Locked On Titans - Daily Podcast On The Tennessee Titans - Tennessee Titans UNDERDOG VICTORY Must Stop DRAKE MAYE, Jeffery Simmons & Special Teams DOMINATION

Episode Date: October 16, 2025

The Tennessee Titans host Mike Vrabel's New England Patriots this week and are massive underdogs at home. If the Titans hope to pull off an upset, they will need to stick to a classic underdog game plan. At the top of the list, the Titans must prevent Drake Maye from making explosive plays down the field and hope that turns into some game-changing turnovers. If those turnovers are forced, it will likely come from pressure caused by Jeffery Simmons, who is playing at an all-pro level on defense. However, this is too tough of a task for the Titans and Mike McCoy's interim tenure likely starts off with a loss if the Titans don't get some serious breaks to go their way on special teams. 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!Mint MobileReady to say yes to saying no?Make the switch at https://MintMobile.com/LOCKEDONNFL Upfront payment of $45 required (equivalent to $15/mo).

Tennessee Titans need to ruin Mike Vrable's revenge game, and I'm going to tell you exactly how they can do it 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. It's a game plan Friday episode and I'm going to tell you exactly how the Tennessee Titans

can knock off the New England Patriots. We're going to talk about my keys to victory including shutting down the deep passing of Drake May. We're going to talk about my players to watch and no shock. Jeffrey Simmons needs to ball out in this game. But I'm also going to give you my game and score predictions for what I think actually happens.

Give you some gambling and fantasy talk 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. 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. 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. Let's hope the Tennessee Titans start to show that growth that we've all been looking for all year. And then, of course, we're going to have a head coaching search right around the corner. So make sure that you stay locked in with the Locked on Titans podcast. But with that being said, again, how can the Tennessee Titans upset the New England Patriots, who are seven-point favorites on the road in Nissan Stadium this week? For me, it all starts with the plan for Drake May.

The Tennessee Titans must have a plan for Drake May. And to me, that includes shutting down the deep bottom. Drake May has been absolutely electric throwing deep this year and if you're a Tennessee Titans defense that has struggled if you're a Tennessee Titans offense that can't stay on the field can't sustain drives the last thing that you could do is give up big explosive plays to the New England Patriots where they're able to put a ton of points on the board put them on the board quickly you are not going to be able to come back from that If you let Drake May hit a couple of 40, 50-yard deep passes,

there's just no chance you're going to be able to recover from that. Now look, Drake May has been excellent all year. There's no doubt about that. He's been great. So I'm not saying that what I'm about to propose here is absolutely going to work. But it's your best chance because, again, if you give Drake May explosive plays down the field, you're making it way too easy on a Patriots offense that does have some weaknesses. The run game for the Patriots has not been there.

We talked about it yesterday on the crossover episode. The Patriots do not have a very good run game. That's a big weakness for them right now. And it's kind of funny to hear that be said about a Mike Rable football team that the run game isn't there. But it's 100% the truth. You look, the New England Patriots right now only running for 91 yards per game. That's 7th worst in the NFL.

So it's not like the Patriots are going to be able to consistently beat you on the ground. And Tavondre sweat coming back from injured reserve, that's huge for the Tennessee Titans for the run defense. He obviously should make an impact there. It does hurt, though, that Femiola-Dajio went on injured reserve. The Tennessee Titans rookie edge rusher, and it's even more unfortunate that Femmy went on injured reserve. After having his best game of the season, like he got two pressures, was tied for second. pressures for the Titans, had multiple tackles for loss in the first half, and then suffered a calf injury, and now he's going on injured reserve.

So you take one of your best run defenders in Tavondre Sweat, and you get him back in the middle of the defense, but then you lose your best run defender on the edge. It's just unfortunate that that's the way things have gone for the Tennessee Titans, but nonetheless, again, they're not playing a team that is excellent on the ground. So when you talk about putting drives together, it all comes together here. If you're able to prevent Drake May attacking deep down the field and you make him play with precision and accuracy

and just take what the defense gives him, nickel and dime your way all the way down the field, you're not really, at least I hope, you're not going to see the Patriots dominate on the ground against the Titans, although the Titans run defense has been absolutely terrible. But again, you hope with Tavondre sweat back in and a Patriots run offense that's not that great, you could see a little bit of a cancel out of weakness on weakness there

for the Titans. Overall, if you prevent the deep plays and the explosive plays in the passing game and you force the Patriots to win with the run game, to win with the short passing game, then hopefully, hopefully, when you do that, you make them have 10 or 12 play drives and consistently nickel and dime down the field and when that happens, you create a better opportunity to make turnovers. And the Patriots are a super heavy turnover team by any means, but in both of their losses this year, they did not win the turnover battle.

