Speaker 1: than you think. Visit FBHP dot com. Four downs from

5
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 1: the Titans win last night over the Green Bay Packers

6
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:33,880
Speaker 1: twenty seven to seventeen. Amy Wells and Rhett Bryan are here.

7
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 1: I am Mike Keith. First down, is your play that

8
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 1: turned the game? Amy Wells? You take it first? Mike Keith?

9
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 1: Can I cheat just right off the top? Sure? Because

10
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 1: this is not a play, it's a series of plays,

11
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,199
Speaker 1: and essentially it's an entire quarter. So I need you

12
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:52,159
Speaker 1: to just bear with me because I think that there

13
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:54,320
Speaker 1: are a lot of things that happened in the second

14
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 1: quarter that contribute to my bigger points. So just a

15
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 1: refresher and very clipton version of what happened in the

16
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 1: second quarter. The Tessee Titans had an incredible drive that

17
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:08,039
Speaker 1: spanned ten minutes. They moved almost the entire length of

18
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 1: the field, They ran what nineteen plays, but then they

19
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 1: generated zero points and it was incredibly disappointing and it

20
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 1: felt like a huge momentum stop first red zone possession

21
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 1: of the year that did not produce points. There you go,

22
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 1: see that only helps my case, Sarah Mike Keith. So

23
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 1: then the Titans defense comes on the field and holds

24
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: Green Bay to a three and out series. I mean,

25
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 1: they do nothing, and that accomplishment by the Titans defense

26
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 1: then brings the Titans offense back on the field. They're

27
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 1: able to put together a significant drive. They end up

28
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 1: putting points on the board, getting a touchdown right before

29
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 1: the end of the first half, and you just felt

30
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 1: like in that series of events, the Tennessee Titans had

31
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 1: a complete football team on the field. It felt like

32
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: the Titans defense was able to cure the momentum that

33
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 1: was almost lost. You're seeing both sides of the ball contribute.

34
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 1: That quarter was a microcosm of the whole game, which

35
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 1: was both sides of the ball are going to be

36
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: involved in this game, and they're going to be working

37
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: together to make this a successful day for the Titans.

38
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 1: So I couldn't pick a single play out of that

39
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 1: because every single thing impacted the next thing. Well, because

40
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 1: it was Dylan for a run up the middle for one,

41
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: Dylan up the middle for three, and then Rogers with

42
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 1: the intentional grounding at the half yard line. That was

43
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 1: nearly a safety, right and to get him off the

44
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,119
Speaker 1: field right there, that's what I was going to pick.

45
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 1: I was going to pick the Rogers grounding because it

46
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,080
Speaker 1: was such a big moment. Let me just ask you

47
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: a question and just answer honestly. If you're a Mike

48
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 1: Vrabel and you have fourth and a little bit more

49
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 1: than a yard do you kick it right there and

50
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 1: make it ten to six? Or do you go for it?

51
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 1: What do you say? Rit go for it? You go

52
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: for it. Yeah, you've got Derek henry Man. I think

53
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 1: I go for it too. I would say I would

54
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 1: go for it in that situation. In some games I

55
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 1: would kick it right But in that game I would

56
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,639
Speaker 1: have gone for it too. I understood the decision. So

57
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 1: when they went for it and they didn't make it,

58
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 1: I didn't feel like they had missed an opportunity. I

59
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: felt like, well, that's what you should do. You should

60
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 1: go for it in that situation because it just felt

61
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 1: like being aggressive was going to be the play you

62
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 1: had to make on the road in Green Bay. And

63
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,119
Speaker 1: so when they stopped him, got it back and went

64
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:33,799
Speaker 1: in and scored, to me, it validated that decision. Absolutely,

65
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: And to your point, it was an eighteen play, sixty

66
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 1: two yard drive that stalled and died at the Green

67
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 1: Bay six yard line. So yeah, you're right there knocking

68
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 1: on the door. Yeah, I would have gone for it

69
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 1: right there. Well, I just thought, even like the interception

70
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: that came later when it was twenty seven to seventeen,

71
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 1: and I'm sure there were a lot of people who went, oh, man,

72
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: why are you why throw the ball right there? Well,

73
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: my feeling being in the stadium, and sometimes you get

74
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: a very differ feeling being in the stadium, just like

75
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 1: going for it right there. It's like, yeah, throw the ball, Okay. Yeah,

76
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 1: it was a bad pass. Guy dropped off into coverage.

