1
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:22,079
Speaker 1: Park in Nashville, Tennessee. This is the OTP. My name

2
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 1: is Mike Keith amy Wells is here podcasting to the

3
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 1: world we are I don't hate it because I understand

4
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 1: people are watching around the world. Oh sure, that's what

5
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,919
Speaker 1: I heard. Well, that's what I assume just of everything

6
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 1: we do. Glad you're here. Yeah, it's going to be here. Great.

7
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:41,480
Speaker 1: Jim Wyatt, Titans online dot Com senior writer editor here

8
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:44,519
Speaker 1: as always took the arc in this morning. Man, it's

9
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 1: a little gloomy. Huh. It's crazy. Been raining for what

10
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 1: five days? Five days? Wonder what the field's gonna look

11
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 1: like on Sunday, plenty green. I'm wearing rainboots, yes, justin case,

12
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 1: just in case. All right, so OTP plan had a

13
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 1: whole plan, well in charge, yet went out the window

14
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:07,959
Speaker 1: last night because of all the Richard Matthews news. Richard

15
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 1: Matthews last night confirming and then I guess via several

16
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 1: social media outlets, has continued to reinforce that he has

17
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 1: left the ball club. Where is this right now? Officially,

18
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,039
Speaker 1: we expect that the Titans will make some sort of

19
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 1: announcement about it this morning. John Robinson expected to comment

20
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 1: later this morning. It's a bit of a complicated process

21
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 1: because he's under contract. There are salary cap cap implications. Obviously,

22
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 1: there are union implications because he's part of the union.

23
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 1: The team has certain paperwork that they have to file.

24
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: So people wondering why the Titans haven't said anything yet.

25
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 1: There are things that have to be done. Yeah, that's

26
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 1: exactly right. I mean something this is something we've been

27
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 1: aware of obviously before Richard Matthews makes his post on

28
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: Instagram last night, and then people reacting to that, and

29
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: now you know, during this process, a general mandra obviously

30
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 1: has to work through some things. Vin Marino has to

31
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: work through some things, and you know, Richard matthew is

32
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 1: a guy who was a big part of this team

33
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: in years passed this year not so much. I mean,

34
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 1: three catches for eleven yards. And I've just seen some

35
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: of the reaction out there on social media here, people

36
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 1: talk about it, and and I guess unfortunate Rashard kind

37
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: of went public with it as it's being worked out.

38
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 1: But reality is, his team's won two games with him

39
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 1: catching three passes for eleven yards. This team has some

40
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: other receivers that can obviously step up and play if

41
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 1: it's if you'd told me this was going to happen

42
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 1: before the season started, I would have said, Okay, this

43
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 1: is a significant loss for this football team. But the

44
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 1: way this thing has played out so far, and again

45
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: seeing this team win twice with him not really been

46
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: a big part of the offense makes me think the

47
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 1: train can keep on rolling. And again, the mechanics of

48
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,919
Speaker 1: this driven in a different way because this has been

49
00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 1: a something the player has done, and so there are

50
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 1: things that you have to do and process. This is

51
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 1: not standard just waiving a player, signing another player and

52
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 1: moving on. But Richard Matthews making it clear that he

53
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 1: is leaving the ball club, several Titan receivers will get

54
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 1: more opportunities. I think, and this is just my opinion,

55
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: Amy Wells, you can take it from here, and if

56
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 1: you don't agree, that's okay. Certainly, Taja Sharpe had already

57
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 1: moved into the role as the guy opposite Corey Davis

58
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,079
Speaker 1: to this point, with Taywan Taylor also playing, they were

59
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: clearly the top three guys for Taj Sharpe. What a

60
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 1: big opportunity coming back off the injury. What a big

61
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 1: opportunity for Taywan Taylor. These guys are going to get

62
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 1: a chance to play tons of football now, and they

63
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 1: were already playing tons of football absolutely, I mean all

64
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 1: through training camp. Richard Matthews was not part of the equation.

65
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: He wasn't participating in training camps. So these guys have

66
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 1: already gotten a chance to get those reps, to get

67
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: the experience with Marcus Mariota, to learn this off super well,

68
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 1: and so things really can just kind of operate as

69
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 1: business as usual. Taj Sharpe has been stepping up, Taywan

70
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 1: Taylor has been stepping up. Corey Davis obviously is going

71
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 1: to continue doing what he's been doing. I think that

72
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 1: these guys have the opportunity to grow into bigger roles

73
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 1: now without the is there a number one receiver that's

74
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: around that's coming back? This takes some of the uncertainty

75
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 1: out of the equation. Yeah. And I'll say this that

76
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 1: you mentioned about doing it without him in training camp,

77
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 1: they did without him the entire offseason because he was

78
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 1: limited I shouldn't say limited. He was a part of

79
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 1: it at the very beginning and then he pretty much

80
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 1: went away. Wasn't a part of the ota. So this

81
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 1: is a group of receivers and add Nick Williams to

82
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 1: it again more recently for the second time they have

83
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 1: gotten plenty of reps have lived life without Rashard Matthews.

84
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,600
Speaker 1: You know most of the off season he came back.

85
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 1: You know, I got a lot of questions about why

86
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 1: he wasn't more productive early on. And some of it, obviously,

87
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 1: is him working himself back into shape. Another part of

88
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: it is some other guys were ahead of him in

89
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:06,039
Speaker 1: the pecking order and looking ahead to the future. You know,

90
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 1: this is a big moment for a lot of young

91
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 1: guys because it's huge. Yeah, I mean Richard Matthews. Reality is,

92
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: this probably was gonna be it for him as far

93
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 1: as I know. We signed an extension, but he was

94
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: going to have if he would have had to produce

95
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 1: big time. Yeah, and you're not getting extension with three catches,

96
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 1: you know, for eleven yards through three games. So reality is,

97
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 1: you're building some of these young guys to do it,

98
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 1: not just now, but for future seasons and h and

99
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,039
Speaker 1: now it's you know, turn them loose. Well, and all

100
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 1: of a sudden, some of these younger guys, Darius Jennings,

101
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 1: Nick Williams, they have a chance to move into that

102
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 1: fourth spot. You know what I'm saying. Everything shifts now

103
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,159
Speaker 1: and while at the top of the pecking order, I

104
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 1: guess the question mark kind of goes away. These are

105
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 1: the top guys now, so everyone kind of gets to

106
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 1: snake up and there's that fourth spot. Well and in

107
00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 1: Amy Wells wonders last week, you wanted to know why

108
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 1: they resigned Nick Williams, And part of the discussion that

109
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,919
Speaker 1: we had is Nick's versatility and special teams, but also

110
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:11,160
Speaker 1: the fact because he's been with Matt Lafleur before, he

111
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 1: can play in the offense. Clearly they were looking for

112
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 1: somebody who could take part in the offense. And while

113
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,239
Speaker 1: he wasn't up last week, I think there's a pretty

114
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: good chance Nick Williams could be involved this week. Yeah,

115
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,039
Speaker 1: and you saw Derris Jennings playing you know something last

116
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 1: week as well, so guys can get an opportunity. What

117
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 1: we've seen from Corey Davis so far has been good.

118
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 1: I think he's building confidence, he's playing with more of

119
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,600
Speaker 1: a swagger, he's making tough catches. Obviously, Taj Sharp has

120
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 1: had success in this league before. It's gonna get more opportunities.

121
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 1: Tawan Taylor, same way. As he's kind of building up

122
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 1: for a bigger role. So now you know, obviously there's

123
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 1: gonna be more on everybody anytime someone is not a

124
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: part of the equation, just like when Delanie Walker left,

125
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to have guys do more. But I

126
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,599
Speaker 1: do feel like this receiving corps is in a position

127
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 1: to do that because they've been doing more with out

128
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 1: him being available. So just to reinforce if you're just

129
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 1: joining us on this live edition of the OTP at

130
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 1: one time seven am, that everybody is aware of the

131
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 1: Richard Matthews situation, him making it public last night that

132
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 1: he has left the team. The team is expected to

133
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 1: make a statement in the very near future as soon

134
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 1: as some things are ironed out, and we do expect

135
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 1: that the general manager will have comments on this as well.

136
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 1: One of the questions the general manager and the team

137
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 1: and everybody speculating and everybody talking Titans today, what are

138
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 1: they going to do with the roster spot. Yeah, that's

139
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 1: a good question, and certainly you've got options. It doesn't

140
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 1: have to be a receiver this week, not necessarily, because

141
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 1: this is something that you know you could take your

142
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: time with because if you're bringing in somebody at that

143
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 1: position today or tomorrow. They're not going to play on Sunday,

144
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: So you could almost wait a week in order to

145
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 1: get that taken care of. You know already, you know

146
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 1: when this day ends two days into a practice week

147
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 1: in preparation for the Eagles. So I think I'd be surprised. Yeah,

148
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 1: I'd be shocked as my sign and plays on Sunday

149
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 1: for this team. It's just too late. Let's go ahead

150
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 1: and talk injury report. I don't I apologize for getting

151
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 1: away from your will, apologize to that crew after. I'm sorry,

152
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 1: I apologize everybody. It's kind of got thrown off. But

153
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 1: the injury report, I think becomes a big deal right

154
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 1: now if you're talking about how do you fill certain roles,

155
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 1: Because the one thing Richard Matthews was doing was returning

156
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 1: punts in place of a Dory Jackson. The good news

157
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 1: on the injury report, a Dory Jackson did everything in

158
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:45,719
Speaker 1: practice yesterday. So again you're not forced to make some

159
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 1: sort of roster move based on need here because a

160
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 1: Dory Jackson, it feels like, is going to be available. Yeah,

161
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 1: and all these concussions are different. I mean, you saw

162
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 1: tay Lawan and you knew that he was gonna miss

163
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 1: a week. I mean, Mike Vrabel reached out to him

164
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 1: that week before the Texas game, says, hey, you're not

165
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 1: playing this week. Don't worry about it. Taylor Wall was

166
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 1: knocked out in the game. You know, everybody's can cuss

167
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:11,560
Speaker 1: is different. Uh, you know, with the Dorry Jackson and

168
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 1: blame Gabbert the same way. You'll look at those guys

169
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,960
Speaker 1: on a case by case basis, and the Dories obviously

170
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,319
Speaker 1: was not quite as severe as the one Taylor hit.

