 Today, somebody stops the bleeding, fumbles it, Kevin Byrd to the house, Harold Landry, Derek Henry, touchdown Titans! With 60 rushing touchdowns, the Titans come to North Florida and get it done. Big win! It's CJ 2K! Welcome back to the show, Chris Johnson, it is good to have you back, sir, especially coming off of this game, we'll get into that in a minute. If you noticed on the open here, ladies in the house, we're celebrating a big weekend this weekend. This is our crucial catch week, we are bringing awareness to catching cancer early. We have all breast cancer survivors in the house, give yourselves a round of applause. Warriors in these seats, so thank you for being here, we're honoring you tonight in this weekend's game. Now talking about this game that was, Chris Johnson, my man, what a game it was. It was a pretty good game, pretty good game, I was actually at the game. I know I caught you on Instagram, I was at the game too, but I'm in the cheap seats, you rolled nice. Yeah, it was a good game though. Yeah, it was definitely a good game, just to see how they continue to ride Derek Henry through it. If you were sitting there at the game, you wouldn't know if he had as many yards as he had, but if you can continue to feed him throughout the game, you look up, he got 30 carries, 130 yards, three touchdowns, and just can't stop it. See, my man's already into it, we're getting into this game, but I do have to ask, before we break down the game, when you watch football games now, I mean, look man, you're young, you're in shape, is it difficult, do you want to get out there, you want to suit up? Yeah, I want to get out there game day, but not football practice and not training camp, that's too much. Not film study, none of that, I just want to get out there on Sunday, like hire everybody else thing, just get out there on Sundays and play the game. But the works a lot. Alright, well let's get into it, let's break down the game, here's some hot takes with CJ, you heard the man talking about it, we've been talking about Derek Henry for a long time, as we should, he's earned it, you know, he only had 31 yards in the first half, not getting a lot, they were kind of containing him, but everybody knows if you watch, it's just a matter of time, right? Yeah, you got to keep giving it to them, the guys, they going to come up, they going to hit them during the first half, but if you keep giving it to them, third, fourth quarter, the guys not going to hit them, you know what I'm saying, he's a big guy, once he gets in the second, Derek, those guys definitely don't want to hit them. Well, I mean, to be so full of injury, so strong, so much later in the game, I mean, you can speak to, you played this game at the highest level, how difficult is that to be so full of energy in the fourth? It's definitely difficult, but that's what you train for in the offseason to be at top shape, so you can survive for a quarter sometime, over time, where a lot of people got to understand, it's chess, it's not checker, so, you know, it's a long game. Yeah, it's interesting to watch the defensive backs celebrate when they tackle him on the line of scrimmage in the first quarter, as if that's the game, and then they're running away from him, like you said, and late game, especially that late touchdown, they backed away from him. Moving on, talking about the rest of the game, what did you think of the overall game plan, taught down on the offensive coordinator, I thought, saw a lot more sort of creativity this game, in the game prior, it was a heavy McNichol's scrim game, didn't see a lot of that this time, we saw Cam Batson in the Wildcat. Yeah, it was different in this game, you know, being that we didn't have Julio, and then AJ, he was, he played, but we could tell he wasn't himself, but we mixed it up with a little Wildcat, also throwing Derek the ball, some stuff like that, so it was a good mixture, but at the end of the day, you know, we had to come back to our bread and butter, and everybody knew what it is. Yeah, absolutely. Get back to Derek Henry. Getting back to that Wildcat though, I'm really curious, because we put Derek back there a few times, saw a jump pass from him before. Did you ever play any Wildcat at East Carolina, did you ever get the ball in your hands quick like that? No, I never did, but when I was in college and then when I was here in Tennessee, it wasn't big, it had just started. I can't remember, Rennie Brown, when they was doing it in Miami, but it wasn't big, but now it's getting big, big now. Well, you got to get the ball in your playmaker's hands, and you're one of the biggest playmakers I've ever met, so, I mean, just chomping at the bit to get a play like that. Another guy that we want to tip our hat to, Harold Landry's having a season so far, still early. The guy's getting back there, he's