S14.382 Emails/Voicemails Subject: What a SeasonGood Day MichaelThis is Tommy from Atlanta. This season is what a true Titans fans could ask for. Even though we didn't make it to the big dance, I will admit that I'm so proud of the effort they provided. With all the free agents we have, J. Rob has his work cut out for him. Is it just me or is Corey Davis is having the same career as Marcus? Each year we have these big hopes for him or we are making excuses on why his production is low. Like Mariota he just may not be in the right system to display his talent.My Question to you, If the Titans only have 1 choice to resign either Henry or Tannehill, which one should they choose and why.

Titans travel to Kansas City - Why Not Us? Ryan Tannehill has comparable stats to Mahones Completion %: 66.8  v. 65.9 Yds/Att: 9.2 v. 8.4 TDs: 25 v. 31 INT: 7 v. 5 QBR: 114.8 v. 107.8 Henry has more yards after contact than any other player has rushing yards Andy Reid is 1-8 v. Titans Although there are some converts to the Titans, most people are still dismissing the season the Titans have had and are once again saying that this is the end of the line Can this possibly be a revenge game for the Chiefs? The secondary for the Titans allow WR catches early, but always deliver big hits. This leads to late game drops and going down before getting hit and not picking up the extra yards; the Chiefs have some of the smallest WRs in the league Chiefs will get their yardage, but scoring

With Jacoby Brissett signed on till 2020 so you expect the Colts to try draft a QB to start in 2020 or 2021, I would love Jacoby Brissett to stick around for a few years and the Titans get a real run on wins against the ColtsDo you think the Patriots are having the worst 10- 2 year in the last decade, yes a good defense but wow the offense is useless.Yes to Brady in 2020 for the laughs just not at the TitansJames Stark Subject: It's About TimeHi Michael,This is Tommy from Atlanta. What an exciting game, "We Beat the Colts". During the 1st half, I will admit I thought it was the Same Old Titans. It appears that our offense has gotten better.

https: S14.374   Emails/Voicemails Hello from Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada! I love the podcast and absolutely love the Titans! Derrick Henry is a beast and I can't wait to see him run all over the Colts! I think the playoffs are a real possibility this season, but after that, the Titans are going to have to make several cap decisions. I think the Titans will absolutely resign Henry and let Mariota walk away, but are there any players you see as someone the Titans will let walk away that might be a shock to the rest of the fans?Thanks,Devin News Sound Bite of the Week: Mike Vrabel Pro Bowl voting… vote early, vote often Delanie Walker put on IR Derrick Henry wins FedEx Ground Player of the Week Titans sign a kicker; Ryan Santoso Titans travel to Indianapolis to face the Colts in a push to the playoffs.

The game with the Chargers was very intense. Ryan Tannehill looked very concise and confident. I haven't felt "NOT" nerves about this offense in a long time. It seems that we truly played complementary football. All I can say about Jeffery Simmons is "WOW he's a beast".I have 2 questions and love to hear your responses. 1. Is it too early to step on the Tannehill train?2. I feel that the offense is still a little shaky; could it be the offensive coordinator in experiences or are we seeing Mike Vrabel shortcomings.Keep up the good work!!!!Tommy News Ryan Succop returning soon Soundbite of the week - Dean Pees (on Jeffery Simmons) Jeffery Simmons  6 Tackles 1 Sack 2 QB Pressures 1 Goal-Line Stand Ryan Tannehill 23-for-29

S14.369 Emails/Voicemails "QB"Any chance TL 77 can try not to get a penalty against us in an important situation, this goes for the whole offense. We can't move the ball 10 let alone 15.For the QB spot, I would run with MM 8 for the remainder of the season as he will turn it around or he won't and we will get the low pick.I would have a quick hook at the half if it's not going well, what do you think about the quick hook if MM 8 does start?James News Soundbite of the week - Marcus Mariota 1st round draft pick Jeffery Simmons started practicing this week. Might be ready for Sunday, but will most likely see limited action if playing. With the benching of Mariota, is his future over in TN? What team will sign him (Dolphins, Buccaneers, Patriots, Chargers, Bengals, Steelers) Who is at fault?
