WEBVTT - The OTP | Covering Four Downs from Week 5

0:00:10.320 --> 0:00:13.960
<v Speaker 1>This is the OTP four D presented by Farm Bureau

0:00:14.000 --> 0:00:16.640
<v Speaker 1>Health Plans. Healthcare coverage from Farm Bureau Health Plans is

0:00:16.680 --> 0:00:18.720
<v Speaker 1>like an extra set of pads when you need them

0:00:18.720 --> 0:00:22.240
<v Speaker 1>the most. They've been protecting Tennessee and since nineteen forty

0:00:22.280 --> 0:00:25.439
<v Speaker 1>seven with Amy Wells and Rhett Brian. I'm Mike Keith

0:00:25.520 --> 0:00:28.960
<v Speaker 1>glad to have you with us. Following the epic trip

0:00:29.040 --> 0:00:32.280
<v Speaker 1>to Jacksonville the thirty seven to nineteen Titans went only

0:00:32.720 --> 0:00:36.640
<v Speaker 1>part of the story. We got there and we got back.

0:00:38.320 --> 0:00:40.720
<v Speaker 1>It's the real key and lived to tell about it,

0:00:40.840 --> 0:00:44.360
<v Speaker 1>lived to tell about it. The airline problems of the

0:00:44.400 --> 0:00:48.760
<v Speaker 1>weekend making a trip to Jacksonville, which is normally I

0:00:48.800 --> 0:00:54.680
<v Speaker 1>would argue the easiest trip of the year into planes, trains,

0:00:54.720 --> 0:00:59.279
<v Speaker 1>and automobiles. Yeah, because logistically shorter. There is no other

0:00:59.320 --> 0:01:02.880
<v Speaker 1>trip under than just going to Indianapolis. I mean, yeah,

0:01:02.920 --> 0:01:04.440
<v Speaker 1>that's one of the ones you just kind of check

0:01:04.480 --> 0:01:07.360
<v Speaker 1>off the list. Yeah, it's easy. You know exactly where

0:01:07.400 --> 0:01:10.360
<v Speaker 1>you're going. I mean we've been there a good jillion times.

0:01:10.440 --> 0:01:12.520
<v Speaker 1>You know the stadium, you know everything. Well, it's not

0:01:12.600 --> 0:01:15.000
<v Speaker 1>a big town. It's not a big town. It's easy

0:01:15.040 --> 0:01:16.760
<v Speaker 1>to get up, it's easy to get back. It's an

0:01:16.760 --> 0:01:19.360
<v Speaker 1>hour long flight. You see Jacksonville and it's like going

0:01:19.400 --> 0:01:22.640
<v Speaker 1>down the road. That's an easy one. Not this time,

0:01:22.680 --> 0:01:26.840
<v Speaker 1>boys and girls, not this time. We're almost Florida residents,

0:01:26.840 --> 0:01:28.920
<v Speaker 1>all of us, all of us. Yeah, but we're home, ye,

0:01:29.080 --> 0:01:31.800
<v Speaker 1>and we're back. And the Titans are three and two

0:01:32.160 --> 0:01:34.800
<v Speaker 1>and two and oh in the AFC South, in the

0:01:34.800 --> 0:01:38.039
<v Speaker 1>AFC South, which is huge, and time for the OTP

0:01:38.280 --> 0:01:42.240
<v Speaker 1>four D, which means four downs. Amy Wells, you're going first.

0:01:43.080 --> 0:01:46.240
<v Speaker 1>Your play that turned the game in the Titans eighteen

0:01:46.319 --> 0:01:48.720
<v Speaker 1>point when in Jaytown. You know it's got to be

0:01:48.800 --> 0:01:51.240
<v Speaker 1>that gold line stand. I mean, not only did it

0:01:51.360 --> 0:01:54.480
<v Speaker 1>keep the Jags from bringing the score even closer, making

0:01:54.480 --> 0:01:56.920
<v Speaker 1>it thirty one to twenty six, that wouldn't have been great,

0:01:57.800 --> 0:02:01.720
<v Speaker 1>but go lead the momentum ship in that moment, seeing

0:02:01.840 --> 0:02:04.840
<v Speaker 1>so many different guys on the defense get involved in

0:02:04.880 --> 0:02:08.680
<v Speaker 1>that whole stand, all four downs. You saw different guys

0:02:08.680 --> 0:02:11.240
<v Speaker 1>making an impact in tier. Tart even said after the

0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:14.079
<v Speaker 1>game that was a huge moment for us. You could

0:02:14.160 --> 0:02:17.200
<v Speaker 1>feel that energy come back to the sidelines, and that's

0:02:17.200 --> 0:02:18.919
<v Speaker 1>really what they wanted to do. They wanted to help

0:02:18.919 --> 0:02:22.160
<v Speaker 1>the whole team build that momentum. I mean, you just saw,

0:02:22.240 --> 0:02:25.560
<v Speaker 1>you saw so much consistency, You saw what you want

0:02:25.560 --> 0:02:28.720
<v Speaker 1>to see out of a defense, and that was It

0:02:28.760 --> 0:02:30.680
<v Speaker 1>was a magical moment. I love a good goal line

0:02:30.720 --> 0:02:33.240
<v Speaker 1>stand anyway. Who doesn't love a good goal line stand?