the only NFO player in the first five games with at least five pressures per game. Super, super quick to the court. What do you see when you look at a guy like that? Oh, man, he's just, that's something that we needed. We needed a pass rusher. You know, Jarrell Casey ended up retiring, he was here the year before or whatever, but we needed somebody to come in and fill them shoes and get pressure on the quarterback. You know, today's game is a passing league, so you got to have somebody to disrupt the quarterback so you have the secondary in the back end, get some interceptions and stuff. Absolutely, well, and you know, Jeffrey Simmons is the reason for a lot of this, and Jeffrey Simmons is taking on three guys, Harold Landry's getting his opportunities. Can't wait to see Bud Dupree on the field to join him. Yeah, exactly, he's a piece. That's going to be a nightmare fuel for those offenses. All right, we've got lots more Titans Blitz on the other side with my man CJ 2K, stick around right now, here's some Nissan memorable moments. We will be right back. Touchdown Titans! Large, big chase, big bulldozer. Now 29 carries for 130 yards, and count them. One, two, three, scores! To the Titans Blitz, I'm Lance Smith, hanging out with Chris Johnson. We've got our breast cancer survivors in the house as we celebrate our crucial catch game this week. Taking a break from the X's and O's right now. I don't know if you caught the show last week. I don't know if you talked about this, I had tweeted out right before the Jets game that Bill Cower had, well, he picked the Jets in an upset over the Titans. I said I'd rename my youngest daughter Bill Cower if this happens. I don't know if you caught wind of this, CJ, but Bill, Bill saw that, thought it was funny. And well, wanted to catch up with me. And Maggie, who I had to rename, Bill Cower. Kick on the way, doesn't have the distance. It's no good! Jets win it in overtime! Hey! Look, so it's Lance and Maggie, AKA Bill Cower. You just felt so good about your team, the Tennessee Titans, that you said, if that happens, I'll name my daughter Bill Cower. There's no way, there's no way. Our offense was on a roll. I felt good about our squad, and you know, no disrespect to the Jets. I realized I've got a strong defense. What was your reaction to the response you got on Twitter? The New York Jets have won their first game of the season. They knock off Tennessee. We lost, and I just had to take my lumps, and I wasn't deleting it. I stand by it. I've called her Bill a few times. She's not a fan, right, Bill? I can't call you Bill Cower, because you're a real cute Bill Cower. No! I think I tweeted out Bill Cower to the playground. Bill Cower needs juice. You have three daughters, and I have three daughters. How about this wedger this week? Why don't you name your second daughter if they lose J.B., AKA, right? Look, I could have a Boomer, a J.B., a Nate, a Phil. I don't, that's fine. I have that much faith in my team. I love your confidence. You're a great fan. You have a great family. Good luck this week. Hi, Coach Cower. I had confidence this week as well, right? Right. Yes, I had daughters' names for days. I wasn't going to lose this next one. Anyway, you were there, but your view was a little different than mine. I was in the sun. Anyway, here's my road diary from our trip down to Jacksonville. Take this, Bill Cower. That's the Jacksonville Jaguar T-Racker way better. Cameron Batson and the Wildcat. Sonny in Jacksonville. Lovin' it, lovin' life. You've been a good J. I almost am frillous, at least on my part. Mr. Bill Cower, I respect you immensely, your resume, your football prowess, but my Titans, my Titans pulled out the tub with nothing but passion in their hearts. And my daughter's name's on the line. Love you, man. See you down the line. Tighten up. I'm Bill Cower, and that's the girl, the girl's names are fine. I had some fun with Coach Cower, obviously, but I mean, did you ever eyeball a coach during game or after it was over or have a little fun knowing that you got the better of a team? Yeah, sometimes, sometimes, yeah, sometimes. Who was your favorite coach to go against? My favorite coach. Who'd you love to be? Who'd you love to run all over? I love to go against Rex Ryan. Rex Ryan, oh right, because of his defenses. Yeah, because of his defense. And you know, he always had a personality, always had to find the interviews, and he always liked to talk mess through the media too. Yeah, yeah. So you like to shut him down? Yeah, yeah. You shut a lot of coaches down. Very famous for that, CJ. All right, guys, we've got a little trivia on this side. Got some prizes to give away, so do stick around. We've got more Titans Blitz on the other side. We will be right back. Let me hear you. Yeah! These Blitz, I'm Lance Smith, coming to you live from Nissan Stadium.

