 That first touchdown drive for you guys, and maybe what did you guys show by kind of overcoming a few things on that drive? I think there's a third down, fourth down, kind of things like that. Yeah, it was big. Just being able to find a way to move the chains. I feel like it helps you gain confidence, you know, for the rest of the game, knowing that you can do that. And then also being able to convert down there in the red zone just to give confidence. Like, all right, you know, we got that monkey off our back. Let's just go and keep doing it really. The wind doesn't solve everything, but how much it helped maybe change the mood around here today? Yeah, I mean, it's always fun to win. It's not easy to win in this league. Feels a lot better winning than losing. I mean, everybody can say that about anything. So I feel like it gives us a good opportunity to try to build this momentum and learn from what we did yesterday and try to keep it going forward. What do you guys in 4-0 at home averaging 20-plus here, but 11 on the road? Is there something to just how things work at home for you guys as opposed on the road? Yeah, I mean, I'm not sure. I couldn't really put a name on it. I mean, if I were to guess, it's just like a, you know, just feeling comfortable here. I feel like we know what to do at home. I don't know what it is, but we got to find a way to do it again this week and then find a way to take it on the road finally. What do you think happened the second half yesterday where offense obviously wasn't the same as it was in the first half? Yeah, I mean, that's just on us really to try to close that game out. That's something we got to improve on. You know, that four-minute opportunity. Obviously, you know, scoring in third quarter try to try to build that lead. But eventually, you know, once we got to that four-minute opportunity, I think that's something that we've normally kind of hung our hat on and that we kind of missed the mark on yesterday. You talked about carrying confidence over after a win. When you guys have been successful here in the past, what does it take to do that? What did it take to carry over that confidence? I think part of it is highlighting what we did well, fixing what we did that we didn't do well, but then also not getting too high on ourselves and not getting too low on the mistakes. I think it's just, I think we're best when we're kind of even keel and we know what we're doing, we know not to get too high or too low, but still celebrate what we do well. When you look at this lead and how dramatically things can shift, I mean, the Broncos gave up 70 to Miami and they won five in a row. And you guys have seen your actions. How does that happen in this lead? I think you see teams like that and I think with us too, it's like the phrase, you trust the process, right? You keep going at it day after day. You might not see the results immediately, but eventually, like for the Broncos right now, now they're winning games. They probably didn't feel super confident early on, but it's just trusting that process, trusting that what we've done here in the past works and just believing in that and trusting the work that we're putting in. Is this going to be a confident team in your opinion? I'd say so. I mean, we showed it yesterday in the plays that we had to make, we did make. We ended up coming out with the win. So I don't think you can win a game without having confidence. Having another four of your last six at home when you're four now, how much does that hurt your confidence for the stretch you're on here that you guys can put together in a row? Yeah, I mean, there is confidence in that. You know, we know we haven't lost here at home. So I mean, they say preparation builds confidence and I think we've prepared by winning here. So I think that's something we can hang our hat on and continue to go forward. Will was pretty specific as far as his own critiques of some misses he had specifically in the second half. As a receiver, how nice is it to hear that? Not only from your quarterback, but from your young quarterback, is that self-aware? Yeah, it's always good that someone can own up to mistakes or missed opportunities. That's the nature of this business. I feel like part of being a pro is understanding where you miss the mark and trying to improve those things. Do you remember about the first Colts game and maybe what are some things that maybe need to change for you guys to have more success this time around? Yeah, I feel like looking back, I might have to watch the film on that game again because I'm really what is the goldfish mentality from 10 Lasso. I forget about things really easily if it's not going to help me going forward. But I think the self-inflicted wounds, like the unforced air, a lot of those things have showed up through the season that have held us back. And then really just trying to take advantage of the big play opportunities. I feel like we did do that well and that's something we got to continue to do well against Andy. We'll show you guys maybe on the drive right before the half in terms of efficiency and getting you guys set up and getting the field goal up there. Yeah, that was a big drive for us just to get an extra three points there. It's something we work on a lot at practice and we've worked on it