1
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:13,040
Speaker 1: This is the OTP four D presented by Farm Bureau

2
00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 1: Health Plans turned to the folks who've been in the

3
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:18,439
Speaker 1: game since nineteen forty seven. Farm Bureau Health Plans offers

Speaker 1: the great healthcare coverage you need with a price tag

5
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:26,160
Speaker 1: you can afford. With Titans Radio's Reet Brian and Amy Wells,

6
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:29,320
Speaker 1: I'm Mike Keith. Titans lose to the Jets on Sunday

7
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:33,240
Speaker 1: in overtime twenty seven, twenty four. Not gonna start with

8
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:36,239
Speaker 1: a lot of comments because I think most of it

9
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:39,200
Speaker 1: speaks for itself in the eyes of Titans fans. Let's

10
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 1: go right to first down. Ret Brian, your play that

11
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 1: turned the game, Mike, I thought it was gonna be

12
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 1: with about five ten left in overtime when the Jets

13
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 1: are deep third and goal at the one yard line

14
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 1: and Denico Autry makes a fantastic olpen field tackle on

15
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 1: a young athletic quarterback in Zach Wilson, and that was,

16
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 1: you know, the field right there, and the Titans had

17
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 1: a chance. But I guess in hindsight, I look back

18
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:08,039
Speaker 1: and say it was losing the toss in overtime. Tales

19
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:11,399
Speaker 1: never fails, and unfortunately this time it failed. I think

20
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 1: it was in the third quarter. So much of this

21
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 1: game was about momentum, and when Corey Davis caught that

22
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 1: fifty three yard touchdown to put the Jets up a

23
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 1: full seven points over the Tennessee Titans, you felt the

24
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 1: air kind of go out of the stadium on the

25
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans sideline. It showed that there was a shift,

26
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 1: There was a shift in that game, and everything was

27
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:36,680
Speaker 1: going right for the Jets and not a lot was

28
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: going right for the Titans. And I think that a

29
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: momentum shift that intense was hard for the Titans to overcome.

30
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 1: Mine came in the second quarter ten oh eight to go, Jets,

31
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 1: third and ten at their own twenty five yard line.

32
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 1: Zach Wilson, who to that point was two of seven

33
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 1: passing with an interception, hits Corey Davis on third and

34
00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 1: ten for thirteen yards. Not only do they get first

35
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 1: down there, and they get Wilson going, Corey Davis fumbled

36
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: and the ball bounced right up to him to where

37
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: he could just fall on it. Recovered his own fumble,

38
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,799
Speaker 1: Jets get a first down, go on to complete an

39
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 1: eleven play seventy five yard drive and get a score.

40
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,359
Speaker 1: The rest of the way. Zach Wilson was nineteen of

41
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 1: twenty seven passing and looked like a totally different player.

42
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: It was as if the Titans let them off the hook.

43
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,119
Speaker 1: Even though it was nine to nothing, and even though

44
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 1: the Titans had failed to score in the red zone,

45
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:34,959
Speaker 1: the Jets had shown nothing on offense. You have him

46
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 1: third and ten. You've been doing such a good job

47
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 1: with third down defense. And again, you don't get everyone.

48
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:45,799
Speaker 1: Nobody says that you get everyone, but bottom line, you're

49
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: in a situation right there where you're gonna make him

50
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:50,800
Speaker 1: punt at nine to nothing and you're gonna keep the

51
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,959
Speaker 1: kid going the wrong way instead. He got some momentum

52
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:58,080
Speaker 1: at that moment. And then also in that same moment,

53
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,399
Speaker 1: we saw some of the luck that the Jets would

54
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 1: have on this day. And that's part of it, you know,

55
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 1: that's part of getting your first win. They fumbled three

56
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 1: times in the ball game, three fumbles in the ball gip.

