So let me do something too 0:02:20.680 --> 0:02:24.320 here before we get started. Just personally, I've never been 0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:29.840 a big birthday person. No, and after two thousand and one, 0:02:30.240 --> 0:02:34.480 I especially was an even less of a birthday person 0:02:34.600 --> 0:02:38.880 for good reason, having a September eleventh birthday. But my 0:02:38.960 --> 0:02:43.360 birthday has just passed, and many people have been kind 0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:47.200 enough to wish me a happy birthday. The team put 0:02:47.240 --> 0:02:51.720 it out on X they did. I was surprised by that. Yeah. 0:02:51.760 --> 0:02:55.440 And then Ashley Ferrell put out a video of me 0:02:55.560 --> 0:02:58.200 dancing in the booth to wish me a happy birthday, 0:02:58.240 --> 0:03:04.360 which many people saw on Instagram and the former Twitter. Yeah, 0:03:04.400 --> 0:03:07.720 and not even bothered, you know, not even as annoyed 0:03:07.760 --> 0:03:10.720 as you would probably think I would be because. 0:03:10.760 --> 0:03:13.079 Because Ashley put it out. If I had put it out, 0:03:13.400 --> 0:03:14.079 I'd be fired. 0:03:14.160 --> 0:03:18.200 No, But I because I just very much appreciated all 0:03:18.280 --> 0:03:21.480 of the birthday greetings. I thank you for all of them. 0:03:21.560 --> 0:03:24.640 They made my day. And what especially made my day 0:03:25.120 --> 0:03:29.720 was all the pictures that people posted in different places 0:03:29.800 --> 0:03:32.160 where we've had a chance to meet at games, on 0:03:32.360 --> 0:03:38.120 road trips, at different team meetups outside of playoff games 0:03:38.200 --> 0:03:43.440 in London, when I stop at Starbucks, you know, whatever 0:03:43.560 --> 0:03:46.680 where we've met, and and the pictures and over the years, 0:03:46.760 --> 0:03:48.840 and I'm looking back on thinking, oh, well that was 0:03:48.880 --> 0:03:52.440 that year because I recognized the pullover or I you know, 0:03:52.560 --> 0:03:55.640 recognized the glasses at that time. Oh I had those 0:03:55.680 --> 0:03:58.440 back then, So that was just great. So thank you. 0:03:58.600 --> 0:04:00.440 I just wanted to say thank you to the ot 0:04:00.600 --> 0:04:01.680 people and everyone else. 0:04:01.840 --> 0:04:02.960 Well, happy belated, I. 0:04:03.000 --> 0:04:04.560 Had a wonderful birthday. Very kind. 0:04:04.800 --> 0:04:05.720 People like you a lot. 0:04:05.800 --> 0:04:08.480 Mike Key, well, thank you, coach. That's very kind. We 0:04:08.640 --> 0:04:10.720 like you a lot, coach, and we like and we 0:04:10.960 --> 0:04:14.520 like you on the OTP Pre Game, which comes out 0:04:14.560 --> 0:04:17.320 every Thursday night at eighth Central. So the OTP with 0:04:17.320 --> 0:04:21.800 Brian Callahan Mondays at eight Central, it hits, the OTP 0:04:22.040 --> 0:04:26.719 Pre Game Thursdays at eight Central, it hits. So you 0:04:26.720 --> 0:04:28.640 get two a week. You've got two a week, and 0:04:28.680 --> 0:04:30.520 now you know when and where to expect them. 0:04:30.600 --> 0:04:33.400 Yes, hardest working people in show business. 0:04:33.480 --> 0:04:35.080 I'm going to write all this down for you. 0:04:35.000 --> 0:04:35.240 All right. 