1 00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:13,960 Speaker 1: This is the OTP four D presented by Farm Bureau 2 00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:16,640 Speaker 1: Health Plans. Healthcare coverage from Farm Bureau Health Plans is 3 00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:18,720 Speaker 1: like an extra set of pads when you need them 4 00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:22,240 Speaker 1: the most. They've been protecting Tennessee and since nineteen forty 5 00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:25,439 Speaker 1: seven with Amy Wells and Rhett Brian. I'm Mike Keith 6 00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:28,960 Speaker 1: glad to have you with us. Following the epic trip 7 00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:32,280 Speaker 1: to Jacksonville the thirty seven to nineteen Titans went only 8 00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:36,640 Speaker 1: part of the story. We got there and we got back. 9 00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:40,720 Speaker 1: It's the real key and lived to tell about it, 10 00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:44,360 Speaker 1: lived to tell about it. The airline problems of the 11 00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:48,760 Speaker 1: weekend making a trip to Jacksonville, which is normally I 12 00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 1: would argue the easiest trip of the year into planes, trains, 13 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:59,279 Speaker 1: and automobiles. Yeah, because logistically shorter. There is no other 14 00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:02,880 Speaker 1: trip under than just going to Indianapolis. I mean, yeah, 15 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:04,440 Speaker 1: that's one of the ones you just kind of check 16 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,360 Speaker 1: off the list. Yeah, it's easy. You know exactly where 17 00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 1: you're going. I mean we've been there a good jillion times. 18 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:12,520 Speaker 1: You know the stadium, you know everything. Well, it's not 19 00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 1: a big town. It's not a big town. It's easy 20 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:16,760 Speaker 1: to get up, it's easy to get back. It's an 21 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:19,360 Speaker 1: hour long flight. You see Jacksonville and it's like going 22 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 1: down the road. That's an easy one. Not this time, 23 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 1: boys and girls, not this time. We're almost Florida residents, 24 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:28,920 Speaker 1: all of us, all of us. Yeah, but we're home, ye, 25 00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:31,800 Speaker 1: and we're back. And the Titans are three and two 26 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 1: and two and oh in the AFC South, in the 27 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:38,039 Speaker 1: AFC South, which is huge, and time for the OTP 28 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:42,240 Speaker 1: four D, which means four downs. Amy Wells, you're going first. 29 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 1: Your play that turned the game in the Titans eighteen 30 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 1: point when in Jaytown. You know it's got to be 31 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 1: that gold line stand. I mean, not only did it 32 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 1: keep the Jags from bringing the score even closer, making 33 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:56,920 Speaker 1: it thirty one to twenty six, that wouldn't have been great, 34 00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 1: but go lead the momentum ship in that moment, seeing 35 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 1: so many different guys on the defense get involved in 36 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 1: that whole stand, all four downs. You saw different guys 37 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,240 Speaker 1: making an impact in tier. Tart even said after the 38 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,079 Speaker 1: game that was a huge moment for us. You could 39 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 1: feel that energy come back to the sidelines, and that's 40 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:18,919 Speaker 1: really what they wanted to do. They wanted to help 41 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 1: the whole team build that momentum. I mean, you just saw, 42 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 1: you saw so much consistency, You saw what you want 43 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 1: to see out of a defense, and that was It 44 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:30,680 Speaker 1: was a magical moment. I love a good goal line 45 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,240 Speaker 1: stand anyway. Who doesn't love a good goal line stand? 46 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 1: For me? Eleven h seven left in the third quarter, 47 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:41,360 Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill has hit. As he is throwing the ball, 48 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 1: ruled in complete pass, waiting, waiting, waiting, urban Meyer throws 49 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,799 Speaker 1: a challenge flag. To your point, you said, the only 50 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 1: thing coach Mackie can really challenge is whether it's an 51 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:57,079 Speaker 1: empty hand or not. So he throws the challenge flag again. 