 Welcome to the bet MGM studio and Titans all access with Amy Wells. I'm Mike Keith. We're so glad you're with us as we move deep into November or deeper into November at least and get ready for the Chicago Bears. It's a 1202 kickoff central time in Nashville here on Sunday or on the air at Titans radio at 11 a.m. with Titans countdown. Lots to talk about with the Bears but Amy Wells one thing passed on Tuesday and that was the trade deadline. Absolutely so no better person to ask about it than Titans general manager John Robinson. John you traded for Desmond King. Why is he a good fit for the Tennessee Titans? I mean he was a player that we liked out of Iowa when he was coming out in the draft you know played for Coach Farrance there a good football program was off to a successful start with his pro career there and with the Chargers productive player mostly in there a slot corner and kick returner and punt returner. He's an instinctive player got good awareness and coverage. He's an aggressive player. He's top. He can blitz. So it just felt like he was a player that we could utilize his skill set for us defensively and also in the return game. We look forward to seeing Desmond King as a Titan and we look forward to seeing the Titans take on the Bears. And so as we dive into your regular part of this segment the Farm Bureau Insurance Scouting Report let's talk about a Bears team that you haven't seen since 2016 your first year as general manager when the Titans won at Chicago 27 to 21 the Bears don't have one player on their roster today who handled the ball in that game four years ago. So not only is it an unfamiliar opponent it's a team that's totally turned over. How tough is it to prepare for a team like that. Yeah any time you know that you're on that cycle when you're playing teams in the NFC that you see you know once every four years or so you're having to learn their personnel. We did play them in the preseason last year but I would say most of the players that we're going to face probably didn't play in that game at that point in the season. It's a challenge. You know there's going to a lot of film study by our coaches certainly by our players and our scouting staff trying to get the scouting report together the game planned together. You know as we prepare for these guys. When you think about the five and three Chicago Bears you think about defense. What is it about their defense that impresses you. The personnel scheme is really good but the personnel is outstanding you know they really got playmakers at all levels of the defense up front with you know Hicks on the inside Robert Quinn who they added in free agency on the edge and then Khalil Mack who's one of the best if not the best edge players in the game. Two really good linebackers with speed and instincts and Trevathan and Roquan Smith and then in the secondary Eddie Jackson is one of the top safeties in the league fullers and outstanding player at corner and the rookies make it to play Jalen Johnson at Utah for him on the at the other corner. The Bears are quarterbacked by Nick Foles at this point in the season. He started against you last November when he was playing for the Jacksonville Jaguars. Does that help you prepare for Nick Foles. Yeah I mean I think you can you can look at the skill set and what his physical attributes are as a player obviously it's a different system it's a different offensive scheme. He's a taller player he's a really good athlete for a taller player. He's got a good arm and most importantly he's won a lot of football games. He's found ways to make plays in crunch time in crucial situations and big games so you know having the familiarity with his physical skill set but knowing out of the moxie that he possesses it's at least it's something good to kind of have in our back pocket. What do the Bears like to do on offense. Yeah they're they're pretty multiple you know coach Nagy coming from a coach reach system there in Kansas City. They do a lot of stuff a lot of motion get the ball in their playmakers hands obviously you know they got a pretty pretty unique tandem at running back Montgomery out of Iowa State. He's a tough guy to tackle. Horderill Patterson plays back there some give him the ball he's good with the ball in his hands. Allen Robinson is a premium receiver. Miller who played at Memphis is a really good catch and run player they got two speedsters in the rookie Mooney and Ted Yen and then everybody knows about Jimmy Graham who is a perennial all-pro player at tight end so they got a lot of weapons they do a lot of stuff offensively to try to keep you on your heels. John special teams obviously a concern because of two words that you just said a moment ago and that is Cordero Patterson. I mean he's an impact player in the return game and you know I think the one thing is certainly his physical skill set with his speed his make-missibility but the confidence that he has I mean he'll bring it out eight nine yards deep in the end zone because he's confident in his skill set he's a tough guy to tackle he gets to he gets the full speed really quickly sees the field really well he's instinctive with the ball in his hands so we'll have to do a good job trying to contain him. For the Tennessee Titans what will they have to do well to beat the