1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:01,360
Speaker 1: And driver.

2
00:00:01,760 --> 00:00:03,080
Speaker 2: He's still in the protocol.

3
00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:06,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, going over what what do you guys like about him?

4
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:11,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, just opportunity, you know, he uh, he's he's been

5
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 2: in the league. He's been on some good teams. You know, Uh,

6
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 2: somebody that can you know, with Trevor obviously not practice

7
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:21,639
Speaker 2: of being in the protocol right now, having the third

8
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 2: guy here, especially on developmental practice squad to help kind

9
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:26,799
Speaker 2: of give a look to the defense and and and

10
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 2: for us too to put put our eyes on him

11
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 2: and then and see what, you know, see what he

12
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 2: can do.

13
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:34,639
Speaker 3: What's your reaction suspension, al Shay, you got the three

14
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 3: games suspension.

15
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 2: You know, it's obviously probably not my place to you know,

16
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 2: speak necessarily on on the punishment. I think that that's

17
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 2: the league, you know, the league issue on that. And

18
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 2: and you know, as far as you know, as ease

19
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 2: goes and everything, I know, you know, good player, and

20
00:00:56,360 --> 00:01:00,080
Speaker 2: I think you know, just to play that that it

21
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 2: somehow we need to try to get get the play

22
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 2: out of the game if possible. You know, obviously I

23
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 2: stand behind our guys for the reaction. I mean, I

24
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 2: think it's a natural, it's a natural reaction I think

25
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 2: for all of us that have watched sporting events over

26
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 2: our lifetimes, things like this happen, the team is going

27
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 2: to respond, you know, and and so for our guys

28
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 2: to to respond to Trevor in that way and the hit,

29
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:35,320
Speaker 2: and you know, I support them and and and all

30
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 2: of that. But at the same time, listen, I say

31
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 2: that to say this that we we've we've got to

32
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 2: we've got to somehow eliminate these plays. These are these

33
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 2: are plays that you know, can change outcome of games.

34
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 2: And I'll say this, both teams were very professional in

35
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 2: the second half. You know, it was a clean football

36
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 2: game in the second half. It was still a hard,

37
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 2: physical football game in the second half. So that's a

38
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 2: credit to both teams, you know as well. But I

39
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 2: think it would be something that's looked at. I know

40
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 2: there's a lot of it's it's offensive guys versus defensive guys.

41
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 2: When it comes to the QB sliding and getting out

42
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:16,799
Speaker 2: of bounds and things of that nature. They've they've even

43
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 2: modified the rule for sideline you know, hits and things

44
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 2: like that. And you know, we we coach our quarterbacks

45
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,799
Speaker 2: to protect themselves, you know, get down when they can,

46
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 2: and and you know that was obviously a second down

47
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 2: play and and and you know ended up ended up

48
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 2: being a third and inches play. But you know, we

49
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:42,080
Speaker 2: just continue to coach our guys and and you know,

50
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 2: show them ways to protect themselves and and uh and

51
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 2: go from there. But uh, you know, as far as

52
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 2: the punishment and all that, I mean, I'd leave that

53
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 2: into the league's hands.

54
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 3: Demiko said, you guys overreacted on the sideline.

55
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 2: I was a little surprised. And look, I've got a

56
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 2: ton of respect for Tomika. He he's a former player.

57
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 2: I'm a former player. Motions run high. I I al

58
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 2: would say that if it happened, you know, to to

59
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,639
Speaker 2: their quarterback, I think the reaction would have been the same.

60
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 2: Quite frankly, I mean so, but but again, I look,

61
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 2: it's this, this was three days ago, and and we're

62
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 2: on to you know, we're on to Tennessee obviously, and

63
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 2: focused on that. But I I do think that the

64
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:33,359
Speaker 2: reaction is a is a natural thing for any player,

65
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 2: any team too, to feel what's are a.

66
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 4: Growth of you think from Will Levis over the course

67
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 4: of maybe from last year when you guys played to now.

68
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 2: I think I think the biggest for him young quarterback

69
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 2: is the fact that he's playing, you know, and and

70
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 2: getting the bulk of the getting the bulk of the reps,

71
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 2: and and just he's got a he's got a really

72
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 2: good arm. He's athletic, you know, and and you know,

73
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 2: you go back and just watch obviously the three games

74
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 2: they won, but there's a lot of games that you know,

75
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 2: he's had that team in position to win much like

76
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 2: us and and you know, so very similar situation, but

77
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,359
Speaker 2: continues to improve. I think he's a great leader on

78
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:24,839
Speaker 2: that team. You see that, and uh, you know somebody

79
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 2: that two can you know he can he can throw

80
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 2: the ball, you know, down the field and gotta get

81
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 2: arm strength, so you know something you gotta you gotta

82
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 2: be special aware of going back to I know.

83
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 3: You don't want to go back and see the fight

84
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 3: land Clark set after Gamon. We don't issue warnings, but

85
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 3: you set after the game that did. You guys were warned.

86
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 2: We were. The officials told us that there was a

87
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 2: no tolerance. You know, I don't necessarily know the transcript there,

88
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,039
Speaker 2: you know what he was mentioning, but both sides were

89
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 2: It was basically like, listen, guys, we gotta we gotta

90
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 2: keep our heads in the second half, and both sides did.

91
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 1: A couple of.

92
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 3: Former players Jags have said, did anything. You guys responded

93
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 3: enough after halftime.

