Locked On Titans - Daily Podcast On The Tennessee Titans - L'Jarius Sneed is BACK at Tennessee Titans Camp, Cam Ward COOKS Defense & Van Jefferson Trade Spots

Episode Date: August 21, 2025

Big news on Wednesday for the Tennessee Titans and L'Jarius Sneed, who was finally activated off the PUP. Sneed can have a major impact on the Titans in 2025, but his return from PUP does not guarante...e Sneed will be worth his contract this season. The Tennessee Titans had another practice on Wednesday and Cam Ward was COOKING. Ward threw multiple touchdowns and had good success throughout the practice. Ward is starting to heat up and that is what should be happening. Finally, there are some teams out there interested in a wide receiver trade and if the Titans can open up space and get a draft pick, it would be a win for everyone.  Subscribe to the TicTacTitans Film Channel:https://www.youtube.com/@TicTacTitans TicTacTitans Merchandise: https://dixons-dream.square.site/shop/tictactitans-gear/C3AAPNWXSXA6SBYG3USV2I7R?page=1&limit=30&sort_by=category_order&sort_order=asc Follow Tyler on Twitter @TicTacTitans Follow the show on Facebook @LockedOnTitansPod Subscribe to the Locked On Titans YouTube channel:https://www.youtube.com/c/LockedOnTitans/videos Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Yahoo FantasyPresented by YahooFantasy #YahooPartner.

Starting point is 00:00:00 Legerius Sneed is back from injury, and while I'm cautiously optimistic, this could be a massive deal for the Tennessee Titans, and I'll break it down on today's edition of Locked on Titans. You are Locked on Titans, your daily Tennessee Titans podcast, part of the Locked On Podcast Network, your team every day. Welcome to the Locked-on Titans podcast. I am your host, Tyler Rowland Titans fans. Today's edition of the Locked-on Titans podcast is brought to you by Fandle. Football season is right around the corner. Visit the Fandle app today and start planning your futures bets. Now, on today's show, we are going to break down the big news on Wednesday.
Starting point is 00:00:50 Legerious Need activated from PUP. I'm going to talk about what it means for the Titans, but I got to tell you, I am going to be cautiously optimistic about this one. Also, we got to talk about Tennessee Titans practice on Wednesday where Cam Ward threw five touchdown passes and was absolutely cooking. Also, we got to talk about a potential trade for the Tennessee Titans with some teams in the NFL looking for a wide receiver. And if that doesn't make sense now, trust me, it will.
Starting point is 00:01:19 I got injury updates for you guys as well. Before we dive into all of it, do want to thank you for making Locked-on Titans your first listen each and every day. Monday through Friday. Tennessee Titans content all year round always for free make sure that you get subscribed stay subscribed it's your team every day here on the Locked on Titans podcast speaking of every day shout it to my everydayers out there tuning in Monday through Friday couldn't do it without you guys if you aren't an everydayer you need to be one the Titans have a preseason game on Friday their final
Starting point is 00:01:49 one I'll be previewing that on tomorrow show and then I'll be live here after the game finishes to break down everything you need to know roster prediction 53 man roster cuts right around the corner so much coming your way again make sure you get subscribed stay subscribed at your team every day with that being said I have a need for Sneed Legerius Sneed is back with the Tennessee Titans He was activated off PUP on Wednesday
Starting point is 00:02:16 and was at practice He did some individual drills and things like that The Titans are certainly gonna work in Legerius Sneed slowly here He said it himself after practice that he needs to get back into football condition. His conditioning will be the biggest thing that he needs to work on and look. If you guys listen to the show yesterday, you know that I'm cautious about being excited about Legerius Sneed in any way.
Starting point is 00:02:43 And I'll talk about why I'm apprehensive to get too excited here. But at the end of the day, this could be absolutely massive for the Tennessee Titans. Again, I'm going to go over all my reasons for caution. But let's be optimistic here to start the show. Let's talk about how this could go well for the Tennessee Titans. And at the end of the day, if we remember, just a year ago, we were all over the moon excited about Legerius Sneed. He had just come off being probably the best cornerback in the NFL in 2023.
Starting point is 00:03:15 He was an eraser. We went over the stats at the time of everything that he did to wide receiver ones all over the NFL. If that player, if 2023 Legerius Sneed is back, if that's the guy who shows up for the Tennessee Titans, this has a potential to not only transform the defense, but transform what this Tennessee Titans team is capable of. That has always been the case.
