 The Monster, Derek Henry, Seth, Rashawn Evans, A.J. Brown, taking them to school. We welcome you to another edition of Titan's All Access with Amy Wells. I'm Mike Keith and Coach Dave McGinnis from Titans Radio's here. So you know it's a special show. How is everybody? Amy, how are you? So good. And Coach Mack, I know you're ready because it's time to review the schedule. Mike Keith and Amy Wells, I can't wait for this. I absolutely love this. All right, I'm gonna jump right in and take a look at the Titans 2020 schedule. So here we go. The Tennessee Titans are gonna open up in prime time. The final game of kickoff weekend, the Titans will play at Denver Monday Night Football September the 14th. The game will kick off at 9, 10 central time. By the way, September 14th is the latest date for a Titans first game ever and the latest first game for the franchise since 1977. The Titans will host their home opener the following Sunday, September 20th at Nissan Stadium against AFC South rival, Jacksonville. Week three sees Tennessee travel to Minnesota. The last time the Titans and the Vikings met the 2016 season opener. The first quarter of the season ends with a home date against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Then come two more games at Nissan Stadium. That's right, the Titans have three straight home games to begin October. Following the game with the Steelers the Titans host Buffalo on October the 11th and Houston on October the 18th. The bye week comes in week seven. Tennessee will then hit the road for the first time in six weeks as the Titans make a November first visit to Cincinnati. Only a brief road trip as it's back to Nissan Stadium for two more in a row. The Bears come to Nashville on November the 8th and then the Colts hit town for Thursday night football on November the 12th. From there, lots and lots of road work. At Baltimore on November the 22nd at Indianapolis on November the 29th. December starts with a visit from the Cleveland Browns. The Titans then head south to Jacksonville on December the 13th. Week 15, final home game of the regular season. Tennessee will host Detroit on either Saturday, December 19th or Sunday, December the 20th. That date will be determined later in the regular season. And then the very tough ending. Sunday night football at Green Bay on December the 27th. Followed by at Houston in week 17. That comes on January the 3rd. So Amy Wells, I'm going to turn it over to you and Coach Mack to kind of hit it here. Take us through the high points of what you just heard. Coach Mack, you are the authority on all things coaching. So as a coach, what is the first thing that you look at when you receive the schedule? Well, the first thing that stands out to me when I just look at it. I want to see where the AFC games are. Not necessarily where the division games are. I want to see where the conference games are. And it really sticks out to me. We've got four at home early. Five of six of those AFC games. So there are three prime time games for the Tennessee Titans. Is that a reflection of how much success the Tennessee Titans had in 2019? It absolutely is. I mean, that's the reward that comes with having a significant season before. And clearly getting to the AFC championship game, this is very much a validation of what you did last year. People want to see it. I love it. Now, it seems to me that having three straight home games is a pretty big advantage for the Tennessee Titans. So I have two questions here. Is that true first? And then what does the team have to do to really take advantage of having three home games in a row? Well, I mean, we just listened to Mike Keith say when he paused after he got through the home game, the early schedule, that now you have to go on the road. If you're going to reap the benefits of three home games, you're going to have to pay the toll in away games later on in the season. So when you get those home games early, I mean, the very definite answer is, you have to first, you have to be prepared for it. You got to win them. Now, here's another two-part question. Which is the bigger challenge, Coach Mack? Is it harder to have a very, very, very, very late Monday night game in Denver and then a short week to get ready for Jacksonville or to have back-to-back road games in November at Baltimore and at Indy? Back-to-back at Baltimore at Indy, late in the season. Here's the reasons why. Late in the season, at Baltimore, you're thinking whether to begin with, right? You're whether to begin with. Those are AFC games, much more difficult. Look, if you're going to play the opener on Monday night, you want to have a division opponent that you are familiar with on the following Sunday. Because your preparation can already be in the can. You know who you're playing. The tough thing