throughout training camp that pretty much that same exact situation. We've done it through practice over the last 10 weeks, 11 weeks, several times so it's something we feel confident with. Nick, how do you kind of evaluate Will week by week by week in regards to his seeing the field and finding the right guys? Yeah, I mean, it's not my job to evaluate him but he's been doing well. I think he's still learning and that's part of the process of being a rookie quarterback is still figuring out who's open and what coverage is going on. But I feel like he's going at it the right way and he's trusting the process and figuring it out. Have you seen trailing around too much and had a chance to visit and talk to him? Yeah, I've talked to him a little bit. Seems to be doing better. Obviously that's always a tough deal with those head injuries. So I don't really know much details but at least in good spirits and it's a blessing that he's alright because that was a scary play. Nick, a lot of guys have talked about just building on getting L-win. Now that you've got that win, how much confidence is in this room that you guys can build on that here in the center? Yeah, there's a lot. I mean, we said earlier, you know, we feel confident at home for some reason and it showed and we know we got a lot more of those home opportunities. So that's part of it but also it's a familiar opponent and I think we feel like we own one also. Are you aware during a game like that that they're suffering those injuries on the offensive line and that the people across from you are changing as frequently as they are or are you just kind of... Yeah, we saw I think it was 62 that went out earlier and Nico and Jeff was the main ones who knew about it first and then told everybody that 62 out and I think 66 came in. We didn't have much film about them, knowing about them so we just went in and saw what we did on the field. You see, Greg, on a regular basis, spending like one-on-one time with guys. I think he spent some time with you in practice last week. What have you learned from him? What's he teaching those moments and how's he maybe been as a coach for you? Last week I got to recall we were just talking about length on run defense. When a guy come out and base you, I'm alone so he was just teaching me how to be longer while I'm able to shed off blocks. But Greg's always coming in coaching, giving us two cents into whether it's pass, rush, run, stopping, anything dealing with outside line. I mean he played it before, was successful at it so if he see anything that's lacking from the OLB room then he'll come and tell us. They move you guys around like you'll be inside and Jeff will be outside or vice versa. Is that something that comes out throughout the week or is it something like in the game you're like, hey look, I can take them? It comes throughout the week. I think we've been given the freedom to do that a lot more. That's why you see it a lot lately in the last three games. But that's something that we incorporate throughout the week, whether it's tackles out, ends inside, things of that sort. How do you personally build on what you were able to do yesterday? You had a big game in the season opener against New Orleans then quiet for a little while and yesterday you had a big game. How do you build on that going forward in stack games? I mean just throughout my career and my history in November, December, AK coming alive. So I mean it's that time, it's the end of November and we're coming into December so I mean that's why I play my best ball there. Will said yesterday that he felt like this team needed to get their mojo back, some juice back, swagger back. What does this team need to do outside of just getting that win to get back in that rhythm? I mean that's what we needed. We needed to get the win. The win cures a lot of things and us getting this win, it was a great win. Especially us coming back home and then being on the road for three games, having to lose like that. And the way we did, just coming out and getting the win which builds up the confidence and come in and beat the coach and build more confidence for us. I take it you're never a guy who needs to get his swagger back. You keep doing this pretty much all the time. All the time. When you are in a slump, who is it that gets you out of it? A slump? Just me really. Sometimes I do get in the slump but you look at my past experiences specifically just with football and how things are going. Especially this year. I've been in this situation before and just go back and look at the experience that I went through and the things that I was doing, the things that I wasn't doing, that I could have been doing. You just go back and look at those things and then you just come in Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday with a smile on your face and ready to work. You played pretty early. It seemed apparent like there was a big chance to go get the football there. Does that turn into slow motion scenario for you as you're closing on him? Can you talk us through kind of what you see and when you know what's going to happen? Yeah, I mean sometimes you get white noise. Especially on that play you can see the slow line and just the ball movement. That's why I came over top of him the way I did. Usually something hit the