Speaker 1: All right, guys, injuries, Elijah Mitchell be questionable, green Law
Speaker 1: questionable and that's it.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 3: Green Law was originally risk listed with a rest day
Speaker 3: and then then after that it was hamstring. So that
Speaker 3: was that something that just popped up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was during our walkthrough. Just did something and
Speaker 1: feel comfortable with it and now we're being safe and
Speaker 1: we'll see how it feels tomorrow.
Speaker 2: See one of the players that could play without really
Speaker 2: practicing in.
Speaker 1: A week just with his knowledge of Definitely, yeah, definitely.
Speaker 3: How's Elijah looked good?
Speaker 1: He had a full speed practice yesterday and was full
Speaker 1: go today, so he's had a good week.
Speaker 2: Talk about Miles Garrett against Trent Williams. How many times
Speaker 2: in your coaching career have kind of seen a one
Speaker 2: on one matchup between two Titans like that.
Speaker 1: I've seen him practice a lot with our guys, but
Speaker 1: it's rare. I mean, Tren's as good as it gets
Speaker 1: you play. There's a number of good guys in this league,
Speaker 1: especially over the years, but who he's got this week
Speaker 1: is right up there with anybody. So huge challenge for him.
Speaker 1: Same on the other side for Garrett, and it's real
Speaker 1: fun for football fans to watch.
Speaker 2: Randy Gregory's week of practice go In terms of getting
Speaker 2: ready to potentially play off.
Speaker 1: I was good. He fit in well, was able to
Speaker 1: get through three full practices learning picking up our scheme.
Speaker 1: I think some styles he's used in the past are
Speaker 1: very similar, so I think I'll pick it up fast
Speaker 1: and excited to see him here on Sunday.
Speaker 3: When you hired christcusherk and nineteen, you noted that you
Speaker 3: had had trouble going against that at defensive front earlier
Speaker 3: in your career.
Speaker 1: Going against that defense in practices the.
Speaker 2: Last more years, have you figured out ways you know
Speaker 2: what its weaknesses are and ways to get around a
Speaker 2: good wide nine.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think you and I think that's why
Speaker 1: we wanted to get it. I think you always kind
Speaker 1: of know the weaknesses of it and how to do it.
Speaker 1: It's really hard to do. That's why I've always liked
Speaker 1: it so much. Just going against Jim and Tennessee, and
Speaker 1: when I first started out in Houston was the first
Speaker 1: time appearentcing it. It was just different than everyone else
Speaker 1: and a couple of teams have done it over the years.
Speaker 1: But that's why our goal always was to get someone
Speaker 1: who knew how to coach that up front and Jim
Speaker 1: always being as good as anyone added and it's always
Speaker 1: tough to go against, but when you have great players
Speaker 1: like he does, it's even a lot tougher.
Speaker 2: The Browns, you guys, the Grounds and the Eagles that
Speaker 2: use it the most.
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, yeah, yeah. I haven't watched the Goos yet
Speaker 1: this year, but they've always been a part of that,
Speaker 1: you know, with Schworts being there for so long in
Speaker 1: their style.
Speaker 2: Back when you traded for Christian on Thursday night.
Speaker 1: Right, the Jets try to do it too. The Jets.
Speaker 2: Also back when you traded for Christian on that what
Speaker 2: Thursday night, Friday before the Kansas City game last year,
Speaker 2: did you realistically expect him to be ready for to
Speaker 2: play on that Sunday? And you know, second question on
Speaker 2: top of that, what was what are your memories of
Speaker 2: that whole process of cramming to get him ready to
Speaker 2: play for Sunday.
Speaker 1: It was John asked me on Thursday, if we get
Speaker 1: him in here, does he have a chance If we
Speaker 1: get him here and here Friday halfway through practice, does
Speaker 1: he have a chance to play? And I said absolutely not.
Speaker 1: That's way too. I don't want to expect that out anybody.
Speaker 1: And then I called him on the phone about like
Speaker 1: an hour later just to talk to him in the
Speaker 1: first time. And when I hung up, I said, we'd
Speaker 1: better get him a playbook because that dude's coming in
Speaker 1: here ready to play and he's adamant who he won't
Speaker 1: struggle at all. And then we saw him out of
Speaker 1: practice that Friday. We got to talk to him all Saturday,
Speaker 1: and it wasn't us cramming him, it was him doing it.
