You want to introduce yourself to everybody up, Guystan Glad to be a part of the best fan base in the AFC South, that's for sure. Yeah, no, double, We already got our first tighten up, so sweet. At least the fans ain't given up yet despite the records, that's right, that's right. Before we get started, I did want to send a huge thank you to all the new
followers out there. We just fired this up a few weeks ago and we challenged everyone to get us to one hundred followers. All blown us past that. We're approaching two fifty at this point and going for a new goal of five hundred, So see how many we can get this week. I'll get us started off on some some NFL news. The Takes some starting middle linebacker suspended initially for three games, but on appeal they reduced it to two games.
Denzel, that's right, Yeah, you think that's how you think that's going to impact their their defense this week because they've been pretty stout. They they've been stout for sure. I've watched, I mean, who doesn't watch a couple of Houston Texas games, especially if you're a Talians fan, And how CG is performing right now, it's kind of scary. But what people
don't realize is is what's kind of holding Houston together is their defense. And I mean, being a captain on that team is a big part of growth. And for one of your captains to be suspended for I mean, people don't realize. People say it's just two games, but right now it's crunch time. You you guys got to buckle down, and hey, especially in the AFC South, anything could happen, and in our division it's it's always
up for grabs near the end. Houston's never been I mean, I don't want to say never been but recently they haven't been able to find anything out and they're I mean they're they're looking scary. It sucks to say, but they're looking scary. Yeah, looking like who everybody thought he was going to be for once, So a qv ain't coming into the league and collapse.
Yeah, yeah, that's but yeah, losing Denzel peramut. I don't think people realize is going to be a big deal because being a middle linebacker in this league. I mean, you're not just a run stopper. You're you're recognizing offenses, you're correcting audibles. I mean, you're doing way more than just what everyone else thinks you're doing. You know, And if I'm not mistaken, he had the green dot, which means he was calling the plays,
making sure everybody's lined up where they need to be lined up. Like that's a huge loss for two games. I remember back, I think it was maybe two off seasons ago before he signed with the Raiders. I think he was he was visiting with us, and I was super excited because Denzel, I mean, he's he's been a productive veteran for who knows how long he's I mean, he's always leading, he's always out there leading the NFL
and tackles. He's he's always been productive. So I mean for Houston to go, I mean what Houston's doing right now, to lose a big piece like that, I think it's gonna hurt him a lot. Yeah, and what do you think about the league's decision because this is his sixth or seventh in his career of the helmet the helmet, but it's only two this season, Like, do you think that's suspendable to like, you have a second violation in ten weeks and they're going to suspend you suspend them? See you
know what though, I mean the league. I hate to say that the league is becoming soft and everyone's recognizing it. This situation comes kind of brings me back. Do you remember Vantes Perfect? That's why he's gonna bring up next he and it's ironic it happened against the Bengals, considering Perfect was a Bengal win it Yeah, So I mean, this is this situation that's kind of bringing up like Vantes. I know he got I know Vantees got suspended
for I think it was actually like five games, I believe. And but I mean Vantes is a lot. I mean, he was in Denzel Perriman's Novantes. I'll tell you that was a noticeably dirty player without a doubt. I mean he was, he was. He was crazy for sure. Yeah, but it's I mean, I know NFL players had the NFLPA meeting.
