I am going to tell you why the Titans' division is set up perfectly. The Titans off-season is set up perfectly for them to have a prime time game after not having one last season. Again, I think the Tennessee Titans are in a perfect spot here to get at least one. prime time game. Now, I'm not going to go crazy. I'm not going to sit here and tell you that coming off a three-win season

Starting point is 00:01:10 and a coaching change and all those different things that the Tennessee Titans deserve to have multiple prime-time games. I am not going to be here to tell you that. But dang it, they deserve one. The Titans better have one prime-time game. Like, they are good enough for that. Think about everything that has happened for the Tennessee Titans this all season.

Starting point is 00:01:31 new coaching staff, which Brian Gable, Robert Sala, got a little bit more pop to him, I would say, than Brian Callahan, new coaching staff, new players. Cardell Tate in the draft, all the free agency stuff the Titans did with John Franklin Myers and Wondale Robinson, Alante Taylor, Cordell Flott, and all the movement traded for Jermaine Johnson,

Starting point is 00:01:56 like the Titans have done a lot and gotten a lot of new players this all season. So new coaches, new players, and the new jerseys, the brand rollout, the new uniforms, the new helmet, all of that. And then, if that wasn't good enough for you, the Titans have the best interior defensive linemen in the entire NFL and Jeffrey Simmons, which is 100% a draw, and Cam Ward. Cam Ward is ready for prime time.

Starting point is 00:02:32 Cam Ward deserves to be on a national stage. I know that Cam Ward's stats weren't incredible last season. I get it. They weren't. The box score was not that great. But turn on the tape and watch this dude make plays with no wide receivers and the worst coaching in the NFL. And he had the season that he had.

Starting point is 00:02:58 Now you have Cam Ward plus the new players, plus better coaching and brand new uniforms who didn't have a prime time game last season, there is literally no excuse. There's no excuse for the NFL to not give the Titans a prime time game. Like, they're in a great spot. There's more pop with the Titans

Starting point is 00:03:22 and excitement around the Titans than there has been in years, if we're honest. Especially from a national perspective because the jerseys will do that. Cam Ward will. do that. So you have a potential superstar quarterback, the best interior defensive linemen in the league, an exciting coaching staff, a ton of new players, the new uniforms, the new stadiums come in next year, and everybody knows that that's a thing. The city of Nashville has pop in and of itself.

Starting point is 00:03:52 Like, there are so many reasons why the Tennessee Titans deserve one. They deserve one. Again, I'm not going to ask for a lot, but they deserve one. And there are a lot of good opponents that could make sense in a primetime game for the Titans. Like, there are multiple avenues with what we have on the schedule where the Titans could get a prime time game, whether and again, make it on the road. I don't care. I want one prime time game. Now, I will tell you, if I had my wish, which later on tonight,

Starting point is 00:04:28 I'm going to do my full 30-minute schedule wish list episode. But why can't we have the nostalgic matchup of Titans versus Jaguars on Thursday night football? Why not?

Starting point is 00:07:19 Let's continue and cap off today's bonus edition of the Locked-on Titans podcast. Again, the Tennessee Titans are ready for primetime. Cam Ward is ready for prime time. And I think they deserve at least one prime time game. I just told you why I think they deserve that prime time game. But now who could that game be against? Well, again, I think part of the reason that the Titans are perfectly set up for a prime time game is because of the division.

Starting point is 00:07:50 I think if the Titans get a prime time game, it's most likely going to be in the AFC South. And with the Colts being at minimum interesting, the Jaguars being a good team, the Texans being a good team, the NFL can reasonably tell itself, we are going to have the Titans on Thursday night football with Jacksonville. We're going to have the Titans on Thursday night football with Houston.

Starting point is 00:08:16 And with Cam Ward, the new coaches, the New Jersey's, players, everything I just said, plus Jacksonville or Houston being a good team, Indianapolis being a historic team, that's spicy enough to justify putting the Titans on prime time. I think that is the argument. Is that the AFC South is good enough

Starting point is 00:08:37 that even if you think the Titans are the worst team in the division, they're an interesting team and the other teams are good. Can I please have Titans Jags Thursday night football. I need it. And keep this in mind. The Titans are going to have their Nike rivalry jerseys and the NFL might want to put the Titans new rivalry jerseys with Nike on prime time.

Starting point is 00:09:06 And the Titans' AFC South rivals also get a rivalry jersey. So what better of a game to showcase the rivalry jerseys, and go prime time, then Jags Titans, like they used to do those full color rush uniforms. I'm just saying, I miss those times, all right? I look back at them fondly. Give me Titans Jax. Now I think, again, the Texans or Colts would make sense as well,

Starting point is 00:09:37 but I think Jacksonville makes the most sense out of the three division rivals. I think putting the Titans up with somebody who is a, like a national powerhouse that people like, you know, the giants are popular, the cowboys are popular, the Steelers are popular, the Eagles are popular. Maybe something like that would make sense because the reality is one of those big market popular teams would have to carry the Titans in terms of, you know, excitement for the game since the Titans are not, you know, a popular franchise. So that could make some sense for the Titans as well.

Starting point is 00:10:09 But either way, they deserve one primetime game. And again, later on tonight, I'm going to do my full-length effort. on everything I want from the Titan schedule. Who should they play first? Who should they play last? When's the buy week? Who should they match up with prime time? What would happen?

Starting point is 00:10:25 Early, late in the season. All of that. So make sure that you catch me there. But that's going to do it for today's bonus edition of locked. Or today's bonus edition. As always, I am your host, Tyler Rowland. And this was Locked on Titans.
