 Today, Tennessee tries to even the series with Indianapolis. Defensively, Mike, we've got to match the tempo of this offense. We need to get turnovers also. Borders with a great catch! Derek Henry, Rick Henry. Ladies and gentlemen, Arthur Juan Brown, 70 yards. Sevens. Onside coming. The Titans catch it. According to the Titans Blitz presented by Farm Your Health Plans, I am Lance Smith. This is the legend Eddie George. Titans Blitz is happy. We're all happy because coming off that win, payback game and then some. Oh, yeah. What? It was a great game, man. Awesome to watch. I mean, listen, when you want to get a team back in that fashion on the road in their place, that's how you want to do it. Get it done early. Wow. We got a lot to talk about, but first of all, good Thanksgiving. Man, excellent. Fried turkey was good. Had a small little gathering at the house. No more than eight people, so we're good. So it was all follow protocol. But then the rules. The rules. Masked up. But then we got to feast on this thing and made the Colts look like a bunch of turkeys. So let's do this thing. Let's kick off our show and do four downs with Eddie presented by course and fire and security. And look, the man stole the show first down here Eddie Henry. I mean, you know, it was some nice back and forth to start the game. It looked like it was going to be that all game long, but his 27 carries this technically is a carry that was a lateral. They would they would rule it. 178 yards, three TDs. Man, just took over early often and the last run of last week's game when he cut back and won they won it over time. Okay. Yeah. That I think there was definitely a carry over into this one earlier on. So there was momentum that he was feeling in his skies is full of big moments. Yes. I mean, he's just a highlight film to watch. So powerful in the open field. Introduce the new jump cut coming back able to reverse and feel this become has become the ultimate weapon in terms of running back power, speed. Yeah. Vision, tenacity. Yes. Leadership. Yes. Everything. He took it. He took that into the first half of that game and it was over after the first two possessions. Yes. I will not be stopped today. You talk about that so much. You talk about how he warms up throughout the game. He's doing that throughout the season and now here we are in December and it's it's pain time for the rest of the team. This is what I wanted to look at though. This little sequence of events right here. First of all, this play happens. Derrick gets this little pitch out and lays Taylor Stalworth into the dirt right there. That stiff arm, your face into the ground, sir. That's how you do it. Now, Stalworth is in for Buckner who is, you know, incredible. All right. So fine. Lays him out a few plays later on another series. We would score on this. He doesn't get much momentum here and Stalworth finishes this tackle here, but as he gets up, he kicks Henry in the head, talks trash and just watch Henry looking at him, staring him down, staring him down, staring him down. And from there Eddie, pain, rest of the game. He targeted them. You had games like that where somebody just said said the wrong thing too early. Absolutely. You dialing that number. Okay. 78 Stalworth. Okay. I got you. Got you. I got you. I got you. And that was the game. I let my pads you to talk. Yeah. So fun to watch. All right. Moving on to second down. You know, you talk about Henry's big day. I'm just you know, you're like, okay, my touch is something that really hits it. I'll be doing the yeah, hats off to the old line. This is some of the most impressive interior run blocking I had seen all year. I think it was the best performance of the offensive line all year without a doubt. I think it started back about a week ago. Again, you know, guys are coming off dominating. Just looking. Look at this block. David left. Right. They are getting his first start and plays lights. That's in itself is an awesome miracle. But to come out and play and do an outstanding job of pass protection, run blocking, really creating a new line of scrimmage. And that's when Derrick is having a big game like that, the offensive line is doing a fantastic job. Coming off is playing nasty. And Nate Davis as well has just been playing out of this world. So, considering the fact that they lost their number one tackle, Taylor LeWine. And his backup. And his backup. And they're still playing at a high level. Man, that is really impressive that they've been able to dominate. Not just get by with a pass work offensive line but have one of the best offensive line in the league is really unheard of and phenomenal. And doing it now late in the season, going into December, just speaks volumes to the coaching and getting it done. But this O-line coming together. And you know, last year, I think it was against the Colts. Quesembourg caught a touchdown pass early in season. One of the first few games of the season. And we made a big deal of it. But this was his game. Yes, it was. It was amazing to see. All right, moving on to third down. You know, of course, we've got to talk about AJ. Got to talk about the receiving threats. We still have AJ Brown monster game again, almost 100 yards, as well as Corey Davis. Three clutch grabs for 70 yards. So the receiving threat is still there. Again, balanced offense, Eddie. Balanced