I mean, they had five turnovers against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Titans don't have the talent that the Pittsburgh Steelers have on defense, but that is in there. And turnovers have been an issue last season for the Patriots. So if you're the Titans, you're hoping, hey, we're not going to give you anything deep. We're going to make you earn everything. We're going to make you have long drives down the field, and through that, it gives you more opportunities to make a mistake

and make no mistake about it to keep that going. If the Titans don't win the turnover battle, they have no chance. They have no chance to win this game if they don't win the turnover battle. And I don't even mean just tie it. The Titans have to have zero turnovers, and the Patriots need to have two or three. Like, the Titans' turnover advantage has to be two at minimum, and I think three, to give them an action.

chance to win this game. So you don't give explosive plays on the Patriots offense to make it hard for them. That gives you more opportunities to get turnovers and then you can take advantage of, it's not just stopping the Patriots offense from scoring. Turnovers are going to give you short fields, better opportunities, more opportunities for the Titans offense to actually put some points on the board, which I think is going to be a very difficult task in this game. And when we talk about the offense, it's not one of my keys to victory. because it's kind of there are bigger picture things

that I think matter here and will make a bigger difference but on offense you get those turnovers you get those opportunities the Titans have to attack over the middle of the field you need to get the Patriots

and your base defense and we'll talk more about that when we talk about my players to watch in this game because Chigacanquo at Tide-in and I guess you could sprinkle gunner helm in there as well I think they're going to be critical

to the Tennessee Titans having success but it all starts with getting more opportunities on offense and that's going to come from winning the turnover battle guys I've talked about it this is a classic underdog game plan you don't let the other team have explosive plays you make them earn every first down that they're gonna get with short precision passes and running the football you get turnovers you win the turnover battle by a lot the patriots just play bad the titans just need the patriots to play bad and part of that is special teams The Titans need some luck on special teams.

Whether it's Chim Dike, returning a punt or a kickoff for a touchdown, whether it's a blocked punt on the Patriots punt team, whether it's a blocked field goal to give them an advantage, whether it's the Titans running a fake punt or a fake field goal to get an extra first down and keep a drive going. Those are the sorts of things that have to happen in this game. You know, an on-side kick that the Titans recover with. is nearly impossible at this point in time in the NFL.

But, you know, they need some of, they need to win the turnover battle. They need the Patriots to play bad. They need to get a big play on special teams that changes the game. Like, let's say, for example, you know, the Titans go up 3-0. They get a field goal on their first drive. They get a 3-and-out stop on defense. And Chim D.K. returns a punt to put the Titans up 10 to nothing. Like, that is the kind of thing that the Titans need and the start that the Titans need.

to even have a chance in this game. So my keys to victory for the Titans, prevent the deep ball from Drake May, win the turnover battle in a significant margin, and get some sort of lucky plays on special teams. Let me know your keys to victory for the Titans down below, but now let's zoom in and talk about my players to watch in this game. Do want to let you guys know that today's episode is brought to you

Getting ready for the Tennessee Titans week seven matchup

against Mike Vrable's New England Patriots. Again, the Titans are major underdogs, major underdogs in this game. But if they can pull it off, they're going to need to prevent explosive plays from the Patriots' offense. They're going to need to win the turnover battle significantly, and they're going to need some special lucky plays on special teams. But continuing to drill down and zoom in, I want to look at my players to watch in this game. And number one, we start with, no surprise here, Jeffrey Simmons.

