Jack Rabbit Jenkins is this week's Nissan Insider. Find out the story behind his name. John Robinson stops by with his take on how the Titans performed on Monday night. Plus, Amy Wells goes around the field with Chester Rogers to find out how the child actor made it in the NFL. All of this and so much more coming up on Titans All Access. Welcome to another edition of Titans All Access. We're starting this program in the TitanZoom Studio. I'm Mike Keith with General Manager John Robinson and we're zooming some talking ball presented by Duncan. Coming off the Monday night when 34 to 31 over Buffalo. John, I know it's been several days, but I don't know that I've recovered yet. That was a hard stop. Yeah, I mean, talk about an exciting night of football for Nashville for our fans. You know, just thinking back over it, it was really like, I mean, it was really like a heavyweight boxing match. I mean, we traded blows back and forth. Buffalo traveled well. They had fans there. They would make a play and their fans would get loud. We'd make a play. Our fans would get loud, but it was just really cool at the end when Derek broke off that long run to take the go ahead score. Really well blocked play. Give them the ball back, get it down on the goal line and a fourth down stop and the Nissan Stadium just goes into complete pandemonium. I don't know that I've been a part of many exciting games like that with Mike. Okay, so some of your specific takeaways about the ball game, John, what did you take away from Monday nights when over the bills? Yeah, I mean, I think it was a really resilient game for our football team. You know, we knew that they were top defense in the league. They were a high octane offense. They've got a lot of great players, but we were going to have to be detailed. We're going to have to execute those details that they were going to make some plays and we were going to have to bounce back. You know, and I think that's what we did. We never panicked even down there on the goal line stand. Like we didn't panic. We executed, you know, a call that we've executed several times and, you know, a couple of individual efforts throughout the course of the night. They really stood out as well. Talk about AJ Brown's individual effort, seven catches, 91 yards. AJ got going in the second half. The passing game got going in the second half. John, what really fueled that in your opinion? You know, I think we're able to build some play action stuff off the run game. Mike, some of those strikes, some of those in cuts that, you know, AJ has caught a lot in his time here. You know, he just did an outstanding job of breaking his route off at the top, creating some separation. The old line did a good job of giving Ryan a pocket and Ryan stood in there and stepped up and ripped it in there. And AJ does what he's always done. You know, he throws his hands up there. He catches the football, puts his foot in the ground and tries to get extra yards. And, you know, he really came up big force in that second half. Jeffrey Simmons is the guy who's getting a lot of attention following that game for the play at the goal line. Did an interview with Amy Wells after the game and he said he'd really been pressing. He'd been trying too hard to make things happen. Then he just sort of took a deep breath, let the game come to him. And it really did, particularly in the fourth quarter. What have you seen from big Jeff? Yeah, I think, you know, in that, in that game specifically, he got more comfortable with the scheme, with the way that they were trying to attack him and block him. You'd see that he was playing with a little bit more violence. It seemed every series because he started to gain some familiarity with the scheme and the blocks and the goal I played down there at the end. It was just an outstanding individual effort on his part to knife in there and explode through cutoff block and force that sneak to come up short. Let's talk about the fact that Monday Night Football is over. You've had a short week now to get ready for this weekend's game with the Chiefs. With everything that has gone on injuries and such, how challenging has it been for this football team? Yeah, I mean, we've been there before on short weeks, you know, whether it's a Thursday night or whatever it may be. But, you know, on Tuesday you come in, you take stock of the game, you know, you go through the injuries, you start to map out the practice plan of how many reps is this player going to get? Does this guy need an extra day of rest? Or, you know, you map that out, you know, we get the scouting report from the scouts, the coaches start to implement the various pieces of the game plan. You know, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, you're back on the grass, kind of in a normal routine, if you will. It's probably a little slower, Mike, because you have a little less time, you know, to kind of heal up after a tough game like that Buffalo game was. By the time you get to Saturday, you're working with some speed, you know, and you're really trying to fine-tune the details. And it's been a good week. Bottom line is, this is a tough football team, John. You've got to be very proud