 What's that? Denver Nuggets. Yeah, man. I saw a story the other day saying Matt Ryan sounds to do with Nuggets. I didn't see that man. I didn't see it. There's somebody else, huh? I can shoot back in the day. My wife is a better basketball player than I am for sure. Hey Matt, did you all figure something out in those last two drives there? I know y'all wanted to be more consistent, but I was the probably veggies other than opening two and filling the best stretch for you guys. Yeah, I mean I just thought we executed the way that we're capable of there at the end. And I think if we can do that more consistently, that's going to bode well for us. So hopefully we can use some of that momentum this week and try and play that type of way, consistent, efficient, and confident. And if we can do that, I think we're capable of being a good offense. And Calvin said that y'all are still trying to figure out how to move the ball and how teams are trying to play you all as a big part of that. Where is that process at and how do y'all move forward with how teams are trying to play you all? Yeah, I think every year, even when you have a lot of the same guys, every team is different. And your identity and who you become is different. It takes some time to sort through that and things change with injuries and things like that. With Russ being out last week, we had to do some different things. And so I think that we're growing towards who we want to become. We're not there. We got a lot of work, a lot of hard work in front of us to get there, but we're working towards that. And then as far as how defenses are playing us, it's a small sample size. A couple of weeks, small sample size, but there's certainly looks that we've seen with zone coverage and different things like that, that we can be more effective than we've been up until this point. Do teams usually do this to you in the beginning of the years, like in the years past, or is this a change for how teams are defending you early too? I mean, it's different with every team you play and who you're playing early in years. It was a new staff that we faced the first week, so you didn't really know what to expect going into that. And then a staff that's been together for a while in the second week. And so I think every year is different. I think every team that I've been on, even with the same coaches, are different. And so it takes some time to shake out, but I think each year is unique. And when it comes to just kind of not being able to really push the ball down the field, where you almost have to just kind of take shots even if they're there to keep defenses on us? No. I don't think there's a lot of merit to throwing the ball in there when it's a bad look. I think we've got guys that have proven that you can create explosive plays in different ways, whether that be throwing the ball down the field, whether it be a slip screen or something like that, throwing it a couple of yards and letting your guys make plays. I think we've got to continue to work at it. And when we get our opportunities, where we get looks that are advantageous for us, we've got to let it rip and go make the plays. Awesome. I know we're somewhat joking about some more belief here, but how important was it to get a win this early this season, clear last year when you were on a five-game skid, and now to kind of show these guys that the work you're putting in is paying off and you can win? I think it's good, but I also think there's a lot of new people in the building too from last year and a lot of different players, different coaches. And so I think you want to create collective belief in this unit and what we're doing and how we're putting things together from Arthur and Terry and what their vision is. I think winning ball games obviously is the best thing you can do to kind of create that belief. But I think it's been good. I think the Bayern's been really good from the start and the new guys that we've brought in, the guys that have been here before are all trying to come together to be the best we can be. Rick? You talked about explosive plays. What's your assessment of Cordero Patterson through the first three games in this office? I think he's done a great job. I think whether it be running the football for us or catching the ball out of the backfield or really changing the game in special teams with the way teams account for kicking to him and different things that they'll do. He's made a huge impact for us and I think he's done a great job and I've really enjoyed playing with him the first three weeks. How important do you think he's become now? He's really important. We ask him to do a lot of things. We ask a lot of guys to do a lot of different things and he's certainly one of them. But I think he's an important piece of us being a good offense and a good team moving forward. Josh? How often or what's the percentage of the looks you get each week that you were expecting to get in terms of your game plan or does that vary wildly from game to game? It depends on the week. Some teams are very game plan specific. The defenses that you go against might look like one thing one week and very different than next week. They're very specific to the opponent they're going against where you play other teams that are who they are and they kind of do what they do. So I think you kind of know that going into it with the opponent you're going against and the track record of the coordinator. But there's always, even with that said, there's always