It's your team every day.And thank you for making the Locked-on Podcast Network the number one sports podcast.network again Xavier Restrepo looks like he's going to finally get an opportunity to playhe practiced with the regular team on Wednesday practice with the regular team onThursday he's wearing his own jersey which may not sound like a lot but if you've beenpaying attention to the season like I have obviously and if not I got youdon't worry he has been wearing other teams jerseys or the numbers of otherplayers or no other teams as he is one of the quintessential players on the Tennessee
01:56Titan scout team every week so go back to like the New England weekHe was wearing Kashon booty's number nineto try to simulate his presence in the offenseand how the Titans align to that.So, Xavier Restrepo has been used as a scout team-wide receiver.He's never really gotten consideration to go up.But with the injuries, Calvin Ridley out for the year.Elyke I-O. Manor still didn't practice on Thursday.
02:16Probably not going to be able to play this weekend against the Seahawks.It is finally time for Xavier Restrepo to get an opportunityand we have been clamoring for it for the entire seasonat the end of the day.This is a guy who has big-time chemistry with your number one quarterback.You're having receiver issues with drops, with getting open against man coverage,specifically short opportunities.You can't really get anything that you can count on.
02:40And a guy like Xavier Restrepo could immediately add that to the Tennessee Titans offense.Now, he hasn't got the opportunity to play this year.And I know a lot of people, why would he not get the opportunity to play with all these potential advantagesthat he could provide to the offense of Cam Ward?Well, the reality is,the coaches aren't all that impressed.That's clear.They pulled up Mason Kinsey before him.
03:01James Prochet is on the active roster now.Like, they clearly just do not thinkthat he is a better playerthat can help the team more than a Mason Kinseyor a James Prochet, even at wide receiver.And then you add in the factthat they think that he's not an element on special teams.And the reality is, I don't think he's an element on special teams either.
03:19If he's not going to be a returner for this team,which he's not going to be,they have a better returner in Chimdeka.then he's really not going to be a presence on special teams at all.He's 5 foot 8, 5 foot 9.He is not the fastest guy's straight line speed.That's not what makes him him.Well, on special teams, that's typically what you're looking for.
03:43It's big guys who are fast that can go down and tackle.But despite that, I think that you have to give him an opportunityto play in this game and to get opportunities on all.offense and earlier this week the coaches are talking about well you know he's been playingon kick kick coverage units more lately but what are we talking about here it's sofrustrating to me that we want to talk about Xavier Restrepo is what a gunner on punt teamas a coverage guy on kick return like what what are we talking about you know what is moreimportant here it is easier to find a one of 10 guys who can run down and
04:25make a tackle, like a Julius Chestnut or Dan Musai or Marcus Harris or even Kevin Winston.Like we have, you can find those guys.You can find special teams demons.They're getting Cal L. Mullings back potentially soon.You can find those guys.You know what the Titans need more than that?They need a wide receiver that can catch the ball.They need somebody that can move the chains.
04:50They need somebody that's not going to drop a pass.Like, I just feel like we're over.overvaluing the less important thing.Why are they doing that?So now, even though they've been forced to do it through injury,now finally, they're going to give Xavier Restrepo an opportunity.And again, I think he can make an immediate impact here doing those things.Catching the ball on a first down and getting three yards.
05:14You know how nice it would be to throw a pass on first downand get three yards and it be second and seven?Just because you have a dude who can go,one, two step, turn in, catch ball, get tackled.Boom. My quarterback trusts him. He catches the ball. I know where he is.Just that little stuff that the Titans offense doesn't have there.There's no grease to the skids.There's no lubricant for this Titans offense.
05:36So much friction. Every play all the time.Max's difficulty.So I think Xavier Restrepo, listen, I don't think he's going to go out there and go, you know,eight catches, 100 yards, a touchdown.But if he can go out there and catch three or four passes for 30 to 40 yards,two of those moving the chains for first downs,get a quick wide receiver screen and get a couple of yardsto matriculate the ball down the field.
06:01Convert a couple of third downs on third and three,third and four if the Titans get any.You know, that should be the expectation for a guywho the Titans, if he does that,the Titans have desperately needed it all year long.So again, I just think this, you know,he can't play on special teams conversation.You're right.
