Speaker 1: I'm Amy Wells. Coach Mac of course is here too.

6
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:36,599
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for joining us for this festive

7
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:41,280
Speaker 1: Christmas holiday edition. Yes, it absolutely is the titans Amian

8
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:45,520
Speaker 1: Coach Mac Podcast. I have nothing festive planned, but as

9
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 1: I was talking, it occurred to me that Christmas is coming,

10
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 1: it is days away. You've got plenty festive planned. Not

11
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 1: for this podcast, I mean for my life. I do. Okay, Well,

12
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 1: then you have something festive planned, and this podcast is

13
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 1: part of your life, and so it's included. And now

14
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 1: I just feel like I should have had the forethought

15
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 1: to include some sort of festive holiday interlude or some

16
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 1: sort of like jingle bells or a Santa appear. I

17
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 1: have none of that. I don't have that. Well, we'll

18
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 1: get Jeannette to lay a Christmas carol on the background. Perfect,

19
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 1: that'll be good. She can do anything, all right. So

20
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,680
Speaker 1: just a little status update of where we have been

21
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 1: and where we are going. The Titans are coming off

22
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,399
Speaker 1: of a road loss to the Los Angeles Charters. They're

23
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 1: now seven and seven on the season. They're still three

24
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 1: and one in the division, and if the playoffs started

25
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 1: right this second, right now, the Titans would be the

26
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 1: fourth seed and would host the Baltimore Ravens. So obviously

27
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,039
Speaker 1: this is not where the Titans wanted to be, but

28
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 1: this is where we are and it's not a bad

29
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 1: place either, right Well, the reason we're here is because

30
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 1: of injuries, and so I mean, I know you're going

31
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 1: to go through some of the but I mean, this

32
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 1: is a deal, and even if you don't want to

33
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: hear about it, it's a reality. And the reality of

34
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: the National Football League is look lifetime coach. The first

35
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 1: thing you hate as a coach is losing. The next thing,

36
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 1: pretty equal that is losing your players, and both of

37
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 1: those things are dependent on one another. This team has

38
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 1: lost an inordinate amount of frontline players and bringing the

39
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,519
Speaker 1: players in that we've brought in, they're doing everything that

40
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,640
Speaker 1: they can, but some of these guys are coming in

41
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: on Monday and Tuesday and not just having to play

42
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:29,640
Speaker 1: Amy five, six, seven, ten snaps on special teams. They're

43
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 1: having to play forty fifty sixty snaps on either offense

44
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 1: or defense. So that's the issue that we're in right now.

45
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: You're still charged with winning the football game, but you've

46
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: got to understand that there's reasons that you're there, and

47
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 1: that's why we're here where we are. Well, okay, so

48
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 1: let's lean into injuries a little bit. Let's talk about

49
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 1: this because, as you said, the Titans have a lot

50
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 1: of them. They've used more than eighty players already this season.

51
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 1: And so I want to preface this whole conversation by saying,

52
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 1: I'm not making excuses, I'm not passing blaying, none of

53
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: those things. I just want to talk about the reality

54
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 1: of the situation. And when you are a head football

55
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 1: coach and you are preparing for a game on Sunday

56
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 1: or on Saturday, and you don't really know who is

57
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 1: going to be playing, who's going to be available for

58
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 1: that game, how big of a challenge is it for

59
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 1: you as the head coach. It's a huge challenge not

60
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 1: only for the head coach, for the assistant coaches, and

61
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: it's a huge challenge for the players because you still

62
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: we've still got some players that have been playing through

63
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 1: some injuries, you know, are that are trying to hang

64
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: in there. But and it's also a challenge training new people.

65
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: I mean, you spend basically all the off season getting

66
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: your program ready and training your people for what you're

67
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 1: going to face during the year with tweaks, but now

68
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 1: you have to start over at ground zero with brand

69
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 1: new people that you bring in. So what it does,

70
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 1: it shrinks what you're able to do because one person,

71
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: everybody's dependent on everybody else in a game, offense, defense,

72
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: special teams, and so what you have to do is

73
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: you have to coach to the lowest common denominator to

74
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 1: get everybody on the same page. That's a challenge. Well,

75
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: and for the Titans, they're bringing in a lot of

76
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: people to fill in those spots. A lot of guys

77
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: are being signed on a Monday or Tuesday and are

78
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 1: playing on a Saturday or a Sunday. As a player,

79
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:22,719
Speaker 1: how much information can you really intake in three or

80
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,359
Speaker 1: four days of preparation depends on the player, and it

81
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,040
Speaker 1: depends on their experience. If you're bringing experienced players in,

82
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,599
Speaker 1: a lot of the concepts in the league are the same,

83
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:35,159
Speaker 1: language is different everywhere and then see it wouldn't. It's

84
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,839
Speaker 1: different when you bring someone in in the off season

85
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 1: from somewhere else and you've got all off season to

86
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: get them indoctrinated into what you do. If you bring

87
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 1: someone in during the season, your preparation time is really

88
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: shortened because you're getting ready to play a game. You're

89
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 1: putting in first and second down game plan, third down

90
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,839
Speaker 1: game plan, short yardage and goal line to minute game plan.

