 on the way on this edition of Titans all access Oilers Oilers Oilers The much anticipated moment is here when the Titans take the field against the Falcons. They'll be donning their Oilers throwbacks. We'll hear from some of the original Oilers about how meaningful this moment is for them. Plus we'll talk with the woman who made the uniforms happen. This is a special two part interview. That and so much more as an all new Titans all access starts now. But there he is. The Uly Bulldozer Derrick Henry got Chris Moore. Can he catch it? Honey Hooker is making the catch. Welcome to the Bette MGM Studio and another edition of Titans all access. I'm excited. It's homecoming weekend for the Tennessee Titans. That means over 300 former Oiler and Titans players and coaches will be here for a weekend of fun filled activities. And of course it's capped off by the Titans taking on the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday at noon central time and the Titans will break out their Oiler throwbacks for the first time. Everybody's fired up about it including the Oilers throwbacks. We'll take some time with her a few weeks ago to talk about everything she went through to make the Oilers throwbacks happen. We discuss it in part one of this week's Nissan Insider. We know the Oilers uniforms have been a massive hit with everybody. So look, Amy Adam Strunk is wearing her. Nice. So well done for this interview. Thank you. Thank you. I thought if I'm going to talk about it you've been surprised at all by the response. I'd say yes and no. I mean, I go around town and I'm sure everybody sees me in this cap all the time and they're like, we have to talk about the uniforms. It's so it's really fun and it's from restaurants to the grocery store. Just just being about town and people are really pumped. Did you start working on this almost like you could wear a second helmet thus allowing for the Oiler helmet to be worn? It was all about the helmet because our Navy helmet would not have worked with this. It just wouldn't have been right. So as much as I wanted to start the process because it's a two year process with Nike once you get going I had to wait for the NFL to change the rule where we could have two helmets. There were six different incarnations of Oilers. You chose the final one which was the 1981 through 1998. The Tennessee Oilers wore the same thing. What was it about that look, this look that you thought would be the right ones to bring back this year? I went all the way back to the first years and honestly the Love You Blue I loved that uniform but the Love You Blue had the gray face mask and I really liked the red face mask so really that's kind of what drove that because the uniforms over the year way back they were way different but as it evolved this one kind of was a lot like the Love You Blue in previous. It was just an easy choice to go with the helmet I liked. The red face mask is so great because they can wear the red shoes and it looks unbelievable. It looks great and once we kind of went with that era the Love You Blue on the back you know that was just a nod to that era, to those guys. More with Titans owner Amy Adams-Strunk coming up later in this edition of Titans All Access as our Nissan Insider will have a part two but up next listen up with Duncan as former Oilers players talk about why the Oilers throwbacks mean so much to them. That's next on Titans All Access. This new stadium one of the most exciting parts of the new stadium is that Titans fans will be offered triple the number of experiences that they can currently get in Nissan Stadium. Titans president and CEO Burke Nyhill gets more specific. This new stadium is going to have 15, 16 different ways to engage with the game and if you're if you want that experience where you're in a suite or you're sitting in a lower bowl and you're just watching the game the whole time that's there for you but if you want to have a more social experience if you want to bring your family and be able to kind of let the kids get their wiggles out a little bit there's going to be more opportunities for you to do that within this new stadium too. One of the phrases we've rallied around a little bit is the light bulb wasn't invented by the continuous improvement of the candle and so if the current Nissan stadium is a really good candle we weren't just trying to make a better candle we're trying to start over and make a light bulb. For the latest news visit TitansNewStadium.com When the Oilers throwbacks were unveiled this summer it was important to get the reaction of not only the Titans players but also of the former Oilers themselves and their reaction was emotional. Find out for yourself. Listen up with Duncan from a special moment from earlier this year. What did it mean to wear a Oilers uniform? Earl Campbell is strong. Come on down! The legs of the future belong to Dan Pasterini. The number one SpokeBall League It was the first uniform that I wore in the National Football League and you know Bud Adams and the Oilers gave me my opportunity to come play in the NFL. The man once shunned by the NFL was now one of its biggest