 I was just going over some things with I apologize Meetings rent one Was that any actual reason why you're late? Yeah, no, we were we were handling a couple things here You know we we signed Luther Kirk to our practice squad At least Elliott Fry released TJ Green and so we were going through and Meetings and then that obviously that's why I'm late What went behind the decision to release to get Well, there's a lot of things a lot of some things I'll keep in-house and we're very appreciative of the work TJ did there's some other guys and it's a very fluid situation as you guys have seen so we've been here and We've you know Moved a lot of guys in and out that's helped us on practice squad and We feel pretty good about the health of where we're going hopefully we get every Williams back we should it's turning in the right direction and Feel good about everybody else as far as Chris Williamson goes because he's now out of practice squad Elevations do you now bring him up? Oh? You know what we know as a week goes on Like I said, and we feel pretty good about where we're at health of our team right now, and so we feel like we'll have options at the end of the week I See You know we can't you can't come off the IR any earlier in three weeks like you just said so we'll see where he's at when we Get to that mark Well look it's NFL so different than Kale McGarry and that's life in the NFL, you know Nothing's more important than the health and safety of our players in this team And but that's why you have a team and and like I said, we have a lot of guys There's a lot of ways to get production Jason Sprig stepped up. We threw a lot of different guys at him outside I'd a played well means Cope those guys and there's a lot of ways to do it, you know So that's what it is. It's like an NFL and I don't sit there and say Hey, he's exactly going to be back here because it's always different, but obviously we already assessed I mean Dante played that whole game in London and We feel like this is best thing for him and then for the team. So we'll see where we're at after neurons So you asked about the TJ Green move and I really appreciate TJ there, but We'll see as we go on so I wouldn't use the word banged up everybody right now in the national football league It's a little nicked up. It's a it's a tough sport. We assess it. And like I said, we take every Caution necessary and we take it very serious, but we feel pretty good about what we're at health wise You take it all into account, right, and that's why you had the meetings That's why you know when you guys And I and I apologize for being a little bit late some of the meetings ran long. So At all things taken to account. Yeah, that's that's exactly what you're asking me. I just use different terminology there vocabulary, so Yeah, we feel pretty good about where we're at Look he helped us when I game and he came up and helped us win that game in New York And you never know it's never I said he's played a lot snaps and I'm very appreciative of he could be back He'd be back tomorrow. He'd be back in the future. I will we'll see Sure, you get in those situations and at some point you got to assess it and that's every game so We have the analytics and then you got ultimately I got to make the decision So if you it's so as a law of unintended consequences, I know what the numbers say we obviously in Washington game You saw a different thing at the end of the game. That was however the mask gonna be you know there Went for it didn't get it and we kicked it and then we essentially made them go for two, right? so Harry's it out. It was probably gonna be a two-point game either way and At the end right and that's a you know law of unintended consequences So you got to make a decision. So if you if you go for it go for two you don't get it Now they go up they got a decision made to go for two and it could be a three-point game. So You know we again or you get it obviously I reckon do the the simple math when it's 21 to 14 or 28 to 14 So There's a there's a great subjective argument when you want to start doing that and Jason points I think you saw it a little bit last night They had a similar thing happen any and then there's no perfect answer and that's what makes it fun We have the information and we talk about communicate it and then ultimately I got to make the decision But I feel it's best for the team at the time and so That's what that's what we felt and You get it depends on your plan how you're playing what quarterback all that goes into effect and We're a situation we had enough time to go down there and set coup up to kick a field goal You know It all goes together to you let and like I said we've That's it's gonna come down to you know situational football and you know in the red zone You know we played well in spurts. It's an area. We'll continue to improve on and that's it's a lot of games in the NFL Defensively and then really we got to help them offensively. We you know, we were productive at times You know, they had the ball nine more minutes and we did credit to Miami But there were some drives like we had some really good drives And then we had some other drives are pretty quick and that can add up and you know The one thing about playing down there That you can really feel in that field that humidity is real and so they did credit to Miami They kept us on the field a lot and That's I said, it's a tough