1
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:13,960
Speaker 1: Coffee is good this morning. Need it the coffee? Yes,

2
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 1: the great Jim Wyatt never needs coffee. I've got it.

3
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:19,360
Speaker 1: I need coffee, do you really? Yes, you drag it

4
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:21,400
Speaker 1: a little bit. I usually get it one or two

5
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:22,919
Speaker 1: cups to give me a little boost in the morning.

6
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 1: And okay, it smiles good, thank you. Yeah, but not

7
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:31,320
Speaker 1: as good as this in the Titan Cup. You get

8
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 1: a cup Titan Cup. It's very unseen. Its well and

9
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 1: that's this is the official Titans podcast. So hey, whatever,

10
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:43,240
Speaker 1: glad to have you with us another week. Not as

11
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 1: um all over the Road is last Thursday, all of

12
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 1: the Richard Matthews stuff was hitting, and um that turned

13
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 1: out to be. I don't know, it was not as

14
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 1: dramatic as what I kind of thought it was going

15
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 1: to end up being in turn terms of a day,

16
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 1: largely because John Robinson came out and chose to talk,

17
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 1: and I think in doing so, Jim he basically diffused everything. Yeah,

18
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 1: I think, so it was not as dramatic as some

19
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 1: people wanted it to be. I mean, let's face the

20
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 1: reality here, and this is a guy who was a

21
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: big time contributor in twenty sixteen and twenty seventeen but

22
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,199
Speaker 1: the start of this season had three catches for eleven yards.

23
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,319
Speaker 1: And the reality is again that a lot of players

24
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 1: knew about this move, you know, Sunday night, Monday after

25
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 1: the game, and then by the time it surfaced on

26
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 1: Wednesday night and they were prepared to talk about on Thursday,

27
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: it was a dead issue and they were moving on

28
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 1: to the Eagles. So it did come and go pretty quickly.

29
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:41,399
Speaker 1: I haven't seen where Richard Matthews has worked out for

30
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 1: anyone yet, and I kind of checked the transactions each day.

31
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: Eventually he's gonna surface, but find an interesting that no

32
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: one has kind of jumped on him right out of

33
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 1: the gate. I think that what John Robinson did is awesome,

34
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: and we said a little bit last week, but I

35
00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 1: just am a huge fan of whenever there's big roster news,

36
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 1: no matter what it is, he is the first person

37
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: who steps up takes those questions so that the football

38
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,239
Speaker 1: side doesn't have to deal with that. And I think

39
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: that that is such a cool thing that he has

40
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: really embraced this season, and it just seems like such

41
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 1: a power move to me. I think it's cool and

42
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 1: there's an understanding in him in year three that that's

43
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: really what the job is all about is he continues

44
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 1: to grow. It's not that he didn't know that in

45
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 1: year one, and he certainly did some of those things

46
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:35,119
Speaker 1: last year. But I think he sees that as such

47
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: a way to help Mike Vrabel and to help the

48
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 1: locker room, and is willing to step forward and do that.

49
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: Some leaders hide behind the door in a variety of businesses.

50
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 1: He's chosen to. He did it with the Kevin Dodds situation.

51
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 1: He chose to walk out there and say this didn't work.

52
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 1: I picked him. Guess what, You're not going to bat

53
00:02:55,800 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: a thousand in that job. And it is impressive. I

54
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: agree with you, and I think it it diffused that situation.

55
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 1: And then the ball club goes on and gets a

56
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,920
Speaker 1: remarkable victory. Jim Watt says it's the greatest victory in

57
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 1: the history of Nissan Stadium. Mike, I know that this

58
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 1: is a thing for you. Well, I read the article.

59
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 1: Is great. By the way, thank you. Mike's going to

60
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:26,080
Speaker 1: destroy I'm not gonna destroy it. And uh, and I

61
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 1: maybe you should retweet it again. I will do that again,

62
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,079
Speaker 1: and I'll say it was the great It was the

63
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 1: number one on my list of games that ended with

64
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: a touchdown drive uh so not necessarily felt like you

65
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 1: made enough qualifiers on it that it essentially became like

66
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 1: a contest for the tallest short person. I mean it

67
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 1: didn't end with the field goal in the in the

68
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: regular season, and it was just easier, you know, when

69
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: you're trying to include every game, and that includes playoffs,

70
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 1: which is a completely different thing. Well, and you can't.

71
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 1: And the truth is you can't compare a playoff win

72
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 1: to a regular You can't. So and then you know,

73
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 1: so you did include the music see miracle and there

74
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: everything's finishing behind the miracle. Everything in my mind's finishing

75
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 1: behind the Joe Needni double moment. Yeah, the music City Mulligan.

76
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 1: Uh So, play and playoff games are tough to factory.

77
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 1: And then you start factoring the field goals. And when

78
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: you start doing a list over twenty seasons, if you

79
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: go start, you know, your memories a lot better than mine.

80
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: H I remember the games that uh that in with

81
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: the touchdown. But when you're there are only two there

82
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 1: are only two that have ended with the Titans touchdown

83
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 1: to win it. Yeah, well I included and Kenny Britt

84
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 1: playing OH nine against Arizona. Yes, and then the touchdown

85
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,359
Speaker 1: on Sunday. So I mean you qualified it down to

86
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 1: down down to in the closing minutes or it was

87
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: a walkoff game winner in overtime, so in the closing

88
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 1: moments gives me away leeway to include the Steve McNair

89
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:07,799
Speaker 1: to Aaron Kinney in Pittsburgh. Uh it let me even

90
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 1: expand included obviously the Vinch Young walk off in Houston

91
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,600
Speaker 1: and Houston back in the two thousand and six seasons.

92
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:20,160
Speaker 1: That right, yes, allows me include the Steve McNair to

93
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 1: Drew Bennett and a great comeback win down there. So

94
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: it got me to twelve. And of course everybody, well

95
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 1: what about the the pac Man Jones game to win

96
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 1: over the Giants with that game in in the field goal? Well,

97
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 1: what about the Steve McNair when he was dealing with

98
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,840
Speaker 1: the rib injury and he scored in the medal Where

99
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,039
Speaker 1: you didn't have that ended with the field goal. You

100
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 1: didn't have the O seven where Baronas hits the eighth

101
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 1: field goal to win at Houston. Because I'm saying, in

102
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 1: terms of great endings, I think while a touchdown is awesome,

103
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,159
Speaker 1: I was hit immediately after the game in the hall?

104
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:01,279
Speaker 1: Was that the greatest game or the greatest ending ever

105
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 1: at Nissan Stadenson? Well, I can't necessarily say that, and

106
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,039
Speaker 1: I think to a certain extent it has to do

107
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,040
Speaker 1: with the fact that it had just been so long

108
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:15,720
Speaker 1: that everybody had forgotten. There were so many great endings

109
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 1: early on. I mean got Lee, I mean the Baronas

110
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 1: sixty yard field goal, which admittedly came with eleven seconds

111
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 1: to go to beat the Colts. And you know the

112
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 1: playoff game two against the Steelers where McNair takes him

113
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 1: down the field with the skin torn off his thumb

114
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:37,839
Speaker 1: and gros and Nednie makes the double Mulligan. Um, but

115
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 1: I liked how you did that. I had to tease you.

116
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 1: I just had to tease you because you've been talking

117
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,840
Speaker 1: a year. I have very serious no I have. Well,

118
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what's amazing is this, and it's the listen.

119
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 1: I mean, the work I did was not amazing, but

120
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 1: the fact that the twelve games, that five of these

121
00:06:55,880 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 1: twelve included, uh, Marcus Mariota, right, it's Marcus. I think

122
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 1: with five McNair, I think with three, Vince Young had

123
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 1: a couple. There was a hassleback that was a Fitzpatrick.

124
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 1: There was one more locker. Hard to believe that five

125
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 1: of the twelve with Marcus already he's and that's part

126
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: of his eleven game winning drives. Pretty impressive. Well, it

127
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 1: was great stuff and appreciate it. So we tie in

128
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 1: the two things, Richard Matthew's departure great ending receivers stepping up.

