 Mike, the change in the schedule to two generation days, is that to help recover from the preseason and get ready for the offseason or for the next week? Or what was the reason for that? Probably just figuring out what's best for the football team and just trying to make sure that we're meeting, we're lifting, focusing on conditioning. We conditioned today. So next week is a long week. And the more I thought about it, I think that this is going to be best for our football team and then be able to take a few days off this weekend, come back Monday and really focus in and have a great week. But it's a long week and we have plenty of time and I feel like we're getting a lot out of the meetings in our preparation. And this is what I felt like was best for the football team. How good does it feel to be back here today? John said you had a big smile on your face. Yeah, this is home. This is what certainly we as coaches know. And this is what I love to do. And so it's great to be around everybody again. And you realize how much you miss it and how much you miss the interaction with the players and the staff and everybody. What ultimately ended up being the difference with the wide receiver group, given that Dez was one of the guys out and ended up back on the practice squad? I'm sure John addressed most of the personnel issues. I think just the same thing as it always goes from my standpoint is how much can they do? How many positions can they play? How do they perform? And special teams certainly is something whether they can return or whether they're two or three, even four-phase special teams guy. John talked about Makai and how he ran physically, how he covered on kickoff. In terms of pass protection, how do you feel about him right now and his progress there? Well, I don't think that would be predominantly his number one job. I think that that's something that will take time. I think he's willing. And he's shown that he's willing to stick it up in there and not shy away from the contact that's required. But I wouldn't say that that would be his predominantly number one role or job as it stood now. So I think that it's continuing to improve and that he's a willing blocker. Important to have Barkley be able to stick around and have an experienced guy like that for the practice squad. Well, Matt, I think it just gives us a lot of flexibility in what we're doing, some protection. John had, I think, maybe asked a question about having the third quarterback in what we may do at that position. Certainly liked Matt's demeanor and willingness to work, liked his arm talent. And so we'll keep working with him on the practice squad. What's this period like when a lot of guys maybe are still in limbo because you still have some moves to make and what are your messages to guys who maybe didn't make it and maybe those who didn't? I mean, I think the message is the same, that the roster will remain fluid as we work our way through the entire season, not just here in the first week. Anybody that's on the practice squad or anybody that's on the active roster should be ready to play if they're healthy and available. We've seen guys get called up on Friday or Saturday and make an impact in the football game and earn opportunities that way. So if they're here, they're expected to be ready to perform. Whether that happens every week, I'm not sure, but there's a lot of flexibility with the standard elevation and the call ups and things like that. The safety position, you guys kind of had guys in, had guys out, et cetera, you ended up keeping six. Is there anything in particular that you were searching for or any reason for keeping six as opposed to four or five, et cetera? Again, I think John probably handled most of the personnel conversations. The safety position is something where you're going to have to help us on special teams. I think you guys have seen, since we've been here and certainly that Kevin Byrd was a P.P. on the punt team for us while he started. But there's a lot of times where we play three safeties on the field. And I think that those guys have to do a lot. That's a versatile position where guys are down in a box. They're back in the middle part of the field. They're in the half and sometimes they're blitzing. So that's certainly an intriguing position throughout the league and I don't think we can have enough of them. You've got some flexibility now, obviously, with the nine guys still off on COVID. Do you anticipate the short-term I.R. still being something that might be in play for you before opening day? I think so. I think that that's something that we have. We'll have to see who's going to be available. And those are conversations that we have with Todd and John and myself on who's going to be available at what part of time of the season. And I think that those things are going to have to happen. I mean, some of those moves are going to have to happen. I don't know which one specifically, but you're going to have to make room for guys that are coming off of COVID. The move to cut Barclay, I guess he's confident that Ryan is returning almost immediately from COVID. And I guess, overall, are there other players too that are expected to return? I think we're hopeful that this will be a positive next few days for us in that regard. Is the Arizona game plan done at this point, or do you go through a typical week in terms of that sort of process next week then too? Well, it's not done. I mean, I think that we're focusing on bits and pieces of it, and it will be well ahead of where we would be on a normal week. But you only have a few pre-season games to go on. And obviously whatever they played last year, knowing that there's going to be different looks on all three phases. So I think you have to be careful doing too much early in the season. You have to go out there and let these guys let their base rules and fundamentals take over, sit