about playing on the road on Monday night for an opener is if, when you come back, your second opponent is also an unfamiliar opponent. Because that just puts a lot of strain on your pre-preparation. So are you pleased with having a week seven buy? Is that a good time for a buy week? Well, I mean, any coach is going to tell you that the buy is fine with them. Because you've got no control over it. But look, you've got those six games before that buy. And as I've already mentioned, you've got four of those at home, five of them are AFC games. I mean, you could get geared up and gunned up. And you come through those with advantageous wins. You've set yourself up pretty nice. All right, Coach Mack. Give me the game on the schedule that jumps out at you the most and tell us why. I am looking at that at Indie game late. You're in the grind part of the season then. You're going to go to a very emotional game at Baltimore. I mean, that's going to be going into some real hostile territory, but you have to be Indie at Indie. We got over that hurdle a little last year. We got to keep jumping that hurdle. All right, let's talk about a couple other things going on with the Titans outside of schedule. A guy that we've seen a lot of in the last few years, Jonathan Joseph, a defensive back from the Houston Texans, signed by the Titans as a free agent. How can Jonathan Joseph factor into the Titans defense in 2020? Mike, I listened to his press conference today and I was really impressed. I mean, you can tell that that's a vet. He's a vet. He gets it. One of the best answers he had. Look, I coached a Hall of Fame cornerback in Aeneas Williams. And I could just hear Aeneas talking through what Jonathan Joseph was saying. The question was about his 4-3-1 speed. He said, look, I ran 4-3-1 one time. I haven't run a 40 since. He said, there's a time to run fast and there's a time to know when to play fast. That was such a veteran answer. Just listening to that guy talk, he's exactly who you want on your team. He's exactly who you want in the locker room. I mean, I'm going to be a favorite of this guy immediately. The good news about him is I don't know if he runs 4-3-1 anymore, but I'm confident that he doesn't run 5-3-1. Well, let me just say this. Any time your starting point is 4-3-1, if you get slower from there, you're still a fast human. You're still OK. Coach David McGinnis, thank you so much for taking time with us on Titans All Access. Well, my pleasure. Love it. All right. When we come back, Amy Wells is going to do some checking in in John Robinson's house with his daughters, Taylor and Bailey. Stay tuned. Hey, guys, this is Mike Brable from the Tennessee Titans. I want to thank all those amazing doctors and nurses and health care professionals at St. Thomas and Ascension during this COVID-19. Your dedication and your service and your determination to help our community has not gone unnoticed. I want to thank you for putting our community's well-being before your own, and hopefully that we can emulate what you guys have done during this trying time. I want to thank you again. Taylor and Bailey Robinson are the daughters of Titans general manager John Robinson. But that's not really your claim to fame. Your claim to fame is producing all the video content for the Tennessee Titans during the draft. You gave us all of the behind-the-scenes looks. So hello. It's good to see you guys. Hi. Now I want to know what it was like really spending time with your dad during the draft. Most of the time it was fine. He was pretty chill until it got to when we were about to make the pick. And we were in the draft room and it was just, I was like stressed just watching him let alone. Like I can't imagine what he was thinking. But overall it was very good, very chill. It was cool to see dad speaking to all of them and seeing who they picked and the whole draft. Now Taylor, was there anything that surprised you seeing this whole process unfold? I honestly, just how busy it all was was surprising. I knew it would be like obviously it'd be busy. It's a very stressful thing. But just even online how much is going on and how it's like there's even at the last minute he could make a trade like in my mind like watching it at home in previous years I think, oh he knows what he's doing already. He's going into it kind of set in stone plan but it's not like that at all. Like right before we picked, I can't remember when. He was calling people about to trade and I was like, what is going on? Like it was just crazy. Whose idea was it to have you guys be such a big part of this at home drafting process? So I started making those little videos like throughout the week like showing kind of what our quarantine was like and Nate, he's in charge of like the Titan social media and everything. He