Yeah, I've done that. We've done that before 21 00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:05,039 Speaker 2: where the coordinator has called it, so uh, not. 22 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:08,400 Speaker 4: Strange with why what did you see from him? 23 00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:08,800 Speaker 5: This week. 24 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:13,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, he looks like himself. He's uh moving well, so 25 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:16,039 Speaker 2: like a couple of days amazing. 26 00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:16,280 Speaker 4: Yeah. 27 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:18,119 Speaker 2: And you also, just based on the rules, if I'm 28 00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,240 Speaker 2: not mistaken, you have to listen before they're elevated. You 29 00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:21,759 Speaker 2: have to listen as questionable. 30 00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:26,080 Speaker 6: What roles do you think in responsibility? Do you think 31 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,400 Speaker 6: that or do you plan on assuming or honing in 32 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 6: on on Sunday that you think will give this team 33 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:31,759 Speaker 6: a better chance to win on Sunday. 34 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:33,039 Speaker 2: Well, you're saying to me. 35 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 6: Daniel, Yeah, with not call, not playing, not calling play, 36 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:37,839 Speaker 6: He's like, what responsibility is the role do you think you're. 37 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, obviously it's not something that I've done as a 38 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 2: head coach before. But obviously if you're standing there and 39 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:44,679 Speaker 2: you're not calling the players, you're not staring at the 40 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,480 Speaker 2: call shit, it gives you the ability to maybe impact 41 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 2: the game elsewhere and help a coach or give a pointer, 42 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 2: do a player, that type of thing. 43 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 6: Okay, And then I know yesterday Ken sab that he 44 00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 6: was leaning on calling plays from from upstairs. Do you 45 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 6: anticipate because he's working with the quarterbacks, that you anticipate 46 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 6: in Ashton Grant will kind of have a big rumble 47 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 6: that's potentially yes. 48 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:08,800 Speaker 7: Okay, Kevin end up drunk out, but he was out 49 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,079 Speaker 7: of practice today for the first time this week. 50 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 8: So just what did you guys see from today. 51 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, naturally he's starting to get back where he can 52 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 2: move around have him having him out there for individual 53 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,680 Speaker 2: period is the next progression in that rehab. So he's 54 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 2: he's getting there. 55 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 5: You you mentioned, Uh, the one is as an option 56 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 5: as a left tackle. How much has he worked over 57 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 5: the course of this, you know, training camp in this 58 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,360 Speaker 5: season at at that position? I know it's yeah, you 59 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 5: know that those positions are the kind of rotating. 60 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:40,799 Speaker 2: Door A lot of times with swing tackles when you're 61 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:42,920 Speaker 2: not starting, you have to be able to get reps 62 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 2: on both sides. Uh, you know with different players. Some 63 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,959 Speaker 2: guys have played over there in college or maybe have 64 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 2: played there a little bit in the preseason, So we 65 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 2: just have to mix those guys in. Kevin, this is 66 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:54,119 Speaker 2: the sixth. 67 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 9: Straight week where you have had to shuffle your offensive line. 68 00:02:58,160 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 8: How much of a factor has that. 69 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 9: Be for some of the struggles that you guys have 70 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:06,399 Speaker 9: had finance some conculity offensive layer. 71 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,519 Speaker 2: Obviously, as you guys can imagine, you want all five 72 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,919 Speaker 2: to play the entire season. That's not realistic. Doesn't happen 73 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 2: very often. I don't know that it's happened since I've 74 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 2: been here. I don't have we played all five probably not. So, Yeah, 75 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 2: it's just part of it. But we don't look at 76 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 2: that as anything other than it's an opportunity for somebody 77 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 2: else to step up. 78 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 8: You said you wanted to see how Dorian through this 79 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:31,360 Speaker 8: week and we to figure hunting. 80 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, he looked good to me. He'll be the backup 81 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 2: on Sunday. Yes, Kevin, How have you seen James kind 82 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 2: of embrace this opportunity throughout the week. Yeah, honestly, I've 83 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 2: seen the same Jamis every single day. He embraces every day. 84 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 2: He's one of, if not the first guy in the building, 85 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 2: one of the last guy to leave. Type of player. 