 Yeah, a few things first We didn't hit on this yesterday, but there were a couple series where Jalen Hawkins came in for the wrong time in is that what's going on? I guess in that situation No, I think you're looking way more into than what it is We feel good about most of those guys are up on game day And as we evolve in the season guys have different roles and different packages and the more guys that we have it can play Multiple roles better will be And maybe this goes for Richie Grant as well Is that trying to get them work at this point like is this something that you see going forward again I think here's all it is. There's guys that are young players You look at Mayfield the same plan we had to bring him along got expedited right you get injuries and goes in there And he played much better. That's why I said last week. You don't jerk the wheel with guys like that You got to give him a chance to to improve so we all of a sudden you're not sitting there every time looking over Shoulder one mistake and then at some point this in you know during a game or if we're going really wrong You got to maybe shake things up But like I don't want I give John guys the chance to bounce back and play through mistakes. It was a rookie in his first game You look at Richie rich Rich is having a big impact right now on special teams We think Richie will have a long productive career and there's a right way and Eric and Duran are very Smart savvy vets and then Hawk same thing those guys have been productive on teams You know the more you can get more versatile I mean it's a long season and so the more you can build different personnel package the better off will be And that's kind of where we're at with it Well, like of every position if we'll continue to Turn the roster if we you know we feel that's best for it But the same thing kind of we got to evaluate with no different than Mayfield last week You know there's some things and came probably the first one to tell you that You know a couple kicks you'd like back But we'll assess that throughout the week and so but that's every spot if there's there's ways we think we can upgrade this roster We will Probably I mean but we you know we have workouts every week Michael so and then there's a lot of different things You can do these days because of the roster flexibility Give you a chance to have a little competition if you need it or a little safety of something, you know goes wrong Which we've done with the line Part of the same strategy last week with the line. So That's where I like the new rules with the roster flexibility. I think it helps it helps you build depth and Gives you that flexibility People wanted to look we got guys dropping for everywhere Zay's done a really good job plays inside corner for us that nickel spot And he can play multiple roles. And so again goes back with the same theme of versatility Yeah, I don't know where that narrative came from that he was going to be a safety He's always been an inside corner for us to flex to go outside and we feel like he can drop over the field the better off We're at we are excuse me. So He's doing a decent job in his role And so the six passes are 20 yards or more a hard job break those down and Well, you know look it's the ones that hurt you although, you know, those are in your different coverage as you may be playing obviously, you don't want to give up big passes, but But we got to do a better job making them kick fuel goals and in that and they get in the red zone We gave the defense a short field. Obviously. I went forward on fourth and one didn't get it gave him a short field You know, they had 21 points off turnovers to tip pick six is late I was and then you know the one obviously coming out of half, you know, we didn't you know You got a short field. We had a chance to pick it right back. We didn't they go down score So that's 21 points off turnovers, you know Short punt like I said the fourth and one so we got to make sure when we go out there and you know People do gain yards You got to make them kick fuel walls. So when you're in some of the zone defenses, you're at You don't get pressure or wherever, you know, they move somebody out the spot underneath They got a couple back in there the ones that kill you are the 40 yard plus touchdowns I mean you got to live with some of those you don't want them But if they get some of those chunks, you got to be able to rally to get them off the field Yeah, we're still in the evaluation process with them so again, I can give you more information as the week goes on I'm not gonna comment either way the lead just we let the doctors do their job. I'm not a doctor and you know, I don't want to You know, you've got to be very we take those very serious anytime somebody says there's a head injury They're all different, but I'll let the medical professionals handle that We got look at the short yard package given There's a lot of things you go through there and as a play caller. Hey, what could I have done differently? You know the thing is some of those you got to get the play started You know multiple reasons we weren't all coming off at the same time They let the noise affect us or not You know, and then you're backed up and yeah, you look at everything I mean they did a good job there. We got to get off on the ball. Give yourselves a chance And then you look at other things you could do, you know where you're at right there So it all comes in play, but that's that's every week D led, you know when things don't work You got to start a schematically. What could I've done better? You look at some of the personal matchups They are tough. They pack it in there and that's why you I think you saw some there's Productive runs other