They probably talked about the rules going over and I mean they have to realize that this league is becoming so substantially soft that you kind of had to expect something coming for those type of hits, which I don't agree with old school football. You throw it back to the early two thousands where Eddie George is meeting or ray Lewis is meeting Eddie George up the middle. You know they're
not They're not just gonna pull back. They're going full force. And I don't agree with how this league is coming down to it, but I mean, at the end of the day, NFLPA had meetings, they had they set standards, and if you don't meet that standard, it's definitely present. Yeah. And talking about those early two thousands, I remember a Jets game when McNair was out there in a walking boot. He couldn't even drop back
or walk. His lineman was carrying into the next blind of scrimmage. I couldn't imagine anyone being allowed to do that today, Like even though they were wanting to do that, the league wouldn't take that liability today. No, heck no, no. It's it's crazy how how fast it is going down. And speaking about injured quarterbacks, what about Deshaun Watson done for the year. Just when it looked like the Browns were starting to hit a groove,
they have a big miracle comeback against the Raven. Oh man, I was actually watching that game too. Whenever whenever you see the hit first, you know, Deshaun's kind of shaking up and he goes in the back and he goes back in the locker room. When he comes out second half, no one would have thought what the news came out with. I mean, he went fourteen for fourteen and second half with a broken shoulder. I mean,
that's that's I mean, that's insane. I mean, you know, you don't hear about that like that, that kind of stuff, And with Deshaun Watson's past, I mean people are probably calling I mean, who knows what people are thinking of him right now, you know, especially in Cleveland, especially in Cleveland. But I mean the news came out a couple of days
ago that he broke his shoulder. And I mean in this in this time in the season right now, that's huge especially, I mean, not not even for the Titans, for people that are earning the hunt, because I think all AFC North teams are in the playoff picture right now. Houston kicked one of them out. I forget which one, that's right, I think
yep, Houston did did do one of them out. I hate, I mean, I hate to see that, but I mean it's I mean, I think it's honestly favorable for people that are in the hunts because that offense without Deshaun Watson, they won one game with PJ Walker in the back. I mean that's and I think, Pete, I don't think. I don't think PJ. Walker threw for a touchdown that game. I don't think. I think he threw for two interceptions. And they relied all on that defense.
So that defense is really not step up. I mean, their defense is one of the top five in the league right now. I mean, I think I think they're actually the top defense in the league. I think so so. I mean, and I heard that they're gonna start dtr right, yeah, yeah, And I mean dt R has all the intangibles to be a good quarterback, but if you guys watched him in his first start, it did not look pretty. And I mean they lose chubbed the first
half of this season. Now they lose Watson, like their whole offense is just going, Oh, I know it's and Jack Cocklan. I mean they don't have their freaking oh yeah former cot no home. Man. I hated when we let go of him, And I mean him and Luuan were at times talked about the best offensive tackle duo in the league and the good old times baby, yeah, the only two and Ben Jones and Nate Davis and Saple. Yes, the league walk away, Yes, yes, And now
I mean, look at where we're at now. I didn't even want to say it. Man, speaking of where we're at now, shift gears to that Bucks game. Look at what went wrong there? Man, I was rooting for the Bucks. Yeah. It sucks to say because the Bucks have been a powerhouse in the AFC for the past I mean ever since Josh's sophomore season. You know, it sucks to say because I wanted Denver to lose that game so we could kind of he in the same racism. People don't
realize. People are like, oh, Tennessee's out of playoff contention already. People don't realize Jacksonville was in our in our same line of wellhouse last season. They were three and six last season before they went on that big run. And I think Brabel came out and he publicly said, hey, I don't care about a record right now. Jacksonville was three and six last year
and look what I mean, look what they did. So I really think I really wanted Denver to lose that game just so they could we could be because now Denver's looking scary. Yeah, Russe is looking like that's right, that's right. Yeah. And another thing, when we benched, when we benched Mariota and put Tannahill in, we were we were two and four. Then we ended up being three and six after that. And Rabel gave basically the same press conference. He said that he ain't worried about any positioning that
he's trying to get back to five hundred. When we get to five hundred, we can look around the league. I mean that's basically what he said here. Again, Yeah, yeah, yeah, Rabel's a different talk for a different day. Man, it's it's getting there. But I mean watching the Bills, man, you know, people are talking about how how it's all Josh's fall and I mean he's not. His mechanics aren't lining up how