0:02:33.280 --> 0:02:36.600
<v Speaker 1>For me? Eleven h seven left in the third quarter,

0:02:37.520 --> 0:02:41.360
<v Speaker 1>Ryan Tannehill has hit. As he is throwing the ball,

0:02:42.360 --> 0:02:47.560
<v Speaker 1>ruled in complete pass, waiting, waiting, waiting, urban Meyer throws

0:02:47.600 --> 0:02:50.799
<v Speaker 1>a challenge flag. To your point, you said, the only

0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:53.160
<v Speaker 1>thing coach Mackie can really challenge is whether it's an

0:02:53.160 --> 0:02:57.079
<v Speaker 1>empty hand or not. So he throws the challenge flag again.

0:02:57.360 --> 0:03:00.760
<v Speaker 1>It's confirmed incomplete pass. Right there. He's down to two

0:03:00.800 --> 0:03:04.480
<v Speaker 1>timeouts and only one challenge with eleven h seven left

0:03:04.520 --> 0:03:07.600
<v Speaker 1>in the third quarter. So the bulk of the second half,

0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:10.640
<v Speaker 1>you're running light right there. I think that is one

0:03:10.639 --> 0:03:12.920
<v Speaker 1>of the places where it turned on a dime. The

0:03:13.040 --> 0:03:16.760
<v Speaker 1>Kevin Byard fumble return for a touchdown sixty seconds into

0:03:16.800 --> 0:03:21.040
<v Speaker 1>the game is to me, the most important play because

0:03:21.160 --> 0:03:25.480
<v Speaker 1>it gave the Titans a lead early. Something good happened

0:03:25.480 --> 0:03:28.520
<v Speaker 1>for the Titans early, which they needed after a long week.

0:03:29.280 --> 0:03:31.680
<v Speaker 1>And the other part two is for the defense. A

0:03:31.840 --> 0:03:34.920
<v Speaker 1>takeaway and a score was a big lift. So that

0:03:35.040 --> 0:03:37.360
<v Speaker 1>goes without say I'm going to go in a different

0:03:37.400 --> 0:03:40.120
<v Speaker 1>direction just because i want to bring it up. And

0:03:40.320 --> 0:03:44.520
<v Speaker 1>that is urban Meyer's decision with two twenty seven left

0:03:44.560 --> 0:03:47.200
<v Speaker 1>in the first half, trailing twenty one to thirteen, to

0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:50.280
<v Speaker 1>try a fifty three yard field goal with Matthew Wright.

0:03:51.000 --> 0:03:54.680
<v Speaker 1>He doesn't really know this kicker Josh Lambo. His regular

0:03:54.720 --> 0:03:58.320
<v Speaker 1>guy is having problems, so he was inactive. This is

0:03:58.360 --> 0:04:01.680
<v Speaker 1>a young guy. You try the three yard or you

0:04:01.800 --> 0:04:05.360
<v Speaker 1>hit the middle of the crossbar short. No good. Titans

0:04:05.400 --> 0:04:08.240
<v Speaker 1>get the ball at the forty three yard line. They're

0:04:08.280 --> 0:04:12.720
<v Speaker 1>able to consume the rest of the half and they

0:04:12.760 --> 0:04:15.320
<v Speaker 1>go down and get three points of their own. I

0:04:15.360 --> 0:04:18.760
<v Speaker 1>think if urban Meyer punts the Titans deep, and he's

0:04:18.760 --> 0:04:22.320
<v Speaker 1>got a great punter in Logan Cook, then the Titans

0:04:22.400 --> 0:04:25.279
<v Speaker 1>probably run three plays. You got a chance to get

0:04:25.279 --> 0:04:27.840
<v Speaker 1>the ball back at midfield with a minute to go,

0:04:27.960 --> 0:04:33.239
<v Speaker 1>potentially and get another crack at it. Instead, you lose

0:04:33.640 --> 0:04:36.120
<v Speaker 1>three points to the Titans. So you're down eleven at

0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:39.560
<v Speaker 1>the half. You lose momentum going into the locker room.

0:04:39.640 --> 0:04:42.520
<v Speaker 1>The Titans have momentum. They come out to score at

0:04:42.520 --> 0:04:45.320
<v Speaker 1>the start of the third quarter, if it's still twenty

0:04:45.320 --> 0:04:48.120
<v Speaker 1>one to thirteen, or if you've gotten the ball back

0:04:48.160 --> 0:04:52.159
<v Speaker 1>and it's twenty one sixteen, then you feel really good

0:04:52.160 --> 0:04:54.640
<v Speaker 1>about yourself and the start of the second half is different.