52 00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 1: It's confirmed incomplete pass. Right there. He's down to two 53 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 1: timeouts and only one challenge with eleven h seven left 54 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 1: in the third quarter. So the bulk of the second half, 55 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,640 Speaker 1: you're running light right there. I think that is one 56 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:12,920 Speaker 1: of the places where it turned on a dime. The 57 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 1: Kevin Byard fumble return for a touchdown sixty seconds into 58 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:21,040 Speaker 1: the game is to me, the most important play because 59 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 1: it gave the Titans a lead early. Something good happened 60 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,520 Speaker 1: for the Titans early, which they needed after a long week. 61 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 1: And the other part two is for the defense. A 62 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 1: takeaway and a score was a big lift. So that 63 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 1: goes without say I'm going to go in a different 64 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 1: direction just because i want to bring it up. And 65 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 1: that is urban Meyer's decision with two twenty seven left 66 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 1: in the first half, trailing twenty one to thirteen, to 67 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 1: try a fifty three yard field goal with Matthew Wright. 68 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 1: He doesn't really know this kicker Josh Lambo. His regular 69 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 1: guy is having problems, so he was inactive. This is 70 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 1: a young guy. You try the three yard or you 71 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 1: hit the middle of the crossbar short. No good. Titans 72 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 1: get the ball at the forty three yard line. They're 73 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 1: able to consume the rest of the half and they 74 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 1: go down and get three points of their own. I 75 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 1: think if urban Meyer punts the Titans deep, and he's 76 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 1: got a great punter in Logan Cook, then the Titans 77 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,279 Speaker 1: probably run three plays. You got a chance to get 78 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,840 Speaker 1: the ball back at midfield with a minute to go, 79 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:33,239 Speaker 1: potentially and get another crack at it. Instead, you lose 80 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 1: three points to the Titans. So you're down eleven at 81 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 1: the half. You lose momentum going into the locker room. 82 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 1: The Titans have momentum. They come out to score at 83 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 1: the start of the third quarter, if it's still twenty 84 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 1: one to thirteen, or if you've gotten the ball back 85 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:52,159 Speaker 1: and it's twenty one sixteen, then you feel really good 86 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 1: about yourself and the start of the second half is different. 87 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 1: I thought it was a mistake on urban Meyer's part 88 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:02,560 Speaker 1: to not punt the football or go for it. If 89 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 1: you go for it and you don't make it, then 90 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,159 Speaker 1: the Titans are at the thirty five instead of the 91 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:11,159 Speaker 1: forty three. That's eight yards difference. I think punning, if 92 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 1: you're in that situation is probably the best option, because 93 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 1: with the NFL, it's about keep playing the game, don't 94 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,320 Speaker 1: ever get ahead of your skis and make a move 95 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,279 Speaker 1: that you don't necessarily have to make. When you're in 96 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,359 Speaker 1: a game like that with a team the team urban 97 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:33,159 Speaker 1: Meyer has right now, a year from now, two years 98 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,520 Speaker 1: from now, maybe it's different. But I thought the grown 99 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:40,159 Speaker 1: up football team was able to take the advantage right 100 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 1: there because the young football team opened the door for 101 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,919 Speaker 1: the Titans, And in the end, I thought the level 102 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:51,719 Speaker 1: of execution at those points the Titans age and experience 103 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,839 Speaker 1: showed more than the Jaguars, and I don't think Meyer 104 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:59,599 Speaker 1: helped him with that decision. At that moment thoughts, No, 105 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 1: I would agree with all three of our places of 106 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 1: opinion about where you know, the Titans turned the corner 107 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,160 Speaker 1: in this thing. But that was a huge one there, 108 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 1: absolutely there was. Look, urban Meyer showed he has not 109 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 1: coached at this level in two or three opportunities yesterday, 110 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,440 Speaker 1: and we've outlined two of them. All right, let's take 111 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:26,040 Speaker 1: a look at second down. Your stat that tells the story, 112 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:30,679 Speaker 1: Rhett Bryan, Derek Henry eighteen carries for ninety nine yards 113 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:34,560 Speaker 1: and two touchdowns in the second half, eleven for thirty 114 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,599 Speaker 1: one on a score in the first and they fed him, 115 