91
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,840
Speaker 1: Everything has to work together. So it's a challenge, it

92
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,599
Speaker 1: really is. I've done it before. I've I've brought a

93
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 1: corner in one time when I was the head coach

94
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: of the Cardinals that we were playing the Raiders when

95
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,279
Speaker 1: they were still in Oakland, and the corner that we

96
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,359
Speaker 1: brought in, I said, look in this game, when they

97
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: when we change, when we change. He's a veteran player,

98
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,719
Speaker 1: so he played both sides. I said, when we've flipped

99
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 1: fields at the quarters, you be sure you're on my

100
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 1: sideline so I can tell you what to do. Oh no,

101
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 1: what's the truth? Wow? Yeah, So I mean that's where

102
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 1: that's where it. Sometimes you do what you have to

103
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:31,279
Speaker 1: do when you're limited in what you can call because

104
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:34,840
Speaker 1: of the personnel that you have available, what options do

105
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:36,840
Speaker 1: you have? You just have to run what you are

106
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,279
Speaker 1: able to call as efficiently as possible. Yes, absolutely, and

107
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,159
Speaker 1: then you try to fit it. Try to fit it

108
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,840
Speaker 1: and try to find some weaknesses on your opponent that

109
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: you can you can still work. You still got some

110
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 1: of your top line players, so you've got to be

111
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: able to accentuate those. And when things are happening like this,

112
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: your best players have to play their best because basically

113
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 1: they've got to be able to, you know, pull everybody

114
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 1: else up with them. I mean, it's not an ideal situation,

115
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,799
Speaker 1: but it's a reality of a situation, and the reality

116
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:05,160
Speaker 1: of it is too Titans are still in a position

117
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 1: if you win the right games, that you're still going

118
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 1: to win this division. So that's where you are. So

119
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 1: let's talk about injuries a little bit and what this

120
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:18,040
Speaker 1: team is looking like. We are recording this on Thursday afternoon,

121
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:22,600
Speaker 1: and with the Titans playing on Saturday at Nissan Stadium.

122
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 1: This is a football Friday, so the football team is

123
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 1: going through their Friday routine, so we know a little

124
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 1: bit more about who is going to be playing on

125
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 1: Saturday than we would on a typical Thursday. Back at practice,

126
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 1: which is very exciting. Treylan Burkes, Zat Cunningham, Denico Autrey,

127
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,799
Speaker 1: Trey Avery. Those are some of those front line players,

128
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 1: right Max. Absolutely, that helps. That helps a lot. That

129
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 1: helps that they've been able to work themselves back, working

130
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,840
Speaker 1: through their injuries, being able to rehab and get back

131
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:56,040
Speaker 1: on the field. Yes, that helps people that we know

132
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,719
Speaker 1: are going to be out and will not be playing

133
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 1: in this upcoming test against the Houston Texans. Ryan Tannehill,

134
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:08,479
Speaker 1: Nate Davis, Christian Fulton, Ben Jones, Terrence Mitchell, Dylan Cole,

135
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 1: and Josh Thompson. That is the list well, and those

136
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 1: are all legitimate players. Those are all players that have

137
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 1: started and have played. And you know, the biggest headliners,

138
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 1: You're starting quarterback, you know, who has been really really

139
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 1: gutting through an ankle, you know, came back to play,

140
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 1: even came back in the Chargers game once he got

141
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: it twisted and got carded in and then came back

142
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 1: out and finished the ball game and had a good game.

143
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 1: You know, I thought that the team put everything they

144
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 1: had into that game, it's so fine, and left it

145
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 1: all out on the field and then you know, weren't

146
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 1: rewarded with a win. That's where we are. So with

147
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill not playing this game, Molik Willis will get

148
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 1: his third start of the season. He's going to be

149
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 1: starting against the Houston Texans, a team that he has

150
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 1: already seen once he faced him in week eight. How

151
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 1: does that help him prepare? Having been the starter, not

152
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 1: just prepping going through the motions, trying to keep his

153
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: mind engaged and you know, prepping like a starter, but

154
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 1: having actually been on the field playing this guy's how

155
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 1: how is that going to help him get ready for

156
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 1: this game? So it's big. I mean it helps him

157
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: a lot because now it's not brand new to him.

158
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 1: You know, when he when he had to go in

159
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 1: and start that game against Houston and Houston early in

160
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 1: the year, I mean that was brand new to him.

161
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 1: And so you know, the game plan was to lean

162
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 1: very very heavily on Derrick Henry, lean on Derrick Henry,

163
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 1: and lean on your defense who was healthier at the time.

164
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,679
Speaker 1: And so that's what that's what they did, and they

165
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 1: won the ball game. But Malik Willis has grown since

166
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 1: he's been here as far as being a National Football

167
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 1: League quarterback, not anywhere near what he's going to be

168
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 1: or needs to be, you know, to be a to

169
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 1: be a proficient starter in this league. But he's so

170
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 1: far ahead of where he was, and you watch him

171
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,959
Speaker 1: at practice this week, he's much more confident. I thought

172
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 1: he was much more confident. Amy you're on the field

173
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 1: during the game when he came in against the Chargers,

174
00:08:57,679 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 1: you could just tell you know that. I mean, he's

175
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 1: he's been doing it a while, as he said, been

176
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 1: doing it for thirteen to fourteen weeks now for real,

177
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,959
Speaker 1: so he understands it. So you asked the question about

178
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:11,719
Speaker 1: starting the Houston game, how important that was? I think

