 We're talking ball presented by Duncan as general manager John Robinson joins us glad to have you with us again I want to start by talking about a couple of young guys who continue to improve Linebacker David long let's start with his performance so far this year. What have you seen from number 51? Yeah, I mean, I think he's got an opportunity to go out there with some But you know because of some injuries and and he's maximized that chance Mike The thing that I'm probably the most impressed with David is his communication He's really taken charge out there with you know working to get guys lined up to get him in the right spot He's always had a nose for the football and he runs around and plays hard But the communication piece for him has really been impressive. He's gotten better every year He has you know it we talk when we have the off-season meetings Like here's things you need to continue to work on and to his credit He works extremely hard in the off-season to prepare himself to play It's hard to not be a fan of a guy like Jeremy McNichols who's battled his way on to an NFL roster And now has a role in your office. Yeah, I mean, he's he's played on about seven or eight different teams Heck we've cut him once and he went to Jacksonville. We got him back off their practice squad But you know, he's a guy that that finally stuck to the plan, you know the NFL career It's it's a curvy road sometimes he knew he where he wanted to end up You know, he's bought into what we've asked of him whether it be on special teams Be on third down punching in on some of those sub runs, you know, we've got a spell Derek But it's really worked hard accepted his role and worked hard to be good at it Alright, the opponent this week Jacksonville got to start with the quarterback Trevor Lawrence. What do you see big strong talented athletic? You know, there's a reason why he was a number one overall pick He's gotten more accustomed to the pro game You can tell he's getting a little bit more comfortable in the pocket back there Developing a little rapport with this, you know supporting cast and we'll have to do a good job of getting him off The spot and trying to create some confusion for him hard Not to like Jacksonville's running back James Robinson the second-year man out of Illinois State Yeah, an undrafted guy kind of burst onto the scene last year, you know, and he really maximized his chance there in Jacksonville He's a sturdy runner. He's stable. He runs between the tackles. Well, he's got good vision. He's got good instincts He's got a nice short burst through the you know through the line catches the ball really well out of the backfield He's certainly one of the top backs in the league John as you look at the statistics Tennessee Offensively and defensively very impressive in a lot of categories for you to be more successful overall Is it just simply about refining execution? Yeah, it's it's those it's those plays during the course of a drive Mike that you Don't execute this properly or stunt get done get executed the right way on defense or there's an alignment issue or there's a penalty There's something that comes up. We've certainly proven that we can get into drives. We can move the ball down the field We can score touchdowns Defensively we can stop people even when putting it put in weird situations after a turnover Whatever it may be we can take the field we can get stops and it's those details and continuing to refine those details and the Execution of those details throughout the course of the game which has allowed us to be successful in the games we won