posted one a few weeks ago and he reached out to me and my mom and was like, do you think Taylor would want to help get us some content because we can't, no one, there would be no other way to get content. And so me and Bailey just started videoing and it was really fun. Now you mentioned that vlog that you guys have been putting up. How did that start? And how did you convince your parents to be part of it? So it started over spring break with my friend and that's when like the first one happened and over spring break, it was just us and every day we did a little vlog and it was like less than five minutes, super short. And then I started doing them, like at home we'd going, you know, deliver my friends, you know, Starbucks was during quarantine and just like doing all these other things and it just become more and more, just more things that we're vlogging. It's really fun. Bailey, have you gotten a lot of attention for your showcase on the vlog? Yes. My dad said that a lot of people laugh at like the, for the first vlog, he said that everyone, like the different parts of like that screaming a lot. And then I hand the stop screaming. Do you guys like having him home during this draft? Is that kind of a cool thing? Yeah, it was really cool. Like it was a really cool once in a life experience. Like I don't know when I'll be able to do something like that again. It was really cool just to see behind scenes. And it was like, I like how I get to see like every day and the earlier in time and then I get to eat dinner a lot. All right, well girls, we have high expectations for more Robinson family content coming to us soon. Thank you so much for taking some time to chat with me a little bit. Yeah, thanks for having us. Thank you. Hi guys, this is Jeff from Simmonds. I just want to give a major shout out to all the doctors and nurses that essential same time is. And I just want to tell you how much we appreciate you guys and keep going, working hard. Thank you guys. Amy Wells and I are pleased to be joined on Titans All Access by our friend, Lance Smith. Lance, welcome to the program. Hey guys, good to see you. Even if it is in these little boxes, we're getting used to this way of life, but I can't wait to see you face to face again. All right, well, we look forward to seeing you as well. And we look forward to hearing about this week's Titans fan who's in our 49th state I hear. Ah, very good. Yeah, that's right, Alaska. Mike, I love hearing from fans far and wide and we have a really great international fan base. You know, the Titans brand travels. Well, we've got a huge German fan base that comes to the games. But this guy, John up in Alaska, I met on social media some years ago. He said, you got a cool job. I said, I know. And I actually got to meet him face to face when he came to a game last season. But I thought who better to interview for our fan zone piece than this guy, my guy up in Alaska, JD, who got fan zoned. Join now from way up north, my buddy, JD Richardson. How are you, man? I'm fantastic, man. Thank you. It's so good to talk to you. You live in Alaska. You're repping the Titans gear. How does someone in Alaska become a Tennessee Titans fan? Yeah, it all happened. I think I was like eight years old and it was a Sunday morning. I think I was waiting for my family to get ready for church and turned on some NFL football. I saw the two-tone blue, Eddie George, Steve McNair and they got me into football. So we're not really obligated to a specific team up here. A lot of people, they like to go with the Seattle Seahawks because of the closest state to us. I'm different and chose my own path and stuck with the Titans. Do you have a favorite Titan player of all time? I do have a favorite player. It's Eddie George. I was born on July 27th and that's one of the things that got me interested in the Titans. I saw Eddie tear it up, we're in 27. But besides Eddie, I'd probably have to say Javon Curse, the freak. So he was a lot of fun to watch, really charismatic and we drafted him. So he used the original type. Yeah, like you, see, I'm September 27th, my birthday, 9 27, so I've got the full look up there. What's the most common misconception someone say from Tennessee might have about someone who lives in Alaska, like your lifestyle? Yeah, I probably say there's no snow 24-7. We do have seasons. It's a pretty typical upbringing, but we're obviously distant from people, but we're not isolated. We're well connected with everyone else in the lower 48, but kind of exotic in its own way. Yeah, no, that's great. So you're not, that's not an igloo that you're actually living in currently. Yeah, it's a three-story igloo. That's great, man. Thank you for hopping on here. Hey, you're a super chill dude. I'm glad we're friends. I'm glad I met online before you