Speaker 1: Amy Wells and Rhett Brian, I am Mike Keith. The

7
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:34,920
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans defeat the Miami Dolphins on Sunday thirty four

8
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 1: to three. The Dolphins seven game win streak, bye bye,

9
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:43,160
Speaker 1: and the Titans are on their way to the playoffs

10
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 1: as the AFC South champions and maybe more. Aby Wells,

11
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 1: let's start right in with first down. Your play that

12
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 1: turned the game? You know, I think it was the

13
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 1: Jason Sanders missed fifty three yard field goal at the

14
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 1: end of the Dolphins first drive of the second half.

15
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:04,479
Speaker 1: It hit the crossbar. The score remains seventeen to three

16
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 1: in favor of the Titans, and at that moment you

17
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 1: could really feel the energy come out of the Dolphins sideline.

18
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:16,279
Speaker 1: And also in a two score game where the weather

19
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 1: is continuing to be an issue, they needed to just

20
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,759
Speaker 1: put some points on the board and do something even

21
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 1: if it's only three points. It just felt in that

22
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:31,680
Speaker 1: moment like the tide had completely shifted towards the Tennessee Titans.

23
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: Mine was a little bit earlier. Mine was one thirteen

24
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,959
Speaker 1: left in the first quarter. Miami has its second and

25
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,679
Speaker 1: ten on their own twenty six yard line. It's their

26
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 1: first RPO two of fumbles. Elijah Molden recovers at the

27
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 1: fourteen of Miami. It leads only to a Bullock twenty

28
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 1: three yard field goal, but at that point they're down

29
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 1: double digits, ten nothing, and I felt like, right there,

30
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 1: if they just keep pouring on the gas, they'll never

31
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 1: look back. For me, it was two fourth down decisions

32
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: by Mike Vrabel, the one in the first quarter where

33
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 1: he chose to go Ryan Tannehill sneaks for the first down,

34
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: the Titans go in and score a touchdown, and then

35
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: after the fumble that you're talking about, they complete the

36
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 1: pass to Firkser he's tackled the full yard short. Vrabel

37
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 1: never hesitates since the field goal unit out says what

38
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 1: you were just saying, let's get the two score lead.

39
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 1: Both fourth down decisions, in the moments that they occurred,

40
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: felt one hundred percent correct. Never thought he should go

41
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,679
Speaker 1: for the second one after he made the first one,

42
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 1: felt like, hey, take the points, let's get it done,

43
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,919
Speaker 1: let's continue playing the game with a two score lead.

44
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 1: I thought Vrabel was very on with those on Sunday

45
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 1: and both worked out to his advantage. Second down, your

46
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: stat that tells the story. I think it's the fact

47
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: that the Titans had one hundred and ninety eight rushing

48
00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: yards versus the dolphins seventy four total rushing yard. I

49
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,399
Speaker 1: think that Dante Foreman having one hundred and thirty two

50
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: rushing yards in one game, which is his third I

51
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,640
Speaker 1: believe one hundred yard rushing game this season. Is that correct?

52
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,519
Speaker 1: That is correct? All right? Yeah, I think that's very impressive.

53
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 1: And I think that in a game where the Titans

54
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: just needed to take control of it, that was a

55
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 1: great way to do it. They were able to sustain drives,

56
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 1: they were able to gain yards, and they were able

57
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 1: to put points on the board. And on the flip

58
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,640
Speaker 1: side of that, the defense was able to really make

59
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: the Dolphins one dimensional and one dimensional in a way

60
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 1: that they didn't want to be when they were playing

61
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 1: in a game that's real slippery and it's cold, and

62
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: that football is just hard to deal with in certain

63
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: elements that the Dolphins frankly aren't used to playing in.

64
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 1: It was interesting. I turned to Rip Brian during the

65
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 1: broadcast yesterday and I said to him, please go back

66
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: and check to a tongue of Iloa's Combine measurements to

67
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 1: check his hand size. I could not remember, because when

68
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: a quarterback has small hands, they always make a big

69
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 1: deal out of it, particularly if there's a thought he

70
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: might go to a team playing in in clement weather. Well,

71
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: it turns out his hands are not small at all.

