1 00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:13,600 Speaker 1: This is the OTP presented by Farm Bureau Health Plans. 2 00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:17,439 Speaker 1: They've been protecting Tennessee and since nineteen forty seven. Don't 3 00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:20,880 Speaker 1: get sacked by the high cost of healthcare. Make Farm 4 00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:24,560 Speaker 1: Bureau Health Plans your first line of protection. With Amy Wells, 5 00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:26,400 Speaker 1: I'm Mike Keith, and we are glad to have you 6 00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,120 Speaker 1: with us for what is known as the Official Titans Podcast. 7 00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:34,440 Speaker 1: As we enter the fourth quarter of the twenty twenty season, 8 00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:37,760 Speaker 1: Miss Wells, can you believe it? Well, it's interesting. So 9 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:41,280 Speaker 1: I went back through and did the run through of 10 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:44,960 Speaker 1: each quarter because I'm not big into the whole quarters thing. 11 00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:49,440 Speaker 1: That's kind of a coach GM players sort of thing. 12 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:55,080 Speaker 1: I functioned week to week. Yeah, in our job. It's 13 00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:56,840 Speaker 1: just different. That's the only way I could put it. 14 00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,720 Speaker 1: So they went four and oh in the first quarter, 15 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:04,600 Speaker 1: a COVID outbreak that put sixteen days between games three 16 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:09,120 Speaker 1: and four. Okay, two and two in the second quarter 17 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:15,039 Speaker 1: with bookend wins over Houston and Chicago, around back to 18 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 1: back losses to Pittsburgh and Cincinnati, and then two and 19 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:22,920 Speaker 1: two in the third quarter with bookend losses to Indianapolis 20 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 1: and Cleveland around back to back road wins at Baltimore 21 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:31,319 Speaker 1: in Indianapolis. Interesting. Yeah, So the first quarter really good, 22 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 1: second and the third quarter average. Here's your fourth quarter 23 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:40,679 Speaker 1: going to Jacksonville this weekend. That's a team that's fired 24 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 1: their general manager. They're one and eleven, but a division 25 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 1: rival Detroit at home noon Central Time on December twentieth. 26 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 1: They fired their GM and their coach, Daryl Bevil is 27 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 1: now their interim coach. Sunday Night Football in December twenty 28 00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 1: seventh at green Bay the matchup with our former offensive 29 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 1: coordinator Matt Lafleur, who's doing a great job as the 30 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 1: head coach of the Packers. No fans in attendance, only 31 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 1: staff members and friends and family of players. And then 32 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 1: at Houston interim coach, no official general manager. That's the 33 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:24,919 Speaker 1: fourth quarter. Two division games, one historically good team on 34 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 1: Sunday Night Football. Three teams with losing records. But the 35 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,080 Speaker 1: fact is, if the Titans are going to get in 36 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 1: the playoffs, you figure they've got to win at least 37 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 1: two of them. If they're gonna win the division, you 38 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,960 Speaker 1: figure they've got to win at least three of them. Yeah, 39 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 1: I agree with that, and I think that there's a 40 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,519 Speaker 1: lot of interesting things in that fourth quarter. You've got 41 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 1: two division rivals, You've got two teams that are kind 42 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,800 Speaker 1: of going through some internal shakeups. You've got the no 43 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 1: fans thing in Green Bay, which I think has a 44 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:58,079 Speaker 1: little bit of an impact. I mean, every coach and 45 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 1: player will swear up and down it doesn't, but no 46 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 1: fans in Green Bay in December is weird. It's come 47 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 1: to this. I mean, right now as we speak taping 48 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:13,400 Speaker 1: this edition of the OTP, home teams are only either 49 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:17,800 Speaker 1: three or four games over five hundred on the year. Yeah, 50 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 1: it's very strange, and it's been because in Seattle you 51 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:24,119 Speaker 1: don't have the noise. In Kansas City, you don't have 52 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 1: the advantage in that way. I mean, in some ways, 53 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 1: being the road team and traveling on the plane and 54 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,639 Speaker 1: go into the hotel and being sort of in an 55 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 1: almost normal setting is almost more normal than being the 56 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 1: home team in terms of how you have to turn 57 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 1: around all the arrangements. Yeah, you're able to keep your 58 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 1: routine a little bit better on the road, and there's 59 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 1: so many things that, especially for the players and coaches, 60 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 1: are already taken care of because you're on the road. 61 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 1: So you have the football ops staff who takes care 62 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 1: of the meals and all of that stuff, and of 63 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 1: course they have a lot of those things when there's 64 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 1: a home game as well, but you don't have some 65 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 1: of the auxiliary things that are just kind of happening 66 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 1: with family and you know, your day to day life 67 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 1: that also exists when you're at home. Well, you don't 68 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 1: want to say distraction because that makes it sound like 69 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,719 Speaker 1: people don't care about their families, and they certainly do. 70 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,479 Speaker 1: But they have no distractions on the road, nothing exactly. 71 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:29,599 Speaker 1: They can't go out, they can't meet with you know, 72 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 1: if your parents are coming to town, or an old 73 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 1: college buddy, or you know, your wife and kids decide 74 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 1: to make that trip. None of that's happening. You're going 75 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:41,799 Speaker 1: to the hotel, you're going to the meetings, you're eating 76 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 1: the team meals separately. You're basically going back to your 77 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,560 Speaker 1: room and watching television and that's it. So between the 78 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 1: fact that you're not having to deal with a hostile 79 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 1: crowd and when you travel, all you have to do 80 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:58,360 Speaker 1: is focus on football. I guess it's not really surprising 81 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 1: that road teams are winning basically fifty percent of every 82 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 1: game this year. Well, and for that reason, I'm very 83 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 1: happy that three of the titans last four games are 84 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:11,159 Speaker 1: on the road. Yeah. Okay, by the way, we got 85 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,920 Speaker 1: to look at the Colts fourth quarter here because they 86 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 1: are also eight and four. They play at Las Vegas 87 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,920 Speaker 1: against the Raiders, and it feels like Philip Rivers has 88 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 1: tortured the Raiders for almost twenty years. Right, Yeah, but 89 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 1: they've been new Las Vegas, new house. Maybe they have 90 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:34,160 Speaker 1: a new new outlook on Philip Rigs. Houston at home. 91 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 1: Houston should have beaten them last week. I mean fumbling 92 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 1: the snap at the goal line, the bad snap. Oh boy, 93 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 1: at Pittsburgh, that'll be a doozy. Well, but I mean 94 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:48,360 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh's kind of I think Pittsburgh's come back to earth 95 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 1: a little bit after what we saw the other night. 