they were last year, and he's all looking the same. I mean, if you look at some of his his throws, I mean the pick to the pick that came off of Gave Davis's hands, I mean, you can't blame that on Josh. It's I mean, he's never been a like technically sound quarterback. He's always been out there free style. Yeah, I mean he's he's I mean, he's the closest to Pat that we have in this
this league. Sure, but and he's never been the most accurate. I mean I'm not saying that, but I mean he's he's a freaking nature. He's sixty six two. I think he's like two forty to fifty. I mean, and he I mean he moves like a running back to sometimes. Yeah. And for people to already throw the Bills under and I mean it's it's crazy. I know they just fired dar o c too, and to do that in the middle of the season, is I mean, I think
that's bizarre. Yes, it seems like an overreaction to me. I mean, I know they're not where they thought they was going to be at this point of the year, but look at what you've done with him in seasons past. It everyone goes through a funky stretch, everyone does. I mean, and to blame one person, I mean, look at the I mean I got whenever I look at OC and DC Firings, I was I always bounce them out. Has the offense been better than the defense? How they've
been balanced is the defense? Their defense isn't much better. So I mean, I don't know what I mean. You you let you let Russell Wilson come out, and he looked like his vintage self. Yeah, you know. So it's not all the offense's fault. But I mean they've had their they've had their woes, they've had their is So I mean, it's it's all I mean, it's all out front office's decision. But I think that
they made a big mistake. Yeah, I agree. I think it was an overreaction, like at least we gave down through the end of the season. They could the end of the season. Yeah, I mean, it's good that they had a backup by Joe Brady. Yeah, but I mean we all see, we all saw what Joe Brady did in Carolina. Oh man, Oh yeah, So it was Bailey's wondering if you have something you want to address on Mike Brabel, Mike Vrabel. Man, I don't even
want to say anything about Mike Brabel right now. That's a different that's a different topic. I can go on and on. People love Rabes, He's a he's a he's what I call a players coach. You know, players love Rabel. But I mean, at the end of the day, you have to make decisions on not hiring your best friend as oc. Yeah. Well he's never for either coordinator position. He's never went outside of his assistance and interviewed anyone, both defensive and offensive. Has always been promoted by a
hit through his friendship. So yeah, absolutely absolutely, And it's I mean, I love Rabel. I loved Rabel as a coach the past years, but recently I'm starting to realize, like, is a really good coach. I mean, you have Treylon Burke's d hop DH and you are seeing a quarterback like Ryan Tannehill throw two touchdowns six interceptions when you have a young gun slinger like Will Levis that we kind of knew was gonna be our our bread
and butter. We were not. I mean, you don't go out and draft a quarterback in the first or second round not thinking he's your here's your thing, you know. And Ryan Tannehill, I think is going up to the late thirties in age. And he don't get me wrong, Tannehill has probably been, in my eyes, the best quarterback Tennessee has seen far franchise in a long time. Yeah, I mean, Carry Collins had one good
year for us. Other than that, I mean, I mean you gotta go back to now, Yeah, I mean since McNair, I mean, yeah, that's that's all I can think about. I mean McNair. I mean, we had Jake Locker, he wasn't really a stud for us. Marcus he had that one good season where but it wasn't Marcus's good season. Was it Derek's good season? Like, you don't really you can't really throw it out there. So and even during that season, we had a coach
get fired. That's how Malarkey ended up coaching us. That's right, that is right, Mike Hunt. Si, Oh my god, I remember Kim Wizon Hunts era. Man, Yeah, crazy era where we're in now that looking back at the Titans and the Bucks here, I mean more red zone
struggles we went over to in the red zone this week. The first drive with promising gets down to the nine yard line, we kick a field gold, and late in the fourth quarter we get down to the six yard line and kick a field goal in a game where we need two touchdowns once. Do you think there's any do you see any way to pick this red zone offense? I mean, I say it's our oc I've I watched that game and I go back to it. We're in the red zone. I don't
see Derek Henry out there. Yeah you know, you see Taj out there. Yeah, Taj is a young stud. But you have the King in the I mean, you have the King on your roster. Why aren't we using them? In correct? And I mean to get down to the six. I think it was well, fourth and one, fourth and two were he decided to Derek Henry is gonna get you two yards? So well, then the thing is we had third and two and so if you're thinking you're going to go for it on fourth down, why not run the King on
third down? And set up fourth and one. So it's I mean, it's mind blowing. And I know we're not the only times I think this too, but I mean it's it's getting to the point to where I mean, you see the frustrations. I don't know if you saw that video where Derrick Henry's looking at Mike Grabils Mike Brabeles walking across him and he stays him down. He just stares him down, and I'm I'm thinking to myself, I'm like, Okay, so we didn't trade Derrick Henry when we could have
