I am the host of Locked on Titans, Tyler Roland, here with the host of Locked on Texans, John Hickman. And John, right out of the gate, man, we’re looking at two teams that are not in a good place. Both sit at 0 and three. I think it’s not as much of a surprise that the Titans are 0 and3 as it is that the Texans are 0 and3. But at the same time, the way that the Titans have gotten to 0 and three has been absolutely stinky as well and has made fans more mad than I think they expected to be through three weeks. My question is simple. What the heck is going on in Houston? Know we kissing cousins right now. Uh two bad stinky teams. You know how they talk about going undefeated? Well, right now both of our teams are just defeated. Defeated. Uh what’s going on in Houston? Uh no direction. there’s no direction. Uh we had the squad, not the squad show, but the AFC soft show and I talked about some of the improvements that I think the Houston Texans made. Uh and then some of the decisions that Nick Cerio, led by Nick Cacerio, Demo Ryan chose to do and make instead of maybe going in a different direction and everything is backfired. You’re looking at an offense that’s extremely inept, cannot find the red zone, doesn’t get to the red to the red zone. Um, anyways, they’re 0 and4 in the red zone, so they’re not able to punch it in. They’re not successful on third downs. Eight of 33 on third down attempts offensively this year. And also through three games, Tyler, um, penalties, 24 penalties in three games, averaging eight per game. So, this is a team that, you know, the talk of being undisiplined, there’s no reason why anybody should be able to defend Demo Ryan in that area. There’s talk of a lackluster roster. There’s no reason for anybody to be able to defend Nicacio in that area. And because of that, you look at people now wanting to maybe turn on CJ Strad, who I think is judged too much on what he does under pressure. And that’s extremely unfair to a young quarterback because it signals everything around you is so chaotic consistently you’re not able to have a normal day in the office. And so that’s where the Houston Texans are right now. It’s just a bad team. Um who it doesn’t feel like they’re going to get better. It feels like it’s going to continue to get worse. No. I I I would relate it to like your body. Your liver’s shutting down, your lungs aren’t good, your stomach ain’t working right, and you want your heart to just continue to beat on its own. It’s not going to happen. It’s not going to happen. And I’m someone who defended CJ Strad. He was my number one quarterback in that class. I think CJ Strad still has the potential to be a top 10 quarterback in the NFL. But I didn’t like what the Texans did in the offseason. And and Texans fans could call it just, oh, it’s a Titans guy hating blah blah blah blah blah. But I’m not going to let them do that. I don’t hate on anybody more than I hate on the Titans. I’m no homer that’s just going to be like, oh, Titans good. Everybody else sucks. Like anybody who’s watched my content knows that ain’t me. But I looked at the Texans off seasonason and I said, I didn’t like the hire of Nick Kaye. I have a tin foil hat conspiracy theory that Kaye was forced on De Mo Ryans by two New England guys and I didn’t like the moves on the offensive line. Would you say that I’ve been right about that and those two things haven’t lived up or are there other things that maybe I’m not understanding? Well, I I’m going to say this, man. I I think we give the offensive line a ton of flack. I think that from 2024 to 2025, they’ve played better. Now, what’s different? You got a rookie out there, left tackle. Yeah. Had a rough day in the office against Josh Hans Allen. Um and then through three games, they haven’t had any real consistency. Andrews is in, then he gets hurt in week two, uh in week one, and Patterson’s out there. Ed Ingram, who’s the starter, doesn’t go out there initially because he’s sick. Then he’s out there for week two. Uh, you got Howard moving around, but the offensive line has cleaned up on some things. I will be Are they great? Absolutely not. Has teams figured out that if you send five, they ain’t going to be able to block them? Yes. But they have been better. And some of those sacks, the eight sacks, I think should be contributed more so to CJ Style. But everything else, you’re absolutely right. Nick Kayley has no clue what he wants to do. And I’ve talked about even, hey, maybe he needs to go up to the booth so he can collectively coach with all of the other coaches on the offensive staff. He needs a guy in his ear to say, “Hey man, maybe we should do this.” So, I think he’s in a world of confusion. And I think just overall, they invested more into the defense, shout out to my man Stan Northley, than the offense. Then you got a guy in Derell Taylor who was a healthy scratch Sunday. He’s only had one tackle on the year. That was an offseason