00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:13,039
Speaker 1: This is the OTP four D presented by Farm Bureau

Speaker 1: Health Plans. When it comes to your healthcare coverage, you

3
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 1: should be the one to make the call. So call

00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:22,640
Speaker 1: Farm Bureau Health Plans. They've been protecting Tennesseeans for seventy

5
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:26,080
Speaker 1: five years. With Amy Wells and Rhett Bryan, I am

6
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 1: Mike Keith. Titans are six and three leading the AFC South.

7
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 1: If the playoffs started today, the Titans would be the

8
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 1: three seed and would play host to the Buffalo Bills.

9
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,559
Speaker 1: We're a long way from that, eight more games to go,

10
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:42,160
Speaker 1: a lot of work to be done. Fun to say

11
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 1: right now, so we throw it out at the top

12
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:48,479
Speaker 1: with no needed discussion because it means very little. But

13
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 1: I like the juju it. I'm reporting the news. I'm

14
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 1: doing is reporting the news. That is not an opinion,

15
00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 1: that is a fact. I like it floating in the atmosphere.

16
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 1: If it was bad, I just wouldn't say it. Welcome

17
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:06,959
Speaker 1: to it. It works on the official Titans podcast the

18
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 1: ot people know you're going to get the good stuff here,

19
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 1: all right. So the Titans win over Denver as advertised

20
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 1: Ret Brian. They have a great defense, they play it

21
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 1: very well. It's unusual with that five man front. So

22
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 1: what they were doing against the Titans is pretty much

23
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,680
Speaker 1: what they always do. It's not like they were cooking

24
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 1: something up for Derek Henry. I mean that was just

25
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 1: that's how they roll. They're really good. But the Titans

26
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 1: find a way to do it. So first down and

27
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 1: Amy Wells gets this one. Your play that turned the game.

28
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: How off the beating path are you going to go?

29
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 1: Being that you get to go first zero percent? I'm

30
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 1: going to be exactly what everyone expects me to say.

31
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: I bet it's the return to sender in the third quarter.

32
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: It's the greatest play I've seen in a while. Tannehill

33
00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 1: to Derrick Henry back to Ryan Tannehill down the field,

34
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: Nick Westbrook a keena. He runs them for a touchdown

35
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 1: sixty three yards, so great. Gives the Titans the lead.

36
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 1: They never lost that lead, and it just brought me

37
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 1: so much joy I love a play like that, and

38
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: I thought it was the best part of the game.

39
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: Where I thought you were going is the last play

40
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 1: on offense of the first half. Nope, And that is

41
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill to Nick Westbrook a keena the first time

42
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: for nine yards and a touchdown. That drive was so

43
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 1: pivotal because he found five different receivers. They're trailing ten nothing.

44
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: They go into the half trailing ten to seven, not

45
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 1: ten to nothing because Denver elected to defer their option

46
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 1: to the second half and had the ball to begin

47
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: the third quarter. That could have been a hole that

48
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: you couldn't climb out of because it felt that way.

49
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: Is that yours? That's mine? All right? So let's hear

50
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: them both. Here are the two. Tannehill to Westbrook a

51
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 1: Keena hookups moving people around. Tannehill takes the stamp, looks

52
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 1: fires left more of the inside. It's caught by Westbrook

53
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 1: a Keyna. Is he in his touch? That Titans west

54
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 1: Brooka kena haulds her in with twelve seconds to go,

55
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 1: and that Titans have a strong heart beat. Three receivers

56
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: to the right, gonna get Henry a turn. He pitches

57
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: it back to tane Hill. He throws deep break side.

58
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 1: There's Westbrook at Keena thirty five thirty twenty five, twenty

59
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 1: fifteen ten five touchd Titans. Oh goodness returned to sender yo. Yes, yes,

60
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 1: oh that's Hill. Yes, I want to go back for

61
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: just a second to the return to sender, which some

62
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 1: people call a flea flicker. Yeah, that's not as good

63
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: as return to sender. Well, especially because we're in Tennessee

64
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 1: and that's Elvis. Oh I never made that kid. Oh

65
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 1: well yeah, well, and the thing is the running back

66
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 1: turns it. Yeah, the best I've ever seen that play

67
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 1: run ever. Ever, it was perfection watch football for however

68
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 1: many years. It's the best ever because normally that play

69
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 1: has hiccups. Normally, the guy takes the handoff and he's

70
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 1: trying to give it back to the quarterback too quickly.

