1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:02,040
Speaker 1: All right, let's see this.

2
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:07,160
Speaker 2: Aliamo four divisional games the last six games.

3
00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:09,880
Speaker 1: Have you talked to the team about the opportunity here

4
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:12,120
Speaker 1: and just what does it mean.

5
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 2: To be able to play in the division basically the

6
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 2: last six team?

7
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:18,159
Speaker 1: That's huge. We did talk about it a little bit

8
00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:23,560
Speaker 1: this morning obviously for this game, and how important you know,

9
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 1: games in November and December are, specifically, but even more

10
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 1: so when when it comes to divisional games that the

11
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:34,840
Speaker 1: teams are are used to playing each other, know each

12
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 1: other a little bit, There's obviously some familiarity with both

13
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 1: of these teams and staffs. So yeah, it's huge opportunity

14
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 1: for us. These are this is why you play. This

15
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:49,479
Speaker 1: is you know, you get into these parts of the season,

16
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 1: everybody's nicked up, everybody's a little bumped and bruised. But

17
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 1: it comes down to you know, taking advantage of these

18
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:00,959
Speaker 1: opportunities and making the most of them and having that

19
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:05,679
Speaker 1: heightened sense of urgency as we get into later November

20
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 1: December games, specifically, as we get into these divisional ball

21
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 1: games that how important these are. Yeah, we talked about

22
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 1: it this morning.

23
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 2: This morning as much as you can comment on it.

24
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 2: What does that do for your depth at safety, and

25
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 2: what have you seen from some guys stepping up in

26
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 2: his place for the last few weeks and how do

27
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:24,320
Speaker 2: you keep them involved?

28
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, hopefully you know, see what he looks like throughout

29
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: the week. Great to just get him back out on

30
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 1: the grass. Hopefully you know, the communication, the ability to

31
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 1: continue to calm things down with his presence. But I

32
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 1: really believe that Antonio Johnson has stepped up in a

33
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 1: major way. I thought the last few weeks, specifically dew

34
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 1: we has also played some good football for us, and

35
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 1: Rayon Lane has stepped up in a big way, you know,

36
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: with the amount of he played the most snaps I

37
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 1: think this past week that he's kind of played throughout

38
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 1: the season and and when he's out there, he just

39
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 1: plays his tail off as he does on special teams.

40
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: So you know, getting Eric back will will definitely help.

41
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 1: We'll see what it looks like for his availability this week.

42
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 1: But been very confident Antonio Johnson is playing with as

43
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: much confidence as I've ever seen him have and his

44
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 1: impact in the game for us in a positive way.

45
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 2: Two weeks after the Houston situation there when you talked

46
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 2: about the pass rush has to improve, what's sort of

47
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,359
Speaker 2: sparked that. I know, partly some beat up offensive line,

48
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:35,679
Speaker 2: but what else has kind of sparked that.

49
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: I think that I don't really know. I mean, you know,

50
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: it's not anything crazy different scheme or anything like that.

51
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 1: I just think that, you know, when the front and

52
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: the coverage matched well in terms of whether zone or man,

53
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: you know, not allowing for the ball to them out

54
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 1: maybe as quickly as as it was able to come out,

55
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 1: and then you know, getting those guys up front going

56
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: and having them you know, being in matchups set of

57
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 1: faerual but also winning one on ones, you know, defeating blocks, uh,

58
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: straining through the echo of the whistle, you know, favorable

59
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 1: matchups like all that stuff I think goes into it.

60
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: But I do think our coverage in the back end

61
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 1: has improved over the last you know, two weeks, let's

62
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 1: call it, in terms of playing a little bit stickier,

63
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 1: having a little bit more of a feel on the

64
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: underneath zone, specifically to not get as much depth in

65
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: some of our zone coverage, having a little bit more

66
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: of a feel for our people are trying to work

67
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 1: those quick to short intermediate throws. As a linebacker or

68
00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 1: a nickel or a safety down at the second level,

69
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 1: not giving up too much ground in depth. You know,

70
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 1: I think that those all of those things combined have

71
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: helped the pass rush be able to get home more.