there and say, hey, this is what you're going to get. Because I don't think anybody knows exactly what you're going to get. We can try to narrow it down for them and understand the concepts that they may see. But to say 100% or 90% like you're going to get this, there's just not enough evidence of that on film. So going back to the game plan, it's in. I wouldn't say it's entirely in. But we'll work our way through how much we give the players each day. We were bumping aside to three seconds. Is that something that you guys had before Saul when you were evaluating him? Or is that something that as you got your hands on him, you felt that was going to be a possibility? I think it's just kind of how it turned out there in the pre-season. And he made some plays in there and made some plays on the edge. So on third down, just trying to find different pieces and guys that can back up or play more than one position. Are your coaching staff doing well? Are you adding as opposed to subtracting? I mean, I think our coaching staff is doing well, yeah. You've been through pre-season as a player plenty of times. And how important did you find it as a player? Was it to get into some games before having to play for real in the regular season? I think it depends on the year, Gentry. I think that there's a level to preparation that probably needs to happen as far as just a mindset of that it's not just a practice. And you're going out there to try to accomplish something. Whether that be 15 plays, 20 plays, or as some younger players or when I was a younger player, 50 plays and all the special teams. So without knowing who that you're referencing, I still think that it's important. And again, there's a lot of factors that go into guys that we've played here in the past or even this year during the pre-season. What was your experience like during this quarantine where you pretty much just basement guy? And also, I guess, did your family manage to escape the COVID situation? Everybody's fine. Jen's good. The kids are good. Basement was where I pretty much hung out. That's it. Easy to do, you know, meeting zooms, that kind of stuff from, did you run into any difficulties or was it? Oh, yeah, it was just smooth sailing, John. I mean, just imagine one of your Zoom interviews that you try to get on, it felt the same way, like the hamster wheel, the blue wheel of death that comes up on the exos machine that means it's about ready to crash and then the power goes out apparently every hour down Hillsborough Pike. So those are a lot of things that we dealt with. You mentioned guys on the practice squad need to always be ready because you can get called up on a Friday client on Sunday. What would Dez's Patrick, where does he need to grow for him to be ready for all those opportunities? I mean, I think that we've had conversations with Dez and just the consistency, the willingness to play without the football in your hand. That's what you're going to have to do to play receiver is to be able to go and do things without the football in your hand and also then be really good when you're running routes and catching the football. So we've had conversations with Dez. We'll continue to have conversations, continue to coach them, and we'll see where it all goes as the season unfolds. Do you notice the blockage of the play receiver? I mean, everything that you could do without the football in your hand. Running great routes being, there's times where we ask guys for lack of a better term and might smoke it through the middle of the field because now they have to respect you. They have to honor you, which then could open up other routes, intermediate routes. That would be a way that you would play better without the ball in your hand. Or you have to clear something out. Or you have to be able to run a route to rub or open up things, and then as well as block it. You've got to trust on the corridors. What kind of challenge do they present to you as a weak one opponent, maybe, on each side of the ball? I think that they're obviously talented. They have a dynamic quarterback that can go 80 yards. I saw a third down and 17. He scrambles for a first down. He goes 70 yards against Carolina, 70 some or whatever it was. Pulls it in the red zone, 20-yard touchdowns. He slides. He makes you miss. Strong arm. I think that was the thing that shocked me the most, was how strong his arm is. Very willing to throw outward breaking routes across the field. Two good tailbacks. Obviously, Hopkins are familiarity with him. AJ Green, the inside receivers, ones that they have coming back, and they've got some new pieces. They've got a center that I've got a lot of respect for who's been a great player for a lot of years. Got a lot of length on defense on the edges, and then they've added a lot of length inside with Collins and Simmons. So certainly, Buda Baker is a very disruptive player from anywhere on the field. We could go all the way down and through the roster, but talented and a lot of length on defense that we'll have to deal with when we try to either run or try to throw the football. Is there a challenge to comment? Whoever you have, you'll have to pull this cast of characters that you've had on offense, calling plays for that group for the first time as opposed to live periods of preseason that you've had. I mean, I think that that's just all going to be part of it, and there's things that you think, OK, I'm sure that there's plays that we're going to have that maybe are for a specific player, or maybe aren't, you know, just can kind of call it and run it with whoever is in there. I'm sure there'll be plays that are designed for each guy, and it's work in progress as far as just making sure that those guys that are going to be coming back in there that maybe we haven't seen so much in preseason are working hard, and those guys have been, and excited for, really excited for Monday.
