1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:05,280
Speaker 1: Let's start for real, just an injury update on the

2
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:07,760
Speaker 1: guys that uh.

3
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:10,280
Speaker 2: Well, we know Walker Walker Little he'll be out, you

4
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 2: know with the ankle, probably missed the rest of the year.

5
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:17,560
Speaker 2: Savage is still in the concussion protocol, so day to

6
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:21,400
Speaker 2: day obviously, we'll see how that progresses. Vent Trail's ankle

7
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 2: didn't do anything yesterday. We'll see today. Probably be limited today.

8
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 3: You know.

9
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 2: So he's he's the the latest. Everyone else is is uh,

10
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 2: you know, dinged up obviously, but should be you know,

11
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 2: Brenton Strange, we find Tyson's good the ones that they.

12
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 3: Came out of the game, but we're returned. I'll be

13
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:49,880
Speaker 3: good for the game.

14
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 2: So is that Cole at left tackle for us?

15
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 1: Yeah?

16
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 2: No, Cole, you know, definitely want to see Cole in there.

17
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 2: You know, he had a good preseason as we know,

18
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:00,959
Speaker 2: and and he's filled it nicely. So see him over there,

19
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 2: that would be good for him.

20
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 4: Do you notice any differences I guess when Tennessee's offense

21
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:09,319
Speaker 4: with the quarterback change, maybe things that they're doing differently

22
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 4: with Mason and there's.

23
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 2: No I mean, you know, still trying to you know,

24
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:15,559
Speaker 2: still trying to push the ball down the field. Obviously

25
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 2: at the Calvin and some of the speed they have,

26
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 2: and you know, still the ability to run the football

27
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 2: screens Tony Pollard, you know, getting him to get him

28
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:26,319
Speaker 2: the ball when they can. And you know, I think

29
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,679
Speaker 2: one of the things too you're seeing is the defense

30
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 2: is also creating some you know, some takeaways.

31
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 3: Right, they're taking the football away, giving their.

32
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 2: Offense some opportunities, but not a whole lot, you know,

33
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 2: still just just running the running the offense.

34
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 3: Do you like playing your team for the second time

35
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:46,399
Speaker 3: this close?

36
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 2: It's fine? I mean, yeah, it's okay. You know, obviously

37
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 2: they know us, we know them. We're gonna have to

38
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 2: play them again at some point during the season, but

39
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 2: you know, the familiarity obviously with both both teams, and

40
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 2: we're both teams are within three weeks. This will be

41
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 2: the fourth week. I guess, you know, is is okay?

42
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:10,920
Speaker 5: Your offensive line's ability to pass block is pretty solid,

43
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 5: and then the running numbers are pretty dismal. Is that disparity?

44
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 5: Can you put your finger on why an O line

45
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 5: would be so good at one thing.

46
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:21,799
Speaker 6: And not so good at the other.

47
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:26,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you know, obviously there two different, two

48
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 2: different skill sets, right, you know, sometimes two we're seeing

49
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:37,399
Speaker 2: by scheme, you know, run through linebackers, you know, anticipating

50
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 2: runs where where we're not we're not coming off on

51
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:46,360
Speaker 2: those combos quick enough and or sometimes not targeted in

52
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 2: the right direction right, and and that that's a that's

53
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 2: a possibility as well with some of the runs. And

54
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 2: then you know you also have to look at the

55
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:55,920
Speaker 2: backs and and see if the backs are you know,

56
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 2: hitting hitting the hole or hitting you know where where

57
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,799
Speaker 2: we anticipate the ball to go and and things like that,

58
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 2: and and so it's it's it's probably a lot more

59
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:05,359
Speaker 2: moving parts.

60
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 3: You know in the run game.

61
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 2: And then and then just being able to sustain it

62
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 2: just sometimes two yards we don't think is is is great?

63
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 3: But it can be. Right then you got to just

64
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 3: kind of continue to stick with it.

65
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 2: And you know, the times that we've been able to

66
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 2: kind of stick with the run we've had, we've had

67
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 2: a little bit of success.

68
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 5: And actually it looks like this line is back next year,

69
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 5: could be at least four or five, right, how do

70
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 5: you fix that the running.

71
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 4: Part moving forward?

