I'm trying to get like him. What an amazing team win Welcome to the Titans blitz presented by farm your health plans. I'm Lance Smith. That is Eddie George ladies and gentlemen right there In case you could not tell Good to see you sir. Good seeing you too, man. We can sharp. Thank you. Thank you I am a two a two character today He agrees to dogs. I am a Exotic dancer. Oh dressed as a fireman as a fireman So I'm getting phone calls of needing help across the city. You're gonna go make that call. Oh, absolutely In a heartbeat. All right. Well, you also you also heard a bark there in the audience You saw some dogs there on the intro October has been a adopt a shelter dog month. We have the pedigree foundation in the house We're gonna talk about that a little bit, but we have pups here in the house with us. So hopefully Baggies on standby, right? Yeah All right, well, that's not we got a lot of business to get to let's kick off the show and talk about this big win Here at home. Yeah So four downs with Eddie here we go First off early jump man early jump had to get on they clawed back We still had the two-point lead going in half time, but the Titans got on it early That's something that they've been trying to do all year long get to a fast start They did a great job of that jumped out early make some great plays. You see Tannehill making some great throws and some tight windows Yeah, man, just a fantastic job of finding his receivers taking some chances Yeah, and you know, but that's what we want to see he's executing beautifully and again, you know with the Titans It's about getting off to a fast start and get the momentum and sustain that momentum where they got the victory absolutely well had a had a three and out, but you know after their field goal But a a fumble by the football to James's face tends to happen the crowd was into it They were very loud there and they took advantage of it and scored on the very next play So yeah, right here. It's got to love that the crowd was height the crowd was into it. They affected that play Listen when we were it when we're packed to have a packed house or a near packed house That really helps us and it helps with plays like that all year long So it really helped out to help us get off to a fast start. All right Well, moving on to to second down. So here's the deal Tampa Bay Buccaneers They won in all sorts of stats and categories time possession yardage running rushing yardage passing yardage But where they didn't beat us was red zone efficiency They were two of four where we were three of three and turnovers they had four to our one So we beat them where it counted. It doesn't matter what happens From 20 to the 20, can you score when you get inside the red zone? That's where it matters the most can you score and that's where it counted the Titans this and they have a bimba Don't break mentality on the defensive side of the football Offensively, they're starting to find their footing finding rhythm with the receivers tanny hill with his receivers the running game is starting to come around I'm predicting in the next couple of weeks. They're gonna have a breakout game offensively as it's all going to come together We are starting to see the the makings of that but they allow standing job in the red zone by scoring when they had to absolutely Well, you know another guy had a solid performance. I would say slightly underrated Maybe it doesn't jump off the page at you But Henry had a solid performance because first of all this was the best rushing defense in the league They hold their opponents to average of 68 rushing yards. He put up 75 His season average whole carrying the ball is 3.8 yards a carry. He had 4.7 So this was an above-average game for him against a really really tough defense and your offense is anchored on his play Yeah, especially when the offensive line was struggling early in the year to give us some sacks was in creating lanes for Henry to run through And now you see this performance It gives you some great confidence that he can continue to do it Especially against the number one rush defense in the league. Yeah to put up 75 yards and you get the win Just imagine as when the season goes on more and carries confidence is growing right everything's there It's only going to get better from this point on. Yeah, he did have the rear fumble And if you ever want to see a man beat up on himself just watch him on the bench. He was hating it So he as he should yeah, he's not gonna let that happen again. All right We're moving on to a fourth down. You know Delaney Walker obviously a huge part of this team huge part of this offense He's injured and one John who Smith steps up and steps up big time In fact, I asked Johnny a post game about Delaney's influence on his play Johnny who had this to say Man, I call him the OG in the room. He's like 100 years old. You know me buddy You know, he took me under his wing, you know, I mean, you know, that's a blessing, you know coming from a guy like that So I just learned a lot from me, you know apply to my game Yeah, six receptions 78 yards nice TD He called him the OG yeah, 100 years old. So Delaney is 30 something years old. I'm somewhere in my 40s I wonder what I consider am I double OG's in a museum in his mind. I think That's his kids playing today. That's his kids. But anyway, John who is stepping up big time. Oh, no question Yeah, big play first play one of the few first game of plays of the game Yeah back shoulder throw made a nice adjustment on the ball and he's continuing to shine continue to blossom And I think he's gonna be super starting to make him. Absolutely. Absolutely. All right Well, you know, we do four downs, but there was another big big play that happened in the game I don't know if you saw it. It was after it was actually after a punt magnificent play on the sidelines. Check this out Yeah, they might have her back next week to Ladies and gentlemen, Brittany is in the house Thanks for having me so the moment and you didn't know in the moment it was gonna be so big right You did you know you were caught on camera? Oh, absolutely. No, I thought I was just gonna, you know We push to the side because I was on the sideline and then did your phone light up Did your did your Twitter account light up? It went crazy I got back to the locker room after the game and then my phone was just full of text messages Instagrams. It was crazy You actually caught it low you didn't bring it in On the sidelines, you're normally worried about like players like this guy trucking you over maybe silly, right? But you paid attention you had to pay attention every time and I love football. So I have to you know All right, well, I see have pom-poms and it just so happens, you know, we're in a football stadium So ladies and gentlemen, do you think she can do it again? We don't have a drum roll, but here we go here comes the great current point Eddie's here, you know, uh 15 minutes can save you 15% or more on your car insurance with that We go to break with our Geico fast 15 stick around Titan's blitz. We'll be right back Bro's left side going for sharp under pressure as the ball knocked out of his hand. It's floating around It's a bumble, but it's Harold Landry who has it quick putting pressure on he's throw down the middle passes Intercepted Logan Ryne Personed by farm bureau health plans. It's now halftime here on the show I'm sure you've noticed the the dogs in the house pedigree foundation is with us Uh, we're gonna talk about this on the other side now. I know you're a big dog.

