WEBVTT - The OTP | Covering Four Downs from Week 1 0:00:10.680 --> 0:00:13.880 This is the OTP presented by far Bureau Health Plans. 0:00:14.120 --> 0:00:16.919 Healthcare coverage from far Bureau Health Plans is like an 0:00:16.960 --> 0:00:19.320 extra set of pads when you need them the most. 0:00:19.720 --> 0:00:23.520 They've been protecting Tennessee and since nineteen forty seven. It's 0:00:23.520 --> 0:00:26.759 time to do the OTP. Four Downs with me, Mike 0:00:26.880 --> 0:00:29.639 Keith and with Titans Radio's Rhet Bryan. Rhet, thank you 0:00:29.720 --> 0:00:33.080 so much for joining me for this early week OTP. 0:00:33.680 --> 0:00:36.040 I am glad to do it. It's always a pleasure 0:00:36.040 --> 0:00:39.680 to do the Official Titans Podcast. Here we go, let's 0:00:39.680 --> 0:00:44.000 do it. First down, Rhett, Brian, your play that turned 0:00:44.040 --> 0:00:47.040 the game in the titans thirty eight to thirteen loss 0:00:47.080 --> 0:00:49.960 to Arizona. Okay, so you have Kevin Byard who's just 0:00:50.080 --> 0:00:54.320 picked off Kyler Murray. Couple plays later, Ryan Tannehill hits 0:00:54.480 --> 0:00:56.920 A J. Brown for a thirteen yard touchdown and it's 0:00:56.960 --> 0:01:00.440 an eleven point game at that point. Very next play, 0:01:00.520 --> 0:01:04.120 when it's the Arizona Cardinals possession, it's twelve fifty five 0:01:04.240 --> 0:01:07.279 left in the third quarter. Rodney huts in their center 0:01:08.040 --> 0:01:11.880 fumbles the ball. Kyler Murray recovers that ball at the 0:01:11.920 --> 0:01:16.600 Arizona twenty. He passes to Rondel Moore, who gets scoots 0:01:16.640 --> 0:01:19.039 up the yard up there for twenty nine yards. It's 0:01:19.040 --> 0:01:22.320 an explosive play. So that ends at the Tennessee forty six. 0:01:22.640 --> 0:01:25.759 A few plays later, it's Kyler Murray to Christian Kirk 0:01:26.040 --> 0:01:28.120 and all of a sudden, the game's busted back open. 0:01:28.240 --> 0:01:31.920 That's the play to me that changed everything. All right, 0:01:31.959 --> 0:01:36.240 here's mine and it will be obvious to mention Chandler 0:01:36.319 --> 0:01:40.920 Jones forcing the fumball on Ryan Tannehill. And that, of 0:01:40.920 --> 0:01:42.959 course is very early in the ball game. The play 0:01:43.000 --> 0:01:45.559 snapped with eight thirty six to go in the first quarter, 0:01:45.880 --> 0:01:49.640 Titans second and eleven at their own nineteen. Ryan Tannehill 0:01:49.800 --> 0:01:52.640 is sacked by Jones at the ten from minus nine. 0:01:53.000 --> 0:01:57.880 The ball rolls free. Corey Peters recovers, looks like he 0:01:57.960 --> 0:02:01.200 goes into the end zone for the touchdown, but upon 0:02:01.360 --> 0:02:04.440 further review, the league rules that he was down at 0:02:04.440 --> 0:02:07.880 the half yard line. The Chandler Jones play to me 0:02:08.880 --> 0:02:11.400 is not the play that turned the game. The play 0:02:11.480 --> 0:02:15.079 that turned the game is third down and here's why. 0:02:15.639 --> 0:02:18.840 On first down and goal at the one inch line, 0:02:19.240 --> 0:02:23.400 Darrell Daniels the tight end false starts, so the balls 0:02:23.480 --> 0:02:26.959 move back to near the six yard line. Kyler Murray 0:02:27.200 --> 0:02:34.040 incomplete to Green, Kyler Murray incomplete to Harris, and so 0:02:34.120 --> 0:02:38.040 now it's third down and goal at the five. The 0:02:38.040 --> 0:02:43.040 Titans get excellent pressure on Kyler Murray. Landry is all 0:02:43.040 --> 0:02:45.360 over him. He throws the ball in the back of 0:02:45.400 --> 0:02:48.840 the end zone, and there's the Titan killer himself, DeAndre 0:02:49.000 --> 0:02:53.760 Hopkins makes the catch somehow clearly gets two feet down. 0:02:54.120 --> 0:02:57.240 It's a touchdown. If you force a field goal there, 0:02:57.360 --> 0:03:02.279 it's six's nothing. Even after the FuMB it's sixs nothing. Instead, 0:03:03.120 --> 0:03:08.240 Murray beats you with a great play to again Hopkins, 0:03:08.240 --> 0:03:10.720 who I wish would just go away. I don't ever 0:03:10.760 --> 0:03:13.760 