Hutton & Withrow: Keith Bulluck Rips Titans, Cam Ward Struggles & Georgia Stuns Alabama | Hour 1 · Hutton & Withrow Show

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: We are out of the gates on sport and state.
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Glad you're with us.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: Good morning from Nashville, from our hub here. We say
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: good morning to you. We've got JT and Lutz making
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: it happen. A well-deserved hour off for Chad Withrow, who
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: joins me in about an hour. Fall break has taken
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: over our area. I don't know about you, but the
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: kids are off, and Chad has, I believe, made his
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: way to the beach. He had a beautiful photo that
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: he sent us. Very jealous. And he did that after
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: the hurricane and tropical storm went through. So all is
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: well there. What a fantastic show we've got. We're going
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: to react to the Titans. We have Keith Bullock, who
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: will join us. KB53, host of Bullseye View. He'll be
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: with us shortly, roughly 10 minutes from now or so.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: Chad joins us at the next hour with full reaction
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: to plenty across college football. And that's where we start today.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: What a weekend. A total shakeup. across college football. Georgia,
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: they win at Alabama. The power shift, the discipline, that's
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: where this tends to take me, officiating a huge issue,
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: some glaring calls. But that's the human element that we
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: deal with. But the lack of discipline on Bama's part
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: to end the game Let's start with just that. That's
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: the huge difference between these two teams right now. They
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: win in 2017. The headline is massive. Kirby Smart, he
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: finally gets his first win in Tuscaloosa on Georgia's sideline.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: He snapped a 19-year run. It's been a while since
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: Georgia went on the road in Tuscaloosa and won a game.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Number one rankings. in the country.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: Texas falls, Georgia takes that spot, and now they're sitting
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: with a great spot in the Southeastern Conference. That matchup
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: will matter coming up later in the season and on
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: their way to possibly another.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: SEC championship berth.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Bama, back-to-back meetings now that Georgia has had the W
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: on their side, but the game was won and how
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: it was really lost. is very telling here. DeBoer loses
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: his mind on the sideline. Yes, they lost the game
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: right there.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Losing your cool.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: And over the last few years, we've seen more of
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: the flags go against Bama. I was really surprised that
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: the flags went against Bama. The storyline has always been
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: Bama pulls the flags. It's really Saban, I guess, that
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: you can expect that from. Turning point happened right after halftime.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: You have 14-10 at right at half. Georgia, the offense
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: looked stagnant. They had rushed for around 49-50 yards on
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: 12 carries. And Mike Bobo, Kirby Smart, they simplified their
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: ground attack. They came out right out of the locker room,
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: which the speech was leaked. It's out for a reason.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: We know that's not the first time we've heard from
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: Kirby Smart, in that setting. They come out and go
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: down the field, and we see Stockton in clutch moments,
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: and he scores that rushing touchdown right out of halftime.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: And the clutch throws. The dude is just pinpoint whenever
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: the moment comes up. He's going to get his due now,
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: but man, have we sidestep Georgia to this point based
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: on their schedule and what they've done. We haven't really
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: given them the attention. Now they sit atop the throne.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: The other big games, Texas and Oklahoma.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: This was a stunner just based on how Oklahoma has played.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: How they have played recently against Texas, their offense has
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: been awful in this game. They've struggled to really move
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: the football, period. But it was Arch who struggled in
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: this matchup. And we finally see Mateer make a– I mean,
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: he had– as Coach Mack would say, he was throwing
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: piss missiles in this. And we finally see him lock
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: in and play like the quarterback we thought was going
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: to start the season this year with the Sooners. Yeah,
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: so you've got Oklahoma pulling the upset. Texas falls, and
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: they fall down to sixth right behind Bama in the standings.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: They go from one to six. And meanwhile, you've got
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: some other upsets. A team moves one spot or two.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: But it's Georgia at the top. We still see right there, Indiana.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: They're circling. They survive in Barasta. That was a great setting.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: I want to talk with Chad about that a little
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: bit later. And we'll get to Tennessee and the Vols
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: surviving in Arkansas. And how about Kentucky? Jacob Lutz was there.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: In the wind.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: I don't know about the rain. You said it was
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: a monsoon pregame. I felt for you there, man. But
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: you're a Wildcat fan. Congratulations.
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: It was– hold on real quick here.
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: Probably in.
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: My 30 years on this earth of going to Kentucky
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: football games, probably one of the best absolute experiences of
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: my life as a Kentucky fan. We– We didn't know
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: how to react at the very start. We're so used
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: to seeing these pictures of State Street right now. We're
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: used to doing this for basketball. The last two games
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: have been overtime thrillers.
• 5:57
  Speaker 6: I know.
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: It's a great day in Lexington. Every day in the fall,
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: the University of Kentucky bids on what they call the
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: Kentucky Double. The Kentucky Double is you have horse racing
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: all day at Caneland. And then you go into the
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: football game at night. And it's really it's probably the
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: best day in the Commonwealth. It's probably the most liquored
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: up day in the Commonwealth. There's probably no bourbon left
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: in the.
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: State of Kentucky this morning.
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: But, you know, the hurricane came in. Everybody was scared
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: it was going to be in Alabama. Everybody, you know,
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: was scared about all that. Well, the bullseye ended up
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: being Lexington, Kentucky in pregame. You know, it was absolute
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: hurricane-like conditions, monsoon, rainy everywhere, and everyone was, you know,
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: just kind of on edge. Then we get into the game,
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: and the heavens opened.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: It was cold.
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: Kentucky was not ready for that cold, but it was
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: just an absolute fantastic atmosphere, you know. I mean— Did
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: you storm the field? I got real close to storming
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: the field. So that was our seat. That was our
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: seats right there. And then you could see just the
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: hurricane of people jumping out of the student section down there.
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: And we ended up going down a level. We got
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: all the way to the seven-foot wall right there. And
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: we decided we were too old to break our ankles
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: because we would die. And, you know, enjoyed seeing my
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: old Kentucky home from afar just right there. So, you know...
