They handoff John who around left end World that's our blitz lounge welcome one and all to the Titans blitz presented by foreign Bureau health plans I am Lance Smith and this is the legend eddie George. I miss the crowd I do usually we get a big scream and applaud at this time, but Come on guys, let's hear it Thank you. All right, COVID man, so look Coming off this loss We'll talk a little bit about it because it's been almost a week ago You saw the open there. It makes it look like we won. Oh some good moments. There were great moments moments moments Yeah, hmm. How you doing, man? I'm good. Yeah. Yeah doing really well beautiful day today. Yeah Boke up. I'm glad to be seen and not viewed so that's a good What you saying I got you saying all right blitz lounge me with us We'll talk to them in a little bit, too Let's kick off the show and and do what we do here on the Titans blitz Talk about this show or this game that we had on Thursday night So we'll do four downs that he presented by Corson fire and security eddie first off Obviously a tough game going into it but hats off to a real soldier on our team Corey Davis going into this game Lost his brother Titus the night before I can't imagine Even dealing with something like this going in the game, but his brother he loved his brother his brother played football He was his hero. Yeah, and he said this is what my brother wanted me to do What goes through a player's mind in a situation like this? Well? Death people deal with death differently. Yeah, and I figured that he was probably better off saying this I'd rather be out with my teammates Playing the game that my brother loved that he inspired me to play and play for him. Yeah, and use that emotion in your craft And clearly, you know a very emotional night for him Probably not even thinking about a win or a loss but more or less that all fades away It all fades away because that's when real life really punches you in the mouth. Yeah, and you begin to realize that hey, you know life is not Promised it's it's short. I have to take full advantage of every opportunity that I get that I wake up and you know Kudos to him for mustering up the strength. Yeah to go out and To do that much much love and prayers to his family and and friends that are impacted by Yeah, our hearts go out to the Davis family, of course. He had a you know He had five catches 67 yards He really he put it out there and at the beginning of the night the beginning of the night He caught some early early grabs. You thought ooh, this might be one of those those nights Unfortunately, we had the second half that we had but hats off to Corey for playing a heck of a game and really Put it all in the line moving on though to second down In terms of this game and the woes unfortunately special teams Struggled struggled there was a blocking situation there, which is understatement. Yeah, I mean listen, you know This is something that the Titans have been dealing with all year long We see here a block kick for touchdown and really when you look at how how the course of the game was going the Titans were Dominating and yet another miss field gold here It takes momentum out of your sale It really kills the offense the defense of mindset because you work so hard to get in position And here after a great goal line stand or excuse me You you punt the ball away 17-yard 17-yard punt and you give them a extremely short field to work with a ton of momentum and Given the fact that the Titans haven't had a great deal of success Against this organization in the past few season beat them once in the past like last stings. It stings. So Special teams has definitely been an Achilles heel for us. It has to be solved relatively soon Yeah, and just in terms of housekeeping and business they have waved to ponder Ryan Allen and going with Trevor Daniel as the ponder Moving forward. All right, so moving on to third down. Look the defense defense got frustrated Especially in the second half Third down was something that we had been focusing on as a team, you know Hey, you got to go field and third down. You got to stop on third down. We were you know third down was okay We were stopping unfortunately decided to go for it on fourth down quite a bit. Yeah, we're three of five fourth down conversions You know like you you mentioned the goal line stand we had that's a moment where you think okay We we've got something going here, but we can't do much with it afterwards and then you see what happened Yeah, so yeah defense again Frustrated frustrating night frustrating night and when you look at the Colts offense going back a couple weeks ago There's not a stellar person on that offense that you're like, okay. He's a he is a prime time Playmaker he is the go-to guy. We have to stop him. They did a great team ball Yeah scheme the Titans really well got us frustrated like you mentioned they treated that that game last week like a playoff game Yeah went for it on fourth down a few occasions and convert it So we're gonna think of it. We're a week away from Thanksgiving. Yeah, this is when it's getting colder This is when guys teams are making the