 Ryan Tannehill, 27 touchdown passes, nine of them have gone to A.J. Brown. Tannehill throw right side going for Brown in the end zone. One hand, touchdown, tight, ho-ho. A lot of plays on a lot of years, that was a great, great one. Henry Pickle, 10-5 end zone. Yeah, Henry, finds room 50. Henry, Derrick, Henry, Henry 40, Henry 30, Henry 20. Henry, 10, and taken down by Herndon at the five. Gives Henry, driving forward, touchdown. All of the tightest blitz presented by Farm Bureau Health Plans, I am Lance Smith. This is the legend Eddie George, who is admiring the Blitz Lounge and the Bulldog on screen. He was very taken with this Bulldog on screen. Hey, hey, hey, I love that dog. Okay, Blitz Lounge. They're excited. I'm excited. Eddie, Eddie, Eddie coming through from homes all across the state. And elsewhere, welcome in, everybody. Yes. Hey, coming off a big win. What? Man, I mean, they did what they needed to do against that team. It was awesome to watch. I'm still celebrating, but yes. Awesome to watch. Yeah, I mean, that's right, because we talk about this. You have to do what you're supposed to do when you're supposed to do it. That's right. Bangles game. But this was the game we're talking about, so we'll get into it. Do you have a good week? Man, I had a great week. Yeah? Yes, it was a great week. I know, we stayed at home as usual, because that's all we can do, but life is good, getting ready for the Christmas holidays, still doing my Christmas shopping online. Very nice. And that's it, man. Very smart. All right. Let's get into it. Let's kick off the show. And let's talk about this 31 to 10 victory. It's time now for a Four Downs with Eddie presented by Corson Fire and Security. Eddie, man, we're witnessing greatness. We witnessed it last year over and over again. Oh, Henry, again, the first down here, 26 carries, 215 yards of two TDs. I mean, the guy just continues to impress, weekend and week out. It's almost like he rolls out of bed. It's automatically 100 yards. And he's doing it with decisive cuts, cutting back, running defenders over, running away from them, using speed, power, agility, his leadership capability. He's a home run hitter. He can hit the, he can close out games. I mean, he's doing everything. I mean, you're seeing a full arsenal of what every running back wants to have. And he's having a dream season. This is what every back dreams about. Not only are you on the cusp of rushing for almost 2,000 yards a season, but your team is winning. Yes. And that's a beautiful combination. Perfect complimentary football. Of course, I mean, this game started, though, moving on to second down here. We'll talk Henry some more, I promise you. Moving on to second down here. Tannehill near Flawless. When the game first started, it, obviously we knew Henry was going to do his thing. But Tannehill was on fire, finding AJ Brown, seven or nine targets, seven catches for 112 yards. Of course, the big touchdown, the flea flicker that wasn't even necessary because it was actually quite contested. But AJ, you know, catches it. That's what he does. But Tannehill really in control of this offense. Yeah. The quarterback who was efficient, 19 for 24, 212 yards, two touchdowns, zero interceptions, zero turnovers, protecting the football, making great decisions downfield. You see the strike here to AJ Brown, which was a phenomenal throw and catch. When you're able to do that and have balance as an offense, again, we talk about this week in and week out, it's about picking your poison. And they have perfect balance right now. I think, regardless of what happened again since, I mean, Cleveland a couple weeks ago, they're still the most dangerous offense in all of football because they can run it and throw it effectively and wear down on teams. This team is very, this offense is extremely dangerous right now. Yeah. Say what you will for the chief's, you know, big offense like that, maybe put the Rams in that conversation in terms of offense is ours is something special, something different. It's clicking. You're right. You've said this a lot this season, especially there's something just almost methodically perfect about it, right? Especially when they're executing that way. When the offense in the offensive line for me, probably the MVP of this team, Derrick is doing his thing, granted, but those guys up front, how they've been able to manage losing your starting left tackle at the beginning of the year, and then plug and play guys in and still have the ability to not create holes, but obliterate holes open. Yeah. Let me just annihilate the defensive front has been really remarkable to see that with guys that they had to plug and play with a makeshift offensive line, they did an outstanding job so far. They really have. They totally opened up the doors for Derrick and kept Dan Hill upright. Moving on to third down here, of course, you know, we're talking all this offense. You got to talk about the defense in this game because the defense was shining. Malcolm Butler, Malcolm Butler, Macbiz had a day. Yes, he had the interception, of course, which I believe we're looking at right here. But he was wide on rice. I mean, he was locking guys down. It was beautiful to see, but not just Malcolm Butler. Ty Smith is getting, getting involved in the game again, guys stepping up. The defense, you know, again, for lack of a pass rush, shutting things down. Hey, we talked about this in our keys to victory last week was to shut down this undrafted free agent, James Robinson, who is really lighting it up and he's going to be a nice back to watch in this league. The dude had 20 yards rushing and then he had one 47 yard scamper, of course, adding to his total given 67 total yards. But for the most part, all