signing. So, it’s just it’s bad all around. Like, Nico did a terrible job of putting this roster together to help CJ Stra. Now, on the flip side, you guys have a consider would be promising quarterback. I I think Ward is nice. Uh, it’s a mirror. The wide receiver you guys drafted I Manor. I Manor. He’s been able to punch it in. Yep. Everything else for for y’all just instinct struggle ball. Can’t can’t protect the quarterback. other teams able to run on y’all? Other teams able to get out the quarterback? Uh, what’s going on in Tennessee that the Texans need to know about, man? Well, man, I I mean, this week has just been insane for the Titans. Brian Callahan gives up play calling. And I would tell you that a lot of the things that you’re saying, you could just put the Titans in there. It feels like a mirror. The offensive line hasn’t been good enough and struggles to deal with pressure. The offensive coordination has no direction, and the team doesn’t have any kind of identity that it can lean back on. and a young quarterback who has a ton of talent and has shown promise is starting to kind of fall into some bad habits because they’re crumbling under the weight of everything that’s going on around them. So like the Texans were meant to be this great team that’s won playoff games in back-to-back years, the Titans were expected to be one of the worst teams in the NFL. But it just goes to show you no matter what the expectation is or where the team is at, if you don’t support your quarterback properly, things are going to fall apart. So, the big thing for the Titans is they just changed play calling from Brian Callahan over to Bo Hardigree, who’s the quarterback coach. In in theory, the quarterback coach should have the best connection with the quarterback. He’s worked with him every day in the room, every day, every throw. He knows what he likes, what he doesn’t like, what he does well, what he doesn’t do well, what he responds to, what he doesn’t. So, the hope is that the new play caller can set the Titans up for better success with Cam Ward. And then Brian Callahan, who’s been a disaster with in-game management. Should we go for it? Should we kick? Should we time out? Should we be aggressive? Be conservative? What do we do here and there? He’s been worse than a 12-year-old playing Madden. Like my dad, my dad coached pee-wee football for 20 years. My dad has no idea about the scheme that I break down each week or anything going on. But from a purely game management standpoint, my pee-wee coach dad could make better in-game decisions than Brian Callahan. Because at the end of the day, John, as you know, when you’re a leader, you just have to make a call and do it. You just got to make a call and stand on business. And Brian Callahan has not done that. So, will the changes that the Titans made actually mean improvements in the game? That’s by far the biggest question going forward for the Titans. But we got to talk about some crazy moves that both of our teams made in the defensive secondary this week that caught everybody offguard.

All right. Okay. All right. You know, I’m out here cooking with Wayfair. But either way, the show must go on. Thank you for making Locked on Texans. Locked on Titans your first listen each and every day. But the Texans made a crazy decision in the secondary releasing Chanty Gardner Johnson. The Titans make a crazy trade trading starting quarterback Jarvis Brownley Jr. from your perspective, man, with CJ JG or however he wants to say it. What happened there? Just wasn’t a fit. So, I want to shout out my man DJ Benny of ESPN, friend of the show for the Locked on Texan podcast, who did a good job of pointing out, you know, how bad some of the miscommunications on the back end of the defense was for Houston, which led to some big plays for Houston and critical moments. Uh, and then you also got to look at CJ Gardenner Johnson overall, eight of 12 completions allowed in 2025 through three games. uh through the first two games. I know the first game he allowed four catches, all four of the uh catches in the tip. So 99 yards. He wanted to be blitzed more, had more opportunities, only only sent on blisses five times this year. Uh he’s also coming from organization that just won it all. Stepped into an organization that ain’t one nothing. So I think that was the biggest thing, man. You know, winning cures issues, but when you’re not winning, there’s miscommunication. Also, there was reports of CJ Gardenner Johnson kind of pocketwashing other players on the defensive side of the ball. You know, everything that just kind of and I’m not confirming or denying. I’m just saying that’s reports. All of that kind of piles up into, hey, you know what? This ain’t working. You know, reports also said that, hey man, he requested a trade through three games. You requested a trade trying to get out of here already. So that just speaks to where he is, where he views his career