offense. You have two big-time playmakers. And AJ Brown, Derek Henry, and a possession threat like Davis. I think that's when you have balance. Now it's like pick your poison. You can either bring eight or nine in the box and have a threat of AJ taking it to the house on a slant or a go route. Or on just moving the chains, Davis has been a phenomenal, at least having, in my opinion, an all-pro type season because he's been clutch. Not huge numbers, not big plays, but just the little things. It's a big first down, fourth down catch, clutch plays dialed in, focused. He's been phenomenal. This offense has been pressing me on all fronts. Receivers, offensive line, run game, quarterback. When they're hitting on all cylinders, there's not a defense that can stop them. And next man up kind of thing, too. Everybody's contributing. Moving on, finally, fourth down here. The defense of toughness, toughness. This game to me, offensively, we did what we're supposed to do. This defense really stepped up though. Finally, getting to the quarterback there, creating punts, the pressure, but it's also guys like Will Compton getting in there, Breon Borders getting in there. David Long, a lot of people don't know this. We talked about Corey tragically losing his brother. David Long also lost his brother recently and he had a monster game. So these guys are really pulling together and- At the right time. At the right time, they're being dominant. They're gelling at the right time. Earlier this year, third downs was a big issue with this defense, giving up big plays. The secondary was an issue. Now that they seem to tighten things up a little bit in the back end, getting the pass rush, made a couple of moves in the off season, in the middle of the season with some key players. And now we're starting to see them gel at the right time, playing dominant defensive football and situational football as well. So it's been good. Titans run for, I think, a 229 total rushing yards as a team, Colts 56. There you go. That's defense for you. Guys, you know, 15 minutes can save you 15% or more on your car insurance. With that, we'll go to break with our Geico fast. 15, stick around. Titans Blitz will be right back. River's going deep downfield and the ball is intercepted. Borders with a great catch. Henry on the left side. No, Tana held up. Yeah, finger. Onside coming. The Titans catch it. AJ Brown. Two yards to keep this game moving on. You see what you're made of when you go through something tough. Steady rainfall. And yeah, it's been a tough year. But Tennesseans are built for this. Grid passed down through generations. We look for it. We like it that way. It's back, baby. Tennessee Tough. Tennessee Tough and Dean, welcome back to the Titans Blitz presented by Farm Bureau Health Plans. Lance and Eddie back with you. Half time here on the show. Recently, we played one of our favorite games that we play in stadium with a fan at home. And here it is. Take a look.

If it doesn't get to you soon, I'm just clearing that with my previous, no, I'm kidding. Congratulations. Thank you. Hey, you gonna watch the game this weekend? Yeah, of course. What's your name? I got a question in the bag. Give us a score call real quick. 40 to seven. 40 to seven. Okay, we'll take that. We'll take that. We are taking, it holds to it. And make sure you keep that blue lipstick on too. We like that, that's a good look. That's the good look charm right there. All right, we'll have some blue lipstick in a little bit. Hey, on the other side, we're gonna talk about this game against the Browns coming to town. Stick around, Titans Blitz. We'll be right back. Gonna keep your mask on. Welcome back to the Titans Blitz, presented by Farm Bureau Health Plans. Lance and Eddie back with you. It is the two minute warning here on the show. So we're gonna talk about this game coming up. The Cleveland Browns, they're eight and three. Eight and three? We're eight and three? Yes, sir. They're eight and three is ugly though. They struggled against Jacksonville last week. Yeah, but. I know we lost the bangles, whatever. Yeah, yeah, it doesn't matter. Playoff game yet again. Yeah. Because it's that season. That point in the season. And listen, they're running the football extremely well and the number one rushing team in the league were number two. So something has to give, which defense is gonna show up and stop whoever's running the game? I think that's gonna be the case. Whoever establishes the run, we can control this game really. That's the first key. That's the first key. That's the first key is you gotta stop that run game because Nick Chubb is kind of a mini Derek Henry in a way. He likes to stiff arm too and he keeps his legs journey. And when he takes a breather, it's Kareem Hunt. So. Yeah. This duo reminds me of Mac and Biner back in the day. Oh. When they had the old Doll Pound days. Wow, yeah, yeah. Yeah, that's that duo. And they're really relying on both backs to lay the hammer down and take pressure off of Baker Mayfield. Their offensive line is playing nasty football in the trenches. They're unforgiving. They're relentless. And these guys don't give up on a run. And there's a duo punch right there. And it's going to be old school football. You know, bad weather might be. Doesn't matter. Rain, see the snow. The mail will be delivered by one of these