1
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:07,800
Speaker 1: Okay, Well we're in a little bit ahead this week

2
00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:10,000
Speaker 1: with uh with ton of suit just you know, a

3
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 1: good thing. Definitely need the extra time for them, and um, yeah,

4
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:16,680
Speaker 1: as usual, they got a good football team. Mike and

5
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 1: John has done a really good job down there putting

6
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:23,279
Speaker 1: that together, physical team in all three phases of the game.

7
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 1: You know, they play very good situational football. They won

8
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 1: a lot of close games in the last two years.

9
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:34,879
Speaker 1: And yeah, I make here and everything, they don't make

10
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 1: many mistakes. And um, they're just a good, hard nosed,

11
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 1: tough football team in all areas at the games. So

12
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,919
Speaker 1: you got suposed way to sum it up. Build. There

13
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 1: seems to be some controversy in your team with Matthew

14
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 1: Judo statement about macaroni and cheese, a lot of controversy today.

15
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 1: How do you feel about macaroni and Jesus that? Yeah,

16
00:00:54,600 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 1: I'm good, you can really feeling okay, great compare something

17
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 1: always Yeah, I'm good. Um. We just asked Hunter about

18
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 1: Michael Winner's work at tight end, um, and you pointed

19
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 1: out and then when you get those two big guys together,

20
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:21,399
Speaker 1: might and Trent's on the same side that I think

21
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 1: the way what it was that's a sight to see. Um,

22
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: what are the advantages for your offense when you're able

23
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:31,119
Speaker 1: to get those guys together like that? Uh yeah, that's

24
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 1: a big physical guys. I thought about it. Um, so

25
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: yeah again, you know, all things you do offensive layer

26
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:40,400
Speaker 1: to try to gain an advantage on the defense. And

27
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: you can do that, then you probably want to do it,

28
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 1: and if you can't, then probably want to find something else.

29
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 1: We both those guys kind of fit under the category

30
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: of you know, they don't they don't grow on trees

31
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 1: types of couraging to say that before about bigger body guys. Yeah,

32
00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: I mean there's not a lot of three hundred down

33
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 1: you guys, a lot around street anyway, three hundred, three

34
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:11,919
Speaker 1: fifty whatever they are. Yeah, they're hard to fund. That

35
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,799
Speaker 1: stands out to you. About the Titans offensive lines, like

36
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 1: they've been to go a while. Yeah, I might agree

37
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 1: with that. They work all together. Um yeah, they've had

38
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: a couple subs here and there, you know where. Um,

39
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: the want is out for a couple of games. Um

40
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 1: the right guard is out for a couple of games.

41
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:38,679
Speaker 1: Um we replaced him. Um Quisenberry missed a game, you know, so,

42
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: But for the most part they've been there and they've

43
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: been pretty consistent. Um. Um suddenly Saffold you know, has

44
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,919
Speaker 1: been a solid guy for him left guard and the

45
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 1: wanna left tackle Jones at center. So um, you know

46
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: those are you guys. But you know we played against

47
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 1: four or the five last year or two years ago

48
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,959
Speaker 1: whatever it was. So they work all together. Um, they're

49
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 1: good run blocking line and even does a good job

50
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 1: at tight end. He's not another lineman, but he's sort

51
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 1: of another lineman and um, and you know, and they

52
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,519
Speaker 1: employ full back to you know, Carter blasting games, so

53
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 1: they get you know, different combinations in the running game.

54
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:18,119
Speaker 1: And and you know they're all pretty effective everyone every

55
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: week you see it's like fire. It's making it play.

56
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 1: See of them, no doubt. Yep. Yeah, he's very productive.

57
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 1: This guy's a good nose for the ball. He's around

58
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 1: the ball. Um, it's good on disguises and and um

59
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 1: he's got he's got good envision, good anticipation and it's

60
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: a really productive players of course. Yeah, well, I mean,

61
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 1: you know, Landry Autry and those guys are really disruptive

62
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 1: guys outside Simmons um you know inside again, they they're

63
00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: they're very good fundamental team. Um, you know, it's not

64
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 1: a lot of exotics. Um man, do they give different

65
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 1: looks and all that, but you know, they don't play

66
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 1: you know a lot of different things. They just playing

67
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: very well. And they're hard to block. Linebackers, um you know,

68
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: fill their gaps well, they tackle well. You know, it's

69
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:19,919
Speaker 1: just a good, solid, sound, fundamental football team. And they

70
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:21,720
Speaker 1: don't try to like out gadget you and all that.

