Locked On Titans - Daily Podcast On The Tennessee Titans - Tennessee Titans Cam Ward CLUTCH FACTOR is REAL, Jeffery Simmons is BEST in NFL & Chim Dike Pro Bowl

Episode Date: October 6, 2025

The Tennessee Titans got a massive win over the Cardinals on Sunday and Cam Ward came up clutch. Ward has always displayed this clutch factor and it is a real thing fans should expect throughout his c...areer. Along with that, Calvin Ridley and the offensive line had a good performance too and those feel like real developments as well. On defense, Jeffery Simmons has played like the best interior defensive lineman in the entire NFL and that's something that is set to continue as well. Along with Simmons, L'Jarius Sneed had a great game and has been rounding into form as of late. On special teams, Chimere Dike leads the NFL in all-purpose yards through 5 weeks and is set to be a pro bowl returner as a rookie. Now, the Titans are set to get JC Latham back, Kevin Winston made his NFL debut and Gunnar Helm is getting more involved. These are all things to be excited about going forward. 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!Supply HouseJoin the free TradeMaster program today and score serious perks like priority shipping, lower prices, and a dedicated support line.

Starting point is 00:00:00 The Tennessee Titans win over the Arizona Cardinals was a little bit fluky, but Cam Ward's clutch gene is 100% real. I'm going to tell you what else was real from the Titans win 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, on today's show. I'm going to tell you what I think was real from the Tennessee Titans win over the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday.
Starting point is 00:00:44 I'm going to talk about why Chim D.K. is going to be a pro-bull returner as a rookie. Talk about why Jeffrey Simmons is the best defensive player in the NFL right now. And of course, tell you why Cam Ward's Clutch Gene is 100%. legit. Before we dive into all of it, do want to thank you for making the Locked-on Titans. Your first listen each and every day. Remember, 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-up to my everydayers out there. Tune in Monday through Friday. Couldn't do it without you
Starting point is 00:01:21 guys if you aren't an everydayer. Now is the perfect time to be one. The Tennessee Titans just got their first win. I got so much to discuss. There's a lot of season left. Get locked in with the Locked on Titans podcast. But with that being said, again, we have to acknowledge the reality here. That was a little bit of a fluke win against the Arizona Cardinals with the drop in the ball, the goal line, the interception, turn fumble, turn touchdown. A lot of crazy stuff happened in that game to give the Tennessee Titans the win. But I think there are a lot of things that did happen in that game
Starting point is 00:01:55 that are 100% real and that Titans fans should expect to continue throughout the rest of the season and throughout the next few years and throughout some of these guys' careers going forward and that starts obviously with Cam Ward and if you don't realize that Cam Ward is clutch if you don't realize that he has the clutch gene in his DNA if you don't realize by now that Cam Ward has ice in his veins I don't know what else you need to see
Starting point is 00:02:23 go back to his college tape go back to his college career to come from Incernate Word, to go to Washington State, to then go to Miami a big time program, and throughout the process, be able to step up, lead his team, and get the best out of everybody around him and himself. That is what clutch is, being in the most difficult situations
Starting point is 00:02:47 and being able to come out and do your best. That is what clutch is. And, I mean, how many games did we have to see at Miami last year where he brought his team back, where he got his team to the end and he was able to make the big time plays to win the game. I'll always remember that cow game where they go down huge.
Starting point is 00:03:06 He made a ton of bad mistakes throughout that game. A ton, the interception that he threw across his body was absolutely egregious. But it didn't matter. And that's what makes Cam Ward so special is that under the pressure, with all the scrutiny on him, all the odds stacked against him,
Starting point is 00:03:24 Cam Ward will still find a way to get the job done because he's calm he's cool, he's poised, he's collected at all times never too high, never too low he's a metronome at all times staying even keeled
Starting point is 00:03:40 ready to make the plays and that's what we saw I mean again a terrible first three quarters from Cam Ward and I encourage all of you who watch the show go check out the Ticktack Titans film channel
Starting point is 00:03:53 on YouTube I put out my 20 minute breakdown on Cam Ward's performance, and I showed the first three quarters of just garbage. Let's just call it what it is. Now, some of that's drops, but some of that is misread. Some of that is inaccurate passes. Some of that is hold the ball. It was not a good first 50 minutes for Cam Ward.
