Declan Doyle, Dennis Allen, Richard Hightower reflect on week 8, look towards Week 9 | Chicago Bears

What is what’s the ideal in your world target share for a number one receiver? Target share. I I think the biggest thing is that you want to be multiple enough that um you know teams can’t just key on that one player. I think it depends on you know what your weapons are. Obviously for us you know we’re very fortunate to have a lot of them. Um and so you really don’t want to be you know saying hey this is this guy’s got to catch you know 12 ball. We don’t we don’t really want to be force-feeding one player. Um, at the same point in time, you want to make sure that, uh, our guys are primary in the read in a lot of the plays that we’re going to call. Um, and so as we put the game plan together, that’s taken into account quite a bit. Uh, whether that’s a wide out, a tight end, or a back. Um, that’s something that you always need to be looking at. And I think it changes week to week based on the matchups and and who we’re playing. Caleb and Rome seem to have pretty good chemistry with each other. Do you have to caution against locking on Rome if you’re I don’t think you need to caution against anything. I think it’s always um if Rome is first in the progression, that’s who we need to be looking at. Um if Rome is late in the progression, then your eyes need to be on one and and progress to two and three. Um we kind of let the plays take care of themselves as far as that goes. Um but I don’t think anytime your quarterback and and a player have good chemistry, I don’t think that’s a bad thing. I think we we encourage that. Where is Coulson now from like the start of the season or training camp in terms of the the mastery of the offense and knowing his what he needs to do? Uh I would say he has a really good feel for the offense. Um there’s really not obviously the offense changes week to week and evolves. Um and so there are new things for all of our guys whether that’s uh conceptually routes, run game stuff. Um he does a great job of learning the new stuff. I think he’s got a great feel for uh working in combination with the tackles, other tight ends in the run game. Um, you know, I would say he’s he’s pretty far advanced for a rookie. Uh, and you know, I’ve been impressed by the way he carries himself. Zack, that Caleb took on that first drive. Is that an instance where you’d want to see him use his athleticism down there? Yeah, I think uh so that one you’re referring to was like third and seven from the seven. Um, we end up taking a sack there. We we get pressured off the left side. Obviously, if you felt it, we would love for him to for uh him to be able to evade and kind of create something down there. um we were still playing within the progression and I don’t feel like he’s he felt that and so uh we end up taking a sack. If he had felt it obviously we would love for him to kind of create a new play there in a situation like that. How do you get him to sense pressure better like right there? Uh I I would say that’s more a question of uh us blocking that protection better. You know that was really early in the protection. Um his eyes are to the right reading the concept. Uh there are times, you know, the left side’s referred to as the blind side for a reason. You know, he can’t really see that. Uh he has a better feel than a lot of people for uh feeling that and getting himself out of trouble. But right there, there was a that was an instance where he’s playing to his right. Um if he felt it, if we get, you know, the check out uh out a little bit earlier, maybe that’s where the ball goes before he’s able to um before he gets sacked there. But uh really that’s, you know, uh we got to do a better job with the protection. What have you seen with uh uh the red zone struggles? Does Caleb need to use his his leg more legs more? Did you need to pass more in the red zone? Uh I would say the red zone struggles have been on all of us. And as you look at them uh sequentially, you know, pulling up that that last game, you know, you you might look at and say, “Hey, there’s one play I look at and there’s like there’s four plays that um if our precision and our detail is better on any one of those four plays, we probably come away with seven points in both of those first two drives.” Um and that’s the thing that we have to really hone in and and there’s no magic answer. There’s no if there was we would we’d be going out and doing it. Um, but it’s really our ability to execute with the precise details. What we’re asking our guys to do uh in those critical moments are going to lead to sevens rather than threes. On the one red zone scramble that that Caleb had early in the game, what did you see on that? It ends up being a two- yard game with Hamilton coming up and getting I’m trying I’m trying to think about which play you’re referring to. Oh. Oh, you’re talking about he’s he’s working left there. Um yeah, obviously uh I was good with him that we end up uh kind of covered up with the the tight end. We were really covered down and so um he’s going to pull that ball down and try to make a play with his legs. The only coaching point there is we just got to find a way to get the first down and keep ourselves out of that short yardage situation. Um and so that you know really he he’s going to be able to kind of knife inside of where Hamilton is and be able to