Speaker 1 (00:00):
Good evening.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Hope everybody's having a good Tuesday. Mac Talk is back.
Rett Bryan back in the saddle with Coach Mack. Week
three of the twenty twenty five regular season is right
around the corner. The Titans are right back at Nissan
Stadium to host the Indianapolis Colts in the first of
six AFC South Division games this Sunday. Farm Bureau Health
plans Titans countdowns at eleven kickoff at twelve oh two
(00:24):
Central with Taylor Zarzar and the man at the Hour
that everyone wants to talk to Coach Mac.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Dave McGinnis.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Your phone calls question six one five seven three seven
one four five, We're gonna immediately go to the phones.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Eric and Nashville.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
He's always the first up on the on deck circle
to talk to coach Mac.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
What's up?
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Eric, Hey, guys, it's always supposed to talk to coach.
I just wanted to say you and Taylor did a
fantastic job on the broadcast. I was there at the
game and my Titans poncho, but I pretty much more
through the whole game. There was some cool breezes up
in the stadium, so I pretty much more the entire
game good. U good to say this, coach. I certainly
appreciated cam woods first touchdown pass exciting as all get out.
(01:06):
Uh so it more than made up for the testdown
that was taken off the board by the kid return,
which is what I wanted to talk to you about.
You know, one of the things that is so frustrating
is after the game and after I heard all this
comment comments and stuff saying well, technically it was a penalty,
or by the ledder of the law, it's a penlty.
I mean, come on home. I mean, just like everybody else,
(01:29):
I saw the replay on the Jumbo Charm, I'm sorry,
I thought it was a horrible call. It's like, what
is the guys supposed to do? I understand most of
the people that I heard comment didn't think it was
a penalty.
Speaker 4 (01:38):
There a few people said, well, when you're a bad team, you.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Can't commit penalties like that, And I'm just wanted to
get your reaction to your thoughts on the penalty. I'm sorry,
it was a great play and I thought the touchdown
should have stood. But it's just whether am I going
to do. Go Titans, guys, y'all take there, talk to
do it? Soon and looking forward to this Sunday. Well,
I'll do there again against the Colts.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
All right, Eric, all right, Eric, there's been a rule
change there, right.
Speaker 5 (02:00):
Yeah, I'm glad the poncho worked out for you. First
of all.
Speaker 6 (02:03):
I meant, now, we're a little bit worried about you
going in there. No, it's gonna be hot, but you
made it work, so that's very very good.
Speaker 5 (02:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (02:11):
Look, when they've changed the whole kickoff thing, and they
changed the way that you can you can block. You
can't block initially, you can't. You can't throw. You can't
throw a block with your shoulders. You've got to stick
your you got it, stick your hands out. That's just
the way it is. That's what they call once once
they started this new because it was it wasn't a
(02:32):
crack back block per se. Because he hit him, he
hit him face up. He hit the guy, He hit
the guy face up. But you can't you can't. You
can't run through somebody blocking like that with your shoulders
in this new in the any in any kick punt
or the kickoff.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
And that's important to note because I think the initial
call from the official.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
I think he missed.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
I think he did not describe it correctly as far
as what the offense was. But I was over at
Ascension the same time a sports park, and in fact
you were over there at the same time. John Fossil
said after he looked at the film, the call was
correct because he had blocked him into with his shoulder
against the boundary, and so the call was correct. Originally
(03:23):
thirty three to nineteen, the Titans fall to Los Angeles.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Rams.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Eric talked about the first touchdown in the career of
both cam Ward and Elchio Manor that was that was
something to behold just because it took so long to develop.
I think next gen stats had him at over eight
and a half seconds to make the throw, which is
one of the longest times the throws I think since
next gen stats have been around. But there aren't many
(03:50):
people mac that can make that kind of throw.
Speaker 6 (03:53):
Well, no, I mean, you've got to have a hoes
attached to your shoulder. I mean, it's just it was.
It was amazing, plus the presence of mind to do it.
But look he was he was out of the pocket.
He was forced out of the pocket. The thing that
he did do, though, is he kept his eyes down
the field. He never ever took his eyes off of
(04:15):
trying to find somebody. And they work, they work scrambled drill.
You know, in practices during the week, they have a
time where they worked.
Speaker 5 (04:22):
They work scrambled drill.
Speaker 6 (04:24):
The thing that's important is is that is it?
Speaker 7 (04:27):
Is it?
Speaker 6 (04:28):
Io Manor also stayed in phase with him. Io Manner
never ever ever gave up on the play, and you
could you could see when they made when they made
a visual contact that the quarterback camp gave him the
move just keep going. But to be able to physically
able to throw that ball from one sideline across your
(04:51):
body to the opposite pyelon that was I mean, really seriously,
I've been in this league a long long time and
I've seen some guys that could really spend the football.
But the other thing was that ball traveled a long
distance and it didn't take very long to get there.
I think it surprised the dude that was trying to
(05:13):
cover Elik too. He was surprised Forbes Forbes and he
was he was. He was surprised that the ball got
there that quickly, because normally a ball like that has
to have a lot of air under it. That didn't
have a lot of air under it. I mean that
thing was still on as much of a on as
much of a launch as you could throw it. I
mean it was. It was impressive, just because just to
(05:37):
knowing the dynamics of what it takes to be able
to do that.
Speaker 5 (05:40):
Now, I would rather they not have to do that.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Yeah, that's I was like, where's the coach Parkerman? There
it is. We don't advise that you do that.
Speaker 6 (05:49):
Yeah, I would rather they not have to do that
to be able to score that, you know, their first touchdown.
But the fact that you've got a quarterback that and
that that's one of the reasons why he was you know,
the number one pick is that he has got he's
gotten he's got a whip. We said that, you know,
just from the jump. And I think people now that
you and I get to watch him. We watched him
(06:10):
every day since he's gotten in here from the draft.
We vetted him in the draft, but then we get
to watch him every day. It doesn't didn't surprise. That
surprised me, even though, because that that not only takes
a delivery, that takes really really.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
And he threw it again.
Speaker 6 (06:26):
It was I mean, it was like a shortstop thrown
from deep, way deep.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
In the outfield, got off runner, cutting off a runner.
Speaker 6 (06:33):
I mean, it was just he just fired that thing, man,
and that was that was But I've got to give
al Manner a lot of credit on that one too,
because that was a even though it was thrown across
the field, that was a true trans continental shot. Is
that there was someone on him, so he had to
he had to be able to make It wasn't so
much a combat catch, but it was. It wasn't it
(06:56):
was a contested catch because there was somebody there. So,
I mean, the whole thing was, like you heard me
on the radio, the only thing I could say was
wow when.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
You were laughing to and Daner was making the call, Yeah,
because it was.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
It was a joyous thing.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
But You're like, I, I can't really believe what I'm seeing.
Speaker 5 (07:14):
I can't.
Speaker 6 (07:15):
I can't believe that that he just did this and
they both just did that, which you know, makes you
feel good about the future. As far as because this
young draft class has got some players in.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
It, it absolutely does. It absolutely does.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Let's go back to the phone sixty one five seven
three seven one four five Mark and Nashville, you're on
with coach Mack, what's up?
Speaker 8 (07:36):
Hey, thanks for taking my call. Mark, So hey, coach mix.
Speaker 9 (07:41):
So a couple of things. Number one, why do you
think it's.
Speaker 8 (07:46):
So hard for us to get into a rhythm and
stay in a rhythm offensively? I no, penalties are dry
killers sometimes, but we have three announced without penalties.
Speaker 7 (07:57):
Okay.
Speaker 9 (07:58):
And then you know, Brian Callahan is not proven that
he can make any sort of second half adjustments or
change his game plan in the second from last year
this year.
Speaker 8 (08:12):
So I love you get your thoughts there.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
All right, Mark, thank you for the call. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (08:16):
First of all, there are no adjustments made at halftime.
All adjustments in the National Football League game are made
series by series on the sideline.
Speaker 5 (08:26):
That's why they have those pads.
Speaker 6 (08:28):
Everything is adjusted because you don't have time in the
National Football League. You have time in collegiate football maybe
to get on the white board. You've got thirteen minutes
from the time they kill the clock at halftime.
Speaker 5 (08:41):
That's counting thirteen.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Minutes into the locker room.
Speaker 5 (08:45):
Get to the locker room, get everything that you don't have.
Speaker 6 (08:48):
You have maybe eight minutes, you know, so all of
your adjustments now what you do have, you've made adjustments
on the sideline during the game, you can put those
on the ball. I mean I used to do that
all the time, put those on the board that you'd
gone over on the sideline. But you don't have time
to make massive adjustments. So that's the halftime adjustments are
(09:11):
a misnomer.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
All right.
Speaker 5 (09:12):
Let me ask in the National Football.
Speaker 6 (09:14):
League's that that's number one. Number two is the three
and outs You cannot you cannot, And they've had they've
had way too many, way too many procedural penalties that
make it. They've had very few first and tens. When
you really start looking at their series, it's they've had
(09:36):
first and fifteen. They've had nine procedural penalties that puts
you at first and fifteen. You can't start out behind
the chains. And I've said this for two weeks now.
