 Yeah, absolutely. You know, it's a great opportunity for me. Being familiar with Mike from our time in Houston and then being able to kind of, you know, watch from afar. Being over there and seeing how competitive his teams were and see basically all the cornerstones of the organization, how hard they play, how physical they are. It was all things that, you know, as you sit and you watch somebody on tape, it's something you want to be a part of. So very fortunate and very excited for the opportunity. Yeah, Ryan, you know, speaking on last year and the time I was able to work with him, he's a great pro. You know, he checks every box in terms of what you're looking for from that position and being able to come in and lead. And really, you know, be the driving force behind the offense there when he's on the field. So, you know, excited to continue to work with Ryan. And like I said, the experience I had with him last year was great. You know, got to make sure that we stress consistency is the big thing. I think you can go and look at a number of games last year where we came out and, you know, one that comes to mind real quickly. One that comes to mind real quick is the Giants game where we came out like gamebusters. I think we went up 24-0 and then we weren't able to put together a whole game. So really stressing the ability to stay level-headed and just, you know, make sure that we're consistent in everything that we do and every day that we're in the building, not just on Sundays. So, you know, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, all the days of the week when we come in there to work that we're consistent, we're level-headed. We make sure that we're doing everything we can to go out there and be good. I wouldn't say that. I mean, I didn't think we were predictable last year. I think there are some times where, you know, certain games, certain things, weather, you know, people you have available, things along those lines, you know, there are a lot of elements that go into predictability or perceived predictability. So I wouldn't say that we were predictable last year. Sure. Yeah, I think, you know, one of the things that we want to do as an offense is we want to be versatile. So whether it ends up being multiple personnel groupings, multiple formations, playing in multiple tempos, just doing things to try to keep people off balance. So, you know, that's what we're going to look to do moving forward. You know, we want to put our guys in the best position possible. I didn't, but, you know, again, like I said, there are a lot of things that go into calling a game. And so, you know, last year was last year, but moving forward, I can tell you what we're going to do and what we're going to try to do and how we're going to build this offense. Yeah, I think that's tough to answer right now just because I don't know if we know exactly what our team is going to look like. So, again, the big thing that, you know, how I was raised and how I kind of want to build this thing is we want to be versatile. So we want to have versatile players that can do multiple things from multiple formations from multiple personnel groupings and be out there and give the illusion of being complex where, you know, the concepts may not change a whole ton, but with the illusion of being complex and putting our guys in a position to go out and execute, you know, at a high level. How do you see it working? Yeah, I think there's a fine line between that and between making sure that you're being inclusive and getting ideas from everybody. Being able to, you know, anybody that has a seat at the table in that offensive staff room is an accomplished coach. And, you know, the way that we're built right now, it's unique with Justin and with Charles and guys that have had different experiences in different organizations and different offensive systems. You know, so being able to pull different ideas. You know, I'm not concerned about having too many cooks in the kitchen as the coordinator. It's my job to make sure that everything we do is streamlined and we're not allowing just off the wall ideas and things along those lines. But, you know, with the quality of coaches that we have in the offensive room, we're going to encourage ideas and we're going to encourage people to come in. And if they think something's going to help us score points, I'm all ears for it. Yeah, I mean, I'll talk about kind of what my schedule, if you want to get into that last year and how I was involved. Early on in the week, I'd make sure that I give everything I could to Todd in terms of, you know, information on the opponent. So when he gets into the office on Monday after calling a game, you know, he's got ideas to what to expect when he turns on the film. So from there, you know, I was involved with being able to come up with some of the past game ideas and then along with some of the third down and red area ideas. So, you know, last year for me, I was here to try and serve those guys and give any of those guys on that staff anything they asked for. Whether it was me, you know, running around like a whatever you want to call me, you know, during the scout teams and trying to give the best look I could to those guys. And just really trying to do anything I could to help us win. I mean, yeah, there's going to be an element of an outside zone. And as far as terminology, there's