You are Locked On Titans, your daily Tennessee Titans podcast.

Welcome to the Locked On Titans podcast.
I am your host, Tyler Rowland.
Titans fans, this Monday edition of the Locked On Titans podcast is presented by Built Bar.

We do not have a game to break down and recap today
as the Tennessee Titans, of course, played last Thursday night.
So it's a good opportunity to let you guys steer the show.
I opened up the mailbag for today's show, asked you guys on Twitter over the
weekend at Tic Tac Titans to send me in some of your guys' questions. We don't have a lot of time
to do a mailbag during the season as we do in the offseason, so it's a good opportunity to let you
guys steer the show. So that resulted in a mailbag, and a lot of you guys asked me in that mailbag
what the playoff picture looks like now halfway through the season for the Titans.
So we are going to start off this fan-driven, this fan-made Monday taking a look at the
playoff picture as it currently sits after another weekend of football and the Titans
are in a precarious situation and need to stack up some
W's going forward. So we'll chart out where everyone sits right now in the AFC and then we
will jump into that mailbag and answer some of those other questions that you guys had for me.
Everything from Titans related stuff to the NFL to music to movies, everything in between. And then we will cap off this Fan Made Monday
taking a look at some of the reviews that you guys have put in.
I say all the time, if you give me a review on iTunes,
especially those five-star reviews,
I'll make sure to read that review and shout you guys out on the podcast.
And we're so busy during the season,
so it feels like a good opportunity to fulfill that promise to you guys and everybody who took the time to give us a review.
But going forward throughout the week, we have some excellent content coming up as well.
Tomorrow, of course, will be Tic Tac Tuesday with our Tic Tac 4-pack, taking a look at the four most impactful plays from the game against the Colts.
Wednesday will be Rewatch Wednesday, taking a look at all of my additional analysis from rewatch against the Colts. Wednesday will be re-watch Wednesday, taking a look at all
of my additional analysis from re-watching the coaches tape, and I've had way more opportunities
than I normally would, so a lot of good information coming on Wednesday there. Thursday will be our
crossover Thursday conversation with Kevin Ostriker from Locked on Raven, so you won't want to miss
the beginning of this week's preparation for that crucial game coming up for the Titans on Friday.
Of course, a game preview football Friday, giving you the keys to the game,
players to watch, fantasy, injuries, gambling, and much more.
So make sure that you subscribe to the Locked on Titans podcast
on whatever platform you do stream.
But it is a fan-made Monday.
You guys are driving the show.
Going to take a look at the playoff picture as it sits right now in the AFC.
Answer some questions from you guys in the mailbag
and then shout you guys out in those reviews that you have dropped on Apple iTunes.
Let's get it! Things can change very quickly in the NFL as the Tennessee Titans have learned not only over the last month,
but in the course of the last three days.
The Titans started this weekend of football on Thursday night with
the lead in the AFC South set to have a home playoff game. They leave the weekend tied for
the last wild card spot in the conference with two other teams. So a precipitous drop for the
Titans in the standings over the weekend of football in the AFC.
Let's take a look at where they sit right now and the upcoming schedule of the teams to watch in the conference for the Titans.
Well, the Titans, first off, are the number one team that we need to watch here.
They sit at 6-3, have a critical game coming up in Baltimore against the Ravens next week.
And then they will have a rematch against the Colts, which will likely be the most important game of their season and will be in Indianapolis.
Then there is a game at home against the Cleveland Browns, who are a team to watch as one of the top wildcard contenders in the AFC.
Then a game at Jacksonville against the lowly Jacksonville Jaguars.
Then a game at home against the Detroit Lions that the Titans will need to win.
Then a difficult game on the road in week 16 at the Green Bay Packers.
Finishing off the year at Houston as well. So although Houston is having a down year,
that will be a difficult match against a division rival. So a very difficult road for the Titans to
finish out the season and they will have three of their primary competitors, four playoff positions
ahead of them in the next three weeks. Now the Titans have a 4-3 conference record.
They are 2-1 in the division.
Those are important things to watch going forward as they are critical tiebreakers for
playoff positioning.
Then the Indianapolis Colts, so they play the Green Bay Packers next.
The Titans have to hope that they lose that game.
Then the rematch against Tennessee.
Then at Houston, at the Las Vegas Raiders who are a
playoff contender right now at home against the Houston Texans in Pittsburgh against the Steelers
which is a game the Titans are hoping the Colts will lose and then finishing the year at home
against Jacksonville that's a likely win for the Colts then the Titans next opponent the Baltimore
Ravens who also sit at six and three after a loss on Sunday night football to the New England Patriots, 23-17.