0:04:35.520 --> 0:04:39.320 So what we have is the OTP Pre Game. We 0:04:39.440 --> 0:04:43.640 have five topics, and here's topic one for Coach Mac. 0:04:43.880 --> 0:04:47.200 The Titans will practice this week and will enter Sunday's 0:04:47.240 --> 0:04:51.920 game with the Jets with every player from last weekend 0:04:52.040 --> 0:04:57.960 season opener available, no one lost for the game. Is 0:04:58.040 --> 0:05:01.320 that really a big deal? Making too much out of it? 0:05:01.360 --> 0:05:04.000 And if it is a big deal, why big deal? 0:05:04.400 --> 0:05:07.360 Big deal? Continuity is what you look for, and especially 0:05:07.400 --> 0:05:10.400 with this new staff and a new football team coming 0:05:10.400 --> 0:05:13.080 together and you've got a lot of new players now 0:05:13.080 --> 0:05:15.880 they've been together since the OTAs, But being able to 0:05:15.880 --> 0:05:19.960 get time on task in the regular season is really big. 0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:22.880 You don't want to get segmented with different people having 0:05:22.880 --> 0:05:24.680 to come in and out, in and out early in 0:05:24.760 --> 0:05:28.280 the season. It's a big deal. It's a real big 0:05:28.320 --> 0:05:30.760 deal for a coach, and it's a real big deal 0:05:30.760 --> 0:05:34.039 for the continuity and then the flow and the function 0:05:34.400 --> 0:05:35.480 of your football team. 0:05:35.720 --> 0:05:39.279 I can't remember that happening where the Titans have left 0:05:39.360 --> 0:05:43.000 Week one healthy enough that they could go into Week 0:05:43.040 --> 0:05:46.080 two with exactly the same group. It always seems like, 0:05:46.600 --> 0:05:48.880 even if it's just for a week, you've lost one 0:05:49.040 --> 0:05:50.640 or two or three guys. 0:05:51.040 --> 0:05:55.200 Yeah, I can't remember a time where it was completely 0:05:56.440 --> 0:05:59.000 the same from one to the next. And I think 0:05:59.040 --> 0:06:02.279 that to max point that consistency is so good. Being 0:06:02.320 --> 0:06:06.120 able to get more time to kind of gel together 0:06:06.440 --> 0:06:10.320 and become that unit that because of all the communication things, 0:06:10.360 --> 0:06:13.680 of all the just choreography of making all of this work, 0:06:13.760 --> 0:06:18.640 successfully having more time with the same people is so valuable. 0:06:18.760 --> 0:06:22.640 So hopefully, I mean, knock on what let's I mean, 0:06:22.720 --> 0:06:24.920 let's keep this going as long as we can, because 0:06:24.960 --> 0:06:27.280 the more consistency, the better it feels like that. 0:06:27.360 --> 0:06:29.640 The other thing about it is is you're getting people, 0:06:29.960 --> 0:06:33.960 even more people put on more, getting more people back. 0:06:34.080 --> 0:06:36.799 This is a like Jamal Adams. This is a huge plus, 0:06:36.880 --> 0:06:41.320 Okay huge. Can Brian Callahan and his offensive coordinator Nick 0:06:41.360 --> 0:06:45.960 Holts design a game plan that can help Will Levis 0:06:46.200 --> 0:06:49.120 build confidence as he plays against this Jets deal? 0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:52.320 They absolutely can, And every every game takes on its 0:06:52.320 --> 0:06:54.400 own nature. But what you want to do, you want 0:06:54.400 --> 0:06:55.880 to you and in form it not only to the 0:06:55.880 --> 0:06:58.920 structure of the defenses you're playing against, but also to 0:06:59.000 --> 0:07:02.200 the to the character of your team. They're just still 0:07:02.279 --> 0:07:05.479 finding out the character of this football team. But can 