up baby, And we are the Titans Fan Battle Podcast. Thank you for
joining us tonight part of the Fan Battle Sports Network. And tonight we're gonna
talk about a few things we've We're gonna talk about our defense. It's the
main topic for tonight. So we're gonna we're gonna start off basically just listen
off. Who we think are gonna be starters? You want to start with
that, Yeah, Who I think gonna be stars? Well, of course,
I mean, first of all, let me say defense was probably our
strongest part of the team last year. I mean, our defense is the
rock of the Titans, always have been. So I mean, hey,
we just gotta keep building on what we got, and of course our star
player on defense, it's Big Jeff Man. We finally got Big Jeff locked
up. He got a big bag now so that he can go out there
and play. Even though last year they kind of say he had a down
year, but come on, man, the man play Andrew he was,
he was. He gave us a great he gave us a great effort last
year, even though you know, we were struggling in some places on the
field. Everything wasn't together. But hey, Jeff, big Jeff, We're
gonna start a big Jeff defensive line. I'm loving our front seven man,
our front seven. It is probably gonna be a again. It's probably gonna
be one of the strengths of the team. We got Big Jeff at the
defensive tackle. I mean, come on, you know we can't go wrong
with the we got. We bring it back tierre Tart. You know,
we sat resigned him today. So now he got a bag, so now
he can go out there and you know play. I mean, everybody played
better when they got a little money in their pocket, you know what I'm
saying. So when when the bag is there, you're more comfortable. You
know, you can buy your house at Nashville, and uh yeah, I
mean you come, come get some sacks. And also, you know,
last one, not at least, we got de Nico Autry, Man,
de Nico Ultry. Hey, he is the X factor on the tightest defensive
line. Man, that guy is clutch. I mean him and Big jumps
together. You know, that's two Mississippi State players. They jailed so good
together, like that's just gonna be a good dynamic team. And I said
last one, not at least, But how can I get forget about the
man who got the real bag? Harold Landry? You know what I mean,
a lot of people forgot about Harold Landry, you know because he was
out last year towards ACL before the season started. But come on, let's
not forget about what he did the year the year before last with those twelve
sacks. Now, Man, that guy he's a monster. Man, he's
so fast coming off at ball. And if I mean, you know,
they try to say, you know, he he might not, he might
not be what he used to be off the ACL, but don't count.
Don't count Harold and out man. So yeah, also on that front,
seven we gottauh, We got so we're gonna move to the like the linebackers.
Man, we gotta what about the sign the signy that we got from
San Francisco Bear Whitman. As I say this dude name a Zis, I'll
shier. A lot of people are liking that guy. They say he all
around the ball. He's pretty fast for a linebacker. He got pretty good
speed. And we're gonna need him to replace I lost when we lost David
Long Junior. That was kind of a big loss. So if he can
give us you know what David Long gave us, plus a little bit more,
a little bit speed, be in the backfield, a little bit more,
you know, no more miss tackles. We're gonna be all right.
Another linebacker were ranging well was not bringing back, but another one I beg
signings Art and key Man. That's that's probably the defensive player I'm most excited
about. Like that dude is explosive man, like seen we seen what he
did to us against when we played against Jacksonville last year. That dude is
a playmaker. What do you think about Art and key Max, Well,
I just I just love not only do I love his play um, you
know, and and and the what I've seen in Ota so far, but
his moxie, the way he carries himself, his attitude, you know,
just I love that kind of player, that dude that just loves to show
up play football. Yeah, and then I mean, we're bringing back a
player who, you know, I can't say he's a spectacular player, but
he's solid and I just want to see him keep getting better and better.
Monnie Rice, you know, he's you know, right now, he's projected
to be our starting inside linebacker. I mean, as far as tackling Montie
Rice was pretty college. You know, he doesn't give up a lot of
big plays. I don't really want to see him covering a lot of these
tight ends that we struggle with. But I do want to see him inside
those gaps, filling those gaps, tackling those running backs and helping these guys,
you know, on defense, so that that's like the defensive line.
