Speaker 1: This is the OTP presented by far Bureau Health Plans.
Speaker 1: Healthcare coverage from far Bureau Health Plans is like an
Speaker 1: extra set of pads when you need them the most.
Speaker 1: They've been protecting Tennessee and since nineteen forty seven. It's
Speaker 1: time to do the OTP. Four Downs with me, Mike
Speaker 1: Keith and with Titans Radio's Rhet Bryan. Rhet, thank you
Speaker 1: so much for joining me for this early week OTP.
Speaker 1: I am glad to do it. It's always a pleasure
Speaker 1: to do the Official Titans Podcast. Here we go, let's
Speaker 1: do it. First down, Rhett, Brian, your play that turned
Speaker 1: the game in the titans thirty eight to thirteen loss
Speaker 1: to Arizona. Okay, so you have Kevin Byard who's just
Speaker 1: picked off Kyler Murray. Couple plays later, Ryan Tannehill hits
Speaker 1: A J. Brown for a thirteen yard touchdown and it's
Speaker 1: an eleven point game at that point. Very next play,
Speaker 1: when it's the Arizona Cardinals possession, it's twelve fifty five
Speaker 1: left in the third quarter. Rodney huts in their center
Speaker 1: fumbles the ball. Kyler Murray recovers that ball at the
Speaker 1: Arizona twenty. He passes to Rondel Moore, who gets scoots
Speaker 1: up the yard up there for twenty nine yards. It's
Speaker 1: an explosive play. So that ends at the Tennessee forty six.
Speaker 1: A few plays later, it's Kyler Murray to Christian Kirk
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, the game's busted back open.
Speaker 1: That's the play to me that changed everything. All right,
Speaker 1: here's mine and it will be obvious to mention Chandler
Speaker 1: Jones forcing the fumball on Ryan Tannehill. And that, of
Speaker 1: course is very early in the ball game. The play
Speaker 1: snapped with eight thirty six to go in the first quarter,
Speaker 1: Titans second and eleven at their own nineteen. Ryan Tannehill
Speaker 1: is sacked by Jones at the ten from minus nine.
Speaker 1: The ball rolls free. Corey Peters recovers, looks like he
Speaker 1: goes into the end zone for the touchdown, but upon
Speaker 1: further review, the league rules that he was down at
Speaker 1: the half yard line. The Chandler Jones play to me
Speaker 1: is not the play that turned the game. The play
Speaker 1: that turned the game is third down and here's why.
Speaker 1: On first down and goal at the one inch line,
Speaker 1: Darrell Daniels the tight end false starts, so the balls
Speaker 1: move back to near the six yard line. Kyler Murray
Speaker 1: incomplete to Green, Kyler Murray incomplete to Harris, and so
Speaker 1: now it's third down and goal at the five. The
Speaker 1: Titans get excellent pressure on Kyler Murray. Landry is all
Speaker 1: over him. He throws the ball in the back of
Speaker 1: the end zone, and there's the Titan killer himself, DeAndre
Speaker 1: Hopkins makes the catch somehow clearly gets two feet down.
Speaker 1: It's a touchdown. If you force a field goal there,
Speaker 1: it's six's nothing. Even after the FuMB it's sixs nothing. Instead,
Speaker 1: Murray beats you with a great play to again Hopkins,
Speaker 1: who I wish would just go away. I don't ever
Speaker 1: want to see. That makes all of us he just
Speaker 1: he's a Titans killer. I think you can make a
Speaker 1: case for both of these things. I certainly think that's
Speaker 1: a place I picked. The play. I picked because the
Speaker 1: Titans were trying to climb back into it. But they
Speaker 1: had a chance, and they had eleven point separation. Right
Speaker 1: there after they got a very timely turnover in a
Speaker 1: very Kevin Byard fashion, they end up making it count
Speaker 1: with a touchdown, and they close the gap a little bit,
Speaker 1: and then here we go with the Kyler Murray Show. Okay,
Speaker 1: because the stadium's rocking. Yes, plenty of time in the
Speaker 1: third quarter. If you get a three and out at
Speaker 1: that point, you can go back to running the ball.