of that. Yeah, it is. And we've got another tough opponent this week. I mean, it's an explosive offense. You know, we know at Kansas City, we've played them. Seems like we've played them, you know, last couple years at least as well. So, we know what they're capable of, but super proud of our football team and the way we've been able to continue to fight and stay resilient throughout the course of games. John, thank you so much for the time. As always, we enjoy talking ball with you presented by Duncan. Thanks, Mike. Tighten up. All right. So, I'm going to throw on the sport coat, leave the Titan Zoom suite, and head to the Ben MGM studios. When we come back, you'll learn about a Titan who actually has an acting career in his past. This will shock you. Amy Wells has the story when Titan's All Access continues. Titan's outside linebacker, Bud Dupri's real first name is Alvin. Titan's corner, Jackrabbit Jenkins' real first name is Gennoris. But Chester Rogers has a stage name, so he's really got two names. He's Chester Rogers on the football field, but when he was an actor, he was Trey Rogers. Find out about more of that part of his life as we go around the field with Amy Wells. All right, Chester, there are so many things that I could ask you about your career in playing football and being with the Titans, but I'm skipping all of that right now. Okay. I want to start with the fact that before you were a football player, you were an actor. Right, correct, correct. Okay, tell me about this and how your acting career started because you're not from California. No. You're from Alabama. All right, I'm from Huntsville, Alabama. I started, I got into my acting career around 19 years old. My first movie was Constellation with Billy D. Williams and Gabrielle Union. I got cast to put a role of the young Billy D. Williams. We shot it in my hometown at actually Huntsville, Alabama. And after my first movie, like all the producers and directors, like, they told my mom, you got to get this kid out to LA. So I moved out to LA for four years, went to middle school there, landed some big roles, and I just kept, you know, kept doing it. I was having fun. I loved it towards the end. I kind of told my mom, I just wanted to go back and be a kid again. And I got back into football and now I'm here. I mean, you've really been in some movies with people that a lot of people would know, you know, names that people have heard, Tyler Perry, Gabrielle Union, like you said, I mean, big names. Did you get to interact with these people? Like, how Hollywood were you? It was honestly, it became so normal that it didn't feel Hollywood. But you know, I'm, I'm doing movies with Cooper Good and Junior, you know, I met Jamie Foxx, Chris Rock, you know, you name them. Like, I was living in an apartment complex with all these guys, one of the guys that was random, but it was Rick James. Like we stayed in the same, you know, apartment complex and I would see him in a grocery store and you know, but it's so normal. It was normal because, you know, everybody's just regularly out there. But yeah, you know, that was the, that was the upside of it. So how do you then make the transition from, you know what, I think I'm done with this. I think I'm going to go play football now. Well, really, it wasn't that I was going to be done with it. I just wanted to go be with my friends again. And we never made it back out to LA because like I said, I got good at football again and just took it from there. So actually, I do plan on going back to acting on some family football. So I didn't put it to bed. Is there any crossover from being an actor in Hollywood and having some of those acting skills and being an NFL player? It seems like they're on two separate ends of the spectrum. Yeah, but I kind of, I kind of challenge it as the same, you know, when it's time for game time, it's like flipping that switch, you know, just like we're acting. When the director says action, it's time to go. You flip a switch, you get in the character. So I'm kind of like, it's the same as football, you know, Monday night, I'm going to flip that switch and this I'm going to be an actor, you know. Ain't that like Monday night football, baby? It's going to be a show tonight. It's two of them. Being here with the Tennessee Titans, we've seen you kind of grow into a role and be more of a contributor. You're on the field a lot more. What has clicked here with the Titans? It's genuine, you know, from all the way up to the GM and down to the training staff. Everybody embraces me. I feel wanted. And, you know, it's just a great situation. I just feel like I'm in the right place at the right time and I'm just taking advantage of it. Being a part of this team as it's grown throughout the season, how proud are you to been a part of that growth? Oh man, it's a blessing, man. I'm super excited to be a part of it because it's a great group of guys and we all have a, you know, a common goal, you know, at the end of the season when we're striving for it. So like I said, I'm embracing it and I enjoy it. So you're going to go as long as you can and then when we take it back to Hollywood? Yeah, once I'm done, once I hang the cleats up, I'll