 Before I get started here, I just wanted to, like a lot of people in the Atlanta area in the football community were saddened to hear about Robbie Roper, the Roswell quarterback in the community and his family, just want to send my condolences. And then on another note, it was really nice to get out, went at home here. I appreciate our fans. Our fans have been great all year, especially, you know, a lot of our fans have traveled to Carolina, Jacksonville, and it was good to reward them with a home win. Having said that, our D-Led, yeah, that's what D-Led, that's kind of been our ethos, you know, find a way to win. I believe, in fact, check me here, Basie, that puts us what, seven and two in one possession games? Seven and two in one possession game. So that's what we're trying to create a culture of winning, playing as a team, playing smart situational football. You know, obviously, there at the end, they were getting the cover zero. So we got the check. We wanted, obviously the ball came out. But I got all the faith in the world and Russ and our team, if you've seen the mindset, it was, there was no long faces. My defense went back out there, grinded it out. The pre-situational football made them earn it. And FOIA came up with a big play there. Sure. Yeah, maybe you got to give Detroit credit here. They've been playing good football. They were going to shorten this game down. We knew possessions were going to be limited. So when we stumbled to start the game, you know, it was going to be their kind of game. They were going to basically play four minute offense. I believe they had the ball for 38 minutes. So we needed to be really efficient. Possessions were limited, you know, when we stumbled. But that's what you have to do. You have to adjust. He led. Saw a couple of things. We adjusted. Got a couple looks, second half, able to push Paul down the field. And it was a good job by Matt and Kyle and the entire team. Yeah, there's not a lot of guys like Matt Ryan. He's a joy to coach. He's tough, low maintenance for a guy of his caliber. I can't say no good things about Matt. No, it's not knowing. You know, you're just playing situational football. That's not a shot at anybody, Michael. That's not me saying how smart we are as it's a pretty standard issue. You're in four minute. We're in that situation. They got one time out. They don't want to get the ball to come out. A couple of different looks there. You know, they had sacked us on a zero look on an early third down on third and long. So, I mean, it wasn't, they weren't disguising it. And that's a pretty standard issue in the National Football League. So we got the look and they executed better than we did at the end of the play. That's a, I know that's a simmering hot take. Court down, it's a big part of the offense. Taney scored a touchdown again today, Michael. Again, they can't, you're able to play the match up game. All right, if you want to give it a certain, you want to roll over here to Kyle, to CP, great. You know, that's why OZ had a couple big, big completions. Russ, I mean, that's what we are. Our team is trying to improve and get better. So, sorry to ruin the hot take. Okay, a lot of things that evolve is a huge part of our offense. Like I said, got another touchdown today. I believe that's his 11th or the season. No, I'm not going to get into our strategy there, but there's a lot of things that play there, Josh. You know, when you get in there and all right, do you play the game when you want to get the ball back? You give each other a chance, or are you going to put it all in the last play? I mean, they had to have a touchdown to win, fully aware of that. There's a lot of several factors there, and I'm not going to get into specifics. There's a lot of things that could, there are a lot of variables that could come up, where you feel the need to do that, or save time, or vice versa. When they're playing their last time out, do you want to put pressure on them to get the call in, not bail them out? There's a lot of things that got it made, but these are all talked about beforehand, while we continually look at situation. I'm never perfect, but you got to be aware and be involved in every part of that game. I think that shows growth, from where we've come from from earlier in the season. Like I said, the defense on the field for 38 minutes, and credit destroyed. We understood what kind of game it was going to be, close football games. They won two of the last three coming in here, and so they're going to run the ball in third and five, third and six, clock's moving. So the defense has been out there, said a lot about them. I've been a part of teams, defense, they're sitting there dragging. The offense has a chance to go in the game. Again, it didn't happen that way, but I love the energy they came back out on the field with. We try to score every week. A lot of say, I keep saying this, and maybe people roll their eyes. It's a strategy game. You go in there. There's a lot of variables with 22 players out in there. One thing can throw you off. You may sit there and say, hey, we got guys wide open, well, great. Well, they're a D-Line, they made a play, or whatever happens. Or they covered it this way. The defense does have a say. I thought we were better in situational football. That certainly helped us red zone defense, red zone offense. And usually when you win, it usually goes your way. The long season for a rookie. Like I said, he's just scratching the surface. He made the Pro Bowl. He broke franchise record in most yards in a season by a tight end. And he's just getting started, Michael. It's a rookie. It's a long, long year of the life. No, I know, I appreciate the question. It's a good question. But sometimes you have his answer, and there's a lulls in the season. And he's had the right mindset. That's why he's fun to coach. And like I said, I told him, today when he made the Pro Bowl, he's just scratching the surface. If he can continue to improve, we'll see where this thing goes. Every game's a different story. Like what their coverage plan is, what their third down plan is. That's a fun part of coaching. Move them around and then make adjustments, communicate. It's a pretty much standard operating procedure