 Just before we get started, I just wanted to give my condolences to the family of Claude Humphrey. Obviously Claude was a great player in this league and a great person and another guy that was from Memphis that ended up coming here to Atlanta. So I just wanted some of my condolences to his family. With that, I'll open it up. And then does the fumble happen? How do you play them with that when you have the opportunity to take the lead here? Well, I wouldn't call it deflating. I mean, those are mistakes that you don't want to obviously make there, D-Led. But our mindset is, I mean, if you're going to say things that deflate you or concern you in the middle of the game, it's a battle. We've got to be cleaner with the football. There's no doubt about that. That's obvious. But deflate, that's not a word we use. So we're going to keep fighting and swinging. You can rephrase it however you want. I mean, they made a play. We've got to continue to work on that. We'll be cleaner. So we call it damaging. We call it deflating. We don't use those words. D-Led, we continue to swing and fight. We'll fight till the finish. Arthur, take me through, I guess, the foul process of the play calling. What part of it? Just, I guess, A, why not try to run the ball? We did. We had a fumble snap. So we want to chime in to our headset. I'll show you the call sheet. So I guess, were there things that you saw, maybe you could go play action? Yeah, I mean, you're asking a pretty, you have a question here. So the thought process was you're trying to call plays to score touchdowns. I mean, that's pretty obvious, Michael. I mean, that's kind of pretty obvious. Again, what are you asking? Are you asking the type of plays called? Yeah, I wouldn't have called it if I didn't. I mean, you're asking kind of the no-brainer. You don't call plays to think, hey, let's hope this works. We don't think it's going to work. Like, that's just, if you're asking if we had called or run, yes, we did. Then we had a snap issue. What kind of issues? We didn't do what? One offense of John and four. So I really want to phrase it. Look, we've continued to improve, Michael. So again, I understand what you're trying to ask to create a narrative. If you look at the last two games, you know, we've been pretty good running the football. Had a chance here. That's a good football team. We made too many, you know, we turned the ball over. He makes some mistakes. It's hard to beat a good football team like that. So if you want to score stats in certain spots to fit a narrative, great. All I know is this team's improved. You look at last week, you look at this week. I don't have the number in front of me, but I know we had over 150 yards rushing. So, however your mind works. Your second half like ours. Your second half like ours. Oh, still, the game was, you know, was never really what you got to get into hurry up at the end. 10 point game for, you know, as you get into it, similar in the four quarter, it's not going to alter your game plan. 11 quarterback hits and five sacks and y'all had one quarterback hit. Right. How did that, I guess those two stats shape this game? Yeah, certainly the sacks are going to hurt you. And when you read a stat like that, they did a nice job protecting, they kept Brady clean. Obviously it's everybody's intention to get out for the quarterback. They did a nice job. They got to go players up front. Certainly we'll look at it and see what, you know, what could we tweak here. But yeah, that's usually a pretty good tell how it went. Any way to defend Brady if you don't get pressure on him? Sure. I mean, make the ball catch the ones he throws you. And we, Marlon caught one, you know, he threw Deon another one, we didn't catch it. So he's a great player, but certainly if he gives you opportunities, we got to make a play on the ball. But there's other ways to defend him. I mean, but he is a great player. What's that? How close were you to going forward on the set? If it had been, if it had been a fourth, probably eight or less, that's when you would have considered it. Fourth and 12, where the ball is at midfield, you know, the way they're rushing, you know, the odds are stacked against you there. And you're basically going to hand in the ball with one first down away pretty much for field goal. So we punted it down there. We had confidence and to their credit, they made plays and they converted. And that, you know, that's how the game ended. We'll reassess everything every Monday, you know, to watch the film. The surface level snaps. We got to clean that up surface level. So that's kind of what, but we got to look at the film. Vida Vida has a good nose. They got good guys in front. But you're still in the mix. Is there anything you do as a head coach to sort of convey to your players about where you're still in it? Sure. Yeah, that's a good question, Jeff. Because, again, you know how it is, you've covered sports a long time. So you're sitting there looking at everyone to shape it up in your mindset. The truth is, we're still in the mix. We got five games ago. It's a lot of football left. And like I said, we'll get back to work. We've seen a lot of improvement the last two weeks. And we're excited about the challenge to go on the road again and play a divisional opponent. So we got to be ready to go because the opportunity is still there, Jeff. And that's a great point. And they know that. We know it. And that'll be our charge. Yeah, I mean, that's kind of who they are. I mean, I believe going to this game, they're 31st in the league and rush attempts. I mean, they got good players up front. And when they got the talent level, they got