 Just borrow all nine and see if I can remember. Well, let's just start with Russell Gage and having him back. And Sparky provided last game, how would you like to have Russell back in line up for you? Well, with our players, you know, you're going through the NFL season, you're going to have some weeks where, you know, I had a really good coach one time. Tell me that it's only 100% in the NFL as you're going to be dealing with injuries. And so what happens in our teams, we got a team with the right mindset, we're a zooning group and guys are going to be in out of line up all year. And just like in the rest of our players, if they're going to be active on game day, we have high expectations. And now, Miss Tackles, I've got 39, I don't know if that's higher level, 9%. Where are y'all at with Miss Tackles on defense? Well, I think like every team in the league, D-Led, we're always working to improve fundamentally. You know, those are things that add up to extra snaps, offensively ultimately to extra points. Same thing when you miss blocks, you know, usually bad things happen, quarterback may get rushed on decision. But those are fundamentals we're continuously trying to improve on to help us to help us play better as a team. And then secondary wise, can they get some more help with what's the, you know, I don't go together, but would y'all like to see more pressure from the up front group of kids on sacks and everything that entails and upgrade if you want to get your turn over there? Sure. You know, I think it's been a pretty spirited debate recently. You know, people that, you know, there's people that die on the hill, that sacks, they're the only number. And you know, some people bind to that narrative and that's why guys get paid certain numbers. There's other defenders in this league that can really affect the quarterback putting pressure internally on the pocket or making them step up or helping them get off the first read. And there are some teams that are really good at design and they have coordinated rush and there's a lot of ways to affect the passer. I know stats get a lot of the glory. And you know, it depends what side of the argument you subscribe to. But we have got multiple guys that we feel that can affect the quarterbacks with different schemes, different rush plans. And certainly you brought up Grady. And just because he doesn't have a high sack number, the guy really affects, he can affect the cue. So different ways to do it. We're always looking, D-Led, find different ways to affect the quarterback. I think most of our players are rostering unique, not one. I've never worked with a guy. That's why I don't get in comparisons. Maybe it's just a personal thing. I certainly didn't want to be stereotyped and I don't stereotype other people and I don't live in these notions of right on the surface fixed narratives that, oh, okay, this guy, well, he went to Alabama, he's probably going to be like this. Or he's from South Florida, he's probably going to be like this. Or whatever stupid narrative people put on people. But with a guy like Red, like a lot of our players, he's just unique. He's a good football player. He knows how to set people up at the top of their routes. And he's got his own unique style doing it. Everybody's body's a little bit different, too. Like I said, I mean, when you get into, you know, we don't, you know, I've been with players, you know, I've had coaches say, hey, they can't do this because I had a guy that could run around like this. There's different ways to get open. This is my experience. I thought Delaney Walker was one of the better tight ends about getting open, especially the top. And he had his own flavor. So he wasn't like a lot of other guys. You watch around the league and he's certainly different than Kyle Pitts. He runs routes, or Hayden Hurst runs routes, or how John Smith was, you know, these different guys I've worked with. So at the end of the day, what makes Calvin unique is he's his own player, and he's very crafty, really at the top. What is it that he does at the top that makes? He knows how to set people up, and he has a different body control that other people don't have. So again, I wish I could sit there and say, hey, there's a really good drill that we ran for this. I mean, Calvin's a good football player. Is that something that can't be taught, or is that literally you? So I mean, you work, yeah, there's certain skills that you can, it takes a lot of reps. And there's certain things, like I always said, you know, I wish I could have jumped and dunked like Vince Carter. And you know, it wouldn't matter if I had bought one of those shoes that tried to sell people back in the 90s. This Joe Arman is good. Yeah, yeah, so I didn't do it, but because I wasn't dumb enough to believe that if I walked on that, that all of a sudden my vertical was gonna go 15 more inches. So that's the best way I can answer that question for you. All right, well, that was my guy, Vince Carter, or another Dario, but I wish I could have dunked like that. Misunderstanding. Oh, gosh. We're all good to, I mean, I'm guilty of having hot takes myself, so nobody's immune to it. I don't know, that's a good question. I should, I have to think about that one a little bit. I'll come back to it, I'll start with that next. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I mean, it just depends. I guess, you know, God, I mean, you don't mind society or in football. I think an NFL is probably the week to week. I mean, you see it every year and it can't be, you need content and you need, you know, it's a great thing that so many people are interested in the sport and in the game and in games. And it's probably the week to week, you know, couple of things break you away or, you know, you have production here and it's like, okay, this is how it's gonna be now from now on. This guy's, you know, it can't stop him here. And that's kind of false. I mean, you know, next week may be a completely different matchup, a different scheme, whatnot. So the week to week narratives are comical. I'm just saying, no, I mean, if you start out 3-0, they're gonna be super old champs. They've lost 4-0, the sky is falling. Where do you kind of see them? They play some tight games. Just like a lot of teams, you're right in the mix in the NFL. I said there's still a lot of football left to play. I know this, they're one and all in our division. We're all in one. It's a big divisional game at home. Things can change. Like I said, you go through the roller coasters of it. You know, you lose a game. You know, people, you know, if you let it affect it, you feel like the worst team in the league. And if you win a game, if you listen to the BS there, you think you really accomplished something. You're right in the middle of it. You know, they're one and all in the division. We're all in one. And all that matters Sunday is we gotta be ready to go. So I'm sure they're feeling like if they can get this one, they'll be in a pretty good spot. Pretty much exactly what y'all naughty would be kind of again. But what are some things about him that you've learned that you can only learn kind of seeing someone play a live game? Yeah, I think, like I said, I think he's part of the reason, you know, we're fortunate and a lot of it comes. I mean, you look at the history of the drafts. Sometimes things fall your way, you know, and then just kind of the perfect storm there. So, but the one of the things that you think and the reason I said, well, he improves is there's a lot of things that you can be a really talented player in college and you can get away with certain habits and you just so much damn better than everybody else. And then you get here and there's so many little details and nuances and you see the, him paying attention to his release, you know, at the last scrimmage, you know, you're just not gonna run by, but there's a lot of guys that are fastest league. And so his ability to absorb that information and to improve the rate that he has, you'd like to see it going. I mean, it's not all gonna be, like I said, now you know, talk about this right back in training camp. You hope to keep improving. It doesn't always have to be stats where he can affect the game. And what he can't buy into also this narrative, if, you know, doesn't have a really huge statistical game because they decide, some team decides to take him away and we're very successful, eventually another way, it's not a failure. And I think that's what people, like I said, when you ride the roller coaster week to week, you gotta take the total picture, the impact he has on the game. So, you know, none of them may make some fantasy football owners mad, but it is what it is. But his ability to absorb correction, to process things, and hopefully it takes no step. He's a big man, he's explosive, so that's what I see. Yeah, that's what it is. It's been a couple of weeks since he asked me some online questions. Sorry, no online questions, I haven't been to the sport. Little smartest guy on the field, man. They are. How does it, oh, potentially parents, like two different quarterbacks, you know, San Antonio got a bench, but that's when PD Warp comes in. Like, how did that work, did I adjust from a scheme staying for him? Well, it's every week you gotta, you gotta have a plan. Like, I mean, shame on you, if you don't have a plan for a backup quarterback. I gave that analogy on Monday, and it's a good question. So, but that's every week, you know, you're always one play away. I mean, you would, you got it, because they can be completely different players and game plans can change. I use analogy, we had a certain game plan when I was in Washington and we played Steelers in 2008. We had a certain Rush plan for Ben Robson, who's a Hall of Fame type player. Well, he has to come out of the game and they go to a different plan and we had a plan for Leftwich, but it did alter our Rush plan and a couple calls and he came in and lit us up. But it's not saying he didn't, but I'm just giving an analogy there, but like most teams are aware and you always gotta have a plan whoever the backup quarterback is, because it can happen in a hurry. You talk about training camp about kind of like feeding, calpis, information, bits and pieces at a time, instead of trying to throw a whole bunch of stuff at him and you talk about how he's been absorbed with that information and he's, you know, the production is kind of starting to match up with that. Do you still kind of like, have to kind of like continue to feed himself or is it a matter of like, all right, let's continue to work with what you've been doing to be successful at? Well, how do you kind of like gauge that? The same way I gauge every player on this roster and I start myself, how do I get better? I mean, if you stop, if he's all of a sudden to think you have one or two good games and you've arrived, shame on you. Same thing with the coach and that's hubris right there. But all of a sudden you think you got all the answers. It's legal humble you and a heartbeat. So that's why I'm so big on being objective and critically thinking and taking a super-minded approach. Hey, what can I