Coach Dave mcghettis surrounded by Snickers in the jar. 0:00:43.440 --> 0:00:45.080 I could not be more proud to be in the 0:00:45.080 --> 0:00:48.159 Snickers hot Seat. I mean, it's just I've accomplished a 0:00:48.200 --> 0:00:49.120 lot of things in my career. 0:00:49.479 --> 0:00:51.800 If you finished the show and you act good, you 0:00:51.840 --> 0:00:55.480 get a Snickers. Must take somebody who does well in class. 0:00:55.120 --> 0:00:56.160 If you you get one. 0:00:56.280 --> 0:00:58.720 If you behave you'll get a You'll get a Snickers. 0:00:58.840 --> 0:00:59.720 I'll try my best. 0:00:59.760 --> 0:01:01.240 That's right. We're glad to have you. 0:01:01.360 --> 0:01:02.720 I'm love to be here. 0:01:02.720 --> 0:01:05.080 And why are we having coach mack on Because it's 0:01:05.160 --> 0:01:09.319 time to get his expertise on what has happened so 0:01:09.520 --> 0:01:12.560 far in training camp. I have some burning questions for 0:01:12.640 --> 0:01:15.480 Coach mack. Oh great, do you have burning questions for 0:01:15.520 --> 0:01:16.040 coach Mack. 0:01:16.160 --> 0:01:18.880 I do, but I would like to hear yours first, 0:01:19.240 --> 0:01:20.240 back and forth. 0:01:20.120 --> 0:01:23.400 So you know, like a burning question that I have 0:01:24.200 --> 0:01:28.560 the right tackle situation. Nicholas Patifreer is suspended for the 0:01:28.600 --> 0:01:32.680 first six games. From everything I've seen, he's run third 0:01:32.680 --> 0:01:35.480 team the whole time because they know he's he's going 0:01:35.560 --> 0:01:38.039 to leave here the first week of September and not 0:01:38.120 --> 0:01:41.440 be back until mid October, until after the London trip, 0:01:41.640 --> 0:01:46.880 which is understandable. So they've had different people rotating at 0:01:46.880 --> 0:01:49.920 the spot. How quickly do they need to make a 0:01:50.000 --> 0:01:53.680 decision from a continuity standpoint, who's the right tackle? 0:01:54.320 --> 0:01:57.200 It's not It's not time yet. It's not time yet 0:01:57.240 --> 0:01:59.440 at all. The thing that he's done. And you remember 0:01:59.480 --> 0:02:06.680 when this came about about NPF, the debate was and 0:02:06.720 --> 0:02:08.760 we talked about it all the three of us talked 0:02:08.760 --> 0:02:11.120 about it. Do you make one move or do you 0:02:11.160 --> 0:02:13.840 make two? They decided to make one move. They want 0:02:13.880 --> 0:02:16.240 to keep that center guard triangle as solid and as 0:02:16.280 --> 0:02:20.639 together as they can. Find someone to step ahead of 0:02:20.680 --> 0:02:24.160 the others at the right tackle. But it's not time yet, 0:02:24.200 --> 0:02:26.440 I think, Mike, I think they will go come all 0:02:26.520 --> 0:02:29.000 the way through it amy. They will go all through 0:02:29.760 --> 0:02:33.280 training camp doing this because you've got some real test, 0:02:33.639 --> 0:02:36.720 You've got practice against the Vikings, You've got practice against 0:02:36.760 --> 0:02:39.680 New England. You've got a lot more call it practices 0:02:39.720 --> 0:02:41.720 that they're going to do out here, and then you've 0:02:41.760 --> 0:02:44.520 got the preseason games. And so I think they will 0:02:44.560 --> 0:02:47.040 go right up to the edge because here's the other 0:02:47.080 --> 0:02:49.359 thing that's different than the National Football League. Then it 0:02:49.480 --> 0:02:52.720 used to be you've got a week between games. Now 0:02:52.840 --> 0:02:56.160 another whole week between you know you're not going out 0:02:56.160 --> 0:02:58.799 to by you got to buy every seas is a bye. 0:02:58.840 --> 0:03:03.679 So I think they'll go completely through training camp. 0:03:03.680 --> 0:03:04.679 And all of those. 