129
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. I was so impressed by the

130
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 1: way that the Titans receivers showed up in the end

131
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 1: of that game. Specifically, Um, we had spent weeks talking

132
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 1: about where are the receivers? When are we going to

133
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 1: see the receivers? What happened to the Titans receivers? Here

134
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 1: they are folks found him, Well, that Titans weren't throwing

135
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 1: the ball. No, And that's the thing. I mean, that's

136
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: that's the whole thing is for you know, it was

137
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 1: some of the Matthews thing that was kind of confusing

138
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: about his role. It's like, well, when you're only throwing

139
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 1: the ball twenty one twenty two times a game because

140
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 1: you don't know if you can protect the quarterback and

141
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 1: you're not sure who the quarterback is, You're not sure

142
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 1: if he can feel his fingers and he can't feel

143
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 1: his fingers, then it's kind of hard to know. It's

144
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 1: the same way people are talking this week about well,

145
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 1: you can't run the ball. Well, they didn't try to

146
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 1: run the ball. They didn't need to. They only ran

147
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 1: the ball. The tailbacks only carried twelve times, and they

148
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 1: get well why was that? Well, because they said, how

149
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 1: we're gonna beat him is throwing it to hut you know,

150
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 1: to Tayja Sharp in the end zone, throwing it to

151
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 1: Corey Davis down the field. I mean Corey Davis had

152
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 1: what four catches of over twenty yards? That's right. But

153
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 1: that's what you like, is that so many guys. You know,

154
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,199
Speaker 1: obviously Corey Davis with a breakout game and the big

155
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 1: catch at the end, but tayj Sharp with the great

156
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 1: route that gets over for a touchdown on fourth down

157
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 1: and fifteen it's Tawan Taylor that gets in the right

158
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 1: place it makes a cat. So all those guys contributed

159
00:08:56,280 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 1: and they're going to continue to contribute. Are we over

160
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 1: the either woods or we've passed all the growing pains? No?

161
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 1: I mean this is still a very young receiving corps

162
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 1: and they're going to have to go through some battles

163
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 1: in hostile environments on the road and face some really

164
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 1: good corners and it's still not going to be perfect

165
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:17,959
Speaker 1: moving forward, but u it's a great momentum builder as

166
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:21,319
Speaker 1: you move into week five, no, no question. And Tawan

167
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 1: played really well. I mean the route that he ran

168
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 1: on fourth and fifteen and the throw Mariotta made. I

169
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 1: mean to stand there and make that throw knowing that's

170
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 1: the ball game, yep, you think you think about that,

171
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 1: and that that's a deep sideline throw on fourth and fifteen,

172
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 1: and so you've got I mean, if that ball is

173
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 1: one foot to the left or one foot to the right,

174
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 1: if he has to come back to the ball, if

175
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 1: I mean, what a perfect money, ice water in your

176
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 1: veins type of throw. My stomach is turning just talking

177
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 1: about I almost threw up at least five times. Thanks

178
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 1: for sharing. Well, it was bad. It was a bad

179
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 1: situation because it's for me. It's all happening right in

180
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 1: front of me. Yeah, so I'm standing there, and yeah,

181
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 1: so I was pretty close. You were down there too

182
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 1: at that point, right, No, I stay up a stay

183
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:19,199
Speaker 1: up all the way through, okay, just because you got

184
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 1: I gotta be ready to hit that button whenever the

185
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 1: game ends, and posting on Titans online, gosh, I was

186
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 1: like pacing. I was doing squats, like weird stuff. Whatever

187
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 1: I could do to keep from screaming. It was because

188
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 1: that would be unprofessional. That would be unprofessional. But like

189
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 1: just wiggling around on the sideline, very professional. What a throw.

190
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 1: I couldn't believe. It's so open. There's one of those

191
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 1: plays that you see it kind of develop and then

192
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 1: you see the ball in flight and then look over

193
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 1: and there's Taiwan open on the sideline. And at that

194
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 1: point is what I realize this may have a special

195
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 1: ending to it. Well, Tay, you know, they've been on

196
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 1: Tay forever and this is and I shouldn't say on

197
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 1: but the route running has been a big thing with him,

198
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 1: making sure you're getting the right depth. Here's the throw.

199
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, I mean, what a perfect throw. And

200
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 1: if you watch his route, I mean it's fantastic. There's

201
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 1: Nick Williams getting grabbed. Awesome. Good job by Nick Williams

202
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:19,319
Speaker 1: there to make sure to make sure he sold it

203
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 1: that the Titans, you know, getting the two fourth down

204
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:28,319
Speaker 1: conversions and then the fourth and two. Did anybody here

205
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 1: think he was going. You know, it's one of those

206
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 1: in there showing that Marcus run there which would set

207
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 1: it up. I mean that was what was That was

208
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,439
Speaker 1: third and nineteen in the point was and then they

209
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:40,719
Speaker 1: ran for seventeen. It was third and nineteen at the

210
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 1: forty nine. You know, when the field goal unit came on,

211
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 1: you couldn't help but think, okay, this is you know,

212
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 1: a tie is not going to be the way you

213
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 1: want to walk out of the stadium, but you kind

214
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 1: of made sense. And then to see the offense go

215
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 1: back out there, I thought it was outstanding. Gutsy called

216
00:11:57,040 --> 00:12:00,560
Speaker 1: by Vrabel that obviously he's going to carry and stay

217
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 1: with this team from here on out. It's a great

218
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 1: play call. And tay Jay's block as well, two blocks

219
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 1: actually you see he got the first man and then

220
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,560
Speaker 1: the second. I thought when they got the first block

221
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 1: he was going to score. And then the scoring play

222
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 1: to Davis and does a great job holding it all

223
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 1: the way to the ground. And what a reaction from

224
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 1: Mariota was. It was magical, What a reaction from the

225
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 1: whole stadium, and what a moment for Titans fans that

226
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 1: they so deserved. They have waited so long for this.

227
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:41,559
Speaker 1: There's a generation of Titans fans who don't remember some

228
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:45,079
Speaker 1: of the great plays that Jim and I were talking about,

229
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:48,560
Speaker 1: that this was their first experience getting to have that

230
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 1: Nissan Stadium moment. And then there's a whole group of

231
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 1: people who've been through all of them who said, man,

232
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 1: this is how it used to be so happy for

233
00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:00,439
Speaker 1: the fans. Yeah, and they were worked up. I mean, yeah, yeah.

234
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,080
Speaker 1: There were there were some Eagles fans in the stands,

235
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:04,839
Speaker 1: and I think if you're a Titans fan, it makes

236
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,960
Speaker 1: it even better to kind of wish those people well

237
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:09,680
Speaker 1: on the way out the door, because there's been a

238
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:12,559
Speaker 1: lot of years well those people, those Titans fans sat

239
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 1: in those seats through the lean years and had to

240
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 1: hear it from the opposing team's fans and got tired

241
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 1: of it. And some of them have not come back

242
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 1: because of moments like that and because of dry spells

243
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 1: that this team went through. So the hard accore die

244
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,079
Speaker 1: hard fans that have shown up their week in a

245
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:32,199
Speaker 1: week out. I've seen this team now when it was

246
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 1: twelve by the last fourteen games at Nissan Stadium, have

247
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:38,719
Speaker 1: seen them beat some really good teams over there and

248
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 1: have and have been able to kind of smile when

249
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,599
Speaker 1: they see the opposing teams fans pack it up and

250
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 1: get back, you know, head back home after losing a

251
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 1: game here. So, uh, you get the feeling that that's

252
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 1: it was more where that came from. It was kind

253
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 1: of great to see the excitement in that stadium. It

254
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 1: was loud, really loud, and people were going nuts, just

255
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 1: absolutely crazy. That was awesome. It was cool to be

256
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 1: downtown after the game and see some really excited Titans

257
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 1: fans and some really sad Eagles fans. It was great.

258
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 1: People were below us, I know, uh, you know, I

259
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 1: shot a video of it real quick, just because the

260
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 1: people jump around giving high fives. I know a lot

261
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 1: of people have told me they saw John looked up

262
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 1: and saw you know, we're watching you and reacting to

263
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 1: your call, and then looking up and seeing John Robinson

264
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 1: in the press box and and him gesturing toward the

265
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 1: crowd and pumping his fist. People loved seeing him excited

266
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 1: and seeing the raw emotion after a win like that

267
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 1: and kind of everybody celebrated together. It was cool moment

268
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 1: for the team, uh, you know, cool moment for the

269
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 1: fans and uh and boy did Quinn Spain react quickly,

270
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 1: but could pick it up. It's the ball back. Do

271
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 1: we know that. I haven't heard that the ball is back.

