We're glad 5 00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:32,080 Speaker 1: to welcome Titans head coach Brian Callahan back to the 6 00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:33,640 Speaker 1: studio and back to the show. 7 00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:34,960 Speaker 2: Welcome on this Monday. 8 00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:38,440 Speaker 3: Thank you, Brian. Sometimes when you watch the game tape, 9 00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:41,880 Speaker 3: it confirms what you saw. Sometimes it presents different things 10 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:46,640 Speaker 3: that you didn't suspect, maybe some surprises. After watching Sunday's 11 00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:48,920 Speaker 3: game tape, what did you see? 12 00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:49,440 Speaker 2: Well? 13 00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:52,279 Speaker 4: The old adage is usually it's never as good as 14 00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:54,720 Speaker 4: it seems, and it's usually never as bad as it seems. 15 00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:58,120 Speaker 4: I would say that a lot of the things I 16 00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:03,400 Speaker 4: felt during the game were confirmed in watching the game. 17 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:03,720 Speaker 2: Again. 18 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:06,240 Speaker 4: What I mean by that is there's a lot of 19 00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,240 Speaker 4: a lot of really strong performances from a lot of 20 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:14,640 Speaker 4: different groups on the tape, and particularly on defense. I 21 00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,000 Speaker 4: thought of special teams as well. I think those those 22 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:20,040 Speaker 4: areas at a really really nice game. Offensively, we ran 23 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:23,240 Speaker 4: the ball really well, we moved the line of scrimmage, 24 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:26,240 Speaker 4: we were the more physical team for most stretches of 25 00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 4: that game, and it just it comes down to, just 26 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:31,200 Speaker 4: like a lot of games come down to, but this 27 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,960 Speaker 4: one in particular, a set of like really really critical 28 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 4: plays that you make and you win or you don't 29 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 4: and you lose. And there was probably three or four 30 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:42,319 Speaker 4: of them, those two fourth down low red zone plays 31 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:46,479 Speaker 4: for sure that you you convert one of those for sure, 32 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 4: and two of them you can almost guarantee yourself you're 33 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,560 Speaker 4: gonna win. Those are very high leverage spots that that 34 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 4: we didn't come away with the points that we wanted. 35 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 4: But there's a lot of things about how we played, 36 00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 4: some of the individual performances the linebackers and particular the 37 00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 4: way that our guys covered on special teams with a 38 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 4: bunch of young players playing. I just there was a 39 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 4: lot of things that I was encouraged about. If you're 40 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 4: just stepping back from the the loss, there's things that 41 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,240 Speaker 4: I that I can point to that that are what 42 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,079 Speaker 4: we want to be about and that that's encouraging. 43 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 1: The loss is not Are there specific things that the 44 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 1: Titans are doing or not doing well that are leading 45 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 1: to the problems in the red zone. 46 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean we didn't execute down there very well. 47 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 4: We had you know, I think it's the hard part 48 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 4: is when you when you have open guys down there 49 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 4: that we just don't get to. I thought that the 50 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:42,960 Speaker 4: first fourth down, you know, is chick is open and 51 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,240 Speaker 4: the balls should go damn And that's just that's that's 52 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 4: red zone football. And you know, those are the things 53 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:50,639 Speaker 4: that happened sometimes. And then the second one was a 54 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 4: really pretty decent throat at the n w I and 55 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 4: you know, he goes up in the air to go 56 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:57,800 Speaker 4: get in. It's a catch that I bet he makes, 57 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 4: you know, seven six, seven out of ten times. You know, 58 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,520 Speaker 4: it's a degree of difficulty is high. It's not an 59 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,800 Speaker 4: easy catch, but he's a big, strong, physical receiver and 60 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 4: the ball was put in a spot where he get 61 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 4: a chance to get it. And then there's also other 62 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 4: guys in the progression that had a chance if he 63 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:13,800 Speaker 4: didn't get that ball, that they could have got it. 64 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 4: So it's just the passing game down there is all 65 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 4: about timing. It's all about accuracy. Because the windows are tight, 66 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 4: the field shrinks, there's no threat of anything vertical. Everybody 67 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,800 Speaker 4: is right there, so it can be challenging and you 68 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 4: have to be really disciplined with your decision making process. 