 One thing I want to say, it means a lot for us to win at home. And I thought our crowd has been unbelievable the last two games. And it really made a difference. Our guys fed off that energy. And so, like I said, it's a shared experience when you get into it like that, and you could feel them, especially that last drive. Yeah, coach, what was the key to the offense getting moving and scoring on the last four possessions? I mean, we thought we were moving the ball pretty well all day. No good mix. Guys, a lot of things we were doing, that's why you keep working. And we got a lot of belief. But you've got to ultimately go out there and prove it. So it's sometimes that I had a lot of confidence that we would come out and execute pretty well today. Again, a lot of things we're always going to have to work on. But we got so much belief in our guys. Getting those critical situations, going forward on those four downs. And our guys keep swinging. And even the way they executed the little things, staying in bounds, not only would it once we got in the field goal range, you're playing a fine line. Like, yeah, we wanted to get that last first. But to take all that time off the clock, make them use their timeouts, there's so much situational football. In good situational football, our guys executed late. And before they have to. And just to follow that up, yeah, can you explain the rationale on a decision and to go for it on that fourth down there to keep you in the field goal range? Yeah, that's what we talked about before. Before the two-minute warning, I felt good about the play, the way we were blocking. And really, there was going to be B. John or Tyler in that situation. Had a lot of confidence they were going to get the first. And that's a belief. And there's a situation that could have been super conservative and kicked the field goal. But there was a lot of timeout. They would have possibly had a two-minute warning, depending on the kickoff and then the timeouts. And so I wanted to be aggressive. And then even late, with the minute being fourth and one at that point, I didn't want to get too cute. And I knew our defense, if they had no timeouts, I had a lot of confidence we'd go stop them. What did you say to Ritter after the first pick? He's obviously thrown more. Well, he got hit. I mean, we got Kyle wide open. And he got hit, the ball popped up. I mean, that's Kenny Clark. We had a good ball rush, I believe. And he never got to step through it. So we'd go back and look at it. We had Kyle coming open. And it happens. But the thing about Dez, even the one that he got aggressive was trying to work it to Drake. And he jumped inside. Jair did, I believe. And thankfully, he dropped it. But we have so much conviction. It's not going to be perfect. You learn from it. Doesn't make the same mistake twice. The first one, you've got to get Kenny Clark credit. I mean, that hit, that caused that interception. Those are stats that I don't think anybody appreciates. But if I was coaching Kenny, I'd be like, that's a hell of a play. What's the next step for him in terms of his development from what you've seen so far over the first two weeks? Again, I go back and look at the tape today, Michael. But I thought it was a pretty efficient day other than the drive. We got the penalty start to half. Thought it was a pretty efficient day. He's a winner. Guys believe in him. You can see it. I think in those critical situations, he's at his best. And that's been his history. And they didn't get in the day right before the half. They thought of pressure looks. If he checks the coverage, he extends that play and he works it back in the drake. I mean, that's why these guys love him. I mean, he embodies what we're about. And it was a good all-around game by the entire team. Like I said, they're different guys. And it's going to be somebody different every week, depending on who they're trying to take away and what the looks are. I thought, you know, Jono had a pretty solid day and, of course, Drake, too. Coach, in the back here, sorry. Young Ho Koo made those two kicks. I'm sorry? Young Wade Koo? Young Wade Koo. Yes, made those two kicks. Can you kind of assess his performance today? I know you missed one earlier, but can you kind of assess his performance overall? Yeah, it's like Dad's throwing the pick. We got a lot of belief in our guys. We don't sit there and play in our fears. And that's what happens in National Football League. Young Wades made a lot of big kicks for us. Koo's about a clutch as there is in this league. Arthur, obviously you get paid to make those decisions like the fourth and one. You could kick the field goal to take the lead. Like you said, what is it about your belief or maybe in your DNA as a coach that leads you to go for it in those situations? Well, everyone of those are different, Jeff. You know what the numbers are. You're certainly aware, but again, there's a human element to it. And the way that our guys were coming off the ball, again, the call, again, they're all educated guests. You know, they have a chance to change it up. And they did at times. I mean, that's what the league is. But there were a lot of conviction. It felt great about the call and really about the guys. And that was why, Jeff. And following that up, I mean, not only are you guys coming back offensively, but defensively, you guys, the defense had two or three stops in a row there after kind of getting steamrolled for three, four. What do you believe in terms of how maybe your belief