Titans OC Nick Holz talks offensive game plan for Jets, facing Sauce Gardner, & more

I think there were times that he was really good against pressure especially early in the game I think there you kind of the ball came out uh he really and I thought he saw it well like on the last play he knew he was hot you know what I mean he knew he was hot they brought a great Blitz from the field he knew all those things so he saw it well so I didn't see panicky and you know it's just a physical error compounded by a little bit of a me a mental error of not throwing it away so I do think that that was part of it and then I think you go back to watching some of the game as the game went on in times of stress all positions on our team went back to a little bit of some old habits you know what I mean you kind of saw and that's across the board whether it was some of the receivers in their routs some of the lineman in their pass sets quarterback drifting into pressure a little bit kind of you know getting his feet off kilter so I thought was kind of group wide a little bit at the end a lot of problems compounded each other not just will I think we're always going to evaluate what is the best matchups for our guys whether it's in the Run game in the pass game who do we need to help pass protection wise how can we isolated DB so that's really where that kind of comes from in the game planning process is we're just going to kind of keep trying to pick and turn and then what are our guys get better at right so I can want to throw a slant route all we want right but if we don't throw it we don't catch it well we can't whatever we can't block this protection we really can't run it so I think you gohost keep evaluating constantly and we don't ever want to be kind of stuck in a box of this is just what we do and and I don't think that's kind of like archaic coaching you know you watch offensive line but you know there are no subs right so those guys get 75 7 75 game reps you know what I mean a receiver may get 50 a running back may get 40 so those guys get you know it is a trial by fire and those guys keep getting thrown in there I also think you go back to Young linemen you know the college football has played very differently than the NFL for that part you know and so the physicality and the speed of these grown men it it it's a lot it's a lot different so it does take time uh I think you know in the first half you would have said well this Line's playing pretty good you know what I mean and then they get behind we get the sack fumble we get a couple pressures at the end and now it's kind of feels like it snowballs on you but I think if you look at the performance as a whole you would say there were a lot of positiv too so you kind of keep building on the positives and then working through the negatives and try to eliminate those mistakes in your experience in in games when things are going well the offensive line and then you hit some kind of a road BL like that what's usually the the thing to blame is it a specific guy not doing his job is a communication issue is it that fatigue from playing so often no I don't think it's anything like that I think there's always I think each one's kind of individual based of what happens sometimes guy you know just has a bad passet or sometimes they Blitz a different look that we didn't practice so I I think there's always variation in that I thought those guys played really well at the end I thought they kind of got on some of our edges so I think we had some set issues I think it was one pass so again I thought there was a little bit of everything and they kind of hit some things right and there's some things that we missed that we thought we would you know hit in the head and we just didn't so