Jeffrey Simmons is the best player on the Tennessee Titans. By far, it's not even close. He's the only all-pro level player that they have. I think Peter Skoronsky has been really, really good at guard this year, but, you know, he's not quite a Quentin Nelson just yet. But Jeffrey Simmons is the best interior defensive lineman in the entire NFL. And I think there is a specific place

on the Patriots offensive line where Jeffrey Simmons can take advantage and it's Jared Wilson, the rookie out of Georgia. He has allowed the most pressures of any offensive linemen on the Patriots this year with 13. He has the lowest pass blocking grade per pro football focus. of any of the Patriots offensive linemen, regular starting offensive lineman,

by a significant amount. Like, it's not even close. The next closest guy is 63.1, and it's their offensive tackle Morgan Moses. You have Jared Wilson down at 45.2. Now, he hasn't officially allowed a sack all year, but the pressures are getting there. And I think that Jeffrey Simmons can baptize Jared Wilson all game long. Like, imagine being a rookie mid-rounder and having to deal with Jeffrey Simmons. Now, of course, anytime you're playing on the interior, you're going to need some help.

Like, Jared Wilson's going to get help from the center. They're going to slide protection to Jeffrey Simmons. But here's a reality. And it's something that my guy Nick Cattles talked about yesterday. Garrett Bradbury is the center for the New England Patriots. And he's had a very, very good season. Like, he has had a very good year, no doubt about it. So I'm not here telling you that Garrett Bradbury has been bad.

but as Nick talked about Garrett Bradbury is not a big physical offensive lineman he's more of an agile guy he's more of a guy who uses his finesse and his athleticism to win and when you're playing against Tavondre Sweat you're playing against Jeffrey Simmons those are large human beings so if

and what I would do is I would make sure that you have Tavondre sweat over the center all game long I want if they're going to double team Jeffrey Simmons I don't want it to be the center that can help with that because that's going to be the easiest way

I want you to have to slide your tackle in to help with Jeffrey Simmons and then maybe you've got to leave a tight end in to deal with an edge or deal with a cornerback blitz or maybe you've got to slide really hard one direction and that can open up holes to blitz on the other side.

You've got to use Jeffrey Simmons against Jared Wilson. You've got to put Devonre Sweat, head up on the center Garrett Bradbury and take advantage there. think that has to be the move. And listen, when the Patriots ultimately do slide their protection to Jeffrey Simmons, I think it's important to blitz Cedric Gray in the B gap on the opposite side. You're going to have your tackle like a Will Campbell or a Morgan Moses going out to deal with the edge rusher.

And if the interior offensive line needs two guys to take Jeffrey Simmons and one guy to take Tavondre Sweat, well then who is going to be there to protect the B gap where a linebacker can blitz through. That's going to be a task. So I think not only does Jeffrey Simmons have to dominate this matchup and create those turnovers on his own, but I think using Jeffrey Simmons as a gravity hub

to pull the offensive line to him and create openings for other players to get through on the blitz. I think that's going to be critically important for the Tennessee Titans. There is no player more important in this game than Jeffrey Simmons. The problem is Mike Vrable knows that too.

So I think the Patriots will sell out to stop Jeffrey Simmons But again, you've got to let his gravity take care of that. Now, the next player that I'm looking at is Jalen Armard Davis. We saw Kay Sean Booty, the number two wide receiver for the New England Patriots, dominate last week. We've also seen the Titans go with the Bill Belichette classic approach of, hey, we're going to put our best cornerback, Legerius Sneed, on your number two wide receiver, Kay Sean Booty.

and then we're going to have the entire Titans defense otherwise deal with Stefan Diggs. I don't think that's the route that you want to go here. I think you want to put Legerius Sneed on Stefan Diggs and then you need Jalen Armour Davis to have a decent game against Kisham Booty. He's got to have a good game. The Patriots don't have a lot of great weapons on offense right now. Like outside of Stefan Diggs

and Booty. Their tight ends, Hunter Henry and Austin Hooper are decent. We know about Austin Hooper, but Hunter Henry is the real true weapon there. Mac Hollins, that's a Nick Westbrookicene level wide receiver. He can make plays. I wanted Mac Hollins on the Titans a couple of years ago. Like, he's a great blocker, a play on special teams, big physical guy. He can do a little bit of something in the passing game as well. But rookie Kyle Williams hasn't done a lot. DeMario Davis, Pop Douglas, I think he's a major threat with his speed, but he hasn't been a guy who's been overly impressive this year, only 10 catches on the year. Booty and Diggs are by far their best receiving options. And I think if Kisham Booty or Stefan Diggs is able to just dominate Jalen

