Locked On Titans - Daily Podcast On The Tennessee Titans - Tennessee Titans Brian Callahan is CLUELESS, Don't Blame Cam Ward & Biggest Week 1 Improvements

Episode Date: September 8, 2025

The Tennessee Titans got a disasterclass of a performance from Brian Callahan against the Denver Broncos and when Callahan went to the podium on Monday, his reasoning fell short and left him looking c...lueless, which means more than you would think. However, Cam Ward was spectacular despite the lack of help he received from the rest of his offense and Titans fans should be incredibly encouraged by the rookie's performance under the circumstances. Finally, while the offense was a major letdown, the Titans defense and special team really came to play and that is a positive sign moving forward as the season is far from over.  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!5-Hour ENERGYTee up that trip!

Starting point is 00:00:00 Brian Callahan was a disaster against the Denver Broncos, but his press conference on Monday made him look entirely clueless. I'll tell you what he had to say on today's edition of Locked on Titan. 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 Fandul right now new customers can bet just

I want to tell you why it's not Cam Ward's fault that the Titans offense looks so bad. Also, there's a lot of positives to take in the other phases of the team that we need to discuss. Before we get into all of it, do want to thank you for making Locked on Titans, your first listen each and every day.

Starting point is 00:01:23 It's your team every day here on the Locked on Titans podcast. Speaking of every day, Shout out to my everydayers out there. Tune in Monday through Friday. Couldn't do it without you guys. If you aren't an everydayer, you need to be one. Obviously, there's a lot to discuss with the season starting now, and I'm going to keep you as up to date, as entertained, as informed as a Tennessee Titans fan could possibly be.
Starting point is 00:01:44 But with that being said, we do got to talk about clueless Brian Callahan and his confusing responses on Monday in his press conference. So first and foremost, we have to talk about the biggest controversy of them, And it's the elbow catch by Elyke-io Manor on the sideline would have been a 20-yard game would have been an explosive pass play Would have given the Titans a first down late in the game when they absolutely needed to get something going But Brian Callahan didn't challenge the play and I think what's most frustrating for me going back through the tape is you could see on the sideline
Starting point is 00:02:18 Amani hooker not a coach the Tennessee Titans safety Amani hooker is literally going to the referee and say he goes that's a catch and then he points to his elbow and he says his elbow is in and he points at the field Amani Hooker knew that rule on the field and not only did the Tennessee Titans head coach not know it but the guy that the Titans hired to be Brian Callahan spotter up in the booth
Starting point is 00:02:46 he didn't know it either and again that mistake in and of itself is embarrassing but I thought Brian Callahan embarrassed himself even more on Monday in his press conference. So his initial answer, when asked why he didn't challenge that or yesterday at the press conference, he said that he didn't get another foot in. Well, Brian, if you look at NFL rules, it says that if any body part
Starting point is 00:03:18 other than your hands and feet are in bounds, that's a catch. So, one butt cheek, one knee, one elbow, one shoulder. Any body part other than your hands or your feet is in bounds, it's a catch. And Callahan said, well, he didn't get one foot down with his one elbow. He did not know the rule. And then on Monday at the press conference, he was asked, and he said that he misinterpreted the rule, that that's his mistake, that he just, misunderstood the rule and to me that's an explanation.
Starting point is 00:04:00 Hey, I just didn't understand the rule. Now that's a terrible explanation for an NFL head coach who's getting paid millions and millions of dollars to lead a football organization at the highest level. That's a disgrace. But hey, I didn't know the rule. I should have challenged it. I didn't know the rule. And that's where he started.
Starting point is 00:04:19 And they asked, why didn't the guy upstairs tell you to challenge it? Did that guy not know the rule either? And Cali's like, I'm not gonna, you know, You know, he didn't want to throw whoever under the bus. He said, I should have known, I should have challenged. All right, cool. Understandable. Not happy about that.
