 Flacco looking floats it downfield and it is incomplete. No, it's intercepted intercepted by Byrd. How did he catch it? 30 40 45 and down. I Can't believe it Glad to have you with us for the Mike Vrables show with the head coach. I'm Mike Keith Titans getting ready to play the Chargers on Sunday, but coming off a defeat at the hands of Denver You met with the team yesterday trying to get everybody ready to go back to work. What was the message? Well, I mean, I think what we do is we try to Go through the film teach coach Hold guys accountable and make sure that everybody's on the same page and of all those emotions and things that happened I think that I'm hopeful. I'm hopeful that We have the guys I know we have the guys in place to to get this thing going to turn it around This league does not feel sorry for you. There's another team coming in. We have to quickly move on Unfortunately, we're moving on after a loss But but our message is gonna stay the same We have to do everything we can do to prepare for the Chargers to Eliminate the mistakes that that cost us and continue to do the things that are helping us win Let's take a look at Mike Vrables six-pack six plays that affected the ball game for sure in Denver Starts off with a special teams play and one certainly unusual for the Titans gave up a return to Deontay Spencer Yeah, we'd banged one down there Brett Brett let one loose there in a thin air 59 yarder We got to do a better job of cutting the field and then we get you know, the guys at the guard to tackle the wing We got to get out there Again great effort, but unfortunately, I don't think it should have come to that, you know, we gave up you know the field goal and We got a great punt and we have to cover it wherever he kicks it however far he kicks it That's what we have to do. Nice job by Kevin Byrd to make the tackle one thing you had preached last week was improving red zone defense After the return the Broncos get into the red zone and you get a good play from Malcolm Butler to get you off the Feet a great play. So you see wood there with the the Blitz He's mirroring the hand of the quarterback Malcolm's playing man coverage the biggest thing he doesn't do is he doesn't look back and find the ball He plays the man and he gets a huge pass disruption ball disruption PBU right there It's playing through and he's finishing and he's not staring back at the quarterback letting the guy get separation So it's three nothing at that point Broncos we go to the second quarter Broncos are on the move They're looking for more. They have third down in one at the Titan 35 and here he comes Rashaan Evans. Yeah, and Jarell Casey, you know Jarell's seed to the left end Jarell's down in that double team and he goes underneath through that double team He comes out the other side and Rashaan triggers for a great huge short yarded stop You can see Jarell pop up right there kind of get his legs and then Rashaan finishes them off. So again, I don't want to let the Jarell's play inside go unnoticed He allows the double team allows you know Rashaan to clean them up right there unblocked Jarell Casey with six tackles in the Ballgame Rashaan Evans with eleven So it's six to nothing at the half and then in the third quarter the Broncos get the game's only touchdown You saw Phillip Lindsey stopped a moment ago. Unfortunately this time he was not. Yeah, just not good enough down there you know that's second and goal and We have to do a better job. We have to find a way to get that ball on the edge and not let him crease us inside That was a key and force them to kick field goals when they got down there And then that in that situation we just weren't able to get it done You are able to force him to kick a field goal in the fourth quarter due to the veteran Wesley Woodyard Well, he almost knocks him out of field goal range, and I think that it's a well executed defense You can see some movement going on up front Wood with a tight course around there in a game and you know legally Hits the quarterback really good hit, you know great coverage I thought that was a well executed play by our defense and and they had quite a bit of them in the game This was just another one of them Wesley Woodyard playing for the injured Jay on Brown eight tackles and that his 28th career sack One of the best catches of the year for the Titans came from Second-year tight end Anthony Firks are his first catch of the year. Well, we get a good pocket We can step up and throw and you know, we're throwing it over coverage to man So they're undercutting us, you know Fert goes up tax the football You know Ryan Ryan puts it in a spot where you know, he feels like first the only guy that can get it They're playing underneath them and he throws it high and is able to to come up with a huge catch Should he have been ruled down there? That's not my decision. I I Don't think so Looks like he's back up again I think that you know that the the back judge came in there and and pretty much demonstratively marked them down The back judge Had it at the five if you know My thought was that we could score there. My thought was that These challenges are tricky sure and to to risk a challenge for five yards With a timeout that I knew we would need if we were going to score and come back and win the football game Somehow to get a stop to keep the clock in our advantage You know, I think there was about three minutes and 10 or 15 seconds left when that play happened Nice catch by Ferks are nonetheless when we come back to Bridgestone clutch performance of the game and It's the mayor of Murphy's borough again. Stay with us for more of the Mike Brayville show Fans attending Sunday's Titans game are asked to bring non perishable food items to donate to second Harvest Food Bank of Middle, Tennessee Volunteers will be stationed outside Nissan Stadium beginning at 1 o'clock and will accept donations until kickoff Please help second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee this Sunday as the Titans post the charge The Bridgestone clutch performance of the game It has to go to Kevin Byrd for his 15th career Interception and if you were listening to Titans radio, you know, I blew