It is the JR Sport Brief Show here with you, Coast to Coast, on the Infinity Sports Network. Oh, it's Monday. That means we got a double header here in the NFL. They decided to give us a little bit of action. The Buffalo Bills and the Falcons just underway here in Atlanta, Georgia.
And then we'll also have the Commanders taking on. The Bears. Speaking of some football, the Falcons, not wasting time, already scoring a touchdown, Tyler Igir with the score. The Falcons now lead 6-0 against the Bills. But we got some news earlier today in Tennessee.
The Tennessee Titans, not even after two full seasons, have decided to ask head coach Brian Callahan. What does this mean for Cam Ward? What does this mean for the coaching position moving forward? How does this team write the ship? With these young players that they want to move forward with and develop.
And joining us right now is someone who covers all things, Tennessee Titans. Welcome to the show, Teresa Walker, via the Associated Press. Teresa, thank you for the time. I know it's busy. It has been an interesting day.
The move that, you know, let's be honest. Brian Callahan had been a top odds-on favorite to be the first coach fired in the NFL, and his job security was such that. Three weeks ago, I wrote preparations for him being fired. And after an ugly performance against the Raiders, who both one and four teams going into that game, they end up losing by 10 points. Brian Callahan, 419 as the head coach.
and 11 of those losses by 10 or fewer points.
Well, we can have more points, excuse me.
Well, Teresa, we saw the writing on the wall. You said you started preparing your piece a couple of weeks ago. We know about the Raiders' loss yesterday. W was there a final straw or was this just a culmination of many events? It feels like it was a culmination.
There were some questionable coaching calls. in the Denver game, the season opener. You're backed up at your own seven with a rookie quarterback and the lead, 47 seconds left to halftime. Usually you're going to run the clock out and try to get your quarterback and team into the locker room with a lead. And instead, it did not turn out well.
Denver scored a touchdown, and they end up losing a game that. They had leads in each of their first two games in the second half, couldn't find ways to make plays. Brian Callahan said after that Denver game that it made it seem like he didn't understand what constitutes a catch in the NFL, a question a lot of people have had problems with, but he didn't seem to think that he actually said after the game that yes, his receiver had gotten an elbow, but he needed to get a foot down or another body part, and it's like, no, an elbow counts as a catch. And then the next day he had to do a cleanup on aisle nine, making clear that yes, I do know the rule. And there were a couple more questionable coaching moves.
in games where you need your head your head coach to be at his best. making those calls instantaneously. And that's where it just kind of costs them. Punting when they're on the plus side of the fifty in Houston, a game they got shut out for the first time since 2019, and they ended up punting rather than it was very conservative play calling. He he handed over the play calling duties.
Who was quarterbacks coach, and it just Nothing ever seemed to work. And this offense just seemed to be going in reverse. It's Arisa Walkers here from the Associated Press. You don't want the offense to go in in reverse when you have a quarterback like Cam Ward. How devastating is this for him knowing that this is his first year he has to go through this season and likely another reset next year?
Well, that's the thing. He had been talking in the preseason about how he wanted stability. He wanted stability.
Well, you need the coach to help with that as well. And now you've got Cam Ward, who is the most he's been the most sacked quarterback in the NFL, added six more to the tally yesterday against the hands of the Raiders, who they had eight coming into the game. through uh four games.
So they they kind of let loose and and cried havoc on him. And that's the problem. Do you keep him alive and and with this move? And does that maybe help with the protection and keep him from getting hurt? and maybe even a further setback.
He certainly has shown that he can adapt. He went from incarnate word to Washington State to Miami.
So he can get up to speed with new offenses quickly. That is a serious concern. I mean, Marcus Mariota was the number two overall pick in 2015, and that just didn't work out well at all. His coach was, again, fired in his rookie season. Ken Wisenhunt was the last coach fired in the season by this team and the same controlling owner, Amy Ana Strung.
And that was after a loss in Houston where the quarterback got sacked a bunch. And the person who took over, he won two games the rest of the year, but Mike Malarkey, you know, turned it around in two years and he ended up getting fired after a playoff win.
So it's going to be very interesting to see where they go. Mike McCoy, senior offensive assistant, hired in March by the Titans. He's a former coach for the San Diego Chargers back when they were in San Diego. 27 and 37 as a head coach. He's been an offensive coordinator.
We haven't had a chance to talk to him yet. Um and we don't get the uh GM and the president of football ops until uh about another hour. And so it's going to be interesting to see, you know, you can't change a ton in the midst of the NFL season. But if you know what you're doing in games, that could be a thing that helps. But if they can figure out a way to get the ball out of Cam Ward's hands quicker, use his legs and and make this offense improve, I mean, they've got three games where they've been hovering around 200 yards.
Two, they didn't even make 200 yards. Total offense. It's listen up, football fans. You won't want to miss this. Right now, new Bet365 customers bet $5 and get $200 in bonus bets win or lose.