72
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: Rhet No, they're not. In fact, when I looked it up,

73
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: I remember the height was the big deal that year

74
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: we were at Combine and he measured at a six

75
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,679
Speaker 1: one legit. But his left hand is ten inches, which

76
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,159
Speaker 1: that's his throwing hand. His right hands nine and three quarters,

77
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 1: which I thought was interesting. But he's a left handed

78
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 1: quarterback ten inches. You know, everything else he does in

79
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:34,039
Speaker 1: life right handed, though, very interesting, really very strange. Who

80
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: are like that? Jack Nicholas is left handed but swings

81
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 1: a golf club right handed, which some people think gives

82
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 1: him more pull that way, gives him a little more

83
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 1: strength in the golf swing. If I'm not mistaken, Phil

84
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 1: Mickelson is right handed except for the golf swing. Interesting. Wow,

85
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: it's just a comfort thing. Welcome to the OTP for

86
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 1: things that you didn't want to know. Back to sec

87
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 1: it down and rhet Brian, your stat that tells the story,

88
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 1: and it involves the man with ten inch left hand,

89
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 1: the quarterback to a tongue of Aaloah who led the

90
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 1: NFL and completion percentage going into this game at just

91
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 1: to tick over seventy percent. Now, the truth about that

92
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,359
Speaker 1: is it was a lot of short not even really

93
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,839
Speaker 1: intermediate passing level. It was a lot of dncin dunk stuff.

94
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 1: He had forty seven point four percent of his passes

95
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 1: completed yesterday against the Tennessee Titans, his lowest in any

96
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,479
Speaker 1: game of twenty twenty one. And that was the key

97
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 1: teaching point for the Titans. Get to a tongue of

98
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: valoa in longer yardage situations, make him stand in the

99
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 1: pocket and see if he can deliver the football accurately,

100
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 1: which he did not. And one wonders are the Miami

101
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,840
Speaker 1: Dolphins going to be in the market for another quarterback

102
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:49,599
Speaker 1: in this offseason based at least some on seeing a

103
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 1: team at the upper level of the AFC handle them

104
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 1: yesterday in a situation where he could not make those

105
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,600
Speaker 1: plays down the field. Or do they just simply say

106
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 1: bad day weatherwise, bad day for us, bad day for Tuah.

107
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:07,919
Speaker 1: It's an interesting thought because there have been so many

108
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 1: uncertainties I guess is the right word around Tuah and

109
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,600
Speaker 1: his place within the Dolphins. I think if Ryan Fitzpatrick

110
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,279
Speaker 1: doesn't get hurt early this season, things are a little

111
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,799
Speaker 1: bit different as well. I mean, there's so many things

112
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 1: that contributed to what these seasons were going to look like.

113
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 1: It's an interesting thought. Ryan Fitzpatrick, though, turns into Ryan

114
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,159
Speaker 1: Pispatrick at some point, so I have a feeling that

115
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 1: would have been the case, as he has done in

116
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 1: many many of his stops. However, I think they will

117
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,719
Speaker 1: be looking for another quarterback in this thing because a

118
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,159
Speaker 1: point to one thing. When I think about yesterday's game,

119
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,040
Speaker 1: Jalen Waddle was the guy. You had to be careful

120
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:49,040
Speaker 1: with him and Mike Gisecki right. Jalen Waddle's second reception

121
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,919
Speaker 1: came twelve fifty four left in the fourth quarter, on

122
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 1: the forty seven yard ex play that the Titans defense

123
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:57,720
Speaker 1: gave up, they got it over their head. That's it.

124
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,719
Speaker 1: At that point, he was one catch for minus one bingo.

125
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 1: He was not a factor in the ballgame whatsoever. All Right,

126
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: third down your area that the Titans have to get fixed. Amy,

127
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 1: I bet you had to dig for this after yesterday's game.

