 Well, right now working through the process of who's going to be, you know, running the defensive side of us I'm really excited about the staff, but I am working through that process of doing what's best for the players and and the Titans But excited about the group of guys that we have and You know about how we expect to play defense with the Titans Well, I'll never be as you can tell I'll never be too thin as as you can see I miss too many meals, but You know my job is to always do what's best for the team and you know my role as the head coach is to be To be around and be in meetings I think that's one of my my strengths that I feel like I can go in and be involved in in the offense and the defense and the Special teams that will continue You know, whatever path that we go down Well veteran, you know veteran presence it's The knowledgeable football coach is passionate football coach a Guy that coached me in Pittsburgh I think he'll be a great veteran presence for our You know our young group of inside linebackers Yeah, you know right now I'm still working through that process and you know, there's there's a lot of chances, but You know right now Jim's just you know focused on on coaching the inside linebackers and learning that position and getting to know Those players, you know Kamalae I always appreciated his effort and I think that was the first thing that I that I recognized and wanted to To make sure that that he knew was that you know guys that play hard for our football team and play with a great effort and finish You know, we're gonna try to find places for and I think that he It always wanted to make plays and do well and sometimes in doing that You know created Some open areas in other places and just talked to him about doing his job and making the plays that he was supposed to make And that would be plenty he did that down the stretch and was proud of him How he played and his effort and his in his toughness and again It wasn't perfect, but but I could always count on great effort from Kamalae Will we be looking at running back options? Absolutely, you know, I think that we always look, you know, John I appreciate John's willingness to involve me in the process of Finding the right players for our team and that will be at all positions quarterback running back Offensive line defensive line court. I mean, we're gonna try to find the best players in the right fit for our team You know, I think in this league You know, you're gonna have to find ways to affect the quarterback and you can either Be in really tight coverage or you can or you can rush the passer so You know, we're gonna try to do things that that get us to rush the passer that by scheme or personnel So it's important Again, I loved his attitude and his and his he was excited to learn and I think that We needed to get him healthy and get him right and From what I've seen at the end of the season when he was training and working with Frank off on the side and the trainers it looks like a player that You know, we'll be able to work with there in April and and see where he's at Well, you know, nobody loves Johnny more than me, you know, I love his attitude in the meetings and I can count on him Being engaged in the meetings and focused and willing to learn and study and improve and the more that we asked of him The more that he did and and so he you know, whether we hand the football to him or toss it to him or get him in the open field made some great catches as the season wore on and You know excited to keep working with John new and you know, we're gonna try to feature, you know The players that that can help us win and John is one of those You know Ryan did a lot of great. Thanks for us. He came in in a tough situation Let our football team and you know all those players that have expiring contracts You know, that's that's John's job and my job to help Put our football team together and we continue to have those conversations. I Want all our best over what are really good players all to all to come back, you know, that's how that goes Well, it was physical. He was durable Takes great care of himself and was able to To give us that spark that we needed that that we felt like was gonna help us Do some things not only to get into the playoffs, but to be successful, you know in the playoffs and That that goes with with the running game with taking care of the football playing great defense fundamentals and technique And I know the old line was extremely happy and did a great job for him the tight ends the receivers You know, it's not just one guy that you know, you handle the ball and and see what he can do There's a lot of guys that go into to making things work on offense and on defense This is I usually just ask the players if if they're okay, and I've never had a player say no I'm not not okay to to get the ball or you know be tired. No, you know, do you want to play? Yeah, so that's usually how I handle it. It's like coming. You know if you're a pass rusher you want to come out of the game in two minute No, I'll stay in there and rush Again, we have a lot of players With the expiring contracts. That's part of this this business and and again excited that John has allowed me to to be involved with the process of bringing Having a conversation of how we want to put our football team together and you know We'll have to make decisions Free agencies a two-way street Players have to have to want to be back and teams have to make Tough decisions on on who to bring back. So, you know, we continue to have those conversations. I think the consistency is a huge part of success Prolonged except success to be able to do it over and over and repeatedly play at a high level So again, we're all working to try to be more consistent try to be more consistent players and and more consistent coaches With 31 pre-snap penalties on offense So when we complain about how we are on third down That would be one thing to to fix and not make it third and seven Or make it second and 13 and try to convert those long yarded situations by not having pre-snap penalties You know defensively we have to continue to improve our you know our red zone We went from first to to last or close to last and we have to find out why And do a better job there. We weren't Good in third down we're good in you know to run game But but again when you can be really good in the red zone, you can keep teams Make them kick field goals. You have a chance to win games Offensively we have to run more plays and we had the second most yards per play, but we had the Third fewest plays and we got to run more plays. It doesn't Take a genius to understand that we just have to find ways to convert and be better on third down the tempo on Well, it's not that we're going fast I mean you can you can run plays and you can run them fast and go three and out It's not about as you know the tempo and the speed, you know The chiefs huddle every play, you know, that's just what they do and they run plenty of plays and but they're efficient you know they convert Third down and so we have to do better and stand you know We made a commitment after the bye week of figuring out why we were not very good It was because you we were in too many third