Speaker 2: Well, the OTP is for the ot people, that's right,

10
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 2: and this is a prime example of it.

11
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:47,520
Speaker 1: It is a prime example. We ask you to visit

12
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:52,519
Speaker 1: if you're a person who visited my Instagram account, which

13
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 1: is at ten Voice at t E N N Voice,

14
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 1: we ask you to submit your questions for Coach Mac

15
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 1: because every body always wants to know what does Coach

16
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 1: Mac think about this? What does he think about that?

17
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 1: I couldn't get through on Mac Talk and so here

18
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 1: on this edition of the OTP, we have placed Coach

19
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 1: Mac squarely in the Snickers hot seat and Rhett and

20
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: I will be feeding him your question. So here we go.

21
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: I'm going to go first. After being at both the

22
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 1: college and NFL levels of coaching. What do you think

23
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 1: is the biggest difference from a coach's perspective.

24
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 3: The level of preparation. You know, in college you're limited

25
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 3: with a number of hours you can have. The National

26
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 3: Football League it's twenty five to seven. Just the college

27
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 3: of just just just the level of not only preparation,

28
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 3: but the level of intensity that you have with your

29
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 3: players preparing because this is their livelihood, this is everything.

30
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 3: And so all professional players want is what can you

31
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 3: do to help my game? And they don't. They don't

32
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 3: want they don't want a lot of verbiage. All they

33
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 3: what can you specifically do to help me every week

34
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 3: in my career so that I can prolong it. But

35
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 3: just the intensity of the preparation is a huge difference.

36
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 2: When you were asked to come on Titans Radio with

37
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 2: Mike Keith, who was someone you studied on in broadcasting,

38
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 2: to prepare you for the role as color analysts, you know.

39
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 3: That's a that to me is a great question because really,

40
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 3: before Mike called me, I never really thought about doing this,

41
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 3: and he didn't give me much time. We didn't have

42
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 3: much time because because I understand now the circumstances, but

43
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 3: I was. I was called on a Monday, and as

44
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 3: we were talking through it, I said, well, when do

45
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 3: you need me there? And he said, well, we're going

46
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 3: to New York Saturday. And I went this Saturday, and

47
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 3: so so I really didn't have a whole lot of time,

48
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:53,919
Speaker 3: you know, to to do that. Since then, since then,

49
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 3: I pay a lot of attention, you know, to the

50
00:02:56,160 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 3: broadcasting and and and what's and what's going on. And

51
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:05,799
Speaker 3: I know that he's not a play by play guy,

52
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 3: but I've always always been a huge, huge Jim Dance

53
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 3: fan just by the fact of just how professional he

54
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 3: handles what goes on.

55
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:15,799
Speaker 1: And so.

56
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 2: We're talking about a gold standard broadcaster.

57
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 3: Well, but I mean I think that's what Titans Radio is,

58
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 3: is a gold standard. And so anyway, there you go.

59
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 1: What is the best name of a play call that

60
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:31,079
Speaker 1: you've ever heard?

61
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 3: Now, I'm in a defensive coach until I was a

62
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 3: head coach, and then I was an assistant head coach,

63
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 3: so I was in charge of all of it, but defensively,

64
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 3: when you have to call out the formations as far

65
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 3: as they line up in King's trip speed flip left,

66
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 3: X y Z E O yo motion, whie flaire.

67
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 1: So what is that defense.

68
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 3: King's trip speed is eleven personnel. Okay, because in the

69
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 3: National Football League some people numbers you know, ten, eleven, twelve, twenty,

70
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 3: and some people use deck of cards ace King's queens,

71
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 3: you know, flush jacks. So King's is eleven personnel. Trip's

72
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 3: speed means all three receivers on the one side of

73
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 3: the formation. The tight end is X. He's on the

74
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 3: wide side of the formation. On the trip speed side,

75
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 3: You've got you've got, you've got, you've got z W

76
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 3: and y yo yo motion. Okay, King's trip speed, you've

77
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 3: got yo yo motion. That means the inside receiver from

78
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,840
Speaker 3: the speed side starts to the center and then yo

79
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 3: yo's back to get into what we call a nine

80
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 3: ball stack on the three receiver side. That's what that is.

81
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:46,480
Speaker 1: Okay, yep, your question right, Yeah, Wow, Do do you remember

82
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 1: all that? That's an excellent fun the.