and future, maybe where he viewed the Houston Texans locker room and maybe the amount of accountability going around that maybe needed to be going around and if if he was a fit in that in the first place. I think that for Houston maybe rush it because what do you do for backups? You know, that’s a problem. And then I look at you guys trading on or moving on from excuse me, Brownley. What’s going on with that? Man, I’ll tell you real quick before I dive into that. Garner Johnson has a reputation for being a malcontent in the locker room and being difficult to deal with and rubbing people the wrong way. And at the end of the day, if you’re going to burn every bridge around you, you’re going to wake up and you’re going to be on an island all alone. And especially as he gets older into his career, his play is going to drop off and people just aren’t going to deal with it. You’re not worth the headache. Your play on the field is not worth the headache that you’re giving us behind the scenes. So, I I don’t even I didn’t even see the reports just on what I know about CJ JG before, you know, that that seems like that could be the case. And and peep this, Philly just won a Super Bowl and and they traded him away for almost nothing immediately. Kendrick Ken Ken Green ain’t on nobody roster right now. I don’t even think he’s on a practice squad, right? They took him on given all of the bad film that he’s he has out there. So, winning cured it just enough for them to actually win it. But even Philly had to move on from him and that’s just the type of player he is around the league. And so, you know, good luck to him wherever he goes. But, you know, two teams that’s on and three, I’m looking at Tennessee and I’m thinking to myself, I don’t know if Houston will win this game, but there is an advantage there that may be open now that Brownley is out of there 100%. The Titans don’t have a ton of depth at cornerback. Uh, Jarvis Brownley Jr. has been a good quarterback. You drafted him in the fifth round. to get a guy who can start and give you production like that in the fifth round. That’s a great pick. And that’s the exact type of player that the Titans are saying that they want. They want to draft, they want to develop, and they want to retain. That’s what they want their system to be. They don’t want to have to go out and spend a bunch of money in free agency or make a bunch of highlevel trades. They want to draft their guys. And Brownley seemed like a guy who fit that mold. Now, I’ll say this, he had penalty problems. He had a bunch of penalties, not just defensive pass interference penalties, but face mask penalties, horse collar penalties. Like he is he is a bit of a a feisty guy and he got a lot of penalties and that was a problem. But at the end of the day, penalties aren’t a reason to trade a guy like that for a sixth round pick to for a seventh round pick to get a sixth back. Like it just doesn’t make any sense whatsoever. And you know, more will probably come out soon. But I’ll tell you the honest truth, John. Uh, John, my theory here is with the penalties, Jarvis Brownley Jr. said after the first game, I’m not changing my style. I don’t care about the penalties. I’m going to keep playing the way that I play. And then the defensive coordinator in the couple of days after that said, no, we got to clean up the penalties. Like, we we can’t hurt the team. The penalties are unacceptable. I think it’s possible that Brownley Jr. did not take kindly to his coach calling him out like that and said, “All right, well, actually, my ankle hurts. I don’t want to play. How about that? I’m going to show up in a boot and say I can’t play. And then the Titans were like to heck with that. Now, I will admit that’s a tinfoil hat theory. I’m trying to put two and two together. But at the end of the day, John, trading a player like that who was a fifth round pick last year to get a sixthround pick back and a late round pick swap. It makes no sense at all. So, you have to look beyond the surface level to try to theorize why this could happen. And there’s only two things. either he’s a malcontent behind the scenes and they don’t want him in the locker room like what I’m talking about or they see a long-term medical issue that they think will shorten his career. But if that’s the case, wouldn’t the Jets find that in the physical? Like you you really think you’re going to just slide it past the Jets that this dude is damaged goods. He’s a lemon and they’re just going to take him from you. like that doesn’t quite make sense and that would be ethically wrong in my opinion for the Titans to try to trick a team like that with a with a injury problem. I don’t think that’s right. So I think the only you spin the bottle the only thing that it can land on and make sense is this guy was a problem in the locker room and no matter what it took or what they got back they wanted him out of there and they took what they