stars. And what a pass by Moore. I don't know other Jersen. I played ten years and never missed a game. People come up to me today in the supermarket where I live and they'll thank me for all those years and I in turn thank them for being such great fans. There's been this resurgence to bring back the Oilers into the family and Amy has been a big part of that. When they moved here we weren't really Tennesseans and then the Texans came in and they weren't really the Oilers so we were kind of caught in the middle and there was really no loyalty whatsoever but then Amy changed that. What she's been able to do is she's never played for another organization but the Oilers. They didn't really have anywhere to go to say that that was their alumni team that they could come back for an alumni weekend or have an identity with so her doing that for the guys that I played with still means more to me because I spent ten years of my career with this organization. It was a very special time and it's lasted a long time and it's going to last forever. I was born and used to know that the weekend is so great to see the Oilers throwback uniforms but also great to see all the Titans and Oilers who are here for homecoming. Means a lot to Titans owner Amy Adam Strunk and we'll discuss that when Titans All Access continues. It's time for the Decision of the Week presented by Hughes and Coleman. Signing free agent cornerback Sean Murphy Bunning has proven to be a wise decision for General Manager Sean Murphy Bunning has 29 tackles two force fumbles an interception and five passes defended so far in 2023 as he is becoming one of the leaders on the Titans defense. That's the Decision of the Week presented by Hughes and Coleman. The bet MGM studio is where we are this is Titans All Access and part two of our visit with Titans owner Amy Adam Strunk when I had a chance to sit down with her earlier this year I wanted to talk with her about why it's so important that all the alumni feel like they're a part of this organization including the Oilers alumni from years ago. Here's part two of our Nissan Insider with Amy Adam Strunk. So this is the 25th anniversary of the Tennessee Titans Ironically the Oilers uniforms come back out at the same time. Silver anniversary of the franchise the people who love the Titans are excited about that and yet they're embracing this part of the history as well. What does that mean to you? It means so much to me because you know as I've said before I grew up with the Oilers I was six years old when I went to my first game and I love these guys I love all the teams through the years the you know excitement they had and when we came to Tennessee it was we needed to you know get our own history going and I knew that was what was happening but I really felt like a lot of these players got left by the wayside and I wanted to embrace them and bring them back into the family that was very very important to me. You have clearly done that and now the former Oilers are embracing the Titans legacy. What do you think turned them around? I think you know the last couple of reunions they saw the fans as they were walking around the fans the Titan fans were high fiving them and really all of a sudden they saw hey we have a family here they are loving the history history is important we had some legendary players on those Oiler teams and I think our fans appreciate that you know Robert Brazil, Dan Pastorini Earl Campbell all those guys you know we can embrace that as much as Eddie and Steve and you know Derek Henry I mean they are all legendary. Yes 63 year history of the franchise the Oilers uniforms are back it's the 25th anniversary of the Titans so did you set out with all this in mind was this a master plan or has all of this burst just hit organically? You know what it just the timing worked out perfectly sometimes things just happen for a reason and this is just great timing well this is season 64 for the franchise season 68 will be in a new stadium so as we go into all of that we can count on an Oiler and a Titans and all of it presents correct? Oh absolutely I'd you know the older guys have already told me they're going to be there every year so yes absolutely it's going to be fun it's going to be exciting. Fun time thanks for taking the time. Oh you're welcome my pleasure love being here. After the break coach Dave McGinnis joins me to go beneath the surface powered by Microsoft talking about this weekend's opponent the Atlanta Falcons more Titans all access next back what's up

