• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Well, we talked about playing the right way, and I
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: think the guys had a great week of practice and
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: they came out and they performed.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: You know, we're on the same.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Page and they went out there executed and it paid
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: off for us. Last week, Joson lined up inside.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: If you think it's the most of the Traymon's at
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: least lined up in that area, what'd you see from
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: them there? And and did you like that? Look? Really,
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: it's just a matchups.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: Matchups we thought we could take advantage of and those guys,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: you know, get an opportunity to move around Traymon. He
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: lined up a little bit inside last year and this
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: year not as much. But you know, it worked well
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: for us and you know, something that we could use
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: going forward.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: But really it's just week to week and thought they
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: did a good job. Is that something you see more
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: in Traymon's future. Well, really, it just depends on the matchup.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: There's guys inside that we'd like the matchup as opposed
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: to the guy outside.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: We'd be you know, able to move him inside.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: He's such a versatile player and he's a guy that
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: will do anything you ask of him. It's really good
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: to have those type of guys on the team to
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: be able to plug in different spots for other guys
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: to take advantage of possibly a matchup on on the
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: other side.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: What did you say.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: About Once Sunday, not even an hour after he breaks
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: the record, he's on the plain saying that he expects
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: trade Line to break that same record.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: I think you see the talent.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: I think he really does, and he's had a hand
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: in developing that. And I think, uh, just like Klayus
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: was with him, you know, showing him the way and
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: then you know, just.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: Like you would teach your younger brother.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: You want your younger brother to average more points than
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: you and basketball in high school.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: So that's the way he is. And you know, it's
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: great to.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Have one of your leaders that's a humble guy and
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: that's a team guy.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: And you know, we think the world of him.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Got the proval not what did you think about the
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: season forty ones have him?
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: It's a bunch of hard work that's paying off.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: You go back and you think about when we first
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: got here and the season he had, the first season,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: and the opportunities he missed, and then he dedicated itself
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: and went back and you know, said that he was
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: gonna finish and he's doing a great job.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Is really good as the coordinator. When you have a
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: player come.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Off the field and said, I got your coach, and
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: he says that a bunch. And when he says that,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: I know he's going out there looking out for the
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: team and he has us and he's carrying us right now.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: And we got other guys that are playing at a
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: high level, but Josh is one of those guys that
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: when it's time to show, he's showing.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: And you know, we're happy for How much.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Of a confidences was it for Tyson to have the
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: game that he did against.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: The Panthers after local last week where he kind of
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: had to sit out second half.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: I think just getting back in getting his body right.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: You know, it's hard for your mind to be in
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: the right spot if your body's not where it is.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: And I think body feels better and his mind's in
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: the right spot, and he went out there, he played good,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: and you.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: Know he'll get better this week and continue to get better.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Tyson's the guy that, just like all of us, you know,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: if something good happens, we accept it, we move on.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Something bad happens, we accept it, We get back to
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: work and we move on. That's just the way we
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: are around here. And win after a loss, it's always
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: good to get back to work because just after the shutout,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: I had a bunch of things that we need to
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: get better at.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: And that's the way we go about it. Whether we
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: win or lose, we.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Come back, go back to work and understand that the
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: job's not done yet.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: We have to go out there again and continue to
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: get better.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: And tell you, Jonathan looks like is he taking a
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: hold of that slot job? I think the Really it's
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: good for us because we can rotate guys. We can
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: rotate Trey and on third down, Antonio on first down,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: vice versa, just depending on what the calls.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Are and who we're playing against. And he's the guy
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: that the game's not too big for. Is a rookie
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: and he's a playmaker, and you want that.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: You want guys that when you're thrown out there, the
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: lights don't get too bright for you, and you go
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: out there and you perform, it's like you're performing practice
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: and he's making plays. He'll continue to make plays. We're
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: happy for him, But that position, I think with Trey
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: and with Antonio, we have a group that you know,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: kind of solidified that spot.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: Never making plays for us, a surprising quality for a
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: rookie where the stage isn't too big for him. It's
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: it's really not.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: He's drafted, He had a little bit of injuries coming
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: uh early on in the season. Now he's really starting
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: to show what he can do. You know, as a rookie,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: you always have to earn your stripes, and he's earned
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: them and then given the opportunity to play, he's gone
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: out there and he's continued to earn those stripes saying,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: you know, we look up making interceptions, making sacks. He's
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: a guy that you know, he's a playmaker for us.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: And the more guys we can throw out there that
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: can make a play, the better we are helping those
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: who Derrick hen please his final game, I mean maybe
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: an overols up there again.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: Ring and how much focus do you have on stopping
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: you run this street? That's Tennessee. That's just division.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: You understand when you get there that you have Henry
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: have guys down in Texas and you gotta have a
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: guy in Indianapolis.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: We have a and we have our guy here.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: We have a division that has a bunch of good runners,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: and Tennessee they're a physical, run first team with quarterbacks
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: that can throw the ball in the right spot. So
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: we understand that coming in here knowing Tennessee they're gonna
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: be running the ball, they're gonna be making the game physical,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: and we understand that, and we know it's a big
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: challenge for us. He's a guy that he's done it
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: for a long time in this league, and he's done
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: it at a high level, and he continued to do
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: it at a high level play this game. If you
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: played against guys who were finishing your careers, do you
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: expect to get a little extra from a guy who
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: put the ninety nine yard touchdown.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: And run up over the board and they're gonna make
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: a big deal of it and try to create a
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: lot of how you've been as you expect a little
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: something extra from the issue.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Well as right now, you really don't know if uh
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: It's is the last one. He's playing at such a
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: level that you know he has three or four, five, six,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: seven years left to play. But whatever happens in Tennessee,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: we understand that when you're leaving and you've been at
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: the place for a long.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: Time, and you wanna go out on a good note.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Guy's gonna play for you, and you know we're expecting
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: to get their best shot and we'll be ready for him.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: You guys have everything on the line. They're playing for
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: pride at this point.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: As a defense, how do you have to be on
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: your toes because.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: You gotta be worried they're gonna throw everything they got,
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: trick plays, whatever is in the bag. And did that's
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: a that's weekly weekly.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: We talked to a guys about you never know when
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: it's gonna happen until it happens, and you prepare yourself
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: for different type of formation, different type of trick plays.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: And go back in.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: I think we've gone back five years just to understand
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: possibly what could happen. Let the guy see the plays
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: and hopefully a little muscle memory will you take over.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, we understand that
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: what type of game that's gonna be.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: I think they're.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Leading the league or in the last seven weeks with
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: gadget plays, so we understand they're gonna go out there
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: and do a little bit of that and we'll be
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: ready for it.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: Another Josh got in and deserve mos of them to
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: the pro.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: But what was your reaction when you learned that boy
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: he didn't get it after the season back he's happened
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: and even the stuff that.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: He did last year.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: That's the thing I talked to the guys this morning
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: about our room. In my view, we have a bunch
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: of guys, you know, I think I don't know if
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: altenates have been released yet, but we have a bunch
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: of guys that are deserving. But at the end of
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: the day, you play for the guy next to you,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: and the guy next to you, if he has a
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: high opinion of you as a player, that's what matters.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Because the other guys around they don't know the work
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: and what you mean to certain defenses and certain schemes.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: So you play for the guys next door next to
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: you and be able to walk into our locker room.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: And there's a bunch of guys that other guys think
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: are deserving that means the world to them. But in time,
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: those are accoladors start to come for him.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: O
