0:00:44.880 --> 0:00:45.640
<v Speaker 1>social platform?

0:00:45.680 --> 0:00:47.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm not on TikTok. I haven't made the leap there

0:00:48.200 --> 0:00:53.640
<v Speaker 2>on Instagram, on Twitter, X use Facebook still to post stories,

0:00:53.640 --> 0:00:56.720
<v Speaker 2>but I'm not on TikTok. I'm on Snapchat, but just

0:00:57.080 --> 0:00:59.840
<v Speaker 2>to my wife, my daughter, and my son. I've got

0:00:59.880 --> 0:01:02.560
<v Speaker 2>a twenty three hundred day street going with my daughter,

0:01:02.600 --> 0:01:04.640
<v Speaker 2>which is so I ought to send her snap maybe

0:01:04.680 --> 0:01:06.760
<v Speaker 2>from in here, but you should should.

0:01:07.600 --> 0:01:10.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Okay, let's do it here.

0:01:11.720 --> 0:01:13.440
<v Speaker 2>That's one every day. So I've done it for twenty

0:01:13.480 --> 0:01:16.039
<v Speaker 2>three hundred days in a row of sent her a snap.

0:01:16.200 --> 0:01:18.600
<v Speaker 1>So so you take a picture, take a picture.

0:01:18.720 --> 0:01:21.959
<v Speaker 2>I'll take a picture of all us in here, and

0:01:22.000 --> 0:01:23.600
<v Speaker 2>then I just send that to her and then she'll

0:01:23.640 --> 0:01:25.720
<v Speaker 2>send me what she's doing during the course of her day.

0:01:25.760 --> 0:01:28.000
<v Speaker 2>It's just uh, I talk to her as well. I

0:01:28.080 --> 0:01:31.440
<v Speaker 2>just don't snap. But apparently young people they don't. I

0:01:31.640 --> 0:01:33.200
<v Speaker 2>ask her, well, if you talk so and so. Now

0:01:33.200 --> 0:01:35.240
<v Speaker 2>I haven't talked to him about my snapper every day,

0:01:35.319 --> 0:01:37.560
<v Speaker 2>so I guess young people just communicate by snapping.

0:01:37.720 --> 0:01:41.880
<v Speaker 1>Nobody talks on the phone. Yeah, the streak is my mother. Yes,

0:01:42.440 --> 0:01:44.119
<v Speaker 1>I will talk on the phone for quite a while.

0:01:44.200 --> 0:01:47.920
<v Speaker 2>Yes, yeah, don't answer my like my phone ring on

0:01:48.000 --> 0:01:50.760
<v Speaker 2>my phone rings, you know, fifteen times a day from

0:01:50.760 --> 0:01:54.560
<v Speaker 2>tellmarkers and uh spam calls my dad. I try to

0:01:54.560 --> 0:01:57.640
<v Speaker 2>help my dad on different things, and sometimes I'll tell them, Dad,

0:01:57.680 --> 0:01:59.880
<v Speaker 2>if somebody's got a question, you just tell them to

0:02:00.360 --> 0:02:03.400
<v Speaker 2>call me. Don't don't. Don't deal with these people anymore.

0:02:03.400 --> 0:02:05.560
<v Speaker 2>They're trying to sell himself with the phone. So he

0:02:05.560 --> 0:02:08.880
<v Speaker 2>apparently gave somebody with Medicare my phone number, and I

0:02:08.919 --> 0:02:11.560
<v Speaker 2>get about fifteen calls from Medicare. And if people want

0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:16.240
<v Speaker 2>to know if I need any kind of devices as

0:02:16.280 --> 0:02:18.200
<v Speaker 2>I get older, they think i'm him. So I get

0:02:18.200 --> 0:02:20.519
<v Speaker 2>all his Medicare calls about fifteen a day.

0:02:20.840 --> 0:02:22.320
<v Speaker 3>Oh nice, thanks Dad.

0:02:24.840 --> 0:02:28.400
<v Speaker 1>Your parents just keep on giving all the way through

0:02:28.520 --> 0:02:32.840
<v Speaker 1>all right, So this is OTP pre game. Jim Wyatt

0:02:32.919 --> 0:02:35.519
<v Speaker 1>is sitting in the Snickers hot seat, which he likes

0:02:35.560 --> 0:02:37.600
<v Speaker 1>because he's a huge Snickers fan.

0:02:37.840 --> 0:02:39.040
<v Speaker 2>Sure do you like Snickers?

0:02:39.120 --> 0:02:42.240
<v Speaker 1>Yes? So we have five topics that we're going to

0:02:42.240 --> 0:02:44.640
<v Speaker 1>bring up till are you and you're not prepared for

0:02:44.680 --> 0:02:47.280
<v Speaker 1>these five topics? Obviously just about candy.

0:02:47.520 --> 0:02:49.040
<v Speaker 3>He's Jim. He's always prepared.

0:02:49.080 --> 0:02:50.040
<v Speaker 1>He's always prepared.

0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:52.800
<v Speaker 2>Ask if I needed my Packers depth chart here?

0:02:53.000 --> 0:02:54.960
<v Speaker 1>You know. I mean, we're going to hit some Packers stuff,

0:02:55.000 --> 0:02:56.120
<v Speaker 1>but I think you'll be okay.

0:02:56.720 --> 0:02:56.800
<v Speaker 3>Uh.

0:02:57.080 --> 0:03:01.080
<v Speaker 1>Topic one on the OTP pre game. What do you

0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:06.720
<v Speaker 1>remember about Thursday November seventeenth, twenty twenty two when the

0:03:06.760 --> 0:03:10.760
<v Speaker 1>Titans won at Green Bay on Thursday night football? Oh? Man,

0:03:11.639 --> 0:03:12.680
<v Speaker 1>you remember the final score?

0:03:13.360 --> 0:03:16.320
<v Speaker 2>M What was the final score of that game? Don't

0:03:16.360 --> 0:03:17.200
<v Speaker 2>remember the final score?

0:03:17.240 --> 0:03:17.720
<v Speaker 1>I remember my.

0:03:17.720 --> 0:03:20.919
<v Speaker 2>Niece was at the game. Okay, didn't get this, didn't

0:03:20.919 --> 0:03:21.600
<v Speaker 2>get to see her.

0:03:22.080 --> 0:03:24.200
<v Speaker 1>What was the final score that twenty seven to seventeen

0:03:24.280 --> 0:03:24.919
<v Speaker 1>Titans won?

0:03:25.120 --> 0:03:26.520
<v Speaker 3>Yep, I was cheating.

0:03:26.400 --> 0:03:30.240
<v Speaker 2>Twenty seven seventeen. It was a Ryan Tannehill had a

0:03:30.240 --> 0:03:31.040
<v Speaker 2>decent game.

0:03:30.880 --> 0:03:33.520
<v Speaker 1>And Ran Tannehill had a very good game. Actually, he

0:03:33.680 --> 0:03:37.640
<v Speaker 1>threw for over three hundred yards three hundred and thirty

0:03:37.640 --> 0:03:41.040
<v Speaker 1>three yards and a couple of touchdowns, completed twenty two

0:03:41.280 --> 0:03:46.080
<v Speaker 1>of twenty seven passes, one twenty seven point three passer rating.

0:03:46.560 --> 0:03:48.520
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I remember him having a great game, and I

0:03:48.600 --> 0:03:51.520
<v Speaker 2>remember leaving there feeling like the team had a lot

0:03:51.560 --> 0:03:52.320
<v Speaker 2>of momentum.

0:03:52.400 --> 0:03:54.800
<v Speaker 1>Titans were seven and three leaving there.

0:03:54.920 --> 0:03:57.160
<v Speaker 2>And then I remember it not going so well after that.

0:03:57.560 --> 0:04:00.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I thought on that day that the Titans were

0:04:00.600 --> 0:04:02.600
<v Speaker 3>never going to lose another game, like this is it.

0:04:03.040 --> 0:04:05.400
<v Speaker 3>This is where the streak just takes on.