Armar Davis like we saw Marvin Harrison Jr. do against the Cardinals, it's just going to be, it's just going to be tough, all right? Even Trey Tucker had some good success against Jalen Armar Davis as well. So if he is just an absolute liability and it hurts even more because Jarvis Brownley Jr. is like the best player on the Jets defense already and the Jets excuse me, it makes me

sick to my stomach to talk about it but the Jets have just had rave reviews for Jarvis Brownley Jr. He's been excellent since he got there and like no surprise you know Jarvis Brownley Jr. is a good player and we knew that which made the decision to trade him

even more confusing. But nonetheless, if Jalen or Mar Davis gets absolutely wrecked in this game, then the Titans are in trouble. Now, my final player to watch is on the offensive side of the ball, and it's Chigaconqua. Okay? So, where I think the Patriots are most vulnerable on defense is through the middle. Okay? Their linebackers and their safeties are vulnerable in coverage.

Whether you're talking about Craig Woodson, who my guy Nick Cattles talked about, yesterday has given up 136.1 passer rating when he's been thrown at. This year he's given up 11 catches on 12 targets has been susceptible. You look at their linebacker group. Robert Spillane. Spillane is a physical player, but he's terrible in pass coverage. They still have Jack Gibbons out there. Jack Gibbons, we know, not good in past coverage. Kyle Dugger, one of their starting safeties, awful, in-pass coverage. Whether it be Christian Ellis, whether it be their other safety use, slip in my mind right now.

Jalen Hawkins. You know, these guys are guys that can be attacked. Where the Patriots have their best coverage guys is their corners. Marcus Jones, Christian Gonzalez, who's a great player. That is where you don't want to attack. is on the outside, on the perimeter. You need to attack over the middle of the field and this gives me some hope

because Cam Ward is at his best over the middle of the field. So if you use, I think what the Titans need to do here is they need to go heavy personnel. They need to go two tight ends, three tight ends. Get the Patriots in their base defense where they're safeties and there's more linebackers. Okay?

That's what they need to do and then they need to use their tight ends. They don't have a tight end that could cover Chigaconquo one-on-one. and the Patriots are one of the worst teams in the NFL in yards after catch allowed. They aren't being beat deep down the field consistently. They're being beat over the short intermediate areas of the field and then their linebackers are slow, their safeties are slow and teams are able to get away from them and create yards.

So Chigakonkwo, great with yards after catch, great speed and can win over the middle of the field. Like, the game plan is simple. You need your tight ends to have a big game. That simple. It really is that simple. That has to be the case for the Titans in this game. So use heavy personnel.

Get guys on the field that are slower, easier to take advantage of. Yeah, the Patriots are 7th in the NFL or 8th in the NFL and yards after catch allowed. They don't blitz a ton. Their pressure rate against quarterbacks is middle of the road. Like this isn't a defense that has an incredible pass rush. This isn't a defense that has great athleticism at linebacker. The Titans have to take advantage of that.

Now, that can be one of two ways. Like I said, multiple tight ends on the field. And then have your tight ends break into the outside. Or you could spread it out with five wide in those same person, like if the Titans had 12 personnel, which is one running back, two tight ends, two wide receivers. And then because

Gunner Helm and Chicka Conquo are both comfortable split out, spread them out into five wide and then hit in breaking routes towards the linebackers with those tight ends. I think that is a very simple thing the Titans can do to make Cam Ward comfortable and take advantage of a weakness of the New England

Patriots. But again, those are the players that I'm watching for. Jeffrey Simmons, Jalen Armar Davis, and Chicka Conquo, but now it's time to give you guys my predictions for what I think actually happens in this football game.