go get a first down, make us goal to go. lost the entirety of the first quarter back from Sunday. What were your lasting feelings knowing how well you guys moved the football but yet came away with home? I think it’s the same thing. It’s the uh the details down in the red zone and those those sequences, you know, we end up in that short yardage situation, we fall start and then uh really that next play we have a really good play called for the coverage. We don’t execute it quite as well. We end up scrambling and completing a ball to Rome there. Um, and then over those next three plays, really, you could look at every one of them and and there are specific details as far as how we want those plays to go or how we want them to be executed that we didn’t do a great job on offense. Um, and really the same thing with that second drive. And uh, so you’re encouraged because you’re like, hey, we’re moving the ball and yet uh, it’s not up to our standard and it has to get corrected. Cincinnati ranks 30th in red zone defense. Have you seen how teams have been able to take advantage of of that? Yeah. Um I don’t want to give away any sort of like uh schematic uh thing, but I would say this like uh teams are doing a good job of trying to stress, you know, their coverages and fronts they play. I think they’re a young and hungry group. Um you know, I certainly have a lot of respect for their coaching staff and what they do. Um but, you know, teams are are going down and and they’re attacking the specific coverages that they’re seeing and and uh doing a good job of executing it down there. Boost is it to get Cole back and how valuable would you say he is in the run game? because obviously when you hear about a tight end, you just hear about receptions and yards and stuff. Yeah, I think Cole does a great job in the run game. Um Cole’s a really good player and so anytime he can be back as a part of the offense, um you know, we’re excited about that. Um I think the other two tight ends have been doing a great job as well. You know, Durham is a guy that probably is overlooked in some ways, uh who’s done a great job in the run game for us. Um but anytime you get Cole back, you’re you’re fired up on that. How did Azie do in that heavy role that you guys had him in last Yeah, he only had a handful of plays. Um, you know, I think there was, uh, you know, he’s down in that that goal line rep. I thought he did a good job. Obviously, the play doesn’t, uh, work out quite as well because we had a, um, an issue elsewhere. But, um, Azy’s done a good job with everything we’ve asked of him. Um, anytime he’s gone out there, I think that we trust him. We we trust that he’s going to do it uh, the way, you know, we’re coaching it during the week. And so, u, there’s comfort in putting a player out like that. How different is their defense with Trey Hendricks about this? Uh Trey’s a really good player and so I was I was with Trey in New Orleans um when he was a lot younger. Um and I I’m really imp I was too. Absolutely. I’ve always been really impressed by Trey. He’s a really productive edge player. Um you know he he’s a great player on any defense and so um obviously when he’s a part of their scheme uh he’s he’s going to provide challenges for you. On the third down and six play for DeAndre Swift. What did you like about what Caleb Williams did to adjust the play to get you guys in position to execute there? Yeah. Um on the deep uh 25 yard screen pass for for DeAndre. Oh. Oh yeah. Yeah. Um so we end up with we had a play called that uh really was calling for a screen there. Um you know, we had a couple of mechanics as far as changing the play. Um I believe on that one we were able to kind of just stick with it and roll. Uh Swift did a great job of bluffing it. We caught it into zero pressure and so um really we kicked that ball out there and there’s not a whole lot of bodies left. Our O line did a great job of getting connected downfield as did the wide outs. Um and I think uh Marlon Humphrey ends up running that play down from the inside. He did a really good job of of making a play. We end up scoring a touchdown on that drive. Um but Caleb does a good job of placing that ball um right where Swifty can and can go get it and and uh it’s a runner’s ball and we’re rolling. Now that you’ve had a handful of games with Theo out there, what what um do you like that he’s provided and where can he sort of keep taking steps forward? Yeah, I think Theo’s athleticism in the run game is a is a positive. Um as you watch the tape, you know, we can continue to do a better job in uh in protection um as well as in combination at times in the run game. Um so obviously, you know, he provides some value for us as far as uh denting the line of scrimmage. and there are other areas that we’re we’re continuing to work with him and and try to get better. The offense has struggled with QB sneaks. I know Ben said he didn’t like the situation, no timeouts. I get that. From a straight up execution standpoint of the QB sneak that failed in Baltimore, the two earlier in the year in Detroit, why what is it like not leading it to not work? What needs to change with that? Uh on the the one you’re referring to in the game, um we need to align tight so that we close the backside C gap. Uh we were aligned in the back field there. Um, and so if that was a little bit cleaner, we may be able to kind of pry that