1 00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:13,320 Speaker 1: This is the OTP Four Downs, brought to you by 2 00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:16,440 Speaker 1: Farm Bureau Health Plans. Healthcare coverage from Farm Bureau Health Plans. 3 00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:18,759 Speaker 1: It's like an extra set of pads when you need 4 00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:21,600 Speaker 1: them the most. They've been protecting Tennessee and since nineteen 5 00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:25,800 Speaker 1: forty seven. Back from Seattle, Washington in the Great Northwest 6 00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:30,280 Speaker 1: with Rhet, Brian and Amy Wells. Welcome to four Downs. 7 00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:32,400 Speaker 1: Thanks Mike, good to be here. It's good to have 8 00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:34,840 Speaker 1: you with us. I am Mike Keith, and so let's 9 00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:38,720 Speaker 1: jump right in. First down. Amy Wells, we'll let you 10 00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:43,080 Speaker 1: go first. Your play that turned the Titans thirty three 11 00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:46,440 Speaker 1: to thirty overtime victory over Seattle. It has to be 12 00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:49,479 Speaker 1: that Derrick Henry sixty yard touchdown run that brought the 13 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:52,840 Speaker 1: Titans within seven. It was a forty nine second drive 14 00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:56,320 Speaker 1: and it totally breathed life back into the Titans offense. 15 00:00:56,680 --> 00:01:00,639 Speaker 1: It kept this team in the game. Rhet. For me, 16 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:05,240 Speaker 1: it was actually two plays before that, so the Titans 17 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:09,440 Speaker 1: had a busted coverage on defense. Russell Wilson throws a 18 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:13,520 Speaker 1: deep left to Freddie Swain sixty eight yards touchdown, but 19 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:18,600 Speaker 1: Jason Myers pat no good. That was a sign to 20 00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 1: me that if things go right, you could get back 21 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,920 Speaker 1: into this thing, especially point differential wise, and then it 22 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 1: leads to your play Amy with the sixty yard run 23 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 1: by Derek and all of a sudden you got a 24 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:31,319 Speaker 1: ball game. Well that's a great point because that means 25 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:34,640 Speaker 1: the Titans didn't need a two point conversion at the end. 26 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,840 Speaker 1: They could just kick the extra point. I'm going in 27 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:41,040 Speaker 1: overtime with Hola Daney and the sack he comes in 28 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,839 Speaker 1: on third and ten. We can debate all day whether 29 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,039 Speaker 1: or not it was a safety. It really doesn't matter 30 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,600 Speaker 1: because the Titans going to win the ball game. But 31 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 1: by sacking Russell Wilson at the one, it meant Dixon, 32 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:55,080 Speaker 1: the Seattle punter, had to stand nine and three quarters 33 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 1: yards deep in the end zone. He could get nothing 34 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,360 Speaker 1: on the kick. Chester Rogers turns it to the thirty nine, 35 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 1: and then the Titans have to make no effort at 36 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 1: all to run anything outlandish to get in field goal 37 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 1: range for the game winning thirty six yarder. If let's 38 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:15,120 Speaker 1: just say that's an incomplete pass on third down and 39 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 1: you're not punning from the very back of your end zone, 40 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,120 Speaker 1: then you've got a chance to hit a fifty yard kick, 41 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,680 Speaker 1: and then the Titans actually have to run their full 42 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 1: complement of offense, which means there could be a sack 43 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 1: or an interception or whatever. Instead, because of a dainty sack, 44 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:31,639 Speaker 1: all they had to do is turn and hand it 45 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,680 Speaker 1: to Derrick Henry. He ends up picking up twenty one 46 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,800 Speaker 1: total yards and it's a thirty six yard field goal, 47 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 1: which is a big deal because with the wind at 48 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 1: that end of the field, it's helpful that it wasn't 49 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 1: further out. The forty four yarder ends up drifting, he 50 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 1: said it. Randy Bullock made it clear. The forty four yarder. 