00:00 outside of here is picking the Titans this season to be successful at all.
00:04 I wonder how much you use that as motivation for your team.
00:08 >> We're all undefeated right now, Jared.
00:09 We're all undefeated.
00:12 So we'll see where this thing goes.
00:15 This journey that we take, these ups and the downs, we're focusing on today.
00:20 Somebody told me that you can't be at two places at one time.
00:25 So I'm gonna be here, I'm gonna give this team everything I got while I'm here.
00:29 And I'm gonna ask the players and the coaches to do the same thing.
00:33 And then we're gonna try to prepare to win each and every week.
00:36 >> Did Luke Stocker, did he earn a spot on your staff when we did this off season?
00:39 >> He did, and we've had numerous coaches, and we've got some really good coaches
00:44 in here working with the Bill Walsh minority coaching internship.
00:51 Luke was one that we decided to do for the off season, for the spring.
00:58 And he did a fantastic job.
01:00 It just probably quicker than I would expect it.
01:05 I didn't really have any expectations.
01:08 But his ability to handle that QC work and to assist and
01:13 function with the breakdown in a computer, not only be an asset on the field as
01:18 a former player, but that's the thing that really stood out was his ability
01:23 to be able to break down and help with those things on the QC level.
01:29 >> Mike, in preparing this team to win, are there any one or
01:32 two priorities you wanna try to get accomplished here in the first couple
01:34 of weeks of camp?
01:35 >> I mean, just the normal install.
01:38 I mean, I think that as we work our way through, just being good in critical
01:42 situations, making sure that as we get to those things,
01:47 these games are so tight in how you operate and function at the end of the half.
01:51 And at the end of the game, those are always important.
01:55 But more than half the game is played on first and second down.
01:59 20% of it's played on third down, 20% of it's played on in the red zone.
02:04 So everything is critical.
02:06 And making sure that the special teams are able to set the table to
02:12 each one of those phases in each one of those situations.