gap open. Um, most of the time those are case by case because a lot of times they happen in short yardage situations where uh, teams vary a lot front to front. Um, but in the one you’re referring to, we got to do a better job of of being tight at the skill positions and being able to create kind of that that dent uh, for Caleb to go get that that yard that we need. this team is still averaging uh more than two false starts from what can be cleaned up in the pre-amp with a lot of these Yeah. So, we we’ve gone back and kind of looked at every penalty we’ve committed. Um just trying to obviously we’re all looking to clean all those things up throughout the whole team, but um we’re kind of using some unorthodox things as far as uh out there on the practice field that you might not see. Um, but it’s something that we’re addressing and and is really important for us to be able to stay on schedule and and um be able to move the ball offensively and and be effective and finish with touchdowns. Like what what’s I don’t I don’t want to give uh I don’t want to give any of that away. Um every penalty though, is that something that you just did this week and went back? We’ve done it uh every week as we’ve gone. Um and you’re just trying to identify can we teach it better? um are we asking our guys to do things that are are too much for them um or is there an issue whether it’s communication or is there something happening that um is causing those things and that’s really as we evaluate it that’s what we’re trying to attack you figure out what what is the problem and then you know create a plan to attack that approach though in practice to try to to help this we we yeah we’ve kind of gradually um done that as the season has gone on but yes is there more pressure like do would guys respond better to pressure in those situations from the staff like I I don’t know. It’s kind of absurd to think a guy might get benched in here. You don’t have a 90man roster like they bench guys in college when things like that happen. Yeah. How does it how can when guys are, you know, getting flagged repeatedly and like there’s no real like in-game consequence for it. What is the solution to make sure it doesn’t happen? Really, it’s uh the work that you’re doing in practice and making sure that every rep, whether it’s a walkthrough or a game rep, um is consistent with what Sunday is going to be like. And so, uh that’s the number one thing. and making sure the communication and all those things. And then uh to your point, if if guys are continuing to hurt the the team and hurt the offense, then you have to look at at other solutions. Um but the way we’re attacking that right now is is process driven. Thank you, guys. How we doing? Good. How are you? Standing right far away. What do you can you kind of walk us through the early stages of Chanty when you got him after you drafted him? like kind of what you saw early on to move him to the nickel spot. Um yeah, look, I think that was part of the the whole evaluation process that we that we went through. Um you know, um we saw a really good athlete. Uh we saw a highly competitive player and and we felt like that was a an easy fit for us back then, you know. So, uh he he he had played a little bit there. where he played some safety. Um, and we felt like at that point in time, you know, it was kind of best to find kind of one spot for him and let him get comfortable in one spot. Um, and uh, and he did a nice job for us. He has a reputation of being a guy can get under player skin. Obviously, you coached him in New Orleans. What’s your say in terms of what makes him an aggressive player, but also walking that fine line? Yeah, look, I mean, I think he’s a highly competitive player. Um and uh I think he goes out there and competes on every single play and so um that’s fully what I would expect for him to do uh you know with us. So um I think it you know he brings a little attitude to the football team uh which I think is good. Is is he a different player now from maybe a couple years ago maybe maturing with age or whatever it might be. I think we all mature with age. You know what I mean? Like I think all of us you know we make some mistakes as we’re younger and kind of learn from them and we kind of move on. Um, I’ve seen a player that’s matured a little bit. Um, you know, and yet he still has that fiery attitude, which I think that’s what makes him who he is. With Jamar Chase, uh, what’s kind of the most dangerous tool in in that in the toolbox of this? All of it, you know what I mean? Um, look, he he’s got good speed. Um, he’s got a really good catch radius. He really basically catches anything that’s that’s anywhere near him. Um, and uh, he does a great job of getting in and out of breaks. I mean, his transition skills are outstanding. He’s just a I mean, he’s a he’s an exceptional player. Um, and you know, when you watch the tape, you know, especially over the last few weeks, you know, they’re feeding some targets to him. Um and and there’s times I look on the tape, I’m like there there’s two dudes draped all over him and they’re still throwing the ball to him, you know. So they got a lot of confidence in and what he can do and um you know, he’s an explosive player and somebody that’s going to be a challenge for us to have to deal with. You faced him a few years ago. What stands out about that that matchup the first time you