179
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 1: it's really important. The Titans added University of Tennessee alum

180
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 1: Joshua Dabbs to the active roster. Now. Dobbs is a

181
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 1: veteran quarterback in this league who hasn't done a ton

182
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 1: in terms of live reps, but is a veteran backup,

183
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:28,719
Speaker 1: so he has a lot of wisdom to impart on

184
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:33,560
Speaker 1: Malik Willis. So regardless of what ends up happening on

185
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 1: the field in terms of injuries and this and that,

186
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 1: whether or not Joshua Dobbs ever sees the field, he

187
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 1: can be really beneficial to Malik Crect. I think so

188
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 1: I mean, he's not going to impart a whole lot

189
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 1: of knowledge as far as to what this scheme is,

190
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,679
Speaker 1: but he can really. I mean, he's he's been at

191
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 1: enough clubs now and as you said, he had had

192
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 1: a lot of game action. But you know, the book

193
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 1: on him was a really smart guy, has been around.

194
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 1: You know, you can't manufacture experience in this league. At

195
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,960
Speaker 1: least he has experience of being in the league. So

196
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 1: that's a plus. I mentioned it earlier when I went

197
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 1: through the injuries and everything. Trailing Burks is back and

198
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 1: he had a good week of practice. We saw him

199
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: out on the field. Mike Vrabel said that he is

200
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 1: optimistic about him being cleared through the concussion protocol, being

201
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 1: able to be back on the field. What is he

202
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 1: able to bring to the offense, especially one that has

203
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:28,080
Speaker 1: someone like Malik back there who is going to need

204
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 1: some weapons to throw too. Well. I mean, Trailing I

205
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,680
Speaker 1: thought was really making a lot of progress before he

206
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 1: got the turf toe at Indy. Then he really had

207
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:39,319
Speaker 1: to reset, had to reset and start again. Worked his

208
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 1: way through that, came back, did everything that you're supposed

209
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 1: to do, came back in great condition, both mentally and

210
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 1: physically and was really beginning to start to blossom into

211
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:50,559
Speaker 1: what we need and what he is. I mean, he's

212
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 1: a big, fast, combat catcher. It's what he is, So

213
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 1: he's a threat. Then he gets his face broke. I

214
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 1: mean on a beautiful, a great catch, one of the

215
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 1: best combat catches I've ever seen, But he gets a concussion.

216
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 1: So that's another set back. Now he's worked his way

217
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:06,959
Speaker 1: back from that, so let's see where he is at

218
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 1: this stage working his way back from that. And but

219
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:13,680
Speaker 1: he's the most talented receiver on the field that we have.

220
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,680
Speaker 1: When he's playing on the defensive side of the ball,

221
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 1: there's a lot of things to watch. And again I

222
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 1: had mentioned that guys like Denico Autreyer hopefully going to

223
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 1: be back, Zach Cunningham playing his former team. That's very exciting.

224
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,199
Speaker 1: Two guys that I'm really fired up about, and this

225
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 1: is residual from last week's game against the Los Angeles Chargers.

226
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 1: Really fired up about Roger McCreary, really fired up about

227
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 1: Joshua Kalou. Well. Roger McCreary has has stayed with it

228
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 1: since he's come here, and he's had some rookie moments.

229
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 1: He really has had some rookie moments and some rookie

230
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 1: down times, you know, not only during games, but there's

231
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 1: been some stretch of it, but he's fought his way

232
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 1: back from it. The one thing that he is is

233
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 1: he's a very smart, heads up, situationally aware player. That

234
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 1: play that he Calu collaborated on for the interception down

235
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 1: there in the end zone, well, it's a it's the

236
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 1: best I've seen, and I've seen about seven hundred games.

237
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,439
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's it's the best I've ever seen

238
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 1: because there was so much that went into that. First

239
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 1: of all, just to athletically make the play to jump

240
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,960
Speaker 1: out of bounds, and then to have the presence of

241
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 1: mind to catch the ball. He caught the ball, and

242
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 1: then to know the clue was behind him, because if

243
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 1: he throws it forward, it's an illegal play. But to

244
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:29,680
Speaker 1: know that Calue was there and threw it behind him,

245
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,840
Speaker 1: and also knew that the receiver Williams had already gone

246
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 1: past the point as to where he would be involved

247
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 1: with any type of throwback. It was a fabulous play.

248
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 1: And then Callu being able to get both feet down

249
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 1: and to have the presence of mind to know where

250
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:47,439
Speaker 1: he was and to know and just connect with McCrary

251
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 1: as to what was getting ready to happen. I mean,

252
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 1: it was kind of like a fast breaking basketball where

253
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:55,199
Speaker 1: you know, they don't they just look at each other

254
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 1: and one throws the alley oop up and the other

255
00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 1: one slams it. It was. It was one of the

256
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:03,079
Speaker 1: better or plays I've ever seen defensively in the National

257
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 1: Football League as far as a pick. So earlier this week,

258
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 1: Roger McCoury spoke with the media, and uh, we want

259
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 1: to play for you what he had to say because

260
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 1: we don't get to hear from him very often. So

261
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 1: here is Roger McCreary's media availability from earlier this week.