going to be some carryover and there's going to be some things that are different. The last thing that we want to do is come in and stunt the growth of some of the guys trailing, chig, you know, Malik, some of those guys that were younger, Nick, and just completely change things just to say that we changed them. So the things that we were efficient at and the things that are worth keeping, if you will, we're going to do that. And if we feel like we need to make an adjustment with something else, we'll make sure that we make the proper adjustment. Yeah, you know, that's a big part of what we're doing right now. And like I said, being able to start that process with the new guys and kind of going through and seeing what they've done in the past at different places. You know, because a lot of times when you come up with these ideas and you think you've had this great unique idea, somebody else has already had it and has experienced the growing pains with it. So being able to go through and make sure that we're vetting all the ideas and figuring out, you know, just like we said, what we want to keep, what we want to add and making sure that when everybody gets in the building, when we hand them that playbook, it's clean and it's got exactly what we want and what we want to be in it. Yeah, you know, for right now, when we get in, typically, you know, guys are in earlier. So we take the mornings basically for whenever anybody gets in the building until lunchtime to make sure that we're handling that, you know, playbook portion of it. And then in the afternoon, given the coaching staff time to evaluate different players and make sure that we've got a really great idea as to who we want to bring into our building. Yeah, you know, Chick did a great job of making plays when the ball found its way. So whether it was the catch in Andy, you know, he had a couple of big catches for us. The one in Jacksonville, I believe, like when the ball found him, he caught it and he was good with the ball in his hand. So he did a great job of learning, first of all, what it takes to be a professional. And again, I think that, you know, that's a transition for every rookie when they come into the NFL. And yeah, we're going to look to continue to grow his skills and his ability so we can utilize them more. Yeah, you know, I think anytime you're going into a situation with an established quarterback, no matter who it is, you want to make sure that the comfort level with them is paramount. Especially, again, when they're out there pulling the trigger, they need to make sure that they feel good about it. And so, you know, again, with Ryan in that quarterback position in general, just making sure that, you know, we're seeing the game through the same set eyes. That, you know, no matter if we call one thing, you know, a little bit differently this year, the tournament like the plays are the plays. So making sure that, again, the big thing is seeing the game the same way, understanding that player at that position, understanding that we want to, you know, we're calling a play for a certain reason and we want to make sure that he understands what we're trying to get out of certain play calls. Yeah, I think the flow of the game is important. You know, I learned early on when I was calling plays that you can go in with the best game plan and with, you know, hey, we're going to run the ball 30 times today. And then you get into halftime and you're like, we shouldn't run the ball 30 times today. So, you know, there's the flow of the game is huge and you've got to be able to figure it out quick. Because if you wait until halftime or if you wait until the third quarter to make an adjustment, a lot of times that ends up being too late. So being able to adjust to what we see, hopefully the game plan that we've put together is working. And, you know, there's not just a complete overhaul, but in, you know, break glass in case of emergency. Sometimes, you know, you have to make a 180. And I know Mike referenced the Houston game that we had in 21 where that was not the plan. But whatever we had in the first half wasn't working and we needed to change if we wanted to give ourselves a chance to win the game. So, you know, making sure that I have a good feel for the flow of the game. And then being aggressive when it makes sense to be aggressive. I think there's a fine difference between being reckless and being aggressive. That's a good question. You know, I'm going to be myself. So, you know, football is supposed to be fun. If it's not like it's too hard, it's too hard to do what we do if you're not enjoying yourself and not trying to get the most out of your players. So, you know, I'm going to be myself. And if that means that at one time I'm yelling or I'm a little bit more reserved, depending on who I'm talking to, you know, I think that's crucial to make sure that, again, you're doing everything you can to reach individual, to reach each individual player the best way possible. Tim, how limiting was the offensive line last year? I'm sorry. Yeah, I mean, obviously you want to make sure that you're able to keep your five best out there for as many snaps as possible. I wouldn't say that anything we did was limited. You know, are we looking to play better? I think, yeah, but I would believe everyone here in this building, if you ask them a question about do we need