want to see. That makes all of us he just 0:03:14.360 --> 0:03:16.360 he's a Titans killer. I think you can make a 0:03:16.360 --> 0:03:19.560 case for both of these things. I certainly think that's 0:03:19.600 --> 0:03:22.480 a place I picked. The play. I picked because the 0:03:22.520 --> 0:03:24.560 Titans were trying to climb back into it. But they 0:03:24.600 --> 0:03:27.880 had a chance, and they had eleven point separation. Right 0:03:27.880 --> 0:03:30.760 there after they got a very timely turnover in a 0:03:30.880 --> 0:03:34.320 very Kevin Byard fashion, they end up making it count 0:03:34.320 --> 0:03:36.839 with a touchdown, and they close the gap a little bit, 0:03:37.200 --> 0:03:39.680 and then here we go with the Kyler Murray Show. Okay, 0:03:39.760 --> 0:03:42.560 because the stadium's rocking. Yes, plenty of time in the 0:03:42.600 --> 0:03:44.920 third quarter. If you get a three and out at 0:03:45.000 --> 0:03:47.160 that point, you can go back to running the ball. 0:03:47.760 --> 0:03:50.440 I let you go first in that right. Look what 0:03:50.600 --> 0:03:54.000 I originally wrote down as my play, screamed to Rode 0:03:54.160 --> 0:03:57.800 more So I had to change on the fly based 0:03:57.800 --> 0:04:00.520 on what you said. My apologies, but that also lets 0:04:00.520 --> 0:04:03.080 me know I was correct at some point. It was 0:04:03.120 --> 0:04:05.200 a huge point. I mean, it just it was. That 0:04:05.280 --> 0:04:08.800 was a pivotal play. Well, I do think the second one, 0:04:08.920 --> 0:04:12.040 in case you picked mine, I had written down the 0:04:12.200 --> 0:04:16.160 touchdown after the forced fumble, because again I think if 0:04:16.160 --> 0:04:18.680 you get off the field right there, they're at your 0:04:18.720 --> 0:04:21.560 half yard line they had originally had a touchdown which 0:04:21.600 --> 0:04:24.640 was overheld. If it's a field goal right there, it's 0:04:24.680 --> 0:04:27.520 six to nothing and you're saying, okay, we can reset. 0:04:27.960 --> 0:04:31.520 Instead it's ten to nothing, and it just feels different. 0:04:31.560 --> 0:04:34.600 And DeAndre Hopkins does his best Spider Man impression again 0:04:34.640 --> 0:04:36.680 and then just tap tap back there. And I mean 0:04:36.760 --> 0:04:41.280 he was millahars away from being out of bounds in 0:04:41.360 --> 0:04:44.640 the back of the end zone, but yet he finds 0:04:44.680 --> 0:04:47.120 the place to put both tap tap down. All right, 0:04:47.160 --> 0:04:49.840 so first down is complete, Let's go to second down. 0:04:50.360 --> 0:04:53.919 Your stat that tells the story of the day, and 0:04:54.000 --> 0:04:56.040 here's mine. I'm gonna go first on this one, so 0:04:56.080 --> 0:04:59.440 you don't take mine. Twenty two rushing attempts for the Titans. 0:04:59.680 --> 0:05:03.440 Twenty two rushing attempts. I think if you picked up 0:05:03.480 --> 0:05:06.200 the game book that I have in my hands right now, 0:05:06.640 --> 0:05:09.239 and you looked at the Titans and you saw twenty 0:05:09.240 --> 0:05:12.960 two rushing attempts, ninety nine out of one hundred times, 0:05:12.960 --> 0:05:15.880 the Titans lose because they want to run the ball 0:05:15.960 --> 0:05:18.479 more than twenty two times. Now the one time, maybe 0:05:18.520 --> 0:05:20.760 you have twenty two carries for two hundred and fifty 0:05:20.800 --> 0:05:24.520 yards because Derrick Henry broke two long runs. Maybe that's 0:05:24.560 --> 0:05:28.440 the case, but on average, a team total of twenty 0:05:28.440 --> 0:05:31.320 two carries does not get it done for the Tennessee 0:05:31.320 --> 0:05:35.120 Titans offense. Your stat that tells the story Yours is 0:05:35.160 --> 0:05:38.360 the yards within the yards. Mine is similar, but more 0:05:38.360 --> 0:05:40.960 out in the open. And that is when you look 0:05:41.000 --> 0:05:42.480 at the game book that you have in your hand 0:05:42.520 --> 0:05:45.559 that also have here, there's a sheet at the last 0:05:45.560 --> 0:05:47.880 part of it there that gives the ten longest plays 0:05:47.880 --> 