probably be back in LA, you know, doing some things. What is your dream role? My dream role, um, not to sound cliche, but I was talking to some of my friends and just my story, my life story, but some of my friends, I think it would be a great story, you know, to pitch, you know, everything I've done in life. I would love to, you know, be in my own, my own movie. Well, then who plays you in your movie? You play you? Absolutely, absolutely. Not as a kid, but you know, as I get older, I would play myself. I would love to do that. I'd watch that movie. Welcome back to Titans All Access in the Bette MGM studio. Now, everybody's got a nickname. Mike Keith was Bam Bam. We don't need to know why. Mine was Dubs because my last name starts with the letter W and Jack Rabbit Jenkins. Well, of course, his nickname is Jack Rabbit. But why? We sent old Bam Bam Mike Keith in to find out for us in this week's Nissan Insider. Does anybody call you Genorus in your life? Nobody called me Genorus. No one? No. No member of your family calls you Genorus? No. You're Jack Rabbit? Jack Rabbit or Rabbit? Jack Rabbit or Rabbit. And you asked the Titans to list you on the roster as Jack Rabbit? Yeah. Because that's what everybody calls you. Correct. Explain how you became Jack Rabbit Jenkins. Well, it started at the University of Florida my freshman year. I was out there, you know, making plays on the field, but I didn't know what I was doing. Remind you, I had went early in the spring. So, you know, when you go in the spring, they just throw you out there. But I was making plays. We got a meeting room one day and the coach was like, making a lot of plays. You're moving really fast. We're going to call you Jack Rabbit. And then ever since that day, I just ran with it. But you didn't actually chase rabbits. Of course. You did. That was part of my nature. Okay. That was part of my living. That was part of my growing up. How did you not end up on offense being so fast? Because I always been quick. And I was like real physical in high school. So, I always wanted to hit people. But I played running back in high school. But when I got to college, they moved me to corner. Have you been surprised if you could play this long? Not really. I haven't been surprised. I mean, it's a position that guys, you know, once you hit 30, you start to, but you've just, it's like you've gotten better. It's all about taking care of your body. Understanding the game, mental reps, just being a pro. I feel like I've been doing a great job of that because I've been in the lead and I just got to continue. Dave McGinnis works with us on Titan's Radio. He loves Jack Rabbit. He talks about the fact that you've become more of a pro as you've gotten older and that that's what's really allowed you to do it. Where would you say you've become more of a pro and who helped you to become a pro? Just studying on and off the field. People like Cortland Finnegan, Dominique Rajatumarty, just being under those guys that's at a young age and learning from those guys and understanding the game helped me become a great pro. I learned how to film, study through Cortland. I mean, I just learned. At first I came in, I was young here and there, but then I got settled in and just learned how to become a pro. What's the hardest thing about covering an NFL wide receiver? The hardest thing, just being consistent. You got to be consistent at cornerback because at any moment you don't know if the ball is coming or not so you always got to be consistent and just learn how to take care of your body. The other thing that I've never understood that's really hard for people is you're going to fail as a corner in the NFL. They're going to catch passes, it's going to happen. How do you get over it and how long did it take you to learn to have that put it aside after one play and go on? Well, in the NFL, you got to understand, everybody get paid, everybody going to make play. At the end of the day, if somebody make a play on you, you got to brush it out because guess what? It's a whole game. One play, don't determine one, the whole game, you just got to continue to work. There's more Titans All Access on the way on the other side of this break. Mike Keith, Keith, the best part of the show is coming up. Stick around. What's good, Tennessee? It's hard to say we're clocking in because we never stop. Let's go to work. Welcome back to the Bet MGM Studio with Amy Wells. I'm Mike Keith and we continue with Titans All Access as we go beneath the surface powered by Microsoft Surface. And here's Coach Dave McGinnis. Mike Keith, so happy to be here with you and Amy Wells and beneath the surface powered by Microsoft Surface. Let's go. All right, there's a lot to look at and we want to talk about Patrick Mahomes and how dangerous he is as a runner. He's an absolute threat with both things that go on with him. And here's what you've got to worry about with him. When he escapes, he escapes vertically or horizontally, you've got an issue. So you not only have to be able to cover what he may throw, you also have to be able to get the lanes and cover as you see him here. And what he's going to do, he's going to motion his tight end to go to two by