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 1: especially on that drive. It was a seven carries for 116 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:45,040 Speaker 1: how many yards forty two forty two yards, but eighteen 117 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,160 Speaker 1: for ninety nine to two scores in the second half 118 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 1: twenty two. Train just gets rolling and you could just 119 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,479 Speaker 1: see it, I mean, just dragging dudes and busting through 120 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 1: holes and next thing and oh he's got one hundred 121 00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,279 Speaker 1: and thirty on the ground and three scores. That's the 122 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:02,559 Speaker 1: one for me. I think it's turnovers and it's because 123 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 1: it illustrates a bigger picture. They were able to get 124 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:09,040 Speaker 1: the fumble recovery and an interception thanks Kevin Byard, and 125 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 1: I think this illustrates what the Titans were able to 126 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 1: do all day, which was make big plays without surrendering 127 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 1: big plays. Was everything perfect, absolutely not. Are there some 128 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 1: plays that the Titans would like to have back shore, 129 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 1: but they were able to turn that corner of making 130 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 1: big plays and doing things to generate some positive momentum 131 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 1: without surrendering some big plays to give the other team life, 132 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 1: which is a big thing. It was a point of 133 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 1: emphasis last week, and the Titans really showed up on Sunday. 134 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 1: Jacksonville finished with four hundred and fifty four yards of 135 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 1: total offense. Sixty nine of that was garbage in the 136 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 1: final one fifty four. So take out the sixty nine 137 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,239 Speaker 1: yards at the end, and I don't think you're worried 138 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 1: about the past defense. The Titans run defense was not fabulous. 139 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 1: They gave up one hundred ninety eight yards rushing on 140 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:02,720 Speaker 1: thirty one care that's way too much. That's six four 141 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 1: a carry. So with that being the case, the stat 142 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,679 Speaker 1: that tells the story for me was Jacksonville was three 143 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 1: of ten on third downs and one of three on 144 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 1: fourth downs, so in essence, they were four of thirteen 145 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 1: on conversions If the Titans don't have that number three 146 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 1: of ten on third downs, one of three on fourth downs, 147 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 1: meaning four of thirteen on conversion plays, they lose this 148 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 1: ball game because of the rushing numbers. On the other side, 149 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:37,000 Speaker 1: that's a much better job by the Titans defense getting 150 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 1: off the field on third down, something they have done 151 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:44,439 Speaker 1: well for the majority of this season. If that continues 152 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:48,239 Speaker 1: to be a trend, that will help them win games defensively, 153 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:52,560 Speaker 1: because for all of Jacksonville's numbers, they scored only nineteen 154 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:56,200 Speaker 1: points and the reason they did is they couldn't convert 155 00:08:56,280 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 1: in those situations. All right, third down? What area must 156 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:06,000 Speaker 1: the Titans get fixed? Amy Wells, my key? That's run defense. 157 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 1: I mean you said it earlier. They were allowed one 158 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 1: hundred and ninety eight total rushing yards. James Robinson alone 159 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:16,080 Speaker 1: had one hundred and forty nine, including a fifty eight 160 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 1: yard just sprint down the field. He's averaged eight point 161 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 1: three yards per carry. That's too many yards per carry 162 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,720 Speaker 1: for me, and I think for anybody. I think that's 163 00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:28,920 Speaker 1: going to be something that's so important for this Titans 164 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:32,959 Speaker 1: team going forward facing other teams with really strong running game. 165 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 1: That's a good point take out the fifty eight yard run, 166 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:39,959 Speaker 1: thirty carries for one forty that's still four seven a 167 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 1: pop so much. What that tells you is that wasn't 168 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:46,559 Speaker 1: just one run. They ran effectively all day. Amy. That's 169 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 1: a great point, right for me. I'm kind of playing 170 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 1: off of Amy's vibe there with the run game, but 171 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 1: it's giving up explosive