could without releasing him. It creates a monster hole for the Titans cornerback room where they have Sneeed who’s been up and down in his return and Roger McCreary is a really good player, but he’s a slot only guy. He cannot play outside. And other than that, you have Daryl Baker Jr. who’s a practice squad level castoff from the Colts last year the Titans picked up. And they just got Jaylen Armar Davis from the Ravens off waiverss, but he could only play 18 snaps and they had to pull him off the field last week because he doesn’t know what he’s doing yet. It’s It’s it’s it’s funny that Tennessee and Houston is always going to be connected somehow some way, right? But in 2025, for this to be how they’re connected, it’s it’s to me it’s hilarious because is it a clear sign, and I know for Houston it is, but is a clear sign that the general managers are not getting it right? Is it is it like because you guys actually just moved off of who I thought was a good general manager. Yeah. Uh didn’t and didn’t get a full chance to put his vision together. So I forget who stepped in. Let me know. But you know how much of this do we have to kind of place blame on the general manager um for our respective teams. Well, that is the interesting conversation because Jarvis Brownley Jr. was a Ran Carth draft pick and now Ran has gone and they replaced him with Mike Boronzi from Kansas City. And I would say Mike Borggon’s draft has looked good so far. Like the rookies have been the only bright spot for the Titans realistically outside of Peter Scaransky, the Titans who should be an allp pro guard this year. Like outside of that and Jeffrey Simmons wrecking shop, there really isn’t much to look at and be happy about. So I don’t want to jump the gun and say Mike Boronzi’s made a mistake here. You got to kind of wait for the real reason to come out through the reporting in some way. And when trades happen, you can’t really judge a trade right away. It’s easy. It’s like fantasy football. You know, you see a trade, you’re like, “Oh, that’s a terrible trade. Why’ this idiot do that?” And then the player that they traded away gets hurt and it’s like, “Oh, the idiot actually ended up winning that trade.” So, like, you do kind of got to wait to see how trades work out. But it does not make sense on paper. And unless there’s something nefarious or scandalous behind the scenes, it is a great trade for the Jets and a stupid trade for the Titans. So, you do got to kind of wait to see how trades work out. But, I think it’s absolutely fair for you to be like, what’s the general manager in Tennessee doing with this one? Yeah. I mean, and on the flip side, that’s how a lot of us here in Houston is feeling about this entire season. Uh, and I think nationally, you’re starting to see, well, they’re not doing much for CJ Stra. Look at how this thing was put together. So that’s a collective thought I think throughout the NFL football world and that points directly back to general manager Nick Caceria who has in his own way replicated the Patriot way. And for a Houston Texans franchise who has tried their hardest to be the Patriot South, it felt like they were getting away from that when they brought in De Mo. But three years into this thing, it feels like that that stench. Yep. They just can’t get rid of it. They can try to wash it off. They can bed bath beyond body works it off. I don’t but it just not working and they have ruined what should be a spectacular year three for their quarterback CJ Stout. So, I put a lot of the onus on general manager Nick Cacerio just for the terrible job that he did uh structuring this roster. You know what? The Patriot way is crap. You know what the Patriot way is? It’s Bill Bich and Tom Brady that Yeah. If you just want to say it’s Tom Brady that the Titans tried to do that Patriots way crap. And you know what it results in? An undisiplined team with a ton of penalties and an offense that can’t score the football. That’s what the Patriots way looks like for other teams trying to replicate the Patriot way because you don’t have the sauce. And that’s Tom Brady. And like the Mike Vrabel tried to do the Patriot way thing and all these Titans fans now that Brian Callahan sucks, they’re like, “Oh, I miss Mike Vrabel.” But I continue to remind folks, Mike Vrabel was six and 18 in his final 24 games. He blew a three-game lead in the division in 2023 to lose it. He had 27th or lower in scoring, three out of his six seasons as the head coach. The Patriot way is not the real way, and I think the Titans and the Texans are learning that the hard way. But with that being said, let’s talk about some matchups that we got to watch in this game and how we think this thing might ultimately play out. Do want to let you guys know that today’s episode is brought to you by Game Time. The NFL season is back and honestly, there’s nothing better than being in the stadium surrounded by fans cheering on your team.