57
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 1: They had a fumble on a kickoff Dame Cruikshank caused

58
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,839
Speaker 1: bounced forward five yards right to a Jets player. Zach

59
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 1: Wilson had a snap fumble, looked like he was gonna

60
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: kick it. He reached down to grab it. Not only

61
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 1: does he grab it cleanly and have time to throw it,

62
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,679
Speaker 1: he completes a twenty nine yard pass. It is your

63
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: day win that happens. And so combine that with everything.

64
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 1: The Jets had some luck, but they took advantage of

65
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: that luck all day long. All right, let's move to

66
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 1: second down. Rhett Brian, your stat that tells the story.

67
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 1: It's with Ryan Tannehill's passing numbers thirty of forty nine

68
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 1: forty nine attempts, thirty completions to ninety eight for a touchdown.

69
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: You don't usually see those numbers that too far apart

70
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: since he's been the starter here for the Tennessee Titans.

71
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 1: And it speaks to me on the level of couple

72
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 1: things the Wolves at the door with the Jets pass

73
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: rush and you know, a drop here and there, and

74
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 1: some penalties in some places, but certainly the pass rush

75
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 1: in this where you know seven quarterback sacks ended up

76
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 1: being one of the lines at the bottom of the page. Well,

77
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 1: that's a good point too, because the low yards per

78
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 1: attempt goes to the pass rush too. He had to

79
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: dump the ball out a lot to be able to

80
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 1: get yardage, to not take even more sacks because they

81
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:29,599
Speaker 1: had heat the entire game. So I think that's a

82
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 1: great point, aby Els. I think it's the Titans red

83
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,799
Speaker 1: zone efficiency or lack thereof. Two of the five times

84
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:37,279
Speaker 1: they were in the red zone they were able to

85
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 1: make something happen. That's forty percent of the time. You

86
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,479
Speaker 1: have to have to have to get points on the

87
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,280
Speaker 1: board when you are that close to the goal line,

88
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 1: and that is part of the reason why the Titans

89
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 1: weren't able to get the separation from the Jets that

90
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,599
Speaker 1: they needed. They weren't scoring enough points. So I think

91
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 1: that that is one of the stats that tell the

92
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 1: story for me. All right, So one that you pointed

93
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,239
Speaker 1: out to me on the playing on the way home,

94
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna steal yours. Ten longest plays of the game.

95
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,119
Speaker 1: The Titans longest play of the game was twenty seven

96
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,839
Speaker 1: yards the first quarter, the Jeremy McNichols screen Jeremy mcnichol's

97
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: screen pass on third and twenty one. They also had

98
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 1: a twenty three yard screen pass to Jeremy McNichols in

99
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,160
Speaker 1: the ball game as well. Okay, so those were the

100
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 1: two longest Titans plays. The Jets had five plays longer

101
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,720
Speaker 1: than the Titans longest play. They had a twenty nine

102
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: yard completion, they had a twenty nine yard completion, they

103
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 1: had a thirty yard completion, they had a fifty three

104
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,159
Speaker 1: yard touchdown to Corey Davis, and they had a fifty

105
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: four yard long pass to Keelan Cole which set up

106
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:45,280
Speaker 1: a score in a situation. So you combine twenty nine,

107
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,719
Speaker 1: twenty nine, thirty, fifty three, fifty four along with a

108
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:53,279
Speaker 1: forty three yard pass interference penalty, and the Jets certainly

109
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,720
Speaker 1: won the battle of chunk plays in this game. Nothing

110
00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 1: was easy for the Titans offense all day long, in

111
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 1: spite of the fact that they gained four hundred thirty yards.

112
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,040
Speaker 1: My runner up, which I'm just going to throw out

113
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 1: because I have a chance, the Titans were five of

114
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 1: nineteen on third down. And this is a team that,

115
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 1: since Tannehill has taken over as the quarterback, has been

116
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:20,280
Speaker 1: anywhere from forty five to fifty percent consistently on third

117
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 1: down conversions. To be five of nineteen tells you how

118
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 1: many long yardage situations and how many desperate situations they

119
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: were in because they just were not able to avoid

120
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: bad plays during the course of the ball game. Again,

121
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:41,040
Speaker 1: everything was hard for the Titans, and the Jets made

122
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 1: big plays. We moved to third down. Amy's gonna go first.