Starting point is 00:04:17 But again, he is not someone who is going to will under that pressure. Cam Ward isn't someone. isn't someone who's going to, oh man, I played so bad, I can't, he just keeps on going. Just keeps on going. It doesn't matter. Again, in the fourth quarter, 13 for 18, 193 yards. On the two-minute drive at the end to set up the game-winning field goal, five of six for 67 yards, including the 38-yarder to Calvin Ridley. Cam Ward's 193 fourth-quarter passing yards are the fourth-most-most-most-month by a rookie since 1978, according to the Tennessee Titans PR team.
Starting point is 00:04:59 That's the second most in a road game and the most in a win. No quarterback since 1978 has had that good of a fourth quarter and come back to win. And since 2000, according to the Titans PR team, Cam Moore joins Vince Young back in 2006 as the on Only NFL rookie quarterbacks to win a game in which they trailed by 15 or more points in the fourth quarter. And as a matter of fact, I think that Vince Young one, it was either the Houston or the Cardinals game, where he threw the pass to Kenny Britt.
Starting point is 00:05:38 Like, yes, it was ugly early. But being clutch and making plays at the end, no matter what happens, is who Cam Ward is. And the reality is, no NFL quarterback is perfect. There's no quarterback out there The best quarterbacks of all time That didn't throw multiple interceptions And have bad games and not win It's not about getting knocked down
Starting point is 00:06:03 It's about getting back up All right It's about how many hits you can take And continue to fight back Like that is what it's about That's why the saying goes Everybody's got a plan until they get punched in the mouth Because who you are
Starting point is 00:06:19 After you get punched in the mouth That's who you really are. And that's not just football, folks. That is your life. Because life isn't perfect. Life's never going to go perfect. What do you do when you get hit? Can you keep getting hit and keep moving forward?
Starting point is 00:06:37 That's what life is. And Cam Ward, whether the win was a fluke or not, Cam Ward's clutch gene is real. It is absolutely real. And I don't know what else that we have to see to understand. Now there are some other things on the offensive side of the ball that I think are absolutely real for this team and the number one thing is Calvin Ridley. Calvin Ridley got off to a slow start last year. He got off to a slow start this year but in the biggest moments and again we think about the 38-yard or down the right-hand sideline that Cam Ward completed on the two-minute drive but what about earlier in the fourth quarter when it's third and ten and Calvin Ridley runs a deep post route down the seam
Starting point is 00:07:26 and Camp throws a laser to him but it's not right here above the shoulders and it's kind of in the midsection area Calvin Ridley full speed plucks the ball out of the air literally plucks it with both hands, perfect hands catch not an easy ideal ball location but a perfect catch by Calvin Ridley and then Calvin Ridley makes the play
Starting point is 00:07:52 at the end on the two minute drum like this is the Calvin Ridley that we've been waiting for all year and I think Calvin Ridley is a guy in my opinion who can be mentally affected he gets down on himself he gets in his own head all of that
Starting point is 00:08:08 but all he needs is a little spark all he needs is a little bit a little bit of confidence back It's like going out and playing golf You're hitting a bunch of bad shots Today's not my day
Starting point is 00:08:24 You hit that one good drive And all of a sudden you feel it Now you're ready to go Now you're playing your best Calvin just needed something to click And that's exactly what happened in this game And I don't think that Calvin Ridley And I've been saying this all
Starting point is 00:08:40 Calvin Ridley isn't a top 10 elite wide receiver Not Jamar Chase Justin Jefferson He's not on that level but he's a tier two high tier three wide receiver in this league and he has been far from that through the first four weeks but seeing Calvin Ridley come out and have the performance that he had 100% absolutely needed it and listen again there's a lot more from this game that I think is real
Starting point is 00:09:07 including Jeffrey Simmons and the Tennessee Titans offensive line who I thought both had phenomenal games against the Cardinals Do you want to let you guys know that today's episode is brought to you by prize picks.

