9
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 1: I've got. You don't know. I've got to go to

10
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 1: that moment of reevaluation where you sit down with the

11
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 1: pad and you go, Okay, I've got You know, that's

12
00:00:54,720 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 1: always the bad thing because you realize you've blown it somewhere. Yeah,

13
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 1: I get that. I mean family stuff. I think I'm okay.

14
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,680
Speaker 1: See when your family lives in a different state, you've

15
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 1: got to be on topic desided to get that stuff

16
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:11,040
Speaker 1: in the mail. So, but that's done. It's actually better

17
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,039
Speaker 1: in a way though. Oh it's great. I mean not

18
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:17,320
Speaker 1: that we're not together, but it is magnificent. For the

19
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 1: gift stuff. Oh, I wrapped my laugh my last gift yesterday,

20
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 1: So I've got five days to just ho ho ho

21
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:27,559
Speaker 1: and enjoy the season. It's great, nice, all right. Shut

22
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 1: out of the Giants awesome, it was awesome, two hundred

23
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 1: ninety four games. What was really cool, really cool was

24
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 1: you know where we were in the Titans radio booth

25
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,759
Speaker 1: at MetLife Stadium. The coaching staff is right next to us,

26
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 1: and so to see the defensive coaches when Kevin Byard

27
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 1: made the play and it ended and they knew they

28
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: were going to get a shut out. I mean, that

29
00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 1: was so special to see. I mean, all the hard

30
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: work that goes into that and how hard it is

31
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: to shut out another NFL team. And of course they

32
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: had no idea it had been two hundred counting playoffs,

33
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 1: it had been two hundred and ninety four games. It's

34
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: hard to believe. I mean, you get you brought it

35
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: up on the practice field last week. I have to

36
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 1: give you credit. And I didn't realize it had been

37
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 1: that long. I remember the game when it happened. It

38
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 1: seemed like forever ago. Henry Ford scored a touchdown that game.

39
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: Keith Bullock scored a touchdown that game. That's when the

40
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 1: Titans toppled the Ravens to get the number one seed,

41
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 1: and until that conversation took place in the practice field

42
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 1: last week, you know, as many games as I've washed

43
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: over the years, I guess I didn't realize it had

44
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: been that long since the last shutout. So it's just remarkable.

45
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 1: And I'd like to see the reaction myself of the

46
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 1: coaches because that hounded on the wind. I mean, it

47
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 1: was just, you know, it's one of those things that

48
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 1: when you work for the team and you know the

49
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 1: coaches as people, you're especially happy for them because you

50
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 1: see all the hard and you see him after wins

51
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 1: and after losses and after they get injury news, and

52
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 1: I mean, it is it's a roller coaster. That's such

53
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,639
Speaker 1: a hard job to be a defensive coach in this league,

54
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: especially with the rules the way they are now, and

55
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 1: to do that was was really special and uh, you know,

56
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,360
Speaker 1: and the players and Mike Vawe became aware of it

57
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 1: late in the game, and he admitted that he was

58
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 1: kind of getting their focus sure straight to hey, let's

59
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,079
Speaker 1: let's do this, and uh, you know, to see it

60
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 1: play out like it did, your thought. I was thinking

61
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: the Giants might end up getting a late, cheap touchdown,

62
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 1: and it would ruin. And that's the little way it

63
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: works out. A lot of times. You you see those

64
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 1: things go away at the very end when you're in

65
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:42,839
Speaker 1: some kind of a prevent because usually when you got

66
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 1: to shut out, you're got a pretty good lead. But

67
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: I was able to get the stop down there, and um,

68
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 1: pretty historic moment. Well, the other part of it too

69
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: is they could have back to back shutouts because remember

70
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 1: in the Jacksonville game, the first two points were on

71
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 1: Cameron Batson and the special teams. The defense didn't give

72
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 1: up two points and then the touchdown, You could at

73
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 1: the very least say they haven't given up a touchdown

74
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 1: in two games. Because Jacksonville's touchdown was certainly controversial. Yeah,

75
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 1: still not sure the receiver got his feet down right,

76
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 1: So pretty good job by the defense. Awesome job by

77
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 1: the defense, and especially seeing Kevin Byrn make that play.

78
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 1: Everybody on the defensive side of the ball, and I

79
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:33,599
Speaker 1: think on the team in general, loves Kevin Byard. They

80
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 1: all were so happy for him. The whole bench area

81
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: just cleared. Everybody went to congratulate him and to celebrate.

82
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,599
Speaker 1: It was a cool thing to say. Then obviously, the

83
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: remember the Titans dance have you ever seen anything like

84
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:53,039
Speaker 1: that from this organization get that much attention? Well, I

85
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 1: guess what was the dance of a couple of years

86
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,160
Speaker 1: ago when the guys all kind of got on the

87
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 1: defensive players. They did the doo wop yeah out there,

88
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 1: you know, sort of the fifties sixties Temptations four tops

89
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 1: move which everybody played everywhere, and it was well choreographed

90
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 1: and everybody around the country used it forever and ever,

91
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 1: but it got nothing like this got the attention. I

92
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: think that this is getting extra attention because it's so

93
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 1: I mean, it's so easy to put it with the

94
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 1: Titans were we are the Titans, the Mighty Titans, and

95
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 1: so it's it was so perfect. Everything about it was perfect.

96
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:38,279
Speaker 1: And as someone who really enjoys the celebrations and the

97
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:42,040
Speaker 1: choreography and all that, I give it a ten, don't.

98
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:47,840
Speaker 1: I don't love every celebration because some of it it's

99
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 1: so contrived. In so many situations it's just bad. I

100
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: don't like the posing. I don't like the posing for

101
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,600
Speaker 1: the pictures. I'm not But the thing is, give me

102
00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:02,159
Speaker 1: originality in a moment where it's obvious you're having fun,

103
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,559
Speaker 1: you're not taunting the other team. You're you're not being

104
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 1: nasty toward the other team. You're just excited, right, which

105
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:15,719
Speaker 1: I think is the just the genesis whatever of them

106
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: changing this rule. Show us the excitement, show us the fun.

107
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: This is exactly what that was, right. It was fun, Yeah,

108
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 1: and so so clever, very cool. And then it has

109
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,119
Speaker 1: prompted and we talked about this at the practice field

110
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,159
Speaker 1: on the practice for yesterday. Nick Shephard, a Titans fan,

111
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 1: put out on Twitter yesterday that I guess fans want

112
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 1: to get together and do this. Remember the Titans dance

113
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:41,359
Speaker 1: walking across the pedestrian bridge on Saturday morning, and that

114
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,599
Speaker 1: thing is kind of took off on social a little bit.

115
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 1: I'll be curious to see how many people show up.

116
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 1: If you're a Titans fan, I think they're spreading the

117
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 1: word two o'clock on the pedestrian bridge. Everyone's going to

118
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,480
Speaker 1: meet and try to do this. Remember the Titans dance

119
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 1: walking over toward Nistan Stadium before the game against the Redskins.

120
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 1: So here's the thing. You need everyone to participate or

121
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 1: don't do it. Like if you get yeah, if you

122
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,280
Speaker 1: get it, just a couple of people doing it, then

123
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 1: you kind of look like you're in a weird like

124
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 1: ceremony of some sort and that's strange. But like if

125
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 1: everybody does it, then can you practice that? I guess.

126
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 1: I mean, you're gonna have to show you watch the

127
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:24,559
Speaker 1: watch the movie, show the YouTube clip probably of people

128
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 1: sadly who can't do it. That's well, yeah, you gotta

129
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 1: have some rhythm, not a lot a lot, but just

130
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 1: not a lot, a little maybe once you stand up

131
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 1: and maybe shows hots done well. I think I won't

132
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 1: do that. I think we're gonna veto that. I think

133
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 1: I won't. I don't rhythm. So we send out a

134
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 1: shout out for the shutout, but I want to send

135
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 1: out a couple of other shoutouts. First to Amy Wills,

136
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 1: great job hanging in the weather the other day, some

137
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 1: of the nastiest weather I can ever remember. On the sidelines.

138
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 1: You survived, great job. Oh my gosh, that was And

139
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 1: we had done rain. I mean we had the seven

140
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 1: hour game, so rain I can handle. That was insane.

141
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 1: It was constant, it never let up, it never stopped,

142
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 1: and at some point you just have to realize this

143
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 1: is your life and you're just gonna go with it.

144
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 1: For the next couple of Times made the comment, well,

145
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 1: we ran the ball because of the weather. You completely understood.