0:07:05.520 --> 0:07:08.520 they that that is the design, That is what you 0:07:08.880 --> 0:07:11.240 that's what you look at. You look at the matchups 0:07:11.280 --> 0:07:13.040 of who you're playing. You look at some of the 0:07:13.040 --> 0:07:15.920 things that you've done and see what you've done. Well, 0:07:16.120 --> 0:07:19.280 you've got one game shot at this already, and you 0:07:19.720 --> 0:07:21.600 see what you're going to have to be able to 0:07:21.640 --> 0:07:25.880 string together. But absolutely they can't. Every week. Every week 0:07:25.960 --> 0:07:30.240 the game plan is formed around the opponent that you 0:07:30.320 --> 0:07:32.920 are playing. You still got basic things that you work 0:07:32.960 --> 0:07:35.440 on all the time. But that's the difference in the 0:07:35.520 --> 0:07:38.920 National Football League going week to week to week is 0:07:38.920 --> 0:07:41.239 you got to form it depending on who you're playing. 0:07:41.400 --> 0:07:43.560 Now, coach, I've never been a play caller in the 0:07:43.640 --> 0:07:48.080 National Football League or otherwise, but I know that when 0:07:48.160 --> 0:07:51.680 you're putting together your plan for game days, you try 0:07:51.720 --> 0:07:54.800 to script out some of your first couple of plays, 0:07:54.880 --> 0:07:56.600 the things that you really want to make sure that 0:07:56.680 --> 0:07:59.840 you're you're getting in there. Are they going to put 0:07:59.840 --> 0:08:03.600 in extra emphasis on some things that we can definitely 0:08:03.640 --> 0:08:05.920 get this for Will? This is something that is it 0:08:05.960 --> 0:08:07.760 going to be a home run? We don't know, but 0:08:07.880 --> 0:08:11.000 it's going to help him gain that confidence that things 0:08:11.000 --> 0:08:14.080 are going well. Are there some of the safety plays, 0:08:14.160 --> 0:08:17.400 I don't know, confidence builder plays that they can infuse 0:08:17.440 --> 0:08:18.200 into their plan. 0:08:18.440 --> 0:08:21.440 Most of the scripting is done to be able to 0:08:21.520 --> 0:08:24.800 get a look at how the defense is going to 0:08:24.840 --> 0:08:27.800 react to personnel groups, how they're going to react to 0:08:27.840 --> 0:08:30.600 what you set up. Now you talk about getting a 0:08:30.720 --> 0:08:34.520 quarterback in rhythm, there absolutely is, not only with Will Levice, 0:08:34.840 --> 0:08:38.200 but with all the offensive coordinators I've been associated with. 0:08:38.600 --> 0:08:42.000 They like to give their quarterbacks something to get started. 0:08:42.440 --> 0:08:44.160 And I mean it's kind of like you know, starting 0:08:44.200 --> 0:08:47.000 your engine. You don't match the accelerator to the floor 0:08:47.320 --> 0:08:49.720 the first time you get behind the wheel, but you'd 0:08:49.760 --> 0:08:52.640 like to get something started off then you can gradually 0:08:52.679 --> 0:08:55.240 start to accelerate. So the answer to that is yes. 0:08:55.679 --> 0:08:56.920 Now it is. 0:08:56.960 --> 0:09:00.280 Different depending on the defense that you're playing against. Some 0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:04.400 defenses just won't allow you to do some things. But 0:09:04.440 --> 0:09:07.400 that's that's what the game plan is about. Tailoring some 0:09:07.440 --> 0:09:11.480 of those fast starters. And it's not explosive plays. It's 0:09:11.520 --> 0:09:14.960 to get in a rhythm. This is a chain progression offense. 