Speaker 1: I let you go first in that right. Look what
Speaker 1: I originally wrote down as my play, screamed to Rode
Speaker 1: more So I had to change on the fly based
Speaker 1: on what you said. My apologies, but that also lets
Speaker 1: me know I was correct at some point. It was
Speaker 1: a huge point. I mean, it just it was. That
Speaker 1: was a pivotal play. Well, I do think the second one,
Speaker 1: in case you picked mine, I had written down the
Speaker 1: touchdown after the forced fumble, because again I think if
Speaker 1: you get off the field right there, they're at your
Speaker 1: half yard line they had originally had a touchdown which
Speaker 1: was overheld. If it's a field goal right there, it's
Speaker 1: six to nothing and you're saying, okay, we can reset.
Speaker 1: Instead it's ten to nothing, and it just feels different.
Speaker 1: And DeAndre Hopkins does his best Spider Man impression again
Speaker 1: and then just tap tap back there. And I mean
Speaker 1: he was millahars away from being out of bounds in
Speaker 1: the back of the end zone, but yet he finds
Speaker 1: the place to put both tap tap down. All right,
Speaker 1: so first down is complete, Let's go to second down.
Speaker 1: Your stat that tells the story of the day, and
Speaker 1: here's mine. I'm gonna go first on this one, so
Speaker 1: you don't take mine. Twenty two rushing attempts for the Titans.
Speaker 1: Twenty two rushing attempts. I think if you picked up
Speaker 1: the game book that I have in my hands right now,
Speaker 1: and you looked at the Titans and you saw twenty
Speaker 1: two rushing attempts, ninety nine out of one hundred times,
Speaker 1: the Titans lose because they want to run the ball
Speaker 1: more than twenty two times. Now the one time, maybe
Speaker 1: you have twenty two carries for two hundred and fifty
Speaker 1: yards because Derrick Henry broke two long runs. Maybe that's
Speaker 1: the case, but on average, a team total of twenty
Speaker 1: two carries does not get it done for the Tennessee
Speaker 1: Titans offense. Your stat that tells the story Yours is
Speaker 1: the yards within the yards. Mine is similar, but more
Speaker 1: out in the open. And that is when you look
Speaker 1: at the game book that you have in your hand
Speaker 1: that also have here, there's a sheet at the last
Speaker 1: part of it there that gives the ten longest plays
Speaker 1: for each team, and it goes to what coach Mack
Speaker 1: preached all week last week leading to this one, is
Speaker 1: you can't give up explosive plays for everyone listening. For
Speaker 1: the ot people listening, that is an offensive play that
Speaker 1: you're defense gives up of twenty yards or greater. Well,
Speaker 1: six of their ten longest plays for the Arizona Cardinals
Speaker 1: were explosive plays. One was a touchdown and then several
Speaker 1: others set up other touchdowns. That's something that has to change,
Speaker 1: all right. So here's another one that was my runner up.
Speaker 1: Cardinals were seven of thirteen on third down. I mean,
Speaker 1: let's we know last year the Titans gave up fifty
Speaker 1: two percent third down conversions. Seven out of thirteen is
Speaker 1: not good enough. You've got to get off the field.
Speaker 1: Especially with a quarterback like Kyler Murray. You can't give
Speaker 1: him extra chances. This week against Russell Wilson, you can't
Speaker 1: give him extra chances. The Titans have to continue to
Speaker 1: improve on third down. It just has to happen, all right.
Speaker 1: So those are the stats that tell the story. Third
Speaker 1: down your area that the Titans must get fixed. And
Speaker 1: I'm telling you right now you have to pick one
Speaker 1: coming off this game. There may be multiple points. You
Speaker 1: have to pick one. What's yours? When you used to
Speaker 1: Amy Wells answering two or three ways, so I get
Speaker 1: six way. Sure, Sure, I'm gonna go with the offensive line.