do to build off of that? I mean, sorry to skip my language. I mean, if you stop thinking, you stop growing, you might as well just die. I mean, that's how I look at it. So nobody's ever got all the answers if you think that shame on you. Well, Jake is one of those guys that you don't talk about very much, but he seems like he's just been such a steady presence. How vital is that to have a vet who can just be there? You don't, that you can just count on him. Right. Yeah, and so that's kind of his personality. I was fortunate enough to work with Jake's dad in Tennessee, Bruce, one of my all-time favorite people, and certainly one of my all-time favorite players, growing up as an offensive lineman. It's ironic I got to work with him, both him and Russ Krim, there was two of my favorite players growing up, but Jake's a really smart player, dependable, you know, traditional offensive lineman. The guys that, you don't want to be talking about him because he just does his job and he's having a really good season. When guys get to a certain point, it seems like they're talking a lot about their leadership, but just his physical performance on the field, I mean, he still seems to be at the top of his game. Yeah, like I said, I mean he's not even towards the, close to his dad's 19 years, but hell, Jake's playing really solid football and he has for a long time. And, you know, that's why I think leadership comes in all styles and styles. Jake, who is he is, I think, you know, he is a leader on his football team, he does it his own way, and part of it is consistency, how he shows up, he's the same guy every day, and I got a lot of appreciation for Jake Matthews. See, that's what happens, we sit next to the lead to him. No, it's Osmosis, maybe good, maybe not, happy to talk to you. Who's your favorite offensive lineman growing up? You just said that you... Oh, so that's like, tell me, you ask me, like, who's my favorite sibling? Because I work with both Bruce and Russ. I mean, so, you know, you can't pick a favorite. You know, I feel like, you know, I'm trying to ask me who my favorite kid is. So, our favorite sibling, I'm not gonna do that. I got a, there's a lot of linemen that I, you know, I looked up to, those were obviously two of them. So, I mean, gosh, you know, Domado Orlando Pace, I mean, there's so many good players and I was never obviously the skill in size, but there's, it's such a unique position. And those are usually the most fun guys on the team to be around traditionally year in, year out. That hasn't changed, probably since the history of the league. What's the most important trait for a back to quarterback? Yeah, it's a, again, that's a, it's playing quarterback stuff. And that's why they're compensated, the good ones are compensated the way they are. It's that you don't get a ton of reps during the week. You know, it's not college football where you've got 110 guys go out there and practice and you can, you know, do a bunch of split field work and get them all their reps. So it's limited to reps and there's a kind of two phase, you know, those guys take a lot of your carted reps which are going to be the other team's offense and then they got to study and they got to work as hard as a starter to be mentally ready to go because you really are, you know, one play away. So it's a mental discipline that'll get your work in, especially how you're studying the plan, be able to operate the other teams, show team, not many teams carrying three if they do, you know, but there's just a lot that goes into it. It's a very, very important job. And Coach, as you prepare for the Panthers this week, where are some of the challenges that you see from their offense and their defense? Really, all three phases. They got a really good front. They got two edge guys that can really get out from the quarterback, then interior, you know, Brown and Jones in there, you know, Dayquan, well, he's a powerful player inside. Probably going to get Shaq Thompson back. Carter, they're very active defense. It's a very physical defense. They play with a lot of speed. And, you know, they played multiple guys on the back end. They've obviously made the trades. Everybody's given a lot of attention to Henderson. I'm sure it will suit Gilmore. They're a really good fast physical football team. And offensively, you know, they played a lot of different linemen like most teams in this league. You got to deal with something this time of year. The quarterback, he can make plays. He can hurt you. He's tough in the pocket. He can extend plays. He's got a live arm. Receiver's a big, you know, more Anderson. So we got to work it out really, you know, they're two tight ends. Thomas Trembl, they're doing a really good job for him. And then so they present problems everywhere. They got a good team. I like their special teams. They've already blocked the punt, blocked the punt versus Minnesota. So it's a challenge. They do some unique things. I think they have a really good scheme, especially teams-wise, and like I said, Matt Ruhl is the hell of a coach. He's got to be ready to play. And you can see how they're building that thing. And they got good players. Yeah, coach, what's the, last week at Renovak, was that a switch or a matchup situation where Patterson got most of the carries? Well, one and a ton of call and runs was kind of the way the game went. So that's kind of how that happened. Some of it's by personnel packages, some of it's planned, and then a lot of some of it's the flow of the game. So it's going to change week to week, except we don't put a fixed number on