 Don't know it ain't looks really bad. I guess at some point I gotta show you, right? Hopefully you guys will let me know Yeah, she's pretty pretty honest She used to be a reporter All right Yeah, there's a lot of things the lead that you know, it's we got 14 games to go right? It's a long season and it is good to get the First win, but we got a long ways to go. We got to improve. That's the name of the game And that's gonna be our theme, you know, what do we need to improve? From the top down, you know everything we look at and evaluate you got to be objective and then you know To the players credit show them why we end up winning that game, you know what we did at the end and all three phases playing together guys stepped up and Really happy for those guys. So we got the win, but you know, we got to move on to Washington now Yeah, sure the one yeah the one that you like that, huh? So, you know some of them in a stash, you know, I don't say that to be the meaning. It's just you know It's a lot of it when guys don't get involved early. It's a combination of things is it on them as a schematics Is it what the defense is doing? But ultimately like guys like Tajid and Kyle, you know, everybody wants to touch the ball and sure we look at things What can we do better and the players, you know what they can do better? But guys that step up in key moments, you know, Tajid caught a big third down, you know, I thought OZ Played pretty well, you know, Lee Smith does a lot of stuff kind of the unsung hero and a lot of things You know, he came through big down there in the goal line, so Those some of the guys offensively key Smith has a big role. He does a lot of the dirty work things that people will never notice You know special teams we talked about the kicking game Got like Josh Harris, you know, those guys are just super dependable Brandon Copeland the guys you trust on the punt team So CP as a gunner. I mean, that's pretty well documented, but he made some plays as well And then defensively, you know, I say Oliver's playing really really strong really sound within the scheme He's reliable. I think he's taking that role on well as the nickel in there So, you know a lot of these guys are You know Fowler and he continues to make big plays and big moments. That's good to see great He's always he goes 100 miles an hour. He's disruptive run and pass so Eric Harris those guys, you know, he's a true pro So those are some of the guys that he let in I know I'm forgetting some but there's a lot of these guys and it was good to see Yeah Yeah, he's a real leader obviously he's still effective it's one thing to be a leader But if you can't be effective and it's hard, you know, it doesn't mean as much but Yeah, he does a nice job. We ask him to do, you know extra things It's good that he doesn't have to report down there and go on so that helps He actually scored the same play that Dennis Kelly scored on the differences We didn't you know, he may look like he needs to but he 85 didn't have to report So he's dependable Brings a lot of toughness smart player Yeah, it's it's a true test of mental toughness I don't think unless you go through struggle or until you're tested and it's perfect in this profession, you know as a player and a coach Certainly, it's it's nice when everything's going your way But you find out a lot about yourself and what you really believe in if you can stay with the process and You know, you look to obviously improve and adapt but You don't need to just fly off the handle when it's early and you got it Like I said, you're gonna have that tunnel vision and continue to grow And I think when it comes down to be able to grind out drives if people want to play you and really soft zone coverage You know try to take away some some of the deep three level throws or whatever they're trying to do They don't think you have the will to grind out those drives. Hey, you won't you won't be patient some point You'll get greedy. I Think that's what Matt Ryan. That's an underrated quality because of the way some of the things the way people are trying to play He will go through. He will make the right play Doesn't panic and tries to force one that's just not there So that's an underrated Approach there's certainly things that we can do better clearly as an offense and everybody But that those are the underrated things that people don't think you'll actually take what they give you all the way down the field Because we there's things that we think that he may be able to add and He's a good football player and there's things that we maybe there's something this week or maybe in the future It's good to get his feet wet. We tried something. They did a nice job playing it They you know, they brought the pressure off the open side and they got us on the count and they bubbled it back and they made a play And he made a sound decision a lot of times you put the ball in your hands and a guy pulls it when he doesn't need to and but Felipe continues to improve like we're going with quarterback But we think athletically there may be something he can give us at other positions And we're always going to look to if there's