it Look at it. I know you said it was incomplete I did you know, you go back and you watch de Kwan Jones and Harold run a great game Harold's coming up the middle of the pocket There he is he forces a high throw that up in his son goes off the back of Phant You know Kevin's great hands catch the ones they throw you you know Well, we're gonna need him to fix the return skills a little bit We'll take that one to the house and get them any way we can get them, but huge play Gets us back into field position and these are the things that we got to do a better job of taking advantage of You know short fields with the return game. We got a good return and plus 50 these turnovers And we got to turn those into points. All right. Look at something else Kevin Byrd did in the game This is a third down and four pass. This is a 240 pound running back He's gonna tackle in the flat. Look at him put him down Half yard short of the first down. Yep. He he stays on his feet You know so many times we we see guys and you know, you leave your feet and you get them maybe down and they fall forward You know, he stays on his feet. He runs through the trap tackle gives up no yardage after the catch Really good to size guys again You saw wood Impact in the play coming through the middle of pocket got his hand up thought again that was a well You know coordinated defense give the players and coaches credit. You're ready to see the Delta Guess the hardest part of the week other than I'm not doing well last week. Go ahead. All right. Let's see the player Coach Mike Vrable Delta dental guess the Titan Can you guess this Titan? All right, think about it coach We need to go to break and when we come back Mike Vrable will have his gas He is two of four on the season Guessing the Titan sponsored by our friends at Delta dental stay with us for more of the Mike Vrable show You got a hint No hand Coach Mike Vrable, it's your show It's your chance to guess the Delta dental guess the Titan feature. Who is that Tennessee Titan? First of all, I don't think we have anybody on our team that that's that's thinking cute I mean we it's impossible, but I'm going to go with Darius Jennings Darius Jennings is the guess. It's Rashaun Evans That that's not it's impossible Rashaun Evans is not that cute or good looking like that's That baby's adorable. That's not it's it. Yes, I'll I'll agree Speaking of linebackers as I change the subject quickly Wesley Woodyard is our gladiator of the game and with good reason He did a heck of a job for you in the ball game. He's a phenomenal leader. He's a great player for us Tough physical. He cares He's always prepared and he leads not only the the linebackers the defense The special teams but this team and and we're lucky to have him. We're lucky to have his leadership And again, he was ready to go immediately. He was in the game executed everything that we needed him to do You saw him blitz there on third down and it was huge for us Amy Wells was excited to sit down with this week's guy co gladiator of the game Wesley It's a mindset fellow Wesley you were an undrafted free agent you were signed by denver in 2008 spent six seasons there Going back and playing in that stadium where it all began. What was that experience like for you? It was amazing. I I know I've been waiting for like six years just to go back there and You know run out of the tunnels see that sea of orange and you know It was cool for for me because I was able to go back during a ceremonial time when they were Honoring mr. Bowling resting piece champ bailey. I got to see some of my old teammates there a lot of old friends So it was good going back nice welcoming, but at the end I only wanted to get that win I only wanted to win was it a little emotional being back there and seeing those people again Yeah, it was it was a little emotional. I caught myself at one point before the game Like all right Don't tear up because I started thinking about my goal as a ricky was like I'm gonna run out of the tunnel as a starter and then like I got to all those emotions start coming up And it just made me more hungry. I'm like, ah, don't do it Did you take a moment to reflect on how far you've come from being that rookie who just wanted to run out of the Tunnel to now being in your 12th season Yeah, looking back on it, man. I've been extremely blessed I've played a lot of good football been on a lot of good teams played with a lot of great players Oh You had the only tight and sack in that game Tell me about that moment. What were you seeing on that play? Walk me through it a little bit That was a great defensive scheme that our defensive coordinator d&p's drew up last week for us kind of a Fake gimme blitz on my side teasing off mr. Guard on my side and then I looped around And that was a free sack that that blitz had been open the whole game. I got three pressures on it And finally I was able to cash in making big plays in the fourth quarter of the game Even when you're having such a frustrating day of football Does that demonstrate in your mind leadership skills or leadership abilities? Right because you know, it doesn't matter if you're up 21 or down 21 your approach should be the same You know, I want to go out there. I want to be great. I want to win this down I want to dominate the guy across from me And we have a lot of great guys on our team that understand that and that get it And you know being on the defensive side You can see like the passion the fuel and the fire that god's having to get on the field How do you guys stick so close together on that side of the ball and continue to improve week after week after week Man because we love to compete against each other You know when you see a guy like kb make a player a guy like jay i make a play You see rishon come in and make a big tackle And it's like it fuels us and now you got guys on the sideline like oh, I want to get a pick So that's where we are as a defense man. We know what it takes to win and we know how to keep You know ourselves into the game For this titans team is a hole going forward How important is leadership going to be in that some of this team's leaders including yourself Really step up and take the lead