51 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 1: He thought he hit it well, but it drifted and 52 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,400 Speaker 1: goes outside the upright on the right side. The thirty 53 00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 1: six yarder, he's able to control and hit it basically 54 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 1: right down the middle. So to me, it's Ola A. Daney, 55 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 1: whose name I just like to say too. It is nice. 56 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 1: You know what's interesting about Olda A. Dany is this 57 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,360 Speaker 1: is a guy who is still just twenty three years old. 58 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 1: He's a very young player. Graduated high school and he 59 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 1: was sixteen. They like him for this situational type of rush. 60 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 1: We introduced him on Titan's radio when he came in 61 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 1: I made the point I said, here comes Ola A. 62 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,919 Speaker 1: Daney and he comes through with the sack. He's got 63 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:30,799 Speaker 1: some explosion. He has that James Harrison body. Of course 64 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 1: he played for the Steelers, but he's barely six feet tall, 65 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 1: he's about two hundred and fifty pounds, and he's got 66 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 1: explosion ratt He has a motor. We saw it yesterday 67 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 1: and his two plays. The stat sheet doesn't lie. And yeah, 68 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:51,280 Speaker 1: I really really like him. As an addition, now I don't. 69 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 1: I didn't like him as much as Denico Autry, who 70 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,760 Speaker 1: made a big difference in that ball game yesterday as well. 71 00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 1: But Ola Daney I think has a future at the 72 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 1: Titans beyond twenty twenty one for sure. Yeah, did he 73 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 1: go Autry with a second and a half of the 74 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 1: ball game. Good point on that second down, Rehet Bryan, 75 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 1: Your stat that tells the story. It's third down for 76 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 1: the defense. They held the Seahawks four of twelve thirty 77 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 1: three percent on third down. That's the best third down 78 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 1: in a game I can remember in a while. I 79 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 1: haven't looked to see how far back that goes, but 80 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 1: we know they gave up of what fifty one fifty 81 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,360 Speaker 1: two percent as a whole. Last year they gave a 82 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 1: fifty four percent in Week one against the Cardinals at 83 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 1: Nissan Stadium and did much better in this this week. 84 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 1: I like that that is there because that's an ear 85 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:42,480 Speaker 1: mark to see where you could possibly get a win, 86 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 1: and certainly when you look at all of it stacked 87 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 1: and be like, okay, yep, there's a win. I like that. 88 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 1: Retz was third downs because mine was first downs. The 89 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans in the first half had nine total first downs, 90 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:59,720 Speaker 1: just nine and zero rushing first downs, not a single one. 91 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,919 Speaker 1: They had seven passing first downs and then two as 92 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 1: a result of Seahawks penalties. But in the second half, 93 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,600 Speaker 1: when things started to get spicy and interesting, the Tennessee 94 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:12,280 Speaker 1: Titans had twenty two first downs. Ten of those were 95 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 1: rushing first downs, nine were passing, three were as a 96 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,880 Speaker 1: result of Seahawks penalties. And as we all know, having 97 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,840 Speaker 1: first downs means sustained drives, and sustained drives means more 98 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,600 Speaker 1: chances to score points. Well, you've got it, and so 99 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 1: you lead directly into mine, which is time of possession, 100 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 1: which is crazy. Yes, the Seahawks who love to control 101 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:36,040 Speaker 1: the football, that's the thing that they do time of possession. 102 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 1: They lost to the Titans by nineteen minutes and fifty 103 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 1: one seconds, forty two thirty three to twenty two forty two. 104 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:50,279 Speaker 1: That's nuts. The Titans had eighty three plays to the 105 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 1: Seahawks fifty two eighty three plays. I mean, that's fantastic. 106 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,480 Speaker 1: That helps your offense. That means you're getting Derek Henry involved. 107 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 1: The had forty rushes. They also had forty passes. There's 108 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 1: your ballance. But they had chances and they kept their 109 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 1: defense fresh. When you look at the Seahawks in the 110 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 1: second half and overtime, if you take out the busted 111 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 1: coverage on the past to Freddie Swain which was sixty 112 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 1: eight yards, Freddie Swayne is able to score on that plate. 113 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,599 Speaker 1: It's obviously bad. We know it. Let's write it off. 114 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 1: Less than a hundred yards allowed by the defense, in 115 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,279 Speaker 1: large part because they didn't have to be out there 116 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:32,279 Speaker 1: that much. So time of possession oftentimes a stat that 117 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,080 Speaker 1: can be misleading. In this case, when you win it 118 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 1: by nearly twenty minutes, huge Undoubtedly third down your area 119 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 1: that the Titans have to get fixed, Amy Wells, you 120 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 1: go first. The offensive line needs to get healthy and 121 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 1: I know that's a hard thing to fix, but they're 122 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 1: a bunch of Civil War soldiers right now. Everybody's bandaged 123 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,920 Speaker 1: and held together with scotch tape in a prayer. Part 124 00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,359 Speaker 1: of it's the position, but this is a long season. 