has sort of filtered into that? The numbers, what's the total? Make sure I have it right. Bassie's hand right, little chicken scratch from time. No, no, Green Bay's. Yeah, I know they had the big plays off the flea flicker, the game of the DPI, and then the one, first drive off the half, again. They had like four straight scoring drives, I think, until the fourth quarter. Yeah, I'm not saying that the chunk plays off the penalties. I'm just saying that we got to stop them. I'm not making excuse for them, but I wouldn't call that, those are your words. I'm not going to give credit to even repeating them. Again, I don't have a problem with that. But I just say that, you know, we got to not commit those penalties. That would be a great coaching point. And when the ball is up there, like a punt, hopefully we can turn around and go and play that better. Not blaming the player that it was calling on, but we can play those situations better and credit to them. They got the penalty twice, huge chunk plays, and then they executed well. And they, you know, we made some adjustments, too. They were trying to use the motion to get guys free, to get them off our press. And you come back and as a team, I mean, that's the momentum of a game, right? You know, they took the lead. Were they up 12, I believe? And we went right back down, and we felt confident. And then, you know, that's what you do. That's what great coaching. You come to the sidelines and say, here's what they're trying to do. We changed up some calls and we showed them some things late in the game that we hadn't showed them early and tried to make them figure it out. And we went, what, was it four and out? So again, that's a good NFL team. That's a good players, good staff. But certainly there's always stuff to coach on, coach off of them work, but just proud of these guys. I'm sorry, one quick thing. Did you, that fourth and one decision, did you make it like right away or did you have to think about it? We talked about it, but I liked the call. You know, and you're trying to, I asked, you know, the thing now, you wanted a measurement, you don't get the measurement, right? And so I was gonna, you know, now it was low because I was asking for a measurement. Again, I'll be quiet because I don't know what I get fined for. So I just threw the challenge flag as a timeout. So then we talked about it some more as I was using the challenge flag as a timeout because we were debating the spot. Again, they made the right call and gave me time to talk it through with the players. To go back to Dez, you've talked for a long time about his abilities and crucial situations and crucial moments, even going back to college. What is it about him that you think makes him so good in those moments and he seems to progress as the games go on? Well, he's got good spatial awareness. I mean, you could see that, you know, some of the stuff when he scrambles as a play extender, certainly on some of the zone read stuff we did today. Kenny, like I said, even as a young quarterback, they always try to throw different looks at you. That's a good secondary, good defense, good coordinator, but he's able to process really fast and he's got a belief. I mean, he's got evidence of it. I mean, you go back to his history in college and so far in the NFL, I believe that's four straight wins as him as a starter. And so he keeps working to get better. That's what we love about him. And then so much of this game is not only just evaluating the physical tools, it's between the years and the chest, I would argue is a big part of it too. What can you legally share with us your thoughts about that Mack Hollins touchdown, not touchdown? I mean, what's a catch and what's a touchdown? Rather not ever speak on it because we'll find out. And again, that's, they have a tough job, but it is what it is. I mean, I had to look at the tape and we'll communicate, but they have a tough job. So it is what it is. And it's our job to move on. And thankfully we were able to come back and get the win. And going back or talking about Bijan Robinson, I mean, he had more than a hundred yards on the ground, had a big hit too. It looked like he might have been sore, he was looked at afterwards, how's he doing and then what can you say about his performance? Nobody said anything to me about any injuries. So that's a good thing. I mean, again, it was a physical game. I thought he looked good, a little good at that last run. Again, here, you know, half a yard give or take away from, you know, milk in the clock all the way down to one or two seconds to kick it, to not go back out there, but I believe Coy Walker made a pretty good play. And we had a little misdirection, you know, get the first down, go down, like we weren't gonna score there. And so they made a play and they did, you know, measure it. And then I took the time out, but we got a lot of belief in him and Tyler and all these guys. And when we get CP back, hopefully soon, it'll have one more element to the offense. Coach following up on Bijan over here. What have you seen in terms of growth and development from training camp to now he's at game speed? He's just very instinctive and a very smart football player. We put a lot on his plate. You know, a lot of times people draft players like that and they try to sound good, but we had a lot of conviction too that he could handle that. A lot of things we did and credit to our football staff in person, there's a lot of meetings that go into it and a lot of time spent. So we