0:04:05.280 --> 0:04:08.720
<v Speaker 1>Seven and three at that point, Traylon Burke's best game

0:04:08.840 --> 0:04:13.160
<v Speaker 1>is Titan Yes, seven catches for one hundred eleven yards,

0:04:13.200 --> 0:04:16.840
<v Speaker 1>including a fifty one yard catch. Derek Henry threw a

0:04:16.839 --> 0:04:23.200
<v Speaker 1>touchdown pass to jeff Swain, Jeffrey Simmons had a sack, sure,

0:04:23.240 --> 0:04:27.479
<v Speaker 1>and they kind of did to Aaron Ers. Aaron Rodgers

0:04:27.560 --> 0:04:32.400
<v Speaker 1>had basically the exact same game that night for the

0:04:32.440 --> 0:04:35.800
<v Speaker 1>Packers that he did last Sunday for the Jets. Two

0:04:35.880 --> 0:04:41.480
<v Speaker 1>touchdown passes, ninety four point seven quarterback rating, nothing great

0:04:41.560 --> 0:04:45.359
<v Speaker 1>but just very efficient. But boy, what all has changed

0:04:45.400 --> 0:04:47.080
<v Speaker 1>since that night in Green Bay?

0:04:47.360 --> 0:04:50.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that was the start of an end of a

0:04:50.240 --> 0:04:53.560
<v Speaker 2>rough season and kind of got us to where we

0:04:53.600 --> 0:04:55.560
<v Speaker 2>are today with a new coach and kind of starting

0:04:55.600 --> 0:05:00.000
<v Speaker 2>over with a new team. But feel like we're all

0:05:00.120 --> 0:05:02.360
<v Speaker 2>the right path. Just need to win a couple of

0:05:02.400 --> 0:05:03.720
<v Speaker 2>games here and get some momentum.

0:05:03.760 --> 0:05:06.599
<v Speaker 1>The Packers have a lot of familiar names that are

0:05:07.360 --> 0:05:09.800
<v Speaker 1>still with the team. They've obviously added players over the

0:05:09.839 --> 0:05:12.919
<v Speaker 1>course of the last two seasons, but they are just

0:05:13.279 --> 0:05:17.320
<v Speaker 1>such a consistently built organization.

0:05:18.160 --> 0:05:20.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and they don't do it by spending a lot

0:05:20.440 --> 0:05:22.920
<v Speaker 2>of money in free agency or being real aggressive when

0:05:22.920 --> 0:05:28.000
<v Speaker 2>it comes to player acquisition. They draft, they try to

0:05:28.040 --> 0:05:31.719
<v Speaker 2>retain their own guys. They've got an approach that they

0:05:32.160 --> 0:05:37.279
<v Speaker 2>believe in and they stick to it. And you know,

0:05:37.920 --> 0:05:39.960
<v Speaker 2>I was impressed by what they did this past week,

0:05:40.000 --> 0:05:44.680
<v Speaker 2>winning and winning against the Colts without Jordan Love. And

0:05:44.720 --> 0:05:47.120
<v Speaker 2>that is in large part because of the system that

0:05:47.160 --> 0:05:49.599
<v Speaker 2>they have in place and the guys they have leading

0:05:49.640 --> 0:05:50.760
<v Speaker 2>the way.

0:05:50.800 --> 0:05:54.320
<v Speaker 1>Better on defense than what people know. They have a

0:05:54.320 --> 0:05:56.680
<v Speaker 1>good offensive line. But the other thing too, that they

0:05:56.720 --> 0:06:01.880
<v Speaker 1>do with receivers that's so impressive is they find their

0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:07.279
<v Speaker 1>receivers largely at the Senior Bowl. Yeah, Yeah, it's really fascinating.

0:06:07.560 --> 0:06:13.280
<v Speaker 1>So Christian Watson, Romeo Dobbs, right, and they find and

0:06:13.560 --> 0:06:16.280
<v Speaker 1>you go back to the Jordie Nelsons and the Randall

0:06:16.400 --> 0:06:21.880
<v Speaker 1>Cobbs and all of these other guys. So they find

0:06:22.080 --> 0:06:28.160
<v Speaker 1>fits that are perfect. Jayden Reid, their slot receiver, was

0:06:28.200 --> 0:06:30.919
<v Speaker 1>a guy that really impressed us at the Senior Bowl

0:06:31.600 --> 0:06:35.400
<v Speaker 1>and the Senior and he was drafted in the second round.

0:06:35.520 --> 0:06:40.440
<v Speaker 1>So they find system fits. And because the system is

0:06:40.520 --> 0:06:45.080
<v Speaker 1>so well established, they can have a second or third

0:06:45.200 --> 0:06:48.800
<v Speaker 1>or fourth round receiver become a star. They don't have

0:06:48.880 --> 0:06:51.479
<v Speaker 1>to draft the guy in the top ten. They can

0:06:51.520 --> 0:06:55.440
<v Speaker 1>find a defensive lineman that would become a star for

0:06:55.600 --> 0:07:01.640
<v Speaker 1>them because like the Steelers, like the raven and they

0:07:01.720 --> 0:07:05.000
<v Speaker 1>have that system in place. They have the scouting staff

0:07:05.000 --> 0:07:10.000
<v Speaker 1>in place, they keep the general managers in place, the

0:07:10.120 --> 0:07:12.360
<v Speaker 1>head coach, I mean, their head coach has been there

0:07:12.440 --> 0:07:17.000
<v Speaker 1>now for six years, which is hard to believe that

0:07:15.960 --> 0:07:18.840
<v Speaker 1>it really is. It really is.

0:07:19.920 --> 0:07:22.080
<v Speaker 2>And I think you know you're starting to see the

0:07:22.160 --> 0:07:24.280
<v Speaker 2>team here do that a little bit as far as

0:07:25.080 --> 0:07:27.960
<v Speaker 2>I think you know that. Look at the number of

0:07:28.000 --> 0:07:30.560
<v Speaker 2>players here that were in the Senior Bowl last year

0:07:30.560 --> 0:07:32.200
<v Speaker 2>and in some of the Senior Bowls in the past

0:07:32.240 --> 0:07:34.560
<v Speaker 2>and you want to get as system in place and

0:07:34.600 --> 0:07:35.320
<v Speaker 2>stick with it.

0:07:36.440 --> 0:07:39.679
<v Speaker 1>No, that's what you know. Chad Brinker, ran.

0:07:39.600 --> 0:07:44.000
<v Speaker 2>Carthon, you know, Brian Callahan, all want to do and

0:07:44.040 --> 0:07:47.200
<v Speaker 2>that's just a matter of getting consistency and just cycling

0:07:47.240 --> 0:07:47.720
<v Speaker 2>guys in.

0:07:48.120 --> 0:07:50.040
<v Speaker 1>And where does Chad Brinker come from?

0:07:50.320 --> 0:07:54.080
<v Speaker 3>Green Bay the epitome of old school NFL.

0:07:54.560 --> 0:07:57.800
<v Speaker 1>You know, they now have the NFL record for wins,

0:07:57.960 --> 0:08:03.679
<v Speaker 1>They have overtaken the Bears, and they just last Sunday

0:08:03.720 --> 0:08:06.080
<v Speaker 1>won their eight hundredth game in the.

0:08:06.120 --> 0:08:08.440
<v Speaker 3>National Football Do you get a cake or something for

0:08:08.560 --> 0:08:11.840
<v Speaker 3>that eight hundred games as a franchise win.

0:08:11.840 --> 0:08:15.040
<v Speaker 1>I would say to you, not meaning to be facetious.

0:08:15.080 --> 0:08:17.960
<v Speaker 1>Normally in that situation you would probably give the owner

0:08:18.120 --> 0:08:21.280
<v Speaker 1>a cake. But they have no single owner.

0:08:21.080 --> 0:08:24.600
<v Speaker 3>So everybody gets cake. The community.

0:08:23.720 --> 0:08:31.880
<v Speaker 1>The community, the community in essence owns the Green Bay Packers, which.

0:08:31.880 --> 0:08:32.920
<v Speaker 3>Is so cool.

0:08:33.160 --> 0:08:37.079
<v Speaker 1>Well, yeah, the owners don't just love it in the

0:08:37.200 --> 0:08:44.280
<v Speaker 1>league because since the Packers are public, you can you know,

0:08:44.320 --> 0:08:46.520
<v Speaker 1>you can buy the share of stock and all that.

