Locked On Titans - Daily Podcast On The Tennessee Titans - Brian Callahan SABOTAGES Tennessee Titans v Denver Broncos & Cam Ward Shines Amid Disaster Coaching
Episode Date: September 8, 2025The Tennessee Titans LOST to the Denver Broncos despite a tremendous showing by the defense and Cam Ward looking like he belongs, mostly because Brian Callahan absolutely blew the game. Penalties, pla...y calls and mismanagement doomed the Titans and it all falls on the feet of Callahan, who again, looked completely lost as a coach. Cam Ward didn't look good in the box score, but considering the support he was getting, it is hard to not be impressed by what Ward was able to pull off. He wasn't alone though as the special teams and defense played fantastic. However, there was a lot of bad outside of Callahan. Calvin Ridley, Jarvis Brownlee Jr. and Dan Moore all did nothing to help the team.

Brian Callahan 100% sabotaged the Tennessee Titans in week one,
proving once again he is not an NFL head coach.
And I'm going to break it down on today's edition of Locked On Titans.

No doubt about it, no way around it.
Brian Callahan is 100% at fault for the Tennessee Titans loss against the Denver Broncos.
They lose 20 to 12, and quite frankly, it would not have mattered what the Denver Broncos did in this game
because Brian Callahan is a first-class bozo.
Over and over and over again, this man proves he is not an NFL-level head coach.
I've said it throughout the all-season.
I've talked about how much the microscope, the lens, needs to be on Brian Callahan,
and nobody wanted to listen to it.
Brian Callahan absolutely destroyed.
and sabotaged any chance that the Tennessee Titans had to win this game.
Now, before we get into the long list of disaster decisions by Brian Callahan,
do want to thank you for making Locked-on Titans your first listen each and every day.

The season has kicked off.
We got so much to talk about again.
I am your host, Tyler Rowland.
25 years is a Tennessee Titans fanatic.
Cover the team for USA Today, Sports Illustrated,
and hosted the number one Tennessee Titans podcast,
Locked on Titans for now seven seasons.
All right, I am so angry.
I am so angry in my bones.
Not that the Tennessee Titans lost.
Not that the Tennessee Titans lost.
I told you guys, I thought that they were going to lose.
And this is crazy how it happens all the time.
I tell myself, I think the Titans are going to lose this game.
I'm not going to get mad that they lost this game.
I'm not going to get mad that they...
And then they find a way to lose the game in the dumbest fashion possible.
And literally, literally, I might have a heart attack on stream.
I am so pissed off at Brian Callahan.
The Titans should have won this game.
If you take 50 other NFL head coaches currently hired that have been fired in the last years,
if you take 50 other NFL coaches, the Tennessee Titans win this game.
Bozo Nix tried to give the game away.
The Broncos were awful in this game.
Awful.
Like, let's go through the list.
All we can do is go through the list.
All right, let's do it.
Number one, the Titans come out of the gate, and what did I say all week that they couldn't do?
You can't do slow developing runs the Broncos are one of the heaviest blitz teams on run downs in the NFL and he comes out with two gap runs that take forever to develop and guess what happens? They get smoked and then it's 3rd and 10
You're across your own 50 yard line and you run the ball you do a surrender run on 3rd and 10 across your own 50 and surrender a field goal. You know what would have helped the Titan?
a touchdown, despicable, cowardice from Brian Callahan to come out and start the game, period.
And then, and then the play setups.
These guys don't know what they're doing on offense.
They have no clue.
The Titans ran a handoff to Tony Pollard, and nobody took the handoff.
And Cam was just like, I guess I got to run it then.
The Titans, I have never seen this in my life.
I have never in my life watching an NFL game,
seen a team run a wide receiver screen and nobody tried to catch the ball.
Everyone blocked three people, Chigacanquo, Calvin Ridley, whoever else was the wide receiver.
They all blocked.
Not a single person on the wide receiver screen turned around and said,
Cam, throw me the ball.
They don't know what they're doing.
How many times did the Titans almost get a delay a game or actually get a delay a game?
Because they could not get lined up.
That's coaching.
The team is unprepared.
They have no idea what they're doing out there
And then, and let's just stay with the individual things
We get into the red zone
We get into the red zone
And do you guys remember the Detroit Lions game last year?