0:03:06.040 --> 0:03:09.560 Spots that I've talked about to evaluate those players, because 0:03:09.639 --> 0:03:11.799 there's no reason to be in a rush as long 0:03:11.800 --> 0:03:14.200 as you can keep the center guard triangle solid and 0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:15.680 the left tackle slot solid. 0:03:15.800 --> 0:03:17.920 Now, can we learn a little bit of ball real 0:03:18.040 --> 0:03:20.640 quick before we continue on, Because you talk about the 0:03:20.680 --> 0:03:23.080 center guard triangle, and you talk about it a lot 0:03:23.120 --> 0:03:26.120 on Titan's Radio, like that's something that we here discussed 0:03:26.200 --> 0:03:29.440 throughout games. Can you explain what that is and why 0:03:29.480 --> 0:03:30.400 it's so important. 0:03:30.720 --> 0:03:34.240 Those three work in tandem a lot together. Both edge 0:03:34.280 --> 0:03:36.960 players may work with their guards every now and then, 0:03:37.400 --> 0:03:39.360 but most of the times those guys on the edge 0:03:39.360 --> 0:03:42.840 are either by themselves or they're incorporated into a slide 0:03:42.840 --> 0:03:46.119 protection the center guard triangle. Those three guys, they are 0:03:46.160 --> 0:03:49.320 constantly working with each other. And the other thing that's 0:03:49.320 --> 0:03:52.760 happened even more recently in the National Football League, you 0:03:52.800 --> 0:03:56.600 are starting to see interior defensive lineman be the premier 0:03:56.680 --> 0:04:00.640 players on most teams defenses. We have one here right now, 0:04:00.960 --> 0:04:05.080 So it's extremely, extremely important. The way the rules are now, 0:04:05.280 --> 0:04:07.800 the best way you can get pressure. It used to 0:04:07.880 --> 0:04:10.360 be amy when you would take a seven step drop 0:04:10.600 --> 0:04:13.600 and basically be nine and a half to ten yards deep. 0:04:13.600 --> 0:04:16.320 When you dropped in a cylinder, the edge was the 0:04:16.320 --> 0:04:18.640 easiest way to get there if you had someone that 0:04:18.640 --> 0:04:21.839 could motorcycle, lean and skim an edge. Now, as quick 0:04:21.880 --> 0:04:25.440 as that ball's coming out, interior pressure in your face 0:04:25.839 --> 0:04:29.120 and not align the quarterbacks to escape up into the 0:04:29.120 --> 0:04:31.960 b gap on either side is a huge part of 0:04:32.040 --> 0:04:35.039 taking time in away from your quarterbacks. So your center 0:04:35.040 --> 0:04:37.080 guard triangle has to work together. 0:04:36.839 --> 0:04:37.160 All right. 0:04:37.200 --> 0:04:39.719 So I'm going to follow up for the purpose of 0:04:39.800 --> 0:04:43.039 context here. Peter Skeronsky was going to be my next 0:04:43.120 --> 0:04:45.800 question about why they have left him at left guard 0:04:45.880 --> 0:04:48.360 only you've answered that you said they're trying to firm 0:04:48.440 --> 0:04:53.880 up the center guard triangle. If, however, they become unclear 0:04:53.960 --> 0:04:57.320 or uncertain about where they are at right tackle and 0:04:57.360 --> 0:04:59.719 they were to decide they might need to try him 0:04:59.720 --> 0:05:02.560 out there, how much time would they need to give that. 0:05:03.440 --> 0:05:05.960 He'd needs some time because he's been a left tackle 0:05:06.120 --> 0:05:08.520 all of his career and people will say, you know, 0:05:08.600 --> 0:05:11.560 coach Mack is just moving about four guys over. Well, 0:05:11.560 --> 0:05:13.800 it's a big difference in footwork, it's a big difference 0:05:13.800 --> 0:05:16.119 in lead hand, it's a big difference in your power 0:05:16.160 --> 0:05:19.200 punch hand. There's a lot of difference between the left 0:05:19.200 --> 0:05:21.480 and the right tackle. Just as far as I mean, 0:05:21.480 --> 0:05:24.599 it's it's basically