I'm sitting here like Fred and grow 0:01:02.960 --> 0:01:03.280 that down. 0:01:03.400 --> 0:01:04.360 Yeah. 0:01:04.400 --> 0:01:06.759 But if he did, he. 0:01:06.720 --> 0:01:09.880 Did, Yes, I did. I grew it with love grew. 0:01:11.360 --> 0:01:14.320 You are very loving towards your your produce. 0:01:14.760 --> 0:01:15.360 Thank you man. 0:01:15.440 --> 0:01:17.360 You go what you said last week, you said on 0:01:17.480 --> 0:01:20.440 Tuesday you said, I grow with the strawberries with peppers 0:01:20.520 --> 0:01:21.440 or the bugs don't get there. 0:01:21.520 --> 0:01:24.240 Yeah, you got to learn these these tricks. 0:01:24.319 --> 0:01:26.479 Like the worst thing you can ever do the vegetables 0:01:26.480 --> 0:01:28.759 and fruit is put pesticide on. I know why you're 0:01:28.760 --> 0:01:30.920 doing it, to keep the to keep the bugs out 0:01:30.959 --> 0:01:33.160 so you can eventually eat it. But you got to 0:01:33.200 --> 0:01:35.360 come up with some more shifty ways to make that hat, 0:01:35.480 --> 0:01:36.600 especially when you're doing at your house. 0:01:37.040 --> 0:01:39.320 I just can't imagine Fred ready to get the time 0:01:39.360 --> 0:01:40.200 from the city. 0:01:40.640 --> 0:01:43.680 And play in the dirt basically what I'm doing. 0:01:43.480 --> 0:01:45.280 Like do you put like overalls on Fred and like 0:01:45.319 --> 0:01:46.480 a straw I. 0:01:46.480 --> 0:01:49.360 Don't really get into characters like I go out there. 0:01:49.760 --> 0:01:51.640 Like I told you, I listened to my music, and 0:01:51.640 --> 0:01:53.960 as I listen to my music, I might be trimming 0:01:54.000 --> 0:01:56.360 some weeds. I might be picking some stuff up. It's 0:01:56.400 --> 0:01:58.080 just difference, man, It's different. 0:01:58.400 --> 0:02:02.240 So we got an exciting show. We are previewing preseason 0:02:02.280 --> 0:02:06.880 game one versus the Cleveland Browns, and so Ron hasn't 0:02:06.920 --> 0:02:09.200 talked a ton about what the plan is or anything 0:02:09.240 --> 0:02:13.360 like that. But if you guys were head coach, how 0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:17.160 would you approach reps times? What do you want to see? 0:02:17.200 --> 0:02:18.560 Let's start with Tanne. 0:02:19.160 --> 0:02:20.920 Well, I'm gonna jump out there and say, from just 0:02:21.080 --> 0:02:25.239 my experience, the coaches like to get everybody in that 0:02:25.600 --> 0:02:29.040 season opener mindset. I know it's a preseason yes, but 0:02:29.080 --> 0:02:31.000 we want to make sure everybody know this is how 0:02:31.040 --> 0:02:33.840 we prepare for games. So the next game when it 0:02:33.880 --> 0:02:35.639 gets a little more critical, in the next game when 0:02:35.680 --> 0:02:38.040 it gets critical, then by the time we want come 0:02:38.120 --> 0:02:41.160 we already went through the format. So this should be like, 0:02:41.280 --> 0:02:43.160 you know, dress rehearsal for you guys. So we go 0:02:43.200 --> 0:02:45.320 through dress rehearsal. We're going to show you guys how 0:02:45.360 --> 0:02:47.440 we prepare. We're going to have a period in there 0:02:47.440 --> 0:02:49.320 where we go over the script that plays that we're 0:02:49.360 --> 0:02:51.560 going to have, and so on and so on. I 0:02:51.600 --> 0:02:54.400 think every game is basically every preseason game is just 0:02:54.480 --> 0:02:56.400 like you warming up for the game, showing these guys 