Starting point is 00:04:33 But all right, at least you're honest. But then, later, at the end of the press conference, when he was kind of pushed about it again, Brian Callahan said that he did know the rule. That he does know that one elbow means that you're in. But then he said, the game was going so fast and things are moving at such a high pay. and I was trying to think of the next play call and it was a punt.
Starting point is 00:05:00 The next play call was a punt. What do you mean you're trying to think of the next play call? What are we talking about here? So it's just insane to me that Brian Callahan starts off by saying, I didn't know the rule my bad. I misinterpreted it. I misunderstood. And then by the end of the press conference,
Starting point is 00:05:16 he's starting to get defensive. And he's like, oh, he said, I've been in this league a long time. I know the rules. I know the rules. well clearly you don't he said at the end he said I misspoke yesterday
Starting point is 00:05:30 so did you not know the rule or did you misspeak which one is it you know what I mean like he said both things and talked out of both sides of his mouth during the press conference and that to me
Starting point is 00:05:46 we can talk about how angry that makes us and how frustrated that makes us but think about the players in the locker room Amani Hooker, part of a Titans defense that got four turnovers and generally made the Broncos' offense look awful for most of the game. Amani Hooker, a player on the team, knew that. So for the coach to say, I misinterpreted the rule, I didn't know it. And then change his opinion and say, no, I knew it, just things were moving too fast, that's my fault.
Starting point is 00:06:19 How frustrated do you think the players in the locker room have to be by that? not only on defense for wasting their performance, but the offensive players who desperately needed that play to be a real play for them. See, I want to throw back to my guy Brad Hopkins, the legend, the Titans legend who I do the squad show with. And Brad has said consistently to me when we've talked about Brian Callahan, coaches only get fired if they lose the locker room. Well, when Arden Key is in the locker room saying,
Starting point is 00:06:50 we've got to score more points. Like, yeah, the defense has to play better, but we got to score more points. We got four turnovers. We got to score more points. And when a Monty Hooker is on the sideline knowing the rules, and when the head coach is at the press conference, talking out of both sides of his mouth and won't take accountability, that is a quick way.
Starting point is 00:07:14 That's a turbo button to lose the locker room. Your defensive players don't trust you. all the players on your team don't think that you're prepared I'm just saying like if losing the locker room is what is going to actually get Brian Callahan fired well it's only week one but he's well on his way because there's a lot of players in there and I hate that everyone saying it's one week it's one week
Starting point is 00:07:38 this is week 19 for Brian Callahan this ain't week one it's week 19 and there are players in the locker room who were here last year and the incompetence that we saw last year and then to start the season this way, that is a quick way to lose the locker room
Starting point is 00:08:00 and for your players to lose faith in you. So, you know, and let me say this. A lot of you guys are saying fire Brian Callahan now, but that's not going to happen. Brian Callahan's not going to get fired anytime soon. I laid it out when the schedule came out, guys. Week 7 at home against the Patriots If Brian Callahan is 2 and 4
Starting point is 00:08:24 or looking more like 1 in 5 and you get beat down by Vrabel's Patriots to go to 1 and 6 then he's probably fired The buy week is in week 10 I believe week 10 or 11 if the Titans go into that 1 and 8 2 and 7 with embarrassing losses
Starting point is 00:08:47 Callahan will be fired he will be but remember as my guy Brad Hopkins the legend said coaches get fired when they lose the locker room so if this continues he is going to lose the locker room
Starting point is 00:09:00 and if we're doing a scouting report on Brian Callahan in my opinion the thing that he is worst at is motivation and leadership because his team is not responding to what he's preaching they preached all all season long about the penalties
