Locked On Titans - Daily Podcast On The Tennessee Titans - Tennessee Titans LACK of LEADERSHIP EXPOSED by Cam Ward & Jeffery Simmons After Ugly Loss to Jaguars

Episode Date: December 1, 2025

The Tennessee Titans have a massive leadership issue and while most could tell you that already, the issue was spotlighted in a major way by the Titans top players after their embarrassing loss to the... Jacksonville Jaguars. Cam Ward, Jeffery Simmons and Arden Key all head eyebrow-raising comments after the game that prove how desperate this team is for a galvanizing force. Many onlookers came out of Sunday's game frustrated with Ward's performance and it wasn't his best, but the weekly declarations on whether Ward is or isn't a franchise quarterback are exhausting. Mostly because Ward has already shown enough in this situation to inspire confidence. Finally, it has been a tough season for Titans fan. Not only because of the Titans losses, but because of the public shaming Titans fans seem to take every week in the NFL. Tyler simply vents about how hard it is to be a fan of this team right now. 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!Aura FramesFor a limited time, save on the perfect gift by visiting https://AuraFrames.com to get $35 off Aura’s best-selling Carver Mat frames - named #1 by Wirecutter - by using promo code LOCKEDON at checkout. FanDuelIf you want to be right in the middle of the action this season, visit FanDuel.com and place your NFL livebets all season long.  PrizePicksDownload the PrizePicks app today and use code LOCKEDONNFL to get $50 in lineups after you play your first $5 lineup.Click Here: https://prizepicks.onelink.me/LME0/LOCKEDONNFLGametimeDownload the Gametime app, create an account, and use code LOCKEDONNFL for $20 off your first purchase.

Starting point is 00:00:00 The Tennessee Titans biggest issue is a lack of leadership. And if you don't believe me, the Titans' most important players tried to tell you on Sunday. I'll tell you what they had to say 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 Fandual. New customers can bet just $5.
Starting point is 00:00:43 And if your bet wins, you'll get $300 in bonus bets to use across the app on today's show. I'm going to tell you why the Titans' biggest problem is clearly a lack of leadership. And again, if you don't believe me, I'll let Jeffrey Simmons and Cam Ward tell you for themselves. Also, I am not writing this emotional Cam Ward roller coaster every single week. I'll tell you why I'm not getting on board and I'll tell you what I saw on tape after breaking down the film of Cam's tough day against the Jags. Also, I got to have a little Roland's rant to end the show just venting about what it's been like to be a Tennessee Titans fan this season.
Starting point is 00:01:19 Before we get into all of that, do want to thank you for making Lockdown Titans your first listen each and every day. And thank you for making the Lockdown Podcast Network, the number one sports podcast network. Remember, Monday through Friday, daily Tennessee Titans coverage all year round, always for free.

Starting point is 00:01:39 It's your team every day. Speaking of every day, shout it 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. But again, the Tennessee Titans biggest problem, by far, the biggest problem that this organization has, I don't even mean the football team
Starting point is 00:01:57 I don't even mean the roster of players I mean as a football organization from the top down the problem is the Tennessee Titans do not have leadership They do not have a North Star They do not have someone that can drive them forward Now could Cam Ward eventually be that player I certainly think that Cam Ward can be that guy but he's a rookie quarterback
Starting point is 00:02:21 He was never going to be the number one leader in the organization from day one. He could be a leader to the players. But the Titans need an adult in the room who can drive this franchise to where it's supposed to be. And I know right now a lot of you what you're going to say is
Starting point is 00:02:42 this is the crux of the Vrable mistake. Mike Vrable may not be Sean McVeigh. He may not be Mike McDonald on defense. He may not be the scheme lord that some of these other coaches around the NFL are. That is a clear flaw in the Mike Vrable experience. But what Mike Vrable did do well, what Mike Vrable did provide as a head coach,
Starting point is 00:03:07 quite frankly, is exactly what the Tennessee Titans are missing right now. So you could, you could make the argument that losing games with a bad roster would have at least been better under Mike Vrable because you had a leader all along and once the roster got better, you had a coach that was capable of leading the team through that dark period and getting them back to the light.