272
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 1: He launched that sucker too. It might be in the

273
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 1: next county, like it may not even have been in

274
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 1: the stadium. Here's the thing about launch it like shot

275
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 1: put it. Let's talk about the ball for a second.

276
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 1: If you if you have the ball, give the ball back,

277
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 1: bring it back, And here's why you're gonna get a

278
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 1: lot more than just the ball. Yeah, I mean, you're

279
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 1: thinking about making a deal. You're not going to jail.

280
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 1: I probably you get the sense this is either somebody

281
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 1: who's not aware that the team's trying to get the

282
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 1: ball back for Corey Davis, right, or they're fearful that

283
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 1: they're going to get in trouble somehow because there's no

284
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 1: reason to not make the deal. You're gonna do better.

285
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, what are you gonna do with that ball otherwise? Well,

286
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 1: I mean doesn't make anything. I mean, you're gonna they'll

287
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 1: give you another ball, which will be great, But then

288
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 1: they're gonna give you a lot of other stuff. I

289
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 1: wish they would give me all the stuff you're gonna

290
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 1: get probab problem is this if it ended up in

291
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 1: the hands of an Eagles fan and uh and they're

292
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 1: not giving it back, which I'm going to Philadelphia to

293
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 1: find it because because I know U is that the theory?

294
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 1: I know? Stretch kind of asked, hey, can you put

295
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 1: the word out there? So I tweeted something out ere

296
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 1: in the week about missing this. You know, looking for

297
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 1: this ball. You'll be rewarded maybe a meet and greed

298
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 1: or get exchanged for an autograph ball. You know, it's

299
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 1: up for discussion, and several people in that said they

300
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 1: saw an Eagles fan catch it, So finding that guy

301
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 1: good luck. Now there's there's a precedent behind this one.

302
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 1: If we all remember when Corey Davis scored a touchdown

303
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 1: his first career touchdown in the playoff game against New England.

304
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 1: That ball ended up in the stands as well, ended

305
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 1: up in the hands of a Titans fan who showed

306
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 1: up at practice here during training camp six seven months

307
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 1: later and returned the ball to Corey Days, who was

308
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 1: shocked to get it. They called him over the fence

309
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 1: line said hey, here's the here's the football that ended

310
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 1: up in the stands in Foxborough from your first career

311
00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 1: touchdown and he was shocked to get it had all

312
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 1: the arkings on it that showed it was a legitimate ball. Yeah,

313
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 1: they can scan it. Yeah, and uh so got that one.

314
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:10,160
Speaker 1: Six or seven months later. This one hasn't surfaced yet.

315
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 1: And I actually talked to Quentin Spain about it in

316
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 1: the locker room Yesterday's a little touchy about it because

317
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 1: I think he's been risked so much about doing it,

318
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 1: and he said, hey, I got excited. Uh my first

319
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 1: thought was to throw it up in the stand. So

320
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:28,719
Speaker 1: so what let's say at some point Quentin Spain scores

321
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 1: a touchdown. I say, then what happens in Spain because

322
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 1: he throws everyone's touchdown ball away? But but I feel

323
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,159
Speaker 1: for Quintin a little bit because and I don't know

324
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 1: that everybody realizes this, but uh, past couple of years,

325
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 1: this team had an opportunity to raise money for ALS,

326
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:54,119
Speaker 1: and part of that was every ball that was score,

327
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:57,399
Speaker 1: every touchdown was caught or run across the goal line.

328
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:00,200
Speaker 1: If it ends up in the hands of a fan

329
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 1: in the crowd, then the Titans were going to make

330
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:07,359
Speaker 1: a five hundred dollars contribution to ALS. And Quentin Spain

331
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:10,399
Speaker 1: was appointed as the guy who would give the ball away.

332
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:13,639
Speaker 1: Here he was that designated ball throw Yes, so that

333
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:15,680
Speaker 1: was part of his gig, is that when there was

334
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 1: a touchdown, if the player didn't want it, then Quentin

335
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:20,640
Speaker 1: would get it and give it to a fan and

336
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:24,159
Speaker 1: so race good money for als. The problem is is

337
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:27,639
Speaker 1: that some guys wanted to keep those balls, and Quentin

338
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 1: wasn't waiting around to find out want this from or not,

339
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,359
Speaker 1: so he was taking upon himself to get it and

340
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 1: give it away. So but I know where he's coming from.

341
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:41,400
Speaker 1: If Quentin Spain scores a touchdown, I say we give

342
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:43,639
Speaker 1: it to Corey Davis and he can he can do

343
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 1: what he wants. Yeah, do I keep it? Do I

344
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 1: throw it? You did a good interview on Monday Night Live,

345
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 1: which is Mike Rabel's TV show with Corey Davis. Would

346
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 1: you mind if we show that? No? Please? All right?

347
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:57,479
Speaker 1: Here's Amy from Monday Night Live with Corey Davis talking

348
00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 1: about the experience of Sunday and the game, geting touchdown

349
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:06,400
Speaker 1: and nine catches for one hundred and sixty one yards. Corey,

350
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 1: your catch was nothing short of phenomenal. Won the game

351
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 1: against the Eagles. There was five seconds left in overtime.

352
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:16,640
Speaker 1: It was a third down when you jumped up to

353
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:20,879
Speaker 1: get that ball. What was going through your mind? Honestly, Um,

354
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 1: just making a play, you know, Gray, We've been talking

355
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:25,879
Speaker 1: about that all week, just players making plays, and you

356
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:27,439
Speaker 1: know that's what it came down to, Marcus for the

357
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:30,119
Speaker 1: ball up there? When to go get it? Take me

358
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:33,479
Speaker 1: through that play? What was called? What were you seeing?

359
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:36,400
Speaker 1: What was happening in that moment? Yeah, So they were

360
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 1: in man and I kind of knew that, and there

361
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 1: was a guy was talking to me. I knew he

362
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:41,920
Speaker 1: was gonna blitz, so m I kind of knew that

363
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:44,159
Speaker 1: I had to win. So so what I did? I

364
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 1: beat him inside and Margut Stewart great ball and when

365
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 1: I've been got it. The team has gone through so

366
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 1: much adversity in the first month of the season. Is

367
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 1: that helpful to a team in developing or are those

368
00:19:57,119 --> 00:20:00,439
Speaker 1: unnecessary challenges? It's always tough, you know, facing juries, but

369
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 1: you know, it's football, and we kind of understand that

370
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:05,159
Speaker 1: guys go down and um it's the next man up

371
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 1: a league and um, you know, guys have been stepping

372
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:09,919
Speaker 1: up huge for us this year, and um, you know,

373
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:11,119
Speaker 1: we've got a lot of a lot of dogs on

374
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 1: this team that are going to fight for their brothers.

375
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 1: So so we're about you have three touchdowns as a

376
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:21,119
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titan. One was a game winner in overtime. Two

377
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:25,199
Speaker 1: we're in a huge playoff game against the Patriots. You

378
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 1: seem to have ice in your veins. What is it

379
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 1: that gives you that confidence to make those big plays

380
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 1: on a giant stage. Um, honestly, it's just the preparation

381
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:38,359
Speaker 1: the players, Um, you know, Marcus, me and him always

382
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 1: betting in extra work and always, um don't we gotta

383
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 1: do to make sure that we're prepared for the game.

384
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 1: And that definitely gives me the confidence going into the week.

385
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:48,640
Speaker 1: Is the momentum of three and one kind of guiding

386
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 1: you into the game against the Buffalo Bills? Oh yeah,

387
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 1: oh yeah. We're definitely feel good going into this this week.

388
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 1: But like I said, we got to remain humble and

389
00:20:56,040 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 1: just keep working Day Night Live with Mike Rabel yep,

390
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 1: his TV show, Mike's TV show, not Corey Das, not

391
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 1: Corey Davis. If he keeps going like that, though, he's

392
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 1: gonna have his own TV show. And I think for

393
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 1: us who have had the pleasure of getting to know

394
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 1: him through the pre draft process and all the way

395
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:21,159
Speaker 1: through after he was drafted. Everybody here in Saint Thomas

396
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 1: Sports Park so happy for that guy. Oh, it's been

397
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 1: so it was heartbreaking to see him struggle with injuries

398
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 1: the way that he did last year because you could

399
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 1: tell he wanted to be out there so bad. Sure,

400
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,400
Speaker 1: and so to see him finally get to a place

401
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 1: where he's fully healthy, he's doing a great job. He

402
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 1: can be a leader within that room, within this Titans offense.