Of course, the matchup against Tennessee this week.
Then at Pittsburgh, that's a tough game.
Then at home for the Dallas Cowboys, that's a likely win.
On the road against the Browns, that'll be a tough matchup.
At home for the Jaguars, that should not be difficult. At home for the Giants, that'll be a tough matchup. At home for the Jaguars, that should not be difficult.
At home for the Giants, that should be easy.
And then on the road at Cincinnati.
So an easy end of the schedule for Baltimore.
Looks like they have a great shot to make the playoffs.
The Cleveland Browns, the other AFC North contender.
They play Philadelphia at home next week.
Then on the road for Jacksonville.
Then a trip to Nashville against the Titans.
Then at home for the Ravens.
On the road for the Giants.
At home versus the Jets.
Finishing off the season with Pittsburgh at home.
There's some tough games and some easy games mixed in there for the Browns.
The Oakland Raiders sit at 6-3 after a 37-12 victory over the Denver Broncos.
They play Kansas City at home next.
On the road to Atlanta
on the road to the Jets at home for the Colts at home for the Chargers at home for the Dolphins
and on the road for the Broncos. The Raiders have a great shot to make the playoffs and then the
Miami Dolphins who are also six and three after a 29 to 21 victory over the Chargers. They are at
the Broncos at the J, home for the Bengals.
That looks like three wins for the Dolphins.
Then home for Kansas City, home for New England,
at the Raiders and at Buffalo to finish the season.
That's a tough last four games for the Dolphins.
Looking up at the top of the conference,
Pittsburgh remains undefeated 9-0 with a 36-10 victory over the Bengals.
Kansas City sits at 8-1 looking good on the season.
And Buffalo sits at 7-3 looking to take the AFC East.
Which brings us to the wild card and the primary tiebreaker is your conference record.
So that means that the number one wild card team is the Oakland Raiders who have a 4-2 conference record. So that means that the number one wildcard team is the Oakland Raiders who have a four and
two conference record. Then the Miami Dolphins who have a three and two conference record. Then a
three-way tie between the Browns, Ravens, and Titans who all have a four and three conference
record. So just to make sure you're paying attention, the Titans have four straight AFC
games ahead on their schedule. So the next four games will likely decide the Tennessee Titans season as all of the
important tiebreakers will be decided in the next few weeks.
So something big ahead for the Titans, whether they realize it or not.
Most of their destiny will be decided in the next month of games.
But with that in mind, let's continue this fan-made Monday and jump into a Monday mailbag.
Let's open up the mailbag and answer some of your guys' questions. And we are going to start out with a question from Chad Haynes.
And he asked, on a scale of 1 to 10, how concerned are you?
And I guess it depends on what the question is.
Concerned about what?
Concerned about the Titans winning a Super Bowl?
I'd say I'm probably at an 8 out of 10.
I'm starting to get concerned if the Titans have that ability with what they have on the roster
and what they have on the coaching staff.
Concerned that the Titans can make the playoffs?
I would still be at, you know, a 3 out of 10 on something like that.
I don't see this team dropping out of the playoffs, but it is a
possibility, which obviously we talked about in the last segment to start off our show. So I would
say a three out of 10 in terms of the playoff scenario. I would say an eight out of 10 in terms
of whether or not it's going to be a Super Bowl season for the Titans. The next question comes
from Tony209TN on Twitter. He said,
how in the hell do you stay so positive during all the episodes? Gotta give you props, man. Well,
I think that a lot of the times the answer is going to be not too far down or too far up. It's
always going to be in the middle. Things aren't as bleak as they seem or as great as they seem.
The NFL is a long long
season and as we saw just last year things can change pretty rapidly and a team can go on a run
pretty quickly so that's how I tend to stay positive I would tell you though my initial
thoughts are not always so positive takes me a second to calm down from all the hot takes going
through my mind right after games and sometimes. Next question is from Tim Bass.
He says, now that the defense is playing better,
why is the offense losing a step?
How can we get back on track?
Well, I've talked a little bit about it.
I'm going to go over it more in our rewatch Wednesday,
some of the schematic stuff that I'm noticing now
for the last month worth of games.