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: Great day in the Commonwealth. Will Stein's got bigger balls
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: than any of us right now. Two-point conversion really is incredible.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: And the way they set that up, Minchie set this
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: up where he's motioning. I thought they did a great
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: breakdown of this. Motioning the receiver, the tight ends, spreads
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: them out. Gets the defense out wide, and he's acting
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: like he sees the opening, but he plays this so
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: perfectly that the linebacker comes over and overplays the wing
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: and didn't have a shot.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: It was a great call, brilliant call.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: I got Sarkeesian going for long field goals, the Oklahoma
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: blocking one. JT, you over the weekend said you wanted
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: to stop– joining us on the, on the bundle. Um,
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: you're not the only one who, who fell short here.
• 8:25
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it was a tough weekend, but, um, I just,
• 8:28
  Speaker 6: I continue to feel like, man, there's no way, you know,
• 8:32
  Speaker 6: I took, I took Tennessee, uh, 13 and a half.
• 8:35
  Speaker 6: And I'm thinking we've got a new quarterback. They're playing,
• 8:38
  Speaker 6: they're playing an awful, awful Arkansas team. And, you know,
• 8:41
  Speaker 6: I just really feel like there's no reason why they
• 8:44
  Speaker 6: can't go on the road and get this done.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: They survive. I mean, you wake up Sunday as a
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: ball's barely going, I'm okay.
• 8:50
  Speaker 5: Life is good.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: We won.
• 8:53
  Speaker 6: But, you know, I was running a couple of errands
• 8:55
  Speaker 6: on a Saturday afternoon listening to Mike Keith, and I thought,
• 8:59
  Speaker 6: I just don't know that I feel really good about this.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: But they pulled it out.
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: Bishop's a stud, and.
• 9:04
  Speaker 6: I love watching that guy play football. But, you know,
• 9:08
  Speaker 6: I'm not a Tennessee fan, but I felt good about it.
• 9:11
  Speaker 6: But then a couple weeks ago I had Vanderbilt, and
• 9:14
  Speaker 6: the only time I've gotten lucky is when Vandy was
• 9:17
  Speaker 6: able to score a touchdown at the end of the
• 9:18
  Speaker 6: game to beat NC State.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: I just, I don't, uh, I don't feel like I'm
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: helping the team in this, in this three leg parlay.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: I thought you're getting advice from one of the best.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: I thought you were kind of cheating it.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you who not to get advice from.
• 9:31
  Speaker 6: Uh, I went for, can't remember what, maybe the under
• 9:36
  Speaker 6: and the Georgia game two weekends ago.
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: I got that from Todd Furman.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: That's what you guys want to talk about.
• 9:42
  Speaker 6: Somebody not, not to get a bet from and not
• 9:44
  Speaker 6: to listen to Todd Furman is top of the list.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: Um, We've got Keith Bullitt coming up.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: Chad and I are going to react to Mike Elko
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: and the Billy's cesspool comment. Just stupid. Totally just dumb.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: It's not going to win that battle. And I don't know,
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: going at the fan base is just not the way
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: to do this at A & M. That is a
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: huge portion of their fan base at Tex-Ax. And we'll
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: discuss what that leads to. Keith Bullock, Waiting in the Wings,
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: where we will talk to a Titans legend about the
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: worst football we're watching right now in real time in
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: the history of the Tennessee Titans years in Nashville.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: It's pathetic.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: And we'll talk to one of the best to play
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: for the franchise about where they're headed or, you know,
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: they're continuing to dig their tunnel underground for.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: A new floor. It's next right here.

• 11:09
  Speaker 2: 10 minutes, start to finish, right from your phone. No

• 11:24
  Speaker 2: want to talk to a human, you can do that too, actually. Call,
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: and you get a real loan officer, not a phone trade.
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: If you're buying new construction, ask about the builder program,
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: builder-funded rates, buy-downs that can get you a rate that

• 11:56
  Speaker 2: favorites to cover, and when I was just starting out
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: covering the Titans, was number 53, Keith Bullitt. And since then,
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: he's become just a friend, a solid dude. Always consistent.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: And he's a true pro. KB, the host of Bullseye View,
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: joins us here on Hunt and Withdraw.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: Good to see you, man.
• 12:21
  Speaker 7: Thanks for having me. I feel like I just saw
• 12:24
  Speaker 7: you last night.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: On News Channel 5. Man, your breakdown is fantastic last night.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: I've got that.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: I'm going to post that and send it to you.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: Bullseye View, available right now. We highly recommend the YouTube channel.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: Bullseye View can be found where he's... He gets after it.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: I love the guest you've had and just the commentary, dude.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: How long have you been doing this now?
• 12:51
  Speaker 5: I started last year.
• 12:52
  Speaker 7: I started doing it last year. And at first it was,
• 12:57
  Speaker 7: you know, people always like, oh, you should do a podcast.
• 13:00
  Speaker 7: You should do a podcast. Like everybody has a podcast. But,
• 13:04
  Speaker 7: you know, with the. you know, the way that the
• 13:08
  Speaker 7: Titans were moving the last couple of years, I just
• 13:11
  Speaker 7: feel like they needed a fresh voice.
• 13:13
  Speaker 5: And then also, you know, as the franchise.
• 13:17
  Speaker 7: And the brand grows and expands, you know, I'm part
• 13:21
  Speaker 7: of the flame.
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: Era, you know what I mean?
• 13:24
  Speaker 7: So I definitely got to preserve and, you know, speak
• 13:28
  Speaker 7: to that as much as possible. And then also get
• 13:31
  Speaker 7: those other guys' voices in the conversation as well. So,
• 13:34
  Speaker 7: And then now it's turning into, I'm going to start,
• 13:37
  Speaker 7: you know, interviewing more former players just around the league.
• 13:41
  Speaker 5: I think I'm on a little linebacker kick right now.
• 13:44
  Speaker 5: So we'll see who else we got lined up.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: Did you ever meet Ditka?
• 13:48
  Speaker 7: Never got a chance to meet Mike Ditka. You know,
• 13:51
  Speaker 7: rest in peace.
• 13:53
  Speaker 5: Great coach.
• 13:53
  Speaker 7: You know, obviously I know him better as a coach.
