This is an I-Heart podcast.

Guaranteed Human.

Park it right here, everybody. It's time for the tailgate. It's me, Joey P. Joe Peezapia, with me, of course. Andrew Erickson, Mr. Big Pod Energy, and Dibro, Derek Brown, the King of Bros. We're talking about some teams that we think are actually pointing in the right direction for a change because we had a great discussion on our Power Rank shows. So if you like the long, deep dive kind of shows, well, you can go listen to them because we've got two of them. They're over an hour long, both. So you can sit down and, you know, light the fire pit outside. Whatever you want to do, grab a cold one and just listen to us yelling, scream at each other about the power rankings because, you know, I'm very brave.

I put myself out there and then let other people pick it apart. You know, and then these two cowards go out there and take their shots at me. But we decided after that that it would be fun to kind of bring some of that conversation over into a shorter form here. So this is a shorter video we're going to do today on the tailgate where we just talk NFL. It's not really fantasy. It's not really betting. It's just football. We're just talking football and having a good time here. And I would say that there's a couple little pieces here and there from the Power Rank shows that I think it was worth expanding on and some of these teams that we think are finally going in the right direction. So I want to kick things off here with one of those teams being the Tennessee Titans. We've talked about the handsomeness of the coaching staff. We know they're all bald, which we support. Derek Brown and I am very supportive. We turn down offers to be on that coaching staff, which I now regret because now I'm here with you two defending Daniel Jones on a game basis. Scout salary just isn't enough, though, Joe.

It's not.

It's not.

It's not.

It's not. But the thing is, we saw progress at a Cam Ward last year. We like the Cardinal Tate draft. We like the Robert Salahy. We like Brian Daibel. We like the fact that he brought Wondell Robinson with him. We think that the defense showed some improvement in year over year,

and we think they've got some depth at the running back position.

There's a lot to like here. with him. We think that the defense showed some improvement in year over year, and we think

they've got some depth at the running back position. There's a lot to like here.

Andrew Erickson, Tennessee Titans, I don't think is a, I don't see them as being a playoff team,

but I definitely see them being a team that we're going to wake up, you know, on Sunday

morning, we're going to watch NFL, and then on Sunday night, we're going to go, hmm, I can't believe the Titans beat Team X today. I feel like that's the kind of team they're going to be this year. And they're going to be more prepared and they're going to be ready to bring it to their opponents on a more regular basis. What do you think about the changes they've made in one offseason and how impactful it can be for the Titans

who now might be on the upswing?

Check off every single box of a team. What do you think about the changes they've made in one offseason and how impactful it can be for the Titans who now might be on the upswing?

They check off every single box of a team that is going to go from worst to first in their respective division.

So I think they're going to be a player team because I think they're going to win the AFC South.

Everything you look at their schedule last year.

So we don't talk about this enough. Cam Ward played an absolute brutal schedule. We talked about us on the rookie impact show about, well, who the Raiders going to play week one? Do you think the NFL will do them dirty and send them to the Denver Broncos in week one? Well, that's where Cam Ward played his first NFL game last year at Denver, and they still covered the spread.

I remember because I talked about it the entire offseason, and I paid to Cam Ward, and I was

wrong. They covered the spread. So Cam Ward played last year, the Texans, twice. Best evens in the