and longs And so the numbers will tell you that the the less time you can spend in third long and then the more time You can spend in third and three or four You're gonna convert more third downs and and then you know continue those drives You've had those conversations all year about you know, why aren't you getting this guy the ball more? Why isn't this guy doing well? We got to be able to run more plays to to get those players That we want to focus on whether it be the tight end the receiver the runner We have to have more plays to get those guys the opportunity to make plays for us Sure, there's a lot of guys, you know that whether it's What element was missing we threw the ball over people's head Plenty we threw it to AJ on a four-yard route and he ran 70 yards So I'll get back with you and you can you can tell us what we need and what we're missing Seven yards of play Second in the NFL The whole combine and the valuation you have to watch the tape Yeah, really one thing that I I've enjoyed doing with John is watching these guys back-to-back at the same position So you put seven or eight players on there and you just watch them back-to-back and you can start to see Okay, maybe this is the guy that kind of Creeps ahead and then you use the combine and the interview and the workout or The individual workout or the pro day to try to you know make a profile the player But I think that's something that's really I think helped us is being able to watch those guys back-to-back and say okay That guy you can see when he moves. Maybe it moves a little quicker when he puts his foot in the ground He has a little bit better burst Maybe than the other two players. I don't know you'd have to ask Ryan, you know I mean, I don't I've never played quarterback in the national football league So again, he was a great leader for us, but how tough that was I think you'd have to catch Ryan a very accurate passer You know a player that He's got great command of the pocket. You know, we try to mix Some of the three-man rushes up on him and when he sees that a lot of quarterbacks So just it's you know escape the pocket and go out of the pocket where we where we want him to go and You know Tom did a great job of staying in the pocket when we when we mix some of those three-man rushes in The great command of the offense is great leader. So that's that's what I saw No, I tell the players and the coaches that whoever comes in the meeting room on April 20th That's who I'll coach and whoever shows up and we end up getting to 53 guys and 10 guys on a practice squad I'll do my best to coach them and try to put the players in the best position Not only to help themselves but but to help the team and and that's really been my stance for as long as I can Remember well, I mean John and I have those conversations every single day about you know How do we want our football team to look? You know, we're gonna we're gonna commit to doing things how we believe is best And that's to play with great effort and finish to concentrate on the details To eliminate foolish penalties and to take care of the football and try to turn it over those Those aren't gonna change those where we call team keys and those are gonna stay the same as long as I'm the head coach All we were looking for is a great attitude in his rehab and he attacked his rehab Jeff's a great young man to be around. He cares a lot about his teammates. I would say he's an unbelievable teammate. I Appreciated the fact and I know our coaches did and our organization did that he that he pushed through Some discomfort as he was working through His rehab and his return to play And and as you watch I think that there's a lot of plays that he impacted and he was very disruptive But there is the exciting thing is there's a lot of room for improvement in technique and pad level Those are all great things You know, probably those conversations that I may have had with Dean saying hey Let's go with this and that I you know that that's one less avenue I'm very you know, I know what we call every you know every play on defense and on offense and on special teams and Try to have input and help in all three of those phases So, you know, that would probably eliminate one One chain of command or one one communication going to to and to Dean and Dean going to the linebacker Depends on the day, you know, there's there's a lot of times that you know, we're talking before the player I'll have something that I want called on third down When whenever You know, hey Arthur, I'd like to run this that's kind of how it goes You know times a teammate and the former teammate. He's a friend. They'll always be a friend and You know, I know with like a lot of people he'll do what's best for him and his family Wherever that may be. I'm not sure sure and I think it's important that everybody has their own personality You guys have your own personality Taran's got a certain style whether you like it or not whether I like it or not. He's got his own style But Yeah, you know midges composed. He's very he is different than Kerry and I think that that'll be really good I think he's got a lot of knowledge and A lot of range in our defense having having coached with with Anthony in Houston You know, I'm excited that that he's gonna be able to to bring a lot of knowledge to the secondary I just think that having watched These guys interact and talk through defense as we've been watching You know in the offseason and the cut-ups and how he can enhance and say hey We kind of ran into these same issues and this is kind of what we did and books like okay, you know I've watched these guys You know books helped him with our terminology and what maybe we called something differently than they called it in Houston Watched Anthony work with book about hey, let's maybe look at tweaking this or you know, how we're gonna do things to make things better Yeah, you know Nate I would say would be a versatile player. I don't think that right now You know, that's something that we could we could look at but Here's what I know about Nate. It's his first game in the NFL Was was in Atlanta. It was on the road. It was loud You know Grady Jared is a great player And I know that Nate lined up across from him and he blocked him and he didn't flinch and he didn't turn it down So it was promising and again, we're gonna work through a lot of other things as the season went along But he improved and he played against some really good players and he got beat sometimes But sometimes he he blocked his guy, you know, five yards downfield on on a run plays And he picked up games and helped us, you know, create a really good pocket So those are all things that I was proud of them for and I know that he's only gonna get better Well, I think when you can have a team that holds players hold each other accountable Then you can really have a chance to succeed in this league I Think that I can only do so much as far as holding players accountable. I do that every single day And it's part of my job and I enjoy it But when players can hold each other accountable and understand the sift system and be able to coach players as well Sometimes, you know a teammate is can be the best coach that you can have. Thank you
