Rattler shines but Malik Willis has a better game!' ESPN reacts to Titans' 30-27 win over Saints NFL

all right time now for a little addition of oh no he didn't Titans Saints 4 seconds ago before the half Braden arvon setting up for a 58 yard oh 100% I'm disappointed the coach said too like it's the end of the half no matter what get it in don't don't get tackled with the ball and what did I do I got freaking tackled with the ball and I let the guys down I should have pitched it to the homeboy that was right there let him walk it in for me but hopefully next time if I get another op I'll make it happen all right close but not quite close enough we got coach Herm Edwards in here and her all we got the play up CU we got to have some fun with this let's take it all the way back to the beginning because you send him back there just in case something happens right so he is set up but you think he sets up to play perfectly right there because one of the angle at the flag yes they're running toward the flag to the left so they're tired these big guys are tired look at them speaking of big guys can we talk about this position right here uh that is the position of it's prayer he's praying that he does not have to get up and Chase Thea any farther so check this out the play continues right yes and then then you have what I call here the reach of desperation well that's the desperation and they're tired now he had no chance of putting even a fingernail on the ca so from that point you're watching he's like Herm he's going to take it all the way but in these situations there's always one guy you got to watch out for and right now it's my man right here he is the guy that everyone in the coach's office be like did you see the hustle we had on this play because he did not give up but look at 78 that's a big man Runner that man run a long time he did but look early celebration oh well early celebration they got the touchdown position but no one's looking over here these guys are so fatigued right now that they don't know what to do they want this to end they just want it to be over and guess what it did end short of the end zone because no one blocked 89 so instead of a kick six version like we had Alabama Auburn we get Samson AA just tired for no reason reason cuz the half was over how about that it's over got nothing um all right so that's the fun stuff but let's flip it to will Levis for a second uh Connecticut Brad played at Kentucky now he's supposed to be the future there in Tennessee with the Titans what are you seeing from him as they're about to start this 24 campaign oh I I I see a guy that is is ready to play and I look he's a young guy you he's been in the league a year but I I think the offense fits what he does now it is a a West Coast style offense where he can move they move the pock with him uh when you watch him here little play action he gets out on the on the perimeter right away and this is important for a Young quarterback get him some early completions and you'll watch this it's only a 5 yard completion but he sees himself completing the ball here again he's going to get the ball again watch this one here he's going to get it from the gun a little action right here take the fake okay and now he he sees I got manto man coverage nice pocket form him they've cleaned the pocket for him he's going to get a deep out from the wide receiver wide open another nice throw right so he's right now a guy that's feeling a lot of confidence they built the offense around his skill set here again another play action right now over the he's taking some time reading the defense another nice throw so early completions run an offense that he's capable of running which is the West Coast offense he can get the ball out he played pretty dead good I thought and one thing about his overall ability is that he can run the football as well they kind of like maybe a poor man's version of Josh Allen so they had that Arsenal there in Tennessee they Tred to win that division the Broncos putting up a whole lot of points look at the most preseason points per game in the last 10 seasons the 2024 Broncos are right there with the 2015 Eagles cuz they had 33.3 2015 Broncos 33 flat 2023 Chiefs 31.7 and then the 2018 Steelers 30 points now what will it translate to I don't know but what's clear the Broncos put up a whole lot of points in the preseason time now to head back out to Denver where we are joined by two members of the team who called the game Tiki Barber and Jason mccordi and guys Zack Wilson the pressure is not on him like it was in New York but I think he showed a lot of great flashes in this game when you look at how he performed Jason during this entire preseason but specifically in this game do you think he deserves to make the roster yeah Zach has played well enough to make if it's not the Denver Broncos roster it's one of these other 31 teams and the one thing that he said and also Shawn pyton said just having fun playing football again we know what his career was like with the New York Jets he gets a brand new start here and in offense that Shawn Payton is a really good teacher as you know best tiki and he's done a really good job of learning this offense and executing yeah and Sean wants takes pride in being a a a teacher of quarterbacks and and putting them in the position to exceed and Excel and the one thing we saw with Zack today what he he wasn't afraid to let it rip yes there were there were times when in New York and obviously being a Sports Talk radio host in New York I got to criticize this and talk about this at a very uh on on a frequent amount of time but I think what we saw today is he felt free he again you mentioned it Chris there's no pressure on him to be the starter and so it's about learning it's about taking some risk but also doing the things that we know he can do he's got an amazing arm uh he's got great uh precision and and accuracy it's just a matter of doing the right things and making the right decisions all the time for him that's right that's what separates the good QBs from the great QBs consistency now speaking about other QBs Bo Nicks he's looked like he's learning really fast with the Shawn Peyton offense what are you expecting Tiki from how this offense is going to evolve with Bo Nicks under Center well I think Shawn Peyton has as an aside before I get to that he has a really tough decision in his wide receiver room there's so many talented young big fast wide receivers that some of the veterans may be on their way out it's a tough decision you can't keep everybody but with that being said I think when you think about the Arc of intersection of where Bon knck is and where he's going I think Shawn pton believes that he's smart enough he's got enough of a skill set physically emotionally to be that guy for this team and and solve this I mean feels like a decade long quarterback conundrum that the Denver Broncos have have had uh the one thing that helps them and this has been talked about so often he played a long time in college and he's a smart player he's aware he's seen almost everything yeah you can see that and the one thing we've seen from him in the preseason is quick fast decisions and the right one at that so you can't see we'll see when this season starts of what this offense is going to look like but you got to imagine the more snaps that Bal Nick sees the better this offense will be yeah very promising future looks like for the Denver Broncos on the other side TK I know you had a chance to sit down with Kyler Murray he's going to be loving his new weapon and Marvin Harrison Jr what are your expectations for this Cardinal offense as they look to get back to where they were in years prior yeah they do have some good wide receivers on this team Marvin Harrison Jr seems like he's a professional already he hasn't played a real game yet but Michael Wilson going into a second year he should evolve Greg douch Trey McBride they're tight end is is one of those upand cominging really good receiving tight ends but I think for Kyler Murray it's about growing and maturing and becoming a leader I mean I've known him for a few years now cuz I met him right before the draft and he's very reserved he's very quiet it could come off as timid and it doesn't feel like he's a leader but when I sat down and chatted with him one of the things he talked about was I needed to grow up right I needed to have there's a maturity that happen some guys come in right away pton Manning comes in right away he's a leader right just it just he just had it I think despite his youth success in high school and college uh and even his first couple years in the NFL Kyler Murray was still learning how to be an leader of men it's different being a leader of of kids and and lower levels but when you get to this level there's some dudes in that Locker Road right no doubt about it and so I think his evolution is is is is continuing to happen as a leader for this Arizona offense and I think it's growing with John Ganon now coming in as a head coach as click as click Kingsbury exited and then also drew petang the offensive coordinator they have a really good relationship and they talked about the things he's done in the [Music] is [Music] for [Music] for for for [Music] me up [Music] [Music] [Music] is [Music] [Music] he [Music] hey [Music] [Music] you [Music] [Music]
