Obviously, coming back from we call 9 00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:22,439 Speaker 1: it a mini buy. I don't know how you look 10 00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:24,159 Speaker 1: at it. How'd you feel getting back out of the 11 00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:27,240 Speaker 1: practice field on Monday after a little bit of time 12 00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:28,320 Speaker 1: off since the last game. 13 00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:30,960 Speaker 3: It's always good to get some time off, especially you 14 00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:33,080 Speaker 3: know after a rough out. It's rough and out and 15 00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:36,600 Speaker 3: as we have versus Baltimore, it's hard to kind of 16 00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:40,800 Speaker 3: sit and enjoy Christmas because he's just stirring. Right what 17 00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:43,680 Speaker 3: just happened on the field, sat women, it's hard to 18 00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,200 Speaker 3: deal with. But you know, after a couple of days, 19 00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:49,479 Speaker 3: you really have to just flush it right, learn from it, 20 00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:51,960 Speaker 3: and you know, took down some really good notes on 21 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,320 Speaker 3: what we're doing, how we can improve and get better, 22 00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:57,440 Speaker 3: and then just took the weekend and really enjoy time 23 00:00:57,640 --> 00:00:59,760 Speaker 3: with the family. And that's what that was about. And 24 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:03,760 Speaker 3: coming back today, hitting the field was even better of 25 00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,760 Speaker 3: just getting back out flushing it right, getting our guys 26 00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,200 Speaker 3: back to doing football, and we just got to continue 27 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:12,200 Speaker 3: to play football better. And so that today was the 28 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,880 Speaker 3: start of that, and if we continue that focus as 29 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:16,960 Speaker 3: we go throughout the week, will end up in a 30 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:18,399 Speaker 3: really good spot versus Tennessee. 31 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 4: Could you said something in your press conference that stayed 32 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,720 Speaker 4: with me. You're like, get the ball right, like get 33 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:28,520 Speaker 4: right playing ball? And I like that saying because it is. 34 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,000 Speaker 5: Getting back to the blocking, the tackling, the fundamentals. 35 00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,399 Speaker 4: I know, even at the NFL level, you still in 36 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 4: some sense those things that got to be a focus. 37 00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:36,840 Speaker 2: Do they not? For sure? 38 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 3: It goes back and I know it's like a broken record, 39 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:41,400 Speaker 3: but it goes back to the fundamentals of the game, 40 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,800 Speaker 3: like can we sustain a block and finish a block? 41 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,560 Speaker 3: And now we got to crease right? Can we be 42 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 3: at the proper depth on our route? Can we execute 43 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 3: it the right way? Can we be more firm and protection? 44 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,440 Speaker 3: Can we have our eyes right defensively? Like can we 45 00:01:56,480 --> 00:02:00,080 Speaker 3: fit the run the proper way? Understanding the block, recognition 46 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 3: that we're getting, so all of those things. 47 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 2: It's just it's football, right. 48 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 3: If I step back and as I reviewed the game 49 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 3: and I kept going through it, it's just for me, 50 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,800 Speaker 3: it's like, are we doing football the right way? And 51 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,640 Speaker 3: that just goes back to are my eyes right? Do 52 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 3: I know? Knowing what to do, knowing how to do it, 53 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,639 Speaker 3: and then getting it done. So that's a lot of 54 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 3: like what I talk about execution after the game, Like 55 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 3: that's what it comes down to, Right, We had our 56 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:30,120 Speaker 3: opportunities to make plays, like, but are we going through 57 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,640 Speaker 3: the progression the proper way? Are my eyes the right way? 58 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 2: Like? 59 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:39,080 Speaker 3: Am I sticky in coverage? Am I finishing my rushes tackling? 60 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 3: Am I security and attack or wrapping up? Or am 61 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:43,799 Speaker 3: I just throwing the arm out there? Or am I 62 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:45,520 Speaker 3: running my feet once I secure? 63 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 2: So it's all. 64 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 3: Those little things that kind of goes unnoticeding games and 65 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,840 Speaker 3: you kind of talk about the big plays in this moment, 66 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 3: momentum all those things, but once the ball is snapped, 67 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,160 Speaker 3: want our guys to be hyper focused on what they 68 00:02:58,200 --> 00:02:59,960 Speaker 3: have to do and then get it done. 69 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 1: Is that one of the big keys in building confidence 70 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,400 Speaker 1: because I know you want to go into the postseason 71 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,920 Speaker 1: with some confidence and whatever happens in the game against Tennessee. 