Starting point is 00:09:15 the discipline. And then the very first opportunity they have, they come out and throw up 13 penalties and have as many penalty yards as they do offensive yards. The players at some point will stop listening to the message if they don't feel the coach can deliver. Now, I don't feel that that loss of confidence is going to come within the first month of the season, but it is definitely already started. And I said this before the year when we talked about why the Titans need to get off to a fast start because the lingering doubt from last year
Starting point is 00:09:47 will intensify if the same problems pop up this year. And guess what, week one, they're already back. Now, I just want to say this because a lot of you guys are saying to me, well, who should be the next coach? What will the Titans do? I mentioned it on yesterday's show. If the Titans fire Brian Callahan during the season,
Starting point is 00:10:08 I think his dad's going to go with him. I think Scott Fuchs, who's the assistant offensive line coach, the offensive line gig. Mike McCoy, Titan's senior offensive assistant who's been a head coach in the NFL. He will be the head coach. That way Nick Holes and DeNard Wilson
Starting point is 00:10:23 can just stay doing their job. And then at the end of the season, when the Titans go into their process to actually hire a new coach, I haven't done a ton of research on who I think would make sense, but just some names that come to mind. We mentioned John Gruden with the connective tissue
Starting point is 00:10:40 with Kansas City and Green Bay and Brinker and Borgonzi. although I think that's much less likely than some other names. I think Mike McCarthy would also be on a list to get a professional Super Bowl winning coach, who I thought did pretty good with the Dallas Cowboys, in my opinion. I think a guy like Joe Brady, who is in Buffalo right now with Josh Allen as their offensive coordinator,
Starting point is 00:11:03 who's been a highly sought after a guy would make sense. I think Cliff Kingsbury, who didn't do great in his first chance with Arizona, although he did go 11 and 5 and go to the playoffs his first year, but a guy who transformed Jaden Daniels immediately into an all-pro-level quarterback and had a great offense that centered on RPO and shotgun. I think that would fit great. And maybe in a second opportunity as a head coach, he'd be more prepared and ready to go.
Starting point is 00:11:28 I think those names make a lot of sense. Now, again, don't hold me to the fire on those names. I'm just saying those are the immediate names that pop up, and then Dernard Wilson. At some point, Dernard Wilson might get an opportunity to interview for the big boy job. I think he would get a chance in the all season so you know
Starting point is 00:11:47 it's just disappointing that we're right back and it feels like we're right back to where we were before but there are a couple things that I don't think are like last year and it has to start with Cam Ward who you pop on the tape, Cam Ward look great.

We talked about Brian Callahan's press conference and why his answer to the Elegio Manor challenge situation made me even less confident in him being able to retain the locker room, talked about some potential options, but again, I don't think that the Brian Callahan firing is going to come anytime soon. With that being said, though, Cam Ward was great in this game.
Starting point is 00:15:06 and I know that the dumbest person you know is going to say he went 12 for 28 with 112 yards no touchdowns and a fumble he was terrible he had a 7.4 QBR he was not look at the tape I went through the all 22 on Monday morning I put out my film breakdown on Cam Ward's best throws on the Ticktack Titans YouTube channel
Starting point is 00:15:31 make sure that you go check that out guys if you weren't pairing the Locked on Titans podcast with the TikTok Titans YouTube channel to get all the conversations that need to be had and then all the film study that you need to follow, what are you doing? Those two things together are all a Tennessee Titans fan could ever even need.
Starting point is 00:15:51 So make sure that you go check out my Cam Ward film breakdown but when you see it, you'll see that Cam Ward threw some dots, my friends, some absolute dots. It started on the very first play of the game. He showed us everything that we wanted to see and he didn't do the things that I was worried about. Now, was he perfect?
