 What should I have the first day of practice for, you know, regular season going to get ready for the Eagles here? Yeah, I thought we got some good work in today. It's a big week for us. Obviously, there's a lot of excitement. Week one, opening days always. Good, nice time around the NFL. There'll be a lot of excitement all week, and we know we got a big challenge ahead of us. So, Tess DeMond, are you all okay to get everybody through? Everybody was available today at practice, so that was a plus. You mentioned, obviously, you know, you go back a lot with Phillies DC. Yeah, John. Does that help you in any way? Is that maybe kind of less of a, like, is that maybe a one area or be less of a surprise? Maybe what you're even going to do because of that relationship? No, you know, I'm not a big, like, off-season clinic guy with people for a lot of reasons. You know, we all study and everybody's got different, you build relationships and obviously there's a lot of guys on the staff. I've got relationships with some of them I've worked with, Jason Michael, Kevin Petuo, John Cannon, Tracy Rocker, guys that I've got relationships with. But, you know, it's a very competitive league. They got really smart coaches over there. I don't necessarily say, hey, it's going to give me more advantage one way or the other. You do have some familiarity, but I haven't worked with John in going on about eight years. So, you know, as he's going on in Minnesota and in Indy, and we obviously faced Indy in our old division quite a bit, but he's going to have his own stamp on that defense. I know they'll play, they'll play sound. They'll be attacking that football. They'll be really, really sound in the secondary and that's a really good front we got to play. And I think both of their fronts, about as good as there are in the league experience. I mean, you know, most of those guys were on that Super Bowl team, so we know we got to work cut off, of course. You just said you're not a big clinic guy. Is that how you've been throughout your entire career? Or is that more of a recent thing? Because you're some young coaches. You use that. Sure. It's like invaluable. Sure. And there's nothing knocking on it because you got to learn in different ways. It's more, I guess, when I say that it's not that I'm sitting there trying to share a bunch of things. I'm trying to actively learn and I've never been one that's big and then trying to, I guess, share everything that we do. Not that I think that we have some kind of, you know, state secrets, but it's just my personal philosophy. So to go back to the question is, you know, John and I haven't sat there and tried to clinic each other about here's what we're doing. I mean, you're in the vision. You just know at some point you're going to basically, somebody's a good coach, which I knew right away, John, was that you're going to have to compete against them. How about the maturity of this rookie class? But I was just curious, in your general perspective, what are some actionable ways you see that maturity maybe like in a live situation? Well, in a live situation, it's really the day after day. You know, you don't have to sit there and babysit them. You know, there's a lot of, you know, we've got a good player development program here that tries to help. And the NFL, the Leeds got their own program and every team doesn't, I think, a pretty good job of making sure you help the rookies. There's so much thrown at them. It's different than coming from college football. But having said that, there's a lot of the stuff that I haven't had to do a ton of babysitting. I wish there was wood to knock on wood here. But there's little things like that, you know, the way these guys, they've, they've attached themselves with some quality. That's to try to learn the ways about how to go through a week in the NFL, how to get through training camp and that sort of stuff. Yeah, I think with Jalen, I know you talked last time about, like, baptism by fire, essentially. And I'm just curious, you know, I feel like a lot of times when you have that baptism moment, it's either a moment where you fall on your base and you learn from it, or you can kind of see a guy pulling through his own. What is the difference between those two types of players in a moment? Well, I think the thing is, is to keep, and I've used it before, keep perspective. Certainly he's going to be facing some pretty good players. This Sunday and there's going to be somebody every week. I always said this and, you know, maybe to quote Russ Krim here, but like somebody's got to draw the short end of straw on every play. So, you know, it's the NFL. And it's, I found it valuable working with guys like Russ or Bruce Matthews or Mike Munchak guys that played up front. Well, three of those guys are in Canton and they could tell you stories endlessly about their first snaps or, you know, the matchups they might have had week to week and going back. And that's why I love the history of the game. I mean, they talked about ironically playing Philly, you know, I go back to Munch and Bruce, you know, and then depending