Speaker 1: The continuity there is a little bit of a thing.
Speaker 1: And I say that with you know, Taylor to one
Speaker 1: comes back from an acl uh. You just got your
Speaker 1: starting center and Ben Jones you're starting right guard and
Speaker 1: Nate Davis back off the COVID nineteen reserve list. The
Speaker 1: first full day you can practice on Wednesday leading into
Speaker 1: a game week. I think that was a factor there.
Speaker 1: Um David Questenberry at right tackle, and I'm not, you know,
Speaker 1: poking anything at him in this It's just there's a
Speaker 1: lot of things there that are unsettled that you know
Speaker 1: how it is with an offensive line. They're one of
Speaker 1: the tightest knit groups in a in a unit, in
Speaker 1: a locker room, and I just felt like they were
Speaker 1: discombobulated yesterday. That's something that has to improve as a
Speaker 1: unit going forward. I agree. And I said this to
Speaker 1: someone from the Cardinals who's been a friend of mine
Speaker 1: for over twenty years. Before the game, he said, what
Speaker 1: are you worried about today, I said, I'm worried about
Speaker 1: the offensive line, and the reason is Taita Lewe hasn't
Speaker 1: practiced a lot. Roger Saffold is thirty three years old.
Speaker 1: He's the one who's practiced the most, but he's thirty
Speaker 1: three years old and he hasn't worked a lot. With Lawan,
Speaker 1: he took some days off as well. Ben Jones misstime
Speaker 1: with injury and COVID and he's over thirty years old.
Speaker 1: Nate Davis misstime with injury and COVID, and Quescent Berry
Speaker 1: hasn't played much right tackle right That group has not
Speaker 1: been together for all of the talk during the course
Speaker 1: of the two weeks leading up about the big four
Speaker 1: not having worked together Jones and Brown and Tannehill and Henry.
Speaker 1: I worried more about the offensive line just from a
Speaker 1: continuity standpoint. And you'll remember it was two years ago
Speaker 1: that it took Lewan and Saffled until after the first
Speaker 1: half of the season until they got in sync, and
Speaker 1: then down the stretch they were great. I think that's
Speaker 1: a position where you have to gel and I think
Speaker 1: them having a game under their belt, them having a
Speaker 1: tape to look at in that way, them having the
Speaker 1: week to get prepared together again. I think that's going
Speaker 1: to help them a lot, and it'll need to against
Speaker 1: this defense, This Seattle defense. I mean, they bring people
Speaker 1: from everywhere. They're doing all kinds of crazy stuff. What
Speaker 1: are you gonna do with Jamal Adams who led their
Speaker 1: team in quarterback sacks slash set a record for a
Speaker 1: defensive back with nine and a half. Right, Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean this is a guy who is he comes out
Speaker 1: of Note got the money because he can do it.
Speaker 1: He can do it, he can make the big plays
Speaker 1: I think. I think the offensive line is a good point.
Speaker 1: I think they're very capable. Yeah, they do it. It's
Speaker 1: just one of those weird things. And I go back
Speaker 1: to those guys. They have meals together, they hang out together,
Speaker 1: they work out together, but they need these extra things
Speaker 1: to all come together. And when they do, that's that's
Speaker 1: when the Derek Henry large rushing performance has happened. You
Speaker 1: get more than twenty two carries in a ball game.
Speaker 1: There are all these great byproducts or dividends out of this.
Speaker 1: If everything is going right with them as unit in
Speaker 1: the first place. I think mine for the Titans is
Speaker 1: the area that they have to get fixed, stays with
Speaker 1: third down defense, and I think it will get better.
Speaker 1: I think Elijah Molden, having had a game under his belt,
Speaker 1: I think will help him greatly. I like the way
Speaker 1: he competed. I thought he got after it. I think
Speaker 1: he played forty one snaps. I thought he got after it.
