 My good sir, so you got a bunch of guys who were not out here today. I'm sure we know about some of the work D on some of those guys. Yeah, it's all the look with everything right now. You know, we had to get our work in today and like I've been on record many of times the same fluid look different yesterday. And it's gonna look to it right now and then it'll all clear up by tomorrow. Certainly by Friday, we'll have a very clear picture of what the early roster is going to look like for us. Have you made decisions of these? There are two way for claims that were already made public. Have you made decisions on roster moves corresponding with those yet? We have, but until we officially do it, I'm not gonna speak out of turn. I mean, all that stuff is clear. I'd be evasive if there's always that. I'm not gonna jump ahead of the league and their process. But yes, we have, but I'm not gonna get into that. It'll clear up here soon. And you put guys on IR, then? It'll all clear up here in a couple hours. Coach, the 12 practice squad members, 11 we are familiar with. Sure. Yeah, we're still working through a D-led, but we're happy to have those guys back. The ones that we announced that have been in camp with us, we're fired up to continue to work with them. And with the new rules, you can stand and elevate them, everybody's gonna be ready to play. And it's about making sure you have all the right guys. And the one thing I will say, I guess if somebody claimed it and we had a national guy claim that the guy was gonna compete for a spot. Guys, that's not true. Like we're bringing guys in there, we'll evaluate them. And that's funny, I don't know where people get their sources or whatever they're saying, that's not the case, okay? Check to see if somebody's a fit, see what it looks like. But nobody we claim is competing for the right tackle spot. Everybody that's in this roster can compete to play. But I'm gonna knock that narrative out of there. I don't know where that came from. Did Chris say, can I have a question? Did Chris say he was with you in Tennessee? He was, yeah. Tell the folks about him. Yeah, hard charging guys, guys that's improved. Like we've seen on tape, we'll take a look at Matt. Let's see what he looks like when he gets here. In terms of Burnhart, I know we talked about him before. What was it that you saw that you said, I feel good enough to- Well, there's a lot of things with a lot of guys. I mean, you saw the constant improvement, the ability for us to trust. And we felt he deserves a shot right now. So very pleased with Bernie. He's come a long way quick, just like a lot of guys on this roster. And they're not easy decisions, and they're trying to balance everything. And you wish we could keep everybody, but that's not the case. And we'll continue to look to add, but anybody we kept, we felt confident in the way they were training. You mentioned a long way quick with him and constant improvement. It seemed like his journey might have been a little bit different because of the lack of football over a full college career. Right, but the guy, he had played football in a different position. And then obviously played lacrosse, well documented, and changed positions here, and come a long way. Excited to see where it goes. Was there a moment of a week or something that you saw? I didn't have an aha moment, I don't. You guys always ask me, everybody asks me for like the corny like, so we can write it some fluff piece like, wow, like we had this magic moment or dinner. No, it's just a continued evaluation, trying to be objective. What was it for that, like that touchdown pass that he caught? That wasn't just because of the touchdown passes. It's all the little plays sometimes you guys don't even see. The little nuances, some of the things that guys you can trust, all the little details, those things add up. Because just want to check in on non-fluff matters. Yeah, sure. Hit me with direct questions, I'll give you direct answers. What you got, do you like? I just said, London, Davidson and Mayfield, where are they at? Yeah, the picture will clear up for a lot of those guys, but we're excited about Drake's progress and we'll see where that goes. And as other guys, we'll just wait and see how it plays out. I mean, there's a lot of, you know, we talked about it, but it seems like more than normal where people aren't personal stuff or... Unfortunately, you know, one player has, you know, unfortunately lost his best friend's at a funeral. And those life events come up, you better make sure you're there. And we got enough guys, we're there to support everybody in our organization. And so when things come up and major life events, tragic, or, you know, we've had a couple guys, you know, the first baby was born, it's important. So the timing of it, you know, it's, sometimes it can't control the timing. So you've got football and life stuff going on. Yeah, when you talk about serious life matters, you lead, we take that serious, we're going to support all of our people, everybody in this organization. Since we want to see you to Monday, what's kind of the plan here the next day? I thought you guys were coming out tomorrow. I'm not going to go see my dad, but... I'll see, there's important life events, do you lead? No, it is. But yeah, so what's the plan over? I know you're not just going to kick back. No, I mean, it's Saturday or by week, it's probably good and it's healthy for the players. And certainly the plan is, you know, we got a big game coming up on September 11th. And so it's a fine line, you don't want to go overkill, like it's a month to prepare for a bowl game. And that's always hard with week ones, you want to write a mount, you don't want to overthink it, you want to have a good plan and make sure we're ready to roll. Is that the one question? Yeah. Yeah, it is. When you feel it, as soon as you step into the team meeting, you're used to seeing a lot more people in there and then it will fill back up as we continue to fill out the practice squad and as some of the corresponding transactions happen in the next 24, 48 hours. Certainly. I mean, it's a tough business. You know, like I said, right after the pre-season game, I got a lot of respect, appreciation for all the guys. It's a tough business, we understand that, we understand you're well compensated, but there's still a human element. And you wish you could have all the guys, but we can't. But it certainly does feel a little bit different. It's not, but I mean, you have a great appreciation, but you understand the business. And you never know, life comes in full circle. Like we've got guys here that I worked with previous at different spots, no different than last year. Brandon Copeland, a guy that when I was running the scout team and holding up the cards, and he was a young guy in his league, trying to make it on a P-Squad, and you know, it's funny how life comes, then you become the head coach and he's a veteran and you get to work with him again. So you just never know. Like coach, just been going over Parker's fly. Hesse? Yeah, yeah, Hesse. As the old Titans coach, you gotta be good with the development there. Sure. And like you never know, you talk about life experiences. Todd Downing, who when I was the coordinator, he was the Titan coach and he goes to Iowa to work out Hawkinson and Phant. And Hesse is kind of working both. He jumps in there, like him, bring him in for a look. Most guys that hung around, come up the hard way and he's made a lot of improvement. But Parker's a cool store. Iowa team captain, love the way he is approached with the game and excited at Parker's here. Who said fourth year he's feeling natural? Yeah, it's a lot of work. I mean, he went from being a D-Lieman at a really good program that's had a lot of success on defense and some programs, it means more when you're the captain and for him to switch positions, I think you talk about circumstance and chance, Todd just throws him in the workout, like him, you may strike out, post draft and you say, here's a guy, let's try him out. And then the other thing, he got a ton of reps. We had a lot of guys in the yellow jerseys that spring, so he took a million reps and you saw the climb. And he bounced a practice squad here and there, had an opportunity to bring him in Atlanta. Excited, where's that? Is that the individual workout for the others? It was a pro day, I believe. I believe it was a pro day. Sure, very serious. I'm still waiting, I think I've made him laugh once. So it's very serious. It wasn't anything inappropriate, but it took a lot of work. They got cracked a half a smile. That's what I got out of them.