writing with your right hand or writing 0:05:24.640 --> 0:05:26.920 with your left hand. You can do it, but it 0:05:26.960 --> 0:05:28.680 would take it would take a little bit of time. 0:05:28.720 --> 0:05:32.919 Now if they have to do it. We're fortunate in 0:05:32.960 --> 0:05:35.760 the fact that this is a very technique sound football 0:05:35.760 --> 0:05:38.880 player for a young player, so it might take him 0:05:38.960 --> 0:05:42.640 less time than it would somebody that is struggling. But 0:05:44.680 --> 0:05:47.200 to me, I think they would rather keep that solid 0:05:47.520 --> 0:05:51.599 and have somebody be able to man that thing adequately 0:05:52.120 --> 0:05:53.520 until NPF can come back. 0:05:53.600 --> 0:05:55.960 Your feeling is they're going to fight that with everything 0:05:56.080 --> 0:05:59.039 they have because they have put him at left guard. 0:05:59.040 --> 0:06:01.200 They've left him at left guard and they feel like 0:06:01.279 --> 0:06:03.960 he has a chance to be a top level left guard. 0:06:04.040 --> 0:06:05.880 Yeah, and when you watch him at left guard, I mean, 0:06:05.920 --> 0:06:07.680 you can tell that that was a move for him 0:06:07.920 --> 0:06:10.599 from left tackle to left guard. But he has taken 0:06:10.640 --> 0:06:14.159 to it very very well. And the other thing too 0:06:14.360 --> 0:06:17.240 about you know, anytime you're around good guards in the league. 0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:20.040 We've had some great guards here with this franchise. I've 0:06:20.040 --> 0:06:23.039 been around good guards. You guys have seen them. They 0:06:23.160 --> 0:06:25.960 also right next to that center. They communicate a whole 0:06:25.960 --> 0:06:29.080 lot on protections. There's a lot that goes on. This guy, 0:06:29.240 --> 0:06:32.040 I think can be able to do that for quite 0:06:32.040 --> 0:06:32.680 a while there. 0:06:32.920 --> 0:06:35.680 As we're going through training camp. It's not just about 0:06:35.760 --> 0:06:39.760 solidifying that five up front, though, you also need to 0:06:39.800 --> 0:06:42.919 find a couple really good swing guys. How important is 0:06:42.920 --> 0:06:44.960 that going to be? Finding guys who can fill in 0:06:45.040 --> 0:06:49.760 at a multiple and multiple different spots throughout the course 0:06:49.800 --> 0:06:51.640 of the season in case somebody goes down. 0:06:51.839 --> 0:06:54.640 Legitimate, I mean, it's very legitimate. And now the league 0:06:54.680 --> 0:06:57.359 has alleviated some of that because you can dress the 0:06:57.360 --> 0:06:59.600 eighth one now and not be penlights. For it used 0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:01.560 to be, you know, you'd have to make a big 0:07:01.600 --> 0:07:04.280 decision between seven and eight as a head coach on 0:07:04.320 --> 0:07:07.400 your roster every week. Now they've allowed the eighth guy, 0:07:07.480 --> 0:07:11.560 which really really helps. But swing guys, I mean, we've 0:07:11.600 --> 0:07:14.480 experienced too much of that in the last two seasons. 0:07:14.680 --> 0:07:18.720 But that's critical because what happens is it's not so 0:07:18.840 --> 0:07:22.520 much in preparation, but it's when it happens during a game. 0:07:23.160 --> 0:07:25.720 You have to go in there immediately and be able 0:07:25.760 --> 0:07:27.960 to go to work and not miss a beat. So 0:07:28.280 --> 0:07:31.360 the swing guy is huge, and I think that, you know, 0:07:31.520 --> 0:07:35.080 just the rules Committee listen to a lot of offensive 0:07:35.120 --> 0:07:37.720 coaches and a lot of offensive line coaches and probably 0:07:37.760 --> 0:07:41.400 head coaches too, adding that eighth guy makes a big difference. 