403
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 1: It's so good to see and he and he's you know,

404
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:48,720
Speaker 1: he's a game changing receiver. I mean physically he can

405
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:51,920
Speaker 1: do it. And now just a confidence is all he

406
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:53,960
Speaker 1: needs in a game like that will go a long

407
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:58,360
Speaker 1: way toward backing him feel like I can win everyone

408
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 1: on one battle and certainly great sign up for things

409
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 1: to come. Let's talk about practice yesterday. He was limited

410
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:08,440
Speaker 1: because of an illness. That's right, Yeah, he's limited with

411
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:12,679
Speaker 1: an illness. Wesley Woodard, who went off with a shoulder injury,

412
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 1: did not practice, along with Dennis Kelly who who's dealing

413
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 1: with an illness himself, Kenny Vaco with an elbow injury

414
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 1: that if you have seen the replay of that, you

415
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 1: probably don't want to see it again. As far as

416
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:27,159
Speaker 1: him going off the field, it was it was not

417
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 1: a pretty sight. Blaine Gabbett was back on the practice field,

418
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 1: it limited, you know, and not doing anything because being

419
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 1: in the concussion protocol, but we saw him warm up

420
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 1: before the game. Looks like he's on track to return.

421
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:44,160
Speaker 1: David Flewellen practiced dealing with the growing injury. Marcus remains

422
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:47,359
Speaker 1: on the injury report, but it was a full participant

423
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 1: in putting that injury behind him. So for Carro a

424
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:53,400
Speaker 1: few weeks is what we think, which is a real

425
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:56,200
Speaker 1: break for the Titans. That means it's Kendrick Lewis's job

426
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:58,640
Speaker 1: for a while, right Yeah, and uh, you know he's

427
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,880
Speaker 1: ready for it. And Mike Able certainly knows Kendrick Lewis well,

428
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 1: not only from you know, past a couple of months

429
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:06,920
Speaker 1: around here, but this is one of those guys who

430
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,200
Speaker 1: was a former teammate of Mike Vrabels back in Kansas

431
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 1: City in twenty ten, you know, talked about him after practice.

432
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 1: Is his passion for the game, just how hard he works.

433
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 1: Kendrick Lewis is out of football last year, so he

434
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 1: acknowledged that, Hey, it means even more to me now

435
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:25,159
Speaker 1: after sitting out last year, So he's next man up. Obviously,

436
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 1: Dan Crookshank more involved moving forward. This team's taken a

437
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 1: hit at the safety position this season, first losing Ciprin

438
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:35,920
Speaker 1: and now down for Caro. But probably not a bad week.

439
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:38,359
Speaker 1: Never a good week to be without your stars, but

440
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 1: Buffalo is not necessarily challenging people downfield. You don't want

441
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 1: this to be the week to change that. But you know,

442
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 1: I think the Titans will be up for the Johns.

443
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:48,119
Speaker 1: I think Kendrick Luis will be up for the challenge.

444
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:51,919
Speaker 1: Be interesting to see. Trowick is another possibility at the

445
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 1: safety spot, although he's more of a special teams player,

446
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:58,359
Speaker 1: he's a two hundred and twenty five pounds safety. So

447
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:03,360
Speaker 1: if you wonder if at week's end they bring up

448
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 1: Damian Webb or Joshua Kalu from practice squad to give

449
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:12,639
Speaker 1: them some depth, because at this point they have Ryan

450
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:17,400
Speaker 1: Simms and Durden, along with Jackson and Butler at the corners,

451
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:23,160
Speaker 1: Lewis Bayard, Trowick and Crookshank at the safety spots, so

452
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 1: at this moment they have nine available defensive backs it's

453
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 1: not a team that plays as you mentioned, they don't

454
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:32,640
Speaker 1: play lots of four and five you know, crazy looks.

455
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 1: They're more traditional. But do they bring up one of

456
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:39,399
Speaker 1: their guys from the practice squad to provide that depth.

457
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 1: I would think that would be a Saturday move if

458
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 1: they choose to do it. Yeah, and I think it

459
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 1: will depend on how things look in practice. I know

460
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,879
Speaker 1: that is something that was mentioned on Mike Vrabel earlier

461
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 1: in the week, and what just kind of have to

462
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 1: see how it plays out. Quick note to the general manager,

463
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:58,119
Speaker 1: we cannot have Joshua Kalu and Kendrick Lewis, who the

464
00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:02,120
Speaker 1: head coach refers to as Kalu active at the same time.

465
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:07,680
Speaker 1: We cannot have got confused. I'm just saying that would

466
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 1: be a tragedy. We would not be able to It

467
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 1: was not a trade. The head coach referred to Klu

468
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 1: and he was talking about Kendrick Lewis, who of course

469
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 1: played in his first game this week in nearly two years.

470
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 1: I got confused and thought they were calling up Joshua

471
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:26,440
Speaker 1: Kalu and thank you for bringing my private mistakes out. No,

472
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 1: I was not. You offered that up. No, that was nice.

473
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:33,160
Speaker 1: I didn't offer it up on for the OTP. I

474
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:35,640
Speaker 1: was just saying thank you. That would be hard. Thank

475
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 1: you maneuver. All right, let's ask a serious question. What

476
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 1: do we think about Woodyard's chances? Do we know? Do

477
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:44,639
Speaker 1: we have any You know, he did not talk in

478
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 1: the locker room yesterday. I think he's taking the approach

479
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 1: if he's not practicing, he's not gonna talk publicly publicly

480
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 1: because a lot of questions obviously gonna be about the injury.

481
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 1: I know when Mike Vrabel discussed him on Monday, he

482
00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:00,920
Speaker 1: was somewhat optimistic about him not missing much time and

483
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,000
Speaker 1: was pretty clear that Vacaro is going to miss a

484
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. So that leads you to believe he

485
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:11,440
Speaker 1: has a chance. But with the play of John Brown, uh,

486
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 1: you know, if you've done a game, he's he's been really,

487
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 1: really good, and it's been he's been that way all offseason.

488
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:20,800
Speaker 1: So maybe that gives Wesley a chance to kind of

489
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:23,119
Speaker 1: take his time a little bit more. We'll see. I

490
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:25,680
Speaker 1: think today it'll be a good indicator if he's back

491
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:28,679
Speaker 1: out there on the practice field. Well, Wesley Woodyard's not

492
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:32,160
Speaker 1: necessarily a guy who needs to practice either. I mean,

493
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:34,400
Speaker 1: he could take a couple of days rest to make

494
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:38,240
Speaker 1: sure the shoulders feeling okay and still play on Sunday conceivably.

495
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:39,880
Speaker 1: I mean, the guys won in the league for eleven.

496
00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:43,399
Speaker 1: When you have a stinger, you normally lose strength in

497
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:45,919
Speaker 1: your arm and you need that and you need that

498
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:48,640
Speaker 1: to tackle. So you're you know, you're in the process

499
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:52,200
Speaker 1: that's going to return. But but just like with Marcus'

500
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:55,960
Speaker 1: situation with the fingers, when yeah, I mean, you don't

501
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:59,119
Speaker 1: you don't know that for sure. So we'll see. John

502
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:02,399
Speaker 1: Brown is our guest tonight on Pinnacle Financial Partners Titans

503
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:06,639
Speaker 1: Tonight with Keith Bullock, presented by Yeha Brewing Company. So

504
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:09,879
Speaker 1: that's six o'clock tonight on Titans Radio. He's gotten so

505
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:13,160
Speaker 1: he's a much better tackler. I mean he's physically he's

506
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 1: not the biggest guy around, but I think you know,

507
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:18,439
Speaker 1: his speed, we all knew he had. He's been you know,

508
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 1: he's been flying around ever since he got here. He

509
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 1: tackles really well in the open field. Really been impressed

510
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:27,640
Speaker 1: with him by the way. Practice squad doesn't always get

511
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 1: a lot of attention, but the Titans make three moves

512
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:35,679
Speaker 1: on practice squad that end up being quite interesting because

513
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:41,879
Speaker 1: all three players actually have NFL active roster experience. You

514
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 1: start with LaTroy Lewis, and people around here no LaTroy

515
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:48,640
Speaker 1: Lewis's name, because he played at Tennessee. He is an

516
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:52,919
Speaker 1: outside linebacker in the pros and he's probably playing the

517
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 1: position that he was meant to play. At Tennessee. He

518
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:58,960
Speaker 1: was a four three defensive end and just didn't really

519
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:02,120
Speaker 1: ever seem to fit there physically. He did some nice

520
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:05,159
Speaker 1: things for him. He was a solid player, but he

521
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:08,879
Speaker 1: played well for the Texans and will be somebody that

522
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 1: I think as he goes in the Titans now back

523
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 1: counting practice squad to six outside linebackers will be interesting

524
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 1: to see him have a chance to work and maybe

525
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:23,719
Speaker 1: fight his way towards this roster. The top five, Morgan

526
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 1: and a rackpo coming off their best games. You got

527
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 1: Krea back that was helpful. Harold Landry had a sack,

528
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:33,720
Speaker 1: played his best game. Finch had a sack. I like

529
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:37,120
Speaker 1: Sharif a lot and I think he's continuing to develop.