They've had so much trouble on third and double digits.
If you'll listen to me on the broadcast, every time
it's third and double digits, you can't get there because
(09:57):
I just called too many defenses in this league. And
if I've got a team that's always in third and
double digits, I Am going to turn the dogs loose
up front. Stand my coverage back there at the sticks
and just make them throw make them throw it in
front of it, because you don't have time to launch it.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Deep.
Speaker 5 (10:15):
That's the biggest problem.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
We're gonna go back to the phones in just a second.
How much has the technology with Microsoft surface tablets having
those things, how much is that aided being able to
make adjustments on the fly instead of the miss uh
the misnomer that there's a halftime adjustment.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
It's got to be a huge help.
Speaker 6 (10:36):
Well, yeah, because you can do it immediately and it
and it sorts it for you immediately.
Speaker 5 (10:40):
It's what goes on.
Speaker 6 (10:41):
The only thing that you don't have is the live
tape rolling on the sideline, right, that's what you don't have.
You still get eight screenshots of it, but you can
it sorts it for you immediately as a point of attack,
and all of those types of things used to be
when we would take a polaroid, it would look like
World War II bomber that you'd take it from up top,
(11:03):
you know, and you'd get.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
It and it was printed out on something like fact paper.
Speaker 5 (11:06):
It was fact paper.
Speaker 6 (11:07):
Then you'd have to look at it and and try
to see, you know, at THETT at the you take
one right prior to the snap, in the middle of
the stap after the snap and try to discern how
things were that.
Speaker 5 (11:19):
That was hard to do, but we all did it now.
Speaker 6 (11:22):
The other thing that has been a huge difference was
the but the communication in the helmet. Communication in the
helmet of the quarterback came first, and defenses were still
using smoke signals to get their their their signal scene.
And then finally the defense got that. That cleaned up
a whole lot of stuff too. But this whole halftime
(11:45):
adjustment thing, uh, people need to understand.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
There's a lot of smoke there. It's not smoke mirror.
Speaker 5 (11:51):
There's there's there.
Speaker 6 (11:53):
There's no discernible adjustments made at halftime in the locker room.
Speaker 5 (11:58):
You just don't have time.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
All right's come back to the phones here. Joe in Nashville,
thanks for waiting. You're on with coach Mack.
Speaker 7 (12:04):
Coach Mack, thanks for taking my call. This is Joe Shields.
I have a question about that that young quarterback's arm
and how strong it is. How you get a man's
arm that strong? Is it lifting weights or I know
herschel Walker did a lot of push ups and I
from East Texas. And there's some boys out there that
do pulp wood hauling and they don't ever they don't
(12:27):
ever lift. Yeah, they're strong as.
Speaker 6 (12:29):
A bull, you know, Joe Shields. It's good to hear
from somebody from East Texas.
Speaker 7 (12:35):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (12:35):
First of all, it's not so much strength, it's like
he's got and I'm sure if you're from East Texas
you know exactly what a bull whip is.
Speaker 5 (12:44):
You know how you crack a bull.
Speaker 6 (12:46):
Up and it's just a little bit of a little
bit of snap of the wrist, but all of a
sudden it makes that real loud popping sound like a
thirty odd to six going off.
Speaker 7 (12:54):
Well, yes, sir, I still got I got one of
those bull whups.
Speaker 6 (12:57):
Well that's it's this is pure East Texas right here.
Speaker 5 (13:06):
This this guy has got.
Speaker 6 (13:07):
He has got a short stop arm, a big league
shortstop arm. He can throw, He can throw everything except
you know, it doesn't have to wind up. And so
we just need to get in a little protection and
we'll have some fun with this quarterback.
Speaker 7 (13:20):
Appreciate you call Joe, Yes, sir, thank y'all.
Speaker 6 (13:23):
Joe Shields one of the best East Texas has to offer.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Here's the thing that I think Mack is saying, Joe
is some people God has blessed with a rubber band
for an arm. I think about one of my favorite
pitchers in Major League Baseball that made the transition across
the line after Jackie Robinson broke through it. That's Satchel Paige,
(13:47):
Satul Paige. I don't think they ever really knew his
true age. And when he was a rookie with Cleveland Indians,
I want to say he was forty three four something
like that. They think he might have even been older.
And he pitched in some exposition games, if you will,
on up into his sixties, and he had a rubber band,
(14:08):
and you know, in those old leagues like that, they
were double headers every day and whatever. He just sling it.
It's it's that's the correlation I think about when I
think about cam Warden, this that he's got extra stuff
a lot of people don't have.
Speaker 6 (14:25):
Yeah, well, I mean it's just you know, it's it's
it's it's God given, because I mean it is, it's
really something when you see it in person, you know,
for the first time, and you and I, you and
I get to watch, as I said, practice every day
and we knew that coming in. It's like that, but
just I mean, it's just a whip is the best
way to is the best way to put it. I mean,
(14:47):
the other guy that had it, that had an arm
a whip like that was Brett Favre. I mean Farv
didn't take very long to just I mean, and and
again it's a it's a god given uh physical trait.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Absolutely all right, more of your phone calls and reaction next,
we'll also talk about the Indianapolis Colts that are up
on deck next in week three for the Titans at
Nissan Stadium on Sunday. As you listen to Mac Talk,
six one five, seven three seven, one oh four to
five is the number you'd like to dial to talk
to coach Dave McGinnis. And we're going to go back
to those phones, Dylan in Nashville. You're on with coach Mac.
Speaker 10 (15:22):
What's up, hey, guys, Coach Mack. I'd really just like
the first off, say thank you so much for being
a part of the Titans organization. You give the fans
something to listen to. It's a wealth of knowledge.
Speaker 7 (15:31):
Man.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
I really appreciate you.
Speaker 6 (15:32):
Well, DL, And that's very kind. Of you, and and
thank you for being a loyal fan. I mean, all
reason Rett and I do this show is for fans
like yourself, So thank you.
Speaker 10 (15:43):
Well, I did want to ask you. You've got plenty
of experience. You know, you talk about breaking down the
season into into quarters and it's a little harder for
seventeen games now, but after these first four games, we're
really going to know what this team kind of looks like.
You know, do you think that the all defensive line
will actually be able to gel within these first four games?
(16:04):
And what are some of the drills that if your
hogs back in the day were kind of messing up
and getting penalties like they're doing now, what were some
of the drills that you'd throw your guys through to
hoping accountable. And my last question I'll kind of post
to you and I'll hang up and listen, is I
have a lot of excitement about cam Ward, but my
biggest fears that it might turn into another Marcus Mariota
(16:26):
situation where he has to learn five different offenses within
four years. You know, I really really hope for some
consistency for this guy going forward. So I don't know,
I just touched on that maybe I'll just hang up
and listen. Guys, I really appreciate you. Thanks, Janko christ
I'm cooping my powder dry, all right.
Speaker 6 (16:44):
There you going, Dyln, thank you so much again for
listening and thanks for calling in. Look, the offensive line's
got to get be together first for anything that happen.
Right now, we're missing the entire right side of our
offensive line. If you'll remember, early on Ret and I
both said this on this show and also on a
lot of the other programs that we're on. When the
(17:06):
season ever started, you know, people would ask, how do
you think this offensive line is going to be? And
I said, if they can keep this original five together
for a length of time, then they've got a chance
to do something. Well, that didn't last for a week
because now, I mean you were missing two out of
the five to begin with.
Speaker 5 (17:27):
We waited for Cushionberry to get back, and he made it.
He made it back.
Speaker 6 (17:31):
But now we're missing the whole entire right side from
guard to tackle. So I don't know when those guys
are going to be back. And that's number one. Number
two is is you're so razor thin right now, just
the way this roster is and It's just it's inevitable
because of all the changes you've been through. You're so
(17:52):
razor thin that the people that are playing behind the starters,
they're not going to be the same. So you've got
to do some things differently. And at the end of
the day, you can't put yourself in bad situations as
I keep talking about talking about the offensive line, where
you're giving yourself third and chains, where a defense all
they've got to do is line up in track stances
(18:13):
and come after you and play defensive backs back there
at the sticks. You've got to be able to stay
ahead of the chains with this offense to even give
anybody a chance to do what they've got to do.
And look, sooner or later, everybody across that front is
going to have to stand up and win one on one.
You know, you can't help everybody at one time. But
(18:36):
until they can get all five of them there together,
I can't tell you how this this offensive line is
gonna come together because they haven't been together long enough yet,
they really haven't.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
And then his.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Second question was about concern that cam Woard's gonna have
to learn under different coaches.
Speaker 5 (18:56):
Look, here's the thing you've got to win ball games.
And that's for.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
Every production based business it is.
Speaker 6 (19:02):
It's a production based I mean, that's the that's the
business you know that I've been in for thirty nine years.
That's the business that everybody that's involves themselves in the National.
Speaker 5 (19:13):
Football League is in.
Speaker 6 (19:15):
And so in other words, to keep continuity, you've got
to win ball games.