Starting point is 00:10:56 going over what I think was real from the Tennessee Titans win over the Arizona Cardinals I like to keep things open because I don't know what news is going to happen how things are going to go but tomorrow I'll probably take a look at what's not as real
Starting point is 00:11:09 because we do have to at some point kind of come back down to reality. But we're having fun today. The Titans won. Let's talk about all the things that are exciting again. Cam Ward is clutch. Calvin Ridley is ready to get back on track. I firmly believe that. But we also got to talk about this offensive line. Because another thing that I think is real from the Tennessee Titans victory over the Cardinals is the performance of the Tennessee Titans offensive line. Now here's a reality that we have to acknowledge. The Cardinals don't have the best pass rush in the
Starting point is 00:11:43 NFL. Josh Swett, pretty good player. Clayus Campbell, older, but a pretty good player. I think Barron Browning is a pretty good player as well. I wanted Baron Browning and free agency. I don't know if it was last all season or the offseason before, but the Cardinals pass rush isn't elite by any means. But this Tennessee Titans offensive line, especially throughout the last few years, has struggled even against non-elite pass rushes. So if the Titans' offensive line has a great, great game, there is no way that I'm going to accept people to be like, oh, well,
Starting point is 00:12:18 the Cardinals, no, get out of here with that. The Titans' offensive line was awesome in this game. Point blank, period, full stop, no qualifiers, they were awesome. And they had the lowest pressure rate that they've given up all season, according to next gen stats, 23% pressure rate. The Titans had a cumulative 44% pressure rate through the first month of the season. Drop down to 23%. Cam Ward dropped back 42 times
Starting point is 00:12:56 and next-gen stats say he was only pressured on 10. Now, if you look at pro football focus, they only have five pressures registered against Cam Ward. Five. Peter Skoronsky and Kevin Zitler shutouts. Zero pressures, zero sacks. I mean, even Ali Udo
Starting point is 00:13:20 only allowed about three pressures. Cushingberry had one pressure, zero sacks, was the highest graded pass or highest graded offensive linemen on the day. Both Zitler and Peter Skoronsky had an 89.1 pass blocking grade per pro football focus. Literally close to profession.
Starting point is 00:13:40 This offensive line has gotten better and better and something that I said over the last couple of weeks and there were comments in there like, you're dumb dude, this offensive line is trash, blah, blah, blah, blah. I see it. All right, all right, all right. But something I've been saying for weeks, I've said it on the squad show.
Starting point is 00:14:03 I've set it in the tape breakdowns on the Tick-Tac Titans channel. Again, go over there for my Cam Ward film breakdown I'm going to have a ton of content this week over there breaking down the film we have the conversations about everything here get smarter and watch the film but
Starting point is 00:14:18 I said it this offensive line is playing better than people realize this offensive line is playing better than what the casual fan wants to believe a lot of these sacks the 17 sacks that the Titans gave up in the first four weeks a lot of those sacks
Starting point is 00:14:38 weren't on offensive linemen. They were running backs. They were tight ends. They were coverage sacks where no one's getting open. They were Cam Ward holding the ball too long, fishing for a bigger play. Not taking the checkdown.
Starting point is 00:14:55 Out of those 17 sacks, probably five or six of them were on Cam Ward. If we're being honest. And at least three or four were on tight ends and running backs. like I'm not saying that the offensive line has played great through the first four weeks of the season but it wasn't as bad as it seemed
Starting point is 00:15:15 and now we're seeing things start to gel as Cam Ward gets more comfortable starts to get the ball out of his hands quicker like he did in the second half against the Cardinals as the offensive line starts to settle and understand each other as the Titans get healthier on the offensive line that matters Zytler back in, Zitler was
Starting point is 00:15:38 incredible. Incredible in the game. Watching the tape on Monday morning, I even tweeted before the grades were out, Zytler's got to be the highest-graded Titans offensive lineman. Like, he's just absolutely incredible. Moving bodies in the run game too. It ended up being Lloyd Cushingberry by a smidgen, but Zytler was number three right behind him.
Starting point is 00:16:01 I mean, it was impressive stuff It really was And this offensive line And let's add more context Because they played The Broncos The Rams The Texans
Starting point is 00:16:17 Those are three of the top five Defensive lines in the entire NFL Up there with like the Eagles Like those are great D lines So the Titans struggled with those but outside of Max Crosby the Raiders don't have some incredible defensive line
Starting point is 00:16:37 the Patriots have some good players like Harold Landry, Milton Williams but you know, the Titans have a chance here to continue this success and I think it is real and I think you get J.C. Latham back in the lineup and the Titans' offensive line is going to be even better.
Starting point is 00:16:55 There isn't going to be an obvious weak spot and you're going to take your worst offensive linemen on a week-to-week basis, and Ali Udo, who still had a good game on Sunday. I'm not hating on Ali Udo, but he is a backup. You're going to replace your worst offensive lineman with potentially your best, or at minimum, your second best offensive lineman
Starting point is 00:17:13 behind Peter Skoronsky and Latham. So, very excited about what can happen there with the O-line. But staying in the trenches, Jeffrey Simmons. I mean, I've said it. for weeks and weeks now. It's continued to be true.
Starting point is 00:17:35 There has been no slowdown. Jeffrey Simmons is the best interior defensive linemen in the entire NFL. It's not hyperbole. It's not because I'm a Titans fan. None of that's real. It is real. Look at this. Going into Sunday night football and Monday night football.
