Terrell Williams

No, I really don't have much.

You know, I've been, you know, from my D-line coach a couple years ago, Terrell Williams, who was with him in Detroit, spoke very highly of him.

Had a brief conversation with him last night when I got in, and But even during the training camp, we talked a little smack back and forth when they came to visit Tennessee.

So I'm excited to know what he's doing with his team and what he's building here.

And he's producing, as you said, a top five scoring defense.

And since he took over last year for Terrell Williams, has been pretty fantastic.

And him against Ben Johnson, that's just a matchup I'm very much looking forward to.

Yeah, I think we're going to have fireworks well into the second half and fireworks doesn't necessarily mean scoring.

They are a nasty, lunch pail, just eff it kind of team.

And I know Drake May gets a lot of the attention, but what Zach Kerr has done as a defense coordinator, remember that story last year, Terrell Williams had some health issues in camp.

and couldn't go, and Zach Kerr, he was like an analyst just four years ago, and now he's the defensive coordinator on a Mike Vrabel team, and led them, not led them, but was a big part of getting them to the Super Bowl, and I talked with him this morning, just going through some of his personnel, and man, it's just so refreshing to see guys They don't have a lot of superstars, but they play as a unit.

And they've got, like I said, an attitude about them.

Your offensive coordinator is Josh McDaniels, your play caller.

Terrell Williams is actually the defensive coordinator with New England operating under Mike Vrabel's defensive structure.

But Terrell Williams is the guy that calls the plays.

So that's something that's interesting and that's why I think Ben is so special because he can set a culture and he can come up with a game plan and he can call the plays.

He's not just sitting there making sure everything's okay.

In terms of the way the Patriots look at the Jets, I think it's skewed a little bit by a couple of things.

One, you know, the assistant head coach for the Patriots is Terrell Williams, who came from Detroit, knows Aaron Glenn well, lot of respect for Aaron Glenn, and the other, Brian Duker, the other coaches he worked-

Mm-hmm

... with i- in Detroit.

So credit to all those guys.

Credit to Mike Smith, Mike Vrabel, Terrell Williams, all those guys working with that edge group.

That has been an absolute pleasant surprise, uh, to start the year.

A- and again, that four-man rush yesterday, it was, I think the pressure rate was, like, 15% over their season average with just four.

Liam Cohen is in your bag.

Liam Cohen is one of the first people that really, uh, since this new regime came over with Vrabel and Terrell Williams as the DC, and then obviously Zach taking over, that, um, did stuff like that to them, that made them look like that.

[laughs] I don't- I don't know that that's happened very often, so, uh, good bounce back, smart guy.

I think that the thing that stands out to me about this is the, the level of communication and trust between the players and the coaches to sort of, as you said, this is a sharp, uh, pivot from what they've been doing, and to have the confidence that they could do it, and then to go watch them execute it well, with the exception of a few breakdowns, and hey, it's, it's Josh Allen, he's gonna make some plays.