0:04:55.080 --> 0:04:58.320
<v Speaker 1>I thought it was a mistake on urban Meyer's part

0:04:58.360 --> 0:05:02.560
<v Speaker 1>to not punt the football or go for it. If

0:05:02.600 --> 0:05:04.880
<v Speaker 1>you go for it and you don't make it, then

0:05:04.880 --> 0:05:07.159
<v Speaker 1>the Titans are at the thirty five instead of the

0:05:07.200 --> 0:05:11.159
<v Speaker 1>forty three. That's eight yards difference. I think punning, if

0:05:11.160 --> 0:05:14.240
<v Speaker 1>you're in that situation is probably the best option, because

0:05:14.279 --> 0:05:19.960
<v Speaker 1>with the NFL, it's about keep playing the game, don't

0:05:20.000 --> 0:05:23.320
<v Speaker 1>ever get ahead of your skis and make a move

0:05:23.480 --> 0:05:26.279
<v Speaker 1>that you don't necessarily have to make. When you're in

0:05:26.279 --> 0:05:29.359
<v Speaker 1>a game like that with a team the team urban

0:05:29.440 --> 0:05:33.159
<v Speaker 1>Meyer has right now, a year from now, two years

0:05:33.200 --> 0:05:36.520
<v Speaker 1>from now, maybe it's different. But I thought the grown

0:05:36.600 --> 0:05:40.159
<v Speaker 1>up football team was able to take the advantage right

0:05:40.200 --> 0:05:43.960
<v Speaker 1>there because the young football team opened the door for

0:05:44.040 --> 0:05:46.919
<v Speaker 1>the Titans, And in the end, I thought the level

0:05:46.960 --> 0:05:51.719
<v Speaker 1>of execution at those points the Titans age and experience

0:05:52.080 --> 0:05:55.839
<v Speaker 1>showed more than the Jaguars, and I don't think Meyer

0:05:55.960 --> 0:05:59.599
<v Speaker 1>helped him with that decision. At that moment thoughts, No,

0:05:59.720 --> 0:06:02.880
<v Speaker 1>I would agree with all three of our places of

0:06:02.920 --> 0:06:07.880
<v Speaker 1>opinion about where you know, the Titans turned the corner

0:06:08.240 --> 0:06:10.160
<v Speaker 1>in this thing. But that was a huge one there,

0:06:10.400 --> 0:06:15.760
<v Speaker 1>absolutely there was. Look, urban Meyer showed he has not

0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:19.560
<v Speaker 1>coached at this level in two or three opportunities yesterday,

0:06:19.560 --> 0:06:22.440
<v Speaker 1>and we've outlined two of them. All right, let's take

0:06:22.440 --> 0:06:26.040
<v Speaker 1>a look at second down. Your stat that tells the story,

0:06:26.320 --> 0:06:30.679
<v Speaker 1>Rhett Bryan, Derek Henry eighteen carries for ninety nine yards

0:06:30.680 --> 0:06:34.560
<v Speaker 1>and two touchdowns in the second half, eleven for thirty

0:06:34.560 --> 0:06:37.599
<v Speaker 1>one on a score in the first and they fed him,

0:06:37.760 --> 0:06:41.080
<v Speaker 1>especially on that drive. It was a seven carries for

0:06:41.200 --> 0:06:45.040
<v Speaker 1>how many yards forty two forty two yards, but eighteen

0:06:45.080 --> 0:06:47.160
<v Speaker 1>for ninety nine to two scores in the second half

0:06:47.960 --> 0:06:50.240
<v Speaker 1>twenty two. Train just gets rolling and you could just

0:06:50.320 --> 0:06:53.479
<v Speaker 1>see it, I mean, just dragging dudes and busting through

0:06:53.520 --> 0:06:56.440
<v Speaker 1>holes and next thing and oh he's got one hundred

0:06:56.440 --> 0:06:59.279
<v Speaker 1>and thirty on the ground and three scores. That's the

0:06:59.320 --> 0:07:02.559
<v Speaker 1>one for me. I think it's turnovers and it's because

0:07:02.560 --> 0:07:05.080
<v Speaker 1>it illustrates a bigger picture. They were able to get

0:07:05.080 --> 0:07:09.040
<v Speaker 1>the fumble recovery and an interception thanks Kevin Byard, and

0:07:09.120 --> 0:07:11.280
<v Speaker 1>I think this illustrates what the Titans were able to

0:07:11.320 --> 0:07:15.160
<v Speaker 1>do all day, which was make big plays without surrendering

0:07:15.200 --> 0:07:18.760
<v Speaker 1>big plays. Was everything perfect, absolutely not. Are there some

0:07:18.800 --> 0:07:21.360
<v Speaker 1>plays that the Titans would like to have back shore,

0:07:21.840 --> 0:07:25.040
<v Speaker 1>but they were able to turn that corner of making

0:07:25.080 --> 0:07:28.560
<v Speaker 1>big plays and doing things to generate some positive momentum

0:07:28.880 --> 0:07:32.600
<v Speaker 1>without surrendering some big plays to give the other team life,

0:07:32.920 --> 0:07:34.840
<v Speaker 1>which is a big thing. It was a point of

0:07:34.840 --> 0:07:38.000
<v Speaker 1>emphasis last week, and the Titans really showed up on Sunday.