just not sitting there and sound good in theory. We knew he could do it and he continues to get better. He's a really fun player to coach. Yeah, or you mentioned Cordero, he was inactive, but he practiced in the follow week. Again, those are the decisions you make, right? If you wanna wear, you know, can he could have gone if he had to, but those are the decisions that we're paid to make and a lot of days of communication with the player. So hopefully get him back really soon. But he's training in the right direction, same with Jeff, you know, you guys saw him at practice, nothing to hide there. You guys are there every day. But we had a lot of belief about Nate Lamman, right? Stepped up, that's our team. That's why you're continuing. I tell you guys in camp, while we develop guys, while we mix and match, just proud of these guys. So just to be clear, so it wasn't a healthy scratch for Patterson, he's still. Mike, we're gonna get into semantics. Those are coaching decisions and as we all communicate with our players and a lot that goes into playing on Sunday and you make some decisions short-term or you're looking at long-term and also what the game plan is and how you think you need to, what personnel packages you need to, do you think to win the game? And in terms of the first quarter goal line, you guys had, I think it was four, five plays from the two. Although, what was that? Yeah, I got the DP out. Yeah, what was the DP out? And then we had the fall start and so it was fourth and sixth and we kicked it. You know, some looks then, I got a look at the tape. But again, I thought we, and you adjust, you see something that allowed Desda score later in the game. That's what coaching is. But again, try to be aggressive some of the things that we had shown before. And they got good players and we will never want to know what fourth and one would have looked like. Not to make this a scheme question but more in terms of the rhythm aspect that team's been talking about this week. Was there more of an effort to try to get Des involved with his feet just to try to get him in more rhythm? It's just, you know, you're making those decisions. How much you want, that's going to be every week. How much you want to run, how they play, of course they can always adjust. It's a fine line. I've always got the ability to do it but this was a particular week that we thought felt pretty good about some of the stuff we had up and that was why. I mean, that's a good defense. And yeah, there's a lot goes into it. Sometimes we adjust things in the game but we usually, we always have the ability to do it. Just from my point of view and limited understanding it looked a lot. Don't sell yourself so short Josh. I'm selling myself far on even that. It looked a lot easier in the passing game as the game went on. Is that accurate? Did some things open up for you or was that just you keep swinging and keep swinging? You know, even going back to last week, we said, we didn't have a lot of penalties today. I mean, that first drive, the second half, that felt like last week. Again, we could, when you put yourself behind the count, you know, you're getting some obvious past situations there. You know, you're trying to give yourself a chance to go get the first down and, you know, they made a play and again, I had to watch the tape on that but that was the only drive I think we had that stalled out but that was a penalty and we didn't overcome it. We did overcome one early that Drake Wright went up and got it on 3rd and 15th. But we were able to get into a rhythm and that was last week, it just was, that's what it was. It just never felt like we got in a rhythm and once you get in the rhythm of the drive, sure, the game's gonna play out, they're gonna adjust and but then it's why we have so much belief but we gotta go continue to improve. I mean, just because we had a bunch of yards today, I mean, that's always gonna have a game plan. We gotta continue to get better. Yeah coach, could you discuss the play of Nate Landman who's been in the program for two years, a drafted guy who got his first NFL start today. We don't, Ken, we just, that's why we continually look credit to the entire staff, personnel staff, football staff and there's a lot that goes on behind the scenes that we believe in developing and those post draft spots and any spot a guy gets on our 90 is important and Nate's a great football player. He's instinctive, he's heavy-handed and played a little bit last year for us but that's what we are when you got a real team and guys believe they all have a chance and that things happen and glad Nate was stepped up today. Coach, just wanted to go back to John O's Smith. How important is it just to see what he was able to do to extend drives at some critical moments today? Well, this gives you another weapon, right? There's so much focus sometimes on Kyle or certain things like, as I say about play calling, sometimes somebody might balance to be the primary and you work through it with a look, something happens, sometimes the guy may bail out, sometimes some of the play actions, sometimes guys may bail out and get in the vision. Again, you don't know what the quarterback sees. We think we do when you have the TV look and it slows down but we got a lot of weapons and John O is somebody that's made plays and big time games and he's been good. That tight end room, those guys love each other. I mean, Michael Pruitt is an underrated leader on our football team and Kyle and John O so if you're gonna