Mike Vrabel from yesterday's post game, 5 00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:29,160 Speaker 1: with a very blunt comment on the significance of the Titans. 6 00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:31,960 Speaker 1: Third when Welcome to the OTP four D presented by 7 00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:34,840 Speaker 1: Farm Bureau Health Plans plan on Farm Bureau of Health 8 00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:37,720 Speaker 1: Plans making it easy to get healthcare coverage you need 9 00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:42,440 Speaker 1: for less than you think. Visit FBHP dot com with 10 00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:46,880 Speaker 1: Amy Wells and Rhett Brian. I'm Mike Keith, Mike Vrabel, blunt, 11 00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:50,159 Speaker 1: not a lot of gray area with that guy trying 12 00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:53,160 Speaker 1: to get into the Nate Davis thing too yesterday about 13 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:56,320 Speaker 1: so was this uh? It was this something a Sunday 14 00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,760 Speaker 1: morning or a Saturday because when we got the inactives 15 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,360 Speaker 1: you have today morning, we were very surprised to see 16 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:05,640 Speaker 1: Nate Davis on there, right, And all I got was 17 00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:13,000 Speaker 1: no surprise, it's nice try thanks for playing. Got some 18 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:16,039 Speaker 1: serious head coach answers there, Yes, yes I did. He 19 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 1: was glad to win that ball game though at Washington, 20 00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:22,440 Speaker 1: no question, and to have it won in the dramatic fashion. 21 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,120 Speaker 1: I mean, good Grace, I mean, what are you gonna do? 22 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,920 Speaker 1: That's awesome. It was a little intense down there for 23 00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 1: a while. What was your vantage point of the final 24 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,640 Speaker 1: So the final play was in the corner of the 25 00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,119 Speaker 1: end zone, on the opposite side of the field from me, 26 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,199 Speaker 1: but I was on about the twenty or thirty yard 27 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:44,920 Speaker 1: line just watching everything, I mean through my fingers. Essentially, 28 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,040 Speaker 1: you knew the Titans were going to do something. You 29 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 1: just felt it in your bones that someone was going 30 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 1: to do something. And it was intense. I mean you 31 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 1: could on the Titans sideline you could hear a pin drop. 32 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 1: It was crazy. Mike. The interesting thing, of course, to 33 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 1: tell folks where we were yesterday. It's one of the 34 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:09,720 Speaker 1: worst views in radio for yeah, I mean, it's just bad. 35 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 1: And we actually were a little closer to the home 36 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 1: sideline and a little better angle than we were eight 37 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 1: years ago. But it's like calling a baseball game. I mean, 38 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 1: if there's home play right there and we're doing calling baseball, 39 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 1: it's perfect, but it's not. It's football. But that play 40 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,800 Speaker 1: happened in front of us in our close corner, and 41 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,799 Speaker 1: you know, seeing it digest against one thing but going 42 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 1: back and looking at it the film today, David Long, 43 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 1: it was so impressive because here comes Terry McLaurin and 44 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 1: he throws a vicious block on him, shucks him off, 45 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 1: and then he just goes right over and steps in 46 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 1: front of m kissing because McLaren's trying to pick him, Yes, 47 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 1: and he ain't having none of it, and he can 48 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:53,959 Speaker 1: do that. There were some in the media up there 49 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 1: that pointed out, well, David Long made contact with Terry McLaren. 50 00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 1: Well he can because it's within five y'all. Yes, this 51 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:05,079 Speaker 1: is short goal line play. And for him to just 52 00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,079 Speaker 1: pick the pick, so to speak, and then go over 53 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 1: and make the pick nice. I like, how you did that? Wow? 54 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 1: I mean that was a great play by So. Philip 55 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 1: Noel from our Titans radio team said something interesting last 56 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 1: night that he watched the tape and that Christian Fulton 57 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 1: was in really good position regardless, and he didn't believe 58 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,800 Speaker 1: that McKissick would have scored had the ball even gotten 59 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 1: to him, and the ball had a downward trajectory anyway, 60 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 1: So it may have turned out well for the Titans 61 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 1: even had Long not made the fantastic play. Have you 62 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 1: seen the same thing. Yeah, I did notice that after 63 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 1: he had messaged us about that, and he's right. Christian Fulton. 64 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 1: First of all, Christian Fulton, I think is really playing 65 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 1: some great ball for the Titans. But yeah, he was 66 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 1: well within range right there. All right, So before we 67 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 1: go to first down, I want to talk about Christian 68 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:56,840 Speaker 1: Fulton for a second and a taxiim Yes, that was 69 00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 1: something that you and I Amy were having conversations about 70 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 1: on Saturday when the new league policy came out, saying 71 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 1: that if you showed any form of a taxi, which 72 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 1: means more or less, I'm just going to generalize that 73 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:17,279 Speaker 1: if you're not stable, if you wobble, if your head 74 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:21,039 Speaker 1: you know, moves back and forth, if you're just not clear, 75 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 1: and it's apparent from the first moment, not if you 76 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 1: just get knocked down and you have a hard time 77 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 1: getting up, but if you are unstable, then you cannot 78 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 1: return to the ball game. We referenced this on Titan's 79 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 1: radio when Fulton came up and made that tackle and 80 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:42,039 Speaker 1: didn't just bounce up immediately as they got him to 81 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 1: the sidelines. Did you notice a difference in the observation 82 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:51,040 Speaker 1: process from what you had seen before when they thought 