06:20He's not going to help that much on special teams.but a wide receiver is more important right now.A wide receiver is more important.So what are we doing?Let X play, give an opportunity.I think he's going to make an immediate impacteven if he doesn't set the world on fire.You know, that's not what I'm saying.
06:36But regardless, obviously,Xavier Restrepo is one of my players to watchin this game on the offensive side of the ball.And outside of that, it's Cam Ward.I've talked about it all week.We got a good performance from Cam Ward in this game.The simple stuff, he did so much better.and so much more consistent
06:55so I want to see that continuethis is going to be hard game folksI don't think that the Titans are going to come closeto win in this game if I'm honestnot to spoil my prediction but I just don't thinkI don't think that this one's going to be closeI really don'tso I just want to see Cammore be smart with the football
07:12take what the defense gives himplay as best you can take opportunities down the fieldeven if they don't hit when they present themselvesbut I am not expecting you know somethis is the Cam Ward breakout performance.Like, no, I'm not expecting that.So I just want to see him continue to do those mundane things well,knowing that he's probably going to be under a lot of duress,
07:32and there's not going to be very many people openwith the way the Seahawks get success with rushing four guys up frontand dropping everybody back into coverage.Like, it's just going to be immensely difficult for Cam Ward in this game.So do the simple things well, diagnose quick, get the ball out of your hands.You're not going to have a lot of shots down field.You're going to be under pressure.just be smart, do the best you can.
07:53And then finally, Chigacanquo.And the reason for that is it goes back to the same thingas Xavier Restrepo.The Titans have a ton of injuries at wide receiver.There is not going to be a Calvin Ridleythe rest of the season.Elokayo Manor is probably not going to play in this game.I think Jim D.K. actually will come back.
08:08It's more of a chess contusionthan worries about the concussion, which theywas said initially during the game.He's got a chess contusion,probably very, very painfulfor a guy who plays.football in reality and could riskre-injury and it's going to hurt pretty
08:25bad again when he gets hit in this gamein Seattle man they're coming after youso maybe they'll be cautious thereand I think one way to do thatand one thing they're going to be forced to do and we'll talkabout it in keys to victoryis you got to play more tight endsyou just don't have the numbers at wide receiver
08:41you don't have the talent at wide receiverif Mason Kinsey is you know your wide receivertoo in this gameyikes so play more tight endsAnd Chigacanquo, which he did last week, and they even said it all week,the big pass that he caught on the final scoring drive for the Titans.He had never played that position on that play before.And they're going to have to use Chigacanquo as a pseudo-wide receiver,
09:08have him split out.The Titans run 11 personnel more than any other team in the NFL.Now, it's usually because they're down and stuff,but it's also because they're stupid.but if the Titans want to stay in three wide receiver looksbut they don't have the talent to do itthen use Chigacanquo and what might actually happen isyou might actually fall backwards into some creativity
09:31to throw the defense off hopefully they commit to thatwe'll talk about it more in Keys to Victorybut those are my offensive players to watchXavier Restrepo Cam Ward ChigacquoI'm going to give you my defensive players to watchand give you my keys to victory on offense and defensebut I want to take a little bit more time to have that conversationrather than squeezing it in here.
09:51So we're going to go to Keys to Victory,defensive players to watch against the Seattle Seahawks.It's locked on Titans, your team every day.Do want to let you guys know that today's episode is brought to you by prize picks.You and I make decisions every day.But on prize picks, being right can get you paid.Don't miss any of the excitement of this sports season,whether you're following the NFL, the NBA, or both,
10:15me. There's no better time to jump in on the action. If you haven't tried it yet,prize picks is the simplest way to play. Just pick more or less on at least twoplayer stats and if you get them right, you win. It takes less than 60 seconds tomake your lineup and you can play anywhere prize picks operates includingCalifornia, Texas, and Georgia. What I love most about prize picks is they justhave some incredible features. Like the new stacks feature, it's a game changer.Now I can actually pick more on like Steph Curry's points, threes, and assists inthe same lineup and one of my favorites. Their injury reboot feature saves my lineup from a loss

Prize picks, it's good to be right.Titans fans, let's continue today's edition of the Locked on Titanspodcast, getting you guys ready for the game against the Seattle, Seahawks,week 11 home matchup, man, it's crazy, we're all ready to week 11.The season goes by so quick, but also so slowly, if you know what I mean.But with that being said, we've got to go to my players to watch on the defensive side of the ball.