0:05:50.160 for each team, and it goes to what coach Mack 0:05:50.320 --> 0:05:52.719 preached all week last week leading to this one, is 0:05:52.760 --> 0:05:56.039 you can't give up explosive plays for everyone listening. For 0:05:56.080 --> 0:05:59.720 the ot people listening, that is an offensive play that 0:05:59.760 --> 0:06:02.200 you're defense gives up of twenty yards or greater. Well, 0:06:02.279 --> 0:06:05.359 six of their ten longest plays for the Arizona Cardinals 0:06:05.640 --> 0:06:09.480 were explosive plays. One was a touchdown and then several 0:06:09.520 --> 0:06:13.000 others set up other touchdowns. That's something that has to change, 0:06:13.040 --> 0:06:15.680 all right. So here's another one that was my runner up. 0:06:15.839 --> 0:06:21.040 Cardinals were seven of thirteen on third down. I mean, 0:06:21.160 --> 0:06:24.400 let's we know last year the Titans gave up fifty 0:06:24.400 --> 0:06:27.960 two percent third down conversions. Seven out of thirteen is 0:06:28.000 --> 0:06:30.839 not good enough. You've got to get off the field. 0:06:31.000 --> 0:06:35.320 Especially with a quarterback like Kyler Murray. You can't give 0:06:35.400 --> 0:06:39.360 him extra chances. This week against Russell Wilson, you can't 0:06:39.440 --> 0:06:43.040 give him extra chances. The Titans have to continue to 0:06:43.080 --> 0:06:47.599 improve on third down. It just has to happen, all right. 0:06:48.040 --> 0:06:50.479 So those are the stats that tell the story. Third 0:06:50.520 --> 0:06:56.760 down your area that the Titans must get fixed. And 0:06:57.040 --> 0:06:59.039 I'm telling you right now you have to pick one 0:06:59.160 --> 0:07:01.719 coming off this game. There may be multiple points. You 0:07:01.760 --> 0:07:03.919 have to pick one. What's yours? When you used to 0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:06.520 Amy Wells answering two or three ways, so I get 0:07:06.520 --> 0:07:10.200 six way. Sure, Sure, I'm gonna go with the offensive line. 0:07:11.240 --> 0:07:14.680 The continuity there is a little bit of a thing. 0:07:14.720 --> 0:07:18.480 And I say that with you know, Taylor to one 0:07:18.560 --> 0:07:21.520 comes back from an acl uh. You just got your 0:07:21.560 --> 0:07:24.200 starting center and Ben Jones you're starting right guard and 0:07:24.320 --> 0:07:27.320 Nate Davis back off the COVID nineteen reserve list. The 0:07:27.400 --> 0:07:30.080 first full day you can practice on Wednesday leading into 0:07:30.160 --> 0:07:32.240 a game week. I think that was a factor there. 0:07:33.080 --> 0:07:36.040 Um David Questenberry at right tackle, and I'm not, you know, 0:07:36.600 --> 0:07:39.800 poking anything at him in this It's just there's a 0:07:39.840 --> 0:07:43.760 lot of things there that are unsettled that you know 0:07:43.800 --> 0:07:45.760 how it is with an offensive line. They're one of 0:07:45.800 --> 0:07:48.600 the tightest knit groups in a in a unit, in 0:07:48.640 --> 0:07:51.000 a locker room, and I just felt like they were 0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:54.120 discombobulated yesterday. That's something that has to improve as a 0:07:54.320 --> 0:07:57.840 unit going forward. I agree. And I said this to 0:07:58.120 --> 0:08:00.320 someone from the Cardinals who's been a friend of mine 0:08:00.320 --> 0:08:04.160 for over twenty years. Before the game, he said, what 0:08:04.240 --> 0:08:06.240 are you worried about today, I said, I'm worried about 0:08:06.240 --> 0:08:09.960 the offensive line, and the reason is Taita Lewe hasn't 0:08:10.000 --> 0:08:13.720 practiced a lot. Roger Saffold is thirty three years old. 0:08:14.000 --> 0:08:16.920 He's the one who's practiced the most, but he's thirty 0:08:16.960 --> 0:08:20.000 three years old and he hasn't worked a lot. With Lawan, 0:08:20.160 --> 0:08:23.360 he took some days off as well. Ben Jones misstime 0:08:23.400 --> 0:08:26.880 with injury and COVID and he's over thirty years old. 0:08:27.000 --> 0:08:31.120 Nate Davis misstime with injury and COVID, and Quescent Berry 0:08:31.240 --> 0:08:34.600 hasn't played much right tackle right That group has not 0:08:34.760 --> 0:08:37.960 been together for all of the talk during the course 0:08:38.040 --> 0:08:41.760 of the two weeks leading up about the big four 0:08:42.000 --> 0:08:46.880 not having worked together Jones and Brown and Tannehill and Henry. 