  Speaker 1: The last time we talked to you was before Tarvor
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Lawrence was on in the reserve. Reaction to him likely
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: being done for the.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: Season, Well, yeah, I mean, obviously, you know a couple
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: of things. You know, his health is probably the most important. Obviously,
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: the the reason for IR is not this is not
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: you know, the the injury from Sunday.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: It's it's not that it's more of the shoulder, but.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: You know, it's obviously, you know, listen where we are
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: in our season, you know, a chance for him to
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: get healthy right now as he as he you know,
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: looks into the off season and next season as well,
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: getting healthy. And you know, obviously the the injury Sunday,
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: you know, doesn't doesn't help, right, but you know it's just, uh,
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: I think the right decision right now to to go
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: ahead and just shut him down and let him get
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: let him get fully healed, clear the protocol first obviously,
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: and then tackle you know, tackle the other injury you
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: know later on. So you know, that's our that's our
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: main focus right now is just to just to make
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: sure he's he's one hundred percent and get him healthy
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: and and getting you know, get himself ready for for
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: the off season. Did the childer get worse while he
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: played on Sunday or was it just playing through.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: It where the kind of decision was made bad? Yeah,
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: I think more just playing through it. Didn't get any worse.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: He didn't he didn't take any shots, you know, or
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: hits on it, and you know, so it's just a
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: matter of just it was gonna probably eventually come to that,
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: you know, surgery. But now with everything and and and
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: where our season is too, you know, this is the
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: it's never a good time. But if there is a
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: time this this would be it.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Not that I know of progress, and and it'd be
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: be up front.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: He has to clear the protocol first, you know, before
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: you can't obviously do surgery with the guy in in
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: concussion protocol. So we're gonna make sure that's that's clear
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: at first before anything is scheduled. Is he Yes, he is,
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: you know, he's he's he's doing he's doing just like
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: what you would would think, you know, in the in
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: the protocol.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: So's he's moving right along. Characterizes this year.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: I mean obviously disappointing, right, I mean, it's not what
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: it's not what I expected, it's not what the players expected.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: The team a lot of high expectations obviously, you know,
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: coming out of preseason where we were as a team,
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: and and you know it's not it's not where we
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: wanted to be, you know, not saying we were gonna
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: you know, do we weren't gonna be to say, you know,
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: you'd love to be the number one team in the
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: AFC right now, but who knows.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: I mean, you could have been.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: You could have been in the top you know seven,
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: you could have been in the top ten, top three, whatever.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: But it's just it's disappointing, you know, for me personally,
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: for the team. I know the players that feel the
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: same way, and you know, I just gotta just take
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: it all in stride and and finish the finish the
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: season strong.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: Specifically, though, how would you be there the rest of
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: his season?
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: I would say probably the same.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: I think it's you know, the same as where where
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: you know I am as a coach, the team is
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: right now. I think I think he would feel the
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: same way. And I don't want to speak for Trevor,
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: but you know, just disappointing, you know, and and uh,
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: just something that you know, we've got to learn from
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: moving forward.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: Cut down the turnovers the way he kind of wanted
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: him to.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: I know, he played in a bridge the year, but.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: In the time that he did play.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: The year at the football, yeah, it was better.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: And you know it's something that, look, the turnovers are
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: gonna happen, and especially the quarterback position. But but he's
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: he was he was doing some good things. He was
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: really protect to the ball, and and I thought as
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: the season progressed, he was continuing to get better, you know.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: And and that's cause.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: There were there were a lot of you know, go
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: back to the beginning of the season, a lot of
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: expectations obviously, right with the with the new contract and
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: all that kind of stuff, and working through that and
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: dealing with that and then putting that behind him and
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: and just focusing on ball and and uh, you know,
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: he's such a competitor. And and that's why I love
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: being around him and coaching him, cause you you kept
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: seeing it each week, the improvement with him, improvement with
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: the team, and just continuing to to kind of grow
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: as an offense.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: It just wasn't all coming together.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: And I'm when I say offense, defense, special teams wasn't
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: all like playing that complimentary piece.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Of football that you need, you know, to win games.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: So when you look.
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: At this season, even just the last twelve weeks big picture,
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: knowing you guys are one and eight in one score games,
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: do you reflect and say, hey, it really came down
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: to and games, ball bounce a different way. This could
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: have been a complete, completely different season.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: I think I think it's it's it's.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: Doesn't make me feel any better, right, It's something that
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: you try to you coach your coaches, you coach your
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: players that these games are gonna come down to a
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: couple of plays a game, and and somehow we got
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: to figure out how to get those plays to go
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: in our in our direction and and overcome that. And
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: so you know, as we look back, I mean, we
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: got five games left and and we want to finish
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: strong obviously, and but but we get an opportunity to look.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Back on it, I think that's what's going to be
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: sort of glaring.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: At us or just those those plays, you know, whether
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: it's offense, defense against special teams, but those are those
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: are the things that we have to overcome as a
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: football team in order to have consistency in winning.
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: Our Logan and Ross expected to be out this week practice.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Yet both those guys will practice today. We'll see where
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: they're at.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: Both practice today and and should be should be okay,
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: See where Tyson is today. He's he's kind of been
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: limited all week, but expect him to practice and we'll
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: see after practice today.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: What's Josh Reynolds break to that table?
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: You know, Josh a veteran guy you put on the tape.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: He's obviously been in a couple of spots and and
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: he's been you know, a guy that's he's a big, bigger, taller,
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: you know, athletic receiver. Again, gives us depth where we're
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: obviously missing Christian and and Gabe and and definitely gives us,
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: you know, something that that we can uh continue to
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: develop that room.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: I think.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: It helps us in in in the in the the
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: way that you know, we're trying to we're trying to
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: win these games. You know, we're trying to go out
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: and and play well and and uh, he gives us
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: an opportunity to do that. And and so we're excited
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: to get him going a little bit.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: You know, and and seeing how he can help.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: Obviously it's a history with him being him last year,
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: but what kind of challenge is Calvin just present on
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: tape for the defense.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: I just think his you know, obviously his speed and athleticism.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: Right, He's he's such a and he's he's an he's
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: an excitable, inner, energetic guy. And and that's what he
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: brings to them offensively, and and you know, uh, a
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: guy that you have to you know, with with the
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: speed that he has, it's real and you've got to
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: be prepared for that and and uh and be in
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: the right position so he can he can beat you
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: over the top, he can beat you across the field.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: And he's tough, and and he brings it. He brings
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: some swagger, some energy. So uh, those are all things
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: that we're gonna have to match.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: Even with the season being where it is right now.
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: Does Titans Week bring some extra juice to everyone in the.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Building or is yeah?
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: I mean, anytime you know, you play an afc UH
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: South opponent, especially Tennessee, it's always been close football games.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: They're physical games. You know.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: A couple of years ago it came down to the
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: last regular season game.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: You know, and and last year the same thing, and
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: you know, so we know what type of games these
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: are going to be.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: It's one of those games you just kind of I
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: think you throw the records out and you go play
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: and and you know, I think the team too, that
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: makes the least amount of mistakes, you know, in games
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: like this gives gives yourself a chance, you know, to
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: win it in the fourth quarter.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: So always gonna be tough, gonna be physical. Guys are
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: ready to go.
