Can the Arizona Cardinals take advantage of a young, up-and-coming Tennessee Titans team in a got-to-have-it game, or will Cam Ward finally get his first win as an NFL quarterback?

Let's discuss.

You are locked on NFL crossover.

Part of the Locked On podcast network.

Your team every day.

For Thursday, Alex Lancy Locked on Cardinals, Tyler Rowland, Locked on Titans.

Thank you for making crossover Thursday, your first listen.

Free wherever you get your podcast, man, YouTube, all of it. For those that don't know, Tyler and I have had, you know, a long history of co-hosting shows over the last few years. Tyler, also the host of Locked in NFL every morning, Monday through Friday, on top of the Titans, on top of film breakdown, Ticktack Titans, film breakdown on YouTube. You can find them everywhere. Dude, one of my dearest friends in this business. We don't get to do that. When did we, when have we done this? I don't even remember the last year ago. Yeah, that's right. Four years ago. Yeah, yeah, the DeAndre Hopkins double touchdown, bow down, Kyler Murray running around. It was like 38 to 13. Week one of the 2021 season, the Titans went on to get the number one seed. That's the last time that we got to have one of these crossevers. And it was also the time where I said Cliff Kingsbury ain't it. Don't look at the numbers. The problems are still the issues. We talked about that a lot. And so much has changed and so much has stayed the same for both of these teams. What we're going to do today, we're going to do keys to victory in the final statement. We're going to do, you know, most important matchups, player to player, coach to player, whatever it may be in the second. The biggest storylines, Tyler, there's a lot of storylines for both of these teams, very different, but also not many positive ones outside of maybe the Cardinals defense. Give me the biggest storylines coming into this game for a young

Cam Ward and Tennessee Titans. Is this the worst team in the NFL? I think that's been the

conversation all week. It's been a month through the season now the Titans have

progressively got worse they had a close game that they should have won if not for

bad coaching against Denver week two they're beating the Rams at halftime at home and

then get beat by 14 points then they get beat by 21 points then they get beat by

26 points the Titans are going in the wrong direction and for a season

that was all about like, we just want to see the team improve. We recognize the roster's not great.

The coach is still young. The team probably won't be good, but you want to see improvement. You want

to see that this team's heading in the right direction. And so far through the first month, they have

gone the opposite of the right direction. They are far through the first month, they have gone the opposite of the right direction.

They are going in the wrong direction quickly.

And it makes you wonder, is this the worst team in the NFL once again?

And the answer is looking like yes right now.

And the center of that issue is, should Brian Callahan be fired?