Do you remember the Detroit Lions game last year
Where the Titans ran the same damn pick play
Over and over and over four straight downs
And got a turnover on downs on the goal line
Because they ran the same rollout pick play
Over and over against the Lions
And Callahan gets one opportunity at the goal line
And what does he do?
The same pick play that has never worked for you
in your entire head coaching career.
What are you doing?
Holy cow.
Holy cow.
All right.
Not only did he run the pick play,
he rolled Cam Ward out so that Cam Ward,
a natural creator and playmaker
only has half of a field to work with.
Bozo!
Clown car.
Pathetic!
This is a disgrace.
And then we get to what might be
what might be the most damning thing
that happened to Brian Callahan throughout the game
right before halftime
the Titans are on their own one yard line
their own one yard line
out of all the times in the world
for Bozo Callahan to run run pass
or run run run
you're on your own one yard line
what are you doing
there's a minute left until halftime
what are you doing he throws the ball
three times in a row
almost takes a safety
and the Broncos
don't have to use any of their timeouts
they give the ball right back to the Broncos
punting out of the shadow of their own goalpost
and the Broncos hit the only freaking touchdown
that they had in the first half
Brian Callahan gave them seven points on a platter
and didn't even make them use their timeouts
that was you think that I am critical
even the broadcast team
even the announcement
are like what is this guy doing I saw Nick Wright from Fox Sports say that what Brian Callahan did before
halftime is more negligible and more insane than anything that Will Levis did last year and I agree with him
pathetic irresponsible malpractice coaching that gifted the Broncos seven points and you didn't even charge them a few timeouts
of all the times the only drive in the game where
he went past, pass, pass.
Other than the very last drive.
No, he started with a run play on that one too.
There's two minutes left.
They're down by eight and he runs the ball.
But they're on the one yard line before halftime
and just need to salt it out and take it to halftime.
And he goes, pass, pass, pass
and gives the Broncos an easy field.
I mean, it is like,
I have never been this animated on the show
other than when the Titans lost to the Bengals
in the playoffs.
And we just spent six minutes
going through every despicable, insane, unacceptable mistake that Brian Callahan made.
We didn't even talk about the second half yet.
We haven't even talked about the big picture problems yet.
Titans get an interception to start the second half.
He goes, run, run, punt.
Thanks, Brian.
How inspired.
Way to take advantage of the turnovers.
And we'll get there.
Then the busted run that I mentioned earlier by Tony.
Pollard. Two penalties after that, and the drive is dead. More penalties. And then the
Broncos muff a freaking punt and put the Titans within the 30 yard range. Run, sack, sack. And I saw
people out there. People who cover the team for money say, oh, bad job by Cam Ward there. He can't
do that. Did you see the routes? If Cam Ward is in the pocket and Brian Callahan is running
vertical routes. How is Cam Ward supposed to get the ball, get the ball out of his hands quickly?
There aren't any quick routes. And the Titans ran heavy protections. So there aren't any people
in the flat or any checkdowns or dumpoffs. That's a bad play call. You can't run only
vertical routes. It was third and eight. It was, or no, it was like third and 18 or something
like that. And if the Titans just get five or six yards, they're in field goal range.
But instead, Callahan calls vertical routes and Cammore gets sacked and they lose 27 yards on the drive
after a muff punt puts them basically in the red zone.
Malpractice.
I have never in my life since the Detroit Lions game last year,
I have never in my life seen such a poorly coached football game.
I have never in my life seen an NFL head coach give away the game for his football team the way Brian Callahan did.
I've never seen it
I watched a high school football game on Friday night
I do the PA announcing
both of those coaches
would have not hurt the Titans as bad as Brian Callahan did today
he didn't just not help them
he destroyed them he sabotaged them
so those are the big picture things
right those are not the big picture
those are all the little details
where Brian Callahan absolutely
sabotaged this football team
now let's go to the big picture stuff
you guys want to look at some stuff
What does this remind you of?
Six sacks.
Six sacks.
The Titans win the turnover battle
4 to 2 and really 4 to 1.
Cam Ward fumbled at the very end
after he got sacked again
trying to make something happen on the last play of the game.
Really, the Titans won the turnover battle 4 to 1.