86 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 2: He works hard at his craft, so I don't see 87 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 2: a big difference in his day to day. But he's 88 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 2: he's ready for the opportunity. 89 00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,279 Speaker 10: How fast is Bailey Zapp being picked up one things? 90 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, very quickly. Yeah, he's he'll be the emergency quarterback, 91 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:04,840 Speaker 2: but he's picked it up very quickly. 92 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 11: If Dorian continues. 93 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 12: To come along like this, do you do you think 94 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 12: he'll get back in starting lineup at some point? 95 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 2: So, yeah, I'm so weak to week with that, Mary Kay. 96 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:16,800 Speaker 2: Like I've told you guys many times, I feel very 97 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:20,720 Speaker 2: strongly about both guys. Uh. So we'll deal with it 98 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:21,279 Speaker 2: week to week. 99 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 6: After Elijah's snaps were limited last week, do you anticipate 100 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:27,239 Speaker 6: came kind of getting back. 101 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 4: To the normal reps? 102 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 2: I do, he will? Is it the same need that 103 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:39,360 Speaker 2: yes or yeah. I'm not going to go speculate there, 104 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 2: but just wasn't ready this week. Kevin. 105 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 12: When you look at kind of how the players felt 106 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 12: about the fan reaction to Deshaan going up down with 107 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 12: the Achilles, how do you think the mindset is going in? 108 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 12: Did you address that with your players at all? And 109 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,480 Speaker 12: can you just talk about the fans and the. 110 00:04:56,200 --> 00:05:01,600 Speaker 2: Relationship we talked well, I talked about it previously. Uh. 111 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 2: We have the best fans in the National Football League. 112 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 2: They have supported us, They've supported this football team since 113 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,480 Speaker 2: I've been here. Home field advantage is a very very 114 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 2: real thing with how our our group responds and how 115 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 2: hard they make it on the other side, I'm not 116 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 2: gonna I'm not thinking much about last week other than 117 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,920 Speaker 2: to say, uh, We're excited to get back in front 118 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:24,720 Speaker 2: of our fans. 119 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 13: Kevin Ken, you sort of mentioned or alluded to yesterday 120 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 13: that you know, for this week he's the play color. 121 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 13: Within each week that could potentially change. 122 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,040 Speaker 10: Is that something that's on the table or do you 123 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 10: envision him being. 124 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 2: The Yeah, I envisioned him being for the rest of 125 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,600 Speaker 2: the season. I think as coaches, if you can believe 126 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:41,920 Speaker 2: this were day to day. 127 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 6: Good. This is sorry, I got some random miscellaneous question. 128 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 6: Look maybe like a Winston Reid. 129 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 2: Package a little bit louder Dane. 130 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:52,719 Speaker 6: Sorry, it's a kind of a miscellaneous question, but look, 131 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 6: you guys had a Winston Reed package with him kind 132 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 6: of taking the role that Nick Karroens has atle bit 133 00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:57,719 Speaker 6: Just what kind of went into that. 134 00:05:57,760 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 4: Why did you kind of decided to. 135 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 2: Put him in that role. I think you're always looking 136 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 2: for players that can fill different roles. We've put defensive 137 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 2: players back on that side before, I believe at least 138 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 2: have done in the past. We've used offensive linemen in 139 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,920 Speaker 2: different spaces, so sometimes with the roster you're looking at 140 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,920 Speaker 2: guys that can be physical, especially on the goal line. 141 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,719 Speaker 2: I thought Winston gave us that last week. We'll see 142 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:20,599 Speaker 2: if that's something that we can do this week as well. 143 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,480 Speaker 2: But it's nice having smart, tough football players like Winston. 