71
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 1: They you know, keep you honest with a little pressure

72
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: here and there, and you know, mixing some some blit

73
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: zones with their zones. But they they're really just a good, solid, sound,

74
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,720
Speaker 1: fundamental team. But I mean you got to stop buyer.

75
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 1: Landry's a dynamic player, and you know simmons Is pushes

76
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:45,840
Speaker 1: the pocket in the middle, which really helps Landry on

77
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 1: the edge, Autry on the edge, and and um yeah,

78
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 1: I'm an eral hard block. So they do a good job.

79
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: So Larry's built between um well, you see the Titans

80
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 1: and what you guys saw on Thursday, just because yeah, yeah,

81
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 1: there's some similarities. Does that help with the preparation at all?

82
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: I mean, even you know offensively at the time, it

83
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 1: feels like you guys have seen a lot of these

84
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 1: offenses that kind of are coming from a similar treat

85
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 1: um as well. So does that help as you as

86
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 1: you go through a week, Yeah, a little bit of thing.

87
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 1: It speeds up the communication process and you can certainly

88
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 1: relate something this week that you've talked about in a

89
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 1: previous week, and you know, players have a recall or

90
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: a picture of it what you're talking about. Quicker. Sure.

91
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:34,840
Speaker 1: So Cameron mcgrowan and Joshua Bledsoe or to practice, what

92
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 1: did you observe from them just this year in terms

93
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:38,480
Speaker 1: of their work ethic to get to the point that

94
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: they could practice and the Yeah, they worked really hard. Um, yeah,

95
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 1: worked really hard, and I know they're excited to be

96
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 1: out there. Yesterday is going to see him out there.

97
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 1: So you get him out there and see it goes.

98
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 1: Were they able to take part in meetings to maybe

99
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 1: help me? Okay, so maybe that puts them in a

100
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,599
Speaker 1: little different spot than let's say something coming off the street.

101
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: Oh yeah for sure. Okay, Yeah, they've done everything they

102
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,719
Speaker 1: can do. Um, you know they're both coming off injuries

103
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 1: that it just didn't allow them to participate until um,

104
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 1: but this week yesterday, Christian Barmore said he's talking pretty

105
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,280
Speaker 1: much really instead. That's been a big factor in him

106
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 1: plan as well as he has just what if you

107
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 1: learn about him since you got him in the building here. No,

108
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 1: he tries very hard to do whatever you tell him

109
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 1: to do. You know, you just have to. It's in

110
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 1: a different at this level, and there's different different keys,

111
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 1: different things to do in certain situations. Um, but he's

112
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,600
Speaker 1: done a good job of adapting to those and and UM,

113
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 1: you know, if you tell him to try to do something,

114
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 1: you know, he definitely definitely tries to do it. So, UM,

115
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 1: I really appreciate that about him. He's gotten better on

116
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 1: all three downs and yep, he's he's improving every day.

117
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 1: Is there anything that stands out about his personality kind

118
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:56,840
Speaker 1: of off the field. His teammate seem to appreciate his

119
00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 1: energy and he called it goofiness yesterday. Yeah, I mean

120
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,600
Speaker 1: he works hard, he's um and he's always goes hard.

121
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 1: You never tell him to pick it up. He always

122
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 1: goes as a good pace and and you know it

123
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 1: works hard. He's got good energy, loves football, loves to play.

124
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 1: But so yeah, we gotta enjoy that. We were just

125
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 1: talking to Kendrick and he mentioned how he never been

126
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: used as a ball carrier and when he was in

127
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 1: San Francisco, what about his skill set made you guys

128
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 1: think that he could be proactive in that role. And

129
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 1: how's he been able to help you do that this season?

130
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 1: I think he's improved. You know, he's improved as a

131
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 1: ball carrier. Um some of our players have which is good.

