1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,360
Speaker 1: No, I'd say there's not anything he cannot do. Um,

2
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:05,760
Speaker 1: you know, and and part of it is he's been

3
00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:08,200
Speaker 1: around all season long since the day we put the

4
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:10,799
Speaker 1: offense in. Uh. We always try to tailor to the

5
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:12,959
Speaker 1: strength of our players, so that may be something if

6
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:15,120
Speaker 1: it were if we made that decision. I think that's

7
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:17,639
Speaker 1: a late pivot we could get to if we needed

8
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 1: to say, you know, this is we have this in

9
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:21,760
Speaker 1: the plan. We like it versus defense, but you know,

10
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:24,079
Speaker 1: based on c J vers Trevor, whatever that may be,

11
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:26,439
Speaker 1: maybe it's let's stay away from that unless we needed

12
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 1: or we kind of do that all the time every week,

13
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:30,319
Speaker 1: depending on who guys are and where they are and

14
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 1: how we see things express themselves during practice and always

15
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 1: has some ability. But does he completely recovered from that

16
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 1: growing situation As far as I know, yes, he is.

17
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:41,559
Speaker 1: He has not shown any any effects from that at all. Sir. Yes, Well,

18
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 1: what a quarterback has taken mostly from mental reps. How

19
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 1: does that really kind of change your preparation with him

20
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 1: during a week? Yeah, there, Well, you want to be

21
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:50,839
Speaker 1: conscious of anything new, so it's maybe you know, with

22
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 1: Trevor's obviously day to day if he makes this thing late.

23
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 1: Maybe there's something that was specific this week that we

24
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 1: need to make sure we get on a Saturday afternoon potentially,

25
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: of we need you to feel with this throw feels

26
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: like in the timing of it because it is unique,

27
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 1: or it's something Hey, we got enough players, we don't

28
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 1: need it in that section. Um, you're conscious of that.

29
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,560
Speaker 1: You're conscious of that going into the week though, you know, hey,

30
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 1: we understand there's times when we travel to London. We

31
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,759
Speaker 1: know that our Friday red zone day as a travel

32
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 1: day gets little. We try to be conscious of the

33
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 1: install we have that week of knowing, you know, we're

34
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 1: not getting the time on task that we normally do.

35
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 1: Let's be conscious of new ideas things like that. So

36
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,480
Speaker 1: kind of the same thing here. It's maybe, uh, if

37
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 1: there's a receiver, quarterback, whatever it may be, tight end

38
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 1: that's not going to participate in practice full speed, then

39
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 1: we're conscious of putting new things in the plan for

40
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 1: those guys. Know when we may not be able to

41
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 1: get it with the guy that's in there in the game,

42
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 1: so we do everything we can to avoid those situations.

43
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: And then Trevor coming back last week leading that drivet

44
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 1: for a touchdown a second half did that gave you say,

45
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 1: thinking maybe about his element of tough and that's that

46
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 1: you guys maybe have to see before. Yeah, from my

47
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 1: experience here with with Trevor, there's never been a question

48
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 1: of his toughness and his availability for the team. I

49
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 1: don't think uh. I think everybody feels very confident that

50
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 1: Trevor is gonna play if Trevor has the ability to UH.

51
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 1: And there's times so our decision to protect players from themselves,

52
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 1: you know, the same thing with with Travis. There was

53
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 1: a possibility of Travis playing who was that against uh

54
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 1: Baltimore playing against Baltimore, and we decided to, you know,

55
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 1: pull the plug on that just to protect him himself.

56
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 1: A lot of these guys are willing to play through

57
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: a lot of things, but we needed to do it's

58
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 1: best for the player as well as it was best

59
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: for our team. So we'll continue to make those decisions.

60
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: Drops were a bit of an issue last week. Are

61
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: you confident that was like a one off kind of deal. Yeah,

62
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,639
Speaker 1: based on the way guys have played and the situations

63
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 1: they've been and we're confident that that is a one

64
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 1: off feel like you said, Um, obviously we just have

65
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: to have great fundamentals. We gotta be able to get

66
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 1: two hands on the football. When we get hands on

67
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,079
Speaker 1: the football, we get Bill to pull it in. Um.

68
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: But that's just continue to emphasize our technique, our attention

69
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 1: to detail throughout the week, the leading into Sunday. When

70
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 1: you have your quarterback kind of gutting it out through

71
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,640
Speaker 1: an injury last week and maybe even this week, if

72
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: he ends up playing on Sunday, what kind of message

73
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 1: can that's them to the rest of the team. Yeah.

