 I mean, I think certainly, yeah, I mean, give them credit and, you know, we're, we're at fault, you know, the same way. It's when you talk about the first key is being able to, you know, attack the road environment and come out and great field position. And then the pre snap penalties, which was something that, you know, we practiced and talked about and worked on and, you know, not being able to do that. You know, just put you behind, you know, first in 15 is a tough place to be. Not that it can't be overcome, but certainly don't want to start drives like that or start him four times like that. So, yeah, there's some rust, some, some good execution and some, some execution that has to improve. And, and I'm sure that I'm positive that it will. Well, I don't think it's a new feature of the offense or just trying to get everybody involved. And, you know, I think it's continued to find ways to get Taj and Derek in there. Derek certainly gave us a chance to win his performance and and so did Taj. You know, tried to hit him a few times down the field. Certainly his, his average when he carried the football would lend itself to tell us that, that he has to carry it more and, you know, try to continue to find ways to get both of them involved at the same time and in same package and whatever it may be. To that four minute offense with that game being close. One of the trademarks has been Derek Henry in the fourth quarter. He only got three carries there. Was there anything behind that? Was there a reason why he wasn't featured as much? No, not specifically. We weren't in that, you know, four minute mode. We were trying to go score. You know, I mean, I wish that, I wish that we were, you know, I wish that, you know, we were able to be in that mode. But no, you know, I mean, just trying to get in the flow of the game and some of the things that have been working and then, you know, being, being behind, you know, certainly needing to touch down and then the long yardage and, you know, it kind of takes him a little bit out of the game. And it'll, it'll be, you know, Derek will be a large part of what we do. But, but when you get into third and longs and you get into second and 15s and, you know, we had the second and 20 that we threw him a swing pass to. You know, he's going to continue to help us. Yeah, I don't know. I don't. I wish that I knew. I wish that I could tell you we have to be better. Ryan has to be better. We have to hit guys that are open and we can't, we can't force the ball into double coverage. And so we have to, you know, give them cleaner pockets like we gave them in the second half earlier. There were some of that and they, again, we can point to them when the play goes bad. We can point to a lot of different things, but, you know, we have to be better. We can't, we can't turn the football over. We can't get punts blocked and on and on and on. Might you have been over determined to get the ball to DeAndre? I mean, I think maybe, you know, we, we have, you know, when you, when you play quarterback, there's, you know, you can't just sit there and, you know, it's a yes, no, you're going to go to a side and obviously, you know, if the DB is underneath, we probably don't want to throw a back shoulder. We can't throw a back shoulder. I'm okay with the decision, you know, when you're over here and, you know, you're going to, you're going to give DeAndre a chance, but you got to give them a better chance and, you know, but I just think that there's times where if guys double covered, we certainly need to progress through and to progress through, you have to have a, you know, past protection to be able to take an extra hit or to be able to come back and work, work the backside. This morning, just how's he kind of responded after? Well, I mean, he's already been in here with the receivers and, you know, been in here with the coaches and he'll respond like, like he has. He's, he's been a great competitor for us. He's been unbelievably tough and determined. You know, I'm positive that those results will, will be different. Was recovered well enough from the knee injury or was he having any issues in terms of separation and those sorts of things? Well, I mean, there were times that trailing was open. There was times that trailing was open and caught the ball. There was times that he was open and unfortunately dropped the one. Trailing is going to be a big part of what we do, you know, moving forward and just understanding, you know, where he fits for us and what he can do to help us. And, you know, that's, I've tried to explain to every skilled player on our team, you know, when it's a pass, your job is to, to get open and you can't control whether you get the ball or not. The only thing that you can control is, is that you're open and sometimes that he, you know, he was and sometimes that they were, you know, give them credit. They played, you know, on body and they, you know, played square and forced us to, you know, get open. In those type of situations with personal, I know in the past, like Tony Doos would communicate with