72 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:09,919 Speaker 1: Happens in the game, But you have all these practices 73 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 1: until you play a playoff game, right. 74 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure that goes into that confidence. Like confidence 75 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 3: is earned and I truly believe in it. Like to 76 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:19,800 Speaker 3: gain confidence, you got to go do it right over 77 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 3: and over repeatedly, Like when you repeatedly do things the 78 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 3: right way, that's how you get confidence in what you're doing. 79 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,959 Speaker 2: So for us, that's practice reps. That's walked through reps. 80 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 3: Everything you do, is it the right way every single 81 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,640 Speaker 3: If it's not, so, I'm telling our hey, start it over, 82 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 3: redo it, like you got to bank good reps, And 83 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 3: that's how you get confidence.

No matter how 128 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 1: you handle it, how do you handle that with the team. 129 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a weird situation, right, but it's for me. 130 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 3: I go back to what can we focus on right, 131 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,480 Speaker 3: focus on what we can't control, Focus on the present, 132 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,800 Speaker 3: and right now, the present is, you know, we have 133 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,359 Speaker 3: to play better football. We got to go out and 134 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,599 Speaker 3: we got an opponent versus Tennessee who beat us earlier 135 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,040 Speaker 3: in the year that we need to go out and 136 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 3: play good against our division opponent. 137 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 2: We need to go and win this game. Like, that's 138 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 2: my focus. 139 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,800 Speaker 3: That's what's important right now, like and the playoffs will 140 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 3: handle that when it comes. But as of right now, 141 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 3: how do we handle this? Like it's all focused on Tennessee? 142 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 4: Right. 143 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 3: We know we have ahead of us ahead of us 144 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 3: with the playoff, but to me, it is are we 145 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 3: playing our best football going into the playoffs? 146 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:34,360 Speaker 2: Right? 147 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 3: You want to be kind of gain that confidence as 148 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 3: you go into no matter who we play, who we face, 149 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,039 Speaker 3: we don't know that yet, so it really doesn't matter 150 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 3: that we can't control that. What we can't control is 151 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:47,479 Speaker 3: how we play versus Tennessee. 152 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 1: And you're probably not able to have the kind of 153 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 1: practices you'd really want right now, which is full pads 154 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 1: for three days in a row or something like that. 155 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:54,360 Speaker 5: Coach, I'm discussed it. 156 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 1: Correct me if I've wrong, But how do you handle practice? 157 00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,360 Speaker 1: You said the fundamentals things like that, You can still 158 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,680 Speaker 1: focus on those things without the pads and the hitting, right, yeah, 159 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:02,920 Speaker 1: you can. 160 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:04,360 Speaker 2: You can't focus on those things. 161 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,040 Speaker 3: And it's been a while for us since we put 162 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 3: the pads on because We had the short weeks, right 163 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:12,680 Speaker 3: with the three games in eleven days, So there's only 164 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 3: so much you can do with putting the pads on 165 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:19,119 Speaker 3: and how much you know, how much is on guy's body. 166 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 3: It's a lot to play that amount of games and 167 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 3: such short amount of time. 168 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 2: So you know, now, I think. 169 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 3: Guys have had a little break, they're refreshed, So now 170 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:29,240 Speaker 3: it may be a time to go ahead and put 171 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 3: the pass on to get back to the basics of blocking, tackling, 172 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,600 Speaker 3: just filling it one more time before we go into 173 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 3: our last game of the season. 174 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 4: Coach, Like Tennessee, there are sixteen games they've already put 175 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 4: on film, but you did playing within the last five 176 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 4: to seven weeks. Seemingly it feels like a long time ago, 177 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:51,120 Speaker 4: but it really wasn't. So a how much does that 178 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 4: game give you an opportunity to look back and go, Okay, 179 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:55,360 Speaker 4: this is what happened. They're gonna probably do a lot 180 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,240 Speaker 4: of things that are similar. Be As you are going 181 00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 4: through that game and you're trying to take notes and 182 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 4: do things, are you getting more frustrated, going, God, dang it, 183 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,080 Speaker 4: how did this happen to us on that