71
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: He doesn't take a step forward to sell it. Normally,

72
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 1: the quarterback juggles the ball when he gets it back. Normally,

73
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 1: the quarterback looks at the first receiver and he's covered,

74
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,839
Speaker 1: or he ends up throwing it into a crowd and

75
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 1: it's incomplete, or even if the guy's open, it's underthrown

76
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 1: or something. This was perfect handoff to Derrick Henry, step forward,

77
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: stop turn, pitch back to Tannehill, perfectly grabbed by Tannehill,

78
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 1: looks at Westbrook a Keene throws perfectly, and then Nick

79
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 1: a great run makes a defender miss to get into

80
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 1: the end zone. It was exactly what the team needed.

81
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 1: I will say it again. It's the best return descender

82
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 1: I have ever seen. You're right, that play has normally disjointed.

83
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 1: It always it was fluid. It was fluid. It was

84
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 1: almost like it happened with just one Well, it's almost

85
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 1: like there was no defense out there. Yeah, it was

86
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 1: like they were running it in practice. Well, the defense

87
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:23,280
Speaker 1: bit perfectly. They completely went in a different direction. They

88
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 1: did exactly what they were supposed to do. Were entirely

89
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,039
Speaker 1: faked out, and so they were able to run the play.

90
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 1: It was beautiful. It was beautiful. And then wy to

91
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,839
Speaker 1: make the defender miss about the ten yard line. That

92
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 1: was a good move. Yeah, it was. Well. The other

93
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:40,359
Speaker 1: part of it, too, is the Titans, We're gonna have

94
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 1: a hard time driving the ball on that defense over

95
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,600
Speaker 1: and over and over again. They're really good. I mean,

96
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 1: the Broncos defense is really really good. It looks like

97
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:54,840
Speaker 1: one of those Baltimore Pittsburgh defenses from years gone by.

98
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 1: I mean they I understand when I was reading their

99
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: scores and they've got an eleven to ten score and

100
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,600
Speaker 1: sixteen to nine and a sixteen to ten. I mean

101
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,720
Speaker 1: every score seemingly's like this. You're like, okay, I get it.

102
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 1: I mean you could play good offense against them, really

103
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,479
Speaker 1: good offense, and still have a really hard time. They

104
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: were without one of their starting safeties and Baron Browning

105
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 1: at outside line, and they traded Bradley chob Yeah, their

106
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: best pass rusher, which I was very glad that they did.

107
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 1: It was delightfulness. I will say this though, because you've

108
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 1: hit your two there, and the other one was the

109
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 1: first half touchdown pass to Nick Westbrook a keyne. I

110
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 1: think that was the bigger play because the Titans are down,

111
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,840
Speaker 1: they're inside the twenty, they've got third and goal at

112
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 1: the nine, settling for threes. Okay, but then the Broncos

113
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 1: defense has won again in the red zone, where they're

114
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,839
Speaker 1: the best in the league. You score a touchdown, you

115
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:56,360
Speaker 1: take momentum into halftime, and you do it because Nick wins. Yeah,

116
00:06:56,400 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 1: that was the whole thing. You needed somebody to win badly.

117
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 1: Austin Hooper did it a couple times in the second half.

118
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry did it on a couple of runs. But man,

119
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 1: at a certain point, it's not about scheme, it's not

120
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 1: about coaching, it's not about this, it's not about that.

121
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 1: It's about you've just got to win an NWI one

122
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 1: and you said it on the broadcast. Actually, but in

123
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 1: the first half the score wasn't separated by much. It

124
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 1: felt like a giant chasm to try and dig out of.

125
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 1: It felt like the Titans were in a much bigger

126
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 1: hole than the numbers would indicate because the momentum was

127
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 1: so far in the direction of the Denver Broncos. So

128
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 1: you're one hundred percent right that that play really generated

129
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 1: the momentum this team needed, got some much needed points

130
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 1: on the board to kind of close that gap, and

131
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 1: the Titans were rolling in the second half, and they

132
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 1: did for my play that turned the game. You could

133
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 1: go with several different quarterback sacks. You could go with

134
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 1: Dylan Cole's quarterback sack early in the fourth quarter, which

135
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 1: I think was a was a huge factor. You could

136
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 1: look at what happened, certainly on the very last drive

137
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 1: where Rashad Weaver has the sack and the fumble that

138
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 1: I still don't understand how Sam Okawan who didn't recover.

