 windy day. I think wind is going to be a factor today. Absolutely. I think it is. It's a pretty consistent wind about 10 to 15 miles per hour. Could see some pretty substantial gusts though. Definitely something to watch throughout the game, especially the kicking game. If you missed it yesterday, the other big news is that wide receiver Julio Jones was placed on injured reserve. That means Julio Jones will miss the next three games, but maybe just maybe has a chance to be really healthy for December and January. Absolutely. This seems like a very smart idea by the Titan staff to set him for three weeks, give him a chance to really heal. And then there's that by week in three weeks. So he gets an extra week then plus a week of preparation. So it's about five weeks before he'd be back on the field, which gives him a great opportunity to really get healthy and really be able to help out this Titans team as they're making the final push of the season and potentially going into the playoffs. Excellent point. Let's take a look now at the inactives first for your Tennessee Titans. We knew about Greg Maven and we knew about David Long. Rashawn Evans is also out. And so that means Monty Rice going to get a start at linebacker with Jayon Brown. On the other side, Bobby Hart and Dylan Raidon's being inactive for this ballgame means that Taylor Lawan is back as the starting left tackle. It means that Kendall Lamb is back as the backup at the outside spot of the offensive line. Thierre Tartt tried to go today just unable to make it. And so he will be missing in the defensive line for the New Orleans Saints. They're inactive. We knew about Alvin Kamera on Friday. We also knew about Armstead, the offensive lineman Tehran Armstead, the left tackle on Friday and their other inactives. No big surprises. Guys that have basically been inactive for most weeks of the season. So the Saints are healthier than the Titans, but they're not tremendously healthy. No, but the Titans also have shown the depth that has been able to show up in lieu of some of their star players. And the Titans have still been winning ballgames with that depth. So it's about even saw the Saints. Yeah, one of the tough things. Now let's talk about some Titans who have different numbers today than you're used to seeing. And that's either because they've changed numbers like Deontay Foreman. Last week, he was 45 with Matt Barkley leaving to go to Carolina. Number seven came open and he said, I'd like to be number seven. So now he is very trendy. The single digits this year. They're a hot trend. So the Titans two leading running back seven Deontay Foreman and eight Adrian Peterson. Des Fitzpatrick, one of the most interesting Titans stories in recent memory. Fourth round pick back in April, cut at the end of training camp, practice squad the entire year. And now he has been promoted to the active roster. Want to come back to him in a second. Kyle Peco, a veteran, probably going to play in the defensive line with Tiair tarred out. All right, Amy, let's talk about Des Fitzpatrick. Only the second fourth round pick that I can remember the Titans cutting at the end of his initial training camp. A big disappointment. No doubt about it, but his fight back through the ranks. A great story. I think he's going to play some receiver today. Des Fitzpatrick is a guy who has worked and worked and worked to get to this point. I mean, head coach Mike Vrabel was hard on him throughout training camp. He was hard on him as he's been on the practice squad. He continues to push him to get better, to do more, to learn the playbook up with more, I guess, efficiency. And now he's earned that spot. Mike Vrabel's not going to put someone out on the field who doesn't deserve to be there, who he doesn't think can contribute to the team. And this could be a big day for Des. Yeah, let's face it. This is a guy who can help this football team. Des Fitzpatrick, productive at Louisville, active today. Again, we expect that we will see him for some snaps at wide receiver. How many we don't know. Another group Mike Vrabel has been hard on this week. The blockers for the ball carriers, whether that's offensive line or that's tight ends. He says, Hey, listen, the running backs may have been new. There may have been no Derek Henry at Los Angeles. We got to block better. Absolutely. He he really challenged them this week to work harder to be more consistent in what they're doing. Because listen, you can't put all of it on Adrian Peterson. He said, We're not gonna say, Hey, that's blocked over here. Run this way. You block your guy every time and we'll make sure they get where they need to go. So all positions need to do their jobs to make this run game really effective with David long out rookie linebacker money rice figures to get the start. He has a start under his belt. He played at Indianapolis had seven tackles did a nice job need more from him today. I would think against the run game in particular. Yeah, I think that that is the spot where he really needs to step up and shine. And I think that's something he's capable of. We've seen him in practice. We've seen him get those reps. And I think today's the day that he can earn a consistent spot on this team. Titans need help at the wide receiver core. We mentioned Des Fitzpatrick, but let's also talk about a couple of guys who are going to get to play more at the wide receiver position. I think we got to start with Marcus Johnson. He got off to a good start earlier in October had a three catch game only has one grab since then. He's going to play more today. Titans need more out of him. And then Amy Nick Westbrook Akina, Nick Westbrook Akina, who has had 15 receptions, 155 yards, two touchdowns is a guy who we've also seen work all throughout training camp in the regular season. And when his number is called, he goes out there and makes plays. He's been a guy that's been so fun to watch this season and he keeps being called in important times in big moments to make those plays. Exciting to have him as a part of this team. Westbrook Akina again, the 15 catches, nine of them have gone for first downs. He also has a touchdown on the year. And so he's going to play a lot of wide receiver and a lot of special teams today. And his job on teams is going to be a big deal because here's the name you're going to hear on the other side. Deontae Harris. He's five, six. He weighs 170 pounds. He is probably the premier returner in the National Football League right now. Westbrook Akina and several other Titans, Nick Dizubnar. Give me some other names who have to make plays. Oh my God, the entire group needs to make plays. Nick Dizubnar's who comes to mind right away because we've seen his tackling ability. Wow, he can fly all over the place and he can make some of those open field tackles. That's going to be a big part of today's special teams play. And then Brett Kern, we've got all this wind everywhere. Field position is going to be so crucial in this game today. And Brett Kern's the guy to make it happen. And here's a problem for Brett Kern today. The Saints in the last two years have gotten their hands on four punts, four blocked punts, either totally blocked or partially blocked in the last two years. The Titans must protect Brett Kern and the man standing to his immediate left there, Randy Bullock, the place kicker. Special teams for the Saints. Really, really good. And they think they're going to be a big factor today without some of their weapons. Titans must stay solid in the special teams area. And we got to stay solid getting back to booth seven Titans countdown is what nine minutes away. Amy Wells and Rhett Bryan on your local Titans radio station in Nashville.