Derek, hey, you're out, you're in, et cetera, with the new coach. How does that work now, with Coach Ottenau in the mix? The same way, but, you know, J.O.'s upstairs and Tony handles, you know, substitution and, you know, we have different packages that we call on or the coordinator calls on that he wants in the game. And, you know, those guys go in there and sub or if Derek, you know, has a 46 yard screen pass and needs a break, then Derek will, you know, kind of do that as well. Yeah, you know, I think so. You know, just figuring a rookie kicker, 52 yarder, you know, wasn't thrilled with the third down, you know, them getting down there. So I made a decision and he made the kick. Do you mind elaborating a little bit on that difficult decision of the fifth field goal as well and kind of what went into that? Well, I think at the time it wasn't a difficult decision. You know, I thought our chances and still believe that is to play defense with three timeouts and get the ball back with our offense with one timeout, get the ball somehow into the 35 yard line and make a kick. And we had converted two third downs and fourth and sixth with that amount of space for them to cover. I didn't think that that was going to be our best way to win the football game. I believe our best way to win that game would have been to play defense, stop them, which we didn't do, which is unfortunate, and then somehow find a way to make a kick. Had you not gotten it, they would have been inside your 10 yard line and all likelihood. Does then how they handle that? No, because again, we're still going to probably, you still would need a touchdown and you'd still need, you know, at least 65 yards. No, it was our thought process was to use the two minute warning, have a timeout for our offense, you know, and be able to move the ball, you know, 40 yards to be able to attempt the field goal. That decision and that was all field not concerned about analytics. You're just looking at the field again. I mean, you can run the numbers, but also I think that there's a certain level of we all watch the same game and points were hard to come by. You know, both defenses were doing a nice job and competing and getting red zone stops that, you know, they got a third and seven that they scored a touchdown on. But just the flow of the game and the way that I felt like what our best chance for victory was was to do that to make the kick to cover the kickoff. Use the two minute warning and get a stop. Interception fumble play and I'm sure you saw the Jacksonville game yesterday, almost an identical play that went the other way. Would they tell you about why they did why they didn't let that play out and why they didn't reverse the call? Never talked to Ron. Certainly not going to reverse it in replay. Those are you're going to watch throughout the next week. It's going to be a fumble the week after that it's going to be an incompletion the week after that it's going to be a fumble. And the what they're going to tell you in replay is that the call in the field matters. The call in the field is important. I would love for it to let it play out and go to replay, you know, show the clip last year same exact situation. I think it was week one. I think it was the Chargers and Washington ball on the ground and a every player on our team. I'm like, is it a fumble or an incomplete? And they say we don't know. And I said that's exactly right. Like they know that they know that they're not sure. So Kevin and everybody responded exactly how we want them to knew that they blew it dead. So knew that we would just get the ball at the spot, but also knew that it was going to be hard to reverse and replay because of what the call in the field was. It's going to be the next week. There's going to be another one guys. I don't know what to tell you. There's nothing I can do. There is nothing I can do. Speed of the game and let it let it go to replay and maybe, you know, let them all go to replay and let replay, you know, decide. And if maybe clear and obvious doesn't doesn't get it done, then we need a different term because a lot of these quarterback, you know, I mean, they're all happening. You know, those are the ones that are hard is the ball in the hand is coming forward. And I can see where the conflict occurs. It's not why we lost the game. I just want them to be decisive and want them to I would like for them to, if they're not sure, you know, allow replay to sort it out. That's why we play to the recovery of the ball and not the whistle or anything like that. I think it's a I think it's a difficult job on the field. I think when you look at it in replay, it becomes somewhat reasonable to expect that you could determine whether it was a forward pass or a fumble. But I know having stood back behind the quarterback that that is more difficult than some other calls. You guys can just ask the league about what they instruct the officials to do. Well, I mean, I certainly am not going to be able to speak for them. I apologize. Whatever the call is, we're going to have to adjust to it and figure