Uh I miss h And don't forget Rashan Weaver. He's a nice he's a
nice depth, depth guy that we can use on both ends. We can
plug them in somewhere because he had a he started off last year having the
decencies and it kind of slowed down at the end. But he's a nice
plug and play guy on that defensive line that can make big plays. And
uh yeah that our front of seven is definitely my favorite part. Don't be
my favorite part of the defense. What you got for us, Matt Oh
absolutely absolutely, And I have to give a shout out to money Rice because
you know, I'm a Georgia fan, so I really want Money Rights to
do well. But we'll see. Yeah, as far as they as far
as the backfield goes, the cornerbacks, cornerbacks gonna be. I think the
outside is gonna be Christian Fulton and Sean Murphy Bunting. Okay, I think
he's gonna win the starting spot on the other side over Shorter. I mean,
I don't know. Look, I'm not saying the Christian Fulton is like
a Christian Fulton slash Roger McCreary. Yeah, that's what I was gonna say,
but because personally, I think I kind of like Roger McCreary just a
little bit better than Christian Fulton. But I mean I've only seen one year
Roger McCurry, and I mean, so we're gonna see what he can give
us. He gotta be on someplace. I thought the guy was solid overall.
Just don't throw no grig maybe or no none of these third fourth strings
cornerbacks out there, but go ahead. Yeah, yeah, no I don't.
I don't want to see none of that neither. But yeah, that's
who I've gotten, you know, he's obviously I've got if I had fault
and as a starter, I've got mccordy as my slot or vice versa,
either way that works out. Obviously the safeties are locked down, Hooker and
Byed they're not going anywhere. Um, and then I'm going to kind of
hopefully, let's say hopefully, now Byron better get his ass to practice a
mini count soon, so we'll say as mini count, buddy, he'll be
there. I got faith in him. I got faith to my boy,
man. I don't. I don't worry about Kevin Byrd. He takes care
of business, and he's a hometown man. He's from Mayor murfas borrow Man.
And besides, I love saying mayon murphras borrow. It just rolls right
off the tongue. Man. If they take him away from me, I'm
gonna be so mad because I just love talking about the maryon murfras yeah,
yeah, I love him. Man. I gotta sign Keivin by a Jersey
So I'll be sick if that guy wasn't to be a Titan, but he'll
be here. We ain't got nothing to worry about. Yeah, all right,
yeah, yeah, Well I've talked about that later. Uh. I
mean, I am going to talk quickly about the special teams kind of goes
with the defense, but not really um main and returner. Um they have
him as Kyle Phillips. I don't know if I really trust Kyle Phillips should
be returning my balls. I mean, I'm just gonna be honest with you.
You know, now, if he if he looks really solid in preseason,
all right, maybe you know, you give him a shot and let
him go. But if he don't, Man, I really feel like Taj
Sharp is gonna be our probably gonna be returner. He's definitely the kick returner.
He might be the punt returner too, because he is just explosive everywhere
on the field and I feel like they're gonna give him a lot of opportunities
to have the ball, and I feel like this that's just the way it
is. So at this point, man, we do for somebody explosive on
the kicker in the punt return game. And like for years, the Tide
have been lacking somebody with that explosiveness. Now, you know, if I
thought we had a couple of years ago when we plugged the Dory Jackson in
there, but he just didn't pan out, I mean then and then he
became a risk for injury, so they quit using him as much. But
man, please let Taija Spears evolved into that playmaking on plan and keep returnment.
We need it. Yeah, I agree, but I'm gonna address that
real quick. Uh, Michael, don't worry about that so much. The
turnover at linebacker is because Mike Vrabel was a linebacker and he coaches amazing linebackers.
That's why I'm kind of upset with my boy money Rice, because if
you can't earn a starting spot or develop into a great linebacker under Mike Vrabel,
then you have a serious, serious problem. Yeah. I agree.
So safety is not the same thing, so we don't I don't think we
have to worry about him interfering with safety as much as he does as he
does with with that. Thank you, I love you, dear um uh
so um. As far as the puncher goes. Everybody knows we got the
best punter in the NFL. Maybe not the best, but he's got the
biggest leg. If the guy can start aiming him punts, he's gonna be
the best punter. We got him locked down for years to come. I
hope that's right. Stone House, stone House, mad dude got leave here.
And the last thing is a kicker. I want to talk about kicker.
Uh. The kicker is a story actually I did on fan battlesports dot
com. If y'all ain't, if y'all ain't went there, go check them
out. They got some great stories on every team in the AFC South.
You can look up your enemy or your friends and anyway. Uh kicker situation.