0:08:47.600 --> 0:08:50.480 I worried more about the offensive line just from a 0:08:50.600 --> 0:08:54.760 continuity standpoint. And you'll remember it was two years ago 0:08:55.640 --> 0:09:02.199 that it took Lewan and Saffled until after the first 0:09:02.320 --> 0:09:05.200 half of the season until they got in sync, and 0:09:05.200 --> 0:09:07.760 then down the stretch they were great. I think that's 0:09:07.760 --> 0:09:10.840 a position where you have to gel and I think 0:09:10.920 --> 0:09:13.920 them having a game under their belt, them having a 0:09:14.000 --> 0:09:17.360 tape to look at in that way, them having the 0:09:17.400 --> 0:09:20.560 week to get prepared together again. I think that's going 0:09:20.600 --> 0:09:22.559 to help them a lot, and it'll need to against 0:09:22.559 --> 0:09:26.520 this defense, This Seattle defense. I mean, they bring people 0:09:26.600 --> 0:09:29.440 from everywhere. They're doing all kinds of crazy stuff. What 0:09:29.480 --> 0:09:32.160 are you gonna do with Jamal Adams who led their 0:09:32.160 --> 0:09:34.560 team in quarterback sacks slash set a record for a 0:09:34.600 --> 0:09:36.920 defensive back with nine and a half. Right, Yeah, I 0:09:36.960 --> 0:09:40.560 mean this is a guy who is he comes out 0:09:40.559 --> 0:09:42.240 of Note got the money because he can do it. 0:09:42.320 --> 0:09:44.320 He can do it, he can make the big plays 0:09:44.400 --> 0:09:47.920 I think. I think the offensive line is a good point. 0:09:48.559 --> 0:09:51.240 I think they're very capable. Yeah, they do it. It's 0:09:51.240 --> 0:09:53.040 just one of those weird things. And I go back 0:09:53.040 --> 0:09:55.920 to those guys. They have meals together, they hang out together, 0:09:55.960 --> 0:09:59.600 they work out together, but they need these extra things 0:09:59.600 --> 0:10:03.160 to all come together. And when they do, that's that's 0:10:03.200 --> 0:10:07.240 when the Derek Henry large rushing performance has happened. You 0:10:07.280 --> 0:10:09.280 get more than twenty two carries in a ball game. 0:10:09.520 --> 0:10:12.120 There are all these great byproducts or dividends out of this. 0:10:12.600 --> 0:10:15.800 If everything is going right with them as unit in 0:10:15.840 --> 0:10:18.680 the first place. I think mine for the Titans is 0:10:18.720 --> 0:10:21.560 the area that they have to get fixed, stays with 0:10:21.640 --> 0:10:25.040 third down defense, and I think it will get better. 0:10:25.080 --> 0:10:28.800 I think Elijah Molden, having had a game under his belt, 0:10:29.480 --> 0:10:32.120 I think will help him greatly. I like the way 0:10:32.200 --> 0:10:34.440 he competed. I thought he got after it. I think 0:10:34.480 --> 0:10:37.280 he played forty one snaps. I thought he got after it. 0:10:37.320 --> 0:10:40.560 He didn't look scared, he challenged. You're gonna see some 0:10:40.640 --> 0:10:44.800 good wide receivers again this week. Lockett is something else. 0:10:44.960 --> 0:10:48.679 DK Medcalf is the beast of beasts. Now, I'll tell 0:10:48.679 --> 0:10:51.200 you in watching the tape of Seattle this morning, I'm 0:10:51.200 --> 0:10:54.520 really impressed with this. Will Disley. Yeah, the tight end. 0:10:54.640 --> 0:10:57.120 Tight end is a real nice player, got a few 0:10:57.160 --> 0:11:00.800 different options and weapons that they use. The rook Eskridge 0:11:00.880 --> 0:11:04.320 from Western Michigan is a player who's got a little, 0:11:04.520 --> 0:11:06.640 you know, a little shaken, a little wiggle in his game. 0:11:06.760 --> 0:11:09.280 Chris Carson can run it. Chris Carson can run it, 0:11:09.320 --> 0:11:11.320 and they can throw it out of the backfield and 0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:14.200 they're