 All right. Hey, coach, with the additions to the COVID list, what are your plans to get the backups ready just in case you don't get some of those guys back? What every week we'll coach the entire roster. Everybody's got to be ready to go every Sunday. That hasn't changed. We'll deal with whatever obstacles thrown away and where guys have the right mindset. Are you optimistic that you will get some of your players back? We'll have a chance, but there, you know, we'll deal with whatever realities they present to us. And you take a case by case. It's not going to be one size fits all. Obviously, everybody that's wasn't hibernating the last 48 hours know that CDC changed their their protocols. The league updated theirs. It's everything is, you know, as everything in life, you got to be able to adapt. So there's optimism that we can get some guys back. But again, it's case by case. And today for a was announced as the player of the week. You talk about his play and that him receiving that honor. Well, I think it shows what kind of season he's had and the impact he's had on a lot of football games for us. And certainly when you win and team plays well, individual accolades usually follow and he's a great teammate. And it takes a team to go out there and win and the function as a defense employee, you know, he's he run the show back there. So it's a good job by him. Thank you. Thank you. Josh. Arthur, you mentioned Jalen Mayfield playing almost every snap as a rookie. What sort of progress has he made and what's maybe the next step for him as you begin to think about his second year. Sure. Yeah. You know, I think a week after a week, he's gotten better. Certainly some weeks present, you know, maybe maybe some more difficult matchups for him. But I think he's handled it. I think it's a tough job for a rookie to go in there and start on the offensive line. And he's been consistent like a lot of things and a lot of players and certainly rookies. There's there's there's areas to improve and certainly plays. I'm sure he wish he had back. But if you look at the whole body of work, he's played recently well. I think he's got still he's a young guy and he would think he would have a pretty good jump in year two. Is that the general track for offensive linemen? Is there a general track for offensive line development that you feel like, you know, they hit their stride or they should be hitting their stride in year two or year three? Or at what point? I think certainly in any job, you know, the more reps you get, the better off you should be. I think history normally proves that. What excites me with the guys like Jaylin and Kyle is they are young. I mean, a lot of times I think when you take guys that may be a fifth year senior coming into the league at 24-25, they may not have a big of a jump. You know, there's certainly all his exceptions to that, Josh, but obviously very optimistic with the guy like Jaylin that he can continue to improve. And to grow. Thanks. Michael. Hey, Arthur. Are there any more additions to the COVID list for you guys today? Still working through that, Michael. I think the one thing that there's so much misinformation out there about it. So, you know, the timing of seeing it's not a, again, I just deal with what, you know, the NFL, the protocols that, you know, they provide for us. So guys can get tested at any point. So a lot of times when guys, you know, they may feel, you know, they need to get tested and they should. And that's their, so it may not, it's not like you're going to have like everybody has to test by 6.30 a.m. or 7.00 a.m. So those are still coming in, Mike. And I'm basically I'll update you as soon as we have it confirmed. I just have a hard time when I put somebody's information out there. We don't have it confirmed. Sure. As far as quarterbacks go, how do you, are you, let me refer to, are you doing anything different to try and kind of make sure, do everything you kind of kind of make sure that Matt stays off with that list? Are you guys changing anything in terms of what you do during the week with quarterbacks? Make sure even if you have one guy available. Well, so again, goes back to this. I know it's changing very rapidly. So last year, it was a huge deal because of the close contacts and no vaccinations available. Now it basically comes down to if somebody gets sick or they feel symptomatic and they want it. And that I think what you're realizing with this variant, again, I don't want to claim that I'm any kind of expert on this one, just, you know, reading, try to read real medical advice and not, you know, some partisan friends stuff on the internet. Clearly, we're dealing with a different variant and how contagious this is. We're certainly trying to mitigate our risk as best as possible. We've done that all year. I don't think anybody has the perfect solution right now. I think that's the one thing that's painfully obvious about the Omicron variant is that you can read stories, whatever, and they're trying to best they can with something that's severely contagious. Certainly we mitigate our risk. I'm sure most teams around the league are. And then sometimes there's, it's a virus that's pretty smart and there may be some inevitability to it. So you certainly try to protect yourself best you can at multiple spots. We'll do the same thing. I imagine that's most teams are doing that, Mike. And John Adam passed away yesterday. I'm curious what your memories are thoughts are about him, how he made it at all. He influenced you at all. Certainly I would think in my generation, you know, if you grew up and you love football and like sports, certainly my first experience in learning who John Madden was from the video games. And then, you know, you watching him impact summer all and that felt like a big game every time they announced it. I certainly