game shut down and coming into this game, he was the focal point for their offense. They were, they're one in 11 or one in 12 at this point in time coming into this game, one in 11. And the last four games, they lost by single digits. So they were playing teams tough. So I anticipated this will be more, a much better contest, more competitive because it's in division game. And Robinson was fantastic coming into it. And they were able to shut him down and make him, you know, a non-factor. Yeah. Well, also, Glenn, a non-factor bringing Gardner-Mentz, you're still a non-factor, although he can't scramble. Moving on to fourth down quickly. We just got to highlight the little things. You look, for me, it was the nine seconds to put the team into field goal position with Corey Davis quickly to the sideline. How clutch is he, by the way? You know, yeah. And then Johnny Smith right here. Quickly call a timeout. I mean, that's it. Two big plays right there. They put you up to such a field goal kicker up and he nails it right down the pipe. A 50 yarder. A 50 yarder. Corey Davis, an unsung hero in his office. To me, he shines brighter than a lot of these guys that we're talking about. Derek Henry, AJ Brown, Corey Davis comes up with a big catch after big catch. I mean, you need a guy that you can rely on in an offense that you can say, hey, who can I go to third and five, third and 10, fourth and whatever. He's Mr. Hands right now playing out of his mind. He really, really is. Of course, there was also that fake punt, which is really nice. But anyway, moving on, guys, you know, 15 minutes can save you 15 percent or more on your car insurance. With that, we'll go to break with our Geico fast 15 stick around Titans Blitz. We'll be right back. Let me hear you. Blitz lounge. Let's go. Go. Snap. Sad. Roaches kick is blocked. It goes up in the air. The Zupanar lets it go. Give Henry. Pitchback. Tana Hill. Throw right side going for Brown in the end zone. One hand. Touch. This game moving on. You see what you're made of when you go through something tough. And yeah, it's been a tough year, but Tennesseans are built for this. Great pass down through generations. We like it that way. Tennessee tough. Eddie back with you half time here on the show. If you're watching, you probably just saw the Tennessee tough piece that we air all the time. You know, one of my favorite things about that piece is that you waving that towel saying, come on, hyping up the crowd. Now something that we've seen the past couple of seasons, now people talk about it online. They love it. Anticipate it every week for this games. It's your hype. Oh man. It actually, I give a lot of credit to David upstairs and you, you know, you've helped out with the scripts and all of that. And I just try to do my part and just try to bring it to life as best I can, man. So it's a lot of fun, a great team effort to make it happen. And I guess you fans have enjoyed it. I'm pretty sure they're like, I'm tired of seeing this guy every single week. No, no, no. I'm going to call Derek Henry and all our Titans and all of them talk, but I want to celebrate you right now, my man. These hype, these high pieces are killer. Take a look at this. The Kansas City Chiefs Buffalo Bills, I ain't going to lie, got some pretty sweet memories in this stadium. But today, right from the get go, we must set the tone. My favorite part about doing the hype videos with the Titans is this kind of evolved. Just being creative, just different spots, different feel, the feel of it, the tone of it, depending on the opponent. You know, Baltimore just brings out a different vibe of me. Back to the scene of the crime, the site where the Tennessee Titans stole the hopes of the number one team in football. Remember this? Paul is loose. There's a fight for it. Titan ball! Big Jeff! How about this one? Can he hold it? Yes! Woo! Much like Pittsburgh, the Colts. So I try to rely on my past experience with each team, given the magnitude of the game, and just try to have fun and be creative with it. They're long days, no doubt. But it allows me to, just to be me, and to have fun, and a chance to excite the fans. What gets me pumped is I look on Twitter and people are like, I can't wait to see this hype video this week. What is it going to be? You know, I'm anxious too. The one valuable thing that I've learned playing with the Titans that I've taken to my acting career is to be selfless. Don't try to be the superstar. Just do your job extremely well and be real to your authentic self. We'll do it one more time. It's meaningful to be a part of the Titans organization, because this is where my career had continued. I was a part of that first wave of Titans to bring the NFL to Middle Tennessee. But Adams gave me an opportunity in 1996 to fulfill Charles' dream and trusted me to be the running back for this franchise, and I was going to do my best while I was playing for them, and as long as their doors are open for me, and there is a mutual respect for one another, I'm always going to do what I can do for the organization. Hey, that, oh man, look, as a fan, thank you for what you continue to do for this team. You're one of the best ambassadors for this game, not just this team, and thank God you're out. Thank you, man, but you know, it's been great. You know, we play with guys like Kevin Dyson and Frank Wajcek, Steve McNair, Javon Kurse. I represent that era, you know, Zach Piller and those guys, and it's just a privilege to still be a part of the organization. Thank you guys for still having me come in, giving the old guy an opportunity to talk about the game that I love, and the city that I love, and the team that I love, and it's just great. So I'm going to continue to, hopefully, if you