But it's a combination of Ryan Tannehill being a little inaccurate and he's
probably having the pressure get to him losing Taylor LeJuan has caused that pressure to go up
so maybe Tannehill feels a little bit less comfortable the Titans also lost Adam Humphreys
who is one of their better guys at getting open quickly against man coverage Titans don't have a
lot of guys who are great at beating man coverage so teams are playing man
they're bringing pressure and Ryan Tannehill is not as accurate as he was you know at the beginning
of the season so a combination of a bunch of factors can they get it back on track yes but
the offense is fundamentally changed without Taylor LeJuan out there so gonna be very interesting if
Ty Sambrillo can find a way to just step up his play
but I don't see some of the problems they have on offense I don't really see how they can change
that drastically going forward so I'm sure that's not the most optimistic answer but I don't think
that that means the Titans can't win a bunch of games and still go to the playoffs uh going
forward adioso baboso uh what's your favorite spicy sauce?
Any kind of spicy garlic sauce, wing sauce, or Chinese food, anything.
Spicy garlic is my favorite spicy sauce for sure.
What's the main reason for the defensive shortcomings in 2020?
Players' poor execution, coaches being let go in the offseason,
poor coaching by the new coaches, all of the above.
Of course the answer is all of the above.
Of course, the answer is all of the above.
He wants me to specify percentages.
I don't know if I can go as far as to specify percentages, but I can say guys like Jayon Brown, guys like Rashawn Evans, guys like Kevin Byard have not been playing their best,
but also some of the technique things I'm noticing that I'm going to talk about
on Wednesday and Tuesday, those things are confusing me as well with the way that bodies
are being turned, the way guys are being asked to play this close to the line of scrimmage,
off the line of scrimmage. Some of those things are starting to make me question the coaches as
well. So they definitely get their part of the blame. And it does bring us back, you know, to some of the moves in the offseason, some of the
questions that we have.
I'm going to get more into that later on in the season, of course.
So all of the above is the answer, and the percentages could vary a little bit here and
there.
Matt Dickerson asked me, how did you become a Titans fan?
And this is something that I have talked about but gotten a
lot of new listeners to the show this year and recently so it feels like a good thing to talk
about so I am from Ohio but I was a big Buckeyes fan most of my life and Eddie George I always
wanted to be a running back running back was more of a glamour position back when I grew up watching
football loved Eddie George and he was on the Titans I never liked the Bengals or the Browns. Most of my family was
Packer fans, which I don't hate the Packers. I tend to root for them on the NFC side just because
I want my family to be happy, and a lot of my football roots came from there. But the Titans
moved to Tennessee. Eddie George was kind of their star player along with Steve McNair. I saw that run to the Super Bowl that season with their jerseys.
I thought they were awesome.
And I was a little kid, and, you know, just kind of it captured me.
And here, you know, 22 years later, I am still stuck with this team
and will be for life at this point.
So that's my story.
Eddie George and the New jersey's the the city
move uh just captured me as a young young kid anyways and plus i wanted the titans to win that
super bowl so bad i argued with all my friends i'll never forget it even though i was like
eight years old so uh can't forget some of that stuff and it's a lifelong bond that uh i'm sure
a lot of you guys understand very well and matt it looks like you got a kid of your own,
and I'm sure that's a lifelong bond that they'll be talking about
when they grow up as well.
So thank you for the question there, Matt.
Ian Fowler says,
A lot of we need a DC comments out there.
Where do you stand on the issue?
Is it scheme or players or both?
Also, do you drink a 12 pack of pepsi
on game days uh i do drink a 12 pack of pepsi not the whole thing i mean not the whole 12 pack i
listen pop is um uh delicious uh it's maybe not as healthy for you as Bilt Bar or Bilt Goat.
That's all I'll say about that.
But I try to limit my soda consumption.
But yeah, when I get frisky on the weekends, I'm not a big alcohol guy.
So if it's a Friday night, I'll pick up a pizza and maybe a couple pops.
And that's me kind of going crazy not that you know I won't kick back a gin and tonic or you know a nice half a visin or something like that I'm not you know
never gonna have a an alcoholic beverage I'm not against it in any way or anything like that but
just not really a go-to for me so yeah on a Friday night or a big game or on a Sunday, want to kick
back, maybe eat some nasty food and have a nice drink, nice tasty beverage. Yeah, I'll definitely
drink some Pepsi, but no, not a whole 12-pack. And as for your question about the DC, one,
we may need a defensive coordinator. Maybe Shane Bowen isn't the play caller that we need. Maybe
we need more of a captain running the defensive ship so that Mike Rabel can focus more on the overall team. Maybe
that is something that is hurting. It's really hard to tell with coaching what they're being
asked to do. You can't know for certain what you see out on tape. Does it make sense to you? Does
it not make sense to you? And the actual coaching and technique that they're being taught during
practice, you can't know that. You're not inside the building.