146
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 1: I get it. Yeah, I understand why you ran the

147
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 1: ball because of the weather. It was what My notes

148
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 1: were completely washed away within the first quarter, Like we're

149
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 1: just I had my microphone a little sandwich baggy, so

150
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 1: that was a weird thing to maneuver. Everything was soaked.

151
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 1: But I mean the Titans got the win. It was

152
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:51,320
Speaker 1: an awesome game. I'll stand in a volcano of nice.

153
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 1: Nice job on the sidelines for Titans Radio in the weather,

154

00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: online dot com. And if you haven't read it, it

157
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 1: is really Eddie George and Derrick Henry and I don't

158
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,599
Speaker 1: want to give away the whole thing, except the overview

159
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 1: is Derrick Henry asked Eddie George for advice a couple

160
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 1: of months ago. I guess or if you right at

161

Speaker 1: the bye week up at the bye week, and uh,

162
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 1: he got advice and then something Yeah, I mean, Eddie

163
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 1: George flat out told him it is a great story.

164
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 1: Jim Well, I appreciate that. At Titans online dot com

165
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 1: it's why we refer to him as TGJ, the Great Jim.

166
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 1: Why it really is super and people around the country

167

Speaker 1: are talking about it. Everyone's talking about it. Well, I

168
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:45,079
Speaker 1: appreciate him. It's great. I mean that that that Derek's

169
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 1: in a position that he is able to take some

170
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 1: constructive criticism. This is guy's a Heisman Trophy winner, very

171
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,440
Speaker 1: accomplished playing his career. A lot of guys we've been around,

172
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,599
Speaker 1: who hey, I've got this, you know, I'll figured it

173
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 1: out myself. And he's He's become friendly with Eddie over

174
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 1: the years from the high the community. I know Edie.

175
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 1: I talked, you know, talking to him yesterday. He said,

176
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,440
Speaker 1: Derek's been his house several times. But Derek texted Eddie said, hey,

177
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 1: got a couple of minutes where I can talk to you, uh,

178
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 1: you know, to try to figure some things out, and

179
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:13,200
Speaker 1: ask him point blank, what do you think about how

180
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 1: I'm playing? What I need to do when you're as

181
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:17,439
Speaker 1: you said, Michael, Eddie shot him straight. He gave him

182
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 1: specific examples. He was at the game in London, watched

183
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,680
Speaker 1: him against the Chargers, said there was one play in particular,

184
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 1: we had a chance to kind of size the guy

185
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:25,960
Speaker 1: up and run through him and he didn't do it.

186
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 1: And he challenged him, you need to start running hard.

187
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 1: You need to be tougher, you know. He mentioned, you know,

188
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 1: the trade rumors that were out there or surrounding Derek

189
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:35,960
Speaker 1: and said, hey, you you know you'd better do something

190
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 1: because your career is at stake here. And uh, you know,

191
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,679
Speaker 1: Derek took the advice. You know, he thanks Eddie Ford.

192
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 1: Eddie didn't beat around the bush, he said, you know,

193
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 1: in his career when he went to somebody for he

194
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,439
Speaker 1: didn't want somebody to tell him like what he wanted

195
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 1: to hear. He wanted them to shoot. It's not easy

196
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 1: to do. It's not I mean, if if someone asks you,

197
00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 1: like if someone like young broadcaster says, hey Mike, what

198
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 1: about and there and it's not good? Can I say, look, Timmy,

199
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 1: think about something different? I mean I don't know that.

200
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 1: I mean most people can't do that. You're you're like,

201
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 1: oh that's well. I mean you just maybe you don't

202
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 1: tell them they're good if they're not, but maybe you

203
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 1: just don't tell them anything. You're just like, oh, you're

204
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 1: nice person. I mean, this was I mean, when you

205
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 1: read the comments in the article I read it twice

206
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 1: because I thought, wow, he was harsh. He was I mean,

207
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 1: at the very least direct. I think that's fair. But

208
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 1: you have to remember that at this level, this is

209
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:43,440
Speaker 1: as good as it gets. You are not going to

210
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 1: find better football players anywhere on the planet right in

211
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 1: the National Football League. And Eddie knows that. And there's

212
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:54,080
Speaker 1: the Heisman thing. So these are guys, yeah, and they

213
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 1: are the best of the best. And so to turn

214
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 1: to one person, a guy like Eddie George who has

215
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:04,719
Speaker 1: as this amazing legacy in football, and Derek who has

216
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:09,439
Speaker 1: so much potential to have them have like a mentor

217
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:13,560
Speaker 1: mentee relationship, and I don't think that Eddie is going

218
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:19,200
Speaker 1: to allow Derek to kind of not soil the name

219
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 1: but underperform. You know. I think that there is a

220
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 1: there's a an expectation. Could you do that? Though? Could

221
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 1: you be that honest? If I was Eddie George? Heck, yes,

222
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:35,680
Speaker 1: I could. I'm great. I mean, no, it's difficult, and

223
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,719
Speaker 1: they don't I mean, I don't know their relationship very well.

224
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 1: But they haven't known each other very long. They met

225
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: each other on our radio show a couple of years ago,

226
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 1: and so they can't be like super friends where they

227
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 1: know that it's just it's a family thing. You know,

228
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 1: I tell you, but I love you. But I think

229
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 1: that this is rising to the standard that is expected

230
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 1: of you. And Eddie, if he sees things, if he

231
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 1: knows things, he seems to me as the kind of

232
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,680
Speaker 1: person who's going to let you know because he wants

233
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 1: you to meet the standard. He wants you to carry

234
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 1: the name. He's a Titans running back, He's a Heisman winner.

235
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 1: Eddie has passed the torch to Derrick Henry. Now show

236
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 1: up there you got and that's what it is. And

237
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 1: Eddie himself says, hey, I don't want to sit here

238
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 1: and say, hey, my words inspired him. I'm the reason

239
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 1: he ran better. Because we all know Dereck Henry and

240
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 1: how hard he works. He watched him on the practice field.

241
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,199
Speaker 1: We see how big he is. You hear stories about

242
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:32,840
Speaker 1: him and see the videos where he's working out at

243
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 1: the University of Alabama. Tony Dooze is riding him out here.

244
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 1: He's got a good coaching staff that's pushing him as well.

245
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 1: But there's no question. And Derek said himself, and what

246
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 1: he's told him certainly changed his perspective on a lot

247
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,680
Speaker 1: of things, and when you're a guy like that, I

248
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 1: think every little bit helps and then you start to

249
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 1: get some confidence. You see some of this stuff start

250
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:56,200
Speaker 1: to work, and then you just kind of build off

251
00:13:56,240 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 1: of it. Yes, you know he's seen a couple People say, well,

252
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 1: if you know he's everything he's done has been the

253
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 1: last couple of games, That's not true. He's been a

254
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 1: different back since the bye week, has been better. He

255
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 1: has been more decisive, he's been stronger, has averaged per

256
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,320
Speaker 1: carrier's gone up. He was avering three point three yards

257
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 1: of carry at the bye week and since about every

258
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 1: game right at four or five, and then you had

259
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 1: the Hey thirteen four he got hurt. David Flewellen was

260
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:26,359
Speaker 1: taking carries away from Yes, yeah, they put David Flewellen

261
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 1: in to run the football because Dion Lewis was effective

262
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 1: and Derek was struggling, and so they gave the third

263
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 1: team running back carries. You know, in that situation to

264
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 1: see him come on like he has, he has worked

265
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 1: his butt off and that's what I admire about what

266
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 1: he's done, and the fact that he would go to Eddie,

267
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 1: the fact that he would take reps with the scout

268
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 1: team just to get more work, you know, because I

269
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 1: asked Dave McGinnis. I said, he's taking reps them with

270
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 1: the show team. Who goes against the number one defense?

271
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 1: He goes, yeah, he he knows he needs to work.

272
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 1: And so I mean, this guy's earned this and to

273
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 1: take that coaching, to take that criticism, that's a great story, Jim.

274
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 1: I appreciate it is what I'm saying this. I'm not

275
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 1: meaning to embarrass you, but it is what you do

276
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 1: so well and why we are so lucky to have

277
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 1: appreciate you saying that. I mean, it's a it's fantastic.

278
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 1: The other question I had from it too. So I'm

279
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 1: reading it and I'm thinking how hard it would be

280
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 1: to say this to somebody about anything. And I'm thinking

281
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 1: Eddie George has really become the lead Titan. He really,

282
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 1: I mean, he's in London, he does a TV show,

283
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 1: he appears at the season ticket member event. He he

284
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 1: has embraced the role as sort of that elder statesman

285
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 1: in this massive way among all the alumni. It's really

286
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,239
Speaker 1: it's quite an amazing thing to see. It is, considering

287
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 1: how much else he's got going on. I mean, I

288
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 1: talked to Derek yesterday and then when I texted, you know,

289
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 1: when Derek said what he said, I texted Eddie, and

290
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 1: you know, Eddie's always on the go, you know, doing shows,

291
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 1: and he's got so much going on in his life.