• 13:56
  Speaker 7: You know, I never seen Mike Ditka play.
• 13:58
  Speaker 5: Obviously he was.
• 13:59
  Speaker 7: an ultimate tough guy, and that's great representing for the
• 14:03
  Speaker 7: Bears organization. But definitely an interesting character, definitely an interesting person. And,
• 14:10
  Speaker 7: you know, I know he was loved by many and
• 14:12
  Speaker 7: is going to be missed by a lot.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, man.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: The Tennessee Titans right now, is this the worst team
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: you've seen play? I'm hearing that a lot now with
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: all the podcasts that are reacting to yesterday's game where
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: the Houston Texans come in at 0-4 and they've handled
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: them easily, easily. I'm watching this team play, Keith, and
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: I'm thinking, man, this was not supposed to be like this.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: With the experience of coach, you've got the guy coming
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: in that wanted to be a head coach, but he
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: chooses to be the offensive coordinator, Brian Dable, to coach
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: Cam Ward. I just don't see the improvement. And it's
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: not just like decent play that's not good or great.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: It's really, really bad. How bad is it from your view?
• 14:57
  Speaker 7: Um, you know, for me, it's bad football. You know,
• 15:01
  Speaker 7: you got to be honest, you know, when you see it.
• 15:04
  Speaker 7: You know, it's no consistency. And, you know, I feel
• 15:09
  Speaker 7: like consistency will lead to wins.
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: Consistency will lead to victories, right?
• 15:15
  Speaker 7: If you go out and consistently, you know, block.
• 15:18
  Speaker 5: If you consistently tackle. If you consistently do the basics.
• 15:22
  Speaker 5: Get off the field on third down. If you consistently
• 15:25
  Speaker 5: keep driving going.
• 15:27
  Speaker 7: Like, even yesterday's game, I was at the— Titans Texans game.
• 15:31
  Speaker 7: And I sat there and I watched, you know, so
• 15:33
  Speaker 7: I can, you know, I want to give real opinions.
• 15:35
  Speaker 5: I don't want to be high on, you know what
• 15:37
  Speaker 5: I mean?
• 15:38
  Speaker 7: And it's like the Titans can go punch for punch
• 15:44
  Speaker 7: until they can't. Right. So the Texans, you hold them
• 15:46
  Speaker 7: to four field goals. That's great. That's great defense right there. Right.
• 15:50
  Speaker 5: Regardless of what's going on, the defense is playing good.
• 15:53
  Speaker 7: If you're holding them to four field goals, because once again,
• 15:56
  Speaker 7: Texans are on four, but yeah.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Man, I'm listening post-game, and I'm hearing Robert Sala say,
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: I mean, I want to get to all three of
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: these real quick.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: I want to get your reaction as.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: A former player and what you would be saying internally
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: inside the locker room. First, here is Sala right after
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: the game asking about Cam Ward and whether or not
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: he's going to continue to be the starter.
• 16:22
  Speaker 7: After this performance, you guys are going to be dead
• 16:26
  Speaker 7: last in points per game, dead last in yards per game.
• 16:29
  Speaker 6: Is there a thought to making a change, whether it's
• 16:31
  Speaker 6: benching Cam Ward, changing something to develop.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: Some kind of spark?
• 16:35
  Speaker 6: No.
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: Not with Cam.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: Why not?
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: Cam's our starting quarterback. We're going to give him every
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: opportunity to be successful this year. And we're going to
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: continue working with him, grinding with him, and trying to
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: help him get better.
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: KB, I remember distinctly you were on that 0-6 team
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: that started out, right? And I remember you with Kerry
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: Collins and VY.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: There's a press, the weekly presser for the quarterback is happening.
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: I think every Wednesday at his locker and Vince is
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: right there beside him. And you're just, you're chirp over there.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: Cause you're like, I don't know, maybe 30 feet away.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: I don't know how long it was.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: And you'd kind of trip over there. Uh, the starters
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: to the left starter to the left, something like that,
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: like pointing to VY. Um, Wouldn't you want to change
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: things up just to try to spark something? I don't
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: think Trubisky's a great quarterback, but I think he could
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: be good.
• 17:33
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's fair, honey. You know, it's one of those things.
• 17:37
  Speaker 7: Robert Sala is going to have to make a tough
• 17:39
  Speaker 7: decision either way, right? He's going to have to make
• 17:41
  Speaker 7: a tough decision if he keeps Cam Ward in, and
• 17:44
  Speaker 7: he's going to have to make a tough decision if
• 17:46
  Speaker 7: he pulls him out. And to be fair, you know,
• 17:50
  Speaker 7: You know, I ask questions after games just to see
• 17:52
  Speaker 7: what the temperature is on Twitter. Because I feel like
• 17:55
  Speaker 7: fans have an opinion and, you know, I'll help them
• 17:58
  Speaker 7: voice their opinion. There's a lot of people that are saying,
• 18:01
  Speaker 7: put in Mitchell Trubisky. Whereas last week, I thought it
• 18:05
  Speaker 7: was a little too early. And it still may be
• 18:07
  Speaker 7: a little bit too early. But that's the tough decision
• 18:10
  Speaker 7: Robert Sala is going to have to make. If you
• 18:12
  Speaker 7: stay with Cam, that's fine. You're going to have to
• 18:15
  Speaker 7: hear a lot of outside noise from And if you
• 18:19
  Speaker 7: go to Mitchell Trubisky, that's fine, too. I don't feel
• 18:23
  Speaker 7: that like you just said, Mitchell Trubisky is the key
• 18:26
  Speaker 7: to success here in Tennessee. I don't see him as
• 18:29
  Speaker 7: like a Ryan Tannehill situation. But also what stuck out
• 18:34
  Speaker 7: to me in the Vince Young documentary is when, you know,
• 18:39
  Speaker 7: Vince was saying Jeff pulled him.
• 18:41
  Speaker 5: And I just remember Vince saying like, damn, coach, you
• 18:44
  Speaker 5: don't believe in me.
• 18:45
  Speaker 7: So with the first year head coach and first year
• 18:48
  Speaker 7: offensive coordinator, only five games in with Cam Ward.