got some value for him. Austin's is coming up, He's gonna be a free agent. Are we gonna resign him or I mean, what are we doing? Because it's see I think that we resigning for one year and the only reason he's sacond right now in the league and rushing he's going to go over a thousand yards again, which we're putting somewhere around seven to eight hundred yards of being the all time leader in franchise history. Yeah, because right
now Eddie George has it at ten thousand and nine yards. I think they're resigning for one year just to getting that record. He's gonna Be and Derek and and I know Derek's came out multiple times saying that he wants to be Italian for life. But I mean KB said that, and now he's on Philly, you know, I mean AJ said that one. At one point in his career, Freaking John Robinson screwed us over. You know, he didn't give a J. Brown a contract and he extended KB in a contract
that was crippling. The salary cap is like just dumb decisions. It's yeah, I mean, and I'm excited to see where Ram goes. I mean we have a promising looking for I mean, I have his will. Levis is looking I mean spectacle. I mean he went up in prime time against one of the best defenses that we will that we'll ever see in our era in Pittsburgh Steelers, and he, I mean he looked like the real deal. If you would have thrown that ball a little higher to Josh Wiley,
I think I think why they would have came down with it. And I'm putting that on Tim Kelly as well. The previous play was the same formation and Chigg ran the same route and it was nearly intercepted. And then he replaces Chigg with Wiley and then runs this basically the same play against It's just doesn't call him, I mean, and it's crazy because I mean, going back to going recap back on the Butts game like film sessions, how can you not see, like, how can Tim Kelly not see where we can
improve? I mean, I'm just a fan. You're just a fan, and we're saying, hey, run King Henry twice on thirty two. It's it's common sense. I mean, it's on the opening drive of the game when we had first and goal from the nine, they ran King Henry and he lost two yards to set up second goal from the eleven, and they took Henry off the field knowing that they just now blitz seven to stop Henry. If you way action there and drow all those linebackers in, you're going
to have a wide open Todd end somewhere down there. Well, I mean, without a doubt, I mean, because all you could do is stack the box against King. And it's funny because I mean, we're talking about Derek Henry right now. Going back. I don't know if you follow Chris Johnson on Twitter Chris Johnson, Okay, yes you need to. So he posts every single game, how many times, how many attempts we give Derek and how many yards he has and if it's a winner loss, And I
mean the facts are there. You run Derek Henry more than twenty attempts. We're gonna win the We're gonna win the game. We just this year, I think we've only lost two or three games in his career that he's went over twenty carries. See, I meant to do it. Yeah, I mean, I mean the facts are there. You're you're we're sitting. I mean we're sitting at three and six right now. We have to do something
different. I mean, I mean, the Bucks just let CJ. Stroud throw for five hundred what was it, five hundred yards and five touchdowns the week before. Uh it was for seventy the rookie record all the time, and seventy and five touchdowns. Ye. And you have got to be licking your lips, lifting your licking your chops as an oc is saying, Wow, like we're gonna go into Tampa and we're gonna do the same exact thing
because we have. I mean, I'm not saying Will Levis is better than c J. Strouds c J. Stroud's having one of the best rookie seasons we've ever seen. But Will Levis isn't that far off. I mean that far off. I remember at one point in the draft people were saying that he was the number one quarterback. Yeah, and then he fell all the way to the second round on to us. I mean, I'm the future is bright for us as long as we It's it's crazy how many OC's we're
gonna go through too. I mean, Arthur Smith was probably one of the best OC will ever have in the Verabel era. But we might be able to get in back next year if Hey man, I really hope so, I hope so. I mean, but people are all talking about this raybel going to New England for a first round draft pick. You guys, I mean people that are listening to that stuff. You guys have got to relax. Oh yeah, there's rumors that are flying around everywhere this part of the
season. And if that did happen, I don't personally want it to happen. I like Ray Boy as the coach. I want him to stay. But if we finished this year with the top ten draft pick and that does happen, the Patriots are the only AFC team worse than us. We could end up with two top five draft picks in that case with now, and I mean that just leaves us room to get Marvin Harrison junior. Yep,
and we get we get, we get out we could get. I mean there's so but here, here's the thing is, people are saying that we need to go offensive line first round, second round. People realize this offensive line class is so deep, so deep. I mean people are also saying that you're finishing last place in fantasy. That is, that's that's so so Bailey, So Bailey. The guy who's talking around is one of my cousins. He's a die hard Tension Time fan and we were raised by his dad.