family with mates and everybody we appreciate what I did here with the teammates that we had and the coaches just the success that we had I don't know if I've ever really reflected back on it I just kind of moved on and I figured whenever the time was right it just kind of seemed like the time's right Sight and Zoll access continues from the Bet MGM Studio Coach Dave McGinnis is here and when Coach Dave McGinnis grades the draft you take that very seriously in the 2023 draft one of his top three overall players now plays for the Falcons and that is running back Bijan Robinson why did you like him so much he's an exceptional athlete and of course the running back position we talk about how it's devalued now across the league but he has such exceptional skills in catching the football and then the way he's able to make people miss get vertical he's an exceptional talent at Texas and he's going to be an exceptional talent already is in the national football he's off to a great start let's go beneath the surface with Coach Mack powered by Microsoft we're going to go over and take a look at some Bijan Robinson here is Bijan Robinson right here he's dotting the I we call it dotting the I we're going to bring this man across in motion and they're going to put him back there in a full back position now what's going to happen with this play we talked about his instincts his instincts and also his quick twitch ability and Bijan Robinson turns it into with his exceptional athletic ability turns it into a huge game you ready Mike let's watch this here we go it's completely defense stop one man missed two man missed and now he's out running angles look at him out run the angles this is why this guy Arthur Smith took him for a reason first of all we know Arthur wants to run the football but this guy can make things happen when they're not there and that's what great players do everything's blocked stick his foot in the ground make somebody miss make somebody miss and now God giving speed out running the angles down here special special player all right now we're looking at first of all this is their throwback uniforms correct Mike these are really sweet not as good as the Oilers uniform well there's nothing like the Oilers uniform but again we'll give them their do on the throwback with the Falcons all right now what we're looking at here this is a two by two formation when you look circle your man again Mike number seven he's in what you would call a chow alignment a chow alignment cheated out wide which means when we get to the end zone you're going to be able to see how wide he's cheated out this linebacker right here Mike is responsible for him this is a man-to-man defense this linebacker is responsible for Bijan Robinson first of all if I were coaching Ron Rivera's linebacker which I'm not I coached Ron Rivera but I'm not coaching his linebackers he needs to move over he needs to move over to be able to cover this guy let's watch and see what happens here as they clear out the side and then he's up the sideline here they go motion across now you've got a tight split on the back side as you are talking about that linebacker wouldn't even close he wasn't even near enough to him this right here go ahead and circle your man again Mike you do not want him with that much grass ahead of it you don't want it and it's all because the linebacker misaligned on that chow cheated out wide alignment not surprised in the least that Arthur Smith would find creative ways to use it not surprised not surprised at all one more time you can see circle your man Mike this is a chow alignment it's cheated out wide see he is now in the guard tackle gap so this linebacker is covering him needs to move a little bit more that way knowing that they're going to come in with this guy right here John Smith that's John Smith John Smith is lined up right there so this guy is going to be a danger and Arthur Smith as you just said will try to get him the ball in a myriad of ways just for these two reasons that we've shown you on the big screen today easy throw for Desmond Ritter to there he is coach Mack well done Mike Keith you you excellent drawing circles on number seven thank you you're welcome good circle drawer welcome got to be good at something right I'm good at throwing to break which I'll do right now Titans all access continues after this welcome back to Titans all access time now for my seat geek keys to victory over the Falcons key number one is pretty obvious bottle up Bijan Bijan Robinson is a big fast talented back they can hand it to him they can pitch it to him they can throw it to him you've got to bottle him up and not allow him to make big plays he has an Adrian Peterson like quality to his game that should tell you you've got to bottle up Bijan key number two run the dang ball haven't pulled that out in about two years I think but the fact of the matter is that's part of the identity of the Tennessee Titans whether it's running with Derek Henry or running the ball with Tajie Spears or running some sort of reverse to someone else doesn't make any difference the bottom line is the Titans DNA says they run the football they need to run the dang ball against the Falcons and finally feed D hop in London against the Ravens one catch 20 yards does not get it done get number 10 going and hitting early and often in this game against the Atlanta Falcons will remind you that Titans radio is on the air with Titans countdown at 11 a.m. Central time this Sunday and kickoff is set for 1202 Central from Nissan Stadium the Oilers throwbacks on display as the Titans play the Falcons this weekend we can't wait to see it for our entire crew here at Titans all access I'm Mike Keith thanking you for joining us and we'll see you next time
