1
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:07,200
Speaker 1: The Browns are back on the practice field again on

2
00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:10,440
Speaker 1: Thursday as preparation for the Titans starts to ramp up.

3
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:13,239
Speaker 1: With practice ramping up, that means it's a loaded day

4
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:17,240
Speaker 1: at the podium. Before the team practice, the players spoke

5
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 1: in the locker room, and wide receiver Amari Cooper was

6
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 1: the first one to go. He talked about how confident

7
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:25,160
Speaker 1: he is this offense is going to find success and

8
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 1: how excited he is to see Kareem Hunt back in

9
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:27,920
Speaker 1: the building.

10
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I got to last year flight to the Portmulco,

11
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:33,560
Speaker 2: but wise it so for you to be out there everywhere,

12
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:36,159
Speaker 2: just like playing that.

13
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:40,200
Speaker 3: Love the feeling and runner routes, being able to catch

14
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 3: the ball help my team win.

15
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:44,520
Speaker 4: I'm married to see at end of this team still

16
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 4: stay with a run to some degree, even.

17
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:52,319
Speaker 2: Though Nickelby out go, I never looked at it that way.

18
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 3: You know, we preach balance in the offense, so obviously

19
00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 3: we want to run a ball whell, but we also

20
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 3: want to pass the ball well. And uh, I think

21
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 3: that changes.

22
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 5: What do you think has to be done to get

23
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 5: the offense more can s more smoothly than has the

24
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 5: first two games.

25
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, at the end of the day.

26
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 3: It comes down to execution, execution of the plays. No

27
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:16,959
Speaker 3: matter what play we call, you just have to go

28
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 3: out there and and play our brand of football. We

29
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 3: believe that you know, when we when we are playing

30
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 3: up to our standard, that you know, it's not a

31
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 3: team that we can go.

32
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 2: Up against who can really mention us.

33
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 5: Well, then why do you think that hasn't happened in

34
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 5: the first two games?

35
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 2: Like uh? Like I said, it comes down to the

36
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 2: execution of the plays.

37
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 3: You know, any play that is seen as ah a

38
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 3: negative play just simply means that we didn't execute it.

39
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 6: When you lose a guy like Nick, do you feel

40
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 6: like that adds more pressure responsibility than everyone else to

41
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 6: kind of pick up the select that you you're missing.

42
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 3: Of course, you know, like I said before, you know,

43
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 3: I be Nick is our best player, you know, so

44
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 3: you know, obviously things change.

45
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 2: You definitely have to pick up the slack.

46
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 6: Uh.

47
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 2: Nick carried a lot of the the load. He made

48
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 2: it really easy for a lot of us.

49
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 7: So yeah, what what gives you the competence? I mean,

50
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,920
Speaker 7: you see the showing practice every day and what really

51
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 7: good at practice and you guys have a nice summ

52
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 7: What gives you the confidence that you know, he's gonna

53
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 7: pick his game up and this is gonna look better.

54
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, well we all need to pick our

55
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 2: game up, you know.

56
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:25,360
Speaker 8: Uh.

57
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 3: From my standpoint at wide receiver, I just view it like,

58
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,640
Speaker 3: you know, the more open I can get, the easier

59
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 3: to be for the show.

60
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 9: You know.

61
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 2: I like to put the pressure on myself that way.

62
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 10: What's tend what's studenc you do defensively?

63
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 11: So what's tennessee defensively?

64
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 10: The the you know, I is gonna.

65
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 9: Create a prison a child.

66
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean they have a a ah, A good

67
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 2: defense they really have.

68
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,679
Speaker 3: They're really good up front the defensive line. I don't

69
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 3: really blit to a lot. They depend on their defensive

70
00:02:57,880 --> 00:02:59,360
Speaker 3: line to apply that pressure.

71
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 2: Uh. Just have to stay on time, uh in the

72
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 2: passing game and we'll be hard.

73
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,359
Speaker 7: You've been through long seasons before, you've you know, you've

74
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 7: been around a lot. I mean, just what can you

75
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 7: say to maybe like fans or anybody who's you know,

76
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,920
Speaker 7: sort of a little bit down about the way that

77
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 7: game went and you know, about what the future folks

78
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 7: for you guys as a football team, it seems like

79
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:23,359
Speaker 7: all your goals and dreats.

80
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 11: Are still working there.

81
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's all about perspective really at the

82
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:31,919
Speaker 3: end of the day with one and one. Uh, the

83
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 3: most funny is if we woulda lost the first game

84
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 3: and won this game, who'd still been one and one,

85
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 3: and the perspective would have been totally different. You know,

86
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 3: everybody would have been much more cheerful, I would say, So,

87
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 3: it's just all about perspective.

88
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 11: Yeah.

89
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 7: How do you feel about coming back to Cleveland Brown Stadium?

90
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 12: Uh?

91
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 7: You know, it felt so good for you guys to

92
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 7: you know, get the crowd all fired up and here

93
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 7: you are back on the lake front actually for your

94
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 7: next three games.

95
00:03:57,960 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 11: I think it is.

96
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 7: So what's that like to come back and be able

97
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 7: to try to do this game for your fans?

98
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 8: Uh?

99
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 3: It's it's always seems like it's much more pleasant to

100
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 3: play at home. It's just more comfortable, I would say, Uh,

101
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 3: the crowd is actually for you instead of against you.

102
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 3: So from that standpoint, it's just much more comfortable, easier,

103
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 3: It's easier to play that way.

104
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:23,599
Speaker 6: El Sin, how do you think the Shawns can just

105
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 6: maybe the rocky start?

106
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 13: Uh?

107
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, as I I mean, at the end of the day,

108
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, you just try to go out

109
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 3: there and and play your best uh brand of football.

110
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,280
Speaker 3: Like I said before, Uh, I'm just more so concerned

111
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 3: about making it easier for for the shawn uh and

112
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 3: so and every time we text and communicate that that's

113
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 3: what I tell him.

114
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 2: So as long as I do my.

115
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:53,119
Speaker 3: Job and we we do our job as receivers, running backs, whatever,

116
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 3: pass catchers, it'll be much more easier for you.

117
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 14: Are mentioned, hm R Are you around the injury report

118
00:04:59,040 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 14: cause I don't know where.

119
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 11: You're going about the shoulder injury?

120
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 2: Is that some of the things the nicks and bruises

121
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:10,039
Speaker 2: part of the game. I I don't go into a

122
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 2: game expecting to be healthy. So it is what it is.

123
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,160
Speaker 10: It's not abnormal to the few games to have your

124
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 10: name on the major or both mix.

125
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:19,039
Speaker 2: It's not abnormal.

126
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 11: Yea, no, yaky mar.

127
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 2: You mentioned perspective before.

128
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 4: You know, injuries are always a part of this and

129
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 4: a player of Nix Caliburn's stature goes down. Does that

130
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 4: Does that bring even more perspective to the the idea

131
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 4: that every play could be your lab any play could

132
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:33,600
Speaker 4: be your last.

133
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that's something that's that's well known.

134
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 3: I mean for what was it a dangerous game? I

135
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:44,280
Speaker 3: mean guys literally getting paid to hit you.

136
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 15: So yeah, uh the safety for Tessa, Kevin Boyer for

137
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,280
Speaker 15: the center field or ballhawk. Right.

138
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 11: Do they have any experience with him in gases before?

139
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, of course, you know, I've played against him before.

140
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,280
Speaker 3: Honor reminds me of a older version of Mica who

141
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 3: we played and we won uh uh last week, So

142
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 3: it's not nothing that we haven't seen before. I mean,

143
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 3: he's a ball hall. He's a really good player. Just

144
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,600
Speaker 3: kind of be able to identify him and go from there.

145
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 7: You've noted how you know, sort of transient was to

146
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 7: lose Nick. But what I remember of Kareem in the

147
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 7: last four years, watching him making Nick bringing out from

148
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 7: the side times, bring energy, you know, to to practices

149
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 7: and different things like that. What do you think he'll

150
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 7: bring in, you know, in just in terms of a

151
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:35,919
Speaker 7: morale boost for you guys in.

152
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 2: The astrumen of next loss. Yeah.

153
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 3: I mean, if if think about Koream, he's a very

154
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 3: uh energetic player. If one thing that I've noticed about him,

155
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 3: I was gonna play with him a year, but he's

156
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 3: always prepared to play on Sunday. He's always ready to play.

157
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 3: He's he's he's always making big plays.

158
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 2: Uh. He's very adorable. He's very dynamic.

159
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 3: You could use him in the passing game, the running game,

160
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:00,719
Speaker 3: and he's a really good pass blocker as well.

161
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 2: So he does he does a lot of things well.

162
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,479
Speaker 1: Quarterback Denzel Ward was next, and he talked about how

163
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 1: the team plans to slow down wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins

164
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: and the pride the defense has in playing so well.

165
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 2: No, neither the Bengals and.

166
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 10: O the Steelers.

167
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 2: Then an offensive play inside your thirty.

168
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 11: So how much pride you taken.

169
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 2: The way you got to start off this season. Yeah,

170
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 2: I think we're taking a lot of pride in it.

171
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 15: We want to be the best, we want to be

172
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 15: a top five defense, and we want to do anything

173
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 15: that we can to help this team win.

174
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 2: So I think we're on the right track and headed

175
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 2: in the right direction. But we still got a long

176
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 2: ways ago though.

177
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 11: Just because it was unusual.

178
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 10: Two games touchdown and somewhere. How did that happen?

179
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 5: Yeah?

180
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 11: Yeah, we we just left left them open in the middle.

181
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 15: We just gotta all work together, all get our drops,

182
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 15: all key in on where the ball's been thrown and

183
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 15: rally to it and find a way.

184
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 2: To get the ball down.

185
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 11: You never shied away from contact.

186
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 16: So what does it take to bring down.

187
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:06,119
Speaker 2: Derrick henriy Uh, yeah, he just got a gang tackle.

188
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 15: He he's a big guy's a physical uh runner, Uh,

189
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 15: great back for their team, and uh it's gonna take

190
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 15: all of us. So we all just gotta rally to

191
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 15: the ball and uh get him.

192
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 11: Down along with like Burghs and the other guys they have.

193
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 15: Yeah, we already know Howkins is a dominant receiver, top

194
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 15: guy in the league.

195
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 2: Uh, he's gonna bring another challenge on the outside opposite.

196
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 6: Of of Henry in the run game.

197
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,319
Speaker 2: So uh, we're gonna have a work ahead of him

198
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 2: over Hopkins.

199
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 15: Yeah, physicality, Uh, got great hands, a good route runner,

200
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 15: and yeah he's he's a competitive player, gonna go out

201
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 15: there compete, and uh.

202
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 2: I think we're gonna be good, go up, be good

203
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 2: for the matchup.

204
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 7: Hugh aw kenzo, I what did you think Nika's.

Speaker 7: I'm sorry, I Net, but you.

207
00:08:58,240 --> 00:08:59,679
Speaker 2: Think that was okay?

208
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 7: Is it unavoidable sometimes for those type of things to

209
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 7: happen to your thoughts?

210
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,439
Speaker 15: Yeah, honest, I didn't see the hit. I didn't see

211
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 15: the hit. I had looked up. I seen that Chubb

212
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 15: was down on the play, but uh, y'all didn't look

213
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 15: at the replay or look at the hit. I just

214
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,199
Speaker 15: seen that our guy was was hurting down and was

215
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:18,719
Speaker 15: just praying and wishing.

216
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:19,560
Speaker 2: The best for child.

217
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 11: Until you used each time.

218
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 15: Two street, Yeah, I think bounce back, well, go play

219
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 15: for Chub and try to rally together and final way

220
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 15: to get.

221
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 2: Away to the next piece put down. It's been.

222
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 11: Who's been the keys? Just everybody we're get sick, which

223
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 11: I don't know.

224
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 15: I think if I'm saying earlier, I think a lot

225
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 15: of it's end up with Robley, like just getting together

226
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 15: and even uh after we're done here at the coaches

227
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 15: and everything, getting the whole hits together and focusing on

228
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 15: third down, watching tape together and because again on the

229
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 15: same and being able to work together. I feel we

230
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 15: got that continuity out there on the field. We're ever

231
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 15: to play fast and know each other's doing.

232
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 9: You mentioned.

233
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:12,960
Speaker 11: It's had a conversation takes just week.

234
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:14,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so. I think it's kind of a

235
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:16,320
Speaker 2: conversation that doesn't even need.

236
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 15: To be had, like it's already understood Uh, that's one

237
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 15: of our brothers, and uh he went down, and just

238
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:22,559
Speaker 15: want to play for him because we know how bad

239
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 15: he wants to be out there on the field. And

240
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,719
Speaker 15: uh just sad about the fact that he got hurt,

241
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,079
Speaker 15: but just trying to win for him and win for

242
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 15: the city.

00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 5: Yeah.

00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 6: no question.

249
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 15: I mean, you guys know what type of player Chubb is,

250
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 15: the dominant player, able.

251
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 9: To score will out there sall.

252
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 15: It definitely hurt us, uh him being out, but uh,

253
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 15: guys like myself and the rest of the team, you

254
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,439
Speaker 15: gotta step up and make plays and uh try to

255
00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:58,559
Speaker 15: help fill that voy.

256
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 11: Chuck and winne s TV.

Speaker 4: I don't know.

258
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:06,679
Speaker 11: I've just seen him in past.

259
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 5: Games.

260
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 11: They got a good run game.

261
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 15: I think it's gonna go through Henry, but able to

262
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 15: make all the passes on the field, get us play

263
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 15: makers the ball.

264
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 2: So I said, it's gonna be a good challenge for us.

265
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 1: Another dB was next, and that was safety Grant Delpit.

266
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 1: He talked about the loss of Nick Chubb and what

267
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 1: challenges Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill brings for this defense.

268
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,439
Speaker 14: Is this team so good on the turd down defensively?

269
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 14: What has been kind of the secret to you guys success?

270
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:41,320
Speaker 4: Uh?

271
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 2: Pass rush? Pass rush?

272
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 13: You know, the teams have to chip our hands a lot,

273
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 13: and it gives us an opportunity to be tighter in

274
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 13: coverage in the back end.

275
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:56,200
Speaker 10: So they help us out a lot. In July, granted,

Speaker 13: a it's it's kind of a office similar to ours.