His name's Clint McKinney. He was a diehard huth Snoiler fan, and he converted us as soon as we came out of the womb. And since then it's it's been Thy Nation. I mean Tina thy Nation. I mean we are we're Tyme fans. I mean until we die. I mean when we going from three and thirteen to eight and eight to nine and eight to thirteen and three, I mean we're we're we're on it for for the long for the long haul, that's for sure. Oh yeah, same similar here.
I ended up being a Titan span and I lived seven and a half hours away near Charlotte, North Carolina, and so I was a season ticket holder until twenty twelve, and so I was driving seven and a half hours and watching the game, driving seven and a half hours back home the same day. And yeah, I would look forward to a fifteen hour drive like that now, But back in my early twenties, I was enjoying it.
Thank Yeah, Oh man, I would have enjoyed that too. This was during all the Billy Bullock years and the Jake Locker two and fourteen years, and yeah I saw all that up close and personally. But I also got to see the CJ two K year up close and all that too. So there, yeah, a Lindo White CJ two K era. Man, that was one of the best errors. That will number twenty five Jersey hanging up
behind me there, that's right, that's right, man. But yeah, uh that Bucks game was ugly, that's I mean, going back to the Bucks Tines recap, I mean, but people don't realize we brought on Sean
Murphy Bunting to be our number one guy, and he wasn't there. And Christian Fulton, I mean, he's had one good game, and I would go back to that Atlanta game and I mean he was still getting cooked, you know, Christian Fulton, and he's he had started to look a little bit better against the Ravens and that, like you said, this past defense ain't been there all year. Mhmm. Yeah. And we brought on arden Key, we have we have Harold Landry back. I mean where where I
mean our past rush hasn't been anywhere. Yeah, I mean it. It sucks to say that our secondary is terrible, but our secondary is looking terrible because our past rush isn't getting what we want. Yeah, And we've always depended on Simmons to get a double team and then someone else to stun in on that double team and get some pressure. And just nobody is getting in that gap that he's creating this year. And we just now got our first du boal of the oh then, so we might as well go ahead and
start talking about it. The Titan's at the gags this week. I love it. I love it, oh man. So the big story that I'm looking at coming into this game is Rabel is saying that we may start our third different left tackle in seventeen days. We started MPF against the Steelers, Dealerd against the Bucks. Injuries took both of them out, and now I guess Raidings they're looking at this thing. I have to say this, Raidings, he played left tackle his whole college career. That's where he's gonna feel
more, more, most comfort, most comfortable at. But here's the thing. Jags are gonna put Josh Allen on him, yep, a game. That's what they did with Vega down there in the Bucks game. It was a whole game, just slamming into him in and I don't know if you've seen the clip where he gets blown up in the Bucks game, and I mean it just looks like he doesn't know what he's doing. Yeah, and I remember we were so high on ratings. I think we drafted him second
round, second round. We were high on him, and he just hasn't looked promising yet. I mean, due to all the injuries too. You can't run cl C, but I mean we have to do something. Ran through his first big contract at Dennis Daily two point zero, you know, and Andre Dillard and I just read a stat today saying Dennis Dally has played in or played three hundred and fifty two snaps and Andre Dillard has played two hundred, like maybe one hundred sad. Yeah, and Andre Dillard is worse
than Dennis Daily, dude, yea he is? What are we doing? It's He's almost allowed as much sex this year already that Daily did all of last year and we're only what eight games in nine It's but I will say this in defensive RAIDNS, he would flows coming in there. He's being taken practice squad and third team reps whole season. This will be his first full week of practice or any any rips at all with the first team. Yeah, so you know, maybe he gets out there and looks a little bit
better. This better better this week? Oh oh, I mean if not, we're gonna end up in the same exact conversation. Yeah, exactly, But I think I mean in Raiding's got interviewed today too, and he said he feels comfortable getting a full weekend of getting reps in that left tackle. I think us bringing in that thorn th Throckton guy as as last Yeah, he he was cut by the Panthers this week as well. Yes, this
weekend this whole season because I kind of looked him up. I saw him against I saw him play against the Chicago Bears in that Thursday night football game, and uh, people were saying he was getting beat, but it really wasn't him. It was on a see the nose guard. He was covering the center. And it's kind of hard whenever you are looking at defensive line versus offensive line, because you don't know where they're lined up. They're lining up in a gap, the big gaps gap. You don't really know where
they're lined up. Really, but he hasn't actually allowed a sack all season, which they signed me up. Yeah, it's better than anything we've got on the Rusters. Amen. Amen, I mean we're we're looking terrible.