it out. But if they want to talk to you, they're happy to talk to you. What do you think of Harold's first game back and might it take him a little bit of time to kind of get back to full form? Well, you know, we've expected a lot from Harold and he does a lot for us and he'll have to continue to help us and will and be more impactful. You know, they chipped him a couple of times and, you know, was able to get in there a few times. And we just, you know, we're expecting and we are positive that we'll get good things from Harold. What do you see in the week to get a lot of looks from Kiko when he was the elevation and maybe had some other guys that were active that weren't playing as much as he was? Peco's always been somebody that's, you know, done it exactly the way we need it to be done and can play multiple positions. And so he can rotate in there for Tierra or Jeff and, you know, playing base, decided to take four guys to the game. And that may change based on practice, game plan, you know, who we have. But, you know, he's always been a dependable player and somebody that can play multiple positions. Disruptive as a guy as you see maybe for week one. Well, I thought him and Danico, you know, certainly affected a quarterback and made plays on the football. Danico, you know, had some tackle for loss and showed up in the backfield and set the edge when we needed to. And both of them, you know, factored and that was, you know, really good to see. We'll need a lot of it, but those were the camps. Those guys had those type of camps and so we'll need to, you know, we'll need as much as that as we can get. You said you take a guy back into the game when they tell you they can come back into the game. In hindsight, was Christian equipped to come back in the game? He was kind of galloping with the limp there. I mean, when we see him run on the sidelines and the trainer tells me he's cleared. You know, he was playing on third down in the second half. We'll see where he is going forward. How did you get there first out of the Diller and Hubbard? Well, I thought that they, you know, Dre, we talked about it, you know, just probably a few sets that were a little soft. Maybe just not knowing or not feeling him where he was. I think after we continued to bring it to his attention and realize that he wasn't doing a good enough job of setting the width of the pocket, I thought it improved. I thought there was some, you know, some good snaps of him in the run game. I thought Chris did a nice job over there on Cam Jordan. I thought when the end tried to spike or got a little heavy on, when Jordan got a little heavy on Chris, he went and captured the outside number and gave him a shove and Derrick ran outside for 15 or 16 yards. But there was also some, there were some good plays and some bad plays and, you know, but I thought it was a good place to start. I loved how they responded in the second half and we had some good pockets in the second half, probably better so than in the first half. What's the dropper technique like for a corner? DBA to defend a double move by a receiver? Not look in the backfield, start there and play the man and, you know, if you break on the first move and you go through the man, you know, it's an illegal contact or a holding. But certainly nobody's trying to defend a double move by looking in the backfield. That'd be the most important place to start. What did you make for all in this game? I think it has to be better. It has to improve. I think we need to, we need to challenge. We need to play square. You know, if these are the rules which we try to explain that they put out an officials video and teaching the officials and they've sent it to us and the teams, which is great that if you're square or you're playing the football that you're going to be afforded a certain level of, you know, leeway. Just like the interception down there with Chris Moore. Guy was playing the football. There's a lot of contact and that's what it is. And so we know that and we have to play that same way. 0-2-7-3-4-0-1-2-12-5. They thought the end of the world. Well, it's a long season, Corey. And it was a great test of, I think, a good football team on the road in an unbelievable environment. Could have been a lot better. Could have been a lot worse. Our job is to win the game. We didn't. But our guys fight. They compete. And we need to keep improving. And we say this all the time. The teams that improve, are they going to be the ones that are playing in January? 