Starting point is 00:16:12 Absolutely not. Cam Ward was not perfect. There were a couple of throws. He was a little over on that throw to Tyler Lockett. There's a deep ball down the sideline to Ehrlich Iomman or down the left sideline where Cam threw the ball a little too wide and Elek didn't really have a chance to put a play on it. There are, you know, the throw to Chick-a-conquo over the middle
Starting point is 00:16:31 on the last drive of the game where it barely hit his fingertips. You could say it hit your hand, you should catch it. not on that one. That ball wasn't close. It was kind of similar to where Will Levis hit Kyle Phillips in his rookie season against the Steelers. You know, he's trying to force a seam route in
Starting point is 00:16:48 on a dagger concept and he was just a little too far inside. So Cam Ward had his fair share of misses. Certainly. But go through the tape. How many passes did Cam Ward throw that were absolutely pinpoint perfect that were either ruled in completions
Starting point is 00:17:04 because they were on the sidelines, and the guy couldn't make a play or because they were drops, the Titans had five or six drops. So if you add in those five or six drops, now Cam Ward is 18 for 28. Doesn't look near as bad. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:17:19 So like, and here, let me say this too. I was concerned because, again, we've had these conversations. I know that the national media and how the Titans are discussed on the big talk shows and all of that, that doesn't really matter to win. and losses. And there are some of you out there
Starting point is 00:17:37 that say, I don't care about all that stuff. I just want to see my team win on Sundays. But I'm sorry, but I do care. I do care whether the Titans get respect. I do care whether the Titans are covered properly. I do care whether people have a good understanding of what's actually going on with the Titans. And let me say this,
Starting point is 00:17:54 I'm pleasantly surprised that pretty much all the national media that I've seen, whether it's Dan Orlovsky on ESPN or it's Colin Cowherd It's some of the talking heads on Twitter that I like like a Sam Monson from pro football focuser I think he might be with 33rd team now, whatever. The general consensus out there is,
Starting point is 00:18:16 heck, I even talk to Kevin O'Connor about this who writes for Yahoo about the NBA, one of my favorite NBA content creators. Cam Ward was not the problem. Cam Ward looked awesome and everybody else let him down. Look at the throw on the sideline to Gunner Helm, which I still think probably should have been a catch
Starting point is 00:18:35 but they said he bobbled it before he got the second foot down whatever. That's a dart on the sideline on a corner route to the sideline. And then he hits Gunner Helm again on the same exact route on the other side for a completion
Starting point is 00:18:49 for a 20-yard game. He puts a ball down the left-hand sideline, not the one that was a little too far left, but down the left-hand sideline to Elicio Manor and it wasn't like Io did bad
Starting point is 00:19:02 or it wasn't a bad from Cam. There's a good play by Riley Moss from the Broncos. And it was broken up. But it was a dot. It went right to Ellick, right where it needed to be to give him a chance to get it. It just didn't work out. The throws to Calvin Ridley. I mean, we talked about
Starting point is 00:19:17 it yesterday. Cam Ward's dad is literally in the stands, bending over the handrails because he can't believe that Calvin Ridley dropped so many passes. Elic Iyo Manor had a slant that he dropped at one point in time. Cam made multiple plays with his legs
Starting point is 00:19:35 the very first play of the game Cam moves up in the pocket moves out of the way of the defender goes through a defender grabbing his shoulder pads looking like Air McNair baby and dumps it off to Tony Pollard for the Titans' biggest play of the game it was their only explosive play of the game
Starting point is 00:19:56 and then you have the one where he's fallen back into the end zone and he finds Calvin Ridley on 3rd and 13 to get a conversion. He showed us everything. He showed everything. You wanted to see. So, like, I'm just having a hard time
Starting point is 00:20:16 taking people serious who say that Cam Ward played poorly or Cam Ward didn't have a good game. Cam Ward played awesome. There were six, seven drops. He took six. Six sacks, and again, people tried to say it was Cam Ward's fault on a couple of those sacks. I broke down that tape.
Starting point is 00:20:38 The sacks were not his fault, especially on the one where the Titans got knocked out a field goal position after the muffed punt. That was not Cam Ward's fault. Brian Callahan ran two wheel routes down the sideline and two post routes that literally ran into each other over the middle of the field. No one was open and pressure got there right away. That's not Cam Ward's fault. That's a bad call and bad design by Brian Callahan. And it harkens back to when Kurt Warner broke down the tape of the Titans preseason game and was like, man, these routes are all messed up.
