00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 1: Wells and Rhett Brian. I am Mike Keith, and what

6
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:32,960
Speaker 1: is the OTP four D. Well It's our Monday edition

7
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 1: of the program following a Sunday game where we go

8
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:38,479
Speaker 1: four downs on the Titans performance and of course that

9
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 1: performance yesterday a loss to the New York Giants twenty

10
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 1: one to twenty. So we begin with this first down,

11
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 1: your play that turned the game, and Amy Wells goes first. Mike,

12
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: I think it was the giants second touchdown of the game.

13
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 1: The sixty five yard bomb from Daniel Jones to Sterling

14
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: Shepherd tied the game at thirteen, and it was coming

15
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 1: off of just a rough third quarter for the Tennessee Titans.

16
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 1: They had a couple third and out series. The Titans

17
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,399
Speaker 1: had got their first penalty of the game just right

18
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 1: before that, and it just felt like all of this

19
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 1: sudden the game had start to spun out of control

20
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:19,400
Speaker 1: and with the gap in scoring closing at that thirteen

21
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: thirteen tie at that time, it just got out of

22
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 1: hand and the Titans really couldn't get their footing back.

23
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:28,320
Speaker 1: That was exactly the play I had pointed to that

24
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,120
Speaker 1: I had written down where Christian Fulton got turned around

25
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 1: and Sterling Shepard goes into the end zone. I will

26
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 1: go the other direction now and say a play that

27
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:42,400
Speaker 1: could have turned the game was the valuable end zone

28
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 1: interception by the recently extended contract and number thirty seven

29
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: Amani Hooker. I think that that was a real big

30
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 1: momentum shift right there in a place where that was

31
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 1: what right after the muffpunty by Kyle Phillips, and so

32
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: you know their backs are against the wall, he makes

33
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 1: a big play right there. Pretty nice moment on the

34
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 1: sidelines after the Hooker interception that you saw Amy, It

35
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 1: was a very nice moment. Kyle Phillips was obviously very

36
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 1: upset about that muffed punt. He was in a bad

37
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 1: spot and a lot of guys had come over to him,

38
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: told him to keep his head up, that they had him,

39
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 1: no big deal. And then after a money Hooker gets

40
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 1: that interception, everybody on the bench came over and hugged

41
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 1: Kyle Phillips like actually picked him up off the ground

42
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: hugged him. It was a moment that said, hey, we're

43
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 1: your teammates, we've got this, we'll take care of it.

44
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: It's okay. And it was really a cool moment to

45
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 1: see guys really showing that this is a team game

46
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:43,239
Speaker 1: and complimentary football is a real thing, not just something

47
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: that we talk about, but really every facet of the

48
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 1: team needs to work and needs to do their job

49
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 1: and they help each other out. Well. Phillips did a

50
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 1: good job overall. He did have a couple of bad moments.

51
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: The muff punt, a drop pass that would have picked

52
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 1: up a first down on what turned out to be

53
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 1: the Titans last drive of the first half, which was

54
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 1: a big play. I go back a little further in

55
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 1: the first half though, the big play by the Titans

56
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 1: where Daniel Jones is knocked loose from the ball by

57
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Simmons, it's recovered by Bud Dupree. He's taken down

58
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,080
Speaker 1: at the forty two yard line. The Titans get a

59
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: penalty to extend the drive, and then Tannehill hits Hollister

60
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 1: for twenty two yards to the eleven first down, Derrick

61
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 1: Henry for four yards. Second down, Tannehill to Swain for

62
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 1: two yards. It's third down and four at the five,

63
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 1: and the Titans don't get it in. Tannehill can't find

64
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 1: anybody in the end zone. He's going to Henry. That

65
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 1: doesn't work. It wouldn't have worked even if he had

66
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 1: caught the ball. And you have to kick a field goal,

67
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 1: score a touchdown. Right there, it's a three score game.

68
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 1: I think it's over. And the reason being is because

69
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: I don't think that the Giants can go into the

70
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 1: second half and be as thou about staying with the

71
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: run as what their plan obviously was, because suddenly three

72
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: scores down, you start counting possessions when it was only

73
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: thirteen to nothing, and then the fact that you had

74
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: two more opportunities with the football, one more in the

75
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: first half, in the first possession of the second half,

76
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: you had a chance to extend the lead to three scores,

77
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 1: and you didn't do it. When you didn't do it,

78
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 1: you said, okay, Giants, if you want to keep trying

79
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,919
Speaker 1: to run it, you can. And then Barkley breaks the

80
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: sixty eight yarder. The four play, ninety yard drive all

81
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 1: on the ground. Here we go. It's a ball game,

82
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 1: because even if that had happened otherwise, they still would

83
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 1: have been two scores behind. In this case, they're only

84
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: down thirteen to six, and they're saying, here we go. Well,

85
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 1: and I thought to kind of underline what you're saying,

86
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 1: Brian day Ball and Mike Kafka making an adjustment at halftime,

87
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: because listen, they were wrecking Daniel Jones's day in that

88
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 1: first He's not going to finish the game. No, no,

89
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:02,719
Speaker 1: and so what do they do? Gave it to the

90
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 1: horse and went that direction and it worked for them.