Basically, trey Wolf has not missed a kick in OTAs yet. Everybody
is penciled in Caleb Shudick as the starter automatically on the depth charts that everybody's
put out. But I leave that Trey Wolf has already kind of wedged his
way in there simply because Wednesday we got a report that we did not see
Ryan should k at all. He did not get an attempt. There was
no word on injury or anything. Like that, and then I looked it
up and he wasn't. He wasn't there on Friday either, So they don't
done shoot up gass for the curve. I mean it sounds it sounds like
it, So I think I think Trey Wolf might have already wedged his way
in there, and I hope not. I hope they keep the competition going
because the more competition the better. But you know, hey, whatever,
I take either one of them over fat Randy. So as long as we
got fat Randy about it, I take even one of those young guys kicking
the ball man. So uh, you know, I don't know if anybody
watches my my little reels that I did before I started this podcast with my
boy here. Um, I'm a huge fan of Colton Dale. I really
believe that the kid is going to be something explosive, and honestly, I
see him at the beginning of the season. I don't see him getting a
lot because he's a rookie and stuff, But I see him towards the end
of the season. I think they might even start lining him up opposite of
Treylon Burke's at wide receiver number two spots. He's one of those guys that
I mean, he had, he had such a good, productive college career
that the transition to the pro should be kind of easy. Like and you
know, we don't run, we don't run a real hard offense to ruin.
You know, basically, it's play action. You know, we probably
got the less the probably the smallest route tree in the NFL, you know
what I'm saying. So, hey, if Colon dal can go out there
and just get a little separation, he's a pass catcher, like you said
last week on last show, and don't forget what he don't forget what he
did the UT and they had pro style corners of pro style defense. If
Coldendal can just give us a little bit of separation off that line from the
corners and give Tannehill the smallest window and catch the ball, and he's gonna
he's gonna have a good career here as a Titan, whether it's Tannehill throwing
the ball or Will Levis or Malik Willis or whoever it's gonna be. Yeah,
Yeah, that's a that's a good point. Um, so it's speaking
of Will Levis um or Well, now let's not do that. I'm sorry,
let's let's go into our legends segment. Do you want to go first
this time? Or do you want to let me in the legend, the
legend, the legend? I go first this time. I think you went
first last week? Right? Yeah? Yeah, So last week I had
a defensive player. This week I had to transition to offense. We gotta
We got a handful of Titans legends on offense, but all we went with
the one, the only tight end, Frank White chick baller. When I
say ball, Frank Whicheck was a bowler man. He was so reliable.
Like when Steve mcnow needed to get a first down and the wide receivers wasn't
open, it seemed like Frank Wycheck always got open. He wasn't the fastest
guy, he wasn't the biggest guy, but it was something about his athleticism,
how it was set up, he always got open. So his career
with the Titans, this isn't his full career, This is only his stats
with the Titans. He had four hundred and eighty two receptions. He was
a three time pro bowler. In two thousand, he was an All Pro.
So he played with the Titans from nineteen ninety five to two thousand and
three. So as I said, he got four hundred and eighty two receptions
four thousand, nine hundred and fifty eight yards in twenty seven touchdowns. And
when it comes to receptions, he caught the ball sixty eight point four percent
of the time. He didn't drop the ball. When I say reliable,
Frank Witcheck was liable. Man number eighty nine always seem to get open.
And don't forget he was the one who made the past on the Music City
Miracle. He was the first track. He was the first one who the
ball went to, and he made the past to Kevin Dyson to make the
play. Shout out to Frank Watchi. He was calling Titan games with Mike
Keith for a while, but I think he had to take a step away
from that. But yeah, man ay, as a Titans fan, you've
got to know your legends man, and Frank Watchick was definitely the if He's
definitely one of, if not the best tight end in Titans history. Man.
Shout out to Frank Watchick. Yeah, yeah, honestly, yeah,
that's one of my favorite players. I think he is probably the number one
tight end in Titans history. Um, I mean Delaney Walker's a close second.
Yeah, I was gonna say, yeah, the type of player he
was, I liked him better because of his you know, I like the
attitude and I like the kind of the cocking his. Plus I actually met
Delaney Walker and got his autograph, and he was actually a really cool guy.
Like I was amazed at how down to earth he was. Yeah,
he seemed like a real pretty cool guy. So and they everybody loved him
as a teammate. So yeah, I can see, you know what,
I can even see why some people say he was the best tight end.
He know, they picked him over Frank Waichick because I'm not sure of Delaney
Walker stats, but he might be real close to Frank Waichick and he might
even have more touchdowns. I'm not sure, but I know it's close though.