somebody on the roster that can help us we'll try You're not Yeah, I think I think there's certainly it's worth trying, you know the opportunity Said he played a couple snaps at different spots and we'll see if it grows and we had to evaluate that but Yeah, he's a hell of an athlete I Not not necessarily it kind of evolved like that So, you know, I think you know New Orleans kind of set the stage for everybody and every there's you know Everybody's been looking for that type and you see some people trying to You know situation with football they may you know, they got a running quarterback on the roster they put him out there But they're only in that role. Taysum is the only guy that I've seen that truly can play multiple spots He runs routes. Well, obviously he can move the football running zone read play action There's not a lot that he doesn't do so You know, we'll see we'll continue to kind of kick the tires on it see if it gives us anything But it's a credit to Felipe because Felipe's worked really hard about trying to become a professional quarterback and does a lot of work behind the scenes So, you know, he got out of his comfort zone a little bit and we'll see where it goes Sure I Yeah, you just talked to him say hey look there's something I think I want to try Kind of kick the tires on in practice. Yeah a few weeks ago and it's kind of worked a couple things and thought he was ready And just told him, you know, you want to help us win This would be a good way to get your feet wet and that has nothing to do with your quarterback progression But there's something there and we think it can help us and help us move the football and and when we'll try In Yeah, it certainly helps because you're trying to bring you got guys at different levels of career I we got all the young guys we bought in we got the guys in kind of the middle part Here and we added some veterans and these guys on the sideline, you know You it been through it that help the Matt the least miss the Cornell Patterson's Eric carries the Toronto Harman's like You know, they've been through it enough. They've seen it all and they can kind of help you push through when and Keep the the energy keep the Going so when you know, they know how hard these games and most these games do come down one possession It was probably just the taking another step, you know The defense didn't flinch and they hit a play. I made an NFL play On the sideline the first drive the Giants had and good throw good catch They didn't panic Grady made a big play kind of sack. They slipped to him beat the guy right away And we made him kick a field goal, you know, you don't obviously want to get down when they do You know, that was an improvement. So that was one play that kind of showed. Hey, we've made it made a step And then really can't hit in the pump before the half Defense, you know, they made a play. They got called for OPI. I believe And then they made the play try to throw it Kind of into the alley there and we were zone and he breaks it up and then they punt it and we were able to convert OZ made a big catch and then we were able to get into the end zone and then Don't like how we handle the situation, but we can improve on that. We get the ball back That's something to learn from but then lastly it was at the end of the game really at all three phases we Played together Took a long drive. I think we started the drive early the fourth quarter twelve and some change I believe kind of have one of those long methodical drives. It was gonna get interesting, too You know, if you we don't convert You know, don't get the excuse me the DPI penalty get the first and goal in the one You know, you got to make a decision to go forward or to say hey You got three times though. Those are interesting. That's what you're thinking. So you're calling plays You're also thinking hey, okay, we have to four down. What do you know? Here's what we're gonna do. So Converted Cam banged the ball back, you know executed the game plan defense didn't flinch, you know Fabian got called for one kind of a bang bang and right at the 50 Avery Williams comes in because Zays cramping he bats a ball down You'd like to see that thing that stuff happens second down here comes Fowler Smokes it off the edge strip sack They recover to climb the penalty Then you get the you know, they don't chip screen over to the far side Deion goes in there makes a play and they got a pun it we get the ball back CP takes it You know now you're working with it. You got three timeouts you're playing the game You need to get in the field of range, but also trying to milk the clock second down pits hits the corner out and Then it's all cool from there So it was really cool because that shows out in phases guys in the flinch you go down 14-7 and kind of a What called it ugly game? I guess the result was pretty to us, but you know, maybe not aesthetically pleasing for the fans But we grinded it out and that was good to see Yeah, yeah, it's not about me it's about about the guys in there all everybody a part of this thing and You're trying that we're trying to build something here and In the way we want to run things