Locked On Titans - Daily Podcast On The Tennessee Titans - Cam Ward Must KEEP MOMENTUM GOING against Jacksonville Jaguars, Titans Trench Upset & Run Game Roots

Episode Date: November 26, 2025

The Tennessee Titans face the Jacksonville Jaguars for the first time in 2025 and it comes at a time when the Titans aren't winning games, but are playing their most competitive football of the year. Led by Cam Ward, who has had back-to-back good games against tough competition. Ward will need to keep that going in Week 13 if the Titans hope to finally get their second win of the season. However, the game will likely be won in the trenches where Jacksonville's lines have actually taken the step forward the Titans hoped theirs would this year. Especially with Jacksonville being more aggressive on the defensive side of the ball with a talented pass rush. Finally, the truth is the run game mismatch in this one will likely be the big difference unless the Titans have one of their better performances in recent memory defending the ground attack.

But thank you for making locked on Titans, locked on Jags. Your first listen each and every day. making the locked on podcast network the number one sports podcast network tony i say you know i say we're the ugly cousins of the afc south i gotta be clear i ain't talking about us yeah i mean we're out here killing it look at the hair you got the beard on lock we've been we've been

bowling in in that regard these teams though these teams have been the ugly cousins that no matter what kind of job you got you got the new house the new car you moved to the city it doesn't matter when these two teams get together we're ugly cousins wrestling in the mud and I know Jacksonville's had a good season and you tell us why it's been such a good season but you know like I know these teams just make each

other ugly. No, they do and we don't give each other any credit either. So the thing is, you can lose 40 pounds. You know what I'm going to say? I ain't going to tell you how good you look. I'm going to say I'm glad you lost weight because you used to be so fat and sloppy. That's the kind of stuff that we do around here, man.

But anybody taking likely i saw what y'all been doing the last couple of weeks with these good teams that y'all been playing and they barely been getting away and you know what that's right in our wheelhouse because we've been barely getting away from some people too but you know that's why i think you know you can't ever ever discount these two teams in this game i remember a few years back i believe it was 2023 you guys came in here and had a lead and it looked like we needed a miracle and we got one and then i remember the year before that we were we were there we got beat jurel casey and malick jackson arguing at each other, and then we went on a run

to go through the playoffs in 2017 and almost went to the Super Bowl. So any and everything can happen when these two teams get together. 100%. The end of 2023, when I wanted the Titans to get a better draft pick, you know, and they found a way to beat Jacksonville. Just, you know, these teams, no matter who's good,

who's bad, if the Titans are good, the Jags are bad, vice versa. These teams are always going to always going to play tight, it seems. But Jacksonville has kind of been turning things around. And honestly, Tony, on my show locked on NFL, my version, I've been kind of pushing, hey, I think Jacksonville can get back in and win this division. I know things have been up and down. You have the loss to the Texans

where they came back, barely beat the Raiders, barely beat the Cardinals. I know, but that's mixed in with a 35 to 6 trouncing of the Chargers who are a really good team. Who the heck are these Jacksonville Jaguars? That's who they are. You just said it. That's who they are right there, Without a doubt, and that's who some of their players are. Trevor Lawrence is that way. I mean, he'll look like John L.A. one minute and Trent Dill for the next. It just happens like that, but it's a team that's learning how to win. And I always say, and I've been saying this, they're very, very close to being nine and two.

They got cheated in Cincinnati, and then they lost a 19-point lead in the four quarter against Houston. But all they needed to do on, like, three different occasions is make one first down in Houston. runs out of time. And so this is a, it's just who they are. They're learning how to win. I'm glad they're seven and four and we're scratching our head as opposed to being four and seven. I said they could be nine and two.

They could very well also sit here and be four and seven because they won some games. They had no business winning. And like last week against the Cardinals, they should have lost. The way the NFL formula goes, they everything went against them. And they should have lost that game. But you have to learn. how to win and put that in your DNA. They only got blown out once,

and that was against the Rams, okay? And then the other game where- Best team in the league. Right. And then the other game that they lost where they clearly weren't the better team that day was against Seattle, maybe the second or third best team in the league.

