 Coin toss yesterday, you got one hit but elected to receive, that's kind of unusual. Is that something the players decide? Was that something you saw from the Raiders that made you go that way? No, I was just excited to take the ball. Wanted to take the football and try to finish that first drive with points, which is what we did. We had some great conversions and that was exciting to see. So it's just something that before the game I felt good about doing. When you look back at the game, Nicholas Petitfarai, it seemed like he played really well. What are your thoughts on his performance? I would probably stop short of saying really well. I think that as a rookie, there are just so many things that come up new each and every game. I would say that he battles, he competes. He stays on his feet. He tries to finish in pass protection. You know, and whether he gets, maybe the guy gets the edge on him inside, he's got the ability to kind of stay with him and finish and take some of the shot off the quarterback. So I think it's just a process of getting the game plan details out to the field in a live environment when it's going fast and things are moving and changing and they're going to different people. So continues to progress and really excited about where he's at. But I think it's just a great place to start and continue to improve. How did this daily hold up over on the left side? Well, I mean, I think, you know, Double D is certainly trying to figure out what we do here on the fly, doing a nice job competing, trying to get him to continue to understand where he fits in our scheme and where he needs to be in combination with guys. But, you know, we did a nice job pretty much all the day in protection against some really good guys. So I think he's only going to continue to get better as well. As you look back at the tight from the offensive standpoint, I'm very happy with Sean, the first half, and then the second half only had four possessions. What are some things you could clean up there to maybe help moving forward? Well, making sure, you know, we had the turn over, which was, you know, unfortunate. And I think some of the gains and the runs that we had, you know, in the first half, you know, probably weren't there, you know, for, you know, whether it's one guy here or pressure. But we had some opportunities, you know, felt like we could have got the screen going again. We had success with that in the first half, wasn't able to get Nate out, you know, for obvious reasons if you watch, you know, how they played him, not allowing him to get to the backer, and the conversions. You know, we had some really cool third down conversions in the first half, and weren't able to get it, you know, third and one. You know, we didn't get many people blocked on that one. You know, and then just really just making sure that we're better in four minutes there at the end. I thought the way that we finished the first half was three critical points when you look at defensively getting the stop, stopping the clock, 20-yard return. You know, Caleb Farley did a nice job of getting to the second level. Robert does what we ask every returner to do is make the first guy miss. I did a fantastic job with that, 21 yards in midfield, 21 seconds, you know, the two timeouts, you know, Nick sitting down, catching a contested pass, Ryan being decisive with it, you know, and then getting the extra yards that we needed, and Randy coming through with a big kick. So those were three critical points, and I think we all just have to, you know, make a few more plays offensively and defensively in special teams in the second half there. We had opportunities in all three phases. Is Caleb just not taking stuff from the practice field to games, Mike? Is that fair to say? You're seeing some things from him in practice, and it's not showing up on game day? Well, I mean, I think that there's been some growth there, and, you know, we're going to continue to give him opportunities and make sure that he's, you know, ready to go, and that he's competing each and every week for that opportunity to play, and continue to help us on special teams. And, you know, we just all have to get comfortable in doing our jobs and making sure that, you know, we're understanding the call, we're understanding what the concept is, what it is that we're trying to get done. And whether you're playing pass rusher, you're playing an inside linebacker or corner, and just making sure that whatever that call is, that it's getting executed and that everybody's focused on doing their job. You're sitting top of being comfortable. Is it a confidence issue for him? Well, I mean, I can't really speak on anybody's confidence level except for mine. That's not something that I think, you know, that's for the player to understand. And we have full confidence in everybody that's here, that, you know, throughout the course of the season or even this week, that, you know, the guys that are here, whether it's on the practice squad or on the active roster, are going to learn a game plan, prepare as a starter, have to go in there. Whether that's Dylan Cole, like he did defensively or, you know, Josh Kalu, we had to go in there, you know, some snaps, interior defensive linemen. And so that's what we ask everybody to do. Was your valuation process like Mike for that? I'm still going to say that's positioned specifically during the course of the week that leads you to, here's the other guy we're going to go with. I just wanted to try, you know, man, try somebody else, try somebody new and give somebody else an opportunity. And that may change this week. That's what it was on a short week. And, you know, that could be something different for this game plan this week. What does this know that you look for during the week, Mike, as you do about it? You know, just an overall understanding. You know, we don't have that many reps. You know, Wednesday was a walkthrough. But, you know, there's certainly things that we will look for is, you know, the ability to, you know, be able to match up, be able to understand what the zone coverage responsibilities are, the ability to play the correct leverage. And those are all things that we look for. So is it more of a technique issue from an individual standpoint or a scheme issue of him not maybe all the time carrying out the assignment correctly? And just overall just trying to make sure that everybody's ready to do their, do their job, execute when their, when their numbers called, you know, and find ways to help us win. How are you in that process, though, as far as, because I know