spots. There's things that we felt we could have done a better job of But yes, certainly that that's all fair D led when things are you don't convert third and one third and one fourth and one It keeps you up at night Yeah, no, he's he's another guy, you know, he started out of safety, you know He's got to have an impact force on fourth down and he came in there and You know, obviously the one that's gonna get highlighted You get the red zone matchup right there one-on-one, but in the scheme of things and the same thing with the rush plans You know everybody, you know when you can just one one-on-one certainly up front or a man in coverage Those are the plays that you know to me There's there's a few guys that do that do it well consistently But I thought TJ competed played well into the scheme like everybody just like coaches things You wouldn't you wish you had back. I'm sure the players feel the same way Did you see a lot of ways look he Going against a pretty good front and I thought he stepped up and that's what you want to find out about people You know, it doesn't have the game that he probably envisioned to start Neither did I and so he comes back and that's what you find out about people You know, it's you don't find out of people until you have some kind of struggle You don't find about the culture of a team until you get back and you know There's no citizen of moral victories, but I do appreciate the way these guys fought, you know, you go down And especially in the second half 28 to 10 guys kept swinging made it made plays But ultimately we didn't make enough plays to win. That's why I did it the way it did. They made the plays we didn't but So No, those things were encouraging But that's what you find out about players and coaches when things aren't going the right way And I think that you got to give Mayfield a lot of credit nothing was perfect There's always things we can clean up, but he stood up and he blocked some of the better guys in the league Pits make some nice catches, but how has he continued to learn from each tape and continue to grow? Have you seen that kind of steady? I think there's a lot of things Kyle proved yesterday that some of things they'll never go on the stat sheet you watch the tape You know handle a lot of different jobs, which makes us better as an offense when he can do that And you can play multiple roles for us. And so as he continues to grow and develop. I mean, that's why It's why we drafted him. And so that's encouraging to see You know where you're at, you know, obviously you look at those You know the the ones that happen, you know when you're depending on the scheme you're running You know We dropped back 48 times give or take and Which was encouraging and you talk about growth from the week from week one to week two and that's just the flow of the game Where we needed to go But I think a lot of times too we got to do a better job Understanding when guys aren't rushing guys are tired. It's a hot it's physical You know that's gonna get that mush rush and they did a nice job getting them We got to continue to work on that stuff to make sure that we can get those guys down And we got to look at what we're doing schematically as well Told you guys we work on speed I Know we'll have to adapt we'll have to see where AJ's at What we got guys that can fill in play multiple roles So whether that's TJ, you know Darren Hall Zay, I mean it just depends on you know We'll know more as we gain plan and see that the health of the team get into Wednesday I know that he Yeah, you know some of the two I think you see You know when you get in these games and you get long drives When guys get fatigued, you know the details do matter and a lot of that affects that you better never know But just what may be asking the spacing on a route which takes the timing off the quarterback You know, maybe you're holding the ball a tick longer, you know, and then it looks like protection So it all goes together. I mean It's that way in all three phases. It's a subtle details that you know the ones that are obvious And that's no knock on anybody, you know, you're watching on TV and I think football is a great sport for TV You love The passion people have for but you know, that's the logistical game Yeah, I called the game within the game, you know, the unintended consequences guys get tired You know, that's where that's the stuff keeps up at night, too. You're we're not at the right depth Maybe here or there There's a lot of progress made but not enough and when you're playing really good teams on the road and You know, we didn't we didn't make enough plays at the end and that's why I got away from us I want to go back to what you talked about TJ green before on that goal line play What's the philosophy between by putting him in there on in that package on that play against Mike Evans? Just there's a lot of things it's the way they get matched up depends on the call Michael whether you're a man You're in zone where you're at the game why you didn't you know to just sub people and then you know, they it was Again, it looked like a run alert and they liked what they saw over there And I expect TJ to improve but you know, you can't take away everything and that's part of it And some of the times it depends on the call and then again, you play against the experienced quarterback most most offenses It's a game of you know, cat and mouse. They see something they check to it And yeah, and like I said, I mean it's a they went to a run alert fade I believe maybe they didn't maybe it was just a called fade and you drop back and threw it and They made the play and so yeah a lot of it is what but the call is who's in the game win Multiple reasons guy may be