Starting point is 00:03:30 Whether you believe that or not, that's up to you individually. But if you're somebody who thinks fire in Mike Vrable was a massive mistake, that is the argument. Is the Titans still would have lost games with Mike Vrable, but you knew once the roster was better that Mike Vrable could win games and provide that leadership. So that's the argument there. But again,
Starting point is 00:03:54 to admit that what Mike Vrable does best is what the Titans are missing desperately right now. And you go to some of the quotes that we heard from some of the Tennessee Titans players after this game. And again, if you don't want to believe me in my analysis of what we're seeing here, then listen to what the players are saying. All right, listen to this quote from R&K and I got to give a shout out to East and Freeze from A Disney Sports who wrote a great article with all of these quotes. in them. So you guys can go read that article. I think it's worth reading the perspective
Starting point is 00:04:29 there. But again, just the quotes. Arden Key said something weird. He was asked about this game against the Jags. And he said, a lot, quote, a lot happened. Some stuff
Starting point is 00:04:45 I really can't talk about because I'll get in trouble. But it definitely was a lot of things that happened today. We just have to look at the film and see about it. And he was asked if what he was talking about was the back and forth with the Jaguars players. And he said, quote, no, not that, none of that, just some extra, I can't speak on it. But yeah, there's definitely some extra things going on.
Starting point is 00:05:12 And then Jeffrey Simmons was asked about that. And he said, quote, we need to figure something out. I mean, we got five games left for sure. We got to figure it out. I mean, once we figure it out, once we get through this season, I mean, we got to do some self-reflecting. And whoever comes in here to be this head coach, we need somebody who's going to lead this football team.
Starting point is 00:05:37 I mean, that's it. We got to figure it out. And they asked him if he is directly talking about who is going to replace Mike McCoy, and he said, yeah, I mean, that's it. I mean, I was kind of shocked when I saw Jeffrey Simmons say that. From Orden Keyes thing, talking about the Titans,
Starting point is 00:06:04 he's not talking about the Jags, he's saying some stuff happened. I can't talk about it. I'll get in trouble. And Jeffrey Simmons is saying, yeah, I mean, like, we need a leader, man. We need somebody who's going to lead this team. I'm sorry, but I'm going to connect the dots on that.
Starting point is 00:06:20 And there is a problem with the coaching, staff not holding players accountable behind the scenes whether it's late to meetings whether it's not doing their prep work whether it's not being locked in on their rehab whether it's not being focused on the film work Jeffrey Simmons is a player who has been in a locker room where accountability actually was real Jeffrey Simmons has been in a locker room where nonsense won't be tolerated and whether you talk about the Jarvis brownlee junior trade in the comments about that whether you talk about the rumors about Tavondre's sweat, saying he may not be locked in behind the scenes,
Starting point is 00:06:56 they may be interested in and traded him. Whether you look at this kind of quote from Jeffrey Simmons and Arden Key like, hey, some stuff happened behind the scenes here. We need a leader. That is telling you, in my opinion, Mike McCoy is not holding this team accountable. And then Camp Ward directly challenging Mike McCoy's leadership and saying, yeah, we're one in ten.
Starting point is 00:07:19 Why would we not go for it on fourth down? which I'm with Cam Ward, what the heck are we doing? To me this all comes down to Mike McCoy is a substitute teacher. All of you guys that have ever gone to school, whether you're in first grade, you went to college. When you have a substitute teacher, are you on your P's and Q's? Are you locked in? No. You're lax. You're getting away with what you can. And what's the substitute teacher doing? Yeah, you've all had those hardcore subs trying to prove it.
Starting point is 00:07:56 But most substitute teachers, they're a glorified study hall monitor. That's what Mike McCoy is right now. He's a study hall monitor. Hey, quiet down over there. Hey, Jimmy, stop that. Oh, you need to go to the restroom. Okay, go ahead. Here's the pass.