311
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 13: They rely on the run game a lot. You know,

312
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 13: they look, you know, top three back in the league.

313
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 13: Derrick Henry's a monster. They got two good receivers outside.

314
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 13: Uh that tight end that that that's good. Second year

315

316
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:32,839
Speaker 13: know they have a good defense. So it's gonna be

317
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 13: a challenge for us. We gotta stop the run and

318
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:36,720

00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 6: until the offense gets things gone?

350
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:14,480

Speaker 13: to do every week. We have a standard up hold. Man,

353
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 13: I don't play that side of the ball I have.

354
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 13: I have full confidence in them guys though. You know,

00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 13: gonna keep doing what we're doing. Yeah, and we can't

357
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 13: let up any slept we had.

358
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:32,160

00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 11: I guess it till a golf to to fool him

361
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 11: or or but disguises or whatever.

362
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 15: Uh.

363
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 11: Maybe, but.

364
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 2: We do what we do, you know, we not We're

365
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 2: not to worry about what they do.

366
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 13: You know, we gonna focus on what we do our

367
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 13: strengths and we'll we're good at the skies and we

368
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 13: what were good at doing.

369
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 2: So I don't think it should be a problem for us.

370
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 10: And that aspect is we gonna do.

371
00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 3: What we do.

372
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 11: You know, aren't you got a tough players? Was that

373
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 11: a touchdown? Yeah?

374
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 2: So couldn't what happened.

375
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 13: Yeah, you know, uh nah, we was just you know,

376
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 13: the coverage we were playing and it was a good

377
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 13: player against the coverage.

378
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 4: Uh.

379
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 13: We gotta be tight in our assignment and really more

380
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 13: sound really with that. But you know they were just

381
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 13: better than us on that play.

382
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 11: So we need to go two and tackles.

383
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 8: This year got off really how it started kind of

384
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 8: continue out from last year.

385
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 11: It's just a year for you don't put your league

389
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 13: And like I said, individually for me, of course that

390
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 13: means that.

391
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 2: Uh you know, you know we can't let up though

392
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 2: you know we in a good spow right now. On defense.

393
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 9: We lose.

394
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 2: We lost a game though, you know, so.

395
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 9: It don't matter how well we.

396
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 11: Think we playing.

397
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 10: We could always play better, you know what I mean?

398
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 13: We left in one players, just send me some of

399
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 13: y'all touchdowns not a keep be throwing for two or

400
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 13: something are Yeah, so, uh, you gotta.

401
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 2: Tie your stuff like that up.

402
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,359
Speaker 11: But I think we're on the right track.

403
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 9: Last week, hap Uh, what.

404
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 11: Are you tackling a guy like Derrick Henry.

405
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 14: Do you have to almost I mean, how difficult is

406
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:19,200
Speaker 14: that too, you know, because you know, obviously you captain.

407
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 9: I mean you have to almost hit him just just

408
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:23,400
Speaker 9: right to bring him down.

409
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean, I think going up against Nazi last

410
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 13: week helped us because you know, obviously they're physically alike

411
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 13: when they kind of run in a similar way, the

412
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 13: kind of high runners, like stiff arms, stuff like that.

413
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:41,120
Speaker 13: But you know, you you better bring your uh ris

414
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 13: some thump tack of there.

415
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:46,160
Speaker 1: Heavenson QB one Deshaun Watson spoke next. He talked about

416
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 1: the standard that he continues to hold himself to and

417
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:50,680
Speaker 1: how he expects jer Hown four to fill in for

418
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 1: the injured Nick Chubbs.

419
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 11: Kind of a teammate was playing five times because of

420
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 11: what he runs there.

421
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:07,680
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean, he's gonna have a tough discipline, physical

422
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 10: uh defense that's gonna try to, you know, make you

423
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:14,119
Speaker 10: earn everything. He's gonna, uh, you know, disguise and do

424
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:16,640
Speaker 10: things that is kind of out of the ordinary. It's

425
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 10: gonna make you think from the learn and uh, he's

426
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,200
Speaker 10: just gonna make he gonna he's gonna test you, you know,

427
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 10: throughout the whole game. So uh, you know the time,

428
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:25,680
Speaker 10: you know, I played with him, uh, you know, if

429
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:27,680
Speaker 10: he was a coach at the time, my first years

430
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:29,159
Speaker 10: in Houston, and he would also un you know, be

431
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:30,639
Speaker 10: able to learn and see what he did. And then

432
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:33,119
Speaker 10: playing against him while he was at Tennessee when I

433
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 10: was in Houston. It's actually you know, some good battles.

434
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 10: So it'd be fun to you know, go against his

435
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:38,360
Speaker 10: defensive game.

436
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 2: Just after the game, Man, we gotta play better. I

437
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:43,200
Speaker 2: know you wanted some passes back or whatever.

438
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,399
Speaker 4: What if you identify this maybe the biggest issue.

439
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 10: For you that you uh, for my shepherd, just being

440
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:51,639
Speaker 10: on the same page with everybody else. And I was

441
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:53,879
Speaker 10: just going with, uh, you know, protection wise, to the

442
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 10: coverage wise, to what you know we're thinking about with Kevin,

443
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:58,919
Speaker 10: if it's gonna be a four down, uh situation, if

444
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 10: it's a third down situation, if I need to take

445
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:02,439
Speaker 10: the shots, if I don't need to take the shots,

446
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 10: you know, and things like that. So we just being

447
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 10: able to just continue to grow and learn. And that's

448
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:10,920
Speaker 10: the biggest thing for me. And that's the part of

449
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 10: this game. It's the NFL.

450
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:13,399
Speaker 9: Every every week is different.

451
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 10: Every week is in their challenge and you have to

452
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:17,360
Speaker 10: continue to grow and continue to get better.

453
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:18,199
Speaker 11: That's you going on there?

454
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 2: Where have you gotten better at putting those games behind you?

455
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:22,439
Speaker 2: Or are you really? Are you trying to process them all?

456
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 2: Bring the week as you're getting ready for the next on.

457
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:26,680
Speaker 10: No, always once that the next day is up, after

458
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 10: the twenty four hours that rule. After the off day

459
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:31,879
Speaker 10: I think it was Tuesdays, and then it's on to

460
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 10: the next opponent. You know, we can't you can't dwell

461
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 10: to focus on that, especially early on in the season,

462
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:39,440
Speaker 10: and it's alone. It's a long year, fifteen more games ago,

463
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:43,159
Speaker 10: and you just take the you know, the bullets that

464
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 10: come with it, and you grow from it and you

465
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 10: just move forward.

466
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 2: Why you're getting on the same page such an instrum, Well,

467
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 2: what getting on the same change?

468
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 10: Well, you gotta think we had some injuries, so you know,

469
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 10: we had a rookie Talker that came in, so we

470
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 10: got to change up a little bit of the protection wise.

471
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:00,040
Speaker 10: Nick went out early on, so you know, some on

472
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 10: running backs they gotta come in protection wise, and then

473
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 10: some of the receivers, you know Coop, you know, he

474
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:07,360
Speaker 10: was a guy that came on came along during camp.

475
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:09,359
Speaker 10: He didn't get too much too many reps. Elijah is

476
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:11,639
Speaker 10: new to the system, uh with live bullets, so we

477
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:14,160
Speaker 10: didn't get too many live bullets. And in real games,

478
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,639
Speaker 10: you can't sit here and say, you know, practice is

479
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 10: gonna be exactly the games. It's it's two different speeds

480
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 10: and two different uh things. That's you know, adjustable practice

481
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:24,680
Speaker 10: is usually this is what we're working on. This is

482
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 10: what we're trying to get better. But in the game,

483
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 10: you gotta be able to adjust on the fly. So

484
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 10: you know, all those things match up together. But you

485
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 10: know we're coming along and you know, sooner or later

486
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 10: it's gonna put mechanically.

487
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:36,199
Speaker 2: How do you think you're playing mechanically?

488
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:40,640
Speaker 10: From what me and Kevin and av people talking about,

489
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 10: it's been pretty solid from what the grades that really

490
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:45,920
Speaker 10: matter is from what the coaches and what they want

491
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:47,680
Speaker 10: me to do in the system, and uh, that's what

492
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 10: I've been doing.

493
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:52,119
Speaker 2: So so your what what work and everything is is

494
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 2: what you wanted to do.

495
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 10: Uh, yeah, that's what I wanted to be. It's what

496
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 10: Kevin and a VP wanted me to do. And like

497
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 10: I said, it's it's not always perfect, but you know

498
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 10: from what they uh see it on the film game

499
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 10: tape and what they you know, their notes and their

500
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 10: grades from what happened the first two games, it's been,

501
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:08,640
Speaker 10: you know, pretty good.

502
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:11,920
Speaker 11: Are you usually able to block out even the way

503
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 11: you's outside.

504
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:14,680
Speaker 7: And all the stuff going on on social media and

505
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 7: all the criticism, uh that you're taking or do you

506
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:20,920
Speaker 7: get yourself sort of sometimes involved in that does and

507
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 7: if so, does.

508
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:23,880
Speaker 10: It impact you in any way? No, man, it doesn't

509
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 10: impact me.

510
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:24,640
Speaker 9: I don't.

511
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:27,119
Speaker 10: I don't get into any of the social media stuff.

512
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 10: So you know, my main job is here to play

513
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 10: football and the and to be the best teammate and

514
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 10: do what I can do to help the seam within

515
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 10: the shine and the more bold.

516
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:37,120
Speaker 9: Yeah.

517
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:38,879
Speaker 7: I was just gonna say, so, are you kind of

518
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 7: oblivious to you know, just some of the criticisms out

519
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:43,400
Speaker 7: there that's.

520
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:43,879
Speaker 2: Kind of swirling.

521
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 10: I mean, I see it.

522
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 9: I hear it.

523
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 10: I I mean it's it's impossible not to see it

524
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:49,680
Speaker 10: unless I just turn off my phone completely, you know,

525
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 10: turn off the TV completely. But you know, it comes

526
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 10: with the territory, It comes with the the status and

527
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 10: the standard that people hold me again, uh hold me too.

528
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:58,639
Speaker 10: So you know, I don't. I don't look at it

529
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:01,399
Speaker 10: as anything bad. I don't look get it is anything personal.

530
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:01,639
Speaker 5: You know.

531
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:03,640
Speaker 10: It's part of the game. It's part of my level,

532
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 10: and it's part of you know, I look at it

533
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:07,359
Speaker 10: as hey, people hold me to the center, so I

534
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:09,640
Speaker 10: have to, you know, make sure I play to that center.

535
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 10: And if I'm not, then I have to continue to

536
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:13,200
Speaker 10: find ways to get better. So it you know, I

537
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:15,199
Speaker 10: I don't take it personal. I don't get my feelings

538
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 10: about it. It's just, you know, continue to just keep

539
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:20,360
Speaker 10: going and keep learning and keep working each and every day.

540
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:21,119
Speaker 2: During uh the.

541
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:23,480
Speaker 11: Broadcasts of the game, it show you in three games

542
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 11: sitting on the bench next to a a person they

543
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 11: identified as a visualization coach. Can you explain what's going

544
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:31,200
Speaker 11: on there?

545
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:31,679
Speaker 8: Uh?

546
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 10: Yeah, man, Doc, I'm not allowed to city his names.

Speaker 10: visual ation uh visual coach, a player coach, you know,

550
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 10: a therapist for just the mind, the mental uh state

551
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:50,119
Speaker 10: of just not just the game but life in general,

552
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:52,199
Speaker 10: and just being able to try to focus are your

553
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:54,639
Speaker 10: focus as much as possible. So we've been working in

554
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:56,640
Speaker 10: and trying different things to make sure that I'm staying

555
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,119
Speaker 10: locked in on you know, blocking out you know the

556
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 10: good the bad, just staying focused on my tasks and

557
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 10: my job. And you know, it's been helping. And he's

558
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 10: been a great help for not just me, but everyone

559
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:08,399
Speaker 10: in this organization in his locker room. So it's uh,

560
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 10: he's been good to be able to have that. I've

561
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 10: never had that before, so, uh, I'm still learning and

562
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:13,879
Speaker 10: growing from him.

563
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 11: Is that your preregating ritual though?

564
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 9: For you?

565
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:16,959
Speaker 3: Uh?

566
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,159
Speaker 10: I mean we this is our second time sac of

567
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:21,520
Speaker 10: the third time actually doing it, so you know, we're

568
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 10: seeing how it goes and seeing how it flows, and uh,

569
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 10: we're taking our time. You know, there's things that we

570
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:29,119
Speaker 10: gotta adjust to, but it's definitely something that you know,

571
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 10: if if it's gonna help me, I definitely want contuny to.

572
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:34,159
Speaker 6: Do to show on your completion percentage in Houston is

573
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 6: so high and it hasn't been you know, on your

574
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 6: eighth starts.

575
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 2: Why do you think that is?

576
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:38,879
Speaker 15: Uh?

577
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:41,960
Speaker 10: Well, actually it was going back at it. You know

578
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 10: early on in the seasons. If you look at nineteen

579
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 10: and twenty and eighteen, it wasn't as high toward until yeah,

580
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 10: early on the first two or three games, it was

581
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:53,120
Speaker 10: definitely low. We still finding our rhythm, and then that's

582
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:56,200
Speaker 10: where we picked it up, especially in twenty uh eighteen,

583
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:59,399
Speaker 10: we started on fourth one tenth straight. Nineteen, I think

584
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:02,159
Speaker 10: we went one of one week one. I think it

585
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:04,960
Speaker 10: was New Orleans that was a decent game, won the

586
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 10: uh we lost out one when the Jacksonville wasn't a

587
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:09,080
Speaker 10: good game, and then that's when it kind of started rolling.

588
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:11,399
Speaker 10: And then twenty was very similar. I think we started

589
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:14,199
Speaker 10: zero and four also, and then we start picking up

590
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 10: things like that too. But yeah, I mean it's just

591
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:20,359
Speaker 10: getting comfortable with this system. It's a different, totally different system.

592
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 10: Just find a way to you know, get back on

593
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 10: track with things and not going our way, you know,

594
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 10: learning Kevin, Okay, this is what we're gonna do it.

595
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:28,399
Speaker 10: We're gonna run the ball, We're gonna be quick game.