Speaker 5 (19:19):
That's just it.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
Back to the phone as we go, Bill and Bellevue,
you're up next on mac Talk.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Here's coach mac Hey.
Speaker 4 (19:26):
Guys, appreciate both, y'all, Hey, Bill, appreciate SI. But my
question is, Coach mac is I sawt with Matthew Stafford.
He got rid of the ball like it's like two
point three second, something really crazy fast. But then you'
got velocity like Joe Milton when he was at UT
(19:49):
I mean UT alone, Like the's just throwing piss missiles everywhere.
And you know, Vloste is important that touched to. Is
there like a certainly golden ratio of like what you
want as a you know, for your quarterback. I mean,
because the homes is kind of crazy with the way
he throws stuff into different coverages. I'll hang up and listen,
(20:13):
but uh.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Hey, before you do, Bill, Are you talking about the
sweet spot for time to throw for your quarterback and
all of that?
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Is that what you're asking?
Speaker 4 (20:25):
Well, which one fight the most important?
Speaker 3 (20:27):
Like?
Speaker 4 (20:27):
Is having like a two second two point five second
time where that ball's weaving your hand or is it
more or less like the touch you put or is
it the blosting and some guys, I mean, I remember
hearing back in the day JaMarcus Russell when he was
drafted out of LSU. He could throw it on his
(20:47):
knees and almost throw eighty yards.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Yeah, all right, Well we're gonna get back to answer
your question. Bill.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
We appreciate you calling.
Speaker 4 (20:56):
All right, guys, appreciate y'all.
Speaker 5 (20:57):
Thank you, Bill.
Speaker 6 (20:58):
Look for quarterbacks that come in all different shapes and sizes.
Speaker 5 (21:03):
But the thing that for an offense to.
Speaker 6 (21:05):
Move effectively, quarterbacks have to be on time and they
have to be accurate. And those are those are the
two things. On time and accurate. There's a lot of
different ways that they throw it. There's a lot of
different ways you can throw it. The amount of time
that you have to throw it depends on the type
of route that you are running.
Speaker 5 (21:22):
It depends on the type of defense. That people are deploying.
Speaker 6 (21:25):
It depends on whether you're talking about a three or
five or seven step drop, depends on whether it's a
play action, It depends on the depth of the routes,
all those things. But timing and accuracy is what you're
looking for with quarterbacks, and that's the that's the first thing.
And a grasp of of being able to process things quickly,
(21:47):
that's what you're That's what you're looking at. I mean,
arm strength is arm strength. You know, there's a difference
between armed strength and arm quickness. There's a huge, huge
difference in that you have the strongest arm in the world,
but if you have to wind up to do it.
And also the other thing is if you're you can
throw it as hard as you want to.
Speaker 5 (22:09):
If you're not accurate, it makes no difference.
Speaker 6 (22:11):
So timing and accuracy is what you're looking for in
your quarterback.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
And what Bill was alluding to, He's right because we
talked about this in Titan's Countdown Sunday that Matthew Stafford
in the previous week average time to throw was just
to tick over two point four seconds, is his third
fastest delivery of the ball game as a RAM since
he'd been there and now he's what fourth season, fifth
season as a ram so I mean, he's right about that,
(22:36):
But you're also talking about a quarterback little different style,
seventeenth year super savvy vet.
Speaker 5 (22:42):
He's thirty seven.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Years World championship like you know, he's thirty a master's
degree in that.
Speaker 6 (22:47):
So he's thirty seven years old. He understands exactly you
know what he's seeing. I mean, there's nothing like time
on task for any players in the National Football League.
You can't manufacture the experience, but a quarterback just look
at what's going on. I mean, you see a lot
of reclamation projects with quarterbacks because they've been able to
soak for a while to the nuances of what it
(23:10):
takes to play quarterback in the National It takes more
than a strong arm.
Speaker 5 (23:14):
I promise you that.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Yep, Don in Columbia, you're up next with coach Mac.
What's happening?
Speaker 11 (23:20):
Well, I have a history question back, Okay, Donald, I'm
a little older than you are.
Speaker 5 (23:29):
Hello, Okay, go ahead, go ahead.
Speaker 6 (23:33):
Uh.
Speaker 11 (23:33):
Back in the late fifties early sixties, I used to
pick up LSU night games and they always call the
defense the Chinese bandits. I was wondering if you knew
where that came from and what happened to it.
Speaker 6 (23:49):
To it, Yeah, absolutely, I had one of the came
don hey don, So I've been at this a while.
One of my coaches at TCU named Andy Bougois was
the receiver coach. In fact, he became a receiver coach
for the Houston Oilers.
Speaker 5 (24:04):
He was a part of the Chinese Bandits.
Speaker 6 (24:06):
He was, he was a part of that group, and
it was a defensive group that went in and they
were they substitute of the entire team, the entire group,
uh for substitute for a defense. They went in all together,
all together at one time, like a fire drill, like
a bunch of like a bunch of bandits, you know, pirates,
you know, coming off a ship. That's why they called
(24:29):
them the Chinese Bandits. And Andy Bougeois was a member
of the Chinese Bandits, and he he would tell us
a lot of stories about that group. But I am
very very familiar with it and knew one of the
Chinese Bandits, parsonally in Andy Bourgeois.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Of course Mac did. That's the six degrees of coach Mac.
He knows pretty much everybody or somebody who knows somebody
who knew somebody. Folks, if you ever thought about, uh,
what the passion is going to be like from Taylor's
ars er, you heard it right there.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
There's there.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
I mean, he's in vested and he gets excited, just
like we all do. And what a fantastic play that was.
Pitch catch, but that you can.
Speaker 5 (25:09):
What I was enjoying myself too.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Yeah, absolutely, now one handed catch.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
Three plays before that that we've also played there there
was a twenty three yard X play that took them
down first and goal at the nine. Elichaia Manor, we
talked about cam Ward. You mentioned this rookie class. Elichai
Manor and cam both are are starting to come of
age a little bit right in front of us.
Speaker 6 (25:31):
Well, I mean we've enjoyed watching both of those guys
ever since they got here. I mean, you know, we've
been talking about them, but it's hard to explain it
before people get to see it. But we get to
see it every day at practice. You know, you could
see these two guys coming on and plus here's they
work at it. Both of these young guys work.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
I mean, Manuel Forbes got to see it.
Speaker 5 (25:53):
Up close I mean it anyway.
Speaker 6 (25:55):
I mean, there's just the whole thing needs to start
coalescing and come together so that you know, everybody, everybody
would be will be happy well once those wins start coming.
But those those two young players right there, just like
the rest of this draft class, there's a lot going on,
you know, beneath the surface that I mean.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
And you just need more of those. You need more
more of those, and that will start to cure a
lot of things. By the way, did you see where
Sean McVay tore his planner fascia in one of his
feet coaching that game.
Speaker 6 (26:26):
Yeah, well I saw him limping on the sideline. I
mean he was, he was sprinting down for some time.
Time out anyway, I mean, he'll be all right though
he's still he got the win. He's still young enough
he'll live through it.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
When we come back, we'll talk about the next opponent,
the Indianapolis Colts at two and zero and leading the
AFC South Division. We'll look at some of the games
in Week three in the sklate and the schedule as
it pertains to the NFL Week three, and we'll talk
about our friend Mike Keith, who will be inducted as
the nineteenth member of the Titans Ring of Honor at
halftime on Sunday, I should correct myself. The Indianapolis Colts
(27:03):
come to town on Sunday mackets the first of six
AFC South Division games in twenty.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Twenty five for the Titans.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
Colts are off to a two and oh start and
pretty close game on Sunday at Lucas Oil Stadium, a
battle between them and the Denver Broncos. And if it
weren't for DeAndre Tillman's leverage penalty at the end that
turned a sixty yard try and a miss into a
forty five yard try, that might be one in one.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
It doesn't matter because they're two and zero. They haven't
punted a single time in the first two games. You
have ten I think they have ten straight scoring drives.
Speaker 5 (27:39):
Yeah, well, I mean you've got their offensive stats there.
Speaker 6 (27:41):
You might want to go through those that they're pretty
impressive right now after two weeks.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
Let's take a look at that right now.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
So for the offense, let me find my notes here standby.
Speaker 5 (27:55):
To start out with it.
Speaker 6 (27:56):
If you've gone two weeks and the na's the football
league and have it punted, things are going pretty good
for you.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
Indeed, four hundred and forty five and four to forty
five and a half yards per game in offense, that's
number two in the league. Six and a half per
play that's number two in the league. Hundred and sixty
one point five on the ground three in the league.
Four four to nine per carry that's number thirteen in
the league. Two hundred and eighty four passing yards per
(28:22):
game that's tied for second. Nine yards per passing play
number one in the National Football League, forty six percent
on third down that's tied for six thirty one points
per game average, and the giveaway takeaway turnover margin plus four.