two. You see the defensive front shift to where the tight end is. Now off of this half play action, you can see the B gap to his left open up immediately. They're in man coverage in the back end. Big problem, huge problem, huge gain. Watch this thing open up. You can see what's going on back here. This is kind of got an umbrella. They've dropped into some zone with man pickups, but as soon as the zone people underneath turn their backs, that B gap opens, he's gone. Coach Mack, he's dangerous as a runner, but Patrick Mahomes also dangerous when he gets rid of the football. Yeah, and we've seen what he can do with his legs. Now let's take a look at what he does when he recognizes coverage. This is now three by one. They've moved the back over to his left side. Now they got a quads look, a four by one. And immediately he steps up, but as he steps up, they run a layered route. You see how quickly it comes out. He's got that shortstop snap throw too. Watch his eyes downfield, quick snap. Ball is in there before anybody can react in a zone coverage. This makes him doubly dangerous when he starts to step up. He's identified it, he flicks it, completion. Now you want to talk about being dangerous. It's not just when he's passing the ball, it's those deep balls that you've got to be worried about too. Well, and here's the issue too, Amy. You've already talked to me about, I mean, you've already heard me talk about their identifications. You're going to see in this play, he moves a back out to get identified man zone. He knows now he's got man to man coverage. He immediately knows where he's going. Watch him drop back. He's got one on one on the outside to McCollardman. McCollardman is another speedster in their stable of speedsters, but he's identified it so quickly. And look how quickly the ball came out of his hand. He threw the ball when he was still covered. And quarterbacks that throw the deep ball, if they can see the back of the defender's helmet, the ball's coming out of there. And this is a great example of all three levels that he's dangerous on. So he can run, he can get rid of it quickly. He has a great arm, he's smart, and he can throw the deep ball. Well, all of that is true. No problem. You didn't lie. You didn't lie with any of that. Titans have their work cut out for them Sunday. Yeah, sure you do. And then the thing you have to do, if he does throw it quick like we saw earlier in that one, you got to spot tackle. You can't miss tackles against these people. They're going to move the ball. You can't miss tackles and do not give them the explosives like you saw them get against Washington football team and McCollardman. You can hear Dave McGinnis on Titans Radio Sunday at noon central time when the Titans take on the Chiefs. When we come back, more of Titans All Access. Stay tuned. My acquaintances around the league, very close acquaintances. Because we really do just talk ball all the time. I think it covers the whole entire spectrum of what the National Football League is all the way from the technical aspect of it, from officiating to the women in the National Football League. But then we're also going to have a lot of fun. And with Coach Mack, you know, there's never a dull moment. And you ask what it is. It's the greatest thing you'll ever listen to. I mean, that's basically. Tune in. That's with Titans Amy and Coach Mack podcast. Coming soon. Welcome back to Titans All Access. It's time for the best part of the show. Mike, Keith, keys, ladies and gentlemen. Mike, the keys to beating the Kansas City Chiefs. All right, let's talk about getting a couple of big play touchdowns for the Titans. That's one of the keys to beating the Chiefs is scoring via defense. Maybe a defensive back picks off a pass. Or maybe you throw a long touchdown pass. Or maybe Derek Henry breaks a long run. You can't go drive for drive with the Chiefs. You need an easy touchdown or two on a big play. I like those kind of plays. Give me another key. All right, let's talk about the Titans linebackers. Big game for them. Inside linebackers have to make sure they're doing a good job against the run. And keeping Patrick Mahomes from stepping up and taking off. Outside linebackers have to take outstanding angles, rushing the passer, not losing contain, and hopefully knocking number 15 down. Big game for the linebackers. All right, third and final key. And final key to beating the Chiefs. Derek Henry. Just Derek Henry period. This is a game where if you can get him 30 to 35 touches and have him control it, it's a great situation for him against the Chiefs defense. It's also a great situation for your defense to control time of possession. This is a Derek Henry game. Maybe they all are, but this one especially. I like it when Derek Henry gets involved and I like it even more when he's a key to the game. A key to the game, very easily done. Reminding you, we're on the air at noon central time with the game on Sunday. Titans and the Chiefs actually come on the air with this lady and Rhett Bryant for Titans Countdown at 11 a.m. central. We hope you'll join us. For Amy Wells, I'm Mike Keith. Thanks for being with us and we'll see you next time. Why is your nickname Bam Bam?