262
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:22,200
Speaker 1: Had you ever seen anything like that before, had you

263
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 1: ever done anything like that before? Or that all this happened. Um,

264
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 1: I heard a play like that happened before Oklahoma State,

265
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 1: the same as that player happened. But I always imagine

266
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 1: doing a play like that when I was young, and

267
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 1: at that moment, I knew that was my chance to

268
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:36,079
Speaker 1: do it, and I feel like Calue was in the

269
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,440
Speaker 1: right spot for that to happen. I think then maybe

270
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 1: the Redskins game, it was maybe I forget who was

271
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:42,440
Speaker 1: even involved in that, but it was on the back

272
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 1: line where it looked like maybe somebody could have done it.

273
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 1: Did that ever come up and talk about that to

274
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,719
Speaker 1: my Christian or that played with Christian? Ye'all we told

275
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 1: him like at the end we watched famine everything like

276
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 1: he could have did it, but he could have caught

277
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 1: the interception too, Like I feel like he was a

278
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,559
Speaker 1: position to catch the interception with my situation, I went

279
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 1: in his that position to catch the interception size too, Kalulud.

280
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 1: He's keeping the ball, but it gives you credit for

281
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 1: it anyway, cutting a half or what he said. Now

282
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 1: he can keep the ball, he can keep you know,

283
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 1: that's his first I didn't know that was his first

284
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 1: on Carell I mean NFL on picks. So I feel

285
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 1: that's great. He can keep the ball. I gotta I

286
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:15,559
Speaker 1: gotta know the ball kensas City. I still like look

287
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 1: at that ball every day. But um, that was just

288
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 1: I felt like that was just me being selfish, and

289
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 1: I feel like it was great for both of us

290
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 1: in that moment. So I'm having for him that that

291
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 1: was his first pick. There might be the chance of

292
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 1: a you know, a receiver coming down with the ball

293
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 1: or you said well, he said, were you concerned to

294
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 1: all that? Oh? No, I wasn't concerned on him because

295
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 1: when the ball was coming, he wasn't looking. He was

296
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 1: still like going down the field. So I knew there

297
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 1: was my like, has that chance to get a perfect

298
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 1: catch without him describing me or anything, And that's when

299
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 1: clue came. So I felt it was great at the moment.

300
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 1: Did the receiver say anything to you afterwards? Now he

301
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 1: didn't say not un to him and he ain't had time.

302
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 1: I started running in seven brand with the teammate and everything,

303
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 1: so he couldn't fill through that kind of rookie wall.

304
00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:00,040
Speaker 1: You're past the college season at this point and you

305
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 1: just turned in one of your best games, and how

306
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 1: have you gotten over that? Um? I would say the

307
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 1: ricky water that's no joke right there. I did not

308
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 1: know that was a thing for it until like that game.

309
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 1: That's when I say it finally hit me. But um,

310
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 1: I say, um, it's great. You know that game there,

311
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 1: I feel like my confidence came home a little more

312
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 1: or higher because playing against guy like Mike Wimson everything.

313
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 1: I just feel like that game I just got learned

314
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 1: from my mistakes because I feel like that was some

315
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 1: places I could have did better, but it's just onto

316
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 1: the next game, just trying to get better. But what

317
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 1: is the feeling like when you are struggling when you

318
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 1: know your college season would have been over with him?

319
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 1: Is it more of a fatigue factor? Le's feeling it

320
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 1: where you feel it the most when you were when

321
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 1: you're kind of trying to get past it. I say,

322
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 1: both physically and mentally on just being tired. You know, mentally,

323
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 1: feel like I could be chilling right now on college

324
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 1: they're chilling right now and all that stuff. You know,

325
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 1: I'm still playing lead and just my body. You know,

326
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 1: he gets sorry playing against like guys, big guys, feels

327
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 1: goal every played throughout the whole game. So I feel

328
00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 1: like it's both mentally and physically it's tough plays then

329
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 1: around the goal line. I think that maybe like Cincinnati

330
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 1: and and of course the Jacksonville one too, what do

331
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 1: you think you learn from those? And you know, how

332
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 1: did that help you? Maybe maybe against the Chargers and

333
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 1: going forward? Yeah, I would say dealing with some tough players,

334
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 1: don't you know the players I couldn't make um, I

335
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 1: can't go back from that, and just gotta learned from

336
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 1: them stays and I just gotta get better. I just

337
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 1: gotta put that in the pass and just try to

338
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 1: get better in the future. Particular from from those plays

339
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 1: that that you know that you did learn specifically from UM,

340
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say it's just from them players. It's just

341
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 1: the day they just needed. I mean, they just wanted

342
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 1: it more in that way. I could have caught the

343
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 1: intercession and jad wars I couldn't make it. They wanted more.

344
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 1: I felt like Cincinnati, you know t he can caught

345
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 1: the ball on me. I feel like he just wanted

346
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 1: it more. To me. I just gotta play much stronger

347
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 1: and I just gotta like know who I'm going against

348
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 1: in that as I felt like, but don't plays just

349
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 1: in the past. I felt like, I just gotta go on,

350
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 1: just keep pushing it for my team. Sunday at the

351
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 1: various packages, you guys put it out in the field

352
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 1: in the secondary and looked the way different than it

353
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 1: did at the beginning of the season. As one of

354
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 1: the guys who's been relatively healthy and out there, mostly

355
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 1: do you take a pressure in that, but you gotta

356
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 1: keep it up and kind of carry this unit right now?