side, arm or whatever the case may be. But it's just slow motion. When you come out there and you're running, you know you got the sack. And then unfortunately he threw the ball and I got the sack fumble. But that's just the way it went. That's the way the cars was played at that time. You were with Jacksonville last year and they were kind of giving up for dead at this time of the year and then went on an impressive run to make the playoffs. Do you preach any of that to these guys in this locker room? Here? Yeah. Yeah, I mean when we had those three losses and everybody had their inputs on different things. But for me, every time it was when I was in Jacksonville or San Fran when we went through those, we went back to the bases. We went back just like last week. We went back to the bases. We went to camp stuff. The thing we ran in camp, we ran last week. And the things in camp is we know how to run. We know how to run those things. And we play fast as you saw last Sunday just because everything was simple. I saw you yesterday after you enjoyed some time with the fans out there and all that. How much do you enjoy that part of it? And how much have you enjoyed just sort of being in Nashville this year? I enjoy it because I know just growing up, I ain't got a vet as gold. I know everybody can tell it a mile away. But I know a lot of kids, a lot of fans just want to be around it, want to take pictures around it, want to do that. And even though we went out there and got the win, went out there and had a long game, I just feel like it's up to me to come out and show the fans and show Nashville. I'm a very loving guy. You can read it on the social media, read it in the papers. But to get a handshake, to get a smile, to get a picture, to get an autograph from me, it'll go a long way. You guys said yesterday that you can't win at home. You have to win your home games. What is behind that pride that you have in making sure that you got to win at home? It's just nobody. Just as a man, you want to allow another man to come to your house and take anything in your house. So it's like that with football. We win. We got great fans. They care. They really care. They're really into it. And I think it would be a disservice for us to not go out and play and go out there and try to get the win for our home fans, the home games. When you look back to the first game against Andy, obviously they had a lot of success running the ball. What do you remember from that and what can you guys correct to make sure that doesn't happen? They beat us up. They ran the ball on us and they beat us up. And that was the worst game. I think that was the worst game we lost this year. But we owe them. They're going to come in and probably try to run the ball again. And they're going to be a team to test it and try to test it and run the ball. So it's up to us to stop the run so we can get to the pass. Was there some added motivation maybe, Arden, when postseason doesn't look great for you guys, but if you're playing teams that are right in the thick of a playoff chase, maybe some added motivation to try and knock those teams off? No, we ain't at that point yet. We're motivated to knock people out. We're still fighting to get to the playoffs. It's just a coach. It's the next game up. And we owe them. We owe them from the first time. So I don't think it's about playoffs or anything. They beat us last game bad and we owe them this game. How much do you think this week you could get back in the hot at Biden's? Every week is valuable. We got to stack wins now. Now it's a crucial time for us to stack wins. Yeah, you can sit here and say, yeah, we should win out seven games in a row. X, Y, and Z, we want that, but we want to stack wins. We want more wins than losses these last seven, eight games. You brought up the car. How long you had it? Two years. You bring it with you from San Fran and Jacksonville or just Jacksonville? Jacksonville, yeah. You see Jeff chase Bryce Jones from sidelines to sidelines and stay on the field. I mean, is that just leading by example? Because I didn't know how he was even going to get down into stance on the next play. That's great. We just saw that play. The outside linebacker was just watching it. It's just amazing. I mean, that's what we preach. I mean, and then he's a professional. He's a pro. Effort is what we teach and what we preach over here. And in order to be a Titan, you have to go out there and play with tremendous effort. And if you don't, then you want to be a Titan. And I think he's just the best. The best item to look at if you want to be a Titan. You look at Jefferson. You obviously had a previous relationship with Rand. And I would imagine he played a big role in you coming here. What were some of the things that stood out to you about him and made you want to get reunited here in Nashville? Just our relationships. Just our relationship in San Fran and how he operated over there in San Fran. Everybody speak highly of him. We had a relationship in San Fran. So it was just easy once he made the phone call, easy for me to pick up and say, what's up? How do you feel this organization has done as far as living up to the pitch that he and everyone else gave? It's been good. I think everybody has kept their word thus far. And I can't be more than happy to see it's