 Before we get started here, I just want to say a quick thing. Just for speaking on behalf of the line of falcons that we send our thoughts and our prayers with tomorrow Hamlin and his family and the entire Bill's organization. We're praying for them. And when you see something like that happen, obviously it puts a lot of things in life and perspective. So just wanted to make sure that Bill's know, DeMar and his family, most importantly, that we're thinking about them and praying for them. How do you address that with your team? Michael, there's a lot of things that go on in life we talk about behind closed doors privately. And just like the time things come up that you need to talk about that are about nothing may not be your normal football meeting, we talk about them. I guess I ask that because you've talked a lot this year about life situations, this is one that's a life and football situation. So I wasn't sure whether the conversation ends up being a little bit different because it's. Yeah, I just, Michael, those are things that we talk about privately. And there's everything we acknowledge, things that go on inside the building, outside the building. We'll always talk to them because we care about our players as people first. So those are things that things like this happen. Certainly you'll talk about it. There's other things that we talk about too, share our private conversations. Players can speak for themselves. Why do you process it as a coach? Well, everybody, it says a person, Michael. So I can't speak for any other coach. I can only speak for myself. There's a lot of things you process when you see something that out on the open, what you want to call traumatic. But everybody's got different ways they deal with things, Mike. So I've never thought there's some blueprint that this is what you have to do. Everybody has different emotions. And that's been my experience. I guess what I'm getting at is how did you as a person? Yeah, Mike. I just, like other things, Michael, go into more details about my private thoughts or things I address privately with the team. That's just not who I am. It doesn't make me any better or worse. This is how I deal with things. Did you get a sense of the state of the mind of the team or the emotional state of the team or during your conversations? Yeah. I don't want to talk to you. No, it was just questions. You guys have the open locker room that I think are better for everybody to speak for themselves. How tough was it to do that and give you what happened, the gravity of the situation? Well, I think you've acknowledged life. I mean, there's more to life than football. And sometimes you get so focused on your craft or your job that you lose perspective. So when things happen, it shouldn't take something like this to make you think about perspective. But certainly, those are things you've acknowledged. And we talk about all the time, so. Did you get any communication from the league this week about how to proceed or do you? In terms of what? In terms of if everything was on a normal schedule. Yeah, I mean, obviously, you ask those questions to make sure that everything I've been told, by Sunday at 1 o'clock, that was our anything else that you know, I'm not sitting there like there's things you're privy to, things you're not. But when it came to this week and planning and what the schedule is going to be, that's what you ask. But everything I've been told, by 1 o'clock Sunday. Outside of your normal support services that are here all the time did you add a layer to that or will you add a layer to that? And every team has different ways, as you saw with the league put out yesterday. We have our own process. I mean, those are anything that they need is always available. Josh. Do you know if the team would be doing anything to honor and when this family had the games on it? Look, I haven't. In terms of that, everybody can, again, they have different ways people want to honor. And that's personal to some people. And I mean, you can see the support from the league that's been pretty inspiring. But guys that they can honor in their own personal way and however they do it that doesn't make anybody better or worse. Somebody very open about it. Some people are private. That's why I've never put a lot of thought into it. It's nice when you see public gestures, but doesn't make that person any better than the person that maybe internalizes things and you don't know that person's history and things that have been in their life. So I don't judge off of social media opposed or somebody writes in their cleats, something on their cleats. I think it's great when people do it, but also don't judge anybody that doesn't either. You said it's inspiring to see the league, not just fans, but teams and players and coaches come together over the past 48 hours. I mean, just from your perspective, what do you think that's meant to, I guess, the league at large, to see that type of coming? Which other people care. It's a competitive business. We know that. Sometimes you can lose perspective, but these players, these coaches, the people that work in this league, they care. They do. And so I think that's why it's inspiring. I think sometimes it gets lost in the day-to-day narratives of storytelling about the league and about the game itself. Obviously you do have a game on Sunday, but how difficult is it to focus on football right now? Well, there are a lot of things that happen outside. And this one, obviously, very, very public and impacts a lot of people and impacts people's family. But there's other things that can really impact you. You may never even know what somebody's going through, and they may have something going on inside their life. There's a lot of things all the time that may happen that go on, and when you go back into your work mode, I mean, it's not lost on you about what's going on. But I think our guys understand and then we'll go out there and practice today and try to get into a routine. But it doesn't mean that we lack empathy or don't acknowledge anything else that's going on outside of this building. I know you have a game left, but that's kind of a big picture of the question. What have you and Terry learned about building process these two years, whether it's about the process or about players you have here? Yeah, Jeff, it's been a very unique situation to say the least. There's not one. I mean, you look at things in different models that I've brought up at different time, but no two situations are the same. Just different things that go on, and it's certainly been unusual, I would think, from most people when they get there. And you do learn a lot that first year as you transition. Some of the hand are dealt, but you can really add what you can't. Trying to change a climate culture that work is still not a lot that I think you see that build. And then I remember I said here in the last year, Michael, I think you've asked me, and I said, hey, there's going to be another lot of roster