to play better? Everyone's going to say, yeah. So, do we need to make improvements? Absolutely. But, you know, you look at the growth that we had from, you know, thinking of Nick just at the right tackle position coming in and doing a good job and you could see the growth throughout the season. And that's just something that we're going to look to continue to build on. What do you think, Malik? Yeah, you know, Malik's doing a great job coming into the building every day, having a good routine right now. You know, he's got such a, he's got, you know, he's so charismatic. He comes in, pops his head in with his big old smile and it's exciting to see him in here building that routine and, you know, doing what it takes to be a professional quarterback. So, you know, we'll see where everything ends up, but we're excited with the process or, excuse me, with the progress that he looks like he's making right now. Well, that's the big one, is making sure that he's available and he's on the field as much as possible. But yeah, just being out there and being consistent. That was the one thing that I think when he was on the field, you know, he was pretty productive just thinking of the goalball that he caught against Jair in Green Bay. Like, that's the top five corner in the league that he went and beat in one and, you know, was able to make an explosive play for us. You look at the physical catcher, he ended up, you know, making it filled out. You know, like, he took a shot, hell on the ball. So, he's showing all the traits that we loved when he came out, not just a matter of him being consistent and doing it day in and day out. Yeah, again, it's all about, you know, a lot of times it's dictated on the individual player. So, what do they do well? How can we create different matchups on different players? And then, you know, once we're able to figure that out, putting them in that spot as many times as possible and letting them work. So, for those guys, you know, with the unique skill sets, you know, it's a good challenge to have to try and find different ways to get them the ball and to get them matched up in favorable matchups. But that's why we get paid. Yeah, I mean, anytime we take the field, we want to be able to score as many points as possible. So, obviously, that's one. What we do is making sure that we're playing the game the way that Coach Rebel wants us to play it. You know, it's not just an offense versus an offense. It's a team sport. So, there are certain times where we're going to have to play a game a certain way to put ourselves in a position to win it. So, making sure that we're doing that. And then, again, just want to continue to be versatile in how we try to attack teams. Want to be able to attack people vertically. Want to make them defend every blade of grass. So, on every snap as many times as we can. So, you know, for us, that's going to be the big thing here moving forward as we get going here and just continuing to find different ways to stress the defense. Yeah, again, I think each game is a little bit different with that. You know, there's different ways to do it. You can go in holding something until the second half. But a lot of times, if you think it's going to work, you know, and you think it's going to be a good play for you, it's hard to hold on to it for that long. Again, a lot of times the game dictates that. We want to make sure that if we're doing something that's efficient and that's given us success, that we want to do it more. And if there's something that's not working, maybe we look, you know, somewhere else on the play sheet. I know that, you know, elementary seems simple, but a lot of times, you know, that's what it is. Yeah, similar to kind of what we're talking about with the offensive line, getting, you know, improving, right? I think everybody wants to get bigger, stronger, faster. So definitely look to find guys that can help us, you know, score the ball and stretch the field. But again, I would imagine that's a pretty common response here. I mean, again, it's such a unique question because it's based upon so many things. You know, if you're able to build a huge lead running the football, like you're going to run the ball a lot. If, you know, if you're in two-minute situations, you're going to throw the ball more. So there's so many factors that go into it, as opposed to just calling a run, calling a run. I don't think it's fair to say that, you know, to give an answer to that question. Sure, yeah. I mean, again, being efficient throwing the ball, being efficient protecting the quarterback, being efficient catching the football, and being explosive when you have the ball in your hands. Absolutely. We want to improve in all those areas. So again, you know, we're going to find ways to work that with our players this off-season. And again, when we hit the grass and when the games start to count, we want to be as efficient as we can in both running the football and throwing the ball. I think we're still evaluating. You know, again, you know who the top prospects are. You know who, you know, I guess those top 100 players, we see that all the time. We see that on the bottom tickers of everything, the top 150. So those guys, you kind of know. But I'm looking forward to getting those later guys. Those, again, I think one of the gentlemen just asked in the presser about late-round success. And