 All right guys go ahead and get ready with sir Arthur Smith Michael if you want to kick it off Sure, how much sleep you get? You know I screwed up because I Slept on the plane and then we landed here is about 12 30 and I was wired till like 3 30 in the morning So it's been all broken, but Certainly makes a lot easier making that trip when you get a win. Oh, you're done for a week So I'm curious about your red zone efficiency really after that first week. It's it's been pretty Strong, I think you guys like fourth in the NFL and touch the resident touchdown efficiency What is it in your philosophy in your? offense that makes that such a Paramount thing and such and something that you guys are so good at Well, it's a combination of a lot of things. I think I think all our guys Know they get the ball at any time. I said we're not an isolation Basketball team so it's not like you can just go down there and say hey, let's double the stars I think naturally there's a natural progression that happens We guys and you know end up Usually your better players emerge and they'll end up getting more touchdowns But we really feel like all our guys that they know that they're they're viable options. So I think that's one thing that helps We've evolved You know, we're a lot different than we were in Tennessee So I think I think that you're seeing a week over week as we get a feel for this team and they get a feel for us I think there's a there's been a natural evolution and it's starting to pay off And we just you know hope to keep going so we don't have any setbacks when we come back and get ready to play Miami and With Fabian Miro, is there any update there along with Ridley engage and no Your guys Well, you know the guys a little dinged up yesterday I mean there, you know, whether to get an MRI or still getting checked up by our doctors Obviously, we didn't come in as early today coming off that trip. So I'm up in there I'd imagine it'd be trending more positive towards Russell and Marlon again. I that'll be No more by midweek those guys, but I would expect some kind of positive progression there Josh Andrews, you know, we gotta make a decision at the end of the week, but he's been trying to the right direction So we'll evaluate that at the end of the week Josh Arthur is there a way to quantify The position you and this offense are in with a 14-year veteran at quarterback versus the position You or anybody might be in with a rookie at quarterback and how different those experiences are Yeah, I it obviously helps Josh You can't replace that experience, you know, there's just things that Guys see I mean, it's thought you know down that hill It's the hardest position to play in all professional sports though the amount of this Things that come at these guys and how quick and all the variables and football that makes what makes the game so great And in that position, I mean Holy hell, I mean the looks that they get what you ask guys to do protection The amount that you can put on their plate It's certainly a lot easier with a veteran. Is that a lot of experience now? There's a natural as you can you can see with us It's as Matt and I've gone through games and I've gone on record and said that there would be a natural evolution because it's like a New marriage so to speak I guess So really pleased about Matt's plan, but yes, certainly Josh. It gives you an advantage. I think where are you? Where are you and Matt on that scale of? Comfortability, I mean if you started at zero and a hundred is some mythical nirvana. Where are you? That's a say 70% probably Scott hey coach Do you think that your that your offensive line has kind of taken that next step forward and and if so in What ways can you see that play out on on Sunday? Sure? I mean, I think the more it's a young group other than Jake coming into this year Wouldn't like any like none of those guys are real salty vets over there McGarry and Lindstrom and you know Henny and then obviously when we play jail in hurley and that's why it's hard to do in the moment But you got to have perspective and these guys are doing a good job week of a week. They're proven I thought they played really well yesterday. It's never gonna be perfect. There's always things we got to clean up But when you go out there and and play like they did yesterday It was pretty is pretty awesome to watch I mean, it's but I think everything tells you about culture and what you'll how these guys, you know The style we want to play as you watch that last Mike Davis touchdown That was pretty cool to watch You guys have put up 57 points over the last two weeks. Is there any key to that kind of surge and in scoring volume? I Just you know, I so I think we're getting better week to week. I get you know, we're naturally evolving You know, we you know, there's certain ways you got to play different week certain weeks But I think there's either getting more comfortable I think guys are getting more confident and hopefully we keep building on that I mean what I what I feel is we should score more Scott I mean, I'm not real happy about the two turnovers in the red zone And then it just seems like you had so that your guys had so much Adversity during the week that you had Calvin kind of unavailable late You had the travel you had the the end of that Washington game How did you guys kind of just move on from that? Was that maybe just natural or it just seems like you guys were able to Respond so well. How are you guys able to do that is my question Because you don't sit there and complain about things you can't control. That's a mindset thing We don't want soft souls around here things are gonna happen. Scott. I mean, that's that's the thing And if you sit there and I sit there and worry about what I can't control I'm useless. So, you know, it's mentality That's why I really like working with these guys and Things are gonna come up and continue to come up and we've got to adapt and we've got to be able to handle it Maybe don't you know, I could sit here and cry and lower expectations But that's not what we're gonna do and we're not gonna be perfect We don't think we got all the answers but tell you this much. We're not gonna sit there and want about what we can't control George Yeah, hard as you get into your more than a quarter of the way through the season You did mention the two fumbles in the red zone What are some things that you go into this by week that you're concerned about that you want to get corrected George? I don't look at it like a concern. It's like, what are things that you think you've got to objectively look I count kind of a sober-minded approach George where you got to say, hey, what can we fix? Because you have to we have to keep and prove it Just because you won a game doesn't mean all of a sudden now you've got all the answers because you see what's coming Where what are our issues? What do we need to clean up because this is gonna be a this is gonna be a problem for us If we don't so I don't look at concern. I think it's more of it. I'm objective. What can we can correct? So these something doesn't turn into a continuous issue for us That's just a different way to look at but that's reality. I just you got to take an objective sober-minded approach Thank you Michael Yeah, what so what is your plan for the every coach does it differently, right? Like what is your plan for this week, especially with it being so early in a year? Well, good. We'll get some work in tomorrow Wednesday You know, we'll ask these guys a couple things. We'll look at give them a few days off Come back Monday with a bonus practice day and get ready for Miami Maybe when you look back, I mean, I'm guessing you're gonna do some self-scouting this week as well But is there something about this team that surprised you over the first five games? I don't think it's surprised me You know, I just hope we continue to get better and that's that's really the name of the game I know it sounds like a broken record, but that's the truth that that I believe we have You know, sometimes it's like a game of whack-a-mole, you know, you're dealing here And then you got an issue over here. You get a fix and that's nature of the job But I think as a team, I think we're continuing to grow We just got to continue in the right direction Thanks Josh any falls You might have said and I just missed it, but do you have any any indication when Calvin will be back? They could day by day Josh, you know, it's like every everybody of this team. There's things that come up Injuries and other things in circumstances. So We'll continue to monitor at all, but I don't put a timetable on the injuries because you just never know Scott any falls? Yeah, you you mentioned it after the game yesterday. Just how much how much kind of Contributions that you've gotten from members of this of this 2021 NFL draft class obviously beyond pits Like what have you seen from those guys? Is that just kind of natural evolution and what what have you seen from that? Yeah, I think you're seeing guys that are contributing or helping us win I think the leaders are our team have done a good job It's a strong locker room these guys. It's why we played them all in the preseason You know, that was by design because you know at some point you're gonna need these guys and Some of them, you know got expedited more than others. You look at Mayfield And I don't think it's any secret. We knew pits was gonna we were gonna rely on pits pretty early You know, assuming that he was trending the right way and camp which he was And the rest of these guys, you know, they've stepped up when the numbers been called And that's that's all and we've got some contributions from the UDFA so Please with the rookies, you know Trick is, you know, now some of them got their feet wet and they realize how long a season is I mean, we come back. We got 12 games And that's a whole college regular season right now in front of them. So we got a handle to buy. Well We come back and make sure these guys are continue to trend in the right direction George any follow-ups on your end? I'm fine. Thank you. All right, nothing else appreciate you guys Thanks