Speaker 6 (28:41):
Yeah, so that's why they're two and zero. I mean
you're looking at I mean, you're looking at just blank
stats when you start looking at that as to why
they're two and oh, it's pretty self explanatory.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
And the stars of it.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
Daniel Jones five hundred and eighty eight yards, two touchdowns,
snow interceptions, one and eleven passer rating. Dathan Taylor is
back to doing Jonathan Taytor things. Forty three carries, two
hundred and thirty six yards, five and a half per carry,
and then he's got some catches out of the backfield
in this but they have two receivers already in double digits,
the rookie Tyler Warren from Penn State eleven for one
(29:15):
hundred and fifty five. That's a fourteen point yard one
yard per catch average and ninety three yards of that
one fifty five mac are yak yards.
Speaker 6 (29:24):
Yeah, and he's a tight end, so everybody knows he's
a tight end.
Speaker 5 (29:28):
That I mean that.
Speaker 6 (29:28):
Look, there's a reason they're two and oh it's because
their offense is Jim Rummy.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
Right now, Michael Pittman junior ten for one twenty and
a score, Josh Downs eight for sixty three. So anyway,
there's there's a lot of the reasons why at this
and their defense still has some I mean, Quitty pay
on the edge, Laatu Latu, we'll see whether he's.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
Available or not. He's got an ankle that he's dealing with.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
But the big middle of that is always for the
last handful of years has been Grover Stewart and DeForest Buckner.
And two hundred and sixty seven and a half yards
per game allowed. That's top five ninety eight on the
ground rushing. That's number twelve in the league. One sixty
nine and a half through the air, that's top ten,
that's seven in the league. Five to five six per
passing play, that's eight in the league. Forty seven percent
(30:14):
on third down. That's not as good that I'm hopeful
by that, but only allowing eighteen points a game. That's
just outside the top ten in this So you know,
we'll get to your keys here in a few minutes.
Let's talk about what's going to happen at halftime, and
that is our friend Mike Keith, the now voice of
the Tennessee Volunteers, will be the nineteenth member of the
(30:35):
Titans Ring of Honor. And it is literally an honor
because for you do not have played the game, and
to be a contributor like this and be in that
ring says you've done special things. And Mike did special
things for twenty seven seasons for the Tennessee Titans.
Speaker 5 (30:53):
Well, he absolutely did.
Speaker 6 (30:54):
I mean, he is you know, he he is the
reason that Titans Radio has a standard that it has
not only in this market, but in the National Football
League market. You know, when you know nine years ago,
when Mike Keith hired me to come in here to
do this. He made it very well known that the
standard has got to be upheld regardless of who's speaking
(31:17):
into the microphone for Titans Radio. And you could tell,
I mean I could tell immediately just you know the
professionalism that this that Titans Radio was set up with,
and it was all Mike Keith, and Mike Keith set
a standard I think for all of us that. I mean,
you've been with him the whole time. Amy Wells has
been there with him that I was. I was with Mike,
(31:39):
you know for eight years. I mean it just it
it's you can tell a difference when something has set
apart from the rest of them, and he set Titans
Radio apart from the rest of them. He's in the
Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame, he's in the Tennessee Broadcasting Hall.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
Of Fame, but in the Tules Double A Hall of Fame.
He's in the Battleground Academy.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
I mean, he's I think he's a member of like
five hall of fames. But you're right, and I'll underline
it with this.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
That wasn't some self service thing as we are elite
and we do.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
He did it for one reason. Titans fans deserve good product.
Speaker 6 (32:15):
That's what he said, and that's the whole thing. That's
what he told me when I came in here. He said, Mac,
you were a really good coach for this franchise and
did everything you could for the fans. We do everything
that we can for the fans here at Titans Radio.
That's the only reason that we exist. And you know,
you take it to heart and you you understand it.
And so I think get Amy, Adams, Strunk and Kenneth
(32:38):
and I mean the organization a lot of credit for
being able for putting him in the Ring.
Speaker 5 (32:45):
Of Honor immediately because he belongs there. He belongs there.
Speaker 6 (32:48):
You can't really tell the history of the Titans in
Nashville without bringing up Mike Keith's name.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
No, you can't. You can't.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
And I'm looking forward to seeing him his reaction, seeing
what he has to say. We'll carry a good chunk
of that during halftime.
Speaker 6 (33:05):
You know that he's going to be gracious and he's
going to be just like I mean, we've been to
some of his inductions in his Hall of Fame ceremonies
and it's it's never about him. I mean, he's always
he's always deflecting any type of praise and always thanking
everybody that's around him. But at the same time, I mean,
he was a leader in this and you have to
(33:25):
you have to recognize that absolutely.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
All right.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
So it's Week three in the National Football League. Let's
take a look around the league at some of the
games of interest. First of all, in the division, obviously,
Indianapolis comes to Tennessee to take on the Titans, and
then the rest of the division. It's also a week
three division matchup. Houston is at Jacksonville and Houston got
after the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last night, but a well
(33:50):
executed two minute drive by the Buccaneers and and that
was a different story. But Houston has those pass rushers
that keep you up at night.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
Yep.
Speaker 6 (34:02):
Well, I mean that's you know. It's gonna be a
division game. So you got to both of them lose.
I asked this every year. Can both of those lose?
Speaker 5 (34:09):
Well they can't, so quit asking.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
Okay, good, all right.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
Miami is at Buffalo. Buffalo seems to have just keep
trucking in this Miami. I don't know what to think
about them. That starts Thursday night. Don't think about Miami exactly.
Speaker 1 (34:27):
Green Bay is at Cleveland.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
Cincinnati is at Minnesota, and Minnesota is the walking wounded
all of a sudden, Aaron Jones.
Speaker 6 (34:34):
When you see what happens, I mean they've lost their
two offensive tackles.
Speaker 5 (34:37):
You saw that very clearly.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
If JJ McCarthy has a high ankle sprain, Aaron Jones
on IR.
Speaker 6 (34:43):
It's once you start losing those big guys up front,
you got a problem.
Speaker 5 (34:47):
No matter who you.
Speaker 1 (34:47):
Are, it becomes difficult.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
Absolutely, Rams at Eagles noon on Sunday.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
That should be a good game.
Speaker 6 (34:54):
Yeah, well, did Sel McVay better strap up that planer
fascia with that thing, because I promise.
Speaker 5 (34:59):
You the Eagles are. The Eagles are in a different
level right now.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
How about the Broncos and Chargers in an AFC West
matchup at so Far.
Speaker 6 (35:08):
That's a big, big, big game. Absolutely, that's a huge
game for both of those teams.
Speaker 1 (35:14):
Dallas at Chicago.
Speaker 2 (35:16):
Chicago trying to get off the snide after losing last
Monday night.
Speaker 6 (35:21):
Well, I think Chicago's probably given up enough points for
the season for last week.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
So Arizona at San Francisco, Kansas City at New York Giants.
That is the Sunday night game and the Detroit at
Baltimore next Monday night.
Speaker 6 (35:37):
Now that's a couple of heavyweights right now after two
weeks in the season going at each other there. So look,
we're starting to get into starting to get into the season,
and the deeper you go into the season, the more
meaningful these games.
Speaker 1 (35:49):
Get Pittsburg at New England.
Speaker 2 (35:52):
Now that's a couple of hard nos coaches in a
couple of hard nos areas that usually have pretty good football.
Speaker 5 (35:59):
Teams out and they and they both need to win.
Speaker 2 (36:02):
They absolutely do. Atlanta is at Carolina. Uh, New York
is at Tampa Bay.
Speaker 1 (36:11):
What else?
Speaker 2 (36:11):
We got the Las Vegas Raiders at Washington Commanders.
Speaker 1 (36:16):
That is one to watch.
Speaker 2 (36:18):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (36:18):
What did I fell asleep before that doubleheader last night?
Speaker 10 (36:22):
What?
Speaker 1 (36:22):
Uh? Who won that that second game last night?
Speaker 5 (36:27):
Not the Raiders?
Speaker 1 (36:28):
Not the Raiders? Okay, very good. I went to bed,
So I can't I can't speak on that.
Speaker 2 (36:35):
All right, So in our last minute here as is
custom what are coach Max's keys to the Titans getting
in the wind column and it being a division win
at home against the Colts.
Speaker 6 (36:46):
Well, you gotta quit self destructing, that's what you've got
to do. First of all, I mean there's you know,
you gotta you gotta take you gotta, you gotta take
out the pre and post snap penalties.
Speaker 5 (36:56):
You just can't do that.
Speaker 6 (36:57):
You gotta you gotta keep yourself in better situations offensively
on third down, and then defensively, you got to strengthen
the run defense. You can't let them continue to run
the football late in the ball games like these last
two teams have read. You just can't and Balins Fossil
has got to keep this special teams group playing like
they're playing.
Speaker 1 (37:17):
Absolutely. We remind you.
Speaker 2 (37:18):
Tennessee hosts the Colts Sunday at Nissan Stadium.
Speaker 1 (37:22):
Countdown to kick off is at nine.
Speaker 2 (37:23):
We're on the air at eleven with Titan's countdown and
then twelve oh two Central Taylor's Zarza and coach Mack

Hope everybody's having a good Tuesday. Mac Talk is back.