particular day. 184 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 2: I'm happy I stopped that game before I came down. 185 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 3: But now I started to get a little frustrated with 186 00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 3: that game because it's some of the same, you know, 187 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 3: things that kind of show up that are all things 188 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 3: that we can control. And so going back to I 189 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 3: know they're starting a different quarterback now, Mason Rudolph, which 190 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,440 Speaker 3: was you know, we went against Levis who knows. You 191 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 3: may see both guys, but for us, like man, it 192 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,840 Speaker 3: doesn't matter what tennessee does. I think schematically, you know, 193 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 3: offensively defense, they'll attack us the same. 194 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,120 Speaker 2: But it's about like, how are we showing up? 195 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,760 Speaker 3: And that's all I want to see, Like it's kind 196 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 3: of throw out the preparation and all those things. We're 197 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 3: not doing anything new. I want to see what we've done. 198 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:47,840 Speaker 3: Can we do it better? 199 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,480 Speaker 1: Well, we're just talking about it as we are in 200 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 1: the studio here. The Dolphins game was two weeks ago, 201 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 1: two weeks in a day ago, and it feels like 202 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,839 Speaker 1: a month ago, right, and yet a lot of activity 203 00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,599 Speaker 1: between then and now. How good does it feel to 204 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 1: be on a qui normal week so to speak. You 205 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 1: didn't even play yesterday, so you had that extra Monday practice. 206 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 2: So much time. I don't know what to do with myself. 207 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:07,720 Speaker 2: You know, it's refreshing. 208 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 3: I would say that it is refreshing to actually not 209 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:14,840 Speaker 3: feel rushed through preparation. So I think I think it'll 210 00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:17,960 Speaker 3: help everyone, like to actually get better at the things 211 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:20,600 Speaker 3: we need to get better on. We need to practice more, 212 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,600 Speaker 3: we need to spend more time meeting and those things. 213 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,319 Speaker 3: So get in a normal week this week is very 214 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,560 Speaker 3: beneficial to the progress of our team. 215 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 4: Coaches Division game news flash. I knew you knew that 216 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 4: you played against them a number of times. Now you've 217 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:38,760 Speaker 4: coached against them a number of times. Does it do 218 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,280 Speaker 4: you have what's the right way of saying this. I 219 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:42,760 Speaker 4: don't want to ask you if you hate the Titans, 220 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:46,560 Speaker 4: but did that feeling of kind of rivalry, like, yeah, 221 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:48,120 Speaker 4: this is a team that you really get up for. 222 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 5: I know you guys when you were playing against them, 223 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:52,240 Speaker 5: there was some bad blood between you both teams. 224 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 4: At a point, do you kind of have that with Tennessee, 225 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 4: Like when you see them on the field, does that 226 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:56,400 Speaker 4: give you. 227 00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:58,680 Speaker 5: Like a little bit more of a little little joke 228 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 5: because it is the Titans? 229 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 2: It does. 230 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 3: I've had my battles with the Titans. They've gotten us, 231 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 3: We've gotten them. So it's always been I think, kind 232 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 3: of bad blood with just you know, just the whole 233 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:14,680 Speaker 3: organization leaving Houston. So's you feel that. I felt that 234 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,319 Speaker 3: as a player. I feel that now as a coach 235 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:20,760 Speaker 3: as well. So there is bad blood. Everyone knows that, 236 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 3: and our guys feel that and let that fuel them 237 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 3: to go out and play. 238 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:24,400 Speaker 2: Well. 239 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,560 Speaker 1: Take nothing away from what they did here at NRG Stadium, 240 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 1: But when you look at that tape, do you see 241 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:31,959 Speaker 1: a lot of mistakes made and correctable things. You like 242 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,560 Speaker 1: to point out things that the Texans can control, and 243 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 1: if you clean that up, things should go better. 244 00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's it. 245 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 3: We have to clean up our house first and foremost, 246 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:41,920 Speaker 3: and we clean those things up. 247 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:43,360 Speaker 2: That's what happened in that game. 248 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:45,760 Speaker 3: Like we're up in that game, we're in a really 249 00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:49,520 Speaker 3: good spot and we allow just a simple crossing route 250 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 3: to go the distance for a touch that which shouldn't happened. 