And then penalties.
13 penalties for 131 yards.
The Tennessee Titans' offense had 133.
the Titans had as many penalty yards
as they had offensive yards
I like
I said it in my short video
I said it in my short video
but we need to call the DEA
we need to call the FBI
somebody dig up Walter Cronkite
somebody called Pablo Torre finds out
we need to have an investigation
into Brian Callahan
because there is no
way that he is such a moron to do what he did out there today.
Unbelievable. Unbelievable.
I just, I'm beside myself.
And I saw another beat reporter say, well, I thought the Titans were going to lose,
but this brings up fresh concerns.
Brian Callahan is a fresh concern.
Brian Callahan should have been the number one concern.
The number one concern all all season.
I said, spotlights on Brian Callahan.
He's the biggest X factor, microscope on Brian Callahan.
My background thing on YouTube with the rundown on the right hand side or whatever,
it literally said Callahan's big test.
Would Brian Callahan have this team ready to play?
Would Brian Callahan be able to correct some of the bad coaching that he had from last year?
The answer is a resounding no.
So it may be week one.
And I know all of you copers out there are going to say,
Tyler, it's just week one.
It's just week one.
No, it's not.
It's week 19.
It's week 19
for Brian Callahan.
This ain't new.
He ain't a rookie.
This is the same guy
that lost the Titans
multiple games last year.
And yeah, Will Levis is to blame.
But I'm looking at
Brian Callahan right now
and saying, well,
Will Levis sure looked
a hell of a lot better
with Mike Vrable.
So maybe
I'm not saying
Will Levis is good.
but maybe we'll let us look like such crap
because Brian Callahan is a first-class bozo.
Period.
So, I gotta stop sweating.
I gotta calm down.
I'm so angry.
I know you guys are too.
Let's take a deep breath
and let's talk about what was good in this game.
Tighten up, tighten down.
And Cam Ward, poor Cam Ward.
Poor Cam Ward.
The entire team.
Well, not the defense and special teams, maybe.
But on offense, whether it's coaching or the supporting cast,
the entire team let down Cam Ward.
And he played, don't let the people lie to you.
Cam Ward played great.

edition of the Locked on Titans podcast. I am your host Tyler Rowland we talked
about Brian Callahan absolutely sabotaging his team and I'm calling for some
sort of investigation we have to get some sort of some sort of organization
on the case here I mean I'm joking but like am I joking I don't know either
way it's time for tighten up tighten down we got to talk about the players who
actually played well and that starts with Cam Ward look the stats look
terrible.
112 passing yards.
Zero touchdowns.
12 for 28.
Sacked six times.
Had the turnover at the end,
which is nonsense. You know what I mean?
Like, it's nonsense.
But
did you see how Cam Ward
was dotting the ball?
Literally dotting the ball
to his wide receivers.
The perfect pass down the sideline.
Oh, I didn't even mention that in the Brian Callahan stuff.
Elyle Coyle Manor caught the football
and his elbow hit on the ground.
One elbow is two feet.
Brian Callahan didn't challenge.
Third and 18.
Cam Ward throws a dot down the sideline to Elicoio Manor
and Brian Callahan doesn't challenge the frickin' play.
And then the Titans punt.
Bozo.
Absolute bozo.
But again, what a throw by Cam Ward.
Cam Ward hits Calvin Ridley
How many times he got to throw the ball to Calvin Ridley
Before Calvin Ridley catches it
Calvin Really is your top five receiver
Cam, you better stop lying for these boys
If they aren't going to help you
Unbelievable
The amount of drops
That happened to Cam Ward today
Unbelievable
And then
You add in
Cam Ward sat six times
Six times
So look people are going to say what they want about cam you guys know how it's going to go the national media is going to say he didn't play well
But we know what really happened
We know what really happened and when we go through the tape tomorrow on the tic-tac titans film channel
We're gonna look at how well Pam played. He was composed. He was poised
He never say die. He would float away. He would make things happen
Remember that scramble that he had that got called back because Dan Moore holding.
Cam looked great in this game.
And this goes back to, remember my video where I said I have Cam Ward concerns.
Not concerns about Cam Ward, but concerns for Cam Ward.
Because I knew Brian Callahan's a bozo.