96 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 1: Then losing to Washington football team, and then they end 97 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:59,599 Speaker 1: with Jacksonville. Well, that's interesting. If the Titans finished tied 98 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:04,480 Speaker 1: with the Coals with the exact same overall record, but 99 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 1: the Titans beat Jacksonville and beat Houston, the Titans win 100 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:12,719 Speaker 1: the division because they would then again, if they finished 101 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:16,320 Speaker 1: with the same overall record and they win those two games, 102 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,359 Speaker 1: they would win the division based on the fact that 103 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 1: they have a better AFC South record. Interesting. Okay, now 104 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,719 Speaker 1: here's another interesting thing. So as it stands right now, 105 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 1: the Titans would be the four seed in the playoffs. 106 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 1: It could be the three seed because remember the Titans 107 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:39,919 Speaker 1: beat Buffalo, Buffalo is one game ahead of the Titans. 108 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 1: Here's what Buffalo has left to do in their fourth 109 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 1: quarter Pittsburgh this weekend on Sunday Night football. That's gonna 110 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,279 Speaker 1: be a doozy of a game at Denver, which I 111 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 1: mean you never know, at New England, which for them 112 00:06:54,560 --> 00:07:00,040 Speaker 1: is a little tricky. And then Miami. Interesting. If the 113 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:04,160 Speaker 1: Titans finished with the same record as Buffalo and they 114 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,040 Speaker 1: win the division, the Titans would then be the three 115 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 1: seed and would get the six seed in the playoffs. Interesting, 116 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 1: which could be Indianapolis. Again, Can I ask a stupid question? Sure, 117 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:22,080 Speaker 1: winning the division automatically means you have a home playoff game, correct? Correct? Okay? 118 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 1: I just wanted to make sure that that was correct, 119 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 1: because that's kind of what I have my site set on. 120 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 1: If they don't expand the playoffs because of canceled games 121 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 1: down the stretch, meaning if they don't go to eight 122 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 1: teams in each conference, if they stay with seven number 123 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 1: one gets a buy two place seven, three place six, 124 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 1: four place five means, as it stands right now as 125 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 1: I look at it, we'd play Cleveland again. I want 126 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 1: Cleveland again. That would be great for me. Okay, that 127 00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 1: would bring me a lot of joy. Don't you feel 128 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,640 Speaker 1: like you another shot at them for like five more 129 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,600 Speaker 1: minutes in that game? You know? But I'm gonna tell 130 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 1: you this, looking at what Pittsburgh has left and the 131 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 1: fact that they have to play Cleveland again, I would 132 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 1: not be dumbfounded. If Cleveland wins their last four games 133 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:21,440 Speaker 1: and ends up winning that division. That would not shock me, 134 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 1: even though there are two games behind with four to play, 135 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 1: because Pittsburgh has Buffalo, Pittsburgh has Indianapolis, and Pittsburgh has Cleveland. 136 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 1: I don't know, Mike Key. Usually I can get behind 137 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 1: your Harryman ideas. No, no, no, I'm not saying that's 138 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:42,080 Speaker 1: what's going to happen. I said that would not shock me. 139 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 1: I don't know, man, I think that. I think I 140 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:50,360 Speaker 1: would be surprised if the tables were to turn in 141 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:53,840 Speaker 1: that direction. That would surprise me. That's fair. That's fair. 142 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 1: By the way, I need to read this, Hey, Titans fans, 143 00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:01,680 Speaker 1: get a kick before kickoff with Duncan d d Perks 144 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 1: members can score four times the points on any beverage 145 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:08,640 Speaker 1: purchase every Titans game day when you order ahead on 146 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,920 Speaker 1: the Duncan app. So we play at twelve or two 147 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 1: Central time this Sunday. It gets Jacksonville. Maybe you're coming 148 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 1: home from church, Grab a duncan. Maybe you're going to church, 149 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 1: Grab a Duncan. Yeah, that's it, that's it. Maybe you're 150 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 1: just riding around. I don't know what you're doing. You know, 151 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 1: maybe you're going to see Grandmall. But you get four 152 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 1: times the points, which gets you closer to a free drink. 153 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 1: The real message here has download the Duncan app today. 154 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:37,440 Speaker 1: Titan fans run on Duncan. Participation may very limited time 155 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 1: offer exclusions apply. You know what I like about that 156 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:44,000 Speaker 1: Duncan app. It shows me where the closest Duncan's to 157 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,640 Speaker 1: me are, so when we're on the road, I can 158 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 1: figure out where I need to go. That is clutch. 159 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 1: I appreciate that feature. I used it in Baltimore. Yeah, 160 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:56,040 Speaker 1: walked around the corner to get my Duncan right around 161 00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 1: the corner. It was very convenient. I went there as well. 162 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:02,760 Speaker 1: It was very venion. Okay, a couple other things to discuss. 163 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:06,960 Speaker 1: How about a couple of stats things like okay, so 164 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:10,679 Speaker 1: the stats on the offense are just really good. God Lee. 165 00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,439 Speaker 1: The Titans came out of Sunday the number five offense 166 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 1: in the NFL. Think about that. You haven't had Adam 167 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 1: hump Freeze for almost half the season, and as it's 168 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,839 Speaker 1: gonna turn out with him going back on IR, you're 169 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:27,600 Speaker 1: not going to have him for half the season. So 170 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 1: one of your most expensive, most important players, and in 171 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:35,320 Speaker 1: fairness to him, he didn't have an injury. He took 172 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:38,480 Speaker 1: a hit to the head which Jesse Bates got fined 173 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 1: twenty grand four, but there was no penalty called on 174 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,560 Speaker 1: the field. So one of your best players is going 175 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:46,400 Speaker 1: to miss roughly half the year. The best left tackling 176 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:50,320 Speaker 1: football played five games. Yep, you're now on your third 177 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:54,360 Speaker 1: left tackle totally. Corey Davis has missed two games. A J. 178 00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:58,640 Speaker 1: Brown has missed two games. Darnton Evans, who you counted 179 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 1: on as being your new changeup guy, has played two 180 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,559 Speaker 1: games the whole year. And yet the Titans are averaging 181 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:08,720 Speaker 1: twenty nine nine a game, twenty nine point nine points 182 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,920 Speaker 1: per game. They have the number five offense in the NFL, 183 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:14,960 Speaker 1: the number four red zone offense in the NFL, and 184 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,840 Speaker 1: they have turned the ball over just eight times, including 185 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 1: three times on Sunday, but still just eight times on 186 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 1: the year. Remarkable, unbelievable. On the flip side. Number thirty 187 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 1: one in red zone defense, which means they are allowing 188 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 1: way too many touchdowns. And then here we go again. 