every day. We've got to come to work without lunch pill our heart has on Guys looked up for us for advice and for guidance to to make right decisions and to show them the way When things get hard and that's where I you know You have to have great leaders in place to lead the team because it's not going to be easy peasy all the time It's going to be hard You're going to meet adversity and you need those strong pillar of guys and you're locking on to hold everybody accountable And that's what we have to do the adversity is what makes the wins even sweeter. That's amazing I like that quote Best titans play to end the first half. That's easy Monday night football october 30th 2000 in our nation's capital One of the best to ever play cornerback in tennessee titans history samari roll running out the clock by running 81 yards johnson snaps it Looking 40 45 50 he's got Samari roll actually had a second Interception in the game as he stepped in front of his boyhood idol deon sanders As sanders was actually in the game on offense with washington desperate for speed lake Samari roll finished the 2000 season with seven interceptions and made the pro ball Welcome back to the mic for able show NFL players coaches and staff get to do many cool things One of the best parts of the job using their power as celebrities to bring light into people's lives Especially the lives of children One of the best ways that the titans do that is in partnership with make-a-wish of middle tennessee This is brison and obviously brison is a superstar After all look at how the tennessee titans reacted to him being around the team recently They were just as excited to meet brison as he was to meet them or at least it was close The tennessee titans are brison's team He's with the titans 24 7 365 days a year And so when make-a-wish of middle tennessee offered brison his own wish He made it clear that he wanted to be with his team his guys He's non-verbal he can say a few words But he can use his device and he'll talk about this forever and jj will too This is his brother because they're real close. He'll say when I get home I play with jj video games mad and tennessee titans like that's how he talks on his device, but this it's It's been fun. This is a memory that will last forever for us and if we can get a picture and just blow it up I'm sure brison will look at it every day morning, noon and night The tennessee titans and make-a-wish of middle tennessee form an incredible team Giving youngsters like brison something that money cannot buy Lasting memories that come from one-on-one contact or sometimes entire team contact My favorite part is watching their faces the family's faces the wish kids face the siblings faces Just almost stunned to see their heroes in real life Jayden even said they're so much bigger than I even thought they would be they look little on tv so just to hear that sort of Thank to see it come to life for them is Indescribable it's so fun as you can see it's just as much fun for the titans The organization's commitment to make a wish of middle tennessee is long-standing And when a special guest like brison hits the field Every member of the titans team whether an on-field or off-field staffer Takes part in trying to make the latest visit Bigger and better than the last and the make-a-wish staff clearly appreciates the effort Honestly, it's the easiest process probably of any wish we do the titans are so great about just working with us All we have to do is call and say we have a wish kid And they drop everything and playing the wish for us playing the day for us We just show up and they make them feel like stars and they love it. Love it like we do Coach rabel, why is make-a-wish so important to you? Well, I think that it just shows The impact that our organization and our players Can have and and also the impact that those people and those children can have on us You know you win with people And we got the right people here To win and to do things and i'm proud of our players for what they do on an off-field But that was that was special those those kids that come in here And brison was excited and the joy that he had that uh that saturday and sunday You guys are great to make him happy like that good stuff coach. Thank you good stuff Let's get a break and when we come back mike rabels keys to success to beat the los angeles chargers Stay with us for more of the mike rabels show Mike rabels keys to success to knocking off the los angeles chargers. It begins with run the dang ball Mike we got to get started. We got to run it from two back offense. We got to run it from one back gun 11 personnel, you know, there's different ways to run the football and I and nobody wants to hear and Neither do I that that we were close on some plays that you know the other day We we got to make sure that we're consistently running the football with the backs that we have Open up some things offensively the play passes off of it You know whatever else we're trying to design But but I think that we got to get back to run on the football chargers have a good returner in desmond king You know, we have to be able to corral this guy. Um, they're probably licking their chops after last week Uh, he had a touchdown two weeks ago. He's a strong runner He's not somebody that probably is going to circle you up, but he breaks a lot of tackles He's got great vision and he's fearless Phillip rivers is the quarterback for the chargers one of the things that he does well Third down conversion. It's really strength on strength They're there fourth in the league and and I think we're in the top five defensively They're they're converting at almost 50% on third down. They're maintaining possessions Continuing those drives and it'll be critical for us defensively To get off the field. You certainly know the challenge. You saw them one year ago in london. That's it And uh, you know, we got to get to work this time It's at nissan stadium game time is 305. We hope you'll listen to the game on titans radio We're on one oh four five the zone in nashville beginning at two On sunday the titans and the chargers from nissan stadium We hope to see you there for head coach mike brable.