Starting point is 00:08:13 He's not leading. He's not developing. He's not coaching. He's not holding guys accountable. He doesn't want confrontation. he's an old man who doesn't have and I told you this when he was hired
Starting point is 00:08:25 as the interim head coach I would have preferred Bones Fossil because I think he could have actually inspired but I think that Bones Fossil said no I'm not doing it and they went to Mike McCoy and they said we're going to give you a significant pay raise to do this job
Starting point is 00:08:43 because nobody wants to do this job and he said I mean I don't really want to do the job but if you're going to offer me that I gotta say yes. And that was the whole point. They made him an offer he couldn't refuse so that they didn't have to continue searching for options in the building.
Starting point is 00:08:59 And he is coaching like a substitute teacher. Yeah, I guess. Hey, quiet down over there. Stop that. He's not cracking the whip. He's not holding guys a guy. He's not making sure that they're on time for meetings
Starting point is 00:09:14 or they're acting serious in film study or they're taking walkthrough serious before the game. That is what Jeffrey Simmons and Arden Key are telling you is there are things going on behind the scenes where we need leadership Guys aren't holding people accountable and we can talk about hey the players need to be the leaders Jeffrey Simmons needs to be a leader cam ward needs to be a leader You're right about that but if you don't have a true head coach the boss the manager Holding everyone accountable It's gonna be impossible for other players to hold each other accountable especially when you're 1 and 10 because you don't have the result
Starting point is 00:09:49 on the field to say, hey, do it the way that I'm telling you to do it and we will win. So you're asking way too much of Cam Ward and Jeffrey Simmons to be the leader that the head coach is supposed to be for this team. So again, these comments, will we ever know what exactly they're talking about? Probably not. But it is clear to have Jeffrey Simmons outright say the next head coach. I'm not even giving Mike McCoy a chance. Jeffrey Simmons, no, Mike McCoy has no chance to be the head coach of this team
Starting point is 00:10:22 and shouldn't have any chance to be the head coach of this team. He is literally saying with five games left, the next head coach needs to be a leader. That is such a criticism, a damnation of Mike McCoy. And the rookie quarterback, the rookie quarterback is begging the head coach to be more aggressive and understand the situation that they're in this year and try to go out and play. Give them a shot.
Starting point is 00:10:47 and they won't do it. Again, like I said a couple of weeks ago, it makes you wonder whether Mike McCoy is simply doing as he was told to do and losing these games. Either way, what the Titans need and their head coaching search,
Starting point is 00:11:05 as sad as it is to admit it, they need a true leader like they had in Mike Vrable. With that being said, though, Cam Ward struggled in that game against the Seattle Seahawks, but I'm not riding this. Cam Ward coaster every week of, oh, he's great, he's a bust, he's great, he's a bust.
Starting point is 00:11:22 I'm simply not going to do it and you guys shouldn't do it either.

Titans fans, let's continue today's edition of the Locked-on Titans podcast. We talked about the Tennessee Titans leadership issues. They're starting to bubble over the top for the Titans
Starting point is 00:12:58 and what they need to do going forward. But now we need to talk about Cam Ward. Alright, because I am not riding this emotional Cam Ward roller coaster with half of the fan base every single week. The two weeks before this week, Cam Ward played good. Top 10 in QBR, top 5 in QBR, really looked good, took a step forward, had some growth, all of that.
Starting point is 00:13:24 For most of you guys, oh, Cam Ward's better than we thought. Oh, glad he's finally starting to show things. Bubba, blah, blah, blah. This guy's a franchise quarterback. And just immediately as a bad game happens, Cam Ward's a bust. This guy ain't it. This guy isn't the answer.
Starting point is 00:13:43 Bubba, blah, blah, blah. Time to go back to Levis next year. And I just, I'm not doing it every week. I'm not doing it. It's absurd. It's childish. It's reactionary. It's immature.