Starting point is 00:17:54 I haven't gone back to look after Sunday night football. but I doubt anybody after watching that game I don't think anybody is making this wrong Jeffrey Simmons had the second most pressures of any player in the NFL on Sunday including Thursday night football
Starting point is 00:18:15 he had eight pressures by himself I mean in the first game of the year he had like 10 in the game last week he had like seven this dude is freaking out look at the list Aiden Hutchinson had 12 for Detroit
Starting point is 00:18:32 against Cincinnati. Oh my God, 12 Jesus but then Simmons was number 2 with 8 Nick Benito from Denver had 6 Jonathan Granard from Minnesota had 6 Dante Fowler from Dallas had 6 Al-Qaeda Mahama
Starting point is 00:18:49 from Detroit had 6 man they really put it on the Bengals offensive line didn't they Devin Azaraku the rookie from Dallas had 6 all of those players that I just mentioned what do they have that's different than Simmons their edges they're all edges
Starting point is 00:19:06 they're not interior defensive linemen where it's harder to get pressures Jeffrey Simmons is going nuts and my guy Will Lomas from Titan-sized put out a great tweet on Monday morning no defensive tackle
Starting point is 00:19:20 has more sacks than Jeffrey Simmons three and a half no defensive tackle has more tackles for loss than Jeffrey Simmons, 6. No defensive tackle has more solo tackles than Jeffrey Simmons, 16. No defensive tackle has more pressures than Jeffrey Simmons. He has been an absolute all-pro defensive player of the year player so far. And folks, I am here to tell you that's as real as can be.
Starting point is 00:19:50 That is Jeff Simmons. What an animal he has been so far this year. But there's a lot more from this game, I think, is real on defense and on special teams. And we got some stuff to be excited about going forward. Do want to let you guys know that today's episode is brought to you by Mazda. Mazda crafts cars for those who do more than simply move. Mazda delivers confidence with every ride with more I-IHS top safety pick awards than anyone else as of August 2025.

Titans fans, let's cap off today's edition of the Locked on Titans podcast
Starting point is 00:21:34 going over what I think is real from the Tennessee Titans somewhat fluky win against the Arizona Cardinals. We talked about Cam Ward's clutch gene. We talked about Calvin Ridley being ready to roll. We talked about Jeffrey Simmons and the offensive line being awesome in that game and how I think that's going to continue. But now we've got to talk about some other players. that I think played absolutely fantastic
Starting point is 00:21:56 and can't continue to play fantastic going forward before I continue though do want to thank you again for making Locked on Titans your first listen each and every day there's a reason this has been the number one Tennessee Titans podcast for multiple seasons now all right get locked in
Starting point is 00:22:11 with Locked on Titans at your team every day but staying on defense once again Cedric Gray Cedric Gray man He's running around everywhere He's making a bunch of tackles
Starting point is 00:22:28 Brian Callahan talked about Cedric Gray in his press conference on Monday Said he's been so impressive Not only is he playing almost all the snaps on defense He's playing a ton of special team snaps And making plays there Making blocks, making tackles He has been incredible
Starting point is 00:22:43 And after last week's breakout performance That I broke down on tape If you miss that, go to the Tick-Tact Titans film channel. My Cedric Gray breakdown from last week is out. 17 total tackles, 11 solo. Made big-time plays. And in this game, I think the Titans would be lost without Cedric Gray.
Starting point is 00:23:03 The reality is Cody Barton has not played well. And again, my guy Will Lomas has been saying funny stuff. He said, Cody Barton runs like he has glass in his shoes. And I understand what he's saying, agree. Cody Barton has been slow and he's not getting downhill. He's not being aggressive to attack the ball. Really
Starting point is 00:23:26 look slow out there, if I'm honest with you. But you know who doesn't look slow? Cedric Gray. My boy. Cedric, my boy. He's been great. He's been great. And the violence that he plays with
Starting point is 00:23:42 and the ferocity that he plays with is it ferociousness? I don't know. Whatever, we don't have time for it. You guys know what I'm saying. But just the intensity that he's playing with and the urgency, the way he's getting downhill,
Starting point is 00:23:57 the way he's attacking ball carriers, the way he's attacking blocks and taking them on, whether it's a tight end or a pulling offensive lineman. Like, he is just playing with such violence right now. Again, I think the Titans would be screwed without him. And there's a specific example, which I put a clip up of out on Twitter at Ticktack Titans,
Starting point is 00:24:17 you can follow me there. I do just a little clip, stuff that I'm not going to do film breakdowns on during the week, but that I want to put out there because they're fun, like Kevin Winston on special teams, absolutely headhunting people.