83
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:53,039
Speaker 3: Same way you remember everything you remember. I mean, you've

84
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 3: got I've done it for a long time, a long time.

85
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 3: It's been my life, and so you know I that's

86
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 3: how I've been doing it a long time, same way

87
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 3: you and you've got it. When I first went to

88
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,039
Speaker 3: the Bears, they didn't ask this question. But it was

89
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 3: before we had computers, and so you know, I was

90
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:16,040
Speaker 3: the linebacker coach, but I was also the defensive quality

91
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 3: control coach. And so the the playbook that we put

92
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 3: together to incorporate Buddy Ryan's forty six and then Vince

93
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 3: Tobin's defenses, you had to draw it all by hand.

94
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:28,840
Speaker 3: You had to draw it all by hand, and then

95
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:30,840
Speaker 3: you wrote it out, and then you gave it to

96
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 3: the secretary and she typed it, you know, on that

97
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 3: on that paper that made that made copies, and then

98
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 3: you rent it off, you know, on the machine. So

99
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 3: I wrote that whole thing. I wrote the whole thing.

100
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 3: And so when you do that, you learn it.

101
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: It becomes that say say that again one more time.

102
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 3: King's trip speed flip left x y. Why why yo

103
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 3: yo motion?

104
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:54,600
Speaker 1: Isn't that a great example as you repeat that of

105
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:59,919
Speaker 1: why young players, rookies have such a hard time coming

106
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 1: to the NFL where they don't have play calls, especially

107
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 1: the offensive players. They don't have play calls. They never

108
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:10,040
Speaker 1: deal with it. They just see cards on the sidelines

109
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 1: and that tells them what to do.

110
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 3: That's a perfect example why it really is.

111
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 1: That's got to be brutal.

112
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 3: It really is. And that is that's a defensive version

113
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 3: of that, you know, being able to talk about like

114
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 3: on the headset, what are they doing? Mike, I got

115
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,720
Speaker 3: King's trip speed flip left. You know X, Y and

116
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,480
Speaker 3: Y you know yo yo. Before we had all of

117
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:36,159
Speaker 3: these tablets and things, the West Coast offense is even

118
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 3: more intricate than that coming from the offensive side of it.

119
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 1: Wow, mind blown, Mind blown.

120
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 2: All right, this one, This is an excellent conversation at

121
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 2: OTP to begin with. This is gonna raise it a notch.

122
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 2: Do you think NFL officiating is getting worse better or

123
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 2: is it staying the same. Because I listened to you

124
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:59,159
Speaker 2: and Mike during Titans games and I always agree with

125
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 2: your assessments on what's happening on the field.

126
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 3: It's not as good as it used to be. It's

127
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 3: not as good as it used to be from top

128
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 3: to bottom. I think, you know, a lot of the

129
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 3: best officials right now are in the television booth, and

130
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 3: you've had some really really veteran officials retire, and so

131
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 3: people coming in it's just like rookie players coming in.

132
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 3: They have to learn the game. They have to learn

133
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 3: the game, and they only. You can't manufacture experience in

134
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 3: any profession, but especially in this business because everything is

135
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 3: so immediate, and that's why you see so many And

136
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 3: when I'm sitting up there with Mike Keith and I

137
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 3: mean he's always spot on with I mean, he can

138
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 3: call out and tell you what the penalty is and

139
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 3: how much they should market off and where the ball

140
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 3: should be immediately, because those are the details you have.

141
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 3: And we've seen games as to when you know they've

142
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 3: marked off twelve yard penalties and there's not twelve yard

143
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 3: penalties on a ten yard penalty play you know from

144
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 3: so just the administration of it, it's not as good

145
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 3: as it's it's really not.

146
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 1: Hey, Titans fans, it's always game on with Duncan, So

147
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 1: grab a coffee and kick off the action. Whether that's

148
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: drinking a cup of coffee on your way to the game,

149
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 1: we're grabbing one to go before watching the game at home.

150
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 1: Duncan is always there to help you get your game on.

151
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:18,000

153
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 1: most important part of your game day ritual because it's

154
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 1: always the best call for football America runs on Duncan

155
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 1: your questions for coach Mac. You submitted them to me

156
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 1: at ten Voice my Instagram account, and we're passing them on.

157
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 1: Titan's immediate football question comes next as well as Taj

158
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: Spears is playing right now? What ways can Tim Kelly

159
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 1: keep he and Derrick Henry involved without limiting snaps or

160
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 1: telegraphing plays.