Right. But they did manage to beat Kansas City. They managed to beat L.A., the Chargers. And those two games have significance because at the very least, they're fighting for a wild card. right yes if they end up in a tie with those two teams unless it's some weird funky three team tiebreaker they beat them both head to head so the jaguars have those tiebreaker scenarios against those two teams

and those two teams still have to play each other so um we're not sitting here trying to back in we're not looking in the rear view mirror the thing i like about liam coen and this crew it is all gas no breaks they have the pedal to the floor they're aggressive and they're just going to keep fighting and scrapping. Now, mind you, they're doing this with very limited output this year from Brian Thomas, Jr., he's banged up. Before he got, I can't believe that. He wasn't even there with almost nothing except one really, really good game from Travis Hunter. He's on IR for the rest of the year. Not a real serious injury. He'll be fine in six months. Trayvon Walker has been in and out of the lineup. Jordan Lewis, their prize nickel signing and free agency has been out the last

three or four weeks. Eric Murray has been out the last three or four week. So they're really doing this thing without getting production from some guys who will actually come back this year. And sometimes it's good for the dudes to sit around and watch and they see what guys can do without them. And then they say, okay, now I trust them. So we'll see if that's the way it plays out, but we ain't going to put the cart before the horse. They got a real tough game this week against the scrappy Tennessee Titans and that young quarterback. Well, I'm telling you, that leads perfectly into what I think the big storyline for the Titans is here. The vibes with the Titans is they've been playing better football.

I mean, they really have two one score wins and look, the bar is low. The first half of the season, Tony, that is the worst Tennessee Titans team I've ever seen in 25 years, 26 years of luck in the team. I've never seen them be as bad as they were the first half of this season. But credit where it's due, you come out, you play real tight with the Houston Texans who are a good football team, the best defense in the NFL. come back against, like we just said, I think Seattle's a top two, top three team

in the NFL, and listen, that game wasn't as close as the score looks. The Titans scored two touchdowns late to make it look closer than it was. But the fact that they could even score two touchdowns late on offense, like the Titans don't do that very often. So that's led by Cam Ward, who is really, I wouldn't say he's breaking out in the sense

of he's turning into a superstar or something, but I think he's breaking out into the next version of himself. Like the first, you know, half of the season, he's a rookie and he looked like a rookie. The team sucked, but he wasn't playing his best either. He had little flashes. But these last two games, he's put it together, 65% completion percentage or better. He's been top 10 in QBR both weeks. Like, he's really starting to, despite, you want to talk about bad circumstances, you know, average Jacksonville Jaguars fan, name a wide receiver the Titans are using right now.

Well, I guess down in Florida, they know about Chim D.K. Probably him having a good season. We'll get there. But yeah, I think the big story is, can the Titans keep playing better football? Can Cam Ward keep looking like this rather than how he looked in the first half of the season, which for a rookie is to be expected that they would get better?

But I agree with you and kind of I've been setting it up. I'm scared about this game because the Titans really need that number one pick so they can trade back and get a bunch of picks and kind of do this rebuild right. But Trevor Lawrence does just enough in this. turnover realm where he'd give the ball away. The Titans have a little bit of momentum and this being a divisional matchup like we talked about. These two teams always play

close. It does have me a little worried but with that being said we got to talk about the matchups that will determine this game and no shock to anybody.

Locked on Titans, Locked on Jags. Thank you for making us your first listen and thank you for making the Locked on Podcast Network, the number one sports podcast network. We talked about the storylines for these teams, kind of the vibes around the teams coming into this game. But now we need to talk about the trench battle. The matchups that I really want to dive into

because Tony, I think one of the things that people may be surprised to hear is that this Jacksonville Jaguars offensive line has been a good unit this year. And I think where we think about Trevor Lawrence all the time, when we talk about the Jags, that's kind of the focal point. That run game is what I'm really worried about. And the Titans have been better against the run here in recent week. Seattle was tough, but, you know, they have a real good run game and good backs.

But I would say that Jacksonville's run game is even better than that. Can you talk a little about the offensive lines performance and how that run game has been deadly this year? Yeah, they fight. They fight really, really hard. They had a couple of tough games. One of them was against Seattle that you mentioned. And it's just that they just could not move those dudes out of the way.