69 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,800 Speaker 4: You're really disciplined with your accuracy where you put the 70 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 4: ball to have a really good red zone and then 71 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 4: things break down, you got to be able to make 72 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 4: a play. And most red zones, I think if you 73 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 4: watch over the league the red zone scores, I bet 74 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 4: you about half of them are just off schedule plays. 75 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 4: It's just players making plays. It's quarterback extending, it's receivers 76 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 4: working in a scramble drill. Those things are all part 77 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 4: of that process. And disappointing to come away at too 78 00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 4: for two down there when we had opportunities to win 79 00:03:59,480 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 4: the game. 80 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 1: Will Levis's shoulder injury been through this once before. He 81 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 1: came back and played against Indianapolis and then you sat 82 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 1: him for three games. So with having had that experience 83 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 1: with Will and that injury, will you do anything differently 84 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,839 Speaker 1: this time in terms of how you handled him and 85 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 1: or your decision to play. 86 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 4: Yeah, if he's not healthy enough to do a job, 87 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 4: I won't put him out there. I don't think this one, 88 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 4: at least as of right now, felt like it was 89 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 4: It's anywhere near as bad as the Miami initial injury. 90 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,160 Speaker 4: I think it hurt. I think it didn't feel very good, 91 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,839 Speaker 4: but I don't know that the effects are going to 92 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 4: be the same. We'll find out. I don't know for 93 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 4: sure how he's going to come back, you know, tomorrow 94 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 4: and then in a Wednesday. Usually guys are really mother 95 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 4: most sore the second day after the game. It's tomorrow's 96 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:51,039 Speaker 4: where you really find out what it feels like. But yeah, 97 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 4: I'll have the same process. If you can't go out 98 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:56,159 Speaker 4: and do it, you know, I'll make sure that that 99 00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:57,719 Speaker 4: we don't put him in arm's way, because that's not 100 00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,359 Speaker 4: fair to him or for the team to to go 101 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 4: out there and not be able to perform the job 102 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,599 Speaker 4: to the level you're required. So I'll have to be 103 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 4: smart about that. We'll be smart with him, and then 104 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 4: how we evaluate where he's at. I feel pretty good 105 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,159 Speaker 4: right now that there shouldn't be an issue, But again 106 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,920 Speaker 4: I've spoken too soon before, so I'll uh, well, we'll see, 107 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:18,920 Speaker 4: well we saw her, we'll see. 108 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 3: Well from watching the tape, was there any sign that 109 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,520 Speaker 3: that injury limited the way that he was able to 110 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,159 Speaker 3: play within the offense on Sunday? 111 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 4: No, there was nothing that That's why I didn't I 112 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,480 Speaker 4: don't feel as you know, he couldn't throw the football 113 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,480 Speaker 4: in Miami when he got hurt, and he couldn't even 114 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:38,360 Speaker 4: he couldn't really do much of anything, So it was different. 115 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,920 Speaker 4: It wasn't maybe as I think I said, I could 116 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 4: get hurt pretty good, but I don't know if it 117 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 4: was as severe of an actual injury as it was 118 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 4: just the way it felt. So didn't see anything in 119 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 4: the game that would have let me believe it was 120 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,280 Speaker 4: his effectiveness had had Wayne and we were ready to 121 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,279 Speaker 4: put Mason in, and he came out of her halftime 122 00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 4: and said he's good to go, and Todd gave him 123 00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 4: the all good athletic trainer gave him the all clear, 124 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,599 Speaker 4: And so I trust those guys, especially in those moments. 