Starting point is 00:03:39 If you have a full-blown lockdown number one top-five cornerback in the NFL at one of your spots, and then you have a really, really solid year-two player and Jarvis Brownlee Jr. And then you have one of the best slot cornerbacks in the NFL and Roger McCreary at slot corner. And then you have Amani Hooker, one of the best ballhawks in the NFL back deep at safety
Starting point is 00:04:03 with Xavier Woods, a physical, versatile, reliable, durable veteran. And then off the bench, you could come with a young gun like Kevin Winston. A guy in Quondre Diggs who is coming off an injury and is an older player, but Cuanre Diggs was playing very well for the Titans last year. And he's your safety four now. Think about that secondary together.
Starting point is 00:04:28 Dary Baker is your number one outside corner. Your draft pick, Marcus Harris, is your number two back up behind Daryl Baker. Like, that is a pretty good secondary group. And the problem is, is that without legurious need, it falls apart. Because if you have that top-tier number one cornerback, it slots everybody else in the same exact spot.
Starting point is 00:04:50 in the place that they're supposed to be that we just discussed. So, not only is this massive for the, or can be massive for the Titans because of what Legerius Neid means for the defense, but think about the level of defense that you would get to and how much that would impact the offense. Imagine if you have Daryl Baker Jr. or rookie Marcus Harris as a starting cornerback for your team with what appears to be a number two right now
Starting point is 00:05:19 in Jarvis Brownlee Jr. and a guy who would, who we know has to be in the slot with Roger McCreary. Like, the domino effect of Legerius Sneed being back to full strength and back being the player that the Titans expected to get, that could be incredible for the Tennessee Titans. This is why I talked about Legerius Sneed being one of the three X-factor players for the Titans this year. He is one of their three top X-Factor players
Starting point is 00:05:44 because if they get a full-blown Legerius Sneed back in the lineup and healthy for a whole season, it does fundamentally change what the Tennessee Titans defense is capable of and if you raise the ceiling of the defense enough you're raising the ceiling of the entire team especially with a rookie quarterback and a young offense with a lot of young weapons and a brand new offensive line and we know that the defense should be ahead of the offense so if the defense with Legerius Sneed can raise the ceiling of that side it's going to raise the level of the entire team because they're going to need the defense to carry the weight
Starting point is 00:06:19 sometimes with the youth on offense. So, potential to absolutely fundamentally change what the Tennessee Titans are capable of this season. But here is where I'm cautiously optimistic. This is where, remember what we talked about yesterday. It was just on yesterday's show that I did a whole entire segment of Legerius Sneeds a ghost. You can't count on Legerius Sneed this year.
Starting point is 00:06:41 They need to go forward talking about how to manage the roster in the future. Go forward as if Ligerius Sneed's not going to be with the team after this year. Because after what they just went through over the last year and a half, how could you possibly count on Legerius Sneen? So that's what I was saying yesterday. And he gets activated from PUP today
Starting point is 00:07:04 and I thought it was interesting that some people were like oh, you just said yesterday. Well, we still have no guarantees that Legerius Steed's going to be back for week one. He said that's his plan and he's confident in himself saying oh, when I get back out on the field you're going to see a brand new Ligerius Snee. I don't want to see a brand new Legerius Steed
Starting point is 00:07:21 I want to see the old Legerius Steen I want to see the one from Kansas City That's what I want not a new Legerius Steed But here's my thing We talked about how this can impact the Titans I gave you your standard dose of optimism and happiness But just because Legerius Steed was activated off PUP
Starting point is 00:07:39 Doesn't mean that he's going to be ready for week one It doesn't mean that he's going to play up to the level of his contract It doesn't mean that he's going to stay healthy all year long and as a matter of fact, I'm glad that the health thing is resolved but the legal situation where Legerius Sneed was in a car and someone opened fire at another car and at a car dealership like that's going to a grand jury to decide if they're going to indict him or not.