0:08:46.600 --> 0:08:49.000
<v Speaker 1>And then you go to the shareholders meeting, which they

0:08:49.040 --> 0:08:53.760
<v Speaker 1>have every year, they tell everyone what they got from

0:08:53.840 --> 0:08:58.480
<v Speaker 1>the league dispersal. They tell everyone all of these things.

0:08:58.679 --> 0:09:02.360
<v Speaker 1>So the owners are not phenomenally crazy about that. When

0:09:02.400 --> 0:09:10.319
<v Speaker 1>that information gets out from the Packers shareholders meeting, it's official, Yeah,

0:09:10.360 --> 0:09:15.200
<v Speaker 1>because they've told their shareholders what it is. The the

0:09:15.200 --> 0:09:18.880
<v Speaker 1>the NFL is not a publicly traded company. They don't

0:09:18.920 --> 0:09:24.720
<v Speaker 1>really want to share that information, and yet the Packers, yes,

0:09:24.960 --> 0:09:26.320
<v Speaker 1>have to share it with the group.

0:09:27.040 --> 0:09:30.600
<v Speaker 3>Interesting the things you never think about.

0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:31.560
<v Speaker 1>Well, I think about that.

0:09:31.679 --> 0:09:33.520
<v Speaker 3>Well, I'm sure a lot of people think a lot

0:09:33.520 --> 0:09:35.440
<v Speaker 3>of people in Green Bay probably think about it too,

0:09:35.960 --> 0:09:36.679
<v Speaker 3>But I never have.

0:09:36.840 --> 0:09:38.880
<v Speaker 1>Do you know someone who owns the sheriff stock in

0:09:38.920 --> 0:09:40.040
<v Speaker 1>the Packers? I don't know.

0:09:40.240 --> 0:09:42.880
<v Speaker 2>I have. I have a sister that lives uh in

0:09:42.960 --> 0:09:45.400
<v Speaker 2>Milwaukee and her husband to who's Packers family. I don't

0:09:45.400 --> 0:09:47.880
<v Speaker 2>think they own a share of the Packers.

0:09:48.280 --> 0:09:49.640
<v Speaker 1>I know a couple of people who come.

0:09:49.720 --> 0:09:51.720
<v Speaker 3>Can I ask a silly question, Sure, do you get

0:09:51.760 --> 0:09:55.720
<v Speaker 3>like a like a check in the mail? I don't

0:09:55.800 --> 0:09:57.680
<v Speaker 3>think Or does it just kind of go back into

0:09:57.720 --> 0:10:01.400
<v Speaker 3>the park collect I don't think there's a there's not

0:10:01.480 --> 0:10:02.200
<v Speaker 3>like a buyout.

0:10:02.440 --> 0:10:04.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't think there's a public dispersal.

0:10:04.880 --> 0:10:08.040
<v Speaker 3>Interesting, so it just kind of goes back into the pot.

0:10:08.080 --> 0:10:10.680
<v Speaker 3>But they are kind of in the know of like

0:10:11.240 --> 0:10:12.040
<v Speaker 3>financially what's that?

0:10:12.200 --> 0:10:14.720
<v Speaker 1>And you get to go you get to go here

0:10:14.840 --> 0:10:18.440
<v Speaker 1>the president, who's I think getting ready to cycle out

0:10:18.520 --> 0:10:23.080
<v Speaker 1>Mark Murphy. They have the annual gathering and they I

0:10:23.080 --> 0:10:25.080
<v Speaker 1>think they do it at Lambeau. I think they do

0:10:25.120 --> 0:10:26.120
<v Speaker 1>it become the stadium.

0:10:26.160 --> 0:10:27.400
<v Speaker 3>It's like the State of the Union.

0:10:27.559 --> 0:10:28.280
<v Speaker 1>Whi's what it is.

0:10:28.400 --> 0:10:31.480
<v Speaker 3>It's very cool. Yes, it's just different. I like different,

0:10:32.080 --> 0:10:32.520
<v Speaker 3>all right.

0:10:33.000 --> 0:10:36.439
<v Speaker 1>Topic number two on the OTP pre game every Thursday.

0:10:36.600 --> 0:10:40.720
<v Speaker 1>It posts at eight o'clock Central time. Jim whittt pass

0:10:40.800 --> 0:10:46.960
<v Speaker 1>catcher that needs a breakout game to help Will levis Aby.

0:10:47.040 --> 0:10:48.320
<v Speaker 1>You can answer this too if you'd like.

0:10:48.480 --> 0:10:49.679
<v Speaker 3>I shall you know?

0:10:49.800 --> 0:10:54.640
<v Speaker 2>I think you know? Does Sunday kind is a breakout

0:10:54.679 --> 0:10:56.560
<v Speaker 2>game for Kylin Ridley. I mean, I guess it does.

0:10:56.679 --> 0:11:00.520
<v Speaker 2>I think it touchdowns? So because I think he's just

0:11:00.679 --> 0:11:02.960
<v Speaker 2>scratching the surface on what that's going to be. I mean,

0:11:03.000 --> 0:11:05.559
<v Speaker 2>I think more is coming from him, So I think

0:11:05.600 --> 0:11:08.760
<v Speaker 2>i'd say DeAndre Hopkins. I mean it just because he

0:11:09.040 --> 0:11:11.560
<v Speaker 2>has been pretty much invisible the first couple of weeks.

0:11:11.559 --> 0:11:14.320
<v Speaker 2>Part of that's because he's not hasn't been completely healthy.

0:11:14.360 --> 0:11:16.560
<v Speaker 2>Another part of us because they just haven't worked him

0:11:16.559 --> 0:11:22.120
<v Speaker 2>in from a snap standpoint. You know, Brian Callahan talked

0:11:22.160 --> 0:11:24.520
<v Speaker 2>earlier this week just about wanting to make him the

0:11:24.559 --> 0:11:27.319
<v Speaker 2>primary receiver on some plays, which is going to lead

0:11:27.360 --> 0:11:29.800
<v Speaker 2>to him getting the ball more. I think if you

0:11:29.840 --> 0:11:32.559
<v Speaker 2>can start taking advantage of Hopkins and him winning one

0:11:32.600 --> 0:11:35.560
<v Speaker 2>on ones, that opens things up for other people. So

0:11:36.040 --> 0:11:38.040
<v Speaker 2>I mean, so far it's been quiet for Hopkins, has

0:11:38.040 --> 0:11:41.320
<v Speaker 2>been quiet for Boyd, has been quiet really for everybody

0:11:41.400 --> 0:11:46.160
<v Speaker 2>except for Ridley's you know, big catch on Sunday. So

0:11:46.520 --> 0:11:48.880
<v Speaker 2>I'll go Hopkins here. I think. I think he needs

0:11:48.920 --> 0:11:50.600
<v Speaker 2>to kind of get into a groove and turn into

0:11:50.720 --> 0:11:54.920
<v Speaker 2>a threat that other teams have to worry about.

0:11:55.120 --> 0:11:59.640
<v Speaker 3>I say, Traylon Burkes, I think it is. I think

0:11:59.640 --> 0:12:02.600
<v Speaker 3>for his his own personal career, it's time for him

0:12:02.679 --> 0:12:05.400
<v Speaker 3>to show what we've all seen him do in practice.

0:12:05.440 --> 0:12:07.880
<v Speaker 3>It's time for that to translate into a game and

0:12:07.920 --> 0:12:10.319
<v Speaker 3>for him to have a really big game. I think

0:12:10.400 --> 0:12:15.160
<v Speaker 3>it's obvious in watching them work together that Will Levis

0:12:16.120 --> 0:12:18.600
<v Speaker 3>has a good rapport with Traylon Burg'd be dire, right,

0:12:18.800 --> 0:12:22.040
<v Speaker 3>and so I think that that is a well that

0:12:22.120 --> 0:12:24.720
<v Speaker 3>he is going to go to every Sunday. If given

0:12:24.720 --> 0:12:27.840
<v Speaker 3>the opportunity because I think that there's a familiarity there.