got to see him out there? All look, all those same things, you know. I mean, uh I he’s a he’s a he’s a damn good football player. Um, and he’s going to be a guy that we’re going to have to pay attention to and know where he’s at. Um, and yet he’s not the only one that’s on the field that we got to deal with, you know. So, um, he he’ll be a big part of what we what we have to do game plan wise, but they’ve got some other weapons that we have to deal with, too. What have you seen from Austin Booker in practice and what are your expectations for him? I really think the last couple of weeks, I think he’s been outstanding in practice, you know, and so, um, you know, I I I think, you know, he’ll he’ll, uh, he’ll get an opportunity to get out there. I think this week and uh you know we’ll we’ll see we’ll see exactly what he can do but I’m excited about watching him play for sure. Kevin Byer told us yesterday that Garner Johnson took all the reps in yesterday’s practice. Where is his comfortability right now in your scheme? Um I look I think there’s some recall in terms of you know what we’ve done with him before. Um, I think that was kind of the plan kind of coming in is let’s try to force feed some of the information to him, force feed some of these reps to him and then, you know, see where he’s at. Um, and so yesterday was a step in the right direction in that regard. Uh, we’ll see how it goes today. Today’s more of a third down emphasis. So, we’ll just monitor that, see how it goes throughout the week, and then, you know, obviously we’ll make some decisions, uh, as we get closer to the end of the week. How similar is your scheme today to what it was from 2019 to 21 with them? Um, yeah, I think there’s a lot of carryover. I think there’s a lot of similarity. Um, and yet there’s there’s some things that are that are different, some things we’re doing, you knew new new. I think every year you have to evolve a little bit. You know, I don’t think you can just, you know, throw the playbook down each and every year and say this is what we do. Um, you have a starting point. You have a foundation. Um, and yet, you know, each and every year is going to be different because each year you have a different unit, you know, so you try to find out what what you’re able to do well. Um, try to emphasize those things as much as you can and try to, you know, stay away from some of the things that you might not be quite as good at, you know, and I think each year that that changes. Um, from a foundation standpoint, I think there’s a lot of similarities. With a with Austin coming back, is there more of an opportunity now to potentially play Dio inside? I know Ben talked about it yesterday as some of his best players. I look, I I think when we when we um you know, this offseason when we evaluated Dio, I thought that was one of the best things that he did was his inside rush and and yet we haven’t really been able to use him a whole lot uh in there. And so, um, yeah, I think I think we’ll see how the games play out, but I think that that could, you know, lend us being able to use him a little bit more inside. What do you think’s holding him back as an edge rusher right now? Well, look, I mean, I think probably the biggest thing that’s holding any of us back is in terms of edge rushing is um you know, we we’ve got to get into some of these games where we can, you know, get the score in a in a position where um you know, they’re having to throw every down. Uh it’s much harder to rush the passer when you’re in a you know, run play action down than when they’re in, you know, a drop back mode. I think um you know our ability toffect to affect the passer or affect the passing game um I think has been demonstrated some in terms of third down when you know that’s really kind of a passing situation. There’s different things that we can do u you know in terms of can we bring a bring an extra rusher um do we drop the ends you know there’s different things that we can do but I do think you know when we’ve got into situations where it’s a an obvious passing down uh I do think there’s been some things that we we’ve done to be able to affect the passer how is how has Joe Flacco been able to stay in the league as long as he’s been able to uh it’s probably a better question for him and yet I would say this I would say uh you know he’s He’s he’s a he’s a professional. You you you know that that he he understands football. He works at it. He studies at it. Uh you don’t come in, you know, in one week and play the quarterback position uh without, you know, having some some real intelligence about you in terms of what what you can do. And um you know I think you know one thing that’s you know doesn’t change when he’s 41 when he was 25 when he’s 55 you know he can spin it you know and and I think he throws the ball exceptionally well because his experience does that kind of shrink the margin for error in the secondary in the sense that he has seen so much that he is if he has time back there he’s going to find wherever the laps yeah look I think anytime you play one these veteran quarterbacks that’s been around the league for a long time and seen a lot of things. You know, you have to be on point. U there’s not a lot of things that you can get away with. Um you know, there’s not a lot of things that really fool fool those guys. Um so, you know, we’re going to have to be we’re going to