77
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: It was the only big mistake Tannehill made the whole night.

78
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 1: But it didn't feel like they had just lost the game.

79
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,720
Speaker 1: If you were there, it felt like, Okay, we're gonna

80
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 1: go right back out and get the ball back. And

81
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:24,239
Speaker 1: that's what they did. And I think when you're playing

82
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 1: in that way, when you're saying they weren't playing recklessly,

83
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 1: they were just playing aggressively. And I liked it. I mean,

84
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 1: as hot as your quarterback is right there, draw men.

85
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: See if you get that touchdown make it a three

86
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 1: score game. Yeah, I was a pick, and I think

87
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:45,239
Speaker 1: everybody at home was probably of the expectation, Aaron Rodgers

88
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,239
Speaker 1: is gonna take it down the field and the Titans

89
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: are gonna lose this game thirty one to twenty seven.

90
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 1: I get it, but it never felt like it in

91
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 1: the stadium. It felt like the Titans were the better

92
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 1: team and they had made a mistake there and now

93
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:00,279
Speaker 1: they were gonna make up for it, and they did.

94
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: It felt like the Titans were fully in control of

95
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 1: that game, even if statistically it doesn't look that way

96
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 1: necessarily when you look at the numbers afterwards, it felt

97
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 1: like the Tennessee Titans were driving the ship all night,

98
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 1: all night long, but especially after that second quarter. That

99
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 1: was kind of the mark where I was like, oh,

100
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 1: this is the Titans game and it turned out to

101
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 1: be the case. All right, Rhett, your play that turned

102
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 1: the game mine is the first play of the fourth quarter,

103
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 1: because we thought this Ryan Tannehill pass to Austin Hooper

104
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 1: was eventually early on was an incompletion, and I remember

105
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,479
Speaker 1: you saying, you're in the broadcast, I wonder if Mike

106
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 1: Rabele's going to challenge this and well, let me let

107
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,600
Speaker 1: me just set it for folks from our standpoint. So

108
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 1: they throw down the middle to Hooper in the end

109
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:56,719
Speaker 1: zone and the ball obviously has come out and Rudy Ford,

110
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,039
Speaker 1: a defensive back, is running the other way with it,

111
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 1: and the official immediately signals incomplete pass. For us, we

112
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 1: don't have a real time look at it outside of

113
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 1: just seeing the game. So when the ball's out and

114
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 1: the official is signaling incomplete pass, that's what we're going

115
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 1: with because that's all we know. If it had been

116
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 1: at Nissan Stadium, where the press box is much lower,

117
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 1: might have had a better natural look at it. But

118
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,719
Speaker 1: then when they went to replay, which I think they

119
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: thought in stadium they were doing to help themselves, it

120
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 1: turns out Hooper has caught the ball, is laying on

121
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 1: his back with complete possession of the ball, and while

122
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 1: the play is dead, meaning he's caught it in the

123
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: end zone, play is over, Ford rips it out and

124
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 1: runs the other way. Well for the official, I could

125
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 1: see where it was a strange view because it just

126
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 1: looked it was sort of a bang bang there, and

127
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,919
Speaker 1: I thought, give New York credit. They just said, nope,

128
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 1: we see it. We can save you the time. This

129
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,480
Speaker 1: is a national television game. We want to keep it moving.

130
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 1: It's a touchdown, yeah, and you know, but it was

131
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 1: a It was a bizarre circumstance because Rabels got to

132
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 1: challenge flag out, ready to go, and all of a sudden,

133
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 1: here comes Bill Vanovitch with word that he's gotten in

134
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 1: his ear that New York has overruled it. It was

135
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: a situation of all of the kind of systems that

136
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 1: they have put in place actually working. But there are

137
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: some people who don't like the fact that Big Brother

138
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 1: can just chime in whenever they want to. I liked

139
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 1: it last night. Yeah, I like it when it works

140
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 1: for us, I understand, but I'm saying no, I totally

141
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 1: understand what their conspiracy theorists and others. And then there

142
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 1: are people who are just genuinely concerned that we're going

143
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 1: to have more than seven officials on the field, that

144
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 1: we actually have ten or fifteen officials on the field,

145
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 1: jounting people in New York just making ruling right. But

146
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 1: I think that I think that for where we are

147
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 1: with officiating right now and the way that we are

148
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 1: seeing it evolve, and the way that they are trying

149
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 1: so desperately to find people to be officials, and they're

150
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 1: trying to get more people in the system. I think

151
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 1: you almost need for a while some extra sets of

152
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 1: eyes to make sure that. I don't see it as

153
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 1: a big brother situation. I see it as quality control,

154
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 1: and I think that's what the league wants it to be.