161
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 3: Pony personnel is what we've seen both in the backfield

162
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 3: at the same time and what we call a red set.

163
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 3: You've already seen that. We saw it a lot, you know,

164
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 3: during the practices we get to go to before the

165
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 3: season started that we can't talk about, but we saw

166
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 3: him doing that a lot and there, and he's using

167
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 3: it in a red set, which is a split back set,

168
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 3: and and he's he's alternated whether he sets Uh Derek

169
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:18,960
Speaker 3: to the tight side of the formation or to the

170
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 3: open side of the formation. And you're gonna you're gonna

171
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 3: see a lot of different plays come off of this

172
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,679
Speaker 3: because it opens up a multitude of things you can

173
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 3: do bringing him across the backfield, double screens, there's a

174
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 3: lot of things that he can do. I mean that

175
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 3: just a myriad of it. And plus with the threat

176
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 3: of both of them being able to run, and they're

177
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:41,559
Speaker 3: distinctly different runners, but they're both very effective with what

178
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 3: they do. The Pony personnel I think will start seeing

179
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 3: more and more of.

180
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:48,960
Speaker 2: After the first two games of the season. What is

181
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 2: your opinion on Tim Kelly as the offensive coordinator.

182
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,080
Speaker 3: I think he does a nice job of layering calls

183
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:57,559
Speaker 3: and layering calls. As a defensive coach, you always when

184
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 3: you when you're you're scouting the guy that's called in plays,

185
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 3: that's your opponent. You want to see first of all,

186
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 3: if he's layers calls, which means is he building calls

187
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:09,200
Speaker 3: one upon the other with his personnel groups depending on

188
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 3: what you've deployed over there on defense? And then is

189
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 3: he stacking calls? And then the other part is is

190
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 3: he setting up calls because the really good play callers

191
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 3: set calls up. In other words, they'll set calls up

192
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 3: series by series, set calls up by you know, put

193
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 3: put a certain personnel group out there in a certain formation,

194
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 3: see how the defense on a down and distance is

195
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 3: going to adjust to it, and then come back to

196
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 3: something that can counter the way he now sees the

197
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 3: defense setting up to that. I think he does.

198
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,440
Speaker 1: All of that, all right, So I've got two sort

199
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 1: of back to back here that tie in. If it's okay,

200
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 1: coach Mack and the Snickers hot seat. Here it comes

201
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 1: coach Mack, who is the one current player in the

202
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:53,560
Speaker 1: NFL you wish you could coach that.

203
00:10:55,840 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 3: I like that, I like like, I like that question

204
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 3: a lot that can either be offensively.

205
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, does not say defense, or it could be anybody.

206
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 3: Well, I'd love to have Miles Garrett.

207
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: I thought you were going to say.

208
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 3: That if I'm calling defense?

209
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 1: Why why is he so different than like other edge rusher.

210
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 3: He's a big man. He's a big man that plays

211
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 3: like a little man. He can, he's speed to power,

212
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 3: he's athletic out through the roof. But he's also a

213
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 3: gunbay bend the edge guy. You can line him up

214
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 3: in multiple places. He can stand up in two point,

215
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 3: he can go down in three point, he can he

216
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 3: can do it all. He's the number one pick in

217
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 3: the draft for a reason, the number one. Some number

218
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:47,079
Speaker 3: one picks in the drafts have not been legitimate players.

219
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 3: This guy is a physical phenom and he's a good,

220
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 3: good football player that you can do so much with.

221
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 3: And he's a smart.

222
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,679
Speaker 1: Guy two hundred and seventy five pounds plays like a

223
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 1: guy two thirty five or two forty in terms of

224
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 1: his movement.

225
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:03,680
Speaker 3: You got it? I mean right there. And plus I

226
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 3: mean he's a he's a relentless player. He is relentless.

227
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 3: He was that he was that way at Texas A

228
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:10,959
Speaker 3: and m I mean he's a special, special player.

229
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:12,960
Speaker 1: All right. So this may be the same answer. If

230
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 1: you could add one NFL defensive player to the Titans

231
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 1: roster this year, who would you add? And why?

232
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 3: Well, how about that dude?

233
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,319
Speaker 1: Well that's what I figured you say. So let's take

234
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 1: Miles Garrett out. Who else would be a guy that

235
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 1: you would add? If you could add one defensive player

236
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:34,200
Speaker 1: to the Titans roster this year? Who would you add?