83 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:54,480 Speaker 1: a guy might have a concussion. Absolutely, and the league 84 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:58,359 Speaker 1: has always been, in what I have noticed, very thorough 85 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 1: in their evaluations. This is not a knock on how 86 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:04,680 Speaker 1: it has been done in the past, but it was 87 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 1: incredibly thorough and attentive. So I noticed, like to the 88 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 1: point where they're asking the questions, you know that they 89 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,599 Speaker 1: asked to kind of get an idea of your mental 90 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 1: clarity and that kind of thing. But they were listening 91 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,280 Speaker 1: not only to his answers, but the way that he spoke, 92 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 1: which is part of that ataxia thing. They were making 93 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 1: him kind of do some walking and movement to establish 94 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 1: if he had that stability. There were a lot of 95 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,719 Speaker 1: things that they were looking at, and there were more 96 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 1: people involved in the assessment than I typically would see. 97 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,800 Speaker 1: How many would you say, would you just guess five? No, kid, Well, 98 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 1: you have to remember there's team doctors, then we have 99 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:53,160 Speaker 1: the trainer, Todd Torselli. Then you have the independent neurological evaluator, right, 100 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 1: and then there's a couple other people who were kind 101 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 1: of because there was this new policy, you could tell 102 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:02,480 Speaker 1: there were more people involved making sure they had everything correct. 103 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 1: I had spoken to one of our team doctors, the 104 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:08,240 Speaker 1: day before, and he had mentioned the new policy and 105 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 1: how interesting it was going to be for that to 106 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,359 Speaker 1: go into effect. So the fact that we had a 107 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 1: situation the next day where that was able to be 108 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,839 Speaker 1: put into place, I think they all wanted to make 109 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,480 Speaker 1: sure that they hit every mark that the league had 110 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,240 Speaker 1: laid out. So there were probably a little bit more 111 00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 1: people involved than there will be going forward now that 112 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,159 Speaker 1: they've kind of got an idea of what this is 113 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 1: going to look like. But it was interesting to see 114 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 1: how many people were involved, how many people came out 115 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:39,600 Speaker 1: to make sure that they were in agreement with what 116 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 1: the evaluation was of his mental clarity and his ability 117 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 1: to continue. It was a very interesting thing to watch, 118 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,559 Speaker 1: and I kind of positioned myself in a way where 119 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 1: I could see and hear a little bit more than 120 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 1: I normally would if someone's being evaluated for a concussion, 121 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 1: because normally it's okay, they're in the protocol, will let 122 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,480 Speaker 1: you know later, you know. But I was interested to 123 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:03,599 Speaker 1: see what this was going to look like. I was 124 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 1: very impressed by it and just how many different facets 125 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 1: of his mental stability, I guess, and his kind of 126 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,440 Speaker 1: health and wellness they were able to tick off in 127 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 1: a pretty quick amount of time. Ataxia is listed as 128 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 1: abnormality of balance, stability, motor coordination, or a dysfunctional speech 129 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 1: caused by a neurological issue. If a player shows any 130 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 1: hint of that rat he's not going back in the game. 131 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 1: Before if he showed that and then he sort of 132 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 1: got back to a normal baseline, he would be allowed 133 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 1: to go back in the game. That is reportedly what 134 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 1: happened with to a tongue of Iloa in Miami is 135 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 1: that he was wobbly, but that he sort of bounced 136 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 1: back to normal, and that was what everybody was so 137 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 1: upset about. It's like, how could you allow him to 138 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 1: go back in the game. What they've learned is that 139 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 1: was what the policy want, is that if he got 140 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,640 Speaker 1: back to normal function and everything appeared to be back 141 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 1: to normal, then it was just a sort of a 142 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:08,240 Speaker 1: temporary setback. Now, if you have a temporary setback, you 143 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 1: are not going back in that game. Well, Mike, first 144 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 1: of all, I thought you explained it very well on 145 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 1: the broadcast yesterday that this is went from a general 146 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 1: rule to more expansive into how everything is evaluated. And 147 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 1: I'm glad that you. Amy shared what you saw yesterday 148 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 1: in regards to Christian Fulton, because that is exactly what 149 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:33,440 Speaker 1: we saw on the Thursday night football game that started 150 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 1: week five. When there is you know, the independent neurologists. 