357
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,120
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, most definitely. I'm going into that game there.

358
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 1: I knew that was gonna throw the ball a lot.

359
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:14,640
Speaker 1: And you know, getting out of season on we didn't

360
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:16,960
Speaker 1: start all good, and you know, some guys are getting

361
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:18,360
Speaker 1: hurt and everything, and so I felt like it it's

362
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 1: a little tough for us in the back end. But

363
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 1: you know, we got new guys coming in and out,

364
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:24,880
Speaker 1: so I felt like we just gotta like they all

365
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 1: start with practice. We just gotta work hard and just

366
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,679
Speaker 1: communicate and just trying to get better every week throughout

367
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 1: the practice and everything. And I felt like that builds up.

368
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 1: You know, we have guys like Jeff and guy, I

369
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 1: mean David and he was here, but now you hurt.

370
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 1: Now we just have leaders like that which just help

371
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 1: him push us every practice, just try to get better

372
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 1: throughout the whole season. But I felt like we still

373
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 1: gotta keep going, keep pushing my bad. Mostly guys in

374
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,680
Speaker 1: the locker room never lost four games before. What's what that?

375
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:52,880
Speaker 1: Mostly guys that locker room have never lost four games

376
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:55,120
Speaker 1: in the row before. What's what's the mood like now?

377
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 1: Compared the beginning of the season. I never knew that.

378
00:17:58,040 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 1: I did, never knew him. They lost from they never

379
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:02,160
Speaker 1: lost for games, but just saying how KB was outter

380
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:04,199
Speaker 1: the game. You can tell them, I can tell they

381
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:06,440
Speaker 1: really like hurt him, like how much you really wanted

382
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 1: And that's just like one thing about me that you

383
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 1: really hurt me. Because you know, seeing older guys like that,

384
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 1: who like who build a brand on his team and

385
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 1: all that stuff, I feel like I just got to

386
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:17,919
Speaker 1: be stronger on my end to just try to help

387
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,359
Speaker 1: them out, even though we have guys banging up and everything.

388
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 1: So I feel like with my job, I feel I

389
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 1: just got to do better for guys like him. How

390
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 1: have you seen some of those leaders like keep that

391
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:29,920
Speaker 1: energy positive and you you know it's a newcoming, Like

392
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 1: how have you been able to keep that positive as well?

393
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:35,120
Speaker 1: On Jess first? To start off with them, just keeping

394
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 1: them positive, keeping that energy, keep going positive, just trying

395
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 1: to get better throughout the whole week. It started with them,

396
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,640
Speaker 1: because there'd be some places I'll be I'll be bad,

397
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:45,119
Speaker 1: I'll be down, I'll be like damn messing up for

398
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 1: the team, but like God's like him and the leaders,

399
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 1: they would keep that positive energy like this is one

400
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:51,719
Speaker 1: play that's just that just keep pushing. We still got

401
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:53,960
Speaker 1: more room to play. It's just stuff like that, that

402
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 1: positive energy, and everybody's like that throughout the locker room.

403
00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:58,680
Speaker 1: So I feel like, as long as you keep that

404
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 1: positive mind saying energy, I feel like we're gonna be

405
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:05,119
Speaker 1: great at the end that you say some of the

406
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 1: things that have happened, like very personally for you, like

407
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:09,680
Speaker 1: what's what's the key to kind of learning from it,

408
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,679
Speaker 1: but also turning the page and rolling forward to another

409
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 1: good play. I feel like with me, that's one of

410
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 1: the hardest thing with me on because I'm always hard

411
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:18,920
Speaker 1: on myself, even if it's a mistackle and that got

412
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,160
Speaker 1: to a first down, I'm gonna be hard on myself

413
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 1: throughout the whole game with that. But it's just with me,

414
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,119
Speaker 1: I say me personally, I just gotta like move on

415
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:28,880
Speaker 1: to the next page and just try to like try

416
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 1: to like do good throughout the whole game. Would be

417
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:33,879
Speaker 1: better throughout the whole game because we still got my

418
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:35,680
Speaker 1: ruin to play in that game. So I just can't

419
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:38,400
Speaker 1: think about that. But with me personally, me, I feel

420
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 1: like that's something I gotta work on, not trying to

421
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,639
Speaker 1: be so hard on myself. But just turned the next page.

422
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 1: Two quarterbacks right now, does that making any more challenging

423
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 1: to prepare for? Um, I wouldn't say so. I feel like, Um,

424
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know exactly the two quarterbacks I'm

425
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:57,920
Speaker 1: referring to, but I feel like that won't mean nothing

426
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,879
Speaker 1: or none of that because they gotta running back. You know,

427
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,440
Speaker 1: they still got three receivers and everything. But it's just

428
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 1: like trying to learn to figure out who they're going

429
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 1: to use the quarterback in different situations. And I feel like,

430
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:10,719
Speaker 1: going until today, we just got to learn and how

431
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 1: we're going to fit up. You don't like to play

432
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,440
Speaker 1: in cold weather. You've kind of made that clear. You've

433
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 1: done it though this season. Yeah, up in Green Bay,

434
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:21,680
Speaker 1: it's gonna be pretty cold on Saturday. I heard, just

435
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:24,360
Speaker 1: how do you prepare for something like that mentally? Being

436
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:26,640
Speaker 1: like a guy who doesn't love that. Yeah, I heard

437
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 1: it's gonna be really cold. But green Bay that was

438
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:30,679
Speaker 1: really the first big test right there, because I've never

439
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,199
Speaker 1: seen snow that much really, but like it was snowing,

440
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 1: So I felt like that was a good test for me.