123
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,719
Speaker 1: Here your area that the Titans have to get fixed

124
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: before they go to Jacksonville this weekend. It's got to

125
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 1: be sacks. Ryan Tannehill cannot cannot, cannot get sacked seven

126
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 1: times in a football game. He just can't. You need

127
00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: him to do too many things, and it's so dangerous

128
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,600
Speaker 1: for him to be hit that many times. And you

129
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,159
Speaker 1: alluded to it, Mike. I mean, that's the obvious one, Amy,

130
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 1: that's the correct answer. But you alluded to it. Just

131
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 1: a moment ago. You had a forty three yard DPI,

132
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,679
Speaker 1: a defensive pass interference penalty that's set up a score

133
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,679
Speaker 1: in that thing. And you had what was the final

134
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 1: stat line on on penalties eight for ninety eight. Yeah,

135
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: and you got some offensive line penalties in there. That

136
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 1: stuff has got to get cleaned up. At ninety three

137
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 1: offensive plays, four hundred and thirty yards, the Titans averaged

138
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 1: four six per play. I mean, that's that's not where

139
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 1: they have been. That's not where this offense has been smoking.

140
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 1: And let's let's be honest. You're without some parts. I mean,

141
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 1: we get it. No A J. Brown who's gonna make

142
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 1: a big play. No Julio Jones who's gonna make a

143
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 1: big play? You get it. I mean, you understand where

144
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 1: you're at. But at the same time, it doesn't matter,

145
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 1: not gonna matter this weekend if they can't play. It's

146
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 1: all about who you got and getting it done and

147
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 1: finding a way to win. And the Titans have to

148
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 1: be better in the red zone, you know, the three

149
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: red zone trips to come up with field goals, had

150
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 1: another trip to the twenty yard line where they got

151
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 1: turned away on fourth down later in the ball game.

152
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: So I mean they had some decent possessions. Mentioned the

153
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 1: third down to issues kind of jumping out, but I

154
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 1: think overall for the Titans on defense, it's giving up

155
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 1: big plays. You know, that's the area too, because you're

156
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 1: going to see Trevor Lawrence this weekend. And he's a

157
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 1: guy who has a better arm than the rookie quarterback

158
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 1: we saw at the Meadowlands. He can make things happen,

159
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 1: and he loves to go downtown and we'll go downtown

160
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 1: at different Last Thursday night, as a prime example, it

161
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 1: was like a forty eight yard that's out of by School.

162
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 1: I mean, it was a beautiful throw. Well, they can

163
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 1: make things happen, and you know they have people who

164
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 1: can break tackles too. They have a good running back

165
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 1: who can make some things happen. They do some things

166
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 1: in the screen game. The Titans cannot allow a team

167
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 1: with a young quarterback can make big plays that gets

168
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 1: him off the hook. To me, that's what stands out

169
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 1: about what the Titans have to get improved before going

170
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 1: to Jacksonville. Fourth Down, Rhett Bryant, one thing you noticed

171
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 1: and wanted to share, Well, you know, there's so many

172
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 1: things that went sideways that you can point out in this,

173
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 1: but the thing that I noticed is something that was

174
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 1: a kind of the cautionary tale in all of this,

175
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 1: is that I started to notice that New York Jets

176
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 1: crowd get into it. As the team got a pulse

177
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 1: from these things that you've just described, with fumbles of

178
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 1: their own that they recovered and penalties that set up

179
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 1: plays and just you know, explosive plays, the Titans defense

180
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 1: gave up and all of a sudden, it guy worked

181
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 1: up into a frenzy. It's like they realized, we have

182
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:49,720
Speaker 1: a chance to see our first win for our rookie

183
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 1: head coach, for our rookie quarterback, and a team that

184
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,440
Speaker 1: didn't pick to win hardly anything this year. That's not

185
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 1: obviously the way we wanted it to go. But you

186
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,320
Speaker 1: can hear those things build you and I might haven't

187
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 1: done cod nearly five hundred of these, and sometimes it

188
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 1: becomes that frenzy that builds up into a boil. Well,

189
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 1: it's a great point. You gave oxygen to the fire.