my players to watch now I want to tell you guys how I think this game actually ends up before I do thanks again for making Locked on Titans your first listen each and every day remember I'm gonna be going live immediately after the game on Sunday to break down whatever happens in this one if the Titans pull off an upset it'll be one of the best wins that they've had in quite some time but if things go the way that I'm thinking you know might might be quite a bit to discuss as to what is continuing to go wrong. And with that being said, again,

looking at my game and score prediction for this one, I said it yesterday, but I just don't think that the Tennessee Titans have a real chance here. I know that we've talked about the post-fire head coach bump. Like, it is statistically true that after a head coach is fired, the team usually does play a little bit better. But here's the problem. I think that is going to be canceled out entirely

by the motivation that the Patriots will have to play for their head coach. This isn't a normal game for the Patriots. If the Titans were playing the Jets or the Seahawks or something like that, the Chargers are on the schedule soon, or even a division opponent, like the Jags or the Colts or the Texans, I think that that post-firing head coach bump would mean a lot more. But I think the emotional uptick from firing the head coach is going to be canceled out by the emotional uptick

that the Patriots are going to have from this Mike Vrable circumstance and him coming back to Tennessee. I think the Patriots dog walk the Titans in this one. I don't think it's close at all. I think it's 31 to 10 and I think for most of the game it's going to be the Titans with three points.

I think the Titans get a late garbage time touchdown just to barely get to double digits. Bo Hardegree is still calling plays. It's still going to be Brian Callahan's offense. You can't make significant schematic changes in the amount of time that the Tennessee Titans have here. Like Monday to Sunday, you're not going to overhaul the entire offense

and install a brand new scheme that's totally different. So what they're working with here is just not a lot. And there's not enough time, not enough change to actually make a big difference. The Patriots are playing great football. The Titans secondary is going to get small. by Drake May. The Titans thought Drake May couldn't run around last year.

What are they going to say this year? You know what I mean? I just, this is going to be a Drake May, Mike Vrable, coming out party. They're going to be five and two. The Titans are going to go to one and six. Titans are in the gutter. All the national narrative is going to be the Titans are absolute morons for letting Mike Vrable go.

And now he landed on his feet and is with a better partner and blah, blah. And it's just the reality is it's just going to be more crapping on the Titans. And there's just no way that I think. it'll go any other way other than that so hate to say it hate to hear it i'm sure but i think the titans get absolutely rolled in this one 31 to 10 now as for keeping it plus 100 the titans are seven point underdogs at home if i think they lose by 21 i'm not taking the titans plus 7 now 41 and a half i would take the under on that because i think the other way that this game would go is it would be like 24 to 3 i do not

see an outcome in this game where it goes over 41 and a half points. You guys know I hate doing over-unders. Like I just hate over-unders. It's not what I like to do. I never write at those. But I just have a, I don't see a path to where the Titans could score enough points for this to go over 41.5.

I simply don't see that. So not only am I in on this, I think the Patriots minus 7, that's one of my madman's best bets for locked on NFL as well. Like, I am smashing the Patriots minus 7. I might do a little alt line of like Patriots minus 9 and a half or minus 13 and a half. This is going to be a disaster is what it's about to be.

Now, finally, my beautiful dark twisted fantasy player of the game, I mentioned it earlier, but I think it's going to be Chigaconquil. And whether the Tennessee Titans do surprise me and play well or whether the game goes exactly like I'm expecting and the Titans will be down by 20 most of the time, always does well in garbage time. Chigaconkwell, because he's going to chip on an edge rusher, and then he's going to catch little dump-offs

from Cam Ward. He's probably going to have six catches for 75 yards. You know, and whether the game goes well or the game doesn't go well, I don't think that changes. So I think Chigacquil is the best possible under-the-radar fantasy player that you

could have this week. The Patriots run defense is incredible, averaging 83 yards allowed per game. The Titans only average 81 yards per game on the ground. The run game is completely falling off. I think that's one of the bigger surprises of the season. So I don't want anybody in the run game. The outside receivers are screwed.

Tyler Lockett is a court, so I wouldn't want him on the inside either. Yeah, I think Chica Conquo is the best possible option for an under-the-radar fantasy player. If you're dealing with buys or injuries and season long, if you're looking to put together a daily fantasy lineup, Chick-a-conquo is the way to go. But that's going to do it for me today, folks. As always, I am your host, Tyler Rowland, and this was Locked on Titans.