And I didn't even talk to Corbyn that week, and Corbyn said that they had a little trepidation about their line, even though statistically they hadn't given up a whole bunch at that point early in the year. Statistically, they were really good, but they had had some dudes that had not been playing. And so when they got them all back, it all came together against Jacksonville. It seems like it's still coming together for them. It's still going, yeah. Leon Searcy, former Jack Great, told me in training camp, I just want to stale me. Our offensive line was terrible. It's like the way you hear people in Arizona talk about their line.

That's how we talked about the Jaguars line for the last three or four years. So we got a stalemate. They went out and got Pat McCarrie and they got Robert Haney. They got professionals, guys that are just pros that understand Chumee Doga, who's probably going to be out this week. They went and got a lot of people. They have Anton Harrison and Walker Little, Walker, Little Leaves a little bit to be desired sometime. A little to be desired.

But he can run block. And Ezra Cleveland might be the best of all. all of them. So they've had to move around a little bit because guys got nicked up. They're now getting healthy and had some issues with their protection last week on some blitzes. And then in the second half went to slide protection. But they're a team that wants to break the huddle and they want you to see him coming. And Travis E.T.N. He is everything. He is finally looking like the dude that came out of Clemson because this is the ultimate what is around the player has affected the way people feel about that player he didn't even he's actually playing on his

fifth year option but then you get based off to a day three pick uh who can really put him one in front of the other he's the fastest running back to the combine so you get both of these dude but they're different whereas et n is a little shifty toot named shifting he's a fire hydrant he's trying to run you over and pop right so he's get real get to the hole real quick and then lequint out on the day three pick is very very good in pass protection. And he's the quintessential third downback. So they've had a nice little mix,

mixing in and blending in the things that Liam Cohen did with Bucky Irving and his other running back, Rashad White down in Tampa. Sometimes you see two halfbacks in the game at the same time. But they really want to grind and pound the ball and make sure that whenever they need to run the ball, they can run it. You always want to run when you want to and when you need to.

and for the most part, at about a 75, 80% clip, they've been able to do that. Well, people have been able to do that against the Titans all year long, but it has been, again, like I was saying, a little more difficult with Jeffrey Simmons back in the lineup to Vondre sweat next to him. I think that's going to be key. If the Titans have any chance to win these games down the stretch,

it's got to be the Titans interior defensive line. And I would add Sebastian Joseph Day in there, who, like you said about Robert Hainzie and Patrick McCarrey, like, he is just a true professional. Justin Joseph Day is just another guy. You know what I mean? Like he's just another depth player. He's not going to be somebody that people know.

But he is such a great role player on the D-line to get penetration and hold his gap. And he's not perfect. He's not, you know, an all-pro, pro-bowl level player and he never will be. He's making $5 million a year and probably will until he decides to retire. But those three guys up front can really stall out an offensive line. And with Cody Barton playing real slow at linebacker and look in his age, they got to keep him clean for him to move around. Cedric Gray, the Titan's second year linebacker, has been excellent this year.

He's a firecracker as well, going to fly around and hit people. But that Titans' defensive line against the run game and the run blocking of Jacksonville's offensive line. That's something that I'm really looking for as a matchup. Is there anything in particular that you have your eye on the other way around? Yeah. So to piggyback off what you just said, there have been times this year where even Liam is kind of hinted at it. He didn't really say it. Seattle was one game where

Seattle was missing three-fourths of their secondary. So the Jaguars went into the game thinking they were going to throw the ball. Yep. Well, the front seven had something to say about that, right? And then they got behind and they got off rhythm and they wanted to make sure that they played to their

strengths as opposed to being overly focused on the weaknesses of their opponent. You can't lose who you are. For this week, I think it lines up. They want to run. Y'all struggle against the run. So now there's no reason to abandon the things that you want to do. But this team also wants to get Trevor Lawrence opportunities to throw the ball down the field.

Everybody keeps saying take a little bit off his play. No, we ain't taking nothing off his play. What are you talking about? Doug Peterson actually said that same thing one time in the press conference. He said, what do you mean take things off his plate? He's the quarterback. They're putting more on him because they see where they can go. And he has the talent to get them to where they can go.