0:07:41.840 --> 0:07:45.120 All right, your question, now you're your hot topic. What's 0:07:45.160 --> 0:07:45.760 on your mind? 0:07:45.800 --> 0:07:45.960 Name? 0:07:46.160 --> 0:07:48.080 Well, there's a lot of things on my mind, but 0:07:48.160 --> 0:07:51.320 I want to start with Tim Kelly because as we've 0:07:51.360 --> 0:07:54.560 been going through training camp, we've been talking about some 0:07:54.600 --> 0:07:56.600 things on offense that were going to be a little 0:07:56.640 --> 0:07:59.600 bit different because Tim Kelly's taking on a bigger role 0:07:59.640 --> 0:08:02.560 as the fensive coordinator this year. What has stuck out 0:08:02.600 --> 0:08:06.600 to you, Coach Mack about the Tim Kelly offense pace? 0:08:07.440 --> 0:08:09.600 I mean the pace of it, and I think it's 0:08:09.640 --> 0:08:13.000 come from abbreviating things. I mean there are things now 0:08:13.080 --> 0:08:14.600 you can They're in and out of the huddle, you know, 0:08:14.720 --> 0:08:17.800 very very quickly. And again we get to watch practice 0:08:17.800 --> 0:08:19.760 every day, so there are things that we can't say 0:08:19.760 --> 0:08:22.800 that we see, but things that you can see and 0:08:22.800 --> 0:08:25.640 that they have in the open practices. You are going 0:08:25.640 --> 0:08:29.440 to see a multiplicity of personnel groups, I mean more 0:08:29.480 --> 0:08:32.560 than and you're going to see guys in different positions 0:08:32.960 --> 0:08:34.880 which you know. And I go to all the walkthroughs 0:08:34.920 --> 0:08:38.200 too like you guys do too, where you can hear 0:08:38.240 --> 0:08:40.640 them coaching, you can hear the corrections, but you can 0:08:40.679 --> 0:08:43.880 also get an idea of what they're trying to add on. 0:08:44.360 --> 0:08:47.400 Let me just say this about that they feel. I 0:08:47.440 --> 0:08:49.959 think they felt very good about the way this team 0:08:50.040 --> 0:08:53.560 was able to grasp the offensive, the newness of the 0:08:53.559 --> 0:08:59.000 offense in the OTAs because they've started to layer their installation. 0:08:59.320 --> 0:09:02.320 In other words, they're just the two call it periods 0:09:02.360 --> 0:09:05.320 that we had the thirty minute two call it periods 0:09:05.320 --> 0:09:08.839 of team period. They weren't just playing vanilla anything. There 0:09:08.840 --> 0:09:11.560 weren't vanilla on offense, and they sure weren't vanilla on 0:09:11.600 --> 0:09:14.440 defense because they were overload blitzing, they were boguing, they 0:09:14.480 --> 0:09:18.600 were I mean, so they're pretty their installation. Coaches feel 0:09:18.640 --> 0:09:20.880 like these guys are up to speed on it. But 0:09:20.920 --> 0:09:23.319 the thing that you notice just with the naked eye 0:09:23.679 --> 0:09:26.520 is the pace of it and then the as many 0:09:26.559 --> 0:09:30.120 personnel groups, you know, just not by down in distance 0:09:30.400 --> 0:09:33.160 but by scheme. And there's a lot of really good 0:09:33.240 --> 0:09:36.440 things that I'm watching that I like what they're doing. 0:09:36.640 --> 0:09:39.600 Coach Dave McGinnis is with us on the OTP, sitting 0:09:39.640 --> 0:09:43.120 in the Snickers hot seat. We invite you to open 0:09:43.679 --> 0:09:46.400 a Snickers but also open a Titan's checking account from 0:09:46.440 --> 0:09:49.640 Pinnacle with at least one hundred dollars in a reoccurring 0:09:49.840 --> 0:09:53.439 direct deposit by August the eighteenth, and you could get 0:09:53.480 --> 0:09:57.240 two tickets to five Titans home games. Details at Titansbanking 0:09:57.280 --> 0:10:01.000 dot com Titans Checking from Pinnacle play Hard Banking member 0:10:01.200 --> 0:10:05.080 fd I see along the lines of the offense, what 0:10:05.400 --> 0:10:12.200 have you seen DeAndre Hopkins' ad from a football standpoint? 