49ers and, you know, talking with Brunskill after the game. He's like, hey coach, you know, and I love getting to know Daniel and his story. And just how he's gotten into this league. He's like, hey coach, 49ers, you know, they lost Week 1 in Chicago. And we were playing late in the year. And I said, I appreciate you reminding me of that, Daniel. Week 1 has a tendency to do that throughout the league where you get some surprising results every year that seemingly aren't indicative of what a team ends up being. So in your experience, why is it difficult? Because this is a unique league. This is a unique league. It's an eight and eight league. Nine and eight, eight and nine. However you want to put it now with 17 games. But that's what the structure is. The structure is designed for parity. And, you know, maybe there's teams that are at full strength or there's teams that maybe didn't quite prepare or somebody hit some plays that, you know, they didn't see in practice or teams continue to get better as the season goes on. Maybe they threw a different coverage at somebody. The ball security, right? And you talk about maybe there's some fumbles or, in our case, in interceptions, right? That lead, you know, block punt, right? The things that we talked about that would really hurt us that show up in Week 1. Because, you know, you're playing 70 snaps and it's just, it's different than training camp and preseason. Just beat underneath. I thought Shade could have come out and help him a little bit. But, you know, can't be up and under. Everybody that's been here that's in protection, whether it's an offensive lineman at running back or somebody on the punt team, you know, we have to block inside out. It was one of our special teams' keys. We knew that they would rush punts, whether it was JT Gray, who ultimately didn't play, whether it was Taysom Hill or Bond or Granderson, you know, that was something that they did. They did it on field goals. They did it on punts. And, you know, we didn't get it done. How's Groski holding up in his first game? Pretty good. You know, I thought pretty good. There was a couple of times where he could have been better in protection. But I would say that, you know, Peter is, you know, he's fit for this league. You know, he's just got, you know, good play strength and, you know, some good finishes where he was moving people and, you know, pass protection when he gets his hands inside on them and be able to sit down in the middle. They got us on a game there where, you know, we need to be better. But I think it's a good start. What were some of the things that were going wrong there? Penalties, you know, penalties, right? We didn't execute. It's just tough. We got behind the sticks and, you know, so we get the ball. Whenever we get it, we lose yardage. You know, we get down the other time and it's second and 20, right? Long yardage situations in a red zone are tough. There's just not a whole lot of space and every yard is critical. We've talked about that. So self-inflicted wounds and then, you know, give them credit as well. Beyond being behind the sticks. Third and eight, you know, I average a third and eight on third down. I'm going to be better on third down. Don't have him be so long. As you expected him to be when you signed him. Five for five. I wish that he was six for six. Tim, when the coin toss with the head or a table is called? You know what? I don't know if he typed on his little, I don't know if he typed on his tablet heads or tails for KB, but that was a unique moment for me to be able to see Tim and Steve there together before the game. And, you know, Steve talks with an interpreter. It is his aid that he moves his eyes and she knows what he's saying. And that was, that was cool for me to communicate with him through her. And then obviously, you know, Timmy in his tablet. So, you know, hopefully that brought some awareness to an unbelievable disease, but also to two great alumni of the National Football League. Would you say that the way things went with Henry in the fourth quarter, or just the second half, would you say that that's an outlier, like something that probably doesn't happen? Yeah, I mean, I don't think that, you know, those are something like we need, we're going to need Derek and we're going to need everybody and making sure that we get into a rhythm and that we figure out things that we can do consistently. And Derek will be a huge part of that. I can assure you. Appreciate it, guys. Well, I mean, with the start of the season, I mean, there's still a lot to clean up. The Saints, I mean, that's a big test to go into a stadium like that. I told a few people this, but I mean, that's probably one of the top five loudest places or toughest environments to be in. So we definitely have a lot to learn. We had a few fall starts early on in the game and you can accredit that to the noise. I mean, it's definitely tough, especially the wider out you get a couple of miscommunications on a couple things. So we got we got to continue to build on that and be able to take, I mean, you can't go back and change the outcome of the game, but what we can do is learn. And that's a great game, great environment to learn from. There's not a lot of places. I mean, Chiefs, Seattle, they get like much louder than that. So, I mean, to be able to have that and then build on that going forward, I think that's going to be huge. Frank said you were putting a point out to mention to him that the Niners lost the Chicago game opening day last year and it didn't have a bearing on your ultimate fate. And he said he appreciated the reminder of that. What were you guys thinking last year