125 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:04,240 Speaker 4: And then we'll see, you know, when we get into 126 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,680 Speaker 4: the rhythm of the week in practice with what that looks. 127 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,039 Speaker 1: Like, does Will Levice need to be running more to 128 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 1: help this offense. 129 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,920 Speaker 4: I wouldn't say there's a lot of opportunities in the 130 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 4: in the game on Sunday, but there's been times we 131 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,159 Speaker 4: pointed out on one and where you can you can escape, 132 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 4: and I thought it was one third down where he 133 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,240 Speaker 4: he escapes left, moves himself out of the pocket, gets 134 00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 4: in position to be a runner, and then Tyler Boyd 135 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 4: does an excellent job of working up the field and 136 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 4: coming back downhill for the first down. It's a really 137 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:32,920 Speaker 4: nice throw on the run. That's you know, that's that's 138 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,039 Speaker 4: where the plays, the bigger plays can be created. You 139 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:38,160 Speaker 4: can create some and there's a balance between trying to 140 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:42,120 Speaker 4: get him to play the position the sort of right way, 141 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 4: and then it's it's awkward how it works. Sometimes it's like, here, 142 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:46,800 Speaker 4: learn how to do this right, and then when you 143 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 4: feel really good about that, you know, then go do 144 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:50,919 Speaker 4: it all the way. You know, there's right, it's a 145 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:52,719 Speaker 4: weird progression, but that's sort of how it works, is 146 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 4: that you you you find these opportunities to extend a play, 147 00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:58,159 Speaker 4: to use your legs, and we've worked a bunch in 148 00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:03,360 Speaker 4: practice with Escape the Pocket with the intent to extend, 149 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 4: you know, that's sort of the next step is, you know, 150 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:07,160 Speaker 4: when you pull up, don't just run right down the 151 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 4: middle of the pocket. See if you can find a 152 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 4: side door scape and get out on the perimeter. And 153 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 4: then if you can run run, if you can create 154 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 4: exposive played on the field to create it that way 155 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 4: as well. So it's a fine line in a balance, 156 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 4: but it's something that we're definitely working on. 157 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 3: Let's switch over to defense for a minute. How did 158 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 3: Luke Gifford play at middle linebacker. 159 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,120 Speaker 4: I thought he played really well. There's a lot going 160 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 4: on there with him, you know, first time probably playing 161 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 4: that many steps at linebacker in a long time, having 162 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:34,560 Speaker 4: the green dot, and being the communicator on game day 163 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 4: with the with the calls of the defense. I really 164 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:39,560 Speaker 4: thought that was a smooth process. It was one that 165 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 4: we were concerned in the sense that he just hadn't 166 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 4: done that very often, and so there's always a concern. 167 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 4: But he did a great job. And I thought he 168 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 4: played physical. I thought he played fast. I thought him 169 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,560 Speaker 4: and Otis really did a nice job, you know, stepping 170 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,160 Speaker 4: up in the moment. And I you know, I think 171 00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 4: I give a lot of credit to Get doesn't probably 172 00:07:57,840 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 4: get as much as he should as Frank Bush. I 173 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 4: think Frank Bush is one of the premier linebacker coaches 174 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:02,880 Speaker 4: in football. And I think you see that with the 175 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:04,600 Speaker 4: amount of guys he's had to get ready to play 176 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 4: and the young players he has, He's he's as good 177 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 4: a football coaches I've ever been around. And I think 178 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 4: he's he's a large part of why those guys were 179 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 4: put in position to play so well. 180 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 1: So we talked about this on the radio. Luke Gifford 181 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 1: had made one other start in his career at Cleveland 182 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:26,120 Speaker 1: last year when the Titans used an extra linebacker package. 