0:09:15.240 --> 0:09:16.920 You want to get into that rhythm. 0:09:17.000 --> 0:09:18.720 When you say that, what do you mean a chain 0:09:18.840 --> 0:09:19.920 progression offense? 0:09:20.000 --> 0:09:21.840 You're going to take what they give you early on. 0:09:21.880 --> 0:09:25.080 You're trying to get in. Second down is huge for 0:09:25.160 --> 0:09:28.040 this offense. The way this offense is put together. Second 0:09:28.080 --> 0:09:30.760 downs are huge because what you can do with second 0:09:30.800 --> 0:09:34.840 downs as as a defense. If I have an offense 0:09:34.880 --> 0:09:38.080 in second and seven plus, the advantage goes to me 0:09:39.000 --> 0:09:41.960 because all of a sudden, now I can do things 0:09:42.040 --> 0:09:45.120 that I wouldn't do on first down or on second 0:09:45.320 --> 0:09:49.120 five or less. I just it limits you. Just like 0:09:49.200 --> 0:09:53.080 if you then if you put a defense in second 0:09:53.080 --> 0:09:56.440 and four, second three, second two, now they're in a 0:09:56.480 --> 0:10:00.760 conflict situation because now still you've got second three, so 0:10:00.800 --> 0:10:03.240 you've got it down that you might could say waste 0:10:03.640 --> 0:10:05.880 to try to hit something big, but at the same 0:10:05.960 --> 0:10:09.800 time you still got to defend the box. So the 0:10:09.920 --> 0:10:13.480 chain progression is big. They had a chain progression offense 0:10:13.559 --> 0:10:16.320 going in the first half. The chain progression, you could 0:10:16.320 --> 0:10:20.040 see it because and then once defensive coordinators, which I 0:10:20.080 --> 0:10:23.120 have been one defensive coordinators, as you start to move 0:10:23.360 --> 0:10:28.319 down the field on them, you get impatient. You get impatient, 0:10:28.400 --> 0:10:30.520 and that's when you look for and feel for as 0:10:30.559 --> 0:10:33.959 an offensive play caller, the impatience of it. So all 0:10:33.960 --> 0:10:36.120 of a sudden, are they going to start borrowing from 0:10:36.120 --> 0:10:39.600 the back end to get the front solidified so that 0:10:39.679 --> 0:10:41.600 you can take one on one shots downfield. 0:10:41.640 --> 0:10:44.280 How do you describe a Robert solid defense? 0:10:44.640 --> 0:10:49.960 Well, it's all predicated on the front. It's the defensive front. 0:10:50.080 --> 0:10:53.480 This is a free flowing defense with the back end. 0:10:53.920 --> 0:10:57.040 They play off of a front, and so everywhere that 0:10:57.080 --> 0:10:59.320 he's been, when he was in San Francisco and then 0:10:59.679 --> 0:11:01.559 when he comes to the Jet, they build it off 0:11:01.559 --> 0:11:04.920 of a big front and let the linebackers free flow 0:11:05.000 --> 0:11:07.800 off of it. And also he would love to play 0:11:07.840 --> 0:11:11.200 the whole game, rushing for and covering with seven. He's 0:11:11.240 --> 0:11:13.280 a big four on three to three on two guy 0:11:13.600 --> 0:11:16.080 with coverage. So if you can force him to bring 0:11:16.160 --> 0:11:19.319 to borrow from the back end to bring somebody else down, 0:11:19.840 --> 0:11:23.959 now he's got something right now that he's really never had, 0:11:24.800 --> 0:11:28.040 even at San Francisco. He's got Sauce Gardner. So when 0:11:28.080 --> 0:11:30.440 you've got a guy that is is a true you 0:11:30.480 --> 0:11:33.680 know you hear lockdown corner a lot is a term 0:11:33.800 --> 0:11:37.320 thrown