530
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 1: But LaTroy Lewis, that's a nice get at that spot

531
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 1: to help build depth. And then on the offensive side,

532
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:49,480
Speaker 1: a couple of pickups. Jamil Douglas, an offensive lineman who's

533
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:53,280
Speaker 1: played guard and tackle, started his career as a fourth

534
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 1: round pick of the Miami Dolphins. He's out of Arizona State.

535
00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 1: He's you know, he's a guy who's been around the

536
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 1: league's but again, seventeen games of NFL experience. So he's

537
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 1: the tenth man on the practice squad. The next guy

538
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:11,720
Speaker 1: is the one that really intrigues me, and that's Chad Hanson,

539
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 1: the second year receiver out of cow This is a

540
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 1: guy I followed a lot pre draft in seventeen because

541
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 1: I thought he might be a guy that the Titans

542
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 1: would go after. Turns out, of course, they took Corey

543
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 1: Davis and tay One Taylor, so they weren't going to

544
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 1: take a third receiver. But the Jets took him in

545
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 1: the fourth round. He is a very specific type of receiver,

546
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 1: almost feels perfect for this offense. He looked good on

547
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 1: the practice field yesterday too. I mean, he's a big guy,

548
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 1: and all those guys you mentioned. It's some of the

549
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 1: practice squad rules have evolved over the years. I think

550
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:51,760
Speaker 1: John Robins has done a really good job of getting

551
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 1: guys with experience, you know, we've we've seen years pass

552
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:57,560
Speaker 1: where when you call the guy from the practice squad,

553
00:29:57,560 --> 00:30:00,080
Speaker 1: he's playing in his first game that next week. He

554
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 1: can Now, you've got guys, as you mentioned, that have

555
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 1: NFL experience of played in games, and so all three

556
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 1: of those guys you mentioned pretty good. He gets see.

557
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 1: That's so John Robinson though, he's we talk about churning

558
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:17,000
Speaker 1: the bottom of that roster and just kind of keeping

559
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 1: a constant. It's always in motion. There's always a couple

560
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 1: of spots that kind of seem like they're moving around

561
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:25,720
Speaker 1: that could be for grabs. And he's bringing in people

562
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 1: who are good players. Yeah. This Chad Hanson though, I

563
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 1: mean he's six two two o two. He ran four

564
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 1: or five three at the Combine. He had one massive year.

565
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 1: It is a really strange story. Very lightly recruited player

566
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:44,080
Speaker 1: out of more Park, California. His only offer is Idaho State.

567
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:47,280
Speaker 1: So he goes to Idaho State. He catches forty five

568
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 1: passes and he says, you know what, I want to

569
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 1: play power five football. So he transfers to cow and

570
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 1: walks on seriously, walks on sits out fourteen. In fifteen

571
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:02,520
Speaker 1: he has nineteen catches and then in twenty sixteen, ninety

572
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 1: two catches over twelve hundred yards eleven touchdowns. Could have

573
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 1: stayed for a fifth year, chose to go pro fourth

574
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:13,720
Speaker 1: round selection of the Jets. Caught nine passes for the Jets.

575
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:18,120
Speaker 1: They cut him at the end of training camp. The

576
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 1: Patriots bring him in, they keep him for a week,

577
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:22,720
Speaker 1: let him go in. The Titans sign of him. He's

578
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 1: a specific type of receiver, but in this sort of system,

579
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:31,440
Speaker 1: that RAM system, the passing game that we saw last

580
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 1: Thursday night on TV, we saw some of the style

581
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 1: here on Sunday. You started to get an idea. Chad

582
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 1: Hanson is a guy that maybe one to watch in

583
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 1: terms of I'm not saying he's going to be one

584
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 1: of the starting receivers or anything. He's on the practice

585
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:49,160
Speaker 1: squad right now, but somebody to keep an eye on

586
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 1: because he may well fit what they want to do. Yeah,

587
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:55,600
Speaker 1: I agree, And certainly, you know, when that news was

588
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:58,440
Speaker 1: delivered or in the week, some of the you know,

589
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 1: some of the feedback on Twitter was people who obviously

590
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 1: familiar with his path and his ability, and it was

591
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:08,840
Speaker 1: pretty positive stuff. So first impression was a good one,

592
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:11,320
Speaker 1: you know, just watching him, just his physical build and

593
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 1: his ability to cast of football in practice yesterday, good

594
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:17,400
Speaker 1: looking player? Yes, all right? Excited time for Amy Wells

595
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 1: wonders a regular feature of the OTP every week since

596
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 1: we've done the show since nineteen fifty four, this has

597
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 1: been a part of it. Yes, actually, what is this

598
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 1: the fourth one? All right? Tradition out four weeks like another,

599
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 1: like none other. Hello friends, Okay, so what are you wondering?

600
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:43,000
Speaker 1: All right? Many people don't know Mike Keith Waite. Mike

601
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 1: Keith is a humble man. Wait a minute, but Mike

602
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 1: Keith is a man who is a man about town.

603
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:50,880
Speaker 1: He sees a lot of people. He does a lot

604
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 1: of things, and people don't know about the social calendar

605
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:58,600
Speaker 1: that is Mike keith social calendar. So Amy Wells wonders

606
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:02,719
Speaker 1: if Mike Keith is going to have a weekend in

607
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 1: the next couple of days like he did last weekend? Mike,

608
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:08,440
Speaker 1: would you like to tell the people who you were with?

609
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 1: Or shall I? Well? So the OTP presents Mike Keith

610
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:20,120
Speaker 1: and the Mannings. How about that? Okay, So I got

611
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 1: to be part of an event with Peyton and Archie

612
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 1: Manning to say brush with fame at the top to benefit,

613
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 1: I know, to benefit the Pat Summit Foundation, and Archie

614
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 1: and Peyton Manning came into town and they did two

615
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:37,600
Speaker 1: different events for the Pat Summit Foundation. They did a

616
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:42,600
Speaker 1: lunch at a beautiful facility known as Well Spire, and

617
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:46,560
Speaker 1: I mean it is a fantastic meeting and hosting facility,

618
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:49,520
Speaker 1: and it was a great venue. And I got to

619
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 1: do an hour of Q and A with the Mannings,

620
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:56,320
Speaker 1: which was obviously a big thrill for me because I

621
00:33:56,440 --> 00:34:00,480
Speaker 1: go back twenty five years with Peyton Manning and I

622
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 1: go back nearly thirty years with Archie Manning, and I'm

623
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:05,320
Speaker 1: not like best pals or anything, and I don't claim

624
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 1: to be, but I've had the pleasure, well I've had

625
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:10,719
Speaker 1: the pleasure of spending time with both of them, and

626
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 1: the thing that I will share and thank you to

627
00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:16,960
Speaker 1: the Peyton Manning Foundation for allowing me to be part

628
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:18,960
Speaker 1: of that and all the nice people who are there,

629
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 1: and to Well Speyer, a beautiful, like I said, just

630
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:25,560
Speaker 1: a fantastic place, one of the nicest places I've ever

631
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:29,120
Speaker 1: been to a luncheon. And I can't believe, I can't

632
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:31,360
Speaker 1: believe it. It's Nashville, but it's hard to believe. We

633
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 1: have a facility like that in this town. I mean,

634
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:38,359
Speaker 1: it's you walk in and you're just blown away. And

635
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:41,839
Speaker 1: then the first of all, I'm convinced of one thing

636
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:45,680
Speaker 1: with Peyton Manning. He isn't a band. Oh for sure,

637
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:49,160
Speaker 1: it's a band. A lot of people are wondering, Brad

638
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:52,280
Speaker 1: Paisley says, he's not in a band. Love you, Brad,

639
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 1: but it's clear to me it's a band. The other

640
00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:59,759
Speaker 1: thing is his dad is one of the classiest human

641
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:03,360
Speaker 1: that has ever walked the face of the earth. Archie

642
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:06,520
Speaker 1: Manning is just not I mean, it is easy to

643
00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:11,200
Speaker 1: see where Peyton gets it if you know his mom, Olivia,

644
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:14,520
Speaker 1: and you know his dad, Archie, And what an honor

645
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:16,319
Speaker 1: and what a pleasure. And the first time I ever

646
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:18,800
Speaker 1: met him in nineteen eighty nine, he was pure class

647
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:21,960
Speaker 1: and to this day he is pure class. And those

648
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,480
Speaker 1: two just mesmerized that whole room. I didn't have to

649
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:26,600
Speaker 1: do anything but just throw out a topic and they

650
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 1: went and as a fan, I could have gone ten

651
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:32,000
Speaker 1: hours with him. See that's a very cool thing. However,

652
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:35,720
Speaker 1: not the only famous person you were hanging out with nineteen.

