 I know it's probably not the question exactly you want to lead off here but do you anticipate who Leo is going to be at minicamp next week or have you had conversations with him about that? Yeah, I kind of want to win last week. We have conversations all the time with all our players. There's good communication going back and forth through multiple avenues. So we'll see what happens next week and where we're at. So I can answer that for you next week. And for you, what are you hoping to get out of today? The same thing we try to get out of everything right here. We're just trying to improve. We're trying to get our schemes down. Really mentally trying to tax our guys and just getting us ready to go. The whole objective is to be ready to go for training camp and ready for the open. Tori, Michael, Haney. Just going off of that. When it comes to the install process and when it comes to teaching this guy's your scheme, what's the base and foundation of what you start with? Well, obviously the way that things were set up this year, which helped come from last year, is you start virtually. We're trying to find new ways to teach virtually, which we started out with. And then now we've got them here. You get them in person. There's different ways as we try to build them, build the foundation from the ground up. And so you've got to assume that nobody knows anything because I think it's a it's a poor decision to make to assume guys are different spots. I don't care if they're 10 years better or rookie. So we start everything from the ground up and that's what we've been building day after day. And that's what you'll see the rest of these OTAs. I know when we talked to Matt a couple weeks ago, he was talking about the really trying to get the terminology down. He was like, you know, I've played in my similar systems, but you know, just understanding the language of what this coaching staff wants. When it comes to that, what's the best way that you realize that like that you can teach that and help guys come along quicker in that regard? Yeah. I think you have an understanding that everybody learns differently. Tori, certainly I learned different from Matt and that's no knock on either one of us. The good thing about Matt is he's been in multiple systems. I've been in similar systems with you know, and I think the easy thing to do is to come in there and try to talk over everybody. Like I could do that to try to sound really smart and use a bunch of buzzwords. I just, the best teachers are very practical and it's nice to have a reference point with Matt and certain things that he may have done in his past that I may have done and then what we're doing now. So it is that you're everybody's trying to learn a new language and you're trying to be practical about it and teaching them what to do. Deal with it? Yeah, coach. Just what's your overview on how, where you're at in OTAs and how things have been coming as you're trying to pull the team together here? Yeah, we're very happy. I think, you know, obviously the guys that have been here that have been very engaged, you know, we're obviously adapting to our situation, which is smart. I think you want to look at this year after year. If we weren't coming out of a pandemic and everything else that's going on, I think, you know, whether it's year one, we'll evaluate obviously next year what we're doing. But we're really happy. Like I said, we're trying to learn the scheme. So when we hit the ground running, we're actually practicing for real in late July. And coach, I know it's voluntary, but what's Dante Fowler's status? Will you be sitting in him before the mini camp? And what's his update on him, I guess? Yeah, we've got good communication with Dante and I think it's healthy. Like, you know, you got to say what you mean and mean what you say. And so this is voluntary and that's what it is. There's no mixed messages. I think that's silly when, you know, tell what it is. And we've got guys, there's, you know, life happens. There's a lot of things going on. We've got guys in and out here certain days. These guys have family, the family issues come up. They should take care of that stuff. Some guys are moving. You know, we've got great communication with Dante. Similar to what we're talking about, the question asked about who we are. We have the men in tour mini camp next week. So hopefully, you know, depending where we're at next week, we say everybody. Scott Bear, AF.com. Coach, I was just curious when it comes to, when it comes to your new first round draft pick, is there anything that you've learned about him that maybe you didn't know during the pre-draft process? Anything that you've learned about how he works now that you're able to get him in the building and on the practice field? Sure. You know, we obviously did a lot of work on Kyle before we brought him in here. You know, we're putting a lot on his plate and seeing where he's at, you know, and we're trying to bring him along the right way. So I don't think that there's, you