out, but there are very few of them. This 0:11:37.400 --> 0:11:40.560 guy is one. So now he can let him have 0:11:40.679 --> 0:11:44.400 whoever he deploys him on and then work some things 0:11:44.400 --> 0:11:47.199 with his other ten. That is really when you've I 0:11:47.240 --> 0:11:49.640 had one of those guys in my career at Es Williams, 0:11:49.679 --> 0:11:51.960 so I could I could just pretty much put the 0:11:52.000 --> 0:11:54.000 hat on an on the guy that I that we 0:11:54.080 --> 0:11:56.400 knew was going to be the most dangerous as a 0:11:56.480 --> 0:12:00.199 quarterback target and use the other ten. So that's what 0:12:00.240 --> 0:12:01.240 you're going to see out of him. 0:12:01.320 --> 0:12:04.720 I was listening to Serious XM NFL radio channel eighty 0:12:04.720 --> 0:12:08.080 eight this morning and Solomon Wilcotts was hosting, and I 0:12:08.120 --> 0:12:14.400 respect his opinion. He said this morning that he considers 0:12:14.880 --> 0:12:18.760 the Jets defense to be a top three defense in 0:12:18.800 --> 0:12:22.520 the NFL, even though they didn't have a good game 0:12:22.640 --> 0:12:26.319 Monday night in San Francisco. What do you say to that. 0:12:26.760 --> 0:12:30.240 I absolutely agree. I absolutely agree. The other thing. The 0:12:30.280 --> 0:12:32.160 other thing that he's got when you start looking, just 0:12:32.160 --> 0:12:34.839 start looking at his personnel across the board. He has 0:12:34.880 --> 0:12:37.280 got what he's got that guy in the back end 0:12:37.720 --> 0:12:39.920 that you can win on one with, and then Quinn 0:12:40.000 --> 0:12:44.280 Williams across the front. He plays him everywhere. Everywhere he's 0:12:44.360 --> 0:12:46.600 gonna find. They will get their game plan. They will 0:12:46.600 --> 0:12:49.560 find who they think is the soft spot of the 0:12:49.600 --> 0:12:53.000 offensive front, and that's where they're going to play Quinn Williams. 0:12:53.280 --> 0:12:55.280 And they can they move him. They move him there 0:12:55.559 --> 0:12:58.160 a lot like what we used to do here when 0:12:58.280 --> 0:13:03.040 Jim Wahburn would move Albert Haynsworth around. You know, Albert 0:13:03.080 --> 0:13:05.400 Haysworth is a defensive tackle, but a lot of times 0:13:05.400 --> 0:13:07.800 he would play out there on the end and do 0:13:07.880 --> 0:13:10.880 and work games with Kyle Van and bisch inside. This 0:13:10.920 --> 0:13:13.800 is what he will do. But they've got the personnel 0:13:14.160 --> 0:13:16.960 and plus they've got the history even with this group 0:13:17.280 --> 0:13:20.559 of being a top five defense. I agree with Solomon. 0:13:20.160 --> 0:13:24.320 Otp pregame topic number three for coach Mack. Did you 0:13:24.440 --> 0:13:28.720 notice anything different about Aaron Rodgers on Monday Night Football? 0:13:28.840 --> 0:13:31.840 He doesn't have the mobility that he's had in the past. 0:13:32.080 --> 0:13:34.120 When he first got into the league and he started 0:13:34.160 --> 0:13:37.680 being the gunslinger that he is, he could also run. 0:13:37.800 --> 0:13:41.040 He was an athlete clearing out forty years old coming 0:13:41.040 --> 0:13:44.320 off of an Achilles' injury. He's more stationary. He has 0:13:44.440 --> 0:13:47.800 still got the arm. He's got the arm, and even 0:13:47.800 --> 0:13:50.160 more so with the arm, he's got the knowledge. You're 0:13:50.200 --> 0:13:52.400 not going to give him things that