Starting point is 00:08:05 So the legal situation is still not resolved. I'm just saying we should be excited, we should be optimistic that Legerius Sneed can come back and be the player that he's being paid to be and that the Titans paid and trained. value to get. But if you're taking Legerius Sneed being activated off P-U-P as hey and now it's time to victory lap, Legerius Sneed is back. Well I know that's internet culture for you but that's just a little bit too quick on the victory lap folks. I again I would just say be cautiously optimistic. It's good that
Starting point is 00:08:39 he's activated it's good that he's saying the right things but he also said two and a half months ago is the healthiest he's ever been and then he wasn't able to participate for two and a half months. So, excited? They need him. They desperately need Sneed. But I'm just saying,
Starting point is 00:08:58 keep your powder dry on this one. Don't get your hopes up too soon. For me, with Legerius Sneed, I want to see him on the field playing at a high level before I can believe that the Titans are out of this Legerius Sneed fog that they've been in.
Starting point is 00:09:12 So I know people want to just get over the moon and freak out and all that, but just saying again keep the powder dry on this one cautiously optimistic guard your heart Titans fans because just because he got activated on PUP doesn't mean that he's going to be worth this contract and play all 17 games and sometimes people take one thing and try to make it mean other things and it just doesn't mean that yet so guard your heart but at the end of the day this is good news for the Tennessee Titans and like I've said he's an X Factor player
Starting point is 00:09:43 they absolutely need him to be the player that he's being paid to be And until I see him do that out on the football field, I'm sorry, my optimism level is going to stay at a normal rate. But with that being said, you want real hype. Cam Ward was cooking at practice on Wednesday. Today's episode is presented by Fan Duel Sportsbook. August 26th is officially Fan Duel Futures Day.

Starting point is 00:11:16 Titans fans let's continue today's edition of the Locked-on Titans podcast talking about everything you need to know from the Wednesday that was for the Tennessee Titans Legerious Sneed is back we talked about why you should be cautiously optimistic about that we do want to talk about Cam Ward cooking in practice on Wednesday five touchdown passes I'll get into that also we're gonna talk about a potential Van Jefferson trade because there's a lot of wide receiver needy teams out there and and I think it might make sense for the roster math. Now before we get into Cam Ward Cook and do want to thank you again for making Locked on Titans your first listen each and every day. But Cam Ward again went off in practice on Wednesday
Starting point is 00:12:01 multiple reports out there multiple reports indicating how great of a day Cam Ward had. I saw my guy Parker Kelly and Jim White always breaks it down to Ron Davenport of course with the great takeaways after practice but it didn't matter where you looked Everyone was saying how great of a day Cam Ward had.
Starting point is 00:12:19 He had, again, five touchdown passes. A couple of those came in seven-on-seven drills with one to Chick-a-Conquo, one to Bryce Oliver. The Bryce Oliver catch. The Titans put that up on social media. Moss the defensive back. It was Darrell Baker just goes up, grabs it, taps the feet. It is as beautiful of a sideline red zone seven-on-seven catch
Starting point is 00:12:39 as you're going to find with two hands, I would say. Maybe some incredible one-handers, but great catch by Bryce Oliver on a touchdown in Cam Ward. It was a back shoulder fade to Bryce Oliver and Cam just like Cam took one step and just threw a perfect ball It's so beautiful It's so beautiful to watch
Starting point is 00:12:54 And that's the type of stuff Cam is going to dial that stuff in As he gets more confident He gets more comfortable And he talked about that From the playbook standpoint We'll talk about that in just a second But to continue
Starting point is 00:13:04 Team drills Hits Chigaconquo on a seam route Hits Josh Wiley Tony Pollard Chigacquo again all in a row Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, lighten it up. Gets into another team period.
Starting point is 00:13:20 Big completion of Van Jefferson who has had back-to-back good days of practice. Do you hear that? Do you hear that NFL? Good days of practice from Van Jefferson. We'll get to that at the end of the show. But completion to Bryce Oliver, completion to Chim D-K as well.
Starting point is 00:13:34 Chim D-K makes a catch on the sideline. Then you get to team red zone, period. Down in the red zone, low-red zone, team period. And Cam just starts to go. Tyler Lockett. Touchdown. Van Jefferson, touchdown. D.K., touchdown, touchdown, touchdown. Cam was cooking.