139
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 1: I think it bounced off his arm. Still, yeah, you

140
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 1: could go with a Tannehill to a Conquo for there

141
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 1: were several big plays in the game. Undoubtedly. Sacking Russell

142
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 1: Wilson six times was really impressive. So second down rhet

143
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 1: you get the first crack at this second down the

144
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 1: stat that grabbed your attention, Let's go with the pass

145
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 1: rush because it's not six quarterbacks I'm mentioning, but per

146
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 1: Pro Football Focus, Yeah, how many quarterback pressures they were

147
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 1: in that game for the Titans defense yesterday, forty forty

148
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:49,440
Speaker 1: and they threw forty two passes. Denico Autry had ten,

149
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 1: Rashad Weaver had eight, Mario Edwards Junior had six, the

150
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 1: Marcus Walker had five, and a host of others behind

151
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 1: them forty They got pressure amazing without Big Jeff, without

152
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 1: Big Jeff, without Bud Dupree. Wow. Yeah, pretty strong stuff.

153
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 1: Amy Wells Mine was that the Tennessee Titans had sixty

154
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,560
Speaker 1: three total rushing yards in the whole game. That was

155
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 1: interesting to me because, a that is not typical of

156
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 1: what we've seen from this offense in the last couple

157
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 1: of weeks, and honestly, that's not typically how the Titans

158
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 1: win a ball game. However, they were able to find

159
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 1: some other options. They were able to have more of

160
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 1: a more of a balanced offensive attack, and ultimately ended

161
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 1: up winning the game. Are there things that need to

162
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:37,079
Speaker 1: be changed, Sure, but it was a little more balanced,

163
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 1: wasn't as run heavy, and the Titans were still able

164
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 1: to get it done. Mine is Nick Westbrook a Keene

165
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 1: five catches, one hundred nineteen yards, two touchdowns. I love

166
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,840
Speaker 1: running the ball. If we could run the ball on

167
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 1: every play and win, I would be so happy. I

168
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 1: love that I grew up with that kind of football.

169
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 1: That's what I believe in. YadA YadA. The Tennessee Titans

170
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 1: are not going anywhere if they can't throw the football.

171
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 1: I don't think they would even end up winning the

172
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 1: AFC South this year. Even with the advantage they have.

173
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:12,680
Speaker 1: The passing game has to improve. Yesterday the passing game improved.

174
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 1: It improved dramatically. You had one hundred yard receiver who

175
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:21,679
Speaker 1: caught two touchdown passes, yet Austin Hooper five for forty one,

176
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:25,199
Speaker 1: trailing Burke's back in there, three for twenty four, a

177
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 1: Cockwoll with the catch for forty one. That's what has

178
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 1: to happen, because eventually somebody's gonna stop Derrick Henry. Well,

179
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:36,080
Speaker 1: it happened yesterday, particularly in the first half. You've got

180
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 1: to get the pass game going, the Titans have not

181
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 1: had that sort of answer. Obviously, with Malik in there

182
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 1: at quarterback, Willis was not going to be allowed to

183
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 1: throw as much, and so I understand that. But I'm

184
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: talking about all the way back to October when they

185
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 1: were winning games. The passing game had to come on,

186
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 1: and it's got to continue to come on because there

187
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:59,679
Speaker 1: are so many opportunities. Yesterday the Titans took advantage of

188
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 1: those opportunities, which on top of what they're doing on defense,

189
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 1: on top of what they're doing on special teams, on

190
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 1: top of what they're doing with the run game. Sort

191
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: of that not background, but the foundation that they have

192
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 1: right now and what they're playing to in winning six

193
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 1: of the last seven. If you add a real, live

194
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 1: passing game to that, I think suddenly the Titans become

195
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 1: very very interesting down the stretch and possibly into January.

196
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 1: As a contender. You've got to be complete to be

197
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 1: a contender. That was more of a complete offense in

198
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 1: the last thirty two minutes of the ballgame. Agreed, you'll

199
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 1: give me that. I'll give you that much world. I'll

200
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 1: give you. I'll give you Duncan rewards. Yeah, that's what

201
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 1: I'll give you because it's halftime, because it's halftime of

202
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 1: the OTP four D. Duncan rewards. These rewards, well you

203
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:56,439
Speaker 1: can really use them, No, really, use them on free donuts, coffees,

204
00:11:56,480 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 1: and breakfast sandwiches. Use them for Yeah that's okay, Yeah,

205
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 1: I'm serious. You can give them to people that you love.