151 00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 1: He wears a red NFL hat for those or he 152 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 1: or she does, and then there was about the same 153 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,600 Speaker 1: amount of people looking at a surface tablet at the 154 00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:49,080 Speaker 1: contact and then going into the protocol and trying to 155 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 1: figure all those things out. So it's much more detailed 156 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 1: now and looking for telltale signs that maybe just would 157 00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:59,200 Speaker 1: have been a kind of a glance over because it 158 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:03,240 Speaker 1: was a more general, broad rule and now it's more finite. Absolutely, 159 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 1: I think that again everyone took this seriously before. We're 160 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:11,360 Speaker 1: not saying that it wasn't taken seriously previously, but what 161 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:13,760 Speaker 1: they were looking for the criteria was a little bit 162 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 1: more vague. I think. I think it left a little 163 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:19,040 Speaker 1: bit more up to the discretion of the people who 164 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,760 Speaker 1: were there and kind of determining, well, he's back to 165 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:25,360 Speaker 1: a baseline, so that's fine. Now there's a little bit 166 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:30,239 Speaker 1: more of a finite, rigid set of rules and criteria 167 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 1: that need to be hit. Well. I think it's just 168 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 1: more protection of the player automatically, rather than because you know, 169 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,560 Speaker 1: the guys want to go back in the game. They're 170 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,680 Speaker 1: the world's best competitors. Yeah, they absolutely want to go back. 171 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 1: They're saying I'm fine. But now instead of making that assumption, 172 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 1: they're going the other way. They're saying, Nope, you wobbled 173 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:58,319 Speaker 1: when you stood up, which Fulton didn't. Fulton got right up, 174 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,960 Speaker 1: he walked off. He was not being assisted off the field. 175 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 1: You could see, Okay, maybe he's not. And not every 176 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,120 Speaker 1: hard hit, not every time you're shaking up on the play, 177 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:11,920 Speaker 1: is it a concussion? But sometimes if it is, or 178 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:16,640 Speaker 1: it has that evidence. Now instead of sort of giving 179 00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 1: the benefit of the doubt to going back in the 180 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 1: benefit of the doubt, says you're out right. And that's 181 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 1: the difference. I think it's a good thing. I don't 182 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:29,680 Speaker 1: think they were doing anything wrong beforehand. I don't think 183 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:31,959 Speaker 1: they were trying to leave guys in games who were 184 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 1: punch drunk or no. They're just doing more. They're doing more, 185 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 1: and I think that's a good thing for everybody. And 186 00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 1: I don't think anybody was doing anything intentionally wrong. I 187 00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:45,080 Speaker 1: don't think the medical people were trying to stretch it 188 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,720 Speaker 1: out in different ways. But I think this is better 189 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 1: for everyone involved. And the other thing too, it's it 190 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:53,160 Speaker 1: takes a lot of people with teams off the hook 191 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,840 Speaker 1: because now if it's like this, I mean, if you 192 00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:00,440 Speaker 1: do what to a tongue of ioloa, did you you 193 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 1: know you're given it the you know, the Michael Spenks 194 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 1: wobble against you know, against Mike Tyson. You are not 195 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:09,200 Speaker 1: going back in the game. And that's a good thing 196 00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,800 Speaker 1: because nobody has to make a decision. It's like, that's it, 197 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 1: You're out. Yeah, right, Nobody has to be the bad 198 00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:17,559 Speaker 1: guy and say I'm sorry, you can't play. There's no negotiation, 199 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,839 Speaker 1: can't talk yourself back onto the field. That's exactly right. 200 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:23,000 Speaker 1: But I'm glad they gave Christian Fulton his helmet back 201 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 1: and sent him back out. Well, and I'm glad. We're 202 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:28,440 Speaker 1: all glad. He's okay, yes, first and foremost, and he's 203 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:31,080 Speaker 1: more than okay as a player, no doubt. All right, 204 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 1: first down and you cannot say the David Long interception. 205 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 1: You can't on it. You just can't do it. Your 206 00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:42,800 Speaker 1: play that turned the game is Tennessee beat Washington twenty 207 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,120 Speaker 1: one to seventy. You really can't say that point. How 208 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,920 Speaker 1: could you not? I mean, that's gonna because that's the answer. 209 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 1: I mean, that is the answer. They won the game 210 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,080 Speaker 1: because a guy went intercepted a pass at the one 211 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:55,120 Speaker 1: yard line. But what you're saying, Mike is we give 212 00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:59,959 Speaker 1: the ot people more more, we do deeper. It's just better. Okay. 213 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:04,200 Speaker 1: So I wrote this down in game as it happened, 214 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:06,000 Speaker 1: and you're not going to be surprised why I tell 215 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,040 Speaker 1: you who it is because it's the Nick Westbrook a 216 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 1: Keene sixty two yard reception in the third quarter. And 217 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:13,920 Speaker 1: I wrote it down as soon as it happened and 218 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:17,839 Speaker 1: circled it and wrote play of the game because in 219 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 1: that moment, you felt all the momentum shift back to 220 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:24,400 Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans. I mean, listen, the Titans had had 221 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:26,959 Speaker 1: two series where they went three and out. That was it. 222 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 1: You felt like, oh no, we can't get that traction again. 223 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,079 Speaker 1: Here we are in the third quarter of the game. 224 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,960 Speaker 1: We came back after the half, and the same story 225 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 1: that we've seen for the last couple of weeks is 226 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,920 Speaker 1: happening again. He was able to make that play. It's 227 00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 1: set up the Titans first second half score in two 228 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:48,920 Speaker 1: weeks and all of this sudden you felt like those 229 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,920 Speaker 1: wheels that were kind of spinning in the mud finally 230 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:55,079 Speaker 1: caught on something, and the Titans offense was back in business. 