653
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:38,160
Speaker 1: If we're going to do this, let's go all the

654
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:42,440
Speaker 1: way with Well on Sunday, and it was it was

655
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:46,240
Speaker 1: really thrilling to have Commissioner Roger Goodell back in town

656
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:49,040
Speaker 1: and I got to do a Q and A with him.

657
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:52,000
Speaker 1: And the lady who made it happen, obviously, is our owner,

658
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:56,000
Speaker 1: Amy Adam Strunk, who has tons of juice, and what

659
00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:59,680
Speaker 1: she's doing with this host committee for the two thousand

660
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:03,160
Speaker 1: nine NFL Draft and to get the Commissioner back here

661
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:05,560
Speaker 1: for the first time in nine years. And she held

662
00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:09,600
Speaker 1: a party for the NFL Draft host Committee in Nashville

663
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:12,879
Speaker 1: and all these movers and shakers were in the room.

664
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:15,960
Speaker 1: But to have the Commissioner there, I mean, Amy Adams

665
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:19,160
Speaker 1: Strunk can throw a big time party and this thing.

666
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:24,000
Speaker 1: Now we're at two hundred and three days from today,

667
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:27,359
Speaker 1: twenty nine weeks from today the draft Wow, and this

668
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:30,920
Speaker 1: group is doing something amazing and clearly the Commissioner was

669
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:34,560
Speaker 1: impressed with everything. And I think it just shows the

670
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:38,440
Speaker 1: evolution of not only Nashville and not only this place

671
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:41,400
Speaker 1: is an NFL market, but of the amount of respect

672
00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:45,360
Speaker 1: that Amy Adams Strunk has. Yeah, I agree, and uh,

673
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:48,600
Speaker 1: that is quite a weekend From Mike Keith. It's nice

674
00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:51,239
Speaker 1: here slumming with us here after hanging with hanging with

675
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:55,960
Speaker 1: the Mannings and the commissioner. Right now, it's not bad.

676
00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:58,760
Speaker 1: It was. It was quite a weak, but Amy Adam

677
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:01,960
Speaker 1: Strunk and the ownership group done a heck of a

678
00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:05,279
Speaker 1: lot of work to get to this point because obviously, uh,

679
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:07,320
Speaker 1: you know, there was a time not too long ago

680
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:10,160
Speaker 1: where this you know, needed to kind of change the

681
00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:13,480
Speaker 1: conversation about this team, about this franchise, which what kind

682
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:17,040
Speaker 1: of direction it was going. She stepped in, took control

683
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:19,759
Speaker 1: and has completely changed the look of things, not only

684
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:23,799
Speaker 1: from a local perspective, but a national perspective. And uh,

685
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:28,080
Speaker 1: you know, and that's inside of the NFL and the

686
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:30,360
Speaker 1: respect he has for her, and it's and it's with

687
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:33,480
Speaker 1: the fan base and all she has done and all

688
00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:36,960
Speaker 1: the efforts she's made to include the fans more, the

689
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:41,160
Speaker 1: work that she's done in helping rebuild this franchise and

690
00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:45,200
Speaker 1: this roster of the coaching staff, the general manager, the

691
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:47,520
Speaker 1: upgrades we've seen at the stadium, the upgrades we've seen

692
00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:49,840
Speaker 1: in this building. I mean, it's been an exhaust So

693
00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:53,640
Speaker 1: right here, this studio, this is her studio, So I mean,

694
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:57,000
Speaker 1: the whole the look of the franchise has completely changed

695
00:37:57,080 --> 00:38:00,200
Speaker 1: and she, you know, is the driving force behind all

696
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:02,680
Speaker 1: of this. And then this city is going to be

697
00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:05,719
Speaker 1: put on display here as you mentioned, not too far

698
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:08,640
Speaker 1: from now, and uh, it's going to be a home

699
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 1: run because and people love the city and this team

700
00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:14,240
Speaker 1: is now taken, you know, has a lot of momentum.

701
00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:16,560
Speaker 1: And I will say that everyone who came down to

702
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:19,280
Speaker 1: the uniform reveal and thought, oh, that was a cool party.

703
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:22,520
Speaker 1: You guys ain't seen nothing yet. But the draft is

704
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:26,279
Speaker 1: going to be the biggest party. It's going to be

705
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:29,359
Speaker 1: so much fun. Well, and she's committed to that, and

706
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:31,960
Speaker 1: that committee is committed to that. I mean, if you

707
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:35,520
Speaker 1: look who was in that tent before the game with

708
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 1: the commissioner, it's a fun group. It was an unbelievable

709
00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:41,799
Speaker 1: The governors there, the mayors there, Tim McGraw's there, John

710
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:44,520
Speaker 1: Ingram's there, on and on and on. Hettie George is

711
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:49,800
Speaker 1: on that committee. Yeah, and there's a total commitment from

712
00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:54,040
Speaker 1: everybody to make this the gold standard of drafts, that

713
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:57,840
Speaker 1: from here on out, every draft will be compared to

714
00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:01,120
Speaker 1: what Nashville did. And you say that and it sounds

715
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:05,880
Speaker 1: a bit haughty, Okay, Fine, it just does because Nashville

716
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:09,279
Speaker 1: does this better than anybody, And in talking to the

717
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:13,160
Speaker 1: Commissioner about it, just briefly, I think he gets the

718
00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:17,319
Speaker 1: level of commitment. You know, he was impressed at who

719
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:20,040
Speaker 1: all was there and that how hard this group has

720
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:24,360
Speaker 1: been working for four months and now with you know,

721
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:27,279
Speaker 1: roughly seven months, a little less than seven months to go.

722
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 1: It's it's going to be exciting. But I think it

723
00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:34,360
Speaker 1: also and listen, we work for so you know, everybody

724
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:38,200
Speaker 1: understands that. But in talking with Titans fans, I think

725
00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:40,719
Speaker 1: they will understand I'm not saying this because I have

726
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 1: to or I'm looking for a raise or anything like that,

727
00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:48,799
Speaker 1: although that would be nice if you're listening. But they

728
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:54,160
Speaker 1: the Titans fans love how prominent she is becoming. They

729
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:58,360
Speaker 1: love having an owner that seems to be moving towards

730
00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:03,000
Speaker 1: that group of owner that fans know and and granted,

731
00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:06,680
Speaker 1: mister Kraft is one thing, and mister Jones and all

732
00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:09,880
Speaker 1: of these other guys who've been doing it for years

733
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:14,879
Speaker 1: and years and years, but clearly having an owner with

734
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:19,880
Speaker 1: um what's the right word for it, a presence that

735
00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:23,880
Speaker 1: you know who she is, you understand it. She's got juice,

736
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:27,320
Speaker 1: she's got Jews here. She's got juice with the league.

737
00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:29,720
Speaker 1: She I mean, the ball club seems to have Jews

738
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:32,759
Speaker 1: right now. If you root for the ball club, that's

739
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:34,680
Speaker 1: what you want your owner to be, right, no doubt.

740
00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:36,400
Speaker 1: And she's out there. I mean, she's taught by the

741
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:38,920
Speaker 1: tailgate in Kansas City and meets met with fans. She

742
00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:41,800
Speaker 1: does that on a regular basis. You watch her heading

743
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:43,880
Speaker 1: into stadiums. People know where people want to meet her.