128
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 1: I did. But what I'm going with is something we've

129
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 1: talked about time and time and time again. So you

130
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 1: know I didn't dig that hard. I guess I'm saying penalties.

131
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 1: Six penalties for seventy yards and some penalties that negated

132
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 1: some big plays for the Titans. Offensively, you can't lose momentum,

133
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 1: and that's what it felt like with some of those penalties.

134
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 1: And we can talk all day about whether they were

135
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 1: or were not justified and some of the things that

136
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 1: happened throughout that game, but the overall factor is momentum,

137
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 1: and those penalties, no matter what, they stunt your momentum.

138
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 1: I had the same thing. Penalties is what I've harped

139
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 1: on for the last two or three OTP four d's,

140
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 1: But there are some places where they can stifle what

141
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 1: you're doing. And I'll say it, the officiating yesterday was

142
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 1: questionable in a couple spots. Yeah, I wasn't going to say,

143
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 1: here's the word uneven. Yeah, that sounds uneven. That's it.

144
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 1: You've got to think of words that sounds non critical.

145
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 1: Uneven is non critical sounding, buzz aren't the words we

146
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 1: can do that. But seem like if you're talking about

147
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 1: your children's behavior, it was uneven me. I've been there. Yeah,

148
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: well that's when that becomes you know what your son

149
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 1: or your daughter did, That's fine, that's he that's how

150
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 1: that line goes. That's correct. But whether there's something great

151
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 1: my daughter did. Yeah, Amy to your point, though, regardless

152
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 1: of how the game's officiated, they're still on the stat sheet.

153
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:43,319
Speaker 1: They still were in places where you didn't need them happen.

154
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 1: So you're right, momentum changes and cleaning those things up

155
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 1: one correct. I would give one hundred bucks to be

156
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 1: on the call when the league officials privately discussed the

157
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:59,199
Speaker 1: Chester Rogers block on Andrew Van Ginkle. Oh. I would

158
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 1: give more than I would like to be in on

159
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 1: that call, because here's what I'm wondering. In the spirit

160
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 1: of the rule, that did not look like or feel

161
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 1: like an illegal crackback block. It did not seem like

162
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,959
Speaker 1: he was going backward to get the guy. It seemed

163
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 1: like he took a parallel angle. He threw his back

164
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:24,199
Speaker 1: shoulder into his body so as not to hit him

165
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 1: under the chin. If you're taking it from a technical standpoint,

166
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 1: I will bet a quarter right now that when we

167
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:38,439
Speaker 1: see the twenty twenty two NFL officiating teaching film, that

168
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 1: play won't be on there as your illegal crackback block example. Nope.

169
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 1: And so I'm wondering do they come back and say, hey,

170
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 1: we don't want this if there's a technical version of

171
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 1: it in terms of judgment and quote unquote players safety,

172
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 1: you see that, I don't think you think that's a penalty.

173
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 1: I'm betting the house on your theory. Okay, on one reason.

174
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 1: Guess who's on the twenty twenty two competition committee in

175
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 1: the National Football There you go, and I guarantee you

176
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 1: Mike Vrabel has that right here in the back of

177
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 1: the old mind. I think even before then, I think

178
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,839
Speaker 1: on the call this week, I think the discussion is

179
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 1: going to be, hey, wait a minute, is this something

180
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 1: we want to call? Because in my opinion, this is

181
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:28,439
Speaker 1: where officiating becomes problematic. It's almost like a judge who

182
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:32,839
Speaker 1: takes a law and goes deep, deep, deep into it

183
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 1: to find some meaning that's really not intended. It's the

184
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 1: same way that play and how Rogers went about it,

185
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:45,680
Speaker 1: his angle, how he approached it. It doesn't fit the

186
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 1: sort of the bill of the guy looking somebody up,

187
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 1: turning back and cracking them under the chin or hitting

188
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 1: them low, or all of the things that they're trying

189
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 1: to avoid. Listen, I think it's a good rule. If

190
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 1: you have ever had a crack back block put on

191
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 1: you in your life, then you think it's a good rule.

