Welcome inside the Locked-on Steelers podcast. I'm your host, John Ledyard from over at fanragsports.com,

and this is a Wednesday edition of the Locked-on Steelers podcast. We're previewing the Steelers Titans game coming up on Thursday night,

and joining me to do so ever so graciously as Paul Kuharski writes at Paul Kuharski.com and talks on Midday 180 at Nashville, Tennessee.

Paul, how are you today?

Great. Thanks for having me.

Yeah, for sure. Thank you so much for coming on. And Paul, we got a lot of things that we

wanted to touch on quickly today. But talking about the Tennessee Titans and the Red

Zone offense, and it was an issue maybe early

on in the season.

And then the last couple weeks, it seems like they've really turned some things around,

six for six and their last six red zone trips converting those trips to touchdowns.

Where does that turnaround come from?

What's caused that transition in the offense?

You know, last year they were phenomenal in the red zone, and this year it wasn't just a regression to the mean.

It was really kind of a regression to the bottom.

After the byweek, they came out, three for three against the Ravens, three for three against the Bengals,

and the Bengals came into that game as number one,

the Red Zone defense in the league. The biggest thing,

they scored a touchdown, assessed on a kickoff, no penalties, no plays for no gain,

no plays for a loss.

And those had been issues for this team in the red zone before that.

So they really just cleaned things up.