0:02:56.400 --> 0:02:57.520 that if you make the team, this is what we 0:02:57.560 --> 0:02:59.400 expect out of you. But due to the fact that 0:02:59.520 --> 0:03:01.760 just the first preseason game we got to get these 0:03:01.760 --> 0:03:04.359 guys that's going to probably play the most to have 0:03:04.400 --> 0:03:06.480 that kind of game sense of mindset, you know what 0:03:06.520 --> 0:03:08.600 I mean, I know the starters and the guys who's 0:03:08.639 --> 0:03:10.680 going to make the squad. You kind of almost like 0:03:10.760 --> 0:03:13.240 rest my son, flout Seeds. I'm ready to be sitting 0:03:13.280 --> 0:03:15.440 on the sideline watching these other guys play. But you 0:03:15.480 --> 0:03:17.400 got to get those young guys and everybody who's on 0:03:17.400 --> 0:03:19.000 that bubble and those guys who's trying to make the 0:03:19.000 --> 0:03:21.600 squad to have that mindset. This is how we're going 0:03:21.680 --> 0:03:22.519 to prepare for the game. 0:03:22.960 --> 0:03:26.280 I'm sorry, Sam can't play no less than twenty plays 0:03:26.280 --> 0:03:29.320 for me. Yeah, he's the guy that I need out there. 0:03:29.360 --> 0:03:31.280 So if he's out there, my first whole line out there. 0:03:31.320 --> 0:03:33.240 I would never let him go out there without their 0:03:33.240 --> 0:03:35.600 first old line out there to protect him. So they 0:03:35.840 --> 0:03:38.080 need to get in the mind frame of twenty plus plays. 0:03:38.320 --> 0:03:42.400 Either it's on you. Either two good drives, whatever you want. 0:03:42.640 --> 0:03:44.160 You can be out of here any and of the 0:03:44.160 --> 0:03:44.960 first if you want to. 0:03:45.200 --> 0:03:47.080 So at the end of the day, I want I 0:03:47.120 --> 0:03:49.080 want to see least sixty plays from him in the 0:03:49.080 --> 0:03:51.520 preseason same how total. 0:03:51.400 --> 0:03:53.800 So even in the Baltimore game, you wanted to play. 0:03:53.720 --> 0:03:56.760 If I like the one thing coaches, they cannot afford 0:03:56.800 --> 0:03:57.880 to start slow this year. 0:03:57.920 --> 0:03:59.520 I don't want to hear any of your excuses. 0:03:59.560 --> 0:04:02.960 This is why out in a backup, like, because if 0:04:03.000 --> 0:04:04.600 I need you to play, I know what I'm. 0:04:04.480 --> 0:04:06.320 Getting I have to put. 0:04:06.600 --> 0:04:08.400 I can't say I'm going to give Sam hit the 0:04:08.400 --> 0:04:10.880 best chance to succeed when I'm not working you in 0:04:10.880 --> 0:04:13.880 that preseason, knowing I can get you some rips against 0:04:13.880 --> 0:04:16.280 the second team on some guys, I can get you some. 0:04:16.320 --> 0:04:17.719 Rips with the first team. 0:04:17.800 --> 0:04:20.640 Fire his our offensive line, maybe some wide house, maybe 0:04:20.680 --> 0:04:21.440 some tight ends. 0:04:21.600 --> 0:04:23.520 I just need him to get to work. 0:04:23.680 --> 0:04:26.520 Is there any concern about injury? Not necessarily to Sam, 0:04:26.520 --> 0:04:28.560 but to one of the other starters that has to 0:04:28.600 --> 0:04:31.200 be in when Sam is in You know you got Leno, 0:04:31.240 --> 0:04:33.680 who's an experienced guy, Gates, I've been around a little bit. 0:04:33.720 --> 0:04:35.880 I need you in there. So if he's in there, 0:04:36.080 --> 0:04:36.560 you in there. 