189 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:35,320 Speaker 1: And I'm not going to go any further except to 190 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:38,920 Speaker 1: say number thirty two in opponent third down conversions. I 191 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:41,240 Speaker 1: don't want to talk about that. It makes me sad. 192 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 1: I know I'm not trying to make you sad. No, 193 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 1: but here's the thing, Mike. Having a Titans offense that's 194 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,880 Speaker 1: as exciting as the one that we see right now 195 00:11:56,120 --> 00:12:00,400 Speaker 1: is huge. How long? And I keep going back to this, 196 00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:02,400 Speaker 1: and I know the OT people are tired of me 197 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 1: saying it, but remember the times when we were pleading 198 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,679 Speaker 1: for the offense to do things, when we were pleading 199 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:14,400 Speaker 1: for points to be scored. This is a brave new 200 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:18,600 Speaker 1: world and I love, love, love having being part of 201 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,600 Speaker 1: a team that has such a dynamic offense. It's fun 202 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,760 Speaker 1: to watch. We know they're going to score points, and 203 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:29,200 Speaker 1: there are so many weapons that can make extraordinary things 204 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 1: happen that I love, and you can do it even 205 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:34,719 Speaker 1: when you don't have all of those guys. I mean, 206 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:38,160 Speaker 1: the two constants have obviously been seventeen and twenty two 207 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:42,440 Speaker 1: Dannehill and Henry, and they've been phenomenal. Both of them 208 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:45,360 Speaker 1: have been just outstanding, and you need your best players 209 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:48,080 Speaker 1: to make things happen. I just wonder, now, as you 210 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,880 Speaker 1: entered the season's final quarter, you pretty much are who 211 00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:54,760 Speaker 1: you are. Now you can improve some things, and we've 212 00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:58,559 Speaker 1: seen at times in the third quarter of the season, 213 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,440 Speaker 1: not this past weekend, but in the third quarter of 214 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 1: the season, we saw the red zone defense get better, 215 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:07,920 Speaker 1: we saw the third down defense get better. Now it 216 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:13,080 Speaker 1: regressed last weekend, So what you're hoping and remember last 217 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 1: year there were a couple of moments where the offense 218 00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:20,440 Speaker 1: regressed briefly down the stretch. They had bumps in the road. 219 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:23,120 Speaker 1: Maybe this is just a bump in the road and 220 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:26,480 Speaker 1: they will play better in the last quarter of the season, 221 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 1: which would be great. The other part of it, too, 222 00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:33,560 Speaker 1: is do you say, you know, if we're this good 223 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:37,440 Speaker 1: on offense, do we put our foot on the gas 224 00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:40,560 Speaker 1: a little bit more and try to do even more 225 00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:46,000 Speaker 1: to take more pressure off the defense. Yeah, you go more, 226 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,600 Speaker 1: hurry up, you take more shots. Are there things that 227 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,960 Speaker 1: you do that you say, these are some things we 228 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:58,080 Speaker 1: think we can do without stretching our possibilities, without hurting ourselves. 229 00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:03,040 Speaker 1: Do we try to stretch enough to take advantage of 230 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:06,040 Speaker 1: the best things we do? Does that make sense? It 231 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:09,160 Speaker 1: does make sense. I think the thing that's important through 232 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:14,920 Speaker 1: this last quarter of the season is starting the ascension 233 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:17,680 Speaker 1: up the mountain. You know, you want to get to 234 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,880 Speaker 1: where as you're entering the playoffs, you're playing your very 235 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,920 Speaker 1: best football. I think you're absolutely right that this team 236 00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:26,960 Speaker 1: needs to be highlighting the things that they do well, 237 00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:30,760 Speaker 1: pushing for more of that to happen, taking some of 238 00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:34,560 Speaker 1: the pressure and giving themselves a little more padding when 239 00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 1: it comes to other aspects of the team. So if 240 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,600 Speaker 1: you score a tremendous amount of points, it takes some 241 00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,120 Speaker 1: of the pressure off of other aspects of the team. 242 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:48,000 Speaker 1: But I think that the ultimate goal is to refine 243 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 1: what you do, make sure that everything is in tip 244 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:52,960 Speaker 1: top shape so that when we get to the end 245 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,680 Speaker 1: of December and start to get to the fun part, 246 00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,880 Speaker 1: which is the playoffs, you want to have all systems 247 00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,680 Speaker 1: go so you can suck it off and make the stretch. 248 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:06,440 Speaker 1: It seems like this team has had a lot of injuries. Yeah, 249 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:09,680 Speaker 1: I mean there are times it can feel like that, 250 00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:11,920 Speaker 1: and yet you haven't had a lot of injuries when 251 00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:14,600 Speaker 1: you really look at the numbers. The media relations staff 252 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,400 Speaker 1: was kind enough to share some numbers about injuries, and 253 00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:20,760 Speaker 1: the numbers are up considerably from a year ago. Through 254 00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:25,000 Speaker 1: twelve games. A year ago, the Titans had sixty six 255 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:29,680 Speaker 1: lost games to injury for players. Over half of those 256 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 1: were Cameron Batson who missed the whole year, David Flewellen 257 00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,760 Speaker 1: and DeAndre Walker who missed the whole year, so they 258 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:40,880 Speaker 1: weren't starters. This year. Through twelve games, the number is 259 00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:45,520 Speaker 1: eighty nine lost games and that includes a j Brown two. 260 00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:48,920 Speaker 1: Jayon Brown two, he will definitely miss four more so 261 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:52,080 Speaker 1: it'll be six. Jadevi and Clown He's missed four. He 262 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,520 Speaker 1: will miss four more so that will be a mentioned. 263 00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:59,120 Speaker 1: Corey Davis too, Darnton Evans nine, Christian Fulton seven. You'd 264 00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:02,600 Speaker 1: certainly counted on him. On defense. Humphries will miss at 265 00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:06,200 Speaker 1: least eight by the time the ir thing is complete. 266 00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:10,520 Speaker 1: Dori Jackson has missed the first twelve. Brett Kern missed three. 