171
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 1: Looks to me like he's a full participant in the

172
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,679
Speaker 1: first practice after that happens, that he's going to be

173
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 1: in a position to play. And now she mention kind

174
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,719
Speaker 1: of waiting on outside doctor to clear him, and Mike

175
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 1: Rabel signed it pretty confident that was gonna happen after

176
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 1: practice yesterday. So I expect a Dory Jackson to be

177
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:41,319
Speaker 1: available to play on Sunday, not just as a cornerback,

178
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 1: but also returning. And then this team has some other

179
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 1: options moving forward, you know, guys that can catch punts

180
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 1: and help you in the return game. I guess they

181
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 1: could just go fifty two this week and then have

182
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 1: six in actives, it does at this if they don't

183
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,239
Speaker 1: have a need. As we looked at the injury report

184
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 1: there with Conklind looking like he's coming back, where it's

185
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 1: starting to feel that way the Dennis Kelly thing, and

186
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 1: Dennis is not back to work yet after the as

187
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 1: he's been facing this illness that he's you know, been

188
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 1: dealing with for a couple of weeks. You don't feel

189
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 1: like you're so weak at some spot that you have

190
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 1: to do anything. Yeah, I agree, And so I do

191
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:25,960
Speaker 1: think at this point in the week that uh, you know,

192
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 1: if the spot is filled, the guy's not going to

193
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 1: be available on Sunday, or you could bring up somebody

194
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 1: from the practice squad if need be. I mean, we

195
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 1: don't know how to blame Gabbert situations plan out all.

196
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 1: Austin Davis obviously was signed in here for insurance. If

197
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 1: you know, if Blaine is makes a quick recovery, which

198
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 1: again again we're getting late on the week here, so

199
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 1: it's gonna be tougher. You might not even need the

200
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 1: third uh QB available. So some things still to work through.

201
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:55,679
Speaker 1: Uh you know, during a practice week that still got

202
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 1: two days left, Can I ask a quick question? Sure?

203
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 1: So if we only have fifty two people on our

204
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 1: active roster, are we then only obligated to keep down sick? Correct? Okay,

205
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 1: you can have forty six players active. Okay, I guess

206
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:13,080
Speaker 1: I never made that connection. That wouldn't be seven anymore. Yeah. Well,

207
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: and you know, they may decide to bring somebody up,

208
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 1: maybe Firks or comes back up. If you decide to

209
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 1: use four tight ends in this game, or if you

210
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 1: have an illness, I mean, you know, just like with

211
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:26,079
Speaker 1: your kids or somebody at work. People get sick. Yeah,

212
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 1: I mean it does, unfortunately happen Spillane at linebacker, maybe

213
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 1: to cover kicks if Korea can't go. I mean, you've

214
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 1: got you've got some options, and certainly going to be

215
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 1: more to discuss. But this has stirred the pot. This

216
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,560
Speaker 1: has changed the discussion from what was a week where

217
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 1: most of what was being talked about was the fantastic

218
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 1: win over Jacksonville. Absolutely, that's kind of been the talk

219
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 1: of talk of the town, is that we are on

220
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 1: top of the AFC South and we got these two

221
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 1: big wins, and now we've got something a little bit

222
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 1: different to talk about. Yeah, I think this locker room

223
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: is I mean a lot of years where you've got

224
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:08,080
Speaker 1: turmoil and things happen, it serves as a distraction. But uh,

225
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 1: this locker rooms at the point now where again you

226
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 1: kind of keep things moving. I mean, if you come

227
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 1: you have two big wins against Houston and Jacksonville. This

228
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:20,959
Speaker 1: leadership on this team is good. Uh yeah, I you

229
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 1: know players are aware of what's going on this did

230
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,560
Speaker 1: they weren't made aware of this when Richard Matthews sends

231
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 1: out an instagram of messes last night that that brought

232
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 1: it to everybody else's attention. They've known about this, so uh,

233
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,679
Speaker 1: they're focused on the Eagles. Uh. I don't look for

234
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 1: this to be a distraction for them moving forward. Obviously

235
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 1: they'll have to answer questions about today in the open

236
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 1: locker room uh period. But after that, um, it's like

237
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,320
Speaker 1: it's back to business as usual. The stars from the

238
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:52,319
Speaker 1: Jacksonville game, the running backs and how hard they ran

239
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 1: thirty five carries for one hundred and fifty yards against

240
00:12:55,360 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 1: that defense. Marcus Mariota, of course, coach I loved his

241
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,680
Speaker 1: comment on Monday at the press conference, Mike Rabel saying

242
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,200
Speaker 1: we don't win this game without Marcus Mariota. I love

243
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:09,319
Speaker 1: the blunt nature of that, even though it's team and

244
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 1: because the players recognize that and that's exciting to them.

245
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 1: And then on defense, jay On Brown playing one of

246
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 1: his best games, playing well on special teams, Crookshank showing

247
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 1: up again on special teams. And then what about Jarell Casey.

248
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 1: I mean, this guy's he's on fire right now. He is,

249
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 1: and you know, the Jural always plays with the high

250
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 1: motorn is always intense and always motivated that Jaguars bring

251
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,080
Speaker 1: out the best of him, obviously because of some you know,

252
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 1: some words and past games against them, but he's also

253
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 1: I think stronger and sturdier and more successful in the

254
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 1: trenches because of it. He had a couple of pounds

255
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:54,079
Speaker 1: this offseason because he felt like he wasn't holding it

256
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 1: up against the double teams as well as you had

257
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 1: in years past. So he made that appoint of emphasis

258
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 1: and it's showing up. I mean, you gotta love his effort,

259
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 1: love the way he gets after it, and then loves

260
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 1: the way he kind of box up his talk when

261
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 1: he goes out there in place. Absolutely. I mean, Darrell

262
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 1: Gacy is one of the guys who is known for

263
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 1: having whatever it is with Jacksonville. There have been words

264
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 1: exchange now nearly in the fight last year, weren't you okay?

265
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 1: So that depending on who you ask, I was in

266
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 1: the fight, okay, So it was great. Let's reset this.

267
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,880
Speaker 1: December thirty first, twenty seventeen, the dark and stormy night,

268
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 1: it was cold afternoon. Titans win fifteen to ten to

269
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 1: go to the playoffs. It had been a very chippy

270
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 1: game overall. Amy Wells is on the field at Nissan

271
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 1: Stadium to interview Jurrell Casey for the Jumbo, trying for

272
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 1: the jumbo, trying for the tight Titan vision. We had

273
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 1: just clinched the playoffs. This is huge. Darrell Casey's a leader.

274
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 1: This is going to be He's the guy to talk

275
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 1: to it. He's never been to the playoffs. This is

276
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 1: gonna be magical. I'm thinking he's gonna cry, and that's

277
00:14:57,680 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 1: gonna be And you know, and you know Jarrell w

278
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 1: And you've been with him for a long time, you

279
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 1: know his wife, you have a personal relationship with him.

280
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 1: So this is professionally and personally an exciting moment. Right,

281
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 1: This was going to be magical for me and so

282
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 1: I get him. We're excited, I say, congratulations, buddy. I'm

283
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 1: waiting for them. They're in my ear saying we're coming

284
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 1: to you. We're coming to you. Jarrell turns, looks at someone.

285
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 1: They exchange words. I hear Amy, We're coming to you.

286
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 1: And then a punch is thrown and I was like, no, no, no,

287
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 1: don't come to me in my microphone telling them not

288
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 1: to come to me. Meanwhile, these guys are fighting. I'm

289
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 1: just standing there watching. I felt pretty involved. Actually it

290
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 1: was great. If you look at pictures, there are fists

291
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 1: in the air and you're in there and I'm standing

292
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 1: there basically involved. It was great. And then Darrell came

293
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 1: up and apologized to me. Brian A. Rackpo told me

294
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:00,160
Speaker 1: that he was so impressed by how I just do

295
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 1: it in there. I'll tell you what, I have so

296
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 1: much credibility with the defensive line right now. It was

297
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 1: the greatest moment of my life. Well, it's so good,

298
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 1: let's show another moment. That's a little commerce that was

299
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 1: also great. You did a wonderful job on Monday Night

300
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 1: Live with Mike Vrabel because our gladiator of the game

301
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 1: was Darrell Casey. I thought it was really a good interview,

302
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 1: and we want to share it right now on the

303
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 1: OTP Titans team captain Darrell Casey, Darrell, how proud are

304
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 1: you of the way that the Titans defense performed against

305
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 1: the Jacksonville Jaguars? Actually speechless? Is it? I'm actually speechless, man,

306
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 1: I say, unbelievable, unbelievable performance. Everybody knew what the game

307
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 1: with the game was gonna come down to. Who knew

308
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 1: it was gonna be a defensive performance game and it's

309
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 1: gonna come our defense versus this and you know, we

310
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 1: just make sure when we came out that game, we

311
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 1: wasn't gonna leave without a win. And I think you know,

312
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 1: all week, everybody was prepared, prepared to go in all week,

313
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 1: were comparing people channing Jazz killers, jack killers, and like

314
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 1: we just took that mind heading him to the game.

315
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 1: Like you know, we've been playing these guys for, you know,

316
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 1: over years, and it's always a great game. It's always

317
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 1: good competition. But we had we was hungry. We knew

318
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 1: what was at state division titles on the line, and

319
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 1: we got opportunity to take too old in the division

320
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 1: and we took advantage of it. How did the loss

321
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:18,879
Speaker 1: of Blaine Gabbert in the first quarter impact the mindset

322
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 1: of the defense going forward. The biggest thing was like, Okay,

323
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, if they can't score

324
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:26,440
Speaker 1: on us, we can't lose. We knew that was that

325
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 1: was first thing going to the game. They can't score,

326
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 1: we can't lose. So our thing was a pitch a

327
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 1: shout out as much as we can. And once Blaine

328
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,159
Speaker 1: went down, it was more so, Okay, we got to

329
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:38,920
Speaker 1: now get turnovers, we got put our offense in better

330
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,719
Speaker 1: position down to help him out. But you know, Marcus

331
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,200
Speaker 1: came in and he handled the situation and really didn't

332
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 1: put too much stress on Its. Feel like we was

333
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 1: able to keep the same game plan going in. We

334
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:49,359
Speaker 1: didn't have to stress more and they just take a

335
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,199
Speaker 1: testament in all three phases, knowing what the game was

336
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:54,440
Speaker 1: at state, knowing what was going on, and really buying

337
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:56,920
Speaker 1: into the system. You had a sack in this last game.