Starting point is 00:13:54 Like, you can't every single week use that game as the determining factor for who a player is going to be throughout the rest of his career. And if Cam Ward had played four bad games in a row like he played on Sunday, and you want to say, hey, we've seen enough now. It's not good. I still think you're being ridiculous, quite honestly. But even with that,
Starting point is 00:14:25 you would have more of a leg to stand on than Cam Ward playing top 10 quarterback play in the NFL for two weeks against the top two defenses in the NFL and then having a bad game against Jacksonville's heavy zone defenses that took away everything and then say that Cam Ward's a bust. Like this up, and Kevin Winston, Kevin Winston. Winston played pretty well the last couple of games.
Starting point is 00:14:48 Didn't play very good in this game. Had a very good first drive, though. And all of a sudden, Kevin Winston's a superstar. He's going to be great. He's a great player. Mike Borgonzi. He hit on the butt. But then he had a bad finish.
Starting point is 00:14:59 And now Kevin Winston's a bum. Cut him. This guy ain't the answer. Need a new safety. What a wasted pick. Like, it's just so immature. It's so microwave brain that I can't take it. I can't engage in conversations about Cam Ward because it's such a toxic conversation at all times
Starting point is 00:15:19 because people just want to take what they just saw for three hours and say here is a big bold proclamation on the future and what things are going to be. Cam Ward is 12 games into his NFL career and a third of those games, a third of those games, he's been pretty good. And you add that to the situation the Cam Ward is in right now.
Starting point is 00:15:52 And I'm going to do a Cam Ward film breakdown this week going over the six bad plays that I thought he had six. I had six bad plays. Maybe seven. But like, I just can't. take the just complete knee-jerk reactionary response to everything we see.
Starting point is 00:16:21 And quite frankly, I have already seen enough from Cam Ward to be happy about riding with Cam Ward the rest of the way. I have seen the incredible flashes of arm talent. I've seen the incredible flashes of playmaking ability. I have seen Cam Ward read defenses, go through progression, I have seen him have good games. I've seen him have bad games but we have seen the flashes of the talent that makes him the number one quarterback and over the last two weeks everybody has been drooling about the throws that Cam Ward is making and then he has one bad game against the Jags here after two really really good games and now all of a sudden we're back to he's a bust he's terrible what a terrible job and again the circumstances that he is working in and that's a what I was getting ready to tell you guys.
Starting point is 00:17:14 When I do my Cam Ward film breakdown, I have eight or nine plays, and I had five or six from last week where it's like, this offense is fundamentally broken from a coaching standpoint. There was no one open on seven or eight of these critical must-pass situations. Third downs, fourth downs, second and longs,
Starting point is 00:17:40 must-pass pressure downs. there's no one open. There's no one there. I had Cam Ward with three misses where he missed a guy who I thought he should have thrown it to and three off-target throws. Three bad throws and three times where he missed a guy.
Starting point is 00:18:00 Six bad plays. With the worst wide receiver group in the NFL, the worst offensive coaching in the NFL. and you want me to act like Cam Ward is a bust and the Titans need a new quarterback and this thing's already over
Starting point is 00:18:24 and pack up the tank, call the fight. Again, it's the Cam Ward coaster and I'm not going to write it. I'm not going up and down. There is practically nothing that can happen the rest of this season that will have me out on Cam Ward. He would have to do something off the field
Starting point is 00:18:42 despicably bad or whatever. Like we have seen what we wanted to see this year. We've seen it. And the circumstances around Cam Ward and the supporting cast around Cam Ward are even worse than we expected. So I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:19:02 I just, I'm not sorry, not sorry. I'm not going to ride the emotional roller coaster every single week and go back and forth. This is about progression. It's about stacking forward. It's not about one good game, you're good, one bad game, you're bad. I tried to tell you guys yesterday. Justin Herbert looked garbage against this Jacksonville defense.
