 You guys will all make the 53. You guys show up day after day. You guys grind. I'm going to tell you that right now. You guys don't skip days. The pros, pros, do you like? Show up. Yeah, that's half the battle. So talk to them for a bit there at the end. Was that you not being happy? Was that end of year? You know, it's like I've been around the NFL the first day you introduce cards. Show teams is usually a cluster. And so that's not what I wanted because I think it's human nature to let your guard down. We're not trying to do anything stupid. We're not going to hear all out full speed scrimmage, but we expect speed and we expect the guys on the other side of it reading the cards to be professional and to get lined up. It's a great experience for everything. To me, it's how you develop guys. It's not just to sit there and feel good and be a highway cone so we can get 12 for 12 and feel good and then have an unrealistic pitch on Sunday. That's just a personal philosophy. I did that job for a lot of years. Ironically, John Gannon and I probably two best years with he and I doing it who will see the Philly D coordinator. So it's just the expectation and that's part of it. I wasn't very happy with it, but it picked up at the end and I just let him know. I mean, that's my job to get the thing rolling the way that we believe in the way we see fit. Frustrating for you guys, literally the last practice. You know what I'm saying? No, I'm more, no, I don't look at it like that. I look at it, that's why we put the schedule we did this week because you'd rather you go through that today than you are in week one and that's not to take it away. It's a big game for a lot of guys Sunday night and that's not to devalue the game in any way you say perform, but we're fortunate that it's preseason and it's part of the continuing education and we gotta do a better job. Like I'm not down, it's not gonna ruin my Friday. It's just know what the expectation is and these guys are responding and I expect it to be better next time we have a Friday practice. I realize maybe this might, I don't think this will get started, but have you made decisions yet? On what the plan will be for Sunday? Yeah, we're pretty sure. I mean, the majority of these guys will play. Again, we'll finalize it tomorrow in the staff meeting if there's anybody that may not and then, but I would expect the majority of you guys to play Sunday night. Yeah, coach, what do you want to see in this game where you're gonna have, you know, how much your start is playing, it looks like? Well, everybody's at different points. You know, the way we've gone about this preseason, it's been about developing and evaluating the young guys and at the same time, we feel good about the vets that we know are gonna be out there and the progress they've made, you know, we're in a new territory, you know, everybody's trying to figure out how you wanna handle only three pre-season game and but the reality is we're gonna play 17 regular season games. So it's all, that's the fun part. That's a fun challenge. So the way we look at it is we wanted these guys to get through a week to find a routine. So when we get into game week for Philadelphia, it's not the first time they're going through the schedule, how we'll do things in preparation. But it's still a big game. I mean, we got big decisions we gotta make by Tuesday afternoon. And so, you know, like I said, most of these guys will play, you know, some of the guys that we expect to start, they may play, but how long it's gonna determine how the game's going and really what the plan is, I'm not gonna give it away now. What the plan that we've got with the coordinators. So I know that's a long-winded vague answer, but that's where we're at. Yeah, I know a couple different ways to do it, get a couple series out of them or go to halftime and let them come back so they can get used to that routine. Sure. Are y'all trying to decide which is the best approach for you all? Yeah, it's, you know, the guys that, there's some guys that need snaps. So it's not the first snap, you know, and we too, I mean, excuse me, in two weeks for week one against Philly, and everybody's at different parts of their career, D-Led. You know, some of these young guys do need to play, how long, kind of, be determined how they're playing and what we're gonna get accomplished. Like I said, we're not gonna have some elaborate scheme, not gonna sit there and try, in a pre-season game, try to trick Kevin Stafanski and his staff so we can feel good about an Instagram highlight. Trying to do is make sure we got guys that can get in and out of the huddle, that can block, that can tackle in space, they can get open and catch the football and in a quarterback that can drop back and deliver the football. So it's pretty much what we're looking to get out of Sunday night. Josh, how's he coming with his package for Sunday? Josh's done a nice job, you know, he's in a unique situation, and it's a life of guys in that spot that get signed and at that position, and he's a smart guy, he's prepared all week, and we'll see him at some point Sunday night. I think you said on Monday that you felt good about a third of the roster decisions, is it still around that? Yeah, I mean, like I said, some of these is like, who are you kidding, right? We know Jake's gonna be our left tackle, and he's at a good camp, and he's earned it. So there is some of that. You're