Dan Moore is not worth the money that they paid him.
The wide receiver group is not very good.
eye concerns for Cam Ward
and look what happened
the entire offense
let Cam Ward down
like
it's crazy
it's crazy man
the quarterback play improved
Cam Ward played almost a better game
today
than we saw almost all last year
and it's still
wasn't even close. They lost by eight. They weren't even close.
Because everything else on the offensive side of the ball was not good enough.
But Cam Ward was. That's the thing. I said right after the game,
the Titans need a wide receiver one, they need a new left tackle,
they need an edge rusher, and they need a new head coach. But you know what the Titans
don't need anymore? A quarterback, because we got one, folks. We got one in Cam Ward.
period
period
so I already know
what the narratives are going to be
I already know how people are going to talk
the dumbest person you know
is going to say that Cam Ward played bad in this game
he did not
do not listen
do not listen to that
period point blank no questions
now listen
Cam Ward wasn't the only person
Cam Ward was far from the only person
who had a good game
Jeffrey Simmons was insane in this game
Jeffrey Simmons was absolutely unstoppable
basically the entire game
he wrecked the Broncos offensive line
one of the best offensive lines in the NFL
he had four sacks he had four quarterback hits
he had a strip sack fumble
Jeffrey Simmons was absolutely incredible
worth every single cent
and I've been asking for that all all season
I have been saying
Big Jeff
Need you to look like you're worth the money
Big Jeff
Need you to get more than five and a half sacks
Big Jeff
Need you to make special plays
And be that all pro player
That you were in 2021 and 2022
That's exactly who we saw out there today
Exactly who we saw out there today
Not only that
But Roger McCreary
Awesome in this game
Awesome gets the interception
When did you see somebody getting a catch on Roger?
Maybe once, twice.
Great high point catch on Cortland Sutton
who's way bigger than him to get the interception.
Roger McCreary once again, awesome.
As always, solid and awesome.
Not only that, but Femiola Dejo.
Y'all wanted to write him off
as he developed in the preseason.
Do you see Femi out there?
Multiple pressures.
Multiple pressures, created multiple throwaways for Bo Nix.
Not only that, but did you see Femiola-Dazio coaching the defensive line?
I remember specifically the Broncos ran a run play to Femiola-Degio,
and he screamed at the defensive line and said, shift over.
Shift over.
And the D-line shifted over, and they ran right to it,
and they got a perfect stop with Femi at the heart of it.
Femiola Dejo played great in this game.
I mean, was he Miles Garrett?
Was he Trey Hendrickson? No.
But all of you guys said Femi's a bust.
What a terrible pick.
They should have picked Mike Green.
He played great in this game.
He wasn't the reason they lost.
He didn't kill him.
He got pressure.
He did his job.
Femiola Dejo did everything that you could have asked to him
for where he's supposed to be at in his development.
So I thought Femi was great.
Tavondres sweat makes the big time.
I'm so angry at Brian Callahan.
Tavondre Sweat.
Big time play.
Fourth down stop.
Gives the Titans the ball back at the freaking half-yard line with a chance to go tie it.
And I think that's when Brian Callahan went,
uh, run, sack, sack.
Like, I just...
Anyway, Big Jeff, Sebastian Joseph Day,
Tavondre Sweat, Femiola Dazio,
Roger McCreary
all played really good in this game.
Now, I want to go to special teams as well
because the Tennessee Titans special teams
was actually a major benefit most of the time.
Chim, D.K.
No wonder they cut James Prochet and went with D.K.
He had one punt return for 12 yards,
didn't drop the ball, good return, awesome.
He had four kickoff return.
for 144 yards, that's 36 yards per kickoff return with a 71 yarder.
And let's just say this, that 71 yard return saved Brian Callahan's butt after that disaster class of an end-to-half-time management.
If Jim D.K. doesn't run back that kick return right before halftime for 71 yards and give the Titans an extra field goal,
we're talking about 20 to 9, which is what it should have been.
So, Jim D.K. was incredibly impressive.
We got one, folks.
The way they used him as a gadget player on offense,
handed the ball off to him, the way he was able to return.
We got a returner in Chim D.K. now.
We got one.
So, there are some major positives coming out of this game.
The Titans players, the Titans roster, does look improved.