have to execute and and and really honestly that that’s the same each and every week. You know, our ability to go out and execute um and do our jobs and do them exactly right. Um when we do those things uh we have a high probability of success. Speaking of third down um in the passing situations, what how high is your level of um how pleased are you with how you guys have performed in those situations considering the factors that you’ve had to deal with on a weekly basis with with guys being out? Yeah, look, I mean, you know, I think those possession downs, third and fourth down, I mean, I think those are critical downs. our ability to, you know, get off the field um is is is important. And so, um we put a lot of emphasis on that. Um and I think our guys have responded to the game plan each and every week, uh the changes that we make, um how we want to try to attack the offense. Um I think they’re doing a good job of studying how the offense is going to try to attack us, you know, looking for their their opportunities to make plays. Uh so yeah, I’ve been pleased with what we’ve been able to do in terms of third down defense and yet, you know, we’re really not quite to the halfway point. So we still got a long way to go. And and uh uh but but our ability to get off the field um you know, on third down or fourth down, I think uh is big in terms of, you know, our success not only defensively, but you know, overall on on the football team. Awesome. Thank you guys. Thank you. All right. Afternoon. Afternoon. How are you doing? Good. How are you all? Good. All right. Go ahead. The beard out. Looks to be that way. Go ahead, coach. Other than the kick being short, were you pleased with the just the execution on that Mayday situation right before halftime? Yeah. Uh I was, coach. I really was. I thought that was outstanding. you know, the communication, uh, proud of the operation and, uh, the execution in which, uh, the offense got off the field, uh, in a timely fashion and the field goal team got on. Um, if you look around the league, there are a number of examples of people not being able to execute that for whatever reason. So, I was uh, thoroughly pre pleased with how our guys uh, executed and operated in that situation. Um, unfortunately, like you said, unfortunately the kick was a yard short there. Um, but really, you know, you go around and you look around the league. I mean, you know, I could think just off the top of my head, Minnesota had one uh not too long ago was a 53 yard was even shorter and they didn’t get that one. and uh you know Miamiy’s had two uh in backto-back weeks and and executed um to their liking and then the Kansas City had one early you know in a year uh where they they rushed on and got a real long one. So um you always like to see guys operate and see see guys not have a fire drill that looks unorganized or looks like they’re not um prepared properly. So I was uh very happy with that part of it. Now, next time we get a chance, we just got to make the kick. In your experience, does the does the kind of the rush aspect of rushing out there, can that affect the length of the kick, like in other words, does the time is there any data that shows like a timeout would result in longer kicks or anything? Yeah, I mean, there’s there’s the sample size is not huge enough at times of certain yardages. Um, but I know what you’re asking and where you’re going. And definitely the more time you have, the better because it feels like a normal field goal. Um, the less time you have, the kicker doesn’t have time to take his steps or his approach. Uh, and the snap is coming super fast. And the best thing you can do is get your guys out there and get everybody set, you know, um, so that you have enough time to go there. But it is, you’d be surprised as many times you do it. somebody, hey, he’s not paying attention or hey, somebody ran the wrong way off of the field and now you got guys coming on the field, running into guys coming off of the field and they fall on the ground and it just looks like a circus. So, um, from that standpoint, I thought our guys did a nice job. How much time do you want in that situation? Yeah, I mean, it varies for different it it’s a great question, Courtney, but it really depends on where you are on the field. Some people’s clock is 25 seconds. Some people’s clock is 23 seconds. Um, obviously if it’s further down the field, like in the red zone, it’s hard to get it at, you know, 22 seconds depending on how long the offensive play uh was, you know, and then those guys have to run off. If it’s further back on the field, like a longer one, then, you know, you can I’ve seen that one done in 19 seconds, you know, because they don’t have as far. So we we practice all of those different ones um all of the time uh at different times. Sometimes it’s a you know a milk it slashble bleed it whatever you want to call it where it’s a lot more time and then sometimes you you know you put them under the number so that you stress that the hell out of them in practice so that when they get in the game it feels like it’s easier and that’s what that’s what we usually do. We put them in the toughest situation so that it looks like it looks on game day. In that situation, do they not swap in the K ball? Well, it you would love to get one in, but it’s not promised to you. And then obviously we know that the data on the K balls