So you could turn that $200 into something bigger when you bet on Money Live, Spread, Totals, Player Props. $200 in bonus bets when new customers bet $5. I know where I'm going to bet from now on, Everordinary FBET365. Gambling problem? Call 1-877-718-5543 or visit morethanagame.nc.gov.

It's not look it's not been pretty. No, not at all. Teresa, you mentioned Amy Adams, who's the owner of the Tennessee Titans. I still, and I understand why Mike Vrabel, he got the boot last year. I think he was the smartest guy in the room, and I think they decided to let him go.
We know about the success he's having with the Patriots. Amy Adams was very complimentary over Rand Carthon, and he's now gone as well. Is she the problem? It seems like they just move management to management and shoot themselves in the foot.
Well, it seems like that. And Mike Brable was 6-18 over his last 24 games with this team. A bigger problem was there's just not a lot of talent that they've acquired through the draft on this roster. You know, they whiffed on their first round picks. 2020, it was Isaiah Wilson from Georgia.
He played three garbage time snaps for this team and was suspended before the end of his rookie season. The next year, they took Caleb Farley. I would have liked Greg Newsom as a cornerback four spots later in that draft. He's now with Jacksonville thanks to a trade. And, you know, Caleb Farley You know, he just came into the league with injuries, had had a second back surgery.
weeks before the NFL draft that year, they take him and And then Traylon Burks. the guy who was taken with the pick that they acquired trading away AJ Brown. But it's more than that. You look through 2021, 22, 23 now, even pieces of 24. There's just not much talent from those drafts on this roster, and that's how you have to build in the NFL.
Now they're going to have the most cap space in the NFL next year, but you know, one thing we found, they haven't been able to spend it right. Dan Moore was a big price-free agent coming in to help protect Cam Ward. He's had his struggles. Kevin Zeitler was a Reich guard they brought in for a year. Legerius Need, they traded for him last year, and he only played five games last year with injuries.
So you've got to be careful when you go into free agency because you can pay. doesn't mean you're getting what you you know, what you saw on the field.
Well, Teresa, we know that you mentioned some of these big names, the trade deadline coming up in less than a month now on November fourth. Is there a possibility that the Titans just try to get a couple of picks in, knowing that this season is pretty much a loss? It's absolutely a possibility. I mean, they got rid of Jarvis Brownlee, a cornerback who was a draft pick last year. And traded him away and got a graft picked back, but they had to send one with him to get him off the roster.
So they need talent. They've managed to get nine draft picks this year by trading around. but they absolutely need some more. And Jeffrey Simmons, who's having a career year, he's already got four and a half sacks after having five all of last season, is certainly somebody up for trade talked. Calvin Ridley had one hundred thirty one yards receiving a week ago, heard a hamstring on Sunday now, but he is the highest priced guy on this roster.
So it's going to be very interesting to see if anyone comes calling and offers enough to make it worth their while. Teresa Walker is here with us from the Associated Press, covers all things Tennessee Titans. What Can a Titans fan look forward to the rest of the season? What, hoping Cam Ward can stand upright, are there any other bright spots that they can look forward to?
Well, Kim DK, a rookie out of Florida, he is leading the league in all purpose yards. He's had Two of the longest kickoff returns in the NFL so far.
So he's been a bright spot. Cam Ward has had a couple of moments. His first touchdown pass, he ran around for over eight seconds and found Elegayamanner, another rookie, in the end zone for a touchdown.
So he's had a couple of those moments, but You also want to make sure he doesn't get hurt and can keep growing and trying to connect. But it does feel like it's time. They played seven rookies yesterday. They've played at least seven rookies in each of their games to start this season. At this point, it feels like it's time to go ahead and shove the rest of the chips to the middle on this rebuilding with youth and let them see what they can do.
Teresa, all things considered, we've seen a lot of quarterbacks who end up with teams and organizations and their growth is stunted. It may be too early, but do you think Cam Ward can ultimately succeed inside the Titans organization, regardless of who's coaching the team? I'm going to bet yes. He seems so calm and eating keel. He doesn't get upset after, or you know, we all remember the comment after the Houston loss.
About if we a buck, you know, if you've heard it, you've probably heard it. But he du he's he stays even keeled.
So he's not too low after a loss, except he wants to win. After a win, it's like, well, we've got another one coming.
So when you've got that kind of you know, outlook. I think that will help him kind of ride the waves as he dives into the fullness of his NFL experience here, changing coaches with another one on the horizon once the season ends. Um So and that and the fact that he changed so many schools in college and not only thrived at each location, he got better.
So he has reacted well to change in the past. That certainly bodes well for the f future. Yeah, I think Tennessee Titan fans could look forward to something with Cam. And what is that new fancy stadium open up? twenty twenty seven.
So the clock is ticking for them to try and show some signs of improvement with the product that will go on the field. Yeah, we know. Yeah, they want to definitely put some butts in the seats. Let's see if things can advance between now and then. Hey, Teresa, thank you for coming through and joining us.