338
00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:00,359
Speaker 1: You're doing something special with sacks though, You're donating money

339
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,919
Speaker 1: to the Starlight Children's Foundation. Tell me a little bit

340
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:05,679
Speaker 1: about that. For every sec I get this season, I

341
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 1: will be donating nine hundred and ninety nine dollars to

342
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:11,359
Speaker 1: a Starlight Foundation, which is a foundation that helps with

343
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 1: children that's dealing with terminal ild cancer. Mind sentence is

344
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 1: to go out think, get those sex for the kids,

345
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:18,639
Speaker 1: because in order to see smiles on the fest, I

346
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:21,200
Speaker 1: gotta produce and I'll make sure I do that. Speaking motivation,

347
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 1: this team has a lot of momentum right now. You're

348
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 1: looking forward to a big challenge in the Philadelphia Eagles.

349
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:29,880
Speaker 1: How do you bottle up the excitement around this team

350
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 1: right now and channel that in a positive way going forward?

351
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 1: We always have a mindset that twenty four hours to

352
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 1: enjoy that moment. But come come Tuesday night, you better

353
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:39,400
Speaker 1: be ready and geared in on your playbook and ready

354
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:41,639
Speaker 1: for the next opponent. We understand we got the champs

355
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:44,120
Speaker 1: coming into the arena and we're gonna lock those gates

356
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 1: and we prepared for a fight. And that's got to

357
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 1: be a mindset, and I think our team is ready

358
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:52,359
Speaker 1: to get it up. Monday Night Life with Mike Rabel,

359
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 1: Amy Wells doing a fine job. They're on a feature

360
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 1: we call the Gladiator of the Game. Well done, thank you,

361
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 1: all right, So more Amy Wells. It's time for Amy

362
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:05,440
Speaker 1: Wells Wonders on the OTP at we're giving time and weather,

363
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:10,160
Speaker 1: weather in traffic on the eights here. Good good morning everyone.

364
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 1: This is something that we have been wondering, or I

365
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 1: have been wondering since the game in Jacksonville, and I've

366
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 1: mentioned it to a couple of people. So let's just

367
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:24,119
Speaker 1: stop the madness now, Amy Wells wonders. Can we stop

368
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:29,160
Speaker 1: thinking that Marcus Mariota is injury prone and therefore soft

369
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 1: or fragile. Can we stop the madness? I think part

370
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 1: of that, you know, comes from people talking about McNair

371
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 1: and how tough McNair was, and I mean incredibly tough.

372
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 1: I think that performance the other day looked like Steve McNair.

373
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,480
Speaker 1: That was that was what he did. That was just

374
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 1: to find a way to win a ball game when

375
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 1: you don't have the best stuff. And there were some days, Jim,

376
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:00,359
Speaker 1: you saw all of his games. There were some days

377
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:03,119
Speaker 1: where he completed a lot of passes and threw for

378
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 1: over three hundred yards. He had the skin torn off

379
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 1: his thumb, his throwing thumb in the playoff game in

380
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:14,639
Speaker 1: early two thousand and three against Pittsburgh, and yet he

381
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:16,960
Speaker 1: took the team back down the field in overtime to

382
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:20,119
Speaker 1: get a win. I mean, there's so many there's so

383
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 1: many stories in so many tales. That performance the other

384
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 1: day looked like that, and he's done this more than once.

385
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:31,320
Speaker 1: The Barry Church stiff arm in the game at the

386
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 1: end of December last year, that's just making a play.

387
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:39,200
Speaker 1: That's more about what McNair did. Yeah, and that performance,

388
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 1: you know, I know we talked about it that it

389
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:44,400
Speaker 1: reminds a lot of the two thousand game in Pittsburgh

390
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 1: when Neil O'Donnell got knocked out with a concussion and

391
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:49,800
Speaker 1: Steve McNair came in late. They get threw three passes,

392
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 1: including a touchdown Aaron Kenny for the goal ahead touchdown,

393
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:56,119
Speaker 1: and the Titans one to see Mariota step in for

394
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:59,240
Speaker 1: Gabbert after he was concussed. It reminded me a lot

395
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:03,120
Speaker 1: of that day. And Steve mcneira clearly the toughest guy

396
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 1: I've ever been around. I say that Eddie George pretty

397
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:08,200
Speaker 1: darn tough too. Yeah. He was played in every every game,

398
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:11,920
Speaker 1: uh you know the start of his career, didn't miss

399
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 1: a start and played through a lot of injuries. It

400
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,880
Speaker 1: weren't as documented as as Steve's because he was playing

401
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 1: a different position. But I do hope that this puts

402
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:23,160
Speaker 1: some of that to bed. I mean, I think Marcus

403
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:25,960
Speaker 1: unfairly has been criticized by a lot of the fan

404
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 1: base four questions like this. I got tired of hearing

405
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 1: some of the jokes people making about him being made

406
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 1: a glass and and calling out his toughness. Again. Steven

407
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:39,639
Speaker 1: Nairs one of the toughest guys I remember, but he

408
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 1: missed some games too. Yeah, and we forget because I

409
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 1: went ahead, and I've given you a copy as well.

410
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:49,399
Speaker 1: I went ahead. I think this is the camera I

411
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 1: should look at and pulled. Steve McNair's injury reports from

412
00:21:55,400 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 1: his career is. Yeah, it's it's really lengthy. I mean,

413
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 1: Steve missed some games. He only had one year of

414
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 1: his last seven where he started all sixteen games. These

415
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:14,399
Speaker 1: were the injuries in his career ankle, chest, bruised chest, knee,

416
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:19,120
Speaker 1: right shoulder, back spasms, back spasms, right shoulder, concussion, dislocated

417
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 1: right finger, right calf, hand, growing left shoulder, his entire body.

418
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:25,679
Speaker 1: But that everything is coming. But that's part of I mean,

419
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 1: you know, Steve did not have a Sternham. When doctor

420
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 1: l Rod went in to operate on him to fix

421
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 1: his Sternham problem, he they found he did not have

422
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:41,919
Speaker 1: I guess breastbone proper. So his Sternham problem was that

423
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,920
Speaker 1: he had no sternam basically yeah, and so every time

424
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 1: he got hit there, they're like, no, wonder he brewed.

425
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 1: I mean, that's how tough he was. But I think

426
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 1: this injury history shows how tough a guy he was.

427
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:59,679
Speaker 1: And people with you know, years gone by, have forgotten

428
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 1: that he went through all of these things. And they

429
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 1: used to say, oh, McNair can't stay healthy. Yeah, I

430
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 1: s well, they not only said he couldn't stay healthy,

431
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 1: but they you know, I hate to bring back a

432
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 1: bad memory, but he had to deal with some of

433
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:16,119
Speaker 1: the same negativity surrounding his early part of his career.

434
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 1: I mean, he's two nineteen ninety five draft pick. During

435
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,439
Speaker 1: the nineteen ninety nine season, it's called like it is

436
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 1: he's getting booed in the first in the ninety nine

437
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 1: game when he was brought back on the field and

438
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 1: end up winning that game against the Bengals with another

439
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:35,679
Speaker 1: heroic performance. But that entire season, and he had a

440
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 1: back injury that year that led Neil o'donald to take

441
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:42,160
Speaker 1: in his place, and when he came back, a good

442
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 1: portion of fan base didn't want him back in the lineup.

443
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 1: They want Ramsey lo o'donalds. So here he is five

444
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 1: years This is longer than Marcus Marriold has been playing.

445
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:55,120
Speaker 1: Five years into his career, people were questioning him. You'll

446
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:57,879
Speaker 1: look back now twenty years later, people forget about that stuff.

447
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,040
Speaker 1: But the same stuff that Marcus Mario was dealing with.

448
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:02,639
Speaker 1: Now people question his toughness, whether or not he can

449
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:06,680
Speaker 1: make it. Stevemennier lit walked that same path, and uh,

450
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 1: and hopefully one day Marcus Mario was gonna get to

451
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:13,679
Speaker 1: the point where his career takes off, he gets another contract,

452
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:16,440
Speaker 1: people look back at his career the same way and

453
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 1: and maybe people will forget about some of the stuff

454
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 1: he had to deal with already. But this reality is

455
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,120
Speaker 1: he's dealing with the exact same stuff Steve mcnier did.

456
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 1: But a lot of these people chiming in either don't

457
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 1: want to remember that or don't remember it because there's

458
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:32,200
Speaker 1: a lot of it. A guy on Twitter came at

459
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 1: the other day. It was was insulted about a comparison

460
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 1: from Marioda to McNair. Kid was probably, you know, judging

461
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:41,880
Speaker 1: from his Twitter picture in his late twenties, which would

462
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 1: have put him, you know, probably about six seven years old,

463
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 1: when Mariota was going, did you give him the back

464
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:49,359
Speaker 1: in my day? I did give him out. I didn't

465
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:51,160
Speaker 1: give him the back of my day. I did give him.

466
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:53,160
Speaker 1: I think I'll remember his career a little bit better

467
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 1: than you do. He's probably watching Teletubby's back nice. That's

468
00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:59,360
Speaker 1: the most shade that Jim Wyatt will ever throw through

469
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:03,640
Speaker 1: teletub I might remember it possibly better than you did, sir.

470
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 1: Thank you for your comment. And then he actually fired

471
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 1: back at me about seven hours later and then deleted

472
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 1: the tweak because it hadn't had a lot of typos

473
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 1: and uh a lot of like I was gonna respond

474
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 1: to yet about have a good day, because uh, I

475
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:20,200
Speaker 1: was letting it go. At that point he came back.

476
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 1: I said, Okay, I'm gonna still just folks, take the

477
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 1: high road and don't mess with Jim Watt. He rarely,

478
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 1: he rarely takes the high road, and I don't bring

479
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 1: those typos. And I don't like telling I never liked

480
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 1: tell a Tubbies either my kids were growing up. I

481
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:36,400
Speaker 1: always tried to discourage it from watching. Very was on board.

482
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:39,920
Speaker 1: I liked, you know, I lose Clues. I could watch

483
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 1: some Blues Clues and certainly like kill Steve Elmo Elmo. Yeah,

484
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 1: but uh tell it, tubbies. Creepy, creepy. This is not

485
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 1: on my right. But you know, part of it is

486
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 1: we this may have digressed. It had um playing quarterbacks hard.