155
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 1: So maybe I'm just a sucker, but I see it

156
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,719
Speaker 1: as quality control. The one thing I would say to

157
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 1: agree with what Mike is saying, though, even for the

158
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 1: hardcore fan all the way to the conspiracy theorist, there

159
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 1: is the reason I think that drives that line of thought.

160
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,560
Speaker 1: Think about this, what's the one thing. The NFL is

161
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 1: not transparent, and they'll never show you the inside of

162
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 1: that control room in New York where they're doing all

163
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 1: this stuff. For these games especially, was just one game.

164
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,680
Speaker 1: You're the show like you were last night, and so

165
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 1: there's a concentrated effort there. So I can see where

166
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 1: you can easily go down that rabbit trail. So you know,

167
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 1: but again it worked in the Titans favor. I thought

168
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 1: it was the play because it was great because you

169
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,680
Speaker 1: went back out point pending ten points in front of

170
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 1: Mike Vrabel didn't have to use the challenge flag. And

171
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 1: I thought when that happened, because this is still before

172
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:28,199
Speaker 1: the Tannehill interception, but I still thought, this is the

173
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 1: kind of thing it's going to take to get this

174
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 1: done right, to get the win, and and and he did.

175
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 1: And it really took away from the fact that it

176
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 1: was a great throw by Tannehill, and it was a

177
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 1: super catch by Hooper and it was a really big

178
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 1: play because what went on after it took away some

179
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 1: of what should have been the drama in the moment.

180
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 1: Although again I'll have to say I don't really blame

181
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 1: the official because I can see in real time how

182
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 1: you could not tell. And he was very definitive, came

183
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 1: running in with an incomplete pass signal, and so on radio,

184
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 1: that's what I went with, you know, I'm just saying, okay,

185
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 1: it's an incomplete pass because he was very definitive. He

186
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 1: was not chasing forward with the ball. They're running up

187
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 1: the sidelines and that went on for quite a while.

188
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:21,319
Speaker 1: He ran pretty far and they're flowing whistles, and there

189
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 1: was a certain moment I thought to myself, am I

190
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 1: living outside my body? Am I missing something here? Because

191
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 1: there's all this stuff happening and they've just signaled incomplete pass.

192
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 1: And then when you saw like the third replay, there

193
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 1: was a shot where it became very obvious that Austin

194
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 1: Hooper had caught the ball and was laying on his back.

195
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 1: But to your defense, and you said this on the broadcast,

196
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 1: there was a there was also a couple angles where

197
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 1: it looked like it could have been right a turnover,

198
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 1: So then you want to be like, he might have

199
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 1: been juggling it, Yeah, and Ford ripped it away from it, right,

200
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 1: So then you want to be careful about calling for

201
00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 1: a review, and then it doesn't go in your favorite

202
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,559
Speaker 1: the other way, because yeah, what if Mike Vrabel had

203
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:08,079
Speaker 1: said challenge flag and it turns out Hooper was juggling

204
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 1: it and it's a turnover, and you've lost a challenge, Right,

205
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 1: You've lost a challenge and you've lost the ball in

206
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 1: the end zone. Because the one thing I noticed last

207
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,840
Speaker 1: night as when it got to twenty to nine and

208
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 1: they had an eleven point advantage, that Lambo crowd got

209
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 1: very quiet, very quiet, they're frustrated. And when that happened

210
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:29,320
Speaker 1: again to go back to a ten point lead again,

211
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:31,679
Speaker 1: it was like the win was let out of their sales.

212
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 1: They're a very interactive crowd, the Packers fan base here.

213
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:40,320
Speaker 1: I mean it's a very intimate experience there. They're chatting

214
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,960
Speaker 1: with the players, they're chatting with people on the field.

215
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 1: I mean they're they're very involved, like it's a community

216
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 1: of football. Yeah question, all right, So my play that

217
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 1: we're still on first name, My play that turned the

218
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 1: game was the first Trailing Burke's deep ball, the forty

219
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 1: three yarder, and I thought it set a tone for

220
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 1: the whole night. I thought it set a tone for

221
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 1: Trailing Burks. I thought it set a tone for Ryan

222
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 1: Tannehill and for the Titans to go down and score

223
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 1: and take the lead less than five minutes into the game.