Yeah. Yeah, he's got really really close stats to Frank. I
don't think he got the yardage like he said, but I do think he
might have either tied him or beat him out on the touchdowns just because Delaney
Walker is like a touchdown machine. But anyway, Frank Waicheck is what you
were talking about. Frank Waichick is a Titans legend. Frank Waicheck was the
man. Yeah he was. He was the man. Frank watchicka who you
got for us on defense? Max? All right? Man? Uh for
me, it was easy. Uh my wife's favorite player. Um Keith Bullock
Okay, mister Monday Night, yes, sir man all right. And the
reason they called him that is because he was famous for getting interceptions on Monday
Night football. And one of the last seasons he was with US, he
was on a Monday Night game and they were the announcers were even calling him
mister Monday Night because it was so well known at that point. And he
had three interceptions in that game. Folks. It was beautiful. It was
almost like mister Monday Night was on fire man. That was again that was
against the Saints, right, I do believe it was? Yeah, good
memory. Wow, Yeah, that was a good game, man. Yeah.
Yeah, I think you're I think you're right, Dan, I didn't
look that up a real Tightan fan, man, he talked to a real
Tightan fan. That's not all. And I get out out out with it
on Titans. Um. He played for US for nine years. Um.
He was six three two forty fourty Ranny four four forty out of out of
college. Yeah, six yeah, Syracuse yep. Um Man had four of
the Titans. He had one thousand and fifty seven tackles, eighteen sacks,
fifteen forced fumbles, nineteen interceptions, and six touchdown receptions as a linebacker.
Y'all, when I talk about a quarterback, we're not talking about safety.
He's a linebacker. Put some respect on his name. Shout out que Bullers
buck is Man. Yeah, he definitely one of my favorite Titans of all
time. And he definitely allives some quick fun facts about Keith Bullock and what
an awesome player, what an awesome Titan, and won an awesome uh Tennessee
representation if he is uh. Twenty twenty three, he was announced Tennessee Hall
of Fame and ductee. UM. In O two, he became the starter
for the Titans. OH three, he made his first Pro Bowl one year
UH. Oh four, he led the NFL and tackles with one hundred and
fifty two tackles. UM. Sorry, yeah, I know that's a lot,
man, that's crazy. Uh. In OH seven, he had a
Titans record five interceptions for a linebacker. That's the Titans record. And he
led the Titan and tackles for five years out of his nine year career.
UM. He also UH in twenty twenty, he just opened a Just Love
Coffee in Franklin, Tennessee. If you haven't been by there and you're in
the area, you should go visit it UM because a lot of the proceeds
go to UM, the big brother and Big Sister of Tennessee. He does
a lot for the underpridled youth in middle Tennessee. Still to this day,
lives right here in Franklin. It's a great man. I love Keith Bullet
legend, legend man. Shout out to Keith bullock Man. Definitely one of
the best linebackers we ever had. Can you go ahead and say the best
linebacker we ever had in Titans history? Brother? Like, yes, I
think so. Yeah. I mean I just had to think yeah, because
we don't have some good linebackers, but Keith Bullets up. Ever, you
gotta give it to Keith Bulleck. I'm thinking you got another fun fact that
I didn't include in my look up, but I just know. But he
was the first player to retire from the Titans from the Titans franchise. Okay,
yeah, shout out to Keith Bullock Man Number fifty three. Monday missed
the Monday Night football. Man. Hey, legend, And like I said,
if you're gonna be a Tightess fan, you gotta know your legends.
Man. We got Frank White check on offense and my boy Max came with
keep Bullock on defense. Legends. Man, y'all keep looking out for this
legends segment. Man. We having it every week, that's right. And
for all you young fans out there, I'm gonna continue to tell you if
you don't know who these people are that we're talking about, go google them
YouTube watching videos, some highlight views. You'll see some bad hitting football.
I was back in a day football. Yeah. Yeah, the show when
Nissan, when Nissan Stadium was called that Delphia Colison. You learn some stuff,
man, that's right. That's why that well, there's all kinds of
stuff to the to the Nashville area that show Greek stuff. That's why we're
the Titans exactly. Um, So let's go ahead and just move on into
our next segment. Our next segment is gonna be a new segment that we're
trying out. It's gonna be the fan question segment. So our fan question
of the week. Um actually a good question too. I mean it's a
questions a lot of people want to know. Yeah, it came from a
gentleman. I'm trying right now as fast as i can to get his name
up because I didn't have it ready. But I'll go ahead and say the
question, and I'll go ahead and let you answer while I find it.
Uh. It basically is Levin's gonna start this season at any point? Ull?