in San Francisco, we were able to hit and fill out our roster. You look on the back end to build and add depth where we were able to find starters. So that's the portion I'm really looking forward to getting to know. What have you learned about injuries and the plague that's gone on the last two years and how you tend to get hurt? You make that sound so bad, but yet so easy to just, oh, just do this and the guys won't get hurt. It's a violent game, right? So injuries happen. Everybody has their season where you got to deal with and you go through the injuries and there's no rhyme or reason as to why. And that's just an all-truefulness. And in 2020, we were decimated by injuries in San Francisco. We don't know why. It just happened. So again, we just got to continue to evaluate all things, all processes and figure out the best way to keep these guys healthy and keep them available for Sunday. Well, we're always open for business. All the guys, you know, you got my number, call me. But no, it's always about just being open to try to continue to add value. And so we'll listen and field every call and kind of see what comes from it. Again, because of the nature of the position, I think you go into every year making sure you know that class from top to bottom. Again, I hate to keep leaning on San Francisco, but who knew Brock Purdy was going to be, you know, Brock Purdy, the last pick of the draft. You didn't go into it. You had just taken Trey, you know, the year before you had Jimmy, who thought of taking a quarterback in the seventh. It's just, you knew the class and it's just something that happened. So I think every year you got to go into it knowing that position grew from top to bottom. I think Miko is going to be great. One thing I know about Miko, he is a great man. You know, above all, he's a great leader. And I think when you have that about you mixed in with his knowledge of the game, I think it's a recipe for success. Great family friend. I see him like my little brother. I always root for him, except for twice a year. And if we need, you know, playoff help, you know, I'll root against him. But D'Amico is going to be, he's going to be just fine. Can it be fixed? Yeah, it can be done. And we're going to, you know, work hard and try to do it. But again, it's a process and it's a process of finding the best five and being able to put not only the best five out on the field, but having those backups, you know, behind them with versatility that are able to step in. And like you said, that cohesive view and keeping that cohesion going. I think, you know, it starts with, and again, a scheme based, right? You know, so we've been predominantly an outside zone running scheme. So having guys that fit those traits and that can excel at those traits. And, you know, at the end of the day, is can you block your man? Can you keep, you know, your man away from our ball carrier? And, you know, we'll cross that and get there when it's time. Does team has shown a real preference for big receivers with few exceptions? Ryan seems to like them, Mike seems to like them. You envision you guys sticking with that? Yeah, of course. And, you know, as opposed to being big, because this is a big man, grown man sport, you know, you also want to continue to add speed, add explosiveness and, you know, guys that do things with the ball in their hands. Yeah, for sure. And, you know, we're going to do that. And, you know, that was a part of me hiring Chad Brinker, you know, as assistant GM. He has that background as well as a scouting background. So again, we want to be a full service, you know, front office and have, be able to not only trust our eyes, but trust the data as well. And while we're here, I got some flack from, you know, I talked about the Elijah Mitchell and talked about Demico and talked about Demetrius, but I left off one person, Mike McDaniels. He actually made the tape that everybody. So, Mike, I hope you see that. I hope we're good now. Mike's changed. You know, Mike went from a background guy to now he wants all the credit, so I'm giving Mike all his credit right now. You know, we had a good talk with Taylor in the moment of his release. I think the focus right now for Taylor is getting healthy and seeing where he is at the end of the process and making a decision on his future. And I think we're across that bridge once he's healthy. So Bud is a guy that I don't have any, you know, experience with. You know, obviously he was signed and here under the previous regime. And so Bud is another guy on the team that I need to get to know. And so I understand the question and know, you know, everybody wants to know about his future, but, you know, Bud is on our team and Bud is a guy that we're going to continue to evaluate. I mean, we're going to make moves as needed. You know, again, free agencies coming up, we've got to be able to sign players to kind of help us move forward. And again, I continue to talk about the puzzle. You know, we've got to continue to move those pieces around to create that picture at the end. Well, Ben's healthy. And I think, you know, Ben is an older player that he's, you know, still working through some things. So, you know, with Ben, Ben's a pro and he's a pro's pro. And so we're going to continue to let him get healthy and then go from there. And maybe more stronger depth at that position where he could have