1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,680 Speaker 1: Yet that Um, obviously, what's all that it is about 2 00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:06,840 Speaker 1: Jamie brad Berry. Now he's gonna be out on Sunday. 3 00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:09,560 Speaker 1: Right now, you only have one active quarterback on the roster. 4 00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:12,039 Speaker 1: Obviously I don't team before Sunday. But how much of 5 00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:13,840 Speaker 1: a challenge is it losing a guy like James who 6 00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:16,360 Speaker 1: has been especially important to your defense this year? Oh? 7 00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:19,200 Speaker 1: You know, you know the thing about this game, and 8 00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:20,960 Speaker 1: you get used to it over the years, you know, 9 00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:24,080 Speaker 1: you lose guys, whether it's injuries or other things. It's 10 00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:26,400 Speaker 1: definitely gonna be tough with James will be missed, um, 11 00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:28,960 Speaker 1: but you know he's in meetings in terms of you know, 12 00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:33,400 Speaker 1: over zoom and you know, staying active and staying um involved. 13 00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:35,519 Speaker 1: So it's gonna be tough. But we gotta adjust, you know, 14 00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:37,919 Speaker 1: because I know that there's the problem is that Cleveland 15 00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:40,199 Speaker 1: doesn't care, so we gotta you know, they gelt care 16 00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:42,600 Speaker 1: less and we gotta get ready to go. So you know, 17 00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:44,400 Speaker 1: like that's that's on us to figure it out. But 18 00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:47,159 Speaker 1: I know this the players a rally behind it. I know, um, 19 00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:49,920 Speaker 1: James will be UM pushing for us and sheering us on. 20 00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:53,000 Speaker 1: So it's a unique challenge. But Um, not unique. Let 21 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,560 Speaker 1: me stop. So it's not really unique, but um, it's 22 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:58,200 Speaker 1: a challenge and we're ready to go face it. We're 23 00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,840 Speaker 1: working towards. Obviously, have a couple you guys have obviously 24 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 1: have a couple of safeties and like Logan and Julian 25 00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:04,640 Speaker 1: who have experience at corner Like, does that make it 26 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:06,560 Speaker 1: a little easier to stomach when you have guys who 27 00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:10,399 Speaker 1: can play those Well, I don't know, but it helps 28 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,680 Speaker 1: to have flexibility, you know, and have versatility um on 29 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:19,120 Speaker 1: the back end. So that's definitely a bonus. All right, Patrick, 30 00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,759 Speaker 1: I don't mean to diminish the physicality of any other game, 31 00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:23,480 Speaker 1: but it seems like this one is really gonna be 32 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:27,039 Speaker 1: a kind of a buckle your trench drap game against 33 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:31,000 Speaker 1: against the Browns. Are you looking at this as you know, 34 00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:33,680 Speaker 1: you guys talk a lot about toughness and physicality. Is 35 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:35,680 Speaker 1: is this gonna be a good barometer for where you 36 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,960 Speaker 1: are in those terms? Oh? Absolutely? I mean you talk 37 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,920 Speaker 1: about their their offense, um again, that's what I'm dealing 38 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:45,039 Speaker 1: with directly, Uh, their offensive line. I mean these guys 39 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 1: are big, their physical um probably. I mean, again, not 40 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 1: trying to diminish the merits of the teams we've seen before, 41 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 1: but arguably one of the best of the lines we've 42 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 1: seen all year. Um, it's gonna be a challenge. The 43 00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 1: Titans are willing to block. The thing that stands out 44 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,000 Speaker 1: to me, you know, with Chad o'shade um wide receivers 45 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,960 Speaker 1: coach um pass game coordinator, I mean, these receivers are 46 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,560 Speaker 1: gonna block too. I mean that's always been the trademarket Chad. 47 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:08,160 Speaker 1: You know, we talked about being a people league, and 48 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,520 Speaker 1: you could see Chad's toughness showing up in those receivers 49 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:13,679 Speaker 1: in terms of them blocking. You know, you could you 50 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:15,959 Speaker 1: I like the idea when there's a point of attack 51 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,080 Speaker 1: wide receiver, but they all blocked. I mean they all 52 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 1: block eleven eighty, they're all blocking. So you know that's 53 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 1: one thing that stands out. And then from there you 54 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 1: get the quarterback getting them in the right checks. You know, 55 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,360 Speaker 1: you could see him really maturing as a as a UM, 56 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:30,840 Speaker 1: as a signal caller back there he's getting them in 57 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:32,840 Speaker 1: the right checks. I think I said it before. I 58 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 1: wonder if there was a stat for quarterbacks to get 59 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 1: him in the right call for the run game, because 60 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 1: that's pretty unique. Um. You know, like you know you 61 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,639 Speaker 1: saw paying Man and those guys Eli, those guys would 62 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:43,480 Speaker 1: get those guys in the right checks for the run. 63 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 1: And then last, not least, are the backs. I mean, 64 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,920 Speaker 1: you're talking about guys that don't go down on first contact, 65 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,519 Speaker 1: guys that played tough. I mean, chuck to me, I 66 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 1: would love to meet this guy post post game or something. 