 Yeah, Coach, I'm just checking in on the secondary guys, injuries and so forth coming out yesterday. What we'd be concerned about is Casey, you know, he's the one that'll, again, we don't have all the information, but that'd be the one that's looking more long term. The rest of those guys, as we continue to evaluate, thankful be, you know, short term, but case is the one that we're concerned about. And, you know, just getting ready for, I guess, Hall has been the guy that's been getting most of his time, but are you, you know, how are you with your dad? You know, it just depends on the game plan, obviously, still early in the week. We know we obviously got a challenge with Cincinnati and their personnel, especially as much as they like to play an 11 personnel and they've got really good wide outs and a really good quarterback. So, still early in the week there, put the plan together, but we're confident in our guys and guys stepped up and played really well. Darren did. Darren's had a good camp and his number was called yesterday and made a huge play on that deep ball to Ayuk, really good patience and body control and up there making that play. Arthur, with how much Kyle played yesterday, how much of those snap counts for him coming off of an injury versus game plan versus? Oh, both. Yeah, that's what it was. There's been those questions about his production and you've said over and over that he's been so valuable. Can you just maybe explain a little bit more what that he has done that has been so valuable that maybe me or most of you will be able to see? Well, I mean, you can, you know, his, the effect he has on every play, you have to account for him. Or last year would necessarily, you know, tunnel runs behind him or running right behind him a lot. So it makes, again, it's not as obvious what you're trying to do. I think he draws a lot of attention. I mean, even the one that he got the calls penalty, he ran a great route. He still got out of that thing. He has an impact on every place out there. You have to account for him and it was good to see him rewarded. I thought it was really good play by Marcus on the touchdown to him, understanding, you know, as he read through it and using what we were trying to set up to his advantage and it was a really good route by Kyle too. Where is this blocking gotten better? Because I would point every Memphis for him this week. Everywhere. It's all over the tape. But that's, I mean, it's run behind him in space. You know, we, we just put him out. So like all our guys, I think that I didn't room as a whole playing real well. You're, you're something important. How much of that is just a guy, maybe you don't have to block as much in college going from year one to year two. Do you do something that is a tangible? A lot of it depends on what style you want to play. I mean, if you just wanted to say, stay out there stationary and play in and spread formations, it's probably a little bit easier to learn a curve and you could probably pad the stats. You may not be in as many games and get a bunch of two minute stats when the game's out of reach and feel pretty good about it and say, oh, he caught 90 balls. But what was his impact on winning the game? I think that's what we value about Kyle and the impact he has on us winning. And all the things we ask him to do with it, there's a lot. There's something we flex him out. There's time to put him in the corner. We motion him. It's a lot. And as he's a very smart player and still really, really young to his career. Quarter to the last week of the court, we're on saying completion percentage and quarterback rating be damned. Marcus Murator went out with 93% completion percentage on a rate before quarterback rating. Played the game plan. You know, against that defense, like I said, I mean, I don't care what his ratings are. You don't turn the ball over. You don't turn the ball over. You make the plays that are there and he did that. In question, is it easier to call a game when those numbers are better? Is it easier to manage a game when those numbers are better as opposed to when they're not? Again, it just depends on what scheme and what you're trying to attack. You know, if there's a game that we feel that you could take it, be a little riskier, there's something there that you try to take advantage of that they give you. But I think when you're playing a defense like the Niners, they don't give you a lot of opportunities for shots. And part of it is because of the way they rush the quarterback. So you're not, if you're holding the ball for a long time, yeah, guys may be open. You may get that still shot or you may have the analytics bro online but the Twitter coach that puts a still shot, oh, you can't believe how open he was. It's like, hey, might have hit about half a second to get that ball off. No offense. But the guy just blew up through the A gap. He couldn't get the top of the drop. So anyways, I digress. And then that's what makes San Francisco so good. And so yesterday I thought he played really clean, was efficient. Every game is going to be a different story. Very happy. I think what you're seeing is progress. Stats be damned to use your term. Maybe I used it. Maybe I didn't. And also it's just like the flow of the game. He was in a rhythm. Certainly that would help. Yes. I mean, he got hit four or four in the first drop. So clearly something was different considering only the three to five passes in the entire. Well, I think it's sort of the first, first down. I mean, the first third down, the big plate OZ. I think, you know, sometimes it is, it's a little bit like that first shot goes in the basket. I'm not a good golfer. I play like once a year. So I try to use a golf analogy, but I claim to watch more than I really know. But you see that putt go in. Maybe it puts you in a better headspace. Yeah, mentally, that is real. Yeah. It was great. Like I said, when we do another