292
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 1: I texted him he was, and he immediately got back

293
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 1: to him. He was in Dallas, I guess for a

294
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 1: run of shows there. But he has found time to

295
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 1: do so much for this organization when he's got so

296
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 1: much going on in his personal life. And what a

297
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 1: great ambassador he is for this football team and for

298
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 1: this city. I mean, he's this classic guy we've ever

299
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 1: run across here and his toughness. You know, we talked

300
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 1: so much about Steve McNair and his toughness. Hey, Georgian

301
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 1: never missed a start, never missed a game in his career,

302
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 1: So he was a tough, hard nosed player. Some organization

303
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 1: means so much to him and it has since from

304
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 1: the days of Jeff Fisher, you know, to Munshak to

305
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 1: even through Wizzen Hunt and the Malarch. He has been there,

306
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 1: ready to do his part and be out there for

307
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:08,640
Speaker 1: this team ever since he first walked in the door here.

308
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:10,880
Speaker 1: We had a great time with him when he sat

309
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 1: in on Titans tonight with us filling in for Keith Bullock.

310
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 1: We did I was just thinking about that, and he

311
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 1: has always been willing to step up. He does one

312
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 1: or two shows a year for us. I mean, he's

313
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:24,959
Speaker 1: in town and he's he's someone that I am very

314
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 1: proud to know and proud to have worked with before.

315
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:31,399
Speaker 1: And what a great dude. I mean, we did a

316
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 1: story on him being an othellow gosh. I was brand

317
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 1: new here and he was so kind to me and

318
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:40,959
Speaker 1: he sat down and did an interview with me and

319
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 1: we did the whole thing. I didn't know what I

320
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:45,880
Speaker 1: was doing, but I mean, Eddie was a professional and

321
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 1: he's he's always been someone that I have admired so much.

322
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 1: And throughout the league. You can go anywhere and you

323
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,639
Speaker 1: say Eddie George's name and there Eddie George, Eddie George.

324
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:59,400
Speaker 1: Everybody in America knows who Eddie George is in some capacity.

325
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 1: And for him to be the Titan, you know he is.

326
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 1: He is the embodiment of this organization to so many

327
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:09,639
Speaker 1: people because Eddie George, Steve McNair, those are kind of

328
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:12,200
Speaker 1: names that they know Eddie and Steve. Yeah, and so

329
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 1: they used to say, Eddie and Steve. Yeah, well, it's

330
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 1: it's funny too because we see the Giants the other

331
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 1: day and when they do their opening, when before they

332
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 1: come onto the field, I mean, they roll this open

333
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 1: and it's why Tittle and Frank Gifford and all Lawrence

334
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:37,920
Speaker 1: Taylor and all of these stars throughout their ninety four

335
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 1: year history, and they are just the epitome of class.

336
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 1: They do it the right way. Everything they do is

337
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 1: just classy. And you you beat Big Blue, I mean

338
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 1: it's great, but it's not like you're saying, well, you

339
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:56,160
Speaker 1: want to rub somebody's nose in it or whatever, because

340
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 1: I mean they are they are first class with how

341
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 1: they do everything. For all of their great representatives who

342
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 1: are still involved with Big Blue, they have no better

343
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 1: representative than the Titans do. Eddie George, right, I don't

344
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 1: think any team has any better. And I'm not Dog

345
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 1: and other teams. I'm just saying no franchise has a

346
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 1: better lead representative than the Titans do. With Eddie George,

347
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 1: I agree with that. But think about this team too.

348
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:25,479
Speaker 1: I mean, the Giants ninety four years, the Packers one

349
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,440
Speaker 1: hundred years, there's all the Titans are in their twentieth

350
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:33,119
Speaker 1: season as the tight Yes, think of the ambassadors that

351
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:35,680
Speaker 1: we're going to have that are on this roster right now,

352
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 1: in twenty years, in thirty years, Durrell Casey, Kevin Bayer,

353
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 1: Marcus Mariotte. I mean these names, these people who are

354
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 1: doing so many great things for us. Right now, in

355
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 1: twenty and thirty years, we're gonna have six Eddie Georges.

356
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:51,560
Speaker 1: You know, it's just exciting. It's a good time to

357
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 1: be a Titan. Ready for major moment of the game, Yes,

358
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 1: all right to it. Let's get it. Major moment of

359
00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 1: the game this week. You gotta have a holiday theme

360
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:03,960
Speaker 1: five days or Christmas. So very comfortable in that couch.

361
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:07,879
Speaker 1: He's sitting on the outdoor couch with his wreath. He

362
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 1: enjoys the decorations. He doesn't wear it. He doesn't wear

363
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 1: a sweater though. He doesn't like wear a holiday sweater too.

364
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 1: He's too big. All right, Major moment of the game. Uh,

365
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:23,679
Speaker 1: let's let's um. Who's gonna go first? I think you

366
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:25,439
Speaker 1: should go first. I should go first. Well, you know

367
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:26,919
Speaker 1: what it's gonna be for me, It's gonna be a

368
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:30,400
Speaker 1: sack fumble. Of course. I love hitting the quarterback. It's

369
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 1: my favorite thing in the whole world. Kamalai Karea two games.

370
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 1: He is a healthy scratch. He comes back, he rips

371
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 1: it out of Manning's hands, Darrell Casey recovers. The only

372
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 1: thing that would have been better is if Casey would

373
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 1: have gotten to go score a touchdown. That's my major

374
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 1: moment of the game because that's set up the touchdown

375
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 1: that made it fourteen to nothing and basically ended the

376
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 1: ball game. It was once the Titans got a two

377
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:58,679
Speaker 1: score lead in that game, it was over. Kamalai Karea

378
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:02,639
Speaker 1: now three and a half sacks. Great rush by Landry

379
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:06,919
Speaker 1: to the outside, forces Manning to step up. Derek Morgan

380
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 1: is in there, Korea makes the play. Great recovery by

381
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 1: Big ninety nine, And that's my major moment of the game.

382
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 1: And that was a huge play because that up until

383
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:18,639
Speaker 1: that point, I mean, the Johns were one play away,

384
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:20,880
Speaker 1: and I think Barkley had an opportunity one time where

385
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 1: he got through the mental and I thought, you know

386
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 1: that he could go when they got him down to

387
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 1: the ground. But when you're living on the edge up

388
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 1: by one score, you need a play like this, And

389
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 1: good for Korea who's who stayed with it, even in

390
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 1: his disappointment of being an act of the previous two weeks,

391
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 1: to step in and make a play that was a big,

392
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:42,679
Speaker 1: big development. And he's your guest on Titan's Radio on

393
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 1: Titans Countdown Secon. He is, and we talked a little

394
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 1: bit about him being a healthy scratch and how he

395
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,480
Speaker 1: kept his head in the game basically and what he

396
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:52,920
Speaker 1: felt he was able to contribute to the team even

397
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:55,440
Speaker 1: though he wasn't actually out on the field. It was great.

398
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:59,880
Speaker 1: Titans Countdown on Titan's Radio Saturday at two thirty Central Time,

399
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,200
Speaker 1: and Amy's interview will be a part of it, all right,

400
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:05,199
Speaker 1: Jim Wyatt, your major moment of the game, and we

401
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 1: it's We kind of touched on it earlier. I think

402
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:11,199
Speaker 1: Kevin Byard break up on fourth down after the Johns

403
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 1: had driven the field, had the ball at the four

404
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 1: yard line, had several opportunities. Eli Manning throws it out

405
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:20,119
Speaker 1: to the corner and Bird. Luckily, the ball was a

406
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:22,119
Speaker 1: little bit short and Bird was able to make a

407
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 1: play on it knock it down, leading to the first

408
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 1: shutout since the two thousand seasons. So that's my major

409
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 1: moment of the game, hustling to the spot. Kevin Byard,

410
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 1: well done. All right, let's go to Amy Wells major moment.

411
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 1: I wanted to be last because this one's a little controversial,

412
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 1: and I know that Mike does not agree with me

413
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:48,239
Speaker 1: in this moment. I know he doesn't, But mine is

414
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:52,920
Speaker 1: Marcus Mariota's block that I think was my major moment

415
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 1: of the game. They go out, we have a wildcat situation.