like a one, two, one, two, three punch. So I didn't know where you were going. I'm sensitive when we talk about running backs, Ben, a former runner back. I didn't know where you were going there. No, I mean, that's a, again, that's a position that you want to continue to, you know, grow at, you know, Haskins and those guys, you know, they just need opportunities to prove who they are and what they're worth. And I think those guys are talented. Again, running back is one of those positions. You've got to get touches to kind of show what you're doing. So I don't think it's fair to say that we don't have a one, two punch. It's just those guys just need more opportunities. That's a good one. Trying to think, I have some really good conversations with Malik. They've all gone well. Brewer is one that sticks out. Man, we talked from old school cars, pickup trucks to everything. So it was a cool conversation. Again, all the guys that have come in, you know, have been great. And again, it's nothing job-related, performance-related. We're just talking to get to know each other as guys, you know, and that's a big part for me because as much time and as much effort as we've put into knowing the player, I feel it's as important to know the person, right? Because there are people more than they are players. And so that's really what it's all about and everybody that I've spoken to, I felt like I built a good rapport with. What Jeff Fisher said you're really good at painting pictures of players and offering comps. Do you agree with that assessment? And what makes you good at it? Why is it important to maybe draw comps? So I appreciate that, Fish. You know, it's kind of, again, drawing a comp kind of helps paint the picture, right? For someone who may not understand exactly what I'm saying, but if I can tell you, oh, this guy reminds me of, then you can kind of see that vision because you've seen that work. And that just comes from, you know, having grown up in the game, but then just a lot of film study and knowing, you know, the pro side of it. And I think that just helps, again, just bring that picture to light because when you're presenting your report, you're the author, you're the painter, you're trying to show what your vision of that player is and any stroke of the brush that can help do that, you got to use it. So the one thing that I talked to Malik about was just continue to grow as a quarterback. And that's not just throwing the ball. That's not, you know, all these different things, but quarterback is so much more mental than it is physical. And I think, you know, from that standpoint, I just, you know, taught him about being able to lead the locker room, being able to have that presence and continuing just to, you know, reach out to some of the greats in our game and guys that are helping. So we've been able to connect and he's reached out to, you know, other quarterbacks in the league to kind of serve his mentors for him, which kind of shows, you know, what he is as a person and where he sees himself and where he wants to go. The dynamic of working with Rand during this process, he says that, you know, he wants to bring in players that fit your style and what you want. I mean, how important is that? And if there is a difference of opinion on a player or a move, who breaks the tie? Well, I think that that relationship has continued to grow and develop and, you know, excited about bridging his staff and the, you know, him and Chad are new and a lot of everybody else that's been here, our staff from the coaching standpoint have loved those communications about starting free agency and now with the draft and where we're headed and putting our coaches out on pro day. So, you know, that relationship is only getting stronger and building. And I think whether it's my vision or his vision, our team and organization's vision, that's our goal is to try to bring in, you know, players that, you know, we always talk about it, that are winners that love football and have a level of speed and violence and versatility, you know, and are willing to put the team first. So, that's all we're trying to do. How has that been in that, you know, process as you're getting into the evaluation of prospects of free agents and everything, that interaction with Rand? Great. It's been great. I think that it's been open. We've been able to listen to our coaches, listen to our scouts and then, you know, provided an ample opportunity for him and I to discuss and, you know, try to come up with a plan. And that plan will, you know, continue to change throughout, you know, the off-season with free agency just a couple of weeks away. He told us about, you guys, all of your assistants giving them like 20 play reels. Like, this is what I really am looking for. How much has that kind of really put it into action is finding new people that do what he wants? Well, I think that that's a great opportunity, one for our coaches and our staff to go back and make sure and think and look how we want to identify players, whether that be at the tight end position and saying, man, he's not a mauler. You know, let's just look for somebody else or saying this is what's out there. These are really good players. We've got to find ways to have them help us in our offense. So that's been a really good project for our coaches just to say, hey, how do we want these players to look on