487
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 1: I mean what I mean when when you compare this

488
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:05,119
Speaker 1: list and you see what Steve went through, and you

489
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:07,880
Speaker 1: see the questions and you understand some of the injuries

490
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:10,400
Speaker 1: that Marcus Mariota has gone through and what he has

491
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:12,639
Speaker 1: to endure. This is part of the job. This is

492
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 1: why you get the big money. This is why when

493
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 1: they promote Sunday Night Football, it's your picture and Ben

494
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 1: Roethlisberger's picture or Aaron Rodgers picture and Eli man. I mean,

495
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:25,720
Speaker 1: this is the job. It was the job when Steve

496
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:29,200
Speaker 1: McNair did it. It was the job when Roger Staubach

497
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:32,120
Speaker 1: did it. It was the job when Bart Starr did it.

498
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:34,159
Speaker 1: I don't think it's ever going to change. It is

499
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:38,879
Speaker 1: the toughest position in sports because you deal with everything

500
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:41,960
Speaker 1: and you have to. You've got to manage every part

501
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:46,399
Speaker 1: of it, the expectations, the criticism. You know, you really

502
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 1: have to block out the noise and do just what

503
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 1: Marcus did last Sunday, come in and win a ball game,

504
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 1: right exactly. And I think that Marcus, Marcus Mariota has

505
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 1: ice in his veins. He just does. And so he

506
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 1: is going to do whatever it takes. He doesn't get rattled.

507
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:04,200
Speaker 1: Can he fill his fingers, we don't know, doesn't matter.

508
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:07,400
Speaker 1: He's gonna come in and win the ball game. And yeah,

509
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:10,119
Speaker 1: and the reality is this wasn't a situation either. You know,

510
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:12,920
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people were chiming in, you know, well,

511
00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:15,119
Speaker 1: Parcus can play, why didn't he start? I mean, this

512
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 1: is this is a bad look for him because he

513
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 1: should have been playing and begin whether he's not making

514
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 1: the decision or whether he starts not. Obviously he's talking

515
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 1: it through with Mike Rabel, the training staff. John Robinson's

516
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:27,800
Speaker 1: in on that conversation. Then they make a decision based

517
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 1: on what they see him practice, whether or not he

518
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:32,199
Speaker 1: give them the best chance to win. We get to

519
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 1: watch practice. It's tough to argue with the decision the

520
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 1: coaching staff made based on some of the stuff we

521
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 1: saw in practice. He looks he's looking better now, but

522
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:45,119
Speaker 1: do you try to guy out there who tried to

523
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 1: play through this injury in the opener and through interceptions

524
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,840
Speaker 1: on back to back passes, and know that you know,

525
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:52,919
Speaker 1: if you put him out there, you could see some

526
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 1: of that same stuff. No, yeah, that's why the team

527
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 1: played playing Gabett, playing Gabbertt played well enough for the

528
00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 1: team to win against the Texans. They felt the same

529
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 1: way going in to Jacksonville that game wasn't shaping up

530
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:05,159
Speaker 1: great by the pressure that Jacksonville was putting on a

531
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:08,879
Speaker 1: Marcus steps in after Gabricus Concuss did a great job,

532
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 1: rose to the occasion. Mike Rabel says he didn't rise

533
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:13,359
Speaker 1: to occasion. He said, they did what it kind of

534
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 1: expected him to do. But he came off the bench,

535
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 1: played extremely well, proved to be a gamer, which is

536
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 1: what McNair did. And and what kind of Marcus his

537
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:27,199
Speaker 1: makeup is? I mean, he stepped in even though he

538
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 1: wasn't necessarily expecting to play, and he played well. And

539
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 1: uh and now you hope that he can kind of

540
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:37,720
Speaker 1: put this behind him. With Gabbert potentially out still in

541
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 1: concussion protocol, Titan signed seventh year veteran Austin Davis and

542
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:46,840
Speaker 1: Dave McGinnis, our good friend Titans Radio Zone. He had

543
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 1: Austin Davis with him when he was with the Rams.

544
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 1: We said it on Tuesday Nights show, on the Coaches

545
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:55,920
Speaker 1: Show Tuesday United. It's the six degrees of separation of

546
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 1: Dave McGinnis. Everyone who has ever been involved with the

547
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 1: NFL has some connection to Dave McGinnis. And sure enough

548
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 1: he played for the Saint Louis Rams when coach Mack

549
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 1: was there with Jeff Fisher, Dave with nothing but glowing

550
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 1: reviews of this guy. What did the two of you

551
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 1: see off Austin Davis in practice yesterday? You know he

552
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:16,960
Speaker 1: moves arould well, certainly has a good arm. It's a

553
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 1: tough situation when you're coming. It's one thing to get

554
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:21,600
Speaker 1: to be signed and spend the entire offseason. Then if

555
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:23,760
Speaker 1: you're needed, you can play. It's another thing to be

556
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 1: signed on a Tuesday, practice on a Wednesday, have the

557
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 1: potential to play on Sunday. If Gubb's not ready and

558
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:33,680
Speaker 1: something happens to Marcus. He said he'll get up to speed,

559
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 1: he'll have a package of plays, He'll be able to

560
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 1: run the offense. I thought it was funny he said

561
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 1: he joined a gym for the first time, bless you.

562
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 1: He joined a gym for the first time ever because

563
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 1: he's always had a place to work out he's been

564
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:48,920
Speaker 1: in the league. He joined a gym back in Seattle

565
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 1: just to kind of stay fresh. He found a buddy

566
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:52,920
Speaker 1: that he was thrown with to get ready. He said,

567
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 1: he'll have a package of plays, or he'll know the plays.

568
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 1: He said, I won't necessarily know the guy's names in

569
00:29:57,600 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 1: the huddle, but I expect to know the plays if

570
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 1: they need me. He's confident that he can get it done.

571
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 1: And you know, certainly they feel coaching staff and John

572
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 1: Robinson feel the same way. Well, Marcus Mariota seemed to.

573
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 1: He talked to the media after practice yesterday and he

574
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 1: seemed to think that he was doing well given the circumstances.

575
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 1: And Marcus had said, you know, I'm here's a resource.

576
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 1: I'm happy to help however I can. Marcus knows that

577
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 1: the better this guy does and the faster he gets

578
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 1: up to speed, the better it is for everybody. So

579
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 1: it's nice that he has that resource to lean on.

580
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 1: He's got someone who is very knowledgeable of the plays

581
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:36,800
Speaker 1: of the system and can kind of help him at

582
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 1: least have a small foundation to stand on if he

583
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 1: needs to on Sunday, and you hope he doesn't play.

584
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 1: I mean, that's what the rallity is is you hope

585
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:46,520
Speaker 1: he doesn't see the field, because if he sees the field,

586
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:49,280
Speaker 1: that means if something happened, something has happened to Marcus Mariota,

587
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:51,920
Speaker 1: and it means that Blaine Gabbert was in a position

588
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:54,760
Speaker 1: to play. So he is clearly the backup plan. And

589
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:57,200
Speaker 1: people have asked, you know me, why would you bring

590
00:30:57,240 --> 00:30:59,400
Speaker 1: a guy like that in? And there's some other quarterbacks

591
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 1: out there? How many other quarterbacks, and one in particular

592
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 1: who always seems to come up, are gonna be willing

593
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 1: to come in in a scenario where hey, we may

594
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 1: need you, we may not. This may be a one

595
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 1: week deal and then you're packing your bags and leaving.

596
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:14,880
Speaker 1: That's not a scenario a lot of guys want to

597
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 1: take on. But Austin Davis, you know, who's trying to

598
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 1: keep his name out there and keep it a spot

599
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:24,240
Speaker 1: potentially open for him somewhere on the league. He jumped

600
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:27,400
Speaker 1: at the chance. Well because and this is something that

601
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 1: I don't think gets discussed enough when you're talking about

602
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks decision as to where to sign. You can

603
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:38,120
Speaker 1: sign on Monday and they can cut you on on Saturday.

604
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 1: If they need a roster spot, they can say, oh,

605
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 1: we got what Baink Gabbett's back, so we need a

606
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:46,959
Speaker 1: roster spot, so see you. So it's a lot a

607
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:50,480
Speaker 1: lot of quarterbacks don't choose to sign in different places

608
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 1: unless they have roles spelled out for their agents. Unless

609
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:57,680
Speaker 1: they know, unless they're listen, we're gonna keep you for

610
00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:00,240
Speaker 1: a month. We can promise you we're gonna you know,

611
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:03,120
Speaker 1: and they don't want to go bad on promises to agents,

612
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 1: so generally they follow through. Teams follow through on things

613
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:08,720
Speaker 1: like that. In most cases, you don't get any promises.

614
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 1: You're just looking, as you said, to keep your name out. Yeah,

615
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,640
Speaker 1: and next time somebody has an opening, they think, okay,

616
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:17,080
Speaker 1: Austin Davis, you know, was signed by the Titans. At

617
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:19,800
Speaker 1: least he's fresh, he's been in instead of signing a

618
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 1: guy who hasn't been on a team, you know, since

619
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:25,920
Speaker 1: training camp. So because it shows you want to play too, Yes,

620
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 1: this guy was willing to go in there for however

621
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:31,760
Speaker 1: long they gave him with no guarantee. This guy's willing

622
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 1: to play. We want this guy in our locker room.

623
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:36,200
Speaker 1: We want this guy with our football team. A lot

624
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:38,840
Speaker 1: of times you're making a statement about how much you

625
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:41,800
Speaker 1: want to be involved. Well, and coach Mack even said

626
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:44,240
Speaker 1: that he was a good locker room exact. Guys like

627
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 1: to play with him, they want to play for him.

628
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:51,240
Speaker 1: All of that contributes to bringing someone in, especially a backup.

629
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:54,120
Speaker 1: You want a guy that can command the team a

630
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:56,040
Speaker 1: little bit. Sorry, I want to throw something else out

631
00:32:56,080 --> 00:33:00,440
Speaker 1: here too. So Richard Matthews has left the team. Titans

632
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 1: don't have Delaney Walker. Obviously, you've got to have options

633
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:06,920
Speaker 1: to catch the football. Let's talk about John U. Smith.

634
00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:12,000
Speaker 1: John U. Smith has not been as active in catching

635
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:14,760
Speaker 1: the football. He is two catches for twenty one yards

636
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 1: in the first three games, and so everybody's kind of

637
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 1: wondering about his role. How much potentially does Jack Coughlin's

638
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:28,160
Speaker 1: return help John U. Smith from the standpoint that his

639
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 1: blocking responsibilities aren't as great as they were and suddenly

640
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:36,640
Speaker 1: he has a chance to become more of a receiver.

