 Great man that opportunity man, another Sunday to play the game we love, whole coming game for all the old times, so you know we got to get a W today. This will be a big challenge today that the Titans need to end. Winston fires over the middle intercepted, Butler throws left side going for Sharp, Tyjay Caught it, touchdown! Good Tuesday night, glad to have you with us for the Mike Vrables show with the head coach I'm Mike Keith and did Jayon Brown just steal our open there with how he summarized the victory as a great team win. You know Jayon he's in a lot of he's in all the team meetings so he's paying attention to the complimentary football that we need to play. We try to try to win the game in all three phases and have everybody do something that's going to help us get a win. All right let's take a look at Mike Vrables six pack and Titans are already on the board with a take away and a touchdown pass when it's time to intercept James Winston he drops to throw but he finds Malcolm Butler. Yeah we got him in back on track there second and 13 there we run a little simulated pressure kind of changed it up on him a little bit and I'm not sure if there was a mistake but he kind of air meld him. I didn't know if the receiver was supposed to keep running the scene but Malcolm was able to catch it and get that ball tucked away and go try to score but our offense was able to punch it in after that it's always great when you catch the ones they throw you it's hard enough in this league so hopefully when they throw it to you you got to catch it. 13th career interception for Malcolm Butler two plays later coach well he already lets you know the Titans are able to cash it in with a touchdown pass. Yep and just a little fade route there is something that we've been working on you know Ryan gets up and down on it gives Tajed a good place to go catch the ball he kind of holds them off a little bit and then he will show his hands late there for a great catch keep you know great body control you know and then he catch survives the ground and it was ended up being a huge play for us. Titans go up 14 to 3 but as you get to the fourth quarter you see the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have actually gone in front 23 to 20 the Titans have to drive 90 yards for the go ahead score and you go to the rookie. Yep and we got Ryan got us in the right play there Blitz zero check. Furt does a good job Johnny does a good job staying in there protect and then AJ runs a great route at the front line gets the DB to back up into the end zone a little bit and Ryan gives him a heck of a ball and then you can see a really nice catch there. He had not done much on the day to that point and it's really impressive that the young receiver says I'm staying with it all day long even though I'm not having a great day knowing I need to make a play late in the game. Yeah it was just a little bit of inconsistencies throughout the day just trying to string plays together and you know the passing and then we got it going and you know they have to understand that each and every time that they go out there they have the ability to change the game you know with a catch and run with a touchdown catch and being ready to go throughout the game and you know AJ did that. Alright let's take a look now at the three defensive plays that sealed the deal for the Titans. The first one Harold Landry. Well he has a good get off as he corners there at the top he's able to reach he's trying to reach with that far arm and you can see it. You know sometimes you can't even sack the guy you can't even tackle him but you're going to get the sack and disrupt the ball just by reaching there as the offensive linemen is trying to push him by and the huge thing is there is we're able to recover it. Yeah Harold battles to recover it himself. Then two minutes to go in the game fourth and a long one at the Titan 32, Peyton Barber, no. Well just a lot of great penetration there by Jarelli knocks his guy back his hands are inside. The guy is trying to grab him tackle him he comes off. You can see Kenny Trigger you know we had everybody covered up front they weren't able to get a hat on Kenny and so Kenny comes in there and helps clean him up right there. Huge stop huge moment our guys are very prepared for that situation. Tight coverage on the outside I think you know whether he could have run an RPO or try to get some pick route outside with the three receivers they chose to run it and our guys chose to stop them. Alright let's take a look at the final seal the deal play for the defense. Logan Ryan lost an interception earlier in the game to review not this time. Yeah just trying to stay back make sure the ball is thrown in bounds. Keep the clock running and he air meld won and Logan was able to make a great catch and seal the deal. Being great in the critical situations is something we're going to have to continue to do. These games are tight each and every week. Four takeaways overall in the ball game Titans beat Tampa Bay 27 to 23. When we come back the Bridgestone clutch performance of the game from the win over the Bucks. That's next on the Mike Rapples show. Bridgestone clutch performance of the game Titans facing the number one run defense in the NFL backed up to their own one in the first quarter and here you come with the big back. Yeah it's a tough place to be against any team especially this one with the guys that they have inside Vita and Sue. You know Derrick red it well we got good crease there and he's able to get the stiff arm. Break through the shoestring tackle and then he's off to the races and I appreciate him taking care of the football right there. But that was huge to get us off the goal line and you know we just need to continue to try to get these explosive runs that can continue to help us. Did you think there were some rumblings on the headset. I know what you're going to ask me was he going to go 99 from the other way. There were some rumblings in the headset when he broke through the line of scrimmage but you know we're just thankful that you know we could stay committed. We wanted to always be better but I felt like we were at least we stayed committed to the run game that that was allow us to stay balanced. 