125 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 1: We've got to get some healthy guys up there so 126 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 1: they can start jelling together and really becoming a consistent 127 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 1: offensive line unit. Right for me, it's the explosive plays 128 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 1: that you give up on defense. They gave up quite 129 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 1: a few. In fact, five of the seahawks ten longest 130 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 1: plays were ex plays. But you have a fifty one 131 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 1: yard or to Tyler Lockett, a sixty three yarder that's 132 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,800 Speaker 1: a touchdown, and then the sixty eight yarder to Freddie Swain. 133 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 1: In this thing, you take away some of those x 134 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 1: plays and that three hundred ninety seven yards of total 135 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 1: offense suddenly becomes two and change because it's about one 136 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 1: hundred and eighty yards right there with those three longest 137 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:42,720 Speaker 1: plays that they gave up. Gotta get that contained in 138 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 1: an effort to keep things tighter. As coach Mack always 139 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 1: talks about separation of the score. That tells the story 140 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 1: right there. For me, it's the drops on offense the 141 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 1: Titans are ten and oh in the career of Ryan 142 00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,680 Speaker 1: Tannehill with Tennessee since twenty nineteen, when he completes more 143 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 1: than seventy percent of his passes. Part of that has 144 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:06,120 Speaker 1: to do with the fact that their passing game is 145 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 1: about control. Throwing in the middle of the field. It 146 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 1: helps them to run clock. It also sets up the 147 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 1: running game. Plus, it's a play where you gain yardage. 148 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 1: When you drop the ball, you obviously don't gain anything. 149 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 1: It's a lost play. The Titans have had far too 150 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:24,280 Speaker 1: many drops in the first two games, which has cost 151 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 1: Tannehill the ability to kind of up that completion percentage 152 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 1: and stay ahead of the chains, not allowing the defense 153 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,480 Speaker 1: to come after you. I just think the bottom line 154 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 1: is if this team catches the football, which it did 155 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:40,680 Speaker 1: really well last year and even in twenty nineteen, if 156 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 1: they catch it better, they're going to be really hard 157 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:46,559 Speaker 1: to stop offensively. So let's go with that, all right, 158 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:51,679 Speaker 1: fourth down? One thing you noticed and want to share 159 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 1: with the OT people, Rhett Bryan, Yeah, minus just it's simple, 160 00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,320 Speaker 1: but it's obvious, and you could tell as the Titans 161 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:04,280 Speaker 1: were climbing back into the ball game at Luminfield, how 162 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,640 Speaker 1: quiet it got in the fourth quarter. Now, obviously when 163 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,120 Speaker 1: it got towards the overtime period and all that, the 164 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,440 Speaker 1: crowd was into it in you know places, but not 165 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:17,480 Speaker 1: constantly standing up yelling in your seats. That always got 166 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,520 Speaker 1: me and all the times we've put on these road 167 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:23,320 Speaker 1: trips in a hostile environment, it got really quiet. And 168 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 1: then as Randy Bullock kicks the thirty six yard field 169 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 1: goal and overtime, I didn't need to look at the 170 00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 1: goal post as to wait for the officials to single. 171 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,719 Speaker 1: The crowd told me it was good. That place does 172 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 1: get loud, and when it gets quiet, it gets creepy quiet. 