641
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 1: Because it seems as though John Nu Who's playing tons

642
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:44,720
Speaker 1: of snaps right now, it seems like he has had

643
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:48,960
Speaker 1: to be so involved in helping shore up the offensive line,

644
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 1: the other role of a tight end that maybe he

645
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,320
Speaker 1: hasn't gotten to be the receiver. Am I missing it?

646
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:56,720
Speaker 1: I think that's a good observation because the John U.

647
00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:59,240
Speaker 1: Smith isn't as active in the passing game as maybe

648
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:02,400
Speaker 1: even affected him to be. But he played fifty seven

649
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 1: of sixty two snaps. That's ninety two percent of the

650
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:09,719
Speaker 1: snaps and NFL g SIS did the math for me

651
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:14,160
Speaker 1: on that. But I do think that, uh, you know,

652
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:18,640
Speaker 1: you get confin back, you maybe allow John new Smith

653
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:20,960
Speaker 1: to do a little bit more. Uh, you know, there

654
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:23,920
Speaker 1: will be certain packages potentially you could play an extra tackle. Unfortunately,

655
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:27,040
Speaker 1: this team has just been ravaged by injuries at positions

656
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:31,120
Speaker 1: and dealing without Dennis Kelly and dealing without Kevin Palmfield.

657
00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:33,880
Speaker 1: Now moving forward, you're not able to use some of

658
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:37,560
Speaker 1: the stuff that extra line packages, like extra tackle in

659
00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 1: the game. You can't do some of the stuff. So

660
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:42,080
Speaker 1: that falls on John new Smith and that uh certainly

661
00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:44,200
Speaker 1: falls on Luke stock or you hope that they'll get

662
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:46,440
Speaker 1: to the point where he'll be more of a factor

663
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:49,000
Speaker 1: in the offense. And I think I think that's gonna

664
00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 1: have to happen. Yeah, Dennis Kelly because of the situation

665
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:57,280
Speaker 1: with Conklin and then the situation with Lawan. We haven't

666
00:34:57,320 --> 00:35:00,360
Speaker 1: seen the jumbo jumbo package yet. Where Kelly comes in

667
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:03,200
Speaker 1: is the third tight end, and the last two years,

668
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:05,799
Speaker 1: it's been something the Titans have used and a lot

669
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:09,680
Speaker 1: of NFL teams use it. It's certainly something you want

670
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:13,000
Speaker 1: to have available, right you know you. I mean, it

671
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:14,800
Speaker 1: doesn't mean. I don't know how much Matt Lafleur is

672
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:16,719
Speaker 1: going to run it, but it has been effective and

673
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 1: so you're like, hey, let's pull it out. Let's give

674
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 1: a team a different look. They haven't even had that

675
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:24,160
Speaker 1: ability yet because of where they've been. I think John

676
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:26,799
Speaker 1: Nu may I'm not gonna say he may explode, but

677
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:29,120
Speaker 1: I think we're going to see him take off more

678
00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:31,000
Speaker 1: in the past game. Well, we know that he has

679
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:33,640
Speaker 1: the ability to do that. We've seen him do it before.

680
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:36,840
Speaker 1: And I think that this goes all the way back

681
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:40,400
Speaker 1: to July when we are talking about, well do we

682
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:43,560
Speaker 1: have question marks at receiver? Ah, we have Delaney Walker. Well,

683
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:46,799
Speaker 1: then we lose Delaney Walker. Ah, we have Johnny Smith. Well,

684
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:49,880
Speaker 1: we need Johnnu to be blocking more, as you've said,

685
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:55,080
Speaker 1: so hopefully now getting some of our main blocking power back,

686
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:58,320
Speaker 1: we'll be able to do some of those auxiliary things.

687
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:00,759
Speaker 1: Like you guys have been well a five man protection

688
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 1: and they may have. I mean, for all I know,

689
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:05,560
Speaker 1: they may have been running five man protection every time,

690
00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:07,640
Speaker 1: but it seems like there's been help or there's been

691
00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 1: a chip on the way out, or you know, things

692
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:13,719
Speaker 1: of that sort. And to the communication, I mean, Conklin's

693
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:17,360
Speaker 1: not new, right, that's a that's a big deal because

694
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:20,560
Speaker 1: it's almost been like Josh Klein has been reaching over

695
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks agoing hello, I'm Josh Klein.

696
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:27,080
Speaker 1: When Dennis, when Dennis Kelly was there, he had at

697
00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:30,800
Speaker 1: least established that with Dennis and had played with him before,

698
00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:33,799
Speaker 1: of course, But the point being, when Dennis goes down,

699
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:38,160
Speaker 1: you're like Tyler Merritt's Kevin Palm feel. I mean, for

700
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:41,640
Speaker 1: them to switch out like that, what an amazing job.

701
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:44,640
Speaker 1: And I'll take it another step further. I thought the

702
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 1: play calling of Matt Lafleur in the second half of

703
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:51,560
Speaker 1: that ball game the other day was phenomenal, and I

704
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:54,880
Speaker 1: thought he's done some good things. But you know, because

705
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:58,560
Speaker 1: the Titans right now don't have a big average in

706
00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:02,760
Speaker 1: terms of total off at that doesn't mean anything towards

707
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 1: good coaching. You coach what you have at that moment

708
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:08,000
Speaker 1: and find a way to win, and that young man

709
00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:11,000
Speaker 1: has been doing it. I'll say this coaching staff overall

710
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:15,960
Speaker 1: has really impressed me with being able to look and say, listen,

711
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:18,400
Speaker 1: this is what we've got, how do we turn it

712
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:21,239
Speaker 1: into something? And they've done it the last two weeks.

713
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:23,239
Speaker 1: Matt Laflour kind of had to do that on the

714
00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:27,000
Speaker 1: fly last week and say, listen, this is what we've got.

715
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:30,759
Speaker 1: Here are his limitations, here's what we're working with over here.

716
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:35,160
Speaker 1: Let's make something happen. And he did, and you hope

717
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:37,359
Speaker 1: moving forward that they can expand it. And I think

718
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:40,239
Speaker 1: it's going to happen. Man. You know, the longest completion

719
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 1: was twenty yards if my memory's right. Against Jacksonville. The

720
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:48,600
Speaker 1: longest pass I think was right around thirty four thirty

721
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:52,320
Speaker 1: five is an incomplete pass that drew an interference penalty.

722
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:55,520
Speaker 1: It was a great call, yes, So you know, I

723
00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:58,319
Speaker 1: think the expectation is that you're going to be able

724
00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:01,680
Speaker 1: to expand things even more and not be handcuffed from

725
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:04,520
Speaker 1: a play calling standpoint, which is great, but in the meantime.

726
00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:08,640
Speaker 1: You know Matt Lafleur, you know Mike Vrabel, you know

727
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:10,640
Speaker 1: dem Piece on the other side. This guy has done

728
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:13,239
Speaker 1: a great job just being creative with things, you know,

729
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:17,960
Speaker 1: whether it's on offense, adding the wildcat, or trying to

730
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:21,600
Speaker 1: trick play on special teams, doing some things with Marcus

731
00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:24,160
Speaker 1: Mariota last week to kind of get him into more

732
00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:28,120
Speaker 1: open space to make plays. I think the I can't

733
00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:31,319
Speaker 1: imagine the first year head coach and a brand new

734
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:33,360
Speaker 1: staff having to take on as much as this group

735
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:35,640
Speaker 1: has at the beginning, starting with a seven hour game

736
00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:39,600
Speaker 1: with two lightning delays. But to be able to overcome

737
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:42,480
Speaker 1: some of that and to win two games in the process,

738
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 1: you know, I think it's a great sign mover forward.

739
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:47,440
Speaker 1: It's funny you mentioned that because earlier in the show

740
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 1: I made a list of weird things that have happened

741
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:53,960
Speaker 1: in twenty eighteen. Think about the fact that this coaching

742
00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:58,640
Speaker 1: staff has only been coaching together in the regular season

743
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:01,200
Speaker 1: for three weeks. Four weeks weeks now, this is week four.

744
00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:05,760
Speaker 1: They have had to overcome a seven hour game, losing

745
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:08,760
Speaker 1: Delaney Walker, who's a huge part of the offense, Marcus

746
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:11,560
Speaker 1: Mariota in the first game not really being able to

747
00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:14,800
Speaker 1: feel his fingers. Then you go into a game missing

748
00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:19,800
Speaker 1: your top three tackles, Then your backup quarterback is concussed,

749
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 1: you bring in your starting quarterback who still kind of

750
00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:25,160
Speaker 1: can't feel his fingers at that time, and now you

751
00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:29,319
Speaker 1: have your number one receiver leaving the team from Wednesday. Well, yes,

752
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:33,240
Speaker 1: leaving your team on a Wednesday. None of this stuff

753
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:36,480
Speaker 1: is normal. These are not things that half of these

754
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:40,360
Speaker 1: things teams don't encounter. Right in the first three weeks

755
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:45,799
Speaker 1: four weeks of a season. This coaching staff, whether they've

756
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:47,759
Speaker 1: known each other for a million years or not, is

757
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:51,040
Speaker 1: doing such a good job of taking this team and

758
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:55,719
Speaker 1: adjusting and adapting to insanity. And I'm so proud. Yeah,

759
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:58,600
Speaker 1: I mean, part of being an NFL players you've got

760
00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:01,920
Speaker 1: to handle adversity. In uh, it's a lot of adversity

761
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:05,160
Speaker 1: there on that sheet of paper. But the team you

762
00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:07,880
Speaker 1: know now is in a good position with a quarter

763
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:10,200
Speaker 1: mark of the season coming up when and the defending

764
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:12,440
Speaker 1: Super Bowl champions coming to town, where you've got a

765
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:16,760
Speaker 1: chance to finish at three and one, which I think anybody,

766
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:19,640
Speaker 1: if you've pitched that to him at the beginning, would

767
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:22,080
Speaker 1: have taken it, and especially when you have a lot

768
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:25,560
Speaker 1: of things like that unfold. So uh, props to you know,

769
00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:28,200
Speaker 1: the coaching staff and for players to stepping up and

770
00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:32,040
Speaker 1: now your hope that things will start to settle down.