183 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 1: So he had never and I mean that was just 184 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 1: for a handful of snaps. He heard a hamstring in 185 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 1: that game anyway, Yea, in his six year NFL career, 186 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 1: he had never played fifty nine snaps in a game. Yeah, 187 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:42,200 Speaker 1: are you surprised that he was able to hold up 188 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 1: and be that effective in that way? 189 00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 2: No, I'm not. 190 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 4: I just I see who Luke is every day here. 191 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 4: You see what I mean, he's playing As a side note, 192 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:57,719 Speaker 4: he's playing at like special teams Pro Bowl level linebacker. 193 00:08:57,800 --> 00:08:59,800 Speaker 4: Like he is as good as specialties player as you 194 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,600 Speaker 4: can find in football, which is why he's here and 195 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:04,840 Speaker 4: why he was brought here initially. Like he's he is 196 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:08,880 Speaker 4: a very very good special teams linebacker. And as most 197 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 4: special teams linebackers go, they usually don't get a lot 198 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,160 Speaker 4: of playing time. They usually they're they're kind of built 199 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,400 Speaker 4: for that purpose and they're really good at it. But 200 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:21,000 Speaker 4: Luke just the way he prepares, his professionalism super impressive 201 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 4: and everything about how he goes by his business. I 202 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:24,800 Speaker 4: am not surprised at all that you go in there 203 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:25,360 Speaker 4: and play like that. 204 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:29,080 Speaker 1: All right, So you mentioned Otis rees you wanted him 205 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 1: in there because Otis likes to hit stuff. He is 206 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:36,160 Speaker 1: very enthusiastic about hitting stuff. You see he did to 207 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 1: the guard and the one play. Yeah, so I'm accurate 208 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,440 Speaker 1: that cur statement. I'm guessing that you got what you 209 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:48,320 Speaker 1: wanted from Otis in terms of the enthusiasm, the aggression, 210 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 1: the thump. 211 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 4: Absolutely he was all of that, and that's what he's 212 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:54,679 Speaker 4: always been. And now he's got an opportunity again. He's 213 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:56,880 Speaker 4: another guy who's really performing well for us on special 214 00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 4: teams too. But for him to step in and play 215 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,760 Speaker 4: that those guys the night before the game that you know, 216 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:06,439 Speaker 4: both him and Luke and Otis had a huge opportunity 217 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 4: in front of him, you know, to play a meaningful 218 00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,840 Speaker 4: NFL football in a starting role and just to see 219 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 4: how hungry and how physical they could be. And they 220 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:16,079 Speaker 4: were fantastic in that regard. 221 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:16,520 Speaker 2: They did. 222 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:18,600 Speaker 4: They did those two things as good as you can 223 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,320 Speaker 4: ask for anybody to do. And you know, Otis is 224 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,640 Speaker 4: is that's the one thing. He's going to play as 225 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:25,160 Speaker 4: fast as he can, and he is going to hit 226 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 4: whatever's in front of him and it's going to hurt. 227 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 4: And that's what you love about him. And there's things 228 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 4: that he can clean up and get better at. But 229 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:32,679 Speaker 4: I was really impressed with both those guys. 230 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:37,200 Speaker 1: Well, he's a guy that, like certain players are in basketball, 231 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 1: you want to see a guy dunk, doesn't matter if 232 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 1: he can shoot or do anything else. Everybody on the 233 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:43,880 Speaker 1: team's like, oh, so and so's good a dunk. Let's 234 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,960 Speaker 1: all watch. Everybody on the team wants to see Otis 235 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 1: hit somebody. 236 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,079 Speaker 2: Yes, and they enjoy it when he does. 237 00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 1: I know, but he's that guy. 238 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,679 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's he was like that in the preseason. 