Okay, so we can't. So the question came from Being Sawyer.
Shout out to Being Sawyer for having the question. Thank you. The fan
question of the week. His question was, I'm curious, what do you
think about how long they'll keep Levi this out if the season doesn't seem to
be going well in borderline playoffs? Sure? Sure? Is it a sure
bet to sit out the whole year? Or do you think at some point
they'll wrote a die us to get into the playoffs. That's a good question.
That's a good question being and right now. Yeah, come on,
many, that's that's a good question being in right now. I mean,
everybody want to know that question, because I mean, truthfully, our quarterback
position is not said in stone. We don't know if the Titans are gonna
roll with Ryan Tannehill, or we don't know if Tannehill might get chipped off
at any moment for a couple of players, and we might just roll with
Will Levis. But personally, I said this on the first show. Personally,
I think we should ride it out with Ryan Tannehill. We're paying that
man the arm and the leg. Nobody's gonna take over that contract from Tannehill.
Nobody's gonna pay him. Well, we're paying him. Let's ride it
out with Ryan. He was he was injury last year and we didn't provide
him the offensive line to make plays. So let's you know, we built
the offensive line back up. Let's let's rock it out with Ryan Tannehill.
But you said Will what we're gonna do about Will Levis? I feel like,
honestly my opinion, I don't think Will Lepis will see the field that
much this year. I feel like, if, and that's if Tannehill stays
healthy. I'm saying big if, because I mean we know he had to
ankle injury. He says he's feeling enough better, he's one hundred percent.
But I don't think if if Tanehill's playing good like he has the whole time,
he's been here. I mean, because you know, you say,
say what you want to say about Tannehill regular season to dude balls out.
I mean, he doesn't make a lot of mistakes. He wins games.
He puts us into position the best position to win games. Last year,
you had a lot of people calling for Malik Willis, calling for you know,
Ryan to be bench to trade. That would have been the absolutely wrong
decision because Tannehill definitely gave us the best chance to win every game. And
you know, of course, you know you're gonna have games where he throws
in the segens, he's gonna fumble. I mean, hey, we didn't
have offensive line at all last year. We have Dennis Ainley out there and
protecting this blindside, and we had we were rotating guys in. Man,
listen, give Tannehill a offensive line, a strong offensive line, dependable offensive
line. Let him sit back there and make plays. As long as tannehills
back there and making plays getting the ball to the receiver, what's doing what
he's supposed to do. We won't. I don't think we'll see will Levis
decision. And that's and that's the longest Tannehill's you know, not injured.
I don't even think if Tenni Hill starts stinking it up, I still don't
think they're gonna throw Will Levis in. That's just my opinion. I feel
like we're gonna ride this thing out with Tanny. I mean, this is
you know, it's probably his last year. So you know, we're gonna
ride it out with Tannehill. We're gonna get that money we paid. We're
gonna get that up out of his ass. We're gonna get We're gonna we're
gonna get that money out your ass, Tanny. So we're gonna put you
out there. We're gonna, you know, hopefully, you know, you
and Trading Burke's you know them built the report. You and the other receivers
and built the report, and y'all gonna bring, you know, a nice
offense. We got you a couple of decent weapons. Tannehill is gonna be
the man being. To answer your question, I don't think Will Levice sees
the field at all, if any even if at all this season. I
don't think he's gonna touch the field besides preseason. That's that's barn. Tannehills,
you know, doesn't get into injured. Yeah, I just think Will
Levis is gonna sit back, learn from Tanny, and be prepared to see
Will Levice the year after this year. What about you think about that question?
Man? Yeah, no, I thank you pretty much nailed it.
I mean, unless unless we trade Tannehill, or Tannehill gets injured, or
we just absolutely stink this year. Uh. I'm just saying, you know,
it's a possibility. Yeah, I really feel, you know, and
I think I want to cover that in our next show, but I don't
want to leak out to my But basically, I think we have an opportunity
to get to eleven twelve wins. And I know a lot of people say
I'm a homer about that, but I can explain it all out perfectly for
you, and if you tune in next week you'll find out why. But
um, the the thing is is if it doesn't work out for us like
I think it will, then we're gonna just bomb. I don't think we're
gonna be mid at all. I think we're either gonna be ten eleven wins
or five four wins. We don't want to be eight or nine wins.
Eight or nine wins. You're saying we're gonna be up here. We're gonna
stink. We're not of that out of the middle of the road stuff,
man, because honestly, you don't want that. That's that's purgatory for the
NFL because that's where you pick. You don't get crapp in the draft.