take him away, but you know, if you, that play in particular, it was Bijan and Kyle were the primary but they gave us a look and then it goes back to John O and Drake but that's football and so when you got a lot of belief, okay, pick your poison. And John O was one of those guys, he's a great catcher, run player. We got a big yardage on the screenplay and some of the stuff he got out on the flat, he's hard to tackle. God, he's here. Thank y'all. Or good night, good afternoon, something like that. Good late evening. Does just, can you just talk about how that game was? It was so crazy. You guys looked like you were, you know, kind of down for the count and then you come back and you just kind of take us through the game. No, no, no, hold on, never, never down for the count. Okay. When you see Atlanta Falcons out there, we'll never be down for the count. We're gonna fight until that clock hits zero. So, you know, that's what I'm proud of this team and everyone on this team for not giving up, not, you know, and just keep going out there and just fighting until that clock hits zero. You know, obviously when you get in that situation, we were down 10, I think, or 11, whatever, 12. And you know, it's not about scurrying and, you know, panic. It's about, okay, take a deep breath and then just go play the next play. Coach Smith was talking about just one of the things that they liked about you even coming out of college was, you know, the crucial downs, the late game situations. What do you, what is it? How do you perform so well in those situations just from your perspective? Yeah, I think, you know, like we said last week, you know, you talked about, you know, how to receivers handle not getting the ball. And I told you guys, you know, the reason I play a quarterback is because I have the ball in my hands, you know, every single play. So for me, you know, when those big-time situations come up, whatever it may be, we know that, you know, if the ball doesn't end up in my hands, I got to go make a play. And so I've been in those situations before obviously college in here. And you know, it's something that, like I said, it's not something that you panic over. It's something that, hey, this is the next play, go execute it. Dez, walk us through that crucial fourth down call right before the two-minute warning from your perspective. You have the scramble and third doesn't quite get it. And then you've got the fourth. What's going through your head as you're working that play? Obviously, you know, trying to get the first down there, we had a run call call with a little RPO, so it could have gone either way. And squeeze, I pulled it, he read out of it. I just try to go back, try to make a play, get back to the first down yard marker. Obviously came up a little bit short. You know, going back, I would obviously try to get six more inches. To that play, when Arthur was asked about it, he was using words like we had a conviction about and a belief in the guys that we had to go out and make that play, whether it was John, whether it was you or Tyler, whoever, there was a conviction there. What does that say to the level of responsibility that those coaching staff puts on you guys in those situational moments? Yeah, it's obviously trust. Trust and seeing that throughout the week that we put in the work, that we've executed that play over and over and over again, that we know when we come out here on Sundays that when he calls it, we're gonna execute it so it's fullest. So for me, you know, that's just trust and belief in all 11 guys out there on the field that they're gonna do their job and their job only. My expert analysis would be that the passing game looked very hard early on and then a lot easier in the fourth quarter. Can you tell me if that's accurate and if so, what changed? You know, I'm gonna say it's accurate. I would just say, you know, it's all about getting into the rhythm, getting into the flow. When we start being able to move the ball, getting those first, first downs off the drives, getting them going, that's obviously when it starts to pick up, you start to see, you know, a little more tempo, a little more juice to the guys and, you know, things open up, obviously. You know, we do a lot of play action. So the backers pulled out really quick. You know, the DBs might be more afraid to go for the run and give up, you know, the pass above them or whatever it may be. And so, yeah. Is it difficult to be patient in the moments when that rhythm seems to take so long to get in gear? Yeah, you know, sometimes it is. Sometimes it is hard to be patient. You know, you're just trying to look for a play. You're looking, whether it's a run, play, screen, whatever it may be, you're just trying to look for that one thing to get you going, that one thing to get that momentum going. So sometimes, yeah, it is hard to be patient in those moments. You want to try to force a ball. You want to try to make a play. But it's actually in those moments where you've got to kind of take a step back and just say, like I said before, hey, just play the play as it is, no matter what the down and distance and just go execute it. What can you say about B. Jean Robinson's performance, especially towards the end, he said he took a helmet to the chest to like knock the wing down of him, but he still was able to come back in and get yards for you guys on Boop. Yeah, he's a competitor, you know, like I said. He's a competitor, but he's also humble. You know, he's going to go out there and