fatigued. I may be injured a lot of things that go into it The pressure y'all got defensively yesterday versus a week ago, is that more of what you feel like this defense could be? I think it kind of goes back to where he asked me about offense about the details a lot of times in your rush plan Like I said when you when you you've got four guys That just went one-on-one consistently it could be a nightmare and you've seen that over history You know take over but when you don't Necessarily there's a lot of different ways you can affect the quarterback and so with a lot of our rush plans There's things we thought we did we weren't very consistent with last week clearly and Philly and allowed, you know Escape the pocket whatever it is, but I think what you saw improvement was a was a player Dante got it got on the sack fumble You know, he doesn't go you don't fly by the quarterback. He's able to counter rush Covers is where it needed to be and he was able to come back and make a counter move and make a big play to alter the game So that was impressive. I think there's other other and there's all part of there's and I'm not gonna give for you or give away Too many schemes, but it does take when you're running different pressures or you know the way maybe you asking guys It takes all 11 to do that every once a while guys There's one-on-one and everybody in the stand sees it right, but I think what you're starting to see at times And we got to do a better job in the red zone Is playing cohesive and that audit that does go where you're setting things up in the rush But I thought Dante yesterday too. I mean under radio. I mean he's he's he's flying around and Doing his job and not trying to you know press and just go one-on-one all the time With this defense going back to AJ I think you look at the play that he you know ended up getting hurt mine But it was a pretty spectacular play that he made. I mean you talk up people talk all the time Like you lay your body out on the field Yeah, what type of example do you think he said in that moment? Well, yeah, no, it's really two guys you know he goes over there and you know trying to You know different look for maybe and then you know Zay's right there, too So both those guys are in position and AJ goes up there and he kind of shows off well, you know why Why we believe he's got a chance to be a pretty good player for us if he keeps Progressing because he does he drops back in there and zone makes a hell of a play And then you know Zay was right in the right spot, too So that was encouraging. It was unfortunate what happened. But yeah, those guys are selling out We got a group of fighters in there like I said We got to continue to press and improve and you know, obviously it starts this week with New York You know, there are a couple days ahead of us preparing and we got our work cut out for us I New York Yeah, you know Joe Joe have those guys ready to go Same thing. I mean, this is a you know, you don't want to be in this spot, but we are it's a reality We got 15 more to go. We got it We got to get prepare ourselves to go up there and go win a football game And we need to do it there. They're probably saying the same thing up in New York or New Jersey today And so we know it's gonna be a challenge going the road. It'll be a tough football game They'll be sound. It's good scheme. So we know we got a work cut off for us Yeah, I'd probably give you a better take on that on Wednesday, but we know he's a hell of a player How much you need to say a couple days ahead, right? Like how much of a true difference is that mini by when Yeah, it depends how you use it so You know whether you're talking about you know recovery you're talking about just jumping on You know, maybe the game plan it can it can help you if you use it, right? You know the same thing you could use it wrong where you can overthink everything and tear up a couple game plans Why two or three times so Goes both ways, but certainly You'd like to think it gives you somewhat of an advantage Sure Yeah No, just depends, you know one of those years if you're if you're really beat up and you're able to get guys back You you would love to have that the real by late in the year, but it is what it is, you know That's it's a they make the schedule and we got to adapt That's what you get paid to do to make the best decisions for When Terry and I meet and go over as an entire football staff. How do we want to handle the early by? Obviously, we're going to London which adds a different dynamic when you come back and then what I call mini by those Thursday night games And it's all set up, you know, we're on the road before at least we're coming back home You know, we're really can get tough as if you're on the road on Sunday, and then you got to play again On Thursday That can make it even a bigger crunch in the week But yeah, you got to plan that stuff out and you got to assess where you're at You are the last partner put off on the second You know what? Can you see yourself like last week? I look at everything and stay with James. Sure. Is it a possibility? We can absolutely, you know, it's as you guys know I'll tell you it's a it's a tough tough business But we all know what we sign up for and so they're certainly You get in there and we got we got to make sure we're doing the best Make the best decision for this team, but we also at the same time and there's some positive cams done And so we you know, I can give you a better assessment on Wednesday Just like we talked about with Jalen last week, you know It's a fine line of not going crazy jerking the wheel But also giving yourself some options and some competition if we feel that's best for us But nothing's off the table Thank you