He also has a little bit of Jay Cutler in him where he'll forget who he's, is and turned into Jay Cutler, James Winston in a heartbeat, and things tend to start compounding. My matchup for him is to be able to be able to get over those bad plays. And he's done that the last couple of weeks. He had to do it a whole bunch in Arizona because he made like three or four bad plays. But he has to be able to get past those bad plays and not allow them to start snowballing and steamboating. So from that perspective, I really do think that they still want to throw the ball. They still want to be aggressive with Trevor because that's just who they are. But I think they're going to do a heavy dose of running the football, have limited possessions,

make sure they put pressure on the rookie. Anthony Campanile, a lot of blitz packages, a lot of different things that they're doing, sending guys up the A-Gap, sending guys off the short, shallow when they're in the slot. I really do believe that they're going to try to confuse and put pressure on this rookie to make them make really, really hard throws. And to me, those are the two things. How much do they unleash Trevor, and then how much do they attack Cam Ward because of the perceived weakness of him being young, and he hasn't seen everything yet. Well, finishing the Trevor Lawrence point, the Titans got attacked last week by the downfield passing game of the Seattle Seahawks. They were able to hit some passes down the field to Jackson Smith and Jigba getting him one-on-one

against the Titan's safeties. And I think that's something that Jacksonville will probably look to do too, probably off of the play-action pass game, if they are running the ball very well, get those safeties linebackers leaking up, hit over top of them. I think that'll certainly, there will be some shot plays. But moving to the defensive side of the ball,

I did want to ask you about that because the Tennessee Titans' offensive line seems like it should be better than it has been based on the talent and the resources that they've used there. They've had some good games. Look, having a rookie quarterback and wide receivers who don't separate very well doesn't help the offensive line either because quarterback can hold the ball a little too much.

Guys aren't as open as they typically are, but the Titans' offensive line has certainly had their individual struggles where it's just on them. And now Dan Moore, Titans starting left tackle, he's not been a very good starting left tackle, but he's their starter. He might be out in this game with a knee injury. He left early and didn't come back. J.C. Latham on the right-hand side has struggled this year. He's been very up and down. And on the interior, Lloyd Cushingberry and Kevin Zitler at center and right guard, respectively, they've had their individual struggles based on certain matchups.

Peter Skoronsky has been awesome, and he's always awesome against Jacksonville. I don't know why, but he just has his way with Jacksonville's front. But now you're talking about an Uber aggressive front, bringing blitzes from different places. I know Josh Heinz Allen has had a lot of pressures and maybe the sack numbers haven't looked there and Walker's been in and out of the lineup. How has Jacksonville been able to get that pressure when you're talking about Blitzin and the A guy? Who are the guys who are bringing that pressure then? They've been using Devin Lloyd in that role once he came back.

He missed three or four weeks. He's the player, the NFL defensive player of the month, the first month of the season. But then they got Dennis Gardak. Gardak, he gives him a little bit of a different gait when it comes to how he moves. He's a little dude. He's 6-2, 230 pounds, but he has this knack and he's super, super fast, and he gets to the backfield really, really fast. Like you say, Josh Allen has been good. Eric Armstead, from an interior standpoint, has been a real, real good Russia.

And when they did have Trayvon, he hasn't necessarily been ruled out this week. He was having the best season of his career, which that's a lot because he's had every year he's been in the league, regardless of how good Aidan Hutchinson is or whatever, Trayvon Walker has lived up to be in the number one overall pick. And he has had a very, very good season coming off of two consecutive 10 sack seasons. But it's just that for some reason with the flow of the game, they went through a stretch where they weren't getting pressure. They also have another two undrafted free agents, Danny Striga, as well as B.J. Green.

When they've had to call their number over the last couple of weeks, those guys have really, really stepped up. So I don't think that edge rush, because when you got two, one that you're already paying, one that you're going to have to pay real soon because you picked up the fifth year option and you're going to give them a contract extension. It's like, where do you go? You use another first round pick? Nope. They don't have one of those anyway next day. Right. You're going to get Tray Henderson, $25 million and have them rotating?

Nope. You have to develop people. And that's what they've done with these two guys. So that's been a big, big deal for them. They've also had some inopportune penalties when it comes to hitting the quarterback. And they've gotten called for driving the quarterback in the ground. And one of them, the dude didn't even land on the quarterback. Yeah, it's insane.

