 All right fire away Don't wait for the five questions at once Okay Well, you know, we'll still we'll get some work in tomorrow get the guys ready to go play Friday night Again, I can say we just we need to see these guys execute You know, we'll run our base stuff and let these guys go out in place and we get a fair evaluation But I feel pretty good about where we're at. I'm excited to see these guys play We kind of you know, it's really all of it. I mean, obviously you want a Lot of things how we're playing up front both sides of the line of scrimmage and in the kicking game Guys who cover, you know, we because that that's ultimately what it comes down to a lot of guys that are in that Middle part of the roster, you know, are they gonna be on the active? Are they gonna be up on game day? You got to help them fork down and so those will be critical downs watching in the cover game So special teams Yes, sir, that's huge because the guys, you know, whether you get receivers out there DB's Running backs guys that are outside could be gunners on the point team guys that can run down different spots on kickoff That's really valuable to us Yeah, first you anticipate playing Matt Ryan on Friday and guys like Reggie Jarrett or are you gonna stick We're gonna make that decision tomorrow. So Feel pretty good about what we're at some of those veterans and again, it's You know, we got to make roster moves after this game and the next one So you kind of sit in our way in the options and the risk reward certain guys We need to see so we can make sound decisions on next week I won't put a time frame on it I Said yesterday and follow up again today now the floor responded to your yeah, no Now Matt Matt's a great friend of mine You know, he obviously took him all night to think of something that he thought was funny, but Again, you know, who knows has got Daryl and him probably sat there and tried to think of something funny I'm sure it was a little little little lame, but When it's something with the hair, yeah, I'm great. I've been going great since 20 I said, I don't look like I got black shoe polish on my hair. So go figure But no, I love Matt before just joking He's one of my good friends in the business and he's done a hell of a job up in Green Bay I think he's what is he 26 and six in two years pretty damn good So it was just he's just joking around good friend. I talked to him this morning on the way in so Wishing the best up in Green Bay, but again, he did take him a day The two of you are close and are able to kind of go back and forth like this Yeah, it's trying to give you something Not really, you know that No, you're you're one. I mean just Didn't think of it. I mean, I know like most coaches in here. We all have dreams players coaches. It is cool It's good to see Good things happening to good people and what Matt's done up there, but not not in a moment No, we were just trying to get things done and and do a good job for the Titans and you know win football games. So Appreciate it about my time spent with him I know that it's just a preseason game But given the fact that you're you're gonna be facing so many guys that you've worked with for so long Yeah Obviously it was a regular season game. It'd be a little bit different right there'd be probably a million different narratives You could write between coaches and players and all the people the relationships on both sides Really looking forward to catching up with a lot of those guys, you know spent 10 years there Get to see all those guys, you know, Joey and Matt Haas in the equipment room guys I've worked with for a long time guys in their operation staff Brent Acres guys that you just you develop lifelong friendships with and then obviously the coaches you spend a lot of hours And there's a lot of good coaches over there. So it'd be good to see them pregame and when we kick off You know, we understand what we're trying to do both teams and try to Beat the crap out of each other and the best team win But we understand what it is it's preseason and we we got to get now I have a ton of respect for that program and we need to get fair evaluations on our guys to see we can make the best for all Decisions Yeah, it's a big part of it for me because we were just talking about when when D-Lev was asking about the special teams I mean, you know, we're not tackling live right now, you know, we'll be the first guys First time excuse me all these guys have tackled a long time and so I think you'll see around You know, you'll be you just hope where we're sound there. Not a lot of miss tackles. You just want to clean operation you don't want to see a million flags and But it's there's nothing that can replace that You know the quarterbacks going to feel pressure for the first time You actually get hit get tackled to the ground receivers some of the catches over the middle Little different consequences when you're you're able to get tackled. So it's just it's a great step to get us ready to go for the regular season Yeah, they do because When you put it in a new system and whether you know, it's the veterans and they've been around You know, they just go back and you know certain formations and certain plays they can have recall Okay, I called it here with this coach or whatever they can go back and some of these guys everything's formed to and you really want to Get them past the memorization part, you know, you break the huddle. It's a new language is what you're doing Whether your offense defense special teams you do you create different languages and football So you want to get it past the memorization parts they can line up and actually now start executing their technique and fundamentals how to win the rep and You know, there's gonna be a drill in see the guys I can handle it There's an adrenaline dump that your your body goes through You'll see the guys huffing and puffing two plays into it because there's nerves and that's normal And you want and then you want to see it can they rescue themselves Nobody's out there on them on the field. They got a rescues themselves. And so it is a huge part of the Evaluation process because it's it's the next step now to this point. We've tried to put them in much of those environments as we can and And they've handled it pretty well, but I'm sure you'll see guys will guys are gonna make pre snap Mistakes and won't be intentional and you just hope you get the guys that can minimize that and not repeat offenders Yeah, certain players and different life experiences, you know that you go through and that that's my probably my best analogy because You can't tell them what to do when they're out there. I mean they break the huddle There's a play clock and that's the thing about football where you know these guys I you know sometimes I think football players don't get enough credit how smart they are how quickly they got to make Decisions because the old adage and then obviously it is a physical game And there's a little bit of that old meathead or caveman aspect Or you're just gonna crush somebody and there's still aspect to it but a lot of critical thinking that goes and judgment and you got to make a decision and roll with it and It's just a lot of different things and my life experiences being around the game different things different sports whatever it is And that's kind of that's how I view it doesn't say I'm right. It's just how my mind works You know in the preseason, I guess the best way to put it I Know what they're about and they had a pretty good idea what we're about over here so there's a lot of mutual respect and It won't be a lot of trickery going on Friday night. I mean people can do what you