yesterday you said that you're still looking for guys that can cover. Is that something? You're still looking for guys that can rush and can cover, you know, when they do all those things. And we're looking for as many guys as we can find. And we'll evaluate the, you know, the guys that we have here and try to make the ones that were rushing here and figure out the ones that can cover. And so, you know, each week is going to be something different. You were having the I-5 catches yesterday. How nice was it to get them going in that way? Do you think that helped maybe open up the running game or is that unrelated? Well, I think it was what they were trying to do is they were trying to get back to try to stop some of the intermediate, you know, play passes that we've had, you know, that we'd like to have success with. And I thought the best thing that Derek was was available. He got to those spots quickly. And then Ryan was able to find them. Derek did a nice job of putting the ball away and turning it up like we talked about and gaining some valuable yardage. I think was it for Stonehouse to get off that 70-yard punt to at least put you in position to have them pinned back? Take as many 70-yard pints as we can get. To Caleb, what is the balance for you in terms of wanting to have confidence in the guy that's out there to execute and then also wanting to get a guy like Caleb who hasn't played a ton of football, that development in live game reps and where does that balance lie for you when you make those personnel decisions? I think that's just something that we have to look at each and every week and hopefully that we can have a full week of practice and have a competition and see who is going to be the guy that's going to go out and play for us and what the rotation may look like as we work through what personnel they're in and what personnel that we end up playing. How did Mitchell do given that he'd only been here four days? I think there was an understanding. They caught some balls on him and obviously we did the job that we wanted to on Devontae and Darren, but Matt Collins really came up big. So give him a lot of credit. We just gave up too many X plays there defensively in the second half. Back to Derek, how good is it to get him out in space like that when he's split out like that? Well, I mean, space is probably hard to come by for Derek, but when it is his own and if you look at the screen, it's cool to see him get going. We just got to try to catch it a little cleaner so that the timing of some of those things are better, but those have to be good plays for us and still try to find ways to use his skill set along with running the football. Robert had his best game yesterday. Who was that just a function of the game? Or do you see now that he's getting further away from the injury that maybe he's doing things a little bit more decisively and just playing better football? Yeah, I mean, I think that we were able to find him. I think there's really some cool stuff there with him and Ryan thought he ran a great route down there in the red zone. The over, the play pass was nice. I think he set his angle and Ryan was able to throw him a really, really good ball. And the punt return was something that I thought was really beneficial and really helped us outside even those catches that he had that I think was a huge play. How integral is he to the offense when trying to establish a rhythm like that? Well, I think everybody is. Everybody is. Everybody has their role in each and every play and how you perform that job. And we understand that the better that receivers play and running backs play without the football in their hand can only help us. Guys that are fighting for extra blocks to try to protect the guy with the football. And I think a great example of that was just at the end of the game on the on-side kick. Whoop goes and gets the kick, but Cody and Jeff Swame and Tori Carter over there trying to protect the guy and coming from a long distance and Tori had a heck of a block to protect Jeff. So those are things that we always are preaching. You see, Zach Cunningham get hurt. How'd you like his effort on that play to kind of fight through a bunch of guys to keep that going? Yeah, a bunch of guys, they had some gadgets there that they threw. Zach fought through some guys and made a play and don't really question his effort or anybody else's effort. I think we just have to continue to make that a calling card for us. Make sure that we're executing better and we're executing better together. How do you feel for Shah Weaver has done considering elevated snaps and playing a bigger role in the defense? He continues to improve. I think that he gets tired a little bit in there and probably playing too much, but that's a product of not getting off the field and not many other guys behind him. Mike, is there a little bit different field today as you watch film or even some relief of just getting that first win and doing it in the fashion you did yesterday? I think we're excited about winning. I mean, it's hard to win in this league. It is and we're never going to take anything away from winning. We just got to continue to improve and fix the things that we feel like are fixable. Again, find out who's available, who we're going to have and start to build a game plan and a roster to travel to Indianapolis for a huge division game on the road. And with that division, how much do you put emphasis? It's the first one of the year. It's only week four. There's a lot of football left, but do you really put an extra emphasis on the fact that it is a division opponent? Well, I mean, I think you have to play well. You have to beat the teams in your division. You got to steal a couple on the road, which this is the next opportunity for that. So I don't think that there's any... We understand that they're a good football team. We have to go on the road against a good football team that just beat a good football team and start doing some things better and continue to do the things that... That looked pretty positive yesterday. Given how much draft capital you put into that cornerback position, a first-round pick, two second-round picks, to be in this state where you're saying, we still got to find guys to cover, is that, like, is there a frustration level to that? No. You know, this is our football team. This is a football team that we want and that, you know, no frustration. You know, I mean, we're just gonna make sure that we get guys ready to play, get them to understand what's going on, and then I'm confident that they're gonna play like hell.