237
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 1: And why?

238
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 3: I would really I would really like to be able

239
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 3: to I would really like to be able to add

240
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:47,679
Speaker 3: a shutdown corner. Okay, just a true uh true. Now

241
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 3: that that can be a varied opinion on who that

242
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 3: dude is, but to me, one of the best pure

243
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 3: shutdown corners in this league. Still now we're saying that

244
00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 3: he's completely healthy. Is a jailing Rams?

245
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 1: Kaylen Rams?

246
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,320
Speaker 3: Yeah? And some guy can just because with. I had

247
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 3: one of those guys in my long coaching career in

248
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 3: Anias Williams, and I could do anything I wanted with him.

249
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 3: And we were in the NFC East at the time,

250
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 3: and I could I knew going in game planning against

251
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 3: the Cowboys twice a year that I could tell him

252
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 3: in that first meeting, Nicky, you've got Michael Irving and

253
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 3: the rest of the ten of you, here's what we're

254
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 3: going to do to try to stop the rest of them.

255
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 3: You know, EMMITTT. Smith and all that group. But when

256
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 3: you have that guy, it's a special feeling as a

257
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:35,840
Speaker 3: defensive coordinator when you're able to do that. All those

258
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:39,440
Speaker 3: teams that Dion Sanders played for, that was the guy

259
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 3: and it makes a big difference.

260
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 2: All Right, this was going to take a minute to

261
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:47,680
Speaker 2: lay out here in your answer, but this person's asking

262
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 2: explain fourth quarter roles of a head coach, including challenges, coaching,

263
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 2: play calling, clock management, and any other duties.

264
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 3: Well, first of all, all of that when you when

265
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:02,680
Speaker 3: you're in a assistant coach, you very rarely think of

266
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 3: any of that, you know, because you're you're dialed in,

267
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:08,680
Speaker 3: you're dealing in with your people. If you're coordinator. You

268
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 3: know you're working your side of the ball. As when

269
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 3: I became a head coach and you you're in, you're

270
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 3: thrown into a different world of the game. The world

271
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 3: managing a game is much different than coaching a position

272
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 3: during during a game, and so you have to be

273
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 3: aware of everything. And the other thing. The thing that

274
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 3: happens to though, guys, is it's really really important to

275
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 3: have somebody you really trust in the box. You've got

276
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 3: to have somebody you really trust. You've got to make

277
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 3: the call. But if you've got somebody in the box

278
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 3: you can trust that can give you information when you

279
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 3: ask for it in an instant, in an instant, and

280
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 3: especially with the challenges and those types of things that

281
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 3: make a huge difference uh managing time outs or being

282
00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 3: able to to play the clock game. I was very

283
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 3: fortunate in my career to start out Mike Ditka was

284
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 3: really good at this stuff, and I come here and

285
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 3: work for Jeff Fisher. Jeff Fisher was really good at

286
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 3: this stuff, and so you know when I became a

287
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 3: head coach that I would pick the brains of those

288
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 3: guys as to how it was. Dan Reeves was really good,

289
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 3: so I would sit with those guys, you know, when

290
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 3: I would have opportunities to just what we're doing right

291
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 3: now and talk about those instances. But they come up,

292
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 3: and they happen so fast that you've got to go

293
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 3: into it. You can prepare all you want, but you

294
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 3: have to be able to react in the moment. But

295
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 3: you have to have a real working knowledge of the

296
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 3: rules because the rules make a difference. Mike Rabel's got

297
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 3: a great handle on this. He understands the game within

298
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 3: the game, but as a head coach much different than

299
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 3: being a coordinator because now you're playing the big picture

300
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 3: throughout all of it. As to where coordinators are playing

301
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 3: their side of it.

302
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 1: Coach Mackett doesn't come up often, but I think the

303
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 1: rule about fumbling the ball through the end zone is

304
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 1: maybe the worst rule in all of sports. Would you

305
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 1: be in favor of changing this rule? And do you

306
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 1: think it would pass if it was presented to the

307
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 1: competition committee.

308
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 3: It's been presented for years and it's never has passed.