224
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:14,439
Speaker 1: I thought that was a huge factor. On a Thursday night,

225
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 1: Mike Vrabel had been talking about energy, and when we

226
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 1: watched the team go out for the walkthroughs on Tuesday

227
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 1: and Wednesday, and that's all they were. They weren't real

228
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 1: practiced as they were walkthroughs. Yet the players were still

229
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 1: running around, they were still running station to station. They

230
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 1: were still even though it was not full speed and

231
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 1: pads and everything, they were still energetic. It was not

232
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 1: a typical walkthrough situation where things at a jog or

233
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 1: a half speed. I mean, these guys were trying to

234
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 1: get going and by scoring early that gave them that

235
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 1: burst of energy. And I thought the trailing Burks play

236
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 1: was what started great night for that young man. Had

237
00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 1: thirteen for one fifty three going into that game. Obviously

238
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:04,839
Speaker 1: miss four games with the turf toe, but you kind

239
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 1: of felt like because he was getting towards this before

240
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 1: the turf tooe happened, had a nice you know, showing

241
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 1: against the Broncos, but really turned it up and turned

242
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 1: it up under the bright lights. Well and the two

243
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,080
Speaker 1: deep balls I mean for him to get over the

244
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:23,839
Speaker 1: top twice and sort of proved the theory we've been

245
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,959
Speaker 1: talking about in terms of the difference he can make

246
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 1: in the offense. He's a special young man and I

247
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 1: think he's going to be a really good player for

248
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 1: this team. And he showed that to a lot of

249
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:38,080
Speaker 1: people on national streaming last night. I guess not really

250
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,680
Speaker 1: national television, A lot of people stream on their TVs.

251
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 1: That's true. Yeah, all right. Second down is the stat

252
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,839
Speaker 1: that grabbed your attention, Reet Bryant. I get this one

253
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 1: courtesy of a former Titan Jared Peyton, son of the

254
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 1: great Hall of Famer Walter Payton, and I thought this

255
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 1: was very interesting. Derek Henry is the first player with

256
00:13:56,160 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 1: twenty plus carries, two plus completions, passing, a rushing and

257
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 1: a passing touchdown in a game since nineteen eighty three,

258
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 1: and the last person to do that Walter Payton. You

259
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 1: got it. But I'm like, wow, what a crazy stat.

260
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 1: The King did Kingley things last night. Kingley things. That's good, right,

261
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 1: Mine seems very juvenile compared to that. That's a very

262
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 1: good football stat. There's history, there's all kinds of good things.

263
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 1: Mine's pretty lame, but I think it's important. Nonetheless, the

264
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 1: Titans scored four touchdowns. That's the most points the Tsee

265
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 1: Titans have scored all season. Sure, that really catches my

266
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 1: attention because week after week we've been saying the Titans

267
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 1: need to score more points. And it sounds like a

268
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 1: very basic thing, but you've got to put points on

269
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 1: the board to win the ballgame. And this is an

270
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 1: example of the Titans offense finally generating the momentum being

271
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 1: as effective as we need them to be. This is

272
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans continuing to grow throughout the season, right,

273
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 1: you hit it right. I mean the points thing. While

274
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 1: it is oftentimes kind of a it sounds like it's

275
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 1: obvious low hanging fruit. Well it sounds like it, but

276
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 1: it's really not. Because the teams that make the playoffs

277
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 1: and the teams that are successful in the playoffs are

278
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 1: teams that scored twenty five or more points a game

279
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 1: on average. The Titans came into that game last night

280
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 1: averaging just over eighteen points per game. That won't get

281
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 1: it done. It just won't. So you've got to be

282
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 1: able to go over thirty. And that's the next challenge

283
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 1: for this team. But I think it's a it's a

284
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 1: really good point because it's a statement about what you're

285
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 1: able to do. I mean, the fact that they gained

286
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 1: four hundred and eight yards, the fact that they were

287
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 1: seven of thirteen on third downs, things of that sword.

288
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a big deal. And yeah, low hanging

289
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 1: fruit or not, it's it's dead one. Well, your stat

290
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 1: wasn't lame. Your stat was way more important than what

291
00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 1: Derek Henry did. But he contributed to the stat that

292
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 1: you out there. My stat is oh for two on

293
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 1: fourth down for Green Bay. The Titans had come into

294
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 1: that game allowing fourteen of seventeen fourth down conversions. For

295
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 1: as good as they had been on third down, they

296
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 1: were allowing over eighty percent fourth down conversions. And that's

297
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 1: a bigger stat now than in years past because more

298
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 1: people go on fourth down, and to get them off

299
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 1: the field twice on fourth down is a big deal.