441
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:37,400
Speaker 1: But this game right here, like they say it's gonna

442
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 1: be real cold, but really I say, it's all mental,

443
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:42,239
Speaker 1: It's all in the head. So I feel like I'm

444
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 1: gonna be good at the end, but yeah, it's gonna

445
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 1: beet cold. I all I can already tell for things.

446
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:50,119
Speaker 1: They get ready for a game like this, Like what

447
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 1: particularly do you use first? A heater? I got to

448
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 1: be close to the heater. Heater is on the sideline.

449
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:57,440
Speaker 1: It'll be working out good for me, I would say,

450
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:00,879
Speaker 1: But like it it's all mentally, I would say, it's not.

451
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 1: It's not like a bit chance for me. I feel

452
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 1: I can pay through it. Sweats extra sweats, actra long

453
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 1: underwere maybe. I mean really, all I need is some

454
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,639
Speaker 1: some baseline, some ice to high on my arms and everything.

455
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:15,120
Speaker 1: My lids don't get called. Really, it's just like rially

456
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 1: my own. So once that good, I'm scraat. I'm good

457
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 1: for the game. You get used to that vaceline. I mean,

458
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:21,920
Speaker 1: just like greasing out before you go out there. It

459
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 1: seems kind of weird. You got to you gotta use it.

460
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 1: You gotta use that be I mean, I'll step out

461
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 1: that at first, aph No, I gotta go back inside.

462
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,639
Speaker 1: But like it really help. I'm not going to lie,

463
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 1: it's really help. Maybe a ball may slip through your

464
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 1: grasp if you got on too much of isoline. Got

465
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 1: the gloves for I got the gloves. You put the

466
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:42,880
Speaker 1: gloves on. You good. So I feel like I'm gonna

467
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 1: be scray. I feel I got a little routine for

468
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 1: this cold weather. What have you seen Roger from you,

469
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 1: fellow rooking? Yeah, Malik this season? You know when in practice,

470
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:53,879
Speaker 1: whether it's you running the scout team or whatever, what

471
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:56,120
Speaker 1: kind of progress have you seen him make? I'm going

472
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 1: back to the positive energy. That's one of the guys

473
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:01,199
Speaker 1: I would say, always have a positive you know. Um,

474
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 1: you know we're going to feel he tried to beat

475
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 1: there for the team, even though he made like some stakes.

476
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 1: Have a positive energy, just trying to get better every day,

477
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 1: I promise you. Like he didn't want to pick me

478
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 1: up because we've been like knowing each other since Arban days.

479
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 1: So I feel like he is going to be good

480
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 1: for him at the end because he pushed every day.

481
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 1: You work hard every day, and I feel like he's

482
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:25,120
Speaker 1: a great team leader. He's kind of funny, dude. Well,

483
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 1: I liked this player, but I've always liked him. I

484
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,639
Speaker 1: liked him in the draft just because he is a

485
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,920
Speaker 1: football player. He gets it. No situation is too big

486
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 1: for him? Is he going to get beat? Yes, every

487
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 1: corner of the National Football League is going to get

488
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:39,359
Speaker 1: beat as long as they're living on a football field

489
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:41,920
Speaker 1: in the National Football League. But he bounces back from it,

490
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 1: and he's he's a competitor. He's a tough player, he's

491
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:47,159
Speaker 1: a tackler, and I mean I like him. I like

492
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 1: his entire makeup. Mac. Are you're ready to look ahead

493
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 1: to Houston a little bit? Sure? All right? So the

494
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:57,160
Speaker 1: record is one twelve and one, which is not phenomenal,

495
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 1: but this isn't a team that has quit it in

496
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 1: any way. They're still playing very hard and it seems

497
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:06,919
Speaker 1: like they still have a lot of motivation to play well.

498
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 1: They've got no reason not to because look, when when

499
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:12,879
Speaker 1: you're in this type of situation, I mean, thankfully that

500
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:14,920
Speaker 1: I've never been involved in too many of these in

501
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,679
Speaker 1: all of my years of coaching, But if you are,

502
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:20,239
Speaker 1: the players are playing for their jobs not only at

503
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 1: Houston but somewhere else and depends on where they are

504
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 1: in their careers. So that's number one. Number two is

505
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:28,400
Speaker 1: is when you get to this point with a one

506
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:31,239
Speaker 1: win season, you've got nothing to lose. I mean, you've

507
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 1: got nothing to lose player wise or coach wise. And

508
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 1: we'll get into some of the things that they're doing

509
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 1: coaching now. But the fact that you said that they're

510
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 1: paying hard, it's demonstrated with what they've done. I mean, defensively,

511
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 1: they've created five turnovers in the last two weeks against

512
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 1: playoff bound teams that have resulted in twenty four points

513
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,400
Speaker 1: that kept them very close in the game. So if

514
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:55,119
Speaker 1: you're creating that many turnovers, then clearly you're putting a

515
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:57,440
Speaker 1: lot of effort into what's going on. So they're doing that,