Starting point is 00:13:52 Now, there was an overthrow on a deep route to Josh Wiley that I saw reported. There was another throw to Elicio Manor that was a little bit off target. So was he absolutely perfect on every single throw? No, but this is what you want to hear from Cam Ward. This is what we wanted to see. Yeah, there were struggle practices. Early on and Brian Callahan talked about how he wanted those practices to be a struggle. He wanted it to be as hard as possible for Cam Ward going into the regular season
Starting point is 00:14:19 so that when he gets there, he's not shocked. Now look, tough situations in practice where you can't be hit are going to be different than tough situations against the Denver Broncos. Make no mistake about it. There's no doubt there. It's going to be much more different to tough situations. But they're trying to get Cam Ward as prepared as possible and it's starting to pay off with the comfortability level.
Starting point is 00:14:41 And I thought, one of the things that Cam Ward said after practice that I found very, very interesting. He talked about how he basically feels like he knows the playbook now. Still a ways to go, of course, but he feels like he understands the fundamental aspect of the offense and has command of the full offense at this point. I found that quote. It's much more exciting and you guys all go crazy
Starting point is 00:15:08 when I talk about the practice stats. and he was 10 for 17 with five touchdowns and he threw passes to this guy and this guy and this guy and this guy but I know that that gets you guys going but what gets me going is hearing Cam Ward talk about the playbook and how much more comfortable he feels
Starting point is 00:15:24 with the playbook and how he's got it down on foundational level and once they start game planning individually for teams that's going to change you know like they're going to have to put in new plays and they're going to have to you know vary some of the way that they run
Starting point is 00:15:39 certain plays, to attack certain defenses, certain schemes and philosophies. Like, it's, the playbook isn't just set in stone at all times. It's ever evolving, right? It's ever evolving. So, you can never truly have a full grasp on a playbook that never stops. You know what I mean? But at the end of the day, if you know the fundamentals, it's how I feel about cooking.
Starting point is 00:15:59 You know, if you can make a good sauce, you got a nice, a little bit of butter to de-glaze, get you a wooden spoon, scrape off the fond, throw in a little bit of that chicken broth. let that simmer a little bit reduce in half come in with the heavy cream all right just a little crack pepper a little salt you got yourself a pretty decent sauce that can be the base of any kind of sauce now you want to throw in some shallots now you want to throw in some sauteed mushrooms now you want to throw in a little bit of dried time some herbs you want to throw in a little dash of hot sauce you want to make it something different if you
Starting point is 00:16:35 have a base you always feel more comfortable changing the recipe going forward to individual needs and that's what the Tennessee Titans can do right now Cam Ward has his base sauce figured out and from there you can plus it in any way you want and I think we're going to see Cam Ward a little bit in this final preseason game
Starting point is 00:16:53 it sounds like most of the starters will play and we'll talk about that more on tomorrow's preview show but Cam Ward getting more comfortable out on the practice field starting to really show it and I think again some people made it a negative thing some people made it a bad thing and the players had to respond
Starting point is 00:17:11 and Big Jeff had to give a statement and they asked Cam Ward about it after practice on Wednesday but that quote unquote fight the little scuffle between Big Jeff and Cam Ward I can't help it guys I think that was a moment
Starting point is 00:17:26 that was a moment for Cam Ward Cam Ward throws a touchdown pass in the back of the end zone feeling himself a little bit a little swagger puts him with the Cam Ward Sally pushes big Jeff in the back. Cam Ward's feeling himself. He feels comfortable.
Starting point is 00:17:41 It feels confident. I think these things all tie together. I think Cam Ward's confidence to do something like that. Not just talk back when Jeff talks at him, but I'm going at Jeff to let him know. Suck it. You know what I mean? That's what I'm letting you know.
Starting point is 00:17:56 Take some of that, buddy. The confidence is not just to respond, but to instigate your teammates. You're that comfortable. You feel like your team has your back. You can go up to the defensive leader, to the leader of the team the last few years and give him some.
Starting point is 00:18:13 That's comfortability. That's starting to feel confident. And then you respond after that with a five touchdown day where you look like you're in total command, you're cool, you're calm, you're collected. And then you follow that afterwards saying, me and Big Jeff are good.