he hasn't seen. 0:13:52.480 --> 0:13:55.560 He's seen most everything that you can give him. So 0:13:56.040 --> 0:13:58.640 when you play quarterbacks like this, you play quarterback like 0:13:58.720 --> 0:14:01.599 Peyton Manning, those kind of guys, you're not going to 0:14:01.760 --> 0:14:04.720 fool them. So you've got to be really, really conscious 0:14:04.760 --> 0:14:07.240 of your technique. You've got to be so technique sound 0:14:07.480 --> 0:14:10.120 against guys like this, and your your front and your 0:14:10.160 --> 0:14:14.040 back end have to be tied specifically together, because if 0:14:14.040 --> 0:14:16.719 you've got a young quarterback, you can do a lot 0:14:16.760 --> 0:14:19.800 of things bogie disguise, move around, jump around, and they'll 0:14:19.840 --> 0:14:23.640 bite on it. Veteran quarterbacks don't bite the cheese on 0:14:23.720 --> 0:14:27.280 this stuff. They just don't You have to play solid, 0:14:27.520 --> 0:14:30.280 solid fundamentals. You can get away with a little bit 0:14:30.360 --> 0:14:33.000 of a little bit of free balling when you've got 0:14:33.000 --> 0:14:35.360 a younger quarterback with a veteran no. 0:14:36.280 --> 0:14:37.960 Any other comments on that topic. 0:14:38.240 --> 0:14:41.200 Well, so the strategy has to be to force him 0:14:41.240 --> 0:14:43.760 to move around then, right, if he doesn't have the 0:14:43.800 --> 0:14:44.960 mobility piece. 0:14:44.720 --> 0:14:49.360 Anymore, well, that just comes with getting pressure, and it 0:14:49.400 --> 0:14:52.000 comes first of all, and it's it's a legitimate question, 0:14:52.440 --> 0:14:55.560 but against against a quarterback like that that has got 0:14:55.680 --> 0:15:01.800 limited mobility to start with inside pressure, inside pressure, because really, 0:15:02.000 --> 0:15:07.120 edge pressure doesn't bother veteran quarterbacks because they can manipulate 0:15:07.160 --> 0:15:09.440 a pocket and move up in it, even though even 0:15:09.480 --> 0:15:12.200 if even if they're even if they're vertical and their 0:15:12.200 --> 0:15:15.960 horizontal agility is limited, and it was in their younger years. 0:15:16.200 --> 0:15:20.440 But if you start affecting and I mean moving that 0:15:20.440 --> 0:15:23.240 that center guard triangle back in his lap, then there's 0:15:23.280 --> 0:15:27.520 nowhere to go. There's nowhere to go. Younger quarterbacks will exit, 0:15:27.960 --> 0:15:30.680 they'll exit out of the sides if you so you 0:15:30.760 --> 0:15:35.120 want to pressure older quarterbacks up the middle first, I 0:15:35.120 --> 0:15:37.640 mean we've seen that, we've seen that with the Titans, defense. 0:15:38.040 --> 0:15:40.520 When we've played Tom Brady before, we've done it. You know, 0:15:40.680 --> 0:15:43.440 right out here playing Tom, you've forced the middle of 0:15:43.480 --> 0:15:46.120 the pocket. It gives them no chance to manipulate. 0:15:46.360 --> 0:15:49.760 And the Titans have a clubber Lang type Russian there 0:15:49.800 --> 0:15:52.200 with to Andre Sweat and Jeffrey Simmons. 0:15:52.280 --> 0:15:54.080 I like that clubber lane type. 0:15:54.200 --> 0:15:55.160 They got a lot of more. 0:15:55.440 --> 0:15:56.960 They got a lot of club Lang. 0:15:57.000 --> 0:16:00.680 Would say they got a lot of mo that, but 0:16:00.800 --> 0:16:03.800 they do, and just keep bringing it. It's Clipper Lang straight. 