231 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:57,360 Speaker 1: You could feel it on the sidelines, you could feel 232 00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:00,439 Speaker 1: it in the stadium. It projected that team forward, and 233 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,240 Speaker 1: the Titans ended up getting the score. On the end 234 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:06,040 Speaker 1: of that drive. They go up again and things feel 235 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,560 Speaker 1: good for a change. So that was my play that 236 00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:11,000 Speaker 1: kind of turned the game. Now things got a little 237 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,880 Speaker 1: shaky in other spots, but that was such a colossal 238 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:17,559 Speaker 1: momentum shift that was like tangible, you could feel it, 239 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,160 Speaker 1: and so that's my play that changed the game for me. 240 00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,320 Speaker 1: It's the Ryan Stonehouse punt early on in the game 241 00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:25,800 Speaker 1: because if you look in context, that was ten twelve 242 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,679 Speaker 1: left in the second quarter. The play before that, it 243 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:31,880 Speaker 1: was third and twenty three. Ryan Tannehill has a sack 244 00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:35,080 Speaker 1: that's lost for thirteen yards, done by Jonathan Allen and 245 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 1: Deron Payne, and so they're deep in their own territory 246 00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:41,640 Speaker 1: in this and Ryan Stonehouse puts a sixty six yard punt. 247 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:45,840 Speaker 1: Then Holmes for Washington was called for offensive holding, so 248 00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:49,520 Speaker 1: now it's a seven yard penalty and Washington's at their 249 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 1: own fifteen It's what'd you say, a seventy three yard flint. 250 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 1: They ended up starting at their own eight yard line, 251 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:58,440 Speaker 1: So the Titans punting just outside their own end zone 252 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 1: and Washington up starting just outside their own end zone. 253 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:04,240 Speaker 1: At that point, they had a ten to seven lead. 254 00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:06,720 Speaker 1: That's the most important part of it. Washington had a 255 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:11,720 Speaker 1: ten to seven lead, and whatever momentum was there in 256 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:14,839 Speaker 1: the stadium was there's I was surprised how few people 257 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:18,720 Speaker 1: were in attendance yesterday, right right it was. I don't 258 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 1: know that I've seen a stadium that empty during the 259 00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,480 Speaker 1: regular season, especially at a place like that. I mean, 260 00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:27,920 Speaker 1: that's a ninety year old franchise that began as the 261 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:32,760 Speaker 1: Boston Braves. That's a franchise that's won multiple NFL championships, 262 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 1: what three Super Bowls. I mean, it's a special franchise. 263 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:42,160 Speaker 1: It is one of the hallmark NFL franchise. It's a 264 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:45,400 Speaker 1: legacy franchise, a legacy franchise, and there is I think 265 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,760 Speaker 1: between what's going on with the ownership and then I 266 00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 1: think just years of bad ball. I think the name 267 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:55,080 Speaker 1: change is a big deal to people just from the 268 00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 1: standpoint that it's one more thing. Yeah, I don't think 269 00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:00,280 Speaker 1: it would be that big a deal if the owner 270 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:03,360 Speaker 1: wasn't in as much trouble as he's in, and they 271 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:06,800 Speaker 1: weren't having all that commotion, and if they'd won recently. 272 00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,720 Speaker 1: Washington really hasn't been a good team in the twenty 273 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:11,720 Speaker 1: first century, and to put a mild lead the fan 274 00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:15,160 Speaker 1: base is interested, they're disinterested. I mean when we arrived 275 00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:18,360 Speaker 1: yesterday morning and it was what a forty five minute 276 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:20,200 Speaker 1: ride from where we came, so we got there just 277 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 1: before ten o'clock Eastern. There was almost no tailgate, none, 278 00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:29,160 Speaker 1: and every person in the parking lot that we saw, 279 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:33,120 Speaker 1: none of them had on anything commanders, none of them, 280 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:35,800 Speaker 1: and a lot of them waved at us like high neighbor. Yeah. 281 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:39,040 Speaker 1: I mean it was not one from a couple, but 282 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:40,920 Speaker 1: I but I mean, you think about those East Coast 283 00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 1: teams that are the legacy franchises, the Eagles and the 284 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:48,600 Speaker 1: Giants and the Patriots and all these I mean, when 285 00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:53,920 Speaker 1: we go to those places, Buffalo, it's rough. You're gonna Pittsburgh, 286 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:56,520 Speaker 1: you I mean, they're giving you the business man, and 287 00:15:56,720 --> 00:16:00,240 Speaker 1: there was just but at the moment you're talking about 288 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 1: ten to seven They've just thrown the seventy five yard 289 00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:06,840 Speaker 1: touchdown pass to danby Brown and they're getting the ball back, 290 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,280 Speaker 1: and they figure to get the ball back in goodfield position, 291 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,680 Speaker 1: and instead they started their own eight. Yeah, it tamped 292 00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:15,680 Speaker 1: it all down in a big way for me. The 293 00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,160 Speaker 1: play of the game was the touchdown before halftime and 294 00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:23,360 Speaker 1: the way Vrabel managed the clock, the great job that 295 00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:25,600 Speaker 1: he did. Because Washington's going to get the ball to 296 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,400 Speaker 1: start the second half. Year down ten seven, you haven't 297 00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:31,680 Speaker 1: moved it well. You put together a really really nice 298 00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:34,680 Speaker 1: drive that takes off the last seven minutes of the half. 299 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:37,280 Speaker 1: You punch it in again in the red zone, and 300 00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:40,680 Speaker 1: now you're up fourteen to ten, and anything they were 301 00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:42,760 Speaker 1: going to take into the locker room or bring out 302 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:44,920 Speaker 1: of the locker room, it's sort of gone. I would 303 00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 1: agree if I had gone first, I would have picked 304 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:50,000 Speaker 1: the Westbrook a Kene catch as well, because at that 305 00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:52,720 Speaker 1: point the Titans couldn't drive the ball. But I think 306 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:54,920 Speaker 1: to go back a little bit further, that touchdown right 307 00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:59,040 Speaker 1: before halftime was just huge, and what a job by 308 00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 1: Derrick Henry to get both of those end yesterday. All right, 309 00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:05,280 Speaker 1: second down, reet, Brian, you go first, the stat that 310 00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:07,880 Speaker 1: grabbed your attention. Well, and I'm gonna go a little 