300
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 1: The Aaron Rodgers throw that was just really a kind

301
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 1: of a strange moment in the game where he he

302
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 1: basically threw it away and then the stop on the

303
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 1: run at the end was just so big, and David

304
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 1: Long is credited with the tackle, but there were a

305
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 1: lot of guys that stacked that thing up, and I

306
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 1: mean he didn't even he didn't even get close, not

307
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 1: even close. So over two on fourth down his mind.

308
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 1: It's halftime of the OTP four D in time to

309
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 1: remind you about our friends at Duncan and the new

310
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:07,400
Speaker 1: Duncan Rewards program. You can start saving and stacking your

311
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 1: way to free Duncan then use your points on things

312
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 1: like free donuts or free coffee or a free breakfast sandwich,

313
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 1: whatever you'd like. You can do it with your Duncan rewards.

314
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:21,400
Speaker 1: Save them, stack them, use them. However you want, America

315
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 1: runs on Duncan terms applied. Do you want to give

316
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 1: me some Duncan rewards right now? I think we use

317
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:30,119
Speaker 1: some Duncan right now because we're pretty tired. We are

318
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:34,400
Speaker 1: running on fumes undoubtedly, third down area where the Titans

319
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:37,399
Speaker 1: must improve from last night. Amy, this a little tough

320
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,440
Speaker 1: because they played a pretty complete game. But I'll give

321
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 1: you the first crack at it. Well, they did play

322
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 1: a complete game, and so I went back to address

323
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:47,920
Speaker 1: some of the things that we've brought up in previous

324
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:52,400
Speaker 1: third downs. But I mean time of possession. They got penalties,

325
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:55,360
Speaker 1: they only had two and they were both on kickoffs, right,

326
00:17:55,480 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 1: m yep they I mean, fumbles weren't an issue. Drops

327
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:05,359
Speaker 1: were cleaned up substantially. Third down efficiency they were seven

328
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 1: to thirteen. I mean, there's so many things that we've

329
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 1: talked about that seemed like the Tennessee Titans really cleaned

330
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:13,400
Speaker 1: up in that last game. So, I mean, the only

331
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 1: thing I can think of is you can't let Ryan

332
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:18,680
Speaker 1: Tannehill get sacked three times. But you didn't have Ben Jones,

333
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:22,680
Speaker 1: and realistically, the offensive line played a pretty solid game,

334
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:26,679
Speaker 1: so you can't even really complain about that. I'm at

335
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 1: a lost Rhett. I'm tagging it over to you, buddy,

336
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:31,879
Speaker 1: Do you have one. I'm just gonna take a flyer that.

337
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:35,119
Speaker 1: You know. It's gonna seem lame, but it is important.

338
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 1: And the one place I think they need to improve,

339
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 1: and they're gonna get it with ten days after this

340
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,880
Speaker 1: game's health. They need to improve in health. They've got

341
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 1: to get back Ben Jones. They've got to get some

342
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:49,359
Speaker 1: of these guys back onto the playing field so that

343
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 1: they can make a stretch run right here. I know

344
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 1: that's lame, but I know it's also important to the game.

345
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 1: I couldn't pick apart much of anything from this game.

346
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 1: You touched on all of it. You look, did all

347
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:03,680
Speaker 1: of those things, and there's all the earmarks of a win.

348
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:06,200
Speaker 1: You lost the turnover battle, but you live to tell

349
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 1: about it because it didn't result in any points. You

350
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:10,960
Speaker 1: one time a possession, you won on third down, all

351
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,200
Speaker 1: of those things. So I'm going to give them a pass,

352
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 1: but I would like them to get healthy for me.

353
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 1: Special teams. I don't think they had a bad night.

354
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 1: I just think they can play better. They gave up

355
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:24,919
Speaker 1: three punt returns for forty two yards, including a twenty

356
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:27,160
Speaker 1: four yarder where the punter had to make the tackle.

357
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:30,199
Speaker 1: They gave up five kickoff returns for one hundred and

358
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:33,119
Speaker 1: eight yards. The kicker had to make a tackle one time.

359
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 1: They've been better in both of those areas. They need

360
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 1: to be better. They had the penalties on special teams.