771
00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:34,120
Speaker 1: You get a quarterback that gets healthier, you've got a

772
00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:37,640
Speaker 1: right tackle that steps in and plays you. You know,

773
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:41,680
Speaker 1: you don't have the injured reserve list continued grow like

774
00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:45,160
Speaker 1: it has. That's one thing this team had last year. Health,

775
00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:49,160
Speaker 1: great health, and and I think yeah, and I think,

776
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:52,600
Speaker 1: you know, people were so shocked by uh, this change.

777
00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:54,200
Speaker 1: I don't know if people were shocked, but when you

778
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:58,160
Speaker 1: make a coaching change after playoff season, you know, when

779
00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:00,719
Speaker 1: you win nine games, you don't see that much. But

780
00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:03,480
Speaker 1: that was a year when a lot of things went

781
00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:05,759
Speaker 1: right and you didn't have a lot of injuries. And

782
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:09,120
Speaker 1: if that's all you can do with it, you don't

783
00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:11,400
Speaker 1: have to wonder how much better it's gonna be moving

784
00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:14,879
Speaker 1: forward in terms of the division. It was a missed opportunity. Yeah,

785
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:16,800
Speaker 1: you know, it was all It was all right there

786
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:19,000
Speaker 1: in front of you, and they thought they blew it.

787
00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:22,640
Speaker 1: They thought they blew the AFC South with it right

788
00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:25,759
Speaker 1: there in your eight and four going into the month

789
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:29,080
Speaker 1: of December. If you take care of your business, you

790
00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:32,040
Speaker 1: win the division. Everybody gets hats and T shirts, and

791
00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:34,239
Speaker 1: you got a home playoff game at Nissan Stadium, And

792
00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:37,000
Speaker 1: if you're gonna go to the super Bowl, you need

793
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:40,279
Speaker 1: to play at least one home playoff game, right. I

794
00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:43,040
Speaker 1: mean it's hard to go on the road three times

795
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:45,160
Speaker 1: and do it and that's where you want to go.

796
00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:50,280
Speaker 1: You gave that away in December. You simply between Arizona

797
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:53,040
Speaker 1: San Francisco and then the game against the Rams. Not

798
00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:55,759
Speaker 1: as much as the game against the Rams. But you're right, Jim.

799
00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:59,440
Speaker 1: I mean, it's almost like it's gotten flipped. All of

800
00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:02,719
Speaker 1: the thing that lined up last year have gone the

801
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:06,840
Speaker 1: opposite way to this point in twenty eighteen, and it

802
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:10,239
Speaker 1: looks like this ball club is handling adversity better than

803
00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:12,759
Speaker 1: that ball club. Yeah, I do agree. I mean, if

804
00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:14,400
Speaker 1: things are not going to be set up for you

805
00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:17,040
Speaker 1: better than last season, because you were able to have

806
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:19,799
Speaker 1: Marcus Marty to healthy for all but one game. You know,

807
00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:22,320
Speaker 1: he sat out the game in Miami with the hamstring injury,

808
00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:24,680
Speaker 1: and you didn't have a long list of people on

809
00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:28,560
Speaker 1: injured reserve, but still came up short. Of winning the

810
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:32,200
Speaker 1: AFC South and this year all those things that Amy

811
00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:35,440
Speaker 1: just documented, in addition to looking at injury reserve that

812
00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:38,000
Speaker 1: already has seven players on it, and granted some of

813
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:40,920
Speaker 1: these guys, you know, uh, we're not necessarily going to

814
00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:44,160
Speaker 1: be kind, but Jonathan Sipprings, you're starting safety. You know,

815
00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:47,080
Speaker 1: Delaney Walkers, you're starting tight end. Thy Smiths was gonna

816
00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:49,680
Speaker 1: help depth, Nate Palmer was gonna help you on special teams.

817
00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:52,120
Speaker 1: You've got other guys during the course of the season

818
00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:55,000
Speaker 1: who haven't been available, and you're able to able to

819
00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:57,360
Speaker 1: overcome some of that stuff. Now, that's a long season.

820
00:42:57,600 --> 00:43:00,560
Speaker 1: We've still got thirteen games left to play, so you

821
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:04,319
Speaker 1: can't celebrate success after three games. But you have to

822
00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:06,959
Speaker 1: like the trend and where things are going and how

823
00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:10,800
Speaker 1: this coaching staff is handling things. I knew OTP feature

824
00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:14,759
Speaker 1: beginning today looking at the AFC South, we're we're in

825
00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:18,759
Speaker 1: the fall and so the Titans are two and oh

826
00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:20,560
Speaker 1: in the a f C South. So let's take a

827
00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:23,600
Speaker 1: look at what else is going on in the AFC

828
00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:26,600
Speaker 1: South this weekend. I mean, Houston being o and three

829
00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:31,920
Speaker 1: at this point sucks for them. Well, they've got to

830
00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:35,319
Speaker 1: go to Indianapolis, who's one and two, and I mean,

831
00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:39,960
Speaker 1: what a pressure game that they have on them at

832
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:43,799
Speaker 1: this point. I mean, Houston is in a big situation. Yeah,

833
00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:46,920
Speaker 1: they're it's kind of do or diet this point for them.

834
00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:50,200
Speaker 1: They've got to get something rolling. I mean it's just

835
00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:53,840
Speaker 1: that simple. Yeah, I guess that's a bigger surprise at

836
00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:56,680
Speaker 1: the divisions for four and Andy has you know, is

837
00:43:56,680 --> 00:44:00,279
Speaker 1: a play away from beating Philly and being two one

838
00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:04,839
Speaker 1: right now. So I guess Houston's fall back a little

839
00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:08,759
Speaker 1: bit and Indianapolis looking better with luck or some of

840
00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:12,200
Speaker 1: the things that stand out most. We're not talking about

841
00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:14,799
Speaker 1: the Titans. I mean, Jacks are what I thought they

842
00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:17,839
Speaker 1: would be. I mean, they're good, really good team. Went

843
00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:19,759
Speaker 1: in there and won a big game on Sunday. But

844
00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:22,680
Speaker 1: that's a good football team that's gonna be around all seasons. Well,

845
00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:26,080
Speaker 1: and they've got the Jets this weekend, and in playing that,

846
00:44:26,239 --> 00:44:28,319
Speaker 1: I mean, and they're at home against the Jets, they're

847
00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:31,160
Speaker 1: gonna beat the Jets. Which is why I think the

848
00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:34,919
Speaker 1: win last weekend was so big, because if Jacksonville wins

849
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:37,680
Speaker 1: that game and then they beat the Jets, they're four

850
00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:40,240
Speaker 1: and oz and then all of a sudden, they're starting

851
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:44,000
Speaker 1: to believe look at us, you know, look at it.

852
00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:47,640
Speaker 1: And while they're still gonna be good, slowing down the

853
00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:50,520
Speaker 1: train in the NFL, if you're if you're a division

854
00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:52,960
Speaker 1: rival is always a good thing to do well and

855
00:44:53,320 --> 00:44:56,680
Speaker 1: continuing to be the achilles heel for a team. You know,

856
00:44:56,840 --> 00:44:59,200
Speaker 1: they will always have a thing for the Titans, and

857
00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:04,400
Speaker 1: the Jackson Titans will forever be rivals. They will forever

858
00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:06,880
Speaker 1: be the teams that go at each other's throats. But

859
00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:09,279
Speaker 1: to have them just a little bit right now, to

860
00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:12,319
Speaker 1: have their number, have them by the tail, if you will,

861
00:45:13,760 --> 00:45:16,760
Speaker 1: I think it's a really good place for the Titans

862
00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:19,359
Speaker 1: to be in. And getting that first win in their

863
00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:22,799
Speaker 1: place even better. And the Titans two and oh in

864
00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:26,840
Speaker 1: the division don't play another division game until November the eighteenth,

865
00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:31,760
Speaker 1: thank god, at Indianapolis, and then the next week Monday

866
00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:35,279
Speaker 1: Night Football at Houston on November twenty sixth, and then

867
00:45:35,520 --> 00:45:39,799
Speaker 1: ten days after that Jacksonville on Thursday Night here. So

868
00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:42,320
Speaker 1: you're gonna get a big dose of the AFC South

869
00:45:42,360 --> 00:45:46,439
Speaker 1: between November eighteenth and December sixth. You love, love, love

870
00:45:46,520 --> 00:45:50,200
Speaker 1: love starting two and oh in the division to give

871
00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:54,560
Speaker 1: yourself that advantage heading into that stretch. Yeah, and it's

872
00:45:54,840 --> 00:45:59,480
Speaker 1: September right now. In December, you're gonna start looking at

873
00:45:59,520 --> 00:46:01,560
Speaker 1: todd rights and looking at how you are in the

874
00:46:01,640 --> 00:46:04,880
Speaker 1: AFC South, and how are you in the in the AFC,

875
00:46:05,200 --> 00:46:09,040
Speaker 1: and how are you against common opponents. So, uh, it's

876
00:46:09,120 --> 00:46:13,120
Speaker 1: it's huge. And this team not too many years removed

877
00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:17,080
Speaker 1: from having a lot of issues against AFC South teams

878
00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:19,440
Speaker 1: and now that's completely flipped. His team has done a

879
00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:22,600
Speaker 1: great job, if not only winning against the AFC South,

880
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:24,880
Speaker 1: but winning at home. I mean, you're seeing a lot

881
00:46:24,960 --> 00:46:27,680
Speaker 1: of trends that are shaping up, uh, you know, on

882
00:46:27,719 --> 00:46:30,839
Speaker 1: a positive front. So uh, now you got to take

883
00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:34,279
Speaker 1: care of business outside the division. And it's you know,

884
00:46:34,520 --> 00:46:37,279
Speaker 1: tough stretch. Yeah, You've got Philadelphia coming in here. That's

885
00:46:37,400 --> 00:46:40,600
Speaker 1: uh world champion. Yeah. And Buffalo, who I think everyone

886
00:46:40,719 --> 00:46:44,239
Speaker 1: thought was dead after the first two weeks, now got

887
00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:48,280
Speaker 1: a little more juice themselves and it's a good win. Yeah,

888
00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:53,759
Speaker 1: so some other teams on the horizon, So uh, it's

889
00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:56,400
Speaker 1: not never gets easy in the NFL. All right, So

890
00:46:56,480 --> 00:47:00,480

917
00:48:26,200 --> 00:48:29,360
Speaker 1: Harvest Food Back of Middle Tennessee every time the Titans

918
00:48:29,360 --> 00:48:33,319
Speaker 1: sacked the quarterback lot. Did you know that people are benefiting,

919
00:48:33,560 --> 00:48:37,480
Speaker 1: including myself? I feel like from Roger, well, from Kroger

920
00:48:37,520 --> 00:48:41,600
Speaker 1: and Titans getting sacks. Yes, absolutely, Huh you think you'll

921
00:48:41,680 --> 00:48:44,120
Speaker 1: drink a cup of Dunk Donuts coffee on the way

922
00:48:44,120 --> 00:48:48,880
Speaker 1: over that six this ye, I forgot that. Jim Wyatt

923
00:48:48,920 --> 00:48:53,359
Speaker 1: loves sponsors. Jim Wyatt is becoming a NASCAR driver. That's

924
00:48:53,360 --> 00:48:55,839
Speaker 1: why I set us out here with Clint Bowyer. Last week,

925
00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:00,799
Speaker 1: Clett Boyer was asking, how do you think the game

926
00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:08,520
Speaker 1: will gre Goes. I think the Kroger Satan Thomas, Duncan Donuts, Titans. Mason.

