 Kevin Byrd, the Tennessee Titans won the AFC South. They are the number one seed in the AFC. For someone like you who has been a part of this Titans team for a while, who's really seen the evolution of this team, what does this victory mean to you? It means a lot, man. You know, just understanding that, you know, we got guys on the team that's been in the league 10 plus years, never had a number one seed. So I definitely understand the impact of this. I understand that these things don't come that often. So I'm definitely grateful, happy. We're definitely gonna celebrate that. You know, going to this playoffs, man, it's just a good feeling that, you know, in fact, we have a first round by, you know, we're kind of already in the elite eight, get to watch some playoff games next so we can find out who we play. What do you do with that first round by because you don't know who you're going to be playing in that second round? Do you use that time to reset? Do you use it to rest? Do you watch all of the football games that happened that week? Yeah, I wouldn't say we necessarily reset. You know, I definitely think that obviously we get an extra week to get some guys healthy. But at the end of the day, obviously I watch all the playoff games or whatever, but it's really about keeping this thing rolling. Obviously it's gonna be sudden death, you know, winter go home type thing. So that mentality is gonna be getting echoed throughout the entire building that, hey, you know, we got to win one game a week. So, you know, it's go time. Describe that playoff mentality for me. What makes it a little bit different than the regular season? Oh, it was a whole different mentality. I mean, even when you go out there in pregame warmups, the crowd, you know, the stadium's already packed out. You know, it's gonna be primetime football. The whole country's gonna be watching you. It's a new season, honestly, you know, when you walk out there for the game, you're gonna feel like this is week one all over again. So guys gonna be juiced up and ready to ball out in primetime. Now, you didn't want to talk about it before the end of the regular season because everyone was really focused on the Houston Texans and what needed to be done. But the return of Derek Henry, having him back out at practice, hopefully being able to get him back for the playoffs, what is that gonna mean for this Titans team? As a defensive player, you see this offense on the field, fighting for everything that they can get. What is that gonna mean? I mean, getting Derek Henry back, you know, at the perfect time in January, where, you know, most guys are kind of banged up. Most guys don't wanna tackle that well. And to have them out there, obviously being one of our leaders on the offense is gonna be a huge force. Obviously, we talked about, you know, in the off season, beginner to season, you know, having that three-headed monster. And I think at this point of the year, we're finally gonna have all those guys healthy. So, you know, watch out for the offense, honestly. Watch out. You were talking about the mentality shift for the playoffs and that seems like something this defense is very familiar with the mentality shift. The change from the 2020 Titans defense to the 2021 Titans defense is incredible. Just on paper alone, it's wild. The statistics and the numbers that the Titans were able to generate on defense in 2021, that had to have been a mentality shift, right? Absolutely. It started during training camp. You know, I think the guys really bought in, understanding that obviously 2020 definitely wasn't good enough. So, I think everybody came into this training camp with a mentality that we have to be better. Obviously, the guys that John and Vrable brought in, from Danico to Bud, you know, all these guys that we brought in, Jack Rabbit, they came and immediately bought in, understood the responsibility that we had to this team, to make sure that we played well and I think it kinda showed out every single weekend. Excited to keep it going during the playoffs. This is a really exciting time, Kevin Byrd. You're so chill right now. How do you keep that level of calm going into this? Or is there a point where you let it fall just a little bit? No, I mean, honestly, just being the leader on this team is a lot of things to celebrate right now. But, you know, just like Kobe said way back, man, we haven't done nothing yet. The job isn't done. You know, our mentality and our entire focus on winning the Super Bowl. So obviously it's a time to celebrate the AFC South, time to celebrate the number one C, but all it does is just put us in a good position. We still have to go out there and prove it every single week because like I said, man, it's gonna win or go home. So that's the mentality that we haven't done nothing yet. And you're doing it at Nissan Stadium. Absolutely, hey, super excited to see all those fans. They really showed out this week in Houston. So I know it's gonna be a packed out. We're really gonna have home field advantage with the fans in Nissan. So definitely gonna be looking forward to seeing those guys out there.