obviously put his head down and go to work every single day in which he has, and then shows up on Sunday. And so for us, you know, he's a huge attribute to our offense, and you know, he does nothing but good things for us. After you threw your first interception, B. Jean said he looked at you. He said he always looks to see the demeanor and you were calm still, if maybe even more motivated. So where does that come from where it didn't bother you, it didn't bring you down and you remain focused? That's just kind of how my whole career has been, you know, never get too high, never get too low. You know, we always talk about in our quarterback meeting room, you know, the energy feeds off us. If we're down, everyone's going to be down. If we're up, everyone's going to be up. So obviously, you know, for me, I'll try to remain neutral throughout that entire game. I felt like I did my best job of just staying calm. And like I said, just playing each play as it comes. Dennis, you mentioned rhythm. You talked about that throughout the week. You talked about it last Sunday. Why has that rhythm been so hard for you all to figure out in the first half? You know, it's just how football goes. It's how it goes. Sometimes they're going to come in. Sometimes they're going to punch you in the mouth. I'm not saying that's what happened, but I'm just saying, you know, you can't ever dictate what the defense is going to do. And sometimes they come out and maybe have a better scheme, a better play call, whatever it may be. And we just have to go out and figure out how the next time we come back on the field, how to execute it better. Is it something in your game though? Because even if you go back to last year, it seemed like that was always kind of a thing. It was early on. It took a minute for you to get. Is that just how you are in some ways sometimes? That's for you to say. Well, I'm asking you, you've known you longer than I've known you. No, you know, for me, obviously try to get in the flow of game. Obviously snap one, you obviously want to be in the flow. Yeah, I would say sometimes, you know, it takes a little bit longer to get going. That's one thing, you know, talking this off season that we worked on was, you know, how can we be able to get out there and from play one, you know, being that rhythm, being that flow. So that's one thing that obviously will continue to work on. Like I said, it's game two of a 17 game season, you know, regular season. So we'll just keep continuing to work and keep getting better. When do you think you got the trust of these guys? When? Yeah. You know, shoot, I'd like to say, hopefully I got that trust, you know, you know, once I stepped in there last year, you know, if I didn't have the trust of those guys last year, then obviously we're in the wrong position. I put myself in the wrong position if I didn't have their trust. So if you look back, you know, that would have all been on me. If you said that if you went and asked these guys if they didn't have my trust, that probably would have started from the day I walked in. You know, I did something wrong or wasn't doing what I was supposed to be or, you know, didn't go to my job 100%. But like I said, ever since I've stepped foot on this organization, on this campus, you know, I've wanted nothing but the best. I've wanted to put in, you know, 100% effort and have full trust and respect of every single one of these guys on the team. By your volume and demeanor, you seem to be very excited right now. And I just wondered what a fourth quarter like this does for in the development of a young quarterback. Yeah, you know, it's huge and it's crucial. Like I said, even throughout that entire fourth quarter, I was just trying to stay calm, stay patient and just let it come to me, you know, just let the play play itself. But you know, for not only myself but for an offense that was huge right there. That was huge for obviously us to go out. You know, it's tough right there getting those two, you know, stops right there where it's third and one, fourth and one. And you know, we're unable to go for it. Obviously we played the situation as a game, huge for Q to come in, step in after missing one early to have the trust obviously that we have in him for to go out there and knock down those kicks. That's huge for us. And you probably didn't think you'd go through your whole career without throwing an interception. So I don't know how you process that first one. Yeah, no, obviously you got hit on it, but it's just, you know, how you get back, how you bounce back from it. So I felt like, you know, we did a great job coming back out there, you know, not worrying about what happened the last drive and just keep going on the next. And this question might have been asked as I was in the locker room, but going back to that slow start, you're down 24-12, but your defense keeps getting three and outs, putting you in position to win this game. How important is it to know that you can have the confidence that your defense will kind of hang in there until you guys can get back in like you did today? Yeah, that's huge for us. Like I said last week, though, that's something that we can't count on every single week. You know, that's something that we have to go out there and we have to set the tempo as an offense. So, you know, when we get back, you know, I have talks of, you know, hey, we got to pick it up, you know, we got to do better. We have to lead this team just so that, you know, in that one case that, you know, the