0:16:03.520 --> 0:16:06.960 Ahead and with and with the way to and Andre Sweat, 0:16:07.480 --> 0:16:10.000 you know, in his first debut. I mean, he's a 0:16:10.040 --> 0:16:12.080 guy that when they get into the meetings on Wednesday, 0:16:12.360 --> 0:16:16.360 when you start putting up the roster with your meetings 0:16:16.400 --> 0:16:18.440 in the offensive meeting rooms, they will have that red 0:16:18.720 --> 0:16:21.840 laser dot on this guy we have to handle. We 0:16:21.920 --> 0:16:24.280 knew we had to handle Jeffrey Simmons, but this guy, 0:16:24.840 --> 0:16:26.560 this guy we've got to handle. 0:16:27.160 --> 0:16:31.320 Hey, Titans fans, celebrate each Titans when and enjoy the 0:16:31.440 --> 0:16:34.560 sweet taste of victory with a free donut at Kroger 0:16:34.840 --> 0:16:38.240 the very next day.

It's why we're so committed to caring for 0:17:00.640 --> 0:17:03.400 the places and spaces in which we work and live. 0:17:04.000 --> 0:17:08.800 Ashley the official furniture provider of the Tennessee Titans. The 0:17:08.840 --> 0:17:14.000 OTP pregame continues. Dave McGinnis is in the Snickers hot 0:17:14.040 --> 0:17:19.760 seat Coach mac. Topic number four, what must the Titans 0:17:19.880 --> 0:17:24.000 offensive line do significantly better against the Jets? 0:17:24.119 --> 0:17:27.840 Past protection? Their past protection must be better. This this 0:17:28.240 --> 0:17:31.400 defensive front is going to bring heat. And we talked 0:17:31.400 --> 0:17:34.240 earlier about what is the strength of this It's the front. 0:17:34.480 --> 0:17:37.520 It's the front. So you just need to be more 0:17:37.720 --> 0:17:40.760 technique sound because you know what's going They gave us 0:17:40.760 --> 0:17:43.359 some pressures in the first ball game and so that's 0:17:43.400 --> 0:17:46.040 what the Jets defense is looking at right now. So 0:17:46.520 --> 0:17:50.600 technique with your protection is from from tackle to tackle 0:17:50.680 --> 0:17:53.000 all the way through, has got to be better. 0:17:53.160 --> 0:17:57.640 What do you think this week is like for JC Latham? 0:17:58.280 --> 0:18:03.199 A huge learning week. Learning week I mean his The 0:18:03.280 --> 0:18:06.240 advantage that he has is he has Bill Callahan as 0:18:06.280 --> 0:18:10.440 a mentor. I mean this this thing their last game 0:18:10.480 --> 0:18:13.679 will be gone over frame by frame as far as 0:18:13.720 --> 0:18:17.719 the protection because and what happens to younger players. And 0:18:17.800 --> 0:18:20.480 I haven't talked to JC Latham. We haven't talked to him, 0:18:20.520 --> 0:18:24.159 but just in my experience, that first game they get 0:18:24.240 --> 0:18:26.480 into a lot of times if it starts getting a 0:18:26.480 --> 0:18:29.840 little bit hot, they start reverting back to what they 0:18:29.880 --> 0:18:33.439 haven't worked on. So that will be reinforced. It's a 0:18:33.560 --> 0:18:36.520 huge I know how conscientious he is. I think we 0:18:36.560 --> 0:18:39.840 all do. The thing that to his advantage is is 0:18:39.880 --> 0:18:42.640 he's got Bill Callahan in that room to frame by 0:18:42.680 --> 0:18:45.640 frame it with him. So I mean he's looking to improve, 0:18:46.440 --> 0:18:46.840 all right. 0:18:47.040 --> 0:18:50.280 Topic number five for Coach mac on the OTP pregame, 0:18:50.800 --> 0:18:54.119 what part of the New York Jets offense is not 0:18:54.480 --> 0:18:55.960 discussed enough? 