the edge? How do we want them to look inside? How do we want these safeties to look? How do we want these offensive linemen to look? And we talked about being able to protect the quarterback. So it's been, I think, a great exercise, not only for looking for play style and skill set, but also just making sure that we're good from a fundamental standpoint and a philosophy standpoint as we evaluate players. So I was excited to be able to ask our coaches to do that and have them take that feedback and be able to study it and put it on the system. He said he relied on you and the assistant coaches a lot to assess the current roster as far as who can do what and maybe was asked to do something they weren't quite good at. How has that process gone in terms of him coming to you and asking for your opinions on those? Well, I mean, that's what I would hopefully expect throughout our organization, is that there are two sides that have to come to an agreement on adding players or making decisions on players. That's part of our daily conversation. These aren't meetings that have to be scheduled. These are conversations that happen. We share a wall and our offices, I can either walk around one side or I can walk outside and get to it the other way. So they're easy conversations and those are the beginning of many, many conversations about the roster. I am going to say this for every player. I'm as open to adding great players to our roster, whether that's at quarterback, that's at running back, that's at defensive line, corner. I do believe that we have, we've got some needs and some holes. I've told you that I've asked them to look for players that have an element of speed, violence and versatility. That's what I want to look for and look for offensive linemen that can protect the quarterback. Whether that's Ryan, whether that's Malik, that's Josh Dobbs, whoever that may end up being. Those are things that we have to do a better job at. That speed comes packaged differently at wide receivers. It's generally gone big. Yeah. Super value. So if you're drafting a receiver... That's not bad. If you're drafting a receiver... Well, I think that you're looking for how they are able to produce with the skill set that they have. And big and fast is a great place to start knowing that we need to get faster throughout our roster. But there's a couple ways to skin a cat and making sure that you're not... If you come off that model a little bit, there has to be some other things. If a guy doesn't have 34-inch arms and you're like, well, we'd really like to have that. Are there other skill sets that they exhibit and can they function and do their job outside of that? So we know kind of where we need to be with that position in a wide receiver room. And then we'll just kind of carve out, see where we end up in free agency, see where we end up in the draft. And then, obviously, as players become available, there's different opportunities to add players to your roster. Could have five, Jimmy. I don't know. I'm not into prediction business. I don't know. But I know that we're going to find guys that exhibit the way that we want to play within the framework of the rules and that they finish and they value staying between their man in a quarterback and that they finish longer than the guy with the ball. There's a level of durability. They can stay on their feet. And they can learn and they can understand what we have to do. And there's some instincts there. That's what our job is. That's our job. It's figuring out where we're at with the roster. Taking a look at the salary cap, what we think is what we want to do with the cap and going and finding players and having collaboration between the coaches and personnel, me, Rand, Chad, Ryan, anybody that can help. And that's been the one thing that I've been most proud of is that everybody, at least from the coaching stand, I sit in there and listen and they talk and they ask them questions about the player and the coach is talking. Whether I agree with them or disagree with them, they're being heard. And then ultimately, Rand and I have to make a great decision. Since we talked to the Alaskans, Justin Alton has been hard on me. I'm not good at addition to that. And where are you with the rest of your staff? Well, we're close. Luke wanted to go to Chicago. So Luke's going to Chicago. He's happy for Chase to be able to become a special teams coordinator. He knew that he probably would do that when we hired him. I want to support. And I know that you guys mention it, but the whole idea is that we hire really good people, let them do their job, find ways to promote them from within when it's earned and there's opportunity. And we can't offer those opportunities that we try to find those opportunities somewhere else for them. Speaking of Justin, this was a guy that, you know, a person that started out as a special ed teacher and coached football and special ed. And, you know, the interview went really well from things that we believe about teaching and being creative and teaching and making a connection with players. I talked to numerous players that he's coached and that was something that they said was like, man, you know, he found a way to connect with me and make me want to learn what we were doing. Had some experience with the offensive line, experience, you know, coordinating whatever capacity that was in