mounted team as they get some good players and yeah We need to you know, we need to get sauce we can also as it all goes down the team Like we can also help offensively before that so you don't get to those those situations Absolutely Yeah, and Hawk made it I mean look the thing about the hawk interception, too It was a really good job by Dion getting some depth there and hawk breaks on it And you've seen a lot of DB's take it out hawk was smart. He went right down And so instead of sitting there running it and getting tackled at the two or three and then and then you're getting and then In the half you're in there trying to get a quarterback sneak to get some green rooms You know take a safety it allowed us on the 20 to take a shot to go get and we did and then we got down there and we You know, you were able to get three points right in the half get the ball right back coming out That's a 10 point swing Those are it's a great play ball. Great play by him and as a really smart decision by him not to take the ball out Follow the Washington game So you talk about what I said about at the end of the Washington game Me and the jet you said John's right. Yeah. Yeah, so you don't know when I said after the Jets win I got you There's a yeah That's what you pay to do. You're paid to make decisions. They always say there's no there's no victim is this thing It's what you signed up for and I enjoy it. I feel fortunate is how to have this job So yeah, I mean, I think you every Monday like whether you win or lose. I Keep saying this you've got to be objective and there's some things I thought at the time, you know I know why I did it but you've got to be Critical of yourself and not in a way that makes you a martyr or you don't it's a fine line to sit there and say oh, you know This that you know, it's my fault my fault and then there's other way you see the other side Well, you want to blame everybody else in the building coaches and players and run that bus over seeing that too So I call it really sober-minded approach. So you look there look at it. What can I do better? If we get in the situation what would I do different? It just so happened that it came up again and the Jets came over in London And so it's just at the time that's pretty similar and then we just Called it different It's ultimately the players don't want to make it play and you gotta give it makes it makes it go and they did a nice job We've been kind of kicking Have some struggles around the league this year. You know you were part of 10c team that Had issues I think a few years ago having a guy like young way. What does that do to maybe end game strategy for you? Well, like with all your players like you build confidence and We got a lot of confidence a young way That's not it. I said this all the time. That's not an easy position to break into this league. Most of those times those guys get cut There's a little cottage industry of guys in the West Coast There's an old team in mind and Charlotte's got his own kicking thing Dan or you know, and you just see it, you know, and it's a tough and you got to be tough monitor Those are specialty jobs, but you see a career path a lot of these guys that they bounce around and Then with some fortunately young ways here and he's the guy that's improved and we got a lot of confidence in them and Like I said there Of course you look up there. I had all the confidence words just like I did in New York He was gonna smoke smoke that thing in there and he did. I like that laugh at a celebration too From practice Like you said, I mean you have a ton of confidence in your way does that change Sometimes how you think of end of half end of game sure versus other maybe if you didn't have a kicker that you go I mean, that's that's part of the strategy to I mean no different in the Washington strategy, you know, and it's So it happens, but they get down there and you know, if we were able on that third down that Hineke rolled out and the guy leaked out late. They made a play, right? What you get them tackled there or you know, he throws it out You're gonna have plenty of time and then we'll see either the game's gonna be over because again You know, we'd already missed two extra point. I mean that there is some psychology there. So hey like Or they'll have more time to go down and say hey We you know, he makes it then we're gonna go back down just like we did yesterday and we'll set young way up But we got down there in field range and we had to throw the Hail Mary Yeah, certainly Yes, big play it was a big momentum plays, you know Marlon did a good job they He globs down him odd it comes free and odd he's got a lot of length No different than an aqua knocking the one pass down for Matt. I mean it's Hard to coach size, you know me like it's like having to Kimbe Matumbo Goes up there, you know, you wish he said you had a special drill for his block shots So he can give you one of those but It's like a day. I mean a day. He's got a length That's a land of reference that's an Atlanta reference I'm just gonna ask you where you thought Matumbo could play in the NFL if anywhere Can we put him on the field going extra point block? So to Kimbe if you watch this We'll get Terry to work you out here tomorrow. See if you got you got one good jump in here So we can get one of those Yeah, I've seen that I've seen that when people played JJ Watt, so I've definitely seen that