know, there's obviously when you get taken an eye, there's a lot of expectations, but Kyle's got to focus on day to day and learning it, getting up to speed. So he's ready to roll when the season starts. But like I said, we value that tight end position and there's a lot of roles that those guys can play. Is that fine? Hey, Coach. Good seeing you. You said the expectation right now is that they know nothing. When do you expect them to know everything? Not so much when you're teaching from the ground up, Jack. You know what I'm saying? If you were going in there and you were going to teach a history class, I would assume that certain people know more about or two than others. I mean, you're trying to teach from the ground up and not do it in a patronizing way. I think making good progress every day, and that's really the point I was trying to make. I wasn't taking a shot saying they don't know anything and I know everything. No, that's not at all. So I don't want that message out there. No, it's just it's bad when you go in a room and you just assume they already know what you're talking about. You're literally teaching from the ground up. Sure. All formations, protections, everything. Yeah, I guess maybe we rephrase that. What are your expectations when as when the teaching process comes full that you expect your guys to grasp everything that you've implemented since the beginning? Guys on different timetables. I mean, I bet there's a lot of that stuff placed out, but you want to go on the camp where they're not hearing things for the first time. So then, you know, you're obviously going to work your fundamentals and your technique and you want guys to have to stop thinking when they break the huddle, you know, offense, defense, or special teams, the memorization part is over. So then you're learning on how to win the rep and the technique, it all plays into it. So when you do it over and over again, you know, you stop worrying about the things, you know, you know where to get lined up. Now let's go execute. And in your experience, I'm sure you've had individuals who've had their fifth year option declined and you can either pout about it or come out and ball out that next year and prove quote unquote everybody wrong. What are your expectations for Hayden? How has he handled things? And do you expect him to ball out this year to kind of prove his value yet again? Yeah, you know, I don't use the ball out terms that no offense there. But Hayden's done a nice job day to day. And Hayden is a really valuable member of this football team. And we have high expectations for Hayden. He knows that there's been direct communication, but very pleased with Hayden's maturity and what he's brought day in and day out of here so far. Thank you. Thank you, Artie. Go to Mark Bradley. I'm good. Thanks. Kelly Price. Hear me because I'm in my car here. I'm just wondering, is it kind of frustrating knowing that there's so many questions about right now and you want to answer questions about the guys, you know, that are there and, you know, you're trying to install your new culture and everything. Is it frustrating to have to keep kind of like addressing that? No, part of the job. Anything else, Kelly? Nope. That's it from me. Thanks. All right. Paul Newberry. Coach, curious in your first, you know, head coaching job, has anything in these first few months? I know it's very early, obviously, but has anything surprised you or caught a little bit getting into this role? I wouldn't say it surprised me, but, you know, obviously, when you're going through something the first time, there's things that pop up that you try to anticipate and, you know, you learn to get a deal with them and manage your time effectively, so you don't get sucked into a five-minute conversation that comes 45 minutes, so you can get a lot of confidence day in and day out. That probably the biggest transition so far. Is it, has it been, how's it been to go from where you're, you know, concerned with a specific part of the team? I've heard head coaches when they first get into that job saying, you know, learning the delegates, maybe the hardest thing for them to do to know they can't do everything, and the, you know, hands-on they used to have in certain areas they can't have anymore. Has that been tough for you? No. We feel very, obviously, really happy with the staff we hired, and that's the biggest part of the job. We're going through that hiring. You've got to hire good people and let them do their job and, you know, set the expectations, what we want, and we've got a really good staff here. Tanees, you're Batis. Morning, coach. Small sample size, but for the rookie class, who has impressed you so far in terms of maybe what they've learned, some of what they've learned in the building, and maybe you're starting to see them already translate that to the field to practice. Yeah, just because of the way we've got it set up, it's hard to answer that. It's been a really good rookie class. It's a mature rookie class. Some of the