72
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 2: Well, again, I think it it starts with just looking

73
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 2: at the scheme, right, looking at uh, the things that

74
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 2: we're doing and also doing what are we doing well?

75
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 2: And and we need to focus on that and and

76
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 2: and what are the skill sets of the guys and

77
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 2: and I think it's still a an athletic group. Our

78
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 2: tackles especially you know, where we can get out and run,

79
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 2: you know. Uh So we got to look at some

80
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 2: of that and then just just overall, right, I think

81
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 2: that's that's where you have to You have to just

82
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 2: just you know, look at it and and cut back

83
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 2: where you can cut back, you know, increase what is good.

84
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 3: And and just focus on that.

85
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,280
Speaker 1: I know, I know you guys have already played him,

86
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 1: but Calvin just what made him a special player for

87
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,359
Speaker 1: you guys last year and just seeing him, you know,

88
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 1: be able to find success.

89
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 3: You know.

90
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,280
Speaker 2: I think in Calvin's case, I think the thing that

91
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 2: really sets him apart from a lot of guys, it's

92
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 2: just his work ethic.

93
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 3: The way he came in here.

94
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 2: And and and worked right away and and wanted to

95
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 2: get in with Trevor and you know, learn the offense

96
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 2: and and get as many catches as he could, you know,

97
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 2: from the quarterbacks. And uh just the way again, the

98
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 2: way he attacks practice during the week, he practices like

99
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 2: he plays and and when you do that, you're gonna

100
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:06,280
Speaker 2: have success on on game day, right and and and

101
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 2: that's something that really kind of sets him apart from

102
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 2: from a lot of people and from a lot of

103
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 2: a lot of receivers, and and it's what's made him

104
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,159
Speaker 2: a really good receiver, you know, a great receiver in

105
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 2: this league. And and of course we know his ability

106
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:25,159
Speaker 2: to run and and and stretch the defense. So I

107
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 2: think just his work ethic and the way he attacks

108
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,040
Speaker 2: it and the way he approaches it, you know, sets

109
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:29,480
Speaker 2: him apart.

110
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 5: Do you a starter again?

111
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 3: We're looking at that right now.

112
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 2: There's there's a possibility, yes, Yeah, what did.

113
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 5: He just show enough in three quarters last week that

114
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 5: it's kind of got fresh legs and knows what he's

115
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,160
Speaker 5: doing back there and really solid flies the back in.

116
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I think, Uh, I think the health

117
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 2: where he is is is is one thing.

118
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:55,599
Speaker 3: I think. To understanding the defense, you know, is another.

119
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 2: And and my only you know, if there is a

120
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,359
Speaker 2: regret is that he got hurt in camp and and

121
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 2: he didn't get a chance to really start the season.

122
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 3: So he's coming into his own right now. He played well.

123
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 2: Last week and uh, look forward to these next couple

124
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 2: of weeks and watching him, watching him go yu.

125
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,279
Speaker 4: It gets pretty hard this time of the year when

126
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,479
Speaker 4: you know everybody's out of of the of the playoffs,

127
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 4: you're playing teams in the same situation, and find some

128
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 4: sort of character these guys. How much of anything do

129
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 4: you think, uh, possibly finishing with a winning record in

130
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 4: the division, which this team has not done very often

131
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:33,279
Speaker 4: in the last fifteen years, twenty years? Is that any

132
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 4: kind of a carrot at all for you to throw out.

133
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 3: There this week? It is?

134
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 2: It is I I think one you you finish, you

135
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:45,039
Speaker 2: finish the the the way you wanna finish, obviously two

136
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:48,160
Speaker 2: division opponents, and and.

137
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 3: It carry it carries you, It carries you into the offseason.

138
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 2: It's the momentum that you want and and so yeah,

139
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 2: there's there's something to be said about that, you know,

140
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 2: to to play well this week and and and try

141
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:00,600
Speaker 2: to you know, do everything you can try to get

142
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:02,039
Speaker 2: a win this week and then go to go to

143
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 2: next week and and if you can do that, then

144
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 2: then you know, there there's I think that's something you

145
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 2: can look at, because then you have to look at

146
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 2: the rest of your schedule and go where did we mess?