0:04:36.640 --> 0:04:39.400 Last year they did the Lucas thing, like Leno, who's 0:04:39.440 --> 0:04:42.479 the ten year eleven year guy comes out, Lucas goes in, Yeah, 0:04:42.839 --> 0:04:46.279 or Carnage Lucas. Excuse me, but so old lines in? 0:04:46.320 --> 0:04:48.840 Are the receivers in with him? 0:04:48.680 --> 0:04:50.040 I want to see everybody. 0:04:50.040 --> 0:04:50.960 I'm gonna cut you off free. 0:04:51.000 --> 0:04:53.000 I just want to see everybody give him, give him 0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:55.560 a series, give him a chance to move the ball 0:04:55.600 --> 0:04:57.960 together once they get that first down. I seen enough, 0:04:58.040 --> 0:05:00.040 you know, however you are, you know, I just I 0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:03.200 just feel like it's crazy that we sit here and 0:05:03.400 --> 0:05:06.599 you brought up that whole thing about do we you know, 0:05:07.480 --> 0:05:09.120 have that in the back of our heads about anybody 0:05:09.160 --> 0:05:13.400 getting injured. Man for my first let's say ten years 0:05:13.400 --> 0:05:16.720 of my career, Yeah, we played in the preseason. Our 0:05:16.720 --> 0:05:19.800 coaches didn't worry about nobody not being there available. Now, 0:05:20.160 --> 0:05:22.200 we did have Chad Pennington go down one time in 0:05:22.240 --> 0:05:24.160 the preseason, but Chad was out there playing like he 0:05:24.200 --> 0:05:26.080 was in regular season for him, trying to scramble and 0:05:26.120 --> 0:05:28.360 slide and do all that other stuff. So you have 0:05:28.400 --> 0:05:30.920 to risk that sometime. But at the same time, you're 0:05:30.960 --> 0:05:34.599 thinking about how much can I give these guys to 0:05:34.680 --> 0:05:38.119 get them physically and mentally ready for the next step 0:05:38.320 --> 0:05:39.920 and the next step and then week one. 0:05:40.279 --> 0:05:42.440 I'm glad you said mentally ready, because that's really kind 0:05:42.440 --> 0:05:42.919 of what it is. 0:05:42.960 --> 0:05:43.120 Right. 0:05:43.120 --> 0:05:45.440 It's like you've kind of ramped training camp, you know, 0:05:45.560 --> 0:05:49.120 no pads, pads, first preseason game, it's like you go 0:05:49.200 --> 0:05:51.920 to the stadium, you get dressed, you do your warm up, 0:05:51.960 --> 0:05:54.320 you start your routine. So there's a lot of value 0:05:54.360 --> 0:05:56.080 there and then there's a little bit of extra emotion. 0:05:56.200 --> 0:05:58.000 Right it's not crazy, yeah, like. 0:05:58.000 --> 0:06:01.080 Just like but it's ratching up man games now, I 0:06:01.120 --> 0:06:01.840 think you. 0:06:01.760 --> 0:06:03.400 Can't look at it like you did when we had 0:06:03.520 --> 0:06:05.400 four games three. 0:06:05.520 --> 0:06:07.839 It's like, way, I might have to play him in 0:06:07.839 --> 0:06:10.320 this first one because the second game is really our 0:06:10.360 --> 0:06:11.880 game and the third with nobody played. 0:06:12.600 --> 0:06:15.479 So it's like, well, it'd be interesting because also I 0:06:15.520 --> 0:06:18.080 think that when you have a joint practice with the team. 0:06:17.960 --> 0:06:20.240 Usually it's where we win in it, that's where we win. 0:06:20.400 --> 0:06:23.200 Usually the starters won't play, you know what I'm saying, Like, 0:06:23.240 --> 0:06:25.240 so it'll be a backup game. So he's really got 0:06:25.240 --> 0:06:27.880 to play in this one or. 0:06:28.279 --> 0:06:30.960 Not be seen in the preseason, and we can't afford 0:06:31.000 --> 0:06:32.840 they like I'm