206
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 1: You can give them to people that you're trying to

207
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 1: butter up. You can give them to people that you're

208
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:10,839
Speaker 1: trying to get to do something for you. All these

209
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 1: in the season of giving. We're in the season of giving.

210
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 1: Even if it benefits you. Use your Duncan rewards, save them,

211
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 1: stack up, use them however you want. America runs on Duncan.

212
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna need some Duncan Friday when we cut the

213
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 1: OTP four D coming back from the Old Green Bay trip.

214
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,440
Speaker 1: I think I'm running on Duncan all week Yeah you

215
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 1: guys are We are running on Duncan all week long. Yes,

216
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 1: highly caffeinated. Yes, it's time for third down, and we

217
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 1: love third down here on the OTP. Actually, I would

218
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 1: have to say it is my favorite of the downs,

219
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 1: is it really? It probably is because I'm so interested

220
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 1: to hear where you're going. Third down area where the

221
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 1: Titans must improve from yesterday, Amy gets to go first again.

222
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 1: How is that. I don't make the rules. I just

223
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:57,680
Speaker 1: play the game, Mike. Right, my area where the Titans

224
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 1: must improve is dropped balls. Oh, for the love, I'm

225
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 1: telling you what, stop dropping balls. I don't know how

226
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 1: many drops the Tennessee Titans had because I'm a lazy journalist.

227
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 1: I don't know that numbers. Yeah, yeah, the number is

228
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 1: too many. And when you're trying to generate a passing

229
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 1: game like the Titans are really trying to get going,

230
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 1: when you're trying to have that balanced offensive attack that

231
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 1: we were just talking about, you have to catch the

232
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 1: ball in your hands. Yeah, and hang on to it.

233
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:30,320
Speaker 1: That's one of the top five most important things about

234
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 1: football is catching the ball and hanging on to it.

235
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 1: And it just it just is so deflating when you

236
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 1: have all those drops. I have, stop it. I had

237
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 1: four legitimate drops. Now people score them different ways, but

238
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:46,440
Speaker 1: I had four balls that I thought that could have

239
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 1: been caught. Tannehill through for two fifty five. If those

240
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 1: four passes are caught, he's at about three twenty five yep,

241
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 1: and suddenly he's twenty three of thirty six for roughly

242
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 1: three twenty five. I mean, he played a really good

243
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 1: ball game, but it's a great point. I mean, you

244
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 1: can't do that, especially when you're trying to sort of

245
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 1: get that engine going. And they're contagious, right, It just is.

246
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 1: It's one of those weird things. Picks are contagious. They

247
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 1: always come in bunches. Same thing with drops. When one

248
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 1: person gets the drops, it feels like everybody has the drops,

249
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 1: and it just it destroys any sort of momentum that

250
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 1: you have right Brian area where the Titans must improve

251
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 1: from yesterday. I'm gonna keep harping on this, and it's

252
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 1: third down. I mean, they were six of sixteen yesterday

253
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 1: and thank the Good Lord, that's all they needed. But

254
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 1: you had nine in the last three games prior to

255
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 1: the Denver game yesterday. You're starting to see it head

256
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 1: back in the right direction, and I think that's with

257
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill coming back into things that will help. But

258
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 1: you've got to have third down conversions to go with

259
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 1: what you're talking about Mike in the passing game improving

260
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 1: for you know, needing this in the stretch run, getting

261
00:14:56,840 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 1: into the most important months of the season. Yeah, they

262
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 1: were five of their last nine, so you make the

263
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 1: point they were going in the right direction because they

264
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 1: were just one of seven to begin But yeah, I

265
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 1: mean they need to be over forty percent consistently what

266
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 1: I like forty five, yes, but they've got to be

267
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 1: over forty percent and third down conversions because their defensive

268
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 1: ratio is just fantastic, right, I mean, they are so good.

269
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 1: I've got two here that I'm gonna throw at you.

270
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 1: Those aren't the rules. Those aren't the rules, but I

271
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 1: think you'll be interested in one for sure. First of

272
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 1: all's time of possession. They only had it for twenty

273
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 1: six OZHO three, coming off the Kansas City game where

274
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 1: they only had it for twenty six minutes, and that

275
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 1: game was sixty eight minutes long. Come on, you got

276
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 1: to help the defense, fellas. Fellas stay on the field,

277
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 1: convert the third downs. Let's do better at the drop.