311 00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:10,000 Speaker 1: outside the rules here because we're talking about stats within 312 00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:12,520 Speaker 1: the game. But I'm just looking at this stat right here. 313 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:15,120 Speaker 1: Eighteen point six. You know what that is. That's how 314 00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:18,200 Speaker 1: many points per game that the Titans have allowed in 315 00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:21,359 Speaker 1: their last three contests, after giving up forty one to 316 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:24,600 Speaker 1: Buffalo in Week two, fifty six total points, an average 317 00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:27,960 Speaker 1: of eighteen point six a game. That defense, even though 318 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:32,080 Speaker 1: it's wounded, is doing more than it's part. Yeah, that 319 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,520 Speaker 1: was a good rule. Rule bread. I thought he was 320 00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,240 Speaker 1: going to do yours and go like three different stat No, 321 00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:40,080 Speaker 1: I just kind of bigger, bigger picture, bigger picture. But 322 00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:43,280 Speaker 1: they gave up seventeen points yesterday, and so yeah, that 323 00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:45,920 Speaker 1: falls right in line. I mean they've they've done the job. 324 00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:47,919 Speaker 1: You do that and you're gonna win some ball games. 325 00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:51,040 Speaker 1: I mean, you're holding an opponent under twenty, you're gonna 326 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:54,119 Speaker 1: win most ball games in this league. Absolutely. Mine is 327 00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:57,520 Speaker 1: third down defense by the old Tennessee Titans. One for eleven, 328 00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:01,080 Speaker 1: one for eleven, And it was in the very last 329 00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:03,480 Speaker 1: drive of the whole game. I mean it was at 330 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:06,679 Speaker 1: the very very end when the Commanders got their first 331 00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:10,399 Speaker 1: third down conversion. So very proud of the Tennessee Titans 332 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:12,200 Speaker 1: for being able to do that, because we all know 333 00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:14,240 Speaker 1: that when you can get an offense off the field, 334 00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:17,480 Speaker 1: you're stopping them from scoring points. Well, let's take all 335 00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:19,639 Speaker 1: of this further and I'm going to kind of piggyback 336 00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,440 Speaker 1: on what you've talked about. First of all, third down 337 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:26,440 Speaker 1: defense a key, turnovers a key. The Titans taking care 338 00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:29,640 Speaker 1: of the football. What about Ryan Tannehill getting womped all 339 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 1: over the place yesterday, didn't fumble, did not fumble, which 340 00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,480 Speaker 1: other quarterbacks around the league had been fumbling quite a 341 00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:39,840 Speaker 1: bit in those situations. But they took care of the football. 342 00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:43,119 Speaker 1: Red hits on it, hold them to fewer points, do 343 00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:44,920 Speaker 1: a good job in the red zone, make them kick 344 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,480 Speaker 1: field goals, or, as in the case of the last drive, 345 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:50,400 Speaker 1: not score. The other thing for me that adds to that, though, 346 00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:53,840 Speaker 1: is the Titans continue to score touchdowns in the red zone. 347 00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:56,760 Speaker 1: They had two hundred and forty one total yards yesterday. 348 00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:59,120 Speaker 1: That's not good. No, that's not a lot. But they 349 00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:01,679 Speaker 1: scored twenty one points because every time they got in 350 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,480 Speaker 1: the red zone they scored a touchdown. They are twelve 351 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:08,600 Speaker 1: of thirteen in the red zone this year scoring touchdowns, 352 00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:11,320 Speaker 1: which is number one in the NFL. That's the biggest 353 00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:13,840 Speaker 1: reason they're three and two, because they did get to 354 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:16,960 Speaker 1: twenty one points based on the fact that they used 355 00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:19,679 Speaker 1: what yards they had. Every time they moved the ball, 356 00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:24,280 Speaker 1: they scored and that was it. That was basically the story. Yeah, 357 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:27,359 Speaker 1: it was all right. How about third down area where 358 00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:30,720 Speaker 1: the Titans must improve from yesterday's twenty one to seventeen 359 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:34,600 Speaker 1: went over Washington. Ryan Tannehill cannot be sacked five times again. 360 00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:38,719 Speaker 1: We need to protect Ryan Tannehill. He will die now 361 00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:41,160 Speaker 1: if he keeps getting hit like this. I mean, it's 362 00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:43,560 Speaker 1: just it's a reality. You are more likely to get 363 00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,480 Speaker 1: injured when you're getting hit well, that's true. And you 364 00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:50,199 Speaker 1: got to protect your quarterback. He's where everything starts. You 365 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:53,239 Speaker 1: gotta keep that guy upright, and so whatever needs to 366 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:56,080 Speaker 1: be done. And it's a full offense problem. We've said 367 00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:58,679 Speaker 1: this in the past. It's not just the offensive line. 368 00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:02,160 Speaker 1: All eleven guys have to be working together for everything 369 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 1: to work on offense. I think a lot of it 370 00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:07,040 Speaker 1: was offensive line yesterday. I think so too, But everybody 371 00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:09,640 Speaker 1: needs to work together to solve this problem. But you 372 00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:12,359 Speaker 1: have to have to have to protect your quarterback. Well, right, 373 00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:15,919 Speaker 1: we talked about it and we expanded upon it with 374 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:19,120 Speaker 1: coach both on and off the air, coach Dave McGinnis. 