239 00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's one of the reasons why you want a 240 00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,440 Speaker 4: guy like Otis on your team. And he's got athletic 241 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 4: a so he can be good and kick coverage and 242 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:03,840 Speaker 4: those things are all important. And to see him get 243 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:05,559 Speaker 4: an oportunity to play in the game and play well 244 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:07,040 Speaker 4: was was really cool. I think a lot of guys 245 00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 4: root for him. 246 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:12,959 Speaker 1: Did Jarvis Brownlee play as well at the Nickel as 247 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:13,520 Speaker 1: you hoped? 248 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:17,559 Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, he's he was playing outside and bass defense, 249 00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:19,720 Speaker 4: and then he kick inside when when we went to nickel, 250 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,840 Speaker 4: and I thought that was a really impressive thing to do. 251 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 4: I mean, he hadn't been inside in a long time, 252 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 4: and there is nuance to play nickel. 253 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:27,040 Speaker 2: It is not easy. 254 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:31,360 Speaker 4: There's run fits, there's coverage, leverage, there's uh there's a 255 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 4: lot of things that go with it. Takes us a 256 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,760 Speaker 4: really smart player to play nickel well. And I think 257 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,319 Speaker 4: Jarvis just showed his versatility. And you got to be 258 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:40,600 Speaker 4: physical in there. It's a it's a it's it's a 259 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,440 Speaker 4: usually a smaller dB, but it's a big man's position. 260 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:45,040 Speaker 4: You have to play big in there, which is what 261 00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,679 Speaker 4: Roger does so well. Is you got to be physical, 262 00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:48,959 Speaker 4: you got to fit the run, you got to be 263 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,240 Speaker 4: able to do a lot of things. And I thought 264 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:55,120 Speaker 4: Jarvis did a really nice job going in between both spots, 265 00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,880 Speaker 4: playing outside and playing inside, and I think he was 266 00:11:57,920 --> 00:11:59,319 Speaker 4: It was good to see him be able to do that. 267 00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:02,760 Speaker 3: You mentioned special teams players earlier. Was this the most 268 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 3: complete special teams performance you've seen so far this season? 269 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 2: Yeah? I think so. 270 00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:10,400 Speaker 4: I think we covered as in all coverage phases as 271 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:13,840 Speaker 4: good as we've covered major challenge issue to them. I 272 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 4: told them Saturday night that the challenge this week is 273 00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 4: I don't want to see I don't want to see 274 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,840 Speaker 4: the starting field position past the thirty. Too many times 275 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 4: we've given people field position. It's just like a figure 276 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:26,199 Speaker 4: out a way to get him, and we stopped him 277 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 4: inside the thirty every time except for one touchback. They 278 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,559 Speaker 4: wanted to thirty. So I thought that our coverage units 279 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,559 Speaker 4: were fantastic. They played fast, they played physical. I think 280 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:38,480 Speaker 4: the two guys that get a lot of shouldn't deserve 281 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 4: some creditors are two gunners. I think Justin Hardee has been. 282 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 4: He was not in the stat sheet, but his presence 283 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 4: is he gets the double, he gets, he draws penalties, 284 00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,800 Speaker 4: he's a presence people aware. And then Bryce Oliver continues 285 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:53,199 Speaker 4: to really make an impact on special teams as a gunner. 286 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,240 Speaker 4: I thought he was fantastic in the game. Drew a penalty, 287 00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:58,560 Speaker 4: was down for some fair catches, he got the single, 288 00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,760 Speaker 4: he was winning. That's a that's a really awesome thing 289 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:03,320 Speaker 4: to see. He's a guy like Bryce step up and 290 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:04,360 Speaker 4: make special teams plays. 291 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:07,560 Speaker 3: What do you think led to that consistency in the 292 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 3: play was it the challenge that you issued. 293 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 4: I mean, I'm not gonna take credit for that necessarily. 294 00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,160 Speaker 4: I just think I think we've actually played, you know, 295 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:16,960 Speaker 4: pretty good on Special Teams over the last couple of weeks. 