• 18:52
  Speaker 5: If you sit on now, do you lose that trust?
• 18:55
  Speaker 5: And I understand. Let him sit. Let him watch. But
• 18:58
  Speaker 5: then for Cam, if that happens, that's part of the process, too.
• 19:03
  Speaker 7: Like, look at Bryce Young in Carolina. There have been
• 19:06
  Speaker 7: many quarterbacks that have had to sit down and watch
• 19:09
  Speaker 7: to kind of, you know, take it all in to
• 19:11
  Speaker 7: see what's going on. And then get back out there.
• 19:14
  Speaker 7: But look, that's the decision Robert Sala has to make.
• 19:18
  Speaker 7: And either way, Cam has to accept the decision and perform.
• 19:24
  Speaker 5: Either way, he has to perform.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, man.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: I think they're just going to play him all season.
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: And I think the two coaches have been told to
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: do that. I don't know if they want to make
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: a change that they would be able to.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: Honestly, I don't know.
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: I think they just want to play Cam Ward through
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: the season and try to evaluate him. But, I mean,
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: if you don't make a change now, it doesn't matter
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: a few weeks from now. You know, like if you're
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: one in eight and you make a change, that doesn't
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: do anything.
• 19:48
  Speaker 7: Go ahead.
• 19:48
  Speaker 5: I'm sorry.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: No, go ahead.
• 19:50
  Speaker 7: Now, I was going to say, right, if you're 0-8
• 19:51
  Speaker 7: or 0-8, it's not going to do anything.
• 19:54
  Speaker 5: So another tough decision. What are we playing for, right?
• 19:58
  Speaker 7: Are we trading Jeffery Simmons at the deadline to get
• 20:02
  Speaker 7: more people? Because at the end of the day, if
• 20:05
  Speaker 7: I'm Big Jeff, man, enough is enough is enough.
• 20:08
  Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying?
• 20:10
  Speaker 7: You know, I have to be thinking about my career
• 20:13
  Speaker 7: at this point. I'm in year eight, and then I
• 20:15
  Speaker 7: got at least– Three to four really good ones left.
• 20:18
  Speaker 7: You know, I understand I.
• 20:20
  Speaker 5: Just got the bag. I got $ 100.
• 20:21
  Speaker 7: Million, but he's got a lot of money already. You know,
• 20:24
  Speaker 7: at some point, you want to win football games. So
• 20:26
  Speaker 7: it's a lot of things to think about.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: So I'm going to try to predict this. I know
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: players get paid. They're pros.
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: They show up, and they're supposed to play well. Speaking of, like,
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: Simmons and tired of the BS and tired of losing,
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: I'm thinking KB is going to call BS a few
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: years ago if a coach came in in week five,
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: right after week five, and told the locker room this.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: Here's Salah.
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: You know, like I told the locker room after the
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: game just now, it's these next... 12 games or whatever
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: we have is going to define the people that we're
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: going to ride with moving on to the next year.
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: Not that we're cashing out, but just to be clear.
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: But these next 12 games are going to identify who's
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: going to be here when we get this thing turned around.
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: Dude, we're going into week six here. In 2020, Keith,
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: going into week six, Ryan Tannehill and that offense puts
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: over 600 yards of total offense in a game. That
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: was not that long ago. but it feels like ancient history.
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: And now solid just seems zapped to me. Like right there.
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: I realized you just got their ass kicked, but he's
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: killing the locker room. Like, Hey, we're going to evaluate half.
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: This roster will be turned over anyway. If I'm a player,
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: I'm thinking like, I'm out of here. I don't want
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: to be a part of this.
• 21:47
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't know what the locker room is like there,
• 21:52
  Speaker 7: the vibe of the locker room, you know what I'm saying?
• 21:55
  Speaker 7: But I know that they're four losses away from their
• 21:58
  Speaker 7: fifth losing season.
• 22:00
  Speaker 5: In a row. You know what I mean?
• 22:02
  Speaker 7: So for me, I just put myself in Jeffrey Simmons'
• 22:06
  Speaker 7: shoes because I've been there. Being one of the best
• 22:09
  Speaker 7: players on the team in a losing situation, the only
• 22:12
  Speaker 7: difference is.
• 22:13
  Speaker 5: We had dogs on our team.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: No doubt.
• 22:15
  Speaker 5: We had some guys that, you know, who can look to,
• 22:18
  Speaker 5: like Vandenbosch. I can look to.
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: They want to fight.
• 22:21
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 22:21
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I can look to.
• 22:22
  Speaker 7: You know, they went and got Chris Hope and David Thornton,
• 22:25
  Speaker 7: and then there was a young Steven Tulloch that wanted
• 22:28
  Speaker 7: to be a dog.
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: You know what I mean? Yeah. We had, like, Tony Brown,
• 22:31
  Speaker 5: who was a journeyman. You know what I'm saying? Yeah.
• 22:33
  Speaker 5: So we had pieces, like.
• 22:36
  Speaker 7: I feel like the Titans keep losing in free agency
• 22:39
  Speaker 7: because the free agents they get, they don't come in
• 22:42
  Speaker 7: and produce like top flight free agents. They don't, they're
• 22:45
  Speaker 7: not game changers and they haven't been locker room changers either.
• 22:49
  Speaker 5: And I say that.
• 22:51
  Speaker 7: Not in a disrespectful way, but when I was on
• 22:54
  Speaker 7: bad teams, of course I was the heartbeat.
• 22:58
  Speaker 5: But at the same time, we needed other things.
• 23:01
  Speaker 7: We needed other components to the team to make the
• 23:05
  Speaker 7: old line good, to make the secondary good, to have
• 23:08
  Speaker 7: a different approach to talk to younger guys.
• 23:10
  Speaker 5: So all of those things matter.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: I mean, they're getting worse. Your team's had a standard,
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: an identity. You pointed this out last night.
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: You also called out the free agents before they signed
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: with us at the Super Bowl.
• 23:23
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: And it kind of played out this way.