516
00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 1: and they've also done some things off of lead to

517
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 1: try to jump start what's going on, especially since they

518
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 1: lost Damien Pierce, who I think is one of the

519
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 1: better young running backs coming up in the league. But

520
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:10,920
Speaker 1: they started a two quarterback system. I want to talk

521
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 1: about that a little bit because their offensive coordinator, Pep Hamilton,

522
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:17,440
Speaker 1: he flat out said this was an experiment. We didn't

523
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 1: really know what was going to happen, but they've had

524
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 1: a lot of success with it and now it has

525
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 1: become part of their offense. How bizarre not bizarre? How

526
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 1: unusual is it, I should say, to have two quarterbacks

527
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:39,360
Speaker 1: that you're running and taking almost equal snaps. Well, it's

528
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 1: very unusual if you're winning, if you're one twelve and one,

529
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:46,960
Speaker 1: it's not unusual at all. They're trying to look for

530
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 1: anything to give him a jump start. And both are quarterbacks,

531
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 1: Davis Mills and Jeff Driscoll. They're both different types of quarterbacks,

532
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:55,119
Speaker 1: and so what they're doing is is by putting that

533
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:58,919
Speaker 1: on tape, they're making their next opponent the Titans prepare

534
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:02,200
Speaker 1: for two quarterbacks, you know, and and they're both different.

535
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 1: Driscoll can run and can move. Davis Mills is a

536
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:07,960
Speaker 1: pocket passer, and so the things that they're doing are different.

537
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 1: And I understand why Pep did it. I mean, I

538
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 1: see he was. You know, they've lost a couple of

539
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 1: their receivers, you know, they and so, and they lost

540
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 1: their best running back. So what they're trying to do

541
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 1: is manufacture offense. And that's what they're doing. Well, you

542
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 1: mentioned that they've been missing some people on offense, Nico

543
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 1: Collins struggling with an injury, Brendan Cooks struggling with an injury.

544
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 1: You already said Damion Pierce isn't gonna be playing a

545
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 1: lot of injuries at key positions. For them. On offense,

546
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 1: are there any guys left? Are there people who've stuck

547
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:39,159
Speaker 1: out to you? Sure? The more kid that was their

548
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:42,119
Speaker 1: number three, I mean he had ten catches against Dallas

549
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 1: and and really had a great had a great game,

550
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 1: got his opportunity, has taken advantage of it. Yeah, they've

551
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 1: got They've got people left and the thing that they're

552
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:53,400
Speaker 1: that they are doing. And I was always worried when

553
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:56,640
Speaker 1: I was coaching against a team like this because they've

554
00:25:56,680 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 1: got zero to lose. There's no pressure on them, none

555
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 1: at all. The only pressure is going to be on

556
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:05,359
Speaker 1: them is how the temperature is going to be. But

557
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 1: as far as the pressure, I mean, there is no

558
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,680
Speaker 1: pressure on them, so they can prepare pretty free flowing.

559
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:15,880
Speaker 1: On defense, Jerry Hughes is still a threat despite the rogue. Yeah,

560
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 1: well in what he's one hundred years old, No, he's

561
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:22,119
Speaker 1: a frog thirteen years in the league. He's got it.

562
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 1: Leads the team with eight sacks. He's doing a really

563
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 1: really nice job. Both of their edge players are good players.

564
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 1: And then and defensively, the player I really like. We

565
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 1: watched it, we vetted him in the draft. You and

566
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,159
Speaker 1: I an rhet did Jalen Petrie, the kid from Baylor

567
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 1: is really making a big difference. And of course you

568
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:43,639
Speaker 1: know they're playing five interceptions last two weeks against Dallas

569
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 1: against Kansas City. They're playing defense well, and love Smith

570
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 1: is kind of known for his defenses correct. Well, that's

571
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:52,399
Speaker 1: how he's cut his teeth in this league, and that's

572
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:55,359
Speaker 1: what's gotten him head jobs collegiately and in the National

573
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 1: Football League. Excellent defensive coach. I'm gonna be very interested

574
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:01,439
Speaker 1: to see what he comes up with because his focus

575
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 1: will be to stop Derrick Henry. It's gonna be very

576
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:05,920
Speaker 1: interesting to see what he does. So what do the

577
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:07,800
Speaker 1: Titans need to do to walk away with a win

578
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:10,360
Speaker 1: over the Texans. Well, you're gonna to control the ball.

579
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 1: You gotta run the ball. We ran the ball against

580
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:15,400
Speaker 1: him last time, Lovey will try not to let that happen.

581
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 1: This time. We got to run the ball on him

582
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 1: because you know, you've got a young quarterback starting the game.

583
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 1: You don't want to get into a game where the

584
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 1: young quarterback has to sit back there in the pocket

585
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:27,719
Speaker 1: and try to be able to bring you back from

586
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 1: twenty one down. Or you know, you can't let the

587
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 1: score get separated. Best way not to do that. Control

588
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 1: the football and then use your quarterback. Your quarterback is

589
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:40,159
Speaker 1: an athletic young quarterback, use him on play action, use

590
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:42,159
Speaker 1: his legs some You gotta be able to run the

591
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 1: ball and control it to begin with. And then basically,

592
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:47,879
Speaker 1: you know, play defense like you've been playing defense. Especially

593
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,320
Speaker 1: last week. I thought the defensive game plan and the

594
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 1: execution was really good against the Chargers, who are an

595
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 1: explosive offense, except for two explosive plays, you know, and

596
00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:59,680
Speaker 1: in a basically a two score game which it was

597
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:02,840
Speaker 1: teams tied at fourteen fourteen, you know, you had one

598
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 1: explosive play at the end of the game that ended

599
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 1: up in a four second kick that gave him the wind.