Denver, called the last two games out there. He's a good football coach, good teacher, told him, you know, coming in. This was the spot that we had open. We had a running back spot. This is what the vision I had. He turned down some other opportunities and I'm really, you know, excited. I didn't know Timmy and Charles and, you know, everybody over there was excited. Well, very valuable. You know how I feel about Terrell and what he's meant to our program since I've been here. The consistency on and off the football field, the relationship and the connection that he's built with every defensive lineman. So, yeah, I was able to, and rightfully so, name him assistant head coach for defense because that's what he is, you know, and I watch the players and whether it's an offensive player, a defensive player outside of his position, you know, they have a tendency to find big T or he has a tendency to find him. So, you know, he's a valuable member to our staff and we're lucky to have him. What was the question? I think that that spot offensively. I think, you know, we will. We'll be looking. We have started to look. We need somebody in there that can help with the run diagrams. That can help with, you know, some of the film breakdown. So, you know, we'll try to add who we feel like is the best person and the best fit for that job. Obviously, you guys let Taylor go. What can you say about the impact that he had on the organization just in terms of establishing a winning culture? I've spent five years with Taylor, you know, and I would say I can only view, you know, he was injured. There was injured that he dealt with, but I would say that his attitude and impact when he was out there was felt appreciated, you know, and some of those things he can't control. So, was able to play with, you know, a play demeanor that we certainly appreciated, whether that was being in Houston or coaching him here. So, you know, we have a really good open relationship. You know, wish him the best. You know, we've had a lot of conversations and like I told him, you know, see where you're at. Still want to play. Sounds like he does. We could always revisit that, but, you know, those aren't conversations that we're having right now. Because David Long's injury has performed his control better and how much does it affect him as you look to maybe negotiate? You know, durability is critical. You know, durability is critical in this league. We only have so many players on the roster and David has meant a lot to us. You know, in his development as a player. So, I know that we'll have conversations with him about you know, coming back on our football team. So, everybody knows that durability in this sport is critical. Some of those things are unavoidable. But, you know, those are things we have to take into account. Well, it's about you know, putting a staff together there was some turnover. Making sure that my communication with Ran and his scouts and his personnel is critical. I want them to be able to approach me and have conversations with me. So, I've really tried to you know, foster that. Whether that was to go down at a senior bowl or spend time in those draft meetings and leave some of the coaching stuff to Shane and Tim here in the past couple weeks or a week or so. But I felt like that was important for me to go in there, visit with them, have them talk through the board. Their players in their area, the cross check really helped me prepare for this week as I come up here and met with some of those players last night and will continue to do that tonight and you know, tomorrow. Mike, this is a time of year when you're in finance, but are there certain things in particular that you're looking for that may not be as obvious when you get to sit down with a guy? All we're looking for, all I'm looking for is authenticity. I don't want somebody that their agent thought we wanted to talk to or somebody that someone said they should be. I don't know what color you're going to be in the middle of the season when they feel like it and maybe things aren't going great just looking for who that person is and is there a willingness to learn is there a willingness to put the team first and do whatever is asked of them. With the holes you have, financial constraints that you have in six picks, enough? Sure. I'm never going to say that it's not enough. I don't know any different. At this point, nobody's going to win. Somebody's going to win March and they're going to add the best free agent class. I'm pretty sure that the Chiefs didn't win March in free agency, but they developed and continued to improve. That's just, I guess, we were a little different this year. I felt like we grinded out some games. Lost a close one here and there, but we normally had been at our best and finding ways to improve and we just weren't able to do it this year, which was reflective of how we finished the season and felt like maybe if anything, we just sat down at the blackjack table a little too long and I think probably the odds ended up not in our favor, but we know what the formula is here and we're going to get back to work and excited about those players that'll be coming in on April 17th and then starting the off-season program and then seeing where we go in the draft. You talked about Tim Kelly being the OC before, but he also talked about what you want to see from the offense. Is it a