309
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 3: And the reasoning is is the end zone is it

310
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 3: is an entity unto itself, is an entity unto itself,

311
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 3: and so things are different down there, and there there

312
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 3: is a premium on holding on to the football until

313
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 3: you cross the goal line. And that's always been I mean,

314
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 3: I've been in you know, I've been in meetings, uh

315
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 3: you know where it was, competition committees, I've been I've

316
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 3: been through all of this. It this is not the

317
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 3: first time that's come up, But that is the is

318
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 3: the argument that the the goal line is is the

319
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 3: is the final outcome of what offenses are trying to do.

320
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 3: And part of the goal line is getting the ball

321
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 3: over the goal line. Get the ball over the goal line.

322
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 3: And if you tried and you failed to do that,

323
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 3: then there there should be some sort of retribution rather

324
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 3: than just saying the ball's out of bounds. If you

325
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:06,199
Speaker 3: fumble it through the end zone and you don't and

326
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 3: you know, and and it has it crossed the goal

327
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:11,199
Speaker 3: line and you're not in possession, not in possession of it,

328
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 3: then it comes back out to the twenty. I don't

329
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 3: think they'll ever change it.

330
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 1: I think it makes total sense because, I mean, what's

331
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:19,159
Speaker 1: the object of the game is to score more points

332
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 1: than the other team. You score points in various ways,

333
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 1: but the most obvious way is to score a touchdown,

334
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:28,120
Speaker 1: which is to be in possession of the ball when

335
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 1: you break the plane. And if you're not in possession

336
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 1: of the ball when you break the plane, then it's it.

337
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:36,440
Speaker 1: There has to be a punishment for that if you

338
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:41,159
Speaker 1: get there and you you fumble. I think, you know,

339
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 1: talking to Rabel, he certainly doesn't ever think it'll pass

340
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 1: competition committee while he's on there.

341
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 3: No, and it sounds like you've been in the competition committee,

342
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 3: you know who you sounded like just then. And this

343
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:54,880
Speaker 3: is a real compliment, okay, Mike Pereira. Oh well, thank

344
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 3: you Mike Periri.

345
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 1: By the way, can we shout him out and hope

346
00:17:58,080 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 1: he feels better?

347
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 3: He's what a good good dude, what a great person.

348
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 3: And you talk about the officiating that we talked about earlier, Yeah, when.

349
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 1: He was in charge, perfection well and the other I

350
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 1: tell you what Perreira brought to it. He brought a

351
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:14,920
Speaker 1: transparency and a clarity to it. When he was doing

352
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,439
Speaker 1: it for the league, it was and some of the

353
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 1: other guys, Dean Blandino did a good job, but Pereira

354
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 1: was the gold standard because suddenly, I mean they were

355
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 1: a little bit like the Wizard of Oz ignored the

356
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 1: man behind the curtain, sort of we don't ever question it.

357
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:32,880
Speaker 1: And Perira took that down. He said, wow, we didn't

358
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 1: get this one right, or we did get this one right,

359
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:38,199
Speaker 1: or here's why we're doing this, And a lot of

360
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 1: times when they explain things like we've just had the

361
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:43,160
Speaker 1: discussion about fumbling the ball of the end zone, when

362
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 1: you stop and think about it in that way, it

363
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 1: makes more sense. A lot of the talking heads on

364
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 1: TV and in media just saying, oh, that's awful, Well,

365
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:56,639
Speaker 1: they don't stop and think about why the rules of

366
00:18:56,680 --> 00:19:00,159
Speaker 1: the game were put into effect, and the game that

367
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 1: way still hasn't changed. We we don't win games on

368
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:07,439
Speaker 1: stats in Fantasy on Sundays. We win games by who

369
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:11,680
Speaker 1: scores the most points. And the end zone is sacred.

370
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 3: That and that and see, and that's why I say,

371
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:15,479
Speaker 3: and I was very honest when I said that, that's

372
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 3: the way Peyra would explain it. I've been in competition

373
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 3: committee meetings and meetings with just head coaches, and you

374
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 3: know when you when you go to the owners meetings,

375
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:25,639
Speaker 3: and when he would stand up and explain things, he

376
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 3: did just what you did, and and everybody would go Okay.

377
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:31,200
Speaker 3: I mean, one of the greatest things I ever saw

378
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 3: was when was was after the tuck Rule game when

379
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:40,119
Speaker 3: you know, uh, the Raiders, I mean there's microphones. The

380
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 3: Raiders stood up and called him out, brought a football

381
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 3: and said explain this to us, right and he did,

382
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 3: and he did, and he did just like that. So

383
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 3: shout out to Mike Pereira and for you for sounding

384
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 3: like him on that.