416
00:22:56,440 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 1: Marcus goes out left and he doesn't even take his

417
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:03,440
Speaker 1: hands out of his warmers. This guy has no intention

418
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 1: of being a part of this play. He's just there.

419
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:09,639
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry's gonna do what he's gonna do. Marcus is

420
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:12,440
Speaker 1: just along for the ride in this situation. But wait,

421
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:15,639
Speaker 1: he sees a moment where he thinks he needs to

422
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,119
Speaker 1: get involved. There's a block I can throw, Here's a

423
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:20,719
Speaker 1: play I can make, and Marcus gets in there and

424
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:24,119
Speaker 1: gets the job done. Derrick Henry gets a couple extra

425
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:29,119
Speaker 1: yards and Marcus Mariot is a hero team player. It's funny.

426
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:30,439
Speaker 1: He said he was just trying to get in the way.

427
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 1: He did a lot more just getting the way play.

428
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:37,680
Speaker 1: He brought him to his niece, Marcus. That's Alec Ogletree,

429
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:41,200
Speaker 1: alec Ogletree is a bad man. He probably had fifteen

430
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 1: tackles in that game. And that's the thing. Marcus, who

431
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 1: again had no intention of being involved in that play,

432
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:50,919
Speaker 1: sees an opportunity. Doesn't care who the other guy is.

433
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:53,639
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna take him down. Why because I'm a

434
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 1: team player? Yeah boom, yeah, I love it. And you're

435
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 1: gonna be on the popular end of this. I know

436
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:00,879
Speaker 1: I'm not. I don't want to see the quack throwing blocks.

437
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 1: I don't want to see the quarterbacks with the right shoulder,

438
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:07,639
Speaker 1: not when he couldn't feel his hand or his fingers

439
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 1: or whatever it was for weeks. I want the quarterback

440
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 1: play in every play. I want him taking the snap.

441
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 1: I want him throwing the ball. I want him handing off.

442
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:19,200
Speaker 1: If if that's the seventh game of the World Series, okay,

443
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 1: maybe you know, so to speak. I mean, if that's

444
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,640
Speaker 1: the last drive of the game and you're the playoff

445
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 1: game last year against Kansas City, Okay, but I just did.

446
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 1: And this wasn't nearly as you know. He just gets

447
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 1: a little shoulder in there. See I like this, Okay,

448
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:40,680
Speaker 1: But I mean, if the Titans are going anywhere they're

449
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:44,440
Speaker 1: going with Marcus Mariotte at quarterback. Yeah, I don't want

450
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 1: him going out because he's see I think it's so much.

451
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:51,239
Speaker 1: I think you love that. Now see that when he

452
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 1: does the Bury Church there's the stiff arm Bury Church

453
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 1: cut last week in Jacksonville. Have some go everybody that

454
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:01,479
Speaker 1: was the back ground on my cell phone for at

455
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 1: least a month. Oh not on buried churches. Nope, sorry, yeah, hey,

456
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:09,919
Speaker 1: I listen. I love that. And he's a football player.

457
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 1: I've said all along. He's like McNair in the sense

458
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:17,960
Speaker 1: that and I'm not comparing him definitively to McNair, so

459
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:21,119
Speaker 1: don't say that. But he's like McNair in the sense

460
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,879
Speaker 1: that he is not just a quarterback. He's a ball player.

461
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:27,680
Speaker 1: I get that. I just and that's great. I'm glad

462
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:29,399
Speaker 1: he did that. But if you're going to do it,

463
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:33,920
Speaker 1: throw it with the left shoulder, please, please don't. You've

464
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:36,639
Speaker 1: got to be the quarterback for the last two games.

465
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:39,439
Speaker 1: I get it, and that's it's why I want you

466
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,359
Speaker 1: to get down. I want you to get out of it.

467
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:44,640
Speaker 1: I know he's tough. I know he's tough. You don't

468
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:46,480
Speaker 1: have to convince me. Well, I don't think he's trying

469
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 1: to prove it to you. I don't think he's trying

470
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:49,920
Speaker 1: to prove it to anybody, get it. But I think

471
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 1: that this is bigger. I think it says to his team, Hey, guys,

472
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 1: I'm willing to do whatever it takes. You're going to

473
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:59,120
Speaker 1: get all the love on this at Yeah, because that's

474
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 1: your move. Bring it on. Yeah, but I know that's

475
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 1: what I know you are. I get that. I'm just

476
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 1: saying I don't want him to miss any more time.

477
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 1: I get that. And if he hadn't, if he hadn't

478
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:11,880
Speaker 1: had the elbow thing or the you know, whatever it

479
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:15,160
Speaker 1: was that caused him to be wearing Remember he wore

480
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:19,199
Speaker 1: a glove right for eight weeks, right, I remember he

481
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 1: played in a game where he couldn't throw the ball

482
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:24,359
Speaker 1: more than ten yards down the field. Right. They won,

483
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 1: But I don't want to go through that. Yeah, not

484
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:29,960
Speaker 1: a happy time. But look, because you're gonna win the

485
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 1: last two games. Really need him, right, and he's there,

486
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:35,359
Speaker 1: But we need him to make plays. I understand. And

487
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,439
Speaker 1: that was a play. And you know who makes plays

488
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 1: pro bowlers? They sure do. Oh this is exciting. How

489
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 1: about this three times for ten or the one. Now

490
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:47,439
Speaker 1: three in a row, anybody said, I wasn't surprised in

491
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:49,480
Speaker 1: the least. No, No, I mean he's kind of got

492
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 1: a reputation now that, uh, you know, based on being

493
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 1: in the last couple of years, that he's one of

494
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 1: the best tackles in this game. And now he's done

495
00:26:57,359 --> 00:26:59,439
Speaker 1: something that Brad Hopkins has never done. Let's make it

496
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 1: three times. Brian Hopkins twice, Michael Rush once. Those are

497
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:07,640
Speaker 1: two great tackles that play here previously. Taylor one certainly

498
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 1: deserving in my mind as well. He was dominant, dominant

499
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:16,199
Speaker 1: Sunday against the Giants. Oh my goodness, was he bringing it.

500
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:18,440
Speaker 1: I don't know if I don't know how you grade,

501
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 1: I don't know how he graded, but or if that

502
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:23,800
Speaker 1: was his best game in terms of grading, But oh

503
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:27,439
Speaker 1: my goodness, he was fired up. After every series he

504
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 1: came off and he was just throwing helmets and he

505
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:33,399
Speaker 1: was amped. It was great. Well, it's like in this

506
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:39,199
Speaker 1: three games, Taylor has almost been the poster child for

507
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:42,119
Speaker 1: the Titans in these three games, because it's almost like

508
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 1: he started to put his best performances together down the stretch.

509
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 1: And listen, in December, your best players have to show up. Yeah,

510
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 1: And I think the whole offensive line. I give those

511
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 1: guys Kret. They had been criticized so much this season,

512
00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 1: and some of it probably deserved when this team was

513
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:02,480
Speaker 1: struggling to tech the quarterback and struggling to run the football.

514
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 1: Now I think across the board, the group's improved. I mean,

515
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:08,159
Speaker 1: profits to Dennis Kelly on the other side, and he

516
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:11,920
Speaker 1: was stepping in and playing, and especially following a week

517
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:14,959
Speaker 1: when he lost his father. So that entire group, I

518
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,879
Speaker 1: think is taking it up another level. And certainly when

519
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 1: when Lawe you're high paid tackle and Pro bowler, does

520
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:25,879
Speaker 1: it kind of sets the tone for everybody. And what

521
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 1: about Brett Kerr? Very exciting for Brett Kerns. Back to

522
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 1: back Pro Bowls for the Titans. Punter who leads the

523
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 1: AFC in gross punting yardage twenty nine punch down to

524
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:41,960
Speaker 1: inside the twenty yard line. He has been good again

525
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 1: and man was he on display against the Giants. Flipped

526
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:49,520
Speaker 1: the field multiple times. All five of his punts were

527
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 1: down to inside the twenty. Yeah. And when you're a punter,

528
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:56,480
Speaker 1: you depend so much on your covers, your covers team,

529
00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 1: the guys in front of you, and you know you

530
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:03,160
Speaker 1: to deal with changes from year to year. You know

531
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 1: what's amazing is his touchback would he just got three

532
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 1: touch backs the entire season, which is pretty remarkable. He's

533
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:13,680
Speaker 1: been very consistent. Once again, you know he enjoys the

534
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:16,040
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl. He's got three small kids and going to

535
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 1: Orlando with your kids to see Mickey and hit the