744
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:47,680
Speaker 1: She wants to meet people, right. So it's it's it's

745
00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:51,319
Speaker 1: a great leadership, no question for this franchise. And uh

746
00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:55,239
Speaker 1: and um, certainly the draft is going to be great.

747
00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:57,280
Speaker 1: I mean, and we've been to a lot of these,

748
00:40:57,400 --> 00:41:00,800
Speaker 1: you know, whether it was in Dallas or Philadelphia, your Chicago.

749
00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:03,759
Speaker 1: And this is not just a local event where just

750
00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:05,839
Speaker 1: Nashvillians are coming out for this thing. People are gonna

751
00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:08,640
Speaker 1: be coming from all over the country. And Nashville is

752
00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:12,920
Speaker 1: a destination city and people will find out even more

753
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:14,759
Speaker 1: about the city when it's put on display. Do you

754
00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:16,600
Speaker 1: know what the commissioner wanted to talk about? What do

755
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:19,879
Speaker 1: you want to talk about the first month of the season? Really? Yeah,

756
00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:23,480
Speaker 1: could it have been any better for the NFL? Realistically?

757
00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:27,080
Speaker 1: And you told me the top fifteen programs on TV,

758
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:31,239
Speaker 1: the top fifteen single shows were all NFL games. The

759
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:34,960
Speaker 1: number one program is Sunday Night Football. You got all

760
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:39,080
Speaker 1: these young quarterbacks just going off. Thursday Night Football had

761
00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:42,160
Speaker 1: more good games than they've ever had. Monday Night Football

762
00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:49,440
Speaker 1: has had storylines. Sunday Night touchdowns. I mean, you know,

763
00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:54,480
Speaker 1: Cleveland's gotta win. The Rams are showtime, which is exactly

764
00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:56,319
Speaker 1: if you're the league what you want to see in

765
00:41:56,480 --> 00:42:00,920
Speaker 1: la Patrick Mahomes, Oh my goodness, is he the deal?

766
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:04,840
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're the commissioner, you're feeling pretty good

767
00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:07,600
Speaker 1: after the league had been you know, kind of beating

768
00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:10,399
Speaker 1: on a little bit. Ratings are down all this. I mean,

769
00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:13,080
Speaker 1: what a positive month to the start of the season

770
00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:15,040
Speaker 1: for the National Football Yeah, it's been great. I mean

771
00:42:15,120 --> 00:42:18,320
Speaker 1: what they say the demise of the league greatly exaggerated.

772
00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:20,440
Speaker 1: I mean, that's a couple. I mean, it wasn't too

773
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:23,440
Speaker 1: long ago when that was the narrative, and it's completely

774
00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:27,600
Speaker 1: changed now it's on far and it's been an exciting season.

775
00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:32,080
Speaker 1: It's entertaining. People love Bob and people will always love football.

776
00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:34,279
Speaker 1: That's just what it is. It's a good game. It's

777
00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:37,360
Speaker 1: a passionate game. It's exciting when you can get the

778
00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:39,919
Speaker 1: exciting games like the Titans have had and so many

779
00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:44,200
Speaker 1: other teams have had. It's why would you not watch it? Well,

780
00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:47,120
Speaker 1: it's so nice for the Titans, though, with all this

781
00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:49,239
Speaker 1: going on around the league, to be a part of it.

782
00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:51,880
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, we're to be to be in the

783
00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:55,080
Speaker 1: middle of it and to be three in one and

784
00:42:55,400 --> 00:43:00,239
Speaker 1: have these things going on. And now to Buffalo, an

785
00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:05,120
Speaker 1: original AFL opponent that this team certainly knows well, that

786
00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:08,520
Speaker 1: this team certainly has a lot of history with And

787
00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:12,080
Speaker 1: the Bills have a young quarterback in Josh Allen that

788
00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:14,680
Speaker 1: we had a chance to see at the Senior Bowl.

789
00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:18,719
Speaker 1: And I mean this kid has an arm. I mean

790
00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:21,839
Speaker 1: it is he and Mahomes. According to Dave McGinnis, he

791
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:27,000
Speaker 1: and Mahomes have the two best just flat arms in

792
00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:31,040
Speaker 1: the league. It's like a seeing Baker Mayfield throw at

793
00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:34,600
Speaker 1: the Senior Bowl was awesome. Seeing this kid throw was

794
00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:37,600
Speaker 1: to a whole different level because of his arm strength. Yeah,

795
00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:40,120
Speaker 1: and this team's gonna have to pressure him and pick

796
00:43:40,239 --> 00:43:43,759
Speaker 1: spots to, you know, throughout the game to try to

797
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:47,359
Speaker 1: confuse him. They're not great at the receiver position. I mean,

798
00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:50,279
Speaker 1: obviously they've got some some talented guys. It just has

799
00:43:50,320 --> 00:43:53,360
Speaker 1: not worked out for him yet. Part of that's because

800
00:43:53,520 --> 00:43:56,719
Speaker 1: of the chemistry that's just not there yet, right with

801
00:43:56,840 --> 00:44:00,600
Speaker 1: the young quarterback and Kelvin Benjamin's a physical specimens. It's

802
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:02,920
Speaker 1: a fifty fifty ball every time it's come to him,

803
00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:05,040
Speaker 1: and it comes to him, and he's gonna win a

804
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:09,000
Speaker 1: lot of those battles. But you know, Titans need to

805
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:13,000
Speaker 1: go up there and fluster him a little bit like

806
00:44:13,120 --> 00:44:15,200
Speaker 1: some other teams have done. He's gonna be a great

807
00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:17,160
Speaker 1: player in this league. I have no question about that.

808
00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:20,680
Speaker 1: And they threw him into the fire here early. He's

809
00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:24,560
Speaker 1: extremely talented, but teams have figured out a way so

810
00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:28,000
Speaker 1: far to keep him from killing him. Your thoughts on

811
00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:30,440
Speaker 1: the Bills Amy Worlds. I think I'm excited to go

812
00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:32,399
Speaker 1: up there and play against them. I think that they

813
00:44:32,440 --> 00:44:37,160
Speaker 1: haven't had the outcomes that they've wanted in most of

814
00:44:37,200 --> 00:44:41,640
Speaker 1: their games, but they had one against Minnesota to Minnesota

815
00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:45,080
Speaker 1: and one we've never done that. Minnesota helped him, I mean,

816
00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:47,480
Speaker 1: well with some turnover. That's what this team can't do,

817
00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:50,560
Speaker 1: is turned the ball over early and get in a

818
00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:53,680
Speaker 1: hole and get those people up there jacked up and excited.

819
00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:56,399
Speaker 1: But when you go up there and win, I don't

820
00:44:56,400 --> 00:44:58,280
Speaker 1: care how you do it. It It gets my attention because

821
00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:00,840
Speaker 1: every time we've ever gone to Minnesota, it's been a disaster.

822
00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:05,480
Speaker 1: I mean it has been oh guy, the giant guy

823
00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:10,080
Speaker 1: riding the motorcycle, you know, I mean, just a whole

824
00:45:10,360 --> 00:45:13,920
Speaker 1: It's it's like nightmarish. But it will be interesting to

825
00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:17,879
Speaker 1: see how this Titans team responds to actually being favorite game.

826
00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:20,040
Speaker 1: This is the first time that they're going into a

827
00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:23,200
Speaker 1: game where they are not expected to be underdogs by

828
00:45:23,239 --> 00:45:25,720
Speaker 1: a large well. And this is a good defense too,

829
00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:29,120
Speaker 1: because Sean McDermott is a really good defense he's the

830
00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:32,319
Speaker 1: head coach, and he's a really good defensive mind. They've

831
00:45:32,360 --> 00:45:35,160
Speaker 1: got a guy named Jerry Hughes who was originally drafted

832
00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:37,480
Speaker 1: by the Colts, was the first round pick of the Colts,

833
00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:40,319
Speaker 1: who's playing well rushing the passer for him right now.

834
00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:43,680
Speaker 1: A veteran Kyle Williams who's been in the league for

835
00:45:43,760 --> 00:45:49,160
Speaker 1: thirteen years, a really good defensive tackle. Lorenzo Alexander has

836
00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:51,920
Speaker 1: become a Pro bowler in his mid thirties, and he

837
00:45:51,960 --> 00:45:56,320
Speaker 1: plays outside linebacker. And then maybe one of my three

838
00:45:56,440 --> 00:46:00,480
Speaker 1: play favorite players in last year's draft I had. I

839
00:46:00,520 --> 00:46:05,239
Speaker 1: was big into linebackers last year, Tremaine Edmonds from Virginia Tech.