So if the offense candle look better with Raidents or whoever they decide to put out there, do you think Levis I get the sense that you do think Levis can rekindle his spark from the Falcons game, and because he had four touchdowns no interceptions, and in the two games since it's two interceptions and no touchdown touchdowns, I do. I do think he could rekindle what he had in the Atlanta Falcon game. I know Atlanta's defense is top ten right now.
And I think the reason why Lewis wasn't as super as the game in Atlanta or the game in Nashville against Atlanta was because it was probably his first prime time game and to play t J. Watt, I mean, he's a freaking menace. I don't know if you guys ever seen that that photo of him after he got that sack with his helmet off. I mean, he's just a he's a man amongst boys, and he he looked promising in some areas for sure. One thing that I like about Levis is you're never
you never know what you're gonna get out of him. There could be a bust to play like that. Next that Nick Westbrook a Keene touchdown that he threw against Atlanta off of his back foot rolling out to the right and he's throwing to his left crossbody. I mean, we've never had a quarterback that could do that. Yeah, and it's I mean, I'm really high on Will Levis. I have been since we picked him up in the draft. I know people said he had he had ugly stints in college or offseason program,
but hey, wake up, we don't have. We don't have any better league. The thing that I think gives that gives me hope for Levis and the offensive line this week. The Jags are bottom five in overall past defense and they're also bottom five in the number of sacks they generated this year. So the the Steelers and the Bucks both had solid pass rushes. The Jags they're not going to get there in the same way. And so if that offensive line can even be decent, then Levis is going to have a
chance to push it down field this week. I think I think he's gonna air it out, and I think he's gonna wake up and realize that d Hop is I mean, I'm guessing d Hop's getting unhappy. D h is getting unhappy. I think Tim, I think Tim Kelly's gonna opened up the playbook to where we're gonna look like it was against Atlanta. Jacks are coming off an ugly win. No I can't. I mean I can name, of course, but I don't think they have anybody outside of Josh Allen on
that defense that is really considerably talkable. And what I mean by talkable is we don't even we don't even need to bring them up because they're not. They're not, They're non existent. And as many two hundred yard games as Henry has had against the Jaguars, I would come out the first play with a play action rollout and take a deep shot that Phillips because you know they're coming at Henry and Dublin Hopkins, So go to Phillips in single coverage and
back those safeties up right off the bat. Oh hi, I'm down with that. I am down with that. I've I'm I'm I know. Are you? Are you super high on Kyle right now? I was super high on him until he just kept fumbling, fumbling, fumbling, and then I got super low on him. But these last two games he led the team in receiving both games. And so if we cannot put him back there on punt returns and let him get us sixty seventy yards a game, I'll take
that from him all day. Oh amen, amen. I mean, he's he's starting to turn out what we well, we hope for him to turn out. I remember, you put him on a slant or something, He's going to catch it. Oh yeah, oh yeah. And he's he's always been that guy. I mean, even going back to UCL his UCLA days. He's always been that guy that he doesn't care if he's going to take a hit. Yeah, he's he's he's gonna come away with that ball. So I'm I'm super high on Kyle. I know Traylon didn't practice again today
due to the concussion. Yeah, it looks like he's going to be out. That's him and deal With are only two starters that ain't practicing, So I mean it looks like those two are going to be out again this week. Yeah, I mean it would be good to have Traylon. I mean he I know, he caught that that deep ball against Pittsburgh and he ended up being out and that's the hit that he got concussed on. But people don't realize how big Traylon is to this offense because it will it will open
up d hop. Yeah. Well, now you at least have to guard Traylon Burks when he's out there, That's what I'm saying. Yeah, and no shade of Westbrook Kine. I mean, he's he's He kind of reminds me of of Whu taj Or. Yeah you remember Sharp? Yeah, yes, yeah, yeah, we always bring in some tas Man Sharp. He reminds me of sharp where he's not, he's not the best. He's gonna do what he needs to do. Yeah, he's on a he's on a dog. But whenever you and people are already talking down about Treylon and you