sorry, he might got. 0:06:32.760 --> 0:06:34.920 To give me ten to fifteen plays against the Ravens 0:06:34.920 --> 0:06:37.120 second team. If that's what they playing, so be it. 0:06:37.160 --> 0:06:38.560 But we know how Ravens are. 0:06:38.600 --> 0:06:40.840 I want the reps regardless of who out there. If 0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:42.560 you can, if you got your second guys in us, 0:06:42.600 --> 0:06:44.520 so be it. We're fina, We're finna make them wish 0:06:44.560 --> 0:06:46.080 that they went on the field, you know what I mean? 0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:47.920 Yeah, I think I think for Sam, I think we 0:06:47.960 --> 0:06:50.919 all agree he's got to get reps right. But the 0:06:50.960 --> 0:06:52.760 thing that gets me is like, if he's out there, 0:06:52.839 --> 0:06:56.200 you're starting on lines out there? Yeah, can you risk again? 0:06:56.440 --> 0:06:57.640 Risk and injury to that group? 0:06:57.839 --> 0:06:58.320 Sports? 0:06:58.520 --> 0:07:02.000 Sports is about injuries. Guess what next? Man up mentality, 0:07:02.160 --> 0:07:04.440 that's how you truly feel. We've been rosched building right 0:07:04.760 --> 0:07:07.280 when you roster Bill to have flexibility. 0:07:07.440 --> 0:07:08.920 So he talked a lot about the offense right there, 0:07:08.920 --> 0:07:10.680 and I think because that's kind of where the storyline is. Like, 0:07:10.960 --> 0:07:13.040 another thing I want to ask you, Tennant and Fred too, 0:07:13.560 --> 0:07:15.400 is what kind of game plan are you putting in? 0:07:15.560 --> 0:07:18.200 Because I remember early preseason it was like hey, man 0:07:18.400 --> 0:07:20.360 day one, day two in saw go have fun and 0:07:20.400 --> 0:07:22.000 you could just play as fast as you wanted to. 0:07:22.040 --> 0:07:25.440 There was no like real game plan. It wasn't like 0:07:25.520 --> 0:07:28.160 let's scheme up Cleveland's defense. It was like, hey, we're 0:07:28.200 --> 0:07:31.560 running stick flat, running double stick, We're running basics. You 0:07:31.600 --> 0:07:34.160 know what I mean? Nothing too crazy you because it 0:07:34.200 --> 0:07:36.480 is Sam. No, you want to see someone No. 0:07:36.680 --> 0:07:40.200 Because I need to hide my offense, my true outfense 0:07:40.240 --> 0:07:44.080 from people. So I for me to have that first 0:07:44.080 --> 0:07:48.080 five six weeks of unpredictability play Collein wise, I cannot 0:07:48.160 --> 0:07:50.240 show you who I really am in I'll season like 0:07:50.280 --> 0:07:52.560 I'm running certain plays for Sam to see him make 0:07:52.600 --> 0:07:53.200 some throws. 0:07:53.640 --> 0:07:56.280 This is not my offense. We are. It's part of 0:07:56.280 --> 0:07:57.120 my offense, but. 0:07:57.120 --> 0:07:59.040 It's not like how I'm gonna formation is. 0:07:59.560 --> 0:08:01.560 It's not I'm an attack you in the first three 0:08:01.600 --> 0:08:02.280 weeks before well. 0:08:02.280 --> 0:08:04.520 One of the things that I love and I always 0:08:04.520 --> 0:08:08.160 think back and reflect on stuff that I experienced. When 0:08:08.200 --> 0:08:10.480 you asked me that question, the first thing I thought 0:08:10.480 --> 0:08:12.880 it back about, you know, playing with Caldom. I feel 0:08:12.880 --> 0:08:14.880 like we ran out. We ran our stuff. Now we 0:08:14.960 --> 0:08:17.600 probably have so many other ways of getting to what 0:08:17.640 --> 0:08:20.040 we do in formations. It wasn't all the formations, but 0:08:20.120 --> 0:08:23.040 it was the basic stuff that we ran. I was running, 0:08:23.520 --> 0:08:26.640 you know, option routes in the preseason. I was running 0:08:26.640 --> 0:08:29.040 sticks routes in the preseason. I was running. 