stuff that you may have to deal with in certain years, we haven't had to, you know, knock on wood so far. They've done a good job, and then, like I said, we're trying to build this, and everybody around the league is doing different things, and that's great, but we're trying to be creative in what makes sense for the Atlanta Falcons, and this rookie class has done a good job so far, doing everything we've asked them to do, and they're engaged, and they're trying to improve that. Thanks, Coach. Thank you. Thanks for a few follow-ups. Michael Rothstein, do you have anything? Yeah, I do. I just want to hit on one thing. How have you managed to kind of keep yourself on schedule? Like, is that, are you relying a lot on Sarah, or are you just kind of like, hey, next time I have to be out of here, how do you manage that personally? Yeah, you want to make time for everybody on your staff and players and things that come up. Obviously, Terry and I talk multiple times a day, and it is about managing time. Sarah has a big role here, and so does Griffin, Ryan Griffin. So, like I said, we've got an excellent staff. Everybody has a job to do, and they do it well, and so, yeah, you rely on everybody. I mean, she does a good job keeping me on schedule. Appreciate it. Tori McLean. Yeah, just one for me. We were talking to Jake Matthews last week, and he made the comment that he was really proud of Matt Hennessy's development as a communicator, and I know it's only a short window of what you've been able to see him, but what's what's your just your general evaluation of Matt Hennessy's communication skills at that center position? Yeah, Matt's done a good job. He's, that's an important role for us in particular that center spot, and there's good competition there. Matt, I mean, again, we won't, as it goes into getting into camp, we got a couple guys that we feel can pull the ball well, but Matt, that's a big role, and it's a, there's a big shoes to fill. He knows that Alex Mack was a heck of a player here, and he's had a great career in the NFL. So, everything we've asked Matt to do so far is he's done and done well. Dylan? Yeah, Coach, just wanted to know how Marlon Davidson was doing and how Deon is doing, you know, as in his role, Deon Jones is, you know, one of the leaders on defense side of the ball. Yeah, you know, again, with Marlon, he's done a good job. He's been working hard this whole offseason, you know, getting healthy and really happy how Marlon's progressed. So again, everybody will have the same opportunity to continue to explain to these guys the best player for play and everybody doesn't matter where you're drafted, where you come from, the best players are going to play. And then Deon, it's been good having Deon around here. Again, it can only go from my experience with Deon, but we've got a lot of guys, leaders on this team. And like I said, leadership comes in all shapes and sizes and guys that beat themselves. And some guys lead by example. Some guys are, you know, they're more verbal, but very pleased with Deon's done so far since he's been here. Scott, Mayor? Coach, going back to Kyle, is he a fun, versatile talent to be able to create and design plays for just given that you can use him in so many different ways that you can go up to that chalkboard and find new and innovative ways to add him into your schemes and packages? We think we've got a lot of guys that can play multiple roles for us. And that's what's going to be the fun part about when we get in the camp and when, you know, everybody's here, we're actually, you know, practicing and getting ready for these preseason games. And but we feel on a really, in all three phases, we've got a lot of players. I know we were joking about the versatility post draft, but there's a lot of guys. And, you know, I don't want to discredit anybody else that can play multiple roles for us. You know, we don't let that spot between it, you know, Hayden, he can play multiple roles for us. You know, Lee Smith, he'll have multiple roles, Keith Smith. So again, those guys, when you get into those base personnel groups, they can do a lot of different, different jobs for us. Are you in time for one more? Is that con? Yeah, I mentioned leaders on Stephen means he's been so valuable in the community coach, you're Walter Payton nominee a year ago. You got to spend some time with him and just talk about life away from football with Stephen. Yeah, again, we're trying to organically develop relationships with all those guys, you know, going back to the question earlier that that is not a challenge, but that's a fun part. You know, it's when you go from being a position coach, obviously, you know, you guys really well offensively, especially when you're spot for a long time, you know those guys well. And now you're trying to naturally develop relationships with every member of this team. Stephen's a great guy to get to know. And he's a mature guy. He's authentic. So very happy to far getting, you know, develop a relationship with Stephen.