Speaker 1: He didn't look scared, he challenged. You're gonna see some
Speaker 1: good wide receivers again this week. Lockett is something else.
Speaker 1: DK Medcalf is the beast of beasts. Now, I'll tell
Speaker 1: you in watching the tape of Seattle this morning, I'm
Speaker 1: really impressed with this. Will Disley. Yeah, the tight end.
Speaker 1: Tight end is a real nice player, got a few
Speaker 1: different options and weapons that they use. The rook Eskridge
Speaker 1: from Western Michigan is a player who's got a little,
Speaker 1: you know, a little shaken, a little wiggle in his game.
Speaker 1: Chris Carson can run it. Chris Carson can run it,
Speaker 1: and they can throw it out of the backfield and
Speaker 1: they're not scared to do that. So again, I will
Speaker 1: go back to third down defense as the area where
Speaker 1: the Titans have to continue to make improvement. All right,
Speaker 1: fourth down? One thing that you noticed and that you
Speaker 1: want to share on the OTP presented by Farm Bureau
Speaker 1: Health Plans. Turned to the folks who've been in the
Speaker 1: game since nineteen forty seven. Farm Bureau Health Plans offers
Speaker 1: the great healthcare coverage you need with a price tag
Speaker 1: you can afford. My observation was the passionate plea by
Speaker 1: Derreck Henry, who recently elected captain on offense, trying to
Speaker 1: light a fire on the sidelines and being very passionate
Speaker 1: into the point of being angry in the heat of
Speaker 1: the moment because you know things were not going their way.
Speaker 1: In fact, I went back and pulled the quotes from
Speaker 1: his post games stuff yesday. Yeah, just telling that, you know,
Speaker 1: we gotta play better. Looking lack of daisical, just walking
Speaker 1: around not playing how we play, not playing up to
Speaker 1: the standard we all talk about that we try to
Speaker 1: do each and every day what Coach Rabel talks about,
Speaker 1: and just reminds us that we've got to pick it up,
Speaker 1: got to play better. Those guys we're hitting on all
Speaker 1: cylinders speaking about Arizona on the other side of the field.
Speaker 1: So just trying to pick these guys up and trying
Speaker 1: to be the best leader I can and get things going.
Speaker 1: I noticed that, and just I know that doesn't mean
Speaker 1: a hill of beans after a thirty eight to thirteen loss,
Speaker 1: but those are the things that you notice. Even coach
Speaker 1: Rabel said it to us in postgame on Titan's radio,
Speaker 1: You're going to see who was active and aggressive and
Speaker 1: who maybe was a little lack of daysical. Well, the
Speaker 1: fact of the matter is it's week one, and week
Speaker 1: one is often a tease in the NFL. It oftentimes
Speaker 1: doesn't tell the story because teams have had the entire
Speaker 1: offseason to get ready for this game. Now they have
Speaker 1: a week to get ready for the next game. So
Speaker 1: you start to get into a flow. And the thing
Speaker 1: that you have to take from this is you've got
Speaker 1: to find a way to dig out and just remember
Speaker 1: you can't let this happen again. Now. The Cardinals were
Speaker 1: sort of in a better position. They've had less injuries
Speaker 1: in camp, they've been steadier, They were very confident coming
Speaker 1: in that they could win. Their people were very surprised
Speaker 1: they won like this, But you know, their best players
Speaker 1: have been in camp and available and played, and guess what,
Speaker 1: they went out and played to the level that they
Speaker 1: expected to play. The Titans have been a little different boat,
Speaker 1: but they didn't play well and they know this week
Speaker 1: they've got to show a very different type of effort.
Speaker 1: It's going to be a long week for everybody who
Speaker 1: wears two toned blue. I'm not telling the ot people
Speaker 1: anything they don't know. You know, it's a kick in
Speaker 1: the mouth for you. It's incredible disappointing. Everybody is incredibly
Speaker 1: disappointed in what happened, because you know, you've got the
Speaker 1: high hopes and you're excited, and there's a big crowd
Speaker 1: and we're here and it's a beautiful day, and then
Speaker 1: it is an absolute stinker's just no two ways about it.