132
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 1: UM but yeah, I mean, if you can get the

133
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 1: ball to skill players and they can make yards on round,

134
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 1: that's you know, that's a great thing. So so it's

135
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 1: not all airy yards. It can be right after catch

136
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:51,239
Speaker 1: and you know, breaking a tackle or you know, getting

137
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 1: an open space to gain extra yardage and catching run

138
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 1: plays things like that. So you know, he's done a

139
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 1: good job of that, and I think he continues to

140
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 1: get better. Umling receivers run game help when you're running

141
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 1: between the taps where it's self or less root year backs.

142
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 1: Well when the when the dvs come up, they try

143
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 1: to support the run and you go in there and

144
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 1: block them, and that's you know, hopefully we can get

145
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 1: one for one and create space for the runner. Um.

146
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:33,319
Speaker 1: But also there's the opportunities to play action and get

147
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,559
Speaker 1: space in the defense when the linebackers and the and

148
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,199
Speaker 1: safeties come toward the line of scrimmage, and sometimes that

149
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:42,079
Speaker 1: slows down there their second air support you know, on

150
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:47,199
Speaker 1: future plays. Not always some players come come about the

151
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 1: same every time, but um, you know, some guys become

152
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 1: more cautious and more concerned about the passing game. Uh.

153
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 1: And you know, hopefully we can you know, use those

154
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,439
Speaker 1: blocks to look the same as the pass routes and

155
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 1: then either slow down the run for us or run

156
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:08,319
Speaker 1: pass them and play action routes. Build. Some of the

157
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 1: players here today have said, you know, a message from

158
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 1: the coaching staff is that the season gets even more

159
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:17,079
Speaker 1: important after Thanksgiving? Is that something a message that you

160
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 1: relate to them? And why is that important to emphasize?

161
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 1: I mean, gonna talk to the players every day, so

162
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 1: there was always a message there. So every game is important.

163
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 1: It's a big game for us. So I'm gonna put

164
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 1: everything we have into this one and trying to be

165
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:35,839
Speaker 1: ready to go on Sunday. Build a team, like the

166
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 1: Titan said, yesterday makes thirteen transactions and some of those

167
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 1: are going to affect the personnel you'll see on Sunday.

168
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 1: How do you balance you know, introducing all the players

169
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 1: your players might see versus obviously overloading them with new

170
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 1: information that was new yesterday. Well, I mean we have

171
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:54,839
Speaker 1: to keep up with all the all the players, all

172
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 1: players that are eligible and potentially kind of show up

173
00:09:57,920 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 1: on the field. I think you've got to prepare your

174
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 1: team or that eventuality, Um, someone will someone won't. Um,

175
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 1: that's out of our control. And honestly, Tennessee might not

176
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,439
Speaker 1: know for sure exactly who's gonna I mean that's certainly

177
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:13,199
Speaker 1: the way it is for me. It's times where I

178
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 1: don't know if who's gonna play until sometimes Sunday morning

179
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 1: or pregame workouts. So, um, it is what it is.

180
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 1: And it's like that every week in the NFL. I mean,

181
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 1: there are always guys that are maybe they're gonna play,

182
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 1: maybe they're not. You know, teams make roster moves pretty

183
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 1: regularly and put guys on the practice squad. Um, you know,

184
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 1: like Tate, who could play like Stills did for New

185
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 1: Orleans or he could not. Mean I don't know, So

186
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 1: we'll have to be ready for him, and you gonna

187
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 1: see how it ghost during the game, try to figure

188
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 1: it out. I mean, we have pretty good idea what

189
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 1: some of those guys can do. Played against some of

190
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 1: them in the past, But how Tennessee chooses to use them,

191
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 1: I mean, that's you know, we won't know that until

192
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 1: game time. What sort of difference. Yeah, he's outstanding player.

193
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 1: It's even a really hard to tackle, big, huge target,

194
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 1: aggressively gets of all good route runner, miracle routes stuff

195
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 1: over the middle, catching run, plays, hard to tackle, strong kid.

196
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 1: What they like about him? Okay, all right, thank you,