never met John. He had a enormous impact on the National Football League and he'll be missed, but he had a half of an impact on the game. Appreciate it. Tori. Yeah, you're talking about the kind of the optimism of feeling like you can potentially get some guys back. I mean, with these new protocols and, you know, only having to have like the asymptomatic guys isolating for like five days. Is there any less of a worry now of getting guys back like feeling more optimistic as to how like the league and honestly society too is kind of handling these situations better than we have in the last two years. Yeah, there's definitely more optimism. But I don't think it's fair if somebody goes on that list the same day that no two cases may be the same, you know, somebody may be getting on the symptoms they have and, you know, how quickly they may not be symptomatic, they may have somebody that has symptoms and so you just got to take it case by case. But certainly you're way more optimistic than you were. Just kind of ironic that we're playing Buffalo, a different experience last year we were in Tennessee playing Buffalo and world was a different place. I think this virus has evolved, you know, the optimist and me is hoping that this slowly leaves us out of the pandemic. But maybe I'm just trying to be too optimistic here. But that's my hope. And kind of just talking about the game itself. I mean, we all know about this this Buffalo pass defense. I mean, what can you kind of say about this group and kind of what you've just seen in the initial planning for for this week? Yeah, this is a good program. You know, there's been good. They know what they're looking for. I think this shows they've had a good vision. With Sean McDermott ran and being their staffs, you know, I think this is what you're seeing with with competent leadership, the consistency here over here, what they're drafting for, you know, not dissimilar to what Terry and I hope to build here. You have a strategy, you have a philosophy, you have some consistency. There's not a lot of knee jerk reactions. And that's why they got a really good roster and they're really well coached. And they know what they're looking for. And they know what they're asked to do. I think they got two safeties that are really underrated the impact they have on most games and Poyer and Hyde. You know, we've gone against these guys. I should say we I'm familiar with them in the terms of coached against this group for a couple of years. And I have a ton of respect, ton of respect. There's a well built team top to bottom, special teams. The way they're doing line plays, they roll, they'll roll multiple guys in there. Edmunds and Milano are two good inside backers that are in the league. Talked about Poyer and Hyde, I don't think they get enough respect how good they are. There's a reason they're ranked in the top league and certainly the other side. You got an explosive offense. You got a great young quarterback that's tough, make every throw. And they've loaded up with guys that are core teams players. Cool. Thank you. Kelly. You mentioned your familiarity with them from your past. How much does that help you preparing this team that doesn't have as much maybe familiarity with the bills being an uncommon opponent for the Falcons? Just like every week, you try to educate, get familiar with the opponent. A lot of our guys haven't played them and I'm not going to be out there taking any snaps. So it's more important that they get familiar with this group. There's a healthy respect. But we're excited and it should be a fun atmosphere up in Buffalo. I'm sure the weather will be great and we'll be ready to roll. I was going to ask how the forecast maybe changes your game plan and what you've maybe seen in the past there. How you know that kind of goes. Yeah, I think, you know, it'll change every day. I know the lake effect that it can have coming off Lake Erie. You know, wake up Sunday, you look at the forecast, but just expect the unexpected and we'll control. We can control and certainly you got to make decisions, you know, based on the environment and the circumstances there. I know everybody saw what happened that New England game up there and the way the wind was blowing. But that happens and we'll have to adjust. But again, we're excited to tell us to go play wherever we're excited for the opportunity, whether it's snow, rain, sleep, sun, whatever, we'll be ready to roll. Do you have any follow-ups? Yes. Yeah, Coach, any news on the reports of deads, deads, kitchen, maybe going to Virginia, and then we need to get a readily update if there's one available. Okay, well, in terms of does, I think it's a credit to him and the staff that, you know, people are interested. And if he's got an opportunity, we'll talk about that in a season. But does is a fantastic football coach. You can just copy and paste my readily update from last week. Is that for good to go? Yeah, that clears my list out today. Yes, sir. Oh, come on. Well, they asked about the first year. We got four. Well, I do have something else. Seven games Matt Ryan hasn't passed for 700 yards. That's first time since 2010. I don't know what that's a product of. And so I'm trying to figure that out. But you know, we're asking you about is that just a formula? Is that the mix that you all have been getting that has led to, you know, maybe not getting the stats that we've seen him get in the past? So that's that again? Seven games without passing for 300 yards. Got 297 in Tampa Bay. But the last game was the Saints game. And, you know, I'll look at the records to there through over that stretch. But the last stretch was 2010, like his third year. You know, he's pretty regularly been been slinging it. What was the record in 2010? What was the record in 2010? They went to the playoffs last year. Giants