 Hey, y'all boys remember the last time we was in the stadium on Monday night? Y'all remember how much fun we had? Hey, let's turn it up now. Thursday night football returns to the East Side Stadium. The Titans find themselves a solid underdog. Procolo takes the snap, firing. I love screaming like that. Welcome one and all to the Titans Blitz. I'm Lance Smith. You're still excited about the win on Thursday night. This will be exciting. We're the driver's seat, baby. Man. Oh, Matt. Good to have you back, sir. It is good to be here. Especially under these circumstances. Yes. Feels good. You know, we just, we need Mike Keith right here. We would have all three voices of the stadium. He's the voice of the team and everything. His voice does something to my insides that make me want to run through a brick wall. The whole sack thing alone. That should be a ringtone. Guys, happy holidays. Hope everybody had a good Christmas. Got a, got New Year's coming up. Did you have a good boxing day? I did a boxing day. I didn't know what that was until you texted me. I was like, what is that? You told me. After Christmas. Canadians love it. Anyway, enough about Canadians. Yeah, man. The Titans get it done again in prime time. Let's get to it. We got a lot to get to. So let's do some hot takes with Matt and talk about the Thursday night football game. Once again, Titans on prime time this season. 3 and 0, baby. 3 and 0. The Bills. The Rams. And now the Niners. They're all gone. I think on all those, everybody picked. They were underdogs. Every time. I mean, it's so great. It's like, you know, especially like in the beginning of the season, we're kind of like, oh, you know, it's our defense going to be good. How are we going to play? And now it's like, we walk into games like, oh, it's our defense. It's like, you know, who held Kittle to one catch? We did. Who held my home some no touchdowns? We did. We did. Our defense rocks. It rolls. It does. It rocks and rolls. But the first half of said game, it was looking a little suspect, but it was that defense that turned things around. It was. The Jack Rabbit Jenkins interception in the end zone. Instead of it being 14-nothing, turned it around. Look at that thing of beauty right there. And then it was all about the second half. And, man, after that, the second half was amazing. Welcome back, AJ. Well, AJ Brown. I was just going to say about that interception too. Like, when we were up in the booth, and I'm calling, and they're about to drive, and it's about to be 14-0. That's when you're like, and I, you know, I look over, you know, and everyone, I'm like, oh man, this could be ugly. And then Jenkins got the, just turned everything around momentum shift. And like you said, welcome back, AJ. I mean, I had him starting on my fantasy team. And because of AJ Brown, I'm in the Super Bowl, baby. Oh, he owes you something. He owes you something. He went off. I'm sure we put in a call for that. I mean, but it just shows what a dominant force he is. And one of the things, you know, he likes to say early on is that he's always open. Yeah. His Instagram is 1K always open. Yeah. And the dude's always open. He's always open. He showed it. Hopefully that continues for the rest of the season. And the post. But it was, it was, it was incredible. And then back to that defense, held the 49ers to a touch, just a touchdown, one touchdown on the second half, really shut down their weapons. They were super fast. Hooker's interception as well, deserves a tip of the cap because it was, it was about coaching and defensive domination. The second half really told the story. I was going to say, I mentioned earlier too about how earlier on, like, you know, after the Arizona game in the Seattle game, it's like, oh gosh, our defense and our DBs, but now like Buster screen. Of course you got Kevin Byrd and now Hooker. It's like we have really good lockdown backfield. Like it's exciting. It's confidence. Yes, it is confidence. DePri is of course getting his C legs back under him here. He came into the team a little injured, but then he got the, the abdominal strain, which put him out for a while, but that seemed to give him time to heal up. And we are, I don't want to say peaking just yet, but we're getting sharp at the right time. We are getting sharp at the right time. I could not have said it any better. And it's exciting because, you know, now we have confidence. Like, look, man, you got to give credit to the coaching staff and just the team as a whole. Like, this is a tough team. Like we've won games with our B squad in a lot of, you know, in a lot of banged up guys and now they're all coming back. And it's like, what are we really capable of? Absolutely. Before we go to break though, this is your first season as PA. Prior to this, you were PSL holder. Yes. And season ticket member, Matt Rogers. Yes. Sitting in the seat. Is it, is it any more sort of special? Are you, are nerves added to it because you're fandom? Is it steak as well? Yeah. Honestly, because like now, like my thing was I wanted to have a fingerprint on the environment. And I think, you know, obviously the team is playing way different, but like that stadium is freaking hype, dude. Like, I mean, I don't know the official stat and I'm going to find out after this, but like we have way more false starts on the opposing team this year than we've ever had. And it's because the fans are getting in it. They definitely made the atmosphere electric on Thursday night. It's going to keep going. We got a game, Sonny, which we will talk about. We got more to the show. Stick around. We got more Titans Blitz coming up right now. Sonny Saw, man almost, we'll be right back. Love to get a free five here as we're inside 10 seconds. He does get him to jump. It's a free play. Tana Hill steps up. Fires deep down. Field going for Brown. He's got it. Tana Hill looking under pressure. Can run this thing. Tana Hill to the 50, to the 45, to the 40, to the 35. And he's taken down at the 32 yard line. The legs of Ryan Tana Hill. The Magic Man. Those guys are happy. Welcome back to the Titans Blitz for coming to you live from Nissan Stadium downtown Nashville.