0:07:38.680 --> 0:07:41.440
<v Speaker 1>Jacksonville finished with four hundred and fifty four yards of

0:07:41.520 --> 0:07:45.120
<v Speaker 1>total offense. Sixty nine of that was garbage in the

0:07:45.160 --> 0:07:48.640
<v Speaker 1>final one fifty four. So take out the sixty nine

0:07:48.680 --> 0:07:51.239
<v Speaker 1>yards at the end, and I don't think you're worried

0:07:51.240 --> 0:07:55.800
<v Speaker 1>about the past defense. The Titans run defense was not fabulous.

0:07:55.800 --> 0:07:58.880
<v Speaker 1>They gave up one hundred ninety eight yards rushing on

0:07:59.080 --> 0:08:02.720
<v Speaker 1>thirty one care that's way too much. That's six four

0:08:02.760 --> 0:08:06.200
<v Speaker 1>a carry. So with that being the case, the stat

0:08:06.240 --> 0:08:09.679
<v Speaker 1>that tells the story for me was Jacksonville was three

0:08:09.840 --> 0:08:13.400
<v Speaker 1>of ten on third downs and one of three on

0:08:13.600 --> 0:08:17.280
<v Speaker 1>fourth downs, so in essence, they were four of thirteen

0:08:17.640 --> 0:08:22.600
<v Speaker 1>on conversions If the Titans don't have that number three

0:08:22.640 --> 0:08:25.960
<v Speaker 1>of ten on third downs, one of three on fourth downs,

0:08:26.440 --> 0:08:30.080
<v Speaker 1>meaning four of thirteen on conversion plays, they lose this

0:08:30.120 --> 0:08:33.480
<v Speaker 1>ball game because of the rushing numbers. On the other side,

0:08:33.720 --> 0:08:37.000
<v Speaker 1>that's a much better job by the Titans defense getting

0:08:37.000 --> 0:08:40.040
<v Speaker 1>off the field on third down, something they have done

0:08:40.040 --> 0:08:44.439
<v Speaker 1>well for the majority of this season. If that continues

0:08:44.480 --> 0:08:48.239
<v Speaker 1>to be a trend, that will help them win games defensively,

0:08:48.360 --> 0:08:52.560
<v Speaker 1>because for all of Jacksonville's numbers, they scored only nineteen

0:08:52.640 --> 0:08:56.200
<v Speaker 1>points and the reason they did is they couldn't convert

0:08:56.280 --> 0:09:01.800
<v Speaker 1>in those situations. All right, third down? What area must

0:09:01.800 --> 0:09:06.000
<v Speaker 1>the Titans get fixed? Amy Wells, my key? That's run defense.

0:09:06.480 --> 0:09:09.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean you said it earlier. They were allowed one

0:09:09.160 --> 0:09:12.920
<v Speaker 1>hundred and ninety eight total rushing yards. James Robinson alone

0:09:13.000 --> 0:09:16.080
<v Speaker 1>had one hundred and forty nine, including a fifty eight

0:09:16.160 --> 0:09:19.760
<v Speaker 1>yard just sprint down the field. He's averaged eight point

0:09:19.880 --> 0:09:23.000
<v Speaker 1>three yards per carry. That's too many yards per carry

0:09:23.120 --> 0:09:25.720
<v Speaker 1>for me, and I think for anybody. I think that's

0:09:25.760 --> 0:09:28.920
<v Speaker 1>going to be something that's so important for this Titans

0:09:28.920 --> 0:09:32.959
<v Speaker 1>team going forward facing other teams with really strong running game.

0:09:33.160 --> 0:09:35.480
<v Speaker 1>That's a good point take out the fifty eight yard run,

0:09:36.040 --> 0:09:39.959
<v Speaker 1>thirty carries for one forty that's still four seven a

0:09:40.120 --> 0:09:43.160
<v Speaker 1>pop so much. What that tells you is that wasn't

0:09:43.200 --> 0:09:46.559
<v Speaker 1>just one run. They ran effectively all day. Amy. That's

0:09:46.559 --> 0:09:49.040
<v Speaker 1>a great point, right for me. I'm kind of playing

0:09:49.080 --> 0:09:51.480
<v Speaker 1>off of Amy's vibe there with the run game, but

0:09:51.520 --> 0:09:54.920
<v Speaker 1>it's giving up explosive plays. We talked about it last week,

0:09:54.920 --> 0:09:57.440
<v Speaker 1>We talked about it Sunday, going in through all this stuff,