16 carries 75 yards the best anybody has done this year against Tampa Bay. That's Derrick Henry's line for the ball game. Absolutely and just continue to take care of the football. You know I know that there's no harder critic on himself than Derrick and so you know we'll continue to work with him you know about making sure that we take care of the football. Derrick Henry on the season 581 yards rushing been consistent all year. You get a feeling he's got a really big one in him somewhere. Yeah I think so. You know I mean again he had that he would have had that the other day you know 42 yards that you know got called back because of a holding at the line of scrimmage. And you know we have to keep giving them those chances to get to the second level and do something. Are you ready for Delta dental guess the tight never ready. What's my record. You're three out of six on the year. Okay. Three out of six on the year Delta dentals guess the Titan a picture of a young Titans player. I think this may be the easiest one so far that you can't say it yet. So we'll get the answers on your script. Yeah I have to know it's important to know. Indeed. We've got more with Coach Mike Frable coming up including our Geico gladiator Logan Ryan. Stay with us. Maybe a defensive guy. You've got to be four out of seven after this Delta dental guess the type you've got to know. We are ready to go above 500 here. All right. The head coach says Long Beach Polly's own Jayon Brown looks just like him now. Good to have him back in the lineup. You know what there were some really nice plays out there on the edge the perimeter. I try to get the back there. I thought that the play on the goal line you know not backing up into the goal line if there it is cutting the guy right there you know going with the correct arm you know those are great to see you know so many times guys that you know when AJ caught his touchdown pass you know the defender was three yards into the end zone. We got to catch him at the front of the end zone and make sure now that we're tackling using the sidelines and that was great to see on those quick outlet passes Jayon running out there and doing a great job of covering. Do you have a more aware football player than Jayon Brown? You know there may be guys I think Kevin Byrd's a very aware player. I think Logan Ryan's a very aware. I think Jarrell Casey is probably one of the more aware defensive linemen that I've been around as far as formations backfield sets things that he's looking for that can help him and we're continuing to to ask Jayon to be a leader for us on that defense and to communicate with guys and help them do their job better. He had played only three snaps in the previous two games it was great to have Jayon Brown back in there speaking of playing snaps what about the secondary all of them went the entire way in the win over Tampa Bay on Sunday our Amy Wells is standing by with one of those gentlemen who played 83 snaps as it's time for our Geico gladiator of the game this week number 26 Logan Ryan. Logan you played all 83 defensive snaps against the Buccaneers so this is going to sound like kind of a uninformed question but are you tired are you sore? Yeah I'm sore it was a tiring emotional game back to back really emotional weeks we needed these wins we got back to 500 and he always feel a little better after a victory. When you were going through your career at what point did you really learn how to recover well? I think that's something that's always learning I think this year I'm more scheduled where before I would go on what I feel if I need a massage on this day or something it's how my body is feeling now it's that stuff is set in stone I had the same exact Monday Tuesday when it's Groundhog's Day for me every week and I think that allows my body to prepare a lot better and it takes seven years to learn that and I'm always going to add things as I go on. How would you describe your position within this Titans defense I mean you're the designated nickel guy but you're not rotating off the field at all as we said you played every defensive snap last week. I don't know I think nickel is kind of an old word a lot of teams have multiple receivers and I'm just able to cover multiple guys I mean I think I play the best position for the best defensive coordinator in football and D&Ps and he moves me around and allows me to make plays so I like to be a playmaker I'll put as a playmaker. Is that a lot different than when you first started your career and there were more designated roles? Yeah football is changing it's more athletes on the field smaller faster guys you need guys that can cover and you need guys that can tackle and we're able to be more versatile because we have versatile players in our defense that gives us an advantage on offenses so throughout my career I always had to move around whatever the team needed me to do and I didn't always like it I thought it was hard to learn different positions year in and year out but now I feel like I have a lot of tools in my belt and be able to do a little bit of it all. You have three and a half sacks which is more than any DB in the league right now why are you so good at getting to the quarterback? I got a good team around me good players a great system with D&Ps and they asked me to blitz a lot and I just try to be productive with my numbers called so I really think it's the people around me that make some these plays. Getting that interception later in the game you've had a lot this year already you've had three what have you done differently to be so successful getting these interceptions game after game? A lot of film study obviously last year coming off a broken leg I worked really hard I think everyone knows me knows how hard I work at it and just really ready for the opportunities you never know when interceptions are going to come I mean Kevin caught one off of guys back a couple weeks ago so you never know he's got to be ready for it and God has been good to me and the ball has been coming my way and I've been able to make plays on the ball. Eight games under your belt what has surprised you the most about this Titans defense so far? We got a lot of resiliency you know I didn't always go as planned for us this season so far and we were able to scratch and claw we got a really good locker room which I knew about and the games are always tough which I knew about but we're finding ways to win on defense finding ways to close games out and we got a long way to go it's a marathon halfway