596
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:30,399
Speaker 10: Are we gonna get it empty? Are we gonna do

597
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 10: a little bit you know, zone read keepers? Uh, what

598
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 10: are we gonna do to get back on track and

599
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 10: things like that, So, you know, just being able to

600
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 10: do that, you know, the other night, you know, the

601
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 10: first play was you know tipball and picked six and

602
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 10: then I think the next five plays with completions, you know,

603
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:47,439
Speaker 10: and then it just kind of trickled there and then

604
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:49,440
Speaker 10: it was like a little low in the middle of

605
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:51,400
Speaker 10: the game where we kind of went I think sixth

606
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:53,399
Speaker 10: straight or somebody like that. But incompletions that did a

607
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:55,880
Speaker 10: good job on defense of covering the spots, and then

608
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 10: we picked back up those completions. So yeah, it just

609
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:01,400
Speaker 10: it it's part of the game, and you just picked

610
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 10: up the pieces and you watch the tape and see

611
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 10: which ways, but you can keep getting those completions.

612
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:08,399
Speaker 14: But that's pretty much pretty much it shown. Y, you

613
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 14: only played like five series in the preseason. How much

614
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 14: when you talk about s you know, the early struggles,

615
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 14: completion and getting on the same page, how much you know?

616
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 14: Is it that you know, you guys don't have a

617
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:23,160
Speaker 14: lot of reps at game speed that you know you're

618
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,240
Speaker 14: you're getting adjusted to ah.

619
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 10: I I mean, I can sit here and say that

620
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:29,439
Speaker 10: it's a lot, but I'm not gonna sit up here

621
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 10: and tell you guys that's that's the reason why. You know,

622
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:33,679
Speaker 10: it's just you know, part of the game and how

623
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:35,439
Speaker 10: the game flows. So I'm not I'm not gonna use

624
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 10: preseason as an excuse to stay up here and say

625
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 10: the yeah, we gotta continue to find on rhythm and

626
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:42,680
Speaker 10: things like that. I'm I'm not gonna make no excuses

627
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 10: for myself or anybody.

628
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:44,960
Speaker 5: You know.

629
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 10: We gotta, you know, make sure we start fast and

630
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:49,879
Speaker 10: and play better and and and get those completions in

631
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:52,160
Speaker 10: those that time and the rhythm and uh, we gotta

632
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 10: be able to adjust. So a man, that's the biggest

633
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 10: thing is just keep keep going and keep grining, keep grinding,

634
00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 10: and keep working out for it.

635
00:25:58,960 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 15: I know obviously you.

636
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 2: Can't I whose Chubb, but what have you seen from

637
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:04,959
Speaker 2: Jerome and just your confidence in him that he can

638
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 2: actually is running? Uh.

639
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:09,120
Speaker 10: I mean, I think Jerome is very confident. I think

640
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 10: he's very smart. He's picked up the system and the

641
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 10: and the protection wise, especially on third down, very well.

642
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 10: And he knows exactly what you know, we want for

643
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:19,479
Speaker 10: that running back position. And then you know, bringing back

644
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:21,400
Speaker 10: Kareem is gonna be a helpful. He was there last

645
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 10: year with him. So, but Jerome has been a guy

646
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:26,639
Speaker 10: that he's been watching Nick from not from a distance,

647
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 10: right behind him. I mean, everything Nick do, he try

648
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 10: to simulate and and do it in his own way.

649
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 10: And I think that's been very very helpful for him.

650
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:34,920
Speaker 10: And you know, he's gonna be a big part for

651
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:35,479
Speaker 10: this offense.

652
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 7: What do you think that Kareem is gonna bring to

653
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 7: you guys, not only in.

654
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 2: Terms of just like another weapon for you out of

655
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 2: the backfield, but from.

656
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 7: A morale boost and just he's like energetic on the

657
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 7: sidelines and you were kind.

658
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 11: Of helping you keep guy yourself.

659
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 10: Yeah, I think you hit it right right on the spot.

660
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:54,720
Speaker 10: Is the energy, the the aura. He just loses out

661
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:57,639
Speaker 10: for this team and this organization. And I think he

662
00:26:57,880 --> 00:26:59,880
Speaker 10: he's decided to be back on on the field. He's

663
00:26:59,880 --> 00:27:02,160
Speaker 10: a to be back in this locker room. He's he's

664
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:04,639
Speaker 10: decided to be in front of his home crowd. So uh,

665
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 10: you know, I think he's you know, looking forward to that.

666
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:09,200
Speaker 10: You know, I think the biggest thing for him is

667
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 10: just to come in and you know, just be Kareem.

668
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 10: And that's how we ask him to do. Nothing special, nothing,

669
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 10: you know, trying to make up for space for Chubb

670
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 10: or anything like that, because that's a big boy to

671
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 10: try to make up. Just be you and let everything

672
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:22,399
Speaker 10: flow together.

673
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 14: You put you played this team a lot over your career.

674
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 14: That defensive line, how you know what makes it special?

675
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:32,440
Speaker 10: I mean, excuse me, uh, the just the movement. I

676
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:35,160
Speaker 10: mean it's starting upfront with with Simmons. I mean, he's

677
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:38,240
Speaker 10: a All Pro player, and then you got uh, you know,

678
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:40,400
Speaker 10: you got Key and got all those Archery and all

679
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 10: those other guys. It's Howard I'm saying the right excuse

680
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:47,640
Speaker 10: me from Landry uh fifty eight. I mean he's another guy.

681
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 10: I mean all those guys are just disruptive and very fast,

682
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 10: very active, understands what Raybo's asking him to do, and

683
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:58,160
Speaker 10: you gotta respect them. And you know it's definitely gonna

684
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 10: be a good challenge for us, and you know we're

685
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 10: excited to compete with them, and you know, you gotta

686
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 10: give them credit for what they've been doing.

687
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 15: Just a tough week with uh losing to the Steelers

688
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:09,920
Speaker 15: and then obviously losing your Chubb for the r As

689
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:12,639
Speaker 15: a captain of this team, how do you kind of

690
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 15: boost the pass up?

691
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 2: How do you recover from something like this?

692
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:16,560
Speaker 9: You know, get them around that.

693
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 10: I mean, you can't cover from a injury like that

694
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 10: with with with Nick, I mean that's that's tough. You know,

695
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:24,320
Speaker 10: all we can do is just you know, continue to

696
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 10: just try to move forward and this person gotta step up.

697
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:28,760
Speaker 10: But you know that's always gonna be in the back

698
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 10: of our our heads, in our minds, that the things

699
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 10: that you know, if troubles here and the things what

700
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:35,399
Speaker 10: he will say, and that the work ethic that he

701
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 10: would put in. So you know you can't replace that.

702
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 10: But at the same time, you know, this is the NFL.

703
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 10: You gotta continue to move forward and the next person

704
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 10: with the opportunity to gotta step up. And I think

705
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 10: we uh you know, we runna bounce back from that.

706
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 2: You said to those bounce backs from earlier in your career.

707
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:52,680
Speaker 6: Does that help you maintain your confidence and give you

708
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 6: optimism that for the you know, for us of the

709
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 6: season more.

710
00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 10: I m'a always have confidence. I mean that's just the

711
00:28:57,440 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 10: person I am. And you know, having the teammates in

712
00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 10: this locker room just telling me every day who I

713
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 10: you know, the player I am, and and just boosting

714
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 10: my confidence too as our boostairs and uh, we just

715
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 10: in it together. So you know that mean losing confidence

716
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 10: is not something that I'm gonna do. I'm gonna continue

717
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:15,640
Speaker 10: to work and continue to compete and you know, just

718
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 10: try to get better as as best as again, Minga.

719
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 15: Fitz Patrick is taking a lot of heat for that

720
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 15: hit on on Nick.

721
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 7: If you saw it, I mean, what can you say

722
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 7: about that hit?

723
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 3: Did you think it was okay?

724
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 10: I mean, it's I I I I I was live there.

725
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:37,080
Speaker 10: I didn't wanna watch it. Even when we watched the tape.

726
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 10: We didn't even watch the play, so I I can't

727
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:43,280
Speaker 10: speak on what happened exactly. I was on the opposite

728
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 10: side and I didn't even know Nick was hurt until

729
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 10: I drawed back over and I seen him on the ground.

730
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:52,080
Speaker 10: So I, I mean, I I'm not even sure about that, honestly.

731
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 11: Did everybody turned their ut in short?

732
00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 10: Oh? Yeah for sure? And like like I said, like

733
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:01,480
Speaker 10: as quarterbacks, when we watched it, we knew the play

734
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:03,680
Speaker 10: and we just skipped it. We didn't even want to

735
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 10: watch it.

736
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 1: To wrap up the day in the locker room, the

737
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 1: last player to go was the All Pro guard Joel Potonio.

738
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:11,800
Speaker 1: He talked to the media about how he is helping

739
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:14,960
Speaker 1: coach up young tackle Jed Wills and how talented this

740
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 1: Titans defensive line is.

741
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 14: You know, you'd never completely get over, you know, lots

742
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:23,280
Speaker 14: of the teammate like like Nick, but you know you've

743
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:26,400
Speaker 14: had a couple of days and everything in the process.

744
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 14: I mean, how's how how do you guys.

745
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 5: You know, try to go through that?

746
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:35,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think I mean every human being, you know,

747
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 6: football or not, like, goes through agreeving process. Seeing a guy,

748
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:40,960
Speaker 6: you know we did with Jack. Seeing a guy would

749
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 6: like nit go down like that. It was, you know,

750
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 6: a brutal injury. So it was one of those ones

751
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 6: that you know, you took Tuesday and really thought back

752
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:50,960
Speaker 6: and said about you know, thought about it, and it

753
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:52,959
Speaker 6: just kind of sat down and you come in Wednesday

754
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 6: and you realized, like, we have a job to do now,

755
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 6: and he'd want us to do our job. So it

756
00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:58,720
Speaker 6: was it was big of us to really try. And

757
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 6: you know, obviously we're doing this stuff for Nick. You know,

758
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:03,000
Speaker 6: we know he'd want to sto out there and work

759
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 6: and practice and do all those things. So it's really

760
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 6: easy to turn that page in that sense. But he's

761
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 6: always in the back of your mind because the type

762
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 6: of person he is.

763
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:14,000
Speaker 11: Did he talk to him, Joel's very I.

764
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 6: Did text him and I saw him today actually, and

765
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:17,680
Speaker 6: he was he was in the building, so I got

766
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 6: to see him just for a quick brief interaction, and

767
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:26,080
Speaker 6: you know, it's he's on crutches, you know, and stuff,

768
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 6: so it's it's tough. But I just told him, you know,

769
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:30,040
Speaker 6: we love him and we're thinking about him. If he

770
00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 6: needs anything, let me know. It's really all you could

771
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 6: do in those situations, because it's it's obviously a long

772
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:35,520
Speaker 6: process for him.

773
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 4: How close, sorry, how close can the running game work

774
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:40,880
Speaker 4: to what it should be even with that before?

775
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:44,360
Speaker 6: Yeah, you can't replace twenty four, But I have a

776
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 6: lot of faith in Ford and Pierre and and we

777
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:50,400
Speaker 6: brought Kreem back. You know, DeShawn does a lot of

778
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 6: a lot of running as well, so there are some

779
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:54,000
Speaker 6: aspects that we can we can add into it and

780
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 6: do things. And you know, he's a great player. But

781
00:31:57,640 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 6: I think you saw Ford, the explosiveness that he has.

782
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 6: You see Kareem. He seems like he's coming back in

783
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:05,000
Speaker 6: great shape and he's ready to run and work. So

784
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:06,640
Speaker 6: I think we have pieces that we can try and

785
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:09,240
Speaker 6: put together a puzzle that can look similar at what

786
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 6: we did with Nick. Does it feel like they're just

787
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 6: more pressure and responsibility everybody else now without Nick right.

788
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:19,080
Speaker 6: The coaches like the play calls probably have to be better.

789
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 6: You guys, He's not gonna save the offensive line if

790
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 6: you miss a lot, you know, things like that. Yeah,

791
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 6: I mean everybody needs to step up. You know, football,

792
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:28,600
Speaker 6: the worst part about it, you know, injuries and so

793
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 6: you have a guy go down like that. We're trying

794
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:33,800
Speaker 6: to pick up that slack. But you don't want to

795
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 6: do too much. Sometimes you catch yourself doing too much

796
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 6: and you don't do enough, you know what I mean,

797
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 6: you get a little out of control. So for us,

798
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 6: a lot of it's doing your job to your vest

799
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 6: ability and we have the right guys back there that

800
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:44,719
Speaker 6: can make the place for us.

801
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 4: Child Shaw, I'm saying that one of the problems so

802
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:48,800
Speaker 4: far has been just kind of not being on the

803
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:52,240
Speaker 4: same page with everybody, coaches, line, receivers, et cetera. Is

804
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:53,959
Speaker 4: that kind of normal at the beginning of the year,

805
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:57,200
Speaker 4: especially given that you guys had to replace your right tackle,

806
00:32:57,320 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 4: had some other changes guys out during training camp in Cea.

807
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's it's part of the process of of you know,

808
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 6: getting the right offense. You know out there, you lose

809
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:11,880
Speaker 6: you lose a guy like Jack, who's you know, very

810
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 6: good at communicating, really understands his job. You bring a

811
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:16,959
Speaker 6: rookie and who's who's you know, fighting his butt off

812
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 6: and doing everything you can and learn the playbook. But

813
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:21,560
Speaker 6: Jeff brings eight years of experience, you know the position.

814
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:23,640
Speaker 6: So that's that's one guy that you see nit go down.

815
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 6: And you know, I think last game there was just

816
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:27,880
Speaker 6: a little bit of who panicles that you know, you

817
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:30,240
Speaker 6: throw a pick early and and you know you you

818
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 6: press on the on the gate at one point. You know,

819
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 6: I'm looking at the buck, I'm like, we're winning this game,

820
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 6: and it feels like we're not, you know what I mean,

821
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 6: And and so there was just a little bit of panic.

822
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 2: And I think I think we learned from that.

823
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:41,680
Speaker 6: I think everybody comes in and it takes a deep

824
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:43,520
Speaker 6: breath and realize, like, hey, our defense is playing really

825
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:45,760
Speaker 6: well right now. Like gives us a chance on offense

826
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 6: to figure out what we need to figure out and

827
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 6: and do what we need to do.