But you brought your family and made this family fair and we had the lights for you. Yes. We had the lights. The lights were amazing and really this whole thing because it was looking dark at first. It was looking dark. The game was looking dark in the first half. And then it shifted and you see them come alive. My wife and my kids were just devoted to this win. And when it wasn't working, it was upset. It was upset. And they were getting into it. Yeah. But man, let me tell you something. For as long as I know this guy now. Yeah. DJ Pryor. Yeah.

We've got more Titans Blitz on the side. Welcome back to the Titans Blitz. It's now time for everyone's favorite titans game, the Titans Trivia. All right. All right. Here we go. I am joined by John and Ed here. Ed, how are you doing? Where are you from? I'm doing well. Thanks for asking. How are you doing? I'm well. I'm well. I'm here at the end of the season. We're wrapping it up. Look, man. I'm looking at the playoffs. I'm excited. Let's do it. Yes. All right. John, John, you good? Good. Good. I'm Murphy's bro. Murphy's bro. Yeah. I got my eye on you, John. I remember you. I know you. All right. Here's how we go. We're going to ask you some questions. One point of peace. They're easy at the top. They get harder. And there's a nice little prize at the end of the rainbow. You ready? Let's do it. You're going to ask the questions. Anyway, here we go. Question number one. Ed, you won the rock, paper, scissors. It goes to you. What color is an NFL coach's challenge flag? Do I need to give you multiple choice? Yellow, blue, red or green? I'll take red. I hope so. Throw my challenge flag at you. Correct. One point to you. John, next question. Where is the ball spotted after a touchback? Would that be the 10, the 15, the 20 or the 25 yard line? 25. 25 yard line. Somebody pays attention when he watched the games. Jersey math time for you, Ed. Ryan Tannehill's number plus AJ Brown's number equals 26, 27, 28, 29. Doing the math. Carrying the one. Over to the other. 28. 28. That is correct. 17 plus 11. All right. John, you got to tie this thing up. Question for you. Which Titan was also a teammate of kicker Randy Bullock at Texas A&M? Was that Brett Kern, Ryan Tannehill, Taylor Luan or Jackrabbit Jenkins? That would be the man that is named for my son, Ryan Tannehill. Ryan Tannehill. I didn't know where we were going with that. Yes. Can your son hold it? Ball first. All right. Two. Here we go. Next question for you, Ed. It's getting a little tougher now. Jack and El Tractor Sito before joining the Titans. Would that be Derek Henry, Ben Jones, Taylor Luan or Julio Jones? Man, I don't know that one. I ain't going to lie. So I'm just going to throw out. Number one, Derek Henry. You going to go with Derek Henry? He's going to give it a shot. Sure. El Tractor Sito. All right. Correct. Moving on. Next for you, John. How long has a football field from back of one end zone to the back of the other? 100 yards, 110 yards, 120 yards, or 140 yards? I want to say 120. I want to say 120. It is 120. That is correct. Ten yards apiece in each end zone. All tied up. Ed, to you, who has the most sacks in the franchise's Titans era? Kyle Vandenbosch. Javon Curse. Keith Bullock. Albert Hainesworth. The most sacks. Now I'm going to go ahead and say Javon Curse. The freak. Correct. I know. Four to three. All right. Final question. Final question. You both get to answer you first here. Final question. Here we go, John. Who was president of the United States when the Titans moved to Tennessee? Ronald Reagan. George H. W. Bush. Bill Clinton or George W. Bush? Clinton. Clinton. And what about you, Ed? Let's say you for two points. Let me say it was a slick willy. Going with Clinton and the game. He just raced you to the end. Two points in the game. It was Bill Clinton. Ed, you are the winner. Don't gloat too much. Congratulations. You just won an autograph. Anyhow, none other than Kevin Byer, the best safety in the end. That is the Titans trivia gauntlet. Stick around. We're going to talk about this Dolphins game and closing out this division. Oh, the other side. Titan Split. Two