culturally and we're really happy for those guys And so now the trick is can we take another step, you know, I don't have any nostalgia about it Kind of just practicality just Okay, what can we do to improve? Let's let's get ready to go play Washington You're able to practice them so we'll just kind of see Wednesday where they're at and so whether they're ready to practice and then move out to make a decision We got you know some time to make a decision Again, we're just going to continue to evaluate that and we'll see where he's at come Wednesday Yeah Yeah, I mean that's something in the offseason I mean it's really You know Dean and hope they kind of had a vision for them where they thought they could play You know schematically You know much different what we're doing really everywhere that's not a knock on anybody Like I said, it's just you know, you want to build it and this is the vision And this is what I tried to sell when they hired me and so When you're changing schemes like that you gotta try to find okay, this guy doesn't fit this maybe he can fit here And so really it was the same role that Logan Ryan had for Dean and and brave in Tennessee and say he's kind of He's taking that on smart. He's instinctual If you're gonna play, you know the nickel and this defense you got to be a willing tackler, too He's also Really, it's you know, there's a lot of ways can just if you're gonna Play you gotta play in the whole scheme and where everybody fits in all 11 a lot of times when You've been tagged as a DPR, right? You're just a pastoral specialist, you know a lot of those guys You know can confuse themselves as independent contractors That's not what Dante is. It's not how he's made up and I think he's starting to see the vision There were some things that we didn't like with our rush lanes in week one You know, sometimes you get rewarded just running around and you may fall into a sack great But you really screwed up the rush lanes and you know, it all goes together where I think you think Dante's biggest growth is he's playing This is a huge credit to him. I've enjoyed working with Dante and these guys are playing together and when his number was called You know a lot of it's the plays that he may not make but he's playing within the scheme and his efforts been phenomenal I think there's a little there's a play last week against Tampa the games over. We're all frustrated And he you know, he rushes it comes down and makes a stop gets him before down and we stop them for down And that says a lot about his character Yeah, I think AJ is doing pretty well, but again, we got to see will be cautious, you know, there's there's still some steps He's got to go in the protocol And that's not being evasive that's just part of the protocol would be in smart there, but you know He's got a chance and Russell him and Darby both will again those will be things we'll see we'll talk tomorrow night about where they're at They're getting close And We're gonna make that decision tomorrow. Yeah, we have a stabbing on Tuesday afternoons. We think they're close Again, not being evasive, but we don't make those final call to the more afternoon Yeah Yeah Yeah, no, he's making an impact and it's fun to work with guys like that How'd you be creative? He can handle it. You know, we named him our player the game on offense. He's made a huge impact He was a game captain this past week. Just really enjoyed getting to work with CP and just see where it goes from here They're talking about the defense I Appreciate it. I appreciate the the jazz back and forth You can talk scheme you can talk scheme all day. I would never Try to squash that No, I like it So no, they're they're they're really they got a really good front D led you said it Everybody knows chase young but pain in there and they're those guys that are tough and sweat and They can make life hard for you Backers can run And sound scheme Ron Rivera, you know, maybe he's been doing this a long time Jack del Rio over there So, you know, we got our work cut out for us and the other side. They get speed a wide out Good athletic tight ends and Thomas and so Gibson's a problem the kiss it like they got they got a good football team So we got a work cut out for us as we we get on to that and we're moving on to Washington and You know, we'll put the plan in and sewer at all. What's it? No You did you count that you count the one that read converted the end you get 32 do you have the cutoff? Well, you can say we didn't try to do the same thing again, you know, they got us they got us You know, we put this on read in and you know, they made a play we didn't But that was a big conversion to our last drive with red on that little screen, so Yeah, we talked to all the guys about that, but I mean again a lot of times looks like space There's a lot of things going to that play You know, we're it's a really good white out He's got a lot of craftiness to him, but that's all of our guys, you know, if you get it most coaches drops up get a feel but There's some things where it does the top of route. I mean, he's he's been very productive for us Happy with Calvin. Thank y'all Appreciate it