0:10:12.360 --> 0:10:15.520 In terms of how he is affecting the offense. 0:10:15.960 --> 0:10:17.960 Is there another adjective other than everything? 0:10:18.200 --> 0:10:20.600 Okay, now it all so serious? 0:10:20.880 --> 0:10:23.800 He because look this guy and you think, you know, 0:10:23.840 --> 0:10:25.719 you say, well, coach Mick, I mean you know, you 0:10:25.800 --> 0:10:28.840 got that's just one guy. But what he has allowed 0:10:28.880 --> 0:10:31.520 them to be able to do, now you are able 0:10:31.559 --> 0:10:35.480 to now have complementary pieces do complimentary things. Ah, this 0:10:35.559 --> 0:10:38.720 is this is a dude, and he's a legitimate dude. 0:10:38.760 --> 0:10:41.520 And you can tell just with the with the setup 0:10:41.559 --> 0:10:43.600 that they are doing. And I'm not just talking about 0:10:43.640 --> 0:10:45.640 which side you line up on them. I'm talking about 0:10:45.679 --> 0:10:48.000 who lines up in the point on the three man 0:10:48.160 --> 0:10:50.480 the nine ball stack, who lines up at front on 0:10:50.559 --> 0:10:53.320 the stacks, who lines up into the boundary, who lines 0:10:53.400 --> 0:10:56.040 up to the field, who lines up with plus splits, 0:10:56.080 --> 0:10:59.080 who lines up with minus splits, and the other thing 0:10:59.120 --> 0:11:01.760 that he can do all of that right, well, yes, 0:11:01.800 --> 0:11:04.520 but see here's the thing about him. He can do 0:11:04.600 --> 0:11:07.600 all of that, but other people now can concentrate on 0:11:07.640 --> 0:11:10.680 the complimentary piece to what he's doing. The other thing 0:11:10.920 --> 0:11:13.640 that I've noticed, and again I gotta be careful with 0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:16.439 what I say, because you know, why is that with 0:11:16.840 --> 0:11:19.800 any of these hot red adjustments. You got a veteran 0:11:19.880 --> 0:11:23.160 quarterback and you got a veteran receiver. You already see 0:11:23.200 --> 0:11:26.800 that showing up out there, which is really really big 0:11:27.080 --> 0:11:30.240 because sometimes when you're able to get on that same page, 0:11:30.720 --> 0:11:33.520 a bad play can be a good play if you 0:11:33.520 --> 0:11:36.160 can make an adjustment. When I mean, it's the difference 0:11:36.240 --> 0:11:39.520 between driving in the parking lot and driving on the freeway. 0:11:39.840 --> 0:11:42.760 I mean, things are just moving fast, and if you've 0:11:42.800 --> 0:11:46.000 got somebody that understands how to operate in space when 0:11:46.040 --> 0:11:48.640 it's moving fast, it makes a big difference. 0:11:48.880 --> 0:11:52.079 So it's a circumstance where what is it? They say, 0:11:52.120 --> 0:11:54.319 I'm trying to make sure I don't botch the phrase, 0:11:54.360 --> 0:11:57.000 but rising tides raise all ships? 0:11:57.080 --> 0:12:00.000 Is that lift all boats, lift all boats? Or whatever? 0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:04.079 Or they say, basically, the caliber that he's playing at 0:12:04.360 --> 0:12:09.199 makes everybody able to raise their caliber of play. That's 0:12:09.280 --> 0:12:11.400 exactly right, because you have to account for him. 0:12:11.600 --> 0:12:14.720 It's exactly And also, I think what you're saying too, 0:12:14.760 --> 0:12:18.000 and correct me if I'm wrong, is he and his 0:12:18.160 --> 0:12:22.600 skill set allows other people to focus on what they 0:12:22.640 --> 0:12:23.400 do better one. 0:12:23.320 --> 0:12:27.240 Hundred percent, Mike, one hundred percent right there, because that 0:12:27.320 --> 0:12:30.560 is that's big. Instead of now making people have to 0:12:30.600 --> 0:12:32.920 do a whole lot of different things. You know that 0:12:32.960 --> 0:12:35.720 he can do different things, and so people can concentrate 0:12:35.800 --> 0:12:37.480 on just some things. 