173 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:39,880 Speaker 1: Before you answer this one, I ask you a question, 174 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 1: Amy Wells. You're on the sidelines for Titans Radio. It 175 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:48,560 Speaker 1: is supposedly Loominfield, the loudest stadium in the NFL. Does 176 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,360 Speaker 1: it buy the hype? It totally lived up to the hype. 177 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 1: The thing that I can compare it to is that 178 00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 1: on every single play, especially like a third down, every 179 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,520 Speaker 1: time the crowd is supposed to get loud, it is 180 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 1: loud like it's the most important moment of the most 181 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:09,599 Speaker 1: important playoff game of all time. That is the consistent 182 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 1: level of noise and energy that happens in that stadium 183 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:16,640 Speaker 1: throughout every single play. So yes, absolutely it stood up 184 00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 1: to the hype. It was kind of unbelievable, so fun, 185 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:23,160 Speaker 1: what a neat place to play, even more fun to 186 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,559 Speaker 1: make him quiet at the end. All right, Amy, one 187 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,439 Speaker 1: thing you noticed and want to share with the OT people. 188 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 1: I noticed how tough some of these guys who play 189 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:36,000 Speaker 1: for the Tennessee Titans actually are. Denico Autry is a monster. 190 00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 1: Jeffrey Simmons at one point had a guard and a 191 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:45,280 Speaker 1: center in his hands and he pushed them into Russell 192 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 1: Wilson like he just did that of his own power, 193 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:51,280 Speaker 1: because he's a monster. I mean, Ben Jones is a monster. 194 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 1: Roger Staffeld is a monster. These are guys that want 195 00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:56,720 Speaker 1: to be on the field and they want to do 196 00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:00,240 Speaker 1: everything that they can to power through and make plays 197 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,920 Speaker 1: and contribute to their team. And I just think that 198 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,840 Speaker 1: that is the coolest thing that this Titans team is 199 00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 1: filled with those kind of people who will do whatever 200 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 1: it takes to be the toughest, strongest dude out on 201 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,600 Speaker 1: the field. One thing that I noticed was it was 202 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:20,720 Speaker 1: back to Baltimore last year in November, and that was 203 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,440 Speaker 1: a game that the Titans had to come back late. 204 00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:26,080 Speaker 1: It looked like Baltimore was going to get it. They 205 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:29,080 Speaker 1: held up, made him kick a field goal, forcing overtime, 206 00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:32,000 Speaker 1: and then the Titans go win the game by pounding 207 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 1: them into submission at the end of the ball game 208 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:38,560 Speaker 1: what we used to call the fifteenth round of the 209 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,680 Speaker 1: fight when heavyweight fights were fifteen rounds before Amy Wills 210 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 1: was born. The Titans were the better team, and that 211 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:51,080 Speaker 1: was just like that day in Baltimore last year where 212 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,440 Speaker 1: they showed Mike Vrabel on the sidelines and he was 213 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:56,840 Speaker 1: miked in that twenty twenty game, and he's good. Come on, 214 00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 1: finish him. They they're tired, finish him. Seattle was tired. 215 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:05,000 Speaker 1: Seattle had been the better team for three quarters, but 216 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:08,559 Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter and overtime, the Titans end up 217 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 1: scoring the last seventeen points. Russell Wilson has two chances 218 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,439 Speaker 1: to win the game. Two chances at the end of 219 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:18,720 Speaker 1: regulation and an overtime. He's one of the greatest comeback 220 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:22,200 Speaker 1: quarterbacks of all time. He's one of the greatest overtime 221 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:25,400 Speaker 1: late in the game quarterbacks of all time. The stats 222 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:28,160 Speaker 1: show it. He has two chances to win the game 223 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:32,800 Speaker 1: and the Titans get him off the field both times, 224 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 1: putting themselves in a position to win this contest. That 225 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:40,200 Speaker 1: was the win last year that pushed the Titans to 226 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,200 Speaker 1: go forward and end up winning the division. It came 227 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:48,680 Speaker 1: right after the embarrassing Thursday night loss to Indianapolis. Remember 228 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 1: that the Titans go get that Baltimore game that nobody 229 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 1: thinks they're gonna get, and then they got Indianapolis the 230 00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:58,920 Speaker 1: next week on their way to winning the division. Can 231 00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:03,200 Speaker 1: this be that win after an Arizona game that everybody 232 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 1: wants to forget. The Titans put themselves in a position 233 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 1: with Indianapolis next on the schedule that they've got a 234 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,600 Speaker 1: chance to hit a big lick right here and put 235 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,280 Speaker 1: themselves in a good position. Albeit early in the season, 236 00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:21,679 Speaker 1: but this is an important game. It's huge because when 237 00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:26,600 Speaker 1: you think about and we saw what happened to Carson Wentz, 238 00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:29,520 Speaker 1: and it's gonna be interesting to see their injury report. 