91
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 1: Somebody made the point to me this morning. They said, well,

92
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 1: the Titans got out coached in the second half. I

93
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,280
Speaker 1: didn't think that. I thought the Giants did what they

94
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:18,039
Speaker 1: should have been doing all along exactly. I mean that

95
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 1: was you know, I said to coach mac at one

96
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 1: point early in the ballgame, Sequen Barkley has one carry

97
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 1: for one yard. What are you doing? I mean, their

98
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 1: path to victory I thought was pretty simple, and that

99
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 1: was Phebe Barkeley. And they finally started doing it, and

100
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:38,720
Speaker 1: wisely for them, congratulations. It took him a while. The

101
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 1: Giants adjusted at halftime. This is what happened sometimes. Well,

102
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: I mean he got carries in that last segment. I mean,

103
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 1: he had a thirteen yard run in the last minute

104
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 1: of the first half on a draw and then he

105
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 1: caught a pass for eleven yards and it was like, Okay,

106
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: now you're finally going to get the guy involved. I mean,

107
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: he was the number two pick overall. He's an incredibly

108
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 1: talented player. And the other thing too, is he's as

109
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 1: healthy as he will be all year long. And Mike,

110
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:11,479
Speaker 1: it reminded me and I guess it's it's kind of

111
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: what opposing teams have been on the receiving end of

112
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 1: when Derrick Henry keeps chugging in a game and gets

113
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 1: better as the game goes along. Later it gets Saquan

114
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 1: has that quality about him, and you're right, the health

115
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 1: is huge because he's been really dinged up over the

116
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 1: last couple of years. They did what they were supposed

117
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 1: to do. You're right, Well, he is second to Derrick

118
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 1: Henry in fifty yard touchdowns over the course of his

119
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 1: career and being playing a fraction of the time and

120
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:42,159
Speaker 1: been playing a fraction at the time. He did the

121
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 1: majority of that his first two years in the league,

122
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: and then the last two years has done very little

123
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 1: because of injury, but you had to be scared about him,

124
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 1: and he absolutely broke out, all right. So that's first down,

125
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 1: second down. The stat that grabbed your attention, rhet you

126
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 1: go first this time, Mike. It's that seven of the

127
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:06,040
Speaker 1: titans ten longest plays were explosive plays of twenty yards

128
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 1: or more on offense, and yet twenty points is all

129
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 1: you got out of it, which tells you about third

130
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 1: down woes and other things with penalties and the like.

131
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 1: When you see that and you see that you only

132
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 1: got twenty points out of it, that points to me

133
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 1: as to one of the areas that is needed for improvement.

134
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 1: Minus that, the Titans had nineteen total first downs in

135
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 1: this game, and only two of them were obtained by

136
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 1: rushing the ball. The Titans as a whole had less

137
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 1: than one hundred total rushing yards ninety three to be exact,

138
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 1: and eighty two of them came from Derrick Henry. I

139
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: was surprised by how low those numbers were given what

140
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 1: we expected the Titans to be doing, which is just

141
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 1: running that ball and Derrick Henry just straight at the Giants.

142
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 1: I was surprised by that. Mine was something that Mike

143
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 1: Rabel said today in his press conference, he said there

144
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 1: were double digit mistackle Now is that ten or is

145
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 1: that twenty? I mean, he didn't say, But what I

146
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 1: knew watching the ball game is I didn't think the

147
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 1: Titans tackled very well. They had opportunities to get guys

148
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 1: on the ground in certain situations and they did not

149
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 1: do it, And ultimately I thought it cost him third

150
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 1: down area where the Titans must improve from yesterday. Amy,

151
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 1: you go first on third down, Well, Mike, it's on

152
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 1: defense and it's run defense specifically. Jeffrey Simmons said after

153
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 1: the game that it wasn't good enough and that that

154
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 1: is something that he personally was frustrated with. The Giants

155
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 1: had two hundred and thirty eight rushing yards against the

156
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,439
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans. One hundred and sixty four of them came

157
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 1: from Sequon Barkley. I mean, it's just not good enough.

