He was the first one in there and the last one to leave watching tape.

And the only other person that was much of him was Rod Woodson.

These guys watched more tape.

They were looking for any competitive edge they could get, whether it be a stance, whether it be a split, whether it be a formational thing that they saw in

on the road, at home, certain ways that people did it.

So it got to a point where, you know, I just remember telling Chris Hopen, I actually told Ryan Clark, I met, saw him last night.

I said, you know, when the first thing I told Ryan Clark, I said, listen, you're coming in here.

I said, I just got to tell you one thing, you know, Troy Palamalu is going to do some things that are unorthodox.

And at times he will not play the defense.

I need you to be able to cover up for him.

He goes, what do you mean cover up for him?

I said, because he's not going to follow the defense.

He goes, you don't have to follow the defense around here?

I go, no, no, no, no.

He doesn't have to follow the defense.

But you need to be able to cover up for him.

He goes, what do you mean cover up for him?

I said, well, if it's too deep and he sees something, he may blitz.

I said, well, how do I cover up for him?

I said, well, you start talking to the two corners and tell them to back up.