Rett Bryan back in the saddle with Coach Mack. Week

six AFC South Division games this Sunday. Farm Bureau Health
plans Titans countdowns at eleven kickoff at twelve oh two
(00:24):
Central with Taylor Zarzar and the man at the Hour
that everyone wants to talk to Coach Mac.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Dave McGinnis.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Your phone calls question six one five seven three seven
one four five, We're gonna immediately go to the phones.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Eric and Nashville.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
He's always the first up on the on deck circle
to talk to coach Mac.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
What's up?
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Eric, Hey, guys, it's always supposed to talk to coach.
I just wanted to say you and Taylor did a
fantastic job on the broadcast. I was there at the
game and my Titans poncho, but I pretty much more
through the whole game. There was some cool breezes up
in the stadium, so I pretty much more the entire
game good. U good to say this, coach. I certainly
appreciated cam woods first touchdown pass exciting as all get out.
(01:06):
Uh so it more than made up for the testdown
that was taken off the board by the kid return,
which is what I wanted to talk to you about.
You know, one of the things that is so frustrating
is after the game and after I heard all this
comment comments and stuff saying well, technically it was a penalty,
or by the ledder of the law, it's a penlty.
I mean, come on home. I mean, just like everybody else,
(01:29):
I saw the replay on the Jumbo Charm, I'm sorry,
I thought it was a horrible call. It's like, what
is the guys supposed to do? I understand most of
the people that I heard comment didn't think it was
a penalty.
Speaker 4 (01:38):
There a few people said, well, when you're a bad team, you.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Can't commit penalties like that, And I'm just wanted to
get your reaction to your thoughts on the penalty. I'm sorry,
it was a great play and I thought the touchdown
should have stood. But it's just whether am I going
to do. Go Titans, guys, y'all take there, talk to
do it? Soon and looking forward to this Sunday. Well,
I'll do there again against the Colts.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
All right, Eric, all right, Eric, there's been a rule
change there, right.
Speaker 5 (02:00):
Yeah, I'm glad the poncho worked out for you. First
of all.
Speaker 6 (02:03):
I meant, now, we're a little bit worried about you
going in there. No, it's gonna be hot, but you
made it work, so that's very very good.
Speaker 5 (02:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (02:11):
Look, when they've changed the whole kickoff thing, and they
changed the way that you can you can block. You
can't block initially, you can't. You can't throw. You can't
throw a block with your shoulders. You've got to stick
your you got it, stick your hands out. That's just
the way it is. That's what they call once once
they started this new because it was it wasn't a
(02:32):
crack back block per se. Because he hit him, he
hit him face up. He hit the guy, He hit
the guy face up. But you can't you can't. You
can't run through somebody blocking like that with your shoulders
in this new in the any in any kick punt
or the kickoff.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
And that's important to note because I think the initial
call from the official.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
I think he missed.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
I think he did not describe it correctly as far
as what the offense was. But I was over at
Ascension the same time a sports park, and in fact
you were over there at the same time. John Fossil
said after he looked at the film, the call was
correct because he had blocked him into with his shoulder
against the boundary, and so the call was correct. Originally
(03:23):
thirty three to nineteen, the Titans fall to Los Angeles.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Rams.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Eric talked about the first touchdown in the career of
both cam Ward and Elchio Manor that was that was
something to behold just because it took so long to develop.
I think next gen stats had him at over eight
and a half seconds to make the throw, which is
one of the longest times the throws I think since
next gen stats have been around. But there aren't many
(03:50):
people mac that can make that kind of throw.
Speaker 6 (03:53):
Well, no, I mean, you've got to have a hoes
attached to your shoulder. I mean, it's just it was.
It was amazing, plus the presence of mind to do it.
But look he was he was out of the pocket.
He was forced out of the pocket. The thing that
he did do, though, is he kept his eyes down
the field. He never ever took his eyes off of
(04:15):
trying to find somebody. And they work, they work scrambled drill.
You know, in practices during the week, they have a
time where they worked.
Speaker 5 (04:22):
They work scrambled drill.
Speaker 6 (04:24):
The thing that's important is is that is it?
Speaker 7 (04:27):
Is it?
Speaker 6 (04:28):
Io Manor also stayed in phase with him. Io Manner
never ever ever gave up on the play, and you
could you could see when they made when they made
a visual contact that the quarterback camp gave him the
move just keep going. But to be able to physically
able to throw that ball from one sideline across your
(04:51):
body to the opposite pyelon that was I mean, really seriously,
I've been in this league a long long time and
I've seen some guys that could really spend the football.
But the other thing was that ball traveled a long
distance and it didn't take very long to get there.
I think it surprised the dude that was trying to
(05:13):
cover Elik too. He was surprised Forbes Forbes and he
was he was. He was surprised that the ball got
there that quickly, because normally a ball like that has
to have a lot of air under it. That didn't
have a lot of air under it. I mean that
thing was still on as much of a on as
much of a launch as you could throw it. I
mean it was. It was impressive, just because just to
(05:37):
knowing the dynamics of what it takes to be able
to do that.
Speaker 5 (05:40):
Now, I would rather they not have to do that.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Yeah, that's I was like, where's the coach Parkerman? There
it is. We don't advise that you do that.
Speaker 6 (05:49):
Yeah, I would rather they not have to do that
to be able to score that, you know, their first touchdown.
But the fact that you've got a quarterback that and
that that's one of the reasons why he was you know,
the number one pick is that he has got he's
gotten he's got a whip. We said that, you know,
just from the jump. And I think people now that
you and I get to watch him. We watched him
(06:10):
every day since he's gotten in here from the draft.
We vetted him in the draft, but then we get
to watch him every day. It doesn't didn't surprise. That
surprised me, even though, because that that not only takes
a delivery, that takes really really.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
And he threw it again.
Speaker 6 (06:26):
It was I mean, it was like a shortstop thrown
from deep, way deep.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
In the outfield, got off runner, cutting off a runner.
Speaker 6 (06:33):
I mean, it was just he just fired that thing, man,
and that was that was But I've got to give
al Manner a lot of credit on that one too,
because that was a even though it was thrown across
the field, that was a true trans continental shot. Is
that there was someone on him, so he had to
he had to be able to make It wasn't so
much a combat catch, but it was. It wasn't it
(06:56):
was a contested catch because there was somebody there. So,
I mean, the whole thing was, like you heard me
on the radio, the only thing I could say was
wow when.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
You were laughing to and Daner was making the call, Yeah,
because it was.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
It was a joyous thing.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
But You're like, I, I can't really believe what I'm seeing.
Speaker 5 (07:14):
I can't.
Speaker 6 (07:15):
I can't believe that that he just did this and
they both just did that, which you know, makes you
feel good about the future. As far as because this
young draft class has got some players in.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
It, it absolutely does. It absolutely does.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Let's go back to the phone sixty one five seven
three seven one four five Mark and Nashville, you're on
with coach Mack, what's up?
Speaker 8 (07:36):
Hey, thanks for taking my call. Mark, So hey, coach mix.
Speaker 9 (07:41):
So a couple of things. Number one, why do you
think it's.
Speaker 8 (07:46):
So hard for us to get into a rhythm and
stay in a rhythm offensively? I no, penalties are dry
killers sometimes, but we have three announced without penalties.
Speaker 7 (07:57):
Okay.
Speaker 9 (07:58):
And then you know, Brian Callahan is not proven that
he can make any sort of second half adjustments or
change his game plan in the second from last year
this year.
Speaker 8 (08:12):
So I love you get your thoughts there.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
All right, Mark, thank you for the call. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (08:16):
First of all, there are no adjustments made at halftime.
All adjustments in the National Football League game are made
series by series on the sideline.
Speaker 5 (08:26):
That's why they have those pads.
Speaker 6 (08:28):
Everything is adjusted because you don't have time in the
National Football League. You have time in collegiate football maybe
to get on the white board. You've got thirteen minutes
from the time they kill the clock at halftime.
Speaker 5 (08:41):
That's counting thirteen.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Minutes into the locker room.
Speaker 5 (08:45):
Get to the locker room, get everything that you don't have.
Speaker 6 (08:48):
You have maybe eight minutes, you know, so all of
your adjustments now what you do have, you've made adjustments
on the sideline during the game, you can put those
on the ball. I mean I used to do that
all the time, put those on the board that you'd
gone over on the sideline. But you don't have time
to make massive adjustments. So that's the halftime adjustments are
(09:11):
a misnomer.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
All right.
Speaker 5 (09:12):
Let me ask in the National Football.
Speaker 6 (09:14):
League's that that's number one. Number two is the three
and outs You cannot you cannot, And they've had they've
had way too many, way too many procedural penalties that
make it. They've had very few first and tens. When
you really start looking at their series, it's they've had
(09:36):
first and fifteen. They've had nine procedural penalties that puts
you at first and fifteen. You can't start out behind
the chains. And I've said this for two weeks now.
They've had so much trouble on third and double digits.