plays. We talked about it last week, 172 00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,440 Speaker 1: We talked about it Sunday, going in through all this stuff, 173 00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,959 Speaker 1: and they still had four explosive two of them fifty 174 00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 1: eight yarders like the one you mentioned James Robinson, a 175 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:05,360 Speaker 1: fifty eight yard run, a fifty eight yard pass to 176 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,360 Speaker 1: Leviska Chenault. Well, it should have been a ten yard game, 177 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:12,040 Speaker 1: fifteen yard game, right, But you live to tell about 178 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:16,080 Speaker 1: it because none of those immediately had scores attached to them, 179 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:19,440 Speaker 1: although they one of them resulted in a score in 180 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 1: this thing. But to your point, Amy, you're going against 181 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's offense, Kansas City Chiefs offense six days apart. 182 00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,320 Speaker 1: Explosive plays with the names that I have in my 183 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:35,880 Speaker 1: head of Dawson Knox and Stefan Diggs and Tyreek Hill 184 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:39,960 Speaker 1: and all those guys throughout that thing really have to 185 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 1: tighten that down some more in this thing. They got 186 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,120 Speaker 1: better at it, I thought on Sunday, but they have 187 00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 1: got to clamp down on it more. With two high 188 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,200 Speaker 1: powered AFC teams back to back, coming on, tighten up 189 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 1: if you will tighten up? Indeed, Amy Wells, Okay, so 190 00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:00,040 Speaker 1: you've taken both of mine. Thanks a lot. Wow. I 191 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,400 Speaker 1: have nothing. So I'm gonna go I have nothing. I've 192 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,400 Speaker 1: got nothing. I'm gonna go to another area that I 193 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 1: actually did have circle to be totally serious, and that's 194 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:13,080 Speaker 1: the punting game. Johnny Townsend has not done the things 195 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 1: in the punting game the Titans need done on a 196 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:19,720 Speaker 1: regular basis. You need timely punting, but you need great 197 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 1: situational punting too. Don't need to be kicking the ball 198 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:25,520 Speaker 1: into the end zone. You got them down one time 199 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:29,000 Speaker 1: at the eighteen yard line on a fair catch. That 200 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 1: needs to really be inside the ten. If you're doing 201 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:36,640 Speaker 1: what you're doing well. If the Titans defense is doing 202 00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,920 Speaker 1: its thing and that's not allowing the explosive place, what 203 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:43,360 Speaker 1: they've shown is it's hard to drive the ball on 204 00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:45,840 Speaker 1: this defense. If they're not giving up the big place, 205 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,440 Speaker 1: driving the ball against this defense is hard. An extra 206 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:54,040 Speaker 1: ten fifteen yards in terms of a good punt puts 207 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,319 Speaker 1: you in a position that you make it even harder. 208 00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:58,960 Speaker 1: It's a little thing. It's not as big as yours. 209 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 1: It's not as impressive as yours. You both took mine. 210 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,680 Speaker 1: So I'm going with the punning game. And I don't 211 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:09,200 Speaker 1: want to seem bitter at all, but I probably do. Well, 212 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:12,280 Speaker 1: it's the whole travel thing. I'm a little Jacksonville took 213 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:13,960 Speaker 1: a lot out of mine, as it did the rest 214 00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,400 Speaker 1: of it took a lot out of But in all seriousness, 215 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:19,160 Speaker 1: Titans got a punt it better, something we have grown 216 00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:22,960 Speaker 1: accustomed to and quite frankly take for granted. Where the 217 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:24,760 Speaker 1: Titans have got to be better. Now, I'll say one 218 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,680 Speaker 1: thing to follow up what you're talking about. I thought 219 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,960 Speaker 1: the Titans kick coverage units did a nice job against 220 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:34,480 Speaker 1: Jacksonville because we warned everyone about Jamal Agnew and the 221 00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:37,839 Speaker 1: wheels that that guy's got, and it's evidenced by the 222 00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,480 Speaker 1: kick coverage. Because I think the furthest down the field 223 00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 1: their best starting position out of all their positions, with 224 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:44,880 Speaker 1: I think their own thirty three yard line, Joe Jones 225 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:48,959 Speaker 1: three tackles on special teams. You think there's a chance 226 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 1: that he's available for action on Monday Night football again. 