The inopportune areas in that respect has kept teams on the field a little bit too long. But they're better. They're a lot better. It just in a couple of games it hasn't shown. on up. One of the biggest things, and I'll segue this to segment three, they can't play down to the competition. They've been doing that, and they have to realize it's me versus me. Your competition is your standard, and they have to play to their standard every single week, and they're learning how to do it. Well, I think that's what the Titans are hoping for,

drag them down in the mud, let them play our game, not their game, and it'll give us an opportunity to win. I've got to tell you, folks, I'm terrified to say it, but I think the Titans got a chance to win this game. We're going to talk about the keys to victory in this one. What's going to decide it? And I'm going to tell you what I think happens. And Tony will tell me why I'm wrong, which I hope that I am wrong about this one.

All right, let's cap off today's crossover Thursday edition of Locked on Titans, locked on Jags. Again, I'm Tyler Rowling from Locked on Titans. Tony Wiggins from Locked on Jacks. Thanks for making us your first listen each. every day and thanks for making the locked on podcast network the number one sports podcast network but we've talked about the storylines for these teams we've talked about the individual matchups we think we'll decide this and at the end of the day here tony i'm looking at what the keys to victory are

for the titans and i want to say as i say every week please run the ball find a way to run the ball but i think the reality here is the titans simply cannot run the football they can't do it So what they're going to need is they're going to need a combination of two things. They're going to need explosive plays in the passing game. They're going to need to just hit some big shots down the field. The pressure gets on. Cam Ward's going to have to put his cape on. That's the only thing good about the Titans' offense right now is when Cam Ward throws the cape on, does something magical and gives the Titans a chance.

He's going to have to do that. That's all we're hoping for here because we know that the Titans can't run the football. So I'm just going to say Cam Ward magic. Like, you said some weird stuff's happen to Jacksonville's defense. I need more weird. I need a DB falls down. Two Jacksonville defenders run into each other and leave a guy wide open for a touchdown.

I need, you know, a guy has a Cam Ward dead to rights in the backfield and he shakes him off, runs out, and throws it 20 yards downfield on a critical third and long. Like, that's the type of stuff that I need to happen. I need the Titans quarterback to be awesome, and I need the Jacksonville Jaguar's quarterback to be bad. because one thing we know about Trevor Lawrence is he will turn over the ball.

He will. He's had the majority of his interceptions this year have come when they're leading the game. So like whether they're coming from behind, whether they're leading, he just... Trevor is so confusing to me because he's got so much talent. And I've always liked Trevor Lawrence.

I've been a defender of Trevor Lawrence. Like, I believe in his talent. But he just makes some bad decisions sometimes. It's just confusing to me. he's capable of it at any turn. So the reality is the Titans need their quarterback to be awesome and they need Trevor to mess up some. That's the only hope that the Titans have to win this game.

But sadly, I'm here to report. I think that that that might happen. And it will cost the Titans dearly if they win this game. But I think it's going to be really close. Well, look, most of the Jaguars games are close. And so some of those things that you hope to happen, like you have a quarterback dead to right and you're missing and any throws the ball, that's.

actually happened with Jacoby Brissette last week and getting a busted play where you have two safeties and they get split wide open and some backup wide receiver I never heard of in my life runs a slant and goes for 50. That happened last week too. So here's the thing. You guys struggle on the offensive line, right? So does the Bengals. The Jaguars lost to the Bengals. They were winning the game when Joe Burrow got hurt. They were the team that actually hurt Joe Burrow. He hurt his toe in the Jaguars game, and the Jaguars were actually winning. Jake Browning comes in. Guess what?

They lost. Jake Browning has beaten them before. The Jaguars lost to Davis Mills. When they gave up those 19 points in the fourth quarter, that's who it was too. They played Jacobi Berset, had the lead, ended up in overtime, and the game ended with Arizona in the red zone. If they had to scored a touchdown, they would probably gone for two because they ain't got nothing to lose.

they also played against the Raiders every single team i just mentioned as a terrible offensive line and the Raiders were on the 10 yard line on fourth and goal and devon hamilton dropped back into coverage and knocked the ball down and the wide receiver was by himself from the back open so my thing is is everything that ails you guys oh we've seen it before and came in and just did not play well but here's the thing about it we didn't lose all those games they beat Vegas. They beat Arizona. And the thing about these cats, they will find a way, man, to scratch and claw themselves back into a game. Trevor Lawrence had three interceptions and one fumble that was kind of like an interception because it never hit the ground. That was return for

a pick six. At the end of the Houston game, had another one, fumble, returned for a pick six. That was the margin of victory that made that game look so bad. So you're going to get the full Jacksonville. Jaguars experience now. I just hope they just get on a plane in Nashville. What's the name of the airport? What's the initials is BNA, right? BNA. Yeah, that's right. That's right.