But it's obvious that certain position groups are playing a lot worse than they did with different coaches.
The secondary with Coombs, now seeing Jim Haslett with the inside linebackers,
they'd have a major drop-off in play in the inside linebackers.
So it is the players playing individually, not playing as well as they need to play.
But it's obvious that this coaching staff is not doing as good of a job.
And the problem is if you hire a DC, you're basically telling Shane Bowen, hey, you're
not good enough to call plays.
Mike Rabel has to say, hey, I'm not really capable of being the pseudo DC and the head
coach.
A lot of people got to look themselves in the mirror for something like that to happen.
And are they going to agree schematically, philosophy wise, with Mike Rabel on how he wants to run his defense.
That's something that is interesting to watch.
So a lot of people say, like, bring in Wade Phillips or some other names.
Well, their defensive schemes don't fit with what the Titans are trying to do.
Whether it's working or not, that's another debate.
But, you know, that's why I guess I wouldn't call it scheme.
I would call it techniques that the Titans are being asked to play.
Alignment is questionable for me from the coaching side,
but players are also not getting the job done as well.
Some of the final questions here are a little more off the beaten path.
Well, I guess here's one from Kieran Shaker.
He says, is he close?
Video of Isaiah Wilson.
Looks very lean, looks very thin, looks to be in great shape, looks
powerful, but I'm not going to get my hopes up. I'm just going to let that dude come back whenever
he comes back. And then the final few questions here, final three questions. Wow. Okay. Never
mind. There are a few other questions I forgot to get to. Zachary Navarette said, let's say we get
the Chiefs again in the playoffs. How do you think the defense will hold up this time around?
Without Adoree Jackson, they're in trouble.
With Adoree Jackson, I think they have a similar chance
because you have Jadavion Clowney and Jeffrey Simmons and Harold Landry
who are better players.
Maybe they can get a few sacks on Pat Mahomes.
Going forward, Slappy says, what is your single greatest moment in Titans history?
We need some positive Titans moments to cope here.
What is your single greatest moment in Titans history?
We need some positive Titans moments to cope here.
I would have to say the run to the Super Bowl or last year's run.
Beating Baltimore in Baltimore when the cards were stacked against them.
I think that that definitely could be up there, but probably the Super Bowl run and just playing in a Super Bowl
was probably the greatest moment in Titans history.
Have to go with that.
So going to get to these last three questions here.
Derek Shuler, what are your thoughts on Eminem?
I remember you saying Drake is your favorite rapper.
What does Drake have that puts him above other rappers?
Eminem is probably my second or third favorite rapper of all time.
Drake and then Lil Wayne and Eminem.
So I love Eminem.
I think he's one of the most gifted
lyricists and storytellers in the history of hip-hop. So love Eminem, of course. But what
sets Drake apart, in my opinion, I do a comparison here between rap and basketball, and I always
compare LeBron and Drake because LeBron brought the playmaking of a Magic Johnson with the scoring
of a Michael Jordan. He may not be as good as either of those guys at either of those,
but the combination of both and one player has been incredibly special.
We're seeing that from Drake right now.
He's blending pop music with hip-hop music in a way that I don't think anybody has done.
Definitely no one's done as successfully.
So Drake gets a big nod there for me because he's blending pop music.
He's blending rap music.
And I love hip hop.
I love rap.
But I also have always enjoyed pop music growing up, listening to Michael Jackson with my mom,
listening to his music and things like that.
So I always like pop music as well.
And combining pop, which is so big in our culture, and hip hop music, which has gotten
so much bigger in our culture together. Both of those things.
I think it's made him an incredible blend that we haven't seen before.
And like I said, if we have seen it before,
hasn't been as successful as we have seen Drake been.
And I love that combination.
So that's where I stand on that.
That's going to do it for our mailbag though.
Going to close down the mailbag.
Hopefully we get into another mailbag before the end of the season.
Who knows? It could be in the off season, but I really appreciate all of you guys sending
in questions. Thank you very much. We are going to move into going over some of the reviews you
guys have put in onto the show, and I'm very thankful for that. So thank you very much. And
I'm going to get to those shout outs and get to those reviews. Before I do jump into that, though,
and get to those reviews. Before I do jump into that though, I want to talk to you guys about Built Bar, the best tasting protein bar ever. We had a deal running with Built Bar a while back,
and you guys sold out their inventory, and that was just their 12 original flavors. Now they have

It is a fan-made Monday edition of the Locked On Titans podcast.