playoff push and the Titans are gonna have to tighten up a lot of different areas Yeah, they plan on making a serious playoff run I've talked I've talked about this in the past with you about teams learning more about themselves from the losses Then they do the wins and it's this time of year where it's if you're gonna learn something You've really got to learn it and that's something to learn from well something to build off of moving on fourth down here. I Run games strong y'all and it has been all year and the Colts Rush defense number three in the league They're giving up 88 yards a game on the ground. That's it 88. Well as a team we put up 157 on them You know Derek doing his thing getting over 100 yards. Unfortunately, we did lose the game even with his 100 yards But that's one thing that we do super well Can we capitalize in that more to win these games? We talk about a magic number being 100 You said something to me off camera. Yeah, I think now the new number for Derek if he's gets 150 plus That means the Titans are winning time of possession and they're dominating the way the way they need to offensively 100 yards now for Derek is just waking up and going on the field because he's he's bound to break one or two long runs to Get to that point, but in true dominating fashion He's got to get the ball at least 20 to 25 times Yeah, and if he's got that that number and he's hitting the number between 150 to 200 he's truly dominating So yeah running the football. I don't think there's anybody in the league that can stop our offense Right, but they have to win time of possession. They have to they have to win on defense They got a one on special teams So all three components have to work together in order for this offense to really thrive When we're running that well and even if we're down and time isn't that much of a factor Typically you would say okay We got to throw the ball because we need to but we have the team that I think we can still keep it on the ground We got weapons all we can I mean we got Real three great a great back though three solid running backs one incredible running back We have great weapons on the outside. We have an outstanding tight end a quarterback Who's efficient so it's just a matter of getting them the opportunities in having them dominate Yeah, it hadn't been that way since what since of Houston Yeah, you know, so it's kind of got off the rails a little bit But they've got to get their rhythm back and hopefully get it going I guess it's just frustrating because at 5 and 0 you feel like this is who we are we're dominating team We found our identity but now mid-season as all teams are on the NFL Reworking themselves trying to find their new identity. This is just a strange season. That's just the way it's been It's always been that yeah 2020's been the strange year period.

We've got more Titans blitz on the other side We're gonna talk about this game taken on Baltimore this Sunday. Gotta get this W You gotta get this win stick around Titans blitz Get your mask on there's a pandemic Come on mask up tighten up. You know how we do. Hey, welcome back to the Titans blitz presented by Farm Bureau Health Plants Lance and Eddie back with you two-minute warning here on the show We got to talk about this game coming up any big one. It was the you know, hey It's the scene of the crime scene of the crime where we stole their hearts. Yes punish them In Baltimore in the playoffs. We're back even Bridges report according to Jim White. We're gonna wear the same outfits Yeah, let's talk about the keys to victory in this game. What do you say the same blueprint the same exact blueprint but We we've got to have a complete game not not just on offensively not just defensively not just a special team Everything has to come together right now. Yeah, because like we talked about, you know, both teams are what six and three Yeah, and they're banged up We're kind of trying to figure things out from a whole total team perspective trying to get back in the winning column Consistently and this is the type of game right now to where whoever wins this game Whoever loses this game can kind of fall back to oblivion. So this game says a lot It says a lot. So so the blueprint is there, you know Stop the running game with JK Dobbins Mark Ingram limit them put the game all on Jackson in terms of running the football throwing it and they've got to establish the run They've got them in time of possession And and and dominate the line of scrimmage We've obviously got to contain him so that he doesn't do this and become their best running back But true but also force him just like other teams this year have done force him to throw outside the numbers So outside the numbers because the tight ends are his many targets, you know They he look for them to establish the running game get that going and attack the middle of the field with their tight ends And I just think that's the blueprint of success if we can give him to 25 to 25 and make them kick field goals There's touchdowns. Yeah, and limit them under a hundred yards rushing as a team We have a great chance to win the ball game