I think they show clips of that I think New England was doing it. Yeah You know Yeah, it's everything everything goes into it and understand where you're at Like I said, it's It's hard. It's easier said than done, right? Especially in today's climate Where everything is in your face you can open that that phone and you can find whatever you're looking for good bad or whatever To try to keep perspective it's the hardest thing to do We appreciate all the time If not overreact Whether things are really good or they're bad. It's that's neither one's really true Especially as you just sit there and focus kind of that narrow alley and never have your analogy You want to you got to be objective and just understand like can I look at this thing without too much emotion? Or you know you make a good good play or good, you know The guys get caught up in that stuff or that you know the negative stuff So that it's a challenge and the really good ones understand that and you can stay kind of on that on that narrow bridge so to speak and and that's a journey and you and you want to keep Getting better and you want to have a shot at the end So what we're trying to do now is to push through hopefully we can get get to a winning record. It's a visual game It's that we need to win at home. It's only our third Real home game. I know I'm London we were in Tottenham, but you know We're almost in November and it's our third one and but we need to go down there And we need to give our fans a reason to be excited And it'd be a big weekend around Atlanta. We want to be able to hopefully get a couple good braves wins and then we can cap it off Sunday afternoon form Well, it's the whole team They'll be ready to go. They'll be ready to go. They get they get their physical defense They get they can put pressure on you on the edge with burns. We know that I think a good skills skill guys outside Like everything, you know, so there's peaks and valleys and obviously they started the year really hot and It's a good at every game then it felt gonna be a challenge. It's a good football team really well coached and It'll be a big divisional game here Sunday Yeah, no, I mean you really grow up in Memphis with not a real allegiance to any proteins, right? You go up there and somebody's got an SEC allegiance Didn't have one, you know in my family and my dad went to Yale. My mom went to University of Memphis So, you know huge old Memphis State fan basketball wise and football wise Yeah, so everybody there is either a Cardinals or Braves fan Obviously Braves are really good in their early 90s, they're always on TV and In a playoff so I like it. I enjoy all sports. I Love that. I think there's always things you can learn from and it's really cool to watch what they've done And they talk about you know narratives, I mean, I you know, I remember a couple years ago I had a nephew that was graduating from the Naval Academy and I was up in DC And so I went to a Nats game and they were struggling I think they were 10 games or so below 500 and they're saying hey, they need to Have a whole wholesale change and trade everybody build it You know tear it down and then a couple months later they went in the World Series Braves same thing at doing a hell of a job at this good to watch team Overcome adversity and chip away. It's a long it's even longer season at baseball That mighty I can't imagine writing 162 stories Yeah, I got a lot of stuff for that and those it's a grind and then they kept chipping away and it's cool to see it It's a good I thought it was cool to see on the TV is how electric the atmosphere was And that's what winning does and so We need to get you know create our momentum create up a good home field advantage down in Mercedes Benz Yeah Are they doing pretty good, and we'll know more Wednesday throughout the week, but feel pretty good about you know again It's like when you ask this question. I know you got to do your job But we won't have a final answer, you know, we get through Wednesday Thursday and Friday But we feel pretty good, but that doesn't mean that something can't come up Things change. That's why I don't want to give you exact timelines because there's there's just too many variables that can happen, but we feel Okay, you're sitting on Monday feel pretty good about where they're at, but we'll see Like 610 611, I mean, obviously they're very rare, right, but could they could have got that big play Maybe anything other than like offensive line football or is there do you think there's kind of like well The odds are saying that they I would never count somebody out. I mean sometimes I know this like You know some of the battles we had with Kalea's Campbell and when he was in Chacksville There's certain times I felt like he was seven foot tall coming at you Certain guys that just have a lot of length As you talked about what like the guys that are really good at knocking the ball down I wouldn't I'll never count anybody out, but you know, they're historically there hadn't been a ton of guys that tall play Not counting you out to came back. I Think he's big falcon fan for her Yeah, I'm not gonna get me in that debate I'm not sitting here trying to run around our own flowery branch like you know first take There you go, there's a reference Listen, yeah, try to get me in the little bronze order debate I'm not gonna give it a Place which only just hit it right down the fairway