11:44I wanted to have more of the offensive conversationwith Xavier Restrepo to start there,but we go to the defensive players to watch here.And for me, it all starts in the middle.It's Jeffrey Simmons and Tavondre Sweat.Like we talked about on the crossover Thursday episode yesterdaywith my guy Corbyn from Locked on Seahawks.The vulnerability of this offensive line is the interior.
12:08Back up center in there, Anthony Bradford, at guard,Gray Zabel, they're really good rookie.He may be out of this game with an injury.That's the expectation from Corbyn.Even though they're talking optimistically about himcoming off the injury because it looked serious,it's not that serious, but still would be a surprise to see him play in this game.If you have basically three backup level players on the interior,
12:31and Anthony Bradford is a starter, and he's had good moments.This isn't a bad offensive line by any stretch of the imagination,even with what I'm saying.Anthony Bradford, probably a low-level starter,but nonetheless somebody who,Tavondre Sweat and Jeffrey Simmons should have successagainst. And I think if there is a path for the Tennessee Titans to find a way to win this gameon the defensive side of the ball, it's this explosive offense. And the Seahawks offense is
12:54awesome. But if there is a path for the Tennessee Titans to do it, it basically starts withJeffrey Simmons and Tavondre Sweat absolutely bully everything in the middle. They are constantlydisruptive in the pass rush, forcing Sam Darnold to have to roll out of the pocket, throw on therun, hopefully get pushed back into Jeffrey Simmons and Tavondre Sweat if the Titansedge rush is playing with discipline and doing the right thing.And Lord knows, Arden Key loves rushing Y and Hyde and out of nowhere.So if he could do that in this game and push Sam Darnold forward, then if Big Jeff andTavondry Sweat are dominating, they'll be right there to eat that alive.
13:31And then you get sacks on Sam Darnold, maybe those turnover problems that he had from lastweek throwing four interceptions, maybe that continues.And we'll talk more about that in a second.but that starts with Jeffrey Simmons and Tavandre Sweat dominating up front.You can shut down the run game for the most partor at least make it easier to guardbecause you know that you have taken the A gaps and the B gaps awaybecause they're so dominant up front.
13:54It starts with them.Jeffrey Simmons and Tavondre sweat are the clear advantage.The Titans have talent-wise in this defense-vers-offance matchupand they've got to flex that and that's got to be not only a winbut domination for the Titansif they're going to find a way to slow down this offenseand, again, going to be very difficult to do,but that's the path.
14:11And then I have everyone else, you know, everyone else on defense.And let's kind of blend my final player to watch on defense,which is everyone else with my keys to victory on defense.I think the key for the Titans in this gameis preventing explosives.The Seahawks are one of the most explosive offenses in the NFL,ton of explosive play, shots downfield.Sam Darnold loves throwing it deep, loves pushing the ball down the field.
14:36We heard about the yards per attempt yesterdayfrom Corby, you know, 9 point something.You know, like he is throwing the ball down the fieldand that's what Sam Donald likes to do.He's got a live arm.He did that in Minnesota very well.That's what they had success with.They were just so explosive on offense
14:50throwing the ball down the field.He's a good downfield throwing.And you got to take that away.You got to try to make him be consistent.You got to try to make thembe efficient, down to down.Don't make it easy on him.Look, even if the titan,
15:08prevent the explosive plays.I think they're going to have a hard time winning.It's not like if they do that,that Sam Darnold and Jackson Smith and Jigba and Tori Horton,if he's back, and Rashid Shahid,who's a lightning bug out there,it's not like they couldn't succeedon a down-to-down efficient diet,
15:28but I mean, that's still the best path for the Titans defenseto try to slow them down.Just don't let them do what they've done so successfully all yearand just strike downfield.think that when I talk about everyone else outside of the two interior defensive linemen beingkeys to victory, that includes the safety group. Like last week, the Texans did not try toattack downfield. That was not their plan in the game to attack downfield. They wantedto hit short, they wanted to hit intermediate, they wanted to attack outside, quick stop
16:00routes, and you know, I think that was the plan. There were some crossing routes into themiddle, but they weren't really a challenging deep all the time. Seattle,will. And while I was impressed with Kevin Winston's performance and we talked about that a coupleof days ago on the show when I talked about what I saw from him on film, he was not challengeddeep, especially as a post safety like cover one, cover three, back deep, the deep man, singlehigh look. He wasn't challenged very often like that and Seattle was going to. So for Amani Hookerwho is not the quickest player and has played poorly this year for Kevin Winston who just is a rookieis getting acclimated, getting his legs under him.