I hope they be in there, A, on that plane, eight and four. That's what I hope that happens at the end of this game is what's happened all year. Like I say, find out who you are and play to that standard each and every week, and I think they'll be fine. Yeah, I think if the thing is the path that you just laid out there, if Jacksonville plays down to Tennessee and doesn't take advantage of some areas of opportunity that they have and the game is close late,

that opens the opportunity for a special Cam Ward play to change things or a bad Trevor Lawrence play to change things. But if Jacksonville commits to running the football in this game, I don't think the Titans are going to be able to stop them from running the football consistently all game long. So the run game, the turnovers,

Cam Ward being special. That's really what the keys to victory are for the Titans and obviously Jacksonville needs to run the football, get pressure on Cam, play the way that you're capable of playing, don't play down to the competition. It's that simple. Tony, I did want to throw this on you

and just get your take on this, something that I've been talking about on Locked on NFL. I had Jacksonville winning this division before the year, and I think that they're in a great position to continue to do that. The Colts play Houston, who's playing really good football right now.

They go to Jacksonville, which we know the Colts have always had historic struggles with Jacksonville and Jacksonville. Then they've got to go on the, road at Seattle against San Francisco in prime time on Monday night football. Then short week, they play Jacksonville again and they finish with Houston who will be fighting for their lives. Am I crazy to think that the Colts could lose four of their last six games and Jacksonville

could catch them? They could not make the playoffs. We're only one game behind. So we can control that with two games left. And we split with Houston. The key for us, we got to beat the Titans both times. And then I do believe that there's a chance that the coach won't even make the playoffs

because I actually picked the coach to finish dead last because I didn't trust their quarterback situation. I picked the Titans to finish third, man. And you pick the Jaguars to finish first. As much as it pains me to say this, you're probably going to end up being more right than I am. But you're right for Indy, man. It all comes down to it.

Tyler, I've never, ever, ever seen a. conference have this many teams bottlenecked up that all have to play a tough schedule and uh i'm thinking the magic number for jacksonville is to get to 11 they got six games to go go four and two they still got Denver that's a very very tough game uh but man if they get hot and they can win at least four of these games i think they're going to win the division and then the colts and and the titan of the texas will probably be playing to see who goes to the players One team goes to playoffs. The other team goes on.

I think four and two makes a ton of sense. The problem is where that other loss comes because at Denver is going to be a tough game. I think that's going to be a tough game for sure. I can see them losing that. But they play the Titans twice. They play the Jets. You shouldn't lose any of those games.

And then two games against the Colts need to sweep those. I mean, Jacksonville, they got a chance. They got that's all they got to say. Need I say 12 and 5? I'm just saying they always had the, and let me use this as a beacon of hope to Titans fans. Jacksonville last year, terrible, right? Top 5 pit, what they were 4 and 13 last year.

You have a team with some talent. You get the right head coach in there to kind of do things differently, and your team could be much more competitive right away. So just keep that in your cap. I had faith, I thought Jacksonville's rostered out some talent, and they just needed a better coach. And honestly, I think it's played out exactly like that. They did.

And if you had told you, they'd be 7-4 with a minimum impact because of injury, the Brian Thomas Jr., Trayvon Walker, and Travis Hunter, you'd be like, and I mentioned, George Lewis, you'd be like, man, you're crazy. So that's why this is all crazy. But Liam Cohen is the real deal. Speaking of coaching, now I've got to be petty. How about that dude in New England? My bad, dog.

I told you. Oh, man, man. It's supposed to be Thanksgiving. We're breaking bread. You sense of community And then we got to do that Listen, couldn't end it any other way A little friendly banter there