0:12:37.320 --> 0:12:40.720 And trailing Burkes is just concentrating on doing what he does, 0:12:40.760 --> 0:12:43.040 which is looks pretty special. 0:12:43.200 --> 0:12:46.160 He's a completely different person. I mean, you know, last 0:12:46.200 --> 0:12:48.680 year was a rough time for him. Let's just be honest. 0:12:49.000 --> 0:12:50.520 He came in here. First of all, he was not 0:12:50.559 --> 0:12:52.920 in condition. And very few of these guys come in 0:12:52.960 --> 0:12:56.160 from collegiate football in NFL condition. They you know, they don't, 0:12:56.200 --> 0:12:58.320 you know, their second year, they've got NFL bodies if 0:12:58.360 --> 0:13:01.200 they work on it. You know, collegiate body might be good, 0:13:01.440 --> 0:13:05.480 but it's not NFL. It's not professional. And then, I 0:13:05.520 --> 0:13:07.840 mean he was not in condition. And then he had 0:13:07.880 --> 0:13:10.640 the asthmatic problem, and you know that was I mean, 0:13:10.720 --> 0:13:12.959 people really jumped on that like they had him in 0:13:13.000 --> 0:13:18.240 an iron lung just about and it wasn't that drastic. 0:13:18.559 --> 0:13:23.160 But what he did he went to the people that 0:13:23.200 --> 0:13:29.120 could help him. The head coach Frank Perino, what Rob Moore, 0:13:29.400 --> 0:13:33.320 what do I need to do? He stayed here and 0:13:33.360 --> 0:13:36.400 work consistently. He's a different player. He's a different dude. 0:13:36.679 --> 0:13:39.600 And then you bring you bring d hop in here. 0:13:40.480 --> 0:13:42.840 I mean they're at the hip now. You can see 0:13:42.880 --> 0:13:45.839 him at the hip, and that's that's invaluable. All the 0:13:45.920 --> 0:13:48.319 years that I've coached Mike, I've seen really really good 0:13:48.360 --> 0:13:51.240 players take a young player under their wing and elevate 0:13:51.280 --> 0:13:54.320 their game quicker than they would elevate just being by themselves. 0:13:54.559 --> 0:13:57.199 We're talking about all of these different pieces and all 0:13:57.240 --> 0:13:59.160 of these different things that are going so well for 0:13:59.200 --> 0:14:03.080 those Titans off. If you're Ryan Tannehill, you've got to 0:14:03.080 --> 0:14:05.559 be licking your lips a little bit getting ready for 0:14:05.679 --> 0:14:09.640 this season and what's coming along, because all of the sudden, 0:14:10.120 --> 0:14:12.959 he's got a world of options open to him, whether 0:14:13.000 --> 0:14:16.800 it's schematically or because of personnel that he hasn't had 0:14:16.880 --> 0:14:18.040 in the last couple of years. 0:14:18.240 --> 0:14:19.960 Well, when you really look at it, and I mean 0:14:19.960 --> 0:14:22.840 we're looking at it objectively, I mean, you know, nobody's here. 0:14:22.960 --> 0:14:25.880 You know we has got any pom poms about this. 0:14:26.000 --> 0:14:29.480 We tell the truth here. He's got playmakers at every position. 0:14:29.600 --> 0:14:33.640 Now now he's got legitimate playmakers at every position. And 0:14:34.520 --> 0:14:36.640 I'm sure, because you guys are deep into it, we'll 0:14:36.680 --> 0:14:39.000 touch on you know what we've added there in the 0:14:39.040 --> 0:14:41.320 backfield too, But that makes a difference. But all of 0:14:41.320 --> 0:14:44.400 a sudden, now he's not just limited to basically, you know, 0:14:45.000 --> 0:14:47.480 you know, looking through a straw at what's going on. 0:14:47.720 --> 0:14:50.200 Now he's got a big picture of he's got a 0:14:50.240 --> 0:14:51.880 lot of people, a lot of places that can make 0:14:51.920 --> 0:14:52.800 plays well. 0:14:52.880 --> 0:14:56.240 And you talked about Burks and you talk about Tannehill. 