16:40I think that there could be a tremendous challengeand we already know that the cornerback group isn't very good.Darrell Baker Jr., Jalen Armard Davis,rookie Marcus Harris in the slot.Like, I think Marcus Harris could be a good player.I was kind of impressed by what I saw from him on tapeand his opportunities, butthat's not a good secondary against this wide receiver group.
17:00Let's just be honest about that.So the secondary is just going to have a tremendous, tremendous effort ahead of them.preventing the explosive plays.And the reality is, if the Titans can win up frontwith Jeffrey Simmons and Tavondre Sweat,create those turnover opportunities by making Sam Donald uncomfortable,playing back coverage, getting pressure with four,all of those different things,
17:23then he might throw some turnovers,and the secondary has to be able to take advantageif he gives them opportunities they have to.And these just aren't guys other than Amani Hooker,has been a ballhawk throughout his career,but hasn't done anything like that this year.Are those secondary guys going to be able to step upwhen those turnover opportunities arise, if they arise?
17:43Like, they're going to have to,and these just aren't guys who we've seen do that before.I feel like it's been foreversince the Titan's secondary player got an interception.So Roger McCreary, it's not even on the team anymore.So, like, probably Xavier Woods, maybe.I don't know.Anyways, that's my point, though.
18:05It's been Cody Barton getting the interceptions for the Titans.And he's included here because I think another reality is the red zone defense is going to be critical.We saw this formula from the Rams last week.They got four interceptions on Sam Darnold.They stopped them three times out of four in the red zone.And they still barely won.You know, like they still barely won at the end because Seattle's offense can move the ball so well.but that's kind of the point. Seattle's offense is going to move the ball up and down the field
18:39from the 20s to the 20s. They're going to move the ball and if the Titans don't stop them in the redzone, you're not just going to turn off their water like you did with the Texans for most of the gamelast week. That's not going to happen. It's a way better offense than the Texans.Like that's not going to happen here. So they're going to move the ball. They're going to getred zone opportunities. If you don't hold them to multiple field goals, one touchdown,it's going to be tough for the Titans. And that means they're going to haveto stop the run in the red zone because Seattle's been really good at running the ballin the red zone. That's something that Corbyn mentioned on the show last week. They've been
19:12good running the ball in the red zone. So the Titans edge rushers, the Titanslinebackers, and the Titans' safeties and slot corners are going to have to be great inrun defense because the reality is, like I talked about with Jeffrey Simmons andTevondre Sweat, that's an advantage the Titans actually have. Seattle was going to pepperthe outside run game, and that includes in the red zone and try to get to the perimeterand take advantage. So, big challenge for the Tennessee Titans second level this week,whether it be in past coverage, whether it be in run defense with the perimeter run game,with the wide zones, the pitches, the Titans back level players,
19:56we always say the front seven, the back seven for the Tennessee Titans defense,going to be a tough one.But on the offensive side of the ball,we finished with my keys to victory there.And really, I just want to see more two-tide-end looks.The Titans are actually good at throwing the ballout of two tight-end sets.The Titans are bad at running the ball out of two tight-end sets.
20:21The Titans are good at running the ball.Well, good is a stretch,but better at running the ball out of three wide-receiver sets.They are not as good at throwing out.of three wide receiver sets.They run three wide receiver setsmore than basically every other teamin the NFL.