296 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:20,839 Speaker 4: And again there's been you know, a particularly a punk 297 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,440 Speaker 4: coverage phase I think has been really pretty good for 298 00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:27,040 Speaker 4: a while now. The kick coverage has had moments, but 299 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,240 Speaker 4: again now we've got some guys get some opportunities to 300 00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:31,280 Speaker 4: play in there. You know, think Julius Chestnut's playing really 301 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:34,560 Speaker 4: well in there and kickoff cover. You know, we we've 302 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:38,679 Speaker 4: thrown d m R played this this week on Special Teams. 303 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:40,920 Speaker 4: Tomy Otacoy play like. There's a bunch of guys in 304 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,120 Speaker 4: there playing. I think James Williams is really starting to 305 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:44,719 Speaker 4: come on as a Special Teams player. So these guys 306 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,560 Speaker 4: are getting better as the year goes on, particularly the 307 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,720 Speaker 4: young players that have had opportunities to play. They're getting 308 00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:52,720 Speaker 4: better every week. And I think you're seeing the result 309 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,480 Speaker 4: of time on task for a lot of these guys 310 00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:57,000 Speaker 4: that are that are new to that that world. 311 00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 5: Hey Titans fans, with a Kroger Boost membership, you'll score 312 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:05,240 Speaker 5: big with double fuel points, free delivery and lots more. 313 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:09,960 Speaker 5: Go to Kroger dot com slash boost for details.

You mentioned in 320 00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:34,400 Speaker 1: your Monday press conference that you were very frank with 321 00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 1: your football team when they came back to work. Mind 322 00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:39,720 Speaker 1: sharing some of the gist of what you were getting 323 00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:41,440 Speaker 1: at with that frankness. 324 00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, the gist of it is that there was really 325 00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 4: a lot of good football on that tape, and there 326 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:51,960 Speaker 4: was a handful of plays that lost the game for us. 327 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:53,920 Speaker 4: And you know, you try to show how how we 328 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,120 Speaker 4: lose games or how you win games every week and 329 00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 4: where the critical factors are. And at the end of 330 00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:02,320 Speaker 4: the DA you have the messages. You got to step back. 331 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 4: We're knocked out a playoff contention. You got to acknowledge it. 332 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:06,800 Speaker 4: You know, it's it's not where we wanted to be, 333 00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 4: where I thought we would be, but we are we're 334 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:11,920 Speaker 4: here where we've won three games, we haven't won enough games, 335 00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:13,960 Speaker 4: and so you got a month left to play. And 336 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:18,080 Speaker 4: I think that's important to be straightforward about that that 337 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,560 Speaker 4: this isn't important. This is important. It's important for a 338 00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:23,400 Speaker 4: couple of reasons. Because there is a future aspect to this. 339 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:26,440 Speaker 4: There is a building for what's next. And look, no 340 00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:28,080 Speaker 4: one wants to hear that with four games to play, 341 00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,120 Speaker 4: but there's only four games left in twenty twenty four, 342 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:32,400 Speaker 4: and then the focus will shift to twenty five, and 343 00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:35,560 Speaker 4: that's an important stretch for us. These are games. You know, 344 00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:38,400 Speaker 4: we got three more divisional games in this stretch. We 345 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 4: got a game against a really good football team that's 346 00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:43,480 Speaker 4: had some struggles as well this year, but in the Bengals. 347 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:46,360 Speaker 4: And I just very much believe that this how you 348 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:49,320 Speaker 4: finish this season sets sets the kind of course and 349 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:51,440 Speaker 4: the foundation for what's next. And I think it's okay 350 00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:53,520 Speaker 4: to say that, it's okay to acknowledge that. And the 351 00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:55,720 Speaker 4: other part of it is that we're all paid professionals. 