385
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:52,400
Speaker 1: Well, thank you. I'll take that as a compl It.

386
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 3: Is a compliment.

387
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:58,440
Speaker 2: If the team wins and Andre Dillard appears to struggle,

388
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:02,159
Speaker 2: is Nicholas p. T Frere and option a left tackle

389
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 2: since Chris Hubbard seems to be doing an adequate job

390
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 2: on the right side.

391
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:07,920
Speaker 3: Well, Nicholas P. T Frere has got to get back

392
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 3: into the swing of things first. I mean that, you know,

393
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 3: you can't expect somebody to come off of a six

394
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:19,400
Speaker 3: week suspension without having done football things. I'm sure he's

395
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 3: working out on his own because he cannot be in

396
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:23,959
Speaker 3: the building, but you know, to come back in, I mean,

397
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 3: he's gonna have to work himself back in first. And

398
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 3: so that to me is something that is pretty far

399
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:36,479
Speaker 3: in the future right now. And we've seen this a

400
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:39,160
Speaker 3: little bit though, just with what Dylan Raven's has done,

401
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 3: you know, and so if you're on the team you're

402
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 3: an offensive lineman. The biggest value is if you can

403
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:50,679
Speaker 3: play multiple positions and so. But as I said, the

404
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 3: first thing the NPF has got to do is get

405
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 3: back in the swing of playing NFL football.

406
00:20:55,440 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 1: What is your favorite defensive and offensive pack kids to run?

407
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 3: Well, this is it's all predicated on down in distance,

408
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,680
Speaker 3: down in distance because of the matchups. Matchups on down

409
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 3: and distance are you know, are everything. But as a

410
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:16,879
Speaker 3: defensive coach, early on, when it first came into existence,

411
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 3: the hardest personnel group to defend on first and second

412
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 3: down it was thirteen personnel, which is because you would

413
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 3: you would have you would have one running back, three

414
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 3: tight ends, and one wide receiver. But those those tight

415
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:37,440
Speaker 3: ends could split out and make it look like eleven personnel.

416
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 3: With three wides one back, you can make it look

417
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 3: like twelve you know, two tights, two wides and your

418
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 3: matchups is what you're working on. So, now is the

419
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 3: defensive coach, you're thinking, do I play base defense against

420
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:52,159
Speaker 3: this with four down and three linebackers? Do I play nickel?

421
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 3: Do I do I put an extra defensive back in there?

422
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:58,199
Speaker 3: Do I go to an extra backer package to be

423
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:01,360
Speaker 3: able to take to take care of the size they

424
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:03,680
Speaker 3: have in there now or if they split them out,

425
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 3: or my backers able to work in space. So thirteen

426
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:11,200
Speaker 3: personnel was always a big problem when it when it first,

427
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 3: when it first, you know, came into the league, you know,

428
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 3: for that defensively. Defensively, I always liked to be able

429
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,359
Speaker 3: to play the big nickel because with the big nickel,

430
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 3: you know, you had a chance with the four man

431
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 3: front to use that the big nickel guy in a

432
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:28,920
Speaker 3: lot of different ways. You could, you know, you could

433
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 3: rob the middle with him. You could play him as

434
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 3: a linebacker. You could match him on a tight end,

435
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 3: say a specific tight end that was a really good receiver,

436
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 3: but he could hold up in the run game. I

437
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 3: always liked the big nickel because that one piece, you know,

438
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:46,960
Speaker 3: it's like it's like what Nick Saban does and all

439
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 3: the all the defenses in the South Southeastern Conference play

440
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 3: this star you know thing, because it gives you the

441
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 3: multiplicity without having to change personnel groups all the time

442
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 3: on defense.

443
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 2: This is my final question. I have what pub will

444
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 2: coach mac be hanging out in London so I could

445
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:10,679
Speaker 2: buy him a pint and he can educate me on

446
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 2: how Jack Gibbons has gone from a player who was

447
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 2: waived last year to a starter this year and is

448
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 2: really making an impact. He appears to have a nose

449
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 2: for the football.

450
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 1: Go frogs.

451
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:24,640
Speaker 3: I love the question and I love the ending of that.

452
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 3: I'll be in that pub where we had the radio

453
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:30,200
Speaker 3: show when we were over there the last time. Bed

454
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:32,040
Speaker 3: Bath and Beyond was that the name of it?