536
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 1: amusement parks for Pro Bowls by the dream, A dream

537
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 1: for a guy like this. And then Jarell Casey, the

538
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 1: first Titan, not the first player in franchise history, but

539
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 1: the first Titan to be named to the Pro Bowl

540
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 1: four times and obviously the first one to go to

541
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:41,440
Speaker 1: four consecutive Pro Bowls. Maybe having his best year in

542
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 1: terms of how dominant he's been and how teams have

543
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:47,719
Speaker 1: gone out of their way to scheme toward him, and

544
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:51,080
Speaker 1: he's still been able to put up numbers. In year eight,

545
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:54,720
Speaker 1: he looks better than ever and hard to believe that

546
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 1: his first two I mean he should. This should be

547
00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:00,640
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl number six for him, because he turned down

548
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:04,200
Speaker 1: his first two opportunities in a stance at that time

549
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:07,000
Speaker 1: was I don't want to go if I wasn't voted in,

550
00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 1: I don't want to go as an alternate, and I

551
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:12,760
Speaker 1: think his wife and some other people around him convinced

552
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:15,440
Speaker 1: him to kind of, I guess, swallow your pride a

553
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 1: little bit there and go. And and as a result,

554
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 1: he's gone four years in a row. And uh, you're

555
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 1: you're you're right, Mike, And I think this could be

556
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 1: as good as a year he had an eleven sacks

557
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 1: season one year. But he's just disrupting things on so

558
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 1: many levels now. Great player, great guy, Walter Payton Man

559
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:38,360
Speaker 1: a year recipient for this football team. And uh, I'm

560
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 1: really happy for a guy like that who works so hard,

561
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 1: who got overlooked. Damie Wells, I say, Kevin birired. He

562
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:48,720
Speaker 1: went last year, he was voted in as an alternate.

563
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 1: This year, still could go. I mean, there's still that chance,

564
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 1: but holy smokes, Kevin Byard has had such a year

565
00:30:56,040 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 1: and he's he's a consistent player, and he's assistently putting

566
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 1: up numbers and making big plays, and the fact that

567
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 1: he didn't get voted in straight up just makes me

568
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 1: sad for him. Wettle went and I was looking to

569
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:14,680
Speaker 1: see who went. And you can understand sometimes when when

570
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:18,320
Speaker 1: this happens, because guys that have been around longer how

571
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 1: many picks does Wettle have? I don't know that. Now.

572
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 1: See Darwin James, the rookie with the Chargers. I immediately

573
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 1: looked up. I thought, oh, well, you know, well he

574
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 1: deserves it, really yeah, oh yeah, even though Kevin Byard

575
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:34,600
Speaker 1: has a touchdoll, well a touchdown pass. Yeah yeah, Derwin

576
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:37,480
Speaker 1: James deserves it. But then I looked up Jamal Adams,

577
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:40,479
Speaker 1: and Jamal Adams only has one pick. He does have

578
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:42,480
Speaker 1: three and a half sacks. Of course he plays in

579
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 1: New York. Well, but I mean, you're all, he was

580
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:47,280
Speaker 1: a high first round pick. I mean, he's gonna get

581
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:50,400
Speaker 1: a lot of attention. Not saying he's not a good player.

582
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:54,440
Speaker 1: You could make the case for Bayer to over him.

583
00:31:54,760 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 1: If Bayard had had the sack interception game earlier instead

584
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:03,840
Speaker 1: of last weekend, it it might have helped, because certainly

585
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:08,840
Speaker 1: performance earlier always sort of factors into that mindset. I

586
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:11,200
Speaker 1: didn't know about Wettle though, I hadn't looked how many

587
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:13,680
Speaker 1: picks does he have? Tom, I do not have that

588
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 1: in front of me. I'll have to have to check

589
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:17,640
Speaker 1: on that for you. You've got a computer in front

590
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 1: of you. I thought I had, I thought, I thought

591
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 1: I had team by team staff, but I'll try it

592
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:26,080
Speaker 1: that way. Well, I mean, Wettell is a great players

593
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 1: nice sorry jump him here live on the OTP. But

594
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:36,880
Speaker 1: but I mean, I agree Bayard is the one. The

595
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:41,240
Speaker 1: Titans have four alternates. Mariota's in there. Obviously. I was

596
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:45,040
Speaker 1: thrilled to see Woodyard get that sort of recognition. That

597
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 1: was five tackles, that was a great thing. Sixty five tackles,

598
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:52,840
Speaker 1: one sack? How many interceptions for Wettal. I don't show

599
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:57,440
Speaker 1: an interception for Wettal. Wow, we get the old reputation.

600
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 1: Fourteen games ye yeahs three passes, defense, no picks. Yeah. See,

601
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 1: now I'm not interesting. Okay, I'm I'm low. Now now

602
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 1: I think you're I think you're the one. See now

603
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:14,760
Speaker 1: this is on namesake only and that I get that

604
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 1: that happens. And I mean I know that guys are

605
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 1: friends and they know each other and it goes off

606
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:23,680
Speaker 1: of reputation a little bit. I understand that, but uh uh,

607
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:27,160
Speaker 1: absolutely not. I'm low on that one not happening. I'm

608
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:30,640
Speaker 1: calling somebody, okay, the league guy, and I don't I would.

609
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 1: I mean, we know Kevin Byrd, He's not going to

610
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:37,000
Speaker 1: call out a guy like what because those guys have

611
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:39,920
Speaker 1: become good buddies. Weddle gave him his number at one

612
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 1: point and and told Kevin to call him anytime. So

613
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:46,000
Speaker 1: Kevin Byrd has so much respect for Eck Weddle and

614
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 1: would probably say, hey, this guy on what he's done

615
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:51,360
Speaker 1: in his career, you know, good for him. We may

616
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:56,400
Speaker 1: retire too, well, he should retire now, but just let's

617
00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:59,080
Speaker 1: just calm down, let's let's not throw a shoulder at

618
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 1: anyone here. Well, but I don't have to quarterback this

619
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:04,520
Speaker 1: team because it is time for Amy Wells Wonders. Now

620
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:07,960
Speaker 1: that I'm all fired up, she's going today. I actually

621
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 1: have two Amy Wells Wonders. Can you have to Well,

622
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:15,120
Speaker 1: I couldn't pick and the first one is kind of

623
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:19,560
Speaker 1: time sensitive, okay, because Christmas is in five not really

624
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 1: a Christmas Eve picture unless you're having egg knock there

625
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:25,400
Speaker 1: you can tell everyone you are just a nice picture

626
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:30,840
Speaker 1: from twenty fourteen. Um, so my first Amy Wells Wonders.

627
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:32,799
Speaker 1: And I had said earlier in the programming that I

628
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:36,279
Speaker 1: have my my Christmas shopping done. That's not one percent true.

629
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:39,480
Speaker 1: Oh I don't have my coworkers Christmas shopping done yet.

630
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:42,640
Speaker 1: And I usually get them at CBS the day before.

631
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 1: But this year I'm putting something I enjoy more than

632
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:51,080
Speaker 1: that annual slim jam. That and a Duncan yo yo,

633
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:56,000
Speaker 1: two gifts I know I'm gonna receive for Amy Wells

634
00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 1: this year. I'm putting my back into it because I

635
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:02,319
Speaker 1: have Amazon Prime. So, Jim, I want to ask you,

636
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:08,919
Speaker 1: what do you want for Christmas? Wondrous mattress. I think, yeah,

637
00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:13,879
Speaker 1: well I can't get that at CVS. But so I

638
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:16,200
Speaker 1: was wondering ahead of time what you wanted for Christmas?

639
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:19,879
Speaker 1: And I picked out a nice selection of visors to see.

640
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 1: It's always a good, good tickle your fans from. Yeah here,

641
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:30,520
Speaker 1: look at that the Dave Foundation. Yeah, you just yell

642
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:32,520
Speaker 1: out if you see one the look at there. That

643
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:40,120
Speaker 1: looks good. Scotsman, we have an assortment here of that

644
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:43,759
Speaker 1: would be nice. I'd be big in the pubs for that.

645
00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:49,520
Speaker 1: Oh I like that. He's got his own tg j W.

646
00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:53,640
Speaker 1: That is not a bad look right there. It looks warm,

647
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:58,160
Speaker 1: it's tight collars. Yeah nice. So that was that was

648
00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:01,480
Speaker 1: my first thing. So you just want to email me,

649
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:04,360
Speaker 1: you're what do you do with visors? Your head size?

650
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:08,040
Speaker 1: Email me that and I'll get you to do with

651
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 1: the velcro on the back and it's kind of adjustable, classy.

