All right, guys, injuries, Elijah Mitchell be questionable, green Law questionable and that's it.
Well.
Green Law was originally risk listed with a rest day and then then after that it was hamstring. So that was that something that just popped up.
Yeah, it was during our walkthrough. Just did something and feel comfortable with it and now we're being safe and we'll see how it feels tomorrow.
See one of the players that could play without really practicing in.
A week just with his knowledge of Definitely, yeah, definitely.
How's Elijah looked good?
He had a full speed practice yesterday and was full go today, so he's had a good week.
Talk about Miles Garrett against Trent Williams. How many times in your coaching career have kind of seen a one on one matchup between two Titans like that.
I've seen him practice a lot with our guys, but it's rare. I mean, Tren's as good as it gets you play. There's a number of good guys in this league, especially over the years, but who he's got this week is right up there with anybody. So huge challenge for him. Same on the other side for Garrett, and it's real fun for football fans to watch.
Randy Gregory's week of practice go In terms of getting ready to potentially play off.
I was good. He fit in well, was able to get through three full practices learning picking up our scheme. I think some styles he's used in the past are very similar, so I think I'll pick it up fast and excited to see him here on Sunday.
When you hired christcusherk and nineteen, you noted that you had had trouble going against that at defensive front earlier in your career.
Going against that defense in practices the.
Last more years, have you figured out ways you know what its weaknesses are and ways to get around a good wide nine.
I mean, I think you and I think that's why we wanted to get it. I think you always kind of know the weaknesses of it and how to do it. It's really hard to do. That's why I've always liked it so much. Just going against Jim and Tennessee, and when I first started out in Houston was the first time appearentcing it. It was just different than everyone else and a couple of teams have done it over the years.
But that's why our goal always was to get someone who knew how to coach that up front and Jim always being as good as anyone added and it's always tough to go against, but when you have great players like he does, it's even a lot tougher.
The Browns, you guys, the Grounds and the Eagles that use it the most.
Uh yeah, yeah, yeah. I haven't watched the Goos yet this year, but they've always been a part of that, you know, with Schworts being there for so long in their style.
Back when you traded for Christian on Thursday night.
Right, the Jets try to do it too. The Jets.
Also back when you traded for Christian on that what Thursday night, Friday before the Kansas City game last year, did you realistically expect him to be ready for to play on that Sunday? And you know, second question on top of that, what was what are your memories of that whole process of cramming to get him ready to play for Sunday.
It was John asked me on Thursday, if we get him in here, does he have a chance If we get him here and here Friday halfway through practice, does he have a chance to play? And I said absolutely not. That's way too. I don't want to expect that out anybody. And then I called him on the phone about like an hour later just to talk to him in the first time. And when I hung up, I said, we'd better get him a playbook because that dude's coming in here ready to play and he's adamant who he won't
struggle at all. And then we saw him out of practice that Friday. We got to talk to him all Saturday, and it wasn't us cramming him, it was him doing it. And he knew enough to be able to get in there, and he said he would be fine. He made us feel that, and about twenty really after a phone conversation, and then that Sunday he didn't have one mistake.
Over the past couple of weeks.
Is there more to that? Was there another question?
Over the past couple of.
Weeks, Nick Bosa has been sharing past rushing techniques with Bread and then he did it with Randy Gregory yesterday or the day before. Is that happening organically and are you aware of it? And how does that speak to just the selflessness of this to you.
I'm not aware of it. It has happened organically, but it doesn't surprise me. I mean bosas Uh definitely understands this craft and thinks about it a lot on what he does, and he's pretty good at it. So we got a lot of smart guys. So I'm sure guys asked himself a lot and as long as he's telling stuff to people on our team are all good with it.
They're officially going with p J. Walker, with Watson rolled out soon. You have anticipated the last few days. What what does Walker present in terms.
Of problems or I mean, I've always been a fan of his over the years. He's you know, he's got experience, He's a vet. He can hurt you with his lazy he can hurt you with his arm. I think what he's got, his opportunities in this leag He's done a good job. Having Steve be familiar with him in Carolina helps a lot. You know, I don't have to look too much into it. I know Steve's got a good feel and what his pluses and minuses are. And we've been preparing it all week like it could be.
This too Cross paths with Sean Gibson in Cleveland the fourteen. But what have you learned about you know, since since he got here last year?
I mean, I got to know him better since he's been here. I think that was his rookie year and I was only there one year, so I didn't know him that well personally. I just knew how good he was there. I mean, he was thought one of the better safeties in the league there right away. Really helped us that year. I think he had gone on and to do stuff, and I was always familiar with him being on that team, and he was tough when we
went against him at Jacksonville. He's really tough in Chicago and now just getting him to know him and I mean we call him the data of our team, and he's not because he's that old. He's just older than the guys around him. And but he has a different type of maturity too that he brings wisdom to the game, the way he takes care of himself, how hard he goes, and kind of the data of the group. But when you watch him on Sunday, he seems like a kid
out there too. He's into it. He runs, he hits, He's got great ball skills, great instincts, and has a little as a good demeanor and energy out there that we think fits with our team well too.
Uh record franchise record for executive regular season wins the A nine ninety team. You have an appreciation with the history of this franchise. I mean, I realize you've got bigger goals than that, but would that be pretty cool to you know, break you know, a record held by you know kind of that that Dyna dynastic Herita.
I mean, I got so much respect for the history here and those teams, but I mean, it's a record over two seasons. It's it's cool, but it's not really though. It's I mean it's over two seasons, and it's mayd be cool to do that all in one season, but I mean it's better than not doing it, or we're happy about it. It would be a cool thing to do, but I don't think it's that big of a deal personally. Alright, Thanks guys,