If you'll listen to me on the broadcast, every time
it's third and double digits, you can't get there because
(09:57):
I just called too many defenses in this league. And
if I've got a team that's always in third and
double digits, I Am going to turn the dogs loose
up front. Stand my coverage back there at the sticks
and just make them throw make them throw it in
front of it, because you don't have time to launch it.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Deep.
Speaker 5 (10:15):
That's the biggest problem.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
We're gonna go back to the phones in just a second.
How much has the technology with Microsoft surface tablets having
those things, how much is that aided being able to
make adjustments on the fly instead of the miss uh
the misnomer that there's a halftime adjustment.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
It's got to be a huge help.
Speaker 6 (10:36):
Well, yeah, because you can do it immediately and it
and it sorts it for you immediately.
Speaker 5 (10:40):
It's what goes on.
Speaker 6 (10:41):
The only thing that you don't have is the live
tape rolling on the sideline, right, that's what you don't have.
You still get eight screenshots of it, but you can
it sorts it for you immediately as a point of attack,
and all of those types of things used to be
when we would take a polaroid, it would look like
World War II bomber that you'd take it from up top,
(11:03):
you know, and you'd get.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
It and it was printed out on something like fact paper.
Speaker 5 (11:06):
It was fact paper.
Speaker 6 (11:07):
Then you'd have to look at it and and try
to see, you know, at THETT at the you take
one right prior to the snap, in the middle of
the stap after the snap and try to discern how
things were that.
Speaker 5 (11:19):
That was hard to do, but we all did it now.
Speaker 6 (11:22):
The other thing that has been a huge difference was
the but the communication in the helmet. Communication in the
helmet of the quarterback came first, and defenses were still
using smoke signals to get their their their signal scene.
And then finally the defense got that. That cleaned up
a whole lot of stuff too. But this whole halftime
(11:45):
adjustment thing, uh, people need to understand.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
There's a lot of smoke there. It's not smoke mirror.
Speaker 5 (11:51):
There's there's there.
Speaker 6 (11:53):
There's no discernible adjustments made at halftime in the locker room.
Speaker 5 (11:58):
You just don't have time.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
All right's come back to the phones here. Joe in Nashville,
thanks for waiting. You're on with coach Mack.
Speaker 7 (12:04):
Coach Mack, thanks for taking my call. This is Joe Shields.
I have a question about that that young quarterback's arm
and how strong it is. How you get a man's
arm that strong? Is it lifting weights or I know
herschel Walker did a lot of push ups and I
from East Texas. And there's some boys out there that
do pulp wood hauling and they don't ever they don't
(12:27):
ever lift. Yeah, they're strong as.
Speaker 6 (12:29):
A bull, you know, Joe Shields. It's good to hear
from somebody from East Texas.
Speaker 7 (12:35):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (12:35):
First of all, it's not so much strength, it's like
he's got and I'm sure if you're from East Texas
you know exactly what a bull whip is.
Speaker 5 (12:44):
You know how you crack a bull.
Speaker 6 (12:46):
Up and it's just a little bit of a little
bit of snap of the wrist, but all of a
sudden it makes that real loud popping sound like a
thirty odd to six going off.
Speaker 7 (12:54):
Well, yes, sir, I still got I got one of
those bull whups.
Speaker 6 (12:57):
Well that's it's this is pure East Texas right here.
Speaker 5 (13:06):
This this guy has got.
Speaker 6 (13:07):
He has got a short stop arm, a big league
shortstop arm. He can throw, He can throw everything except
you know, it doesn't have to wind up. And so
we just need to get in a little protection and
we'll have some fun with this quarterback.
Speaker 7 (13:20):
Appreciate you call Joe, Yes, sir, thank y'all.
Speaker 6 (13:23):
Joe Shields one of the best East Texas has to offer.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Here's the thing that I think Mack is saying, Joe
is some people God has blessed with a rubber band
for an arm. I think about one of my favorite
pitchers in Major League Baseball that made the transition across
the line after Jackie Robinson broke through it. That's Satchel Paige,
(13:47):
Satul Paige. I don't think they ever really knew his
true age. And when he was a rookie with Cleveland Indians,
I want to say he was forty three four something
like that. They think he might have even been older.
And he pitched in some exposition games, if you will,
on up into his sixties, and he had a rubber band,
(14:08):
and you know, in those old leagues like that, they
were double headers every day and whatever. He just sling it.
It's it's that's the correlation I think about when I
think about cam Warden, this that he's got extra stuff
a lot of people don't have.
Speaker 6 (14:25):
Yeah, well, I mean it's just you know, it's it's
it's it's God given, because I mean it is, it's
really something when you see it in person, you know,
for the first time, and you and I, you and
I get to watch, as I said, practice every day
and we knew that coming in. It's like that, but
just I mean, it's just a whip is the best
way to is the best way to put it. I mean,
(14:47):
the other guy that had it, that had an arm
a whip like that was Brett Favre. I mean Farv
didn't take very long to just I mean, and and
again it's a it's a god given uh physical trait.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Absolutely all right, more of your phone calls and reaction next,
we'll also talk about the Indianapolis Colts that are up
on deck next in week three for the Titans at
Nissan Stadium on Sunday. As you listen to Mac Talk,
six one five, seven three seven, one oh four to
five is the number you'd like to dial to talk
to coach Dave McGinnis. And we're going to go back
to those phones, Dylan in Nashville. You're on with coach Mac.
Speaker 10 (15:22):
What's up, hey, guys, Coach Mack. I'd really just like
the first off, say thank you so much for being
a part of the Titans organization. You give the fans
something to listen to. It's a wealth of knowledge.
Speaker 7 (15:31):
Man.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
I really appreciate you.
Speaker 6 (15:32):
Well, DL, And that's very kind. Of you, and and
thank you for being a loyal fan. I mean, all
reason Rett and I do this show is for fans
like yourself, So thank you.
Speaker 10 (15:43):
Well, I did want to ask you. You've got plenty
of experience. You know, you talk about breaking down the
season into into quarters and it's a little harder for
seventeen games now, but after these first four games, we're
really going to know what this team kind of looks like.
You know, do you think that the all defensive line
will actually be able to gel within these first four games?
(16:04):
And what are some of the drills that if your
hogs back in the day were kind of messing up
and getting penalties like they're doing now, what were some
of the drills that you'd throw your guys through to
hoping accountable. And my last question I'll kind of post
to you and I'll hang up and listen, is I
have a lot of excitement about cam Ward, but my
biggest fears that it might turn into another Marcus Mariota
(16:26):
situation where he has to learn five different offenses within
four years. You know, I really really hope for some
consistency for this guy going forward. So I don't know,
I just touched on that maybe I'll just hang up
and listen. Guys, I really appreciate you. Thanks, Janko christ
I'm cooping my powder dry, all right.
Speaker 6 (16:44):
There you going, Dyln, thank you so much again for
listening and thanks for calling in. Look, the offensive line's
got to get be together first for anything that happen.
Right now, we're missing the entire right side of our
offensive line. If you'll remember, early on Ret and I
both said this on this show and also on a
lot of the other programs that we're on. When the
(17:06):
season ever started, you know, people would ask, how do
you think this offensive line is going to be? And
I said, if they can keep this original five together
for a length of time, then they've got a chance
to do something. Well, that didn't last for a week
because now, I mean you were missing two out of
the five to begin with.
Speaker 5 (17:27):
We waited for Cushionberry to get back, and he made it.
He made it back.
Speaker 6 (17:31):
But now we're missing the whole entire right side from
guard to tackle. So I don't know when those guys
are going to be back. And that's number one. Number
two is is you're so razor thin right now, just
the way this roster is and It's just it's inevitable
because of all the changes you've been through. You're so
(17:52):
razor thin that the people that are playing behind the starters,
they're not going to be the same. So you've got
to do some things differently. And at the end of
the day, you can't put yourself in bad situations as
I keep talking about talking about the offensive line, where
you're giving yourself third and chains, where a defense all
they've got to do is line up in track stances
(18:13):
and come after you and play defensive backs back there
at the sticks. You've got to be able to stay
ahead of the chains with this offense to even give
anybody a chance to do what they've got to do.
And look, sooner or later, everybody across that front is
going to have to stand up and win one on one.
You know, you can't help everybody at one time. But
(18:36):
until they can get all five of them there together,
I can't tell you how this this offensive line is
gonna come together because they haven't been together long enough yet,
they really haven't.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
And then his.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Second question was about concern that cam Woard's gonna have
to learn under different coaches.
Speaker 5 (18:56):
Look, here's the thing you've got to win ball games.
And that's for.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
Every production based business it is.
Speaker 6 (19:02):
It's a production based I mean, that's the that's the
business you know that I've been in for thirty nine years.
That's the business that everybody that's involves themselves in the National.
Speaker 5 (19:13):
Football League is in.
Speaker 6 (19:15):
And so in other words, to keep continuity, you've got
to win ball games.
Speaker 5 (19:19):
That's just it.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
Back to the phone as we go, Bill and Bellevue,
you're up next on mac Talk.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Here's coach mac Hey.