74
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 1: I mean again, I don't think there's any question of

75
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,359
Speaker 1: Trevor's toughness, but I think it does show your guys

76
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: of this guy is doing everything possible to get there

77
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: and to make himself available on Sunday if that needs

78
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 1: to be Um, you know, these guys live in the

79
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: training room, and it's not just Trevor, it's a lot

80
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,079
Speaker 1: of our guys. At this point in the season. Everybody's

81
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 1: got bumps and bruises. There's everybody dealing with something, pushing

82
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: through something. So uh, I think teammates, I think coaches

83
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 1: see other guys and their willingness to to put themselves

84
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 1: in position to battle back from some sort of bump bruise, injury,

85
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: whatever it may be, to make themselves available. So there's

86
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 1: a lot of guys on this team that are doing

87
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:27,119
Speaker 1: that too. Howell is the Titans defense, and then specifically

88
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Simmons. You know how much of a threat does

89
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: he pose? Albums? Yeah, they're they're really solid defense. I

90
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 1: think their numbers would say the same thing. Um, they

91
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 1: got I feel like a lot of play a lot

92
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 1: of teams. They got good players at every single level,

93
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: you know, whether that's Simmons, Nico Autry, Bud dupri back

94
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 1: into David Long back into Kevin Buyer. They got a

95
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: lot of players that have played a lot of football

96
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 1: in this system. Um, They've had some injuries and they

97
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 1: just keep plugging guys in. It seems like the system

98
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 1: done change. They executed a high level. They're really really

99
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: good in situations, the very smart team. You know, being

100
00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: in the division last year, I took an appreciation to

101
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: just the way they every single situation, just the awareness

102
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,839
Speaker 1: all their players have of what's going on. Um. So yeah,

103
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 1: they they definitely make the game very challenging for you.

104
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 1: What's it gonna take to get Travisy team back on

105
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: track and feel like he exploded for a little while there,

106
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: but the past few weeks have been kind of quieted. Damn. Yeah.

107
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,720
Speaker 1: We we've certainly played some good defenses that that's been

108
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: an effort of them to to stop our our run

109
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 1: game and to get Travis from getting started. Um and

110
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 1: so you know, obviously situations within games dictate that as well,

111
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:28,280
Speaker 1: you're down big in the second half of that game,

112
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 1: you're not gonna run the ball as often, uh at Detroit.

113
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 1: So it's managing the game, the situation, all that type

114
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: of thing, but continuing to just find ways to get

115
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: them touches. Sometimes it may be in the past game,

116
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 1: you know, getting him on the perimeter away from the interior,

117
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 1: to get him some room in space, try to try

118
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 1: to get him going that way. So it's a variety

119
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,039
Speaker 1: of different things to try to get him going that

120
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: space where he needs to really kind of develop his

121
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,280
Speaker 1: game so he can be more involved in the passing game. Um.

122
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:53,919
Speaker 1: You know, I think a lot of it has just

123
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 1: been in terms of the past game, the matchups were

124
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 1: looking for in certain situations. You know, there's there hasn't

125
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 1: been a huge need to feature the running back in

126
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: the past game with the things we've done. We feel

127
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 1: like we've been able to put Christian Evans a those

128
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 1: guys in situations to feature matchups. Now, if the best

129
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: matchup is Travis on a linebacker and we have ways

130
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 1: to get to that that we feel pretty good about

131
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,039
Speaker 1: what we're gonna get from the defense. And that's something

132
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:20,479
Speaker 1: will certainly emphasize. David just jump off he does. Yeah,

133
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,159
Speaker 1: He's a very instinctive player. You know, when he sees something,

134
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 1: he is going. So it's a big point of emphasis

135
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 1: for our guys. If he has a target, uh. In

136
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 1: the run game, if he's identified as as you know,

137
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 1: one of the points of attack guys that we've got

138
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:34,160
Speaker 1: to be able to get there quickly. If he's on

139
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 1: the back side of a run, you better run because

140
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 1: he's running. Uh. He does a good job. He's a

141
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:39,799
Speaker 1: productive player for them. He has been for a while,

142
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 1: and so he's certainly someone we're aware of. As Christian

143
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 1: Kirkben everything you expected, uh, yeah, and more. I would say,

144
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: you know, not having known Christian directly, but knowing a

145
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,160
Speaker 1: lot of people that coached him in college, played with him,

146
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,720
Speaker 1: whatever it may be, always had a high opinion of him,

147
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,479
Speaker 1: watched him from afar Um spoke with people that coached

148
00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:59,840
Speaker 1: him last year that we're sad to see him leave

149
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 1: Arizona UM, but yeah, he's just he's been a pro

150
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 1: through and through every single day, comes to work every

151
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 1: single day, done, complain, will do anything ass of him,

152
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 1: and has the ability to do a lot of different things.

153
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,360
Speaker 1: You know, we've mostly featured in slot, but he's done

154
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,479
Speaker 1: a good job and we've put him outside of doing things.