158
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 1: From the mouth of Jeffrey Simmons, who I trust everything

159
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 1: that man says, it's something that needs to be fixed

160
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:54,200
Speaker 1: going forward. For me, it's on third down is third down,

161
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 1: the third d of four d OTP is third down

162
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,559
Speaker 1: on all offense three of eleven throughout that ball game,

163
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,560
Speaker 1: and I think the more troubling thing is that it's

164
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 1: a lot of that was third and short opportunities that

165
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 1: were not converted. That has to improve going forward. There

166
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 1: were some makeable ones that I mean, if you go

167
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 1: six for eleven, you win the game. Maybe even if

168
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,320
Speaker 1: you go five for eleven, you win the game with

169
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 1: some good opportunities. The Giants were two of ten, but

170
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:26,560
Speaker 1: they had some third and Forever's Titans let them catch

171
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 1: the ball game fifteen yards and then punt, So that

172
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 1: two for ten for them is a little misleading. The

173
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 1: three for eleven for the Titans seems like more of

174
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 1: an indictment because there were chances if you catch the ball,

175
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 1: if you take care of things. For me, it's gonna

176
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: be about mistackles. I mean, I'm gonna go back to

177
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 1: that again. I mean, I think as you get ready

178
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 1: to play Buffalo, I mean, you've got to tackle Josh Allen,

179
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,679
Speaker 1: You've got to tackles to find digs. You've got to

180
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 1: tackle Motor Singletary, you've got to tackle Dawson Knox. I mean,

181
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 1: the bunch you saw yesterday. Berkeley's great and he's hard

182
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 1: to tackle. The Bills have like five guys, Yeah, because

183
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 1: you haven't even mentioned Gabriel Davis and Isaiah Mackenzie. I mean,

184
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 1: they are loaded loaded well, But if you want a

185
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 1: silver lining, I'm remembering Heath Bullock this past week on

186
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 1: Titans Tonight said that in the first game of the

187
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 1: regular season, there's always more missed tackles because it's you're

188
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 1: just not in that live action mode necessarily. I understand that.

189
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 1: So if there's a silver lining, maybe it's gonna get better.

190
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 1: It's got to. I mean, it absolutely has to, because

191
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 1: otherwise I just don't think you have a chance to

192
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 1: win the ball game due to what the name's read

193
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 1: added to the four that already laid out there. I mean,

194
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 1: you're playing against a six five, two hundred and forty

195
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:49,080
Speaker 1: pound quarterback who was the Bills leading rusher in the

196
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 1: season opening win at Los Angeles over the Rams. He

197
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 1: rushed for fifty six yards, and I mean he's like

198
00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:59,559
Speaker 1: a running back when he comes at you, you know,

199
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:01,559
Speaker 1: they're just there are a lot of things you gotta

200
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 1: get him on the ground. And the Giants didn't have

201
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 1: as much trouble with that yesterday, which is one of

202
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 1: the reasons that they picked up the victory. Fourth down,

203
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 1: we always try to end with a positive. I feel

204
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:15,679
Speaker 1: like I've been a little down, so we're gonna end

205
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 1: with a positive. Fourth down. Who's your player of the game,

206
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:22,559
Speaker 1: Reet Bryant. I'm gonna go with one because I think

207
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 1: one of you is going to mention this other persons,

208
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna give you that one. Because here's one.

209
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 1: I really am gonna take six like Amby dun No,

210
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 1: I'm not taking six. I'm taking but I'm being generous

211
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:34,319
Speaker 1: in the fact that one of you is gonna name

212
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 1: who I would have named in this, but I'm gonna

213
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,440
Speaker 1: give you one that a guy that made this roster

214
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 1: for many reasons, and one of them is because of

215
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 1: what he can do out of the backfield, and that's

216
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 1: don Treille Hilliard. He had two carries for eight yards

217
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 1: on the ground, but he had three catches on four

218
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 1: targets sixty one yards, two touchdowns, and he is the

219
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 1: new personal protector for a rookie punter in Ryan Stonehouse.

220
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,160
Speaker 1: I thought he did a really nice job yesterday. Well,

221
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,679
Speaker 1: and you have to credit John Robinson there too for

222
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 1: resigning him and with the thought process that they had

223
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,960
Speaker 1: that he could be this guy because as we mentioned

224
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 1: on the broadcast yesterday. He wasn't last year. Nineteen catches

225
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 1: for eighty seven yards and no touchdowns. That's four and

226
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 1: a half yards a catch, and so for him to

227
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 1: show up the way he did, and we've seen it

228
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 1: in training camp, we thought it could happen, and it

229
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 1: was able to happen. Dantrell Hilliard is a good one.