67 00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 1: Just the I love his demeanor, I love the way 68 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,359 Speaker 1: carries themselves as pretty is pretty impressive. Him as a 69 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 1: player hunts a dynamic player in the run in the 70 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,639 Speaker 1: past game, and you know they do a good job. 71 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 1: And it's definitely gonna be a barometer to see whether 72 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,960 Speaker 1: we could handle the physicality. And you know we're working 73 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:20,800 Speaker 1: towards that challenge today. Dellie, Hey, pat Uh following up 74 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 1: on what Following up on what Zack asked. I know 75 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:25,640 Speaker 1: you don't want to give away too much of your scheme, 76 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 1: but what are your thoughts generally on on pulling from 77 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,519 Speaker 1: a strength to cover up a weakness like moving a 78 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 1: safety to cornerback. Is that something you would do or 79 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 1: does that just open up another hole if say, hypothetically 80 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 1: you were to move logan from this body's playing really well, 81 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:46,839 Speaker 1: we'll see the thing about defense and again not there's 82 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 1: just think about like this, just if you think about 83 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 1: whether it's positionally or you think about what we're doing 84 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 1: on each play. There's so much field to cover, so 85 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 1: whatever coverage you call, you're pulling from a weakness to 86 00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 1: play for at you're trying to you're trying to guess, right, 87 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 1: Really you don't as you try to defend the field. 88 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 1: Really no different when you got when you have injuries 89 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 1: and you have to move around the pieces. Like you know, 90 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 1: again that's up to us as coaches. Um you know, 91 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 1: from the direction of our head coach, from the direction 92 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 1: of position coaches, what's gonna be the best fit for 93 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:17,800 Speaker 1: whether it's a certain play personnel situation. But I don't 94 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 1: really think of it like that, Ryan, like whether it's 95 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 1: drawn from a week, but like playing defensive football that 96 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 1: you're you're you're trying to head your bets on most 97 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 1: players anyways, because there's so much field to defend. We 98 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:32,280 Speaker 1: can't defend it all technically, all fifty three yards across. 99 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 1: But like you know, so that it's kind of the 100 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 1: same thing, and so that makes sense. I'm not trying 101 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:43,360 Speaker 1: to talk crazy. I mean That's that makes sense. That's sorry, Hey, 102 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 1: pat Uh, how much has have you you know, played 103 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,600 Speaker 1: right Logan Uh as a like a boundary corner or 104 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 1: even you know McKinney so far, I mean even just 105 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,840 Speaker 1: sucking even in practice and stuff. Obviously we didn't see 106 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,840 Speaker 1: him in the game. Yeah, I mean, have have you 107 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:00,599 Speaker 1: been willing to do it? I mean, is it something 108 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 1: that they're familiar with? Even Oh, I mean yeah, I 109 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 1: think I think they all pride themselves. You have to 110 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 1: ask them. But like from practice, Drone does a great job. 111 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 1: He's always thinking ahead on situations like what if this happened? 112 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:14,920 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, Conn we can kind of talked 113 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 1: about before. We have to think ahead like that, especially 114 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,159 Speaker 1: during this covid ere. You know, you don't you don't 115 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 1: know what's gonna happen. So all those guys have rotated 116 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 1: through corner safety, whatever it may be. And I think 117 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,040 Speaker 1: Jerome does a good job of thinking ahead from the 118 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 1: direction of our head coach. You know, sometimes I get 119 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,720 Speaker 1: caught up as the coordinator and the exs and the ohs, 120 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 1: and I forget like, Oh, I'm like, why is someone 121 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 1: so out there at corner? Oh? That's what we talked 122 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 1: about in the beginning of the year, we gotta be 123 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 1: thinking ahead so it's not surprised when it comes up. 124 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 1: And also about the speak of the COVID era. How 125 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 1: concerned were you when you heard Jason tests and positives 126 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 1: that you know could extend to you and possibly more 127 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 1: than the staff. Um. I have faith in our protocols 128 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:58,160 Speaker 1: and how we're keeping each other safe here, and you know, 129 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:00,360 Speaker 1: I mean the funny thing is once you when you're 130 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 1: in it right now with the football deal thankfully, unlike 131 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,920 Speaker 1: a lot of people unfortunately for them, like I'm kind 132 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 1: of in the normal mode, like we're being safe, like 133 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,360 Speaker 1: they they're asking us to phone the protocols and when 134 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,600 Speaker 1: we hear something, it's like, Okay, you think about it, 135 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 1: you hope everybody is safe, and then you move on 136 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:16,159 Speaker 1: to the next thing. And I was thinking about Readier, 137 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 1: you know, So the thing you're thinking about is you 138 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,920 Speaker 1: hope everybody is safe and their families are safe and everything. 139 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 1: But from there, I feel safe about the protocols and 140 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 1: what we're doing here with the giants at Leonard.