828
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:53,040
Speaker 11: Simmons, I mean what I mean, you see one of

829
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:55,920
Speaker 11: the more disruptive linemen. You guys will fix this year?

830
00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:57,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, very good. I mean I feel like now every

831
00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:00,880
Speaker 6: every week I'm like these three from you know what

832
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 6: I mean, like there everybody used to be the d

833
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:04,320
Speaker 6: N and now the three texts are taken over. But uh,

834
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:06,320
Speaker 6: you know, their whole line is is really good. But

835
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:08,719
Speaker 6: he leaves the way. Autrey comes in in plays and

836
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:11,680
Speaker 6: and three technique. They move around, they have a lot

837
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:14,680
Speaker 6: of games. Uh, but he does a lot of good things.

838
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:16,720
Speaker 6: I mean he gets a run against the pass. He's physical.

839
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:19,400
Speaker 6: They they do a lot of good things and we

840
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 6: gotta have, you know, our a game to compete with

841
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:22,839
Speaker 6: their their front, I think is the strength of their

842
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:23,399
Speaker 6: team for sure.

843
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:26,840
Speaker 11: Cool defense stupid.

844
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:27,399
Speaker 8: Yeah.

845
00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:29,959
Speaker 6: Yeah, the first three weeks for US, I mean base

846
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:33,640
Speaker 6: defense has been semi similar. You know, a lot of

847
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:37,440
Speaker 6: them run the three down with two outside linebackers, you

848
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:39,480
Speaker 6: know three twenty five. They run a little bit more

849
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:43,360
Speaker 6: jam than the Steelers maybe, but but it's it's a

850
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:45,440
Speaker 6: lot of similarities. And then when they get into their

851
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:48,719
Speaker 6: their pass rush group. Uh, they run a lot of games,

852
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:52,000
Speaker 6: they have a lot of movements. But yeah, some similarities

853
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 6: for sure. Looks like and I was watching it goes

854
00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 6: back and forth from side to way. Yeah, is there

855
00:34:57,600 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 6: any rhyme or reason in that?

856
00:34:59,000 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 8: No?

857
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:01,640
Speaker 6: I think they wanted to play the three technique and bass,

858
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:03,200
Speaker 6: you know what I mean. So sometimes he guess the

859
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:06,080
Speaker 6: flip sides, but in sub I think they move around.

860
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 6: I think that's one of their positive things too, is

861
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:10,960
Speaker 6: you're so versatile. Like I said, Autry can play inside

862
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:12,839
Speaker 6: er out. He can play I mean even last game

863
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:14,680
Speaker 6: he was like standing up on the center a couple

864
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:17,080
Speaker 6: of times. He can stand up over the guard. He's

865
00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:19,480
Speaker 6: gone out to the edge in like four minute situations

866
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:21,480
Speaker 6: and played the big end. So they just have so

867
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:23,400
Speaker 6: much versatility. They can kind of move guys around and

868
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:25,440
Speaker 6: it helps him. So you can't really key on on

869
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:25,960
Speaker 6: one guy.

870
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:28,799
Speaker 16: We got to how faster was on that long run

871
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:31,640
Speaker 16: against Monday Night. Yeah, because that's something that you've seen

872
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:33,879
Speaker 16: in practice over the last couple of years. I knew

873
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:35,719
Speaker 16: he was fast, but I hadn't ever seen him like

874
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 16: break away like that in a game situation. So he was,

875
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:41,120
Speaker 16: he was moving, he was fine, and it was it

876
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:41,920
Speaker 16: was impressive to see.

877
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:45,440
Speaker 6: Like I knew speed was one of his like high attributes,

878
00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:47,359
Speaker 6: but but no, it was cool to see him break

879
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:48,719
Speaker 6: away and hopefully get a few more of those.

880
00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:53,320
Speaker 11: The similarity betweens like you just mentioned help in the process.

881
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:55,160
Speaker 15: Inspiration between weeks.

882
00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:57,719
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, when you go from a three down to

883
00:35:57,719 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 6: a four down. You know, we pretty much went against

884
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 6: the four day on all training camp. We were playing

885
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:06,840
Speaker 6: against our defense, but especially in our division like Pittsburgh, Raven, Cincinnati,

886
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:09,520
Speaker 6: they're all run kind of similar based defenses. So it

887
00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:12,440
Speaker 6: helps helps when you stay in the same kind of ballpark.

888
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:17,320
Speaker 2: Is there anything you can or do you say to

889
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:18,479
Speaker 2: Jed after playing?

890
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 6: Like Ed Strip said, yeah, it's tough, but but you

891
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:25,800
Speaker 6: talk to him and and you say, you know, obviously

892
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:27,800
Speaker 6: he like lost the count or something like that. It

893
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 6: wasn't like he he got beat clean in that sense.

894
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:31,839
Speaker 6: It was just a little bit laid off the ball

895
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:34,759
Speaker 6: against those two guys. You can't be you know, laid

896
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:35,239
Speaker 6: off the ball.

897
00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:38,400
Speaker 2: But I tell him to keep his head up. I'm like,

898
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:40,200
Speaker 2: we have a long season. We have you know.

899
00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:42,200
Speaker 6: Even in the game, it's like it's like we have

900
00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:43,680
Speaker 6: a chance to go down there and win and and

901
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:46,200
Speaker 6: and uh. The thing about him is he cares so much.

902
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:47,680
Speaker 6: You know, it hurt him, you know what I mean,

903
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 6: Like he cares, he wants to win, and so it

904
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:54,239
Speaker 6: definitely mattered to him. But I think for him it's like, hey,

905
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:56,600
Speaker 6: we got fifteen more of these games, like like, we're

906
00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:58,600
Speaker 6: not gonna let that happen again, and we're gonna go

907
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:01,440
Speaker 6: and improve from it. But it's like everybody else, like

908
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 6: we all just want to be a little bit better,

909
00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:05,480
Speaker 6: so we can you know, pull those ones out. Is

910
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:08,160
Speaker 6: it just a reminder of every play matters right there

911
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:10,239
Speaker 6: and it can't be you know, you get off the

912
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:12,719
Speaker 6: ball late one time in wanted to yeack in the game.

913
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:15,399
Speaker 6: Yeah no, I mean I think that's football. You look

914
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:17,600
Speaker 6: back on most games and most games are decided by,

915
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:20,040
Speaker 6: like I mean, in that sense, one play, but a

916
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:21,759
Speaker 6: lot of times it's like five to eight plays a

917
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:23,680
Speaker 6: game and you don't know what plays those are, so

918
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:24,520
Speaker 6: you always have to be.

919
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:26,960
Speaker 10: You know, locked in to help with it.

920
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:29,680
Speaker 11: I mean kind of off with that that it's a shorter,

921
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:31,399
Speaker 11: short issue week.

922
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:32,839
Speaker 9: I mean kind of like last year when.

923
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:34,960
Speaker 11: You got us you know, a similar situation coming off

924
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:35,520
Speaker 11: with a week two.

925
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:37,880
Speaker 6: Loss, and yeah, yeah, no, we're back at it. You know,

926
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:40,840
Speaker 6: we had one less data to think about it. So

927
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:43,239
Speaker 6: we're back in here work and it's already Thursday, and

928
00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:45,880
Speaker 6: you know, I think the guys have a good mindset

929
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:49,000
Speaker 6: this week, though we undersaid what happened, but we're gonna

930
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:50,759
Speaker 6: learn from that and we're moving on to Tennessee and

931
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:52,279
Speaker 6: we know we have a big challenge for them if

932
00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:54,239
Speaker 6: you think about it too much, like you're gonna let

933
00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:56,720
Speaker 6: it turn into you know, more than one loss.

934
00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:59,520
Speaker 1: Mixed up, it was the coordinators who had their turn

935
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:03,320
Speaker 1: to talk fucking First up was special teams coordinator Bubba

936
00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:06,560
Speaker 1: vent Trone. He talked about the success of kicker Dustin

937
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:09,560
Speaker 1: Hopkins and how the team's going to replace Jerome Ford

938
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:12,399
Speaker 1: at kick returner now that he's the starting running back.

939
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:17,000
Speaker 8: You know, how I felt his judgment was was really good.

940
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:19,520
Speaker 8: It is a little bit uncharacteristic of him in the game.

941
00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:22,799
Speaker 8: I would say on the last one, well the second

942
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:24,800
Speaker 8: to last one, he lost it in the in the lights,

943
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:26,560
Speaker 8: you know, kind of came down a little funky at

944
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:29,000
Speaker 8: the end, and he did a good job of you know,

945
00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:30,399
Speaker 8: avoiding it and avoiding a muff.

946
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:34,239
Speaker 9: So obviously it was super close. That's why I think

947
00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:37,919
Speaker 9: he retreated fast to you know, get back to the ball.

948
00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:41,480
Speaker 8: But yeah, I think that he'll just continue to work

949
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:43,640
Speaker 8: and rep and get as many catches as he can,

950
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:46,479
Speaker 8: So I'm confident in him that he'll make it right.

951
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:50,200
Speaker 16: Characteristic night for you guys all around, because obviously there

952
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:52,800
Speaker 16: was that play and Mike had the penalty and just

953
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:53,440
Speaker 16: some things like that.

954
00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:56,440
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think that, you know, Mike's penalty is unfortunate.

955
00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:58,000
Speaker 8: I mean, if you go back and watch the replay,

956
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 8: and I saw the replay standing on the sideline, they

957
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:05,040
Speaker 8: show him up close and he's engaged in the block

958
00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:11,080
Speaker 8: with the blocker as simultaneously as Austin Calvin. Austin's signaling

959
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:13,759
Speaker 8: for the fair catch. He doesn't see the fair catch,

960
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:16,480
Speaker 8: and you could see when Mike contacted him. He was

961
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:21,520
Speaker 8: a little unsure. That happens at times, and and honestly,

962
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:24,600
Speaker 8: he played. Mike played well in the game. Things are

963
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:27,080
Speaker 8: gonna happen in games like that, so it's something that

964
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:29,279
Speaker 8: you know, it was unfortunate for us. We got a

965
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:33,800
Speaker 8: fifteen yard penalty out of it. But you know the

966
00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:36,680
Speaker 8: thing for that is I would just say, just encourage

967
00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:38,920
Speaker 8: him to keep playing hard and aggressive and we can

968
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:43,360
Speaker 8: live with some of those, you know, mishaps at times. No,

969
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:45,600
Speaker 8: he was engaged with the blocker, didn't see the fair catch.

970
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:50,840
Speaker 9: No, well, I think fifty to.

971
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:53,160
Speaker 11: Be kicked by opts.

972
00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:57,719
Speaker 5: I mean, he's historically imagine great beyond the fifty, but

973
00:39:57,920 --> 00:39:58,720
Speaker 5: usually have total.

974
00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:02,000
Speaker 8: Confidence like of course, yeah, I mean he's shown it

975
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:02,960
Speaker 8: in practice reps.

976
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:05,359
Speaker 9: He obviously executed it well in the game. I mean

977
00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:06,759
Speaker 9: he hit that ball.

978
00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:10,640
Speaker 8: I said that was probably the best made a joke yesterday,

979
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:13,600
Speaker 8: that was the best field guy I've ever coached, Like,

980
00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:16,399
Speaker 8: I like, I actually kicked it right, No, but under

981
00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:18,920
Speaker 8: my watch, that's probably the best kick I've seen, like

982
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:24,280
Speaker 8: as a coach. So, I mean, did you or anything

983
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 8: I'm saying as far as at the kick itself overall,

984
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:28,759
Speaker 8: I mean he hit it from fifty five yards. It

985
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:30,439
Speaker 8: looked like it could have been good from sixty five,

986
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:33,280
Speaker 8: hit the back of the net, right down the metal,

987
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:36,520
Speaker 8: good rotation, elevation. I mean, everything was executed well on

988
00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:40,400
Speaker 8: the kick. So credit to him in our snapper and holder.

989
00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:43,719
Speaker 7: That he's been here, have you, you know, had any

990
00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:46,800
Speaker 7: words of wisdom for him about those long kind of

991
00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:49,520
Speaker 7: kicks or did you identify something or no?

992
00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:52,279
Speaker 8: I think you know, he really hits every ball the same,

993
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:55,200
Speaker 8: So I think that that's that's a that's an important thing.

994
00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:57,919
Speaker 8: I'm not trying to gear up on a long ball.

995
00:40:58,120 --> 00:41:00,640
Speaker 8: He's got you know, clearly enough lakes strength to do so,

996
00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:04,440
Speaker 8: so just trying to keep everything consistent and similar to

997
00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:06,840
Speaker 8: you know, if you're hitting a pat or a short.

998
00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:07,200
Speaker 9: Field goal.

999
00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:11,240
Speaker 11: Tennessee return game.

1000
00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:15,680
Speaker 8: Like Tennessee overall, their core group, they're they're a physical group.

1001
00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:20,560
Speaker 8: They've they've they've played rookie back there Jackson from Georgia,

1002
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:24,120
Speaker 8: receiver number five. He's uh, he's got a good skill set.

1003
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:27,600
Speaker 8: He's a smooth runner, good in and out of the cut.

1004
00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:31,160
Speaker 8: He's got good, good speed, he's quick. So you know,

1005
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:33,920
Speaker 8: I'm familiar with this team, played against some of the

1006
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:37,400
Speaker 8: last handful of years and in Indianapolis, so they're familiar

1007
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:38,960
Speaker 8: with my schemes and things like that too.

1008
00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:42,280
Speaker 6: I think when he saw the pgs like that field

1009
00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:42,759
Speaker 6: goal with the.

1010
00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:47,080
Speaker 8: Guy who running down a lot, great execution, great execution

1011
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:52,360
Speaker 8: to time that up. You know, Denver actually attempted something

1012
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:55,799
Speaker 8: similar to that VERSU suspect in nineteen and a lot

1013
00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:57,800
Speaker 8: of times I think teams do that as almost like

1014
00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:01,840
Speaker 8: a distraction, you know, but you know, credit to Schooler

1015
00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:04,440
Speaker 8: for timing it up. The film study obviously, you're you're

1016
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:08,120
Speaker 8: studying the operation. You know, it's whenever you go on

1017
00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:11,920
Speaker 8: like double cadence right, that you could throw some of

1018
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:14,840
Speaker 8: that off. So I think that that'll be the the

1019
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:17,000
Speaker 8: thing that will end up happening with you know, field

1020
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:19,719
Speaker 8: goal operations. You saw we were able to draw Pittsburgh

1021
00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:22,440
Speaker 8: off sides you know in that game, which ended up

1022
00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:24,120
Speaker 8: being a positive for us.