go. From way long distance, give me a big old tighten up. I know. There you go, JD, you've been fanzoned. I appreciate it, man. Take care. Thank you, man. Take care. Lance is always an adventure when you're on this show and who knew you were going to take us all the way to Alaska. Thanks, Lance. Thanks, guys. All right, we have so much more Titans All Access when we return, including a trip into the community to do a little bit of good with Blues Clues himself, Joshua Kalu. Stick around. Hey, this is just a special message to all those caretakers, all those people out there in the front line trying to take care of this pandemic, man. Just want to tell you, we appreciate you. Keep up the fight. We couldn't do this without you. My wife herself is a nurse. She's out there in the front line. So I definitely have an understanding and appreciation for what y'all do and just keep it going. God bless. We're always proud of our Tennessee Titans when they get out in the community. But right now, well, even more so. Amy, a lot of our frontline medical people and our emergency responders are getting visits from Tennessee Titans and it's making a difference. Absolutely, Mike Keith, it feels like everywhere you look, there's a Tennessee Titan lending a hand. Taylor Lawon and Ryan Tannehill have been donating food and speaking with first responders. John O. Smith has been donating meals. Malcolm Butler has been collecting supplies. There are so many Titans out in the community right now. We could do a whole show just on this topic alone. But right now, we're going to show you one of the latest examples of a Titan in his community making a difference. This is Joshua Kalu in Houston. Watch this. Y'all keep doing your thing there. I'm a comfy gel and everything's a big deal. I got y'all. We all agree. I know. You're about to be hangry. Nah, don't do that now. Don't do that. Those patients need tender love and affection, you know what I'm saying? Okay. Yeah. I'm gonna make sure your belly's good so y'all can go ahead and do your thing. We all say it live. I know, that's what I'm saying. Okay. All right, I'll see y'all soon. Okay, bye-bye. Everyone likes it. Thank you for your support. Plenty of people, they'll be eating very well. To a friend of mine, family friend, grilled with this guy and went to high school with him. His family owns a restaurant. Stopping to be messy grills. Very local. Limp it up in the kitchen doing everything you need to do. I'm so glad to help. And if you need anything else, let us know. I'm from Ailey, Texas. And we got to look out for each other. Community's a big thing, you know. We're all trying to stick together, band together. But everything going on. I told myself, let me use local businesses and support our nurses at the same time. Now in the back, we got a whole bunch of food. Nicely prepared rice, shish kebabs. We got chicken, steak. We got comets in the back. We got salad in the back and the breadsticks. Not just some sandwiches. I don't have to do a beer for them. You know, they've been battling and battling. Long hours, day and night. My sister, she's one of the people that I'm feeding today too. And I have another sister in New York right now. She sees the first hands. She's been telling us it's not discriminated. It's something that everybody should take serious. I just felt like all this is about to be to go out and do what I can to support our nurses and everybody in that field. And my guy Obo to pull up. Los Angeles Rams, you know, come help and support. My name is Joshua Kalu. Got a company called Free Blue. My mission is to use local businesses to help out our local nurses, you know, keep fighting. Let them know that we're here to support them and they can keep supporting those patients, giving them tender love and care and affection and all of them good stuff. Thank you. When Amy Wells and I come back, we talk about honors for the Tennessee Titans from the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame. That's next on Titans All Accents. On August the first at the Omni Nashville, the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame will induct its 55th class. Gonna be a lot of fun.

Terry Crisp, it's gonna be a big night but you know what else they do? They have a slate of honorees and the Tennessee Titans, Amy Wells, are a big part of that. That's so awesome. It's such a big night, the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame induction. And I think Titans fans would like to be involved, Mike Heath, can you tell them how to do that? So if you wanna be a part of what is gonna be a great night, the honorees, the inductees, everything that goes on, let's repeat it once again. Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame, August the first, Omni Nashville. For tickets, go to tshf.net.