375 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,600 Speaker 1: That is the fact of the matter is they're having 376 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:24,720 Speaker 1: to do some things to help protection. So there's some 377 00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:27,359 Speaker 1: things they can't really run. Right, They're not going to 378 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:30,000 Speaker 1: run a lot of straight drop back because they're not 379 00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:33,600 Speaker 1: able to protect quite as well as what they have been. Well, 380 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:37,879 Speaker 1: guess what. Teams start to figure out what your adjustment is, 381 00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:41,520 Speaker 1: and then they start to adjust to your adjustment, right, 382 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:45,080 Speaker 1: and then you've got dudes like Jonathan Allen and Ron 383 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:50,280 Speaker 1: Payne and Montes Sweat and jam and Davis and you know, 384 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:53,600 Speaker 1: on and on and on faobada, you know, guys like 385 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,919 Speaker 1: that who are just beastly, yes who can beat you 386 00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:01,080 Speaker 1: one on one. And then they took advantage of that yesterday. Washington, 387 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:04,680 Speaker 1: by the way, is no cupcake and they are going 388 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:08,600 Speaker 1: to give people trouble as the year goes on because 389 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:11,680 Speaker 1: they play that kind of defense as they figure out 390 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:13,879 Speaker 1: their offense a little bit with all those weapons and 391 00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:17,560 Speaker 1: get Dotson back at wide receiver and see Brown take 392 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:19,800 Speaker 1: off the way he did with the two touchdown catchers. 393 00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:22,760 Speaker 1: They're gonna beat some people. Not making any prediction about 394 00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,159 Speaker 1: what their record is, but that is not a bad 395 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:28,040 Speaker 1: football team. They're one in four football team, but they 396 00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:30,560 Speaker 1: are not a bad football team. Now. They've got players, 397 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,520 Speaker 1: and that's the thing is. I think that maybe goes 398 00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:36,680 Speaker 1: back to the fan base and being disinterested in Washington 399 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:39,840 Speaker 1: because they've got all these top picks on defense and 400 00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:42,159 Speaker 1: they've got players everywhere. Well in Chase Young will be 401 00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:44,960 Speaker 1: back at some point two on defense, and he's the 402 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:48,560 Speaker 1: best defensive lineman they have. Yes, all right, Ret Brian, 403 00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:51,080 Speaker 1: We're on third down, still area where the Titans must 404 00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:54,040 Speaker 1: improve from yesterday. This is gonna sound silly because a 405 00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:56,120 Speaker 1: lot of people are going for it more on fourth down. 406 00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:58,840 Speaker 1: But the fourth down defense they have number one. Titans 407 00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,119 Speaker 1: have the number one third down defense in the NFL 408 00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:03,960 Speaker 1: right now, but they have the worst fourth down defense. 409 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:07,360 Speaker 1: I think it's been seven out of nine completed attempts 410 00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:11,040 Speaker 1: on fourth down. And you know, listen again, part of 411 00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:13,080 Speaker 1: it is the byproduct of the NFL and where we 412 00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:15,720 Speaker 1: are today because somebody people go forward on fourth down 413 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:18,280 Speaker 1: and it's just a crapshoot sometimes, but I think that's 414 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:19,960 Speaker 1: one place where you can clean up a little bit. 415 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:21,960 Speaker 1: For me, it's two hundred and forty one yards of 416 00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:24,399 Speaker 1: total offense. I mean, I know it was great. I 417 00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:27,639 Speaker 1: just said they scored twenty one points. But listen, they've 418 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:29,479 Speaker 1: got to do better than that. Got to move football. 419 00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:31,240 Speaker 1: They've got to move the football, and they've got I 420 00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:34,080 Speaker 1: mean as they go forward, and in essence what we've 421 00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:37,560 Speaker 1: seen now, Titans are three and two, Colts are two 422 00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:41,520 Speaker 1: two and one, Jaguars are two and three, the Texans 423 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:44,720 Speaker 1: are one three and one. We're really starting all over. 424 00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:49,160 Speaker 1: I mean, in essence, this is kind of where everybody 425 00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:51,640 Speaker 1: thought we would be, the Titans and the Colts would 426 00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:53,600 Speaker 1: be at the top, and the Jaguars would be third 427 00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:57,520 Speaker 1: and the Texans would be fourth. But everybody's completely bunched up. 428 00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:00,320 Speaker 1: I mean you look at the numbers. Houston can win 429 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:02,640 Speaker 1: the division. Yeah, I mean they are. They are so 430 00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:06,080 Speaker 1: not out of it right now, which means you're gonna 431 00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:09,360 Speaker 1: have to take what you're doing going forward and improve 432 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:11,359 Speaker 1: upon it. The Titans are going to have to be 433 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:13,840 Speaker 1: able to put up more numbers on offense. You know, 434 00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:17,080 Speaker 1: you can't drop passes that would give you first downs, 435 00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:20,320 Speaker 1: you can't get the penalties, and some of the penalties 436 00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:25,199 Speaker 1: were I mean, they were oddly called. I mean it was. 437 00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:27,600 Speaker 1: It was very such a nice way to say that, 438 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:32,000 Speaker 1: it really is, because I'm thinking of the Jeffrey Simmons 439 00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:35,200 Speaker 1: was on defense. But that's a bad I mean, that's 440 00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:37,960 Speaker 1: a bad call. That's just a bad call. When an 441 00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:42,040 Speaker 1: official is over fifty yards away from the play and 442 00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:46,439 Speaker 1: can see something, he or think he sees something, and 443 00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:49,119 Speaker 1: I don't know, some of it just didn't make a 444 00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:52,040 Speaker 1: lot of sense. When the umpire throws holding, Okay, when 445 00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:55,240 Speaker 1: the referee throws holding, I got it. But when guys 446 00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:57,600 Speaker 1: from way on the other side of the field, that's 447 00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:03,760 Speaker 1: what always gets me administratively, I just don't. Yeah, I don't. Anyway, 448 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:05,760 Speaker 1: offense has got to get better. They got to gain 449 00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:07,960 Speaker 1: more yards. They got to score more points. They need 450 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:11,280 Speaker 1: to get not only over three hundred yards per game, 451 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:13,880 Speaker 1: closer to three hundred and fifty yards per game, but 452 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:16,280 Speaker 1: they've got to get into the upper twenties and scoring. 