455
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:34,679
Speaker 2: I don't think the barrel Boy and Banker and there

456
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 2: it is?

457
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 1: Is that where you're going. Well, so a lot of

458
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 1: the things the Titans are going to do in London

459
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 1: are going to be announced next week, So where we

460
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 1: might be or where everybody's gathering or whatever may happen.

461
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 1: I think some of those things will be announced next

462
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 1: week and they might ask you to go to one

463
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 1: of those spots.

464
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:54,200
Speaker 3: I go to all of them.

465
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:56,680
Speaker 1: Okay, I will go to you. You're not gonna go

466
00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:58,440

Speaker 1: We're going to take it home here.

494
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,680
Speaker 2: Where would you rank the Titans defense throughout the entire

495
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 2: NFL when they are fully healthy?

496
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, rankings, rankings are kind of like fantasy football. I mean,

497
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 3: it's all up for it's all up for grabs, it's

498
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:27,119
Speaker 3: all about it's all about production. I would say, just

499
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 3: off of production. Off of production. They're really stout against

500
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:37,400
Speaker 3: the run, and I think by their own admission, they'd

501
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:39,240
Speaker 3: like to tighten it up in the back end some.

502
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:43,120
Speaker 2: You know Jim Schwartz very well. What does he bring

503
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 2: to the Cleveland defense that makes them one of the

504
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 2: league's best. Also, the Browns have played a lot of

505
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:50,879
Speaker 2: man coverage in their first two games. What are some

506
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 2: of the concepts that Tim Kelly can run to set

507
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:56,719
Speaker 2: the offense up for success.

508
00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:59,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, game planed with Swartze for five seasons. Here is

509
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 3: an assistant and head coach and linebacker coach, and so

510
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 3: he's very intricate in what he does. He studies matchups

511
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 3: a lot, he's he's but he leans on a base

512
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:12,159
Speaker 3: of a four down of a four down scheme, and

513
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:14,439
Speaker 3: he does that so that he can cover with seven.

514
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:18,199
Speaker 3: You talk about getting creative with your coverages. Anytime you

515
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 3: can cover with seven over five eligible receivers, you've you've

516
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:24,640
Speaker 3: either got three over two and four over three. I mean,

517
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 3: that's that's what defensive coaches work for. But to get that,

518
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 3: you have to be able to take care of the

519
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 3: run and the pass with four people up front and

520
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:36,359
Speaker 3: not having to bring anybody down. The times where he

521
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 3: will get really creative is if he catch if he

522
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:42,400
Speaker 3: gets you in third and seven plus, third and eight plus, well,

523
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:45,480
Speaker 3: we always had special blitzes on third down. You know

524
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:48,720
Speaker 3: that we that the opponent had not seen before to

525
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:53,919
Speaker 3: be able to attack coverages. But his his preparation is

526
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 3: very very detailed oriented and he he covers everything as

527
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 3: a coordinator. And this this is for the ot people

528
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:05,120
Speaker 3: will take you behind the scenes a little when when

529
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 3: you when you're working on an opponent, the scout team

530
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:12,640
Speaker 3: is running cards. But you have to draw cards so

531
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 3: that you can show them in the huddle as to

532
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 3: what what the offense wants to look like. But those

533
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:20,959
Speaker 3: cards have to be really preciser. Guys are looking at them,

534
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 3: you know, and you're trying to run practice on time.

535
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 3: And you know you got I mean, I've seen Jeff

536
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:27,960
Speaker 3: Fisher look at you look at cards before and throw

537
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 3: them out.

538
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 1: Who drew that?

539
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 3: Who drew that? You know, because the guys can't read it.

540
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:34,639
Speaker 3: Jim Schwartz as a coordinator. Normally the coordinators don't do this.

541
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:38,840
Speaker 3: He drew every card. He drew every card. And I

542
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:41,280
Speaker 3: used to pride myself on being a good card drawer

543
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:43,600
Speaker 3: because it takes You've got to be detailed, and it

544
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:46,639
Speaker 3: takes time. And he told me. He told me this

545
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:48,399
Speaker 3: when I when I first came here to work for him.

