 Hey, I'm here at my age, every day is great when you get up. Well, the guys are just going to have to step up. You got, you know, Hawke will step up. I mean, he was rotating a lot in there anyhow. Doran's been going almost the whole time. We've got Sean Williams. Now it's going to have to step up. We put him in, you know, even was up a little bit last week. But he's been a guy that's, you know, I feel like a very capable guy. So some of those guys just kind of step up and replace him, you know, and keep it going. For the passing line, it's a good thing for that. How do you feel when you get one that works like that? Oh, you always, you know, every time you run some kind of something new that you put in, you know, you're hoping that, you know, the guys do a good job with it and they did a great job with it. I mean, it's, I draw it up, but they're the ones that got to execute it. You know, there's a lot of things we've drawn up and you don't know it, but they didn't, you know, it didn't happen. And so this one, it's always the players that are going to make the plays. It's not going to be me. So it's easier to draw the scheme up than it is to actually do the scheme. So my job was easy. There's was the hard one and they executed it. That's it. You just, you just named it. Oh, I mean, I don't even, the answer, you just answered it. It's just, they're a very good offensive football team that can really run the ball well. And they got really talented players, whether it be Kittle, whether it be Daniel Becker, you know, 19 back there or what, it doesn't matter. I mean, they're, they run the ball well. They got Mack, the offensive center that was here. I mean, the guy's been an all pro guy for years and years, they got a good offensive line. They got a great scheme. They do a lot of stuff. So, I mean, it's, it's not an easy offense to defend. And it's not only just because of the formations and all the stuff they do, it's, and it's also the talent, it's just a, it's really good scheme that fits their talent very well. I mean, Kyle's done a great job and he's always done a great job every place that he's been. I have a really a lot of respect, a lot of respect for him. Well, he's a safety, but the thing of it is, is we've been in nickel so much, he's still a safety. So, I mean, he's still got the role as a safety in there. It's just that he has kind of taken over that nickel spot. And when, you know, when you're out here in practice, you only get so many reps and so many of them are base and so many of them are maybe some kind of penny or nickel sub, you know, sub package. And so it's kind of hard to get him in and play a lot of safety and get a lot of reps at safety when you're trying to give him a lot of reps at nickel. So, he is still a safety, but he's really primarily the nickel first. And he's, so I'm not, that's something you feel, would that change maybe based off of opponent and off the team? Depends on how much. There's a small spot, maybe you'd use Darren or Avery more than, I'm just wondering. It's not, yeah, sure it's about the opponent, but it's also about what we're gonna do, whether we're gonna play a lot of man, we're gonna play a lot of zone, we're gonna blitz a lot, we're gonna pressure a lot. It's all those things that are a factor, also the team that you're playing, what personnel are they gonna be in? Is it gonna be a bigger personnel? Is it gonna be a smaller personnel? I mean, there's so many factors, depending on who's gonna be the nickel and where guys are actually gonna play. Every week basis, when they're facing a guy. Well, the thing of it is not, not really, because if you, I know you guys aren't necessarily out there, I don't think when we run our team stuff, but we don't, it's not like the one offense is going against the one defense a whole lot. So, I haven't seen C.P. over there on the scout team offense very often. And our guys, we're running against guys that are going off cards, so that it, if we're doing something maybe against the offense, yeah, but we do so little of that during the week when the season starts, that I don't know that that really is really a big factor. I mean, and they use him, they use him similar, but not the same. So, it's, you know, it's, it might help slight, but it would be slight. College safety transitioning to the linebacker position. I'm just curious from your eyes and from your standpoint, do you ever see remnants of that, like past of playing safety, playing into kind of what he does at linebacker, ever? Probably, not really the physical part of it, but it's probably been easier for him in certain situations, I would say, to understand the scheme of the defense, especially in the passing game, having played safety as opposed to being a linebacker all your life. Guys that are in the back end kind of have to know what's going on in front of them. Because you sometimes got to know where you got to fit in the run game. There's a lot of things, you got to know all the formations where everybody is, what their splits are, all that kind of stuff. Well, when you're a linebacker, that stuff was all very valuable too. You know, I know if the guy splits not very wide, maybe what he might be running is it going to really affect my drop as a linebacker. And I also kind of know what the front guys are doing. It's very seldom do the defensive line really care what the secondary's doing the other way around. But the guys in the back end have to know what the linebackers are doing and sometimes the line's doing. So it certainly helps him from that standpoint just in the overall scheme of defense, probably understanding defense, especially in the passing game. Being the vocal leader of this defense and getting everybody lined up, I know I've asked you about this before, but it's kind of been a while. I mean, kind of coming in and giving him that responsibility, how do you think he's kind of morphed himself into, I guess, a vocal leader of this defense? Oh, I think he's really grown in that aspect. I think what a lot of guys have and I think what Foyer has, which is a good attribute, is probably I would guess and he would have to answer it, but I'm just saying I think from just being around players for so long, a lot of times young guys like that kind of give up the role of being a leader to the guys that had kind of always assumed that leadership role, such as Grady, such as Dion, those guys that are always kind of have been there and always everybody's looked at day one as kind of your leaders. No two guys happen to be captains. But I think what happens, so sometimes you're a little bit reluctant to be real vocal and like I'm not trying to take over your leadership job, but I think he has now learned that that is part of his job and it doesn't take anything away from those guys. Richie Grant is kind of similar situation. He kind of felt like I've kind of got to give way to Duran and Eric because those guys are older guys that have established and all that stuff. So as a rookie, I got to know my place and just stay down here and kind of let them take charge. And I've told him early on, that's not why we drafted you. We drafted you because of Central Florida, you were a take charge guy. We need that. But I think the reluctance is always to give