are going, you know, further. So, um you got a more likelihood of a chance of making it if you can get a K ball uh in there. It going further. Like if you look at that kick, it was on target. It was a really good kick. It just it just wasn’t long enough. Um, but that’s at the, you know, that’s at the officials discretion if they decide if they could get it in or not. So, I we’re not counting on it. When we practice it, we practice it with a quarterback ball all the time because we’re never expecting a K ball. If they bring in the Kball, that takes time. It just takes time. If they feel like they have enough time to do it, they will. If not, what we’ve been told, if not, if not, then be prepared to kick a normal football, a quarterback ball. Demarco’s obviously been in the league a long time, and I’m sure he probably wasn’t thrilled the penalty there. What was the point of emphasis just because that did wipe off such a good punt? Yeah, it was it’s it’s really an unfortunate situation um for for our football team there. That’s a really important uh situation that we were in and a punt that um can start, you know, a defensive drive start at the one yard line which probably can result on us getting the ball back in midfield much like uh the Raiders one, you know. And um unfortunately on that one uh he was illegal there and and we can’t have it. I mean it’s he’s like you said he played a lot of football. Um we always stretch attention to detail um the importance of it but that one’s just you know it’s in your crawl and it hurts and uh nobody’s more disappointed um than than DeMarco about it. Um, but we, you know, we can’t we can’t have it. And I think if, you know, we line up 100 more times, he’ll learn from it. Uh, he’ll be better going forward. Um, but it’s just unfortunate we had to learn a tough lesson there. Um, and we could have really helped our football team there. So, it’s just it it it’s is painful. Richard, there were three penalties total on special teams. What did you see on the two kickoff return ones with Blackwell and Noah? Yeah. I what I saw um on those in particular is when I look you you can look at the tape. You can go watch the tape. Okay. What I saw when I watch the tape, I I feel very confident in the way that we’re coaching it and I feel uh pretty confident that we’ll coach it the way we’re coaching it going forward. Okay. So, that’s that’s how I feel about that. You know, what have been your impressions of Charlie Jones? Um, I like Charlie Jones. Obviously, he played u with Tori at Iowa before he transferred. Um, or but I think he’s a really I think he’s a really good football player. Um, he’s one of one of the only players um that we’ve played uh recently. I mean, we’ve played some, but he’s one of the ones that has a punt return touchdown and a kickoff return touchdown. That’s hard to do, you know, in this league, and he hadn’t been in the league that long. Uh, but I see a a a player with really good vision. Uh, does a really nice job catching the football. Uh, no wasted steps. Uh, very aggressive uh, returner. Um, be a good challenge for us to go up against these guys. I think they’re really well coached and uh, they do a nice job. What’s it about the execution 49 return? Yeah, I thought that was a huge play for us in a football game, Kevin. I mean, we really wanted uh to get Duivere in the end zone in Baltimore. That was one of our goals. Um, as a team, obviously, it’s a it’s a huge goal um for the kickoff return team. So, I think that they uh I think they they they fought for Duivere as best they could. What stood out was guys in in in good position um with good hat placement, good hand placement, um finishing through the whistle. Um and we just like to see more of that, you know, and I thought Duivere made an excellent cut. Um he sold it. He set it up nicely. Um, and to get the ball, you know, in their territory, um, to the 47 yard line, I believe it was, and to Balt Baltimore’s territory, um, was a huge play for that unit, and hopefully we’ll see more of those going forward. How have you personally adjusted to the increase in returns? Get I mean, there just almost everyone’s getting returned at this point. Yeah. How has that affected like your day-to-day preparation? Are you spending more time in practice out on returns just because of the way that’s changing right now across the league? Yeah, I think I think you have to, you know, because in the past it it hadn’t been a football play and uh any team that don’t understand it is a football play now. Um or even going forward. Um if they didn’t understand it back then, they they should understand it now. Uh kickoffs in the game is here to stay. You better have guys on your team that can cover kicks and you better have guys that can return kicks and you better have guys that can block. uh for you because this is what we anticipated um at the owner’s meetings when we went through it. We knew it was going to go through the roof um up to 80 something%. Um so, you know, it’s going to be around that number when it used to not be that at all. So, uh it’s no longer you can you can have a model of kicking a ball out of the back of the end zone if you want, but the data doesn’t say to kick it there. Analytics tell you to keep it in play. Um, so you’re gonna have to It’s a football play and you’re gonna have to you have to spend time on it. Thank you. All right. Thank you.
