You know, he does a lot pre-snap. What I love about Detroit is they win in the pre-snap, meaning they'll change the tight end, they'll change the receiver, they'll motion two or three times before the ball is snapped, and they'll let Jared Goff pick a play. They're using the pre-snap to recognize your defense. I call it RCE.

You recognize the defense, and when you know what defense they're in, now you communicate a play to beat that defense. And that's what leads to great levels of execution. I call it RCE. Now, they're blessed. They have an excellent offensive line. They got a one-two punch in the backfield that's unbelievable. Those two cats are great.

They got a great slot receiver who's a total badass, the way he plays and blocks. I mean, you watch this guy play, he's like a β Tommy Hearns, he's like a Hagler type guy. He'll get in the ring and kick your ass now. And with Jamison Williams, they got the guy that can turbo it over the top. And Goff, other than last week, hasn't been good. He's been great.

Yeah, he has. He's been like perfect. So the Jets, I got a question about the Jets. There was a report this week that Jeff Ulbrich, the interim head coach, went back to the fundamentals of tackling this week. So they put the pads back on. He even gave a demonstration of tackling to start the practice.

We already know the Jets are in disarray, but what does that say when you have to do a fundamental of tackling? Did you ever do that as a coach halfway through the season? Like, hey, we've got to learn how to tackle again?

Well, we try to emphasize tackling. And when you have a poor tackling game or a poor tackling month, you want to emphasize tackling. I'm surprised he came out and said that. Yeah. Because your players, you know, they got a lot of pride in tackling. But the Jets do have problems. And I had always said that their defense wasn't part of the problem. But I know Ulbrich is in charge of the defense.

He expects a lot from the defense. And they didn't give it to him last week in Arizona. So I can understand his frustration.