0:18:56.040 --> 0:19:00.720 Brice Hall. Brece Hall. Breece Hall is a really good back. 0:19:00.760 --> 0:19:04.679 Now the forty nine ers bottled him up. Surprised me. 0:19:05.160 --> 0:19:08.280 Breece Hall. And their run game is they've went out 0:19:08.320 --> 0:19:11.280 and got some veteran offensive linemen, but the run game, 0:19:11.400 --> 0:19:14.120 and especially with the way that the quarterback is now 0:19:14.880 --> 0:19:17.960 Brece Hall. Don't sleep on Breese Hall. Don't think it's 0:19:18.000 --> 0:19:20.800 just an Aaron Rodgers. Air it out, you know, and 0:19:20.840 --> 0:19:24.400 throw it to Garrett Wilson and and spin this thing 0:19:24.400 --> 0:19:26.920 all over the field. They've got to stop the run. 0:19:27.119 --> 0:19:29.920 They did a good job last week of stopping the run. 0:19:30.160 --> 0:19:32.840 They've got to do a better job this week defensively 0:19:33.080 --> 0:19:35.760 of stopping the run. Breece Hall is a is a 0:19:35.920 --> 0:19:37.919 legitimate elite back in this league. 0:19:38.520 --> 0:19:40.080 Nice, I thought you were. 0:19:40.440 --> 0:19:42.680 I thought you were going to say, Garrett Wilson, Well, 0:19:42.720 --> 0:19:45.359 Garrett Wilson is a You're looking at Garrett Wilson. You 0:19:45.400 --> 0:19:48.119 think about the quarterback, but people always think about the 0:19:48.200 --> 0:19:50.280 quarterback and Garrett Wilson Breese Hall. 0:19:50.560 --> 0:19:56.280 So Garrett Wilson though, No, Look, I'm not arguing with you. 0:19:56.280 --> 0:19:58.200 I'm just going to make it. I'm going to make 0:19:58.240 --> 0:20:00.480 a different point. Get sensitive. 0:20:01.040 --> 0:20:03.679 You can tell. You can tell I'm a sense of 0:20:03.720 --> 0:20:04.320 human You. 0:20:04.320 --> 0:20:07.520 Really are very sensitive. We'll have to stop the tape 0:20:07.520 --> 0:20:11.480 and just have a little moment anyway. Garrett Wilson caught 0:20:11.520 --> 0:20:14.480 four passes in the first quarter for forty six yards 0:20:14.480 --> 0:20:19.439 against San Francisco. Uh Bill Belichick was on the Manning cast, 0:20:19.800 --> 0:20:23.360 and by the way, he was really good, and I'm 0:20:23.400 --> 0:20:26.200 not surprised at all. He's really really good on all 0:20:26.200 --> 0:20:28.960 the media stuff he's doing. But he made the point 0:20:28.960 --> 0:20:31.240 which I thought was interesting and quite a compliment toward 0:20:31.280 --> 0:20:34.520 Garrett Wilson. He goes, oh, I'd be doubling him. 0:20:34.560 --> 0:20:38.920 Well, you know why, why If he singled, that's where 0:20:38.960 --> 0:20:41.440 Aaron Rodgers is going, even though he brought Allan Lazard 0:20:41.520 --> 0:20:44.639 with him from Green Bay. If he's singled for the 0:20:44.680 --> 0:20:46.480 majority of the time, that's where he's going. 0:20:47.080 --> 0:20:50.080 So you double him just in order to say you've 0:20:50.080 --> 0:20:51.439 got to go do something else. 0:20:51.680 --> 0:20:54.560 You either you either do that, And I'm not running 0:20:54.560 --> 0:20:55.719 to Ard Wilson's defense. 0:20:55.800 --> 0:20:56.200 That's okay. 0:20:56.240 --> 0:20:57.960 I know when we had when we had a guy 0:20:58.160 --> 0:21:00.960 like that, we would either we would either double. But 0:21:01.040 --> 0:21:02.840 you double him in different ways. You can up and 0:21:02.880 --> 0:21:05.520 back him, you can in and out him. You can 0:21:05.560 --> 0:21:07.800 do it. We call bump slice him where you start 0:21:07.840 --> 0:21:11.040