not scared to do that. So again, I will 0:11:14.240 --> 0:11:16.720 go back to third down defense as the area where 0:11:16.720 --> 0:11:20.240 the Titans have to continue to make improvement. All right, 0:11:20.240 --> 0:11:25.160 fourth down? One thing that you noticed and that you 0:11:25.280 --> 0:11:28.920 want to share on the OTP presented by Farm Bureau 0:11:29.000 --> 0:11:30.480 Health Plans. Turned to the folks who've been in the 0:11:30.480 --> 0:11:34.560 game since nineteen forty seven. Farm Bureau Health Plans offers 0:11:34.640 --> 0:11:37.000 the great healthcare coverage you need with a price tag 0:11:37.080 --> 0:11:43.000 you can afford. My observation was the passionate plea by 0:11:43.120 --> 0:11:47.800 Derreck Henry, who recently elected captain on offense, trying to 0:11:47.880 --> 0:11:50.600 light a fire on the sidelines and being very passionate 0:11:50.640 --> 0:11:52.240 into the point of being angry in the heat of 0:11:52.280 --> 0:11:56.960 the moment because you know things were not going their way. 0:11:57.000 --> 0:11:59.280 In fact, I went back and pulled the quotes from 0:11:59.320 --> 0:12:01.800 his post games stuff yesday. Yeah, just telling that, you know, 0:12:02.160 --> 0:12:05.120 we gotta play better. Looking lack of daisical, just walking 0:12:05.160 --> 0:12:07.560 around not playing how we play, not playing up to 0:12:07.600 --> 0:12:10.400 the standard we all talk about that we try to 0:12:10.440 --> 0:12:13.360 do each and every day what Coach Rabel talks about, 0:12:13.480 --> 0:12:15.760 and just reminds us that we've got to pick it up, 0:12:16.160 --> 0:12:19.240 got to play better. Those guys we're hitting on all 0:12:19.280 --> 0:12:21.840 cylinders speaking about Arizona on the other side of the field. 0:12:22.120 --> 0:12:24.080 So just trying to pick these guys up and trying 0:12:24.080 --> 0:12:26.440 to be the best leader I can and get things going. 0:12:26.520 --> 0:12:30.160 I noticed that, and just I know that doesn't mean 0:12:30.200 --> 0:12:32.480 a hill of beans after a thirty eight to thirteen loss, 0:12:32.840 --> 0:12:35.720 but those are the things that you notice. Even coach 0:12:35.840 --> 0:12:38.600 Rabel said it to us in postgame on Titan's radio, 0:12:39.200 --> 0:12:41.959 You're going to see who was active and aggressive and 0:12:42.000 --> 0:12:44.280 who maybe was a little lack of daysical. Well, the 0:12:44.320 --> 0:12:47.360 fact of the matter is it's week one, and week 0:12:47.440 --> 0:12:52.079 one is often a tease in the NFL. It oftentimes 0:12:52.160 --> 0:12:56.200 doesn't tell the story because teams have had the entire 0:12:56.240 --> 0:12:59.560 offseason to get ready for this game. Now they have 0:12:59.600 --> 0:13:02.640 a week to get ready for the next game. So 0:13:02.720 --> 0:13:06.160 you start to get into a flow. And the thing 0:13:06.200 --> 0:13:08.520 that you have to take from this is you've got 0:13:08.520 --> 0:13:12.280 to find a way to dig out and just remember 0:13:12.880 --> 0:13:17.520 you can't let this happen again. Now. The Cardinals were 0:13:17.559 --> 0:13:20.520 sort of in a better position. They've had less injuries 0:13:20.520 --> 0:13:24.640 in camp, they've been steadier, They were very confident coming 0:13:24.640 --> 0:13:28.079 in that they could win. Their people were very surprised 0:13:28.120 --> 0:13:32.840 they won like this, But you know, their best players 0:13:33.120 --> 0:13:36.000 have been in camp and available and played, and guess what, 0:13:36.120 --> 0:13:39.280 they went out and played to the level that they 0:13:39.320 --> 0:13:42.280 expected to play. The Titans have been a little different boat, 0:13:43.200 --> 0:13:46.480 but they didn't play well and they know this week 0:13:46.520 --> 0:13:49.920 they've got to show a very different type of effort. 