Speaker 1: But you have to put it in the perspective that
Speaker 1: it's one of seventeen and you've got to get it
Speaker 1: back somewhere down the line, and you've got to you've
Speaker 1: got to look like you. And that's what the Titans
Speaker 1: have to figure out during the course of this week,
Speaker 1: when all they're gonna hear all week long is negative.
Speaker 1: Particularly going to Seattle. Nobody is going to pick them, nobody,
Speaker 1: everybody is gonna diss them. So fine, you know, it's
Speaker 1: it's gonna be all about the sixty nine players on
Speaker 1: that roster, counting the practice squad, the coaches and everybody
Speaker 1: at St. Thomas Sports Park. And I don't think Mike
Speaker 1: Vrabel necessarily minds that. I think he'll be he and
Speaker 1: John Robinson will be just fine with that. It's all
Speaker 1: about us and we've got to take care of us.
Speaker 1: The organization tends to embrace that role when things like
Speaker 1: this happen anyway, So yeah, I agree with what you're saying.
Speaker 1: You know, it's this is where the twenty four hour rule,
Speaker 1: where you celebrate a win or get rid of a
Speaker 1: loss and purge it out of the system, whether you
Speaker 1: can really do that, and coach Frabel's really good at
Speaker 1: at getting those things going organizationally, that's where this comes
Speaker 1: into play. You diagnose the film today, you get the
Speaker 1: bad taste out of your mouth, you get back on
Speaker 1: the practice field, and you get to work. So my
Speaker 1: thing that I noticed, and I wanted to mention, I
Speaker 1: was coming with a positive two because you kind of
Speaker 1: came with a positive, I'm coming with a positive as well.
Speaker 1: And that positive was on third and ten at the
Speaker 1: Arizona eleven in the second quarter, Ryan Tannehill's passed to
Speaker 1: Nick Westbrook Aquina to get down to the one inch line.
Speaker 1: First of all, you convert third and ten. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: got first and goal, that basically the half yard line
Speaker 1: because of his effort. And that is a tough catch.
Speaker 1: You're gonna get hit. That's making a play when you
Speaker 1: absolutely had to have it. That's giving your team a chance.
Speaker 1: I think the Westbrook Akenas of the world are going
Speaker 1: to continue to take bigger roles because I think there's
Speaker 1: something about that guy Ritt. I think that when I
Speaker 1: watch that guy in Tampa going against the Bucks, when
Speaker 1: I watch him compete against anybody, I think he's gonna
Speaker 1: be a guy that continues to develop as a football
Speaker 1: player and takes on a bigger role with this team.
Speaker 1: And I'm not just talking about this year. I do
Speaker 1: think it'll happen some this year. I think he can play.
Speaker 1: And a guy who can make that catch in an
Speaker 1: NFL game, to me is somebody who can help you
Speaker 1: win down the line and take you to a place
Speaker 1: where it was probably gonna be three and get you
Speaker 1: to a place where it ended six. And you know
Speaker 1: this too, it may not be three because your kicking
Speaker 1: situation is right, is really really well. When I got
Speaker 1: home last night, my wife's first question was about the kicker.
Speaker 1: What is that? I said, Well, you have to understand
Speaker 1: something for Michael Badgeley. He's never worked with Morgan Cox,
Speaker 1: He's never worked with Brett Kerr. They haven't worked with him. Man,
Speaker 1: that is a hard thing. That is a hard thing
Speaker 1: to walk into that situation. You're not used to the
Speaker 1: steps or the snap count. He flew in from the
Speaker 1: West Coast from he's a former charger who and I
Speaker 1: mean this was Jim White noticed it in practice on
Speaker 1: Friday when Sam Ficken got hurt. I mean, this happened
Speaker 1: at twelve o'clock on Friday, and by one o'clock they're
Speaker 1: having to figure out, how are we going to get
Speaker 1: a kicker in here? Our kicker who's been really good.