when you went through that one? I mean, it was it was almost kind of similar situation. We had a young team, a lot of new guys to the team. And, you know, they had we we had a lot to learn at that point in the game. And and so I mean, at the end of the day, like it's the NFL. I think any team can go out there and beat any team. It doesn't matter if you're favored by 20 points or not. Like it's, you know, it's it's the NFL. So there's every team is capable of beating anybody. They have the star talent and if they play the right and they don't make the mistakes, you know, they can go out and beat anybody. So I think at the end of the day, I think we made more mistakes in the Saints. Were they perfect? No. But at the same time, you know, that they were able to capitalize a couple of times on some things and we didn't capitalize on some of the things that, you know, could have won us the game. And I mean, for a one point game to be decided, you know, there any play could have changed that outcome. So I think at the end of the day, we have a lot to clean up. And if we can learn from those things, that's what's going to make the season great going forward. And that's I think any game in the NFL, you what you can learn from the game is is what we can take advantage of. But like the Chicago one, the Niners learned a lot and they were able to change their season go to the NFC championship when a lot of people wouldn't have thought they did that on a third quarterback, but they still were able to do that. So I mean, anything can happen. You can make things happen. What's your most about Peter Skorovsky? He kind of still gains his footing in the league. I mean, Peter's, I mean, it's not often where you get rookies just able to come in, learn like, you know, tough offense and be able to go against tough players and then just kind of keep picking up things. And I think Peter's doing a really good job of every time if he gets beat on something, he's learning from that and being able to correct things very fast. And then also, I think he's very poised for a young fellow. Usually young players, they're kind of, you know, they their emotions are controlling most of those things. So, you know, you get out in an environment like the Saints, you know, that's when they start panicking, making more mistakes. It's not really them making the mistake is just kind of their emotional. And so they're kind of just kind of getting a mistake from that. But I think I think Peter does a great job staying poised, staying level headed and be able to move on. And if someone was to beat him, he doesn't get really flustered from that. And so he's, you know, that's really, that makes a really good player piece. I mean, you're going to get beat from time to time and be able to, you know, take that move on and keep going and playing and keep improving. I think that's what he's done really well. You had a whole lot of chances in the running game, but what did you think of run blocking in general and kind of cohesion that a bunch of new guys had in that first game? I think, I know I had one block for sure that could have been cleaned up. I think there's a, there's a few things, but I mean, in the run game, we just got to keep pounding it. They did a really good job of taking away some of our outside zone games by putting out the 3D lineman and then they would spike the 3 technique to the side that we were running a little bit so that the linebacker can run free and then we couldn't get out to the linebackers. They were making it really hard for our double teams to get off to them. But I mean, they had some things teamed up and then we just got to be able to execute and then go onto the sideline, figure out what they're doing and find an adjustment to what they're doing. And that's, you know, the NFL. And I think we did an alright job and I thought the running backs did a hell of a job running it. Kaje got out on that one. You could see his, you know, explosiveness. That was awesome to see. Derrick was, I mean, he's always falling forward. I mean, you love a back like that. I mean, if it's blocked up for one, he's falling forward for three or something. So, I mean, he was doing an amazing job with that. And I think we just kind of keep pounding it and then just kind of clean up where we can because there's a few where we could have maybe broke Derrick free or just won away or back side end is, you know, coming like unblocked because he's the last guy that we can't block. And if we can find a way to create a little bit more space so he can just kind of get maybe a toe tackle to where he can break that and get out. I mean, we'd be on the safety really quick. So I think there's a few runs that are really close. And we just got to keep cleaning up what we can. How do you feel like the communication went and Niels first prolonged exposure together as a unit? The communication, I think it was alright. I think there was definitely some times. There was the delay game. Ryan's clapping. I got to do a better job of when I'm looking back. If nobody can hear that clap, I got to just