I mean, it's it's just a bad place to be, you know what.
You absolutely right, because it really hurts when you in the middle of
the road. But her it does. Her words, we gotta go through
through a whole season the only winning one of two games, Like you gotta
kind of ask yourself what you're willing to put up with. Are you willing
to suffer a season to get a good draft pick, or are you willing,
you know, to be okay and just keep being okay? You know
what I'm saying. And I kind of think that's where the Titans being for
a long time. We're just being okay you ever since John Robinson came.
He didn't take us to the next level. But we've just been good enough.
So I mean, to get those players, that's gonna put us over
the hump. We're gonna have to suck a couple of years. I mean,
that's just what it is. We're gonna have to suck, and we're
gonna have to you know, draft higher. I don't want to suck.
I hate losing, man, I hate losing. So I can't say I
want us to suck, but I do want us to eventually get those franchise
changing players, those drug burrows, those um who else is it? Uh
No, Lamar Jackson's, you know, a couple of other players that you
know, instantly turn your franchise into a winner. So I don't want us
to be a bottom feeder because that's where the Jacks belong. And I don't
want to be down there with the Jacks. But like you said, Hey,
like you said, he's gonna be it's either gonna be Boom or bus
And I kind of see that, man well, And I like Newsome point
here too. You know, that was another point I was gonna make his
Vrabels not afraid to change quarterbacks. We saw that, you know what I
mean, When Mariotta was getting paid all that money and Ryan Tannehill came over
on that trade and was making low money before we gave him a big deal.
You know, he switched him out real quick, and he didn't have
no problem with that he saw the best chance to win and went with it.
That's why I like about Vrabel. But so there is that, and
there's another one here that I want to address, Brown Chubby Bear. If
will Levis kills it in the preseason, then I think obvious answer is trade
on for running Tannehill and go with Will Levis. I don't tell you who
we need to trade. We need to trade fucking Malik Willis. We need
to see if anybody wants that guy. We need to get a pick or
and maybe a line into something like that. Let's just ship him off.
But Derek disagrees with you. Yeah, Hey, hey, hey, dude,
he's not it. I'm sorry, personally, he's not it. Man.
He's a good athlete. He can run around, but he's not gonna
sit in that pocket, go through his throw, through his projections and make
the right pass. He doesn't have it in him. He's gonna Who ad
vents you on Marcus Mariota, that's exact. Yeah, Mariota was way more
talented than his his attitude, the way Marcus Mariota is very nonh Yeah,
I don't care, man, I don't care. It's cool. Everything's cool.
That's that's not how quarterbacks are. Man, Yeah, quarterbacks coming the
room, you know it. Yeah, Hey we lost, Everything's gonna be
okay. So yeah, I mean I can see what people saying, like,
you don't draft the quarterback is high as we drafted Will Levice for him
to see. But you also don't pay a fucking quarterback twenty seven million for
him to sit either. So if I feel like, if Levis kills it
in preseason, you gotta just evaluate is he gonna kill it in the regular
season against the starters? Like man come home and like, I really feel
like Tannehill just keeps and keeps getting disrespected. I don't I don't understand the
Tannehill hate. The man hasn't done anything but ball since he's been into the
seat. Well, I think most of the hate comes from the post play.
The man, listen, he comes from Wayne game, the fucking Bengals
game. Man, I still have I still have fucking nightmares about the game.
I'm sure all the fuck other Titans fans still have nightmares about the game.
That was our year. I don't even want to go into all that
because that was our year. I mean, that was our team. Our
defense had fucking nice such should make me mad when I think about the game.
And I will say in in Ryan Tannehill's defense, because everybody knows I'm
on defense about Ryan Tannehill. I could either he could come or go.
I don't care. But yeah, as far as in defense of him,
the Bengals that year intercepted a record I think it was like sixteen or nineteen
interceptions in the postseason. Their their their, their backup bunch was just right.
They accepted the fucking first pass of the game. But read this right
here from mister Newsom here. Did you watch the handoff that they did with
Maliki Willis moved the tight end. I don't want that man to the ball.
I mean he can, yeah, I've seen the phone ball. Butterfamer
he bob he Man. Listen. Look, I'm not a hater Malik Willis,
but yeah, it's just not It's just not it. Man. Last
year was a terrible year to draft uh quarterback and John Robinson did it.