20:39So I just want to seethe Titansthrow more out of 12 personnelwith Chigacanquo and Gunner Helm on the field.So far under Mike McCoy,less motion, no shifts.They're not doing anything to identify pre-snapon a significant, consistent basis.
20:58They are nowhere nearthe level of creativity on offensewith those types of things as the rest of the NFL.It's making it very difficult on Kim Ward,simplistic route concepts that they run over and over and over again.Like, I'm not expecting that stuff to change,but I'm just hoping that now they are forced toplay out of more two tight-end sets.
21:20Shift your tight ends around.Put people in motion to create looks and create advantagesbecause you're going to be in similar personnel.so you have to get more creative with how you use that personneland you deploy it and you align it to accomplish your goalsbecause you're just limited and your talent at wide receiverand how many you can use.So it's like it's almost going to force them
21:41to get more creative and lean into the thing that they do wellthat they don't seem to notice that they do well.So I just want to see the Titans offense do thatbecause I don't have a lot of faith that, you know,regardless of what they do, it's going to be super successful.So I just want to see them try some things.All right.But with that being said,
21:58time to make my predictions for this game.My score, game prediction, fantasy, gambling.We'll talk all about that.Do want to let you know that today's episode is brought to you by Game Time.The NFL is back.Honestly, there's nothing better than being in the stadium surrounded by fans,cheering on your team, but let's be honest.Getting tickets can be a hassle between the Q's login screens.

23:27edition of the Locked-on Titans podcast, breaking down the Tennessee Titans matchup againstthe Seattle Seahawks in week 12. We talked about my keys to victory on offense, my playersto watch on offense and Xavier Restrepo, his opportunity to play. We talked about my keys tovictory on defense, my players to watch on defense, Tevandre Sweat, Jeffrey Simmons, absolutelyhave to dominate for the Titans to have a chance. Now I want to get into my predictions before wedo, thanks again for making Locked on Titans your first listen. And thank you again for makingthe Lockdown Podcast Network, the number one.sports podcast network, but
24:00I have to be honestand if you've been listening to the show this weekyou've been following me online at Tic Tac Titansat Locked On Titans on basically every platformyou can find me one of thoseI justSeattle is a good football teamthey are consistent
24:19they come to playthey are aggressive and physicaland I think that there are certain thingsthat they do wellthat are going to give the Titansproblems. Explosive plays,attack deep on offense,Titan secondary.
24:37It's just not equipped to handle that right now.On the other side,their defense,Nikon Monwari,safety I really liked in the draft.When Seattle traded up with the Titans,they took Nikon Warn Wari,and he's looking like an absolute stud.
24:53It's going to be like a rookie all pro.Not an all pro as a rookie,but he will be on the rookie.first team when they do those sorts of lists.He's been great.Kevin Winston good finish to the season.He might be able to get on there too,but not going to be as high profile
25:07because the team isn't winning like the Seahawks.And what Nicoll Memorial has done for the Seahawks this yearhas been impressive because they have been really goodagainst those heavy tight-end sets that are really proliferatingaround the NFL right now.Well, big things this year, under center, multiple tight ends,heavy offensive line with six offensive linemen.The Titans have done some of that with Corey Levin
25:26and some of their backup offensive tackles and things like that.But those sorts of looks have gotten really, really popular in the NFL this yearbecause teams are playing too high safety.There's a ton of teams playing cover four, cover six, different things like that,and they're having two high safety looks.Well, that means less people in the box.If you have two safeties back deep, one of them can't be in the box,which means you're seeing seven people in the box.