one Sunday where a defense, you know, whether it doesn't show up or they have a few plays that go wrong here and there, we got to be the ones to go out there and set the tone and set the tempo early. For you personally, when did you feel like the energy or the momentum switched for you guys? Like what changed for you? A lot of the guys said, like kind of in the fourth quarter, was there a specific play or dry for you that you felt like? Yeah, you know, I would go back to the, we talk about as a team, we talk about that middle eight. You know, we deferred off the coin toss to get the ball in the second half. We got the ball right there at the end of the first half. We knew we had to put points up on the board. So for us, when we were to go down there and move the ball, be able to get points on the board, obviously that was huge for us in talking about that middle eight. There's obviously the win is the most important thing. And I know there's some stuff you guys want to work on, red zone, things like that, but just kind of get in the weeds here a little bit. Over 200 yards passing, over 200 yards rushing, 36 minutes time of possession. I'd imagine that's as an offense, you guys are pretty pleased with those numbers, aren't you? Kind of as a template of what Arthur wants to do offensively each week? Yeah, like you said, you know, there's a couple of passes I wish I had back. I'm sure there's a couple of runs we wish we could have back. But you know, it's not a perfect game. But I feel like obviously we did enough obviously to go out there and get the win as we did. But there's obviously that's not the best Atlanta Falcons offense you've seen right there. And we know that we can do way better than that. So it's going to be up to us, you know, come in here on tomorrow, watch the film, get better and go back to work for Detroit next week. Yeah, it does just to clarify something. Middle eight means? Middle eight meaning last half of the last four minutes of the first half, first four minutes of the second half. OK, is that something that's always been in your head your whole career or is that something that you picked up here? No, I mean, that's obviously something that a lot of teams throughout football talk about is that middle eight, especially like we said, we want to double up that. So we get the ball right there at the end with the last four minutes in the first half. We want to take that ball, get points. When we say double up, we get the ball back in the start of the second half, come back and get points up on the board. That's used for momentum. That's used for offense, defense, and everyone. Des, you had several key pickups with your legs today, and you didn't really run that much against Carolina the week prior. Is that something about this rhythm that we've been talking about that can help you and even open up some things in the passing game? Yeah, 100%. That opens up things in the passing game and run game. Obviously, you know, going in the defense would have to then account for my legs, in which I'm sure they do. You know, the scramble, the called RPOs, whatever it may be, the defense has to adjust for that. But when we get out there and make scrambles, it obviously opens up the passing games, kind of gets people out of their spots. So as many times I can use my leg without hurting the team, I'm going to try to do. Come on, Dee. Oh, wait, wait, she's. You loud, you good? All right, one shot. All right, once you all got, when you got rolling there late, the four straight field go, touchdown field go, field go, what were some of the keys for the, maybe that was throughout that that was working for you all offensively? Yeah, like we said, just get that first, first down. Once we got out there on the field, it's just about getting the ball going, getting the ball moving. So, you know, when it's easy, you can hand off a ball and it goes for eight, nine, 10 yards. Plus, you know, that choose for our momentum. And so just to get in that flow, just getting that first, first down, getting it going. You know, I mean, go back to Mike, you talk about how do you start fast? It's about getting that first, first down, getting the team moving, getting the flow moving. And I think that's obviously what we did really well. I would definitely say it's strides in the right direction. It's not 100% where we want to be at, but it's definitely strides in the right direction. Desmond, I know you have to watch film and all of that, but what is it about this particular game that makes you feel like not just you, but the offense took a step forward today? Like I said, you know, we was able to go out there and we was just able to keep it moving forward. There were things that went wrong or things that went right. But at the end of the day, we were able to come back, lock back in, keep it going. You know, it's when those times and when those things do go wrong, how are we gonna bounce back from it? How are we gonna come back out on the field and keep the ball moving forward? How are we gonna keep the defense sitting on the bench and us, you know, on the field holding the possession? And so for us, I feel like we did a good job of that. Obviously, like I said, there are a couple of throws, a couple of runs we could have back, but we're definitely moving in the right direction. Are you a guy who grabs a stat sheet at the end of the game to see what your numbers were just to never have? No, I was just told, he told me. So that was about the first time I heard it. Do you ever look