0:08:30.280 --> 0:08:31.120 In the preseason. 0:08:31.480 --> 0:08:33.440 So we ran our stuff, but it just was like 0:08:33.559 --> 0:08:35.480 the generic part of it, Like it was just like 0:08:35.559 --> 0:08:39.480 simple base, you know, basic, you know the formations you know, 0:08:39.920 --> 0:08:41.960 so I would say we I'm pretty sure this officers 0:08:41.960 --> 0:08:44.520 have the same same, same way of going about business. 0:08:44.559 --> 0:08:46.680 You know, run your stuff, get to what you're trying 0:08:46.679 --> 0:08:48.840 to get to see what you're trying to see. But 0:08:48.880 --> 0:08:50.680 don't go out there with a whole bunch of you know, 0:08:50.760 --> 0:08:53.200 different formations and showing the world whatever you know what 0:08:53.240 --> 0:08:53.640 you can do. 0:08:53.760 --> 0:08:54.360 Yeah, yeah, I. 0:08:54.320 --> 0:08:56.280 Think that's actually yeah, I think I think it'll probably 0:08:56.320 --> 0:08:58.040 look something like that. You know, it'll be interesting to 0:08:58.040 --> 0:09:01.360 se how many say players if it's team twenty five. 0:09:01.360 --> 0:09:03.960 It's almost damned if you do. Damned if you don't. 0:09:04.000 --> 0:09:05.680 Because if you don't play him in those snaps and 0:09:05.720 --> 0:09:08.640 we started out slow, everybody be like, well then, because 0:09:08.640 --> 0:09:11.559 you treated him like a ten year starter in the preseason. 0:09:11.800 --> 0:09:14.160 So I think we just got to throw it in, 0:09:14.200 --> 0:09:15.480 throw it in the hats to see what happened. 0:09:15.520 --> 0:09:18.680 Yeah, But else, I think they You could also hypothetically, 0:09:18.679 --> 0:09:20.360 I think he's gonna play. I think he's gonna play 0:09:20.520 --> 0:09:22.440 fifteen to twenty five snaps. Like you, Fred, I'm in 0:09:22.480 --> 0:09:24.520 that same boat. But you could also lean on that 0:09:24.640 --> 0:09:27.040 Baltimore practice and be like, we're gonna get to see him. 0:09:27.200 --> 0:09:29.040 This and this way, you're gonna get the real this one. 0:09:29.080 --> 0:09:31.400 I can run my play, I can run my plagues 0:09:31.440 --> 0:09:33.120 against the Ravens that closed practice. 0:09:33.200 --> 0:09:37.920 Yeah, I agree. All right, So that's offense defense very 0:09:38.080 --> 0:09:41.199 very different in terms of how much they're gonna play, 0:09:41.240 --> 0:09:43.960 how much we need to see him. What would you 0:09:44.000 --> 0:09:45.319 do with that starting in D line or any of 0:09:45.360 --> 0:09:48.600 those guys playing. I mean, I don't even really want 0:09:48.640 --> 0:09:49.520 to play Casey two Hill and. 0:09:49.520 --> 0:09:51.199 James wi Williams. I'm like, you got it. 0:09:51.280 --> 0:09:54.199 I'm a guy that played in the two thousand. We 0:09:54.280 --> 0:09:55.839 played preseason game, I know. 0:09:55.800 --> 0:09:57.800 But you didn't have joint practices. You know things we 0:09:59.400 --> 0:10:01.840 practice against the. 0:10:04.040 --> 0:10:06.240 Jets against you guys. 0:10:06.120 --> 0:10:07.920 Would do the practice and then you would go play 0:10:07.920 --> 0:10:08.600 the preseason