1023
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:25,040
Speaker 9: We end up going for two.

1024
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:27,120
Speaker 11: So how do you prevent that?

1025
00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:29,239
Speaker 4: What's that edge guy got to do there? I mean,

1026
00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:31,120
Speaker 4: he's got a couple of assignments, right, he's got to

1027
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:33,200
Speaker 4: keep an eye on him and as well the guy

1028
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:34,040
Speaker 4: off of his shoulder.

1029
00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:38,480
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think emphasis is on playing your technique, you know,

1030
00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:42,680
Speaker 8: not getting getting you know, I would say distracted into

1031
00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:45,800
Speaker 8: you know, trying to lunge out into your technique because

1032
00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:48,319
Speaker 8: as soon as that as soon as that weighing lunges out,

1033
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:52,640
Speaker 8: now what becomes available is the next gap inside. So

1034
00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:55,320
Speaker 8: just play your technique and you really, you know, emphasis

1035
00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:58,320
Speaker 8: on timing up your punch to the to the perimeter,

1036
00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:00,560
Speaker 8: you know, timing up your punch and look, locating your

1037
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:02,600
Speaker 8: punch Easier said than done.

1038
00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:08,080
Speaker 16: But you know, so the distraction part of it, the

1039
00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:10,600
Speaker 16: kicker missed the next one, you know, and they kind

1040
00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:12,000
Speaker 16: of tried to do the same thing even though they

1041
00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:14,400
Speaker 16: got a blocked Is that something that I don't know?

1042
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:16,640
Speaker 16: Can you practice that or is that with your kicker

1043
00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:17,600
Speaker 16: kind of get him used to that?

1044
00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:18,640
Speaker 9: If yeah, you can.

1045
00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:21,440
Speaker 8: I mean you're always going to try to have some

1046
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:25,560
Speaker 8: type of distraction, whether it's movement or you know, something

1047
00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:28,360
Speaker 8: that's not that you don't see often. You know, I

1048
00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:31,160
Speaker 8: think that that was That's something that you know, I'm

1049
00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:34,480
Speaker 8: sure us and other teams will start to implement into

1050
00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:36,080
Speaker 8: their into their practice routine.

1051
00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:39,959
Speaker 14: You said there was going to be an emotional game

1052
00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:44,080
Speaker 14: for yourself to hear from Pittsburgh and all in the rivalry, and.

1053
00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:47,120
Speaker 11: That game was so tight that how do you know

1054
00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:50,319
Speaker 11: one special team's play could change the game? I mean,

1055
00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:52,359
Speaker 11: what was that like for you in the second half

1056
00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:52,759
Speaker 11: and fourth?

1057
00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:55,719
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean the crowd was really the crowd was

1058
00:43:55,760 --> 00:44:00,480
Speaker 8: into it. It was loud, you know, the communication was

1059
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:02,399
Speaker 8: difficult at times because it was loud there.

1060
00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:04,400
Speaker 9: You know.

1061
00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:07,720
Speaker 8: Unfortunately, we didn't make as many plays as I had hoped.

1062
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:12,840
Speaker 8: We're hoping to, you know, make more moving forward. Just

1063
00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:15,520
Speaker 8: got to execute better, you know, got to execute comes

1064
00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:17,960
Speaker 8: down to execution. We didn't execute on a few plays

1065
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:20,719
Speaker 8: we would like to definitely have a few of those back,

1066
00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:25,279
Speaker 8: but the guys understand that it's a week to week,

1067
00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:29,440
Speaker 8: you know, game to game season that you know, this

1068
00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:31,759
Speaker 8: is the next most important game because it's the next

1069
00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:35,520
Speaker 8: game against Tennessee. So try to apply the corrections to

1070
00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:39,000
Speaker 8: the to the practice and then carrying over into the game.

1071
00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:43,759
Speaker 7: The mindset is coming off of, you know, crushing loss

1072
00:44:43,840 --> 00:44:46,200
Speaker 7: like that and also losing nig job, you know what.

1073
00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:48,480
Speaker 9: As coaches and you know what do you guys have

1074
00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:49,680
Speaker 9: to do this week to kind.

1075
00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:53,200
Speaker 7: Of get these guys back feeling great.

1076
00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:54,239
Speaker 11: About heading into this game.

1077
00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:56,799
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think Kevin had a great message for both

1078
00:44:56,840 --> 00:45:00,319
Speaker 8: the staff and the players yesterday as far as our

1079
00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:05,839
Speaker 8: mentality right now, right, you lose you know, a really

1080
00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:08,640
Speaker 8: really good football player, like an important football player to

1081
00:45:08,719 --> 00:45:11,640
Speaker 8: our team. But it's like, what would Nick want us

1082
00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:12,239
Speaker 8: to do right now?

1083
00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:12,600
Speaker 9: Right?

1084
00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:17,239
Speaker 8: Nick would want everyone to say, get to work, go

1085
00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:20,279
Speaker 8: back to work, and figure out a way to beat Tennessee. So,

1086
00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:23,680
Speaker 8: I mean, feel bad for him. He's a great player,

1087
00:45:23,719 --> 00:45:28,920
Speaker 8: a great person, great teammate. Obviously, hopefully he's he has

1088
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:32,959
Speaker 8: a fast recovery. We're excited that you know we're able

1089
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:36,360
Speaker 8: to sign you know, Kareem back and then Jerome is

1090
00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:38,640
Speaker 8: going to have a bigger role obviously moving forward. So

1091
00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:42,680
Speaker 8: you know our team is going to stick together and

1092
00:45:42,719 --> 00:45:46,000
Speaker 8: we're going to fight and try to play his best

1093
00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:49,279
Speaker 8: complimentary football as we can in all three phases of

1094
00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:49,640
Speaker 8: the game.

1095
00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:54,480
Speaker 14: You use special teams that are looking forward to doing it.

1096
00:45:54,920 --> 00:45:57,279
Speaker 8: He's done some kick returner stuff in the past as

1097
00:45:57,360 --> 00:45:59,000
Speaker 8: far as at least in a practice setting, I know,

1098
00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:03,640
Speaker 8: so haven't really got into anything besides that type of

1099
00:46:03,719 --> 00:46:04,440
Speaker 8: role for him.

1100
00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:08,640
Speaker 10: Goodbye, get.

1101
00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:10,320
Speaker 14: No.

1102
00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:12,960
Speaker 8: But whenever he took down the whenever he took whenever

1103
00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:15,480
Speaker 8: he went down the sideline on that run.

1104
00:46:16,560 --> 00:46:17,680
Speaker 9: I turned to someone who said, I.

1105
00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:20,400
Speaker 8: Saw that on that highlight film, Like I know that,

1106
00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:22,880
Speaker 8: Like I don't know if anyone else knew that he

1107
00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:25,719
Speaker 8: could roll like that, But that was fun to watch,

1108
00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:28,359
Speaker 8: and you know, credit to him and his hard work

1109
00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:31,560
Speaker 8: for taking advantage of an opportunity and hopefully he can

1110
00:46:31,640 --> 00:46:32,959
Speaker 8: produce even more for our team.

1111
00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:36,080
Speaker 1: Offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt talk next, and he talked

1112
00:46:36,080 --> 00:46:39,000
Speaker 1: about how Kareem Hunt can help this offense and how

1113
00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:42,359
Speaker 1: he thought rookie tackled Dewan Jones played against t J Watt.

1114
00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:44,480
Speaker 9: I don't think significantly is the is the case.

1115
00:46:45,520 --> 00:46:48,160
Speaker 12: You know, obviously it's a huge loss, you know for

1116
00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:50,920
Speaker 12: us as a team, not just the player, but the

1117
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:52,680
Speaker 12: person in the in the leader, in the locker room.

1118
00:46:52,719 --> 00:46:55,600
Speaker 9: It's it's rough, but that's life in the NFL.

1119
00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:55,960
Speaker 11: You know.

1120
00:46:56,080 --> 00:46:59,120
Speaker 12: Obviously, there's a there's a huge shoes to fill and

1121
00:46:59,239 --> 00:47:00,799
Speaker 12: we just got to find a bunch of different feet

1122
00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:01,200
Speaker 12: to fill in.

1123
00:47:03,320 --> 00:47:04,000
Speaker 2: Part of the reason the.

1124
00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:07,400
Speaker 16: Offensive struggling, fascigating the particulars because people are not on

1125
00:47:07,480 --> 00:47:08,120
Speaker 16: the same page.

1126
00:47:08,600 --> 00:47:10,680
Speaker 4: What do you make if that, considering you'll have the

1127
00:47:10,719 --> 00:47:11,680
Speaker 4: whole off season together.

1128
00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:13,560
Speaker 12: Yeah, I don't know if that's the case. You know,

1129
00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:15,920
Speaker 12: obviously that's how it feels about that. But I know,

1130
00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:18,240
Speaker 12: I think we're doing good things. We're just we're close,

1131
00:47:18,960 --> 00:47:21,000
Speaker 12: you know, a couple plays here or there. I think

1132
00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:25,920
Speaker 12: we'll be better, not one hundred percent SYNCD up right now,

1133
00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:28,680
Speaker 12: and it's second game of the year, So we continue

1134
00:47:28,719 --> 00:47:32,200
Speaker 12: to continue to grow grow together, you know. I think

1135
00:47:32,239 --> 00:47:34,840
Speaker 12: that's where we got to stay positive and keep moving forward.

1136
00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:36,640
Speaker 12: I mean, we're doing a lot of good things offensively,

1137
00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:39,400
Speaker 12: and we're not clicking one hundred percent yet, So I

1138
00:47:39,440 --> 00:47:41,920
Speaker 12: feel good about the direction we're heading, and I see

1139
00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:44,080
Speaker 12: it all coming together, you know, as we move forward,

1140
00:47:44,160 --> 00:47:47,239
Speaker 12: it's like any other season. You know, you very rarely

1141
00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:49,440
Speaker 12: teams start off and get hot and stay hot the

1142
00:47:49,440 --> 00:47:53,040
Speaker 12: whole year. So it's finding your way through and just

1143
00:47:53,120 --> 00:47:54,560
Speaker 12: continue to grow together.

1144
00:47:55,920 --> 00:47:57,520
Speaker 4: Try to fill those shoes. How do you think you

1145
00:47:57,560 --> 00:47:59,520
Speaker 4: did on Monday night? And what's your confidence level?

1146
00:47:59,560 --> 00:48:01,120
Speaker 12: And him going, We've got a lot of confidence and

1147
00:48:01,160 --> 00:48:03,239
Speaker 12: I'm obviously the huge play. He's got that ability to

1148
00:48:03,239 --> 00:48:05,640
Speaker 12: break away, uh and run away from guys. You know,

1149
00:48:05,719 --> 00:48:08,239
Speaker 12: he's got a really good vision, you know, exceptional feat.

1150
00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:11,400
Speaker 12: I think he can he'll he'll be part of those shoes.

1151
00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:13,080
Speaker 12: You know, he'll he'll least go on one of those shoes.

1152
00:48:14,040 --> 00:48:15,479
Speaker 12: But I was really proud of the way he played,

1153
00:48:15,520 --> 00:48:17,200
Speaker 12: made some big plays for us in the past game

1154
00:48:17,719 --> 00:48:20,160
Speaker 12: uh and the run game. And it's also really sharpen

1155
00:48:20,200 --> 00:48:21,919
Speaker 12: on top of protections on third downs.

1156
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:23,120
Speaker 9: So pleased with him.

1157
00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:28,080
Speaker 5: When to me anyway, it was like the Shawn Watson

1158
00:48:28,200 --> 00:48:32,600
Speaker 5: was uncomfortable in the pot trying to set up.

1159
00:48:32,640 --> 00:48:35,080
Speaker 11: Do you agree with that or is that go up? Well?

1160
00:48:35,160 --> 00:48:36,840
Speaker 12: I know we you know, we we had some some

1161
00:48:37,160 --> 00:48:39,200
Speaker 12: instances where he had some guys in his face early

1162
00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:41,120
Speaker 12: and that'll make you uncomfortable.

1163
00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:42,040
Speaker 9: Yeah, but I don't see that.

1164
00:48:43,600 --> 00:48:46,080
Speaker 11: He's always been known for his accuracy. If he's over

1165
00:48:46,239 --> 00:48:47,800
Speaker 11: seventy percent last.

1166
00:48:47,719 --> 00:48:50,960
Speaker 16: Year, you know, and that I was under a tribute.

1167
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:52,560
Speaker 16: Do you do you see something there?

1168
00:48:53,520 --> 00:48:55,400
Speaker 12: If I saw something, I would have fixed it. So

1169
00:48:55,440 --> 00:48:57,480
Speaker 12: I don't see anything. I just We're just getting into

1170
00:48:57,520 --> 00:48:59,160
Speaker 12: our groove right now. I'm not concerned about it.

1171
00:49:00,880 --> 00:49:01,719
Speaker 14: Went to the sideline?

1172
00:49:01,840 --> 00:49:03,480
Speaker 11: Was that just what the Steelers were given here? Was

1173
00:49:03,520 --> 00:49:04,319
Speaker 11: that by de side?

1174
00:49:04,520 --> 00:49:06,319
Speaker 9: A lot of plays to the side.

1175
00:49:06,640 --> 00:49:09,640
Speaker 12: Yeah, depending on down a distance structure, their their their defense,

1176
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:12,000
Speaker 12: especially in some of the longer down the distances, that's

1177
00:49:12,040 --> 00:49:13,800
Speaker 12: where you know, the ball needed to go.

1178
00:49:13,920 --> 00:49:15,200
Speaker 9: That was the area we tried to attack.

1179
00:49:16,680 --> 00:49:19,919
Speaker 11: One grated out, you know, in his first start good.

1180
00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:21,920
Speaker 9: I mean that's big. Big lights were on him, you know.

1181
00:49:22,239 --> 00:49:23,919
Speaker 9: Obviously the matchup was was big.

