00:00 >> I don't know the significance, I think we just continue to try and
00:03 be on the rise as a unit.
00:04 Smashing the line is always something that,
00:06 doesn't matter who we're going against, we're going to win.
00:08 Offenses are always trying to establish the line, it's no different this week.
00:12 With a really capable offense, and obviously,
00:14 it's going to take a lot of work to talk about.
00:17 >> If Cam's able to come back and is available to you guys Thursday night,
00:21 how much of a difference can that make in the run game and in defense?
00:26 >> Yeah, he's a difference maker.
00:28 He really is, he's been great for a long time.
00:30 A guy that's played in this matchup more than a few times himself, and
00:35 anytime you play with a player like Cam, it's gonna be a difference.
00:38 >> Where does Derek Henry evolve as a running back throughout those years?
00:42 >> I mean, just turn on the film and you see a guy that breaks a lot of back,
00:45 as he hits the hole hard and he has the breakaway speed.
00:48 Obviously, everybody talks about this difference.
00:50 That's kind of the mainstream stuff.
00:52 The other stuff is the speed and agility and
00:54 being able to kind of be patient and hit the hole.
00:57 He's an elite back.
00:59 >> With his size, where does he kind of rank as difficult in the running back?
01:03 >> He's up there, I mean, it's tough.
01:04 I mean, it seems like every back, he's very tough to get down.
01:07 But I mean, you got a guy that has those long arms that can stiff arm you.
01:10 He's a very tall guy as well, so you kind of have to tackle the center mass or
01:15 try to clip him at the ankles.
01:16 But that's tough cuz he can also high step out of it.