start yelling at the guys. Hey, we got to go. We got to go. But we were in a double cadence kind of thing. And that kind of got us. I think we can do a better job of communicating which linebackers we're going to. So everybody's on the same page a few times. But I think for that environment and for a lot of new guys, I'm not going to say it was just bad just because, I mean, that's tough to go in that with all that. And I think a lot of guys were able to, you know, to get on the right page for the most part. But we still have to clean up because I mean, at the end of the day, we lost. And there were a few plays where if we can get on the right page, we can make a better play out of that. And that could have been the deciding factor. Like I said, one point game, any one play could have changed the game. When you have a back like Derek and some of those situations you mentioned, like it's not blocked up all the way. Somebody misses. It's a minus game. Then it's a zero game. Then it goes for 40. Does it require more patience for a back like that? But what do you mean by patient like? Mm hmm. Oh, I got you. Yeah. I mean, sometimes, I mean, with a guy like that, you want to do it, but also like, you don't want to take advantage of Derek all the time because like the end, we have a long season ahead. So we're not trying to just, you know, pound Derek, you know, until he can't. So I think at the end of the day, we just have to do a better job of cleaning up and trying to do our part of making sure that he's free. But yeah, I mean, just getting, I mean, you know, it's on the screen and a few other times like you get in the ball. He is a chance to take it all the way. And so we definitely have to be able to have the ability to be like, you know what, you know, they're doing a good job of stopping us and maybe we're making a few mistakes here too. But let's get this cleaned up and let's see if we can maybe get one of those to pop. So I mean, you don't want Derek run it 50 times. I mean, that'd be awesome. But at the same time, that's not fair to Derek, but at the same, like we just got to kind of keep going with it. So I mean, I guess you could say a little patience would be nice, but at the same time, it's just, you know, we got to go out there and execute and everybody's got to do their job. And I think if everybody else can do their job, we can, you know, take a little bit off of them and then we have them for later in the season when we're going to need them the most. But he only had five carries in the second half. I know you love to run black, I think. Just by the realignment, I said I love to run black. That's why you come and play for the Titans. Any disappointment that you weren't able to do it or it wasn't called to do it a little bit more in the second half yesterday? I mean, I'm not going to say there's disappointment at the end of the day. A lot of those plays, there were some plays where we still had like opportunities, even without Derek. I mean, we'd love to have him out there and continue. But I mean, you guys could all see Taje, Taje was explosive. Taje was picking up. There was a one where they had an end stunt and Cam Jordan, we were watching it today. Cam Jordan came around and that's not Taje's block, but he came in there and helped. You know, I mean, those games are hard to pick up and instead of the center coming off late and where Cam could maybe be a factor, Taje just stoned them. So I mean, I don't know if it's really like, you know, we're keeping Derek off the field or anything. It's just like, I mean, Taje's done an amazing job stepping up. So he's been able to get that opportunity to get some plays out there. So I think that might play into it. But I mean, at the end of the day, that's not my job of who's out there and who's not. Just got a block for what's out there. But I mean, I think we've got some phenomenal guys. And I mean, Jules, he made the team. He is what he did in the preseason. I mean, we watched him ball out preseason. So we got three guys that can really, we give those guys an opportunity. They can make some plays. So I think they were just kind of probably just, you know, trying to keep those guys fresh throughout the game and trying to keep getting them in and making sure every time they're in there fresh and we're not, you know, wearing one of them down. And that probably was what played into it. But I mean, I think all three of those guys earned the right to be out there. So I think we just got to keep going. And like I said, it was a one point game. So I don't know if that was the deciding factor or anything. I think there was plenty of opportunities to make some big plays. And we just happened to miss our opportunities and they capitalized on one of their opportunities and they were able to get a touchdown and win the game. And I think that's what it came down to. So we just got to do better as a whole unit to just make that one play to make the difference. The things you said to the tour's aside that you guys are trying to run to? The three tech, yeah. Yeah. Did they have a little bit of