want That's the beautiful thing about football you get to make decisions and how you want to attack this how we want to handle a Preseason that's fun. You got 32 different flavors, but it's a healthy respect and we know what both teams are about and That's why I'm glad that we're playing them in the preseason. So good. It's a good Evaluation for us because I know what we're up against I Don't give Kyle he's over there. Don't give Kyle any special treatment It's all the rookies, you know, we get sure we got expectations for all of them, but It's just keeping things in perspective. You know how they come along I mean, I think the other day or maybe it was last week. I can't remember the days are running together now I talked about keeping perspective You know, everybody wants for so quick to make snap judgments and label this and you get narratives car That's just not true, you know, whether it happens Friday night and guy has eight catches I've seen that our quarterback throws 350 yards. Well, they've been in soft too many They may have been down three possessions and you know, there's a lot of narrows being built But ultimately the story will be told, you know, the season's over and hopefully when these guys have long careers Yeah, well it it's all goes, you know, there's a lot of things that play into that Because that that is the reality of a game, right? You don't you don't have three deep not like college football You know, we got all those guys up on game day. So this guy's here. You got two backup left tackle What it is that you got to have a guy that can play both tackles Guy that can play both guards got I can play center. Maybe play guard or guy, you know, there's most valuable guys are You know, if you go these guys in the league that are back up sector for position guys that you feel comfortable God goes down. He can play guard. The guy goes down, you know, so you mix and match and that's just life in the NFL It's very rare. You get the same five every snap of the season. So it's huge being able to adapt Well, it's really all the rookies There's a there's a big adjustment and You know, they're gonna go through they're gonna struggle certain days. You want to see how they respond It's not gonna be perfect for them. It's a foreign environment. Obviously The competitions that everybody's pretty good in the NFL the guys that play on Sundays And you want to say they adapt and it's not overreacting keeping the big picture in sight And you want to make sure that they're improving and they're not they're not just all sudden They reach a point where you're getting diminishing returns and you got to look at it Player not handle this. We ask him to do too much But overall at this rookie class, I'm pleased but the rookies and they got a ways to go But it is a mature rookie class and I'm excited to see him play in the preseason Yeah, you got to give him credit and give his parents credit I mean, you know, we did all the work pre-draft with Kyle, you know, I He's certainly more mature than I was at 20 years old. I don't even turn 21 I think believe until we get to London. So go figure. I certainly wouldn't Have these expectations and this much responsibility at that age. I was running around Chapel Hill. So You got to give him credit. He is a mature kid He's not kids man. So Really Again, I think you've seen the last five or six seasons a lot of people a lot of the old narratives Hey, you know week three is the dress rehearsal. You've seen people do it a lot of different ways And I like that. There's a lot of creativity and ultimately We got to make the best decision for our team where we're at here one every factor Veterans what they need what they don't how do we make the right evaluation? So I think you'll see it'll be interesting around the league to see what every team does because everybody's got their own philosophy That's what makes this game fun and you get any spots And then once you make those decisions you got to roll with it because otherwise You can certainly second-guess yourself if you do play somebody and something happens and you're you know we've all seen that before but I Think that's a fun part of the job. Everybody gets to make decisions They think it's best for their team and it'll be interesting to watch because they're gonna be probably 32 different philosophies Where is he He's coming along and he's what it's a didn't he's he's right where he needs to be if that's the best way to answer, you know So With all the rookies and it's not Kyle and I know it gets a lot of attention because we put the fourth pick in the draft in but You know, we need you want every year to have multiple guys in your draft class and the guys that make up the heart of your roster You want to see how they progress and it's gonna be different I mean some guys that flash earlier doesn't matter where they get picked fifth round and get undrafted guy doesn't mean The second third or fourth round pick or first round pick is behind. It's just You got to keep perspective in it and with all those guys pretty pleased, but again, there's a lot of unknown So, you know, it's a it's a It'll be answered ultimately as the season plays out for He's been a guy who really since day one out here Ryan in different spots Well, it's all those guys we've mixed and match I don't care who's out there. You got to give him all a shot Certainly gets attention because he's so damn tall, but all those guys are all getting fair shots and again It's it's not just Kyle. It's the entire rookie class and I get it like he is the fourth pick but Very pleased with how the whole class is doing and again ultimately that those are Make that judgment at the end of the season. There'll be hot takes After you know week one the week two whatever it is. Let's see where it goes about the end of season Yeah, you know, I mean Willie's done a nice job playing the right tackle and then now you've got a So you look at it Friday night and we need to play him a left tackle now because it's not fair to jail And he's been getting run as a right tackle. We need to see Jalen play. So we'll see Jalen play right tackle We'll see some of left tackle and ultimately as McGarry gets worked back in there. We got to make a decision on the weekend Yeah, what's the best? What's the best for the team? You know, do you keep guys still fighting out and then springs will come back in the fold next week too. So But you know ultimately will he because he won the right tackle spot if he doesn't can he be our swing tackle And he's gonna have a hell of an opportunity and we're very happy with Willie's done so far Yes, we do yeah, and I'm not very pleased with where the competition is going and I'll be fired up to see Caleb Next week you come to Miami. Yeah. All right. What are you saying? I actually I won't put that on record I'm just curious if you're gonna be down in South Beach or you're gonna be near the facility. Okay, never know Okay Yeah, you might he might Yeah, how they operate you don't want to get him can they get the call in You know the way we may package certain certain plays or Operationally decision-making, you know, you hope to get some two-minute drives in the game see him operate that way situational football and You know good It'll be interesting because it's they're in different parts of a career like AJ's played in NFL games And you got to keep that perspective of Felipe like he's done a nice job And then but he is a rookie like he's there's gonna be struggles some of the mistakes But both those guys happy with they're at different points in a career and we'll we'll see hopefully After the next couple games where they're at. Yeah, thank you