shameless plug. No. Have you ever done that before? No, I brought it up on Saturday. We had to walk through. I said, can we go in there? And so I ran it up. Yes. And they said, sure. And so the line, like I said, the game ended. We won and they ran for over a hundred yards. So we went in there and had a beer. Were those the stipulations like that? Yeah, we had to win and we had to have over a hundred yards. I got it cleared and, you know, credit to them. It wasn't some marketing ploy. It was led by them. It was organic and I thought it was, it was fun. I don't know if I'm going to get fined or not. I really don't care. Aside from the culture that you want to build on the field in between the lines, you know, with what you want to do tragically in a game, how have you seen this team, kind of the culture that you wanted to instill, grow in these first six weeks? Well, I think, you know, it's never perfect. But I think we played really well situationally. And that comes in every phase. I mean, the games were in the games right before the half, you know, get that touchdown for the half, make them use your timeouts. You get in there and yeah, they may get a couple yards, but be able to enter into the half. Like there's nine seconds to go, no timeouts. And so knowing that situation and not letting them out of bounds and chunk it down. They completed it. The half's over. And then Isaiah went up and got the interception. Coming back and obviously being a two-score game in your fourth and five. So have a punter. Bradley Appendian's playing really well for us. I think Hodge and Mike Ford are doing a hell of a job at Gunner. And you go down and Appendian hit that. You know, talk about changes, club selection. And he did. And be able to hit that. And Hodge was right there, reestablishes. Gets the ball down to one. So then they hold the ball for eight minutes and come away with zero points. Yeah. I mean, like, sure, would you love to have gone back out there and offense and scored more? Maybe, you know, that's why the stats sometimes like the total yards really don't matter defensively. Because whatever they got on that drive and even the game was over and a couple check downs and great. So if they got over 100-something yards of offense right there with zero points, that's a huge win by us. The way we were playing and to make them eat that clock and that's being in tune and knowing them to stay in discipline in that situation. That was where I saw a lot of growth as a team. Do you see the results in terms of the wins that you've gotten so far? The season is kind of being a proof of concept that is kind of allowing the players to coalesce even more and just kind of build that confidence to the wins kind of hope. Yeah, I mean, you need to be rewarded. I mean, you don't want to sit here and talk about moral victories and, yeah, you need some results for sure to show that progress. I mean, you can see it, but you want to be rewarded by those wins and thankfully we are. I mean, not obviously where we want to be and we know we have a huge game this Sunday and it's a long journey. You know, it's like you see it every year. Some teams start 8-0, 10-0, and then it's like... You know, by the end of the year, they're made a limp into the playoffs. You want to be improving. Hopefully playing our best ball come December and January. I'm not going to give you the Jim Morris senior quote. No, okay. But we'll just focus on Cincinnati. We'll be talking to Terry about, really, it's a bunch of Cincinnati Saints over there on defense. They do a lot of guys over there. Yeah, we talk all day every day and we've got a great football staff and, yeah, there's always familiarity. We'll see Hayden, right? Yeah, all those guys, yeah. So, you know, Steve Jackson, one of our offensive coaches was over there last year on defense and he's very familiar with them too. Takeaways over the course of the first six games. Is there kind of an overarching, a mindset and aggressiveness or something that has been part of the reason why you guys are taking the ball as they still are? Well, I think it's just guys playing really well within the scheme and credit to a lot of our players. But, you know, there's a lot of the plays that don't show up on the stat sheet. I thought that Bikati rushed really well, you know, making a guy move off the spot. Sometimes that makes him sail a throw. You're able to get the hands on the ball or maybe the ball gets tipped and, you know, Hawk, you know, got the one interception. But those are the little things that I think are starting to add up that may not go down like the pressure of moving them off the spot and not let them get set. Helps, I think for Sean, you know, at third and one, being in tune, being able to get the ball out. And then obviously it takes the funny bounces, but guys running through the football, you're awarded for that as well. You said after the Saints game, and you said it a couple times in the past about expectations. Yeah, you're not going to get me to talk about that, sorry. No, what I was going to ask was, do you have to talk to your team at all about the possibility of changing, of outside expectations changing through the course of the season and not paying attention to that based on the value of this? Yeah, I mean it's the same thing. It's like when you win or lose, it's all about being objective. Those peripheral opponents, the same thing. If you get praised, and you start believing that praise too much, shame on you, and the same thing about whatever the negative opinions are. And that's life. I mean, to be realistic. So it's all about perspective, and you can't let that affect you either way. You're talking about obviously destroying the next opponent. How do you figure out when you're going into a given game, the difference between you need to get better on the macro picture versus that given week, if it's a opponent. For example, Saks, right? You