0:12:29.160 --> 0:12:33.319
<v Speaker 3>Now it's on Trailan to complete the play, to finish

0:12:33.400 --> 0:12:36.640
<v Speaker 3>the job, and so I think that if he can

0:12:36.679 --> 0:12:39.160
<v Speaker 3>have a breakout game on Sunday, I think that if

0:12:39.200 --> 0:12:42.320
<v Speaker 3>those two can get some traction under their wheels a

0:12:42.320 --> 0:12:45.320
<v Speaker 3>little bit and really start to make something happen, I

0:12:45.360 --> 0:12:47.280
<v Speaker 3>think that can be a really good thing for all

0:12:47.320 --> 0:12:48.160
<v Speaker 3>people involved.

0:12:49.000 --> 0:12:50.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and I think Traylan needs some good things to

0:12:51.040 --> 0:12:53.760
<v Speaker 2>happen to him to build confidence. I mean, they've talked

0:12:53.840 --> 0:12:56.120
<v Speaker 2>him up so much during the course of this offseason.

0:12:56.160 --> 0:12:58.520
<v Speaker 2>I don't care whether it's a quarterback or the coordinator,

0:12:58.600 --> 0:13:02.480
<v Speaker 2>or the head coach or the they've all set bragged

0:13:02.520 --> 0:13:04.600
<v Speaker 2>on him. But there comes a time where he has

0:13:04.640 --> 0:13:07.880
<v Speaker 2>to start making some plays, I think, to generate some

0:13:08.000 --> 0:13:10.280
<v Speaker 2>confidence for himself. He'd love to see him come down

0:13:10.280 --> 0:13:12.520
<v Speaker 2>with a ball on Sunday. I thought he had a

0:13:12.520 --> 0:13:15.800
<v Speaker 2>better chance to catch it than the Jets defender, but

0:13:15.840 --> 0:13:17.559
<v Speaker 2>he didn't come down with him. If he can make

0:13:17.600 --> 0:13:19.160
<v Speaker 2>a play like that, but.

0:13:19.280 --> 0:13:21.199
<v Speaker 1>What could that have been for him though?

0:13:21.400 --> 0:13:21.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:13:21.880 --> 0:13:22.600
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah.

0:13:22.760 --> 0:13:25.280
<v Speaker 2>Instead, it's a momentum play going the other way, and

0:13:26.920 --> 0:13:30.320
<v Speaker 2>he has to take advantage of his opportunities when they come.

0:13:30.800 --> 0:13:36.960
<v Speaker 1>All Right, topic, number three Packers player you are most

0:13:37.160 --> 0:13:40.520
<v Speaker 1>worried about from a Titans perspective.

0:13:41.720 --> 0:13:43.880
<v Speaker 2>I guess it depends on who the quarterback is. I mean,

0:13:43.920 --> 0:13:48.360
<v Speaker 2>if it's Jordan Love, that's who I worry about, just

0:13:48.480 --> 0:13:52.559
<v Speaker 2>because he'll give them a lot more on offense. And

0:13:52.640 --> 0:13:55.840
<v Speaker 2>I think what Malik Willis would be able to and uh,

0:13:56.400 --> 0:13:59.120
<v Speaker 2>you know, Malik proved on Sunday that he can win

0:13:59.160 --> 0:14:03.040
<v Speaker 2>a game. They did it by running the football and

0:14:04.360 --> 0:14:09.160
<v Speaker 2>while protecting him and him protecting the ball and him

0:14:09.240 --> 0:14:11.760
<v Speaker 2>picking the spots. But if Love's back in there, that

0:14:12.000 --> 0:14:15.040
<v Speaker 2>opens up the offense even more and he'd be the

0:14:15.120 --> 0:14:19.880
<v Speaker 2>guy I think would be a more much more considerable threat.

0:14:20.440 --> 0:14:24.560
<v Speaker 3>Do you have one that was mine? I think I

0:14:24.600 --> 0:14:27.960
<v Speaker 3>think that anything else you can game plan for the

0:14:28.760 --> 0:14:31.400
<v Speaker 3>wildcard of who's going to be back there is going

0:14:31.440 --> 0:14:35.080
<v Speaker 3>to change up what they do schematically enough that there

0:14:35.120 --> 0:14:39.120
<v Speaker 3>are reasons to worry about each individual quarterback being back there.

0:14:39.200 --> 0:14:42.320
<v Speaker 3>So I think that is the that's the ticket either way.

0:14:42.600 --> 0:14:44.000
<v Speaker 1>Mine's Rashaun Gary.

0:14:44.240 --> 0:14:47.000
<v Speaker 3>Really, Okay, that's a good one.

0:14:47.040 --> 0:14:49.080
<v Speaker 1>He is a you know, he doesn't have double digit

0:14:49.160 --> 0:14:51.440
<v Speaker 1>sacks in a season yet, and this is year six

0:14:51.480 --> 0:14:55.400
<v Speaker 1>out of Michigan. But he's a really good pass rusher.

0:14:55.960 --> 0:14:59.680
<v Speaker 1>He's nearly two hundred and eighty pounds, and so he's

0:14:59.760 --> 0:15:06.760
<v Speaker 1>one of those outside linebacker defensive end guys who's less

0:15:06.800 --> 0:15:11.160
<v Speaker 1>linebacker and more defensive lineman. He's really good against the run,

0:15:11.960 --> 0:15:15.280
<v Speaker 1>and he's he's a he's a good power pass rusher

0:15:15.320 --> 0:15:20.200
<v Speaker 1>as well. I mean he's due a double digit sack year.

0:15:20.560 --> 0:15:22.360
<v Speaker 1>I mean that's gonna hap. I mean, he's a really

0:15:22.400 --> 0:15:25.800
<v Speaker 1>good player and so that's going to happen for him

0:15:25.840 --> 0:15:28.920
<v Speaker 1>at some point even and he has won right now

0:15:28.960 --> 0:15:32.120
<v Speaker 1>through the first two games. But yeah, you know, the

0:15:32.120 --> 0:15:35.640
<v Speaker 1>the edge guys for the Titans, Latham was was much better.

0:15:36.880 --> 0:15:40.360
<v Speaker 1>Petit Frere did not have a good game. This kind

0:15:40.400 --> 0:15:43.080
<v Speaker 1>of player is a tough player to go against, both

0:15:43.120 --> 0:15:47.920
<v Speaker 1>against the run in the past because he's heavy. I

0:15:48.000 --> 0:15:52.800
<v Speaker 1>know the Titans liked him coming out of Michigan. Yeah,

0:15:52.880 --> 0:15:57.600
<v Speaker 1>nobody was. Those players are really hard to project because

0:15:57.640 --> 0:16:01.120
<v Speaker 1>they they're not as twitchy as the six five two

0:16:01.160 --> 0:16:05.280
<v Speaker 1>forty five, two fifty guys. And sometimes you're saying, okay,

0:16:05.320 --> 0:16:09.400
<v Speaker 1>does that guy eat his way further into the defensive

0:16:09.480 --> 0:16:13.840
<v Speaker 1>line yeah, does he become just a guy out there

0:16:14.680 --> 0:16:18.440
<v Speaker 1>or does he morph into this player who does both well?

0:16:18.480 --> 0:16:20.760
<v Speaker 1>And you're like, yeah, we're really glad we drafted him.

0:16:20.960 --> 0:16:24.400
<v Speaker 1>That's what happened with him. So that's mine.

0:16:24.440 --> 0:16:26.520
<v Speaker 3>That was a good one, Mike, that's a good one.

0:16:26.520 --> 0:16:29.320
<v Speaker 2>And I know we didn't name Josh Jacobs, but he

0:16:30.280 --> 0:16:33.280
<v Speaker 2>that's that's a good one to a reason I didn't.

0:16:33.440 --> 0:16:35.680
<v Speaker 2>I just I think the Titans defense is gonna be stout.

0:16:35.720 --> 0:16:37.720
<v Speaker 2>I mean, especially the way Ernest Jones play. I don't

0:16:37.720 --> 0:16:39.440
<v Speaker 2>care who the running back is. I think they're gonna

0:16:39.440 --> 0:16:43.480
<v Speaker 2>be good defensively stopping the run all year. And uh,

0:16:44.120 --> 0:16:47.160
<v Speaker 2>I don't think they have the same success they try

0:16:47.200 --> 0:16:49.840
<v Speaker 2>to take that approach against this defense as they did

0:16:49.840 --> 0:16:51.080
<v Speaker 2>against the Coles.