a few things in a game that you've got to plan for you that you've got to account for. What's the key to having success when you see those looks that you just didn't put into your plan that week? Well, I think it's about staying on your side of the ball. When you get looks or coverage or a front or something that we didn't necessarily prepare for, it's about knowing the rules of the offense inside and out and trusting those rules in those kind of situations. And that's something that we can continue to improve on as the year goes on. How much progress does this group have on the rules for this offense? Do you think collectively? Yeah, I think it's pretty good, you know, and I think it's getting better. You know, we're not perfect by any stretch of the imagination. We've got to get better for sure. But, you know, I think for the most part, you know, guys have been on top of that. Justin, how can you kind of dig into the old jokes of facing a Ramavara defense for this week? Yeah, a couple, you know, Ramavara, Jack Del Rio. You know, this is a lot of guys that, you know, I saw at different points throughout my career and both really good defensive coaches, they get their guys to play hard and physical. They're very stout up front, you know, good, really good defensive line, athletic linebackers, good and back end. So a team that had a lot of success last year and, you know, was very physical and tough. And that's always kind of been the hallmarks of Ron's defenses when I played against him in Carolina and certainly, you know, Jack's defenses in Oakland and in Jacksonville. Charles? What have you seen from Matt Hennessy in his first few games? Obviously there's a little league that's there of the middle against Tampa Bay and then you go to the game against New York Giants and have that solid pocket between guard and guard. Yeah, I think, you know, he's getting better. You know, he's a guy that, you know, played a little bit for us at the end of the year which I thought was helpful for him. And, you know, again though, with it being a new system, you know, there's just a process of getting comfortable, you know, and settling in. And I think he's, you know, I think he's improved every week. And that's what we need to see from him, from myself, from all our guys is, you know, gradual and consistent improvement as the year goes on. And I certainly think Matt has done that the first couple of weeks. How many people are tied in to come in and be productive in the field? It's a tough position, you know, there's no doubt about it. I think those guys are asked to do, you know, a lot. Whether it be in the pass game, run game, pass protection, you know, play in multiple different positions for us, different spots, you know, in our letters, whether, you know, it's Y, FZ, different, you know, places that they have to play, they have to learn a lot. And, you know, it's one of those things. I think, you know, I'm assuming you're asking about Kyle. So, you know, I think he's done a good job. He's warranted, you know, respect on other side of the ball from people. And that's one thing, you know, I've noticed early on in the first couple of weeks is that there's, you know, a plan for him and where he's at. And so he's just got to continue to stay patient. I think, you know, my message to him is, you know, the ball finds different guys at different times. And sometimes it comes in, you know, flurries, you know, you just hit you and all of a sudden you've got a game with nine, 10 catches, something like that. And so, you know, I think he'll just continue to chip away, get better like he's been doing, work really hard. And he made critical plays for us at the end of the game. I mean, those are game-winning plays. And that's what you want from guys like that. Do you feel like he's, that's kind of getting to him that he's not being... I don't. I think his attitude has been great. You know, I think he's competitive. He's, you know, unselfish, puts a team first. And, you know, just wants to go out there and make plays to help us win. And that's the vibe he's put out there the entire time. I love it. Chris, did you know you hit the 350 passing touchdown mark during the game or when did you find out? Not in, I guess not until after, after the game. Again, you know, it's a cool, very cool, you know, number to hit. I'm hoping there's quite a few more in there. And we can keep that going. But I'm proud of, you know, being at this point in my career and, you know, being able to do it for this long. But I didn't know until after the game. It seems like you're doing this every week now with the milestones for you. Does it mean anything to you like this? Does it get any less significant or more each week? No, you know, it's... You know, you kind of compartmentalize, right? Like the most important thing right now is winning football games and, you know, trying to do whatever I can do to help our team win. And at the same time, I'm very proud of, you know, what I've accomplished throughout the duration of my career. And, you know, so I'm proud of it, but I don't spend a lot of time thinking about it. You know, I really don't. I spend all of my mental energy, you know, trying to help, you know, trying to do my part to help us win games. And I've always felt like, you know, if you take that approach, the other stuff kind of falls into line. Man, how would you describe the chemistry between Zakiya... Zakiya Smith and Sharp, of course, and guys that had a little bit different roles this