190
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,680
Speaker 1: That's what it felt like when you gave up the

191
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 1: long pass, the shankt punt, the different things that the

192
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 1: Titans allowed to happen, and then the penalties or the

193
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 1: lack of execution on their own end. Rhett, you said

194
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:29,959
Speaker 1: it just right. They gave oxygen to the Jets fire

195
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 1: and the crowd got into it, and it'll be much

196
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 1: the same situation in Jacksonville. Amy, you know Jacksonville, Well,

197
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 1: you understand what's going on down there. They have Urban Meyer,

198
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:44,680
Speaker 1: they have Trevor Lawrence. They're owing four, but they're still

199
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,679
Speaker 1: excited about the team. Coming off of the Thursday night

200
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 1: game with Cincinnati where they played well. They would love

201
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 1: to drop the Titans to two and three and see

202
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 1: their first win. So I think rhet makes the point.

203
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 1: The Titans have to find ways not to give the

204
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 1: Jackson and Bill fire oxygen. Right, They've got to stop

205
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:04,560
Speaker 1: the bleeding, and they've got a week to do it.

206
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 1: Right now. There's a lot of things that are not

207
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 1: going well for this Tennessee Titans team. There's a lot

208
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 1: of injuries, there's a lot of mistakes to clean up.

209
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 1: This is gonna be a busy week. It's going to

210
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,679
Speaker 1: be a lot of hard work. But going to Jacksonville

211
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: a place where we know anything as possible down there,

212
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 1: it's a whole different ballgame when you're playing the Jags.

213
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 1: The Titans and the Jags have that history, and it's

214
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 1: another one of those games where you can kind of

215
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 1: throw some stuff out the window. You never know what

216
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 1: you're going to get down there. And Jacksonville's close. We

217
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 1: saw on that Thursday night game against the Bengals they

218
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 1: are a team that's starting to figure some things out,

219
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 1: and you're absolutely right, Mike, they would love to get

220
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:43,200
Speaker 1: their first win against the Tennessee Titans. So this is

221
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 1: this is an urgent thing that needs to be taken

222
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 1: care of because the Titans can't go into Jacksonville making

223
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 1: some of the same mistakes that they made at the Meadowlands,

224
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 1: because you're one hundred percent right, it'll give oxygen to

225
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 1: their fire, all right, So what did you notice at

226
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 1: the meadow Lands that you wanted to share? I have

227
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:07,200
Speaker 1: a question for my sharing. I am confused about why

228
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:11,680
Speaker 1: the officials were so confused in the third quarter when

229
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 1: Roger Saffold had the illegal touch penalty. While I understand

230
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 1: that he did not do the right thing in that situation,

231
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 1: it appeared that Ryan Tannehill was trying to throw the

232
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 1: ball away correct Roger catches it, which is not his job, no,

233
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 1: but he was excited to do it right, and I

234
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 1: mean great hands. It was beautiful catch. It was very nice.

235
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 1: But I'm I'm confused about why that caught the officials

236
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:40,319
Speaker 1: so off guards they thought it was in that situation,

237
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 1: their feeling was that it was loss of down, so

238
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,680
Speaker 1: they weren't sure of the proper penalty to assign to

239
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 1: the crime. Essentially, yeah, it's a five yard penalty, but

240
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 1: their feeling was it was loss of down and they

241
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,959
Speaker 1: could not get that across properly. And I think there

242
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 1: was some confusion initially as to whether Robert Sala accepted

243
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:02,440
Speaker 1: the penalty or decline correct correct. Yes, that kind of