278
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 1: Stop the drops. I mean, it all ties in together

279
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:53,640
Speaker 1: the other one, and I think you'll give me this

280
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 1: without hating on me. The Titans are fourteen out of

281
00:15:56,560 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 1: seventeen this year in allowing fourth down conversion, two of

282
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 1: three yesterday. Yea, So they've been so good on third

283
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 1: down and yet they're giving up over eighty percent conversions

284
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 1: on fourth down. Wild It is so strange. Yeah, And

285
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I know some of them are fourth and one,

286
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 1: and some of them are situations where you're saying, okay,

287
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 1: we might get like the Russell Wilson run on fourth

288
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 1: and five. They played good defense. They weren't giving up

289
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 1: the long pass, which is what you needed, but they

290
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 1: did give up the run, you know, so you're like,

291
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 1: you've done this to this point to get him to

292
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 1: fourth down. Get off the field. Yeah, And it's hard

293
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 1: to criticize anything involved with defense right now because, especially

294
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 1: with who they're playing with, it's fantastic. And that's why

295
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 1: I say some of this as of late, you can

296
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 1: I think you can point to Jeff Simmons and the

297
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 1: ankle that he's had, because how many times have we

298
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 1: seen him do things to like there was a couple

299
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 1: occasions just I thought if Jeff was in there, he

300
00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 1: might have walled this thing off with this guy and

301
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 1: he can play Thursday nine. He would have had eleven

302
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:06,120
Speaker 1: days off and then he'll have ten days to the

303
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:09,239
Speaker 1: next game, to the Cincinnati game. So you're hoping that

304
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:12,199
Speaker 1: some of the guys who didn't play would have a

305
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:15,399
Speaker 1: chance to play in this game, because man, they are,

306
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 1: especially on defense, they are short, short, short on folks. Yeah,

307
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 1: I mean they were down to six defensive backs. The

308
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 1: six defensive backs they had on the field at the

309
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 1: end of the game, that was it. That's all they had. Ye,

310
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:31,439
Speaker 1: Like you said, Andrew Adams he signed the conte. I

311
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:35,120
Speaker 1: mean the point that was funny, Yes, Well, the point

312
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,440
Speaker 1: I made is I think John Robinson has been amazing

313
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 1: and his staff, his pro staff, and his college staff,

314
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 1: but especially his pro staff. I mean, I knew who

315
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:47,879
Speaker 1: Terrence Mitchell was because we played against him a bunch,

316
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 1: and Terrence Mitchell is a quality NFL player. He's not

317
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:55,920
Speaker 1: a guy who's gotten just a wild bunch of attention,

318
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,239
Speaker 1: but he's a guy that you admire. He said, that's

319
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:00,439
Speaker 1: a nice NFL player. He's had an he's had a

320
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 1: nice career. I knew who he was. I didn't know

321
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:06,439
Speaker 1: who Andrew Adams was. Now that's on me, probably because

322
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 1: but he'd also been with the Giants, and he'd been

323
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 1: with the Bucks, and we don't see them a lot,

324
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 1: and he was kind of a down the line player

325
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,120
Speaker 1: for them. So I said, yeah, I mean if you'd

326
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:18,199
Speaker 1: told me before the season Andrew Adams is either a

327
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 1: safety in the NFL in his seventh year or he's

328
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:25,159
Speaker 1: one of the guys who originally signed the constitution, I

329
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:28,400
Speaker 1: would have gone with bah. He was at Independence Hall. Yeah,

330
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 1: it was one of the guys. I so for John

331
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:35,119
Speaker 1: Robinson to go find these guys that fifties worlds. Andrew

332
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 1: Adams has played super football, considering he has come in

333
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 1: and the way he does Terrence Mitchell with the game

334
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 1: ceiling intercept. Yeah, but I mean, and he has eight

335
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 1: eight tackles. And Andrew Adams has seven tackles, and Terrence

336
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:54,879
Speaker 1: Mitchell also has three pass breakups. He played a great game.

337
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 1: I mean, just I mean for the situation he's in,

338
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 1: and the hope until either yesterday morning or late Saturday,

339
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 1: and I don't know when it changed. The hope is

340
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:09,159
Speaker 1: that Christian Fulton was going to play. And so for

341
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:12,360
Speaker 1: him to get the word either Saturday night or Sunday

342
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 1: you're starting, and then to do the job he did.