Starting point is 00:18:31 That's my dog. And he said, they asked him, what'd you learn after your interaction with Big Jeff and he said the Big Jeff is strong as crap and I edited it for you guys because I know kids listen and I got you don't worry
Starting point is 00:18:43 I'm never gonna never gonna shock you parents out there riding in the car with your kids or something wild but he said Big Jeff strong as crap that's what I learned like it's just
Starting point is 00:18:53 what I find is and I hate to like be rude to people in the media also but I feel like there are a lot of people who cover the team who didn't have a hyper competitive attitude growing up or maybe that didn't play sports like there's some people on the
Starting point is 00:19:11 beat that you know weren't band and stuff that didn't even play football and I don't like to be like oh you didn't play guy because I only played high school football a college football player an NFL football player could all look at me and say you don't know what you're talking about because you only played high school and I played higher so I'm not trying to be like I played football and they didn't but well but I'm just saying that people who didn't grow up in a hyper-competitive environment with super-uber-competitive friends or brothers or sisters or a family in general. If you didn't grow up in sports in that hyper-competitive environment, you may not understand like me and my best friend, me and my brother could play one-on-one basketball against each other
Starting point is 00:19:52 and I'm calling him every name in the book, you're soft, you're this, you're that, F-U, bubba-bah, this and that. Oh, you're weak. Get that trash out of here. Like that's just how me and my friend speak to each other. So to me, my reaction when I saw the fight between Jeff and Cam was, this is awesome. Get fired up. I love hyper-competitive athletes giving it to one another in a healthy way in training camp. Like, I love this. I live for this. This is what I'm talking about. And a lot of people in the media clutched their... Oh, no. Jeffrey Simmons was out of control. Oh, don't touch the quarterback. Oh, this is unacceptable. Oh, he had to be escorted out of practice, but, you know, there's a lot of pearl clutching in the media and I'm just like
Starting point is 00:20:36 Did you guys ever play ball? Did you ever get in fights with your friends on the playground? Did you ever call your best friend, you know, soft or you know, tell him he's a sissy or anything after him missing a tackle on you and tackle football? You know, did you ever score a layup and tell him you suck? You know what I mean? Like I guess just the way that people respond to things that we see in the game of football. I'm surprised that, you know, Brian Callahan said, I'm not going to throw a guy out of training camp practice for a little pushing and shoving and cussing. He's like, I don't know if you guys have been around
Starting point is 00:21:09 the NFL, but that's not something to throw a player out for in my experience where I've been. And it's like, oh, maybe not. It seems like a lot of the people locally just don't understand hyper-competitive environments and what's normal and what's not normal. So they're like, oh my God,
Starting point is 00:21:25 I can't believe that that just happened. What an interaction. and what that was so intense and the players are just like yeah it was fun we were at practice talking crap you know like it's just normal to hyper-competitive people and people who aren't used to hyper-competitive environments
Starting point is 00:21:41 may not think that that sort of intensity is as normal so I love everything we're hearing from Cam Ward this week going at Big Jeff his answer about the playbook how he's performed in practice he really does seem like he's taking those steps forward that we wanted to see from him as we get closer to the regular season. But with that in mind, there's a lot of teams out there in the NFL that want a wide receiver and up the, I'm the Titans. I got a veteran wide receiver and I got a used van

We have talked about Ligerious Sneeds returning why I'm cautiously optimistic about that one. We talked about Cam Ward's performance and practice on Wednesday, his growth as a player so far.
Starting point is 00:23:57 Absolutely fantastic. But now we've got to talk trades. Because again, a lot of teams out there in the NFL are looking for a wide receiver and I think the Titans have the right one on the lock. Now, before we get into that, thanks again for making Locked on Titans your first listen. NFL fantasy draft season is right around the corner. So make your second listen Locked on Fantasy Football. You got host Vinnie Iyer and my girl Michelle Majuk, the Data Queen, who also hosts with me on Locked on NFL.

Make sure that you're the most informed fantasy manager so that you can take home your league's trophy this year by locked on fantasy football on YouTube or wherever you listen to podcasts. But the Jets, the 49ers,
Starting point is 00:24:42 the Vikings. All I've been reported is very, very interested in the trade market for wide receivers. We just saw the New Orleans Saints make an insane trade for Devon Valet from the Broncos for like a fourth round pick, something like that, it's insane. He's got 400 career passing yards for a fourth round pick.