192
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 1: Trust me, that was not a crackback block. That was

193
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 1: a block. Yeah. I think player safety and taking dirty

194
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:14,200
Speaker 1: hits out of the game is very important, and I

195
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 1: think that's something that we should all be striving for.

196
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 1: I think there's a level of common sense that comes

197
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 1: into that. And even if there's a technicality somewhere where

198
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:26,319
Speaker 1: you can throw the flag, I think that looking at

199
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 1: that and saying did he do something too intentionally harm

200
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:34,840
Speaker 1: this person? Did he cause harm? No, of course he looked.

201
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 1: In the three hundred and eighty five times that I've

202
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 1: seen that play, now, it looks like he was intentionally

203
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 1: doing everything correct, and so to get a flag on

204
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 1: that by someone who's digging deep into a rule. It's frustrated.

205
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 1: A crackback block is not necessarily a dirty play in

206
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 1: its nature. It can be right. But sometimes back in

207
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 1: the day when it was legal, it was a smart play. Yeah,

208
00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 1: you could wipe a guy out on a crackback block

209
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 1: and an able your player to score. That was great.

210
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 1: Sometimes how it was executed was dirty, but in terms

211
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 1: of dirty or not, taking that out of the game

212
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 1: is a good thing. I'm saying, Ritt, that wasn't a

213
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 1: crackback block. The other thing I'm thinking as we're discussing

214
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 1: this is the officiating office is probably and they probably

215
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 1: do this with everything like those kinds of calls, and

216
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 1: in their defense, they have a fraction of a moment

217
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 1: to make that decision. Right, if you have to think

218
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:29,439
Speaker 1: about it, you probably shouldn't pull the hanker. That's it, right,

219
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 1: You have to have the discussion they had. It's not deliberate.

220
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: It's not deliberate, so just keep the hanking in your pot.

221
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:38,560
Speaker 1: You've got to know that Sean Smith or somebody on

222
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 1: his crew was saying to the official who threw the flag, Hey,

223
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,960
Speaker 1: I saw it, and I'm not sure it was that way,

224
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 1: in my opinion, you pick it up at that point, Yeah, hey,

225
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 1: you pick it up, you pick it up. Hey, hey, hey, hey.

226
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 1: Not the greatest moment of twenty twenty two so far.

227
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 1: That was going to be my plate that turned the game.

228
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 1: But I didn't think you guys would fully appreciate me

229
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 1: just totally taking myself out of playing by the rules.

230
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 1: That was going to be my play the game. I

231
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 1: thought it was excellent. Wonder why Sean Smith did that,

232
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 1: I don't know, but it was hiving, entertaining, enjoy me.

233
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever been as thrown off on

234
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 1: Titan Radio as I was at that moment. I couldn't

235
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 1: pull it back together because I so didn't expect the

236
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 1: official Attorney's microphone on and go hey hey, hey hey,

237
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 1: and I mean and then the crowd right back Attie,

238
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 1: you know, like we're at a concert or something or

239
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 1: it's a PEP rally or whatever. It. Yeah. In terms

240
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 1: of this this call with with Chester Rod, yes, come

241
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 1: back today, think long, think wrong, is what I'm saying.

242
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:49,840
Speaker 1: In terms of that moment of time where you've got

243
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 1: to make if you're having to think about it, it

244
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 1: probably is something you should just pick up or not

245
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 1: throw in the first place, and you've got a fraction

246
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 1: to make that decision. Yeah, so we all agree penalties

247
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 1: the area that the Titan yes, need to get fixed, Yes,

248
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 1: and the officials need to learn what intentional grounding is. Yeah,

249
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 1: let's work on that too, guys, while we're working on things. Okay,

250
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 1: fourth down, one thing you noticed and wanted to share

251
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:15,439
Speaker 1: ret Brian gets to go first this time. It was

252
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,560
Speaker 1: when Michael Pruett went out with a horrible injury, and

253
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 1: we know that's going to be a season ender for him,

254
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 1: and I really feel bad for him. As you mentioned

255
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 1: during the broadcast, Mike one of the eleven guys who'd

256
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 1: played in every game so far, which is a huge

257
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 1: feat considering where they've been, and certainly we wish him

258
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 1: all the best as he's in surgery today. I understand it.