teams. So hopefully we can slow that run game down. Yeah, hopefully, hopefully not. I feel more comfortable playing them now given where our defense is and having progressed as, you know, if we'd played them say third game of the season. Second key to victory here, Bate Mayfield. In other words, disguise those defensive looks, those packages that we have out there because this guy will hold onto the ball and force and throws. And he can get frustrated easily. Listen, Baker had a fantastic rookie season, a sophomore slump, and still on the fence if he can actually, you know, take over a game. But he's making some nice throws as of lately. He's protecting the football. They're protecting him up front. Great protection. Now, what we're going to have to do is put them, win on first, second down, limit the runs, put the ball in his hands and make him throw from the pocket, accurate balls and get to him and get to him early. So if we can bait him like you talked about into making mistakes, that will lead to a victory for us as well. And I think we can get the job done for. Third key to victory here, get the ball out quick. Miles Garrett, active. He is active and he is ready and he is a problem. So if by chance our run game isn't where it needs to be, we've got to have that short passing game because they are coming with their ears pinned back. This is when John New Smith comes into play. You know, the tight end game. Humphreys. Humphreys is coming back, another possession type receiver. So that short quick game is going to be paramount. And they may build that in to their offense this week. But I think Mike Rable likes to establish the run, rely on that play action, and that can also slow miles down. But what you don't want is to get in third long situations where that big fella can eat. That's what he wants. He wants to hunt. Yes. And he can hunt. He's all going to trench us. So it's going to be a battle of wills in the offensive line against Miles Garrett this week. It's an interesting test coming off the last two games that we have. The overtime win against the Ravens. And then the Colts game we took care of business. This is sort of a mini playoff in and of itself. Can you win big games back to back to back? Well, you think about it. This is a big game. Baltimore to care business against Baltimore. That was to get back into contention. The vision game last week. Okay, now this is another one, eight and three teams going up against each other to get another a foothold on their position in the down the division, but also in the wild card playoff races. We don't know how it's going to end. So it's playoff time. Taking care of business. All right, look, I want to talk more about Cleveland, which you know a thing or two about playing against. Cleveland, we'll talk about on the other side. Stick around, Titans Blitz. We'll be right back. You had a good game. You had a good game. These smart years are even coming across virtually. Eddie, Eddie, Eddie, they are saying, welcome back to the Titans Blitz, presented by Farm Bureau Health Plans. It is overtime here on the show. Lance and Eddie back with you.

You know, it's funny, Derek had 178 yards and three TDs. And it was December 16, 2000. Someone I know had 176 yards and three TDs on 34 carries. Oh, and it was in the snow, Eddie. Yeah, it's a cold. Where I needed this hat, man. It was a cold day. Went till was like 20 to negative 10. And I'm like a fool without sleeves. I always believed that no matter the season, whether it was hot, cold, winter, whatever, it didn't matter. I'm going to be the same. We're going to play the same way every single time. At some point in this game, though, were you thinking, man, I wish I had some sleeves? That was a lot of fun. Yes, but I went to the sideline. If you see me come off the sideline at the one of those touchdowns, I ran straight past Jeff Fisher. Give me my jacket because it was freezing. So I needed one of these hats. It's cold blue here every time I stepped off the field. Look, we only got about a minute left. But I'm really curious, when you're playing a game like that, and you know, I mean, you're one of the best to ever do it. When you're in a zone, when do you know you're in that zone? You don't know. You just feel it. And you don't recognize it. You don't say, hey, I'm in a zone. You're locked in and focused on one specific thing. And that's to dominate. That's to get a first down. That's to impose your will every single time. The moment that you say, oh, God, what's happening? That's when you step out of it. You just trust the moment. You breathe in the moment. You just go with the ebbs and flow of that moment. Good, bad, or indifferent. You just look and respond. And that's it. Just feel and respond. Feel and respond. So you really only recognize you were in the zone in hindsight? In hindsight, yeah. I've been there a couple of times. Like tonight, I'm just reading and responding. He's feeling it. It's fun to watch. It obviously won't be snowing here, but maybe we can get another one of those performances from Derek Henry against the Browns. I'm excited about it again. It is code blue. Code blue all day, baby. Make sure you post it on your socials. As always, tighten up. We've got a victory coming to us. I can feel it. I got it too, yeah. Mask up. Tighten up. See you next week. Good on you. Nice mask.