1182
00:49:24,560 --> 00:49:26,640
Speaker 12: We helped him in a lot of ways protectionally, but

1183
00:49:26,840 --> 00:49:28,480
Speaker 12: at times when he had to go one on one,

1184
00:49:28,520 --> 00:49:31,240
Speaker 12: I thought he did a really nice job. He's continue

1185
00:49:31,239 --> 00:49:32,879
Speaker 12: to get better each week, you know, and it needs

1186
00:49:32,880 --> 00:49:34,400
Speaker 12: to make some strides in the run game. But other

1187
00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:36,040
Speaker 12: than that, I thought he protected well when he had

1188
00:49:36,080 --> 00:49:37,239
Speaker 12: his one on one opportunities.

1189
00:49:38,880 --> 00:49:42,879
Speaker 11: Jerod, how does see his confidence grow specially from last

1190
00:49:42,960 --> 00:49:43,520
Speaker 11: year this year.

1191
00:49:43,880 --> 00:49:45,680
Speaker 9: Yeah, success, success breeds that.

1192
00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:46,920
Speaker 12: You know, he did a lot of great things as

1193
00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:49,360
Speaker 12: a kick returner last year and that carried over uh

1194
00:49:49,480 --> 00:49:51,319
Speaker 12: this season into the run game. So as he gets

1195
00:49:51,360 --> 00:49:54,000
Speaker 12: better and he's more comfortable in his role, I think

1196
00:49:54,040 --> 00:49:55,320
Speaker 12: he'll just continue to excel.

1197
00:49:56,280 --> 00:49:58,880
Speaker 13: That's gonna be okay and get better as a season

1198
00:49:58,920 --> 00:49:59,359
Speaker 13: goes along.

1199
00:49:59,440 --> 00:50:02,480
Speaker 7: And do you think some of the woes from when

1200
00:50:02,520 --> 00:50:03,680
Speaker 7: the Night had to do it the fact.

1201
00:50:03,520 --> 00:50:06,200
Speaker 14: That you had to give the one that you can help.

1202
00:50:07,160 --> 00:50:09,240
Speaker 12: You know, we knew that was a tough matchup regardless,

1203
00:50:09,360 --> 00:50:11,280
Speaker 12: and you know we talked about the edges being important

1204
00:50:11,320 --> 00:50:12,680
Speaker 12: that week. He was just you know, I thought he

1205
00:50:12,760 --> 00:50:14,840
Speaker 12: played played well for the most part. Got stuck on

1206
00:50:14,880 --> 00:50:17,600
Speaker 12: that last one in the sack fumble, you know, just

1207
00:50:17,680 --> 00:50:20,080
Speaker 12: a cadence in the atmosphere got him didn't get off

1208
00:50:20,120 --> 00:50:20,960
Speaker 12: on time on the snap.

1209
00:50:21,440 --> 00:50:24,759
Speaker 9: But you know it was a big challenge for Jed.

1210
00:50:25,080 --> 00:50:26,719
Speaker 12: I thought he played again ad when we for the

1211
00:50:26,760 --> 00:50:28,920
Speaker 12: most part just had the one glaring one there at

1212
00:50:28,920 --> 00:50:32,640
Speaker 12: the end. But you know, Jed's always shown up for us.

1213
00:50:32,680 --> 00:50:34,520
Speaker 12: He's played left tackle for us every time he's healthy

1214
00:50:34,520 --> 00:50:37,000
Speaker 12: for the last four years, so he'll continue to get better.

1215
00:50:37,760 --> 00:50:40,840
Speaker 17: All off season, we heard about how we're going and

1216
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:43,680
Speaker 17: used Elijah Moore in different ways and.

1217
00:50:43,840 --> 00:50:47,320
Speaker 11: Get him involved in pretty much every aspect of this offense.

1218
00:50:47,400 --> 00:50:49,040
Speaker 2: We haven't seen it to this point.

1219
00:50:49,880 --> 00:50:51,839
Speaker 14: You guys playing on breaking him out a little bit

1220
00:50:51,960 --> 00:50:54,160
Speaker 14: to kind of jump start this offense at all.

1221
00:50:54,200 --> 00:50:56,160
Speaker 12: Or well, again, he's one of those shoes, one of

1222
00:50:56,200 --> 00:50:57,960
Speaker 12: those feet that fills the shoes for Nick.

1223
00:50:58,000 --> 00:51:00,000
Speaker 9: So we'll find more ways to get everybody involved.

1224
00:51:01,840 --> 00:51:04,239
Speaker 6: Talk to like, where do you think it's confidence level is?

1225
00:51:04,520 --> 00:51:07,040
Speaker 6: Have you seen it weigh at all? And then what

1226
00:51:07,160 --> 00:51:09,960
Speaker 6: are the positive you see from him.

1227
00:51:09,800 --> 00:51:10,399
Speaker 11: To the first gun?

1228
00:51:11,200 --> 00:51:12,799
Speaker 9: A lot of great things he does with his legs.

1229
00:51:12,840 --> 00:51:14,640
Speaker 12: He made plays in that game alone just to get

1230
00:51:14,960 --> 00:51:17,120
Speaker 12: to escape pressure and escape some of the stuff that

1231
00:51:17,400 --> 00:51:19,040
Speaker 12: you know nobody else is going to make. Very few

1232
00:51:19,040 --> 00:51:21,640
Speaker 12: people can make those plays. And I know, I know

1233
00:51:22,320 --> 00:51:25,120
Speaker 12: the sky's falling. I don't see it that way at all.

1234
00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:27,840
Speaker 12: I don't think he'll ever lose his confidence. He's a

1235
00:51:27,880 --> 00:51:30,239
Speaker 12: tremendous player. We have all the confidence in the world

1236
00:51:30,280 --> 00:51:32,440
Speaker 12: of him. Again, I think we're doing a lot of

1237
00:51:32,520 --> 00:51:36,120
Speaker 12: nice things offensively, We're just not all the way together

1238
00:51:36,239 --> 00:51:38,319
Speaker 12: yet and that's part of the you know, the growing

1239
00:51:38,360 --> 00:51:44,239
Speaker 12: pains at the beginning of the season, and maybe it's released.

1240
00:51:43,920 --> 00:51:46,840
Speaker 11: All on how much does the game.

1241
00:51:46,680 --> 00:51:50,960
Speaker 5: Set him having to take what he's done in practice

1242
00:51:51,000 --> 00:51:54,040
Speaker 5: and do it this season because you can't replicate pas

1243
00:51:54,400 --> 00:51:55,279
Speaker 5: in practice.

1244
00:51:54,960 --> 00:51:56,080
Speaker 16: Or does that playing to it wrong?

1245
00:51:56,120 --> 00:51:56,879
Speaker 9: No, not at all.

1246
00:51:57,440 --> 00:51:59,600
Speaker 12: No, everybody's doing the same gun in practice. It's not

1247
00:51:59,680 --> 00:52:02,040
Speaker 12: the game speed, so everybody has the same issues. But no,

1248
00:52:02,200 --> 00:52:03,240
Speaker 12: it's not not an issue.

1249
00:52:06,960 --> 00:52:07,440
Speaker 2: It's defense.

1250
00:52:07,480 --> 00:52:10,040
Speaker 9: Does it start with Simmons? It starts up front? For sure.

1251
00:52:10,400 --> 00:52:14,120
Speaker 9: You know the front seven is is talented, especially the

1252
00:52:14,400 --> 00:52:15,080
Speaker 9: defensive line.

1253
00:52:15,120 --> 00:52:19,920
Speaker 12: Those guys are big, strong, powerful guys, and they create problems.

1254
00:52:19,960 --> 00:52:22,400
Speaker 12: We addressed that already. It's going to be about all

1255
00:52:22,440 --> 00:52:25,240
Speaker 12: the trenches and that's where their defense starts.

1256
00:52:25,080 --> 00:52:25,520
Speaker 9: Is up front.

1257
00:52:26,560 --> 00:52:28,880
Speaker 15: Jim spent time there obviously, Like how much do you

1258
00:52:28,960 --> 00:52:31,800
Speaker 15: see similarities between certain things that maybe they try to

1259
00:52:31,840 --> 00:52:32,319
Speaker 15: do with what.

1260
00:52:32,520 --> 00:52:34,239
Speaker 12: You guys do a little bit, a little bit, not

1261
00:52:34,440 --> 00:52:36,800
Speaker 12: not a ton, but there is some carryover in some

1262
00:52:36,920 --> 00:52:37,400
Speaker 12: of the scheme.

1263
00:52:41,080 --> 00:52:41,200
Speaker 8: You know.

1264
00:52:41,560 --> 00:52:44,320
Speaker 6: Obviously Nick is such a loss like from a coaching stamp.

1265
00:52:45,960 --> 00:52:48,240
Speaker 2: Wait, what's missing?

1266
00:52:48,280 --> 00:52:50,200
Speaker 6: The comfort level that he is right, Like, I'm sure

1267
00:52:50,239 --> 00:52:52,160
Speaker 6: on third and one, you guys say, okay, just hand

1268
00:52:52,200 --> 00:52:53,879
Speaker 6: it to Nick, Like, is that something you guys will

1269
00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:55,680
Speaker 6: have to get past without him?

1270
00:52:56,000 --> 00:52:56,560
Speaker 9: Absolutely?

1271
00:52:56,840 --> 00:52:59,759
Speaker 12: Yeah, absolutely, I mean he's our bell cow, you know,

1272
00:52:59,840 --> 00:53:01,759
Speaker 12: and he was on his way to who knows what,

1273
00:53:02,080 --> 00:53:05,000
Speaker 12: you know, the way he came out and started. Yeah,

1274
00:53:05,120 --> 00:53:07,520
Speaker 12: we definitely have to got to find different people to

1275
00:53:07,840 --> 00:53:10,360
Speaker 12: fill that role, and scheme might change based on situation

1276
00:53:10,920 --> 00:53:14,160
Speaker 12: like that. But that's the NFL, you know, just an

1277
00:53:14,200 --> 00:53:16,640
Speaker 12: adapt you know, he won't be the only guy we'll

1278
00:53:16,680 --> 00:53:18,759
Speaker 12: lose on the offense this year, So it'll happen again

1279
00:53:18,800 --> 00:53:21,319
Speaker 12: at some point. Knock on what it doesn't but that's

1280
00:53:21,360 --> 00:53:22,480
Speaker 12: the way it was in the NFL.

1281
00:53:22,680 --> 00:53:28,120
Speaker 5: So, you know, to get Kareem, who obviously well and

1282
00:53:28,600 --> 00:53:33,439
Speaker 5: knows your system, that's got to be absolutely yeah.

1283
00:53:33,520 --> 00:53:36,520
Speaker 9: Getting Kareem back is you know, is you know good

1284
00:53:36,560 --> 00:53:36,880
Speaker 9: for us.

1285
00:53:37,080 --> 00:53:39,600
Speaker 12: Guy played hard for us here for three years obviously

1286
00:53:39,719 --> 00:53:42,520
Speaker 12: and did a lot of good things, so his familiarity

1287
00:53:42,600 --> 00:53:45,440
Speaker 12: with the system accelerates his ability to help us immediately.

1288
00:53:45,560 --> 00:53:48,760
Speaker 1: Defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz was the last one to talk today,

1289
00:53:48,800 --> 00:53:51,120
Speaker 1: and he talked about how nice it was to see

1290
00:53:51,160 --> 00:53:53,399
Speaker 1: the defense bounce back after the big play they gave

1291
00:53:53,520 --> 00:53:56,480
Speaker 1: up against the Steelers, and how tough running back Derrick

1292
00:53:56,600 --> 00:53:57,800
Speaker 1: Henry is to tackle.

1293
00:53:58,080 --> 00:54:01,600
Speaker 17: Before I start, I just want to Pubblelee acknowledge and

1294
00:54:01,760 --> 00:54:08,799
Speaker 17: think the Titans organization, Mike Vrabel, Miss Amy, and Jay

1295
00:54:08,920 --> 00:54:12,040
Speaker 17: Robb for the last two years with the organizations. A

1296
00:54:12,080 --> 00:54:13,560
Speaker 17: lot of you guys know, I was in a tough

1297
00:54:13,600 --> 00:54:15,160
Speaker 17: spot a couple of years ago. I had to step

1298
00:54:15,200 --> 00:54:18,960
Speaker 17: away from the game. My thyroid had gone berserk and

1299
00:54:19,200 --> 00:54:22,120
Speaker 17: I needed a bunch of different operations and procedures, and

1300
00:54:24,520 --> 00:54:27,279
Speaker 17: you know, Mike Vrabel called me it seemed like every

1301
00:54:27,360 --> 00:54:30,319
Speaker 17: week for about four months, and he never once talked

1302
00:54:30,320 --> 00:54:32,600
Speaker 17: about football. He just always just asked me how I

1303
00:54:32,719 --> 00:54:37,480
Speaker 17: was doing and everything else. And you know, I started

1304
00:54:37,640 --> 00:54:39,920
Speaker 17: feeling a little bit better, got my vision back and

1305
00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:42,920
Speaker 17: a bunch of different things, and he invited me to start,

1306
00:54:43,120 --> 00:54:45,960
Speaker 17: you know, just like one day a week, and one

1307
00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:49,799
Speaker 17: day turned into two and turned into three and uh

1308
00:54:50,040 --> 00:54:55,120
Speaker 17: and rabes. Never once, you know, never once made it

1309
00:54:55,120 --> 00:54:58,040
Speaker 17: anything about other than do what do what you feel

1310
00:54:58,120 --> 00:55:00,640
Speaker 17: that you can do. And pretty soon about six months later,

1311
00:55:00,680 --> 00:55:02,839
Speaker 17: I was pretty much back to normal and pretty much

1312
00:55:02,880 --> 00:55:06,040
Speaker 17: working normal hours. But it was really an honor to

1313
00:55:06,480 --> 00:55:09,320
Speaker 17: be back in that organization. It was an honor to

1314
00:55:09,400 --> 00:55:10,800
Speaker 17: work with guys and the staff. I think I have

1315
00:55:10,920 --> 00:55:15,360
Speaker 17: some lifelong friends on that staff, and I'm greatly indebted

1316
00:55:15,480 --> 00:55:17,480
Speaker 17: to Rabes for for.

1317
00:55:17,600 --> 00:55:19,880
Speaker 9: What he did and for helping me out.