72
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 2: Just does Jeffrey Simmons for the Yeah.

73
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: A ton man. He's I'm not saying he's Aaron, you know,

74
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 1: but there's there's some similarities there in terms of his

75
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 1: ability to create in both the run and the past.

76
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:34,279
Speaker 1: How how quickly some of his wins come, you know,

77
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: the the effort. Like showed a clip this morning against

78
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 1: Denver where they had double chip protection, play action pass.

79
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:47,600
Speaker 1: The pocket looked extremely clean for quite some time and

80
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 1: then the ball just kind of got held onto the

81
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 1: routes maybe weren't there yet, and he just he's going

82
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,720
Speaker 1: to finish and strain through the echo the whistle. Great

83
00:04:55,839 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 1: challenge for us as a group, but he's definitely disruptive,

84
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 1: and you can see that he's believing in terms of

85
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 1: their there. They have belief as a team. There's no

86
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 1: quit in that team at all. Right now. They're actually

87
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: you know, playing better and better games.

88
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 2: Have been very close. What are you seeing out of

89
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 2: camp word in terms of his growth in these last

90
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 2: few weeks.

91
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, makes the throw on third in Excel to put

92
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 1: them in scoring position against Houston to go tie the

93
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 1: game was an incredible throw last week against Seattle, off schedule,

94
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 1: moving around more in the pocket, moving outside of the pocket, extending,

95
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 1: allowing people to kind of win a little bit more.

96
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 1: You know, he's he's definitely found I think a comfort

97
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: level in some ways of moving around more, moving within

98
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:53,159
Speaker 1: the pocket, extending plays, but also then playing in rhythm

99
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:57,159
Speaker 1: when he is in the pocket. You definitely see growth

100
00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 1: and improvement there as I think we've all maybe you know,

101
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:04,719
Speaker 1: thought was gonna come and happen for him. So yeah,

102
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 1: he's he can tell. He's just continues to improve and

103
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 1: I think using his legs and extending plays has helped him.

104
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 2: Somebody mentioned the rivalry between the Titans after you took

105
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 2: the job here.

106
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 1: I would say it was, you know, fairly early on.

107
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 1: Tony I think mentioned it to me a few times

108
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 1: with maybe some of the times he's you know, gone

109
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 1: up there and played or whatever it is, you know,

110
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 1: stories of vice versa, those guys coming down here and

111
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 1: being in Lexington, you know, not far from Nashville, like

112
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 1: you definitely heard it a little bit being out there

113
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:48,600
Speaker 1: in terms of Yeah, there is, there's a care factor here.

114
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: There's a real I guess you could call it. You know,

115
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:56,479
Speaker 1: there's a rivalry. There's an indivision game opponent that both

116
00:06:56,520 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: teams have probably you know, one game that shouldn't in

117
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:02,679
Speaker 1: one games that you know, in lost games they shouldn't.

118
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 1: Whatever it is, it's it's one of those games that

119
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:08,839
Speaker 1: we understand that anything can happen right any any given Sunday,

120
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: and it can happen, but especially in division games where

121
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 1: there's maybe just that little extra you know, want to

122
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: on both sides. So we know what this challenge is.

123
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 1: Records don't mean anything in the NFL right now mean nothing.

124
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 2: Too big, too big time. Rod from Trevor in the

125
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 2: red zone, robes of anticipation on those walker shoot just

126
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 2: the trust that he had to have from receivers kind

127
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 2: of let a few of those go befrom the back.

128
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 1: You can see it come. So how one of zero

129
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 1: blitz to Jacobi. We actually had a very similar rep

130
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 1: on Thursday and to walk through, we're doing a situational

131
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 1: and a game walk through type deal and we weren't

132
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 1: empty and our defense zero blitzed us and he retreated

133
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 1: away and through it actually the Parker. It was a

134
00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 1: similar type route, but he was playing it live and true.