0:14:56.280 --> 0:14:59.320 I mean, both of those players were directly impacted by 0:14:59.320 --> 0:15:02.160 the loss of age. I mean, there's no doubt about it. 0:15:02.920 --> 0:15:06.160 And the thing that Ryan had with Aj is he'd 0:15:06.200 --> 0:15:08.920 throw it up and give him a chance. And you've 0:15:08.960 --> 0:15:11.640 got to have confidence in the guy to do that, 0:15:12.160 --> 0:15:14.040 and it didn't look like they had as much of 0:15:14.080 --> 0:15:14.840 that last year. 0:15:14.920 --> 0:15:16.840 Well, and here's the other thing too, And we talked 0:15:16.840 --> 0:15:19.640 about this before. You know, even when the thought of 0:15:20.280 --> 0:15:24.000 d Hop being here was his game, his entire career 0:15:24.480 --> 0:15:27.440 has been. Even if he's covered, throw it to him, right, 0:15:27.520 --> 0:15:29.800 because you guys have both watched him now, we've washed 0:15:29.840 --> 0:15:31.800 him up close and we've watched him on tape and 0:15:31.840 --> 0:15:34.320 you can I mean, the guy's got you know, he's 0:15:34.320 --> 0:15:37.680 got bear traps on his wrist. I mean, it's amazing 0:15:38.040 --> 0:15:39.960 how big his hands are. But the other thing is 0:15:40.240 --> 0:15:43.320 he can be covered and you could have your hand 0:15:43.360 --> 0:15:46.200 as a defender in the basket, which in the basket 0:15:46.280 --> 0:15:49.200 is when the receiver's here, right, this is the basket, 0:15:49.400 --> 0:15:52.200 and he can still catch your hand and catch the 0:15:52.240 --> 0:15:55.000 ball with it, so he doesn't have to be wide 0:15:55.040 --> 0:15:57.320 open all the time to throw it to him. You 0:15:57.360 --> 0:15:59.400 could throw it to him when he's closely covered, because 0:15:59.400 --> 0:16:02.560 he's gonna win most of those matchups. And he's always 0:16:02.600 --> 0:16:07.800 been deceptively like just wire cable strong. He's not real thick, 0:16:08.240 --> 0:16:10.920 but he's he's kind of like CJ. Two K was 0:16:11.040 --> 0:16:13.520 like that, Right, you remember how I mean CJ two 0:16:13.600 --> 0:16:15.760 K was wire rope. I mean he really was and 0:16:15.920 --> 0:16:18.560 had a lot of tensil strength to him. So does 0:16:18.600 --> 0:16:21.240 this guy. And plus, this guy's got an attitude. He 0:16:21.360 --> 0:16:23.880 always has had one, and he stills got it. 0:16:24.000 --> 0:16:24.920 Well, you talk. 0:16:24.760 --> 0:16:27.120 About the loss of Brown, but there had been other 0:16:27.280 --> 0:16:31.680 losses over the previous couple years. Well, now suddenly you 0:16:31.720 --> 0:16:34.040 have a tight end in a con Quote that you 0:16:34.160 --> 0:16:36.920 trust because he's in his second year. You have another 0:16:36.960 --> 0:16:40.560 receiver in Berks that you trust because he's in his 0:16:40.680 --> 0:16:43.880 second year. And you have d Hop and you potentially 0:16:43.920 --> 0:16:46.640 have Kyle Phillips in that in that place as well. 0:16:47.120 --> 0:16:48.360 So maybe you're sort of. 0:16:48.400 --> 0:16:53.520 Back to that nineteen twenty sort of field that Tannehill 0:16:53.640 --> 0:16:57.800 had where there was more confidence, more on the same page, 0:16:58.360 --> 0:17:00.200 not being worried about making a miss. 0:17:00.400 --> 0:17:03.480 Well, and a guy like Nick Westbrook a keine now 0:17:03.520 --> 0:17:05.439 doesn't have to be your top receiver. I mean he 0:17:05.440 --> 0:17:08.080 can fulfill the role that he needs to fulfill. And 0:17:08.119 --> 0:17:10.639 you've got a couple of young guys that can you know, 0:17:10.760 --> 0:17:12.480 that might be able to step in and help. And 0:17:13.080 --> 0:17:15.080 to me, that makes a huge difference. It makes a 0:17:15.160 --> 0:17:20.000 huge difference two ways in game planning and then in 0:17:20.680 --> 0:17:24.640 critical must have situations you've got other options rather than one. 0:17:24.800 --> 0:17:27.119 Right, all right, so you're up next to Amy. 0:17:27.119 --> 0:17:29.199 Can you guys believe we've made it this far and 0:17:29.280 --> 0:17:31.080 haven't said the name Derrick Henry yet? 0:17:31.400 --> 0:17:32.719 I think he said Derrick Henry. 