We talked about what the heck is going on with these teams in the first two segments. At the end of the day, that’s really the big question here. Whether it’s the play on the field, the moves they’re making off the field, none of it makes sense at this point in time. But on the field, let’s get back to on the field. The matchup that will decide this one. For me, it’s the Texans defensive line against the Titans offensive line. Uh, the Titans offensive line has been a massive disappointment so far this year. They’ve given up 15. Now, I will tell you, if I’m honest, John, you know, I dive into the tape. I would say only maybe eight of those sacks are actually on the offensive line. I would say three or four of them are probably Cam Ward. A couple other ones are running backs or tight ends blowing it in pass protection. Like, that’s that’s the Houston Texans, dude. It’s a mirror. We’re talking in a mirror like the Lil Wayne song. I’m looking at a mirror. You know what I mean? Like that’s where we’re at right now. But at the end of the day, the Titans offensive line, even if JC Laam is back, even if Kevin Zitler is back, even if they’re at full strength on the offensive line, the Texans defensive line is nothing to play with. One of the best defensive fronts in the entire NFL. So even if the Titans offensive line was playing well and was healthy, I would still look at this matchup as something that can wreck the game because Will Anderson might be I mean, he’s leading the NFL in pressure rate right now. He might be a top three edge rusher with Micah Parsons, Miles Garrett, and Will Anderson at this point. And Denil Hunter might be top five, top 10. So, that’s the matchup I’m watching for. If the Titans get whooped up front by the Texans defensive line, the Texans are going to run away with this game no matter what happens on the other side of the ball. I I think for Houston, if I’m looking at a matchup that will take them out and and force them to lose a game, it’s just what they’ve been showing us. They’re going to shoot themselves in the foot again, them verse themselves. 11 penalties, seven penalties, six penalties. Then the amount of those penalties and that totals out to 24 that resulted in a third down conversion for the other team or second and long. Third and long. And now that help that forces why they’re in these, you know, long third down situations, which is why they can’t convert on third down again. Eight of 33. You know, that that’s that’s what hurt Houston. It’s it’s always themselves through three games. Um, and I think that when you have a team like Tennessee that it’s really kind of they have nothing to lose, you know what what’s the real expectation there for Tennessee? I remember you me mentioning maybe five or six wins. Five wins was my prediction. And I think they’re going to struggle to get there. Yeah. So when you got a team like that, that’s a little dangerous. Now for Houston on the flip side, what I think is going to play in their favor, what should play in their favor is since game one, the rookie running back Woody Marks has gotten more opportunities. And he’s a guy that I really like. He’s explosive. He can impact the team in the past game, just as much in the run game. Outside of his first game, the last couple of games, he’s running that forward and some change per pop. Right. When I look at what’s been the weakness for the Tennessee Titans along with Nick Chub getting busy, they haven’t been able to stop the run. And so I think for the Houston Texans, this is a team that I think needs to help their quarterback out a lot. He’s been hit a lot and they abandoned the run plenty of times throughout uh especially in the second half. So just turning the ball I mean, excuse me, not turning the ball over, but turning around and handing the ball off to their running back, I think is going to play in a major way for Houston. Well, that’s also going to help them play clean football. And that’s why I put that as kind of our third segment title here is I think the team that plays clean will win. You mentioned the penalties for the Texans. Texans fans, you want to hear something? John says what? 11, seven, six. Here’s the Titans penalties in the first three games. 