Podcast: 'Cool' Plays, Mike Vrabel's Future, Will Levis' Leadership

The Paul Kuharsky PodcastNASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Mike Vrabel has often used the word "cool" in discussing the Titans offense. He's typically talking about cool plays.

Cool plays he saw throughout a game amid a lot of mediocre stuff or cool things that were on the verge of happening that didn't because of self-inflicted wounds, something else he speaks about quite a bit.

That's where we start this week's edition of The Paul Kuharsky Podcast.The new episode awaits you on Apple, Spotify, Google Podcasts, TuneIn, iHeart and YouTube, which is also embedded below.

Film Review Of Jaelyn Duncan’s First Start For Titans

Film Review Of Jaelyn Duncan’s First Start For Titans

By MIKE HERNDON, columnist

The youth movement on the Titans offense is fully underway at this point in the season. On Sunday against the Panthers, Tennessee saw three rookies play every snap of the game on offense as sixth-round tackle Jaelyn Duncan joined fellow 2023 NFL Draft classmates Peter Skoronski and Will Levis among the starters for Mike Vrabel.

In fact, there were several snaps that saw the Titans line up with five rookies on the field together with running back Tyjae Spears and tight end Josh Whyle coming off the bench to join the three starters. That’s not something that often happens at the NFL level, but that’s a good indicator of how much the remainder of 2023 has turned into an evaluation exercise for the coaching staff and front office to determine how many of these young players can be counted on to help in 2024 and beyond.

Titans: Pass Rush Revival, Tyjae Spears And The AFC Standings

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – When faced with complaints about the quality of an opponent, I’ve long said you can only beat who’s in front of you. So we can’t downgrade the Titans for the win over the miserable Panthers on Sunday. 

It gives the team a nice reset and a confidence boost that they can still find a way to win.

Breaking Down the Titans' Win: Surprise Rookie Standouts, Top Defensive Plays And Worrying Team Mistakes

Breaking Down the Titans' Win: Surprise Rookie Standouts, Top Defensive Plays And Worrying Team Mistakes

By BLAKE BEDDINGFIELD, special correspondent

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Titans needed a game like this.  

The Panthers are the worst team in the league without a true playmaker on either side of the ball.  

The encouraging part for the Titans was they found success in the run game and their passing attack when they needed it.

On defense, they were excellent in their run defense and also harassing rookie QB Bryce Young all four quarters.

The usage of Derrick Henry (18 carries for 76 yards and two TDs) was what was needed to take pressure off the offensive line and Will Levis. He forced the Panthers to bring a safety around the box to help in the run game.

PK TV: We Discussed Titans 17, Panthers 10

PK TVNASHVILLE, Tenn. -- It's been a bit since we gathered to discuss a win, and while Titans 17, Carolina 10 was no pretty painting, it did get Tennessee back in the win column and get the team out of a place where any doubt could continue to grow.

The defense made a monumental play, the offense got Derrick Henry into the end zone twice and the Titans took advantage of some really bad clock management and coaching by Frank Reich. 

So the team's fourth win and fourth home win is something worth celebrating, no matter who it came against or how they got it or the depressingly anemic second-half offense.

We also got to see how bad the Panthers are and what Bryce Young is about at this point.

We gathered to discuss all that and whatever else was on your mind -- including conflicting reports about Mike Vrabel's future -- after the Titans pulled to 4-7.

Please head to the private Facebook page or to YouTube below to rewatch.

Titans: 'It’s OK for doubt to creep in, but it ain’t OK for it to stay'

Titans: 'It’s OK for doubt to creep in, but it ain’t OK for it to stay'

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Proud football players aren’t fast to reveal doubt. But the way the Titans had played through 10 games, it was hard to believe some had not snuck into their locker room.

“Any doubts? Yeah, it probably crept in, we’re humans,” Arden Key admitted after the Titans beat Carolina 17-10 for their first win since Oct. 29. “So yeah, it definitely crept in. It’s OK for it to creep in. But it ain’t OK for it to stay. This builds our confidence. We went on three road trips, lost, came home and we had to get the win. If we had lost today, it would have been crazy.

“It’s not a relief,” he said, exhaling a giant sigh to show the degree. “Like it’s a quick (breath),” he said, letting out a much less significant sigh.
