 The Colts win the toss and elected to first so the Titans will get the football first play fake throws in the flat foreman Welcome to the bet MGM studio and the Mike Vrable show presented by Coca-Cola with the Titans head coach I'm Mike Keith and we're glad to have you with us back talking about football After a bit of a break. Let's bring in the head coach now So the last game was on Thursday today is Tuesday What have you and the team done since you last played at Nissan Stadium? Well, I think hopefully we've gotten some rest We had a great day Monday Met and watch the tape and watch some stuff that we've done well from the First part of the season and look at some things that we haven't done. Well things that we're gonna need to correct And get and get fixed as we move forward and into this most critical You know part of the season where a bunch of teams are all bunched together Like they are every year Mike. You have six games in 30 days before this break that you've had over the past four or five days How do you balance wanting to get in that work and wanting to improve with? Knowing the guys need some time away and the coaches need a little time away I think we all do but there's nothing more important than the health of the football team You're gonna win with players and and making sure that those guys are getting what they need and also understanding how important Just health is for Sunday. All right as we come off this many bye Let's talk about some of the important topics going on with the Tennessee Titans And let's start on something that Mike Vrable has talked about a lot Building on positives that the club has had through the first nine games. How do you do that? You know, I feel like offensively there's ways that you know, we can run the football with the different guys We've run it with Derek. We've run it with the out there. We've run it with Jeremy and You know, I think just being able to progress with that for the most part. We've taken care of our quarterback You know, I think we've really kept him upright and it took a couple shots the other day But we haven't had the stack numbers that that sometimes creep in there Defensively, I think that we can line up and stop the run There are times where we have lapses Which is inconsistent. There's times where we look like, you know, we're coordinated and And everybody's doing their job and they're disrupting the ball with guns and turnovers. We need to continue to do that That's going to be critical for us. So, you know, there's a lot of things that we can always work on We got to keep the ball better. We got a we got a cover kick How does the defense take the next overall step towards the improvement you want to see? I think it's about playing team defense. It's about making sure guys are all on the same page You know, it's always gonna start with effort and finish, but you know, just the fundamentals the alignment the assignment Communication, you know, you're good players in this league got to play great for you to win every week That's something that I'm familiar with in the national football week. Mike. This team has consistently played well in 2020 in goal line defense. Why have your guys done that so well? That's the core Who we are, you know, I mean, you're gonna defend every blade of grass. They have come up with some huge stuff You know upfront knocking guys back making tackles. It's hard to stop them there on on the one yard And we understand that and so that's a testament to our guys Mike even with teams selling out to stop him Derek Henry is still having success here in 2020. How's he doing it? Well, it takes all 11 you know, Derek's had some unbelievable individual efforts, which You know players have to do that. They got a win in this league and like I said, your good players have to play great He's gotten some help, you know guys have blocked secondary support players And you know the line has gotten them into some of these runs and then other other times. He's just you know Taking it and made a guy miss or stiff on the guy and and going from there So, you know, we have high expectations for Derek just like he does for himself We'll hear from Derek Henry later in this edition of the Mike Vrable show presented by coca-cola He is this week's rackly roofing tough titan, but as we go to break We share something that we're excited about earlier today We were able to reveal the finalists for the Tennessee Titans 2020 mr.

We talked about it with de Kwan You know, we would just like to stay on a little longer and see if we couldn't steal a Three points from them there at the end of half which we've done a really good job situation I don't want to take anything away from de Kwan and and he knows Having looked at that situation that you know if the quarterback's going to take a sack there We've got we've got to stay on them a little longer And force them not to be able to get to the lagging scrimmages in pocket.

I didn't know it was gonna look like I knew it had to be retro and voiceover because you know a lot of can be Present, you know a lot of things right now because of because of covid But I think it's gonna be a video game theme But the way it turned out it looked great. It was a great job. It's happy to be a part of it So what did you have to do specifically? How did your preparation work in going to making the commercial? Yeah, this gave me the uh script to read And um, they gave me uh pointers on how they wanted to sound and uh, we just did it at a studio Um, and it recorded it. There's gonna be tips here and there as I read the script So I got it to That's where he liked it and um, or if they worked out well, and I'm glad it turned out fine It's a great commercial My favorite part I think is where you're dragging the two Los Angeles rams through the airport You drag a ball over the place Y'all the football field and then through the airport and then to the workout facility and all of it You're gonna be much longer It's gonna be a minute minute Have you gotten a lot of response from your friends and family yet to having a chance to see it?

We got to find ways to To disrupt the quarterback, you know, we know he's going to have the ball in his hands the majority of the game You know, they've had some some quarterback center exchanges out of the shotgun And you know when you're playing option football and you're reading it, you know, sometimes the ball gets on the ground We got to get them You know, we got to force them to Into some mistakes and coverage and maybe find a way to intercept them and take care of the football against a You know very opportunistic defense who wants to create turnovers and You know get the ball out of their opponents hands, too So one of the turnover battle is going to be huge key number two has to do with special teams Mike take us through that They're number one in the league and drive start, you know, they're starting at the 32 yard line their defense starts at The 25, you know, we have got to find a way to make up those seven yards that they've had on opponents this season And a lot of that comes in the way that we cover kicks the way we kick the ball how we return it That's going to be critical and we're right back to the old favorite winning third down Yeah, you know, they're number one in the league on defense You know, it'll be critical for us to to extend drives And find a way to convert and then we need to you know start stringing these performances together on third down for us defensively You know making sure that we're rushing Taking care of the quarterback and then being tight in coverage or you know being at the sticks and zone coverage Good stuff.