Speaker 1: We feel great about our kicker finally, and and now
Speaker 1: Sam Ficken is on IR with groin injury and you're
Speaker 1: having to bring in Michael Badgeley. And in fairness to
Speaker 1: Michael Badgeley, that is a difficult situation to be in,
Speaker 1: which means the Westbrook Akeena play is a big deal
Speaker 1: because even a thirty yard field goal at that moment
Speaker 1: isn't a given. And how destructive is it for your confidence?
Speaker 1: If you don't get points on that drive. The play
Speaker 1: Westbrook Akeena made, the play Bayard made, the two plays
Speaker 1: that Tannehill and Brown made, those are the types of
Speaker 1: plays that the Titans have to have more of to win.
Speaker 1: Those were the plays that gave them a chance at
Speaker 1: certain moments even to climb back in. But you know,
Speaker 1: the fact the matter is, if you stop and think
Speaker 1: about the plays that Kyler Murray made, that DeAndre Hopkins made,
Speaker 1: that Chandler Jones obviously made, that Christian Kirk made with
Speaker 1: the two catches that he made for touchdowns, Arizona made
Speaker 1: it happen. Man, They won the one on one battle.
Speaker 1: They absolutely won. If the Titans are gonna win in Seattle,
Speaker 1: knowing they're going against a guy Russell Wilson who's gonna
Speaker 1: make four or five of those plays, we know he is,
Speaker 1: the Titans have to have more of the Westbrook aquina,
Speaker 1: A J. Brown, Kevin Byard type, Jeffrey Simmons type plays
Speaker 1: and the Westbrook aquina. I'm glad you brought that as
Speaker 1: an example in this with fourth down question, because quite frankly,
Speaker 1: this is what every football team strives for and what
Speaker 1: they need is that fringe guy who makes an unexpected
Speaker 1: play when his numbers called, and that's exactly what Westbrook
Speaker 1: Akina did yesterday. I think he's gonna do it. And
Speaker 1: he's a big physical receiver, physical receiver, he sure is.
Speaker 1: All right. We want to mention something else before this
Speaker 1: edition of the OTP leaves us. And you've probably heard
Speaker 1: this either on Titans Radio or the team, but this
Speaker 1: Thursday night at Nissan Stadium, the Tennessee Titans are allowing
Speaker 1: Waverley Central High School, better known as the Waverley Tigers,
Speaker 1: to play host Region six three a rival white House,
Speaker 1: the White House Blue Devils. Seven o'clock kickoff, and it
Speaker 1: is gonna be really exciting. Think about those boys are
Speaker 1: gonna play on an NFL field, yes on a Thursday night,
Speaker 1: And if you're a Titans fan, I'm playing on one
Speaker 1: of those teams, that's like double whammy. It's really good.
Speaker 1: It's fantastic. Titans Radio is going to broadcast the game
Speaker 1: on our flagship station one oh four to five the Zone.
Speaker 1: We talked about it as a group and it had
Speaker 1: been thrown out, would you guys like to do it?
Speaker 1: Everybody on our team said, we're in. So it's Rhetts
Speaker 1: and me and Coach Mack and Amy Wells and Brad
Speaker 1: Willis and Philip Noel and Lucas Panzeca and our entire
Speaker 1: team at the studio, everybody is pitching in. I want
Speaker 1: to thank Cumulus Nashville for letting us broadcast from six
Speaker 1: to ten, because I think this is really going to
Speaker 1: be a special night. It's special for us to get
Speaker 1: to do it. The biggest reason we're doing it is
Speaker 1: not just because we love high school football, which we do,
Speaker 1: and not just because the games at Nissan Stadium, which
Speaker 1: is cool. But we're trying to call attention to how
Speaker 1: much help our friends in Humphries County, Waverley, McEwan, Hurricane Mills,
Speaker 1: how much help they need. They need millions of dollars
Speaker 1: worth of help. The rains on August the twenty first
Speaker 1: absolutely decimated that community. They are our friends, they are
Speaker 1: our neighbors. Rhet and I have both been there on caravans.