moving on to the next key here Basically, what we need here is we need the tight and second half of the Pittsburgh game in the first half of the Colts game to Come together. We our offense has got to get back on track in a dominant way dictating every move and we played the first half of the season with such confidence everything we did every snap seemed Choreographed in a right, right, and it was everything was on point We're executing at the point of attack Tandy Hill was making the right decisions, but guess what defensive coordinators get paid in this league Sure a lot of money sure to stop to figure out what you need to do So that's okay We said to make the adjustments with the win time of possession again The magic number is to get Derek Henry 150 yards rushing on 20 plus carries period Yeah, and everything stems off of that we can do that That means the defense is doing their job special teams is doing their job and the offense is standing on the field and Keeping Lamar Jackson and offense on the sidelines. Yeah another key here to victory if the Titans can put all those things together It would be a perfect storm is to take advantage of their depth right now because they are reaching deep You've mentioned it already. They've got a ton of players down Kaleas Campbell looks like he might not play he's not practice. He's injured They're out Nick Boyle's out for the rest of season tight end you mentioned it The Patriots or without two offensive linemen when they played them last week the Patriots beat them And they worked them so the the Ravens are severely injured at the moment and again you've mentioned this It's about matchups. It's about matchups. I think we match up extremely well against Baltimore. The confidence is there But with Baltimore thinking about what happened last season, right? And this might be a must win for both teams right there But we're coming off losses both kind of ticked off a little bit. It's it's going to be one Very exciting game to watch. So it's going to be one of those games where it's almost Playoff ish playoff type of atmosphere. It is and fortunately for us with COVID There's zero fans in the stands. So this is these are just two teams that don't like each other if they like to say So yeah, it's gonna be I expect to see a heavyweight fight. I want to say heavyweight fan I definitely want to see some fire and a sense of urgency out there from both teams So it's going to be a lot of energy in that stadium. You know what? I'm glad you said that you were the urgency We'll talk about that on the other side guys stick around Titans Blitz will be right back Hey, come on back in here welcome back to the Titans Blitz presented by Farm Bureau health plans Lance Smith Eddie George back with you over time Here on the show and hey I want you to take advantage this Sunday because like nobody's gonna be at this game no matter where it was Whether it was here there nobody's gonna be at the game So take advantage of the Titans second screen experience in the Titans app Of course, you have the Titans app if you don't have the Titans app What are you doing download Titans app and take advantage of this and you can take part as if you're at the game There's stats and you can talk trash with your friends. There's some trivia there. It's a lot of fun again, that's the Titans app download that and Follow the prompt and be a part of the Titans second screen experience powered by a Bud Light I'm gonna do it because I'm on my couch this Sunday All right real quick Eddie before we get out of here I want to just talk to the armchair John Robinson's out there like me like you yeah Talk to us talk us off ledges talk us through this experience because look we were in what's up with the Dory Players moving around shifting Focus us and and are the players right now? Do they need to be mad? Do they need to have that sense of urgency in a locker room? Where's my well, you know, we're all armchair quarterback Monday quarterbacks and and GM's cuz it's easy That's why we're sitting here. We're not getting paid the big bucks But I would say this listen, you know, it's not a sense of panic time But it's definitely a sense of urgency and if I'm in the locker room with the guys If you're not talking about that sense of urgency then they're making a huge mistake because it's not okay Like for example, you know, if you if you don't want if you're upset with your kicker He's not making kicks and he's struggling with his confidence. Well damn it offense score touchdowns Don't put it on his shoulders to win the game at the end of the game It's same holds for true for the defense and same holds true for special teams So now is the time to hold each other really accountable and not to say hey, we'll figure it out It's okay. Give a pat on the back. No, it's not okay because you want to miss your opportunity going to playoffs and possibly with a championship this year That's all you need right there. That's all you need right there. I love to hear it Thank you sir, man. All right, so a big week big game taking on Baltimore got to get that W and bring it back We'll talk about it next week.