not made. On the other side of the line of the screen, what do you see from the quarterback? Will and just how he kind of cares himself. Maybe some of the confidence that he brings. Boys, boys, boys quarterback. Will take a hit. Sitting there taking a hit. Can't deliver the ball anywhere on the field. Smart quarterback. And he's becoming a leader. He didn't want to break us down yesterday coming out for the game. He broke us down. Not Jeff, not the older guys that beat him as a rookie. And the things he said, he got us going. He definitely got us going. And he just, he brought it back to us. He said, in this other, we see a lot of dogs. So God never play like a dog. No matter what, everybody else saying or whatever. I see a lot of talent in this group. So let's go out there and play. Is that affecting that, Drusher? You go get after a quarterback, you hit some guys. You can see him get a little rattled. He's got a lot of escape. A guy like Will, who's willing to stand in there, take a hit, and he's unfazed by it. How does that affect you during a game? It'll be very annoying as an edge rusher. Hit in the quarterback. He don't show any type of emotions. It's been a time when he didn't got hit and looked at the guy. He looked, he, they hit him. So it's, it's one of those. He just got that, that mentality, that, a dog mentality. Is that all you got? I don't know. Maybe he's saying something or whatever, but it's one of those looks like you got to keep coming. On the other side of that, Arden, what's your feeling when you're right behind the quarterback and about to hit him from behind, and he clearly has no idea that you're right there? What's, what's that feeling like? The ball. The ball? Cause he don't, he don't, he don't see it. I'm on the right side, the blind spot. And then on the play-action type pass like it was, those routes are longer. The play is more developing on longer routes. So if he, he, he expects for, they hold up to be a little longer. And him not expecting it. It's a easy, easy, easy thing to get a sack from in those situations. I gotta imagine though, once you're right there, it's got to be like, I'm about to tee you off. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I miss something like that too though. You got an opinion on who the husband trophy winner ought to be? Two. I'll be biased if I say God for LSU. Ha, ha, ha, ha. Mike, nine rookies yesterday. How much is some of this youth maybe part of the penalty issues that have been going on, or is it just needing to, needing some guys to maybe clean up some things? Well, I guess you'd have to go through the penalties, and then I'd have to look and tell you whether they're a rookie or not. Okay. Are you seeing any common theme in some of the penalties? No, no. Jalen had a, you know, a fall start. You know, we had a couple of those. We had three of those. You know that hurt us, and we have to use Cadence as a weapon. You know, we're at home. Just as we have to be good on a silent count on the road, you know, we have to be able to use that as a weapon, especially on third down, whether that's to address some of the coverage or some of the pressure that may come, or even to get them to jump. And, you know, we had three of those. I'm not going to sit here and, you know, tell you that, you know, one was tougher than the other, or a guy blitzing and us flinching. And, you know, we just have to, you know, find a way to continue to use that as a weapon and not jump off sides and make it harder for ourselves than what, you know, this game already is. How do you think Jalen held up first start? Well, I think it was okay. I mean, I think that there were some good snaps. I think early, you know, he got powered and needs to replace his hands and, you know, he settled down and, you know, I thought he did a nice job and had some good snaps. You know, I think that he was conscious, you know, as we look at, you know, Derek maybe cutting back and a guy breaking the framework of his body and Jalen letting them go and not just, you know, tugging them right there at the point of attack is something that we try to talk to those guys about where, you know, the offensive linemen may not know or they don't know where the running back is and, you know, they're just trying to block them and stay square and get some movement and then as the back decides to, you know, to make his cut wherever they're going, that sometimes these guys shed and you find a guy that, you know, there's some restriction at the point of attack and, you know, I saw that Jalen, you know, let the guy go and Derek was able to get the corner and gain, you know, 12 or 15 yards. You know, would have liked to have a better block on the throw to Chig, you know, but Will made a great throw with pressure and Chig helped Will out, so that's kind of how it goes sometimes. You know, but I thought it was okay for, you know, for his first extended, you know, action. How about how much of the time did you leave him single-blocked in one-on-one situations yesterday, especially the pass probe? You know, just a lot of that is, you know, based on, you know, the third down distance protection, you know, I don't have a certain percentage, you know, it's based on, you know, formation and, you know, some of the first and second down stuff and, you know, there