A lot of you guys asked me about where the Titans were in the playoff picture,
so we went over that to start out our show.
Then we dove into your guys' questions in a Monday mailbag,
so I really enjoyed that.
But we are going to keep letting you guys grab the steering wheel and drive the show.
And as I always say, if you go on Apple iTunes and you leave me a review, preferably
five stars, but I mean, tell me how you really feel. I don't want to beg for a fake rating.
I feel like I do a five star job most of the time. So that's what I should get most of the time. But
if you don't feel that way, feel free to let me know. But those five stars will get you
a shout out and I'll make sure to read your review on the show, and I've been saying that for a while now, and I need to pay off
that promise to you guys, so with the Titans not playing over the weekend, and us already recapping
that game, feels like a good opportunity to go ahead and pay off that promise to you guys, like
I said, and we are going to dive into the schematic content and the
X's and O's breakdowns like we always do throughout the rest of the week so Monday was just a great
time to go ahead and pay off some of the debts that I owe to you guys for being such a such a
fantastic audience man I couldn't really ask for uh for a better family here to talk about the
Titans with but diving into this first one comes from Donnie2794.
He gave me a five-star review.
Phenomenal Titans info.
Tyler is awesome when putting out the latest information about the Titans.
I look forward to listening to this podcast every weekday when there is a new episode.
He gives his honest opinion whether some of his fans want to hear it or not.
But regardless, I can count on him keeping it 100% real.
He more than holds his own when doing the crossover episodes,
and I always compare him to other teams' locked-on podcast representatives,
and I honestly believe we have the best representative in the league.
I hope he continues to give great info about my favorite team in any sport.
Keep up the great work, brother.
You definitely motivate me.
That is very nice.
I appreciate it, Donnie.
You know, my hero in sports is Kobe Bryant and he has motivated me throughout my life so if I could possibly pay that
forward by motivating anybody else from talking about the Titans and going over things with
passion then uh that's all I could ever uh aspire to do next is from Tony 209 best host ever if you
aren't listening to this podcast, you're really
missing out. Tyler is here five days straight bringing nothing but fire. Even if there is bad
news, Tyler will somehow manage to bring the same level of energy every single episode. Dude is
amazing. Can't believe this guy ain't on the NFL network with this type of analysis he brings.
Keep it up, man. Thanks, Tony. Maybe one maybe one day who knows uh just gonna keep working hard
and doing my best see what happens but i definitely do uh really appreciate that and the energy level
i'll tell you you guys appreciate it and a lot of this talks about my energy level but some of the
people closest to me in my life would like me to maybe tone down the energy sometimes uh never turn
it off never have never will uh next uh okinawa titans fan mandatory
listening for titans fans i stumbled across this podcast last season while looking for content on
the titans after hearing insightful and educational commentary i subscribed immediately mush rush
anyone tyler's energy and enthusiasm is greatly appreciated the mush rush man and it worked
against josh allen so you guys can uh say whatever you want about my terminology there where i came from how to call
that three-man rush where you don't pressure the pocket too much but it worked on josh allen
uh so i i appreciate the titans for at least using that whatever they want to call it uh next
tighten up from mm12011 tyler runs a tight ship. Yes, I do. Rule with an iron fist.
Cogent analysis and solid football acumen.
Best part is his rant.
Listen to him.
RIP Paul Kaharski, a new one if you are a Titans fan.
Worth the price of admission for sure.
Also, the price is free.
Yes, tighten up, y'all.
Yes, the price is free.
But, yeah, when those stories came out about the Titans breaking protocol,
and they look even worse now with other teams getting fined and punished way more severely.
Those articles look just really well done in retrospect now.
So I think I came out a winner on that topic.
Very enjoyable and intelligent.
1, 2, 3, 4, Erox.
I really appreciate Tyler's enthusiasm and insight into
the game he's not just a homer giving you the company lines thanks i really try not to be
love the tighten ups and tighten down segment everyone's favorite segment tighten up tight down
always well prepared for the crossover talk with the other team's host pretty good information on
those days i think so i love the crossover conversations and some of the ones we've been
having recently have been really really good about and like tech. Like I can look up the data,
you can look up the data, the stats and all that. But you know, I can't watch every single game on
film for another team. I just don't have the time in my life to do that. So the things I see on film,
the little tips I pick up from the couple of games I'm able to watch with the stats and then getting
the context from the other hosts. Kevin Allstriker is fantastic.