1318
00:55:19,920 --> 00:55:22,120
Speaker 17: I just hope that I gave as much as I

1319
00:55:22,239 --> 00:55:23,600
Speaker 17: received in those two years.

1320
00:55:23,880 --> 00:55:25,160
Speaker 9: So it'll be good to look.

1321
00:55:25,600 --> 00:55:28,800
Speaker 17: It'll be good to see those guys, you know, a

1322
00:55:28,960 --> 00:55:31,799
Speaker 17: son of Northeast Ohio coming back home to play a game.

1323
00:55:32,920 --> 00:55:34,560
Speaker 17: And I figured the best way I can honor them

1324
00:55:34,640 --> 00:55:36,680
Speaker 17: is to play really good defense on Sunday.

1325
00:55:39,760 --> 00:55:42,480
Speaker 16: That makes him such an effective coach and allows him

1326
00:55:42,480 --> 00:55:43,879
Speaker 16: to get the best out of guys like he does.

1327
00:55:44,239 --> 00:55:46,719
Speaker 17: Yeah, you know he's a former player, but that you

1328
00:55:46,800 --> 00:55:51,200
Speaker 17: know that that's not the whole story. He's He's very

1329
00:55:51,320 --> 00:55:54,520
Speaker 17: consistent in his message. He has a philosophy. He sticks

1330
00:55:54,600 --> 00:56:00,520
Speaker 17: through it, you know. He you know, doesn't wave when

1331
00:56:00,560 --> 00:56:04,160
Speaker 17: it comes to, you know, the the wins of the NFL.

1332
00:56:04,239 --> 00:56:06,560
Speaker 17: I guess you'd say, you know, the wind starts blowing

1333
00:56:06,640 --> 00:56:09,319
Speaker 17: one way, he doesn't change direction and go another way.

1334
00:56:09,440 --> 00:56:13,040
Speaker 17: And I think that's probably the biggest thing. He's an

1335
00:56:13,080 --> 00:56:16,400
Speaker 17: excellent leader. He's a fantastic game manager.

1336
00:56:16,400 --> 00:56:16,840
Speaker 9: I learned.

1337
00:56:16,920 --> 00:56:19,960
Speaker 17: I learned really a lot from Rabes when it came

1338
00:56:20,080 --> 00:56:23,520
Speaker 17: to dealing with the team. And you know, in game management,

1339
00:56:23,560 --> 00:56:25,319
Speaker 17: no matter how many years you've been in the league,

1340
00:56:25,360 --> 00:56:28,400
Speaker 17: as this thirty one for me, there's always something that

1341
00:56:28,560 --> 00:56:31,000
Speaker 17: you can pick up and learn from somebody else. And

1342
00:56:31,840 --> 00:56:34,480
Speaker 17: you know, every day it seemed to pick up something.

1343
00:56:34,560 --> 00:56:36,280
Speaker 17: It's like, you know what, he did that a different

1344
00:56:36,280 --> 00:56:38,800
Speaker 17: way than I've done it in the past, and you know,

1345
00:56:38,880 --> 00:56:41,880
Speaker 17: maybe that's a better way. So yeah, I think the

1346
00:56:42,160 --> 00:56:45,560
Speaker 17: biggest thing is, you know, he sticks to his guns.

1347
00:56:45,719 --> 00:56:49,000
Speaker 17: He's unwavering. You know, they lose a game, he doesn't

1348
00:56:49,719 --> 00:56:55,799
Speaker 17: doesn't change course. And that's valuable in the NFL. No, Now,

1349
00:56:55,840 --> 00:56:57,360
Speaker 17: I had respect for him as a player, and they

1350
00:56:57,400 --> 00:57:00,320
Speaker 17: knew him a little bit, you know, a little. But

1351
00:57:00,840 --> 00:57:02,520
Speaker 17: you know, my kids were in school in Nashville and

1352
00:57:02,600 --> 00:57:05,839
Speaker 17: I was back in Nashville, and you know, I'd see

1353
00:57:05,840 --> 00:57:07,960
Speaker 17: his wife Jen walking the dog, and you know, we

1354
00:57:08,080 --> 00:57:11,320
Speaker 17: lived in close to the same neighborhood and you know,

1355
00:57:11,440 --> 00:57:14,000
Speaker 17: so in the off season and stuff, we would you know,

1356
00:57:14,080 --> 00:57:14,600
Speaker 17: run into.

1357
00:57:14,480 --> 00:57:15,320
Speaker 9: Each other at times.

1358
00:57:16,760 --> 00:57:21,360
Speaker 17: Oh no, oh no, no, he had he had you know,

1359
00:57:21,960 --> 00:57:23,840
Speaker 17: you know, you had touch base once or twice a

1360
00:57:23,960 --> 00:57:26,880
Speaker 17: year before that. But you know, when when the news

1361
00:57:26,960 --> 00:57:29,120
Speaker 17: came out that I had to step away, you know

1362
00:57:29,280 --> 00:57:32,200
Speaker 17: it was it wasn't anything other than you know how

1363
00:57:32,240 --> 00:57:35,000
Speaker 17: you're doing, and then you know, hey, look come back,

1364
00:57:35,080 --> 00:57:38,000
Speaker 17: have a little fun, you know, and you can contribute.

1365
00:57:38,120 --> 00:57:40,440
Speaker 17: And you know, like I said, I think I was

1366
00:57:40,480 --> 00:57:43,000
Speaker 17: a I was a good mentor, helped the young coaches

1367
00:57:43,080 --> 00:57:46,600
Speaker 17: out and knew my role. And like I said before Tony,

1368
00:57:46,640 --> 00:57:49,720
Speaker 17: I just I hope I gave as much as I received.

1369
00:57:50,520 --> 00:57:52,280
Speaker 6: You think you're two.

1370
00:57:52,240 --> 00:57:55,800
Speaker 5: Years there, you get to know panne up pretty well,

1371
00:57:55,920 --> 00:57:59,760
Speaker 5: what made as well where he maybe take advantage of

1372
00:58:00,840 --> 00:58:02,480
Speaker 5: that well.

1373
00:58:03,160 --> 00:58:05,680
Speaker 17: And I think you know, when personnel helps a little bit.

1374
00:58:05,680 --> 00:58:08,960
Speaker 17: They've they've turned over a lot of personnel. But you know,

1375
00:58:09,040 --> 00:58:14,080
Speaker 17: whether it's Ryan or Derrick Henry, you know all those guys.

1376
00:58:15,240 --> 00:58:16,880
Speaker 17: You know, you you you have a good idea of

1377
00:58:16,960 --> 00:58:19,320
Speaker 17: what guys do well and and what they don't.

1378
00:58:20,960 --> 00:58:21,320
Speaker 9: I don't know.

1379
00:58:21,400 --> 00:58:23,880
Speaker 17: It's a whole lot different than just film study. Because

1380
00:58:23,960 --> 00:58:27,400
Speaker 17: Ryan's been in the league for so long, Jeff, and

1381
00:58:27,840 --> 00:58:29,840
Speaker 17: he has such a track record, not just with the

1382
00:58:29,920 --> 00:58:33,200
Speaker 17: Titans but Miami before that, so he has a lot

1383
00:58:33,280 --> 00:58:36,520
Speaker 17: of tape on him. You know, Derek has been around

1384
00:58:36,560 --> 00:58:39,400
Speaker 17: a lot, and you know it's going to be it's

1385
00:58:39,440 --> 00:58:42,640
Speaker 17: gonna be, you know, a tough challenge stopping those guys

1386
00:58:42,720 --> 00:58:43,240
Speaker 17: on Sunday.

1387
00:58:45,080 --> 00:58:47,120
Speaker 11: The offensive line is that where it starts for you

1388
00:58:47,360 --> 00:58:47,840
Speaker 11: for your game?

1389
00:58:48,400 --> 00:58:50,280
Speaker 17: Well, I think you know, when you're built the way

1390
00:58:50,400 --> 00:58:55,520
Speaker 17: we are, you know, upfront is is what drives our defense.

1391
00:58:55,880 --> 00:58:58,560
Speaker 17: We expect those guys to be the engine of our defense.

1392
00:58:58,760 --> 00:59:04,120
Speaker 17: And you know, and I think we're I think, you know,

1393
00:59:04,320 --> 00:59:07,760
Speaker 17: we we have just in general, we have guys that

1394
00:59:07,840 --> 00:59:11,120
Speaker 17: are tough matchups, not not necessarily against the Titans, but

1395
00:59:11,320 --> 00:59:13,960
Speaker 17: just in general, and we tend to you know, we

1396
00:59:14,040 --> 00:59:18,760
Speaker 17: try to emphasize that. And you know, so I think

1397
00:59:18,840 --> 00:59:20,520
Speaker 17: that you know, it starts from there. I think you've

1398
00:59:20,560 --> 00:59:22,960
Speaker 17: seen the way teams have played us the first two weeks.

1399
00:59:23,120 --> 00:59:26,320
Speaker 17: They they don't want to hold the ball very long,

1400
00:59:27,160 --> 00:59:29,560
Speaker 17: and you know, try to do a lot to combat

1401
00:59:29,680 --> 00:59:33,680
Speaker 17: what we do on defense. You know, so I'm sure

1402
00:59:33,760 --> 00:59:36,160
Speaker 17: they'll do the same thing. You know, they they know

1403
00:59:36,280 --> 00:59:39,560
Speaker 17: who they know who our players are, they know, you know,

1404
00:59:39,680 --> 00:59:41,800
Speaker 17: what they're capable of doing, so they'll have a plan.

1405
00:59:43,040 --> 00:59:43,200
Speaker 9: You know.

1406
00:59:43,280 --> 00:59:45,720
Speaker 17: But I think, just like you saw on Monday night,

1407
00:59:47,320 --> 00:59:49,440
Speaker 17: you know, sort of like you go back to Cincinnati

1408
00:59:49,600 --> 00:59:52,200
Speaker 17: and we had Miles on the center and he got

1409
00:59:52,280 --> 00:59:55,800
Speaker 17: a flush and we got the sack and came back

1410
00:59:55,920 --> 00:59:57,680
Speaker 17: last week and they had a different plan for it,

1411
00:59:57,800 --> 00:59:59,920
Speaker 17: and we had anticipated it, but they weren't going to

1412
01:00:00,080 --> 01:00:02,400
Speaker 17: leave Miles one on one in the center. So the

1413
01:00:02,480 --> 01:00:05,800
Speaker 17: doubled back, which left Sione free and SIONI was able

1414
01:00:05,840 --> 01:00:09,320
Speaker 17: to get the sack. And you know, we have a

1415
01:00:09,400 --> 01:00:12,800
Speaker 17: lot of complimentary parts that way that you know that

1416
01:00:12,920 --> 01:00:15,480
Speaker 17: we can use. And you know, too much, you devote

1417
01:00:15,480 --> 01:00:17,920
Speaker 17: too much attention to one guy. We have a lot

1418
01:00:17,960 --> 01:00:21,400
Speaker 17: of ways to you know, sort of make you pay

1419
01:00:21,480 --> 01:00:24,600
Speaker 17: in another way. So D Line's very important to us.

1420
01:00:24,680 --> 01:00:27,520
Speaker 17: But you know they're gonna they're gonna have you know,

1421
01:00:27,680 --> 01:00:28,920
Speaker 17: not just rushing the passer.

1422
01:00:29,040 --> 01:00:29,439
Speaker 9: This week.

1423
01:00:29,760 --> 01:00:32,960
Speaker 17: You know, number twenty two's coming to town, and you know,

1424
01:00:33,800 --> 01:00:39,360
Speaker 17: we need him on Highway ninety. We don't need him

1425
01:00:39,360 --> 01:00:42,000
Speaker 17: on Highway seventy one, if you know what I mean. Right, No,

1426
01:00:42,200 --> 01:00:44,600
Speaker 17: north south, we need him east west, you know we

1427
01:00:45,160 --> 01:00:45,520
Speaker 17: need him.

1428
01:00:45,800 --> 01:00:47,880
Speaker 9: You know, we need him. We need him going sideways.

1429
01:00:48,000 --> 01:00:49,600
Speaker 17: And the D line is going to have a lot

1430
01:00:49,680 --> 01:00:52,680
Speaker 17: to do with that, and getting penetration and keeping him

1431
01:00:52,720 --> 01:00:56,320
Speaker 17: from coming downhill on us. Because you know, Jeff, you

1432
01:00:56,440 --> 01:01:00,320
Speaker 17: talk about having firsthand knowledge. I've seen that firsthand. You know,

1433
01:01:00,400 --> 01:01:04,160
Speaker 17: I've played against playing against Derek before, but then also

1434
01:01:04,320 --> 01:01:06,360
Speaker 17: seen how people try to take him out of a

1435
01:01:06,400 --> 01:01:09,120
Speaker 17: game plan. And definition of a great player is you know,

1436
01:01:09,320 --> 01:01:11,400
Speaker 17: even when teams start their game plan with you, you

1437
01:01:11,480 --> 01:01:13,200
Speaker 17: still have a way to be effective, and I think

1438
01:01:13,280 --> 01:01:16,360
Speaker 17: Derek falls into that category. He's a guy that you know,

1439
01:01:16,480 --> 01:01:18,280
Speaker 17: you can stop nine times in a row. In the

1440
01:01:18,400 --> 01:01:20,560
Speaker 17: tenth time, he can go ninety yards for a touchdown.

1441
01:01:20,840 --> 01:01:23,080
Speaker 17: So we're gonna have to play excellent team defense. We're

1442
01:01:23,080 --> 01:01:24,760
Speaker 17: gonna to tackle well, We're gonna have to be physical,

1443
01:01:24,800 --> 01:01:27,120
Speaker 17: and we're had to get hats to the ball. Tackling

1444
01:01:27,160 --> 01:01:29,960
Speaker 17: Derek Henry isn't a one on one thing. It's an

1445
01:01:30,000 --> 01:01:32,800
Speaker 17: eleven one one thing. And you know, we have to

1446
01:01:32,840 --> 01:01:34,080
Speaker 17: have that mentality going in.

1447
01:01:35,040 --> 01:01:37,000
Speaker 6: Jim, how pleased have you been with your run defense

1448
01:01:37,080 --> 01:01:37,360
Speaker 6: through this.

1449
01:01:37,440 --> 01:01:38,080
Speaker 2: First two games?