I know that 166 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,720 Speaker 1: you worked virtually yesterday, but I don't think like it 167 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 1: was kind of been a norm for what you guys 168 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 1: have been doing lately. So what changes with you, know, 169 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 1: Jason testing positive? I have to admit you guys are 170 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 1: really good now. I'm just telling you these questions are 171 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 1: above my pay grade. I will defer to Joe about 172 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 1: the anything with just I'm here doing my job and 173 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,960 Speaker 1: I've coaching football, so I hope everybody good question though. 174 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 1: That's the third time, but I'm sorry, Mad, that's all 175 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:15,440 Speaker 1: I'm underferred the Joel that one, all right? I want 176 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 1: to hear Patty, Hey, coach, how are you? What's up? 177 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:23,400 Speaker 1: I promise I won't ask you another um. I do 178 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 1: want to go back to something you said before about 179 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 1: the Cleveland Nick Chubb isn't fair to say, and this 180 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,440 Speaker 1: is no disrespect to the other running games that you face, 181 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 1: but they have a pretty powerful once you punch. Does 182 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 1: that kind of keep you up at night a little 183 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 1: bit figuring out how you're gonna slow that those guys down? Well, 184 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 1: you know, you guys gotten to know me a little bit. 185 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 1: There's a bunch of store that keeps me up at night. 186 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 1: But that run game, when you go on that tape 187 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 1: and you watch what happened between Baltimore and Cleveland on 188 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:53,319 Speaker 1: Monday night combined nine Russian touchdowns, that's gonna keep me 189 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:55,120 Speaker 1: up for two. I don't know how good my Christmas 190 00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:58,760 Speaker 1: is gonna be, you know, but um, like, honestly, yes, 191 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 1: I'll be. But it's not just that. It's also the quarterback, 192 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,120 Speaker 1: the receivers, you know Landry, I mean, they're the old line. 193 00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:06,480 Speaker 1: They got they got a lot of good players and 194 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:08,880 Speaker 1: then we didn't even talk about the tight ends as receivers. 195 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:12,040 Speaker 1: So but yes, Chub is a good player. They got 196 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,320 Speaker 1: a bunch of good players. The coaching staff, I mean 197 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:17,440 Speaker 1: I talked about I talked about Chad, but the head coach, 198 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,680 Speaker 1: slash o C. I mean, they do a great job. 199 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:21,839 Speaker 1: They do a great job, and you can see it 200 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,960 Speaker 1: really on the tape that their toughness shows up. They're 201 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,640 Speaker 1: they're um, they're well coached in terms of how everything 202 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,599 Speaker 1: is packaged, and they're really playing to their strength. So 203 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:32,920 Speaker 1: like to me, when you're thinking about offense, that's what 204 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,040 Speaker 1: makes it tough. You know, the run game marries with 205 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 1: the play action, the play action in the boot married 206 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 1: with the stretch. With the stretch run game, the third down, 207 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:41,439 Speaker 1: they're getting the ball to the guy they need to 208 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:43,880 Speaker 1: get the ball to. I mean, like so like to me, 209 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:45,760 Speaker 1: they're playing to their strengths. They're playing to the people 210 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 1: they have, and and then you know, obviously they can 211 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 1: hand the ball off and get whatever whatever. He's averaging 212 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,079 Speaker 1: five point to a carry. I mean, I mean, that's 213 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,199 Speaker 1: pretty nice. That's a pretty good um um thing to 214 00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 1: have right there for him.
