 I have no questions for you. No, I do actually. Darren base posted something. Are you guys signing him or is that a practice squad? Yeah, we're out into the practice squad. As far as the injuries, do you have any decision there? Getting close. We don't have to make it right now. Things are turning in the right direction for Josh, but again, a lot of things are fluid. We got to weigh everything as everybody gets back in here and we practice and then obviously going through tomorrow. See what the health of the team looks like going into the game week. You said on Monday that you felt like maybe you'd have more decisions on Gage and Davidson by midweek last week. Is there a lot more clarity there now? Yeah, I think we feel good about how they're progressing, but let's see how they look at practice, but they'll be out there practicing today. What did you learn the self scout was this week? I think you just got to see how we're trending offensively. You look at everything. It's a good time to reflect after five games, see how we've evolved, how teams are playing us, look at our personnel usage really in all three phases, where we have guys, especially in special teams, our coverage units, and then defensively, how teams are attacking us, what we're calling, how we're using our personnel. So it's a really good time to be objective, have the pressure of getting ready for a game a week and game planning so you can really take a hard look at yourself. We thought it was very productive. For you as a self scout different as a head coach versus when you were really just off the square? We're just watching defense. Is there any other things that have changed for you? Absolutely, that's a good question. You've got to look at it in your mind first, because you're so involved with the offense, but you've got to be the head coach of the whole team. So for things you look at as a play caller offensively, but then it's the whole team, and our staff does a good job. I talk all the time with Dean and Marquise, and we look at things, but you do, you have to take it a whole objective of the entire team. A lot of it is just making sure we're looking at everything the right way. Personnel uses what we're playing, when you're making calls, you're responsible for everything. So that's what I signed up for, and thankful I got this job. I want to go back to something you said on, I guess it was Monday, about with the bi-week and now the rest of the guys' heads, these rookies are about to play a whole college season, and I was just curious what you really broke down with them during the bi-week in terms of, hey, this is more than what you're used to, so how did you just prepare them immensely for what's ahead? A lot of it is. It's continuing education, making sure that they take care of themselves, mentally and physically. It's a long year, I always felt for these rookies, it's the longest year they'll have in their personal career, because as soon as their season ends, you jump right in, and a lot of these guys jump into the All-Star game, so they may practice for the All-Star game, and then they all have places they go where their agents have deals where they work out certain locations, and they prep for, they didn't have a combat this year, but they prep for your pro-days, and then you're just constantly nitpicked as you go through the draft evaluation, and it's just different for them. And you get all the way up until the draft, and then you go to a new environment, and then it's kind of like drinking from a fire hydrant, and then you have a couple weeks before you start camp, and it's just a really long year for those guys, and you try to prepare them mentally, but a lot of things, you have to experiment first time, so we try to do a good job educating them, making sure they understand where there are season, how long the season is, to pick the brains of the veterans, and then everybody, we try to support them, but yeah, we got 12 games. It is a full season left ahead. With some of these guys, I mean, they did play well against two weeks ago against the Jets. I mean, how much do you kind of constantly think about, okay, we saw these guys do well, it's maybe time to ramp up some reps with them? Yeah, it just depends. It also, who's up? A lot of these guys, we feel, have earned reps, but there's some good players that maybe have been out because of injuries or other issues, and they come back. It's a good problem to have when you've got to make tough decisions on game day, or who's going to get the majority of the snaps, or as you're playing on the game plan. So there's good problems we feel good about. Again, a lot of these guys got a lot of snaps in the preseason, and we think that's paying off for us, and hopefully these guys continue to produce on game day. That's ultimately what matters. I've covered Bates before. He's a really good special teams player. Was that part of the reason why you... Yeah, I've known Darren and known Darren a long time. Another Memphis guy. So we've been with him in Tennessee. He went to high school with my brother. Excited Darren's here to see if he can help us. How do you feel the offensive line has evolved and gotten better? Yeah, gotten better week to week, and that's the whole challenge in his business. Can you improve week to week with obviously as a team, and we feel like it's in the right direction, but it's a long season. You just don't want to have these peaks and valleys. You want to constantly be building tough matchups every week. My aim is going to present a number of challenges that are a little bit different than what we've seen, and we've got to be ready to roll because I know they'll be ready. You guys have both seen each other early in the year. Do you think that has any pluses, minuses given that you've already played them? I like a division opponent. You play your division twice a year and you learn a lot, but it wasn't like we were going full out game planning. You get a feel for them. You have a little better feel for their personnel, but the teams, like I said, we're a completely different team than we were when we went down there, and so are they. That's how I kind of compare it to like, hey, you played somebody early in the year, and you're a division opponent, you play them a little bit later. This is maybe very protecting many practice squad players this year. I was just wondering the philosophy of choosing not to do that versus doing it. Well, I mean, there's a lot of different things, and I won't go full-fledged into our strategy, but, you know, it's a good mechanism if you want to use it. It's not that you see a lot of people poaching off practice squads. So, like I said, if you need it, you got it. But again, every team has the opportunity to use how they see fit. We've used it the way we've seen fit so far, and we feel pretty good about it. I know that you asked you this two or three weeks ago about, like, practice squad strategies and using kind of as long-term trials. Do you think that all the new practice squad rules have kind of made it, like, that whole mechanism way more strategic than it was even five years ago, for how you used different things in different ways? Absolutely, and I like it. I think it allows you some creativity. It allows you to invest a little more in player development, and then ultimately, like you said, if you want to protect guys, and again, it's protecting them during the week, but if you choose to go poach guys off other teams, you know, you get them on your active roster for a few weeks after that. So, there's a lot of different mechanisms to claiming. I like the strategy of that. I think it allows you to be more creative so it's not so cookie cutter. Do you do anything good with your bi-week? I try to be productive. I try to be a good husband and dad. It was a beautiful weekend here in Atlanta, so it was good. I feel good, got some work done, and also got my most important job. I was able to be a dad and a husband for a couple of days. Not too bad. It was more, you know, pitching in with the kids and doing my part there. What'd you do? I slept a lot, man. I slept a lot. I liked a bit, you know. That's good. That's a great weekend. I'll take it. I'll take 50 more of those. Yeah. Good. Good to see y'all.