were some good pockets, you know, and some of the first and second down stuff, which, you know, maybe a few weeks earlier that had been, you know, where some of the breakdown had occurred on some of our play-action game, you know, but there were some good pockets that we were able to throw the football from and then there were some, you know, early on, I mean, in the third down, they brought five guys and Will didn't have much time to do much. What are the why's you guys are at home 24 points on the road, it's like 11. Is there anything that you could put your finger on to say, like, why is so different offensively? You know, I don't want to say, sit here and say that we've played good defenses, but I know that, you know, that's probably part of it. We have, I think, played good defenses. You look at the, you know, where the Saints were week one and, you know, I felt like that was a good defense and, you know, Pittsburgh on the road, you know, see the type of defense that they play and that's probably, you know, being realistic, you know, we know that we have to be better. We're focused on, you know, being better at home, because that's where our next game is. And then, you know, attacking those things and just the details and just how critical just a few things are when you're on the road and the noise and, you know, getting off on the snap count and all those different things that attribute to that. But right now our focus is, you know, preparing to win a division game at home. How real is that energy from the crowd that you guys experienced? Yeah, I mean, when we play hard and we play well and we play complimentary, I mean, I thought that there was, you know, great energy and I thought defensively the thing, you know, probably the most proud of and excited about was, you know, that we gave up some plays or we gave up a third down penalty or conversion or quarterback scramble and it came back and there was a long drive that had penalties on it that we held them to a field goal and then responded after the second half scoring drive and then kind of kept battling and we got the turnover and, you know, some really good opportunities and cool things in there. We just try to put it together for 60 minutes. Martin was talking about how meaningful it was for him to see Will break it down in the huddle before the game. When you see that or some of the other steps Will's taken to be a leader as a rookie. Just what does it mean to you to see him take those steps? Well, I mean, we all know how important their quarterback position is in this league and in football and, you know, part of that is, you know, performance based but I think there's a leadership element to it that has to go on that, you know, everybody has to see that that player is invested and that player is, you know, performing and cares, you know, as much if not more than everybody else. Because you have to chase this Bryce Young from sideline to sideline and then stays on the field to brush the passer the very next play. Is that something you show as kind of a teaching moment for your team with what the effort is all about? That's going to be, you know, I mean, that's one of them. You know, those examples are, you know, there's quite a few of them, you know, and I think that, you know, every week is a challenge and Bryce did a nice job. I thought, you know, we factored in the middle of the pocket yesterday and, you know, we'll have to continue to try to contain those, you know, those quarterbacks that can scramble. But, you know, Jeffrey works hard and is conditioning, works hard to play a lot of snaps for us and to to help us impact the game. What's the coaching, teaching been like with Chig, I guess, throughout the season as he's kind of tried to develop consistency and how much of hope, you know, yesterday is maybe give some a little bit of confidence to keep playing well. Well, I love, you know, I mean, I love Chig's energy, love what he can do. Continue to find ways to, you know, to get on the ball and some of the details and he did a very nice job of slipping out of there yesterday. He was, you know, good on a check down, getting out of bounds, knowing that, you know, how he needed to get out of bounds, you know, got in there and did a nice job on a seal block. We just couldn't get the safety and, you know, so he's, again, fantastic to work with, fun to work with and, you know, we'll continue to find ways to have him help us in the run game and in the pass game. Yeah, I thought it was, you know, just felt good about the call, wanted to try to get it off the call sheet, been on there for a little bit, so, you know, just felt like we needed to get going and needed a spark there and, you know, guys converted and then, you know, we're able to, like you said, go on and lead that to points. That's the most important thing, whether you know, fake a pun or you'd go for it on fourth down and you convert it. You know, you gotta finish it off. In the last month, 3.5 yards of carry, 5.4 a catch, you kind of assess where he is right now compared to where he's been when he's kind of brought more explosive play. Yeah, I think that's just probably based on opportunity. We gotta, you know, continue to find ways to get him some opportunities and then, you know, it's 3rd and 12 late in the game. We try to flip