144 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 8: When you do that, do you look in to see 145 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 8: if he's played offense in the past, or you just see. 146 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 2: If he can do it? No, good thought, I will 147 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 2: next time. No, with Winston, it's I've seen him. I 148 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:35,840 Speaker 2: know he's tough, I know he's smart. I know he 149 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,160 Speaker 2: can catch the football those type of things. You know, 150 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,719 Speaker 2: can he block and he can he move on his 151 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 2: feet those type of things. So, and there's plenty of 152 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 2: defensive linemen and defensive players that have been pining for 153 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:49,159 Speaker 2: that role for years. 154 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:50,720 Speaker 3: Oh sorry, I got one more. 155 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,160 Speaker 6: You should have you provide a little more of clarity 156 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 6: on the hem Hines the situation. 157 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 4: Later in the week. 158 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 2: No more clarity other than he's just maybe not responding 159 00:06:59,240 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 2: we needed him to. 160 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,480 Speaker 1: Running backs coach Duce Staley was next, and he talked 161 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 1: about the boost that Nick Chubb gives to the running 162 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:05,360 Speaker 1: back room. 163 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 4: Do in his first game back did good. 164 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 11: I remember coming in here last week and talking to 165 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 11: you guys about just you know, excitement as far as 166 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 11: in the building and Nick getting ready to play. And 167 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 11: the most important thing is protecting Nick from Nick. 168 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 4: It's funny because. 169 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 11: On the sideline when he did come off and I'm 170 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 11: getting certain personnel was ready to go in. Every time 171 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 11: I take two steps, he was right there. So I 172 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,600 Speaker 11: moved to the right, He's right there. I was like, okay. 173 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 11: First time, I said, I'm all right. Next time I 174 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 11: moved to the left, I turned to my right, he 175 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 11: was right there. I'm like, Nick, how about you go right? 176 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 11: So it was exciting just to the energy that he brought, 177 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,800 Speaker 11: of course to the stadium, the energy that he brought 178 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 11: to the team and being able to score a touchdown 179 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:56,040 Speaker 11: was awesome. 180 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 5: And know you're not preparing the face him. You know, 181 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 5: you don't have the game plan for him. But as 182 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 5: a fellow running as a running back yourself, what do 183 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 5: you what makes Derrick Henry so special? What what do 184 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 5: you know when you've seen him play? What separates him 185 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 5: from all the other grades? 186 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 11: Yeah, when you turn the film on, of course you 187 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 11: see a back that has great leg drive, hard to tackle, 188 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 11: no matter if short yard is, no matter what the 189 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,800 Speaker 11: situation is, you see a good back that runs behind 190 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:31,040 Speaker 11: his path as well. But a lot of people skip 191 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 11: over the vision. Yes, great vision, man, I mean here's 192 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 11: a guy. Of course, you saw it when he was 193 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,080 Speaker 11: at Alabama, the way he was running those mid zones 194 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 11: and gap schemes. He comes to the next level and 195 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,600 Speaker 11: he's able to do some of the same things, but 196 00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 11: the vision is skipped over. I think he has second 197 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 11: I mean next level in that second, next level vision. 198 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 12: Going back to. 199 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:54,720 Speaker 10: Nick, when you were watching that film, did you have 200 00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 10: like a oh that's neck or Nick's back moment that 201 00:08:57,720 --> 00:08:58,640 Speaker 10: stood out? 202 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,560 Speaker 11: I had those in practice, you know, just seeing him 203 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 11: run around the way he did last week, just preparing 204 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,600 Speaker 11: him for the week, and I I I think Kevin 205 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,640 Speaker 11: did a great job as far as putting the plays together, 206 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:17,000 Speaker 11: making sure once again we protect Nick from Nick having 207 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 11: him as far as being a decoy going out there 208 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:22,520 Speaker 11: and also getting the ball and not putting too much 209 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,480 Speaker 11: on him. I thought it was tight game plans. But yeah, 210 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:27,600 Speaker 11: I I saw Nick last week and I was excited 211 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:27,959 Speaker 11: for him. 212 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 2: Yea, he was so good. 213 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 8: I mean, one of the top whatever running backs in 214 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,720 Speaker 8: the league before the injury. Is it is it fair 215 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 8: to expect him to be the same back again, given 216 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 8: that it's two injury, two huge injuries on the same name. 217 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's fairy. Yes, I do. 218 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:46,600 Speaker 11: And it's because of our hardy work, the dedication, the commitment. 