352 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,720 Speaker 4: Our job is to coach and play football, and the 353 00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:01,680 Speaker 4: expectation is that we do everything we do this week. 354 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:03,480 Speaker 4: In the next four weeks, the exact same way we 355 00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:05,000 Speaker 4: did the first four weeks, and that we go out 356 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,880 Speaker 4: and play and prepare and do everything exactly the same, 357 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:12,560 Speaker 4: and to trust that this process is making we are 358 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:14,760 Speaker 4: making the progress we need to make. We're not necessarily 359 00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:16,400 Speaker 4: having wins and losses a show for it, but we 360 00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:18,800 Speaker 4: have a process in place, and to trust that, and 361 00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:20,760 Speaker 4: to trust in the coaches, and trust in different office, 362 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:22,760 Speaker 4: and trust each other because we have a lot of 363 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:24,560 Speaker 4: young players that are all going to be here next year. 364 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,240 Speaker 4: We got guys in our contract, so these are important games, 365 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:30,600 Speaker 4: and to think anything other than that would be would 366 00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:33,000 Speaker 4: ultimately be unprofessional. And so I just want to make 367 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,520 Speaker 4: sure that message was very clear to them and that 368 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 4: they knew how I felt about it, and that the 369 00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:41,120 Speaker 4: expectation is for them to feel the same. And we've 370 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,200 Speaker 4: played well. This team has been connected all year long. 371 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:45,400 Speaker 4: They play for each other, they do things the right way, 372 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:47,640 Speaker 4: and I love them for it, and I love everything 373 00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,520 Speaker 4: about the stuff that not everybody gets to see every day. 374 00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:51,960 Speaker 4: And I think you guys see a little bit of 375 00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:55,840 Speaker 4: that too. But ultimately that was the main message, like, look, 376 00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:57,880 Speaker 4: it's you know, we're not where we want to be. 377 00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 4: It's not where we thought we'd be. But there are 378 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,920 Speaker 4: an expectation for what for what remains of this season, 379 00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:04,879 Speaker 4: and the expectation is to play well and to do 380 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,480 Speaker 4: the things we've done all year long in the same manner. 381 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:11,439 Speaker 4: And you know, again it's it's it's honest, and but 382 00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:12,560 Speaker 4: you have to be sometimes. 383 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:16,080 Speaker 3: All right, Let's turn to Cincinnati, which they can throw, 384 00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:19,720 Speaker 3: they can score. Joe Burrow and Jamar Chase are both 385 00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:24,359 Speaker 3: having statistically really strong seasons. Why do you think that. 386 00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:26,919 Speaker 2: Is the two best players at their position? 387 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,600 Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, Joe, Joe is Joe has now I 388 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:35,920 Speaker 4: think officially, not that anybody needed to know, but I 389 00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:38,800 Speaker 4: think he's He's been in this spot for two or 390 00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:40,800 Speaker 4: three years now, but now I think this year it's 391 00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:44,680 Speaker 4: it's he's he's totally become a guy that can take 392 00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:47,000 Speaker 4: over a game and there's only a couple of those. 393 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:49,640 Speaker 4: I think he's the best quarterback in football this year. 394 00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:51,960 Speaker 4: I think the way he's played, both statistically and what 395 00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:56,640 Speaker 4: he's done offensively, he is is is playing as the 396 00:17:56,640 --> 00:18:00,240 Speaker 4: best player in football. And I don't I don't vote 397 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:03,280 Speaker 4: for MVPs, but you know, everything about how he's played 398 00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:05,560 Speaker 4: would point to him being the most Valuable player in 399 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,359 Speaker 4: football this year based on what he's done, and he's 400 00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:12,360 Speaker 4: he's fantastic. He's one of one of probably five quarterbacks 401 00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:14,320 Speaker 4: in this league that can that can truly take over 402 00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:18,600 Speaker 4: a game. And then he's he's really, really, really good 403 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:19,520 Speaker 4: at playing quarterback. 