think 11 and five. Yeah, so we're trying to focus on the lead is winning games. I think what you'll see here over here as you continue to build it, you know, some games you find different ways to win. I think when I think when you lose a lot of games and you're looking to sell optimism somewhere and sometimes your stats can be patented, you know, Like I said, that's where you get a lot of high volume, two minute yards and catches. Okay. I'm concerned with wins. And I think as we continue to improve your year, I think it naturally follows the better you are. Then it's kind of what the trajectory that happened in Tennessee, you're over here. And then you can sit there and say, oh, okay, look, you want to see a constant improvement. And that's what you'll see here. Ultimately, it's about winning. And that's what we focus on. So, but yeah, I mean, I've seen a lot of players and a lot of rationalization year over year when you don't win enough games. And you're looking for something to say, hey, look, we passed for 300 yards, but we lost by 21. That's how I feel about that. Okay. And also, you have a chance to join Jim Mora and Mike Smith as a coach to lead the team to the playoffs in their first year. Any thoughts on that? And Sean McDermott said that, you know, their first year up there, him and Brandon, it was about getting the people right and the people in place. How important was that for you and Terry, you know, and trying to, you know, start your first year out here? Yeah. It's really important you let in. That's what you're finding out. You know, we understand where we're trying to go short term and long term, continue to define the right guys here, the right culture. I would argue that we're, you know, we're beginning to learn how to win. It hasn't been perfect and we know there's a lot of work to do and they're continuing to do, continue to do. We're just glad we're still playing a meaningful game. It's a big game for us. Again, circumstances were completely different when, and I think Jim Mora and Mike Smith are terrific football coaches, but that's why all his comparisons are tough, completely different landscape. Those guys first year of the teams to what our circumstances were in 2021. It would be awesome if we could do that. But it won't matter. Nothing matters unless we find a way to go beat the Buffalo Bills up in Buffalo. Alright, thanks coach. Thank you. Josh. I'm good. Thank you. Michael. Yeah, do we want to ask something about Josh Allen? You guys face a lot of quarterbacks we can move this year. How is he different than maybe some of those other guys? And how does that maybe become more challenging or different to be challenged, I guess, than some of these guys you've played? He's a completely different player. Josh is the guy that can make every throw in the field. I mean, I mean, Dan could throw the ball out of the stadium. Like those guys you see in those YouTube trick videos, I mean, he's got make every throw. He's big. He's tough. You can tell his teammates love him. You know, I can see why they drafted him and why they, you know, built around him. He can extend plays. It's hard to tackle. So, you know, as long as he's back there, I imagine they feel pretty good about their chances week after week. But he'll be a challenge. There's different challenges. You know, it's not, he's not the same as some of the other running quarterbacks, but certainly he can run and he showed it on tape. I mean, one of the few guys that actually will go in there and they run some kind of quarterback gap schemes with him. And he'll go in between the tackles. That's different than other running quarterbacks. So we got to work cut off for us. But like I said, we're excited by the challenge. We will go out there and be ready to roll when they kick the ball off Sunday at 1. When he was coming out, did you anticipate this was going to be the type of player he was when y'all were evaluated quarterbacks back then? Or was that a different type of year for you guys as far as quarterbacks go back in Tennessee? Yeah, I mean, I saw him when I looked at one of the brothers Hollister believe is the year before he came out. So you could see the talent on the film. You know, I'm sure a lot of people like what happens when quarterbacks that are successful, people have a lot of revisionist history. I'm sure we'd go back and pull up the freezing cold takes from a lot of people. I think he's a good player. They've done a terrific job with them. And Josh has too. And the last thing as far as Tajik Sharpe goes, do you anticipate him being back this week? We'll just have to see. Mike, there's a lot of unknown. I know it's going to drive you crazy with the injury reports, but it is what it is. We're, like I said, different times and circumstances change every day. Thanks. Appreciate it. Don't worry. Yeah, just one more for me. I was actually watching Grady's mic'd up from this past Sunday. And he essentially he said at one point like, damn, y'all can't block anybody else. And there were like three guys on him. This is probably a question for Dean and I'll probably ask it of him tomorrow too. But how often are you actually seeing opposing offenses slide the protection to Grady just to account for who he is and what he can do? Yeah, I think he right now in the way we're constructed. And based on the way Grady plays and his reputation, I think people will account for him in protection. We also move around Tori a little bit too. But yeah, I mean, if you're playing us, you're certainly going to account for him in your protection schemes. Cool. Thank you. Miles? Oh, got you with the mute. There's usually two of them. Miles. I'm good on my end. Thank you. Oh, don't talk out of a question because of that. Now I feel like I'm back in 2020. Kelly, anything on your end? All right. Thanks guys. Thank y'all.