0:16:51.560 --> 0:16:52.160
<v Speaker 3>I agree.

0:16:52.680 --> 0:16:56.880

0:18:04.280 --> 0:18:04.480

0:18:09.800 --> 0:18:14.639
<v Speaker 1>Okay. Topic number four for Jim Wyatt is this Titans

0:18:14.720 --> 0:18:18.879
<v Speaker 1>defensive player who has been the most pleasant surprise to

0:18:19.040 --> 0:18:22.680
<v Speaker 1>you through two games. And that doesn't mean he's come

0:18:22.680 --> 0:18:23.440
<v Speaker 1>out of nowhere.

0:18:23.560 --> 0:18:25.639
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean yeah, And I just I wish I

0:18:25.680 --> 0:18:28.040
<v Speaker 2>would have just said his name because Ernest Jones watching

0:18:28.119 --> 0:18:31.359
<v Speaker 2>him play on Sunday and I'm watching him from a

0:18:31.440 --> 0:18:34.960
<v Speaker 2>far against uh, you know, for the Rams. I knew

0:18:34.960 --> 0:18:36.439
<v Speaker 2>he was a good player, but coming to here and

0:18:36.480 --> 0:18:38.200
<v Speaker 2>just seeing the attitude he plays, with the way he

0:18:38.280 --> 0:18:41.320
<v Speaker 2>runs the football, how physical he is. Knowing that was

0:18:41.400 --> 0:18:44.080
<v Speaker 2>just a second game and he's playing every single snap,

0:18:44.359 --> 0:18:47.359
<v Speaker 2>I think he qualifies as the most as the the

0:18:47.400 --> 0:18:50.879
<v Speaker 2>biggest eye opener to me, Landry has been very impactful.

0:18:50.920 --> 0:18:53.919
<v Speaker 2>Three sacks so far, and I think the corners have

0:18:54.000 --> 0:18:58.760
<v Speaker 2>done a mostly solid job. But I'm giving it to

0:18:59.359 --> 0:19:02.240
<v Speaker 2>Jones just because I think of what's coming next, and

0:19:02.280 --> 0:19:05.359
<v Speaker 2>we've always seen him one full game.

0:19:06.400 --> 0:19:09.000
<v Speaker 3>Mine was Harold Landry. I knew that he would be

0:19:09.160 --> 0:19:11.280
<v Speaker 3>back and he would be good, and he was coming

0:19:11.280 --> 0:19:13.520
<v Speaker 3>off of a great end to twenty three, and so

0:19:13.600 --> 0:19:17.520
<v Speaker 3>we were expecting good and consistent from him. He has

0:19:17.560 --> 0:19:21.040
<v Speaker 3>been great, and I think that he exceeded even my

0:19:21.200 --> 0:19:26.120
<v Speaker 3>expectations because he's usually a guy that really peeks towards

0:19:26.240 --> 0:19:30.360
<v Speaker 3>the mid end of the season, like he typically finishes

0:19:30.400 --> 0:19:34.359
<v Speaker 3>strong given that he's healthy. So I was kind of

0:19:34.400 --> 0:19:37.640
<v Speaker 3>expecting that again and he I mean, he has come

0:19:37.640 --> 0:19:41.640
<v Speaker 3>out guns of blazon early in the season. So what

0:19:41.720 --> 0:19:43.880
<v Speaker 3>does that mean for the remainder of the year. Who knows?

0:19:43.960 --> 0:19:47.680
<v Speaker 3>Is he just getting fired up? Who knows? But I'm

0:19:47.720 --> 0:19:50.880
<v Speaker 3>excited about him. I'm excited watching him play, and I've

0:19:50.920 --> 0:19:55.840
<v Speaker 3>been pleasantly surprised about how consistent and how impactful he

0:19:55.920 --> 0:19:57.520
<v Speaker 3>has been so early in the season.

0:19:57.600 --> 0:19:59.800
<v Speaker 1>It's a great point. And you know, he stayed hot

0:19:59.840 --> 0:20:01.719
<v Speaker 1>for the end of last year. He was hot at

0:20:01.720 --> 0:20:03.720
<v Speaker 1>the end of the season. Seemed like he was getting

0:20:03.720 --> 0:20:07.440
<v Speaker 1>a sack every game in November, December, in the first

0:20:07.440 --> 0:20:10.360
<v Speaker 1>part of January. And when you have those players get

0:20:10.400 --> 0:20:12.560
<v Speaker 1>on those streaks, I mean you love to see it.

0:20:12.600 --> 0:20:13.639
<v Speaker 1>And he's just kept going.

0:20:13.800 --> 0:20:15.800
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, he hasn't stopped it. I mean, we spend a

0:20:15.840 --> 0:20:18.199
<v Speaker 3>lot of time talking about the big guys, and rightly so,

0:20:18.440 --> 0:20:21.639
<v Speaker 3>I mean, we have some great defensive linemen and a

0:20:21.680 --> 0:20:25.119
<v Speaker 3>lot of guys to talk about, but Harold Landry always

0:20:25.200 --> 0:20:27.240
<v Speaker 3>kind of gets oh yeah, and Harold's there and he's

0:20:27.320 --> 0:20:30.359
<v Speaker 3>good too. But I mean, Harold Landry is having a

0:20:30.480 --> 0:20:32.360
<v Speaker 3>remarkable first couple of games.

0:20:32.760 --> 0:20:34.880
<v Speaker 1>Well, I mean he's on pace for I mean, he's

0:20:34.920 --> 0:20:36.840
<v Speaker 1>got three sacks through two games. I mean, you keep

0:20:36.840 --> 0:20:39.480
<v Speaker 1>that pace going, you start talking about crazy stuff.

0:20:39.520 --> 0:20:41.680
<v Speaker 3>Well that's what I'm saying. I mean, and he could

0:20:41.680 --> 0:20:45.360
<v Speaker 3>do crazy stuff, that's right, because he gets he typically

0:20:45.359 --> 0:20:46.879
<v Speaker 3>gets better as the season goes on.

0:20:47.000 --> 0:20:47.760
<v Speaker 1>That's very fair.

0:20:47.880 --> 0:20:48.439
<v Speaker 3>So there you go.

0:20:48.680 --> 0:20:51.399
<v Speaker 1>Okay, topic number five for Jim Wide. Who's in the

0:20:51.440 --> 0:20:55.760
<v Speaker 1>Snickers hot seat on this edition of the OTP pre

0:20:55.920 --> 0:20:58.800
<v Speaker 1>Game in our new studio here at Ascension Saint Thomas

0:20:58.840 --> 0:20:59.400
<v Speaker 1>Sports Park.

0:20:59.480 --> 0:20:59.919
<v Speaker 3>Isn't it, Coke?

0:21:00.800 --> 0:21:02.920
<v Speaker 1>It really is? Don't you like this?

0:21:03.160 --> 0:21:06.400
<v Speaker 2>It is very nice in the fireplace in here?

0:21:06.440 --> 0:21:06.920
<v Speaker 1>Getting one?

0:21:07.359 --> 0:21:08.280
<v Speaker 2>Are you getting a fireplace?

0:21:10.960 --> 0:21:14.280
<v Speaker 3>Well? You know I'm buying one now, all right.

0:21:15.160 --> 0:21:20.880
<v Speaker 1>Former Titan that has a bigger impact on Sunday's game

0:21:21.000 --> 0:21:24.480
<v Speaker 1>or I guess should say the biggest impact Malik willis

0:21:25.760 --> 0:21:32.359
<v Speaker 1>Brandon Nervusen, Andre Dillard. That's a great question. I'll repeat it.

0:21:32.400 --> 0:21:38.800
<v Speaker 1>That former Titan who has the biggest impact on Sunday's

0:21:39.000 --> 0:21:43.840
<v Speaker 1>game Malik willis Brandon Harvison, Andre Dillard.

0:21:44.840 --> 0:21:46.439
<v Speaker 2>Well, I guess, I mean it depends on what the

0:21:46.480 --> 0:21:49.800
<v Speaker 2>Milik plays. Obviously, if Malik's starting quarterback, that's an easy ame.

0:21:49.880 --> 0:21:50.560
<v Speaker 1>What's your gifts?

0:21:51.880 --> 0:21:53.080
<v Speaker 2>My guess is he's gonna play.