matter of you just telling Tim, all right, this is what I want or will you have a hand in helping him develop that offense? Well, it's never about just what I want. I mean, I have ideas and thoughts, but it's certainly you want to do what's best for the players and what they can understand. That's the thing about coaching is great. There's no right or wrong answer. It's what you believe and what you can most importantly get the players to believe and go out and execute under pressure, under duress to give them answers to succeed versus pressure or give them answers whether it's defensively to do their job. So, there'll be things that I'll say, hey, can we... I more come in with the technique and is this what we're reasonably going to ask this player to do? I know it looks great on the board you know, to clinic talk, but you know, is this something that... and that goes for every position. Try to put yourself in a place of a player and say, can we reasonably expect this player to do that? It's not Jeff Simmons or the elite player, but you know, can we reasonably expect you know, somebody to do that technique? Sorry. Is having Tim now being the play caller, is that an advantageous situation for Ryan and some of the other veterans so that there's not a radical scheme change or anything? I wouldn't say that there's not going to be a radical scheme change. You know what I mean? I think that that is still in the process of being built and there'll be things that are different. That's... that was part of, you know, the interview process. So, I don't think that there'll be some things that I really like and that Tim really likes and the offensive staff like that we feel like we do well and there'll be some things that we do differently and that we'll have to do better. He's already, you know, dove into the offseason, communicated with us about where he's been and working with different coaches with Group and Jacksonville and reporting back and it's just his demeanor, you know, walking through the building and seeing him in the cafeteria, you know, he understands what it's supposed to look like being a starting quarterback or being a quarterback in this league and you have to be on, you know, when you're coming into building. It's just a certain presence that you have to have. Yeah, I know it will. It'll be in. I mean, we have to identify what's the best way to teach some of this stuff. Paul is, you know, do we want to add concepts or do we want to add, you know, different run schemes, pass schemes, you know, change the language, how do we want to install different teams and we have to identify what's the best way to teach some of this stuff. Paul is, you know, change the language, how do we want to install it each and every day and, you know, is it the model of you're going to put it all in and see what sticks or you're just going to focus on this first and second down package or you want to focus on a red zone. I keep going back to that. Whatever we're going to do in the red zone we need to start doing in the spring because, you know, that's where we've done in the past. Those are some of the same plays that we're scoring on and helping us score and that's where we've been efficient. We've got to identify, you know, what we're doing at the line of scrimmage. We've had pre-snap penalties and, you know, how we help Nick through some of those that, you know, whether it's just being excited about the match up or understanding, you know, the cadence and, you know, going through three different quarterbacks that's three different cadences and maybe it's just that simple and I don't think that it is, but, you know, we have to be better in some areas and, you know, in our penalties and how we, you know, play the game with technique and fundamentals. Well, I'm never going to give you, you know, a timeline or prognosis of it. I know he's working his tail off. He looks great from a physical standpoint. So as long as he continues down that path, I think that we'll be, you know, things will be positive for him whenever they say it's time to go. So he looks good. His attitude is good. I know, obviously, he was frustrated when it happened, but I think that the realization is, you know, that players can come back from this injury and be really, really good. I don't know if there's more voices and, you know, hands on deck. I mean, Keith was very influential in the run game. I think there'll probably be more voices formulating the run game between, you know, Justin and Haas, Sully, Tim, obviously, you know, me whenever I, you know, want to put something in, I guess. But, you know, I think that was something that probably Keith managed as far as the run game. So I don't think there's any more voices. I think there's just newer voices, so to speak. Yeah, I guess that's a good way to look at it. I just was able to try to, you know, try to have a vision for the staff, the athletes, and the opportunity to get some coaches. So you have to do different things to try to get them all there. You know, I don't think that's fair to say, Randy and I got a great relationship. I've enjoyed, you know, nothing I'm going to tell you about, certainly, Cam. I think that that's played for his dad. I watch his dad coach, you know. He does a great job of walking around the building. You know, feel like their job is really important. I'll say that, and I appreciate that.