600
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:10,119
Speaker 1: So you need to play defense like that and are

601
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 1: returning people that are returning up front, we need pressure

602
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:16,119
Speaker 1: on whoever they have playing quarterback. Let's talk about this

603
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:21,960
Speaker 1: weather a little bit. The Nashville area is expecting some

604
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:25,200
Speaker 1: chilly temperatures. We are all kind of waiting with bated

605
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:28,960
Speaker 1: breath right now for the I mean the bottom to

606
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 1: drop out. Basically in terms of temperatures, we are going

607
00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 1: to go from what is it, fifty two fifty three

608
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 1: something like that, right now and it's going to go

609
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 1: down to the single digits by the end of this evening.

610
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 1: We're all the whole world's frozen. The whole world is frozen.

611
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 1: It's freezing from the top down. It's not great. It's

612
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 1: not my favorite thing. And Saturday's game, they say twenty

613
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 1: six degrees is the high on Saturday. I don't think

614
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:56,920
Speaker 1: it's even going to get that warm. And the wind

615
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 1: chill is the biggest issue, right absolutely. I mean it's

616
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 1: ten years in Chicago, so I've got some cold weather

617
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 1: experience during the football season, and wind chill is a

618
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:08,000
Speaker 1: big deal. If the wind is not blowing, I mean,

619
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 1: you can you can. You can survive the cold because

620
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 1: you've got enough stuff that you can wear. For the players,

621
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 1: the benches are heated. I mean, there's a lot of

622
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:17,920
Speaker 1: things you can do. But the wind chill, it's hard

623
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 1: to beat the wind. How is that going to impact

624
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 1: this game? If it blows a lot, it'll impact it

625
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 1: a lot. I mean it will because you know, it

626
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 1: impacts your throwing ability, and it also impact impacts you know,

627
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:32,280
Speaker 1: which end you choose, you know with if you win

628
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 1: a toss, it impacts a lot of things that you do.

629
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 1: It also is going to impact the kicking game quite

630
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 1: a bit. So the wind with the cold, that's the

631
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 1: that's the biggest break that we're getting. I think amy

632
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:46,720
Speaker 1: with this is at least it's not going to be wet.

633
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:49,160
Speaker 1: It's not going to be it's not gonna be damp,

634
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 1: it's not gonna be I've played in freezing ice before,

635
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 1: blowing ice. I've played in all of that stuff, you know,

636
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 1: coaching all that stuff. That's a problem. At least we've

637
00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 1: got no precipitation, We've got cold, and we've got wind,

638
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 1: so we've got wind chill issues, and then we've got

639
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:07,480
Speaker 1: directional wind issues. So you're a Chicago resident for a

640
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 1: time in your life ten years, I'm a Texas resident.

641
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 1: I was a Chicago mercenary for ten years. What tips

642
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:18,080
Speaker 1: do you have for people who are coming to the

643
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 1: game and also me who will be standing outside, to

644
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 1: not tie layers. Start with a nice cotton layer underneath

645
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 1: something that doesn't absorb sweat. You need a nice layer

646
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 1: underneath that doesn't so because you're gonna get hot with

647
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 1: with a bunch of layers on. But you don't want

648
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 1: to be sweating underneath these layers because the water. The

649
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 1: perspiration makes you colder, so don't do that. Layer up

650
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:47,240
Speaker 1: with the correct fabrics. Protect your head, protect your feet,

651
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:51,640
Speaker 1: that's important. Protect your hands. And if it's if it's

652
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:54,320
Speaker 1: what we used to do in Chicago when the wind

653
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:57,480
Speaker 1: was blowing is everybody would grease up with vasoline on

654
00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 1: any exposed skin because vasily cuts the wind completely. So

655
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 1: what you're saying, I'm saying it for you, Amy, here's

656
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 1: what you do. Get dressed like I said, and then

657
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:09,600
Speaker 1: have somebody tip you up by hold you by your

658
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:14,000
Speaker 1: ankles and dip your head and a bucket up. I

659
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:17,680
Speaker 1: might do it. Mac. This is gonna be the coldest

660
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 1: game that I've ever been a part of. Oh, I'm

661
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 1: sure it is. I'm sure it's going to be. And then,

662
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 1: you know, for the people in the stands, you know,

663
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 1: bring something to sit on, you know, not with the seats.

664
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 1: They got nice seats, but bring something for your feet.

665
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:31,640
Speaker 1: Bring cardboard or something put on your feet so that

666
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 1: your feet aren't on concrete. Bring something to cut the

667
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:39,800
Speaker 1: cold on the concrete. This is fascinating. All right, Well

668
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:42,800
Speaker 1: there you go through this for ten years. Yeah, yeah,

669
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:46,240
Speaker 1: that's very impressive. You're very wise when it comes. I'm

670
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 1: not wise, but that's what we did well. The Titans, dude,