219 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,480 Speaker 11: A guy like that that, you know, he shuts down 220 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,280 Speaker 11: the building and he opens the building, and he puts 221 00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 11: in a lot of work, a lot of effort, and 222 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:56,960 Speaker 11: he's gonna keep doing it in to us, right, So 223 00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 11: that's fair. 224 00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,680 Speaker 8: He said last when we talked to Wednesday, that you know, 225 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,240 Speaker 8: he saw Russ being his first getting back and saw 226 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:07,440 Speaker 8: who I'm sorry Russ, Russia coming back. He's been thirteen months, 227 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,199 Speaker 8: you know. He mentioned tripping over himself. Do you think 228 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,320 Speaker 8: that'll go away pretty quick and he'll get back to 229 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,840 Speaker 8: feeling like he, you know, having the reps that he's 230 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:17,120 Speaker 8: always had weekend a week out. 231 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:17,600 Speaker 4: Yeah. 232 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:19,360 Speaker 11: If you know Nick like I know him, he's watched 233 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 11: that play probably ten thousand times, you know, and he's 234 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:24,640 Speaker 11: telling himself over and over again, I got to pick 235 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 11: my feet up. I got to pick my feet up. 236 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 11: But that happens, and you know, you're excited to be 237 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:32,120 Speaker 11: out there. As soon as you see a crack or 238 00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 11: something that can potentially be a hold, you go faster 239 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:38,400 Speaker 11: than usual. So, uh, Nick and I had a conversation 240 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:40,600 Speaker 11: about it, and he'll be a lot better as we go. 241 00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 12: How about because a basing number one run defense, is 242 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:51,679 Speaker 12: that an accurate representation of their run defense or does 243 00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 12: it have something. 244 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 11: To do with how the No, that's accurate?

And you got to 247 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,480 Speaker 11: turn cracks into holes as running backs. And that's what 248 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:04,719 Speaker 11: we talk about in my room, being able to turn 249 00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,440 Speaker 11: a crack into a hole and understand just take what 250 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:10,000 Speaker 11: they give you.

Well, you saw 256 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 11: it in practice also, you know, just his leadership skills, 257 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,960 Speaker 11: being able to get the guys together, get getting the 258 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,920 Speaker 11: guys in and out of the huddle, just doing some 259 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,640 Speaker 11: of those things and also keeping them after going over plays, 260 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:36,480 Speaker 11: making sure everybody's on the same page. 261 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:37,880 Speaker 4: He's a good leader. 262 00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:40,440 Speaker 8: Spent a lot of time with the team over the 263 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:42,640 Speaker 8: last several months. How just sporty was it? They he 264 00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:44,600 Speaker 8: wasn't able to come back this year? 265 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,199 Speaker 11: Of course, it's very disappointing when you know as a 266 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 11: player you're working hard. You know you're working for the 267 00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,240 Speaker 11: ultimate goal, the ultimate goals to get back out there 268 00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:55,679 Speaker 11: and play. Of course, and it didn't work out for him, 269 00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:59,080 Speaker 11: But you know, I see Naim every day comes through 270 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:02,360 Speaker 11: that door into the meeting room with a smile and 271 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 11: he's ready to learn. Also, he's helping everybody in the room, 272 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 11: so he's still engage. He's not letting that bother him, 273 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:10,520 Speaker 11: and he's also working his butt off. 274 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,160 Speaker 8: We talked about Nick can serve as a decoy for 275 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 8: offense or for defenses. 276 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:16,720 Speaker 5: They're going to give him a lot of attention. 277 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:18,480 Speaker 8: Just how valuable is it to have a guy like 278 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:20,920 Speaker 8: that where defense will give him attention that can open 279 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:22,600 Speaker 8: up the game for other people on the offense. 280 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,800 Speaker 11: Yeah, to be a decoy, it speaks about your body 281 00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,280 Speaker 11: of work over the years. And we know what Nick 282 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:30,600 Speaker 11: Chubb has been around here.