227 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:56,760 Speaker 1: I would almost bet my life on it. Yep, I 228 00:12:56,760 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 1: wouldn't go that far, but yes, extreme again, Jacksonville took 229 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 1: something out of me that's exactly right, all right, fourth 230 00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:07,720 Speaker 1: down one thing that you noticed and wanted to share 231 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:10,440 Speaker 1: with the group. Rhett Brian, you get to go first. 232 00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:14,280 Speaker 1: I think it's that Jacksonville. I've always taking the scenes 233 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:18,520 Speaker 1: in the setting in this thing. Jacksonville's fans wan't so 234 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:22,120 Speaker 1: bad to win, and not just beat the Titans, but 235 00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:25,560 Speaker 1: just to be prominent again. You know, three years ago, 236 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:29,079 Speaker 1: whatever it was, they made it almost the AFC Championship game, 237 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:32,920 Speaker 1: and that whole roster's turned over, basically. But to hear 238 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,320 Speaker 1: people as you pass by, as you're coming into or 239 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,120 Speaker 1: leaving the stadium, even the people who worked there, it's 240 00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:41,160 Speaker 1: like maybe one day I had the telecom guy who 241 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:44,160 Speaker 1: takes care of telecommunications there. He rode the elevator down 242 00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:47,000 Speaker 1: with me at one point during the after the game goes. 243 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,360 Speaker 1: I've been around since two thousand and four, and he said, 244 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,640 Speaker 1: you know, maybe one of these days they know that 245 00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:57,520 Speaker 1: they have a valuable franchise. Once every twenty years down 246 00:13:57,559 --> 00:13:59,800 Speaker 1: the pike kind of quarterback, and they want to make 247 00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:02,920 Speaker 1: sure that he's upright healthy, and they continue to put 248 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:04,840 Speaker 1: weapons around them. They know they've got something there. They're 249 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 1: just they're anxious. They want to It's like where the 250 00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:10,120 Speaker 1: Titans have come from from twenty fourteen and twenty fifteen 251 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:14,640 Speaker 1: to multiple appearances in the playoffs, five straight winning seasons. 252 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:16,760 Speaker 1: I mean, we know what it's like to be on 253 00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:18,680 Speaker 1: that side of things, and it's like, gosh, the grass 254 00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,800 Speaker 1: shore is greener, it is, man, the Jags want to 255 00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:26,560 Speaker 1: be us so bad. Sorry, sorry, guys, Sorry, but not sorry. 256 00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,760 Speaker 1: I won't give it up. Mine is Kevin Byard. I 257 00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 1: made the fatal flaw of correcting Jim Wyatt, or attempting 258 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,280 Speaker 1: to correct Jim Watt. You never do that. Don't never 259 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:39,160 Speaker 1: do don't do that. You don't correct Mike Keith. You 260 00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:43,800 Speaker 1: don't correct Jim Wyatt. They know right exactly. So I 261 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:47,680 Speaker 1: was sitting with Jim reading his articles while I was 262 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:50,800 Speaker 1: next to him, which I'm sure he appreciates, and I 263 00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,680 Speaker 1: looked at him at one point and I said, Kevin 264 00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:58,760 Speaker 1: Byared got his first NFL touchdown against Jacksonville. I said, 265 00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,800 Speaker 1: that can't be right. Even Byers had a touchdown before, 266 00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:05,080 Speaker 1: and he was like, no, no, he hasn't. I was 267 00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 1: so impressed by Kevin Byrd the way he played, and 268 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,000 Speaker 1: I'm so happy that he was finally able to have 269 00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:14,080 Speaker 1: success and get those big, those big moments, those big plays, 270 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:19,080 Speaker 1: because Kevin Byard has been grinding these last couple seasons 271 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:21,920 Speaker 1: and he's kind of been getting a bad rap for it, 272 00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:25,840 Speaker 1: and he's not getting those big explosive plays that we, 273 00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:28,720 Speaker 1: I guess have expected to see out of him. I 274 00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:31,320 Speaker 1: was floored that he hadn't had a touchdown before. I 275 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:33,760 Speaker 1: thought for sure he had. It was so great to 276 00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:37,600 Speaker 1: see Kevin Byard doing Kevin Byrd things and getting the 277 00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:39,480 Speaker 1: success that we all expect from him. He has a 278 00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 1: touchdown pass, that's right, yeah, but that's not he had 279 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:46,640 Speaker 1: never been in the end zone with the ball. My 280 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:49,360 Speaker 