251 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 3: So it's if we make a play there, the game 252 00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,160 Speaker 3: is completely different. And there are several other plays in 253 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:01,079 Speaker 3: the game we can make. That one just sticks out 254 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,040 Speaker 3: to me. The most of things that we can control 255 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 3: just playing with better eye discipline right and being in 256 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,800 Speaker 3: the right spot. Erasing the play when it does happen, 257 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:10,080 Speaker 3: taking better angles. 258 00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:11,920 Speaker 2: To the football. So those things. 259 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:15,080 Speaker 3: It kind of it still eats at me a little 260 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,040 Speaker 3: bit when I go back and watch that game, but 261 00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 3: I also eat set me. But I'm encouraged because it's like, 262 00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 3: I know we can do better, and it's broad. If 263 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 3: it's something else that happens and they get us on 264 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:28,720 Speaker 3: a play, great, But if it's something that I know 265 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:32,640 Speaker 3: we've worked things that we've done before, Like let's go 266 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,320 Speaker 3: out and let's do ball better, right, and then let's 267 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:37,680 Speaker 3: see what happens that actually gives us a chance to 268 00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,960 Speaker 3: actually compete. Like and that's what kind of eats at 269 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,319 Speaker 3: me a lot too. It's like, man, are we really competing. 270 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 3: It's like, no, We're going back to the basics, fundamental eyes. 271 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:48,400 Speaker 2: Where am I looking? Where should I be? 272 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,320 Speaker 3: Like, let's nip that in the bud and let's line 273 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:53,640 Speaker 3: up and I know where I am. I'm sticky on 274 00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,480 Speaker 3: the route. Now let's make a competitive play and get 275 00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 3: the ball out. 276 00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:01,440 Speaker 4: Coach, We've talked about this a little bit, but Kamari 277 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 4: makes that big, big play the other day for the safety. 278 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 4: And we talked about rookies and you know, hitting a 279 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,600 Speaker 4: rookie wall and doesn't feel like he's hitting a rookie wall. 280 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 5: Now he might be feeling it, but it doesn't look like. 281 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,240 Speaker 4: You with the way that he's coming up and arriving 282 00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:17,080 Speaker 4: at the football and making plays. Are your young guys 283 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,600 Speaker 4: at this point of the year. Are they staying pretty strong? 284 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,520 Speaker 4: Even though this is week seventeen, on top of three 285 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:25,520 Speaker 4: preseason games in at Tripto, Ohio and starting practice on 286 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,360 Speaker 4: July seventeenth, You've seen your rookies kind of hanging with 287 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 4: it and staying pretty strong at this point of the year. 288 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 2: Yeah. 289 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:33,280 Speaker 3: I commend our rookies. I think they've handled it really well. 290 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,959 Speaker 3: They're handling strong. Kamarai has been doing a great job. 291 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:39,720 Speaker 3: Kamari probably tackled the best in our game yesterday, I 292 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:43,560 Speaker 3: mean yesterday versus Wednesday, versus Darick Henry. He did a 293 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 3: really nice job of, you know, creating a spark for 294 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:49,200 Speaker 3: our team, getting a safety, huge play for us. He's 295 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:54,440 Speaker 3: continued to get better and he's handled the season well. Kaylin, 296 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,520 Speaker 3: Blake and Caate, all those guys, they're handling well. 297 00:12:58,520 --> 00:12:59,960 Speaker 2: Even though I know he's weighing on them. 298 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,600 Speaker 3: It's hardest, the longest you play the longest season you've had, 299 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 3: the most football you've played, and but those guys aren't. 300 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,400 Speaker 3: They aren't making excuses, they aren't complaining. They're going out 301 00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:12,319 Speaker 3: there working and they're continuing to trying to improve. 302 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,000 Speaker 1: Coach, what can you tell the listeners and viewers about 303 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:16,800 Speaker 1: the ground game and what it's going to take to 304 00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:18,760 Speaker 1: improve there, because I know you want to see yourself 305 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,120 Speaker 1: run the football better. We talk about this from time 306 00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:22,720 Speaker 1: to time. You've seen some good things, you've seen some 307 00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:24,880 Speaker 1: things you want to clean up. What can you do 308 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:26,720 Speaker 1: to make it better at this time of year? 309 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,280 Speaker 3: And the main thing with the run game, I think 310 00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:33,240 Speaker 3: it's a just sustaining blocks. Like we're targeting. We're in 311 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:36,560 Speaker 3: a proper place, but it's sustaining blocks for longer. I 312 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:39,560 Speaker 3: think we start to down really good and we're on 313 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,680 Speaker 3: guys and then at that moment of truth, guys are 314 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,520 Speaker 3: what you gotta call it exit off blocks or shedding blocks, 315 00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:48,200 Speaker 3: getting off of blocks and make plays and they're getting 316 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,840 Speaker 3: off of us making those plays and we aren't sustaining. 