404 00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:22,240 Speaker 1: I'm looking for a second on a motion that I'm 405 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:26,199 Speaker 1: trying to make to outlaw wide receivers from LSU in 406 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:30,639 Speaker 1: the NFL. Brian, I'm wondering, would you go with me 407 00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:31,159 Speaker 1: on that? 408 00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:34,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, especially since we have to play against them, So, yeah, we. 409 00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:37,480 Speaker 1: Just played against one who had quite a second half. Correct, 410 00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:40,920 Speaker 1: Young Thomas. Why is Jamar Chase so good? 411 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:45,000 Speaker 4: How much time you want to spend? I'll say this, 412 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:48,639 Speaker 4: this is what I'll give you. My personal opinion is 413 00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:52,400 Speaker 4: one is he is. He is an incredible worker. He's 414 00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:54,840 Speaker 4: probably one of our hardest workers in Cincinnati while I 415 00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:58,960 Speaker 4: was there. He almost never misses practice. He can run 416 00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:03,080 Speaker 4: all day long, so he's he can, he's capable putting 417 00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:06,200 Speaker 4: the work in. He's incredibly intelligent, like his football intelligence 418 00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:09,240 Speaker 4: on where to be, how to get there, what lever 419 00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:13,880 Speaker 4: like fantastic, like off the charts. And then he's got 420 00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:17,359 Speaker 4: a play strength that I think is unique to just 421 00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:21,560 Speaker 4: about maybe him. His ability to stay stacked and not 422 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:25,840 Speaker 4: get moved off the point and play physical are really unique. 423 00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:30,960 Speaker 4: He's got incredibly strong hands, incredibly strong contact balance, He's 424 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:33,560 Speaker 4: a he's a freak athlete on top of it. So 425 00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:36,919 Speaker 4: he just has this package of things physically that are 426 00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:38,480 Speaker 4: better than most people on the planet. 427 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:39,119 Speaker 2: Uh. 428 00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:41,320 Speaker 4: And then he's got the mindset to go with it. 429 00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:43,159 Speaker 4: And and that's what makes him great. And that's what 430 00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:45,920 Speaker 4: all great players are like. And you know, one of 431 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:49,080 Speaker 4: the things that that I think sets him apart from 432 00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:51,120 Speaker 4: everybody in the league is you know, when he puts 433 00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:53,080 Speaker 4: his helmet on and puts a chin strap on, you 434 00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:54,919 Speaker 4: know he's going to go on the field and he's 435 00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:56,840 Speaker 4: going to try to take your soul. And I think 436 00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:58,760 Speaker 4: the quarterback's the same way. And you got two guys 437 00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:02,360 Speaker 4: like that, and and and it shows what with their production, 438 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:03,920 Speaker 4: what they do on a week to week. 439 00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:07,960 Speaker 3: Basis watching these guys as the opponent, is that the 440 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,639 Speaker 3: weirdest part about this week getting ready to go up 441 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:11,680 Speaker 3: against your former team. 442 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:13,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean that that part is weird because it's 443 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,399 Speaker 4: like I've spent you know, I spent five years in 444 00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:20,200 Speaker 4: the NFL is a lifetime. I mean, that's a long 445 00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,040 Speaker 4: time to be anywhere, and you're lucky if you can 446 00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,879 Speaker 4: get to that point. And I've also seen them grow up, 447 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,320 Speaker 4: you know. I was with both those guys as rookies 448 00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:28,879 Speaker 4: and a lot of those players for a long time 449 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,080 Speaker 4: and to see where they're at and what they've turned 450 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:33,639 Speaker 4: into and the types of players that we thought they 451 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:35,840 Speaker 4: were capable of being, and now that they are. You 452 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:39,400 Speaker 4: see it weekly that they're the best in football. It's 453 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:41,640 Speaker 4: it's a weird thing. It's like, I'm proud and I'm 454 00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:43,760 Speaker 4: happy for him, and then I'm like, oh, we got 455 00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:45,880 Speaker 4: to play these guys and we got to defend them, 456 00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:49,360 Speaker 4: so that part is not as exciting. I can see 457 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,400 Speaker 4: why people had had trouble trying to get ready for 458 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:55,359 Speaker 4: those years in Cincinnati and how how hard it was 459 00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:56,480 Speaker 4: to get ready for those guys. 460 00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:00,560 Speaker 1: Hey, Titans fans see makes it easy to find tickets 461 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,200 Speaker 1: so you can be a part of all the touchdown 462 00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:04,560 Speaker 1: celebrations this season. 463 00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,320 Speaker 6: Whether you're buying or selling football tickets, seat geek is 464 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:09,680 Speaker 6: the place to do it.