343
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 1: I mean, because that's not easy to do. I mean,

344
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 1: we all like, in whatever our jobs are, we love

345
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:24,920
Speaker 1: for our roles to be defined. Yes, that's the easiest thing.

346
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 1: Amy today, we need you to do X, Y and Z,

347
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 1: and you're like, great, Maybe you don't love X, Y

348
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 1: and Z, but at least you know what it is

349
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 1: and you can go execute that. These guys are week

350
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:38,479
Speaker 1: to week they're like, Okay, this week you're gonna play nicol.

351
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:41,400
Speaker 1: This week, you're gonna start at safety. This week, you're

352
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 1: gonna be the sixth defensive back. This week you might

353
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:49,160
Speaker 1: be inactive. Okay, that's a pro man. And for John

354
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 1: to be able to find pros like that, like those

355
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 1: guys in the defensive line too, you know, and that

356
00:19:56,600 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 1: has been really the untold story in my opinion of

357
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:03,199
Speaker 1: the season is for whatever the injuries have been at

358
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 1: linebacker in the secondary, that defensive line has continued to

359
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:10,399
Speaker 1: produce up and down the line. Well, I talked to

360
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:13,919
Speaker 1: DeMarcus Walker about it yesterday after the game. You were

361
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 1: not anticipating that you would get the opportunities that you

362
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 1: were getting this season, just point blank. There are a

363
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:22,160
Speaker 1: lot of guys on that line who are getting opportunities

364
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:25,640
Speaker 1: that they were not anticipating having in that group. And

365
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 1: yet here they go and they continue to be the

366
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:31,439
Speaker 1: backbone of the defense and they continue to rise and

367
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 1: meet whatever the occasion is. And it's a lot of

368
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 1: guys that, I mean are not the star power names

369
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 1: that the Tennessee Titans had and we're really excited about.

370
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:46,360
Speaker 1: But man, they just keep showing up and he more

371
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:53,359
Speaker 1: than anything, he goes, well, thank you, yeah, yeah, No,

372
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,120
Speaker 1: what what I was expecting was, yeah, man, we play

373
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:58,680
Speaker 1: really hard. And he was like, oh, well, thank you.

374
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 1: Appreciate you for sure. He's very friendly, man. But it

375
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:07,359
Speaker 1: really is amazing the depth and the way that everybody

376
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:10,399
Speaker 1: in that group is able to just perform no matter

377
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 1: what the circumstances. To your point, Amy Naiquan Jones, he's

378
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 1: an active for a couple of games down at a

379
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,879
Speaker 1: quarterback sack. Yet, I mean, this is just they just

380
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:23,879
Speaker 1: come in there. And the acquisition of DeMarcus Walker and

381
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 1: Mario Edwards Junior, it's huge. Those guys are playing their

382
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 1: rear ends off. Well. They saw DeMarcus Walker as a

383
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 1: player a little bit like Denico Autry that could line

384
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 1: up up and down the defensive line. Yeah, and part

385
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 1: of what happened to him when Denver drafted him in

386
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 1: the second round, right, he was a big deal. He

387
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:47,640
Speaker 1: was a big deal coming out of college. We had

388
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 1: him on some of our lists and preparing for draft

389
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 1: coverage as a guy who might go in the first round,

390
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:54,720
Speaker 1: and there are always those guys who you know, we

391
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:57,639
Speaker 1: generally have fifty people we think that could go in

392
00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:00,919
Speaker 1: the first round, and they obviously don't. All we prepare

393
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:02,879
Speaker 1: for him. I looked back at my list and we

394
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 1: had him in the twenty seventeen draft. Is a guy

395
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 1: who might go late in the first round. He goes

396
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 1: to Denver and they decide to make a stand up

397
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:17,360
Speaker 1: outside linebacker out of him, after he's never really done that.

398
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:20,880
Speaker 1: Not his bag, No, no, not at all. And so

399
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:25,159
Speaker 1: then that group of Denver coaches go away. The next coach,

400
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:28,920
Speaker 1: the next coaches come in and they put him back

401
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:31,919
Speaker 1: doing what he does. But the benefit is because he

402
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 1: played the stand up outside linebacker and he was asked

403
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 1: to do a lot of things. That's become his niche

404
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 1: He's figured out how to do all sorts of things

405
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 1: like Denico Autry. I mean, you look at Deniko. He's

406
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 1: lined up over the center at one point, and then

407
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 1: right before they get ready to snap it, he moves

408
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:53,119
Speaker 1: outside and does all this crazy stuff. Man, he's so good.