way to those veteran guys. And I've seen it every place I've ever been when you went in to New England and you got Bruce Key and Ray Bull sitting there. Guys didn't want to all of a sudden get out there and start telling everybody what to do because here's Bruce Key and Ray Bull, they've been doing it or Ray Lewis at Baltimore or just Wesley Woodard at Tennessee. There's always those guys that are kind of established and young guys have a reluctance to do that. But I think in your case, what you've asked me is Foyer has kind of learned that that's not taking anything away from Dion. It's not taking anything away from Jared. So it's just, he has gotten better and better and better at assuming that role. Well, just the whole concept of coverage. The first thing that our nickel controls kind of everything. He doesn't necessarily always have to make the calls but his alignment dictates everything to us. So he's had to learn, okay, and I get this formation and here's where I got to be and I got to make a call and let everybody know where the nickel's right or left or what it is because that sets up everything that we do. And do I motion with the guy? Do I not motion with the guy? If I run a pressure, what am I communicating to the front, to the linebacker? All that stuff, he's had to learn to communicate a lot and that's what our safeties have to do. So being a nickel and being a safety is kind of all the same thing. They have got to be great communicators. So it's, I've had a hundred, every place I've been, I've had a safety to play nickel. You know, every place. And nickels, when they would eventually move back to safety. You know, maybe when they started losing a little bit of their speed, they'd go back to a safety instead of playing nickel. But they're interchangeable. All three of them are, the two safeties and the nickel are all interchangeable. Yeah, he didn't have to do all that stuff. I mean, he laughs at me all the time when I say something because I would make reference to Central Florida or something like that. And we didn't do too much of that back then. And so it's just, you know, he's got a, yeah, it's, but that's the, the more that's, it's like we talked about so many times in the past is it's just not going to happen overnight, you know? But the more they do it, the more comfortable they become with it, the easier it becomes for them. But you got to keep doing it and doing it. And you're sometimes going to go through some bad pains, you know, getting it done. But if you keep switching all the time, you're never ever going to get better at it and learn it. You know, if you just keep going, well, all right, I'm going to make it easy for them and I'll just do this. Well, but then they're never going to learn to do the stuff that you really want them to do. Then you're starting all over next year, trying to teach them the new stuff. You just got to do it. And, you know, I mean, we're not crazy. If we go through something for the weekend, it doesn't look good all week. We're not going to run it in the game. But the point of it is you got to try it to see if they can do it. If you don't ever try it, how do you know if they can ever do it? So those guys are just starting to feel more comfortable doing stuff. And then when you tweak it, it's not like this wholesale, like there's not this panic attack, like, oh man, this is different. It's probably got some similarities so they kind of can fall into it. So, you know, we're doing more and more all the time. Where their eyes are just given the nature of the offense. Oh, absolutely. I mean, this is a physical football team that we're playing that does a lot of stuff in the run game and a lot of moving parts. I mean, they are all over the place. Somebody's moving darn near every play and it's not always the same guy. It's not like, okay, well, that's the guy that's the motion guy. No, they motion 44, they motion 15, they motion 81, they motion 85, they motion them all. So, you know, it's not something in, I mean, they do it for a reason. So you just, you got to lock in at your position. You got to play really good technique and you really got to play disciplined football. We can't be running around and doing our own thing or it's going to, it will get ugly. Does he tend to find violators and keep on hammering them? If he finds a guy who he can move, who he can get in the wrong place? On who now? Kyle Shanahan. Kyle. Does he single out a violator and pick on him all game? I think he'll do that, but I think more than that, he'll figure out the scheme that you're playing and figure out how to go attack the scheme. He's going to figure out a way that I can get a guy having a good angle on this guy and then if they're going to bump the front, then am I going to do this? And he just, he's, I've always had a lot of respect for him, he does a great job on offense of figuring that stuff out. I'm sure it's always, everybody always has, every offensive coordinator feels like if they got a guy they can pick on, either running the ball or throwing the ball on, that's always going to be the case. But I think what Kyle does a great job of is figuring out your defensive scheme, your coverage, how you're playing things and then attacking that. I think that's what he does a great job of. And you've talked about in the past, like you're no more close to, you know, I guess it was like a month and a half or eight to say it, it was like a 25, 30%. Where is it at when I guess, for you in a season, how much do you end up ever truly getting in year to year? Oh, you never get in all of it. I don't know, maybe in the playbook, when you get all said and done at the end of the year, you might have 60% in, 70% maybe of all your book in. Cause some of the stuff is not pertinent. Maybe to the team, you never play a team that this was good against three years ago, but it's not good now, but it's still in the book. I mean, it's still a part of it. But I don't know, it's, each week we add a little bit more and more. And I wouldn't say, you know, we're still a long ways, but it doesn't really matter how much we get in. And what really just matters is, is what we're doing effective. That's all. It doesn't really matter whether I get 70% in or 50% in or whatever. It's just, are the guys feeling more comfortable doing what we're doing without adding stuff and then making them uncomfortable? Cause if it gets to that point, then we did too much. So it's just a matter of, can they handle it and can they play well doing what we want them to do? Yeah, we do. We add a little something, not much, but maybe we'll add some. And some weeks might not add anything cause it may, it's not really gonna be something that's really gonna help. You gotta look at everything and say, you know, why do you wanna put something in? Sometimes more is not better and sometimes less is better. Sometimes you take stuff out. So it's just every week is such a different week. Every week. I mean, this offense is so different than last week. And so it's just different quarterbacks. Everything's different. So every week's that way. When we played Tom a couple of weeks ago, there's a lot of different than this one. And so it's just, you know, every week is a different week. Guys good? Appreciate it. Thank you.