0:09:58.240 --> 0:10:00.959
<v Speaker 1>and they still had four explosive two of them fifty

0:10:00.960 --> 0:10:03.400
<v Speaker 1>eight yarders like the one you mentioned James Robinson, a

0:10:03.440 --> 0:10:05.360
<v Speaker 1>fifty eight yard run, a fifty eight yard pass to

0:10:05.480 --> 0:10:08.360
<v Speaker 1>Leviska Chenault. Well, it should have been a ten yard game,

0:10:08.480 --> 0:10:12.040
<v Speaker 1>fifteen yard game, right, But you live to tell about

0:10:12.040 --> 0:10:16.080
<v Speaker 1>it because none of those immediately had scores attached to them,

0:10:16.120 --> 0:10:19.440
<v Speaker 1>although they one of them resulted in a score in

0:10:19.440 --> 0:10:22.600
<v Speaker 1>this thing. But to your point, Amy, you're going against

0:10:22.720 --> 0:10:27.160
<v Speaker 1>Buffalo Bill's offense, Kansas City Chiefs offense six days apart.

0:10:27.679 --> 0:10:30.320
<v Speaker 1>Explosive plays with the names that I have in my

0:10:30.360 --> 0:10:35.880
<v Speaker 1>head of Dawson Knox and Stefan Diggs and Tyreek Hill

0:10:35.880 --> 0:10:39.960
<v Speaker 1>and all those guys throughout that thing really have to

0:10:40.000 --> 0:10:42.480
<v Speaker 1>tighten that down some more in this thing. They got

0:10:42.520 --> 0:10:45.120
<v Speaker 1>better at it, I thought on Sunday, but they have

0:10:45.440 --> 0:10:49.360
<v Speaker 1>got to clamp down on it more. With two high

0:10:49.440 --> 0:10:52.200
<v Speaker 1>powered AFC teams back to back, coming on, tighten up

0:10:52.240 --> 0:10:57.040
<v Speaker 1>if you will tighten up? Indeed, Amy Wells, Okay, so

0:10:57.080 --> 0:11:00.040
<v Speaker 1>you've taken both of mine. Thanks a lot. Wow. I

0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:03.400
<v Speaker 1>have nothing. So I'm gonna go I have nothing. I've

0:11:03.440 --> 0:11:06.400
<v Speaker 1>got nothing. I'm gonna go to another area that I

0:11:06.440 --> 0:11:08.920
<v Speaker 1>actually did have circle to be totally serious, and that's

0:11:08.920 --> 0:11:13.080
<v Speaker 1>the punting game. Johnny Townsend has not done the things

0:11:13.120 --> 0:11:16.280
<v Speaker 1>in the punting game the Titans need done on a

0:11:16.360 --> 0:11:19.720
<v Speaker 1>regular basis. You need timely punting, but you need great

0:11:19.760 --> 0:11:22.640
<v Speaker 1>situational punting too. Don't need to be kicking the ball

0:11:22.679 --> 0:11:25.520
<v Speaker 1>into the end zone. You got them down one time

0:11:25.559 --> 0:11:29.000
<v Speaker 1>at the eighteen yard line on a fair catch. That

0:11:29.080 --> 0:11:32.480
<v Speaker 1>needs to really be inside the ten. If you're doing

0:11:32.600 --> 0:11:36.640
<v Speaker 1>what you're doing well. If the Titans defense is doing

0:11:36.679 --> 0:11:39.920
<v Speaker 1>its thing and that's not allowing the explosive place, what

0:11:40.000 --> 0:11:43.360
<v Speaker 1>they've shown is it's hard to drive the ball on

0:11:43.400 --> 0:11:45.840
<v Speaker 1>this defense. If they're not giving up the big place,

0:11:46.000 --> 0:11:49.440
<v Speaker 1>driving the ball against this defense is hard. An extra

0:11:49.520 --> 0:11:54.040
<v Speaker 1>ten fifteen yards in terms of a good punt puts

0:11:54.040 --> 0:11:56.319
<v Speaker 1>you in a position that you make it even harder.

0:11:56.559 --> 0:11:58.960
<v Speaker 1>It's a little thing. It's not as big as yours.

0:11:59.000 --> 0:12:01.520
<v Speaker 1>It's not as impressive as yours. You both took mine.