239 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 1: I'm very interested to see what the Titans injury report 240 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 1: looks like after left side of the line. I mean, 241 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:39,280 Speaker 1: just start counting them on. Its gonna be two pages, yeah, yeah, 242 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:41,360 Speaker 1: And it may be that way for India as well, 243 00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,959 Speaker 1: because reports are that Carson Wentz has two spraining ancles. 244 00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:48,760 Speaker 1: Both ankles are spraying, So you know, is there anyway 245 00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,640 Speaker 1: he goes or is it the Jacob Eason Show. And 246 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,600 Speaker 1: so you know we're gonna look at and we've seen 247 00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:58,360 Speaker 1: a long history of backup quarterbacks that we hadn't seen before, 248 00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,160 Speaker 1: that kind of stuff, and that's what gets you on 249 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:03,400 Speaker 1: edge a little bit going into this one. But you 250 00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:06,360 Speaker 1: have a chance. You're right, Mike, and you've said it 251 00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:09,560 Speaker 1: since the schedule came out. You've got them twice before 252 00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:13,319 Speaker 1: Halloween is over. If you get two from them right there, 253 00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:17,800 Speaker 1: you can set yourself up for November and December and beyond, 254 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 1: regardless of what indies got going on. Bless their hearts. 255 00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 1: I'm more excited about the fact that we saw the 256 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans doing Tennessee Titans things. This feels like, oh, okay, 257 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:35,080 Speaker 1: here we are, this is what we do, and it's 258 00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:39,280 Speaker 1: such a momentum builder but also a foundation builder. It 259 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 1: shows that this stuff still works, this team still knows 260 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:44,840 Speaker 1: what they're doing, and this team can still do the 261 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,760 Speaker 1: things that they do bet, which is be consistent and 262 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:51,320 Speaker 1: grind it out and wear other teams down and never 263 00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:53,920 Speaker 1: quit and make something happen. Those are the things that 264 00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:56,400 Speaker 1: we didn't see in Week one. We saw them in 265 00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 1: Week two, and hopefully that's the switch that needs to 266 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 1: be flicked to continue through the season. Red hit it 267 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:06,200 Speaker 1: on the nose, though. Indianapolis is O in two and 268 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 1: they're gonna come in with everything they have, no matter 269 00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:12,560 Speaker 1: who the quarterback is. They're very tough in the front 270 00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,400 Speaker 1: seven on defense, they would like to make it a 271 00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:18,840 Speaker 1: slug fist. They have a running game, they're having trouble 272 00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:21,640 Speaker 1: protecting the quarterbacks. So I have a feeling they're going 273 00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:23,600 Speaker 1: to try to line it up and run it and 274 00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:27,080 Speaker 1: run it and throw short passes to Naim Hines and 275 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:31,120 Speaker 1: make it the Nashville game of last November where they 276 00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:35,000 Speaker 1: work the Titans over and kept it very simple. That's 277 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:36,720 Speaker 1: going to be the type of game that they try 278 00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:38,520 Speaker 1: to make it. I think the Titans are gonna have 279 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:42,760 Speaker 1: to be prepared to play a very physical game because 280 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,600 Speaker 1: I have a hunch that that's how Indianapolis thinks they 281 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:47,840 Speaker 1: can come in here and get a win. And I'll 282 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,560 Speaker 1: tell you this, I just need to see more of 283 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:54,040 Speaker 1: this Titans run defense, because that is also a stat 284 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:57,040 Speaker 1: that jumps off the page. They held the Seahawks as 285 00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:01,040 Speaker 1: a team to eighteen carries seventy seven yards. Yes, Chris 286 00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:04,240 Speaker 1: Carson had those two scores, but they held the team 287 00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:08,880 Speaker 1: to seventy seven yards rushing. That's what you need. This 288 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 1: is the OTP presented by Farm Bureau Health Plans turned 289 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,080 Speaker 1: to the folks who've been in the game since nineteen 290 00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:17,280 Speaker 1: forty seven. Farm Bureau Health Plants offers the great healthcare 291 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:20,000 Speaker 1: coverage you need with a price tag you can afford. 