Lisa won, so I just, I'm sorry, so she gets the first question. We're gonna go back and forth. There's a prize at the end of this rainbow, but are you ready, Lisa? Yes. Here we go, question number one in the Titans trivia gauntlet. Which team did Mike Vrable, our head coach not play for during his career as an NFO player, multiple choice, Lisa, was the Patriots, the Texans, the Chiefs or the Steelers, which team did he not play for? The Patriots. The Patriots, he had a remarkable career with the Patriots, caught a lot of passes from top-ranking, though he's a defense. He didn't play for the Texans. Coach forms, moving on to Kevin, the score is tied. Kevin, the term red zone refers to the offense getting inside which yard line of the opponent? The five yard line, the 10 yard line, the 20 yard line or the 25 yard line? The 20. The red zone starts at the 20, one point for Kevin right here. All right, Lisa, time to catch up. Next question, which player did Steve McNair share NFL Co-MVP honors with in 2003? Was that Kurt Warner, Eli Manning, Ladanian Tolundson or Peyton Manning? 2003, Steve McNair, best in the league, along with this guy. Peyton Manning, you knew it, right? Where's she at? Hear that bell? She's tied up with Kevin. All right, Kevin, here we go. What color is the dot on a quarterback's helmet that indicates the helmet is wired for radio communication? Is that orange, red, green or black? I'm gonna go with red. Gonna go with red. Probably should have gone with green, the score is still tied though, that's all right, that's all right, all right. You have a chance to take the lead here, right here, Lisa. Here we go, who was the Titans opponent for the Music City miracle way back when? Was that the Bills, the Giants, the Texans or the Dolphins? Lisa, the Music City miracle. I'm gonna go with the Bills. You should go with the Bills. Yeah, we're taking them on again. Lisa's in the lead. All right, here we go. Final question, we're gonna tie it up maybe right here, Kevin, in which roster category would a player, oh, I'm sorry, wrong question. Ryan Tana was born July 27th, 1988, which Tom Cruise movie premiered in theaters that same week? Which Tom Cruise movie appeared in theaters that same week, was it Top Gun, Days of Thunder, Cocktail or Risky Business? Days of Thunder. Days of Thunder, the racing movie, it was actually Cocktail. That means Dr. Lisa wins the game. Well, Lisa, congratulations and thank you all for being here, you're all heroes of mine. Guys, we got more Titans Blitz on this side, CJ2K, we'll be back, stick around, we'll be right back by the Nissan Stadium with none other than Chris Johnson, big game coming up in case you hadn't heard, Monday Night Football here at Nissan. It is our crucial catch game, we're bringing awareness to catch and cancer early. It's also very cool thing, we've got this interactive show happening that you can be a part of, so if you're coming to the game Monday Night Football, make sure your Titans app is updated so that you can be a part of the show. We'll walk you through it once you get here. All right, so, Chris, big game, Monday, you've been a part of big games, you know what this is like, what are the players feeling right now going into it because the bills, they're the big bad bills right now? Yeah, they gonna put up a lot of points. Just watching them play, they throw the ball all over the field, got two good receivers, the quarterback playing well. He playing MVP caliber right now. Yeah, well, I kind of feel like, I mean, not that the Jags are anywhere near the bills, but I felt like it's a good game to play prior to them because Trevor Lawrence is a big mobile quarterback and similar in that way. Do we need to put up 40? Yeah, yeah, we definitely, we definitely gonna have to put up some points, but you know how it is, as long as we can score more than they score or whatever, but they offense is clicking right now. Yeah. And we just gonna have to put up some points. And what do you see in their receiver in Stefan Diggs? I mean, great route runner, one of the best route runners in the league right now. Yeah. Real good against separation, catching the ball, one up top for their offense and stuff like that. That's gonna say, I often see him with a huge distance between the nearest defensive back. I mean, there's a lot of guys in the league that can catch the contested stuff to Andre Hopkins, I think about, but Diggs always seems to be by himself. Yeah, yeah, he know how to run routes. He know how to get wide open for his quarterback, so you know, he make it easy on his quarterback to throw on the ball when he's that open. Talk about the lights. Talk about playing under the lights. You mentioned, yeah, you'd love to be on the field, but you know, there's a lot of work that goes into it, and really the game is play time in a way. A guy like you that had such flash when you play, did you feel faster under the lights? Is there something that changes in you when you play under? Yeah, Monday night is different. That's like you growing up, you remember the tunes of Monday night, everybody is watching the game. Everybody's at home, around the world, bars everywhere watching the game. It just feel different. Like it's a different atmosphere, adrenaline going through your body, all that. You still feel a little bit of that when you watch the games? Oh, no, it's not the same. It's not the same at all. Yeah, you gotta be out there. It's just different. You get chills through your body when you run out of tunnel. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The Titans, obviously, I mean, we're gonna be home underdogs because we're facing what they've now considered the number one team by power rankings in the league. Is there less pressure on us in a way? I think it's less pressure on us. We ain't got nothing to lose. Yeah, still leading the division. Yeah, we leading the division. They're number one right now. So it's no pressure on us. We just gonna go in there and play our game and hopefully we, the close in the game, are leading so we can stay in our offense. If they go up by a few touchdowns then, guess what? Derrick Henry coming home of sidelines. Right, no. That would be tough for us. Seeing that, well, the reason I ask is there less pressure because I guess, do you play looser maybe in these last few seconds? Yeah, I feel like you still play loose. Yeah. You still play loose. We're not, ain't nobody, too many people gunning for us. Everybody gunning for them. They're the top dogs right now. No, that's true. Listen, I love me some Derrick Henry, but I'd love to see 28 back on the field in time for two, man. It'd be good to see you out there again. Chris Johnson, thank you so much for being here. To our blessed cancer survivors, thank you for fighting and thank you for being here, guys. Monday night, bro!