1450
01:01:38,680 --> 01:01:41,439
Speaker 17: It's two games, I mean, you know, I mean it's

1451
01:01:42,720 --> 01:01:45,280
Speaker 17: we were off to We're off to a solid start,

1452
01:01:45,400 --> 01:01:47,600
Speaker 17: you know, I mean, obviously we had the mistackle that

1453
01:01:47,720 --> 01:01:49,440
Speaker 17: led to a twenty wide yard game.

1454
01:01:49,480 --> 01:01:50,120
Speaker 10: In that play.

1455
01:01:52,200 --> 01:01:53,919
Speaker 17: You know, I think you know Z makes that play

1456
01:01:53,960 --> 01:01:56,280
Speaker 17: probably nine out of ten times. But you know, Najie

1457
01:01:56,280 --> 01:01:58,040
Speaker 17: Harris is a good back and he broke it and

1458
01:01:58,440 --> 01:02:01,200
Speaker 17: you know made us pay. But you know the consistency

1459
01:02:01,280 --> 01:02:03,920
Speaker 17: of not allowing the people to move the chains with

1460
01:02:04,040 --> 01:02:07,000
Speaker 17: the run game is very important to us. And it

1461
01:02:07,120 --> 01:02:09,160
Speaker 17: also helps set up our rush. If we can make

1462
01:02:09,200 --> 01:02:12,440
Speaker 17: a game one dimensional, you know, then you know it

1463
01:02:12,480 --> 01:02:15,600
Speaker 17: can lead to more opportunities to pass rush and things

1464
01:02:15,720 --> 01:02:19,840
Speaker 17: like that. So you know, so like and and just

1465
01:02:20,280 --> 01:02:24,280
Speaker 17: just allowing offenses are preventing the offenses from controlling the

1466
01:02:24,800 --> 01:02:26,400
Speaker 17: flow of the game and the tempo of the game.

1467
01:02:26,480 --> 01:02:28,640
Speaker 17: All those things are important. And you know, if you

1468
01:02:28,720 --> 01:02:32,040
Speaker 17: want to be known as a physical defense, well you

1469
01:02:32,160 --> 01:02:34,440
Speaker 17: better do a good job stop in the run. And uh,

1470
01:02:34,560 --> 01:02:36,200
Speaker 17: you know we want to do all those things.

1471
01:02:37,960 --> 01:02:39,880
Speaker 9: Do Monday night, What was the.

1472
01:02:41,360 --> 01:02:42,840
Speaker 2: Message to the defense after that.

1473
01:02:42,880 --> 01:02:44,000
Speaker 9: Big play to Pickens.

1474
01:02:45,280 --> 01:02:47,200
Speaker 2: Seemed like it was a really turning point of the game.

1475
01:02:47,400 --> 01:02:50,040
Speaker 2: Like you defense seem to kind of rally up after that.

1476
01:02:50,160 --> 01:02:52,000
Speaker 17: What was the message going, Well, you know, we had

1477
01:02:52,080 --> 01:02:55,760
Speaker 17: we had started I think the first drive interception interception

1478
01:02:56,040 --> 01:02:59,360
Speaker 17: punt Fumbel recovery punt and then a three and out

1479
01:02:59,400 --> 01:03:02,120
Speaker 17: field goal, So we got off to a fast start

1480
01:03:02,200 --> 01:03:03,520
Speaker 17: and then we had a little bit of a law.

1481
01:03:03,600 --> 01:03:05,880
Speaker 17: We gave up that touchdown, we gave up a field goal,

1482
01:03:06,800 --> 01:03:09,480
Speaker 17: and I think the guys, the guys have a lot

1483
01:03:09,520 --> 01:03:13,240
Speaker 17: of pride. And the thing with that touchdown is it

1484
01:03:13,400 --> 01:03:15,880
Speaker 17: was it was just really it wasn't just one person.

1485
01:03:16,080 --> 01:03:19,080
Speaker 17: We didn't execute that defense very well at all. And

1486
01:03:19,160 --> 01:03:22,080
Speaker 17: that's a defense that we generally played really well over

1487
01:03:22,200 --> 01:03:25,680
Speaker 17: the course of training camp, preseason games, and the.

1488
01:03:25,680 --> 01:03:26,720
Speaker 9: Regular season so far.

1489
01:03:26,840 --> 01:03:29,720
Speaker 17: So it was disappointing that way, but you know, those

1490
01:03:29,720 --> 01:03:31,680
Speaker 17: players are going to happen in the NFL. Hopefully you

1491
01:03:31,760 --> 01:03:33,880
Speaker 17: can limit those as much as the only touchdown we've

1492
01:03:33,920 --> 01:03:36,320
Speaker 17: given up in two games. And our guys have a

1493
01:03:36,360 --> 01:03:39,200
Speaker 17: lot of pride, and you know, we finished a game

1494
01:03:39,320 --> 01:03:42,680
Speaker 17: with punt punt, punt punt. We're able to at least

1495
01:03:42,680 --> 01:03:44,720
Speaker 17: get the ball back for our offense. And you know,

1496
01:03:44,840 --> 01:03:47,160
Speaker 17: like I said, our job is try to set them

1497
01:03:47,240 --> 01:03:49,920
Speaker 17: up and get the ball, get the ball back for him.

1498
01:03:50,160 --> 01:03:53,080
Speaker 17: So our guys didn't panic. Our guys didn't let one.

1499
01:03:53,200 --> 01:03:55,560
Speaker 17: But you know, I think the thing we have to

1500
01:03:55,640 --> 01:03:58,040
Speaker 17: guard against in a game like that and then losing

1501
01:03:58,160 --> 01:03:59,760
Speaker 17: Nick and things like that. One of the things we

1502
01:03:59,840 --> 01:04:03,000
Speaker 17: talked about was just Garden against guys trying to play

1503
01:04:03,080 --> 01:04:06,080
Speaker 17: outside the scheme and do too much. You know, you

1504
01:04:06,200 --> 01:04:11,960
Speaker 17: can you can go get you know, get get too antsy,

1505
01:04:12,080 --> 01:04:15,280
Speaker 17: trying to get trying to make plays. And our message

1506
01:04:15,400 --> 01:04:17,560
Speaker 17: is make the plays to come to you, don't go

1507
01:04:17,680 --> 01:04:20,520
Speaker 17: outside to make them. And I think in that in

1508
01:04:20,680 --> 01:04:22,720
Speaker 17: that play, we had a lot of guys trying to

1509
01:04:22,800 --> 01:04:25,320
Speaker 17: make a play and instead of just making the play

1510
01:04:25,400 --> 01:04:28,800
Speaker 17: that came to them. So, you know, I'm proud of

1511
01:04:28,840 --> 01:04:31,360
Speaker 17: our guys' ability to bounce back. I'm not proud of

1512
01:04:31,440 --> 01:04:35,360
Speaker 17: that play, but you know, well we'll bounce back from.

1513
01:04:35,240 --> 01:04:37,040
Speaker 9: It because a blow.

1514
01:04:37,840 --> 01:04:40,680
Speaker 4: You also saw the Titans in twenty twenty one lose

1515
01:04:40,720 --> 01:04:43,600
Speaker 4: Henry for nine games and still go twelve and five.

1516
01:04:43,640 --> 01:04:44,520
Speaker 9: How were they able to do that?

1517
01:04:45,840 --> 01:04:49,160
Speaker 17: Yeah, I think it's what I said before about Mike Vrabel.

1518
01:04:49,520 --> 01:04:52,840
Speaker 17: You know, he's just you know, he doesn't panic, he

1519
01:04:52,960 --> 01:04:56,760
Speaker 17: stays to the course. You know, he's he's very resilient

1520
01:04:56,840 --> 01:04:59,520
Speaker 17: that way, and and it it flowed over to the team,

1521
01:05:00,280 --> 01:05:03,800
Speaker 17: you know, and you know, part of you know, part

1522
01:05:03,840 --> 01:05:05,880
Speaker 17: of that job of the head coach is to make

1523
01:05:05,880 --> 01:05:07,720
Speaker 17: sure everybody knows, hey, it's going to be okay. We

1524
01:05:07,880 --> 01:05:09,720
Speaker 17: have you know, we have a plan, we have good

1525
01:05:09,720 --> 01:05:12,919
Speaker 17: players behind. Deontay was able to step in and play

1526
01:05:13,000 --> 01:05:17,160
Speaker 17: good in his place. And you know, I think, I mean,

1527
01:05:17,240 --> 01:05:21,080
Speaker 17: injuries are just factor life in the NFL, and no

1528
01:05:21,280 --> 01:05:24,040
Speaker 17: coach points to injuries as the reason that, you know,

1529
01:05:24,200 --> 01:05:25,160
Speaker 17: you don't perform well.

1530
01:05:25,280 --> 01:05:26,400
Speaker 9: No good coaches do.

1531
01:05:27,000 --> 01:05:29,800
Speaker 17: Right, you know, it's just hey, next guy up, and

1532
01:05:29,960 --> 01:05:32,080
Speaker 17: let's fill them in. Let's find out what we're good at,

1533
01:05:32,160 --> 01:05:35,320
Speaker 17: Let's find out how we best use those guys. And

1534
01:05:35,800 --> 01:05:38,080
Speaker 17: you know, whether you're talking about Derrick, Henry or Nick

1535
01:05:38,360 --> 01:05:43,120
Speaker 17: or you know, anybody else, you know, that's that's just

1536
01:05:43,200 --> 01:05:50,400
Speaker 17: a standard course of action in the NFL. Coach, Hm,

1537
01:05:51,120 --> 01:05:53,520
Speaker 17: I don't know. I mean, there's there's tons. When I

1538
01:05:53,640 --> 01:05:56,400
Speaker 17: was in Tennessee way back in like two thousand and two,

1539
01:05:56,520 --> 01:05:58,880
Speaker 17: we lost Jamon Cursel and first played the game, broke

1540
01:05:58,960 --> 01:06:02,400
Speaker 17: his foot, you know, and he was premier pass rusher

1541
01:06:02,440 --> 01:06:02,960
Speaker 17: in the league.

1542
01:06:03,000 --> 01:06:05,720
Speaker 9: And we ended up in the AFC Championship game that year.

1543
01:06:05,920 --> 01:06:08,800
Speaker 17: So he was able to come back in like ten weeks,

1544
01:06:08,920 --> 01:06:11,240
Speaker 17: but you know, we had to survive him being down

1545
01:06:11,280 --> 01:06:14,080
Speaker 17: in that game, Jeff a rookie seventh round to replaced

1546
01:06:14,160 --> 01:06:17,440
Speaker 17: him in that game, had three sacks. So you know,

1547
01:06:17,560 --> 01:06:20,160
Speaker 17: when when you know, you just don't pay lip service

1548
01:06:20,240 --> 01:06:23,400
Speaker 17: to the next man up, you know, you know, I

1549
01:06:23,440 --> 01:06:27,480
Speaker 17: think I think fans and other people tend to be

1550
01:06:27,680 --> 01:06:30,840
Speaker 17: more concerned about injuries than coaches, because you know, our

1551
01:06:30,880 --> 01:06:32,640
Speaker 17: whole thing is, okay, what's next?

1552
01:06:32,840 --> 01:06:33,320
Speaker 9: What do we do?

1553
01:06:33,480 --> 01:06:35,440
Speaker 17: We don't have time to fret about it. You know,

1554
01:06:35,560 --> 01:06:37,480
Speaker 17: you just go to the to the next guy and

1555
01:06:38,200 --> 01:06:40,600
Speaker 17: move him in and you know, try to be efficient

1556
01:06:40,960 --> 01:06:44,040
Speaker 17: make of your red zone defense. Yeah, we haven't let

1557
01:06:44,040 --> 01:06:47,960
Speaker 17: anybody inside the thirty so not just red zone. Obviously

1558
01:06:48,080 --> 01:06:50,480
Speaker 17: that's not going to continue. But I like where it

1559
01:06:50,600 --> 01:06:54,400
Speaker 17: is right now. You know, either zero percent or one

1560
01:06:54,440 --> 01:06:56,200
Speaker 17: hundred percent, I don't know the way you'd put it,

1561
01:06:56,400 --> 01:06:59,640
Speaker 17: but you know, the last opportunities. Red zone is tough,

1562
01:06:59,800 --> 01:07:04,440
Speaker 17: you know, and and that's where scores happen. And you know,

1563
01:07:04,480 --> 01:07:06,400
Speaker 17: we've given up a couple of field goals, but they've

1564
01:07:06,480 --> 01:07:10,480
Speaker 17: generally been longer field goals, which you know we've seen,

1565
01:07:10,720 --> 01:07:14,120
Speaker 17: We've seen guys miss Cincinnati game and stuff like that.

1566
01:07:14,360 --> 01:07:18,040
Speaker 17: So you know, we just go and play on the

1567
01:07:18,080 --> 01:07:20,200
Speaker 17: field position that we got and hope that we can

1568
01:07:20,240 --> 01:07:22,760
Speaker 17: stop drives. But I think Tony that probably plays a

1569
01:07:22,840 --> 01:07:26,920
Speaker 17: little bit into the third down, you know, And we've

1570
01:07:27,040 --> 01:07:31,000
Speaker 17: made it hard to sustain drives so far. So when

1571
01:07:31,040 --> 01:07:33,600
Speaker 17: you when it's hard to sustain drives and you don't

1572
01:07:33,640 --> 01:07:36,560
Speaker 17: give up a lot of big plays, albeit a seventy

1573
01:07:36,600 --> 01:07:39,160
Speaker 17: one yarder, it makes it hard to get down into

1574
01:07:39,200 --> 01:07:39,720
Speaker 17: the red zone.

1575
01:07:40,120 --> 01:07:41,200
Speaker 8: Was that a clean hit by?

1576
01:07:41,840 --> 01:07:44,000
Speaker 7: Was that a clean hit by Nika Fitzpatrick? And how

1577
01:07:44,040 --> 01:07:47,560
Speaker 7: do you coach your guys you're regarding you know, low.

1578
01:07:47,480 --> 01:07:50,640
Speaker 17: Hits, high hits, And yeah, I glanced at it at

1579
01:07:50,680 --> 01:07:52,600
Speaker 17: the board and I've I haven't watch I haven't watched

1580
01:07:52,640 --> 01:07:55,400
Speaker 17: it since, so you know, it's it's football.