Bears on Sunday. Just like we talked about the kicking game we got to do a really good job you know handling handling Patterson we got to be good execution on our operations with our punts and our kicks you know offensively we got to stick on these guys up front you know they've got a really good front seven we got to stay on our blocks Derek's got to get downhill we got to take care of the football got to be physical with the with this secondary and the in these linebackers because they like to play a physical game so we got to match that and then defensively for us we got to handle handle all the multiples that they throw at you got to get pressure on foals we've got to get off the field on third down we say it every week but that's important for us this week to get off the field on third down get the ball back to our offense. John let's get a win Sunday against the Bears. That's playing my appreciate you guys. All right John Robinson Titans general manager with his Farm Bureau insurance scouting report of this weekend's opponent. What else is coming up on Titans all access. Let's take a look Derek Henry. That's right the NFL's leading rusher sits down to talk football exclusively with Mike Keith and this week's knees on insider. We've also got a feature on a trip to Fort Campbell that helps get the Titans salute to service weekend started and Mike and Amy go over the three P's which are the three keys to beating the Bears. But up next on Titans all access the return of the Mac coach Dave McGinnis goes beneath the surface for a look at why CD is shaking up opposing secondary. This is coach Mack welcome to beneath the surface powered by Microsoft surface. Today we are going to look at the highly productive day that wide receiver Corey Davis number 84 and for the Tennessee Titans versus the Cincinnati Bengals. What we're looking at here this is 12 personnel. Watch the tight end move across the formation and now what we're going to see you got a double stack on both sides. Tanya Hill let's it go down the sideline to Corey Davis. Huge catch down the sideline big flip of field position first down Titans watch the pass protection very good cylinder to throw from Tanya Hill can step into the throw big completion. Next play we're looking at again we motion over the trips formation we bring the tight end back across the formation to block on the edge. Now this is off of the play action look. Watch the move off of the play action you plenty of time Corey Davis across the field transcontinental TRC big catch combat catch first down Titans. Again this is 21 personnel now two backs two wides one tight in the ball game. This is an eye over formation and I strong formation. Look at the cut split on the backside the numbers split at the top side again what we're seeing off of the cut split on the backside is a deep out. This is a timing route that's extremely important Titans know that now they have man coverage off of this look you got the eighth man dropping down into the box. You've got man coverage. You got the cut split to the backside. Now it's one on one. This is a timing route and a placement route nice catch strong catch Corey Davis having a big day. Now we're in the low red zone. We've got 11 personnel in the ball game. This is three wides one tight one back. When you look at the formation you will see that Corey Davis is going to get man coverage now off of this look. This is a chip with the tight end to allow a little extra time to throw then Corey Davis matched up one on one on the outside. Watch the footwork. Watch the concentration of Corey Davis going up. This is a hands catch. Look at the throw. Look at the going up and then watch the athleticism being able to drag both feet as he's going out of bounds. Big day for Corey Davis.

Welcome back to Titans All Access. The Nissan Insider has been one of my favorite parts of the show for all 18 years. But in this show, even a little better, Amy. It's extra, extra special. Extra, extra special. Because it's the king. It's the king himself. Derek Henry is our Nissan Insider. That's a good stiff arm. Stiff arm. No strong. Stiff arm. A lot of great athletes who watch you play say Derek Henry. Wow. Are there athletes that you watch play their particular sport and you say wow? I was a, well, still is a big Corey Bryant fan. Corey Bryant fan. So I always was in awe and wowed him. And big Dan Thompson fan. Same thing, wowed with him. And I go on and on. Eddie, I can go on and on about running backs and just about players. Right now, you know, the Brian James, you know, we best playing basketball right now. You know, wow, what he does. And incredible, you know, the God giving talent that we were blessed with. And the things that we're able to do with these sports, it's a blessing. You know, I'm all different sports. A lot of players that, you know, you feel wowed and appreciate the greatness that they bring to the sport. Derek, this job for you every single week involves a lot of contact. You dish it out, you take it. What is your routine like to take care of your body as you come off a game and move towards the next game? I have a team that I work with, take care of my body. Just doing the things that, you know, I've done week after week, that's have my body prepare. We doing things here at the facility to give