guys invite me back to keep doing it, please. I'll love to do it, too. Please, love this guy right here. Love that, thank you, Eddie. All right, well, we've got to talk about more football on the other side, keys to victory against the Lions coming in, and you need to see it on stadiums, stick around, Titans Blitz. We'll be right back. Welcome back to the Titans Blitz, presented by Farm Bureau Health Lands, I'm Lance, and this is Eddie, Eddie, Eddie George. All right, it's too many a warning here on the show, we've got the Lions coming to town. Did you know that the Titans have never lost to the Lions? Oh, I knew that. Yeah. Yeah, I was on the field of those teams. Yeah. Yeah. You can't lose to the Titans. The franchise. The franchise, it was, I think, in 95, was the last, the last time, right? Yeah. Yeah. Or, I'm sorry, the Titans have never lost to the Lions. Yes. So, here's the deal, this game still means something. People look at it, oh, it's just the Lions. We had three games to go. We got to take care of business because the Colts are running neck and neck. Neck and neck. And they seem to be picking up steam as well. And you don't want to lose a game to a team like the Lions so they can pick up ground on you. Right. And the bottom line is this. This time of year, these are the games where you have to get better. Your opponent is not the Lions, is not going to be the Texans, is not going to be the Green Bay Packers. Okay. He's going to be against yourself. All right. So, you have to be on the high standard of what they can do. So now, every week, you've got to improve and all those areas where they are weak, like the back and the secondary, we're getting a pass rush up front, being more consistent offensively, being better on third downs, all those areas where they have showed signs of weakness and where they have been exposed to a bit that has to tighten up, no pun intended. Yeah. But, those are the areas that they have to do so that being said, they've got to attack the Lions early. Right. And avoid the trap game, is what we're saying with the first key there, and the second key, you just mentioned it. We don't know if it's going to be Stafford or not. Probably not. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter, right? But like you said, use this, I don't want to say this practice, that's disrespectful to the game, but you've got to, like you said, sharpen up. You've got to improve. We've not had a pass rush. Right. You're now preparing for the second half of the season, for the playoffs, for the post season. So, you have to develop some type of pass rush. You can't just say, we're good right now. Every time you step on the football field, you've got to get better. Every time you step in between the white lines of a competitive environment, you must get better. That is imperative. So, that being said, no matter if it's Stafford or who's back there, Daniels, right? Whoever it is, they've got to attack him and attack him early. All right. Well, final key to victory here. Look, Derek Henry is doing amazing things on the football field. So play action this thing to death. Light him up. Because, I mean, they're going to key in on. Right? They're going to give that their number one job is to stop 22 at all costs. Yeah. No one has been able to do that. The Lions haven't been very good against the run. And Derek Henry has his eyes set on 2000 in the MVP type season, in the playoff run, a deep playoff run, and hopefully a super bowl run as well. This young man is hungry, so the Lions have their long day ahead of them. So, they're going to try to stop him, for sure. They are 29th in the league against the rush. Oh, man. Jacksonville was 30th, so it could be another one of those days. Yeah, it could be. It might be slow early on, but as it goes on and the game is tight and the Titans have a lead, 22 is going to pop one off on you at some point in time and change the course of this game. And we've seen Derek on the sideline talking to Mike Rabel. Let me get one more. Let me get one more. He just, if he gets, I think it's 153 yards a game for the next three games. The man hits 2k. So, we'll talk more Derek Henry on this side. I want to, I got something to show you. So, do stick around. We got more Titans Blitz on the other side. We will be right back. Let's, Lions is hyped up.

And in awe of King James to King Henry there. That's amazing. It is. That's awesome. King recognizes King. And the greatest, you know, this era, LeBron James is recognizing the greatest possible player in Titans history. What? Derek Henry. That's awesome. That's awesome. That is humbling. It's amazing. But now I ask you, in your playing days, because you know, dude, when you were running the ball and we watched you just the same, did anybody from another sport or some field, someone I have reached out to watch your game? You know, it's funny because King James, you know, for me was Michael Jordan. Right. Michael Jordan reached out to me a couple of times. Like, oh, big fella, that was a great game. In fact, we were in D.C. for the All-Star game. Okay. And then I'm sitting out in the audience and M.J. is in the booth. He yells up for me to come up. Me, Jerome Bettis, a couple of the people were standing there. I'm just like, yeah. He's talking to me like, hey, man, you know, like, I'm just a regular guy. And I'm like, I'm not a regular player. Michael Jordan. I'm like, oh my God, this is crazy. That's mind-blowing. That's mind-blowing. That's awesome. Michael Jordan. I love it. M.J. All right, guys. Hey, we're on a roll. We're looking at a 10-win season, but we got to get the job done first. Lions coming to town. We got to do this. We got to tighten up, as always. I'll see you next week. Let's hear it. Boom.