game with games being... Yeah, I thought Alamaday did a great job for us. You know, had a couple of, you know... I remember the catch he had over the middle in the red zone where he got drilled. And for him to, you know, pop up, you know, make that catch that was huge for us, put us in a really good position. Did a great job on the touchdown catch that he had. I just thought he stepped up and, you know, I was proud of his effort. And Taj, you know, you mentioned him. I thought he converted one of the biggest third downs of the game for us in a spot where he hadn't had a target for the day. And he's about number four in the progression right there and wins on his route. And, you know, that was huge for us. It kept the drive going and was big for our momentum. You know, you can't undervalue the role that those guys play. I mean, there are huge plays in the game for us. And neither of those guys blinked when their number was called to go make a play. Obviously, last game against the Giants, there were some things that you wish you would have did better, but a win is a win. Can you take from that game and bring it into this one if you guys plan to be victorious? Well, I think, you know, I think the way we finished the game was good. You know, the end of the fourth quarter was productive for us. I think we're going to be better at the end of the half, protect the ball better and try and come away with points there. You know, they're huge situations to take advantage of. And then, you know, hopefully, you know, it can be more consistent for four quarters. I think, you know, the good has been good, but we haven't been good enough. We just continue to be a little bit more consistent. That's going to help us out. Matt, for 14 years, you've developed a lot of fans, and I mean, obviously in this area of Taylor, I didn't play here. Have you met him yet? What's it be like when a guy comes up to you and says, I remember he was a kid. Yeah, it's okay. I guess it's a little strange that it's a little flattering, but I've been impressed with him. He's tough, you know, really tough. And, you know, he's a guy that's earned everything. That's come his way. And he's gone out there. He's played fearless. He's played hard. And I think he's improved the more he's gotten to play. And so I have a lot of respect for him and what he's done so far. Do you remember in the console? I was, I had heard of him, but I'm pretty sure I never saw him play. I want to go back to what you were saying about Kyle and Deepins is already kind of being well aware of his skillset, what he does, where he is on the field. I mean, looking back over the last 14 years, is there a player that has either come through here offensively or a defensive guy that y'all faced that you kind of immediately zoned in on this early in a career? I'll play with a pretty good one at Y Receiver before. That made a pretty big impact when he came in in Julio. You know, that defenses were aware of and, you know, his skillset. I'm trying to think of early players that I played with. Those would probably be, you know, the two, from a skill position standpoint. And that's probably it. Tori actually took my attention. That's a good question. It was. When he was in Washington, guys, and also when you've got a box, what benefit is there to maybe try to do more play action early in the game? Does that help balance out maybe some of that pressure and some of that pressure? Yeah, I think, you know, I think keeping them off schedule is the key. You know, whether it be having to defend the run, you mentioned play action, getting the ball out of your hand, max protecting, five man protecting, doing all kinds of different things, you know, just to kind of keep them off balance. I think there are lots of different ways to do it. And I've done it lots of different ways throughout my career. We'll put together a plan this week and kind of see what is the best for us. I think there's lots of ways to do it. Is there a back fit in that start with this, too? To having faced Philly and Tampa, we also have very, very incidental dominant fronts early on for the line. Do you think there's a benefit to that? There's always benefits going against really good football teams. It's a measuring stick for where you're at and where you need to improve. And when you play against good players, you know, especially for a lot of our young guys, you know, it's a great opportunity to grow. And so, you know, I think there has been growth. I think there's been defensive fronts this season and I think there's been growth. Can you talk for a little more, Justin? So, Arthur talked after the game about guys getting second chances instead of making a quick change. Jaylen Mayfield, he was a tough game one. He's played better. He pointed the camera in his leg at tough games and really excelled against the Giants. When you guys see that, a guy getting a second chance, a coach not making a quick change, what does it say to the veterans on the team? Well, I think it, you know, we preach constant, you know, growth and daily improvement. You know, there's a sense of urgency for sure. But there's, you know, a commitment to allowing guys to develop and to grow. And we need that across the board. And so, you know, I think Art's done a great job of managing that, you know, letting guys develop and continue to get better as they move along in their career, but also demanding them to try and be at their very best at the time. Alright, thank you. Thanks guys. You're welcome.