there. There's different ways to move the football and to be smart about it. So, you know, like I said, you love to be, if you're normally, if you're in the 30 plus carries, you're probably winning. Like I said, there's obviously other ways to win, but that's kind of what it came down to. There's nothing that, I feel very confident, both those guys and Wayne Gaulman running the football force, but this is just kind of the way the game went. And how are y'all prepared for if Steven Gilmore's gonna play or not? I know they're saying he's close, but they haven't played yet. Same way, you gotta prepare every week. Guy's coming back off injury, no different than Jack Thompson. You know, Gilmore's a hell of a player. Maybe he's out there. Just another good player. They've added to that defense. You gotta account for, you know, familiar with him. They went against him in 18 and 19. And when he's going, he's as good as there is at corner. So he's healthy. I'm sure they'll put him out there. Everybody loves the cornerback who's gonna stick to it and make tackles. Is there anything AJ can do different, so valuable in coverage when he's making those tackles to keep himself in games? He's knocking himself out of the double here? He hasn't done that. So AJ's a good player. I think that's a misconception. So different issues you're dealing with. I wouldn't take it on the surface. I'm not the medical expert, but with all our guys, we teach to safe tackling. So unless you're gonna tell the guy just to bail in place, kind of to invert and play him in a deep half or deep third, what you wanna say, and tell him get out of the mix, every player on defense gonna have to come up and tackle. And that's not just him. That's in any position there. So we teach safe tackling. That's a big emphasis in football from the NFL on down. I said, there's nothing that he's doing that's reckless. So that's not true. He hasn't been knocked out of games, but there are different issues. And that happens with a lot of different players. Charles. Coach, what is some of the, defense has to deal with like a 12 person that like, what is some of the problem that 12 person presents with like falls in defense? Depends on what 12 person you put on there. You know, it's the same thing I used to think about when people were on the analytic wave of the three point shoot in the NBA. You put like Curry and you got Dream on green. You got Kevin Durant and you got Clay Thompson, firing threes, looks pretty damn good. And if I was out there, Ambassador out there, probably wouldn't look the same. We get you to high volume of the three. Same thing to get to the tight ends. Depends on what tight end you put out there. What are their skillset? So if you put two guys that are more rumb blockers, you know, it's just a different kind of matchup. So it just depends on the player. I said you're getting a lot of hybrid defenders and offensive players and if you got guys that can play multiple roles and actually legitimately you can run behind, okay? That makes you a little more, to me, unpredictable offensively, so it just depends on the player. And you can line them up everywhere if they can legitimately play a receiver. Do you believe in the concept of a shut down corner? Are there guys that you have said to yourself as a play collar, I'm just not going there? Yeah, I mean, there's some guys when they're rolling that depends on the scheme. You know, I go back to when I was looking at a lot of the Jets defense, you know, late 2000s early, I mean, Doral Rivas was kind of mighty, he was good. But schematically how they did it and they matched them up, man, a lot of times that's a little bit of a, depends on the scheme. Yeah, there's certain corners that, yeah, if they're rolling, you try to stay away from them. But if they're asking, man, some of them times it's zone, like you look at some of these stats, like, hey, this guy had been, there's so much nuance in football, put it that way. If you're going man to man one-on-one, matchup, that's the best way to evaluate can this guy cover man to man, truly take somebody away. Sometimes the coverage just dictates that thing. Whether the guy's on lead corner or not, they call cover two and they clout over there and they got an outside route, probably converse, the ball's not going over anyways. So they can hype up some Instagram stats that, oh yeah, he's been talking, I mean, whatever. You know, hasn't been whatever. It's hard, it's hard. And I'm not afraid that there's so many variables that go into it. The best way to probably look at it is if he's man to man and see what he does. Is it easier when you see how he used to do a Sherman or can you just be able one side? Is it easier to try and do that when you know this guy's going to be left side or right side versus if they're moving around a little bit? Depends on what you're looking for, it depends on the scheme. So that's probably the best way I could put it. There's a lot of good corners in this league. You're going to have a problem every week. There's going to be good players out there. I got a lot of respect for those guys. It's a tough position to play. And you've got to have the right mindset to play it. Because when you get beat, everybody knows about it. No different than the long snapper. So there's something bad happens, everybody in the stadium is going to know. And so you've got to have the right mindset and there's a lot of good corners in this league. Did you see the zone that accepted you're over? Yeah, wait for Terry to bring him in here. So we're working on that right now. Thank you all.