259
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 1: But who was the first person to come check on him.

260
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 1: Dolphin's head coach Brian Flores. Now, geographically where the injury happened,

261
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 1: it was closer and easier for him to get to

262
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 1: him than Mike Vrabel. But that explained to me how

263
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 1: Mike Vrabel and John Robinson have a level of respect

264
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 1: for him from their time knowing him in the Patriots

265
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 1: organization and the kind of but I know what kind

266
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 1: of person he is even more now just with that gesture.

267
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 1: It's a scary team for the future because they are young, young,

268
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 1: and they get a quarterback like we've just discussed, and

269
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 1: they've got all kinds of money under the cap. I mean,

270
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 1: they cleared that thing out two years ago. They end

271
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 1: up with tongue of Iloa. But I mean to get

272
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 1: Ekenberg and to get Holland, and to get Jalen Waddle,

273
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 1: and to get all the guys that they got last

274
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 1: year in the draft, and I mean, that's a really,

275
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 1: really good young team that's going to keep coming on.

276
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 1: Everybody's talking about the Patriots. Yeah, they got it right

277
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 1: with mac Jones, but they also went out and got

278
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 1: a bunch of veterans to fill in the spots. This

279
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 1: is a team that's ascending with a coach who knows

280
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 1: what he's doing, and they have their wide receiver in

281
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 1: Jalen Waddle, and the defense is pretty set in a

282
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 1: lot of places in the skill positions in those three tiers.

283
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 1: But they get themselves a running back and a quarterback

284
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 1: and look out, my thing that I would like to

285
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 1: share is this win and this accomplishment of winning the

286
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 1: AFC South was more emotional than I expected it to be. Why.

287
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 1: I thought that doing it for the second year in

288
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 1: a row. You know, when you do it for the

289
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 1: first time, it's this huge accomplishment and you feel like

290
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 1: you have conquered the mountain. You know you've reached it,

291
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 1: reached the top, You've accomplished your goal. This is a

292
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 1: big deal. The second time, it's kind of like maybe

293
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 1: we've done it before. So I thought it would be

294
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 1: exciting and I thought that it would be great for

295
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 1: this team. I didn't expect the level of emotion that

296
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 1: was happening on the sidelines, from the players, from the

297
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 1: coaches for me, and I think a lot of that

298
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 1: comes from how difficult this season was for the Titans.

299
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 1: This season was hard and for a variety of reasons,

300
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 1: but there were so many obstacles and to set a

301
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 1: goal and accomplish your goal and listen, this isn't the

302
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 1: Titans only goal, but it's the first step. And to

303
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 1: do it at home in a game that was just

304
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 1: a commanding win, it felt like all three phases played well.

305
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 1: I mean, it was incredible rhet. I think this felt

306
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 1: more like winning the division than last year did. And

307
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 1: I say that because of how the Titans had to

308
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:23,040
Speaker 1: win it, banking in the field goal, great job, Slowman,

309
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 1: and the fact that we were the only ones there

310
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 1: in essence, so there was no crowd to speak of

311
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 1: at a road versus home. Yeah, and being in Houston,

312
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 1: and it was just such a strange moment. I mean,

313
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 1: it was great that the Titans won the division. Yesterday,

314
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:45,640
Speaker 1: to Amy's point, felt a lot more like winning the division.