0:21:53.200 --> 0:21:53.800
<v Speaker 1>I think so too.

0:21:53.920 --> 0:21:56.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, And they're gonna play this game, you know, and

0:21:57.240 --> 0:22:01.480
<v Speaker 2>you know all the way until Adam After or Tom

0:22:01.520 --> 0:22:06.639
<v Speaker 2>Pellasero or Ian Rappaport tweets something out Saturday night at

0:22:06.640 --> 0:22:07.480
<v Speaker 2>eleven o'clock.

0:22:07.800 --> 0:22:11.920
<v Speaker 1>Well, and the Thursday tweet from Chefter is already out,

0:22:12.000 --> 0:22:14.760
<v Speaker 1>and he's saying that his sources are saying it's fifty

0:22:14.760 --> 0:22:15.560
<v Speaker 1>to fifty.

0:22:15.280 --> 0:22:19.040
<v Speaker 2>Yes, And I think, as you know, eleven pm, those

0:22:19.040 --> 0:22:21.639
<v Speaker 2>things seem to roll out eleven pm on Saturday night,

0:22:21.760 --> 0:22:25.800
<v Speaker 2>right after midnight Eastern, we'll probably get a more definitive word.

0:22:25.800 --> 0:22:27.520
<v Speaker 2>But they're gonna play this game all the way through.

0:22:27.560 --> 0:22:30.640
<v Speaker 2>That's why I answered. You know, I watched the videos

0:22:30.640 --> 0:22:33.600
<v Speaker 2>of love and practice yesterday and he did some movement.

0:22:34.160 --> 0:22:37.320
<v Speaker 2>You know, it was obviously just individual and and it

0:22:37.440 --> 0:22:42.159
<v Speaker 2>wasn't it wasn't team portion of practice. You know, if

0:22:42.200 --> 0:22:44.880
<v Speaker 2>he plays, he's obviously gonna make gonna make a big

0:22:44.920 --> 0:22:46.399
<v Speaker 2>impact of this game. I just can't see it. I

0:22:46.400 --> 0:22:48.760
<v Speaker 2>don't know why you would risk putting love out there

0:22:49.440 --> 0:22:53.600
<v Speaker 2>for the you know, for week three, and risk potentially

0:22:53.640 --> 0:22:55.879
<v Speaker 2>having something happen to him. It would impact the season.

0:22:55.920 --> 0:22:58.320
<v Speaker 2>So I my gut tells me it's going to be Maleik.

0:22:59.160 --> 0:23:02.680
<v Speaker 2>And uh so, Malik is gonna have the biggest impact,

0:23:03.200 --> 0:23:05.960
<v Speaker 2>whether that's good or bad. I mean, the Titans know him,

0:23:06.040 --> 0:23:08.960
<v Speaker 2>he knows the Titans. I think the Titans have a

0:23:09.000 --> 0:23:11.320
<v Speaker 2>plan for him, but obviously Matt Lafleur knows what he's

0:23:11.359 --> 0:23:13.280
<v Speaker 2>doing as well. He's gonna have a plan to take

0:23:13.320 --> 0:23:15.880
<v Speaker 2>advantage of Malik's strengths, and they did that very well

0:23:15.920 --> 0:23:16.679
<v Speaker 2>against the Colts.

0:23:17.000 --> 0:23:19.439
<v Speaker 1>All Right, So, Amy, I'm gonna ask you the same question. Okay,

0:23:19.560 --> 0:23:22.400
<v Speaker 1>former Titan that has a bigger impact on Sunday's game,

0:23:22.440 --> 0:23:24.919
<v Speaker 1>Malik Willis, Brandon Arvis and Andre Dillard.

0:23:26.400 --> 0:23:33.240
<v Speaker 3>Assuming Malik Willis, assuming just answer the question. Well, I

0:23:33.240 --> 0:23:35.200
<v Speaker 3>don't want to pick the same thing as Jim again,

0:23:35.240 --> 0:23:39.040
<v Speaker 3>So I'm gonna say Brandon Narvison, Okay, because I think.

0:23:38.840 --> 0:23:44.880
<v Speaker 1>That now we're assuming he's still the game. We're assuming

0:23:44.920 --> 0:23:47.920
<v Speaker 1>he's still the kicker on Sunday, which if we feel

0:23:47.960 --> 0:23:50.720
<v Speaker 1>like he will be. Although Matt Lafleur did not give

0:23:50.800 --> 0:23:52.880
<v Speaker 1>him the greatest vote of confidence.

0:23:53.240 --> 0:23:54.240
<v Speaker 3>This is exhausting.

0:23:54.600 --> 0:23:56.640
<v Speaker 1>This is an exhausting game, isn't it wonderful?

0:23:56.840 --> 0:23:57.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:23:57.200 --> 0:24:00.600
<v Speaker 3>But I think that assuming he is the kicker and

0:24:00.680 --> 0:24:03.240
<v Speaker 3>he comes into town and play, I think that he

0:24:03.320 --> 0:24:06.200
<v Speaker 3>will probably be the person scoring a lot of points

0:24:06.240 --> 0:24:10.240
<v Speaker 3>for this team. I think that the Titans defense's whole

0:24:10.320 --> 0:24:13.720
<v Speaker 3>plan is to force them to be kicking at field

0:24:13.760 --> 0:24:17.760
<v Speaker 3>goals as opposed to scoring touchdowns given the option. So

0:24:18.040 --> 0:24:20.679
<v Speaker 3>I mean he'll probably be a big part of that.

0:24:20.960 --> 0:24:24.320
<v Speaker 1>I think it's Narves and too because I think Maleik starts.

0:24:25.800 --> 0:24:28.280
<v Speaker 1>I think the real question is can Jordan Love be

0:24:28.359 --> 0:24:32.480
<v Speaker 1>the backup? Because if Jordan Love is able to be

0:24:32.520 --> 0:24:35.360
<v Speaker 1>the backup, then they don't have to elevate Sewn Clifford.

0:24:35.440 --> 0:24:39.000
<v Speaker 1>They could, they would have the ability to elevate another player,

0:24:39.320 --> 0:24:43.000
<v Speaker 1>and the Packers do have more guys banged up at

0:24:43.000 --> 0:24:47.920
<v Speaker 1>this point than the Titans. Do you know? They even

0:24:48.000 --> 0:24:51.600
<v Speaker 1>threw in the caveat the source and the Adam Schefter

0:24:51.680 --> 0:24:55.680
<v Speaker 1>piece through in the caveat that they would feel more

0:24:55.720 --> 0:24:59.960
<v Speaker 1>optimistic towards Jordan Love being ready to play against Minnesota

0:25:00.040 --> 0:25:02.520
<v Speaker 1>week from Sunday against the Titans.

0:25:02.720 --> 0:25:03.200
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:25:03.280 --> 0:25:07.280
<v Speaker 1>So if it is Malik, Malik has shown they can

0:25:07.640 --> 0:25:10.359
<v Speaker 1>that he can move the football, no problem with that

0:25:10.440 --> 0:25:15.159
<v Speaker 1>at all. But they probably do kick at more field goals.

0:25:16.240 --> 0:25:18.040
<v Speaker 3>Yep, that is my guess.

0:25:18.080 --> 0:25:22.000
<v Speaker 1>And if that is the case. Nrvisson is six of

0:25:22.040 --> 0:25:25.720
<v Speaker 1>eight on field goals at this point. He's missed a

0:25:25.760 --> 0:25:31.399
<v Speaker 1>forty six yarder and a forty five yarder. You know

0:25:31.480 --> 0:25:34.440
<v Speaker 1>that could prove to be a key in this because

0:25:34.440 --> 0:25:36.960
<v Speaker 1>we know what his range is. We know he's talented.

0:25:37.160 --> 0:25:39.159
<v Speaker 3>We saw him in the preseason absolutely, and.

0:25:39.840 --> 0:25:43.360
<v Speaker 1>I mean he's a good kicker, but he's also a rookie. Yeah,

0:25:43.400 --> 0:25:49.840
<v Speaker 1>but and so does you know I said bigger impact, Well,

0:25:49.880 --> 0:25:52.520
<v Speaker 1>for him, the bigger impact could be making.