652
00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:14,960
Speaker 1: It's nice. I could probably get one of those alight

653
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:19,959
Speaker 1: when she's picking up my Duncan butterfly. Yo yo. Well,

654
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:21,960
Speaker 1: now you're hip to me, Mike. That opens up that

655
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:24,160
Speaker 1: this seeing that opens up a whole new set of

656
00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:27,120
Speaker 1: ideas for me. On the visor. Look, I'll see that's

657
00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:30,120
Speaker 1: what you and your fan base when you go to

658
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:35,319
Speaker 1: all those parties. Okay, I go and disguise for the poor,

659
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:39,040
Speaker 1: go on and disguise. They all know you. What does

660
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:42,319
Speaker 1: your disguise look like? Just a different vibe doesn't have

661
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:53,200
Speaker 1: a visor of a top hat the penguin. Okay, here's

662
00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:55,840
Speaker 1: my second Amy Wells wonders, and this one's a little

663
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 1: more serious. Okay, As the twenty eighteen regular season is

664
00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:01,920
Speaker 1: coming to a close, and we just went on our

665
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:04,920
Speaker 1: last road trip of the regular season, which is always

666
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:08,040
Speaker 1: sad for me. I love to travel. Where are you

667
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:10,520
Speaker 1: travel in January? That's the point. Well, I want to

668
00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:14,520
Speaker 1: travel in January, But I've already moved on the twenty

669
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:18,000
Speaker 1: nineteen schedule. Oh who are we playing? Where are we going?

670
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:20,920
Speaker 1: Do you know? I do know? Actually, I think we

671
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:23,680
Speaker 1: have that. Well, there you go, that was what I wanted.

672
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:25,839
Speaker 1: I think we have the schedule. I like to plan

673
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:29,040
Speaker 1: ahead and pick my dinner spot home. First, we will

674
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:33,480
Speaker 1: play the AFC East team that finishes in the same

675
00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:37,600
Speaker 1: spot that we finish in the AFC South. So I

676
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:42,680
Speaker 1: guess right now that's Buffalo, So Buffalo would be coming here.

677
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:45,160
Speaker 1: Of course that could change. We don't have to go

678
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:49,640
Speaker 1: to Miami though. And then Kansas City, WHOA, the Chargers,

679
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:52,600
Speaker 1: the Saints, and the Bucks all come here along with

680
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:57,279
Speaker 1: the AFC South teams. Look at those Chiefs Chargers. How

681
00:37:57,320 --> 00:37:59,840
Speaker 1: good a home schedule is that? Yeah? How good a

682
00:37:59,880 --> 00:38:04,920
Speaker 1: home schedule? And then the AFC North to be determined

683
00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 1: right now, that would be Cleveland. We would be going

684
00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:11,480
Speaker 1: to Cleveland at this moment. Then we go to Denver,

685
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:15,080
Speaker 1: we go to Atlanta, we go to Charlotte, and then

686
00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:20,040
Speaker 1: we play the Raiders somewhere wherever they are. Yeah. We

687
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:24,120
Speaker 1: had on Mike Vrabel's radio show the other night, Sam Farmer,

688
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:28,400
Speaker 1: who covers the NFL for the Los Angeles Times, he thinks,

689
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:31,480
Speaker 1: in talking to people out that way, that it will

690
00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:34,800
Speaker 1: be pack Bell Park, which is where the San Francisco

691
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:43,040
Speaker 1: Giants play interesting, which is dot co, dot whatever. Well,

692
00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:46,920
Speaker 1: that's exciting for me. That would be potentially four stadiums

693
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:50,480
Speaker 1: I have not been too. That's good, that's exciting. And

694
00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:53,080
Speaker 1: just remember you can order. I was informed by the

695

698
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:03,359
Speaker 1: out about season tickets for next year. With a home

699
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:07,760
Speaker 1: schedule like that, Holy smokes, I jump on that early, yes,

700
00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:09,840
Speaker 1: because those games are going to fill up quick. But

701
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:13,600
Speaker 1: I mentioned going to the playoffs. And for those who

702
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:16,920
Speaker 1: have not studied the Titans path to the playoffs, we

703
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:19,919
Speaker 1: have for you. We have because it's our job. The

704
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:27,120
Speaker 1: Titans are eighth right now in the AFC, and here's

705
00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:30,279
Speaker 1: what's out there. At this point. The AFC West has

706
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:34,839
Speaker 1: not yet been determined. Kansas City leads. If they win

707
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:38,200
Speaker 1: their last two games, they win the AFC West, and

708
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:43,360
Speaker 1: the Chargers would finish as the number five seed because

709
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:46,360
Speaker 1: they would be the number one wildcard, which doesn't totally

710
00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:50,799
Speaker 1: seem fair, but that's how it would be. So if

711
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:53,880
Speaker 1: Kansas City wins out, no matter what, the Chargers do,

712
00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:57,560
Speaker 1: then the Chargers would finish second in the division and

713
00:39:57,640 --> 00:40:01,439
Speaker 1: would be the number one wildcard. Now that Baltimore game

714
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:05,680
Speaker 1: right there with the Chargers Saturday night is very important.

715
00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:09,239
Speaker 1: The Chargers host Baltimore, Titans could really stand for the

716
00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:12,640
Speaker 1: Chargers to win that. Yeah, all right, Pittsburgh right now

717
00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:17,480
Speaker 1: leads the AFC North by a half game over Baltimore.

718
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:20,960
Speaker 1: While you should pull, if you're a Titan fan, for

719
00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:24,959
Speaker 1: the Chargers over Baltimore Saturday night, you could also pull

720
00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:28,719
Speaker 1: for New Orleans to beat Pittsburgh on Sunday late afternoon.

721
00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:33,200
Speaker 1: Because if either of those things happen either one, the

722
00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:37,000
Speaker 1: Titans go to the playoffs with two wins. So as

723
00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:40,399
Speaker 1: we look at what else is out there, Baltimore can

724
00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:46,319
Speaker 1: still win the AFC North, but if they lose to

725
00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:51,000
Speaker 1: the Chargers again, the door opens for the Titans. The

726
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:56,760
Speaker 1: Colts play the Giants on Sunday, they're gonna beat the Giants. Well,

727
00:40:56,840 --> 00:41:00,760
Speaker 1: let's not get hasty, but it really doesn't matter because

728
00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:06,000
Speaker 1: the truth is, outside of like several tie scenarios and

729
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:09,560
Speaker 1: all of that business, the Titans cannot go to the

730
00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:14,560
Speaker 1: playoffs without beating the Colts. Yeah, and that's why they

731
00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:19,400
Speaker 1: could technically go not beating Washington. But they there is

732
00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:22,319
Speaker 1: no scenario that I can come up with, just in

733
00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:26,200
Speaker 1: terms of basic straight down the line that they can't

734
00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:29,279
Speaker 1: go without beating the Colts. So what so, Paul, for

735
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:32,160
Speaker 1: the Giants, if you want to, the Titans are gonna

736
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:35,200
Speaker 1: have to beat Andrew Luck to go to the playoffs. Wow. Yeah,

737
00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:37,520
Speaker 1: And I keep seeing That's why I continue to see

738
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:39,560
Speaker 1: if we if we kind of have gone down this road.

739
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:42,960
Speaker 1: People were saying it's bad that the Indias want beat

740
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:45,759
Speaker 1: the Texans, and bad to anyone that's came. Sure you

741
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:48,040
Speaker 1: would mind seeing them beat a couple of times to

742
00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:50,520
Speaker 1: be eliminated from contention maybe before they come here to

743
00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:53,200
Speaker 1: not have something to play for. But the fact is,

744
00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:55,480
Speaker 1: as you said, tis you have to beat them and

745
00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:57,840
Speaker 1: and that's how the Titans closed the door on the Colts.

746
00:41:57,840 --> 00:42:00,960
Speaker 1: And that's how the Titans open the door into the playoffs.

747
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:04,040
Speaker 1: Obviously still needs some help that you mentioned there from

748
00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:07,600
Speaker 1: other teams losing, but tides you have to take care

749
00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:10,319
Speaker 1: of business against Andrew Luck and the Colts to get

750
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:12,920
Speaker 1: in no matter of a period. Yeah, yeah, because the

751
00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:15,560
Speaker 1: simple way to remember it is if the Colts beat

752
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:18,960
Speaker 1: the Titans again. Then the Colts have swept the Titans,

753
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:21,839
Speaker 1: so they win every tiebreaker, right, so there is no

754
00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:24,960
Speaker 1: way to do it. Now, there are things with ties.

