 Um, you know, before I let you go, Teresa, just want to, you know, obviously on behalf of, you know, our owner or an organization, our football team, staff, myself, John, everybody included. Just, just express our condolences to Virginia, the Madden family, the Raider family, the NFL family. You know, I personally, um, very, very, very sad and disappointed. You know, Coach Madden was, um, you know, I got to be a part of this small subcommittee just for a brief amount of time. And he would, um, he'd always send text messages, um, of encouragement. And I found that to be, um, really refreshing, um, helped me personally, you know, after, after losses or things that you second guess. Um, I would also say that, um, something that was extremely important to him was the care that the former players received. And that was a huge mission of his, uh, through that subcommittee, was finding ways to, to make the game better, but safer, and also continue to take care of those former players because he loved his players. And that was evident in the way that they played for him. So, you know, hopefully, uh, we can, we can carry on that, that legacy that he had of trying to take care of, um, you know, those former players that he loved so dearly. Mike, with the changes in the, and the COVID protocols, do you do anything different, uh, maybe protect a quarterback or something as you go into these? Well, we're hopeful that, um, that what we have set up, you know, the setup that we have in the bubble and, and the distance. We're asking everybody to wear masks inside. And, um, and everybody's very conscious, um, of it. And we're very aware of what's going on. Appreciate everybody, uh, working together as a team from, from our training staff, our medical staff, our players, coaches, you know, just to try to do everything that, that's right for this football team. Are you approaching it like how you did before, as far as like a quarantine quarterback setup? Um, no, I mean, they're here, they're here in the building, but I mean, again, we've got ample space now. You know, I mean, we've got, you know, the bubble, you know, that's a great setup in there. You know, we have a, a massive team meeting room, you know, that you have just a few people in. And so we're, we're very conscious of, of making sure that everybody is, is more than adequately spaced out from your time with him. And then what have you thought about his, his teams and the way they play? Well, obviously B flow, you kind of know right away. And you try to reflect upon, you know, when you first come in contact with, with different people. And again, Jim, you've been in this league longer than I have or been around it and then everything comes full circle. And now, and, you know, B flow started as a, you know, a scouting assistant and, you know, and then he'd helped on special teams and, you know, so he was around, we knew him, he was young, he was smart, could recognize early on that he was going to have a bright future in coaching. And in his teams reflect, you know, a lot of those things that we learned when I was a player in New England. And he was, he was in a coach or in scouting there. So, you know, they, they rarely beat themselves. They're very good defensively. They're very good technique when you watch and you study the technique. Those are all things that, you know, we believe in here. Up to a, as a shorter guy that allows him to avoid getting balls batted down the line. I think one defensive lineman's batted down a ball. We've been trying to study it ourselves, Paul. And I think that he climbs the pocket. I think he is quick. And I think that our court, you know, our quarterback coach would call it twitchy. I think he's very twitchy to be able to redirect and he's got a quick release. Yeah, that's, you know, maybe guys are matching with the wrong hand. And, you know, I mean, he's left-handed. So, man, that was, that was my theory. I don't know if that's going to hold true, but we'll have to practice that, you know, where you're normally matching with the other hand as the ball's traveling through. But he does a really nice job of, of climbing the pocket and finding those throwing lanes. They're able to get so much pressure without having to blitz. What do you make of it? Well, they do blitz. They do indeed blitz. But, you know, they're, they're disruptive. You know, they play the run and then transition quickly. You know, obviously the, the edge guys, Agba, Phillips, because those are guys that are tough to handle. They're long, they're fast. You know, they'll bring, you know, Baker. You know, they'll bring, you know, Jones. And, you know, they do a great job, obviously, in coverage with the guys they have. But, you know, with Howard and Jones out there, really just playing sound, square, physical, you know, it's, you know, we have to be careful when we throw it their direction. Your love for, for Ryan, the kind of toughness he embodies, as he faces his old team, I guess, how would you maybe assess the impact he's had on this franchise, on and off the field, since he's, since he kind of first arrived in. Well, I mean, I think the focus is on this week. The focus is on the dolphins that, you know, the reflection, you know, we want our, we want Ryan to be our quarterback for a long time. And so, you know, I know he's focused on this week. That's where my focus is. That's where our football team's focus has to be, is how are we going to, you know, be able to execute the keys and taking care of the football, you know, converting on third down, recognizing pressure, being able to pick up guys from all over the place. How are we going to be able to execute our first, second down offense? So, you know, that's what Ryan's focus is on, and that's where my focus is. Dane's skill set. So good when you guys go with those tight end packages and kind of how was that idea born, I guess? Well, I think Dane, when John and I evaluated Dane, you know, he was a big guy that played multiple positions in college, didn't stick at one for very long, probably out of necessity. He played nickel. He played boundary corner, you know, and we felt like, you know, he could be, you know, a good special teams player, a very good special teams player. He's fast, he was big, he's strong, and you know, wasn't afraid of contact, and you know, we've seen him, you know, do a nice job for us on special teams, and then the more that we wanted to try to give him a role and develop him more as a safety, then, you know, things happen, you know, the injuries have happened, and you know, so when he gets, when he's there and he's available, we just, you know, try to give him everything that he can handle, and that we felt like in those particular games, that was something that his skill set allowed for, and you know, it was a good role for him to execute. We'll see where it is this week. The dangerous weapon for them, other than the fact that you line them up all over the places of all the return game. Well, he, he's got explosive speed, so I think you have to honor that. I think he's a decisive route runner. I think that he adjusts to the ball well, you know, for somebody that isn't like, maybe the length of Giseki, you know, he can go, you know, from full speed to be able to