If Derrick Henry as a whole, a 426 00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:29,560 Speaker 10: full head of speed, how do you kind of prepare 427 00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:31,760 Speaker 10: them to deal with him and tackle him? 428 00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:35,040 Speaker 14: You have to rely on technique that we wrap every 429 00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:39,879 Speaker 14: day in terms of tackling right the proper way, open 430 00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,680 Speaker 14: field tacklings and emphasis. You guys, see how much you 431 00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:45,320 Speaker 14: know we work on that an individual you see me 432 00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:47,640 Speaker 14: with the goofy donut and standing on the back trying 433 00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:49,960 Speaker 14: not to get chopped every time those guys come through. 434 00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:53,400 Speaker 14: But the emphasis on those drills is really to make 435 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:55,280 Speaker 14: sure that you take your feet all the way to 436 00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:57,760 Speaker 14: the human at the point of contact and then a 437 00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:00,200 Speaker 14: violent rap on the finish. It's gonna have up and 438 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,159 Speaker 14: at the safety position. A ball is going to be 439 00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:04,920 Speaker 14: running at you in the open field. The hardest thing, 440 00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:07,840 Speaker 14: especially with football nowadays, with the lack of or the 441 00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:12,680 Speaker 14: lack of contact and practice environments, is that's toned down. 442 00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:14,320 Speaker 3: It's hard to rep that. 443 00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:16,000 Speaker 14: So you got to find ways to rep that in 444 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:18,359 Speaker 14: practice as much as possible. We'll do it again today, 445 00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:19,760 Speaker 14: we do it, try to do it every other day 446 00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:21,959 Speaker 14: at least.

Absolutely. 454 00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:43,080 Speaker 14: I don't mean to cut you off, but I'm eager 455 00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:46,879 Speaker 14: to answer. The answer is absolutely. No poodles in our room. 456 00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:50,720 Speaker 14: We talk about it. We want to be physical. There's 457 00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:53,359 Speaker 14: no shining of contact in our room. Like if you 458 00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:55,440 Speaker 14: shy away from contact. The bell is going to say 459 00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:58,760 Speaker 14: poodle in the back and he and and there's none 460 00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,280 Speaker 14: of that. We have to we have to attack this 461 00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:04,240 Speaker 14: game with the mindset of solving your problems with violence. 462 00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:07,520 Speaker 3: And it's going to be a physical match. 463 00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:07,960 Speaker 4: It is. 464 00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:11,280 Speaker 3: I mean, it doesn't matter what year or who's in 465 00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:11,600 Speaker 3: the game. 466 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:13,520 Speaker 14: When these two teams lock up, it's going to be 467 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:16,520 Speaker 14: a violent, you know fight, and you got to match 468 00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:19,879 Speaker 14: their intensity. You have to be more violent than they 469 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,359 Speaker 14: are willing to be to forgive yourself an opportunity to 470 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:25,640 Speaker 14: win the game. So one thousand percent we talk about it. 471 00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:27,520 Speaker 5: Is it difficult? I mean, with a guy like that, 472 00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:29,560 Speaker 5: I don't want to bring up a bad subject. But 473 00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:35,719 Speaker 5: thinking back to last year, the Mika Fitzpatrick hit on that. 474 00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:39,359 Speaker 5: You know, a guy like that, big physical, strong guy, 475 00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:43,320 Speaker 5: you know, you talk about hitting too high, you know, 476 00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:46,600 Speaker 5: and finding the right target zone to bring him down. 477 00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:48,879 Speaker 5: How do you avoid going too low where you know 478 00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:51,560 Speaker 5: you do you don't just risk your own injury, but 479 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,040 Speaker 5: you risk injury to the other player. 480 00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:55,159 Speaker 3: That's a good question. 