453 00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:18,800 Speaker 1: If they're gonna make a run, they've got to start 454 00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:21,439 Speaker 1: scoring more points. I think what will help them is 455 00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:23,920 Speaker 1: as some guys come back. The defense will get better, 456 00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:26,280 Speaker 1: I really do. I mean you think about who's not 457 00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:28,880 Speaker 1: out there right now and who they're going to get 458 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:32,480 Speaker 1: back in the next month, and they can improve a lot. 459 00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 1: But the offense, regardless of the defense plays lights out, 460 00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:39,200 Speaker 1: the offense has got to do more. All right, fourth down, 461 00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:42,920 Speaker 1: your player of the game, Rett Brian gets to go first. 462 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:44,760 Speaker 1: But I know who this is gonna be. Yeah, me too, 463 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:48,920 Speaker 1: it's mine too, So go ahead, you go first, your first. 464 00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:53,159 Speaker 1: It's Big Jeff. Yes, it's been you know, we talked 465 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:55,960 Speaker 1: privately and even on the air, off the air that 466 00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:58,240 Speaker 1: Big Jeff needed a Big Jeff type of game, and 467 00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:01,440 Speaker 1: he did. One and a half sacks, quarterback pressures, had 468 00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:04,480 Speaker 1: five tackles, had one downfield on Terry McLaurin that would 469 00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:06,679 Speaker 1: have been a busted play and first might have been 470 00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:10,159 Speaker 1: a touchdown right and a twenty three yards down the 471 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:13,920 Speaker 1: field and a PBu and he gave their the offensive line. 472 00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:16,520 Speaker 1: Now they didn't, you know, batter. You know, Carson wentz 473 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:20,159 Speaker 1: with regularity like you know what Ryan Tannehill went through yesterday, 474 00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,399 Speaker 1: But they made his life difficult by the way. So 475 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:25,639 Speaker 1: the pressure stat that's done in the press box when 476 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,000 Speaker 1: they grade the film. That's the what they called the 477 00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:32,200 Speaker 1: official pressure stat seven quarterback pressure from the coaches film 478 00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:36,000 Speaker 1: from the coaches, Wow, is what he was given credit for. Seven. Unbelievable. 479 00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:38,920 Speaker 1: He had a big Jeff day. That's the great way 480 00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,600 Speaker 1: to say. He got tackled more than once too. Yes, 481 00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:44,359 Speaker 1: I mean they could have called holding. Maybe that guy's 482 00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:49,560 Speaker 1: sixty yards away could have seen that. Am I wrong? 483 00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:54,040 Speaker 1: Here's the other way too. Does anybody else think the 484 00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:57,480 Speaker 1: ball where Christian Fulton was called for past interference, which 485 00:25:57,520 --> 00:25:59,639 Speaker 1: I'm not sure it was anyway, watching it back, he 486 00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:03,320 Speaker 1: and they're they're fighting. Ball was uncatchable. It was not 487 00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:05,879 Speaker 1: even a little bit catchable. No, you were one hundred 488 00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:11,159 Speaker 1: correct nor crazy. You're right if they called holding, it 489 00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:13,840 Speaker 1: doesn't matter if the ball is uncatchable or not, but 490 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:16,879 Speaker 1: it passed interference. It has to be. It has to 491 00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:19,960 Speaker 1: be a catchable ball. Yeah, Amy, Well, No, I mean 492 00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:23,359 Speaker 1: I because my player was big Jeff as well. I 493 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:26,359 Speaker 1: mean such a dominant player. And just I talked to 494 00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:29,680 Speaker 1: him after the game for Titans Radio, and man, he 495 00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:32,120 Speaker 1: is just so fired up about this team. He's so 496 00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:35,000 Speaker 1: fired up about the defense. He is just he's kind 497 00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,400 Speaker 1: of the heart and soul of the Titans defense right now. 498 00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:40,440 Speaker 1: And I'm just so excited that he's part of this team. 499 00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:42,879 Speaker 1: And it made me laugh that he was so annoyed, 500 00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:47,240 Speaker 1: not that David Long Junior got the interception, but that 501 00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:50,360 Speaker 1: he ran it back as far as he did. He's like, listen, bro, 502 00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:54,200 Speaker 1: I'm tired. That was exhausting. Quit making me run so far. 503 00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:57,560 Speaker 1: I played eighty seven percent of the snaps again, and 504 00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:01,639 Speaker 1: he just wanted them to get down right, stop running right. 505 00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:04,720 Speaker 1: I thought it was great, but yeah, I mean, he's 506 00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:08,520 Speaker 1: playing the majority of the game and at a high 507 00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:12,320 Speaker 1: level every single snap. It's amazing. It's unbelievable. He's amazing. 508 00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:13,960 Speaker 1: I could have voted for him. You could certainly vote 509 00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,560 Speaker 1: for David Long with the eleven tackles in the interception. 510 00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:20,080 Speaker 1: I'm going in a different direction though, Ryan Tannehill. Ryan 511 00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:23,360 Speaker 1: Tannehill's numbers were pedestrian. What he's fifteen of twenty five, 512 00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:26,600 Speaker 1: one eighty one and a touchdown. That's correct. But he 513 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:32,680 Speaker 1: got hammered several times, sacked five times, but never lost 514 00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:36,040 Speaker 1: the football. Never really. I can't remember him coming close 515 00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:40,919 Speaker 1: to throwing an interception and just piloting the ship, getting 516 00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:46,080 Speaker 1: them down there being cognizant of everything, finishing drives with touchdowns. 