135
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 1: And then he you know, gets in the game and

136
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 1: not in the game desperation, but a critical third down,

137
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 1: gotta have it play, you know, it looked as if

138
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 1: they were gonna rush for so he emptied the back

139
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 1: out and then they zeroed him. So we're in a

140
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 1: five man protection with two chippers that are releasing were hot,

141
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 1: and he just made a play and made a great throw,

142
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 1: trusted Jacoby to stick his foot in the ground and

143
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 1: get his head around in zero. And then the one

144
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 1: to Parker in the red zone as well, where he

145
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 1: had to step up in the pocket, made a great

146
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 1: peck to peck movement because the guy was swiping over

147
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 1: the top, made a great peck to peck movement in rhythm,

148
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 1: gave Parker an opportunity throw. So both of those are

149
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 1: just great examples of hey man, you just go play

150
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 1: and not try to do too much before the snap

151
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 1: and not you know, just go play and let your

152
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 1: your your talents kind of take over. And those are

153
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 1: two great examples that we can continue to build on. Parker.

154
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 2: Washington will just add on him teams to make plays

155
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 2: and the special teams and receive the game.

156
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:15,319
Speaker 1: Just yeah, he's We've all been seeing it for a while,

157
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 1: right since training camp, really he was. He's been one

158
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 1: of our top performing receivers since training camp. He's worked

159
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 1: his tail off to learn the systems since we got here.

160
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: He's one of the first guys in the building every day.

161
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 1: Uh takes super care of his body, very intentional about

162
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 1: the way that he practices and goes about his business.

163
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 1: And then on Sundays has made plays for us in

164
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 1: a lot of ways, and you know, he's definitely trusted.

165
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,559
Speaker 1: He's somebody we count on to continue to make plays.

166
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 1: And obviously the first play of overtime was a great

167
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:54,320
Speaker 1: example of that where he's you know, used in the

168
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 1: slot a lot, and you know, we put him out

169
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,080
Speaker 1: at one on a one on one opportunity and he

170
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 1: goes up and makes a play. So a lot of

171
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 1: respect for Parker and continue to help us win games.

172
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,560
Speaker 1: You guys are getting got back out in twelve personnel

173
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 1: kind of really help you guys. How has it helped

174
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 1: you guys so much? Yeah? Yeah, I like twelve personally.

175
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 1: I think it it can help be balanced in the run.

176
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 1: In the past, it helps you there and then you know,

177
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 1: some games specifically dictate a little bit. Okay, we want

178
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: to be a little bit more eleven this week versus

179
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 1: twelve based on maybe what you're getting structurally. Last week

180
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 1: was a week that we wanted to be a little

181
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 1: bit heavier, just based on Arizona's defensive structure and some

182
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,560
Speaker 1: of the things that come up in Nickel defense that

183
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 1: we didn't really want to deal with too much. And

184
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 1: those guys obviously strange coming back, but you know, Quentin

185
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 1: and Johnny and Hunter Long how much they've continued to

186
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 1: ascend and help us win games this year is I

187
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 1: like twelve and hopefully we can continue to use it.

188
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 2: Ball out at him DK's hands on the palm returns.

189
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:02,839
Speaker 2: He's done such a marvelous job.

190
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:06,199
Speaker 1: We liked it a lot coming out, you know, obviously

191
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 1: not far down the road here in Florida. Watched him

192
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 1: a ton throughout the evaluation process with somebody we were

193
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 1: had a lot of respect for in that process, and man,

194
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 1: he's he has made game changing plays or game altering

195
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 1: plays to give them boosts and give them opportunities to

196
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:29,679
Speaker 1: stay in games. You know, that's that was the guy

197
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 1: that we talked about this this morning on the Game

198
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:35,440
Speaker 1: Wreckers for Special Teams, So not just on teams, but

199
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 1: on offense where you see him catch shallow crosses and

200
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 1: he can go and take it. You know, I think

201
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:45,079
Speaker 1: they're getting more and more comfortable using him on offense

202
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 1: and confidence and on the special Teams unit. I know

203
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 1: John Fossil very well and I know he'll try to

204
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 1: scheme him to get opportunities to make play again this

205
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:56,560
Speaker 1: Sunday exit to.