game. 0:10:08.640 --> 0:10:10.400 We just yeah, so we we did the same thing 0:10:10.440 --> 0:10:12.560 with the Jets. When I was the Jets, we played 0:10:12.720 --> 0:10:15.920 practice against the Giants, played in the preseason game. And 0:10:16.000 --> 0:10:18.640 when I got here, every year we went against the 0:10:18.720 --> 0:10:21.760 Rape every every year, played them in that preseason game. 0:10:21.840 --> 0:10:24.200 And you were playing there even though you practice against them. 0:10:24.240 --> 0:10:26.200 Yes, and you know, the Ravens love to win the 0:10:26.200 --> 0:10:31.400 preseason so they got first team and the undefeated defeated. 0:10:31.480 --> 0:10:33.760 Up to last year, they never lost the game. 0:10:33.880 --> 0:10:36.920 Seriously, that's wild and so again, So I guess my 0:10:37.000 --> 0:10:39.440 question is, so Sanzo, I know you're an old head 0:10:39.440 --> 0:10:42.440 and you want them to play, but do they do 0:10:42.480 --> 0:10:43.400 you do they need to play? 0:10:44.040 --> 0:10:45.200 Give me five or six players? 0:10:45.240 --> 0:10:49.040 Yeah, give me something. Then stand up for these guys. 0:10:49.040 --> 0:10:50.880 Just put your hand in the dirt. Showed me that 0:10:50.920 --> 0:10:53.480 you're ready. You know what I mean? You know I'm 0:10:53.520 --> 0:10:53.920 with you. 0:10:53.960 --> 0:10:57.320 But like for fans, why is that important? Like why 0:10:57.360 --> 0:10:58.760 is it important just to get them out there for 0:10:58.800 --> 0:10:59.280 a couple. 0:10:59.240 --> 0:11:01.760 They coming, They coming to see those guys anywhere. We're 0:11:01.800 --> 0:11:03.640 not out here. We're not out here to serve our 0:11:03.640 --> 0:11:05.559 fans right now, although we are in the business of 0:11:05.600 --> 0:11:07.319 serving and make sure that they're happy and we put 0:11:07.320 --> 0:11:09.640 on a great show. But they also have to understand 0:11:09.800 --> 0:11:12.240 preseason and you want to see these guys be their 0:11:12.280 --> 0:11:13.600 best more. 0:11:13.640 --> 0:11:15.800 What I'm saying is like, why is it important for 0:11:15.840 --> 0:11:17.599 fans for them to just be out there for a 0:11:17.640 --> 0:11:18.880 couple of steps. You know what I'm saying. It's not 0:11:18.960 --> 0:11:20.319 like we're not doing it for the fans. 0:11:20.679 --> 0:11:21.880 A lot of times, like we don't want them to 0:11:21.920 --> 0:11:24.400 get but no, no, I need them to be out 0:11:24.400 --> 0:11:27.080 there because I can't hide you football players from football. 0:11:28.080 --> 0:11:28.959 I'm tired of people. 0:11:28.800 --> 0:11:30.240 You don't even know how it is to go against 0:11:30.280 --> 0:11:33.520 somebody else. They need to feel how they need to 0:11:33.520 --> 0:11:36.240 prepare that. Like you always said, your mind and you 0:11:36.240 --> 0:11:39.040 know mentally you need to go out there and hit 0:11:39.080 --> 0:11:40.360 somebody else's helm the. 0:11:40.280 --> 0:11:42.520 First time you make attack. I should not be against 0:11:42.520 --> 0:11:43.120 Coke McCoy. 0:11:43.400 --> 0:11:45.800 That's a great point, like one hundred percent agree. Like 0:11:45.840 --> 0:11:47.559 Matt Ryan, when I was at Atlanta, I was like, 0:11:47.600 --> 0:11:49.160 how do you feel about the preseason? Like I gotta 0:11:49.240 --> 0:11:52.400 have one where I'm playing like a half and that's 0:11:52.480 --> 0:11:55.400 just gets it sets this table mentally for me for 0:11:55.200 --> 0:11:55.800 the years. 