 Michael. Hey Arthur, how are you? Good, you? I'm all right. I want to start out here. Do you feel like, I guess, the last two weeks you've gone a little bit more play action? Certainly last week, or yesterday, a little bit more play action. Is that, how much of that is just play design versus you trying to maybe get Matt a little bit more time, try to protect him a little bit based off of how the offensive line has been playing? Well, I think what you've seen, Michael, when you don't become one dimensional and you can keep them off balance, it opens up a lot of different things that you could do. Certainly when you're playing a really good front four, which San Fran, but they are, they've got a lot of good players up there and you're trying to mitigate your risk, not just sitting in the same spot, a pocket. That's most weeks, but certainly when you're playing some of the pass rushers like they have. So it all goes into it and it also depends on the covers you're seeing behind it and the way you try to manipulate the underneath. We had our chances. They made more plays than we did up front. That really was the difference in the game. When it came to Marla Davidson, what went to the decision to make him in? That was non-COVID illness. He tried to go and that's what it was. Okay, thanks. And it happened Saturday night. So that's why, so delighted you're on here. It wasn't an injury report thing. So I won't get into much of his personal deal, but that's what it was. Jeff. Arthur, I know you just went up against a really good defensive line, but I'm just wondering your offensive line. How far is it from where it needs to be in terms of both cohesion and physicality in your mind? Yeah, Jeff, that's a good question. Certainly we had felt the last couple of weeks we had been playing better. I'd argue Carolina's got a pretty physical defense and I think they were second league at the time we played them. I thought we went up there and played pretty well, especially up front. It was kind of the polar opposite this week. You look at going up to Carolina, I thought we played really well in both sides of the line scrimmage. We went out to San Francisco or Santa Clara and they got after us on both sides of the line scrimmage. So we made progress. Certainly yesterday wasn't what we wanted and we'll continue to work at it. We'll continue to look at every option on table, Jeff. Everything we're trying to do is trying to improve this football team, but they certainly won the game up front. In situations like that, obviously you can see what's going on in the game. How much is that impacting play calling? It impacts it. It certainly impacts on the right there when you're going to take a fourth and four down there instead of taking the field goal. You know where you're going to go and trying to play the long game there and we certainly had enough possessions left. Like I said, credit San Francisco. I didn't think they played better lines of scrimmage. We still had our shots. But when you come away with only 10 points in the red zone, one of five and that's the difference. And it wasn't like we were in all these third and longs down there. We got to do a better job. Certainly it's gotten us in New England. It happened. We came back and played better the next week. I certainly anticipate playing better this week in those situations. Thanks. Charles. I saw a stat for that said cordial Patterson was hit behind the line on seven of his 11 carries and this gets back to, I guess, what you're just referring to about the about the line play. But and in the play calling is that part of what went into the plan for cordial instead of trying to create space to make him a receiver more often that you had confidence going into the game that your line could create that space for him. Well, certainly Charles. I mean, we we use CP all over the place. When he's back there running back at, you know, whether you had Eric Dickerson or Walter paid back there and getting hit in the backfield, maybe Barry Sanders can make three guys miss back there. That's his state. Yeah, he's there. So we use them all in place. He does a good job for us as a game built, you know, it's it's one thing after another. I mean, that's where the game came down to inside on a lot of scrimmage and credit to them. They had to say, and you know, we've been we felt we've been playing better. You know, that's a consistency you got to bring in the NFL. That's why you see all of these crazy scores weekend and week out. It's the hardest thing to do. You know, it's hard to sustain that level of play, but I have all the confidence in our guys that will bounce back this week, but they did it. They did a nice job of front sand friend it on both sides. And looking ahead to this week, you know, as you as you're trying to build this team and just can you just talk about the need to get a win at home and and to and to start that that path. For multiple reasons, I always say each game is its own entity. There are certain things you've tried to build off week to week, but certain things come up situationally match ups change week to week. And, you know, these are the easy narratives and the reality is we're over five a season at home. Charles and a couple games that, you know, you know, we had a chance that we didn't close it out. Other ones, you know, didn't do a well enough job. So, yeah, I mean, like I said, you