 I hope you're doing well. I guess I'll start off with a two-part question for you. First part, do you expect Alex Mack to be available this Sunday? And the second part, what are the biggest teaching moments for Matt Hennessy after his first start? OK, so we're going to take, obviously, we're going to take Mack all the way to the game. Today's practice is on a limited basis. We'll get him out there. Obviously, he's got to go through all of his protocol stuff, and he's going through all that in a timely fashion. So he'll be ready to play. If he's available and if he can go and he feels healthy, I do expect him to play. Hennessy, a great learning experience for him last week. A way to get out there and get some action for the first time is that people forget that this rookie class didn't really have a preseason. And for him to get out there and get some real action and get some live bullets and some live padded action was a really good experience for him. What's your overall evaluation of the year Daunte Fowler has had? And how much do you think those injuries kind of set him back maybe early and then also here recently? I'll just be frank. And I'll be frank for Daunte. It just wasn't good enough for the standard that he's provided for himself or the standard that the Atlanta Falcons have for him. Obviously, he wants to go out and be a disruptor every single time. He wants to get up to the quarterback. And he's not been able to do that enough this year, whether it been COVID, whether it has been injury, whatever the case has been. A lot of things in this business, you don't have time for excuses for it. And he won't be one of those guys to make excuses. We've got to get him going. He's a guy that we have big plans for. And we'll figure out what we can go next with him. D-Led? Yeah, Coach. Yeah, just sticking with Fowler, what the injuries, I know you all don't want to make excuses for that, but weren't they a factor? For sure, D-Led. But again, my job or his is not to make the excuses. It's for reality to set him where he is as a health standpoint. It's for reality to set him for where he is with the ability to go out there and be able to play and make plays. And then at the same time, at always, and when you're talking about anything, the standard is the standard. Whether you're talking about our team having the ability to try to go get wins, or you just being able to go out there and play at your level based on what you can do. And then moving forward, looking at Tampa Bay, what are some of the things that you all can do to try to get two halves together? You had the first half last time, and so for where are going to be some of the keys this week to be able to go with those guys for the whole 60? For us on defense, we're talking about focus. We lost some focus and the second half had a couple mental errors. And then again, it doesn't really matter who's in there. We talked about the last time making a mistake with some of the people that were out there. We can't make those mistakes no matter who's out there. You got to own your role and you got to play your role. And then on offense, but you got to go out and continue to score. In the second half, they did a great job of coming out and not letting us finish by stopping us on third down. We got to keep the chains moving. We get the third downs and we got to stay out of those third and extra long situations. Will. Hey, Coach. In this last game against Tampa, Antoine Winfield made a big play against Calvin Ridley in the end zone. And I'm curious just what your evaluation of him was, maybe when he was coming out of the draft and getting a chance to kind of see some film on him in this season. Winfield is a very impressive young man. He's a very good player. He has the ability to play some safety, some nickel, so he can move and give you some really versatility. His ability to go out there and play and make plays on the football is similar to a guy that we played against a long time ago and his dad. His dad has definitely been a guy that's been in his ear. You can see it in his play and how he goes out to the ball and his ability to affect the game. He's a really good football player. He had a really high evaluation for us. And he's doing nothing but show it every play out there and every game out there this year with Tampa. And then how, I know that Matt is somebody who's been in this league for a long time, accomplished as much as you really can as a quarterback. But how impressed are you with his ability to respond these last two games after the way that he played in Los Angeles? He's come back with two of probably his best games of the season. You know, that doesn't shock me. I think we talked about this after the bad game in Los Angeles. It was the reason that I could be so frank with you guys about him just not playing well. When I told you guys our best player didn't play his best, I meant it. And then he came back and he bounced back and he came back to his normal self. And when he's his normal self, he goes to his process. He's able to go out there and eliminate all distractions. He's able to go out there and try to find a way to win each game. And we haven't been able to do that. So Matt's still not satisfied. He's still not happy until he can find a way to get the win. Jason? Hey, Reem. Sticking with Matt, just from this whole season, you know, going into week 17 here, from a leadership standpoint, how would you say Matt and Ryan has navigated this season with his teammates? You know, obviously he is one of the biggest leaders on our football team along with him, Julio, you know, Alex Mack on the offense. And they got a couple of other leadership figures on there. But when you're talking about being a quarterback, you automatically brush it into a leadership role. And he sets his leadership by example. And he sets his leadership by the standard that he makes these guys hold up to in the practice field. And I think those are the most important parts of his leadership. You know, Julio is kind of our connector. He connects everybody. He has the ability to talk to anybody in any space. And I know you guys don't get a chance to see that enough about Julio, but Matt is the guy that absolutely takes people to the practice field and absolutely holds the standard to a higher level than even his coaches. You know, nobody prepares like Matt. Nobody comes in the building like Matt. Nobody wants to get to the game and have the ability to try to win like Matt. And then Alex Mack, you know, this is, he's got obviously the contract coming up and after this game. What has he meant to this franchise over the last five years that you've gotten to get to know him? You know, I was really fortunate to get him in 2016. And when he came here, he immediately became a voice for our franchise. I remember him being a part of the recruiting