""Calling plays for me, it's not necessarily about control, but it's about connecting with the players," Saleh said at his introductory news conference. "When you are calling plays, you feel the strain that you're putting on 'em with each call. You're feeling the connection and what each one is going through. To call plays and maintain that connection, that feel for what the players are going through, is very important for my seat. It's just one of the many things that'll change throughout my time.""
""Finding a way to maximize 2025 No.1 pick Cam Ward will be one of Saleh's most critical tasks. That's why the defensive-minded coach hired former New York Giants coach Brian Daboll to be his offensive coordinator. Daboll has a history of working with successful quarterbacks such as Brett Favre, Tom Brady, Josh Allen and most recently Jaxson Dart. Saleh called Daboll the \"perfect man to match up with Ward\".""
Robert Saleh will call defensive plays for the Titans to connect with players. He regretted not calling plays as New York Jets head coach from 2021-24, when the team went 20-36. Maximizing 2025 No.1 pick Cam Ward is a critical task, so Saleh hired former Giants coach Brian Daboll as offensive coordinator. Daboll has worked with Brett Favre, Tom Brady and Josh Allen, and Saleh called him the "perfect man to match up with Ward." Saleh said Daboll's scheme finds run/pass conflicts and attacks them. He acknowledged part of his Jets failure was insufficient defensive support and a weak run game, citing Brady's first year as a model for gradual quarterback development.