The Titans players and roster looked like,
hey, this team did get a little better over the all season,
which is what we wanted.
So, there are my tighten-ups.
If you guys felt I missed any tighten-ups,
let me know down below.
But now, we've got to talk about the Titan Downs.

Titans fans.
Let's continue today's edition of the Locked on Titans podcast,
breaking down the Tennessee Titans opening season loss to the Denver Broncos.
They lose 20 to 12.
It's time for tighten down
We talked about Brian Callahan's sabotage attempt
That was successful to start the show
We talked about the good stuff in the game
Don't tell me I'm all negative
I talked about all the players that I was impressed by in the game
But now we've got to do tighten down
And if you guys don't know
Tighten up is the winners
Tightened down my biggest losers
Obviously Brian Callahan is the number one
Titan down for me
But as I did earlier
I went through the list
The penalties, 13 for 131, basically the same amount of yards as the offense.
The turnover battle, the Titans won and still couldn't even come within seven points.
Third down run play across the 50.
Offense can't get lined up.
No wide receiver to catch the wide receiver screen.
No handoff, nobody getting it.
Bad red zone play calls once again.
Mismanagement on the one yard line before halftime.
vertical routes when you need eight yards late in the game
it was just an absolute disaster
so obviously Brian Callahan is my number one tighten down
number one no question about it
but when we talk about the players
Jarvis Brownlee Jr. was a disaster
and you know I gotta tell you guys
I really get sick of people defending Jarvis Brownley
and saying oh that was a bad call
oh that was a ticky tack call
Oh, that wasn't a pass interference.
Oh, the refs are out to get the Titans.
The refs are out to get the Titans.
Do you guys not see patterns?
Like, I know that seeing patterns is a critical thinking skill.
And quite frankly, my view of society is that a lot of people don't have critical thinking skills.
They can't identify patterns.
Like, do you not see that this happens every single week with Jarvis Brownlee Jr.?
Like at what point in time?
every single game you guys are like oh he's getting screwed those aren't penalties
well if every single week he's getting called for three or four penalties it's a pattern
it's not the refs these are different crews different wide receivers different environments
home in a way it doesn't matter jarvis brownie junior is getting stupid penalties
he did it against Tampa bay when he tried to suplex a guy and geoffrey simmons i'm not giving
jeffre simmons tighten down jeffrey simmons gets a major tighten up he was great in this game
It wasn't his fault they lost.
But the Titans did get a stop and what did Jeff do?
Another stupid personal foul penalty, which he's done a ton in the past.
At some point when this pattern develops and it shows you clearly,
Jarvis Brownlee Jr. is going to get multiple stupid penalties every single game.
At some point, you guys have to stop blaming the refs and look at the pattern.
It's him.
He isn't learning.
He isn't adjusting.
I don't care whether it's fair or it's not fair.
They are calling it every single game.
That's on you now.
You should know that it's going to be unfair.
You should adjust to that.
Jarvis Brownlee Jr. hurts this team way more than he helps this team
when it comes to the penalties.
There's just no more debate.
There's no more debate that can be had.
It's a pattern.
That's how I feel about Brian Callahan.
People say, oh, you're going to criticize every play call.
Once a pattern develops, you can't point to a single incident
and argue the single incident.
Yeah, that single incident may not be,
it's not Brian Callahan's fault that Kevin Zitler jumped all sides.
Well, actually,
maybe Kevin Zitler should have played in the preseason
and he would be more ready to go and not get a false start penalty.
And that is on Brian Callahan.
The coach who chose to not play Kevin Zeitler in the preseason.
Therefore, he is not ready and ready to go.
The buck stops with the coach.
But again, tighten down for Jarvis-friendly Jr.
And tighten down for Dan Moore.
I tried to warn you guys.
Tyler is so negative.
Why don't you just blow one.
Dan Moore is not worth $22 million.
The Titans need a left tackle still.
The Titans need a left tackle.
Dan Moore ain't the answer.
he got pantsed out there.
Penalties?
They set it on the broadcast.
Dan Moore had 24 penalties last year and 14 sacks.
He was one of the bottom five starting left pack was in the NFL.
And you could say, he had a good pass rush win rate.
Well, that's great.