Starting point is 00:21:15 Why are they teaching the wide receivers to do this and that? And it goes back to Callahan doesn't know what he's doing. That, like, that's the reality. You ran posts and wheels against cover four, and then the next play, he runs a levels concept that's a zone beater where you, on the right-hand side of the field, you have a short guy, you have an intermediate guy, and Calvin Ridley's your deep guy.
Starting point is 00:21:40 It's a zone-beating concept, and the Broncos are in man. Well, I said before the game, the Broncos run 30% cover 1 on 3rd and short to long. From 3rd and 3rd and 15, the Broncos run 30% cover 1. number one. So why did you think you were getting zone anyway? And then there's nobody open. And Brian Callahan even said, maybe he could have got rid of the ball on the second down sack, but Tony Pollard
Starting point is 00:22:14 stayed in to help and Tony Pollard didn't get out quick enough to came word to dump the ball off to him. And then on the third one, he basically admitted the pressure was on him too fast from the left-hand side from his blind side. He couldn't do anything. And why are you running that sort of route combination? When you know that you just took a huge sack, Olli Udo is in the game at right tackle, they didn't help Oli Udo on either play, Tony Pollard helped on the inside with Cushenberry and score, instead of helping the backup offensive tackle you need to help. It just, it's all very perplexing. And again, I just think it's nuts to blame Cam Ward. And I saw somebody say
Starting point is 00:22:58 Cam Ward had a 32% off target throw rate in week one, the highest in the NFL. That's like, my guy Justin Mello said, that's like five out of 29 throws. So five of Cam Ward's throws weren't perfectly on target. And we're going to skew that as he didn't have a good game. Look at all the dots. He threw all over the place. Hitting Calvin Riddles. on a backside dig coming off his progressions and Calvin Ridley drops. You know, I just I just want to make sure
Starting point is 00:23:32 we're all on the same page here because this is the most exciting part of this game is, yeah, a lot of stuff on offense look terrible but Cam Ward looked like a guy and national people who typically would just crap on the Titans because it's easy to do and it's lazy analysis. No, all of these people are looking at it
Starting point is 00:23:51 and are like, wow, it's so bad on them. offense outside Cam Ward, I can't even pretend like he played bad. So, don't let the dumbest person you know tell you that Cam Ward didn't have a good game. You should be even more excited for Cam Ward after week one than you were coming into it. But with that being said, let's stay excited. Because the other two phases of the ball, defense and special teams, they were great in this game. Today's episode is brought to you by Fan.

Titans fans, let's continue and cap off today's edition. of the Locked-on Titans podcast.
Starting point is 00:25:53 We talked about Brian Callahan's press conference on Monday and why it was confusing and concerning and all of the other C-words that I could possibly think of. Cam Ward, though, was incredible, in my opinion. It wasn't a perfect game, but he showed everything that I wanted to see from him and was really let down by everything around him. But let's talk about some more positive stuff.
Starting point is 00:26:14 Let's keep it positive here, folks. The rest of the Titans look pretty dang good compared to last year. You go to the defense. The defense held Bow Nix to 25 for 40, 176 yards. Had a touchdown to Cortland Sutton there at the end, which is Brian Callahan's fault. The defense was ready to go to halftime.
Starting point is 00:26:37 Force two interceptions. Jeffrey Simmons gets the sack strip fumble. That's three turnovers from a Titans defense that could not force turnovers to save their life last year. DeNard Wilson emphasized turnovers, turnovers, turnovers, turnovers all year and unlike Brian Callahan's offense who couldn't do anything that they emphasized throughout the offseason the Titans defense came out and stood on business.