481 00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:58,040 Speaker 14: I think the biggest thing you have to understand, which 482 00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:01,439 Speaker 14: is hard. People don't get this, probably as much as 483 00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:05,520 Speaker 14: they should. The areas of strike zones are highly dependent 484 00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:08,080 Speaker 14: on the area of the field and the ball carrier 485 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,840 Speaker 14: in a millisecond of time. I think that's what makes 486 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,520 Speaker 14: these people so amazing in terms of the talent of 487 00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:16,919 Speaker 14: the NFL. You know, where you track a player in 488 00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:20,800 Speaker 14: terms of the target, where you're targeting and tackling is 489 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:23,600 Speaker 14: dependent on where the ball is and who it is. 490 00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,560 Speaker 14: So a lot of times inside of the box where 491 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:29,000 Speaker 14: some of our second level guys like Grant, a lot 492 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,280 Speaker 14: of times those targets will may be more at the chess. 493 00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:35,360 Speaker 3: Level to above the thigh, above the waist because you're 494 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:38,119 Speaker 3: seeing the profile of the man. But when you're in 495 00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:38,760 Speaker 3: the open. 496 00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:41,879 Speaker 14: Field like one or sometimes Rocket, that target may drop 497 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:43,679 Speaker 14: a little bit more to the thigh board or on 498 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 14: the sideline where you're more in the open space. So 499 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:50,160 Speaker 14: it is really really dependent on who it is right 500 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:53,280 Speaker 14: and where it is and the angle that you have 501 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:56,960 Speaker 14: on the person that you're tackling. So it's a complex, 502 00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:01,880 Speaker 14: a complex answer, but that's the reality of football, especially nowadays. 503 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:05,520 Speaker 10: Going back to one, he was talking last week, but 504 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:07,119 Speaker 10: you know, obviously last year he was dealing with the 505 00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:10,159 Speaker 10: cap and three, he never felt like himself, so it 506 00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:12,080 Speaker 10: was kind of important to him to get fully healed. 507 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:15,080 Speaker 10: How difficult was that to kind of balance wanting to 508 00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,000 Speaker 10: get healthy and also, I mean, I know he played 509 00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:18,919 Speaker 10: the second half of that Dallas game with the injury. 510 00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:22,560 Speaker 14: Yeah, you know, it was hard for him last year mentally, 511 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 14: and we had to We spent a lot of time 512 00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:28,879 Speaker 14: less coaching and a little bit more psychological work. I 513 00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,000 Speaker 14: will say he did a much better job this year. 514 00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:34,080 Speaker 14: We addressed it at the very beginning. We were open 515 00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:37,919 Speaker 14: about it, his feelings, my feelings, and we just put it. 516 00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:38,480 Speaker 3: Out in the open. 517 00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:40,760 Speaker 14: Last year, it was tough for him, you know, and 518 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:42,280 Speaker 14: it kind of got to him a little bit like 519 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:45,800 Speaker 14: anyone would. Injuries are hard for these players because they 520 00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:49,040 Speaker 14: love the game and want to play. So for him, 521 00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:51,600 Speaker 14: it was all right, you know you're gonna have these 522 00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:54,960 Speaker 14: moments of frustration to get back on the field. Let's 523 00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:57,600 Speaker 14: fight that with continuing to stay locked in in meetings 524 00:22:57,600 --> 00:22:59,320 Speaker 14: and asking questions as if you're going to play in 525 00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:02,120 Speaker 14: the game, which I did regularly in meetings to keep 526 00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:04,919 Speaker 14: him activated mentally, to DENI allow his mind to drift. 527 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:06,720 Speaker 3: So it was not easy for him, for sure. 528 00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:10,000 Speaker 14: He did a much better job this year of staying 529 00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:12,879 Speaker 14: ready and present and locking in on a date to 530 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:15,359 Speaker 14: come back and be able to like Jim talked about, 531 00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:17,600 Speaker 14: bring reinforcements and energy and juice. 532 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:19,600 Speaker 3: When when when we get these guys back, which I 533 00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:20,440 Speaker 3: felt like we've done. 534 00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:24,000 Speaker 8: You mentioned the matching up with those Ravens tight ends. 535 00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:25,439 Speaker 8: What do you see out of each one of them? 536 00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:28,760 Speaker 8: I know, I think Grant mentioned likely he's increased role, 537 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:29,520 Speaker 8: and Andrews. 538 00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:30,040 Speaker 4: Is coming on lately. 