517 00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:50,239 Speaker 1: That was winning quarterback play on a day where you 518 00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:55,320 Speaker 1: absolutely had to have it. That was Ryan Tannehill at 519 00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:58,679 Speaker 1: his best. And something that struck me yesterday. I have 520 00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:02,080 Speaker 1: a lot of sideline reporters thoughts today apparently, but something 521 00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:05,520 Speaker 1: that struck me yesterday was even with the amount of 522 00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:08,639 Speaker 1: times that he was getting hit and kind of the 523 00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:12,080 Speaker 1: beating that he took, he never came over and was 524 00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:15,480 Speaker 1: frustrated with the offensive line. He never came over and 525 00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:19,400 Speaker 1: had like a moment or was yelling and screaming trying 526 00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:22,400 Speaker 1: to get guys. And I mean, you have to imagine 527 00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:24,080 Speaker 1: that there were some parts of that game that he 528 00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:26,040 Speaker 1: was not having like the most fun he's ever had 529 00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:28,959 Speaker 1: in his life, but he never lost his cool. He 530 00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:33,080 Speaker 1: would come over and he'd make corrections, he would explain 531 00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:35,159 Speaker 1: things that maybe needed to be different or what he 532 00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:39,080 Speaker 1: was seeing, but he always had something positive and encouraging 533 00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:42,120 Speaker 1: on the back end of that. He was so much 534 00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:44,800 Speaker 1: a leader to me in that moment where he could 535 00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:48,280 Speaker 1: take the hits, he'd take the shots. All right, let's 536 00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:51,080 Speaker 1: course correct again. Okay, let's course correct again. I was 537 00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:54,240 Speaker 1: so impressed by his demeanor because if I was him, 538 00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:57,480 Speaker 1: I would have gotten mad and mean because that did 539 00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:02,520 Speaker 1: not look fun sometimes getting hit. He took a beating, yeah, 540 00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:05,160 Speaker 1: and yet he kept getting up and he kept running 541 00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:09,320 Speaker 1: the show. And it's what it means to have a guy. 542 00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:13,880 Speaker 1: And a lot of people undersell having a guy now. 543 00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:17,280 Speaker 1: Heem Heinz said it after the Titans Indianapolis game, and 544 00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:18,960 Speaker 1: I thought it was a great comment. He said, he said, 545 00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:21,520 Speaker 1: the biggest advantage the Titans have is they've had the 546 00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:24,720 Speaker 1: same quarterback for four years. We got a new guy 547 00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:27,200 Speaker 1: every year, and so we got to get used to him. 548 00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:30,200 Speaker 1: He's got to get used to us. And there are 549 00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:36,280 Speaker 1: nuances to it. There's things that everyone just knows together 550 00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:40,240 Speaker 1: because they've been playing together and having that impact. And 551 00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:44,640 Speaker 1: I just thought that was a great illustration of what 552 00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:47,320 Speaker 1: is the best thing about Ryan Tannehill, which we knew 553 00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:49,680 Speaker 1: from the start, is he's tough. He is a tough, 554 00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:54,760 Speaker 1: tough guy. Continuity is vastly underrated. Farm Bureau Health Plans 555 00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:58,400 Speaker 1: has Continuity seventy five years of it, providing Tennesseeans with 556 00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:02,360 Speaker 1: high quality health coverage at an affordable cost.

We're on the field. Oh, 560 00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:16,040 Speaker 1: I was in the middle of the field. Jeffrey Simmons 561 00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:19,400 Speaker 1: is doing a jersey swap and so he's got like 562 00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:21,960 Speaker 1: a full arts and craft situation going on. There's like 563 00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:25,840 Speaker 1: the multiple sharpies involved. They've got everything laid out. They're 564 00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:29,560 Speaker 1: like down on their hands, and he loves Manta Sweat 565 00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:31,760 Speaker 1: and that's who he swapped with. Yes, that's one of 566 00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:33,240 Speaker 1: his best friends. You know. They came out in the 567 00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:36,120 Speaker 1: same draft class, and it was it was a whole 568 00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:39,880 Speaker 1: like experience. I've never seen someone lay it out as 569 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:42,920 Speaker 1: intricately as they had. No but like what if it 570 00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:47,560 Speaker 1: was available the bedazzler. It was intense and so they've 571 00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:49,920 Speaker 1: got all this stuff laid out. I'm standing there waiting 572 00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:52,479 Speaker 1: to do an interview. It's great that I hadn't started 573 00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:54,880 Speaker 1: doing that interview for Titans Radio because they would have 574 00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:57,080 Speaker 1: had to just play around me. I mean, I'm not moving, 575 00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:02,760 Speaker 1: but they so. Our PR guy Dwight Spradling comes over 576 00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:05,400 Speaker 1: and says, hey, I'm not sure if this is real, 577 00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:09,160 Speaker 1: but don't let anybody leave the field. Okay, So I'm 578 00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:11,400 Speaker 1: kind of like, what is this gonna be? So then 579 00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:14,680 Speaker 1: they come over the loudspeakers and they're saying, all right, 580 00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:18,280 Speaker 1: everybody needs to clear the field. Yeah. Everyone just kind 581 00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:23,080 Speaker 1: of looks around. Coaches scramble like rats, trying to just 582 00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:26,760 Speaker 1: find enough players to put on the field. They're running 583 00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:29,880 Speaker 1: up and down the sidelines. We're all clearing the field. 584 00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:32,760 Speaker 1: The equipment guys are very confused because they're shortened to 585 00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:35,720 Speaker 1: pack everything up, so they're confused about what's going on. 586 00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:38,760 Speaker 1: And I look back and I see Jeffrey Simmons just 587 00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:42,040 Speaker 1: like scooping up all of his stuff and just walking 588 00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:45,880 Speaker 1: to the sidelines. It was one of the weirder things 589 00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:49,480 Speaker 1: that I've experienced on the field in my time in 590 00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:52,239 Speaker 1: the National Football League. It was just very confusing. But 591 00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:54,480 Speaker 1: then I start thinking, am I gonna get in trouble 592 00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:55,959 Speaker 1: for being out on the field. I mean, I'm supposed 593 00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:57,800 Speaker 1: to be here, but like, shoot, I better get out 594 00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:01,600 Speaker 1: of here, so I start running real fast. It was weird. 595 00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:04,680 Speaker 1: It was very weird. The whole situation was odd. Would 596 00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:07,680 Speaker 1: you agree with the bizarre moments? Yes? Titans win twenty 597 00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:11,840 Speaker 1: one seventeen at Washington, and uh, that's going to wrap 598 00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:13,720 Speaker 1: it up. We've talked enough here for Reet Bryan and 599 00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:17,080 Speaker 1: Amy Wells. I'm Mike Keith.