1: mind was blown. I made Jim Wyatt correct his work 281 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:52,280 Speaker 1: and I should not have done it. It was an 282 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:55,680 Speaker 1: outstanding return on his part, not an easy run. It's 283 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:59,160 Speaker 1: really what the Titans needed Christian Fulton to do last week. 284 00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,440 Speaker 1: When you when you get a ball on the other 285 00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:05,280 Speaker 1: side of the fifty, on the other team's half of 286 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,040 Speaker 1: the field, you got a score. Ye, I mean, you've 287 00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 1: got to score, and those dbs are athletic enough they 288 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:15,800 Speaker 1: can do that. The Titans ended up with three after 289 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:20,200 Speaker 1: the Christian Fulton pick at New York. He's got a 290 00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,440 Speaker 1: score there, and that's what the coaching staff, That's what 291 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:24,480 Speaker 1: Vrabel said when we were watching it on the Mike 292 00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:29,280 Speaker 1: Vrabels Show last week. Bayer did what you needed to do. 293 00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:33,720 Speaker 1: He finished it, and your chances of winning a game 294 00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:39,320 Speaker 1: with a defensive touchdown go up astronomically. But your point 295 00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:42,600 Speaker 1: is well made, Amy because when Kevin Byard starts to 296 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:46,680 Speaker 1: run into football's, good things happen. Even the pick at 297 00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:48,720 Speaker 1: the end of the game, had a pick in the 298 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:53,520 Speaker 1: Arizona game. There are certain dudes, you know, there's certain 299 00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:57,560 Speaker 1: guys Trayvon Diggs right now for Dallas Isla. Yeah, you 300 00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:01,760 Speaker 1: started to run into footballs. That's a good thing. And 301 00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:05,960 Speaker 1: so hopefully Amani Hooker is close to being back. I 302 00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:09,119 Speaker 1: think if we see Bayard and Hooker together for the 303 00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,639 Speaker 1: rest of the season, I think there can be a 304 00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:14,960 Speaker 1: lot of plays made by that duo and that could 305 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,920 Speaker 1: be a big thing. What stood out to me is 306 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:24,639 Speaker 1: I think Jacksonville has the potential to have a good team. 307 00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,360 Speaker 1: That stood out to me because I think Trevor Lawrence 308 00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:31,440 Speaker 1: is the real thing. I'm a big fan of James Robinson. 309 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,000 Speaker 1: They're running back. Can't believe they didn't try to get 310 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:38,080 Speaker 1: the ball to Laviska Chenault more because he's a dangerous player. 311 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,640 Speaker 1: Their offensive line isn't bad. They have several good tight 312 00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,640 Speaker 1: ends on defense. They have a couple of good young 313 00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:49,160 Speaker 1: pass rushers. You started to seek Levan Jason emerging this too, 314 00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:51,600 Speaker 1: which is a problem. He started to come on and 315 00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:55,399 Speaker 1: Josh Allen's a good pass rusher. They've got some guys 316 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:58,080 Speaker 1: in the secondary who I think are gonna be good players. 317 00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:03,879 Speaker 1: They're gonna be a pain. The question becomes how quickly 318 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:07,520 Speaker 1: do they become a pain and what goes on with 319 00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:14,639 Speaker 1: this situation in Jacksonville to either speed up the process 320 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:17,520 Speaker 1: or slow down the process. And I think that's something 321 00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:20,640 Speaker 1: we're going to keep an eye on from a Titans perspective, 322 00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,120 Speaker 1: is what's going to go on in Jacksonville, because when 323 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:27,840 Speaker 1: we see them on December twelfth, there's a chance they're 324 00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:31,639 Speaker 1: a lot better. Here's the thing, in December, we will 325 00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:35,720 Speaker 1: guaranteed see a different Jags team than what we saw 326 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:40,240 Speaker 1: this past weekend. The question is are they one hundred 327 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:43,919 Speaker 1: percent better or one hundred percent worse. They're in a 328 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:47,239 Speaker 1: situation where they're going to hit a crossroads. I think 329 00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:50,840 Speaker 1: you're right. I think they're at the crossroads because of 330 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,320 Speaker 1: the on the field with them being a new team 331 00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:55,600 Speaker 1: and a new staff and having lost twenty in a row, 332 00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:59,679 Speaker 1: and then the other stuff that's going on that I 333 00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:02,359 Speaker 1: think we can see from the outside.