Speaker 4 (19:26):
Guys, appreciate both, y'all, Hey, Bill, appreciate SI. But my
question is, Coach mac is I sawt with Matthew Stafford.
He got rid of the ball like it's like two
point three second, something really crazy fast. But then you'
got velocity like Joe Milton when he was at UT
(19:49):
I mean UT alone, Like the's just throwing piss missiles everywhere.
And you know, Vloste is important that touched to. Is
there like a certainly golden ratio of like what you
want as a you know, for your quarterback. I mean,
because the homes is kind of crazy with the way
he throws stuff into different coverages. I'll hang up and listen,
(20:13):
but uh.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Hey, before you do, Bill, Are you talking about the
sweet spot for time to throw for your quarterback and
all of that?
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Is that what you're asking?
Speaker 4 (20:25):
Well, which one fight the most important?
Speaker 3 (20:27):
Like?
Speaker 4 (20:27):
Is having like a two second two point five second
time where that ball's weaving your hand or is it
more or less like the touch you put or is
it the blosting and some guys, I mean, I remember
hearing back in the day JaMarcus Russell when he was
drafted out of LSU. He could throw it on his
(20:47):
knees and almost throw eighty yards.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Yeah, all right, Well we're gonna get back to answer
your question. Bill.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
We appreciate you calling.
Speaker 4 (20:56):
All right, guys, appreciate y'all.
Speaker 5 (20:57):
Thank you, Bill.
Speaker 6 (20:58):
Look for quarterbacks that come in all different shapes and sizes.
Speaker 5 (21:03):
But the thing that for an offense to.
Speaker 6 (21:05):
Move effectively, quarterbacks have to be on time and they
have to be accurate. And those are those are the
two things. On time and accurate. There's a lot of
different ways that they throw it. There's a lot of
different ways you can throw it. The amount of time
that you have to throw it depends on the type
of route that you are running.
Speaker 5 (21:22):
It depends on the type of defense. That people are deploying.
Speaker 6 (21:25):
It depends on whether you're talking about a three or
five or seven step drop, depends on whether it's a
play action, It depends on the depth of the routes,
all those things. But timing and accuracy is what you're
looking for with quarterbacks, and that's the that's the first thing.
And a grasp of of being able to process things quickly,
(21:47):
that's what you're That's what you're looking at. I mean,
arm strength is arm strength. You know, there's a difference
between armed strength and arm quickness. There's a huge, huge
difference in that you have the strongest arm in the world,
but if you have to wind up to do it.
And also the other thing is if you're you can
throw it as hard as you want to.
Speaker 5 (22:09):
If you're not accurate, it makes no difference.
Speaker 6 (22:11):
So timing and accuracy is what you're looking for in
your quarterback.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
And what Bill was alluding to, He's right because we
talked about this in Titan's Countdown Sunday that Matthew Stafford
in the previous week average time to throw was just
to tick over two point four seconds, is his third
fastest delivery of the ball game as a RAM since
he'd been there and now he's what fourth season, fifth
season as a ram so I mean, he's right about that,
(22:36):
But you're also talking about a quarterback little different style,
seventeenth year super savvy vet.
Speaker 5 (22:42):
He's thirty seven.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Years World championship like you know, he's thirty a master's
degree in that.
Speaker 6 (22:47):
So he's thirty seven years old. He understands exactly you
know what he's seeing. I mean, there's nothing like time
on task for any players in the National Football League.
You can't manufacture the experience, but a quarterback just look
at what's going on. I mean, you see a lot
of reclamation projects with quarterbacks because they've been able to
soak for a while to the nuances of what it
(23:10):
takes to play quarterback in the National It takes more
than a strong arm.
Speaker 5 (23:14):
I promise you that.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Yep, Don in Columbia, you're up next with coach Mac.
What's happening?
Speaker 11 (23:20):
Well, I have a history question back, Okay, Donald, I'm
a little older than you are.
Speaker 5 (23:29):
Hello, Okay, go ahead, go ahead.
Speaker 6 (23:33):
Uh.
Speaker 11 (23:33):
Back in the late fifties early sixties, I used to
pick up LSU night games and they always call the
defense the Chinese bandits. I was wondering if you knew
where that came from and what happened to it.
Speaker 6 (23:49):
To it, Yeah, absolutely, I had one of the came
don hey don, So I've been at this a while.
One of my coaches at TCU named Andy Bougois was
the receiver coach. In fact, he became a receiver coach
for the Houston Oilers.
Speaker 5 (24:04):
He was a part of the Chinese Bandits.
Speaker 6 (24:06):
He was, he was a part of that group, and
it was a defensive group that went in and they
were they substitute of the entire team, the entire group,
uh for substitute for a defense. They went in all together,
all together at one time, like a fire drill, like
a bunch of like a bunch of bandits, you know, pirates,
you know, coming off a ship. That's why they called
(24:29):
them the Chinese Bandits. And Andy Bougeois was a member
of the Chinese Bandits, and he he would tell us
a lot of stories about that group. But I am
very very familiar with it and knew one of the
Chinese Bandits, parsonally in Andy Bourgeois.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Of course Mac did. That's the six degrees of coach Mac.
He knows pretty much everybody or somebody who knows somebody
who knew somebody. Folks, if you ever thought about, uh,
what the passion is going to be like from Taylor's
ars er, you heard it right there.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
There's there.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
I mean, he's in vested and he gets excited, just
like we all do. And what a fantastic play that was.
Pitch catch, but that you can.
Speaker 5 (25:09):
What I was enjoying myself too.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Yeah, absolutely, now one handed catch.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
Three plays before that that we've also played there there
was a twenty three yard X play that took them
down first and goal at the nine. Elichaia Manor, we
talked about cam Ward. You mentioned this rookie class. Elichai
Manor and cam both are are starting to come of
age a little bit right in front of us.
Speaker 6 (25:31):
Well, I mean we've enjoyed watching both of those guys
ever since they got here. I mean, you know, we've
been talking about them, but it's hard to explain it
before people get to see it. But we get to
see it every day at practice. You know, you could
see these two guys coming on and plus here's they
work at it. Both of these young guys work.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
I mean, Manuel Forbes got to see it.
Speaker 5 (25:53):
Up close I mean it anyway.
Speaker 6 (25:55):
I mean, there's just the whole thing needs to start
coalescing and come together so that you know, everybody, everybody
would be will be happy well once those wins start coming.
But those those two young players right there, just like
the rest of this draft class, there's a lot going on,
you know, beneath the surface that I mean.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
And you just need more of those. You need more
more of those, and that will start to cure a
lot of things. By the way, did you see where
Sean McVay tore his planner fascia in one of his
feet coaching that game.
Speaker 6 (26:26):
Yeah, well I saw him limping on the sideline. I
mean he was, he was sprinting down for some time.
Time out anyway, I mean, he'll be all right though
he's still he got the win. He's still young enough
he'll live through it.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
When we come back, we'll talk about the next opponent,
the Indianapolis Colts at two and zero and leading the
AFC South Division. We'll look at some of the games
in Week three in the sklate and the schedule as
it pertains to the NFL Week three, and we'll talk
about our friend Mike Keith, who will be inducted as
the nineteenth member of the Titans Ring of Honor at
halftime on Sunday, I should correct myself. The Indianapolis Colts
(27:03):
come to town on Sunday mackets the first of six
AFC South Division games in twenty.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Twenty five for the Titans.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
Colts are off to a two and oh start and
pretty close game on Sunday at Lucas Oil Stadium, a
battle between them and the Denver Broncos. And if it
weren't for DeAndre Tillman's leverage penalty at the end that
turned a sixty yard try and a miss into a
forty five yard try, that might be one in one.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
It doesn't matter because they're two and zero. They haven't
punted a single time in the first two games. You
have ten I think they have ten straight scoring drives.
Speaker 5 (27:39):
Yeah, well, I mean you've got their offensive stats there.
Speaker 6 (27:41):
You might want to go through those that they're pretty
impressive right now after two weeks.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
Let's take a look at that right now.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
So for the offense, let me find my notes here standby.
Speaker 5 (27:55):
To start out with it.
Speaker 6 (27:56):
If you've gone two weeks and the na's the football
league and have it punted, things are going pretty good
for you.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
Indeed, four hundred and forty five and four to forty
five and a half yards per game in offense, that's
number two in the league. Six and a half per
play that's number two in the league. Hundred and sixty
one point five on the ground three in the league.
Four four to nine per carry that's number thirteen in
the league. Two hundred and eighty four passing yards per
(28:22):
game that's tied for second. Nine yards per passing play
number one in the National Football League, forty six percent
on third down that's tied for six thirty one points
per game average, and the giveaway takeaway turnover margin plus four.