315
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 1: I remember when we won the division in two thousand

316
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 1: and eight, we beat Cleveland and you and I raced

317
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:53,959
Speaker 1: two Academy sports to get the hats. Yep, that's what

318
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 1: yesterday felt like. Yesterday felt like that day more than

319
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:01,159
Speaker 1: last year's went against Houston. I agree on all of

320
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:04,240
Speaker 1: those points, and Amy, You're right, you set it up

321
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:07,880
Speaker 1: in a lot of ways. Twenty twenty one has been

322
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 1: harder for the Titans in a COVID era, in a

323
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 1: pandemic era, not just the injuries part. The COVID protocols

324
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,879
Speaker 1: have changed six seven times during the season. They fought

325
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:21,880
Speaker 1: off their own scare before getting into this game and

326
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 1: lived to tell about it. And hopefully we'll have everybody

327
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 1: back ready to go in week eighteen. Here coming up

328
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:30,919
Speaker 1: Sunday noon, Central Kick. You're on Titans Radio. But yeah,

329
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,359
Speaker 1: and you may, you may Taylor a wand cry and

330
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 1: post games you do that. Amy Well, I've knocked him

331
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 1: around pretty good before we started, So no, no, no,

332
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:43,639
Speaker 1: I mean he kind of I think he and I

333
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 1: kind of had the same moment where it was realizing

334
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,640
Speaker 1: the gravity, and he said it in the interview post game.

335
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:52,200
Speaker 1: I wasn't on the field last year. He was watching

336
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 1: it from a suite in the stadium, So it was

337
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 1: very important to him to be able to have that

338
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:02,159
Speaker 1: moment and contribute with these guys. And for me, especially

339
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 1: talking to someone like Taylor Lawe who's been here through

340
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 1: those hard years and gosh, I remember when we drafted him,

341
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,159
Speaker 1: Mike and you doing an interview with him in his

342
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:15,439
Speaker 1: first day. It was the whole interview. I called him

343
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 1: Taylor Lewin by me. Yeah, good job, slowman. It was fine,

344
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:22,160
Speaker 1: but it was one of those things that it felt

345
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 1: very full circle and it was just it was a

346
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 1: big deal. So fourth down for me, the one thing

347
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:29,399
Speaker 1: I noticed and wanted to share is I noticed this

348
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:31,919
Speaker 1: morning that it was Bud adams ninety ninth birthday. He

349
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,440
Speaker 1: would have been ninety nine today. Oh wow, And how

350
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:37,159
Speaker 1: strange would the world look to mister Adams right now

351
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 1: with everything going on. His daughter has said it. You know,

352
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,160
Speaker 1: Aby Adams Shrunk has made the point. We've asked her,

353
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:45,359
Speaker 1: what would your dad think of you being controlling owner?

354
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:48,119
Speaker 1: She said, he would have never thought of it, you know,

355
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:50,200
Speaker 1: it would have never crossed his mind. So to see

356
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 1: her so successful, to see this franchise so successful at

357
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 1: this moment, and best of all, to have it be

358
00:19:56,760 --> 00:20:00,640
Speaker 1: a game at Houston this Sunday, he would relish, relish

359
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 1: this moment. This would be the ultimate ninety ninth birthday

360
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 1: present for Bud Adams. He would be so excited this

361
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:12,360
Speaker 1: entire week, and there would be pressure on everybody associated

362
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 1: with Two Toned Blue to find a way to win

363
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 1: this game. And while there may be a surprise for

364
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,920
Speaker 1: him that Amy Adams Trunk is the controlling owner his daughter,

365
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 1: maybe it's you know, unlikely source, but man, would he

366
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 1: be proud of Oh? I think he'd be thrilled. And

367
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:27,920
Speaker 1: if Kenneth Adams is great and I think he would

368
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 1: just be elated. But always think about him in these

369
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 1: moments and from whence we have come. In the twenty

370
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:38,199
Speaker 1: fifth year of football in the state of Tennessee, the

371
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:40,879
Speaker 1: Titans on the verge of the number one seed in

372
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 1: the AFC if they can beat Houston. The OTP is

373
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 1: always presented by Farm Bureau Health Plans get the home

374
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:49,159
Speaker 1: field advantage with healthcare coverage from Far Bureau Health Plans.

375
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 1: They've been protecting Tennessee in since nineteen forty seven. Braby

380
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:12,560