0:13:50.200 --> 0:13:52.439 It's going to be a long week for everybody who 0:13:52.480 --> 0:13:55.280 wears two toned blue. I'm not telling the ot people 0:13:55.320 --> 0:13:58.280 anything they don't know. You know, it's a kick in 0:13:58.320 --> 0:14:03.079 the mouth for you. It's incredible disappointing. Everybody is incredibly 0:14:03.240 --> 0:14:07.080 disappointed in what happened, because you know, you've got the 0:14:07.160 --> 0:14:09.360 high hopes and you're excited, and there's a big crowd 0:14:09.360 --> 0:14:11.600 and we're here and it's a beautiful day, and then 0:14:11.760 --> 0:14:15.480 it is an absolute stinker's just no two ways about it. 0:14:16.120 --> 0:14:19.800 But you have to put it in the perspective that 0:14:19.840 --> 0:14:22.600 it's one of seventeen and you've got to get it 0:14:22.640 --> 0:14:26.160 back somewhere down the line, and you've got to you've 0:14:26.200 --> 0:14:29.840 got to look like you. And that's what the Titans 0:14:29.880 --> 0:14:31.920 have to figure out during the course of this week, 0:14:32.360 --> 0:14:35.560 when all they're gonna hear all week long is negative. 0:14:35.920 --> 0:14:40.760 Particularly going to Seattle. Nobody is going to pick them, nobody, 0:14:40.800 --> 0:14:45.400 everybody is gonna diss them. So fine, you know, it's 0:14:45.520 --> 0:14:48.640 it's gonna be all about the sixty nine players on 0:14:48.720 --> 0:14:52.800 that roster, counting the practice squad, the coaches and everybody 0:14:52.840 --> 0:14:55.360 at St. Thomas Sports Park. And I don't think Mike 0:14:55.440 --> 0:14:57.920 Vrabel necessarily minds that. I think he'll be he and 0:14:58.000 --> 0:15:00.760 John Robinson will be just fine with that. It's all 0:15:00.800 --> 0:15:03.160 about us and we've got to take care of us. 0:15:03.760 --> 0:15:08.200 The organization tends to embrace that role when things like 0:15:08.240 --> 0:15:11.680 this happen anyway, So yeah, I agree with what you're saying. 0:15:12.560 --> 0:15:15.560 You know, it's this is where the twenty four hour rule, 0:15:16.120 --> 0:15:19.000 where you celebrate a win or get rid of a 0:15:19.040 --> 0:15:21.960 loss and purge it out of the system, whether you 0:15:21.960 --> 0:15:24.520 can really do that, and coach Frabel's really good at 0:15:25.000 --> 0:15:28.280 at getting those things going organizationally, that's where this comes 0:15:28.280 --> 0:15:31.840 into play. You diagnose the film today, you get the 0:15:31.840 --> 0:15:33.520 bad taste out of your mouth, you get back on 0:15:33.560 --> 0:15:36.640 the practice field, and you get to work. So my 0:15:36.840 --> 0:15:38.880 thing that I noticed, and I wanted to mention, I 0:15:38.920 --> 0:15:41.240 was coming with a positive two because you kind of 0:15:41.280 --> 0:15:43.720 came with a positive, I'm coming with a positive as well. 0:15:45.080 --> 0:15:47.440 And that positive was on third and ten at the 0:15:47.520 --> 0:15:52.960 Arizona eleven in the second quarter, Ryan Tannehill's passed to 0:15:53.120 --> 0:15:57.000 Nick Westbrook Aquina to get down to the one inch line. 0:15:57.080 --> 0:15:59.600 First of all, you convert third and ten. Yeah, you 0:15:59.680 --> 0:16:02.120 got first and goal, that basically the half yard line 0:16:02.160 --> 0:16:06.840 because of his effort. And that is a tough catch. 0:16:07.640 --> 0:16:11.560 You're gonna get hit. That's making a play when you 0:16:11.640 --> 0:16:15.000 absolutely had to have it. That's giving your team a chance. 0:16:15.560 --> 0:16:19.520 I think the Westbrook Akenas of the world are going 0:16:19.600 --> 0:16:22.480 to continue to take bigger roles because I think there's 0:16:22.480 --> 0:16:25.520 something about that guy Ritt. I think that when I 0:16:25.560 --> 0:16:29.560 watch that guy in Tampa going against the Bucks, when 0:16:29.600 --> 0:16:33.560 I watch him compete against anybody, I think he's gonna 0:16:33.600 --> 0:16:37.000 be a guy that continues to develop as a football 0:16:37.080 --> 0:16:40.320 player and takes on a bigger role with this team. 0:16:40.560 --> 0:16:43.160 And I'm not just talking about this year. I do 0:16:43.240 --> 0:16:46.360 think it'll happen some this year. I think he can play. 0:16:46.840 --> 0:16:49.600 And a guy who can make that catch in an 0:16:49.680 --> 0:16:53.680 NFL game, to me is somebody who can help you 0:16:53.720 --> 0:16:56.880 win down the line and take you to a place 0:16:56.880 --> 0:16:59.040 where it was probably gonna be three and get you 0:16:59.080 --> 0:17:01.000 to a place where it ended six. And you know 0:17:01.080 --> 0:17:03.880 this too, it may not be three because your kicking 0:17:04.040 --> 0:17:08.840 situation is right, is really really well. When I got 0:17:08.880 --> 0:17:11.879 home last night, my wife's first question was about the kicker. 