0:12:02.000 --> 0:12:04.680
<v Speaker 1>So I'm going with the punning game. And I don't

0:12:04.720 --> 0:12:09.200
<v Speaker 1>want to seem bitter at all, but I probably do. Well,

0:12:09.200 --> 0:12:12.280
<v Speaker 1>it's the whole travel thing. I'm a little Jacksonville took

0:12:12.280 --> 0:12:13.960
<v Speaker 1>a lot out of mine, as it did the rest

0:12:13.960 --> 0:12:16.400
<v Speaker 1>of it took a lot out of But in all seriousness,

0:12:16.400 --> 0:12:19.160
<v Speaker 1>Titans got a punt it better, something we have grown

0:12:19.200 --> 0:12:22.960
<v Speaker 1>accustomed to and quite frankly take for granted. Where the

0:12:22.960 --> 0:12:24.760
<v Speaker 1>Titans have got to be better. Now, I'll say one

0:12:24.800 --> 0:12:27.680
<v Speaker 1>thing to follow up what you're talking about. I thought

0:12:27.679 --> 0:12:30.960
<v Speaker 1>the Titans kick coverage units did a nice job against

0:12:31.000 --> 0:12:34.480
<v Speaker 1>Jacksonville because we warned everyone about Jamal Agnew and the

0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:37.839
<v Speaker 1>wheels that that guy's got, and it's evidenced by the

0:12:37.920 --> 0:12:40.480
<v Speaker 1>kick coverage. Because I think the furthest down the field

0:12:40.520 --> 0:12:42.480
<v Speaker 1>their best starting position out of all their positions, with

0:12:42.520 --> 0:12:44.880
<v Speaker 1>I think their own thirty three yard line, Joe Jones

0:12:45.040 --> 0:12:48.959
<v Speaker 1>three tackles on special teams. You think there's a chance

0:12:49.080 --> 0:12:52.280
<v Speaker 1>that he's available for action on Monday Night football again.

0:12:52.559 --> 0:12:56.760
<v Speaker 1>I would almost bet my life on it. Yep, I

0:12:56.760 --> 0:13:01.120
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't go that far, but yes, extreme again, Jacksonville took

0:13:01.160 --> 0:13:03.640
<v Speaker 1>something out of me that's exactly right, all right, fourth

0:13:03.720 --> 0:13:07.720
<v Speaker 1>down one thing that you noticed and wanted to share

0:13:07.760 --> 0:13:10.440
<v Speaker 1>with the group. Rhett Brian, you get to go first.

0:13:10.559 --> 0:13:14.280
<v Speaker 1>I think it's that Jacksonville. I've always taking the scenes

0:13:14.320 --> 0:13:18.520
<v Speaker 1>in the setting in this thing. Jacksonville's fans wan't so

0:13:18.600 --> 0:13:22.120
<v Speaker 1>bad to win, and not just beat the Titans, but

0:13:22.200 --> 0:13:25.560
<v Speaker 1>just to be prominent again. You know, three years ago,

0:13:25.640 --> 0:13:29.079
<v Speaker 1>whatever it was, they made it almost the AFC Championship game,

0:13:29.160 --> 0:13:32.920
<v Speaker 1>and that whole roster's turned over, basically. But to hear

0:13:33.040 --> 0:13:35.320
<v Speaker 1>people as you pass by, as you're coming into or

0:13:35.400 --> 0:13:38.120
<v Speaker 1>leaving the stadium, even the people who worked there, it's

0:13:38.160 --> 0:13:41.160
<v Speaker 1>like maybe one day I had the telecom guy who

0:13:41.160 --> 0:13:44.160
<v Speaker 1>takes care of telecommunications there. He rode the elevator down

0:13:44.200 --> 0:13:47.000
<v Speaker 1>with me at one point during the after the game goes.

0:13:47.200 --> 0:13:49.360
<v Speaker 1>I've been around since two thousand and four, and he said,

0:13:50.200 --> 0:13:52.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, maybe one of these days they know that

0:13:52.720 --> 0:13:57.520
<v Speaker 1>they have a valuable franchise. Once every twenty years down

0:13:57.559 --> 0:13:59.800
<v Speaker 1>the pike kind of quarterback, and they want to make

0:13:59.840 --> 0:14:02.920
<v Speaker 1>sure that he's upright healthy, and they continue to put

0:14:02.920 --> 0:14:04.840
<v Speaker 1>weapons around them. They know they've got something there. They're

0:14:04.880 --> 0:14:07.360
<v Speaker 1>just they're anxious. They want to It's like where the

0:14:07.400 --> 0:14:10.120
<v Speaker 1>Titans have come from from twenty fourteen and twenty fifteen

0:14:10.440 --> 0:14:14.640
<v Speaker 1>to multiple appearances in the playoffs, five straight winning seasons.

0:14:14.960 --> 0:14:16.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean, we know what it's like to be on

0:14:16.800 --> 0:14:18.680
<v Speaker 1>that side of things, and it's like, gosh, the grass

0:14:18.679 --> 0:14:21.800
<v Speaker 1>shore is greener, it is, man, the Jags want to

0:14:21.800 --> 0:14:26.560
<v Speaker 1>be us so bad. Sorry, sorry, guys, Sorry, but not sorry.