Starting point is 00:27:06 They said, we're getting more turnovers this year and that's exactly what they did. The defense played far in a way good enough to win this football game. In my opinion, the defense only really gave up 13 points. Brian Callahan gave the Broncos a free touchdown but regardless of that I thought the Titans defense did a very good job
Starting point is 00:27:30 they gave up those classic, you know, big runs in the fourth quarter after the offense continues to let them down and we had these conversations last year and I know that to some of you this is unsatisfactory but I don't really care if you're on defense these are human beings and Arden Key is after the game saying the offense has to convert on third downs
Starting point is 00:27:52 like we got to find a way to convert some third downs the defense knows what's happening we'll go back out there again man can we get anything like football is a symbiotic game you need all three phases to work together if you are a three-legged animal and one leg just wasn't working you're gonna have a hard time walking
Starting point is 00:28:15 when one leg is broken you're going to have a hard time getting much done now I don't know a lot of three-legged animals but just walk with me on that all right you know what I'm saying but the point is eventually these human beings who have emotions and passion
Starting point is 00:28:33 and care about what's going on it isn't mad they're not just going out there stone-faced ready to play up to their overall level you lose momentum momentum is so real don't listen to anybody who tells you that momentum is not a real thing in life, confidence, momentum, all that stuff is so real.
Starting point is 00:28:53 And to see the offense, do what it did last year and let down the defense early in the season, and then to come out here for the Titans defense to stand on business and get three turnovers and hold the Broncos offense down for the most part throughout most of the game, three and a half quarters, for that's, to happen and them get rewarded 0% by their offensive counterpart? Any, any rational, logical human being would be disappointed by that, would come out flat eventually, would be downtrodded, would be defeated by that.
Starting point is 00:29:35 And you can say, oh, they're professionals, they get paid, they should go, they're human beings. So I thought the defensive performance, barring the, you know, know, a couple of big runs that they gave up. I mean, J.K. Dobbins had six carries for 70 yards, but had 50 yards on one run. So that means five carries for 20 yards. Okay. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:29:59 And then, or that's R.J. Harvey. But J.K. Dobbins had 16 carries for 63 yards. That's 3.9 yards of carry. That's under 4 yards per carry. Cortland Sutland had the 22-yard touchdown. But other than that, that's five catches for 39 yards. The Titans defense played well in this game, and if you want to be encouraged and you want to be excited about the season going forward still,
Starting point is 00:30:29 which look, I'm frustrated with Brian Callahan. I hated what we saw out there from him. But the Titans defense did look improved. And the Titans special teams, if we want to talk about the biggest improvement, The Titans special teams was a weapon in this game. We talked about before the season not only do the Titans need to not be terrible on special teams
Starting point is 00:30:57 but they need special teams to be an advantage for them. You get a turnover on special teams. Chim D.K. looks awesome as a returner including the 71-yard return that set up the Titans for three extra points. half time. Four returns on kickoff for 144 yards, 36 yard average. Jim D.K., one punt return, but 12 yards. Not only did he catch the ball, but he made something happen. Joey Sly, four for four on field goals, 100%. The only points the Titan scored.
Starting point is 00:31:38 Hit a 50-yarder as well, right down the pipe. Johnny Hecker who he had concerns about coming into the season average 49.4 yards per punt that's 50 yards had a 65 yard punt old man Hecker
Starting point is 00:31:56 He down multiple punts inside the 20 when he had the opportunity Only one punt What I say was bad from Hecker Where he should have pinned them inside the 20 And it went out of the end zone The Titans special teams was way better than the Broncos special teams The Titans defense was just as good if not better
Starting point is 00:32:16 than the Broncos defense because they forced turnovers So again I know that everybody's mad I'm angry too about the game and how it played out But at the end of the day Cam Ward looked really good The defense looked majorly improved and the special teams was a weapon and I know that it's not
Starting point is 00:32:40 you know everybody's favorite to be excited right now but those three things right there make me feel very excited that the Titans can be an improved football team if Brian Callahan doesn't sabotage them throughout the season but with that being said that is going to do it for me today folks as always
Starting point is 00:32:57 I am your host Tyler Rowland and this was locked on Titans You know.