0:17:32.800 --> 0:17:33.919 Did you say Derrick Henry? 0:17:34.000 --> 0:17:34.840 I said, running back. 0:17:35.200 --> 0:17:42.320 See that's not the same, No, I think just it's 0:17:42.359 --> 0:17:44.920 exciting to be talking about the offense and be talking 0:17:44.920 --> 0:17:48.119 about so many other pieces that aren't Derrick Henry. But 0:17:48.240 --> 0:17:51.199 I still feel like we should because he looks like 0:17:51.280 --> 0:17:54.520 it's more of the same here in your eight. And 0:17:54.560 --> 0:17:57.320 then there's the addition of guys like Taja Spears, who 0:17:57.680 --> 0:18:00.680 we're all so excited to you watching, you. 0:18:00.640 --> 0:18:03.320 Know, who's happy that we haven't talked about Derrick Henry 0:18:03.320 --> 0:18:06.480 as being just all we have on offense. Derrick Henry, Yes, 0:18:07.080 --> 0:18:10.000 because this this is gonna and and you're right, I 0:18:10.000 --> 0:18:13.159 mean he looks he's in he's in fabulous condition and 0:18:13.160 --> 0:18:16.600 and and he's got a mindset that now but you 0:18:16.640 --> 0:18:19.760 the things that he can do, he's he's different. I mean, 0:18:19.800 --> 0:18:22.560 we're really fortunate to be here during his career because 0:18:22.720 --> 0:18:26.360 he's different and and he's a big difference, and especially 0:18:26.359 --> 0:18:28.840 when he has help around him. And then you bring 0:18:28.880 --> 0:18:31.679 ty J Spears into it. I mean, this kid's got 0:18:31.720 --> 0:18:34.359 a little juju to him. He's got something to him 0:18:34.760 --> 0:18:37.320 and something that not I'm not talking about just going 0:18:37.359 --> 0:18:40.520 in for Derrick Henry. I'm talking about being a piece 0:18:40.560 --> 0:18:44.720 of this that Kelly can use in a several different spots. 0:18:44.840 --> 0:18:49.080 So that's that's got to be exciting too, because for 0:18:49.160 --> 0:18:52.520 Derrick Henry, because when he's the focal point and we've 0:18:52.560 --> 0:18:55.520 seen it, I mean he has he has played against 0:18:55.520 --> 0:18:58.000 more eight and eight and a half men boxes in 0:18:58.040 --> 0:19:00.639 the last three years than any run back in the 0:19:00.720 --> 0:19:06.280 league hands down. Now, he may not have to. 0:19:05.200 --> 0:19:08.320 Tell you what's going on at Duncan. It's always game 0:19:08.359 --> 0:19:11.560 on with Duncan. So grab a coffee and kick off 0:19:11.560 --> 0:19:14.600 the action, whether that's drinking a cup of coffee on 0:19:14.640 --> 0:19:16.720 your way to the game, or grabbing one to go 0:19:16.880 --> 0:19:19.800 before watching the game at home, or listening to the 0:19:19.840 --> 0:19:20.360 game at home. 0:19:20.720 --> 0:19:22.920 Duncan. They need to change that line, don't they. 0:19:23.160 --> 0:19:26.320 Duncan is always there to help you get your game on, 0:19:26.560 --> 0:19:28.760 just like the pros.

Got me in and 0:19:49.000 --> 0:19:51.040 out of their twelve donuts and a coffee in a 0:19:51.119 --> 0:19:52.280 like forty five seconds. 0:19:52.359 --> 0:19:54.320 So one it rose apart, the one it rose apart. 0:19:54.359 --> 0:19:55.640 We do a great job there. 0:19:55.800 --> 0:19:56.560 I'll tell you what. 0:19:56.680 --> 0:19:59.400 It was the most efficient thing I did all day. 0:20:00.200 --> 0:20:00.760 They were great. 0:20:00.880 --> 0:20:03.920