317 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:52,920 Speaker 3: So I think if we can sustain blocks a little 318 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:57,440 Speaker 3: bit longer, press forward more, just going more downhill, right, 319 00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:00,720 Speaker 3: allowing Joe to get started. I think that's will open 320 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:03,120 Speaker 3: it up in the run game, just finding those creases 321 00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,280 Speaker 3: like we had earlier in the year, which when we 322 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,760 Speaker 3: give Joe the right crease the thing, he can hit it. 323 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,760 Speaker 3: But it gets muddy at times when we're you know, 324 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 3: starting outside, we cut the ball back and it's a 325 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:16,320 Speaker 3: little muddy where we're not sustaining blocks as we should. 326 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:18,559 Speaker 2: So the more we can do that, I think that'll 327 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:19,400 Speaker 2: be the main thing. 328 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 4: Coach acquiring Deontay Johnson off waivers and bringing him here, 329 00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 4: what are your thoughts about how fast you get up 330 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:28,280 Speaker 4: to speed, what you might be able to see from him. 331 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 4: What are you kind of thoughts about bringing Deontay here 332 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:31,000 Speaker 4: at this point of the season. 333 00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:33,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, no, it's late in the season, our last game, 334 00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:36,320 Speaker 3: we add a new guy to our roster. But we're 335 00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 3: I told you, guys, throw the kitchen sink at and 336 00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,680 Speaker 3: let's see what he can absorb, see what he can handle, 337 00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:42,920 Speaker 3: and go out here versus Tennessee and let's see what 338 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:45,560 Speaker 3: he can do. We know he's a talented player. He's 339 00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:49,200 Speaker 3: he's proven that at multiple stops. It's just a matter 340 00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:51,960 Speaker 3: of him that's coming in and man, how much can 341 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:53,520 Speaker 3: he pick up and how can he come out and 342 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:54,320 Speaker 3: help us? 343 00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:56,160 Speaker 2: And we'll see that this game. 344 00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:59,200 Speaker 3: Try to get him some opportunities there, and some mentioned 345 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:02,160 Speaker 3: Deontay man fresh start with me, every guy that I 346 00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:04,920 Speaker 3: get is fresh start. I really don't care what happened 347 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:07,480 Speaker 3: in the past, Like it's about the present and how 348 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 3: do you attack it and how can you come and 349 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:10,160 Speaker 3: help our football team. 350 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:12,640 Speaker 1: Well, it's a great opportunity for the entire group, right 351 00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:14,440 Speaker 1: because you're still looking for that production. 352 00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:15,600 Speaker 5: It's not that long ago. 353 00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,480 Speaker 1: You lost Tank and Stefan was a while ago, but 354 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:20,920 Speaker 1: there's still catches to be made for the whole group, 355 00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:21,760 Speaker 1: right for sure. 356 00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:24,040 Speaker 2: I mean we need the depth in our receiver room. 357 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:24,720 Speaker 2: Those guys. 358 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:28,520 Speaker 3: Those guys probably run the most out of anybody during 359 00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:31,080 Speaker 3: the game, right they gain they run a lot of yardists, 360 00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,480 Speaker 3: a lot of high speed yardists. So we need the depth, 361 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:36,400 Speaker 3: we need the rotation and add a guy like Deontay 362 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:40,920 Speaker 3: I think, who's shown playmaking ability, big, big time playmaking ability, 363 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:43,560 Speaker 3: like to have another threat. I think it's huge for 364 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:46,360 Speaker 3: us with us losing Tank, losing Digs, we know we've 365 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:47,040 Speaker 3: lost two. 366 00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:48,160 Speaker 2: Of our top guys. 367 00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:51,800 Speaker 3: And to make any hay right, as you're going to 368 00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:54,400 Speaker 3: the playoffs, you need guys who are a thread on 369 00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,240 Speaker 3: the outside. And we know Nico and what he's been 370 00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:58,920 Speaker 3: capable of doing throughout. 371 00:15:58,560 --> 00:15:59,320 Speaker 2: This entire year. 372 00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,040 Speaker 3: He's out of a year like, can we just find 373 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,280 Speaker 3: more guys to help him?