He did it. He went and got will Levis when he probably should have
gotten somebody else. But I said, will Levis, Malik Willis. Malik
Willis is just not eat guys. I know a lot of people like him
because he's real likable. I met him in person. He's a good,
cool dude. He's not ever gonna be the tightest franchise quarterback yet. And
it's a red listen, It's a reason they drafted Will Levis after drafting Malik
with his next It's a reason we had to go sign Josh Dobbs to play
in the playoffs. And he started, and he started, and Malik when
he still didn't touch the field. He's not it, guys. The Titans
don't think he's it. Brabel doesn't think he miss Amy doesn't even think he's
it. She loved him, she loved him as a player, as a
person. But he's not gonna be the one that takes us to the super
Bowl. Shit, he ain't even gonna take us to the the postseason.
So sorry, Malik with us. I know everybody keeps saying you're forgotten.
You're just not it. I'm sorry. Yeah, the last thing I'm gonna
say about Malik is, uh, he just he just not You're all right?
Yeah, yeah, you covered he just saint it it. But let's
cover this one here from Derek. Derek says, why is there so much
hate on our wide receiver corp. I don't think it's hate. Derek is
kind of like it is what it is. Yeah, it's kind of it's
kind of being realistic. Now, I mean, who do we have.
We got Trayling Ursus, Traylon Ursus, I'm number one. We will see
you. What has he done? I mean he had a very sub part
year as a rookie. He was hurt. Uh, I mean, how
can you just hype that up? I mean, what do we have that
you can honestly look and say, Man, he's gonna fall next year because
of what he did last year. I have a lot of hope for Traylon.
I do have to say that just because he was injured a lot last
year, I will give you that, and the asthma thing I think kind
of held him back and he looked he looks a lot better this year.
I will say that already. You know what I mean, just seeing him
move around and practice last year, he was Yeah, he was sluggish last
year, man, And then there was that picture of him like been over
with his holdings and all that. You know. So, but I think
trailing honestly, Yeah, I think there's a lot to hype up there about
Trey Lion. I don't you know, people want to compare him to AJ
Brown, and I think that's where the unfairness comes in. Yeah, I
mean not every not every wide receiver comes out. It's like a J.
Brown. You know, a J. Brown is something special. I mean
he's not like super special, but he is something special. Yeah, And
I mean I don't know that he said. I mean he said, hey,
I mean who else is it? I mean Nique Westbrookie Keena? Yeah,
who is the guy? Yeah? Zactly. And then we got like
Jacob Copeland and then we got to start going into Colton down and honestly,
honestly, Derek, to ask you a question, I don't think it's a
lot of hate. It's just a lot of unproven Yeah. I mean it's
just unproven. I mean it's a lot of people that just don't know.
Bro. Like, it's like it's unproven. So it's not a lot of
confidence going into it. You can't honestly say, man, how wide receivers
like on a ball next year? You can't say that and be real,
like be confident that we're gonna ball out. We all, as Titans fans,
we all hope and pray did Trey Lion Burks turned into the come did
he come out and turn into a J Brown type receiver? Have good stats
and you know, be up there with the other receivers in the NFL.
But come on, man, we don't know that. You know. You
know what's crazy about this is I actually I think I started the whole thing
on this on the on the social media thing because I wrote the story about
it, and then I tweeted it and posted it, you know, and
then all of a sudden, like a week later, I just started seeing
that everywhere everybody was talking about how there Abel had more touchdown receptions than our
what and I thought it was hilarious, and you know that's that's great.
Listen, Honestly, the most proven receiver we got on our if we're talking
about production, the most proven wide receiver that we have on our roster right
now is Derre Henry. If we're talking about production, like, Phillips had
more fumbles than Burke's hand receptions. That's why rons he was getting no respect.
They haven't earned any exactly, they haven't earned it. Phillips to say,
hey, I'm a big fan of Kyle Phillips. I'm gonna be the
first to tell you I really got high hosts for that kid. I want
Phillips to come out and be Wes Welker point two. But listen, he
has to prove it after last year. You know, he came out and
showed little glimpses, but he got to prove it. Morocco says. Our
group of our receivers may turn may not turn out as bad as some of
us making it out to be. But the handling of the situation by the
tight by the tightness, honestly why people feel it is the group good group.
And you absolutely right, Morocco. I mean with the with the aj
bach I a Joe Brown trade first and then us not signing braining any good
players in like after we shift aj Brown off, we drafted or we drafted
A Trading Burkes, we drafted Kyle Phillips. But what else have we done,
man, Mike Exactly. You know, until until they do something in
the NFL, nobody's gonna give them any respect. And everybody says that,
you know, like, uh, there's a lot of people out there that
will say that Nwi doesn't get enough respect for what he's done for the Titans.