an indication at times where they thought that you guys were going to run? Is that? I mean, I don't know. I don't know what, I mean, every once in a while you got teams that are able to have some tells or something. But yeah, they had a few times where they just kind of made it hard getting into the backers. Late in the game, they had a perfect end spike on the outside zone of the right. And then they were able to have their DB come down and fill. So I mean, I don't know if they had a tell or they could have got just lucky sometimes, you know, defense line. Like maybe they weren't even told to do that. They just do something sometimes. And I don't know whether it was called by them and they had to tell or if they, you know, happened to fall into it. But they just happened to make the right plays when they needed to. And we didn't. So we just got to, you know, get better and capitalize on it. What do you mean? Grains itself on pass protection and things like that. Are you as critical of yourself if the quarterback is flushed or hit as you are if he's sacked? I mean, for me, I mean, I'm critical of our feeder on it. Like even if he doesn't get hit, like if we're on top of the quarterback and he can't make a throw, I mean, that should be critical because we're affecting the throw if he can't step into it. So I think anytime we're to, you know, anywhere super close around him where it affects the throw and, you know, maybe he throws it high or he can't step into it or now he's got to, I think all those, you know, take into it. So I think I'm critical on any of those. We don't want, I mean, you definitely don't want him getting hit and you don't want him getting sacked and all that. I mean, I don't even want him to get, you know, affected by the throw. I don't want a throw to be high and, you know, somewhere else to where, you know, he wasn't able to get it on target and that, you know, costs us a big play. So I think we just have to keep getting better, you know, learning out where he's setting up in the pocket on certain plays because every play like that changes a lot of things. If he's setting up at five yards, that's a big difference for the offensive line because now, you know, you can run them at seven, seven, eight yards. You can run those big D-ends around and we need to be really firm up front. If he's setting up at, you know, nine yards, we need to know that, you know, because those tackles, you know, now you got to get a big hoop to run. So I mean, there's a lot that goes into it. Being able to tell what plays what so we can, you know, figure out where we need to set up so that way where he's sitting, we can, you know, stay off of his toes and make sure he has plenty of room to step up, make a throw or, you know, do whatever he has to do with the ball. Appreciate it. Appreciate it. Thank you guys. Oh, yeah, I think it's definitely encouraging. It's stuff to build off of. But, you know, I think we can't give up the explosive plays because I think you look at a lot of the drives. Those are the things that were hurting us. Just giving up the chunk plays. And obviously, the last driver to game, you know, put an opportunity to, you know, get that 34 or whatever it was, 35 to stop him and didn't get it done. So it was definitely tough. To him said, I was a 49ers, lost the season opener, went to the NFC championship game. You're obviously on that team. What's your perspective of that? Oh, yeah, to be truthful, that's all I could think about when the game ended. I literally was thinking the exact same way because it reminded me a lot of that. Just played some good defense that year, last year, but didn't play enough to win the game. And I think we lost by a point or two points if I'm not mistaken. And it was definitely a huge, like, you know, hit. But we realized, like, man, we could take it as far as we want to take it and, you know, just bounce it back. So I truly, you know, that's what I expect from this team. You know, a lot of the same similar building blocks and character of the guys and, you know, the people on this team. So I'm expecting to do the exact same thing. Let down when you guys have a lot of excitement and so many new faces felt like there was a buzz about seeing this team debut, like, moving into next week. I think the beautiful thing about the National Football League is for every team that won and every team that lost, you got about, what, it's 12 o'clock or whatever, you got about two more hours. And you better get moving fast. If you don't, then you won the game, you're probably going to lose. And if you lost the game, you're probably going to lose again. So you got to figure out a way to build off of it, learn from it, whatever it is, celebrate the win for 24 hours, soak in your misery for 24 hours, but then get back to work like it's a National Football League, you know, so that's the best of the best and every week you got to bring your best. So I mean, now it's literally like my mind said, we watched the film as a group, probably going to hear from Ravel, you know, on Wednesday when we have our meeting