0:11:55.840 --> 0:11:57.480 And you see how you say mentally, that's how I 0:11:57.640 --> 0:12:00.440 was as a receiver. I used to tell myself, I 0:12:00.480 --> 0:12:03.440 need to get one catch a preseason game and that's 0:12:03.440 --> 0:12:05.600 going to build me up to going. I remember one pre. 0:12:05.559 --> 0:12:07.160 Seas game I had about four or five catch. 0:12:07.360 --> 0:12:09.400 I was like, man, this is too much, you know, 0:12:09.480 --> 0:12:11.559 but I always wanted at least one catch. I think 0:12:11.600 --> 0:12:14.360 the preseason is very important just mentally for all of us, 0:12:14.640 --> 0:12:17.480 but we understand as a lot of guys it's more 0:12:17.480 --> 0:12:19.160 important because they have to make you know, make a. 0:12:19.120 --> 0:12:23.240 Squad absolutely, So for let's talk about position battles. Anybody 0:12:23.240 --> 0:12:25.600 that you've got an ion specifically, I know Forbes, the 0:12:25.600 --> 0:12:28.520 young guy right. You want to see him. Do we 0:12:28.559 --> 0:12:30.400 get any information about how they're going to utilize the 0:12:30.440 --> 0:12:31.520 corners in this situation. 0:12:31.880 --> 0:12:34.040 I want to see klun Moyd because he one of 0:12:34.080 --> 0:12:35.360 the guys in the puzzle. 0:12:35.720 --> 0:12:37.000 I don't know exactly where his. 0:12:37.080 --> 0:12:39.640 Piece is at, so he one of those guys I 0:12:39.640 --> 0:12:42.440 want to see. I want to see Percy Butler. 0:12:42.760 --> 0:12:43.560 He's been a little quiet. 0:12:44.520 --> 0:12:45.679 I want to see I want to see him. I 0:12:45.679 --> 0:12:46.840 want to see Collie Hudson. 0:12:47.480 --> 0:12:50.120 You know it's kind of different. You want to see 0:12:50.160 --> 0:12:52.040 Percy to see if he comes to life. Yeah, and 0:12:52.080 --> 0:12:53.679 you want to see Kaleik to see if it's real. 0:12:54.480 --> 0:12:57.400 Keep going, keep going. We keep gaining this momentum that 0:12:57.480 --> 0:12:57.760 he got. 0:12:58.040 --> 0:12:59.920 So I got some guys that I know gonna play 0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:02.360 some reps that I want to see, Like I want 0:13:02.360 --> 0:13:04.360 to see John. I want to see big Ridgeway out 0:13:04.400 --> 0:13:06.360 there because he gonna have that mind frame that I 0:13:06.360 --> 0:13:09.320 shouldn't be out here. You know how it is like 0:13:09.360 --> 0:13:11.600 a guy that played his way to some respect, but 0:13:11.640 --> 0:13:13.800 you still like the fifth gown on the depth charge, 0:13:14.280 --> 0:13:16.240 but I want to see him mavel some people out 0:13:16.240 --> 0:13:17.520 there because he don't want to be out there. 0:13:17.559 --> 0:13:18.760 So it's a couple. 0:13:18.520 --> 0:13:21.000 Of guys out there for different reasons that I want 0:13:21.000 --> 0:13:21.560 to see. 0:13:21.360 --> 0:13:23.400 You know. I want to see some of the young receivers, 0:13:24.200 --> 0:13:26.079 you know, I want to see Alan. I want to 0:13:26.120 --> 0:13:28.360 see how special can he be on a special teams, 0:13:28.400 --> 0:13:30.800 you know, standpoint of it in Tensionly all those guys, 0:13:30.840 --> 0:13:32.679 I want to see who are going to be that 0:13:33.440 --> 0:13:35.440 bubble guy or the guy that we say, okay, he's 0:13:35.440 --> 0:13:37.360 good enough to be on the practice