0:25:52.160 --> 0:25:54.240
<v Speaker 3>The kicks or missing them or.

0:25:54.200 --> 0:25:58.399
<v Speaker 1>Missing the kicks. And you know this is going to

0:25:58.480 --> 0:26:02.719
<v Speaker 1>draw two the side by side comparison between he and

0:26:02.840 --> 0:26:07.000
<v Speaker 1>Nick Folk. Mmm, yeah, did you you know? So you're

0:26:07.000 --> 0:26:09.479
<v Speaker 1>gonna I mean, all of that's going to come up

0:26:09.560 --> 0:26:11.120
<v Speaker 1>because I think this is going to be a game

0:26:11.160 --> 0:26:13.080
<v Speaker 1>where you're gonna see some kicks. That's just me.

0:26:13.480 --> 0:26:16.719
<v Speaker 2>Not long after the Titans part of ways with Brayden,

0:26:16.840 --> 0:26:18.840
<v Speaker 2>he ended up being the Packers kicker. I've got a

0:26:18.840 --> 0:26:20.960
<v Speaker 2>lot of people questioning, well, why would you not stick

0:26:21.000 --> 0:26:23.639
<v Speaker 2>with him? You know why? You know he's got He's

0:26:23.760 --> 0:26:26.720
<v Speaker 2>a young guy, you can develop shook. Kickers are no

0:26:27.480 --> 0:26:30.760
<v Speaker 2>sure thing. We all know that, and this team has had,

0:26:31.600 --> 0:26:35.520
<v Speaker 2>you know, after such a great run of having dependable kickers.

0:26:36.240 --> 0:26:39.280
<v Speaker 2>That ended a lot of way in a lot of ways.

0:26:39.280 --> 0:26:41.520
<v Speaker 2>After Ryan's suck up left his team's been through a

0:26:41.520 --> 0:26:45.320
<v Speaker 2>lot of kickers, and so I've certainly thought it was

0:26:45.320 --> 0:26:48.480
<v Speaker 2>the right decision to go with Folk for.

0:26:48.640 --> 0:26:49.360
<v Speaker 1>Of a sure thing.

0:26:49.480 --> 0:26:53.120
<v Speaker 2>And he's been good and hopefully Norviston has a great career.

0:26:53.160 --> 0:26:55.159
<v Speaker 2>I really like him as a nice kid. It's one

0:26:55.200 --> 0:26:57.080
<v Speaker 2>of those guys that would you go out of his

0:26:57.160 --> 0:26:59.200
<v Speaker 2>way to say hello to you. But he was twenty

0:26:59.240 --> 0:27:01.920
<v Speaker 2>one to twenty eight camp he uh yeah. He hit

0:27:01.960 --> 0:27:03.800
<v Speaker 2>the long field goal in the preseason.

0:27:03.800 --> 0:27:06.800
<v Speaker 1>We also missed some made the game winning kicks in

0:27:06.840 --> 0:27:08.320
<v Speaker 1>the Seattle game, tess yep.

0:27:08.560 --> 0:27:12.439
<v Speaker 2>So he's uh, he's a tough minded kid. But I

0:27:12.480 --> 0:27:16.800
<v Speaker 2>think Folk is what this team needs. Don't need it,

0:27:16.840 --> 0:27:20.920
<v Speaker 2>don't need another issue to be raising its nickle point.

0:27:21.040 --> 0:27:23.680
<v Speaker 1>It's thirty one of thirty two since he got here. Yeah,

0:27:23.760 --> 0:27:27.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean after kicker Palooza in twoenty nineteen.

0:27:29.640 --> 0:27:31.919
<v Speaker 3>That makes it sound like it was fun. It was

0:27:32.040 --> 0:27:32.600
<v Speaker 3>not fun.

0:27:33.880 --> 0:27:35.160
<v Speaker 1>It was kicker palooser.

0:27:35.320 --> 0:27:36.520
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, kicker hell.

0:27:37.160 --> 0:27:40.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean we saw Cairo Santos in Week one and

0:27:40.280 --> 0:27:43.920
<v Speaker 1>he has righted his career, yes, but he was four

0:27:43.960 --> 0:27:45.880
<v Speaker 1>of nine when he was here, and he was out

0:27:45.880 --> 0:27:48.520
<v Speaker 1>of football for the rest of twenty nineteen before the

0:27:48.520 --> 0:27:51.480
<v Speaker 1>Bears brought him in in twenty twenty, and he reach,

0:27:51.560 --> 0:27:53.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean, there were some good kickers who were part

0:27:53.840 --> 0:27:59.520
<v Speaker 1>of the roster and got here and just, oh god,

0:27:59.720 --> 0:28:02.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean, Stephen Goskowski's going to call the game on

0:28:02.240 --> 0:28:06.399
<v Speaker 1>national radio with Larry kah Here on Sunday. His twenty

0:28:06.480 --> 0:28:10.440
<v Speaker 1>twenty was, you know, kind of all over the road.

0:28:10.520 --> 0:28:14.880
<v Speaker 3>It was just seating pads so many Yeah, fully smokes,

0:28:15.119 --> 0:28:17.240
<v Speaker 3>I've never seen anything like it. I'm scarved.

0:28:17.240 --> 0:28:21.720
<v Speaker 1>But Kicker Palooza in twenty nineteen was that was crazy, dude.

0:28:21.800 --> 0:28:24.920
<v Speaker 3>Kicker Palooza sounds like fun, sounds like there's rides and

0:28:25.440 --> 0:28:28.879
<v Speaker 3>rises there were. I mean it was kicker.

0:28:28.760 --> 0:28:29.159
<v Speaker 1>I mean.

0:28:30.640 --> 0:28:32.000
<v Speaker 2>An emotional roller coaster.

0:28:32.160 --> 0:28:34.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah was. I mean the Titans were eight of eighteen

0:28:34.640 --> 0:28:38.920
<v Speaker 1>on field goals. Virtually every high school in Middle Tennessee

0:28:40.040 --> 0:28:43.320
<v Speaker 1>is better than forty four percent on field goals.

0:28:43.800 --> 0:28:46.680
<v Speaker 3>I mean it was just it was crazy, right, awful,

0:28:47.120 --> 0:28:47.760
<v Speaker 3>is what it was.

0:28:47.920 --> 0:28:50.360
<v Speaker 1>So you got you got a guy who's made thirty

0:28:50.400 --> 0:28:51.640
<v Speaker 1>one out of thirty two.

0:28:52.400 --> 0:28:53.200
<v Speaker 3>Go with that guy.

0:28:53.400 --> 0:28:57.960
<v Speaker 1>Well, I mean you're talking about analytics, Yeah, I mean

0:28:58.000 --> 0:29:01.880
<v Speaker 1>you're yeah, I mean, Nick folks probably not gonna kick

0:29:01.880 --> 0:29:06.440
<v Speaker 1>a sixty yard field goal. And at this point, ye, well,

0:29:06.440 --> 0:29:08.320
<v Speaker 1>I know, but you're That's what I'm saying. You're gonna

0:29:08.320 --> 0:29:11.320
<v Speaker 1>try a lot more forty forty one yarders than you

0:29:11.360 --> 0:29:15.120
<v Speaker 1>are sixty yarders. I think Narvis might have been on

0:29:15.160 --> 0:29:17.800
<v Speaker 1>the practice squad had he I think so. I think so,

0:29:18.120 --> 0:29:20.440
<v Speaker 1>had he cleared waivers. I agree with.

0:29:20.400 --> 0:29:23.520
<v Speaker 2>That, And if he ever becomes available at some point again,

0:29:23.560 --> 0:29:25.280
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't be surprised if he's back here.

0:29:25.160 --> 0:29:27.840
<v Speaker 1>Right because you'd like to have a young guy that

0:29:27.920 --> 0:29:31.280
<v Speaker 1>you're working with all the time, who's working with your

0:29:31.320 --> 0:29:36.120
<v Speaker 1>snapper and you're holder and your position coach and things

0:29:36.120 --> 0:29:38.840
<v Speaker 1>of that sort. So I don't think that's a bad

0:29:38.880 --> 0:29:42.880
<v Speaker 1>strategy at all. Some teams do the free agency thing.