can't you can't judge. I mean, he's he's only in the second year. Yeah, it's just the injury. People are tired of seeing him on that injury. Where I get it. I get that. It is what it is. With that, like the concussion, you can't have those no more. The NFL is pretty straight, without a doubt, without a doubt. You've got any predictions what you think is going to happen this weekend? Man, I've had so many predictions that went south, pretty much all of
him for me this year. Then one part that I hope this is this is my big hope prediction, that we come out and we run Derek more than what we have been the past two games. I know he's got it. I think he's got to combine twenty eight carries in the past two games, which yeah, which is I mean, that's just bizarre to me. Whenever you run, whenever you run Derek, Derek's not going to get his way until the midway third quarter, the people are gonna start, people are
gonna start start hitting to tackle him, you know. And going back to the to the fourth quarter on in the Tampa Bay game, I don't even think Derek Henry got that many carries, even that many snaps, so that I feel like they went away from him when he had his longest run of the game, which was only eight yards and set up a second and two, and that's when Dealerd went out and Ravens came in and his first game appearance, he had back to back false starts, went from second and two
to second and twelve. Henry went off the field, and like they kind of went away from him at that point, which which I mean, being in the position that we're at now, you have got to realize what's working and what's not working. And what's working is when we run Derrick Henry twenty plus times a game, you know, and with Derrick Henry you're kind of holding your breath. You never know what he's gonna break one off, yep. And to have that on your team and not use him correctly, it's
just kind of sickening. So my prediction, if my if we give Derrick Henry twenty plus carries. He's going. He's gonna be in his hometown of Jacksonville. I know he grew up Jacksonville, Jackaguarre fan. I know he's gonna have his whole family there. He's gonna want to show out. I think we're gonna give him twenty plus carries if we want to control the ball. My my bull prediction for this game is Derek Kenner's gonna have about twenty
three carries for about a buck fifty seven and two hoodies. And I think we're gonna I I'm a strong believer and Vabel. I think our defense is gonna figure it out at some point. I know arden Key's gonna come for blood. I think our defense is going to dominate this game too. And I think we're gonna win thirty one seventeen. That's how I like it. So as far as my prediction, I ain't gonna be as bold. But they say when you go into these rivalry games, you know you throw the
records out. We know what both teams records are, but if we don't even look at the record, we just look at it's a rivalry game. Well, they're in the bottom half of the league in passing offense, just like we are when it comes to rushing offense. We have nine hundred and fifty eight yards. They have nine hundred and fifty nine. So I mean, you can't get closer than one yard. Yup. And their past defense, as I said, it's bottom five in yards, bottom five in sacks.
So I'm going to stick with you. I'm going to predict an upset. I will go twenty one seventeen on the upset. Okay, that's that's that's a good prediction. What do you got? What do you want? I want to hear one of your player predictions. Player prediction, I'm going to say that they overcommit on Henry because they're not They're gonna say, we're not gonna let Henry beat us. Beat us with somebody else. I'm gonna say Levis goes twenty five of thirty eight and he ends up with about three
hundred and fifty yards and two touchdowns, no interceptions. I love it. I love it. I love it. That's that would be. That would be an amazing day for see. Will Levis get back on track and kind of stamp his his way on this fan base? And I mean I hope everyone thinks like how I do. I'm really high on Levis and every time we watch a Titans game now, it's kind of it's it's kind of gut wrenching because you never know what's gonna happen, and you know where the record
we're at right now. But it makes it a little bit better seeing a rookie quarterback come in and produce like how he's producing. Clarence thinks we're dreamings. Thanks Clarence, and we'll see we'll on Sunday. Yeah, but as long as the defense can hold up, I've got faith in the in the game. But we'll see how they do. But I think that's gonna do it for us this this weekend. You want to let everyone know where they can find you any social media if you want to plug or Yeah, hey