• 23:26
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: Solid goes from all gas, no brake. And I realized
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: like I harp on this because, but that, that's all
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: they were, that's all they were saying.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: That was their one slogan. They don't have a bunch
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: of them. There's one. And now he's literally talking about sunshine. Uh,
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: here he is.
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: Uh, cause like I said, the, these, these young kids
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: are going to continue to get better and we're going
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: to flip this thing. And eventually this organization is going
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: to have its day in the sun. And unfortunately I
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: know it's not good right now, but, um, I've seen
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: a lot in my 20-plus years, and I've got a
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: lot of faith in this group and their ability to.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, even he knows the death march is on.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: We have three months of this left, man.
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 24:10
  Speaker 5: I mean, look, hope floats in dull situations. And this
• 24:14
  Speaker 5: is a dull situation.
• 24:15
  Speaker 7: And I really hope that Robert Sala is able to really,
• 24:19
  Speaker 7: you know, keep these guys locked in week to week.
• 24:22
  Speaker 7: You know, we keep they keep going out there after
• 24:26
  Speaker 7: the Jets game. You know, the Eagles in the Giants
• 24:29
  Speaker 7: game were two winnable games. Actually, all of these games
• 24:32
  Speaker 7: were winnable. We start from zero, you know. on paper,
• 24:36
  Speaker 7: they're all winnable. We see what the Titans can do.
• 24:39
  Speaker 7: It's just unfortunate. They can't get out of their way.
• 24:42
  Speaker 7: They can't make plays. I don't even know, but I'm
• 24:46
  Speaker 7: sure the defense has less than five takeaways in five games.
• 24:49
  Speaker 5: That helps also. They can't establish the running game.
• 24:53
  Speaker 7: So there are a lot of football things and we're
• 24:56
  Speaker 7: just keeping it on the field that are really prohibiting
• 25:00
  Speaker 7: the Titans from having success and consistency and and culture
• 25:05
  Speaker 7: are two of the biggest things.
• 25:06
  Speaker 5: You know, consistency breeds wins.
• 25:09
  Speaker 7: And then culture, you know, if the team has the culture,
• 25:13
  Speaker 7: it develops your identity. If you have an identity, even
• 25:18
  Speaker 7: when you're losing, like the Texans, they know their identity.
• 25:21
  Speaker 7: They know who they are. So, okay, we're playing the Titans.
• 25:24
  Speaker 7: It might be a close game. But at some point.
• 25:27
  Speaker 5: We're going to have them on the ropes and knock
• 25:28
  Speaker 5: them out. And that's what happens.
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: How about this?
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: So they've trailed by two scores in four of the
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: five games. They drafted a wide receiver number four overall.
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: Quality free agent wide receiver in Wondell Robinson. He was
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: a 1,000-yard receiver for a rookie quarterback last year. Ward's
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: thrown for fewer than 200 yards in 80% of the
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: game so far. I mean, he hasn't thrown for 300 yet.
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: He had 34 300-yard games in college. And a lot
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: of them came in, in FBS. Once he got to
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: Washington state, he had eight games of 400 plus. I mean,
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: it's not like he can't throw and show out and,
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: you know, ball.
• 26:08
  Speaker 5: He's not pulling the trigger for some reason. He's not
• 26:11
  Speaker 5: pulling the trigger.
• 26:12
  Speaker 7: It's like college is one thing.
• 26:16
  Speaker 5: Right. And then you get to the pros.
• 26:19
  Speaker 7: You got to continue to prove yourself. You know, we
• 26:21
  Speaker 7: want to, obviously see some plays being made out there,
• 26:25
  Speaker 7: something that looks like, okay, we're moving forward, especially this
• 26:29
  Speaker 7: far into year two. And I don't know necessarily what
• 26:32
  Speaker 7: the disconnect is in the offensive room. And look, Coach,
• 26:38
  Speaker 7: Salah said that they're playing football one-on-one.
• 26:40
  Speaker 5: So this is what football one-on-one looks like.
• 26:43
  Speaker 7: If you've been to college, football, I mean, one-on-one classes
• 26:48
  Speaker 7: are just a review of your senior year in college.
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: Remedial.
• 26:52
  Speaker 7: Yeah, it's like the basic stuff. So we're getting basic
• 26:56
  Speaker 7: football rolled out. And not just offensively. When Coach Salah
• 27:00
  Speaker 7: talks about his defense, he talks about, you know.
• 27:03
  Speaker 5: Them learning and putting it together. They're just not quite
• 27:06
  Speaker 5: there yet.
• 27:07
  Speaker 7: So, you know, he's very honest when he says that
• 27:10
  Speaker 7: it's football one-on-one right now. And you heard him. Once
• 27:14
  Speaker 7: these young guys start to learn, then everything will be
• 27:16
  Speaker 7: all right. But there's no proof in the pudding.
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I see rookies come in and perform,
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: various rookies across the league. It's October, though. It's time
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: to see stacks. Tell the story.
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: When you went to camp and you saw Vince, you knew, okay,
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: this guy can play, right? You identified that. Do you
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: know that early on, man, we suck, or okay, we
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: can contend?
• 27:47
  Speaker 7: Yeah, you could tell them. You always feel like you
• 27:49
  Speaker 7: can contend. And those guys are really being honest when,
• 27:52
  Speaker 7: you know, they speak in front of the media during
• 27:55
  Speaker 7: the week and they say they feel they can go
• 27:57
  Speaker 7: out there and win because they definitely do.
• 27:59
  Speaker 5: Like, that's just the thing. They definitely do.
• 28:01
  Speaker 7: But what are you doing as a player to ensure
• 28:06
  Speaker 7: that your job.
• 28:07
  Speaker 5: Is being done 100%, right?
• 28:09
  Speaker 7: On defense, are we all watching film together as a
• 28:12
  Speaker 7: unit to make sure we're talking through our assignments? On offense,
• 28:16
  Speaker 7: are we doing those things? Are we doing the little
• 28:19
  Speaker 7: things that make teams great? And the thing with the
• 28:21
  Speaker 7: Titans is they haven't been great. I mean, they haven't
• 28:25
  Speaker 7: been good since, like you said, 2020. And who's there
• 28:29
  Speaker 7: to really show them how to be great or how
• 28:32
  Speaker 7: to be good? You know, I understand you have... Imani
• 28:35
  Speaker 7: Hooker there and Big Jeff are the only people there
• 28:38
  Speaker 7: from when they were winning. And Robert Sala, Brian Dayball,
• 28:42
  Speaker 7: they've only been a part of coaching staffs that have won.