throttle down and come back and try to make the quarterback right. I don't see him fighting the football at all. They ask a lot of them, you know, they move them around and week to week, so that's a credit to him to be able to study and to prepare and to get, you know, get lined up in different spots. I know how difficult that can be for any player, especially a young one. Let's kick the swarming into this new gear the last couple of weeks. I don't know. You know, I mean, I think, I thought initially that the rest, you know, I mean, I do, I think that some of these guys that have played, you know, I mean, Kevin Byrd's played a lot of snaps for us. Harold's played a lot of snaps. Jeff's played a lot of snaps, right? So, you know, maybe a combination of getting some guys back, a combination of being sure and understanding and actually seeing that this kind of does work, you know, I mean, instead of being an innocent bystander, we had some of those, some of those on, you know, Thursday, where you can't count on any one guy making a tackle in this league. These players are too good, too explosive, too strong with the football. So, you know, we have to continue to work that. We have to continue to preach it and show them, you know, what it looks like when it's done properly. And that's, that's just really how you, how you should play defensive football. Nick Juan Jones, that's kind of shown you what kind of impact he's been able to make over the last few games. The first thing is he plays hard. That was the first determining fact. That was his redeeming quality as he played hard. He ran his fat ass to the ball. And that's what he did. And so that gave him more opportunity. And then he started to work on technique and understanding of what was going on and just continued, you know, to improve. So that would be the first thing is that he ran to the ball. And that was what noticed, you know, got him noticed. Mike, on Monday, I think Flores said that when he started, I think as an assistant there in New England, that you almost coached him more than he was coaching you. How, what do you remember of that? Not much, but I know that that was, I'm sure, tongue in cheek. You know, Brian, Brian is very intelligent. I have continued to balance ideas off of him, even though we're obviously competitors. But, you know, in the offseason, you know, there's things that, you know, there's guys that you trust in this league. And I would say that, that B flow would be one of those guys that I would certainly trust and call a friend. Haven't been one of the defensive players that got the opportunity to catch touchdowns. What do you think of Christian Fulton? Excuse me, Wilkins and how they changed him. Yeah, I actually go back with Christian, you know what I mean? Was that his school and in high school? And so we've actually stayed in contact and he'll send me random texts, or I'll text him in the offseason, because, you know, he was recruiting defensive linemen for Ohio State. So, and he went to school outside of Boston and, you know, Connecticut. And he's very athletic, very athletic. And that doesn't surprise me at all that they ask him to do that role. He's really good. Transitioning in the pass rush inside. He can, he runs games. He can penetrate. And he also, you know, can, you know, execute whatever they're asking him to do up front as well. COVID list to practice tonight? Taylor, I'm sorry. Yeah, Taylor Lawan is back and expected to be at practice. About December football, and now we're reaching the two final games in the regular season, what have you liked the most out of the second half of the season? And considering you have had some guys back, it probably has made it a little bit easier. But just the rallying of this group just continues to have that mindset. I mean, I think they come in. I think that there's a consistency, you know, obviously there's, there's things that we have to take, you know, take care of the football. I think that's, that's been the biggest thing you know, we can all clearly see that. But I think that there's been a resolve to really say, you know, we want to just now start our season, which we talked about a couple weeks ago, we're two and one at that point in time. I would imagine that David will, you know, try to get some work in. We'll see, you know, on a limited basis, I would imagine. Jeff's tide for the lead tackles amongst defensive linemen. What's that mean when a defensive lineman's getting to the ball? I think the first thing you try to ask those guys to do is to make the plays that they're supposed to make. You know, I always enjoy, you know, defensive linemen making tackles, but what you don't want them to do is sit there and play peek-a-boo where, you know, they're in the B gap, they're in the A gap, they're in the B gap, and the guys behind them don't know where they're going to be. So I think that's the first thing that we want them to do, which he does. And then he runs the football, and he chases the football, and, you know, extremely hard. I think that that's something he takes pride in. But then he has 40, I think it's like 40 solo tackles. This seems like a high number for a defensive tackle. What is behind it? Is that... I think some of the technique, I really think some of the technique, you know, I think that, you know, there's no secret that there's going to be some holding that goes on on the interior of the offensive line. And so, which is fine, we all understand that. But when Jeff plays with technique, that gives him extension and separation and allows him to shed and not get grabbed or tied up as the running backs going through. So I think that's been the biggest thing in his, you know, just this season and what's something I've recognized. It hasn't been like he's played any harder. It's just that he is, you know, playing with good technique and, you know, playing with his hands. And out of David Kessenberry this year for you guys at Wright-Tacklehouse, he kind of handled that spot. Well, he battles. He competes. He's been there ever, you know, his availability and durability. You know, it's been something that I always admire, you know, he battles not without mistake, like everybody else. But, you know, it's been, he's been very steady for us. And, you know, we've got to continue to find ways to help him against, you know, premier rushers. Can I just come off the COVID list? Are there extra conditioning things or that you have to monitor and make sure that they're past before they're activated or anything like that? Yeah, I mean, I think that that's our duty as a team, as a medical staff to make sure that it's not just five days and rolling out there. I mean, every case that, you know, I've seen is different somehow. So I think that we owe it to the players and that's what we always have done is to make sure that they're physically capable of going out there and doing their job and not just saying, well, you know, five days, go back out there. It was in Miami that long day and tonight. Nice to have how different, obviously, the situations. But do you have flashbacks, bad memories from that day? You just try to ignore that that day ever existed? You know, I mean, you never forget your first game, but, you know, I haven't thought too much about it.