755
00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:28,360
Speaker 1: I know that. I'm just keeping it simple. Yeah, here's

756
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:31,640
Speaker 1: the problem with Saturday though. For the Titans, they got

757
00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:36,040
Speaker 1: all this motivation. Washington has tons of motivation too. Yeah,

758
00:42:36,040 --> 00:42:41,239
Speaker 1: because of their win against Jacksonville, Washington is in a

759
00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:46,200
Speaker 1: position at this point that they are eight. They could

760
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:51,319
Speaker 1: actually if Minnesota loses and Washington wins out, they go

761
00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:55,640
Speaker 1: to the playoffs as a wild card. If Dallas loses

762
00:42:55,680 --> 00:43:01,080
Speaker 1: twice and Washington wins twice, they win the NFC. It's crazy.

763
00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:04,520
Speaker 1: They could actually still even go as the five seed

764
00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:09,440
Speaker 1: if Seattle loses twice and they win twice, no matter

765
00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:15,239
Speaker 1: what Dallas does, so Washington has more openings into the playoffs. Now,

766
00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:19,160
Speaker 1: remember Tennessee and Indy could still win the division. There

767
00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:23,760
Speaker 1: is still that possibility of Houston loses twice, but Washington's

768
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:29,400
Speaker 1: possibilities are much greater. And so even for all they've

769
00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:33,040
Speaker 1: been through, losing four in a row on their fourth

770
00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:39,440
Speaker 1: quarterback having twenty guys on IR, Washington comes to Nashville

771
00:43:39,480 --> 00:43:42,840
Speaker 1: with as much, if not more motivation towards the playoffs

772
00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:45,600
Speaker 1: as the Titans. That's true, and the Titans gotta you know,

773
00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:47,759
Speaker 1: Titans have gotta take it to them. This is a

774
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:50,239
Speaker 1: different Washing team. You look at him and wonder how

775
00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:51,640
Speaker 1: did they get to seven and seven. Well, they got

776
00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:53,520
Speaker 1: to seven and seven because of success they had early

777
00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:55,520
Speaker 1: and they won six games out of the first nine

778
00:43:56,040 --> 00:43:58,239
Speaker 1: than as you mentioned, they've had some injuries, especially at

779
00:43:58,239 --> 00:44:01,640
Speaker 1: the quarterback position. They have not been the same team

780
00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:04,520
Speaker 1: since you know, the midway point of the season. They

781
00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:08,160
Speaker 1: lost four games in a row before winning against Jacksonville

782
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:10,759
Speaker 1: and the kind of an improbable win there to have

783
00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:15,280
Speaker 1: that happened. So Titans need to take care of business.

784
00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:17,759
Speaker 1: I mean, they're they're favorite in this game. You don't

785
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:20,200
Speaker 1: look at the odds, you just look at matchups and

786
00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:22,000
Speaker 1: look at teams. I think the tight type of better

787
00:44:22,040 --> 00:44:24,200
Speaker 1: team than the Washington Redskins. I think it's as simple

788
00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:28,560
Speaker 1: as that. They're rolling right now. Have confidence? Have you know?

789
00:44:28,680 --> 00:44:31,239
Speaker 1: The game is at home at Nissan Stadium. You know,

790
00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:33,719
Speaker 1: I know Mike Vrabel has already kind of put the

791
00:44:33,719 --> 00:44:36,040
Speaker 1: plea out there for fans to show up loud and

792
00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:39,560
Speaker 1: to have an impact on this game. So this is

793
00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:43,200
Speaker 1: a game that the Titans should win, but we look

794
00:44:43,239 --> 00:44:45,560
Speaker 1: around the league and just because you should win doesn't

795
00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:47,800
Speaker 1: mean you'll win every week. And that's why this team's

796
00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:49,360
Speaker 1: got to keep doing what has been doing over the

797
00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:52,520
Speaker 1: last three weeks and just kind of um keep plugging

798
00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:56,600
Speaker 1: away and finding a way. Washington story is defense for

799
00:44:56,640 --> 00:45:00,120
Speaker 1: the majority of the Adrian Peterson in defense AP He

800
00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:03,800
Speaker 1: has nine hundred and twenty one yards rushing and has

801
00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:06,960
Speaker 1: revitalized himself after two years when it looked like his

802
00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:10,320
Speaker 1: career was dead and gone. But it's really been about

803
00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:15,680
Speaker 1: the defense because they lose Colt McCoy after you know,

804
00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:19,480
Speaker 1: they lose Alex Smith. They have some receivers, they have

805
00:45:19,600 --> 00:45:23,520
Speaker 1: some tight ends, but it's about defense and their front.

806
00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:26,760
Speaker 1: You know, Ryan Kerrigan's going to the Pro Bowl again.

807
00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:32,360
Speaker 1: They have those two Alabama players that are you know,

808
00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:34,920
Speaker 1: first round picks in the defensive line to Ron Payne

809
00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:39,240
Speaker 1: and Jonathan Allen. They have Mason Foster, a tackling machine

810
00:45:39,239 --> 00:45:44,319
Speaker 1: at linebacker, Preston Smith another good outside linebacker. I mean,

811
00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:49,439
Speaker 1: they have two great safeties Swearinger and Clinton Dix. I mean,

812
00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:53,720
Speaker 1: they made plays early in the year. They had chances

813
00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:56,239
Speaker 1: to win games. They got to six and three, they

814
00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:59,640
Speaker 1: lost four in a row. But with that Dustin Hopkins

815
00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:02,560
Speaker 1: field on the last play of the game, they have

816
00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:06,759
Speaker 1: revitalized their season. And if the Titans have got to

817
00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:08,840
Speaker 1: come buckled up, they've got to find a way to

818
00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:12,400
Speaker 1: do it. There can be no peaking ahead to Indianapolis. Right,

819
00:46:12,719 --> 00:46:15,200
Speaker 1: they've created I mean they've they're plus nine and take

820
00:46:15,239 --> 00:46:18,960
Speaker 1: away giveaway there. They've created twenty five turnovers this season.

821
00:46:20,040 --> 00:46:23,360
Speaker 1: You know, we all know, uh, you know the Titans.

822
00:46:23,560 --> 00:46:25,920
Speaker 1: I guess the Jets a couple of weeks ago. She

823
00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:28,480
Speaker 1: had to really get off the mat to win that game.

824
00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:30,920
Speaker 1: So you don't show up, you give them already turnover

825
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:33,040
Speaker 1: like the Jets created where they get a pick six

826
00:46:33,120 --> 00:46:36,040
Speaker 1: early and take the lead. You can put yourself in

827
00:46:36,080 --> 00:46:38,960
Speaker 1: a very tough spot. And Titans will have some pressure

828
00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:41,600
Speaker 1: going into this game, no question with the with the

829
00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:44,480
Speaker 1: what's on the line, and uh got to come out

830
00:46:44,520 --> 00:46:47,839
Speaker 1: right to play. There are tickets available for this game.

831
00:46:48,600 --> 00:46:51,560
Speaker 1: There are tickets available, And part of the reason that

832
00:46:51,600 --> 00:46:55,319
Speaker 1: there are tickets available is people didn't know until the

833
00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:57,879
Speaker 1: end of October when this game was going to be played, right,

834
00:46:58,120 --> 00:47:00,200
Speaker 1: and so it's kind of tough for people to say, well,

835
00:47:00,600 --> 00:47:02,879
Speaker 1: do I go ahead and buy these tickets not knowing

836
00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:05,920
Speaker 1: if the game Saturday or Sunday? Maybe I have something

837
00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:10,600
Speaker 1: with family maybe, Well, now we know the game is Saturday,

876
00:49:24,080 --> 00:49:28,080

877
00:49:28,280 --> 00:49:31,840
Speaker 1: Yea stocking caps too, but they call him beanies now

878
00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:35,319
Speaker 1: Toboggans sled. Yeah, no, it's not a hat. We used

879
00:49:35,320 --> 00:49:37,680
Speaker 1: to call it that. Yeah, that was wrong. That was wrong.

880
00:49:37,719 --> 00:49:40,359
Speaker 1: That was wrong. Toboggan is a sled. I don't know

881
00:49:40,400 --> 00:49:43,120
Speaker 1: why people in the South do this. I guess because

882
00:49:43,160 --> 00:49:46,640
Speaker 1: you don't do much sled cicizing the South. Well, I'm

883
00:49:46,640 --> 00:49:48,680
Speaker 1: just saying that I had never heard it before I

884
00:49:48,800 --> 00:49:51,840
Speaker 1: moved to the South, and everyone here calls him Toboggans.

