Blaine and Zach

Blaine Bishop and Zach Lyons wrap up the week by examining what realistic fixes the Tennessee Titans can make between Week 1 and Week 2. Blaine takes listeners inside the film room and the practice field, breaking down the difference between assignment errors and physical execution, while explaining why playing with "controlled rage" and nasty intentions is non-negotiable at the NFL level.
The guys dive deep into the offensive scheme and the debate over whether Cam Ward should take more snaps under center versus operating out of the shotgun. They analyze how Brian Daboll and the Giants attacked the Philadelphia Eagles' defense last season, what Cam Ward can learn from Wan'Dale Robinson's usage, and why the run game and play-action must stay balanced against Philly's ferocious defensive front. Plus, callers chime in to debate the patience required for a young franchise quarterback, comparing the current climate to the Jake Locker era.
To close out the show, Blaine, Zach, and Croll lock in their final score predictions for Titans vs. Eagles, followed by Zach’s weekly college football slate in The Lyon's Den Best Bets.