of the Titans splits coming to you live from Nissan Stadium, downtown Nashville. Lance Smith. Matt Rodgers back with you here on the show. Before we talk about this game coming up, exciting as it's going to be, a little house business to take care of. Do pay attention to this. This is very cool. Check it out. The Titans have teamed up with Ashton Real Estate and the Byrd Family Legacy Fund to host a shoe drive for children and teens in foster care. The inaugural Nashville Kick for Kids drive will be held at Nissan Stadium this Sunday against the Dolphins. We're asking you, the fans, to bring their new or gently used sneakers of all sizes to drop off around locations around the stadium before entering the game. Visit NashvilleKicks.org for more info or to donate to the Byrd Family Legacy Fund directly as a way to say thank you. Donors will be eligible to win a signed Kevin Byrd football. So bring the shoes, y'all. Bring the shoes for a really great cause, but don't bring them into the stadium. Leave them outside and then come in. Matt Rodgers sued this. This is what I'm talking about. Meaningful football in January, even though we have one more game, one more game week 18. This is new this year. The Dolphins, hot as they are. Who have they played? Shut them down. Who have they played in the last seven games? No one. Thank you. I will give them credit for the way they took out the Ravens. That zero blitz, all swarm shutting down Lamar. Hey, it was a good game. This is a good football team. It's an okay football team. We're a good football team. We are a better football team. Yes we are. But that's my point. It's like we've had the jets. We've had the Steelers games. We know not to overlook this stuff with where they are. But this will be a defensive battle. They've got a good defense. And you and I were kind of talking off camera. I think that Tannehill has his best game this Sunday. I really do. It's his former team. I think our O-line is going to be wholesome and healthy and back. And I just think it's different. I do think it's going to be a defensive battle, but I think Ryan Tannehill rises the occasion. We have had these let down games. I don't think this is going to be one of them. I think the stakes are too high. And I think this is the first step to the Titans hosting the first AFC championship game in the stadium's history. Oh my God, let's go. Can we say that? Yes. It's a little early. It's a little early. One step at a time. One step at a time. First step. We need this front four of hours to get to Tua. Because he's been figuring it out lately. He's been lighting up. Tua's a good quarterback. Over 2,300 yards passing, 15 TDs. And again, like you said, a seven game winning streak. So keeping him in check. But I think our defense, they're licking their chops. They're ready. I'm excited for the game again. Not taking it for granted. You definitely never want to chalk up a dub before you actually have it. But I feel good about this game. I feel confident. Jalen Waddle, working receiver, possibly going to go over 1,000 yards, most likely for the season. The weapons are there. This is the team on the rise. But catching us at just the right time, right? We're a buzz saw a wedding happen again. And you said it too. It's like the weather should be like 35 and chilly. That's not dolphin weather. That's not dolphin weather. 35 at kickoff. I don't know any dolphins that swim in 35 degree weather. Yes. That's not dolphin weather. All right. So you got a score prediction? Score prediction I do. I'll put you on the spot. 31,17 Titans. Drop the mic. I like it. I'm going to go with it. I like it. You're calling it. You're calling it. You're calling it. You're calling it. You're calling it. You're calling it. You're calling it. You're calling it. You're calling it. You're calling it. You're calling it. You're calling it. You're calling it. I liked it me too. Yes. How about a favored. Wrapping up this season? AFC South. it's at stake at this. Bring the noise. Bring that high.rahg. Towards. We'll see and they queer. Let's hear it. Checking the facts andcısoft.on. Please make a legal comment that your