a screen out to him, just, you know, take care of the football and, you know, 3rd and 5th, we're going to try to win the game. I think 3rd and 12, we're just trying to make sure that, you know, somebody doesn't, you know. So again, I think a lot of that's opportunity. So, you know, break the tackle there on the corner and get some yards. And we just, I think it's just about opportunity. He might tell him to get down, take a knee on that spike at the end of the half or is that just, is that how he's coached or that his instinct is to kind of... Yeah, just stop. You know what I mean? You're going to be off the line of scrimmage and, you know, save your legs and not worry about running down there. You're legal. Just, you know, again, I thought that was very well executed. I'm, you know, excited that we were able to put that on tape and for everybody, for the defense to get a stop, for us to go down there offensively and get the ball out of bounds and, you know, they took, they called timeout, changed the defense. You know, we were able to get Nick down to the 35. Everybody was running. Brew got the ball, got the spot. You know, Taje just figured might as well just stop and be legal and not worry about anything else. So, I thought that was a very impressive play. Mike, there's nothing better than game reps for rookies. How do you feel like Will's done so far through five weeks in regards to taking what he learned from one Sunday into the following week? Well, I think he continues to improve. I think there's some snaps. I think we, you know, decisions and being able to see some things that come open or pop. But I felt like, you know, I mean, early in the game, pretty efficient and, you know, got the ball out of his hand and, you know, found some matchups that he liked. I thought that, you know, got us going early there with Hop and, you know, the patients there to wait him out and the accuracy. You know, just making sure that we're not putting the ball in harm's way. You know, a couple of layered throws. I'd like to see a better, you know, better football to Taj. You know, we can't leave that much air underneath it and put him in harm and put the ball in harm. Can you talk about complementary football? Ryan still has said it at the record last year, but has he been consistently better this year with where he places the ball and specifically kind of a short yardage inside the tent? I think his ability to mix it up, I think he's worked on more pitches, you know, some different pitches. High with some spin, you know, hook, directional, you know, and then when he's got to, you know, bring a driver out and bang it, you know, he's got that still in his bag. So, you know, I thought special teams was a little closer to what we expect. It wasn't perfect. That was a good unit. You know, they were averaging 34 yards of kickoff return. We know late in the season the ball's going to be in play. So that was something that was a focal point. You know, we were pretty good on our punt coverage. I was excited about the return that we had, unfortunately. You know, AK just got a little, you know, I mean, obviously supposed to stay on that, you know, upfield shoulder and the guy 42 kind of crossed his face and we tugged him, but, you know, it would have been cool to have that return. You know, we thought we had a little bit more space. We had had the one kickoff return, but, you know, the other one, we just, you know, weren't quite good enough. I just, I thought special teams-wise, that was more along the lines of what we were looking like covering kickoffs for most of the day. Five penalties in the secondary yesterday. Were you seeing common threads? Is it more of a technique thing that you're seeing or how do you evaluate that? You can't grab the guy or, you know, I mean at the top of the route and grab him. There was some good examples of guys being square, but you also, you know, you can't grab him. And, you know, whether we think they are or not, they see it, you know, thought probably one out of those would probably, I disagreed with, but that's how it goes. Was that the Fulton one? What's that? Was that the Fulton one? No, probably the one SMB went on, Dylan, but two-step process. I don't know if he looked back and saw the ball get thrown over here, I'm not sure. You guys can take care of that. Which the Fulton one, no, he was there hugging the tight end. If you can take care of business with the Colts this weekend, do you feel like that gets you back in the fight or is it still too early to say that? Yeah, we're looking to fight every week. I just, that's, you know, I don't, I think for us to look that far in advance, it doesn't, you know, we got to focus on this week. We got to focus on health here, recovery, improvement, you know, these little details, these techniques that I know that we can be better at, that we have to. You feel like you can put the same offensive line on the field for two weeks in a row after this week? And how much of an advancement is that for you guys to be able to do that? You know, again, I haven't met with Todd. I just, you know, guys, you know, going for different tests, seeing the doctors, and, you know, and we'll have eight guys ready to go, ready to execute the game plan, and we'll see where that is, you know, moving forward. You know, you