267 00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:13,200 Speaker 1: Title of one's already missed seven. He'll miss four more, 268 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:15,520 Speaker 1: so he'll miss eleven for the year. And then you 269 00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:20,080 Speaker 1: get into Michael Pruitt miss four. Tysabrilow is at two 270 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:23,520 Speaker 1: right now, he'll go to six. Jeffrey Simmons missed one, 271 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,720 Speaker 1: Johnny Smith missed one, Kenny Vaccaro missed one, Roger Staffield 272 00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:29,160 Speaker 1: miss one. So the numbers are up. So it is 273 00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:33,000 Speaker 1: kind of impressive that they are in a better place 274 00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:36,200 Speaker 1: record wise, and they have had to fight more injuries 275 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:37,760 Speaker 1: this year. As a matter of fact. To take that 276 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:42,720 Speaker 1: even a step further, the Titans have already had seventy 277 00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:46,360 Speaker 1: different players play in a game this year seven zero. 278 00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:50,720 Speaker 1: That's the most enfranchise history. And four games remain to 279 00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:53,600 Speaker 1: be played now different year with COVID, I get it, 280 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:57,240 Speaker 1: but still to have played seventy that's the seventh highest 281 00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:00,520 Speaker 1: number in the NFL, I think, tied for seventh. Actually, 282 00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:04,600 Speaker 1: seventy players have appeared in at least one game this year. 283 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:08,119 Speaker 1: See and you say different year because COVID, but I mean, 284 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:11,720 Speaker 1: I say, and also COVID, you know I mean. So 285 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 1: there's the injuries, and there's the COVID thing. I mean, 286 00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:20,000 Speaker 1: this is remarkable in my mind what the Titans have 287 00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:22,920 Speaker 1: been able to accomplish with the amount of and every 288 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:26,160 Speaker 1: year there's adversity. Every year, there's a storyline. Every year 289 00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:31,280 Speaker 1: there's something. This year, the storyline is moving bodies like 290 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:36,480 Speaker 1: it's people coming on ir off br It's all roster moves. 291 00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:40,320 Speaker 1: That is the story of twenty twenty. And wow, it 292 00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:43,600 Speaker 1: makes John Robinson look very, very good that the team 293 00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:46,000 Speaker 1: has been able to do what they have been able 294 00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:49,960 Speaker 1: to do this season with the amount of people that 295 00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:53,080 Speaker 1: they have had to churn through the roster and the 296 00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:56,119 Speaker 1: amount of personnel moves that have happened this year. And 297 00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:59,240 Speaker 1: you just read off the numbers, I mean that speaks 298 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:02,160 Speaker 1: to the Titans per cell department, the team that has 299 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:05,040 Speaker 1: had the most players play in a game for them 300 00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:11,800 Speaker 1: this year, Jacksonville seventy seven. Really yes, when I started preparing, 301 00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:14,480 Speaker 1: and of course, the great thing about a division opponent 302 00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,760 Speaker 1: is you've already built your charts and built your notes, 303 00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:20,480 Speaker 1: and normally there's you know, even if you play them 304 00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:23,200 Speaker 1: early in the year, maybe there's eight to ten roster 305 00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:26,040 Speaker 1: spots that have turned over, or you know, you've lost 306 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:28,359 Speaker 1: four or five starters or whatever I mean. This was. 307 00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 1: I had to go back and rebuild the whole thing. 308 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:34,160 Speaker 1: They have had so many changes, and injury has been 309 00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:36,440 Speaker 1: a big part of their story. I had a chance 310 00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:40,160 Speaker 1: to visit with the voice of the Jacksonville Jaguars, Frank Frangie, 311 00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:43,920 Speaker 1: on Titan's Radio earlier this week, and I think you'll 312 00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:46,680 Speaker 1: be interested to hear a few things that he has 313 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:56,080 Speaker 1: to say about their season. All right, so let's talk 314 00:18:56,119 --> 00:19:00,720 Speaker 1: about you leaving here after the week two game. Great 315 00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:05,000 Speaker 1: football game. Gained four hundred and eighty yards to the Jaguars. 316 00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 1: They make a nice comeback, have a shot to win 317 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:10,560 Speaker 1: the ball game. At the end, Jeffrey Simmons bats a 318 00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:14,400 Speaker 1: pass up in the air, it's intercepted. Titans very fortunate 319 00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:17,920 Speaker 1: to win. And when you left here, I was convinced 320 00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:22,760 Speaker 1: the Jacksonville Jaguars were a vastly improved team. Liked what 321 00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:27,200 Speaker 1: I saw from James Robinson. And yet ten more games 322 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:30,600 Speaker 1: after that, all losses. Any Way to describe what you 323 00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:33,880 Speaker 1: think has happened, boy's hard, Mike, and I agree with you, man, 324 00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:36,639 Speaker 1: after two games, and I want to think the Colts 325 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:39,919 Speaker 1: have a good team. Beat the Colts to start the season, 326 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:41,440 Speaker 1: and I thought they were going to have a good team. 327 00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:43,920 Speaker 1: Beat the Colts to start the season, played very well 328 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:45,880 Speaker 1: against the Titans. I said, you know what, they found 329 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:49,240 Speaker 1: their quarterback. There's a rhythm to this thing. They stole 330 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:52,600 Speaker 1: a running back. It wasn't even drafted. Yeah, I thought 331 00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:54,159 Speaker 1: they had a chance. We knew they'd be better on 332 00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,800 Speaker 1: offense and defense. Who we thought they'd score enough to 333 00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:58,159 Speaker 1: stay in some games. I don't know that I had 334 00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:00,400 Speaker 1: him a ten or eleven wins, but I had them. 335 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:02,920 Speaker 1: I had him around the five hundred maybe at that point, 336 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,840 Speaker 1: and maybe battling for a playoff spot. Through the wheels 337 00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:10,080 Speaker 1: came off, Gardner started to struggle. Got a lot of 338 00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:12,520 Speaker 1: guys hurt. And now everybody gets people hurt. I know that, 339 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:14,760 Speaker 1: but they got a lot of guys hurt. They had 340 00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:17,080 Speaker 1: made enough moves in the off season and the off 341 00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:20,159 Speaker 1: seasons between the Ramsey deal and the Fouler deal and 342 00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,160 Speaker 1: Calais Campbell didn't come back, and they didn't bring any 343 00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:25,080 Speaker 1: boyer back that they were they were starting to transition. 344 00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:27,199 Speaker 1: They still thought they had a pretty good team, but 345 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:29,719 Speaker 1: when you transition, there's not much margin of error. And 346 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,679 Speaker 1: I think what wound up happening is the injury stacked 347 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:35,679 Speaker 1: up a little bit. You know, there's more tape on Gardner. 348 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,280 Speaker 1: I think people had seen him now and defended him 349 00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:40,159 Speaker 1: a little different. And then and then what happens is 350 00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:42,320 Speaker 1: and you've seen this, we've all seen him in sports. 