0:14:26.800 --> 0:14:29.760
<v Speaker 1>I won't give it up. Mine is Kevin Byard. I

0:14:30.040 --> 0:14:34.920
<v Speaker 1>made the fatal flaw of correcting Jim Wyatt, or attempting

0:14:34.920 --> 0:14:37.280
<v Speaker 1>to correct Jim Watt. You never do that. Don't never

0:14:37.320 --> 0:14:39.160
<v Speaker 1>do don't do that. You don't correct Mike Keith. You

0:14:39.160 --> 0:14:43.800
<v Speaker 1>don't correct Jim Wyatt. They know right exactly. So I

0:14:43.840 --> 0:14:47.680
<v Speaker 1>was sitting with Jim reading his articles while I was

0:14:47.880 --> 0:14:50.800
<v Speaker 1>next to him, which I'm sure he appreciates, and I

0:14:50.920 --> 0:14:53.680
<v Speaker 1>looked at him at one point and I said, Kevin

0:14:53.800 --> 0:14:58.760
<v Speaker 1>Byared got his first NFL touchdown against Jacksonville. I said,

0:14:58.800 --> 0:15:01.800
<v Speaker 1>that can't be right. Even Byers had a touchdown before,

0:15:01.880 --> 0:15:05.080
<v Speaker 1>and he was like, no, no, he hasn't. I was

0:15:05.120 --> 0:15:07.640
<v Speaker 1>so impressed by Kevin Byrd the way he played, and

0:15:07.680 --> 0:15:10.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm so happy that he was finally able to have

0:15:10.040 --> 0:15:14.080
<v Speaker 1>success and get those big, those big moments, those big plays,

0:15:14.200 --> 0:15:19.080
<v Speaker 1>because Kevin Byard has been grinding these last couple seasons

0:15:19.160 --> 0:15:21.920
<v Speaker 1>and he's kind of been getting a bad rap for it,

0:15:22.400 --> 0:15:25.840
<v Speaker 1>and he's not getting those big explosive plays that we,

0:15:26.280 --> 0:15:28.720
<v Speaker 1>I guess have expected to see out of him. I

0:15:28.880 --> 0:15:31.320
<v Speaker 1>was floored that he hadn't had a touchdown before. I

0:15:31.320 --> 0:15:33.760
<v Speaker 1>thought for sure he had. It was so great to

0:15:33.800 --> 0:15:37.600
<v Speaker 1>see Kevin Byard doing Kevin Byrd things and getting the

0:15:37.680 --> 0:15:39.480
<v Speaker 1>success that we all expect from him. He has a

0:15:39.520 --> 0:15:43.600
<v Speaker 1>touchdown pass, that's right, yeah, but that's not he had

0:15:43.680 --> 0:15:46.640
<v Speaker 1>never been in the end zone with the ball. My

0:15:46.720 --> 0:15:49.360
<v Speaker 1>mind was blown. I made Jim Wyatt correct his work

0:15:49.400 --> 0:15:52.280
<v Speaker 1>and I should not have done it. It was an

0:15:52.320 --> 0:15:55.680
<v Speaker 1>outstanding return on his part, not an easy run. It's

0:15:55.720 --> 0:15:59.160
<v Speaker 1>really what the Titans needed Christian Fulton to do last week.

0:15:59.640 --> 0:16:02.440
<v Speaker 1>When you when you get a ball on the other

0:16:02.440 --> 0:16:05.280
<v Speaker 1>side of the fifty, on the other team's half of

0:16:05.320 --> 0:16:08.040
<v Speaker 1>the field, you got a score. Ye, I mean, you've

0:16:08.080 --> 0:16:11.880
<v Speaker 1>got to score, and those dbs are athletic enough they

0:16:11.920 --> 0:16:15.800
<v Speaker 1>can do that. The Titans ended up with three after

0:16:15.840 --> 0:16:20.200
<v Speaker 1>the Christian Fulton pick at New York. He's got a

0:16:20.240 --> 0:16:22.440
<v Speaker 1>score there, and that's what the coaching staff, That's what

0:16:22.520 --> 0:16:24.480
<v Speaker 1>Vrabel said when we were watching it on the Mike

0:16:24.560 --> 0:16:29.280
<v Speaker 1>Vrabels Show last week. Bayer did what you needed to do.

0:16:29.440 --> 0:16:33.720
<v Speaker 1>He finished it, and your chances of winning a game

0:16:34.360 --> 0:16:39.320
<v Speaker 1>with a defensive touchdown go up astronomically. But your point

0:16:39.400 --> 0:16:42.600
<v Speaker 1>is well made, Amy because when Kevin Byard starts to

0:16:42.720 --> 0:16:46.680
<v Speaker 1>run into football's, good things happen. Even the pick at

0:16:46.720 --> 0:16:48.720
<v Speaker 1>the end of the game, had a pick in the

0:16:48.720 --> 0:16:53.520
<v Speaker 1>Arizona game. There are certain dudes, you know, there's certain

0:16:53.640 --> 0:16:57.560
<v Speaker 1>guys Trayvon Diggs right now for Dallas Isla. Yeah, you