840
00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:09,200
Speaker 1: Farrell Edmonds used played tight end for the Dolphins. This

841
00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:13,919
Speaker 1: is his son six five two fifty twenty years old

842
00:46:13,960 --> 00:46:17,600
Speaker 1: playing middle linebacker for them right now. Leads of the

843
00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:20,759
Speaker 1: tackles and uh and they are stout, you know, defensively,

844
00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:24,640
Speaker 1: they play hard. Mike Vrabel raved about them after practice yesterday.

845
00:46:24,200 --> 00:46:27,759
Speaker 1: They're gonna keep them in games. Uh So the Titans

846
00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:29,359
Speaker 1: Gayvis gonna have to go up there and play well.

847
00:46:29,400 --> 00:46:31,600
Speaker 1: You keep thinking everybody's asking about the running game. We

848
00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:34,680
Speaker 1: talk about that and there's really uh, you know, have

849
00:46:34,880 --> 00:46:37,480
Speaker 1: not been an easy matchup to try to get the

850
00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:40,680
Speaker 1: running game going, and there's this is not an agin Yeah,

851
00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:44,800
Speaker 1: that's what McDermott does because McDermott's from that Jim Johnson school.

852
00:46:45,239 --> 00:46:48,160
Speaker 1: He was with Jim Johnson, the late defensive coordinator from

853
00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:50,359
Speaker 1: the Eagles for years and it's like, we're just not

854
00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:52,279
Speaker 1: gonna let you run the ball. You can do, you

855
00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:54,279
Speaker 1: can do whatever else you you want to try go

856
00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:57,400
Speaker 1: for that, but we are not. It's exactly the same

857
00:46:57,480 --> 00:47:00,320
Speaker 1: challenge as going against the Jim Schwartz defense, So you

858
00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:03,120
Speaker 1: got to find ways to make plays throwing the football

859
00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:05,320
Speaker 1: kind of keep them off balance. I think the Titans

860
00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:10,040
Speaker 1: defensively will keep it keep the Bills in check, but

861
00:47:10,080 --> 00:47:11,879
Speaker 1: they can score points. And they put together a good

862
00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:14,080
Speaker 1: drive and get some Minnesota and created turnovers and got

863
00:47:14,160 --> 00:47:16,080
Speaker 1: some touchdowns out way, and that was enough. You got

864
00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:17,920
Speaker 1: to go up there and figure out a way to

865
00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:22,880
Speaker 1: jump on them early. And and there's some great history

866
00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:24,520
Speaker 1: here when you think about the Bills, and you know,

867
00:47:24,600 --> 00:47:28,200
Speaker 1: all the way back to the comeback game with the Oilers.

868
00:47:28,200 --> 00:47:30,760
Speaker 1: Obviously that's still the sore subject for some people who've

869
00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:33,640
Speaker 1: been in this organization for a long time. But between

870
00:47:33,680 --> 00:47:36,080
Speaker 1: that and the Music City Miracle, going back up there

871
00:47:36,120 --> 00:47:38,040
Speaker 1: and that start of the two thousands, even after the

872
00:47:38,080 --> 00:47:41,960
Speaker 1: miracle game and all the emotions that went with that contest,

873
00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:47,680
Speaker 1: it's it's always fun to play the Bills. It's an

874
00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:51,640
Speaker 1: unusual place to play. Yeah, the crowd is very into it.

875
00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:55,600
Speaker 1: It's always really windy in a strange way. Whether the

876
00:47:55,640 --> 00:47:59,160
Speaker 1: temperature is warm or cold or in between, it's very windy.

877
00:47:59,560 --> 00:48:02,480
Speaker 1: Nothing is normal about this experience, and so when you

878
00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:06,080
Speaker 1: walk in there, You're like, Okay, we've got to come

879
00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:09,200
Speaker 1: with our a game. Titans have won there, yeah, and

880
00:48:09,680 --> 00:48:13,200
Speaker 1: so it can be done. But it's you know, I

881
00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:15,920
Speaker 1: understand the records and who's favored in all this, but

882
00:48:16,080 --> 00:48:18,319
Speaker 1: I mean, if places that you have to go. When

883
00:48:18,320 --> 00:48:20,920
Speaker 1: I saw the schedule, it's like, Okay, you got Buffalo

884
00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:24,040
Speaker 1: in between Philadelphia and Baltimore and you have to go

885
00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:26,960
Speaker 1: to Buffalo. It's a tough trip. I've never been. I'm

886
00:48:27,040 --> 00:48:30,160
Speaker 1: very excited about going and experiencing that and eating some

887
00:48:30,239 --> 00:48:34,640
Speaker 1: chicken wings Niagara Falls. Maybe I'm thinking about it. Seeing

888
00:48:34,640 --> 00:48:37,359
Speaker 1: the site, it's something. See. You know, we've and we've

889
00:48:37,400 --> 00:48:39,440
Speaker 1: got some really good I mean the Vince Young gott

890
00:48:39,440 --> 00:48:43,200
Speaker 1: it a comeback win against Buffalo up there one year.

891
00:48:43,239 --> 00:48:45,279
Speaker 1: I think CJ had a big game the Christmas Eve

892
00:48:45,360 --> 00:48:48,920
Speaker 1: two thousand and six. Yes, that's that's exactly right. And

893
00:48:48,920 --> 00:48:50,720
Speaker 1: there's a warm day. I mean, you look at Buffalo

894
00:48:50,760 --> 00:48:53,680
Speaker 1: on the schedule on Christmas Eve and and you think,

895
00:48:53,800 --> 00:48:55,600
Speaker 1: is it gonna be miserable? It was probably seven degrees

896
00:48:55,719 --> 00:48:58,520
Speaker 1: up there. That's when v Y broke the run, scored

897
00:48:58,560 --> 00:49:02,440
Speaker 1: with one second left in the first half. Yes, and

898
00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:07,680
Speaker 1: the Bills actually came back and got a play. They

899
00:49:07,719 --> 00:49:11,919
Speaker 1: had a jump ball right before halftime with and ended

900
00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:14,400
Speaker 1: up kicking a field goal there because of a penalty.

901
00:49:14,480 --> 00:49:16,839
Speaker 1: Was a strange game. Titans went thirty to twenty nine.

902
00:49:17,320 --> 00:49:22,360
Speaker 1: Ray Hill intercepted JP Lossman on what was basically the

903
00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:25,640
Speaker 1: last play of the game. Ronaldo Hill picked him off

904
00:49:25,680 --> 00:49:29,879
Speaker 1: because the wind was blowing so hard. The Bills could

905
00:49:29,960 --> 00:49:32,880
Speaker 1: not try a field goal, just a normal link field

906
00:49:32,880 --> 00:49:35,640
Speaker 1: goal because there's no way the ball would have made it.

907
00:49:35,920 --> 00:49:39,560
Speaker 1: They were having trouble. Craig Hendrick was having trouble getting

908
00:49:39,560 --> 00:49:43,280
Speaker 1: the snap from center on field goals and extra points

909
00:49:43,640 --> 00:49:46,799
Speaker 1: because it was blowing the ball away from him just

910
00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:50,239
Speaker 1: during the snap. Wow, it was crazy. As I remember well, Guy,

911
00:49:50,320 --> 00:49:53,759
Speaker 1: I still remember on a personal notice, is that Christmas Eve,

912
00:49:53,760 --> 00:49:56,120
Speaker 1: As you mentioned, trying to get back here for midnight

913
00:49:56,200 --> 00:49:58,080
Speaker 1: Mass after that game. I was before I was working

914
00:49:58,080 --> 00:50:00,480
Speaker 1: for the team. I don't get that flight back sprinting

915
00:50:00,480 --> 00:50:02,960
Speaker 1: through the airport with Roscolle Parish used to play for

916
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:05,040
Speaker 1: the Bills that play at the University of Miami. I

917
00:50:05,080 --> 00:50:08,160
Speaker 1: think we were on the same connection, uh, and made

918
00:50:08,200 --> 00:50:11,239

957
00:52:26,560 --> 00:52:29,640

967
00:52:57,880 --> 00:53:01,560