Starting point is 00:24:28 It was awesome. But there was a clip, I was talking to Lomas again about, you know, Cody Barton, and I was like, there was a play on Sunday that I remember seeing where Cody Barton was chasing a ball carrier
Starting point is 00:24:42 and he was not going to catch him. And all of a sudden it's like, you know, watching an old vehicle and then watching a Ferrari go by. It's like Cody Barton is slowly trugging along trying to get to the ball carrier and he's not getting there. And Cedric Gray comes from way behind him with elite speed and runs down the ball carrier and makes the tackle.
Starting point is 00:25:03 And it was late in the game and if the ball carrier would have got loose and got free and got a first down, Titans probably don't win. But Cedric Gray came flying past Cody Barton and made the tackle. And it's just like, if the Titans didn't have that youth and athleticism and that speed
Starting point is 00:25:19 at the linebacker position, they would be in trouble because Cody Barton is not playing well and he does look like he has glass in his cleats and he just doesn't want to put his foot down on the pedal. You know what I mean? And I don't know if that gets better anytime soon. That probably doesn't get better. But Cedric Gray playing as well as he is,
Starting point is 00:25:38 I think that's real and I think that's going to continue. And I know that he gave up the big huge play to Nico Collins, last week. But Legerius Sneed has been playing much better football, and he was awesome in this game. Third highest graded defender, or second highest graded defender per pro football focused behind Jeffrey Simmons was Legerius Sneed.
Starting point is 00:26:01 Sneed locked it down. And not only did he play great coverage, he only gave up one catch that I remember seeing it was to Marvin Harrison Jr. on a curl route, and Marvin Harrison Jr. pushed off like a mug. It should have been offensive pass interference. And the entire Titan's sideline is screaming for it. Legerius Sneed screaming, it was a clear push-off
Starting point is 00:26:23 on a sit-down route at about 15 yards. Other than that catch, they didn't even go after Legerius Sneed. They wanted no problems, big fella. They wanted nothing to do with Sneed. They're going to go after Jalen Omar Davis all day. We don't even want to mess with Legerius Sneed. He locked down his side.
Starting point is 00:26:45 more often than not. And Marvin Harrison Jr. was going crazy at the beginning of the game. He had like 100 yards in the first quarter. What happened after? Where'd Marvin Harrison go? He, poof. Disappeared. Brian Callahan even said it in his press conference on Monday.
Starting point is 00:27:05 We started putting Legerius over there a little bit. And then you add in. Sneed, putting pressure on Demarcato, forcing the fuck, not force. the fumble, but I think that pressure might have had something to do with it. And I keep saying on Twitter, like, why don't we all just Mandela affect this thing and act like Ligerius Sneed physically forced the fumble with the punch?
Starting point is 00:27:28 Why not? For the vibes, man. For the vibes. Why not? You know what I mean? Sneed forced the fumble. Let's do it, you know? But I also want to say,
Starting point is 00:27:38 there were a couple of run stops that happened late in the game where the Titans defense got a stop to get the ball back to the Titans' offense that helped them win the game where Legerius Sneed is coming up and hitting people and making tackles and being physical. This is not a guy who got his money and quit. I was hard on Sneed at the beginning of the season.
Starting point is 00:27:59 I was hard on Sneed the entire offseason. But I can't do anything but give that guy credit for the way that he's played. And yes, giving up the second and 59 to Nico Collins was a disaster and it can't happen. but outside of that play
Starting point is 00:28:19 Sneed hasn't been too hateful and he was good in this game not only not hateful he was good and I think a guy who missed a lot of time rehabbing for multiple injuries new team I think that it is real I think that Legerius Sneed
Starting point is 00:28:44 is going to continue to play well and I want to see it continue the Raiders don't have any elite wide receiver that I'm worried about Jacoby Myers is a good player but it's Jacoby Myers
Starting point is 00:28:59 you know what are we talking about it's not Nico Collins okay it's not Cortland Sutton or anything like that or Pooka or Devante Adams so I think Steve's going to keep it up I think it is real
Starting point is 00:29:14 And then the last thing that I want to mention here is on special teams. Tweet by Wes Whistley but pointed out that Chim Dike currently leads the entire NFL in all-purpose yards with 783. That's 114 more
Starting point is 00:29:39 than the next closest player. Chim D-K and that's with a huge punt return touchdown off the board from a stupid penalty in week two. Chim Dike looks like he is going to be the pro bowl returner in the AFC so far. And that's real. I mean, it's been five weeks in every single week.
Starting point is 00:30:03 Chim Dike makes a huge play on special teams. 66 yard return in this one.