me my great trainers and do a great job. I'll wait and just have to do a great job. And, you know, our coaches have a great job taking care of us, make sure we're ready, you know, throughout the week. And, you know, when you're away from the facility, you got to make sure that you know what you need to do to take care of your body. So I have people that, you know, help me and make sure my body's right. Week in and week out. So be ready for Sunday. Derek, how long did it take you to develop that routine as far as taking care of your body? It didn't really take me long. I think the more that, you know, you talk to guys who've done it for a long time at a high level and the things that they've done, you know, when you're a young guy, it's just to see, you know, what they do to keep their body in shape and keep their body where they can play at a high level and see what works for you. And that's what I've done. And, you know, appreciate those guys who gave me some hints and out what they do to take care of their body. We've got the week and I'll have, you know, my routine for working for me, you know, to do it. Ran the ball very well at Cincinnati as a team. 29 carries for 118 yards. What did the Titans do well in the run game at Cincinnati that you hope to keep up this week against Chicago? My thing was just a mindset, lying to the great job of, you know, dominating line of scrimmage, opening up holes, tight ends. She did a great job of getting on there guys and us as back-to-date jobbers making our reason to get downhill. That's all there is to it. It's having the world to want to, to dominate the men in front of you and put the hat on the hat. And I'm like, the guys did a great job by doing that, of course, to have success running the ball. You mentioned during several interviews, Jeremy McNichols and what a great job he's been doing as your backup. But I saw you congratulate Deontay Foreman at Cincinnati when he went in and ran well. What does it mean to you when a young guy like that goes in, gets a chance and does the job well like Foreman did? I think it's great. When we first came in this league, he was very effective and packed success with the Texans. You know, like, you know, anybody else have a little adversity, but he's back now and, you know, I'm glad he's with us and able to help us. And, you know, when you see guys, you know, come in and break hard and then it pays off, you know, on the field, but it motivates you. I think we all move by each other when we're all having success and able to gain yards and able to help the team. And we all just beat up each other and those guys have been doing a great job. Finally, what's the challenge of taking on the Bears defense for Derek Henry and the rest of the Titans offense? Yeah, they're very physical, very athletic linebackers. It's not fun. The guys that can rush the passers fast in the back game, very experienced. So it's another big challenge for us. And, you know, that's just how it is in this league. You know, they're a great defense that play well together for the court this Sunday, facing a great defense and a great team. All Titans fans, very proud of you and happy for your success. Derek Henry, thank you for the time and keep up the good work. All right, thank y'all, thank y'all for that. Mike Keith, it must be pretty cool to get to sit down and talk to Derek Henry and ask him some of those questions. Yeah, it was great. It was fantastic. You know what else is great? Going to Fort Campbell, Kentucky. The Titans have been doing it since April of 1999, when we took Eddie George up there on the Titans caravan and with Salute to Service weekend, we're going back again. That's next. We'll show you on Titans All Access. We welcome you back to Titans All Access. Titans and the Bears on Sunday at Nissan Stadium. It is our Salute to Service game. Have you got your Salute to Service gear? I do, and it's very cool. If you get a chance to get Titans Salute to Service gear at TennesseeTitans.com or if you visit the pro shop here, it's the best. I can't wait to break out my sweatshirt on Sunday. Oh, me too. And there's no better place to wear that Salute to Service gear than at Fort Campbell. The Titans headed up to Fort Campbell to thank our soldiers and show our appreciation. And they had a pretty great time. Check it out. Can I get a hat please? Yeah. Thank you, sweet. We are here today for Warrior Wednesday. Every Wednesday, since about 2012, we've delivered a lunch for the soldiers. And today, the Titans did that with Chick-fil-A. We're gonna feed about 200 soldiers and give them some Titans swag. Thank you for being here. Yep, thank you. Thank you guys for your service. We brought the cheerleaders. We brought the mascot. And it's our way to reach out and say thank you for everything that you do. And we're real excited to be here. The Titans have always done a really great job of pulling in the military community, but being able to deliver a little bit something extra is really exciting. Salute to service is only one week. Our celebration and recognition and relationship with Fort Campbell and the military installations in and around the national community, it's a year long thing for us. The relationship between Fort Campbell and the Titans is clearly something that resonates on both sides