those things can snowball on you and we got to do something to change that narrative. Certainly. But we the most important thing whether we're playing in Atlanta, Detroit, Barcelona, Cabo, we got to get ready to play a good team and then go out there and execute and play better up front. Mark. You're muted, Mark. I'm sorry. I'm okay. Thank you. Okay. Michael any follows. Yeah. Sorry. I mean, where was I sorry, basically when I just blanked out for a second, skip me and Michael. Jeff, anything. All right, let's Charles. Let's see anything. We're back to you, Michael. Anything else on the intro? I'll fill in for delete anything else on the entry from yesterday. We're still waiting on some MRIs, Charles. So with sharp, you know, I know he didn't finish the game and that was announced and so we're just waiting. I'm not trying to be evasive. I don't I don't jump to conclusions medically, no matter how many medical advice I've read online on social media. I don't think I'm a doctor. So I usually wait until we get him in MRI machines. All right, I'm better now. I don't really know what happened there. That was just taking time out and regroup. Let's go. I know. This is more looking toward this week. Obviously, you weren't here in the past, but when two teams play and they have kind of last second endings over and over again, I don't know if you've been in a situation where you experienced that before. Can that manifest itself where things in the past can kind of come to the present in that sort of situation? These last three back as lions games have all literally ended on the last play with fairly odd situations. You know, I was, it's funny because it really shouldn't matter. But sometimes I just go back to like 2010 a year. I worked at Ole Miss and for a long time it was Ole Miss LSU games in regards to the record role always came down to something crazy. And certainly we weren't very good that year we go down there and sure as hell it came down to the end. You'd like to think it doesn't Michael but sometimes fate has a strange way. And we've certainly been in a lot of one possession games. We've done a better job in those. You know, we obviously need to get the lead and play better. That's what was frustrating yesterday too. You know, not taking advantage of a way to steal the possession and start the game. And so certainly Michael, you know, any way we can win the game, it's fine. We'll try to make it easier. We'd love to win and not cause the stress and anxiety everybody, but I guess it's reality here in the NFL. So like you said, it shouldn't necessarily matter, but when two teams haven't happened over and over, does that sometimes creep in your head? I don't have a great answer for you there. It really shouldn't matter if you're looking at like practically, but strange things happen. I don't know. I appreciate it. Thanks. All right. Thanks, Charles. Yeah, if I could just throw in one more. You obviously, you speaking of stress and anxiety, you saw the late week schedule changes that the NFL has had to make. And we've seen this in NBA and other sports and maybe obviously the NFL in general and the Falcons, you may feel like you're doing everything. You can already COVID-wise to take precautions, but have you guys felt the need based on the recent news to pop up and not any other changes this week? We'll just go by what the league feels is best, Charles. Shut all year to mitigate our risk as best as you can. I think you're, you know, we're whatever part of the pandemic we're in. You know, who knows where it goes from here, but I think what you're seeing is there's a lot of things that are out of people's control. So I think the next week around the world will be fascinating if you're looking at it from forget football. You know, I'm fascinated to see where this thing goes. I mean, vaccines are available, the boosters, but you're seeing this thing pick up and you hope it's at the end. But again, I'm not a epidemiologist or biologist or a medical expert. Thank you. Thank you. Anything else? Actually, I got one more. I want to go back to something you said to Jeff about, you know, how some of the line play impacts play calling. How much this year do you feel like it's taken away from what you would like to be able to do? I mean, I don't know. I mean, you're playing the situations. You're trying to try to get the best matchups you can. There's challenges every week. I'm not into rationalizing and making excuses. I deal with the reality is we try to build this and as you build a game plan and where you're trying to attack, you know, yesterday we know Boso was a terrific player and, you know, for the most part, I thought McGarry did a pretty good job. And then we got knocked off a spot and he's a tenacious rusher and he slithers back and gets a sack fumble. So, you know, makes a game changing play. And so you're sitting there and you're trying to think like, well, 90% of the time we got a pretty good. And then, you know, Armstead played an unbelievable game. And, you know, that so he's starting to affect it. And so you got to adapt as you go to series to series. But I don't. I just deal with the reality and current matchups and situations. I'm not sitting here saying, oh, I wish we could do this. There's a lot of things I wish we could do. That's every year. It's never going to be perfect. Appreciate it. Appreciate you guys. Thank you.