0:29:43.480 --> 0:29:46.280
<v Speaker 1>Some teams draft a guy and then say, you know,

0:29:46.320 --> 0:29:49.640
<v Speaker 1>we're going to ride with this guy. Of course, you know,

0:29:49.760 --> 0:29:53.840
<v Speaker 1>the San Francisco forty nine ers, young kicker who's very talented,

0:29:54.120 --> 0:29:56.280
<v Speaker 1>had an extra point blocked in the Super Bowl that

0:29:56.400 --> 0:29:57.760
<v Speaker 1>tried not to be a key place.

0:29:57.920 --> 0:29:58.200
<v Speaker 3>Yep.

0:30:00.000 --> 0:30:04.200
<v Speaker 1>But here's the other thing that's wild with kickers. Kickers

0:30:04.320 --> 0:30:07.480
<v Speaker 1>through the first two weeks of NFL play are thirty

0:30:07.600 --> 0:30:12.440
<v Speaker 1>five of thirty nine on kicks of fifty or over. Wow,

0:30:12.880 --> 0:30:19.200
<v Speaker 1>they're making ninety percent of kicks fifty or over, and

0:30:19.320 --> 0:30:22.120
<v Speaker 1>of the four missus, Justin Tucker has two of them.

0:30:22.760 --> 0:30:29.800
<v Speaker 2>That's because he is pretty much autumn for many works. Yes, yeah,

0:30:29.800 --> 0:30:30.720
<v Speaker 2>that's the quad of stat.

0:30:30.840 --> 0:30:34.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean they're talking about him very legitimately as a

0:30:34.240 --> 0:30:36.280
<v Speaker 1>potential Hall of Famer at some point.

0:30:36.440 --> 0:30:36.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:30:36.880 --> 0:30:38.480
<v Speaker 1>So, how ironic is that.

0:30:39.960 --> 0:30:43.400
<v Speaker 3>I'm not saying it with a twinkling I'm not saying.

0:30:43.120 --> 0:30:44.960
<v Speaker 1>It with a twinkle in mind. I'm just saying that

0:30:45.080 --> 0:30:46.120
<v Speaker 1>is really surprising.

0:30:46.240 --> 0:30:47.480
<v Speaker 3>It is very surprising.

0:30:47.880 --> 0:30:49.840
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, these guys are putting in They're putting them

0:30:49.840 --> 0:30:51.840
<v Speaker 2>in the net. They're putting them in the net from

0:30:51.920 --> 0:30:52.880
<v Speaker 2>fifty five yards.

0:30:52.960 --> 0:30:57.480
<v Speaker 1>Jim, you remember if a guy was making sixty seven

0:30:57.680 --> 0:31:02.200
<v Speaker 1>to seventy five percent of forty yards, yes, he was

0:31:02.320 --> 0:31:05.920
<v Speaker 1>considered good. And now, I mean they send those guys

0:31:05.920 --> 0:31:09.479
<v Speaker 1>out there, they expect him to make seventy five, eighty percent,

0:31:09.560 --> 0:31:14.280
<v Speaker 1>in this case, ninety percent of fifty plus, just like

0:31:14.360 --> 0:31:18.040
<v Speaker 1>you and I can remember when a forty two yard

0:31:18.160 --> 0:31:21.720
<v Speaker 1>punt was good. And the Titans have a guy right

0:31:21.760 --> 0:31:24.480
<v Speaker 1>now whose career average is fifty three plus.

0:31:24.800 --> 0:31:30.080
<v Speaker 3>But think about how different the training for kickers is now,

0:31:30.440 --> 0:31:34.720
<v Speaker 3>I mean kids start when they're eight in like serious

0:31:34.960 --> 0:31:36.840
<v Speaker 3>regimented kicking program.

0:31:36.880 --> 0:31:39.280
<v Speaker 1>I think the biggest difference is soccer. And I think

0:31:40.120 --> 0:31:43.560
<v Speaker 1>soccer the prevalence of the training and then how many

0:31:43.640 --> 0:31:46.960
<v Speaker 1>kids are involved in soccer. I think has you know,

0:31:47.080 --> 0:31:51.240
<v Speaker 1>as soccer has boomed in this country, that's where it's

0:31:51.280 --> 0:31:52.200
<v Speaker 1>really come from.

0:31:52.280 --> 0:31:55.880
<v Speaker 3>But I mean, like the Titans punter has been practicing

0:31:55.960 --> 0:31:59.480
<v Speaker 3>punting his whole life, and some of that is family.

0:31:59.240 --> 0:32:01.840
<v Speaker 1>And he's one of only like five guys who punt

0:32:01.840 --> 0:32:04.920
<v Speaker 1>in the NFL who are not from Australia. Yeah that's yeah,

0:32:05.320 --> 0:32:08.560
<v Speaker 1>that's the other part of this that's so int I

0:32:08.600 --> 0:32:10.800
<v Speaker 1>mean the Bears punter in Week one was a twenty

0:32:10.840 --> 0:32:13.000
<v Speaker 1>seven year old rookie from Australia. Yep.

0:32:14.200 --> 0:32:16.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. And there's more and more coming all the time.

0:32:16.520 --> 0:32:18.320

<v Speaker 1>It's time now for the key and radients of the game,

0:33:01.080 --> 0:33:04.800
<v Speaker 1>delivered by Little Caesars. All right, Jim, hang on, you

0:33:04.880 --> 0:33:08.760
<v Speaker 1>have to hold the okay, here he goes pizza pizzas.

0:33:08.960 --> 0:33:10.680
<v Speaker 1>All right, so I have to do this in under

0:33:10.680 --> 0:33:11.440
<v Speaker 1>a minute.

0:33:11.520 --> 0:33:14.400
<v Speaker 2>Oh look at this, that's the technique.

0:33:14.800 --> 0:33:15.440
<v Speaker 3>That's pretty good.

0:33:15.520 --> 0:33:18.000
<v Speaker 1>Jack kind of like doing it like the Shoney's Big Boy.

0:33:18.200 --> 0:33:21.800
<v Speaker 2>I can't do it, big boy. Yeah, well I can't

0:33:21.840 --> 0:33:24.080
<v Speaker 2>do I can't do it flat against the box. They

0:33:24.120 --> 0:33:25.959
<v Speaker 2>got plates in my wrists. I've got to do it.

0:33:26.040 --> 0:33:27.800
<v Speaker 2>This is my technique. Here, nobody take a.

0:33:27.760 --> 0:33:31.640
<v Speaker 1>Picture of that. Whoever plays quarterback for the Packers on

0:33:31.680 --> 0:33:34.160
<v Speaker 1>Sunday at Nissan Stadium, they will be handing the ball

0:33:34.200 --> 0:33:37.000
<v Speaker 1>to Josh Jacobs. Jacobs carried thirty two times for one

0:33:37.080 --> 0:33:39.320
<v Speaker 1>hundred and fifty one yards and the Packers went over

0:33:39.400 --> 0:33:42.040
<v Speaker 1>Indianapolis last weekend. They would love for him to get

0:33:42.080 --> 0:33:45.560
<v Speaker 1>thirty plus touches again this week. Key number one pretty obvious,

0:33:45.640 --> 0:33:49.880
<v Speaker 1>slow down, Josh Jacobs. Key number two pretty straightforward as well.

0:33:50.200 --> 0:33:52.720
<v Speaker 1>Take care of the ball. Titans are minus four in

0:33:52.800 --> 0:33:56.120
<v Speaker 1>turnover ratio. Packers are plus four in the same department.

0:33:56.200 --> 0:33:59.080
<v Speaker 1>Titans need to flip that script and win the turnover battle.

0:33:59.360 --> 0:34:02.520
<v Speaker 1>The third key is also about the Tennessee offense. They

0:34:02.840 --> 0:34:06.000
<v Speaker 1>must stay on the field. In their first two games,

0:34:06.280 --> 0:34:09.239
<v Speaker 1>far too many three and outs. Titans offense needs to

0:34:09.239 --> 0:34:12.040
<v Speaker 1>move the chains, extend drives, slip the field, and most

0:34:12.120 --> 0:34:15.480
<v Speaker 1>obviously score points. Less three and outs are a key.

0:34:15.520 --> 0:34:18.240
<v Speaker 3>That was definitely under a minute. Good job, Mike Keith,