Starting point is 00:19:25 Because when this Jacksonville defense is rolling, they're a very good defense with their match principles. And again, like I told you, I had three missed throws, three bad decisions where he missed, or three missed guys, three bad throws. Six bad plays for Cam Ward. And I have seven or eight where no one is open, because Jacksonville has just covered everything. And Jacksonville runs heavily zone,
Starting point is 00:19:47 and they run match zone principles, where it starts out as zone, and as the routes declare, it turns into man. And the Titans kept spamming the same concepts that they spam over and over and over as one of the most simple and rudimentary offenses in the NFL, and Jacksonville was ready for it every single time.
Starting point is 00:20:12 Yesterday's loss was an organizational loss. Yesterday's loss was a leadership loss. It wasn't Cam Ward's terrible, that's why the Titans lost. Cam Ward couldn't make the coaches stay with the run game. Cam Ward couldn't make the Titans stay in heavy personnel where they were pushing Jacksonville around. It's not Cam Ward's fault, the Titans abandoned the run. It's not Cam Ward's fault.
Starting point is 00:20:39 The Titans call the same route concepts over. and over and over like dagger over the middle of the field that Jacksonville wrapped up entirely. Cam Ward didn't play awesome but the issues that caused this team to lose on Sunday are far greater than Cam Ward's performance which wasn't great but it was far from his worst game of the year. I'm sorry. I'm not doing the emotional Cam Ward roller coaster
Starting point is 00:21:07 and I'm not going to come on here and act like the tape was worse than what it actually was. It's just not as bad as the emotional overreaction that we have from the fan base every single Sunday. Cam Ward is a franchise quarterback. Get out of here. That's all I got to say about that.
Starting point is 00:21:26 But with that being said, I do just got a vent as a Tennessee Titans fan. Gather around folks. It's time for a little Titans therapy session.

Starting point is 00:22:57 Terms and conditions. Apply. Titans fans let's cap off today's edition of the Locked on Titans podcast Look the day after the game I like to just hit all the big talking points What is the fan base talking about? What is the biggest topic that we're all discussing and at the end of the day I think it should be those comments coming out of the locker room
Starting point is 00:23:33 and the leadership issues the Titans have why people need to chill out on the camboard overreactions week to week but I do just got to talk about how bad it's been to be a Titans fan this year, especially coming off that Sunday night football game where Traylin Burks catches one of the greatest touchdown catches you'll ever see from Marcus Mariotta. Like, what in the world? Okay, and then Monday night football,
Starting point is 00:24:00 some of you guys are listening to this on Monday night. I record on Monday evenings or Monday afternoons, as you guys probably know the schedule right now of how this works, but some of you are going to download the podcast on Tuesday morning and listen to that, and that Monday night football game will already happen. But in that Monday night football game, you're going to have Jackson Dart,
Starting point is 00:24:18 I think Darts back. And you're going to have Mike Vrable's New England Patriots probably going to 11 and 2. And having the number one seed in the AFC. And again, I just, man, what a terrible year to be a Titans fan. Again, I just got a vent, man. It's just a fan. Watching this team on Sunday is only half of the reason that it's so, so bad.
Starting point is 00:24:45 What a kick in the teeth every single week to Tennessee Titans fans. And again, it's not just how bad the Titans are. This is the worst Tennessee Titans team I have ever seen. 25, 26 years of being a fan. This is the worst team I've ever seen. This is the worst coaching experience I've ever experienced. Period. period.
Starting point is 00:25:07 So that is the base of the anguish of Titans fans this year as the team is terrible, they're uninspiring, they're not enjoyable, they're not exciting, it is not fun to watch the Tennessee Titans play football. So that in itself makes for a tough time. But then you add in all of the other stuff.
Starting point is 00:25:32 It's not just Titans game sucking that makes it hard to be a Titans fan this year. year. It's not just that. The Jarvis Brownlee Jr. trade. And then J.B.J. makes a game winning play against the Bengals. And he's saying, you know, talking crap about the Titans and, oh,
Starting point is 00:25:48 the Titans are so dumb. Why would they trade this young corner that's the best player on the Jets defense right now? That's chilled out. But that happened, and that sucked. Mike Vrable, being awesome. Every week is a reminder of the Titans' mistakes and how they've mismanaged their situation.