process to get Muhammad Sunoo. You know, he had just signed his contract with us. He was in the building the same day. We were walking through with myself, Cal Shanahan, who had just came with him from Cleveland and knew exactly what he was and what he meant to that team and the leadership that he would bring to us. And he had already started a recruiting trail to get other people and to talk to other people in order to come join our football team. And he talked to Muhammad that day to go out there and happen in the game day. And what he's done throughout the years from that is nothing but go out and play in a Super Bowl while you had a broken leg. He's played a bunch of games for us and he's been to go out there and throw his body around and be just all around pro. He's been a guy that's been able to go out there and lead our old line and lead those guys into being a really good unit. And he got a lot of young players that are able to set great examples too for a long time. George. What's the key going to be to get the running game going against these guys and the challenges their personnel present to you guys? You know, George, we talked about it a little bit last week and how we wanted to get our run game going versus Kansas City. And we had a couple of different wrinkles in it. Some opening up with the receivers, some possible to run alerts to move some people outside of the box. This team in Tampa presents different challenges. They got some big people inside. They got a front eight that can just dominate you and these guys, you've got to grind them. You've got to keep trying to stay after it. You know, we'll probably have more attempts than we have success, but it is what it is. Sometimes you've got to hit yourself right across the face and hit it in the fan and see what you can get and try to get out of that thing and make some place. Thank you. Hey, coach, kind of a little bit of a big picture here. With a new year just a couple of days away. What will you remember the most about this 2020 season not focusing on the wins and the losses, just being able to complete a season with all the changes and everything and during a pandemic. What will you remember the most and what positives can you take away from it? You know, it's just the effort of the team, Allison. You know, these guys play hard every single week. You can question a lot of things about the team. You can question a lot about talent. You can question a lot about decision-making. You cannot question these guys' effort. They go out and they lay it on the line for all of us every single week and it is hurtful and it is meaningful to this organization, to this program, going to Arthur Blank. I mean, these guys play for all of those people and they are playing for me and I'm coaching for them and I think as vice-versa across the board just with the coaches and everybody in our building our whole organization is tied in. We're talking about people in our kitchen. We're talking about people that clean the building. The new people that just take that swab on noses every day want to win. So it is what it is, man. This is a family-like environment. Our culture here is as strong as it can ever be. You have people cheering and rooting for you. It is not a challenge, it is a great opportunity for us to play for them. Are there any other options? I would argue, people that want to win and are not very good at the center and are not very good at the center and will live up to those things. There are a lot of opportunities where you can win and they are doing very well. You are doing very well. There is a chance for us to win to beat the guy to the point is critical to get off the ball is critical it may not be as many second level blocks as you as you mainly would have versus a four three look you still get those four three looks obviously you go to your nickel or do you go to your blitz packages you move those guys around but Hennessy is far capable of doing those things it's something that we we drafted them in we looked at them forward and to be able to do that thing and the scout department a great man job of sorting that out and all the skills that you need in order to play center for so I'm just fired up to see get him ready to go you know obviously hoping Alex would be ready to go in and up to speed but we know those guys are all be ready and capable of doing the jobs and a couple of weeks ago the defense kept cambrade Rob Gorkowski and checking for the most part you guys kept Travis Kelsey and checked by sometimes and be putting a corner on him for Sunday so are you looking to maybe employ that kind of coverage again on grok and cambrade you know to nature you know these guys you got to do whatever you can to stop them you know you're talking about these tight ends these days that are big physical humans that can absolutely run routes and use their feet and get off blocks and get off and get off press coverage so you got to put everybody you can on them you know foyer brunts the loa for covering some of these big tight ends most of the time but every once in a while you got to put a corner on everyone so I get put different looks at them and throw different jabs at them so that's part of our package that's part of what we do so you definitely see a little bit of that Kelsey just following up on what you said about Fowler what exactly hasn't been good enough and what would you say to the people that wonder if his 11 and a half sacks last year was just a one-year wonder type of deal you know I wouldn't respond to any hypotheticals that'd be the first thing I wouldn't do he got 11 and a half sacks so you know a one-year deal would be something that would just be in a falsehood you know he has come out this year what had been good enough he hadn't had his sack numbers in order to play in his profession you got to be known for something and if you're gonna be known for getting sacks you got to go on and get sacks and you got to be consistent and you got to be consistent with your effort and right now you know he just hadn't had the numbers that you were gonna happen to ever relate to all the things that he's brought to us and that he's able to do so he'd be disappointed in what happened this season and I've got a feeling he will look forward to next year and absolutely getting out to people in his game in his game for a matter of fact sorry guys sorry bro we got time for one more follow-up anybody D leg you just dying to ask a question look at your desk sweet hat oh yeah yeah I was waiting I was waiting I was trying to give him another shot hey what you gotta do to make sure number 95 doesn't get loose on y'all you know you go out you play the game you do whatever you need to do and you got to block that guy you know obviously it is what it is you know you go play the game you play the game the win period