244
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:04,960
Speaker 1: set up the confusion. If I saw it the way

245
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 1: you guys did, Yeah, there was there was confusion on

246
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 1: their end about what the rule was. Well, I can

247
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 1: also tell you there was some confusion on the sideline

248
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 1: as to why everybody else was confused, So everybody in

249
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 1: the stadium was equally confused. I feel a little bit

250
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 1: better now. It did. It was not a good look

251
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,080
Speaker 1: for the officials. It was not great. You're supposed to

252
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 1: know the rules if you're the officials, right, and I

253
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 1: understand everybody makes mistakes, but that's not good. And the

254
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 1: thing is you have somebody from upstairs who's in their ear,

255
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 1: who can tell them what that is. And I mean,

256
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 1: come on, let's do a little too long. Yeah, let's

257
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 1: let's do better. Well, and we talk about getting New

258
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:44,960
Speaker 1: York involved. We were in New York, like, it's not

259
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:48,679
Speaker 1: a long distance call, all right. So the thing that

260
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 1: I noticed and wanted to share it regards the injuries.

261
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 1: REP mentioned. We've been around for a little while and

262
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 1: we've seen some injury breakouts at different points. One of

263
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:02,080
Speaker 1: the most hyped type teams ever was the two thousand

264
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 1: and one Tennessee Titans team coming off back to back

265
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 1: thirteen win seasons. That team ended up having a disappointing year,

266
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 1: largely because they were hit with injuries left and right,

267
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:17,079
Speaker 1: to the point that they were signing guys on Tuesday

268
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 1: and having to play them on Sunday, which happened to

269
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 1: this Titans team, the two thousand and four Titans. The

270
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 1: late Floyd Reese held that team together one more year

271
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 1: after they had had the great five year run, and

272
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 1: they were devastated with injuries. We went to Jacksonville to

273
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 1: play a game. At one point they had a pretty

274
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 1: good team and the guy who was scheduled to start

275
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 1: at safety, Scott mcgarahan, got hurt in warmups and he

276
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:46,400
Speaker 1: was like the fourth safety. So they're running people in

277
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 1: and out. As a matter of fact, they ran a

278
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 1: guy on at the end and he ran into a

279
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 1: pass and intercepted it to win the game for the Titans,

280
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 1: one of the most unlikely wins they've ever had because

281
00:14:57,720 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 1: we didn't even know most of the guys that were

282
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 1: play for the team. It's a little scary at this

283
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 1: moment because some of that feels that way. It's not

284
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 1: an excuse to say that this team has a lot

285
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 1: of injuries. What you said earlier is right, you have

286
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 1: to find a way to overcome it. But they're in

287
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 1: a world a hurt in terms of how banged up

288
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 1: they are, and they're gonna have to figure out some things.

289
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 1: We've seen it at different points since in twenty eighteen

290
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 1: for the Houston game, Mike Vrabel went through some of this.

291
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 1: We saw it in two and thirteen in twenty fourteen

292
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 1: at different points. But I mean, this is a tough

293
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 1: thing to overcome because as we record this today, they

294
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 1: don't know who they're gonna have on Sunday, and they

295
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 1: may not even know on Thursday who all they're gonna have.

296
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 1: They're gonna hope to get a couple guys back, but

297
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 1: they're not gonna know for sure. This is a big,

298
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 1: big challenge for this staff because this is highly unusual

299
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 1: to have this situation in October. Yeah, this early in

300
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 1: the season is what makes it a little more disconcerting,

301
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 1: I guess because you're going up against some other teams

302
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 1: that just haven't been hit by this yet. You haven't

303
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 1: reached the point where people are experiencing the general wear

304
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 1: and tear of a season. Teams are still relatively healthy

305
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 1: and the Titans are just fighting through a lot right now.

306
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 1: Absolutely not an excuse, but it is the reality of

307
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 1: what's going on. Well, it's not an excuse, but it's

308
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 1: a fact towards the point of if you're having trouble

309
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:24,960