in the national football league. Correct to him. It's really where it's just a long year for those rookies. I mean, Jalen Mayfield's taken damn near every snap as a rookie. And it's just a long journey. And I'm proud of those guys. And here we are going into week 17 and with another big game coming up Sunday up in Buffalo. Sure. Yeah, like this whole rookie class. I mean, they've all contributed. They've all, it's a long journey. And we had two veteran safeties and we understood that going into this thing. It's why we play these guys. Again, strategy going into the preseason, why we needed to play all these guys. They never played a snap in the NFL because you're going to get in the season and this is what happens. And that's what, that's where Richie is. He made a big impact early on the season on special teams. Now he's starting to make an impact on defense. His journey is just beginning too. We've all seen it. The rookies that come out and you never hear from again after year one. We want our guys to improve and get better year over year. The entire team. And obviously things come up and that'll be the goal every season. Well, both. But I mean, the one, you know, I guess they got credited for the one that that rule there. If you're an offensive coach with a no yard game when he runs out, I guess they credit to him. I'd love to know where the evolution of that one came from but try to some defensive guys that push that through. D-Lev maybe can tell me that one. So I got, you know, they made a play one-on-one. The next, the next one came on an all-out pressure and we didn't get the ball out. So that's kind of what happened. If you go back, Josh, look at the games we played well. We played well situationally. Short yard, red zone. Again, I know another scorching hot take when you get recency bias, when you get down there like we stalled out last weekend. Sure, you clump numbers together. Clumping together today, pretty damn good. But that's usually the story when you win or you lose. Can you like not to have turnovers? Obviously we had the one late. Can you win up front? Can you handle situational football? That's where most of these games come down to international football. Okay. Appreciate you guys. Start off in that first series, man, gave up, reset. And you got the kind of able to kind of don't turn game down. But what went into it? The adjustment that y'all made or did y'all just say, hey, you got the best? We definitely needed to do better. But we just, you got to keep your head down and just keep grinding and, you know, not ride the waves of a game. And it's not the way you want to start a game. And we know we need to be better on things. But in the moment, you know, you can't get down on yourself. You got to just communicate with each other, respond. And I thought we did a good job about that. Communicating the rest of the way out. I'm not sure about that. I just know Cordero is a explosive player. He's a great teammate. And all those guys, really, we love blocking form and just trying to give them opportunities to make plays. And that's your job, really, as an offensive lineman, is just make sure everybody's assignment sound and those guys can go out there and be as explosive as they are. It's just, you know, as an offense, you go in those four-minute situations and you want to put the game away. And that's something that, you know, we're responsible for as an offense. But, you know, things happen, adversity strikes, and it's how you can overcome it as a team. And 100% confidence in the defense that those guys are going to go out there and make the play, and they did. And just you're grateful for them and you have full confidence in them. But as an offensive guy, you don't want to put those guys in that situation. But, you know, again, when adversity strikes, those guys rose to the occasion. I just think there's a standard of which in situational football is something that we practice every single day and we try and be great at and try to win. And it's not, you know, it's not always perfect, but I think there's a confidence in each other and a belief in this team that anytime we go out there, we can win. And, you know, the expectation is that we're going to win. And nothing else is good enough. And just with that mindset, you know, there's great chemistry within our team as well. You know, there's guys pushing for each other, happy for each other when a guy makes a play. They're celebrating everywhere, picking guys up. And I'm just grateful to be a part of it. It's been crazy. But I'm very grateful to play for an organization and for Mr. Blank and Coach Smith and Coach Quinn when my mom was diagnosed to be able to send me home. And I was able to be with her the last couple of weeks and I was there Tuesday when she passed with my home family and just very, very grateful for to be a part of an organization where I was able to go home and have those moments with her and just really, really appreciative and my whole family is to this organization and all the outreach that we've received from the people of Atlanta and just throughout, we're just really, really grateful. I just think we had a mentality that we knew it wasn't good enough last week and, you know, we needed to go out there and we needed to get it done. And we take pride in what we do as an offense and as an offensive line and realizing that, you know, short yardage, we need to get it done. Goal line, we need to get it done. And I just think we did a good job as a team scoring in those opportunities. I mean, we can watch the film as always. Things are correct, but I think on the whole we did a really good job just understanding the situation and, you know, part of it is you're on a long drive. You're at 10 play or six play or whatever it is. Realizing, okay, it's just not another play. This is, you know, this is a short yarded situation. This is a goal line situation. We need to go like we need to get this and there's awareness to that and just keep grinding away at it. Awesome guys, thank you so much. It's a gritty group, for sure. You know, it hasn't been perfect by any stretch of the imagination throughout the year, but we've done a good job when we've had opportunities to win games where we've been in those