351 00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,800 Speaker 1: You start losing. You're young, you have a young locker room. 352 00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:47,399 Speaker 1: It's a good locker room, by the way that there's 353 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:49,080 Speaker 1: not some culture issues in the past year, but not now. 354 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:50,919 Speaker 1: This has been a pretty good locker room. But you 355 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,320 Speaker 1: start losing, and then that kind of becomes who you are, 356 00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:56,080 Speaker 1: and you're young, and it's hard to find your way 357 00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,040 Speaker 1: out of it. The last four or five games as teams, 358 00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,000 Speaker 1: but out than the Steelers came in, they're being pretty good. 359 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:03,120 Speaker 1: But other than that, they've been writing games, overtime game, 360 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:05,959 Speaker 1: two point losses before that, two point loss before that, 361 00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:08,960 Speaker 1: some two point convergence. So they're close. They play hard, 362 00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:11,359 Speaker 1: they really do, Mike, they play hard. It's just a 363 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:15,200 Speaker 1: young team that isn't there yet, it really is. Why 364 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:18,600 Speaker 1: does Doug Marone believe that Mike Glennon is the answer 365 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,399 Speaker 1: at quarterback at this moment? Frank, I think that's a 366 00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:23,399 Speaker 1: lot to do has a lot to do with Jake Gruden, 367 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:27,680 Speaker 1: who's the coordinator. He's a Jason Grizzle Guy's a veteran guy. 368 00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:31,240 Speaker 1: I think they want a veteran quarterback. Is stabilizing influence. 369 00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:33,960 Speaker 1: The other thing is style of playing too. Both both 370 00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:37,240 Speaker 1: Jake Luton, who played a couple of games Mike and 371 00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:40,280 Speaker 1: Mike Glennon are big, tall, stay in the pocket guys. 372 00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,720 Speaker 1: That's what Jake, That's what Jake Gruden, the coordinator, wants. 373 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:47,159 Speaker 1: Stay in the pocket, keep your eyes downfield, let the 374 00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:50,160 Speaker 1: play develop. Gardner's a different style of player. He leaves 375 00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,359 Speaker 1: the pocket early. To his credit, he worked on that. 376 00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:54,719 Speaker 1: He even talked about I've got a hanger longer. But 377 00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:57,080 Speaker 1: you you've watched enough Gardner Minshue. He's a he's an 378 00:21:57,080 --> 00:22:00,440 Speaker 1: exciting player, he's a he's a dynamic player. But he's 379 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:03,199 Speaker 1: a leave to pocket guy, make plays off schedule, and 380 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:04,919 Speaker 1: I don't think that fits what they want to do now. 381 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,199 Speaker 1: He hasn't said that specifically, but that's my read on it. 382 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:09,760 Speaker 1: I think all the quarterbacks have had some good moments. 383 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:13,080 Speaker 1: They've all played multiple games now. At the end of 384 00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:17,120 Speaker 1: the day, I think Mike Glennon and Luton before him 385 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:19,520 Speaker 1: kind of fit what Jay Gruden wants to do with 386 00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:22,200 Speaker 1: this offense, play from the pocket, maybe more than Gardner. 387 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 1: That's my read on it. Is there a sense that 388 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:29,120 Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew is a backup quarterback in terms of that's 389 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:31,879 Speaker 1: what his NFL future is going to be a changeup? 390 00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:34,520 Speaker 1: You know, everyone wants to kind of assess that now. 391 00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:37,280 Speaker 1: I don't know that we know. I don't know. By 392 00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:39,600 Speaker 1: Gardner's own admission, Mike, he's not gonna be a plus 393 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:42,040 Speaker 1: song guy in this league. He's a six feet tall 394 00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:43,800 Speaker 1: guy with an average arm, and he'll tell you that 395 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:45,800 Speaker 1: that's not a shot at Gardner. Gardener is a good dude, 396 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,560 Speaker 1: but he's not a big armed guy. He doesn't run 397 00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:51,040 Speaker 1: as fast as the fast quarterbacks. He doesn't throw it 398 00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:52,720 Speaker 1: as hard as a big, strong arm guy. So I 399 00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:55,360 Speaker 1: think all that's in play, we'll see. I think there's 400 00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:57,280 Speaker 1: a place from this league. He's a well liked guy. 401 00:22:57,320 --> 00:23:01,720 Speaker 1: He plays hard, he practices, Art's charismatic. He's smart as heck. 402 00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:05,119 Speaker 1: Doug Marlan told me last year he can his rookies go. 403 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:08,640 Speaker 1: He can apply things more quickly that he gets that 404 00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,920 Speaker 1: week than any player that young he had ever seen. 405 00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:13,800 Speaker 1: This guy's gonna be a coach one day. That's what 406 00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:15,880 Speaker 1: he was. Remember, he was originally gonna go to Alabama. 407 00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:18,399 Speaker 1: When he transfers to Meast Carolina to learn how to 408 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:19,920 Speaker 1: be a coach, and then Mike leaves down him, he 409 00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:21,760 Speaker 1: went to Washington State and the rest of his history. 410 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,679 Speaker 1: So I think it worst he will be a backup 411 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:26,479 Speaker 1: in this league for a long time. But worst he's 412 00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:29,280 Speaker 1: riding Fitzatrick. But I'm not sure if the door's closed 413 00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:30,959 Speaker 1: on him being something more than that yet. I think 414 00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:33,280 Speaker 1: he's just got here. Man. It's his second year, so 415 00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:35,200 Speaker 1: it'll be interesting to see. It's gonna be fun to 416 00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:37,440 Speaker 1: watching and see if if his career develops at all. 417 00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:41,240 Speaker 1: Can you remember a better story as a player that's 418 00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:45,159 Speaker 1: come out of nowhere than James Robbinson the running back? Gosh? 419 00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:47,880 Speaker 1: I mean, and I asked this question all the time. 420 00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:53,240 Speaker 1: How do all these smart NFL people, thirty two teams, 421 00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:57,560 Speaker 1: with all these really good scalps and really good personnel people, Mike, 422 00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:00,320 Speaker 1: they measure everything now, I mean, they know everybody. Here's 423 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:02,800 Speaker 1: a guy in Anchorage, Alaska that can run. The NFL 424 00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,720 Speaker 1: is gonna find him? How did nobody find this guy 425 00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:07,919 Speaker 1: in the draft had Dame Bruker on on my regular 426 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:10,480 Speaker 1: nine weekly show or my Daily show during the week 427 00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:12,479 Speaker 1: last week, and he talked about how he had him 428 00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:15,199 Speaker 1: rated as about a fourth or fifth rounder. So he 429 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:18,159 Speaker 1: didn't run. I think he's not gonna break away from people. 430 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:20,840 Speaker 1: I think that's the one thing. So he probably didn't 431 00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:22,719 Speaker 1: test well, right, he probably ran. What do you think? 