Speaker 1: We have a radio station there, We have friends there.
Speaker 1: These are good folks who need our help. And so
Speaker 1: what we're asking you to do to support Waverley, and
Speaker 1: what we're trying to call attention to this week is
Speaker 1: donate money to the United Way of Humphries County via
Speaker 1: this u r L and that is Tennessee Titans dot
Speaker 1: com slash donate to Waverley. Tennessee Titans dot com slash
Speaker 1: donate to Waverley. That money will go to the United
Speaker 1: Way of Humphreys County and help the people who need
Speaker 1: that help the most. So this is one of these
Speaker 1: instances the Titans have been supporting Waverley football. We got
Speaker 1: them new equipment, we're letting them use the stadium. But
Speaker 1: we want to help the whole community and we're hoping
Speaker 1: that this football game calls attention to how much help
Speaker 1: this community actually needs. Again, Tennessee Titans dot com slash
Speaker 1: donate to Waverley. And it's important for multitude of reasons.
Speaker 1: You highlighted all of them. But in a community that
Speaker 1: has decimated is the right word. Because we're talking about
Speaker 1: the Weather Service in Tennessee. It's set and broke by
Speaker 1: a long stretch the precipitation in a single twenty four
Speaker 1: hour day. This happened in a period of five or
Speaker 1: six hours, seventeen inches of rain in a lot of places,
Speaker 1: no place for water to go because it's just unimaginable
Speaker 1: and the loss of life, the loss of property. But
Speaker 1: the bright spite out of all of this is the
Speaker 1: Waverley Tigers. They lost their field, they lost their field house,
Speaker 1: they lost their gear. They're gonna play at an NFL
Speaker 1: stadium on Thursday night. They're gonna play in front of
Speaker 1: people who are gonna come watch them, and they're gonna
Speaker 1: play an important game against white House. But this team,
Speaker 1: the Waverley Tigers, despite all this, is three and ozero
Speaker 1: and they're having a great season. White House is three
Speaker 1: and one, yes, and it's a heck of a matchup.
Speaker 1: White House has a great history, and this is just
Speaker 1: one of those instances where high school football shines a
Speaker 1: light on community. And I always, I will always believe,
Speaker 1: as hokey and as corny as that is, I will
Speaker 1: always believe that is the best thing about high school football.
Speaker 1: High school football is the purest form of the sport. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it Friday nights. There's a reason that it happens first,
Speaker 1: It sets up before you watch college on Saturday and
Speaker 1: before you go to a Titans game on Monday. It's
Speaker 1: the purest form of this thing. But yeah, we want
Speaker 1: for one night for Titans Radio to become Tigers Radio
Speaker 1: as Mike Keith, Dave McInnis and our crew will call
Speaker 1: this game, the Waverley Tigers against the white House Blue
Speaker 1: Devils Thursday night this week at Nissan Stadium. It will
Speaker 1: be a great, great night and a lot of fun,
Speaker 1: but for an unbebelievably just devastated community for a great
Speaker 1: cause in this and we hope that you will join
Speaker 1: us in trying to help our friends and neighbors in
Speaker 1: Humphreys County. We're on the air on one oh four
Speaker 1: five the Zone at six with Tigers countdown. Yes, but
Speaker 1: again and once the game starts, we'll be calling this
Speaker 1: right down the middle. We'll be for White House as
Speaker 1: much as we'll be for Waverley. We'll be rooting for
Speaker 1: all the boys to have a great night and to
Speaker 1: have great memories of this experience. We're neutral in terms
Speaker 1: of the game, in terms of what we're trying to do. However,
Speaker 1: we're helping Waverley and Humphrey County every way that we can. Again,
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans dot Com slash donate to Waverley. Right, Brian,