206
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 2: See how your team performs if the weather does. I

207
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 2: mean it looks like it could be cold and rainy throughout.

208
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 2: Is that that challenge?

209
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 1: Yeah? November football, man, you know, I mean it's it is.

210
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 1: It's November football in the NFL. You're you got to

211
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 1: deal with the elements and you know, going and playing

212
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 1: a little colder weather. I mean, that's it's football. And

213
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 1: so I grew up in that and this is different

214
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:24,719
Speaker 1: for me. Uh, seeing palm trees out here is a

215
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 1: little new in November and and heading into December and

216
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,719
Speaker 1: here in Thanksgiving week and it's like, wait, where's the

217
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,720
Speaker 1: the tree color change and all that? But it's no,

218
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 1: it'll be a great op I mean, this is you

219
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 1: know what you why you play? Why are you prepare

220
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 1: to have games like this that you know, it's it's

221
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 1: kind of the essence of football. How be to you

222
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 1: and your team? For Yeah, I've gotten closer and closer

223
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 1: with Foyer. I think over the year the amount of

224
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 1: respect that I have for not just the football player,

225
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:09,079
Speaker 1: but the person, the leader, the man. You know, he's

226
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 1: He's definitely been a consistent rock for us in a

227
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 1: lot of ways. And the guy in the locker room,

228
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 1: the guy that you know, he's just the same all

229
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 1: the time, right, it doesn't change. He's not a chameleon

230
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 1: by any means, you know, he just he doesn't change.

231
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 1: And the way that he talks to to me, the

232
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 1: way he talks to the team, the way that he plays.

233
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 1: You know, he's been doing it at a high level

234
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 1: for a long time now, and you know, very pleased

235
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 1: with his consistency, his leadership, and he gets people to

236
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 1: the ground. He's a darn good tackler.

237
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 2: Brian working him back in but not just in terms

238
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 2: of his availability for Sunday, but also once he does

239
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:54,679
Speaker 2: come back. How does that maybe change how you view

240
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 2: that wide receiver room and how.

241
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 1: You can do it. Yeah, just we have to see

242
00:13:57,640 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 1: what he looks like obviously this week and see how

243
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 1: much you can you know, do and help us get

244
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,840
Speaker 1: out in the grass obviously, you know, we we definitely

245
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,960
Speaker 1: need his presence and get somebody out there that can

246
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,839
Speaker 1: continue to stretch the field and make big plays for us.

247
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 1: So we'll take it day by day, cause head coach

248
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 1: and do anything specially need for the media to be

249
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 1: able to have this patform. Yeah, it's definitely, you know,

250
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 1: it's it's interesting because you've gone through it as an

251
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 1: assistant and you know it's you're not in the spotlight

252
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 1: about what your cause is and so now obviously going

253
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 1: into this position, it's more it's a really cool I

254
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 1: think our organization has done a good job of kind

255
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 1: of highlighting this and and letting our players have a

256
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 1: platform to not only show as a team, but individually

257
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 1: some of the meaning behind uh their causes. They've been

258
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 1: able to do some tapes I think, you know, things

259
00:14:57,080 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 1: that have gone out and take a little bit of

260
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 1: a deeper dive into some of these players and what

261
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 1: uh their causes are, maybe some of their wives behind

262
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 1: why they play and why they do this, and and

263
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 1: obviously for us as coaches, it's it's a great opportunity

264
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 1: for us to be able to help support maybe things

265
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 1: that have affected our lives in the past. Your shoes

266
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 1: are delayed, they're coming, Yeah, they're.

267
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 2: There.

268
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's my mom pasted. Yes, she committed suicide when

269
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 1: I was twenty one years old, so you know that

270
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 1: was obviously she was sick, you know, hadline disease for

271
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 1: a few years there, and you know I was read

272
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 1: shirt sophomore in college when that occurred. So that's you know,

273
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 1: definitely in my family in terms of the She's in

274
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 1: our thoughts and prayers. So she'll be with us on Sunday.

275
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 1: Thanks