147
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 2: Where did we where did we come up short in

148
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 2: some of those other games? Because then it puts you

149
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 2: in a position to each year kind of compete for

150
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 2: your your division right your division champion. And so this

151
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 2: definitely would be a positive, you know, going into the

152
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 2: off season if we can do that.

153
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 4: Also, could you sort of evaluate what you've what you've

154
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 4: seen from Josh Mines out this year? Clearly his sack

155
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 4: numbers are down from last year, pressure rate not so much.

156
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 4: But what are you seeing from him this year in

157
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 4: terms of even though the production isn't quite where you

158
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 4: would want it?

159
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:49,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think.

160
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 2: You know, probably give you a better answer once the

161
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 2: season's over and we look at everything, and and but

162
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 2: you know, coming in and learning a new learning a

163
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 2: new scheme, you know, a little bit different technique for him,

164
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 2: and really all the all the d lineman d ns

165
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 2: you know.

166
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 3: And and just teams, teams know we have two great

167
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 3: edge rushers too. I mean that's that goes without saying.

168
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 2: And and so they're gonna they're gonna spend a lot

169
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 2: of time and we see a lot of time with

170
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 2: tight ends and backs, you know, chipping on the edges

171
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 2: and and slowing slowing our guys down and and that's.

172
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 3: Been a big part of it too.

173
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 2: And because we do that right anytime we face you know,

174
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 2: good edge rushers like like we do each week.

175
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 3: And you know, he's.

176
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 2: He's really built himself and and and really made himself,

177
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 2: i think personally into into into an edge rusher that

178
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 2: can continue to improve. Meaning I think there's more out

179
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 2: there for him, you know, to continue to learn. And

180
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 2: even though he's you know five years in six years

181
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 2: in going into and just learning and growing and maybe

182
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 2: even you know, moving him around a little bit more,

183
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 2: you know, but but he's someone that that his athleticism.

184
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 3: His length, his speed.

185
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:22,599
Speaker 2: You know, we have to find as a staff, you know,

186
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 2: opportunities for him too, you know to uh you know,

187
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,679
Speaker 2: to get after the passer and and I think one

188
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 2: of the things to learning how to learning how to

189
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:35,680
Speaker 2: set the edge this is a little bit different, you know,

190
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 2: learning you know, the run.

191
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:38,839
Speaker 3: All these different.

192
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 2: Things are all techniques that that he and Trayvonn and

193
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 2: and Eric really learned this year. But with that, I

194
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 2: think they're going to continue to improve and get better,

195
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 2: you know, even into next year.

196
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 6: Couch, do you have any Christmas traditions anything unique that

197
00:09:58,200 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 6: you guys do maybe as.

198
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 2: A family, No, not really. You know, we've always done

199
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 2: Christmas Eve. Of course, Christmas Eve is my wife's birthday,

200
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 2: so you know, I've got to make sure that that

201
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 2: everything's separated, right, It's got to be birthday first, take

202
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:14,319
Speaker 2: a pause.

203
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:15,440
Speaker 3: Then we go into Christmas Eve.

204
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:20,079
Speaker 2: But just having you know, just having the family Christmas

205
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 2: Eve kind of you know, the the gifts and things

206
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 2: like that on Christmas Eve.

207
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 3: And then of course.

208
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:27,840
Speaker 2: Growing up with our when our boys were young and

209
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 2: even when I was young, you know, Santa would always

210
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 2: come you know, overnight and and and be there Christmas morning,

211
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 2: you know, and and so we've kind of carried those traditions,

212
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 2: you know, with our boys.

213
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 3: And and even with our our grandkids now.

214
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 2: And and it's fun to kind of kind of see

215
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 2: that the evolution because our our boys, as they begive

216
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 2: their families and the traditions and things that carry on.

217
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 2: So it's uh, it's a special time of the year

218
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 2: obviously to be real and your family and and uh,

219
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,719
Speaker 2: you know, being able to to kind of reminisce a

220
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 2: little bit.

221
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 6: And one more thing, New Year's resolutions. Is it something

222
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:12,480

224
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:16,320

Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, we're gonna change a lot of things.

226
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:30,719

227
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 3: can I be a better version?

Speaker 2: lot about that. And of course you think about your

232
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,320

233
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 2: things that come with that. And yeah, I need to

00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,440
Speaker 2: work out more, I need to eat less and you know,

235
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:55,079