432 00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:25,119 Speaker 1: He's four six four six and a half and that 433 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,880 Speaker 1: guy's not getting drafted high. But I'm surprised he didn't 434 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:31,919 Speaker 1: at all. He plays hard. The comp is we say, 435 00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:33,800 Speaker 1: who's he run like? I have people ask me that, Well, 436 00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:35,760 Speaker 1: he gonna be careful because the comp makes it. Tell me, 437 00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:37,680 Speaker 1: you're saying, he's as good as that guy. A guy 438 00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:39,800 Speaker 1: that stops and starts isn't as good as Barry Sander 439 00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:41,399 Speaker 1: has been. He made him play like it. Well, this 440 00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:44,040 Speaker 1: guy runs a little bit like EMT's Remember Emmett. He 441 00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:46,560 Speaker 1: wasn't the fastest guy, was the most physical guy, but 442 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,560 Speaker 1: he's the leading rusher of all time because he always 443 00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,239 Speaker 1: moved the pile forward. He had great vision, he had 444 00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:55,000 Speaker 1: great balance, he had that center of gravity. Boy James 445 00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:56,560 Speaker 1: has been a great story and Mike you'd love him. 446 00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:59,280 Speaker 1: He's a great kid. He's humble, He's the most humble 447 00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:01,960 Speaker 1: guy in the locker room. He's appreciative, he's a good 448 00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:03,719 Speaker 1: story and and he's gonna be a good story here. 449 00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:06,480 Speaker 1: I think for a lot of years, defense for the 450 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:10,400 Speaker 1: Jaguars has been a little bit of a disappointment. This year, yeah, 451 00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:14,560 Speaker 1: it has for multiple reasons. Number one, they've had some 452 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,959 Speaker 1: guys hurt. Again. When when you say goodbye to Calais Campbell, 453 00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:20,520 Speaker 1: when you say goodbye to a j boye, you say 454 00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:22,760 Speaker 1: goodbye to some of the guys. You needed new guys 455 00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:25,800 Speaker 1: to come in. Two major things happened in the beginning. 456 00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:30,520 Speaker 1: One Rodney Gunter, the big end Mike Did they got 457 00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:33,399 Speaker 1: from Arizona to replace Klaias is a guy kind of 458 00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:36,159 Speaker 1: coming into his own. They like him, and he has 459 00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:38,679 Speaker 1: a heart condition had to retire from football. Nobody saw that. 460 00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:42,199 Speaker 1: Nobody saw that. The nose guard they got, Al Woods 461 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,879 Speaker 1: from Seattle, had a huge year last year. He opted 462 00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,240 Speaker 1: out because of the COVID. Now that's two starters on 463 00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:51,159 Speaker 1: the defensive front that said goodbye to Malay Jackson not 464 00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:53,840 Speaker 1: too long ago, and then to Calais last year. So 465 00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:55,960 Speaker 1: that hurt. They've got a nose guard that's gone for 466 00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:58,200 Speaker 1: the year now from Ohio State, Devon Hamilton, and that 467 00:25:58,240 --> 00:25:59,800 Speaker 1: her because he was playing very well. They got another 468 00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:03,880 Speaker 1: and Doug Costant playing well. Tayman Bryant to kid from 469 00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:06,120 Speaker 1: Florida that they drafted in the first round a few 470 00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:08,320 Speaker 1: years ago. Mikevin played very well. He's been beat out 471 00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:11,920 Speaker 1: by by undrafted rookies. That might have been a miss 472 00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:14,120 Speaker 1: and that's a concern. If you missed in the first 473 00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:16,639 Speaker 1: round in a position like that, that's a concern. So 474 00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:18,800 Speaker 1: the line has met up in flux. The two linebackers, 475 00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:21,040 Speaker 1: Joe Shobert Miles Jackets played great. Miles Jack's played his 476 00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,680 Speaker 1: best football, but it's a young secondary now. C J. 477 00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:26,679 Speaker 1: Henderson's down. This year's first round thing. Yeah, I'm surpried. 478 00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:28,520 Speaker 1: I thought the defense, we knew it would be a 479 00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:30,639 Speaker 1: better when we went into the season. We expected a 480 00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:33,800 Speaker 1: better team our offense than defense, but the defensive struggle 481 00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:41,200 Speaker 1: more we thought. Frank Franjie and I have known each 482 00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:46,719 Speaker 1: other for over thirty years. Really, yes, yes, yes. He 483 00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:50,000 Speaker 1: has hosted a talk show in Jacksonville for that long 484 00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:53,200 Speaker 1: and became the voice of the Jaguars a few years ago. 485 00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:56,119 Speaker 1: Does a great job, and he is a tremendous person, 486 00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:58,280 Speaker 1: one of my favorites. As a matter of fact, I 487 00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:02,600 Speaker 1: do want to get you to play an interview for 488 00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:05,160 Speaker 1: us that you did because you got to talk with 489 00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:09,280 Speaker 1: somebody very significant earlier this week. Tell me about that, 490 00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:12,199 Speaker 1: because I'm fascinated now. I hope you're referring to my 491 00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:15,800 Speaker 1: Sarah Fuller interview, because yeah, I was lucky enough to 492 00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:18,639 Speaker 1: get to talk to her before. She was the honorary 493 00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:22,320 Speaker 1: twelfth Titan at the game at Nissan Stadium against the 494 00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:26,119 Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns, and she was just such a delight to 495 00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:28,959 Speaker 1: talk to. It was so cool to talk to her. 496 00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:30,840 Speaker 1: If you don't know who she is, she's the kicker 497 00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:34,159 Speaker 1: at Vanderbilt. She was the first female to play for 498 00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:39,360 Speaker 1: a Power five school, and her story is remarkable because 499 00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:43,800 Speaker 1: she just seized opportunity, whatever it came her way, there 500 00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:46,280 Speaker 1: was something to do, she stepped up and did it, 501 00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:49,720 Speaker 1: and I think that's so powerful. So enjoy my conversation 502 00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:58,600 Speaker 1: with Sarah Fuller. I think you're gonna like it. I'd 503 00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,400 Speaker 1: spent a lot of time interviewing football players, but never 504 00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:04,560 Speaker 1: a football player quite like this. Sarah Fuller. She is 505 00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:07,840 Speaker 1: the kicker for the Vanderbilt Commodorees. So I want to 506 00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:09,840 Speaker 1: run you back a little bit all the way to 507 00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:13,960 Speaker 1: the beginning. So you play soccer for the Commodorees. You 508 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,000 Speaker 1: were then asked to be a part of the football team. 509 00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:20,040 Speaker 1: Tell me about that, kind of take me through the timeline. Yeah. 510 00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:23,280 Speaker 1: So on Sunday we had won the SEC tournament, which 511 00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:26,040 Speaker 1: was amazing, exciting, and went out on the beach and celebrated, 512 00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:29,000 Speaker 1: and then that night we drove back. So we got 513 00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:33,359 Speaker 1: back really early Monday morning. And Monday about eleven am, 514 00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:36,960 Speaker 1: I was packing to go home and I saw miscall 515 00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:39,400 Speaker 1: from my assistant coach and I called him back and 516 00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:41,680 Speaker 1: I was like what's wrong? Like what is this? Why 517 00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:43,240 Speaker 1: are you calling me? I'm going home? And he's like, 518 00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:45,440 Speaker 1: do you think you could stick around for about a week? 519 00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:47,800 Speaker 1: And I was like why, What's what's up? And he's like, 520 00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:49,840 Speaker 1: they need a kicker on a football team. Would you 521 00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:51,600 Speaker 1: be willing to do it? And I was like, yes, 522 00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:54,400 Speaker 1: let's do it. What do I need to do? So 523 00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:56,479 Speaker 1: he's like be out there in an hour and practice 524 00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:59,000 Speaker 1: some kicks and went out there and I think I've 525 00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:01,640 Speaker 1: missed one, They're like, oh, yeah, we'll