Starting point is 00:26:09 And we're going to get another kick in the teeth on Monday night when they mention Mike Rable, why do the Titans let him go? They're struggling, they're 1 in 11. Titans are terrible. Guess they shouldn't have let Mike Grable go. We're going to hear it all night long. The coronation. I mean, shoot, A.J. Brown won a Super Bowl. Derek Henry has slowed down this year, but last year almost went for 2,000 yards with the Ravens.
Starting point is 00:26:36 Elijah Moulton turns into a good player Christian Fulton was playing pretty good football for he got hurt for the Chiefs those are just smaller examples but every single week the Raiders coaches are saying the Titans are the worst team that they've ever seen Kevin Byard
Starting point is 00:26:54 practically leading the NFL in interceptions the Titans are getting beat down by their division rivals 26-0 to Houston 41 to 20 to Indianapolis 25 to 3 to Jackson Jacksonville, beat down by their division rivals. And then Traylin Berks. Trailing Frickin Burks.
Starting point is 00:27:20 Goes out there and has an Odell Beckham catch from Marcus Mariotta. Drive the knife into my eyeballs. It just, it's not even just the Titans, it's everything. Everything the Titans touch turns to dust. And then as soon as people leave, as soon as these people go somewhere else, all of a sudden they turn into good players again. I can't wait to cut Lageria Sneed.
Starting point is 00:27:52 He's going to be good next year on a better team. Heck even Cheeto Ouzier having a good season for the Ravens. Harold Landry goes back to the Patriots. all of a sudden learns a bunch of new pass rush moves and is awesome it just it just never ends it can't just be
Starting point is 00:28:16 the Titans are a bad football team it's everything it's every move they make is wrong they go right they should have went left they zig they should have zag everything is wrong all the time it just never ends
Starting point is 00:28:32 and I don't have some big point to finish with. I'm not building up to some you know, well, there's like, it's just so deflating man you know and I am so blessed and thankful to cover this football team for work I get paid to talk about the Titans
Starting point is 00:28:51 that is a dream come true for me that I did not think was going to happen all right but with that I spend most of my days even in the off season thinking about this team what can they do the players I watch film for
Starting point is 00:29:08 six, seven, eight hours a week on this football team and it's just like it's just soul-sucking that not only are they bad but everything they touch turns to dust and as soon as it floats away it turns back to gold
Starting point is 00:29:22 and we got to hear about it every it's like every primetime game there's a oh well the Titans look like morons another kicking the teeth for Titans fans Like, when is it going to turn around? You would think just, just by the nature of things, they would accidentally turn things around.
Starting point is 00:29:46 Right? Like, when are they going to turn things around? When is the next run? When are we going to get the next Derek Henry, A.J. Brown, Ryan, Tana Hill run from the Titans. When does that happen again? And even in the Titan success, Even in their success as a franchise.
Starting point is 00:30:06 We have the Steve McNair Eddie Doords run. But the Titans are 13 and 3. Carrie Collins. Chris Johnson. Frauds. Nobody believes in them. And what do they do? They prove everybody right and lose to the Ravens at home in the division round. And then you go to 2020. You're frauds.
Starting point is 00:30:32 No one believes in this Titans team. You host the Ravens, you lose in the division round. They're scraping the Titans logo in the middle of the field. Embarrassing.

Starting point is 00:30:51 And then what do the Titans do? Have one of the most embarrassing playoff losses in NFL history, tie the NFL sack record in the playoffs with nine, dominate the bangles, and still lose because Tana Hill and Todd Downing are morons. It's like, every time the world says, Titans, you guys aren't as good as you think you are, you guys suck, we don't respect you.
Starting point is 00:31:22 The haters were right, the Titans prove them right. They shouldn't have been respected. We were all wrong. good as they look. Ha ha. So even the good Titans teams don't get the respect and shouldn't get the respect that we think that they deserve.