I hope the pass rush win rate will block for Cam Ward
why Dan Moore is getting smoked.
So, give me a break.
on that and then Calvin Ridley
Calvin Ridley's a top 5 wide receiver
I appreciate it Cam
I appreciate it but Calvin Ridley
had more drops in this game
than he had catches
well I think he had three drops and he ended up with
four catches for 27 yards
but what a pathetic display
from Calvin Ridley
more than anything
some of them are tough catches
I'm not here to tell you that
you know especially some of the early ones
Tough catches.
But him dropping that post at the end,
the Titans would have had the ball at the 50 yard line.
Calvin might have caught that and ran to the freaking end zone.
Clean, easy, dropped it right to the ground.
Did you guys see Cam Ward's dad in the stands?
They showed him on the television broadcast.
If you didn't see it,
Cam Ward's dad is sitting in the stands
next to my guy Ben Arthur from Fox Sports, shout out Ben.
but after Calvin dropped that
Cam's dad literally stood up
walked into the aisle
and put his hands on his head and looked down at the ground
could not believe
what they were doing to his son
I mean
Calvin Ridley was a 1,000 yard receiver last year
Calvin Ridley is a good player
but
he's the opposite of clutch
he's the opposite of clutch
and I give credit
the Jaguars fans warned us.
They told us, he doesn't know where to line up,
he doesn't understand the playbook,
he's going to drop the ball all the time,
he's not going to be in the right place.
And so much crap happened last year in the game
in the season
that we couldn't hate on Calvin Ridley.
He went for a thousand yards.
So yeah, he dropped some passes,
but the rest of the team was a freaking disaster.
How am I going to talk bad about Calvin Ridley?
but he really let Cam Moore down out there tonight.
Really let him down.
No question.
Major tighten down for Calvin Ridley.
And I know that there are other players out there
that didn't play very well,
but I've got to get my last tighten down to James Williams.
Two, two special teams penalties from James Williams.
Two.
Like, how can you...
It's crazy.
It's just crazy.
man, this team, man, this
football team. I just don't
understand. I don't understand.
I never will.
Like, last year,
rookie quarterbacks never win.
Andrew Luck is the only
only rookie quarterback
in the last, like,
20 years
to win week one
until, or the number one
pick, to win week one.
Until Caleb Williams last year.
and guess who did it.
The Titans and Brian Callahan.
Like, historic things are happening
against Brian Callahan.
Week in and week out,
historic collapses,
historic issues,
monumental falloffs
under Brian Callahan's watch.
So,
in my opinion,
I think Mike Borgonzi
was texting eye emojis
and hearts to John Gruden during the game.
I don't think that Gruden is a great choice.
I don't think Gruden's going to be the next coach.
It's mostly just a joke, but is it?
Is it?
It's week one.
You could say it's an overreaction,
but again, this ain't week one for Brian Callahan.
It's week 19.
And how many games does this dude got a blow for this football team
before we all wake up and smell the roses?
He's not an NFL head coach.
Not yet.
he's going to go be a good offensive coordinator
and then maybe he'll get another opportunity
to be a head coach when he's older and he'll do better
but he ain't it right now
and I would not be shocked
and shout out my guy Justin Graver from Titan Film Room
who said this idea in my comments on Twitter
but I would not be shocked
if at some point during this season
Brian Callahan is fired
and Mike McCoy
who was brought on as a senior offensive assistant
who used to be a head coach in the NFL
is the interim head coach because there's no way that Chad Brinker Mike Borgonzi and
Amy Adam Strunk are looking at what Brian Callahan just did and saying oh this is the guy to
lead us into the future with Cam Ward and again you guys all want continuity
you want continuity with Cam Ward cam once continuity I get it but maybe some of you
are young maybe some of you found your high school sweetheart and you never had to
worry about it but if you have ever dated in your entire life as an adult you
know that staying with the wrong person for too long is just as bad as breaking up too soon.
And this guy is not, the Titans scored 12 points and Cam Ward played well.
I don't care what kind of continuity Brian Callahan is bringing to the table.
It's not the kind of continuity that I want.
So, I got to go take some blood pressure medicine.
I got to go take a shower.
I am disgusted, I'm disgraced, and I know that all you guys feel pretty similar to me.
