Justin Melo⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Justin Graver⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ are back to discuss all the ways the Titans will be different in 2025 and why those changes could lead to more wins. But first, we react to the news that Tubi will be airing a docu-series on Cam Ward's journey from zero-star recruit to number one overall draft pick (2:29). Then, we get to the changes, starting with the front office (10:01) and coaching staff (12:36). Then we get to roster turnover (18:19) and take a break for I'll Drink To That presented by Sinkers Beverages (23:04). Finally, we get to the most important part: philosophical changes on both offense (24:55) and defense (31:47).