409
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:57,400
Speaker 1: He's and Mike DeMarcus Walker also was brought in because

410
00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:00,080
Speaker 1: he's so good against the run and run fits. He

411
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:02,880
Speaker 1: can drop back in coverage and has done a great

412
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 1: job in that area too, and rushed the passer and

413
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 1: that has just been a fantastic group. So did we

414
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 1: finish that topic. I don't know. I get to talking

415
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 1: about something. I think that was just the third down.

416
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:15,200
Speaker 1: I think we have one more down. We have one

417
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 1: more down. Yeah, my little counter on your counter? Good.

418
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 1: We are on fourth down. Rep. Brian, your player of

419
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 1: the game. The answer might be obvious if you're going offense,

420
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:28,160
Speaker 1: but I'm going defense and my player of the game

421
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 1: is DeMarcus Walker. Wow. And the reason I say this

422
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 1: forty four snaps, Mike. He played fifty five percent of

423
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 1: the defensive snaps yesterday, one snap on special teams, three tackles,

424
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:41,719
Speaker 1: one and a half quarterback sacks, three hits on quarterbacks,

425
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:45,359
Speaker 1: five quarterback pressures. All three and a half of his

426
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 1: season quarterback sacks for the Titans have come in the

427
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 1: last three games. He is just a guy that just

428
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:56,879
Speaker 1: has a motor that won't quit. He's been so effective,

429
00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:00,119
Speaker 1: as we've just outlined, and that's why I went with

430
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 1: him he's been a difference maker. Well, then I have

431
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 1: to go with the obvious one, who is Nick Westbrook

432
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:08,439
Speaker 1: A kine. I mean, he had a career day and

433
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 1: he scored the two touchdowns that the Titans had, which

434
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 1: he had never had a two touchdown game before as

435
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 1: a professional. He had the highest total yards of his

436
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 1: entire career with one hundred and nineteen. He had the

437
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:24,520
Speaker 1: longest reception of his career over sixty three yards. I mean,

438
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 1: the guy was a statistical monster yesterday, and that makes

439
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:31,159
Speaker 1: him the player of the game. However, I would like

440
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 1: to cheat, just a little bit. Cheat. I want to

441
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 1: cheat a little bit. Can't cheat. Also, Special teams played

442
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 1: really really well. Special team well, they played really really well,

443
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:45,199
Speaker 1: and there were lots of field position moments that I

444
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 1: think deserved to be recognized because Special teams kind of

445
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:51,720
Speaker 1: balled out. All right. So you know, I respect both

446
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 1: of you. You know, I think the world of both

447
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 1: of you as people and professionals. How do you not

448
00:24:56,840 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 1: pick Ryan Tannehill? Hill is who I wrote down, Ryan Tannehill. Ryan,

449
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:06,199
Speaker 1: you don't win the game without Ryan Tannehill. Yeah, I

450
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:10,399
Speaker 1: mean played the game, played a great game. Congrats, Oh

451
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:13,480
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannhill coming back with the ankle to drive at

452
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:16,119
Speaker 1: the end of the half, the run that he made,

453
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:19,679
Speaker 1: which was so crucial to getting them down there, the

454
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 1: way he can appetizer and left you with the entrep

455
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:24,920
Speaker 1: But you can't leave because you get to pick first.

456
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 1: It doesn't say how. But listen, if you're starting, I'm

457
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:33,160
Speaker 1: loving all these guys you're mentioning. I love special teams.

458
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:37,400
Speaker 1: I love Nick. I talked about Nick's that was my stat. Yeah,

459
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 1: I get it, and I get it. I'm bragging on

460
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:45,400
Speaker 1: DeMarcus Walker. But you don't win the game without Ryan Tannehill.

461
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 1: You just you just do. I mean he he came

462
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:51,440
Speaker 1: back in there, he won you the game. He shows

463
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 1: you why he's so important. He's very important, and I

464
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:59,119
Speaker 1: think he is an incredibly important part of this team.

465
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 1: He's also the quarterback and did what quarterbacks. Oh, he

466
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:06,439
Speaker 1: had a bad ankle. He had a great quarterback game

467
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 1: on a bad ankle. Yeah, I mean he's good. I'm

468
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 1: not taking anything away from Ryan Tannehill. He's the man.

