 Tim Shaw, just about what went in that decision, maybe how special it is for both the Saints and the Tights to represent some of the. Well, I think first of all, we're excited to be able to have Tim Shaw be our honorary captain. Be at the coin toss before the game, travel down there, be a part of our pregame activities. Obviously, Steve Gleason and what he means to New Orleans and to the Saints. And so hopefully we can bring awareness to an awful disease that is taking two warriors and put them in a chair, but they're fighting their own fight and spreading the word and raising a lot of money. So we're excited to be able to do that and appreciate the Saints and what they've done, Dennis Allen and the organization in New Orleans to be able to make this all happen. I think Stretch came to me during the break in the summer and we talked and Stretch had a great idea to be able to see if they were willing to do it. Reached out to Dennis and talked to Mickey and very quickly was able to get that in motion. So I appreciate their willingness to try to be able to do that. How would you describe the impact Tim's had on you that you've been here, maybe on the team as the years go by? Being able just to see firsthand what that disease can do from the time that I got here to where now Tim is. And it's just great that he can come in here, talk through special teams, watch tape, and I think it's always just a great reminder of how lucky we are, how fortunate we are that we get to do what we do, be able to play this game and coach this game. What does it say about Tim that despite his circumstances, he still loves to begin with football and to be around it? It's his life, you see his family grew up playing football and Tim's career, just a grinder and being on different teams and figuring out a way to make it, make an impact on special teams and just his willingness to come here and be here in the heat and training camp and sit through meetings and give his notes and Tim's tips and all the things that we do. So Craig Ackerman and his staff have really opened up their doors to Tim. Well, wanted to make sure one that he wanted to do it. It's a big process, traveling down there and going through all that. That's a lot out of his normal routine. So I think, first of all, just showing him the respect and asking him if that was something that he would want to do. And just like the football camp here, because we may think it's a great idea, but Tim may not and so I think that was the first thing that we wanted to do. And he was all for it and I know that him and his family are excited to be able to go down there and watch the game with Steve and his family. This is Tim's tip, so does it each week does he give maybe some keys or? Well, he has conversations with Auk and Levine and Tom Quinn. And so then he'll have his ideas or things that he can tell the players that they help him with and we give those out to the guys. Which will this figure help bring attention to the ALS? Well, I hope anything could help. I think it's, a couple years ago I put up Tim's picture from when he played. The guys that hadn't been here and didn't know who the guy that was in the wheelchair and with a trach tube and a computer screen in front of him, they didn't know. And so my way of introducing Tim was to show him this linebacker jacked up and sweat and grass stains and everything. And then it's asked them if they know who that was and they didn't. I didn't expect them to and I said, well, it's the same guy that's sitting over there and that's the shock. And I think if we can just understand that, I mean that these two athletes, and there's a lot of people, but these are guys that I know and I've watched Steve play and I've watched him play that go from these incredible athletes and physical players running around, crashing into people. And then something that just takes it away pretty sudden. So hopefully it brings great awareness to it. How'd you think your week went? I thought it was good. I thought it was good. I thought Wednesday, you know, Monday, Wednesday, it's a longer week than what we're used to. And I thought today was was our best day. I thought we were efficient. We were urgent, not perfect, never will be. But I felt like the energy was there and we're excited to, you know, continue to prepare and then ultimately play on Sunday. What are you going to do for the backup quarterback tonight? Well, we'll have the game day 90 minutes before the situation. Is there something that you have to be more cognizant of when you've got that much extra time in preparation for the game? Well, just continue to focus, you know, not chasing goals. Continue to focus on fundamentals. Continue to focus on situations as a whole. There's a lot of things that come up week one, you know. You look at Petsburg and Cincinnati last year, you know, Cincinnati scores in the last player regulation. They attempt an extra point with their third tight end and kick gets blocked. They miss another kick in overtime because they're working with a backup snapper. Petsburg goes down, executes, hurry up situation, clocks the ball, kicks a 53-yarder. There's every, there's going to be something like that. It's going to happen in our game that we're going to have to understand what it is and be able to execute it. With the idea of getting off to a big start, especially after so long since you guys played in a game, do you do anything different this week? Well, we've tried to practice like that. You know, man, we've tried to practice with the noise and understand the environment. And, you know, I think the biggest thing will just be our execution and not sitting there and waiting for them. It's a good defense with excellent players and a good scheme. And, you know, we'll have to be aggressive in our actions no matter what we call. Andres, the president's still a part of what surprised you. I mean, has it been about what you expected or anything? Well, I mean, when you signed players, I think you've said this before, that you want them to want to be here, right? So that's evident by his actions and conversations and his work each and every day. So I don't think it surprised me, no. So I just, when you have guys that want to be here, that's what you get. Anybody that's been ruled out? That's not your question. That's not your question. Anybody can rule that. Trey Avery will be ruled out. That'll be it. Thanks, guys. Being familiar with this offense, I feel good. Obviously, there are some new things, you know, that I didn't used to run. So having TK and Ronald play a lot of ball helped me, you know, get acclimated. Feels good. Anything surprised you or different than what you thought it would be, whether it would work on with Coach Brayville or Toronto Hill or anything like that? No, those guys win. They won. They did it when I was in Houston. They won games. They did it when I was in Arizona. So the same mindset that I expected. Those guys are competitive. You've been a big volume guy. You think this offense would be able to get you a ball? I'm just here trying to do whatever I can to help this team win. It'll give me the ball to block. With that matchup from our Sean Latterworth, you guys have had that before. How much have you looked forward to that? It's just another game to me. And I really don't put too much emphasis on who's guarding me. I like to group around you for you, from Traylin to Nick to Chris and have your guys kind of follow you through this process. It's been a good running process, you know. Being with a lot of these guys, you know, I knew some of them. I know Chris played some ball before, you know. So, you know, it feels good just, you know, actually being able to see what they can do out there. And I feel like, you know, we're excited. Everybody's excited to go out and play with our family. You said Derrick was one of the guys that you kind of, what's the reason you came here? How excited are you to line up with his teammate on Sunday? I'm very excited. One of the best players in the NFL. How could I not be excited to play with him? You talked in the magazine story that just came out about some of the teams that didn't even return your calls when you were feeling out the market. How'd that leave you feeling that some teams didn't even consider you? So, you know, all of the 31 teams, you know, I'm trying my best, you know, to go out and beat them. That's my job. Rob Moore has said that one of the things that impressed him about you was your ability to always create space. And watching that, liking it to Dennis Robin, so I have to ask you like, do you have, like, a only first background or anything like that? Yeah, I played ball a little bit, not too much. You know, I only played one year at Clemson. I set the bench most of the time, so I wouldn't say it's a background career, but just trying to go up and get the ball and play football, that's what I do. I'm not really a burner, but I get the separation I need. Do you like it more to being a rebounder or more to catching the movement, as far as always being in a position to hit the ball? I think it's more like a rebound, just knowing who's around you and feeling forward, not pushing off and not using your hands too much, we're just having that awareness on who's around you. How advanced is your relationship with Ryan after a full time? You know, Ryan and I both played a lot of balls, so you guys will see this coming Sunday. Grable talks about when signing guys, you want guys that want to be inspiring, you feel like it's the best place for you in terms of wanting to be here and just doing the right thing for you? Absolutely. Why? They won games. They won games. Great organization. Ryan, Grable, TK, everybody. It's great place. What have you learned about Mike Gage and Coach once you got into meeting rules? I knew Mike before he was here as a coach and he's the same Mike that I knew in Houston. He's compared to trying to get the best out of everybody.