use you. So 526 00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:04,880 Speaker 1: went from there. So had you done that before, Like, 527 00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:07,920 Speaker 1: had you kicked a football and done kind of that 528 00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:10,440 Speaker 1: motion or were you just kind of messing around and 529 00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:13,680 Speaker 1: it worked. Honestly, I think it's pretty similar to a 530 00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:16,840 Speaker 1: goal kick. But I really haven't kicked a football, like 531 00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:19,080 Speaker 1: maybe when I was little, like for a little elementary 532 00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:22,840 Speaker 1: game or something, but yeah, never done a football, like 533 00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:24,960 Speaker 1: kicked a football like that. So so you were able 534 00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:28,680 Speaker 1: to use a lot of your soccer goal kick right, Yeah, 535 00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:31,200 Speaker 1: it's kind of similar motion. You're trying to accomplish the 536 00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:33,280 Speaker 1: same thing. Get it far, get it high, right, Yeah, 537 00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:34,960 Speaker 1: for sure. I think the main thing I had to 538 00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:38,080 Speaker 1: focus on and learn was the timing of it. So 539 00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:40,760 Speaker 1: it's it's a lot quicker when you're going to kick 540 00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:42,720 Speaker 1: a field goal because you know people are running at 541 00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:44,720 Speaker 1: you and stuff. With a goalkick, I can be like, 542 00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:46,720 Speaker 1: I'm gonna waste my time until the ref gives me 543 00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:49,320 Speaker 1: a yellow card or something. But yeah, just mainly focusing 544 00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:52,200 Speaker 1: on that and the follow through and everything. It's very similar. 545 00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:55,240 Speaker 1: So were you apprehensive at all? When you go through 546 00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:57,200 Speaker 1: this tryout they end up asking you to do it 547 00:29:57,280 --> 00:29:59,120 Speaker 1: was there any part of you that thought, do I'm 548 00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:01,480 Speaker 1: going to do this? Uh? No, because I wanted to 549 00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:03,840 Speaker 1: help him out and they really needed help. So I 550 00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:05,600 Speaker 1: was like, if I'm the right person for the job, 551 00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:07,480 Speaker 1: then then sure, I want to be there for him. 552 00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:09,760 Speaker 1: And it worked out, so I was very happy with it. 553 00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:12,960 Speaker 1: What was game day like? Was that kind of surreal? Yes, 554 00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:16,040 Speaker 1: Like I've never you know, I've watched football games and 555 00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:18,880 Speaker 1: been on some sidelines for football games, but never been 556 00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:21,080 Speaker 1: a part of it, like in the locker room and everything. 557 00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:24,360 Speaker 1: So that was an amazing experience, Like to see all 558 00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:26,600 Speaker 1: the fans and like that they're watching you. It was 559 00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:28,840 Speaker 1: pretty cool. Also needs to be mentioned that you were 560 00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:31,280 Speaker 1: in Columbia, Missouri, which where I went to school, and 561 00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:34,480 Speaker 1: so I'm very excited that history was made there. But 562 00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:37,000 Speaker 1: that's really a place where there were fans in the stands. 563 00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:40,240 Speaker 1: There's a little bit of atmosphere there because right now, Yeah, 564 00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:42,800 Speaker 1: it's such a yeah, it's such a toss up. It's 565 00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:45,360 Speaker 1: so cool that there were fans there. Did you feel 566 00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:47,080 Speaker 1: like you were being received really well? I know there 567 00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:49,720 Speaker 1: was a lot of talk leading up to this game. Yeah, 568 00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:52,520 Speaker 1: I felt like it was so cute. I would like 569 00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:54,880 Speaker 1: like practice my kicks into the net or whatever, and 570 00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:57,840 Speaker 1: like little kids would come up and be like yeay Sarah, 571 00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:00,600 Speaker 1: like from on the sideline and they cheer me on 572 00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:03,040 Speaker 1: if I was just warming up with the field goals 573 00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:06,479 Speaker 1: and so that was really cool that even though I 574 00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:09,000 Speaker 1: wasn't actually playing, like I stepped in and made one 575 00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:11,440 Speaker 1: and they're like, yes, that was cool. What was the 576 00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:14,560 Speaker 1: reaction of some of your soccer teammates. Oh, they've been 577 00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:18,920 Speaker 1: so supportive. They've been incredible. I really love them so much. 578 00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:21,120 Speaker 1: They are my family at the end of the day. 579 00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:23,560 Speaker 1: So I'm so happy that I have they have my 580 00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:26,880 Speaker 1: back through this whole process. So you've gotten a lot 581 00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:30,120 Speaker 1: of attention in the last couple of weeks. What has 582 00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:33,880 Speaker 1: that been like and did you anticipate it being as 583 00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:35,280 Speaker 1: big of a deal as it is that you were 584 00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:37,480 Speaker 1: kicking for a football. Oh no, not at all. I 585 00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:40,240 Speaker 1: had under a thousand followers on Instagram and I think 586 00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:43,880 Speaker 1: I have one hundred and fifty five thousand right now, 587 00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:48,440 Speaker 1: like overnight, and I just never expected that whatsoever. And 588 00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:50,240 Speaker 1: now that you've had some time to kind of live 589 00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:53,680 Speaker 1: in this space, do you understand why people are so 590 00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:57,080 Speaker 1: excited about what you've been able to accomplish. Yeah, I 591 00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:00,600 Speaker 1: mean just hearing stories from like not like girls are 592 00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:03,680 Speaker 1: so excited and inspired by it, but like also women 593 00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:05,720 Speaker 1: who grew up and were told no, they couldn't be 594 00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:07,960 Speaker 1: on the football team. They have come up to me 595 00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:09,600 Speaker 1: and told me that they're inspired by me. And I 596 00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:12,120 Speaker 1: just think that's amazing that I've been able to break 597 00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:15,040 Speaker 1: down these barriers and show that it is possible to 598 00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:18,200 Speaker 1: do these things. So do you want to continue with football? 599 00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:21,240 Speaker 1: You know, if they need me, I will continue doing it. 600 00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:24,080 Speaker 1: My sport is soccer. I've played that in my entire life. 601 00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:27,160 Speaker 1: It's what I've trained in, So soccer is my focus, 602 00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:30,080 Speaker 1: but it doesn't mean I won't be there if they 603 00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:32,160 Speaker 1: need help. Do you feel like you have a platform 604 00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:35,720 Speaker 1: now where you can kind of get a message out 605 00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:38,520 Speaker 1: or you can do things that maybe you couldn't previously. Yeah, 606 00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:41,560 Speaker 1: for sure. I mean I can see now that I 607 00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:44,360 Speaker 1: have a huge influence on so many people, and so 608 00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:48,120 Speaker 1: I want to continue sharing that positive message and also 609 00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:50,920 Speaker 1: my story because there were times when I really struggle 610 00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:54,400 Speaker 1: it as an athlete, and I think that's good to hear. 611 00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:56,520 Speaker 1: It doesn't even matter if you're in sports or just 612 00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:58,560 Speaker 1: in regular life, but that you were going to struggle 613 00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:01,320 Speaker 1: at times. But it's how you get up and overcome 614 00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:08,280 Speaker 1: those struggles is what defines you. Good stuff mayby Well, 615 00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:12,520 Speaker 1: we appreciate the opportunity to hear from her. She is remarkable, dude, 616 00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:15,240 Speaker 1: she's cool, Like, I think we should just hang out later. 