with both communities and is something that is really inspiring to watch. And then as far as the USO, we've been able to do a lot with the team. The Titans are clearly an institution in this community. And so it's really wonderful to be the bridge to bring them into the military community. Our community being such a military community, you know, while this is a league initiative, we kind of take it one step further and really try to hit it out of the ballpark for our soldiers. I think in a year when so many things haven't been able to happen, when so many things have had to be canceled, to figure out a way to yes, to figure out a way to still deliver something so exciting and bring cheerleaders and, you know, mascots and pictures and to see people, you know, smiling with their eyes again, I think it's just, there's so much that happened here today. You can't say exciting enough, honestly. This has been really fantastic. Mike, it's always a good time when we can spend some time with the soldiers at Fort Campbell. When you go to Fort Campbell and you're on post, you are so proud to be an American because of those men and women, 100% of the time you're there. Our founder, Bud Adams, had us go there in 1999. He wanted us to build that relationship and it has become something extra special between our organization and the men and women on post, the generals, everybody top to bottom. We love them and we appreciate their love for us as well. Absolutely. Well, we're gonna take a quick break, but when we come back, the best part of the show might Keith and his keys. Wow. I know. It's gonna be fun. You're right though. It's wonderful. On the next Titans All Access, Mike and Amy review not one, but two Titans games. That's right. They'll talk about what happened in the Sunday game with the Bears and Thursday's game with the Colts. We'll share a special salute to service Sunday and John Robinson looks ahead to a crucial stretch of the schedule. All that and more on the next Titans All Access. Mike Keith, the moment has arrived. Give us your keys to beating the Chicago Bears. I call them the three P. Okay. Let's start off number one with precision. The Chicago Bears have the best red zone defense in the national football league. 30 trips inside their 20 teams have scored only 15 touchdowns. The Chicago Bears are giving up only 30% on third down conversions. They are so good in those tight spaces in those big situations. If you're gonna defeat them, if you're gonna score touchdowns in the red zone, if you're gonna convert third downs, precision is the key. You have to make sure that the throws are right, the blocks are right, the patterns are run correctly. The ball is caught. Everything that you do offensively against a good defense in the red zone and on third down is about precision. Precision is key number one for the Tennessee Titans Sunday against the Chicago Bears. Well, then Mike, what is the second P? The second P is possessions. Do you realize the Titans only had eight possessions of the football at Cincinnati? The ninth one, maybe you could count that, maybe not was actually the last play of the game where they ran the ball with Jeremy McNichols. Bottom line, eight possessions, not enough. This is a great Titans offense and I mean a great Titans offense. They have scored more touchdowns this season than they have punts as a team. That's unheard of, get them the ball. Where does it start? Third down defense. If you're doing well on third down, you're getting the ball back for your offense. The Titans need to have the ball against the Bears 11 or 12 times, especially because the Bears defense is outstanding possessions, more possessions. Key number two for the Titans in this ball game. All right, what's the final key to beating the Chicago Bears? Power, power. Derek Henry coming off the line of scrimmage, blowing him off the ball, blocking down field, staying with it, and being able to get a lead where you can stay with the power. Bottom line is Titans throw the football really well. It is fun to watch Corey Davis and AJ Brown and Janu Smith and on and on and on. And Ryan Tannehill, one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL, but the heart and soul of the Tennessee Titans is running the football. They ran 29 times for 218 yards at Cincinnati. That's a figure that should be good enough to win. It's going to be harder to run this week, but the bottom line is if they can take the momentum from the execution of the run game at Cincinnati and apply it this week, the Titans should be able to control this game. The Titans are about power when they're at their best. They need power against the powerful Chicago Bears defense this weekend. Mike, I like it when your keys have a theme. I feel like I can play along and try to guess what the words are going to be. That was nice. Thanks. I try to work on a theme every week. I appreciate that. That's very fun. Great. I don't even know what that means, a theme. Three P's. P's are a theme. Reminds you that the Titans played the Bears Sunday at Nissan Stadium, 1202 central time kickoff. Amy Wells and our entire Titans radio crew and me come on the air at 11 AM central with Titans Countdown. We hope you'll join us for that. For Amy Wells, I'm Mike Keith. Thanks for joining us, and we'll see you next time.