one-score games. We've done a very good job and, you know, we made a mistake offensively there at the end, but our defense goes right out onto the field, doesn't blink and steps up and makes a, you know, makes a pick when they need to. Great play by Fourier, but, you know, that's what you got to do to keep yourself in the mix. You know, when you're in late-game situations, you got to find a way to get the job done and, you know, in those one-score games, we've done a pretty good job throughout the year. Yeah, I think, you know, as a player, you'd always rather be on the field. I'd always, you know, rather have, you know, the ball in my hands and trying to determine the outcome that way, but, you know, being part of a team, you know, that's not how it is sometimes. You got to trust other players to go out there and make the plays. And I thought our defense did a great job there at the end, containing the run and then stepping up and creating a pocket push, getting the ball out early and Fourier being on the right spot. So you got to trust, you know, you got to trust all three phases. And at different times throughout the year, all three phases have stepped up for us. Yeah, I think so. It's, you know, the balance, the competitive balance is strong. And, you know, you said it early in my career, we did, we had a lot of success, finding ways to win games, you know, late, late. And, you know, for whatever reason, the last couple of years, you know, we weren't able to do that. But I am proud of this team, you know, this year for finding ways, you know, in those situations to make plays, make plays we need to win. And, you know, hopefully, hopefully it's flowing back that way, you know, the end of my career can be much like the beginning. I thought Kyle played extremely well. And he's been trending, you know, that way all year for us, continuing week in and week out, getting better and playing with great effort. And I thought he made, you know, an unbelievable catch on the sideline on the go ball today. You know, only a handful of wide receivers in the league can make those kind of plays. And we're fortunate to have a guy at a tight end spot that can go do that. And so it was a special play, but, you know, really some of the intermediate stuff moving the chains for us, you know, those are huge, you know, where you're getting eight or nine yards on first or second down and getting into third and ones in, you know, very short yardage situations. I see, you know, that, you know, continuing to expand for him, you know, throughout his career. But I'm certainly, you know, proud of him. It's not an easy year. That rookie year is not an easy year. And he's continued to push and get better and has never really hit a wall. He's just continued to excel. And I'm excited about what he can bring, you know, to this team in the future, but certainly, you know, what he's doing for us right now. Well, you know, I just tell him in the locker room that, you know, you have his back and the ball's coming back to him. I also told him that, you know, I've been in that spot, you know, where it's a pick or something at the end of the game where you're driving. And it's lonely, you know, there's no doubt about it. But, you know, let him know he's not alone. You know, we've all got your back and the next time we have that opportunity, the ball's coming his way. And I certainly believe he's going to make the plays for us in future situations. Yeah, I thought our guys just battled. They settled into the game. We did a good job of, you know, balancing up, getting the ball out quick, but also, you know, firming up protection when we had chances to push it down the field. I just think sometimes games shake out like that. There's an early push and our guys, you know, just didn't blink. They just continue to work at it, make the adjustments on the sideline, and I thought they played tough. Yeah, it's huge when you see, you know, your defense make a play to belly out to get the win. And but that's what, you know, good football teams do that. You know, you pick up the other side of the ball and special teams find a way to make a play when you need it. In this league, you need all three phases to be successful. And I thought our defense did a great job stepping up there at the end and, you know, icing the game. I think so. You know, I think, you know, art talks all the time about trying to be, you know, a very good situational football team. And, you know, I think for the most part, we've done that. We've made mistakes at certain spots. But again, you know, one of the three phases have found a way to kind of make up for that. And again, I go back to it. I really do think, you know, when you have all three phases that you're confident in to go make a play to end the game, that gives you a lot of belief. And our locker room should have a lot of belief. It's hard to put a number. He probably gets annoyed with me sometimes because he's got to do the bulk of the running. I'm just kind of throwing it up there. But I do hammer home with those guys. You know, I believe the way you get better is you work at it and you do it over and over and over and over. And then, you know, you just fall into rhythm during a game. You just do the same things that we've practiced, you know, for eight months or however long it's been now from when he was drafted. And I think, you know, for him, you're starting to see both of us being on the same page and really having a feel for what the other is going to do. And again, it's hard to put a number on those things, but there's been quite a few. Yeah, early on, I mean, he had a great work ethic, you know, was willing to go out there and put in the work. I always think that there comes a time in the season where it gets, you know, it gets tough. And I've been very impressed with him for pushing through that and, you know, continuing to go out there and put the time in, even when it's uncomfortable, because, you know, my belief is that, you know, it pays off. And, you know, I appreciate that from him. Yeah, you know, he could ask questions about it, which, you know, start to, you know, trigger your mind on what could happen. I have to say, all three of those guys never brought any of those things up. And, you