about it, maybe at the beginning and like all the way to the Chargers. So I think it was good for the situation. Obviously the stadium, but I think it was pretty good. You know, obviously just try to make sure we act on communicating the calls and everything across, you know, the front, but also with the back end guys. And I think it was pretty good communication. What does the body feel like after playing in a game for the full game for the first time in, what, eight, nine months? And what do you do maybe on Mondays to kind of get it back? I think my body's sore. Like you definitely get sore. I think my pride is a little bit more sore than my body. You know, obviously after you lose a game like that, but honestly just try to get in the cold tubs, get in the hot tub, get massages, you know, work out. I like to lift, you know, and we all pretty much get a lift in on Monday trying to work that soreness out. But yeah, you definitely got to be ready to go on Wednesday. So take advantage of those two days that you get. Talk to y'all on defense about the sack fumble rule, that sort of thing. Just what do you remember about what he said? Just have you guys as defense respond to that rule when it seems like it's kind of inconsistently called? He just always tells us to scoop the ball regardless and let them make the decision. And I think that's exactly what KB did. And you know, they decided what they decided. And I don't lie to you, I don't get paid to do that. I get paid to do something completely different. So now I let them do their job and I'll do mine, but you know, you can't ever really, I guess count on a ref to do anything for you. But you know, it is what it is. Obviously that sucks because that could have been a huge play for us. But KB did exactly what we always coach, you know, just finish to the recovery of the ball. And you know, that's what he did. And it makes it a harder, you know, situation where if that was a fumble, then it would be a clear recovery. We get the ball and, you know, it is what it is. But they asked kind of like what we were always coached to do. You find the application that inconsistent when you're watching games? No, I think like maybe the motions of the throws and what they consider as a throw versus a fumble might be inconsistent. But if you recover the ball both times, you know, that's pretty much what we're coached is just always recover the ball if you have an opportunity and let them figure it out because we don't know. It's too, you know, split second decisions. You have no clue what's actually going on that fast. So just recover the ball and let them figure it out. I guess when you came out of the car, I guess you got up close to his helmet area. What can you maybe learn from that as far as the technique standpoint and maybe kind of lose track of your hands there? Yeah, honestly, when I was running down there, I'm already thinking like, oh, I'm not going to hit him because I don't want to get flagged. So that's what made me, you know, try to raise my arm to match his hand when he was about to throw the ball. But then like it was like this weird space, you know, where I would probably tell myself is I play football for a long time, you know, maybe not thinking so much. If anything I learned from that is I'm not going to think about it. He's running outside the pocket. You can hit him obviously below the head of neck area. So next time I'm just going to hit him. As you guys practice situations so much around here, how do you feel like the defense responded to some of those selling change positions you were put in yesterday? I think he did a good job. Obviously, like I said, the last drive is, you know, the only thing that sucked, you know, we couldn't get the ball back. But obviously, I have no control and none of us on defense, you know, we're not responsible for anything that happens on the other side of the ball. You know, we're supposed to do our job and like I always just challenge the guys like don't let their defense outplay our defense, you know, whoever we're playing that week and that kind of keeps it out of a point finger mentality to where it's more so like, hey, look at what their defense just did. We got to go get that same thing because when they needed to stop, they got it, you know, but when we needed one at the end, we couldn't get it. So I think when you look at it from that perspective, it allows you to, you know, look at yourself and not so much look at, you know, what anybody else is doing. But I think he did a good job with some of the sudden change stuff, just responding and holding them to field goals. But yeah. Any surprise to you what Arden was able to do here? No, you know, I played with Arden in San Francisco back in 2021 and obviously he's still good friends and kept up with him. He had a good year last year with the Jaguar. So just knowing that he was going to have an opportunity to, you know, get a bigger role and have more opportunities rushing to pass on third down, you know, that's a part of his game and he's really good at. So it didn't surprise me at all.