outside and you got Brady a quarterback and they protect pretty well for most of the year. I mean, there's, so, I mean, they throw it. I mean, that's always kind of been Bruce Aaron's demo. They got a decent run game and they had to run it when they need to. But that wasn't a surprise. I mean, if you look at the numbers going into this thing, you know, we constantly look at everything. You know, we didn't win the ones that I felt we should, you know, we should have, I mean, there's a reason why, you know, some of it's match-up based. We got to play better certainly at home. So there's a lot of factors to it. Thank you. That was tough. Obviously, you know, had an opportunity there on the goal line and to not come away with seven points is one of those things we got to do a better job of, you know, as we move forward, when you're playing against a good football team, you know, really good defense, really good offense and offense that can score, you know, you have to come away with touchdowns. So that part was disappointing for sure, but we kept battling and gave ourselves more chances, which is what you have to do. You can't blink, you know, but if we're looking for areas of improvement, that's definitely one of them. I do think I thought we ran the ball well. First drive of the game was really good. And we continued to hammer away at it. And, you know, I thought offensive line running backs did a nice job with that. And it helps, you know, it opens other things up and helps in that area. So I do think we made strides, you know, we're getting better. Now we've got other things that we've got to clean up along the way, but that was productive for us. Or do you share that confidence? I think you have to, you know, I think we're in a spot, you know, obviously disappointed with the outcome of today's game of this really good football team. And I think, you know, I really think there were chances for us to kind of change the outcome of that game. We've got to be opportunistic as we move forward. But we have everything we want right in front of us. And ultimately, you know, this time of the year, that's really all you can ask for. Now it's about, you know, figuring out how to play, you know, our best football in the next five weeks. And I don't think you can get too far down the road. I think you really just have to focus on this next week and find a way to get a good divisional win on the road. Yeah, I think that's, you know, you always want to have self-belief. And at the same time, you've got to strive for daily improvement. That's one of the things Art talked about in the first meeting that we have. And so we've got to get back to work. We've got to seek that growth this week and really work on that during practice. And at the same time, you know, know that there are plays that are being made. There are things that we are doing well. And we've got to build on those. You know, we have to make more of those types of plays, you know, throughout the game. And I think we're capable of doing that. We had spurts, you know. But the consistency, you know, wasn't there. I think we were very consistent. The first couple of drives of the game take away, you know, what we did, not scoring a touchdown, you know, on the goal line. But I think there was better consistency there early. And we just got to find ways to keep drives going and then finish drives, you know, when we get our chances, when we have our chances, we can't give them anything. And, you know, I think there were a few plays today, but there were opportunities that we all have to find a way to make those plays when we get those chances. Well, I thought our defense did a nice job after that of getting another stop and giving us, you know, an opportunity to still go down there and take the lead. You know, it's hard. Physical mistakes happen. And that's part of sport. You know, those kind of things happen at different times. Are they in our platoon for sure? And I thought Russ bounced back and did some really good things for us coming in late and made some plays and toughed it out there at the end. And I appreciate it and for that. And so there are things we've got to clean up for sure. And we've got to, you know, we really, when we have our explosives and we make our plays, we've got to capitalize on those drives. I think if we're going to be successful moving forward, you know, those are the things we have to do. I'm sorry. What happened at the bottom of the box? That's just, you know, an execution thing we both have to be better at. And, you know, across the board, there's just no excuse for it. And so we both got to do a better job of that. Did you check out of anything there? Or is that what Arthur called? No, those are the calls. And so, you know, again, we got to find a way to make those plays, you know, got to find a way for something to come open. But really, I mean, it's, you know, first and second down, you still have opportunities on your second and third down. I mean, we had a penalty there as well. So we really have four chances. And we got to find a way to make a play. And even, you know, with it not being ideal, we still had a chance on third down and, you know, regardless of whether it's first down, second down, or third down, we got to find a way to punch it in. I don't know. I think, you know, we've done some good things, you know, for sure. But we've got to get back to work. We've got to find the answer to that so that, you know, in our stretch of the last five games of the year, of the regular season, we've got to find a way to be better. And if we had the answer, we'd change it, you know, immediately, but we've got to find a way