So yeah Well, uh, the guy that uh takes that seat when you're not here mart mariani is also a dog lover In fact, uh, he filed this report with his friend lucy. Check this out Goes 87 yard Well, it's kind of a long story that starts, um when I got drafted and when you're sitting there as a Rookie you could go anywhere in the country You never know for me to land in this city that had so much Energy and vibrance and just excitement was pretty lucky and I always feel pretty blessed to have been here And so when I hung him up and was ready to move on to the next chapter It was really a no-brainer for me. I I really didn't think that anything would get me from coming back to montana where I was born and raised But this city is so exciting. There's so much going on. There's so much opportunity that it was a no-brainer I had to come back and call myself an ashvillian and stay here for the long run So when I moved into the gulch in 2011 there was literally Almost nothing here. I think station in was here Sambuca was here and now you look around and see all the building and all the development and all the restaurants and It's just I could never even have imagined it. It's so much fun. It's fun to be a part of it's fun to live down here In the action in the chaos and in the madness. It's just it's a good time I know give it to me This is es rose park Uh, this is where belmont university plays their baseball and softball and soccer games It's right above my house and it is such a cool park It's kind of a hidden gem of the city. I would say not too many people know about it. So don't come here. It's not that much fun ready come on lucy is five and a half years of age which is like mid to late 30s and dog years The first time I met her She would not leave me alone.

Anyway, all right We've got two more titans blitz on the other side including the keys to a victory in carolina So stick around titans blitz will be Right back to the titans blitz presented by farm bureau health plans It is now the two-minute warning here on the show So we got to talk about this game coming up eddie Big game just begin. We got we got two at a row. We want three in a row. Yes, this one's on the road Yes on the road. We've been pretty well successful on the road this year. So that's not going to be a problem Um, I think we feel pretty good about our game plan. Of course, we got a Keys to the game. We've got to be number one. Yeah, get to the quarterback get to the quarterback, right Kyle allen uh facing another back after the year of the backup by the way It is a little weird across the board across the board. Yeah, but he's he's won but every game three games With the exception of the session last week drilled last week. They're going to be upset coming off of this Uh loss against the san Francisco 49ers. So they're going to be dialed in and ready to rock But I think the 49ers gave us a defensive game plan Right as a blueprint of how to get to this team and that slowed down mccaffrey got to get to it Well, he's actually the second uh second key here christian mccaffrey is their weapon He he accounts for almost 50 of their offensive plays He's on pace for 2,500 scrimmage yards 2,500 cj2k holds the record at 2,509 That's the kind of year he's having and he looks like cj2k. Yeah only in the black with number 22 If he's got the speed he's got the moves he can break tackles And when you look at his size like up close and personal like this guy plays running back Right, but he runs bigger than he looks you say that about every running back though because you're bigger than others Derek Henry you like that's who the running back supposed to look like right, but But the cat he's he's amazing. So we've got our hands full dmp's and the all Coaching staff for the titans are going to have their hands full and slowing this cat down so with that and that leads into the third key here is Feed derek the ball and own that time of possession. Yes big fellas got to eat big fellas got he's got to eat This game especially right? Yes feed him the ball. I mean look at he's got to feed those muscles He hadn't really had that breakout game this year. He's been solid. He's been consistent He's been patient and I think this is the week going up against a vulnerable defense the carolina panthers They give up five yards a carry To a running back that makes me salivate. I mean, you know, I know it's halloween and I went candy and all but that right there That's what you want. Oh, man. You see that on paper. You just move like Oh, just one more time again five yards a carry. Oh, yeah, yeah, they're 31st in the league He can just lay down. He's so tall and get three of that So, you know Well, let's hope he doesn't do a lot of laying down if he does it's in the end zone Yes, yes it is But I think it'll it could be a good day again the Titans have to approach this game with a great sense of balance Uh tanny hill, we talked about him kind of um, you know, let the reins offer him a little bit Let him sling it down field stretch the field We have some great weapons on the outside and it can only open up the lanes for Derek Henry moving forward I tell you what we have a really balanced offense and tanny hill has been spreading this ball around There's not been you think it's aj or you think it's davis or maybe Humphrey shows up this game He spreads the ball around. It's good to see good to see that own the clock Win the game. All right. We got a little bit more titans blitz on the other side. The dogs are still in the house, right? More titans blitz all the way stick around. We'll be right back Back to the titans blitz presented by farm your health plans. It's now over time here on the show and time for our Wendy's hot take of the week Eddie we've been talking a lot about uh, mr.

He's been called big jeff by a few fellows on the team I think my keith is uttered a couple times, right, right, right So we put it out on twitter and this is actually a thing People want to know what the nickname is going to be so maybe by a crowd response here l hefe was thrown out there L hefe right sacked by l hefe.