927
00:49:09,600 --> 00:49:12,480
Speaker 1: You are getting like that, aren't you. I do like

928
00:49:12,719 --> 00:49:17,279
Speaker 1: some Duncan Donuts called right now today tighten up Thursday

929
00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:20,920
Speaker 1: one dollar. They have paid ten cents in tax to

930
00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:24,600
Speaker 1: the government, but one dollar for a medium coffee if

931
00:49:24,640 --> 00:49:27,719
Speaker 1: you have the dunkin Donuts app, and that means you

932
00:49:27,719 --> 00:49:31,439
Speaker 1: can order it ahead and then walk around people. Oh, Mike,

933
00:49:31,520 --> 00:49:33,640
Speaker 1: you are all about ordering ahead. I love an app.

934
00:49:33,760 --> 00:49:36,840
Speaker 1: Anytime we get food with you, there's always an app

935
00:49:37,360 --> 00:49:40,880
Speaker 1: and some sort of order ahead system involved. It's great.

936
00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:44,720
Speaker 1: Thanks for selling me out every time. It's like the guys,

937
00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:48,000
Speaker 1: what's the guy did on the on the Twitter with

938
00:49:48,040 --> 00:49:53,799
Speaker 1: the married with children? How great is that he has got?

939
00:49:53,840 --> 00:49:58,280
Speaker 1: Put my head on al Bundy. It's actually very funny.

940
00:49:58,480 --> 00:50:01,200
Speaker 1: It's pretty true. A little jar. I think it's great.

941
00:50:01,280 --> 00:50:04,200
Speaker 1: I thought it was hilarious. But just the whole walking

942
00:50:04,239 --> 00:50:07,439
Speaker 1: into the house thing, and that's pretty typical of how

943
00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:10,319
Speaker 1: I I mean, that's what's so dead on about it is.

944
00:50:10,400 --> 00:50:15,040
Speaker 1: It's that happens. That's exactly what happens. Yes, all right,

945
00:50:15,080 --> 00:50:18,279
Speaker 1: So let's talk Eagles defending World champions thirteen and three

946
00:50:18,280 --> 00:50:20,640
Speaker 1: a year ago. Doug Peterson, the head coach, might grow

947
00:50:20,680 --> 00:50:24,800
Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator, our old friend Jim Schwartz, the defensive coordinator,

948
00:50:24,840 --> 00:50:29,040
Speaker 1: playing those wide nines, bringing the house coming with people.

949
00:50:29,320 --> 00:50:33,839
Speaker 1: We know about their defense, but it's really the storyline

950
00:50:33,920 --> 00:50:36,759
Speaker 1: is really about Carson Wentz. Though. You remember we saw

951
00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:41,640
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz at the Senior Bowl twenty sixteen. So the

952
00:50:41,680 --> 00:50:43,759
Speaker 1: Titans have the first pick in the draft, and all

953
00:50:43,840 --> 00:50:46,399
Speaker 1: we're thinking is, gosh, I hope everybody and their brother

954
00:50:46,440 --> 00:50:48,880
Speaker 1: falls in love with Carson Wentz because if that happens,

955
00:50:49,200 --> 00:50:51,279
Speaker 1: then everybody and their brother's gonna want to trade for

956
00:50:51,320 --> 00:50:54,000
Speaker 1: the number one pick. And then the first day is

957
00:50:54,040 --> 00:50:57,040
Speaker 1: that actual Carson Wentz Senior Bowl video. Look at that

958
00:50:58,040 --> 00:51:01,479
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz right there, number eleven and from North Dakota State.

959
00:51:01,680 --> 00:51:06,160
Speaker 1: How good is Ashley Ferrell? She is the best Carson

960
00:51:06,200 --> 00:51:10,120
Speaker 1: Wentz photograph. I'm gonna read you. This is the scouting

961
00:51:10,160 --> 00:51:14,520
Speaker 1: profile that I had from the from that Senior Bowl.

962
00:51:15,320 --> 00:51:17,440
Speaker 1: And as we watched him practice, by the way in

963
00:51:18,640 --> 00:51:24,879
Speaker 1: forty degree, but as we watched him practice, it was like,

964
00:51:25,040 --> 00:51:29,560
Speaker 1: this guy is really really good, and and you thought,

965
00:51:30,280 --> 00:51:32,680
Speaker 1: hopefully the hype will build him up. And then they

966
00:51:32,680 --> 00:51:36,040
Speaker 1: didn't need that. He's taken second. North Dakota State won

967
00:51:36,080 --> 00:51:40,360
Speaker 1: its fifth straight FCS title as Wentz returned from a

968
00:51:40,440 --> 00:51:43,640
Speaker 1: broken right risk that caused him eight games in twenty fifteen.

969
00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:47,080
Speaker 1: Two years starter went twenty and three for the Bison,

970
00:51:47,440 --> 00:51:50,760
Speaker 1: who thrived in a wide open offense. Nake taking snaps

971
00:51:50,800 --> 00:51:55,240
Speaker 1: from under center and the shotgun with several pro style reads,

972
00:51:55,320 --> 00:51:59,879
Speaker 1: including left to right and high low progressions, performed well

973
00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:03,960
Speaker 1: in high pressure situations, including the twenty fourteen and twenty

974
00:52:04,040 --> 00:52:08,800
Speaker 1: fifteen FCS National Championship games. Listen to this was only

975
00:52:08,960 --> 00:52:12,239
Speaker 1: five eight, one hundred twenty five pounds as a high

976
00:52:12,239 --> 00:52:15,880
Speaker 1: school freshman and did not start at quarterback until his

977
00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:18,120
Speaker 1: senior year of high school. That sounds like Jim Watt.

978
00:52:18,400 --> 00:52:20,880
Speaker 1: That's true. I was tiny. I was five four pushing

979
00:52:20,920 --> 00:52:24,080
Speaker 1: about one ten one twenty heading of my senior year.

980
00:52:24,160 --> 00:52:28,240
Speaker 1: Now you're sixty eight, So you know. The thing about

981
00:52:28,320 --> 00:52:30,440
Speaker 1: him too is not only can he sling it and

982
00:52:30,600 --> 00:52:33,759
Speaker 1: makes good decisions, he can move and uh, I know

983
00:52:34,160 --> 00:52:35,960
Speaker 1: that some of the things that some of the things

984
00:52:36,120 --> 00:52:38,640
Speaker 1: the Titans defenders were saying about him is almost like

985
00:52:38,719 --> 00:52:41,279
Speaker 1: preparing for Deshaun Watson a little bit because of his

986
00:52:41,640 --> 00:52:46,480
Speaker 1: escapability and his ability to keep plays alive. So you know,

987
00:52:46,840 --> 00:52:50,439
Speaker 1: you almost wanted to see him make his return this

988
00:52:50,480 --> 00:52:53,960
Speaker 1: week instead of last week because shaking some of the rustoff.

989
00:52:54,040 --> 00:52:56,120
Speaker 1: But he didn't play with a lot of rust on Sunday.

990
00:52:56,120 --> 00:52:57,799
Speaker 1: I mean, he stopped, stepped in there and did a

991
00:52:57,920 --> 00:53:01,280
Speaker 1: did a really good job. Well, he is that miraculous athlete.

992
00:53:01,320 --> 00:53:04,359
Speaker 1: And guys who were always I mean five eight, one

993
00:53:04,400 --> 00:53:07,960
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty five going into high school is average,

994
00:53:08,480 --> 00:53:10,680
Speaker 1: maybe a little blow, I mean, but there are a

995
00:53:10,680 --> 00:53:13,000
Speaker 1: lot of guys who are five eight entering high school

996
00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:15,440
Speaker 1: who continue to grow. But they're not a lot of

997
00:53:15,480 --> 00:53:17,920
Speaker 1: guys who are five eight entering high school who continue

998
00:53:17,920 --> 00:53:20,360
Speaker 1: to grow to almost six six. And actually he's the

999
00:53:20,440 --> 00:53:25,160
Speaker 1: shortest quarterback in their room. Nate Sudfeld is six six

1000
00:53:25,200 --> 00:53:28,240
Speaker 1: and Nick Folds is six six. He's the shortest quarterback

1001
00:53:28,280 --> 00:53:31,239
Speaker 1: in there. They have power, they have power forwards or

1002
00:53:31,920 --> 00:53:36,399
Speaker 1: large off guards in their quarterback room. But because he

1003
00:53:36,520 --> 00:53:41,440
Speaker 1: was not always a big dude, he has the agility

1004
00:53:41,520 --> 00:53:45,680
Speaker 1: of a smaller guys. He has short space quickness, he

1005
00:53:45,760 --> 00:53:49,279
Speaker 1: has the ability to change directions. So it's like Bordal's

1006
00:53:50,080 --> 00:53:54,479
Speaker 1: only better. He's Boordals size now. But but this guy,

1007
00:53:54,640 --> 00:53:57,840
Speaker 1: he has retained all of those qualities because his body

1008
00:53:57,920 --> 00:54:01,719
Speaker 1: kept developing probably till I mean, you're you're always loving

1009
00:54:01,760 --> 00:54:04,840
Speaker 1: these guys that you get who continue to grow into college.