turnover. It didn't mean that we had a lot of money to spend either. It was just the practical nature of it, just there certainly was. So this was completely different team, too. So it was like year one, it was a transition, but we were still better in certain spots, guys that were on one-year deals and some rookies. And then this year, it was a lot younger team, and we made kind of the second transition. So I think you're seeing more of the foundation now, Jeff, guys after two years. And there'll be a lot of things that open up that we haven't had in the off season, things that we've got to strategically plan ahead, and which we have. And it'll certainly be different going on this year than any other off season we've had. But we feel the foundation is strong. The habits, a lot of the young guys we've invested in, I think all that stuff's been positive. Yeah, people take a look at just one lost record. Sure. Which is part of it. And then certainly, Jeff, when you set expectations and you put everything you got to try to go win a division and the guys have, and there's multiple reasons. We came up short in a few games. And so the reality of our situation is now we've got one game left, and we want to finish this right. But I'll never apologize or forever set expectations high. I mean, that's our job, no different one I've told you. Trying to win. And we certainly have done that this year. And I've obviously came up a few short to keep playing. Do you feel like you'll almost be able to breathe a little bit after the season? You'll have a lot more space. Maybe kind of do some more things that you want to do? Or should that kind of thing go up? I don't know. I mean, that's there's no way to put it. I think no matter what your situation is, and I would say you know what you signed up for and the expectations. But I do believe in our process. And I think we've tried to be consistent. We've adapted when you have to. I think that's important. And circumstances can change just like that. Things have happened, you guys, that have covered this game a long time. And certainly the last two years know there's some things that are in your control, some things that are in your control. Are you able to adapt? And I think we have. Certainly don't claim that we're perfect in any way now. But please, breathe. I don't know, Jeff, but certainly I'm excited about it. You and Terry were clear with the owner, Ryan, and vice versa, Rich, about this is going to take a while. Well, I think everything was pretty direct when we got hired and how we were going to go about it. And certain things I said, we've had to pivot for different reasons, and which I think you should in any smart organization. But we have a vision. And we've gone about it in a long, hard way. And whatever obstacle we've tried, we've tried to take advantage of it. And there's very good direct communication. If there wasn't, you know, it'd be like a lot of things in this sports with a lot of drama and whatnot. But I'm thankful for the leadership team we have here and to work with these guys. When back and looked at the Seattle rebuild, you mentioned those two years. They go from House of Back Jackson and then get land with Russell, build out the defense. Are there some more parallels to be drawn to? Sure. San Francisco. Look at what John did out there. There's a lot of things. I mean, again, when you're building, you're going through a transition. You're trying to get the right, whatever your schemes are, and that's what makes this job go around. I mean, it's what makes this game interesting. There are a lot of different ways out of schemes and styles. But if you can consistently and you can hit on the right people to bring in to play that style and then sometimes it does take a little bit of luck, maybe where your draft pick was, where you get to take somebody that somebody else didn't take in front of you and that can help build too. But there was a foundation and a style, and it came through. And you saw them take off. I mean, there's a lot of other examples as well. Yeah. San Francisco, you mentioned that one over. Yeah, same thing. I mean, as Kyle, as they went through the transition in those first two years, and then you saw them, and then their identities, and they added some other pieces if you go back and look at that 19 draft that really helped as well. But they laid a good foundation. You can see it when you played them. When I was in Tennessee, we went out there right after. They had made that late season trade with Jimmy Garoppolo. And we played them late in the year. You could see it. There was a style they played with. So that was obvious. You had mentioned, like I'd asked you, I guess a year ago about roster turnover and changes. You say you have more foundation down. Do you anticipate it being as, I won't say wholesale, but as heavy of a roster turnover this year as you did last time? That's kind of subjective when you're talking about heavy. I mean, there's a lot of things we feel good about with some of the younger players. There are players that we feel have earned another contract. And those are all the decisions you continue to see as they get closer to the New League year when this season wraps up. But I don't know about heavy, but certainly it'll be different. And it always is. I mean, I said it before, like what you call it, rebuild or transition, whatever you want to. There's going to be turnover every year. It's just the nature of this business. In terms of just guys this week, is anybody coming back? Is anybody definitely not? You won't see Elijah out there at practice today. Felipe is still going through the protocol. We ramp him up a little bit today. See what it looks like as the week goes on. Now, I think everybody else will be on the interview report, but you should see them all out there. Including you, right? That's fine. Yeah, if you want to see them out there, I would tell you like Elijah. Big quote, so game lines. What are the problems that Evans and Gottlin present? Looks like they're leaning on them last week in that Carolina game. Yeah, they've both been terrific players for a while down there in Tampa. And then the game on Sunday, they kept chipping away. And they made some big plays. Mike Evans, especially, made some good plays down the field one-on-one. And they were able to chip away and come up Carolina had control of that game for a while. And then Tampa made the plays in the 4-quarter. They came out with a win. How big would it be for a reader to play? This would probably be the best defense he's seen, based on the rankings and stuff like that. Yeah, I mean, look, there's some pretty good defense. We just played, too. So I think New Orleans, pretty damn good defense. Put Baltimore up there. In Arizona, those guys would bring it up front. They threw a lot of different things at them. And we'll have different challenges this week in another veteran group. And yeah, that's a fun part, D-Led. Every week's the challenge. And this will be the one at home.