Speaker 1: And he knew enough to be able to get in there,
Speaker 1: and he said he would be fine. He made us
Speaker 1: feel that, and about twenty really after a phone conversation,
Speaker 1: and then that Sunday he didn't have one mistake.
Speaker 4: Over the past couple of weeks.
Speaker 1: Is there more to that? Was there another question?
Speaker 2: Over the past couple of.
Speaker 4: Weeks, Nick Bosa has been sharing past rushing techniques with
Speaker 4: Bread and then he did it with Randy Gregory yesterday
Speaker 4: or the day before. Is that happening organically and are
Speaker 4: you aware of it? And how does that speak to
Speaker 4: just the selflessness of this to you.
Speaker 1: I'm not aware of it. It has happened organically, but
Speaker 1: it doesn't surprise me. I mean bosas Uh definitely understands
Speaker 1: this craft and thinks about it a lot on what
Speaker 1: he does, and he's pretty good at it. So we
Speaker 1: got a lot of smart guys. So I'm sure guys
Speaker 1: asked himself a lot and as long as he's telling
Speaker 1: stuff to people on our team are all good with it.
Speaker 3: They're officially going with p J. Walker, with Watson rolled
Speaker 3: out soon. You have anticipated the last few days. What
Speaker 3: what does Walker present in terms.
Speaker 1: Of problems or I mean, I've always been a fan
Speaker 1: of his over the years. He's you know, he's got experience,
Speaker 1: He's a vet. He can hurt you with his lazy
Speaker 1: he can hurt you with his arm. I think what
Speaker 1: he's got, his opportunities in this leag He's done a
Speaker 1: good job. Having Steve be familiar with him in Carolina
Speaker 1: helps a lot. You know, I don't have to look
Speaker 1: too much into it. I know Steve's got a good
Speaker 1: feel and what his pluses and minuses are. And we've
Speaker 1: been preparing it all week like it could be.
Speaker 5: This too Cross paths with Sean Gibson in Cleveland the fourteen.
Speaker 5: But what have you learned about you know, since since
Speaker 5: he got here last year?
Speaker 1: I mean, I got to know him better since he's
Speaker 1: been here. I think that was his rookie year and
Speaker 1: I was only there one year, so I didn't know
Speaker 1: him that well personally. I just knew how good he
Speaker 1: was there. I mean, he was thought one of the
Speaker 1: better safeties in the league there right away. Really helped
Speaker 1: us that year. I think he had gone on and
Speaker 1: to do stuff, and I was always familiar with him
Speaker 1: being on that team, and he was tough when we
Speaker 1: went against him at Jacksonville. He's really tough in Chicago
Speaker 1: and now just getting him to know him and I
Speaker 1: mean we call him the data of our team, and
Speaker 1: he's not because he's that old. He's just older than
Speaker 1: the guys around him. And but he has a different
Speaker 1: type of maturity too that he brings wisdom to the game,
Speaker 1: the way he takes care of himself, how hard he goes,
Speaker 1: and kind of the data of the group. But when
Speaker 1: you watch him on Sunday, he seems like a kid
Speaker 1: out there too. He's into it. He runs, he hits,
Speaker 1: He's got great ball skills, great instincts, and has a
Speaker 1: little as a good demeanor and energy out there that
Speaker 1: we think fits with our team well too.
Speaker 5: Uh record franchise record for executive regular season wins the
Speaker 5: A nine ninety team. You have an appreciation with the
Speaker 5: history of this franchise. I mean, I realize you've got
Speaker 5: bigger goals than that, but would that be pretty cool
Speaker 5: to you know, break you know, a record held by
Speaker 5: you know kind of that that Dyna dynastic Herita.
Speaker 1: I mean, I got so much respect for the history
Speaker 1: here and those teams, but I mean, it's a record
Speaker 1: over two seasons. It's it's cool, but it's not really though.
Speaker 1: It's I mean it's over two seasons, and it's mayd
Speaker 1: be cool to do that all in one season, but
Speaker 1: I mean it's better than not doing it, or we're
Speaker 1: happy about it. It would be a cool thing to do,
Speaker 1: but I don't think it's that big of a deal personally. Alright,
Speaker 1: Thanks guys,