to do it. How does your confidence square with what the production has been offensively during last year? There's been good. You know, I really think, you know, I always view confidence probably differently than you guys. I think that, you know, it comes down to how you work during the week, you know, how well-prepared you are going into a game, what's your practice week look like, what's your film study look like, what's your preparation with the plan. In professional sports, it's tough because, you know, if you're only deriving confidence from results, it's not always going to go your way. And does our production need to be better? Absolutely. But the belief, you know, has to remain the same that, you know, as we get ourselves prepared during the week, we're going to make those plays as we move forward when we have our chances. Yeah, I think, you know, we're going against a good defense and a good, you know, front seven. And we knew going into it, sometimes there's going to be tough sledding. And it's important that you try and protect the ball as best you can, stay on schedule to eliminate some of those opportunities, but I thought our guys battled up front. You know, I really did. I thought they played hard. How tired are you of congratulating Tom Brady after football game? What do you think is going to put that screw at the end? We'd like to win. Yeah, we'd like to win. That's for sure. You know, but, you know, we've got to find a way, you know, in division to win football games, whether it be against Tom, whether it be, you know, Carolina Panthers coming up this week, we've got to find a way to get the job done in division. And those games are always critical, you know, because they count basically one and a half as you're going. So, you know, I'd certainly like to beat him. There's no doubt about that, you know, but I just think, you know, we've got to focus on what's in front of us and then we'll figure out, you know, that whole deal the next time we play them. I'm just curious, just obviously, as far as your first year as a head coach, you got some U.S. football today. How has he handled these things? Has this messaging been consistent? Has there been a quarterback that you know already knows where he's kind of had to change his tune a little bit? I think his messaging has been consistent, you know, from the start of what he expects from us. You know, I think the guys have bought in and done a great job of trying to do what they're asking us to do. We all need to play better. We all need to find ways to win more games than we have up until this point. You know, but as far as from a leadership standpoint and, you know, being consistent with the guys and keeping the messaging the same and every day, you know, trying to get better and trying to get the best out of guys, he's been very good at that. Well, I think it's all year. I mean, it's about kind of not riding that roller coaster of, you know, being consistent, not getting too high, you know, and some of the wins that we've had. We've had some really good comeback wins, some stuff that, you know, you should, you know, be proud of for sure. And I think he's done a great job of kind of navigating that roller coaster that can be, you know, the NFL season of staying consistent, you know, focusing on what's next, getting back in, making corrections, you know, whether we win or lose, you know, being objective and being honest, you know, on Mondays and then coming in with a great energy on Wednesdays of what the plan is for us moving forward. I think he's done a great job of that. Pretty consistent. I'm just curious as to how do you find, it seems like you can end up with 13 touches, how do you find a balance between, okay, I want to get this guy a certain amount of carries versus saying, okay, this guy's hot, we need to ride this hot, right as I am? Yeah, I think, you know, that's, that's for the staff. I mean, I think they work really hard on trying to get guys going, get guys involved, I think early on, you know, an explosive run for us that set up the touchdown on basically the next play. I think it was Mike who came in for the next run. And so, you know, we got complete trust in both those guys to go out there and execute where they're, you know, asking them to do. But I think, you know, it falls on the coaches to find a, you know, balance of keeping guys fresh, you know, which is what you want for the fourth quarter, keeping their juice flowing and making sure, you know, that they're not overworked. But I think they've struck a good balance of that because CP's production has been great. You know, you start off with some solid production in the first half and it seemed like we had, like, two targets in the second half. Like, is that just a matter of just the flow of the game or do you think that Cal may be doing something that, may or may not be doing something that, you know, be able to get him to football? No, I think Cal's doing a great job. I think it's just how the game shakes out sometimes and the coverages that are called, you know, they see that too. And they make adjustments to try and take away some of what he's doing. I think, you know, he's got to stay the course. Kyle's done a great job in his rookie season of hammering away weekend and week out trying to get better. And I thought his route running was really good today. And it's just, I tell our guys all the time, you know, the ball's going to find you at different times, but the coverage is going to dictate where we go and when it's your time, you know, and your numbers call, you've got to make that play and he's done a good job of that this year. All right, thank you.