know, that speaks to the kind of teammates they were and what they were about. They were all about winning. And, you know, I do find that, you know, your answer questions about it, so you kind of understand where things are going. And you always want to get it for them, you know, personally. But I've been really fortunate to be around guys that, you know, it didn't come up. You know, it really didn't come up in conversation. And they were all great teammates. No, he hasn't said anything, man. He's just out there, you know, just playing. And, you know, he, again, falls into that category, you know, of some of those really good players that I've played with that, you know, are great teammates. And they put in the work. They work really hard. They're not selfish. I know everybody wants to play great. I mean, there's nothing wrong with that. But they truly are, you know, team first players. And, you know, that's fun to have those kind of guys in your locker room. I think it's always unique because you go into it and each team has their scheme, you know, of what they do. And so every week, you know, always a little bit different of how, you know, people are going to play you or try and take certain things away. We talk about that during the week. Hey, here's some of the things I might do within the scheme that they have. And I think he's gotten a lot better through the year of understanding during the week of preparation how certain things can shake out. And I think that's a growth, a step of growth that he's made. And, you know, today and in the last couple of weeks, I mean, I think he's playing, you know, really high-level football. Appreciate it, guys. Thank you. So Kyle's been able to take advantage of maybe a small to reach, potential to reach. I'm happy for him that I, the ball, rather, you know, make plays in the ball when it's time to be made. You know, in the kind of ugly game, you got to find a way to be victorious if that's what you're meaning. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, there are two and three in the last, whatever, three, right? You know, they're kind of riding something. So they found out that running the ball is going to work for them, making it ugly, a front-time possession. So we kind of scouted them up on that and knew that they was going to try to attack us on that after seeing how we played in San Francisco. So we kind of had to, you know, talk between ourselves and we got to be physical and stop the run and keep the ball in front of us. Who was that? Yeah, Lea's a defense. Yeah, I'll keep you to that. What'd you say? What'd you say? Huh? What'd you say? I mean, it was very clear that we didn't play how we were supposed to play. You know, Dean kind of came at us on that and just basically do your job. And that was part of our team key, let's be physical out there. Yeah. Yeah, as I said, we were already expecting to go back out there. So when the fumble happened, I was really standing up. I'm like, oh, we might have broken on the screen. Then I saw the ball on the ground. I was like, here we go. Let's go out on the field. And I said, called them up and said, if you don't get the touchdown, we win the game. So I think we played pretty good defense up to that point. I really know the stats. But I felt we played good defense. You know, it's key about the end zone, how we have for most of the game. We're going to win. It's crazy because, I mean, last year, we were not seven-and-two in these type of games. This year, put emphasis on situational football, how to handle situations and stuff. And we really look at a lot of NFL games that come down to one possession. So if you know what you're doing down the stretch, or even a second quarter, going into half, like lapping them, that's what good teams or teams that win do. And then they're labeled as good because they know how to win situational football moments. And when you are able to go seven-and-two in those type of games, like all you have to do the rest of the year is just win other games that you're supposed to win. So it's definitely something to look up on, but definitely more work to be done in order to win games. What was the last part? Can I not hear? Yeah, and I'm ready to brag. Oh, yeah. Yo, Tom, as I said, the old told me to get down in that situation after the interception. I'll give him that. But a lot of it is just, you know, going out there playing football. I think Cope is a lot smarter than me. I'll let him have that, that way I can kind of, you know, have him, you know, on his high horse. Then you send him up, exactly. So, I mean, playing sports is crazy. Every time you level up high school, situations are going to be different in college. There's little rule differences in everything. You know, they're going to implement the shot, or I'm a big basketball fan. You know, let's talk about basketball. The instruments, the shot clock in college, now they're kind of doing the high school a little bit. Now they're implementing the shot clock in 24 seconds. Go from 30 to 24 seconds in that NBA. And then you realize, like at the end of quarters, it's really, they basically have two minute basketball. Let's say you try to get a shot up in order to get extra possession later in the quarter, something like that, as times winding down. It's just really different nuances as the rules change as you keep going higher and higher in whatever sports you play. So you have to be able to learn on the fly in the NFL. Like you learn college things, you know, whether they run a lot of zone read and stuff, or how they, you know, the time clock, the clock stops in the first down and stuff, you know, the NFL all of a sudden, apparently five minutes, you know, that's when out of bounds starts working in your favor, like hitting them out of bounds. The clock is going to stop and stuff. So it's just a lot of little different rules that you have to learn on the fly that you don't really think about in college. And I felt like, oh, everything, little thing matters. Oh, it's cool. I mean, oh, it's cool to have your own fans cheering for you and stuff at the end of the game. Definitely an emotional thing to keep riding until next week. Staying positive and trying to get another win. Yeah, yeah, of course.