361
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 1: Stonehouse didn't have his best night. Had the punt when

362
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 1: you needed it at the end, he had, But you're right,

363
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 1: they had an average to a little subpar. It was cold,

364
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:52,919
Speaker 1: it was cold, and they had a guy not stumbled

365
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:55,159
Speaker 1: at one point coming off the edge too. He'd have

366
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:57,399
Speaker 1: had a real chance to block a punt, So I

367
00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 1: don't know what that was quite about. And then Josh

368
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:04,400
Speaker 1: Lambeau didn't hit the kicks in the end zone. Okay, well,

369
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 1: I mean he's he's just come back. I mean, this

370
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 1: is a guy who had kicked in a game and

371
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 1: over a year and he missed an extra point. By

372
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:14,400
Speaker 1: the way, the pat that hit the upright, did you

373
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 1: did you in the moment? Did hear it? I mean

374
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 1: it was it screamed man morally. But the whole thing

375
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 1: was special teams was I just didn't think it was

376
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:28,440
Speaker 1: their best night. I think they're good. I think they

377
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 1: have a chance to really be good, and I think

378
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,919
Speaker 1: if they can step that level up, that has a

379
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 1: chance to give them an advantage in maybe several games,

380
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 1: but it could put them over the top in a

381
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 1: game down the stretch. The performance last night wouldn't have

382
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 1: done that. Again. This is this is grading in a

383
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 1: different way because it's a very complete game. But I

384
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:52,359
Speaker 1: just didn't think it was their best game and I

385
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:57,440
Speaker 1: think they can do better. That's the reason that the

386
00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 1: special teams unit is good. Though. The earmark for me

387
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 1: is to hear I hear when you are getting with

388
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 1: coach Vrabel for the keys to the game and the

389
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 1: things that he so graciously gives us time to do.

390
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:13,160
Speaker 1: Titans countdown. He gets excited when he's talking about special teams.

391
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:17,879
Speaker 1: He feels they're just so close from busting one, and

392
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 1: I think they will. It's made such a difference over

393
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 1: the last eight games in terms of how it has

394
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:29,200
Speaker 1: changed field position. When they have lost some other stats,

395
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:33,120
Speaker 1: it's like a team may out gain them significantly, but

396
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 1: because the Titans are gaining so much in change of

397
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:41,400
Speaker 1: possession from their punting, their gaining fifteen twenty twenty five yards,

398
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 1: winning the hidden yardage well, and the opponent has to

399
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:47,120
Speaker 1: go further. So instead of having to go from their

400
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:50,360
Speaker 1: own forty for sixty yards for a touchdown, now they're

401
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:53,680
Speaker 1: having to go from their own fifteen or twenty. And

402
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 1: the thing that this defense does well is even when

403
00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:00,920
Speaker 1: it gives up yards, they're like, okay, you know. And

404
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 1: it's what we used to say about the Ravens defense.

405
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:06,400
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying that they're this type of defense yet,

406
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 1: but I'm saying they have this quality. You make a

407
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:13,920
Speaker 1: first down, okay, great, you make another first down, oh great,

408
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 1: But at some point we're gonna get you and we're

409
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:19,360
Speaker 1: gonna get off the field. When you change field position

410
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 1: in that way, making them make one or two more

411
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:27,640
Speaker 1: first downs potentially get you off the field. And that's

412
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:31,160
Speaker 1: what they've done well, particularly with third down, is they've

413
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:33,400
Speaker 1: gotten people into third down and then they've gotten off

414
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:36,960
Speaker 1: the field. So that's it for me. All right, fourth down?

415
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 1: Your player of the game. Who wants to go first?

416
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 1: Ladies first, I'll go first. My player of the game

417
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 1: is Ryan Tannehill. He had a great game. I mean

418
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 1: twenty two, twenty seven, three hundred and thirty three yards,

419
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 1: two touchdowns, blah blah blah, but seeing his poise, seeing

420
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:58,880
Speaker 1: the way that he controls a game, seeing the way

421
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 1: that he has continued to improve and grow throughout this season,

422
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 1: and seeing it in contrast to Aaron Rodgers, who is

423
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:13,120
Speaker 1: a great quarterback buty, who is noticeably frustrated, and who

424
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:18,200
Speaker 1: is not maintaining the same level of composure that Ryan

425
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:22,200
Speaker 1: Tannehill is. Right now, I was so proud that Ryan

426
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:26,200
Speaker 1: Tannehill's our guy. I think he's tough, I think that

427
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 1: he's an incredible athlete. I think that he is only