So make sure you check out Crossover Thursday this week.
It's really, really good.
But continuing forward here, great podcast, Tito1456.
What up, Tito?
If you are a Titans fan, this is the best podcast for you.

a silver fox, buddy.
Excellent presentation.
Very good details and discussion.
Enjoyable to listen to without too much humor or off-subject topics.
Overall, great podcast.
Well, Joe, you might not like today because I've been throwing in plenty of humor.
But, yeah, you know, I try to have a little fun.
But we want to talk about the Titans, get the info out there, break down the team.
I do call Tic Tac Titans because I focus on the X's and O's,
so can't be yucking it up too much, you know.
Next, the boy who knows football.
Oh, the boy knows his football.
Thank you.
Like It Heavy is the name here.
Great podcast for diehard Titans fans.
My boy Tyler knows his football, and it's clear when you listen.
To be honest, he should be in Vrabel's Pressers. Thank you for what his football and it's clear when you listen. To be honest,
he should be in Vrabel's pressers.
Thank you for what you do
and keep up the good work.
Tighten up.
One day.
One day, folks.
I will ask Mike Vrabel a question
at a press conference.
It's coming.
Just stick with me.
You know?
Tell your friends.
We'll make this happen.
I got big plans coming up
for the rest of eternity.
I promise.
Next,
The Best from Zjust11.
One thing I've realized after listening
to this podcast for over a year now,
you are the best host at Locked On.
The crossover Thursdays have made me realize
this as you are head and shoulders above the
other hosts. Keep it real. You know the
game and you say it like it is. Tighten up.
That is a great compliment. I love
all the other hosts at Locked On, though.
So, you know, I don't want to disparage anybody.
But I do try to be very prepared.
I try to be very professional,
make sure that I'm giving good information
to the fan base of the other team
who only hears my voice once a season at best,
maybe once every four years.
So I do appreciate that.
And I like being prepared for those.
Best Titans program,
Locked On Titans is number one place
for Tennessee Titans news.
I appreciate what Tyler does
and bring news and updates every day,
and I hope he can keep it going for seasons to come.
That's from one Titan, and I certainly hope we can do this for seasons to come.
Thank you.
Datboogie37, I enjoy this pod.
Thanks.
I'll take that.
KingTed811, I listen to a lot of football podcasts,
but Locked on Titans with Tyler Rowland is the best.
He always has interesting content,
and he keeps his listeners engaged even in the offseason.
He works especially hard to make sure he puts out a pod every day,
even if it means he stays up until 2 a.m. after a game.
Yes, like the Broncos game.
My lord, I don't want to do that anymore,
but I will if it means getting you guys your daily Titans podcast.
Staying up on Thursday night was pretty miserable, too.
I was upset halfway through the fourth quarter.
I just started getting things going.
I was so mad.
So I appreciate that, though, King Ted.
And the last one here is from THouser11.
Best Titans podcast.
Always enjoy Tyler's analysis of the Titans, both on the field and from a front office perspective.
Fans can get too emotional and irrational about the team.
No way.
Never.
But Tyler does a great job keeping everything in perspective.
Thanks for all the work you do.
Thank you, T. Houser.
And thank you all of you guys.
I'm so blessed to have all you guys in my life and be able to do this show with you every day.
And that's why I wanted to take this opportunity to kind of pay off all you guys
and pay off some of the debts that I had made and the promises that I had made. So thank you very much for the mailback questions.
Thank you very much for the five-star reviews. Later on in the season, I will find a way to work
in another mailback to work in more reviews. So keep giving those to me. The show is free. All I
ask is follow me on Twitter at TicTacTitan. Subscribe to the show on whatever platform you
do stream and throw me a five-star review if you do listen on Apple Podcasts.
But that's going to do it for me today.
Tomorrow is a TicTac Tuesday.
Make sure that you subscribe.
Follow me on Twitter.
I'm going to have some excellent content from an X's and O's perspective tomorrow,
breaking down some schematic things, doing our TicTac four-pack as well,
breaking down the four most impactful plays from the Titans' loss to the Indianapolis Colts.
It's a big week, a big game ahead.
The Titans really got to kick it into gear after going on a little bit of a 1-3 skid here.
Need to turn the season around, and when they do it,
I'll be breaking it all down here on the Locked on Titans podcast.
So as always, I am your host, Tyler Rowland, and this was Locked on Titans.