• 28:45
  Speaker 7: They've never been the head guy and produced winning football.
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: Keith, their second best player on the roster is an
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: offensive guard. That's not good. You know, like I this
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: is just so it's so like seller.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: If I'm a fan, I don't know. what I'm thinking
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: of why I'm a fan. Final thing on this.
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: Does Cam Ward and Robert Sala realize they're going to
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: be the faces of this terrible run?
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: They talk all the time. They're the only ones who
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: consistently speak to the media.
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: We know the front office is not going to speak.
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: Borgonzi doesn't have to based on the media policy. The
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: coordinators speak, but the face of the franchise are those
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: two dudes. This death march is going to be verbalized
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: through them. And it's going to be repetitive to the
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: point where people are going to cash out if they
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: continue the 0-17 run.
• 29:44
  Speaker 5: Yeah, no, 1,000%.
• 29:45
  Speaker 7: And I'm a firm believer you have to go into
• 29:48
  Speaker 7: the dark before you see the light.
• 29:49
  Speaker 5: And that's where the Titans are right now. They're in
• 29:52
  Speaker 5: the dismal. They're in the most darkest spot.
• 29:54
  Speaker 7: And, you know, you're going to see what Robert Sala
• 29:57
  Speaker 7: is made of.
• 29:58
  Speaker 5: You're going to see what Cam Ward is made of.
• 30:00
  Speaker 7: At the end of the day, yeah, you know, media
• 30:03
  Speaker 7: can complain, fans can complain, but you got to make
• 30:07
  Speaker 7: a decision. If you're a fan of the Titans, then
• 30:10
  Speaker 7: be a fan of the Titans and.
• 30:12
  Speaker 5: Sit in the shit that's going on right now. And
• 30:15
  Speaker 5: if you're out on Cam Ward, then you're out on
• 30:17
  Speaker 5: Cam Ward and you're a.
• 30:18
  Speaker 7: Fan of the Titans, but just make a decision, draw
• 30:22
  Speaker 7: your line in the sand and go with it this
• 30:24
  Speaker 7: year because that's obviously what Robert Sala is preaching and
• 30:28
  Speaker 7: telling that, look, We're developing this team.
• 30:32
  Speaker 5: And in the next three.
• 30:33
  Speaker 7: Months, we're about to see who's on board for the future.
• 30:36
  Speaker 5: That's what it sounds like to me.
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I just thought half the roster won't be here.
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: You know, like it doesn't really matter. They're going to
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: turn this thing over. I think that's just I the
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: rest of the roster is being used for one guy.
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: They're just going to run it out with Cam and
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: everybody else is going to play it out. It's bizarre
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: because Amy Adams Strunk has fired so many. based on
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: results and losing. She's always talking about, we're going to
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: get this right. I want to win as much as
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: the fans. She speaks to the fans in her statement,
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: or she used to.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: And now, it's just like, okay. Well, throw it in,
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: you know?
• 31:09
  Speaker 7: In my opinion, man, when it comes to Miss Amy, like,
• 31:14
  Speaker 7: she doesn't have the right, she doesn't have football people
• 31:17
  Speaker 7: around her, you know? I feel like, you know, football
• 31:21
  Speaker 7: people start with Mike Berganzi and Adolph, you know what
• 31:24
  Speaker 7: I mean? Obviously on that side, but other than that,
• 31:27
  Speaker 7: you know, like, call a spade a spade, with all
• 31:30
  Speaker 7: due respect, I don't know how familiar Burt Nighthill was
• 31:34
  Speaker 7: with football operations before he got the job in that
• 31:37
  Speaker 7: Burt's doing a great job in the community with the
• 31:40
  Speaker 7: stadium and all of those things. But, you know, this
• 31:43
  Speaker 7: is a football organization and the football part is struggling.
• 31:47
  Speaker 7: The stadium is going to be great, but someone has
• 31:50
  Speaker 7: to take responsibility for the football part.
• 31:53
  Speaker 5: And actually the players play on the field. The coaches coach, but.
• 31:57
  Speaker 7: The organization has been on its way down the last
• 32:00
  Speaker 7: five years.
• 32:01
  Speaker 5: And that's not me. That's the outside.
• 32:03
  Speaker 7: That's what you're hearing from fans, people that have been
• 32:07
  Speaker 7: vested and really committed to the Titans for over 25,
• 32:11
  Speaker 7: 26 years.
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: What they're doing results wise is what was expected nationally. Yeah.
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: You know, that's what's. That's what's pathetic about it. It's
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: like this was expected. No one's shocked.
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: They're meeting expectations. I mean, they were just trying to
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: double their win total. And they may not even reach
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: their win total. KB's with us. Hey, coming back, I
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: want to do red glove ready when we come back.
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: I'm going to go through some teams. And Keith's going
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: to tell me whether or not he thinks they're legit
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: or they're just, you know.
• 32:43
  Speaker 5: Blowing smoke.
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, pretenders. Pretenders.
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: We'll do that straight ahead here on Hutton & Withrow, sportandstate.com.
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: Keith Bullock with us, Hutton & Withrow. Chad will join
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: us in like 30 minutes or so. Maybe a little
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: bit shorter time frame than that. Keith, I don't know
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: if you knew this. Clay Travis has a law firm.
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: Proud partner of Sport & State. That makes sense, right?
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: Accidents don't wait for great timing. One bad moment, a wreck,
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: a fall, a doctor who wasn't paying attention. Suddenly you're
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: fighting an insurance company that does this every single day.