1010
00:54:05,120 --> 00:54:07,040
Speaker 1: And I think he did some of that if I

1011
00:54:07,080 --> 00:54:11,000
Speaker 1: remember reading properly, and so he's always been able to

1012
00:54:11,040 --> 00:54:14,560
Speaker 1: maintain that amazing sort of agility. He's a great athlete.

1013
00:54:14,600 --> 00:54:17,359
Speaker 1: And when we watched him in mobile, I mean it's

1014
00:54:17,360 --> 00:54:19,000
Speaker 1: like we all looked at each other and when he

1015
00:54:19,080 --> 00:54:22,200
Speaker 1: really is this good? Yeah? Yes, he yes? And you

1016
00:54:22,200 --> 00:54:23,960
Speaker 1: know what he likes to do is throw the tight end.

1017
00:54:24,680 --> 00:54:28,560
Speaker 1: Zach Ertz has been very productive, certainly a big target

1018
00:54:28,600 --> 00:54:30,680
Speaker 1: of theirs as they work through some things at the

1019
00:54:30,719 --> 00:54:33,799
Speaker 1: receiver position. And what's happening with alshon Jeffrey this week?

1020
00:54:34,920 --> 00:54:38,000
Speaker 1: He's taking contact again, right, he's taking contact, I think

1021
00:54:38,040 --> 00:54:42,160
Speaker 1: on a somewhat limited basis, use full participation in practice

1022
00:54:42,200 --> 00:54:45,839
Speaker 1: according to their injury report on Wednesday. So I don't

1023
00:54:45,920 --> 00:54:50,160
Speaker 1: think they should hold him. Yeah, hold him for another week.

1024
00:54:50,360 --> 00:54:54,319
Speaker 1: So you've got to sto Obviously went scares you from

1025
00:54:54,360 --> 00:54:59,600
Speaker 1: his mobility standpoint, end his decision making standpoint, and but

1026
00:54:59,640 --> 00:55:01,880
Speaker 1: there going to arts and now you've got to slow

1027
00:55:02,000 --> 00:55:04,040
Speaker 1: him down and you've got to figure out a way

1028
00:55:04,080 --> 00:55:07,920
Speaker 1: to limit his effectiveness. And you can do that, you

1029
00:55:08,040 --> 00:55:10,560
Speaker 1: certainly help your chances. The guy who doesn't need to

1030
00:55:10,600 --> 00:55:13,759
Speaker 1: play is Darren Sprowles, who's apparently back going to get

1031
00:55:13,800 --> 00:55:17,160
Speaker 1: back to practice at this week, did not practice yesterday.

1032
00:55:17,680 --> 00:55:21,239
Speaker 1: He and also Jagie, who played against the Titans last

1033
00:55:21,320 --> 00:55:24,000
Speaker 1: year from Miami and then was traded just a couple

1034
00:55:24,040 --> 00:55:28,640
Speaker 1: of weeks after that game. They have both been missing

1035
00:55:28,680 --> 00:55:31,600
Speaker 1: and they've been playing Corey Clement, a running back out

1036
00:55:31,640 --> 00:55:35,040
Speaker 1: of Wisconsin who's done a nice job. Wendells Smallwood has

1037
00:55:35,080 --> 00:55:37,000
Speaker 1: been a good has been a good back for them,

1038
00:55:37,239 --> 00:55:42,000
Speaker 1: but it's been Urts and Goddard and then Agalore the

1039
00:55:42,080 --> 00:55:44,880
Speaker 1: wide receiver. But they, I mean, they have not had

1040
00:55:45,480 --> 00:55:48,080
Speaker 1: to this point a lot of options, and yet they

1041
00:55:48,200 --> 00:55:51,400
Speaker 1: lead the NFL in time of possession and on defense.

1042
00:55:52,160 --> 00:55:54,800
Speaker 1: I mean, it's phenomenal what they do in the red zone.

1043
00:55:55,400 --> 00:55:59,040
Speaker 1: They've given up twelve red zone trips and only four touchdowns,

1044
00:55:59,160 --> 00:56:03,040
Speaker 1: four field goal, four possessions where the opponent hasn't gotten anything,

1045
00:56:03,719 --> 00:56:06,880
Speaker 1: twenty seven percent conversion rate on third down, which is

1046
00:56:06,920 --> 00:56:10,359
Speaker 1: I mean, this is so Jim Schwartz. He traps you

1047
00:56:10,840 --> 00:56:14,520
Speaker 1: and then he's it's like a spider web. His defense

1048
00:56:14,680 --> 00:56:16,799
Speaker 1: is like a spider web. He gets you, you think

1049
00:56:16,800 --> 00:56:18,319
Speaker 1: he got it, You think he got it, and then

1050
00:56:18,360 --> 00:56:20,480
Speaker 1: all of a sudden he grabs you and that's what

1051
00:56:20,560 --> 00:56:22,840
Speaker 1: he does so well because the guy is just so smart.

1052
00:56:22,840 --> 00:56:25,719
Speaker 1: He's such a good coach. Yeah, and you've got a

1053
00:56:25,800 --> 00:56:28,360
Speaker 1: big brown, reclusive the mill in, a big Fletcher Cox

1054
00:56:28,400 --> 00:56:34,759
Speaker 1: who will love as well. I mean, he's three three

1055
00:56:34,760 --> 00:56:38,800
Speaker 1: time Pro bowlers out saying, and a guy that certainly

1056
00:56:38,800 --> 00:56:40,839
Speaker 1: we're familiar with a round here, Derek Barnett, who played

1057
00:56:40,840 --> 00:56:43,440
Speaker 1: a Brent with academy the University of Tennessee. You can

1058
00:56:43,520 --> 00:56:46,719
Speaker 1: tell he's getting more comfortable. I know. Coach Peterson on

1059
00:56:46,760 --> 00:56:49,720
Speaker 1: the conference call yesterday was talking about how he's settled

1060
00:56:49,719 --> 00:56:52,760
Speaker 1: in as a rookie and now he's starting to really

1061
00:56:52,840 --> 00:56:56,080
Speaker 1: get it. So it's a you know, it's a dangerous

1062
00:56:56,120 --> 00:57:00,960
Speaker 1: defense is really good across the board, and it's a

1063
00:57:01,440 --> 00:57:04,960
Speaker 1: you know, and a team that's faced some tough defensive

1064
00:57:05,040 --> 00:57:07,640
Speaker 1: challenges here over the first couple of weeks and the Titans.

1065
00:57:07,840 --> 00:57:09,839
Speaker 1: Now you've got one in the Eagles coming to town

1066
00:57:09,920 --> 00:57:12,719
Speaker 1: and maybe the best of the bunch gonna be a challenger.

1067
00:57:12,880 --> 00:57:14,680
Speaker 1: It is, but I'm excited about it. I got to

1068
00:57:14,719 --> 00:57:16,920
Speaker 1: score more than nine points, Yeah, that would help. A

1069
00:57:16,960 --> 00:57:19,040
Speaker 1: touchdown or two would be great. Well, you gotta finish

1070
00:57:19,080 --> 00:57:21,120
Speaker 1: against I mean, you get in there. You can't kick

1071
00:57:21,200 --> 00:57:24,200
Speaker 1: field goals. You've got to score touchdowns against this defense

1072
00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:27,000
Speaker 1: because you know WinCE is gonna make some things happen.

1073
00:57:27,040 --> 00:57:28,320
Speaker 1: And I think you've got to get off the field

1074
00:57:28,400 --> 00:57:31,360
Speaker 1: on third down too, because they drive and drive and drive.

1075
00:57:31,640 --> 00:57:33,880
Speaker 1: When you've got him in those situations, you've got to

1076
00:57:33,920 --> 00:57:36,840
Speaker 1: get out of there. Yeah, and uh, you know, obviously

1077
00:57:36,840 --> 00:57:40,080
Speaker 1: we're all anxious to see how the offense looks with

1078
00:57:40,160 --> 00:57:43,240
Speaker 1: Marcus Marrot to kind of back and close and closer

1079
00:57:43,280 --> 00:57:46,040
Speaker 1: to full strength, with an offense that's not handcuffed like

1080
00:57:46,080 --> 00:57:49,360
Speaker 1: it has been in recent weeks. And what does that

1081
00:57:49,400 --> 00:57:52,720
Speaker 1: mean on Sunday. That's I'm anxious to see that myself,

1082
00:57:52,760 --> 00:57:56,000
Speaker 1: because there's we talked about a great job. Matt Laflour

1083
00:57:56,080 --> 00:57:57,800
Speaker 1: has done a great job of some other guys that

1084
00:57:57,840 --> 00:58:01,560
Speaker 1: have done stepping up across the board, whether it's you know,

1085
00:58:01,560 --> 00:58:05,400
Speaker 1: it's skill position, offensive line. Now they have to take

1086
00:58:05,440 --> 00:58:08,480
Speaker 1: it to another level on Sunday. We're just checking. The

1087
00:58:08,480 --> 00:58:11,160
Speaker 1: Titans have not put out a formal announcement on the

1088
00:58:11,280 --> 00:58:15,800
Speaker 1: Rochard Matthews status as of yet. We do anticipate that later.

1089
00:58:16,160 --> 00:58:20,200
Speaker 1: If you're just joining us, Richard Matthews announcing last night

1090
00:58:21,080 --> 00:58:24,200
Speaker 1: via media and via social media that he has left

1091
00:58:24,280 --> 00:58:26,680
Speaker 1: the team. We do anticipate the Titans will make an

1092
00:58:26,720 --> 00:58:30,840
Speaker 1: announcement about that formally later today as their mechanics to

1093
00:58:30,880 --> 00:58:34,160
Speaker 1: be worked out, and at the same time we do

1094
00:58:34,240 --> 00:58:39,200
Speaker 1: think John Robinson will have something to share about that situation,

1095
00:58:39,240 --> 00:58:42,480
Speaker 1: the Titans general manager. We will certainly have more about

1096
00:58:42,480 --> 00:58:47,080
Speaker 1: that on Titans Today after practice today. Absolutely got kind

1097
00:58:47,080 --> 00:58:49,920
Speaker 1: of a conundrum with that though. Is it Titans Today

1098
00:58:49,960 --> 00:58:52,520
Speaker 1: today or is it just you can watch that on

1099
00:58:52,640 --> 00:58:55,160
Speaker 1: Titans Today Because the name of it is Titans Today.