Speaker 6 (28:41):
Yeah, so that's why they're two and zero. I mean
you're looking at I mean, you're looking at just blank
stats when you start looking at that as to why
they're two and oh, it's pretty self explanatory.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
And the stars of it.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
Daniel Jones five hundred and eighty eight yards, two touchdowns,
snow interceptions, one and eleven passer rating. Dathan Taylor is
back to doing Jonathan Taytor things. Forty three carries, two
hundred and thirty six yards, five and a half per carry,
and then he's got some catches out of the backfield
in this but they have two receivers already in double digits,
the rookie Tyler Warren from Penn State eleven for one
(29:15):
hundred and fifty five. That's a fourteen point yard one
yard per catch average and ninety three yards of that
one fifty five mac are yak yards.
Speaker 6 (29:24):
Yeah, and he's a tight end, so everybody knows he's
a tight end.
Speaker 5 (29:28):
That I mean that.
Speaker 6 (29:28):
Look, there's a reason they're two and oh it's because
their offense is Jim Rummy.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
Right now, Michael Pittman junior ten for one twenty and
a score, Josh Downs eight for sixty three. So anyway,
there's there's a lot of the reasons why at this
and their defense still has some I mean, Quitty pay
on the edge, Laatu Latu, we'll see whether he's.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
Available or not. He's got an ankle that he's dealing with.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
But the big middle of that is always for the
last handful of years has been Grover Stewart and DeForest Buckner.
And two hundred and sixty seven and a half yards
per game allowed. That's top five ninety eight on the
ground rushing. That's number twelve in the league. One sixty
nine and a half through the air, that's top ten,
that's seven in the league. Five to five six per
passing play, that's eight in the league. Forty seven percent
(30:14):
on third down. That's not as good that I'm hopeful
by that, but only allowing eighteen points a game. That's
just outside the top ten in this So you know,
we'll get to your keys here in a few minutes.
Let's talk about what's going to happen at halftime, and
that is our friend Mike Keith, the now voice of
the Tennessee Volunteers, will be the nineteenth member of the
(30:35):
Titans Ring of Honor. And it is literally an honor
because for you do not have played the game, and
to be a contributor like this and be in that
ring says you've done special things. And Mike did special
things for twenty seven seasons for the Tennessee Titans.
Speaker 5 (30:53):
Well, he absolutely did.
Speaker 6 (30:54):
I mean, he is you know, he he is the
reason that Titans Radio has a standard that it has
not only in this market, but in the National Football
League market. You know, when you know nine years ago,
when Mike Keith hired me to come in here to
do this. He made it very well known that the
standard has got to be upheld regardless of who's speaking
(31:17):
into the microphone for Titans Radio. And you could tell,
I mean I could tell immediately just you know the
professionalism that this that Titans Radio was set up with,
and it was all Mike Keith, and Mike Keith set
a standard I think for all of us that. I mean,
you've been with him the whole time. Amy Wells has
been there with him that I was. I was with Mike,
(31:39):
you know for eight years. I mean it just it
it's you can tell a difference when something has set
apart from the rest of them, and he set Titans
Radio apart from the rest of them. He's in the
Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame, he's in the Tennessee Broadcasting Hall.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
Of Fame, but in the Tules Double A Hall of Fame.
He's in the Battleground Academy.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
I mean, he's I think he's a member of like
five hall of fames. But you're right, and I'll underline
it with this.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
That wasn't some self service thing as we are elite
and we do.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
He did it for one reason. Titans fans deserve good product.
Speaker 6 (32:15):
That's what he said, and that's the whole thing. That's
what he told me when I came in here. He said, Mac,
you were a really good coach for this franchise and
did everything you could for the fans. We do everything
that we can for the fans here at Titans Radio.
That's the only reason that we exist. And you know,
you take it to heart and you you understand it.
And so I think get Amy, Adams, Strunk and Kenneth
(32:38):
and I mean the organization a lot of credit for
being able for putting him in the Ring.
Speaker 5 (32:45):
Of Honor immediately because he belongs there. He belongs there.
Speaker 6 (32:48):
You can't really tell the history of the Titans in
Nashville without bringing up Mike Keith's name.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
No, you can't. You can't.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
And I'm looking forward to seeing him his reaction, seeing
what he has to say. We'll carry a good chunk
of that during halftime.
Speaker 6 (33:05):
You know that he's going to be gracious and he's
going to be just like I mean, we've been to
some of his inductions in his Hall of Fame ceremonies
and it's it's never about him. I mean, he's always
he's always deflecting any type of praise and always thanking
everybody that's around him. But at the same time, I mean,
he was a leader in this and you have to
(33:25):
you have to recognize that absolutely.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
All right.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
So it's Week three in the National Football League. Let's
take a look around the league at some of the
games of interest. First of all, in the division, obviously,
Indianapolis comes to Tennessee to take on the Titans, and
then the rest of the division. It's also a week
three division matchup. Houston is at Jacksonville and Houston got
after the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last night, but a well
(33:50):
executed two minute drive by the Buccaneers and and that
was a different story. But Houston has those pass rushers
that keep you up at night.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
Yep.
Speaker 6 (34:02):
Well, I mean that's you know. It's gonna be a
division game. So you got to both of them lose.
I asked this every year. Can both of those lose?
Speaker 5 (34:09):
Well they can't, so quit asking.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
Okay, good, all right.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
Miami is at Buffalo. Buffalo seems to have just keep
trucking in this Miami. I don't know what to think
about them. That starts Thursday night. Don't think about Miami exactly.
Speaker 1 (34:27):
Green Bay is at Cleveland.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
Cincinnati is at Minnesota, and Minnesota is the walking wounded
all of a sudden, Aaron Jones.
Speaker 6 (34:34):
When you see what happens, I mean they've lost their
two offensive tackles.
Speaker 5 (34:37):
You saw that very clearly.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
If JJ McCarthy has a high ankle sprain, Aaron Jones
on IR.
Speaker 6 (34:43):
It's once you start losing those big guys up front,
you got a problem.
Speaker 5 (34:47):
No matter who you.
Speaker 1 (34:47):
Are, it becomes difficult.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
Absolutely, Rams at Eagles noon on Sunday.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
That should be a good game.
Speaker 6 (34:54):
Yeah, well, did Sel McVay better strap up that planer
fascia with that thing, because I promise.
Speaker 5 (34:59):
You the Eagles are. The Eagles are in a different
level right now.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
How about the Broncos and Chargers in an AFC West
matchup at so Far.
Speaker 6 (35:08):
That's a big, big, big game. Absolutely, that's a huge
game for both of those teams.
Speaker 1 (35:14):
Dallas at Chicago.
Speaker 2 (35:16):
Chicago trying to get off the snide after losing last
Monday night.
Speaker 6 (35:21):
Well, I think Chicago's probably given up enough points for
the season for last week.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
So Arizona at San Francisco, Kansas City at New York Giants.
That is the Sunday night game and the Detroit at
Baltimore next Monday night.
Speaker 6 (35:37):
Now that's a couple of heavyweights right now after two
weeks in the season going at each other there. So look,
we're starting to get into starting to get into the season,
and the deeper you go into the season, the more
meaningful these games.
Speaker 1 (35:49):
Get Pittsburg at New England.
Speaker 2 (35:52):
Now that's a couple of hard nos coaches in a
couple of hard nos areas that usually have pretty good football.
Speaker 5 (35:59):
Teams out and they and they both need to win.
Speaker 2 (36:02):
They absolutely do. Atlanta is at Carolina. Uh, New York
is at Tampa Bay.
Speaker 1 (36:11):
What else?
Speaker 2 (36:11):
We got the Las Vegas Raiders at Washington Commanders.
Speaker 1 (36:16):
That is one to watch.
Speaker 2 (36:18):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (36:18):
What did I fell asleep before that doubleheader last night?
Speaker 10 (36:22):
What?
Speaker 1 (36:22):
Uh? Who won that that second game last night?
Speaker 5 (36:27):
Not the Raiders?
Speaker 1 (36:28):
Not the Raiders? Okay, very good. I went to bed,
So I can't I can't speak on that.
Speaker 2 (36:35):
All right, So in our last minute here as is
custom what are coach Max's keys to the Titans getting
in the wind column and it being a division win
at home against the Colts.
Speaker 6 (36:46):
Well, you gotta quit self destructing, that's what you've got
to do. First of all, I mean there's you know,
you gotta you gotta take you gotta, you gotta take
out the pre and post snap penalties.
Speaker 5 (36:56):
You just can't do that.
Speaker 6 (36:57):
You gotta you gotta keep yourself in better situations offensively
on third down, and then defensively, you got to strengthen
the run defense. You can't let them continue to run
the football late in the ball games like these last
two teams have read. You just can't and Balins Fossil
has got to keep this special teams group playing like
they're playing.
Speaker 1 (37:17):
Absolutely. We remind you.
Speaker 2 (37:18):
Tennessee hosts the Colts Sunday at Nissan Stadium.
Speaker 1 (37:22):
Countdown to kick off is at nine.
Speaker 2 (37:23):
We're on the air at eleven with Titan's countdown and
then twelve oh two Central Taylor's Zarza and coach Mack
right here on Titans Radio. Joseph Bonano for producing and
for coach Day McGinnis.
Speaker 1 (37:35):
I'm Red Brian. We thank you for listening to Mac