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: And that's why Clay started Clay Travis Law. He's a
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: Vanderbilt Law grad. built a firm around the idea that
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: people deserve someone willing to pay attention, ask tough questions,
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: push back when things don't add up. Experienced trial attorneys
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: who bring the fight to corporations and insurers based in Nashville,
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: trusted across the country, a car and truck wrecks, rideshare accidents,
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: medical malpractice, premises liability, you've got product liability. If you
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: were wrong, they want to hear about it. And here's
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: what they promise, honesty. They don't sugarcoat your case. Go
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: to claytravislaw.com, claytravislaw.com, 877-222-4444. Another easy to remember number.
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: 877-222-4444.
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: That's claytravislaw.com. Keith, in 30 seconds or less, tell me
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: about the red gloves. I knew it looked great, but
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: there was a mentality to it.
• 34:04
  Speaker 7: Yeah, now for 30 seconds, you know, Javon Curse had
• 34:08
  Speaker 7: given me some red gloves my first year starting and
• 34:11
  Speaker 7: they were Reebok and I didn't want to wear them
• 34:12
  Speaker 7: on Monday night to change things up. So the next
• 34:15
  Speaker 7: year I had Joey Barenko, our equipment manager. order some
• 34:18
  Speaker 7: red gloves. And it was just like the red accent
• 34:21
  Speaker 7: in the Titans helmet. And it wasn't much, but I
• 34:24
  Speaker 7: felt like, you know, the red was.
• 34:26
  Speaker 5: You know, a little swaggy. Yeah.
• 34:29
  Speaker 7: You know what I mean? And then it just became
• 34:31
  Speaker 7: my trademark. And then, you know, other guys, Pac-Man, Vince,
• 34:36
  Speaker 7: I mean, Pac-Man, CJ, both skates.
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 34:40
  Speaker 7: They all wanted to get some red gloves, but you had,
• 34:42
  Speaker 7: I was like, yo, you had to make plays. So
• 34:44
  Speaker 7: it really signified Playmaker's, In the early 2000s and early 2010s.
• 34:50
  Speaker 7: And then, you know, Joey got pumped and he just
• 34:54
  Speaker 7: let anybody wear them.
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: It led to Mr. Monday Night balling out down there
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: at the Superdome. Hey, Red Glove Ready, I want to
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: get your take on some NFL teams. We'll go rapid fire.
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: You just tell me if they're legit or they're pretending here.
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: Let's start it off with the 49ers. Red Glove reasons,
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: they're 3-0 in the division overall. They racked up five
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: sacks and four turnovers at Seattle. Red zone weapons across
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: this roster. They're consistent. Are they legit? Yeah, Brock's sturdy purdy.
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: That's my guy. And then Shanahan, man, you know, he
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: does it.
• 35:33
  Speaker 7: Year in and year out with whatever talent he has,
• 35:36
  Speaker 7: you know.
• 35:36
  Speaker 5: So they are definitely red glove ready. I put them
• 35:40
  Speaker 5: at the top.
• 35:41
  Speaker 7: And the way that they handled Seattle defensively says a
• 35:44
  Speaker 7: lot to them.
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: Dude, I went through their roster at the end of
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: the season last year with Sala. I recognize like two names.
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: That's how many injuries they had. I did not recognize
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: very many. Number two, Kansas City.
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: Older roster. They have a championship DNA.
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: But does the age really play a factor here?
• 36:03
  Speaker 7: I think, you know, Kansas City is definitely red glove ready.
• 36:07
  Speaker 7: The age plays a factor in the sense of experience.
• 36:10
  Speaker 7: You know, they have a running game now. Patrick Manhole
• 36:13
  Speaker 7: has shown that he can do everything, but he hasn't
• 36:17
  Speaker 7: had to do all the same things.
• 36:19
  Speaker 5: I like how Andy Reid, another.
• 36:21
  Speaker 7: Genius on the offensive side of the ball, they're always
• 36:24
  Speaker 7: able to rinse and repeat.
• 36:27
  Speaker 5: It seems like, when it comes to their offense. And
• 36:29
  Speaker 5: then defensively, all they got.
• 36:31
  Speaker 7: To do is hold teams under 20 points, and they
• 36:34
  Speaker 7: should be able to win.
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they're averaging, I think, 29. Sam Ferran's at 30
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: or something like that. Number three, Minnesota, league best scoring defense.
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: They blitz the crap out of the quarterbacks, and they
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: get after it, man. Uh, Flores, fantastic. But Kyler Murray
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: is the QB.
• 36:52
  Speaker 7: Yeah, no, Flores is amazing. And, um, you know, that's
• 36:57
  Speaker 7: a guy I would love to see as a head coach.
• 36:59
  Speaker 7: You know what I mean? Um, but obviously lawsuits, all that,
• 37:02
  Speaker 7: but that's besides the point. I don't necessarily trust Kyler Murray, right?
• 37:06
  Speaker 7: I haven't seen him get it done at a consistent clip.
• 37:10
  Speaker 7: So right now, um, hopefully it seems like he's matured
• 37:14
  Speaker 7: from the days that, um, you know, Arizona, but yeah,
• 37:19
  Speaker 7: it takes a special quarterback to lock in all season
• 37:22
  Speaker 7: and go all the way.
• 37:23
  Speaker 5: To the dance.
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: And there's their schedule. Their last three opponents are combined
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: two and 13. I think there's a little bit.
• 37:28
  Speaker 5: Of, yeah, I'm not sold. I'm not sold on them.
• 37:31
  Speaker 5: They can't get the red gloves yet.
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: Jacksonville, Jacksonville, four and one. They lead the AFC South. They,
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: they have a solid defense, only 14 points per game allowed.
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence is, is in command under Liam Cohen. And I, Look,
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: they play very well in special teams, too.
• 37:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Jacksonville. I like Jacksonville Jaguars a lot. I can't
• 37:54
  Speaker 5: believe I said that.
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: That's been a while since anyone said that.
• 37:58
  Speaker 7: No, but they're doing really well. Liam Cohen is showing improvement.
• 38:03
  Speaker 7: that he's a great coach. He's able to communicate, obviously,
• 38:06
  Speaker 7: with those guys. He gets them going week in and
• 38:08
  Speaker 7: week out. And, you know, they always find a way
• 38:12
  Speaker 7: to win. And I love the maturation process of Trevor Lawrence.