regularly compliment D'Nico. You impressed how he just continues to just... Yeah, a lot of pride, I get a lot of respect for D'Nico. I just, you know, his ascension from a college player to undrafted and, you know, being, you know, going to Indy and then coming here and really maintaining that level of performance. You know, got a lot of respect for him. It means a lot to him. So, enjoy coaching him, enjoy being around him, and, you know, certainly factored yesterday. It was a large part of our, you know, performance. How's the inside linebacker rotation there with Gibbons and Rice? How's that? Is that predetermined which guys are going to play which series, or is it just kind of a feel thing as you go through the game? I mean, I think it's trying to be predetermined and give them, you know, a couple of series, each half, whether that be for Gibby or Aziz and kind of rotate through and, you know, then kind of see where it goes. I don't know what the word is. Frustrating, I guess first three drives, second half you start off with kind of a big chunk play and we're unable to capitalize on it. Frustrating, disappointing, I guess, there. Yeah, we just have to, you know, some of them are penalties, some of them are just... mistakes or, you know, whether we, you know, don't get a guy blocked or... Yeah, I mean, that's what's frustrating. You hit a 20-some yard gain, hit a 15-yarder and then, you know, third and three fall start or just, you know, don't have very effective plays following that up. Like, it's got to be, okay, on to the next one, let's get into a drive, let's get into a rhythm, great drive starter. And then just not stall. Don't worry about one week at a time, but how much can you point to, I guess, last year and how much the division changed from this point kind of on to show your guys that there is still a lot of football in front of you and a lot of things that can change? Yeah, I think there's probably some of that, you know, but we also got to sit there and you got to ride, you know, I mean, we got to ride our horse and we got to stay focused on us and just winning. And then that kind of takes care of everything else and the motivation should be high to win and continue to improve. Did you get the chance to talk to Frank much yesterday? I know you probably hate it anytime a head coach loses a job but just kind of an example of, so you need to win in this league to keep your job? Yeah, I talked to Frank, you know, I've known Frank for a few years, got a lot of respect for him. You know, I think every situation is different. I don't know, you know, why the decision was made. They made a decision, but, you know, a lot of respect for Frank who he is as a person and who he is as a football coach and, you know, it's, you know, we know what we signed up for. Middle Tennessee, we've gone from Greek stocks though today after 18 years. I know he's been around here a bunch with KBs. Is he a guy you got to know well at all? Just a little bit, you know, just those coaches around the area, you know, that come for OTAs and, you know, visit with us and, you know, it's made quite a impact here in Middle Tennessee and coaching football. So, you know, hopefully, you know, we'll see him more going forward and based on where he goes on his next job but it's always welcome here to come and watch practice. Wasn't Nick and Arden, when they were up here, use the exact phrase, we owe them meaning the colts for them? Is that just kind of a consensus within the locker room? Was that a message you gave them yesterday or this morning? And can you tap into that at all this week as you prepare? No, I don't think I can remember saying that we owe them. I mean, we have to come back and win a game in a division at home in Indy, you know, against Indy. So, yeah, I mean, I don't see there being anything owed. Like, they beat us. We didn't make enough plays. They, you know, played better than we did that day. And, you know, there'll be some things that we'll have to fix. And I'm confident that, you know, we'll be ready and we'll be prepared and we'll play hard. And protocol. Are you hopeful that he can take another step in getting back on his feet? I'm hopeful for a lot of things, Jim, but I'll just wait, you know, and see whenever the player in this particular case trailing clears the protocol, then we'll practice with him. No different than if that was anybody else or hopeful that we get all our players back that aren't playing right now. So whatever that is, that's what it'll be. And that's all I can say just because of that's how you're supposed to operate within the protocol. Sean, come out of it. All right. Oh, yeah, I would, I would again, I want to reserve the full diagnosis until I've had a chance to talk to Todd, but everything coming out of that game last night or yesterday afternoon was positive as far as how he was able to make it through. Notice, notice you chatting with Trace Atkins before the game. You spent much time around him. You realize that big and you think he's a football fan? Well, I know he's a football fan. He is, he's a good man. Had a chance to meet him before. Good old deep voice. And yeah, he's a he's a lunch pail guy. So I didn't even dawn on me that he was singing the national anthem until I walked out there. So had a chance to catch up with him.