428
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:33,359
Speaker 1: getting better as a leader and as the person who's

429
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:37,400
Speaker 1: running this offense. Like every single week, I'm impressed by

430
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 1: him for some reason, and it's not always what shows

431
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 1: up on the stat sheet, it's everything else. And to

432
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 1: see him in contrast to someone like Aaron Rodgers, who

433
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:50,400
Speaker 1: of course has had an incredible career blah blah blah,

434
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 1: but he is not the same. He doesn't hold himself

435
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,919
Speaker 1: the same way that Ryan Tannehill does. And I was

436
00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 1: incredibly proud of Ryan Tannehill. What could you tailed down

437
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:02,640
Speaker 1: on the field, And we could tell a few things

438
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 1: from body language from eight stories up where we were,

439
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 1: but what could you tell from the field that you

440
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:12,639
Speaker 1: were seeing with Aaron Rodgers, he's frustrated. He doesn't seem

441
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:16,960
Speaker 1: to have the same fight, the same passion, the same

442
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:21,200
Speaker 1: like he's not motivating his teammates, he's not even interacting

443
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:24,360
Speaker 1: with his teammates a lot of the time. He I mean,

444
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:28,720
Speaker 1: even on the field, no one's really around him. And

445
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 1: it's odd. It's the dynamic is strange. And the fact

446
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:37,679
Speaker 1: that you can notice something like that on the field

447
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:39,760
Speaker 1: when I mean everybody's got their own thing to do,

448
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:41,919
Speaker 1: Like it's not like people are hanging out on the field.

449
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 1: You know, they're they're there for a reason, they're doing

450
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 1: a job. But with Ryan Tannehill, he's talking to people,

451
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 1: He's interacting with people on the sideline. Aaron Rodgers isn't

452
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 1: doing that unless he's yelling at somebody. He just doesn't

453
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 1: seem to have the same relationship with his team that

454
00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill has with his interesting Yeah, and so I mean,

455
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:04,880
Speaker 1: for all the things, he played an incredible game, Ryan Tannehill,

456
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:07,679
Speaker 1: he managed it incredibly well. I'm very proud of all

457
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 1: the statistical things and of course getting the win, but

458
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:13,680
Speaker 1: it's all the extra stuff that's what caught my attention,

459
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 1: and that's what made me so glad that he's our guy.

460
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:19,440
Speaker 1: Mine would have been Ryan Tannehill. And I totally understand

461
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 1: why you did that because he was a huge difference maker.

462
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 1: And so I will just parlay with Derek Henry one

463
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty yards from scrimmage two for two passing,

464
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:30,720
Speaker 1: had a passer rating just a little under what Ryan

465
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 1: Tannehill had, but through one great jump pass, great play

466
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:38,440
Speaker 1: there had twenty eight tough carries for eighty seven yards

467
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:43,479
Speaker 1: and a score against a formidable run defense in the Packers.

468
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:46,880
Speaker 1: They made it tough on him last night. But those

469
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 1: two guys together, man, that's a great combination. I could

470
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:54,359
Speaker 1: say trailing Burkes seven catches for one to eleven, but

471
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 1: I kind of have expected him to do this, so

472
00:25:57,840 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 1: I'm not going to say him. I'm going with Aaron Brewer.

473
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 1: You have to replace Ben Jones, which is really hard.

474
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 1: You have to play a position in the NFL that

475
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 1: you have not played. He had played center at Texas State,

476
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 1: he started fifteen games there, but his work in the

477
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 1: NFL has been at guard, and he stepped in and

478
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:20,800
Speaker 1: you didn't have a bunch of snap problems might have

479
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:23,200
Speaker 1: been a little low or a little wide a couple

480
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 1: of times, but nothing that threw a playoff. So you

481
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 1: wasted no plays with poor snaps. The communication had to

482
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:33,360
Speaker 1: be okay. I mean you get there. There were three sacks,

483
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 1: but I mean if the communication wasn't okay, there could

484
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:38,919
Speaker 1: have been ten sacks. And he just plays with a

485
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:42,359
Speaker 1: toughness and a grit. But back to the original point

486
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:45,719
Speaker 1: of it, he stepped in for Ben Jones, and the

487
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:51,160
Speaker 1: site of John Robinson holding the phone with Ben Jones,

488
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:54,400
Speaker 1: it's fantastic. It's fantastic. Go back and watch that if

489
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 1: you have not seen it. Ot people. John Robinson has

490
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 1: him on FaceTime and is holding the phone to where

491
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 1: when the teammates come up the ramp into the locker room,

492
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:09,399
Speaker 1: the first person they see is John Robinson and the

493
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:12,879
Speaker 1: second person they see is Ben Jones. Ye. Quite a moment,

494
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:16,240
Speaker 1: quite a moment and quite special, and hopefully Ben will

495
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:19,719
Speaker 1: be back. But I think Aaron has gained some trust,

496
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:22,399
Speaker 1: in some confidence that if he has to do that

497
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:25,480
Speaker 1: again and he might be the center down the line.