on the matchups, you had Reggie White, you had Jerome Brown, slip of my mind here, the interior guys, but I mean, they were loaded up front, right? And then, you know, so somebody had a tough job on every one of those plays and you come back going back to the Oilers versus Eagles or whoever and going on. So, you know, at some point, you know, we drafted him here and he and I had an opportunity to play and I was going to look at it as an opportunity. And we understand that there may be some growing pains. We try to eliminate certain risks, but eventually at some point there's going to be a third down and you don't have to block one of their guys. So, I got a lot of faith in Jalen, but that's for every rookie. It'll be an opportunity. How much does, you know, we're talking about precision of technique and how just important that was for him and his development? But I mean, I guess it goes, I mean, it definitely goes to Jalen, too. I mean, with this group, how important is that kind of coming in so we want to already have that precision of technique as the groundwork? Yeah, I mean, you know, and Henny does a nice job. And again, he's a young player. It's not like he's some seven years salty, but either, you know, that's the thing. If you look at our front other than Jake, and there's pretty young, and we believe in these guys, but there's a lot to learn. I love the mindset of those guys, the way that that line works. I think Led's done a great job in there. And I'm excited to see these guys go out there and compete against a really good front Sunday afternoon. The fact that Jalen D. Wright was being played against, you know, playing next to a guy like Matt, who, what are you saying, doesn't have a ton of experience. Sure. Maybe that's a change of what you call early on. But does that change anything early on? Because that wasn't necessarily what y'all were expecting. We could go at this time because y'all should. Yeah, that's life in NFL. And you better have a contingency plan. And, you know, I won't fully answer that because I don't want to get into strategy or scheme. But those are, you know, when we took Jalen, we understood that there's a good chance the way we came out of the draft. And, you know, we obviously added a little bit of free agency here. But we understood that at some point they're going to have to play. And we feel pretty comfortable about the guys we'll put out there. Going back, you initially had really two vets next to Matt at that point. Now, that's not going to happen. Is there any sort of reference to what? I'm getting a reference to me playing him at all. Sure. Does that, yeah, does that, is there any sort of like, oh man, maybe could have gotten him 5-10? It's not just to get him some work now that you're in this situation a week later? No. It was important to get Jalen in those reps. We felt good about Matt at the camp and the way he hit himself in camp going down to Miami. So, no, the more of the guys that haven't played was the experience. You know, we had a huge rookie class. And a lot of guys that had never, even some of the first year guys that had been on bounce on practice squad had never been in an NFL game. At least Matt and Lynchram and Caleb had played in NFL games. So, it was more of the focus was on Drew and Jalen. Make sure they got real reps. You made the move to pick up Garmin and Black Quadrant. What went into, I guess, both sides of that decision? Yeah, it's obviously not the end of the road for Quadra. But, you know, Wayne was a guy we thought we want to bring in here that maybe can add something for us. Certainly at the backfield or more importantly on the fourth down. So, that was a big part of it. Not to say that he won't at some point get carries and not to say that you can't put somebody up on practice squad that can play here on this Sunday. So, all the options are on the table. But, that was part of the reason we wanted to bring Garmin in here. Coach, how important, you know, a whole backfield's new, the line, you know, got a couple new guys up there. How important will it be to get the running game going? It'll be important every week. Like I said, it's a lot of things factor into the run game. We, you know, offensively, again, we want to make sure that we are balanced. That number can change week to week depending on the matchups. But, certainly, you'd love to have the same five. And I've been saying that all camp, that's just not the reality. You know, for the most part of 2019 when I was in Tennessee, yeah, we did have a majority of the same five. And then last year we didn't. And, you know, for multiple factors and I'm not certainly trying to take credit for something. But, it does the reality of the NFL. So, you know, it's, you've got to trust that you're working the right things, that you're coming up with the right contingency plans, and that you're getting these guys enough, enough reps and enough work that they feel good about the combination blocks or if they get singled up, the technique and everybody's in sync. And that's continual work and that happens throughout the season. Thank you.