25:48Defenses, as I've been telling you on the show for a long time,if you're someone really paying attention,defense has been mostly played out of nickel defense the last couple of years.You want to have, because teams started running RPO and quick passing game and things like that,you wanted to have nickel defense on the field.And then we saw the big nickel with three safeties where you have a safety as the slot cornerbackinstead of a pure corner.You know, we saw Penny looks where you would have five guys on the line of scrimmage,
26:16one linebacker, and then a safety could come down and float as a secondary linebacker.You know, all those different things where teams started getting creative using lighter guysto deal with the RPO passing gameusing lighter playerswith lighter defensive packagesnow we're seeing it go the other waybecause if you're playing in thoseand you're trying to play nickel against base
26:39if you're trying to play nickel against two tight endswell what if one of those tight ends is a sixth offensive linemanand then the other one is a tight endnow are you still going to be able to play nickel against thatbecause now your defensive end doesn't get to go one-on-onein a seal block against a tight endhe's got to go against an offensive tackle.Now I can pull a backside tackle
27:00who's actually a center like Corey Levinand run Gap.Counter and power the other way.What do you do then?So we've seen more three tight-end looks.We've seen more jumbo offensive packagesin the NFL in general this yearas a counter to nickel defense as a base
27:20and two high safety looksand running the ballis King again.Well, Seattle, the counter to that isthey have a safety who is basically a linebackerand Nick on Monwarie.So, like last week against the Rams,they really did a good job shutting down the Rams offense,
27:40even though the Rams won.They did a great job against the Rams offensebecause they were runningthat package on defensewhere they have Nick on Warre function as a linebacker.And it can almost counter that,but keep them in thepersonnel groupings they want to be in to be able to fight against explosive pass
27:57plays. It's brilliant. It's the chess match of the NFL right now and Seattle was at thecutting edge of that on defense, no doubt or no shock with Mike McDonald being theirhead coach and he is a guy who was known as someone who plays really, really wellagainst those Shanahan offenses. Because as those Sean McVeigh, Kyle Shanahan,wide zone offenses started to blast the NFL and take over, eventually someone willwho counters that. Batmancreated his rogues galleryin a lot of examples.
28:28Like, the villains got crazierbecause there was a Batmanwhen there's just cops, it's regular villains.There's a Batman wearing a costume dressed up as a bat.Now people want to be more flamboyant.And that's not canon and everytelling of Batman, but that's a very commonthing as the question is, is Batman part of the problem?
28:49You know, it's Mike McDonaldwas created because of the McVe-Shannahan outside zone offenses.He was specifically tailored to stop those.So it's no shock that he is a guy at the cutting edgeof schematically how to deal with those offenses.Anyways, that's a long tangent.But the point is, that was some fun football talk, though.If you really love ball and you're really paying attention,
29:18that's what's going on right now in the NFL.I love the NFL.You know, I know the Titans are bad.It's been hard, but football is great all the time.But with that being said, I think the Titans lose this game.24 to 10.I just don't think the Titans are anywhere near...Like the Texans, with Davis Mills out there,
29:40no Jalen Petrie.Like, I think that...I wasn't surprised.I had the score perfectly last week.I said 16-13, Texans.I had the score perfectly last week.so I just kind of feel like I have a bead on both of these teamsand it could be even a little more
29:55but I think it's going to be a struggle for the Titans 2410 Seahawksnow as for keeping it plus 100 as we talk about the gamblingit's 13 and a half I have the Seahawks winning by 14so I obviously am not taking the Titans to cover the spreadif I had to choose if I had to chooseI would have to go with the Seahawks minus 13 and a halfand under 40 and a halfIf the score goes over 40 and a half, it's 31.10.
30:24That's what I'm scared of.You guys know I hate over-unders.But nonetheless, if I had to choose, Seahawks minus 13.5.But I don't want to bet this.I'm not confident in that.That's what I would do.But I've got to tell you, 13.5 is just too much for me to feel comfortable with.Even in this matchup, because it could be 2310.
30:45You know, then you lose.But it went exactly how I expected.so not confident in the line this week, too many points,but if I had to lean, I would go Seahawks, I would go under.For my beautiful dark twisted fantasy player of the week,my fantasy sleeper of the week,I'm going with Chikonkwo.I talked about how the Titans need to be creative
31:07with the way that they use the tight ends this week.Chicka Conquo's versatile skill setwill allow him to play in the slot as a pseudo-wide receiverto keep the Titans in some of their three wide receiver looks.that they're used to, but have 12 personnel out there,which could bend the defense in a way that could help them.Probably not with the Seahawks Advantage.Nick on Memorial, like I talked about,

32:17about. But again, that's going to do it for me today, folks. As always, I am your host, TylerRowland, and this was Locked on Titans.