But there's a I love showing these OTA videos to point out the differences
of players because I'm a coach. That's what I do. I coach players,
so I look at little things I see, like hip movement and stuff
like that. There was a video that all three wide receivers come out,
did it? Cut caught the ball and then or cut run back through a
set of cones and caught the ball, and all three wide receivers did it.
You saw Burke's first, then you saw Nwi, then you saw Phillips
and in that clip. I even posted it on my social media. If
y'all want to check it out, go ahead fan Battle page too. It's
obvious that there is a major difference in between Burk's and Phillips's agility, speed,
burst off the line, the cut, I mean everything, The way
they dig everything is just one hundred percent better than Nwi. He looks like
a big slow He looks like if I was out there trying to do what
these wide receivers were doing next to these guys. I was so surprised that
we resigned him, Like I understand that he's one of those guys, is
like dependable. He was there, he was out there. You know they
say, you know, your best attribute is your accessibility. You know the
quote they always used, you know, you gotta be out there, And
he was out there. He made a couple plays he had at that one
big game who I think it was against Denver. We had like one hundred
and fifty yards two toul It's not gonna happen again. Guys like I don't
even see nwas the number two, the guys a number three like he shouldn't
on any other team with legit receivers. He liked three or four. Honestly,
y'all. The only reason we know Nick Westbrook and Kennan's because he played
for the Titans, Bro, And we sucked at why we suck at building
where receivers like, it's just a curse we got, Bro. That's why
I was so angry about a j. Brown tray We finally draft a top
tier receiver, Like we finally did it, John Robinson, you did it,
but you didn't You shipped them the fuck off, Bro, and then
you dropped the ball on the trey Lin Burke's pick where we don't know that
yet, but if Trayon Burks doesn't turn out to be at least half away
a j Brown was then you dropped, You dropped the ball, John Robson,
and I know you don't and I know you don't give a fuck because
you got fired. But yeah, Burk's percentage of downs play will tell,
will tell the tale on our wide receivers. If he's missed forty percent of
the plays, and our games again, our past games in trouble definitely,
and especially if we don't sign another receiver or bring another Legiti receiver, and
we're in trouble again. And I feel so fucking bad for Tannehill because he's
gonna suck. He's gonna suck. Who who is he gonna throw the ball
too? And then y'all gonna be all on Facebook put Levis in? Who
the fuck is Levin's gonna pass the ball too? Bro? It's not it's
not gonna be on the quarterbacks. The Titans have to address this wide receiver
position, bro. And that's why we sit back and we're hoping pray that
Colten down. It's good. We hope Kyle Phillips had you know, bounces
back tray line birs does what he does, because it's gonna fall back on
our quarterback and it's gonna fall on our offense and hopefully, just hopefully we
can just through out the Chig every play and chay Lion Burds. Don't forget
about Chig. He's almost like a wide receiver, y'all, So we can't
use that guy. He's explosive, So I mean, we forget about him.
When we're talking about explosive. Shout out the Chig. Were gonna need
you to this year, big guy. Yeah, yeah, you know,
we were talking about big tight ends and then we'll have to wrap up the
show because we're in and kind of early tonight for a special. But shout
out the tight ends we were talking about, you know why check and Delaney
Walker, Delaney Walker, the Chig. I don't know if y'all remember when
Delaney came over from the forty nine ers, but it was it wasn't the
first year he didn't blast onto the scene. It was the second year he
blasted onto the scene. The first year he got like I think five hundred
yards and a touchdowns or something. Towards the end of the year he really
come on and that's why he had such a great season the next year because
they saw what he could be. But when he came in he was a
backup tight end and Chick had very close numbers. As a matter of fact,
I mean most touchdowns at any tight end rookie or any tight end period,
I can't remember. He had a good rookie season, and that's something
that's something I mean, it's as bad as we feel about trade Lin Burd's
and uh caw I feel as rookie seasons, we did have a good rookie
season from our tight end, and we did dropt another tight end to Josh
Whitey guy. So hey, we got some stuff to build on. We
just need them to produce. So if we produce, we're gonna be a
lot better than we think. We all guys tell you, Yeah, I
agree, I agree, And it's gonna be all about production on offense.
Absolutely. Um. So that's pretty much gonna do for our show tonight.