Starting point is 00:25:01 I mean, I think Velae is an underrated player too, but, you know, hey. Now, if Devon Velae can get a fourth round pick, even with a massive overpay from the New Orleans Saints, if Devon Vailay can get a fourth round pick, the Titans can get a sixth round pick out of Van Jefferson. Van Jefferson is a consummate professional. Van Jefferson has been around. for forever. All right. Van Jefferson is a guy
Starting point is 00:25:28 that can play all spots that is, again, a veteran professional guy who's going to be reliable and be out there. If you're a contending team and you want to get a solid veteran receiver for way cheaper than Devon Vele call Mike Borgonzi about Van Jefferson. Now I know there are some people out there who will say this.
Starting point is 00:25:55 But Cam Ward needs all the help that he can get. Why would we trade Van Jefferson away? Well, here's what I would tell you. Start doing the roster map. Ridley. Lockett. Iow Manor. D.K.
Starting point is 00:26:14 Bryce Oliver. And did you hear? Did you hear Bones Fossil in his press conference on Wednesday? That's why you're here with me, of course. But Bones Fossil said that they're not exactly confident
Starting point is 00:26:31 in Chim D.K. as their punt returner yet. And if that's the case, then that means that James Prochay is the punt returner. So, James Prochay, that's six guys. That's six guys. Without Van Jefferson, that's six, right there. Where does that leave Xavier Restrepa? So the question is,
Starting point is 00:26:52 would you rather keep Xavier Restrepa? and get a seventh or sixth round pick for Van Jefferson? Or would you rather keep Van Jefferson and cut Xavier Restrepo and hope that you can get him back on practice squad where he could still be stolen at any time by another team? Van Jefferson in a seventh. Let's make it as bad as possible, a conditional seventh rounder. Van Jefferson and a seventh or Van Jefferson and cut Xavier Restrepo
Starting point is 00:27:20 or Xavier Restrepo in a seventh. what do you want to do with the sixth spot? Now, there's no guarantee that a trade will be available for the Titans. There's no guarantee that someone would give them something for Van Jefferson. I mean, Gabe Davis is still out on the market. Why wouldn't you just go sign Gabe Davis rather than give a pick for Van Jefferson, in my opinion? But at the end of the day, we don't know for certain
Starting point is 00:27:46 and maybe that'll make sense for a team. And I'm just saying if one of these wide receiver needy teams, because I saw someone in the comment dead inside. Well, boy, I know how you feel this week. But he says here, saw something where we could take a chance on Sky Moore. Sky Moore was a former first-round pick wide receiver for the Kansas City Chiefs who's probably going to be cut. Now, it's probably because he's not any good
Starting point is 00:28:15 and he's not going to be any good with the Titans either. But, but, think about that. Now you're talking about claiming people off waivers at wide receiver off other teams. Where are you getting that room from? Seven wide receivers are already locked in. So if they want to keep Ridley, Lockett, I.O., D.K., Restrepo, or Oliver, Proche. If they want to keep those six guys, Van Jefferson's the odd man out. Now, the problem is that Van Jefferson is one of the only big wide receivers.
Starting point is 00:28:51 If they don't have Van Jefferson, there is nobody else who could play the X wide receiver spot except Elykeyo Manor. And I want Iyo to play a ton over Van Jefferson anyways. But nonetheless, depth is important. Like, depth is super important. So, it's a tough spot for the Titans to be in.
Starting point is 00:29:17 I'm just saying I think the path of trading Van Jefferson if possible opens up way more on the roster than keeping Van Jefferson who I'm just not overly enamoring with he's just another guy you can there are
Starting point is 00:29:31 you know 50 Van Jeffersons in the NFL right now so I'm just not I'm just not that worried about it but let me know whether you would trade Van Jefferson as well very very interested injury update
Starting point is 00:29:46 still know Latham, still no Ridley Not good Managing soreness Well, two straight days a miss So hopefully everything's okay there Still no Winston and Sweat as well
Starting point is 00:30:01 So that's the big four right now That we really are going to care about Latham, Ridley, Winston's sweat And they need all four of them Desperate Desper But that's going to do it for me today folks again
Starting point is 00:30:13 I'm going to have a game preview for you guys tomorrow I'm going to have instant reaction live here on the Locked on Titans YouTube channel after the game ends on Friday night. I know I was a little late tonight releasing things on YouTube. Thank you guys for bearing with me. Definitely do appreciate it. But again, that's going to do it for me today, folks.
Starting point is 00:30:31 As always, I am your host, Tyler Rowland, and this was Locked on Titans. Thank you.