through it so not too much surprise me I just knew that we have a tough Brazilian group and it's really showing. Logan Ryan outstanding start to the year he has given this defense so many different things adversity is really the word that seems to fit number 26. Sure he can play outside he plays inside as a nickel he blitzes for us you know the sack the interception he's in there in a run game you know digging in there in a run game which is critical plays man plays zone and I think that he he's very adept at all of those he understands the concepts that were that we're asking him to understand in each and every coverage and the details I think have really improved and really helped his game and he's done some good things for us in eight games. Third year with the Tennessee Titans and Logan Ryan has gotten better each of those three years exciting part of this Titans defense right now when we come back well we've got a fireball flashback we're going to head out to the grill and we're going to tell you about a very special Titans parents clinic if your youngster plays football that more coming up on the Mike Vrable show. Glad to have you back with us on the Mike Vrable show and want to tell you about something very special next Monday night November 4th at Nissan Stadium it's the Tennessee Titans parents football clinic six to nine dinner is served it's free you have to register however go to titansonline.com slash parents clinic to get registered and what is so valuable about this if you have a youngster that plays youth football if you have a youngster that plays middle school or high school football if you have a youngster who is thinking about playing football what an opportunity to learn about so many different things about how to make them as safe and allow them to enjoy the game as much as possible. That's it that's what it's about being a parent that's had two kids play one that still plays you know my wife and I think we're on the lucky side to be able to understand the equipment that goes into it and what practices should look like I think that's critical that you go to those practices and you understand the techniques that's being asked of them and making sure that they're safe and that they're proper techniques and is their equipment fit right a lot of these moms a lot of times the moms are the ones that gets these kids dressed for football practice and making sure that the pads are right and the helmet fits and there's a mouthpiece and how to mold it and all those things and it's really a great experience and I'm proud that we put it on at no cost. Josh Corey and the staff do an outstanding job again on Sunday Nissan Stadium sign up for the Titans Parents Football Clinic at titansonline.com slash parents clinic and right now it's time to head to the grill team chaplain James Mitchell standing by with a Titan Pro Bowler and he's doing the work getting ready for some good eats. Let's see what Mitch has got going on the grill. Please don't tell me you like your steak. Like medium well. I'm willing to try to think with you but I trust you. You're a medium well kind of guy. I trust you. This would be a good experience. We got some plank steak here. Which is pretty good on the grill. You get skirt steak, flank steak. Over the years I've learned how to cook certain meats based on how bad I've burned them or butchered them. You get some good marinade like this and you let it sit in a ziplock bag overnight. Oh, so good. So I'm going to take this and kind of slap it over a little bit. Oh, you hear that sizzle. Medium rare Mitch. I can't wait to try it. So have you talked to oldest boy how to grill yet? A little bit. Yeah, not too much but that's, you know, I think he just turned 10 and I think it's time to start having some good conversations by the grill. Well, if he leaves on a mission to come over and cut up some bologna. I don't know if he likes bologna. Now my daughter, she'll eat it. We'll get this off the grill. Look at that juice just popping out. Well, there goes my dinner tonight. All right, see? There's one way to eat it. Then there's a Mississippi Mitch way to eat it. That was good stuff. 16 men have started at quarterback for this organization since we became the Tennessee Titans. We'll leave out current Titans quarterbacks, Ryan Tannehill and Marcus Mariota, to focus on the other 14. Steve McNair made the most starts with 131, followed by Vince Young with 47, Kerry Collins with 32, Jake Locker with 23, and Matt Hasselbeck with 21. From there it gets interesting. Zach Bettenberger and Billy Volick both started 10 games at quarterback for the Titans. Ryan Fitzpatrick made nine starts, Neil O'Donnell started eight games. The next bunch is led by Charlie Whitehurst with five starts, Blaine Gabbard with three, and Matt Cassel with two. The two remaining only started one game apiece. Matt Mock started the 2005 season finale in Jacksonville, and Rusty Smith got to start at Houston in 2010. Time to get back over 500. Titans on their way to Carolina. Mike Vrabel's keys to success. Well, you got to stop Christian McCaffer. He's fantastic. You know, you got to stop the run. I mean, this guy is almost 1,100 yards by himself. I mean, second in the NFL in all-purpose yards. He runs it inside. He runs it outside. They're creating match-ups with him and empty and coming out of the backfield. He's a fantastic young player, and it's going to be a huge challenge for us. Key number two, run the dang ball. I mean, we just have to keep going and keep being more consistent and find ways to get everybody involved. You know, and it doesn't have to be just line up and, you know, every single down, but when we do, we have to make sure that we're consistent and we're getting rid of the negative runs, getting Derrick to the second level. You know, find ways for Deion to continue to help us and just be sound. We've got to have something to hang our hat on. In 15 seconds, win the turnover battle. Sure. I mean, this is a team that, you know, they've got 10 interceptions, 15 total caused turnovers, and that's something that we've done. We've taken care of the ball, but we're going to especially have to do it this week. Go get them in, Charlotte. Thanks, Mike. All right. Remember, we're on the air at 11 a.m. Central on Titans Radio. Hope you'll join us for Mike Vrable. Mike Keith says, thanks for being with us. Good night, everybody.