230
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:30,959
Speaker 1: Mine's Kyle Phillips. Is that who your person was? Right?

231
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 1: It's really okay? Well, mind's Kyle Phillips, and I didn't

232
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 1: steal Rhet's number two guy. I think that for the

233
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 1: fact that he had six catches for sixty six yards.

234
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,439
Speaker 1: I think that he had a great punt return early

235
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 1: in the game. I think that he was a consistent

236
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:50,319
Speaker 1: presence for Ryan Tannehill. And we have to remember he's

237
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 1: a rookie. It was his first NFL game. He had

238
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 1: never done that at fourth round pick. Yeah, I think

239
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:59,840
Speaker 1: that for what he was able to accomplish and listen, yes,

240
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 1: he had some bad steps, He had some moments of inconsistency,

241
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 1: He had some plays that he wants to take back,

242
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 1: and he said after the game that he was not

243
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 1: happy with his performance. It was not his best game

244
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 1: and he wants to be more reliable for Ryan Tannehill

245
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:18,079
Speaker 1: and for the entire team. And I think that that

246
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 1: is just I'm so impressed by him and what he's

247
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 1: been able to do as a rookie in his first

248
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 1: NFL game. Kyle Phillips, I think you're the man, all right.

249
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 1: So Kyle Phillips is the man for Amy Wells. She says,

250
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 1: mind's a money hooker, And here's a guy gets contract

251
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 1: the end of the week, gets a contract done because

252
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 1: he says, this is where I want to be. I

253
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 1: don't want to do the whole Oh let's compare to

254
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:49,439
Speaker 1: somebody else's contract at safety. Don't care. It's a lot

255
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 1: of money. I'm happy with it. Let's take it and

256
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 1: let's move on because I want to be a Titan.

257
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 1: And then what does he do. He goes out and

258
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 1: backs it up. He has a huge interception in a

259
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 1: key situation, as you mentioned, Amy would have been the

260
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:05,840
Speaker 1: play of the game, nearly saved the game for the Titans.

261
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:09,320
Speaker 1: Certainly Kyle Phillips will be buying him lunch, dinner, a

262
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 1: tank of gas, whatever, snacking this week because he got

263
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 1: him off the hook. But that's how you respond when

264
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 1: you get paid. Your best players in this league make

265
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 1: the most money. Those are the guys who have to

266
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 1: come through at the biggest moments. A mighty Hooker backed

267
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 1: up the Bucks even though they backed up the Brinks

268
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 1: truck for him on Friday. That's a pro thrilled that

269
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 1: he's on this football team. But that's not who you

270
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 1: thought anybody was gonna pick. No. No, I would have

271
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 1: said Ryan Tannehill. I thought he had a nice day

272
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 1: considering everything that happened at the way it ended up,

273
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 1: because we put the Titans in position to win the game.

274
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 1: He absolutely did. How many drops did you have? I

275
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 1: think I had four? I had four, Okay, And guys,

276
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 1: he hit nine different receivers in this He is dialed in.

277
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 1: There's no question about that. And I would have mentioned

278
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 1: him there. But I'm so glad you said a Monty Hooker, Mike,

279
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 1: because and your great interview that you had with Kevin

280
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 1: Byard that we played in Titans Countdown and it has

281
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 1: been on Titans platforms. One of the things that stood

282
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 1: out in that interview is he told you, Kevin Byard said,

283
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 1: I think a Monny Hooker is ready to take yet

284
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 1: another step forward to being an even better safety in

285
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two and in a one game sample he's

286
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 1: doing it and Byard led the team in tackles with

287
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 1: twelve yep, he was coming up making some pops and

288
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 1: thought he did a good job overall. So the Titans

289
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 1: are certainly good at safety. And now getting ready to

290
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 1: go to Buffalo for Monday Night football. Couple of reminders

291
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 1: for you, and that is tomorrow night. Tuesday Night, we're

292
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:49,400

Speaker 1: w k r N in Nashville. That's Channel two. Excited

294
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 1: to be back with the head coach for that Wednesday night.

Speaker 1: Titans and the Buffalo Bills for the fifth straight year

304
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 1: from high Mark Stadium. What does it used to be called?

305
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 1: Ralph Wilson was Ralph Wilson Stadium in Orchard Park, New York.

306
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 1: And then they got money. Soph's sorry, Ralph, that's what happens. Well,

307
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 1: Ralph's not with us, and so he's he's okay, he's remembered.

308
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:46,400