546
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 3: I said, hey, look because I came in here as

547
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 3: a head coach. And then I said, look, I understand,

548
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:55,119
Speaker 3: you know, tell me which cards you want me to

549
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 3: draw the run you know, the run game Run series

550
00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 3: coach Mac, I draw the cards. He says, you may

551
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 3: be able to draw cards, but minor rim brands, and

552
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:05,640
Speaker 3: I went.

553
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,440
Speaker 1: Really, he doesn't lack for confidence.

554
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 3: And I went, I went, really, I went, really, but

555
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 3: listen to this. The first time I saw him, I went,

556
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 3: I looked like a street painter.

557
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 1: To this. I think it was it so.

558
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 2: Anyway, very detailed, fascinating. So his cards should be in

559
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:25,960
Speaker 2: the loover in France rem Brand. Okay, finally, coach Mac,

560
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 2: what do you believe for the keys to going on

561
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 2: the road in Cleveland to come out with a win.

562
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 3: You've got to control their front first, you cannot let

563
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 3: their defensive front control the game. And then our defense

564
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 3: needs to outplay their defense. I mean, this is this

565
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 3: is what this is, this is what you're looking at. Offensively,

566
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 3: you've got to stay out of the third and chains.

567
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:47,720
Speaker 3: And when I say third and chains, I'm talking about

568
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:50,280
Speaker 3: third and seven plus you've got to stay You've got

569
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 3: to stay out of that. And then defensively, something I

570
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 3: think that they would want to do that I that

571
00:28:56,120 --> 00:29:00,880
Speaker 3: I see get some turnovers. Turn the ball over and

572
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 3: keep it when we've got it, keep it. But defensively,

573
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:08,000
Speaker 3: get some turnovers. This is going to be a big,

574
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 3: big game for defenses trying to see who's who in

575
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 3: the zoo out there, and so this is going to

576
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 3: be really important to control their front and then to

577
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 3: let our front go eat.

578
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 1: Cleveland has not allowed anyone in the red zone so

579
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 1: far this year. That's good defense, that's good. They have

580
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 1: not had a red zone defensive snap so far in

581
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 1: their first two games. Because I think the closest to

582
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 1: anybody's gotten is like they're twenty five. They have given

583
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 1: up less than four hundred total yards to Cincinnati and Pittsburgh,

584
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 1: so they are allowing less than two hundred yards per game.

585
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 1: That's good defense. That's good defense too. But interestingly enough,

586
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 1: they have only two takeaways and they have only four

587
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:57,320
Speaker 1: sacks so far, which is kind of strange. They've turned

588
00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 1: the ball over six times and they've given up nine

589
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 1: quarterback sacks, so their offense has not been very efficient

590
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:07,720
Speaker 1: or very clean as you would say, but their defense

591
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 1: is through the.

592
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 3: Roof well, because he's got people. I mean, it's it's

593
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 3: all about the players. But if you can, we went

594
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 3: back to what the difference in professional player Schwartzy gives

595
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:21,960
Speaker 3: his guys a chance to do what they do and

596
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 3: doesn't try to muddle it up a lot.

597
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 1: So would you be willing to do this again if

598
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 1: we ask for questions for coach Mack, would you be

599
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 1: willing to do it again?

600
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 3: I want I want the OT people to come to bed,

601
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:34,959
Speaker 3: Bath and Beyond in London, see and so that we

602
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 3: can got it, so that we can.

603
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 1: We probably got to stop joking about this because aren't

604
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 1: they out of business AOA. Okay, So that's one thing.

605
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 1: And the second thing is if they aren't out of

606
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 1: business in London, the OT people will show up there

607
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:51,920
Speaker 1: expecting to see you in the Crockpot Aisle and you

608
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:56,240
Speaker 1: and you won't be there buying a new bedspread. You know,

609
00:30:56,520 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 1: I waited by a kitchen for hours. Coach is literally

610
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 1: going to be an announcement.

611
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 2: What was the real name of it, rip barrow Boy

612
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 2: and Banker?

613
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:09,960
Speaker 1: Okay, I think Bedbeth and Beyond is better.

614
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:12,360
Speaker 2: Absolutely, I don't even know what all that is.

615
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:17,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's but again, next week, information is going to

616
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:20,719
Speaker 1: come out for those going to London about what's going

617
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:24,480
Speaker 1: to happen in terms of the the get together sort

618
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:26,960
Speaker 1: of thing. And I'm hoping we can be there and

619
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,200
Speaker 1: I'm hoping you'll choose to be there, but there will

620
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 1: be like an official thing.