885
00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:55,040
Speaker 1: I've always called him stock What about a stocking cap, Well,

886
00:49:55,040 --> 00:49:57,160
Speaker 1: that makes more sense. Those are the long ones that

887
00:49:57,200 --> 00:50:02,000
Speaker 1: you sleep. Yeah. These actually look great. Oh, I mean

888
00:50:02,040 --> 00:50:05,480
Speaker 1: that what they've given away between the gloves which I

889
00:50:05,560 --> 00:50:09,680
Speaker 1: wore on Sunday? Did I did? The gloves? The scarf

890
00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:13,560
Speaker 1: you call it a scarf, it's scarf and the hat

891
00:50:13,760 --> 00:50:16,120
Speaker 1: that you're gonna get. We are outfitting you for winter.

892
00:50:16,239 --> 00:50:20,600
Speaker 1: You've got a full winter collection. Congratulations Titans season ticket members.

893
00:50:20,680 --> 00:50:22,279
Speaker 1: But this really is going to be a good game.

894
00:50:22,280 --> 00:50:24,680
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a fun game to watch. Both teams

895
00:50:24,680 --> 00:50:27,279
Speaker 1: are extremely motivated. Where would you rather be? It's going

896
00:50:27,360 --> 00:50:30,040
Speaker 1: to be a great game. And and I think, you know,

897
00:50:30,120 --> 00:50:33,880
Speaker 1: Mike Vrabel asking the way that he has, I think

898
00:50:33,960 --> 00:50:36,920
Speaker 1: he feels like, hey, this is it, we need you.

899
00:50:37,719 --> 00:50:40,759
Speaker 1: He wants to see it too. He knows it's been

900
00:50:40,800 --> 00:50:45,000
Speaker 1: there before. He was he experienced it Monday Night Football

901
00:50:45,040 --> 00:50:49,160
Speaker 1: two thousand and two. He experienced it the last Sunday

902
00:50:49,200 --> 00:50:51,400
Speaker 1: of two thousand and six when we had to have

903
00:50:51,520 --> 00:50:54,359
Speaker 1: it that day and the crowd. Team didn't pull through,

904
00:50:54,719 --> 00:51:00,800
Speaker 1: but the crowd was unbelievable. Um, he knows this team

905
00:51:00,880 --> 00:51:04,000
Speaker 1: needs it and he's asking for it, and I think

906
00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:06,200
Speaker 1: they've earned it. Yeah. And I think this fan base,

907
00:51:06,239 --> 00:51:08,600
Speaker 1: I mean this fan base has some really strong, committed,

908
00:51:08,680 --> 00:51:12,279
Speaker 1: loyal fans. But think of where he's been, you know,

909
00:51:12,360 --> 00:51:14,000
Speaker 1: at least where he was during his playing career. He

910
00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:17,040
Speaker 1: played in Pittsburgh, where we all know the Steeler nation.

911
00:51:17,400 --> 00:51:20,120
Speaker 1: He played with the Patriots, we all know what they

912
00:51:20,160 --> 00:51:23,359
Speaker 1: have been able to do. He played at Arrowhead as

913
00:51:23,400 --> 00:51:26,319
Speaker 1: a player, he knows what fan bases can do, and

914
00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:28,799
Speaker 1: he's certainly gotten a taste of that here. This team

915
00:51:28,800 --> 00:51:31,920
Speaker 1: has been really, really successful at home in the last

916
00:51:31,920 --> 00:51:35,239
Speaker 1: several years, completely turned things around from where it was

917
00:51:35,360 --> 00:51:38,040
Speaker 1: not too long ago, and the fans that have stuck

918
00:51:38,120 --> 00:51:41,240
Speaker 1: with this team are now being rewarded for it on Sunday.

919
00:51:41,400 --> 00:51:45,399
Speaker 1: So I think what he wants to see is that

920
00:51:45,480 --> 00:51:49,280
Speaker 1: fan base continue to grow, especially as this team tries

921
00:51:49,320 --> 00:51:52,000
Speaker 1: to do something that hasn't done since it's been in Tennessee,

922
00:51:52,040 --> 00:51:55,560
Speaker 1: and that's put together three straight winning seasons. Hard to

923
00:51:55,560 --> 00:51:57,960
Speaker 1: believe that has not happened since we've been here. And

924
00:51:58,040 --> 00:52:00,000
Speaker 1: he's trying to build this thing for years to come,

925
00:52:00,160 --> 00:52:02,640
Speaker 1: and these are the time, these are the weekends, and

926
00:52:02,719 --> 00:52:06,120
Speaker 1: these are the games that you kind of start building

927
00:52:06,200 --> 00:52:10,400
Speaker 1: toward where everybody wants to be, and that's playing in February. Well,

928
00:52:10,480 --> 00:52:13,560
Speaker 1: let me think about this. If you get in this

929
00:52:13,640 --> 00:52:18,800
Speaker 1: tournament in the AFC, I can give you the top

930
00:52:18,880 --> 00:52:22,120
Speaker 1: eight seeds in the a f C, and from what

931
00:52:22,160 --> 00:52:26,440
Speaker 1: we have seen in the regular season, if I told

932
00:52:26,440 --> 00:52:29,279
Speaker 1: you when you woke up on the morning of the

933
00:52:29,280 --> 00:52:32,880
Speaker 1: Super Bowl that any of the top eight seeds was

934
00:52:32,960 --> 00:52:37,720
Speaker 1: representing the AFC in the Super Bowl, you might be surprised,

935
00:52:38,480 --> 00:52:41,359
Speaker 1: but you wouldn't be shocked. Yea, there is not. I mean,

936
00:52:41,440 --> 00:52:45,200
Speaker 1: Kansas Cities come back to the pack. The Chargers have

937
00:52:45,239 --> 00:52:48,040
Speaker 1: a good team. Houston certainly has a good team there,

938
00:52:48,040 --> 00:52:55,319
Speaker 1: I mean, no question about that. Pittsburgh and Baltimore, Indianapolis, Tennessee.

939
00:52:56,040 --> 00:52:59,759
Speaker 1: I mean there are teams that are clearly in this

940
00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:05,600
Speaker 1: thing right now. And you say, let's see, Yeah, New

941
00:53:05,640 --> 00:53:08,240
Speaker 1: England obviously is New England, but they're nine in five.

942
00:53:09,160 --> 00:53:11,640
Speaker 1: I mean, if you can just get in the tournament.

943
00:53:11,920 --> 00:53:14,160
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say it's like that on the NFC side,

944
00:53:14,239 --> 00:53:16,560
Speaker 1: but some of those teams of here, even the Rams

945
00:53:16,560 --> 00:53:18,400
Speaker 1: of kind of you look at them lately. But I

946
00:53:18,520 --> 00:53:21,680
Speaker 1: think I think the Saints are the overwhelming favorite because

947
00:53:21,680 --> 00:53:23,600
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to go to the Superdome and beat them.

948
00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:27,960
Speaker 1: I don't think you have that in the AFC because

949
00:53:27,960 --> 00:53:31,440
Speaker 1: certainly if the Titans have to go to Kansas City,

950
00:53:31,080 --> 00:53:34,560
Speaker 1: they will know it's a dawning challenge. But they've beaten

951
00:53:34,640 --> 00:53:38,240
Speaker 1: them there the last two years. So Jesse, you gotta

952
00:53:38,320 --> 00:53:40,960
Speaker 1: get in a tournament. Gotta get in, and you gotta

953
00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:43,839
Speaker 1: win games like this on Saturday, and you gotta win

954
00:53:43,920 --> 00:53:47,360
Speaker 1: the following week. And if that happens, this team I

955
00:53:47,400 --> 00:53:49,439
Speaker 1: can't won't be able to think of a team that's

956
00:53:49,480 --> 00:53:52,279
Speaker 1: gone into the postseason the Titans team, at least with

957
00:53:52,360 --> 00:53:54,960
Speaker 1: so much momentum, five wins in a row and kind

958
00:53:55,000 --> 00:53:57,359
Speaker 1: of feeling good about itself. All right, So we need

959
00:53:57,400 --> 00:53:59,600
Speaker 1: to do one more thing. And this is really cool.

960
00:53:59,640 --> 00:54:03,239
Speaker 1: We get to announce something really neat this morning that

961
00:54:03,600 --> 00:54:07,080
Speaker 1: this organization has gotten involved with. And this involves everybody.

962
00:54:07,120 --> 00:54:10,680
Speaker 1: This is not just football. We are announcing a campaign

963
00:54:11,400 --> 00:54:17,600