292 00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:23,840 Speaker 1: Amy Wells. Good to be back, and now the Titans 293 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:27,600 Speaker 1: actually get on a more normal schedule for a while, 294 00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,120 Speaker 1: which I think is kind of helpful. Yeah, we're a 295 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:34,280 Speaker 1: solid Sunday at noon team and I like that. I 296 00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:37,640 Speaker 1: like the consistency. I like that this team isn't going 297 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:42,560 Speaker 1: to have the wacky trips and the far away travel 298 00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:45,640 Speaker 1: schedule and the weird times for a while. You can 299 00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:47,760 Speaker 1: get into a groove, you can get into a routine. 300 00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:50,840 Speaker 1: I like it. But Mike Vrabel likes it even more 301 00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:54,440 Speaker 1: and it really doesn't happen. In terms of the goofiness 302 00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:58,400 Speaker 1: from the variation, we call it goofiness because the Titans 303 00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 1: have been the noon Central team forever and ever yeah, 304 00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:04,359 Speaker 1: but it doesn't happen again until Los Angeles with Sunday 305 00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:07,120 Speaker 1: night football, and that's going to be an even more 306 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:11,760 Speaker 1: normal trip because because it's a Sunday night game, that 307 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:14,600 Speaker 1: sort of evens things out, and that's gonna make Monday 308 00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:17,720 Speaker 1: more of a travel day more so than last night 309 00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:19,919 Speaker 1: where the team was flying back through the evening and 310 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:23,840 Speaker 1: got home in the very early morning hours of this Monday. So, 311 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:26,720 Speaker 1: you know, good stuff through the end of October, but 312 00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:29,119 Speaker 1: a lot of work to do. Ret Bryant and to 313 00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:34,560 Speaker 1: your point, Amy, just like those players, the organization, the coaches, 314 00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:37,040 Speaker 1: they're creatures of habit, just like we are. We have 315 00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:40,720 Speaker 1: a routine every day for the most part. And if 316 00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,119 Speaker 1: you have the same kind of routine to get ready 317 00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:46,359 Speaker 1: every game week and it's you know, an eleven o'clock 318 00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:50,080 Speaker 1: Central uh start for us on Titans Radio, that doesn't 319 00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:53,320 Speaker 1: throw us off. We're used to that. We're well, these 320 00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:56,040 Speaker 1: guys are too. Their their schedule set up for that, 321 00:17:56,600 --> 00:18:00,920 Speaker 1: and you know, we have the the you're afforded being 322 00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:04,119 Speaker 1: able to look down the schedule at this thing, unlike 323 00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:05,680 Speaker 1: them who have to look week to week. But you 324 00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:09,040 Speaker 1: got Indianapolis, then you have two road trips with going 325 00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,040 Speaker 1: to New York to play the Jets and then add 326 00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:13,439 Speaker 1: Jacksonville to try to get another AFC South win, and 327 00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:17,280 Speaker 1: then you have Buffalo on Monday night in Kansas City 328 00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:20,080 Speaker 1: six days later at Nissan Stadium. You've got to have 329 00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:24,760 Speaker 1: some consistency here and hopefully stacking wins getting to those 330 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:28,280 Speaker 1: important games. But what you're saying is important there, because 331 00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,960 Speaker 1: the trip to New Jersey is not bad, the trip 332 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:36,080 Speaker 1: to Jacksonville is not bad. The Monday night game is home, 333 00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:40,080 Speaker 1: the following Sunday is home, and then you travel to Indianapolis, 334 00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:42,840 Speaker 1: which is your easiest trip of the year. So none 335 00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:46,760 Speaker 1: of that is difficult or taxing on the body or 336 00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:50,400 Speaker 1: on the schedule. Because even with the Monday night game, 337 00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:53,480 Speaker 1: the fact that it's followed by another home game is 338 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:57,159 Speaker 1: a huge lift to this ball club overall. Still a 339 00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,720 Speaker 1: lot of work to do for the Titans, and I 340 00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,280 Speaker 1: think a lot of work to do at home. You know, 341 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:05,080 Speaker 1: if this team is going to be a contender for 342 00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:08,560 Speaker 1: a high seat in the AFC, they've got to play 343 00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:11,960 Speaker 1: better football at home than what they did a year ago, 344 00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:14,639 Speaker 1: and certainly what they did against Arizona. They've got to 345 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:18,399 Speaker 1: take advantage of that home crowd for Amy Wells and 346 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:21,720 Speaker 1: Rhet Bryan.