paying a left tackle a lot of money, and then he's at a bad camp, and we got big problems, and we feel good about Jake, and we feel good about Matt Ryan, and we feel good about Grady Jarrett. So those are the, it's like Captain Obvious, like, sit here and play games, but those guys will start against Philadelphia. There should be air-shattering news. Now, the mix of guys too, you know, who we're gonna play at left guard, who's gonna be the right tackle. We have a pretty good idea right now, but let it play out really over this Sunday night and next week as well, and there's some of our packages in defense. Can you kind of just walk me through? Yeah, I mean, some of it just practicality. Cause that's the fine line, right? We don't wanna keep him out here forever on Friday. We feel pretty good about our preparation, what we gotta walk through, it's a fine line. If it's a normal week, you know, you know who's gonna be, for the most part, who's gonna be in there. Now you're kind of, you got a couple of things going on. We're trying to make sure the vets are getting ready. Yes, some may play more than others, but we're really ultimately getting them ready for September 12th. And we got the young guys, we gotta prepare to play Sunday night and to make sure that they're in a rhythm of what an NFL week would feel like. Get to the stadium. They feel good about the calls they've used all week, cause that's reality. So there's kind of, you know, mixing and matching. And then you get in here and you combine a card a period in the scout team and then we're subbing guys. So yeah, this is one of the harder, I don't say harder, I don't like that language. It's one of the more complex practices of the year we'll have in that way. Going back, it's really January, but when you called the, did you expect him to say yes? Yes. You do? What was it that told you, hey, I think you're hiding. Just because I'd had a couple of conversations with him and then my joke at, I don't know what the cutoff is. I had to go back and look at, I think Jimmy Johnson's one of the only guys that said really stayed retired. I don't know what the cutoff is. I'm not gonna give predictions on myself, but I don't know, let's call it 58 years old. The guys I know that coached past 58 when they retired, they really really retired. So I don't know, maybe they need to do some research. He seems to be the only guy that's ever stayed retired. And I think a joke gives. Think of multiple coaches. I mean, Dean, you know, I don't think Dick LaBeau really ever wanted to retire. Tom Moore hasn't retired, but that's the running joke. Like the guys coaching their 60s, they probably never truly retire. You'd probably convince them to come out. When you decided that you wanted to go with Dean, how much of that was he's been around for so long? He can be a sounding board for you versus. Yeah, there's a lot of factors. One is no one, all right, what are my, you know, this is year one for me as a head coach and still gonna call the plays and hiring a good staff and the right guys is everything. And so obviously I had worked with Dean, trust Dean, knew he was somebody that I can bounce ideas off of and understand that he can handle defensive coordinator role. Where my inexperience, right? This is the year one for me is, and he's been coaching 48 years. So, and the person he is and, you know, the whole staff, they're all big hires, but that that was a critical hire coming out of the gate for me. Okay. He was talking yesterday about like, I don't know, when he was doing film study and everything, when he got the job and he said that the Kansas City game, he was like, that was the expectation for this defense. He was like, that's what I look at as the expectation and how I know these guys can play. Sure. Did you have a similar game when you were going back? Like I was trying to figure out if there was an equivalent for you maybe with the offensive side of things that you look at? Not really. It was really looking at the whole season. I mean, you can see, I mean, there was a lot of yards game, but ultimately, you know, you're judged about wins and losses. So it was more kind of diving in why I thought maybe things happen. Okay. Personnel like who can we realistically come back and a lot of those are financial decisions. Other than just schematic decisions. So I tried to keep an open mind about that. And then just knowing that there's some familiarity because we played this team and when I was in Tennessee and we played Atlanta in 2019. So I went back to some of that to confirm or sometimes, you know, it's funny how your memories work. You can misremember things and you need to go back to actually fact check yourself. So there were some of that too. When the starters are out there against the Browns we'll send them back. Well, again, we'll decide, we'll be the true, you know, the starting 11 of the affiliate, we'll, you know, we'll make the termination. But again, we think the majority of the guys will play, but it's more getting up, getting the call in, playing good fundamentals, defense, make sure we're in the right call. And obviously we want to see guys tackle. I mean, that's usually the issue early in the season. You know, it's not the old days, and I know everybody used to tackle a lot more in practice. And we don't want to be the team that's missing a lot of open field tackles early in the season. Thank you, thank you for coming out.