at him during the week? Does it matter to you to judge your progress by looking at those, you know, sort of the counting stats? No, I wouldn't say that, because I mean, there's throwaways, there's better balls. So, you know, you can't just go look at, oh, I was however many of however many and say, oh, this is how I played that game. I played terrible this game because I had this. Can't look at the QBR because it is what it is. Last week, you know, out of high QBR, whatever, this week, don't know what it was. But, you know, it's two different weeks. So for me, you know, it's just about going back, watching the film, and grading myself on, you know, what I could have done better. You know, it's probably not one play in there where I'd say it's A plus. So there's always things that not only myself, but everyone else can get better at. Do you literally grade yourself? I know the coaches give you a grade, but do you go through every one of your games and grade yourself? Yeah. What did you grade yourself last week? Last week was like C plus. Yeah, and it wasn't all great last week. How many A's have you had in your life? Not very many. Not very many. And that's just who I am. That's just who I am as a person. I think that, you know, there's always room for improvement. There's always steps that you can take to get better. And for me, you know, obviously being complacent is one of the worst things that you can do in this league as a football player is just, you know, feel like you've made it or feel like you've worked hard enough to be where you're at. For me, you know, I feel like I've always got to work harder, always got to do one extra thing, always got to be better to be able to keep taking those steps. So what would you grade yourself or is it too early right now? This week? Yeah. Without looking at the film. Probably another C. Okay, why? Why? Because there were throws that I missed. You know, reads that I could have done better, checks of the line of scrimmage. Couple times you talk about, when I talked about a couple of weeks ago getting in and out the huddle on the efficiency there, you would go back, you look at the game clock, game clock's draining down on us, getting down three, two, one. That's on me, getting out in and out the huddle. Make sure we get all the calls right. So there are a lot of things that you guys don't see that you guys may think went right, but actually went wrong. So that's where I'll go back and look at and that's where I'll knock myself. And what can you say just about the fans and the crowd energy? It's a lot as I've heard it since I've been here. The fans have been amazing. These past two weeks, the whole city of Atlanta has showed up. They done a heck of a job. You know, when the defense out there on the field, being loud, when the offense out there, we make a big play, you hear them. You hear everything that they do. So for us, it's huge to have that fan energy, to have the momentum. And you know, we just heard they show up every single week, just like that. All right, so what would you need to do to get an A for yourself? What I need to do to get an A? Yeah, in your eyes. You probably go back to that stat sheet. Pretty close to perfection on that stat sheet. And then you go back and watch the film. You made every protection check right. You made every can or check that we have in the run game, whatever it may be. Everything was 100%. You went out of there healthy. You won the game, most importantly. Yeah. All right, you said you've given yourself a few. Do you know the last one you gave yourself? The last. A, you gave yourself? No, it's probably been a while. It's probably been a while. Like, are we talking a high school while or Cincinnati while? Probably early Cincinnati while, maybe. But even then, I mean, there's still, like I said, there's got to be, to have an A plus, you've got to be one of those. I mean, there's got to be, everything goes right for you. And so that's tough for this league. Obviously, we could control what we could control and some things you can't control. And so that's where you get automatically knocked in your so-called grading. I know last year was last year, and it's a different team. But these are the type of games you guys had so many games last year, where it was come down to the wire, and you guys just couldn't finish, just fell short. What does it say about this team that this year, first opportunity you guys have, you do it and you close the comeback? Yeah, it's huge. Obviously, you know, as a part of last season, it was whatever, 15 games, we were in by one score, whatever it may have been. And so to be able to come out here and obviously finish and finish on top, that's huge for all of us. How good did it feel to just come out with this home crowd and get that win, get that comeback completed? Oh, it felt great, obviously, to come back and win this, obviously, with the home crowd behind our back. You know, being in Mercedes-Benz, like I said, it's a different energy, it's a different atmosphere. You know, you guys talk about my home, Winstree, whatever it may be. That's not built from just me. That's not built from, you know, just the guys on this from the coaches. That's built from the city. That's built from every single person that shows up in the Mercedes-Benz, waving an Atlanta flag. And so, you know, we'll just try to keep that going just to keep the energy going, keep the momentum going, hope we're gonna show up again. All right, thanks everybody. Thank y'all, have a safe drive.