13, 10, eight. Everybody’s celebrating because the Titans only had eight penalties in week three and they got beat by 21 points. You know what I mean? like they you know it. So the the last two games for the Texans, it’s been bad, but the Titans best game is worse than that. So the whichever team doesn’t turn over the ball, doesn’t shoot themselves in the foot with penalties, setting themselves up in third and long situations, that’s the team that’ll probably end up winning this one. But at the end of the day, I think the Texans can even afford a couple extra mistakes because they are a better team on paper than the Titans. And that defensive line like Cam I I worry for Cam Ward’s safety in this one. He’s in danger. I think cuz you say that the Texans can afford a mistake. Man, they they Tyler, they they don’t even get down to the red zone enough to go 0 and4 in the red zone. Yeah. Like this offense is god awful. And I that’s why I think like it it’s so bad. I’m not confident in picking Houston to beat the Tennessee Titans. I I understand that. I’m not confident to pick the Titans to beat anyone. So, I know exactly how you feel. Uh, this game is going to end 000. It’s going to be minus3 to minus three is what it really should be. You know what I mean? This This is going to be tough. And I don’t even want to give a score prediction. Uh, I I’m going to say because of the frustration with this organization, man, I do think that this will be a game that can swing either way. I’m going to be realistic here and I’m going to pick Houston, but it’s it’s something like 13 to 10. I 100% agree with you. I would take the under on this game. I don’t know what the FanDuel line is right now, the overunder, but I would take the under on this game. I think both teams are going to struggle. They’re both going to look out of sorts, but I think ultimately, like I’m saying, that that defensive front, the one good thing in this game, the one good thing in this game is the Texans defensive line. that that’s the only unit that you can look at for sure and be like, “All right, we know that they’re really good.” So, with that, I’m going to give the advantage to the Texans. I don’t know what the score is going to be, but again, I think we’re going under and and I would imagine the Texans are going to end up finding a way to win this one at home. But with that being said, that is going to do it for today’s crossover Thursday. Locked on Texans, locked on Titans. Thank you for making us your first listen.

The Tennessee Titans take on the Houston Texans in Week 4 in a game both teams are looking at as a chance to ‘get right’ before it is too late. The Texans and Titans sit at 0-3 on the year while facing massive pressure from their respective fanbases who are demanding answers for the failures. Part of the problem, are unexpected roster moves for both teams with the Titans trading starting cornerback Jarvis Brownlee Jr. to the New York Jets in a shocking move and the Texans releasing starting safety CJ Gardner-Johnson. Both moves have fans perplexed and only heightens the anxiety around the squads. Finally, this game will come down to which team can play cleaner football as penalties and mistakes have overwhelmed the start of the season for both franchises.

  1. The afc south is honestly crazy right. I’m jags fan. Didn’t think anything would start the way it has tbh. But theres something I told someone the other and it’s that there’s more bad coaches and GMs then there are bad players. I’m concerned about Ward and Stroud. Teams drafts QBs then ruin them. Same with the Jags. I’m hoping the new regime can get whatever they can outta Trevor, otherwise he’s gonna on a list of Qb causalities caused by bad teams.

  2. not gonna be an easy one. I mean I guess with where the Titans are at, as well as their head coach, nothing is going to be easy. Hope they can get it done. Also yeah that Jarvis Brownlee trade was a bit of a head scratcher for me. Also regarding potential HC candidates, I didn't think of this one before, and this is mainly just speculation on my end, but what if the Steelers have an underwhelming season this year, and they fired Mike Tomlin? Again just speculation, I don't think there's even rumors of that happening anytime soon. But I know Steelers fans are itching for more success than what they've had. I know, they're a spoiled bunch over there lol. Different expectations for different teams. I just root for the Steelers to keep winning 9 games every year because I find it kind of funny and want to see that streak continue for as long as possible 😂

  3. 🙄 The worst thing about this game is that one team will record a win, whether they deserve it or not. Texans can win this by simply knowing that Callahan will be telling Hardegree what plays to call and nothing will change. Hopefully the Titans can find the K ball this week, because they WILL be playing for field goals. And, the Texans must know that the Titans O-line won’t even inconvenience them, but all wwe ask is don’t hurt Cam.

  4. Tyler I have always trusted you and your information on our Titans. But as for now there is no “Get Right Game”. It may take 3-5 years for us to rebuild and that’s what we’re going through is a rebuild. There are so many positions in need of improvement or a better player. That goes for coaches too!!!
