• 0:00
  Speaker 1: After last week.
• 0:01
  Speaker 2: This unit's had a really good season, maybe bumping the
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: road against the good offense.
• 0:06
  Speaker 3: How did you get ready with Derek Henry and the Titans.
• 0:08
  Speaker 4: Coming to town?
• 0:09
  Speaker 3: Well, just back to work.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: You know, anytime you don't play up to your standard,
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: you come back and you have a bunch of things
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: to work on. And we're back to work this week
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: in practice, trying to trying to get better.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: What sort of went wrong last week against San fran
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: What what were the issues?
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: I think really everything. Didn't really stop the run away
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: we wanted to, didn't take the ball away, didn't pressure
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: to quarterback enough, just uh, the whole gamut. Did you
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: did you.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: Notice right away that, okay, if this isn't going right?
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: And then what did you do I guess to sort
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: of try to mitigate that? Or what or what are
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: you thinking in terms of future game planning because of
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: this game?
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: Well, really, this is one of the ones you j
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: just throw away because when you look at it on film,
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: like you're seeing imposters guys that aren't us. And well,
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: you know, back at work this week, ready to throw
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: it out there again.
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: Uh this Sunday, the rookie quarterback, Uh coming here?
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: Away this week.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: What have you thought about Will Levis and his limited
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: action so far? When you see him, uh talented, talented,
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: big arm, can make all the throws and he has
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: some weapons, so you know he the formable challenge.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: A lot uh this last week, and they were stilled
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: they going to find success.
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: Was it more uh guys in the wrong spot or
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: they getting moved off the ball?
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Communication issues?
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: No, you just uh just technique, uh guys being in
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: the right gaps and we got uh misaligned a few times.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Then we got cut out a gap a few times.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: But it just goes back to our fundamentals, our techniques.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: We just have to do what we've been taught to
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: do and we'll get it corrected.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: I think Trevon had two quarterback hits in the first half.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Are you starting to see of that consistency just in
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: terms of pass rush and getting pressure a little more
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: and more.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: You you you can see it's happening more. But you know, overall,
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: I think his game is continue to progress. Run game,
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: he's really really solid, and you know in the past
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: game he's starting to pick it up and you know
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: he's good to see.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: What do you like about your safety look.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: We're able to if teams do move a lot, we're
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: able to stay on each other side. And you know,
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: those guys are you know, versatile, so they can cover
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: receivers at sometimes and cover tight ends, and it just
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: gives us freedom to be able to sit back and
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: get guys on the field that you know can fit
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: the run well and also be able to play coverage.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Devon's played a couple of games. Now you know where
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: does he stand? And how much more do you want
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: to see from him?
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: It's just a progress progress. Just he's playing well, he's
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: just getting back and he's just getting things going. But
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: he'll continue to, you know, improve and just like all
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: of us, you know, each week trying to get better.
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: Have any running backs and just whether it was your
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: playing career, whether your coaching career, or even when you
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: were watching football before you even got even into college,
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: have ever seen the a running back that compares with
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: Derrick Henry in terms of n him not only being
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: the centerpiece of their offense, but them not having a
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: whole lot of other weapons to really compliment him. I mean,
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: he had a J. Brown as a receiver for a
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: few years, but I mean, for the most part, He's
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: really been a focal point more so than most.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Running backs are in their offense, even.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: Really good ones.
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: Well, I don't know about that.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: You know, you go back to my day, it was
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: you know, the running back was a focal point you
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: had you know, ran up against the r Atlanta when
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: they had to run and shoot it with ironhead Hayward
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: and they had all the receivers, but the focal point
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: of the offense was throw the ball around and let
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: him run a ball against a light box. Then you
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: go to other teams like Houston. Houston had Lorenzo White,
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: just different guys that you know back in the day
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: with the Belkalt, emmittt Smith, Like, yeah, he had Irving,
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: but it was him following that offensive line. So there
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: is it's you know running back.
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: They people like to say it's been diminished. But when
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: there's a good one out there, and we faced a
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: bunch of good ones, Uh, it's it's a tough task.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: Who do you roll with that corner?
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: Hopefully Tyson can go. Then if you can't, then we'll
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: we'll like we're comfortable with throwing g money out there. Uh, Buster,
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: he's played well for us. We have a few options,
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: a bunch of young guys that are just chomping at
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: the bit to get opportunity.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Kirt Junior got back in the next this this week.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: We how'd you think when he was kind of calling
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: an action there?
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: Would think, Well, he went out there, and you know
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: it's good to see him get back out there. Played
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: a little special teams early, then he played a defense
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: once Tyson went down. So it was good to see
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: him get back in action. And you know, hopefully we'll
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: see more of it.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: Just money, Uh great, yes, yes, yes, how have.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: You seen the players? I guess just respond to what happened.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: Just moving forward.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: Now, well you look at it. Uh, you know, after
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: a win or after a loss, you know, you have
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: a period of time that you get over and you
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: put it away because if you're not, you're gonna be
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: focused on it too long. And you know, whether it's
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: a win or a loss, you come back, come back
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: to work, you correct the mistakes and then move forward.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: And that's what we're doing.
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: Last week, keep telling the guys we look on a
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: film that's not our standard, so that's not us. So
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: now we get another chance for Sunday to go back
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: out there. And do it the right way.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins still kind of got dictate coverages and really
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: be that alpha receiver.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a he's the number one. He's a guy
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: that you have to know where he's at at all times.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: And the quarterback really understands that he can push the
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: ball to him and he makes a bunch of contested catches.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: And they have other receivers, but he's a guy that
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: I think he's really comfortable throwing the ball to and
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: he's making plays for him.