0:17:12.640 --> 0:17:15.160 What is that? I said, Well, you have to understand 0:17:15.240 --> 0:17:19.080 something for Michael Badgeley. He's never worked with Morgan Cox, 0:17:19.440 --> 0:17:23.399 He's never worked with Brett Kerr. They haven't worked with him. Man, 0:17:23.560 --> 0:17:27.520 that is a hard thing. That is a hard thing 0:17:27.640 --> 0:17:30.840 to walk into that situation. You're not used to the 0:17:30.880 --> 0:17:33.159 steps or the snap count. He flew in from the 0:17:33.160 --> 0:17:38.000 West Coast from he's a former charger who and I 0:17:38.040 --> 0:17:40.520 mean this was Jim White noticed it in practice on 0:17:40.600 --> 0:17:44.600 Friday when Sam Ficken got hurt. I mean, this happened 0:17:44.720 --> 0:17:49.480 at twelve o'clock on Friday, and by one o'clock they're 0:17:49.480 --> 0:17:51.560 having to figure out, how are we going to get 0:17:51.560 --> 0:17:54.760 a kicker in here? Our kicker who's been really good. 0:17:54.800 --> 0:17:58.960 We feel great about our kicker finally, and and now 0:17:59.160 --> 0:18:02.080 Sam Ficken is on IR with groin injury and you're 0:18:02.080 --> 0:18:05.639 having to bring in Michael Badgeley. And in fairness to 0:18:05.680 --> 0:18:08.679 Michael Badgeley, that is a difficult situation to be in, 0:18:09.119 --> 0:18:13.359 which means the Westbrook Akeena play is a big deal 0:18:13.400 --> 0:18:16.240 because even a thirty yard field goal at that moment 0:18:17.520 --> 0:18:22.680 isn't a given. And how destructive is it for your confidence? 0:18:22.920 --> 0:18:25.240 If you don't get points on that drive. The play 0:18:25.280 --> 0:18:29.280 Westbrook Akeena made, the play Bayard made, the two plays 0:18:29.359 --> 0:18:32.399 that Tannehill and Brown made, those are the types of 0:18:32.440 --> 0:18:34.920 plays that the Titans have to have more of to win. 0:18:35.520 --> 0:18:37.960 Those were the plays that gave them a chance at 0:18:37.960 --> 0:18:41.359 certain moments even to climb back in. But you know, 0:18:41.560 --> 0:18:43.960 the fact the matter is, if you stop and think 0:18:44.000 --> 0:18:48.480 about the plays that Kyler Murray made, that DeAndre Hopkins made, 0:18:48.480 --> 0:18:51.800 that Chandler Jones obviously made, that Christian Kirk made with 0:18:51.840 --> 0:18:55.200 the two catches that he made for touchdowns, Arizona made 0:18:55.240 --> 0:18:57.840 it happen. Man, They won the one on one battle. 0:18:57.920 --> 0:19:01.800 They absolutely won. If the Titans are gonna win in Seattle, 0:19:02.119 --> 0:19:04.600 knowing they're going against a guy Russell Wilson who's gonna 0:19:04.640 --> 0:19:06.639 make four or five of those plays, we know he is, 0:19:07.400 --> 0:19:11.600 the Titans have to have more of the Westbrook aquina, 0:19:12.200 --> 0:19:17.199 A J. Brown, Kevin Byard type, Jeffrey Simmons type plays 0:19:17.560 --> 0:19:20.520 and the Westbrook aquina. I'm glad you brought that as 0:19:20.560 --> 0:19:24.119 an example in this with fourth down question, because quite frankly, 0:19:24.160 --> 0:19:27.159 this is what every football team strives for and what 0:19:27.200 --> 0:19:33.119 they need is that fringe guy who makes an unexpected 0:19:33.160 --> 0:19:35.800 play when his numbers called, and that's exactly what Westbrook 0:19:35.840 --> 0:19:37.960 Akina did yesterday. I think he's gonna do it. And 0:19:38.000 --> 0:19:41.080 he's a big physical receiver, physical receiver, he sure is. 0:19:41.320 --> 0:19:43.640 All right. We want to mention something else before this 0:19:44.080 --> 0:19:47.640 edition of the OTP leaves us. And you've probably heard 0:19:47.640 --> 0:19:50.920 this either on Titans Radio or the team, but this 0:19:51.080 --> 0:19:54.760 Thursday night at Nissan Stadium, the Tennessee Titans are allowing 0:19:55.400 --> 0:19:58.720 Waverley Central High School, better known as the Waverley Tigers, 0:19:58.840 --> 0:20:03.399 to play host Region six three a rival white House, 0:20:03.960 --> 0:20:07.680 the White House Blue Devils. Seven o'clock kickoff, and it 0:20:07.760 --> 0:20:11.639 is gonna be really exciting. Think about those boys are 0:20:11.680 --> 0:20:14.680 gonna play on an NFL field, yes on a Thursday night, 0:20:14.880 --> 0:20:16.960 And if you're a Titans fan, I'm playing on one 0:20:16.960 --> 0:20:19.920 of those teams, that's like double whammy. It's really good. 0:20:20.040 --> 0:20:24.680 It's fantastic. Titans Radio is going to broadcast the game 0:20:25.000 --> 0:20:28.680 on our flagship station one oh four to five the Zone. 0:20:28.800 --> 0:20:31.520 We talked about it as a group and it had 0:20:31.520 --> 0:20:33.399 been thrown out, would you guys like to do it? 0:20:33.520 --> 0:20:37.080 Everybody on our team said, we're in. So it's Rhetts 0:20:37.280 --> 0:20:41.240 and me and Coach Mack and Amy Wells and Brad 0:20:41.320 --> 0:20:45.760 Willis and Philip Noel and Lucas Panzeca and our entire 0:20:45.800 --> 0:20:48.640 team at the studio, everybody is pitching in. I want 0:20:48.680 --> 0:20:52.840 to thank Cumulus Nashville for letting us broadcast from six 0:20:52.920 --> 0:20:55.440 to ten, because I think this is really going to 0:20:55.480 --> 0:20:57.680 be a special night. It's special for us to get 0:20:57.720 --> 0:21:00.359 to do it. The biggest reason we're doing it is 0:21:00.400 --> 0:21:02.960 not just because we love high school football, which we do, 0:21:03.320 --> 0:21:05.720 and not just because the games at Nissan Stadium, which 0:21:05.760 --> 0:21:10.400 is cool. But we're trying to call attention to how 0:21:10.480 --> 0:21:17.359 much help our friends in Humphries County, Waverley, McEwan, Hurricane Mills, 0:21:17.359 --> 0:21:21.360 how much help they need. They need millions of dollars 0:21:21.400 --> 0:21:24.920 worth of help. The rains on August the twenty first 0:21:25.640 --> 0:21:29.480 absolutely decimated that community. They are our friends, they are 0:21:29.480 --> 0:21:34.200 our neighbors. Rhet and I have both been there on caravans. 0:21:34.280 --> 0:21:38.240 We have a radio station there, We have friends there. 0:21:38.880 --> 0:21:41.360 These are good folks who need our help. And so 0:21:41.640 --> 0:21:45.119 what we're asking you to do to support Waverley, and 0:21:45.160 --> 0:21:48.000 what we're trying to call attention to this week is 0:21:48.400 --> 0:21:52.080 donate money to the United Way of Humphries County via 0:21:52.200 --> 0:21:56.120 this u r L and that is Tennessee Titans dot 0:21:56.119 --> 0:22:01.920 com slash donate to Waverley. Tennessee Titans dot com slash 0:22:02.080 --> 0:22:05.359 donate to Waverley. That money will go to the United 0:22:05.400 --> 0:22:08.520 Way of Humphreys County and help the people who need 0:22:08.600 --> 0:22:11.600 that help the most. So this is one of these 0:22:11.640 --> 0:22:15.280 instances the Titans have been supporting Waverley football. We got 0:22:15.359 --> 0:22:18.840 them new equipment, we're letting them use the stadium. But 0:22:18.920 --> 0:22:21.720 we want to help the whole community and we're hoping 0:22:22.119 --> 0:22:26.240 that this football game calls attention to how much help 0:22:26.320 --> 0:22:31.159 this community actually needs. Again, Tennessee Titans dot com slash 0:22:31.280 --> 0:22:36.040 donate to Waverley. And it's important for multitude of reasons. 0:22:36.560 --> 0:22:40.000 You highlighted all of them. But in a community that 0:22:40.119 --> 0:22:43.119 has decimated is the right word. Because we're talking about 0:22:44.920 --> 0:22:48.120 the Weather Service in Tennessee. It's set and broke by 0:22:48.240 --> 0:22:52.719