469
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 1: I couldn't believe that one of you didn't. Just it's

470
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:18,200
Speaker 1: too obvious. I thought when I went to Marcus Walker,

471
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:20,800
Speaker 1: she would go Ryan Tannahill. That was my thought. No,

472
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:23,639
Speaker 1: but that's why you were so weary of me taking

473
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 1: two bless You're Hearted right here? Oh, we fully got

474
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 1: bless You're Hearted. Who else I love is Farm Bureau

475
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 1: Health Plans. Get the home field advantage with healthcare coverage

476
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:35,159
Speaker 1: from Farm Bureau Health Plans. They've been protecting Tennessee for

477
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 1: seventy five years. Mike, pretty good, fiery today. I'm fired up.

478
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:43,159
Speaker 1: I like it coming off a win. The Titans are

479
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:45,480
Speaker 1: six and three. Hey, I want to get a win

480
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 1: Thursday night. Fool you dog, I want to. I want

481
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:50,200
Speaker 1: to have the whole weekend off at seven and three

482
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 1: and watch everybody else deal with it. Yes, right, they

483
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:57,679
Speaker 1: can talk about us all weekend, so all the national

484
00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 1: pundits can go, why aren't we talking about the Tennessee Titans,

485
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:04,119
Speaker 1: because that's not what they'll say. No, no, no, they

486
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:06,679
Speaker 1: will because they will have seen the Kansas City Sunday

487
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:09,880
Speaker 1: night game and they will have seen the Thursday night game.

488
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 1: If the Titans win, then they'll spend the whole weekend

489
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:15,399
Speaker 1: that that'll be on all the pregame shows. Because the

490
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 1: other thing, too, is you have a chance to produce

491
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 1: something production wise, for television from the from the you know,

492
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:25,920
Speaker 1: I used don't want to hear oh, green Bay has

493
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 1: really fallen apart? No, I know. I think you'll hear

494
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:32,200
Speaker 1: all about well, how are we saying? And then they'll

495
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 1: realize Titans are great. They'll realize that again, well, the

496
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 1: Titans were the number one seed last year. The Titans

497
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:43,439
Speaker 1: have been to the playoffs the last three years. What

498
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:46,359
Speaker 1: I think they'll realize at this point, in all seriousness,

499
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 1: is the Titans are rounding into some form. And that's

500
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:52,480
Speaker 1: what I was talking about with the passing game earlier.

501
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:56,720
Speaker 1: This is this is a league where you continue evolving

502
00:27:56,920 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 1: if you're gonna make it happen regardless of record. You know,

503
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 1: if you get in the postseason and you've continued evolving,

504
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:07,639
Speaker 1: you're scary. Yeah, And that's what you want to be.

505
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:09,920
Speaker 1: You don't want to play your best football in early

506
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 1: to mid December, even late December. You want to play

507
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 1: your best football in January. And Mike, this Titans run

508
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 1: defense is going to be tested. I mean, AJ Dillon

509
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:20,159
Speaker 1: and Aaron Jones ran for two hundred and seven yards

510
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:24,120
Speaker 1: on the Cowboys and they're big, and Christian Watson has

511
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 1: had to come out game. I mean he is just

512
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 1: rolling with Aaron Rodgers. Now, well, the two backs are

513
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:33,160
Speaker 1: really special. It's going to be really cold, and it's

514
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:35,639
Speaker 1: Thursday night football, which is where if you have a

515
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 1: power run game, you normally have a big advantage. Green

516
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 1: Bay did not travel yesterday. They're not traveling on Thursday.

517
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 1: Obviously the Titans coming off a physical home game, but

518
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 1: they do have to travel on Wednesday. So there are

519
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:50,960
Speaker 1: a lot of advantages toward green Bay, much like there

520
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 1: were a lot of advantages toward Denver yesterday. Yeah, it's

521
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:58,360
Speaker 1: going to be cold. It's called lurries too, but it was.

522
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 1: But it was cold yesterday. It was cold yesterday. It

523
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 1: was actually a very good warm up too. Let's see

524
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:09,320
Speaker 1: what you cool down? Seven degrees at kick off yesterday

525
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:11,880
Speaker 1: one of the cooler games as stage, especially because it

526
00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:16,040
Speaker 1: was seventy four three days earlier. Yep, crazy, all right,

527
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:19,360
Speaker 1: that's going to do it? WHERETT Brian and Amy Wells.

528
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:22,040

00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 1: untains cold and I never gotten knows, it's our house

531
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:36,000
Speaker 1: finding thought. Tennessee making its three greatness is meant to be,