539 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:32,560 Speaker 14: Yeah, you know, last year, being my first year in 540 00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:35,879 Speaker 14: the division, watching you know, watching eighty nine, I just 541 00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:38,680 Speaker 14: I walked away from both games saying. 542 00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:41,480 Speaker 3: This guy is elite and in his. 543 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:44,280 Speaker 14: Ability to move at his size, his ability to move 544 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:48,200 Speaker 14: his feet, his ability to press a ball, press a dB, 545 00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:50,520 Speaker 14: move his feet and swipe in his length and then 546 00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:53,160 Speaker 14: to catch the ball, I mean, he's just truly a special, 547 00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:53,919 Speaker 14: special player. 548 00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:55,320 Speaker 3: I'll be honest with you. 549 00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:58,280 Speaker 14: Eighty you know likely started catching my eye last year 550 00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:01,840 Speaker 14: and in spots and and now just it's not a secret. 551 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:05,159 Speaker 14: I mean, his he is, he is a pass catcher. 552 00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:07,480 Speaker 14: But what was really admirable Bo right now is his 553 00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:10,720 Speaker 14: physicality and the in the run game. But you know, 554 00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:15,560 Speaker 14: so he's becoming this truly complete player. And it's they 555 00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:17,359 Speaker 14: do a great job. I'll say their Titans coach has 556 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,600 Speaker 14: done a great job in development and you can see 557 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:22,680 Speaker 14: that really even eighty eight. You know, he he he 558 00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:25,520 Speaker 14: shows up on his yards per catch. So they do 559 00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:28,280 Speaker 14: a great job of developing that room. And and that 560 00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:31,000 Speaker 14: room has gotten better every year that I've seen.

We have 603 00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:28,159 Speaker 4: to combine that with what we use against d Henry. 604 00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:31,159 Speaker 4: So it's gonna be it's gonna be a challenge. You know, 605 00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:33,000 Speaker 4: both of us got there exceptional playing at a very 606 00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:36,359 Speaker 4: high level right now. So I just gotta just gotta execute. 607 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:41,760 Speaker 8: Usually prize it how well Henry's playing, given and he's older, No, 608 00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:42,639 Speaker 8: thirty plus. 609 00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:46,280 Speaker 4: I mean, you don't just fall off at a thirty plus, 610 00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:49,480 Speaker 4: especially with the guy who works that hard.

So I'm not 613 00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:01,639 Speaker 4: surprised to see him still playing a player high level. 614 00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:03,639 Speaker 4: But it was the key last year with him, just 615 00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:07,800 Speaker 4: get hit before he getsh Essentially, they try to get 616 00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:10,560 Speaker 4: him east and west. Try to make those sheperless feet, 617 00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:14,480 Speaker 4: don't you know, don't try to make them more patient 618 00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:16,280 Speaker 4: and dance, you know, don't let him, you know, get 619 00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:18,920 Speaker 4: downhill and you know, get to that second level. Once 620 00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:21,119 Speaker 4: it gets there, he's you know, you see what happens. 621 00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:23,240 Speaker 7: What about just the fact it seems like they're saving 622 00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:25,280 Speaker 7: a lot, which is work load for the second half 623 00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:27,960 Speaker 7: of some of these games, just them having the luxury I. 624 00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:28,520 Speaker 2: Guess to do that. 625 00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:30,040 Speaker 4: And what you have to be wary of is a 626 00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:31,000 Speaker 4: defense knowing like. 627 00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:32,920 Speaker 7: Hey, he has twenty yards in the first half. 628 00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:35,959 Speaker 4: It doesn't necessarily mean I need to do Yeah. I mean, 629 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,000 Speaker 4: they're not gonna get away from it. I mean they 630 00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:40,840 Speaker 4: have two of the most dynamic running threats of all time. 631 00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:45,159 Speaker 4: So we've got to be able to stop it, you know, 632 00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:47,760 Speaker 4: for four quarters. You know, whether it's sixty minutes or 633 00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:50,040 Speaker 4: six minutes plus, you know they're they're going to be 634 00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:52,840 Speaker 4: you know, attacking that uh that uh, that ground game. 635 00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:56,080 Speaker 4: So we gotta be able to pining ears back on 636 00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:58,400 Speaker 4: third down when when it's called for, but no first 637 00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:00,280 Speaker 4: and second down.