haven't had a couple of Saks in the last two weeks, obviously it's in every game. We did, we got called back. Thank you for the clarification, coach. I appreciate it. I guess the point, you go against team, you can see the difference when Barrow has time versus when he doesn't have time. In the big picture, you want to get better there, but it gets a specific opponent. I mean, that was the one thing about when you're going to play in Tampa, you knew the ball was coming out. And so, you know, and not everybody will play that efficient. And then Jimmy, I think yesterday, he did a decent job extending plays, but a lot of those getting him off the spot, those pressures led to us getting off the field on third down. And so, yeah, you know, stats the, I mean, excuse me, if you get Saks, that's the pretty statistic that and a lot of people get rewarded off. And they can grade a little bit of selfishness too. If that's what you're going to pay, you're just going to reward the Sack number. You're not going to consider the other 95% of the plays that are in there. In effect, they're having. That's why I think Joe and Grady and TQ and those guys and AK are hitting a rush plan. I think you, it'll pay off different obstacles every week depending on their protection scheme, the time the guy spends in the pocket, how he moves with it. And we'll have our challenge. The numbers have been for Cincinnati, but they've been pretty damn good offensively regardless of it. I think there was something I saw the other day about Joe Burrow talking about Saks can be misleading on the other side. So we know it was a challenge. This passing game is pretty damn good. And so we got our work cut out for us. We're still early coming up with a plan. And does your we're starting to see a little movement with the trade deadline coming up? What's your philosophy on a trade deadline given where you're at this time? I think everybody, you know, those guys talk all the time. You know, I think that's pretty common. If the opportunity is right, great. It's like somebody gives you an offer you can't refuse. The old Don Collion. Listen, but you know, so it just depends what, you know, situation shows up to lead. But those guys, I think it's pretty standard operating procedure. Those GMs, they all call and check in no matter what. Sure, everybody's looking for a deal, whether it's for now, for short term or long term. And again, the guys that are leaky, they leak them out to you guys for whatever incentive. And some of it's nonsense. Some of it's real. That's kind of my opinion. I think Troy Anderson's snap percentages have been increased all the way to the point where yesterday obviously he's shown Michael, he played 100% of his snaps. How would you assess where he is now versus where he was at the start of training camp as kind of the guy who's obviously kind of green and developing a new position? I mean, it's a hard transition to the NFL. These rookie seasons are long for all the guys, whether they're early pick or late pick and guys in there and the same thing with Timmy Horn. You know, Timmy's playing in there and all the other guys. Troy took a lot of snaps yesterday, but we've got a good problem. You know, there's a place to play all our guys, and Sean's playing well. Troy's doing a really good job too on the special teams. I know we didn't end up getting the touchdown off it, but that play he made on the one punt return where they they spit out of there. We missed a couple of tackles. You got to see a speed. He can accelerate as well as anybody. So yeah, I mean, he has a huge impact on the game when he's out there and we'll continue. It wasn't perfect, but glad we have him and it's fun working with him. I don't have any update. We'll see. Coach, what did you see Isaiah in his first game back and how does he have an impact on the even still overall success yesterday? Yeah, Isaiah is somebody that that I got so much respect for. You know, all these guys work hard, but you know, there would be nights you see Isaiah here rehabbing and it wasn't to be seen. I mean, it was just he was in here all the damn time and he's such a smart instinctive player. It's hard not to have a soft spot for him, especially coming off that and it was good to have him back out there and he made an impact. You feel him. He's a very smart football player. Obviously, he got the interception for the half. Glad to have him back. What was when he got hurt there toward the end with that as much he had is that a football game like I think you'll be all right. Well, you know, it was more like he had just had him played in so long, whether it was I'd have to talk to him about that to get some philosophical meaning because it seems like teams with good defensive stats will always be good situationally. Yes. In your case, your stats aren't like high popping defensively, but you're very good situationally. Is that in this case more important to you than it is? You know, that's the thing. I mean, like, you know, credit to San Fran, I mean, they held the ball for long the fourth quarter, but at the end of the day, those are those yards didn't matter. You know, so whatever that fourth quarter was, and that's why sometimes I think ranking defense is just on total yards is misleading. I think the Patriots have gone to Zubo with the 31st ranked defense. But maybe because they had the lead so much and teams were getting the old check down, you know, QBR game for the quarterback, you know, you're down four possessions and the guy look at someone, wow, he threw for 300 yards. Like, yeah, well 200 came when the game was out of reach. Congratulations buddy. But like, that's kind of how it feels. So that's where total yards can be. It's going to come down to situational football, third down turn over margin, red zone, and that's the main focus. You'd love to have, you know, 12-3 an ounce and likely that happen and not high, but we'll work for it.