• 38:16
  Speaker 7: You know, obviously, he was behind a very strong defense
• 38:20
  Speaker 7: early in his career, which allowed him to take that
• 38:23
  Speaker 7: time and mature to be the quarterback that he's been
• 38:26
  Speaker 7: the last couple of years.
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: A gift yesterday from Sirianni there. Hey, I'm curious about this.
• 38:32
  Speaker 5: I'm fascinated.
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: Buffalo, because I've always been told defense wins championships. They
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: allow nearly 27 points per game, Keith.
• 38:39
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's not sustainable.
• 38:42
  Speaker 7: But if they can put up 28, you know, they're winning.
• 38:46
  Speaker 5: It's almost like the Colts, I believe, maybe in like
• 38:49
  Speaker 5: 05 or 06.
• 38:50
  Speaker 7: They had like a playoff run where they had the
• 38:53
  Speaker 7: worst defense in the league, but then they got into
• 38:55
  Speaker 7: the playoffs and they.
• 38:56
  Speaker 5: Were playing the lights out. I remember that Colts team.
• 39:00
  Speaker 5: So you never know.
• 39:02
  Speaker 7: If they can get through the regular season, you never
• 39:04
  Speaker 7: know what happens in the playoffs.
• 39:06
  Speaker 5: They're definitely red glove ready.
• 39:08
  Speaker 7: Josh Allen is a dog and he brings that mentality
• 39:12
  Speaker 7: with the team.
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: He's fantastic.
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: Who do we have up next? We have the Ravens.
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: Right now, Lamar Jackson's on the sideline. Derrick Henry's doing
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: his thing. Are you buying in that with Baltimore winning
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: and they're able to continue to put up W's without
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson when he gets back?
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: This is the year they can actually make their run.
• 39:32
  Speaker 5: Yeah, absolutely.
• 39:33
  Speaker 7: You know, football is always about who's healthy during playoff time.
• 39:39
  Speaker 7: So for Lamar to be able to get six quarters
• 39:43
  Speaker 7: of not playing football to get healthy, and it also
• 39:48
  Speaker 7: gives the, you know, mentor, I believe that's the head coach.
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it is.
• 39:53
  Speaker 5: It gives him an opportunity to get Tyler.
• 39:56
  Speaker 7: Huntley some work because they're going to need him down
• 39:59
  Speaker 7: the stretch.
• 40:00
  Speaker 5: I mean, he's been watching football.
• 40:02
  Speaker 7: Backup quarterback is a very, very, very valuable position these days.
• 40:07
  Speaker 7: And to have one that can go out there, win
• 40:09
  Speaker 7: you a game or two, and if needed to go
• 40:13
  Speaker 7: in the crunch time to go in and perform without
• 40:16
  Speaker 7: the OC having to change his offense that much, they're
• 40:19
  Speaker 7: definitely red blood ready.
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: Man, Henry looks like he's 27, by the way.
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: New England, here's a 3-2 team that one week looks
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: like crap.
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: The next week, they're boat racing teams. Front seven run stuffers.
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: Drake May, again, there's inconsistency, but also he's proven that
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: he can make the run to the Super Bowl.
• 40:43
  Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, at first, if you would have asked
• 40:46
  Speaker 7: me this three weeks ago, I would have said no
• 40:48
  Speaker 7: because I feel that, you know, Since the playoffs, they've
• 40:53
  Speaker 7: kind of got the word out on Drake May.
• 40:55
  Speaker 5: You know, they kind of have the formula. So it's
• 40:58
  Speaker 5: just a little tweaking. Seems like McDaniels went in and
• 41:01
  Speaker 5: did some tweaking. And then Vrabel brings the attitude, right?
• 41:04
  Speaker 7: He has vets there that have done it before. I
• 41:07
  Speaker 7: feel like one of the players that is very instrumental
• 41:10
  Speaker 7: out there is Kevin Byard. Why we let him go
• 41:13
  Speaker 7: over here in Tennessee? I don't know. They need a
• 41:15
  Speaker 7: leader like Kevin Byard in Tennessee right now. But he's
• 41:19
  Speaker 7: one of the leaders for the New England Patriots, and
• 41:21
  Speaker 7: you can see why they would have a turnaround.
• 41:24
  Speaker 5: And A.J. Brown hasn't even been out there for consistently.
• 41:28
  Speaker 7: So I think, you know, I think New England has
• 41:31
  Speaker 7: got back on track and they can wear the red
• 41:36
  Speaker 7: gloves just because they went to the Super Bowl last year.
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: Braybill's very good against quality opponents. They have wins over Buffalo.
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: They have wins over Las Vegas and a win over Pittsburgh. Finally,
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: the Texans at one and four, they're adding Marvin Harrison Jr.,
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: And they finally got their first win. And we saw
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: last year they started with three and still make the playoffs.
• 41:58
  Speaker 5: It's always tough when you start in a hole. I'll
• 42:00
  Speaker 5: have to look at their schedule.
• 42:03
  Speaker 7: I'm not giving them red gloves ready right now, you know,
• 42:06
  Speaker 7: just because they got to win some more games. They
• 42:09
  Speaker 7: only won one game and that was against the worst
• 42:11
  Speaker 7: team in the league. So that's not really too impressive.
• 42:14
  Speaker 7: They went out there and they executed. They got up
• 42:17
  Speaker 7: early and they let the hounds release. They released the
• 42:20
  Speaker 7: hounds and those guys, ended with Will Anderson at three sacks. So,
• 42:24
  Speaker 7: you know, that's the formula to their success, but we
• 42:29
  Speaker 7: need to see it consistently. Maybe they got back on
• 42:32
  Speaker 7: track and reestablished their identity.
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: Dude, coming up, final segment with you.
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: I want to discuss, because you've been able to travel
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: all across the world.
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: I won't be able to do that. I want to
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: get your.
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: Take on the best spots where you would go back
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: to before you visited something somewhere new.
• 42:50
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: That's Keith Bullock with us, host of Bullseye View.
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: More coming here on How to Withdraw.