94
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 2: I don't know what that means. We're not listen. I mean,

95
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 2: this is not it's a it's a hard, physical, tough

96
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 2: game to play. Okay, you've got to be a tough,

97
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 2: physical individual to play the sport. I don't care what

98
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 2: position and to play football. We're not out to hurt anybody.

99
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 2: We're not out to ruined careers. We're out to win

100
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 2: a football game and play hard within the rules. That's

101
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 2: our that's our job, and that's what that's how we

102
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 2: coach it, and that's how we play it. You know.

103
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 2: Do we take it to the line. Yeah, yeah, we

104
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 2: take it to the line. But more often than not,

105
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,279
Speaker 2: these games come down to just a couple of plays

106
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,039
Speaker 2: and and you know, it was just again it was

107
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 2: the case on Sunday. You know, we didn't make enough

108
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 2: plays to to really help our team win. I mean,

109
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 2: we're not again, we're not if if if if they're

110
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,679
Speaker 2: if they're asking or suggesting that we go after something,

111
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 2: we're not doing that flat out. We are not doing

112
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 2: It's not how I coach. It's not how I'm gonna

113
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 2: coach these teams, these players. We're just gonna go out

114
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 2: and do our jobs. Play hard, play fast, play physical,

115
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:42,159
Speaker 2: within the rules.

116
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 4: Mat Jones obviously had his best football the season in

117
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 4: the fourth quarter. I mean, do you is he on

118
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 4: an upswing? Did you see some things that lead you

119
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 4: to believe that if you've got to play with him,

120
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 4: you know, this week and into the future, that that

121
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 4: he's getting better?

122
00:06:55,920 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 2: Yes? Yeah, No, I thought I saw a lot of improvement,

123
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 2: you know, somebody that that really came in. And I

124
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:09,039
Speaker 2: think he has learned from the two previous starts that he

125
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 2: had and and really just ran ran the offense, ran

126
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 2: it like it's like he knows how to run it,

127
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 2: what it looks like to him. And and I think

128
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 2: that's something we can build on, you know, this week

129
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 2: if if he you know, if it looks like with

130
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 2: Trevor being in the protocol that's going that route. But

131
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 2: you know, if if he does play, then then there's

132
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 2: a trend in the right direction. And we just want

133
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 2: Mac to be Mac right, Uh, don't don't have to

134
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 2: do anything special, right, just make the plays that come

135
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 2: to him, you know, And deliver the football where it

136
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 2: needs to go, you know, put us in the right

137
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 2: run if we need to change protection. All that stuff

138
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 2: he's capable of doing. And I thought he did a

139
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 2: nice job of that Sunday. You know, we had the

140
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 2: two drive there for touchdowns and two point conversion obviously,

141
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 2: and he sees the field extremely well, great communication on

142
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 2: the sideline and all things that have shown us that

143
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 2: he's very capable, you know, to lead this team. How

144
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 2: good is this Titans d line across the board? It's

145
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:22,559
Speaker 2: one of the best all year quite frankly, They're big,

146
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 2: they're powerful. The two tackles, you know, Jeffrey Simmons is

147
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 2: one of the best tackles you know in the NFL.

148
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 2: UH sweats another one that's it's a rookie, but he's

149
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 2: he's learned, he's a he's a he's a load. And

150
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:40,320
Speaker 2: we know Arden. Arden is a very athletic and speed

151
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 2: rusher and and plays with a lot of energy. But this, uh,

152
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 2: this front is is gonna be one of the better

153
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:50,560
Speaker 2: ones we've seen, even with injuries back and it feels

154
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,840
Speaker 2: like their past defense has consistently been the top five

155
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 2: all season long.

156
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 1: Why is that?

157
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 2: You know, I think it's a it's a it's a

158
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 2: zone scheme, you know, a lot of until you get

159
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 2: to third down. They'll mix some man coverages on third

160
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 2: but really all eyes on the quarterback, all eyes on

161
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 2: the football, you know. And they they do a great

162
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 2: job of just kind of being where they need to be.

163
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:19,320
Speaker 2: And and but again it starts up front. They're very

164
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 2: disruptive upfront, you know. Landry's another one. They can get

165
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 2: after the passer. They can they can play with five down,

166
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:28,839
Speaker 2: they can play with four down. Uh, mix their fronts pressures,

167
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 2: timely pressures, and it just disrupts the timing of the

168
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 2: of the quarterback receiver. And that's what they do well.

169
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 1: Hunter and a long snapper. The other guys.

170
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 2: Brosses health for this week, both are on the injury

171
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 2: report obviously, you know. Uh, both guys you know, won't

172
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:50,680
Speaker 2: practice today. So we just need to get the We

173
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 2: just need to get the reps from that position, you know.

174
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:56,280

179
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 1: Any concern on your part these last five weeks about

180
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 1: the players being able to stay motivated with no postseason

181
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:16,319
Speaker 1: carrot available.

182
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:17,920

198
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 4: the field together over the last couple.

199
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:07,560

201
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what it's it's uh, it's tough playing

202
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 2: d tackle in the NFL. You get double teamed a ton,

203
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 2: you get reached a little bit. I mean, but he

204
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 2: he played and and and did some good things, and

205
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,080
Speaker 2: he's gonna continue to get better, you know, as as

206
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,960
Speaker 2: not only this season goes on, but but into the future.

207
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 2: And is there a possibility those two play together at

208
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 2: some point? You know, I think I think that's I

209
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:38,760