squad because we 0:13:37.440 --> 0:13:39.440 can't you know, you know, we can't risk let someone 0:13:39.440 --> 0:13:41.240 else get them. But I also want to see those 0:13:41.240 --> 0:13:44.280 tight ends. I'm wondering where who's the third guy? What 0:13:44.520 --> 0:13:46.240 is turning going to be that guy this year that 0:13:46.280 --> 0:13:47.960 we can kind of want to go out there and 0:13:47.960 --> 0:13:48.720 do some things, you know. 0:13:48.800 --> 0:13:50.440 I think that's an interesting one because it's like with 0:13:50.559 --> 0:13:52.960 Logan out, a guy that's going to play a lot 0:13:52.960 --> 0:13:54.480 of football for this team is gonna have to play 0:13:54.520 --> 0:13:56.520 a lot of snaps. So who's that going to be? 0:13:56.559 --> 0:13:58.040 Who's going to be out Jude? Is it? 0:13:58.160 --> 0:14:00.120 John bas base Motel. 0:14:00.440 --> 0:14:02.640 I think it's I think it's gotta be. I mean, 0:14:02.679 --> 0:14:03.960 maybe Cole's got that roster. 0:14:04.800 --> 0:14:08.000 Well, no, no, I say Judd because he does nothing special. 0:14:08.040 --> 0:14:10.640 He's just good at everything. And I know how coach 0:14:10.760 --> 0:14:13.480 is about blocking. So he's the best blocker at the group. 0:14:13.520 --> 0:14:14.480 Can we can we say. 0:14:14.360 --> 0:14:16.559 That, I mean, best blocker in the league. 0:14:16.679 --> 0:14:19.000 Yeah. So, And I think he's one of those guys. 0:14:19.040 --> 0:14:24.560 This sneakily fast, didn't you think he is? So like he. 0:14:24.560 --> 0:14:28.680 Reminds me of Jay Novacheck. Just I just do whatever 0:14:28.720 --> 0:14:29.200 you ask me. 0:14:29.280 --> 0:14:31.960 He's the guy that quietly, if they wanted to throw 0:14:32.000 --> 0:14:34.840 the ball to him more, he can be very productive 0:14:34.840 --> 0:14:37.240 in the passing game as well, but they don't. But 0:14:37.400 --> 0:14:40.040 the times that he has, you'd be like this, I 0:14:40.080 --> 0:14:42.360 can catch. Just give him enough, you know, give him 0:14:42.440 --> 0:14:43.880 enough plays in the game where he's going to touch 0:14:43.880 --> 0:14:45.680 the ball because he can actually, you know, go out 0:14:45.680 --> 0:14:48.800 there and sneaky and beat some guys. And so y'all 0:14:48.800 --> 0:14:50.120 love to see what goes on him too. But I 0:14:50.200 --> 0:14:52.760 think he's he's solidified that he's number two, you know 0:14:52.760 --> 0:14:53.080 what I mean? 0:14:53.560 --> 0:14:55.680 So for me other Titans, it is probably Curtis Hodges 0:14:55.720 --> 0:15:00.280 because he's the guy at practice. He's got silky smooth out. 0:15:00.360 --> 0:15:01.520 He's this big six. 0:15:01.400 --> 0:15:03.440 Eight guy, built like a Greek guy. 0:15:03.480 --> 0:15:05.240 I want to see it. I want to see it 0:15:05.280 --> 0:15:08.200 come together. And sometimes guys need the preseason game for 0:15:08.240 --> 0:15:11.520 it to come together. Because he's good, he doesn't finish plays. 0:15:11.560 --> 0:15:14.840 There's a like, so you you saying that the switch 0:15:15.080 --> 0:15:15.760 has it flipped. 0:15:15.840 --> 0:15:17.280 It looks like to me, it looks like you know 0:15:17.320 --> 0:15:19.800 what I'm saying, Like he still thinking too much. It's 0:15:19.800 --> 0:15:21.840 like still thinking too much. It's not quite there yet. 0:15:21.840 --> 0:15:24.520 So I'm hoping get him out to practice, let him, 0:15:24.560 --> 0:15:26.880