498
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:27,880
Speaker 1: You know, there are a lot of people who football,

499
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:30,880
Speaker 1: people who believe that he is a center, particularly with

500
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 1: his lack of size that it might be better suited

501
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 1: to there. But I just thought he did a nice job. Yeah,

502
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:39,200
Speaker 1: that's a good one. Yeah, And you think this team,

503
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:41,640
Speaker 1: how much does this team love Ben Jones? They loved

504
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 1: him enough to do that last night. I mean that

505
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:46,680
Speaker 1: was that was a great moment after a great football game.

506
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:49,240
Speaker 1: You could make an argument for the player two to

507
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 1: be Austin Hooper. That dude is surging now in two games,

508
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 1: nine catches, seventy seven yards, two scores, moving in the

509
00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 1: right direction, moving in the right direction. Undoubtedly Chigger Coonquo

510
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:04,440
Speaker 1: was coming on. They're going to get Kyle Phillips back

511
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:08,119
Speaker 1: very soon, which is exciting. Trail and Burks is back,

512
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 1: They're able to use Dontrell Hilliard as a bit of

513
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 1: a changeup. For a while, he was becoming a big

514
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,200
Speaker 1: part of the offense because he was having to basically

515
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 1: be on the field for every significant passing down. What

516
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 1: you want that running back out of the backfield to

517
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 1: be is somebody that you don't notice when he sneaks

518
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:29,399
Speaker 1: in the game, much like what was happening early in

519
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:32,639
Speaker 1: the year, and hopefully that can continue to happen. But

520
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:37,199
Speaker 1: the offensive production building and the defense doing it with

521
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:40,720
Speaker 1: whomever they put on the field, which in some cases

522
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 1: was a guy like Greg Mabin, who rejoined the team

523
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 1: this week after being waived August the thirtieth, so not

524
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 1: having played football for two and a half months. It's incredible.

525
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 1: It's incredible what he's playing snaps against Aaron Rodgers at Lambeau. Yeah,

526
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 1: just welcome back. Good to see. Huh. It's incredible what

527
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 1: they're able to get these guys to do in the

528
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 1: way that they're able to get them up to speed

529
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 1: so quickly. The other question too, or the other thing

530
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 1: that I was going to mention, was the play of

531
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 1: Trey Avery coming on because listen, so Trey Avery makes

532
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 1: this team out of training camp as a rookie, undrafted,

533
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:18,520
Speaker 1: and they're really up on him, and then he has

534
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 1: to play against Buffalo, and I mean that was a scorching.

535
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 1: I mean it was a scorching for a lot of people.

536
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 1: But you're a rookie out of Rudkers and you're going

537
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 1: against Josh Allen on Monday Night football and the Titans

538
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:35,480
Speaker 1: aren't doing anything right and that's your first time out

539
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 1: there and fun. But guess what later in the season

540
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 1: he gets a chance on Thursday Night football, and he

541
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 1: bounced back. He made a couple of really good plays

542
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 1: and stuck his nose in there and did what he

543
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:52,080
Speaker 1: needed to do. And you know, the Titans may have

544
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 1: found another one there. You're worried about his confidence, you know,

545
00:29:55,640 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 1: And he didn't play corner for seven weeks in a

546
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 1: game played special teams even play corner, right, and they

547
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 1: got him back in there. And he's an interesting he's

548
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 1: an interesting prospect, certainly a guy who has added something

549
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 1: already this year. And maybe we'll continue to add more.

550
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 1: We shall see. But we are off for a little while.

551
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 1: Hopefully you will enjoy the buy a weekend, the mini

552
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:23,280
Speaker 1: buy as we call it, at seven and three, and

553
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 1: the Titans will be taking on the Cincinnati Bengals a

554
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 1: week from Sunday. But that is going to do it

555
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 1: for this edition of our podcast, Corrette, Brian and Amy Wells.

556