617 00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:17,480 Speaker 1: I want to be friends with her. Well, I'd say 618 00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:20,200 Speaker 1: you could probably arrange that. I mean, I'm a pretty 619 00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:24,360 Speaker 1: nice girl. Sometimes look to the folk at our Bureau 620 00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:27,560 Speaker 1: Health Plans when you need someone who understands the exosenos 621 00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:31,680 Speaker 1: of healthcare coverage. They've been protecting Tennessee in since nineteen 622 00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:34,520 Speaker 1: forty seven. All Right, so I'm going to hit you 623 00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:38,920 Speaker 1: with one here that will absolutely stun you. Are you 624 00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:42,280 Speaker 1: ready hey? Oh yeah, I'm ready to be stunned. Okay. 625 00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:46,480 Speaker 1: Where is Derrick Henry from July? And that is where 626 00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:51,360 Speaker 1: north of Jacksonville, worth of Jacksonville. He is getting ready 627 00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:57,840 Speaker 1: to play his fifth game at Jacksonville since coming to 628 00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:00,400 Speaker 1: the Titans. Do you know he's never had a hundred 629 00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:04,280 Speaker 1: yards in Jacksonville? No, that can't be right. Well, so 630 00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:07,920 Speaker 1: I was looking at this. He has carried the ball 631 00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:12,000 Speaker 1: fifty three times for two hundred six yards and two 632 00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:16,279 Speaker 1: touchdowns and caught three passes for twenty four yards in 633 00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:20,360 Speaker 1: four games at Jacksonsville. So he had more rushing yards 634 00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:23,280 Speaker 1: on the Thursday night where he went off and scored 635 00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:26,520 Speaker 1: the four touchdowns then he had I guess it was 636 00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:29,000 Speaker 1: two years ago. He had more yards in that game 637 00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:32,040 Speaker 1: that he's had in the four games at Jacksonsville. So 638 00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:36,680 Speaker 1: he has never played a Derreck Henry type game in 639 00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:41,160 Speaker 1: his hometown. But what's so funny is that everyone thinks, 640 00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:44,359 Speaker 1: and even me myself in my brain, I'm like, oh, 641 00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:46,839 Speaker 1: Derrick Henry's going to Jacksonville, He's going to have a day. 642 00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:51,000 Speaker 1: He never has. He had fourteen carries for ninety two 643 00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:55,600 Speaker 1: yards in a game there two years ago, played pretty 644 00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:59,800 Speaker 1: well last year seventeen carries, forty four yards. His first 645 00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:03,719 Speaker 1: game there, four carries for thirteen yards. He's never done 646 00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:06,960 Speaker 1: much there. That is so crazy, Like you did blow 647 00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:11,799 Speaker 1: my mind. So what that tells me too, he's due. 648 00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:16,040 Speaker 1: I like that he's due because because you know, he 649 00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:19,399 Speaker 1: knows he's never had a great game there. He'll never 650 00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:22,600 Speaker 1: say it. Yeah, and he's coming off a game where 651 00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:27,000 Speaker 1: he only carried fifteen times, so he should be very fresh. 652 00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:30,960 Speaker 1: I'm just saying I like Derrick Henry running mad any 653 00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:33,120 Speaker 1: day of the week. I don't care if we're at 654 00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:35,279 Speaker 1: Nissan Stadium, if we're on the road, if we're on 655 00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:38,760 Speaker 1: the moon. I like Derrick Henry running angry and coming 656 00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:42,800 Speaker 1: off of that Browns game in his hometown. I like this. Okay, 657 00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:44,759 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna throw one more at you before we 658 00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:48,359 Speaker 1: let this OTP go. Okay for the ot people, in 659 00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:50,960 Speaker 1: case they have not scanned it, I was going back 660 00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:53,239 Speaker 1: through notes this week and I found this, and I thought, well, 661 00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:56,440 Speaker 1: maybe they'd want to know this. Twenty twenty one home 662 00:35:56,560 --> 00:36:01,319 Speaker 1: and away opponents. Oh, this is why it's scheduled. It 663 00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:04,160 Speaker 1: obviously could change because at some point we're going to 664 00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:07,160 Speaker 1: go to a seventeenth game, who knows. But this is 665 00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:12,720 Speaker 1: what schedule. So right now, which do you want? First? Homer? Away? Home? Okay, 666 00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:17,080 Speaker 1: home Buffalo. Okay. I'm sure it'll be in week five 667 00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:23,080 Speaker 1: at the same time. Yeah, October thirty, So Josh Allen, 668 00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:26,040 Speaker 1: who maybe the MVP will be back. We're gonna see 669 00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:33,560 Speaker 1: two of Miami comes to Nissan Stadium, Tonguevaloa. Yep, we're 670 00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:38,080 Speaker 1: gonna see Kyler Murray Arizona comes to Nissan Stadium. You 671 00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:41,560 Speaker 1: will be really excited about this. Jimmy Garoppolo and the 672 00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:45,000 Speaker 1: San Francisco forty nine ers come to Nissan Stadium. What 673 00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:49,480 Speaker 1: a lineup so far? Okay? And so then we would 674 00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:55,439 Speaker 1: match with a like finisher from the AFC West. So 675 00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:58,680 Speaker 1: if we win the AFC South, who would that be? 676 00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:02,880 Speaker 1: I don't know, Kansas City, Patrick Mahomes. That's how I 677 00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:04,560 Speaker 1: was afraid you were going to say. I was hoping 678 00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:11,600 Speaker 1: I was wrong. So you've got Buffalo, Miami, Arizona, San Francisco, Indie, Houston, Jacksonville, 679 00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:14,440 Speaker 1: and as it stands right now, it could change, but 680 00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:19,000 Speaker 1: as it stands right now, Kansas City. Wow. Okay, Now 681 00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:23,919 Speaker 1: the road games, New England, New York Jets, Los Angeles Rams, 682 00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:27,920 Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks, and as it stands right now, like finisher 683 00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:31,520 Speaker 1: in the AFC North. So it would be Pittsburgh. I'm 684 00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:36,040 Speaker 1: knocking two stadiums off of my stadium chart. I know. 685 00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:39,520 Speaker 1: By the way, though, if you are a Titan season 686 00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:43,759 Speaker 1: ticket member, re up right now.

Titans, win one more game and we don't 689 00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:51,520 Speaker 1: just want one more win, but there is significance in 690 00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:54,320 Speaker 1: one more win. That's five straight winning seasons. You go 691 00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:56,480 Speaker 1: to the playoffs. You've been to the playoffs three times 692 00:37:56,480 --> 00:38:00,240 Speaker 1: in five years. Could win your first division in twelve years. 693 00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:02,400 Speaker 1: You got a coach, got a GM, got a quarterback, 694 00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:05,920 Speaker 1: got a run. I mean it's good team. But the schedule, 695 00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:11,120 Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, Buffalo, Miami, Arizona, San Francisco, the three 696 00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:15,280 Speaker 1: division teams and potentially Kansas City.