0:16:57.680 --> 0:17:01.760
<v Speaker 1>started to run into footballs. That's a good thing. And

0:17:01.880 --> 0:17:05.960
<v Speaker 1>so hopefully Amani Hooker is close to being back. I

0:17:06.080 --> 0:17:09.119
<v Speaker 1>think if we see Bayard and Hooker together for the

0:17:09.160 --> 0:17:11.639
<v Speaker 1>rest of the season, I think there can be a

0:17:11.680 --> 0:17:14.960
<v Speaker 1>lot of plays made by that duo and that could

0:17:15.000 --> 0:17:17.920
<v Speaker 1>be a big thing. What stood out to me is

0:17:18.400 --> 0:17:24.639
<v Speaker 1>I think Jacksonville has the potential to have a good team.

0:17:25.920 --> 0:17:28.360
<v Speaker 1>That stood out to me because I think Trevor Lawrence

0:17:28.480 --> 0:17:31.440
<v Speaker 1>is the real thing. I'm a big fan of James Robinson.

0:17:31.440 --> 0:17:34.000
<v Speaker 1>They're running back. Can't believe they didn't try to get

0:17:34.000 --> 0:17:38.080
<v Speaker 1>the ball to Laviska Chenault more because he's a dangerous player.

0:17:38.600 --> 0:17:41.640
<v Speaker 1>Their offensive line isn't bad. They have several good tight

0:17:41.760 --> 0:17:44.640
<v Speaker 1>ends on defense. They have a couple of good young

0:17:44.760 --> 0:17:49.160
<v Speaker 1>pass rushers. You started to seek Levan Jason emerging this too,

0:17:49.320 --> 0:17:51.600
<v Speaker 1>which is a problem. He started to come on and

0:17:52.040 --> 0:17:55.399
<v Speaker 1>Josh Allen's a good pass rusher. They've got some guys

0:17:55.400 --> 0:17:58.080
<v Speaker 1>in the secondary who I think are gonna be good players.

0:17:58.160 --> 0:18:03.879
<v Speaker 1>They're gonna be a pain. The question becomes how quickly

0:18:04.000 --> 0:18:07.520
<v Speaker 1>do they become a pain and what goes on with

0:18:07.560 --> 0:18:14.639
<v Speaker 1>this situation in Jacksonville to either speed up the process

0:18:14.800 --> 0:18:17.520
<v Speaker 1>or slow down the process. And I think that's something

0:18:17.560 --> 0:18:20.640
<v Speaker 1>we're going to keep an eye on from a Titans perspective,

0:18:21.400 --> 0:18:24.120
<v Speaker 1>is what's going to go on in Jacksonville, because when

0:18:24.160 --> 0:18:27.840
<v Speaker 1>we see them on December twelfth, there's a chance they're

0:18:27.880 --> 0:18:31.639
<v Speaker 1>a lot better. Here's the thing, in December, we will

0:18:32.280 --> 0:18:35.720
<v Speaker 1>guaranteed see a different Jags team than what we saw

0:18:36.200 --> 0:18:40.240
<v Speaker 1>this past weekend. The question is are they one hundred

0:18:40.240 --> 0:18:43.919
<v Speaker 1>percent better or one hundred percent worse. They're in a

0:18:44.000 --> 0:18:47.239
<v Speaker 1>situation where they're going to hit a crossroads. I think

0:18:47.240 --> 0:18:50.840
<v Speaker 1>you're right. I think they're at the crossroads because of

0:18:51.000 --> 0:18:53.320
<v Speaker 1>the on the field with them being a new team

0:18:53.359 --> 0:18:55.600
<v Speaker 1>and a new staff and having lost twenty in a row,

0:18:56.359 --> 0:18:59.679
<v Speaker 1>and then the other stuff that's going on that I

0:18:59.720 --> 0:19:02.359
<v Speaker 1>think we can see from the outside. He's not gonna

0:19:02.440 --> 0:19:07.840
<v Speaker 1>die down immediately, which has to be distracting Trevor Lawrence.

0:19:08.040 --> 0:19:10.640
<v Speaker 1>Is the tipping point with whatever happens down the road

0:19:11.080 --> 0:19:14.280
<v Speaker 1>if it starts to be a regression of him because

0:19:14.320 --> 0:19:18.119
<v Speaker 1>he is not protected well or what it's a quarterback league.

0:19:18.480 --> 0:19:20.840
<v Speaker 1>That's the tipping point with whatever happens with him down

0:19:20.840 --> 0:19:23.600
<v Speaker 1>the road. All right, That does it for this edition

0:19:23.720 --> 0:19:26.960
<v Speaker 1>of the OTP four D presented by Farm Bureau Health

0:19:27.000 --> 0:19:29.440
<v Speaker 1>Plans for Amy Wells and Rhett Brian. I might Keith

0:19:29.520 --> 0:19:33.280
<v Speaker 1>thanking you for joining us for the O t Pecome
