 Our D-Led. Our D-Led. That's right. Yeah, Coach, just trying to prep for this game, we know that they ran it a lot last time. Is that kind of where you all start with breaking down the pen? Well, I'm sure they'll have a plan that they believe in regardless of whose calling it for them. Like I said, I think Matt Rohl even said the other day. Mid-season, it's not like, all of a sudden, you're going to come up with some magical new offense. They're a physical team. They ran the ball efficiently last time. Gotten a lot of, you know, they won first, second down. Got themselves a lot of second and shorts and third and shorts. Well, they've won the exact same place. You know, I doubt it. But they'll have probably a similar philosophy that wouldn't surprise me. In that group, Chava and Amir, didn't anybody got a new quarterback in the mix? How does that group stack up? Well, they added a, well, I mean, you could argue subjectively that nobody's been more effective running the football over a long period of time, which is rare in this league than Cam Newton. So if they get the lead on you, it could be a problem. Because he's a big physical player, got a big arm. Obviously, he's won the MVP in this league, correct? So he's had success. And if they get a lead on you, they can really grind it out, and they can make it a problem. Yeah, our first, what he's accomplished this season without as good as maybe you could have imagined or hoped for when you started working with him? You know, I think the thing about CP is really about it, you know, every one of our players. Can we get, can they help us win? And can they improve, you know, obviously, individually as well as we're trying to build this thing, as we're trying to grow week over week? So obviously, CP has had a huge impact this year. Certainly, when you signed somebody for agency, you hoped to get a decent amount of production, and he's exceeded that. But again, we got five more games to go. We're right in this thing, regardless of how it's felt at certain times. I mean, here we are in December, it's a big game for both teams. And so whatever we got to do, you know, we got to improve as a team and take another step for this game on Sunday. So, and CP will be a part of that. Well, I guess just what I was getting at was, like you said, when you signed him, you had a plan. And you talked about that multiple times. This has gone, basically, with him, specifically, as according to your plan, or maybe even more than what you were going to do. Well, I don't, you know, don't have, like, a stat sheet says, if we know we need three rushing touchdowns, we need five receiving touchdowns. It's not, it's the impact until you get to work with a player and how they fit. You know, it's going to change year to year, and certainly week to week, depending on who's healthy, who's up, who's down, and where they go with that role. And certainly, CP has taken off and run with it in multiple ways for us. So, as long as we can keep evolving, you know, we got to continue to get better. As I said, there's five games left, and there's none more important game than the one this week. You said, you've talked about that a couple times now, you know, this game being more, is that just kind of, I hate saying coach speak, but you know, every game being a plan, or is there more recognition of what this game could mean for the players? It's just the circumstances. It's not coach speak. Because, you know, I hope you guys don't think I come up here and speak in cliches. I try to answer everything you ask me, so I'm certainly not sitting there like, I've got a handbook of coaching cliches. So, basically it's the situation that's in front of us. Reality is in front of us, every game's important. You know that. I mean, you're in a 17 game season, the National Football League, obviously every game's important. That's kind of a no-brainer. But the circumstances, if you want enough, like I said, it doesn't, it's not like five and seven, you're sitting there beating your chest, be like, oh, look at us, we're five and seven. But the situation we've fought, and it hasn't, you know, you had your ups and downs as you go through a season, is that you're in games that matter this time of year. However you want to slice it. And this is a game that matters. Not that any game wouldn't matter, but if you're sitting there with only two wins, you pretty much know you're not going to the playoffs. So that's really the point there. How many times have you watched that Monday night game? 49 runs and three passes? Well, you know, that was the circumstances for them. They, where the win was, I mean, we're certainly, who knows what kind of weather we'll get when we have to make our trip up to Buffalo. And that's what good football teams do. Been a part of games like that. Certainly, we played Denver in 2016. We ran the ball over 40-something times because we knew it was going to be ugly. They were coming off that Super Bowl win, and where their pass rush was, we felt when we won the game, it was very similar to that in Nashville in 2016 against Denver. We went up there, ironically, in New England in 2019, and damn near did the same thing. We threw it more than three times though, but that's what smart good football teams do. They know they have a plan, they execute it, and that's what I saw. From a play college perspective, is that enjoyable when you... Yeah, I may be a, you know, like I said, I'm not that old, but maybe I'm a dinosaur at heart. That's what I said. I think anytime you can execute a plan, whatever your plan is, and it works, and your players, they play a certain way and they understand the plan, and there's an element to a team, and you got selfless guys, that's beautiful to me. Whether that's throwing the ball 50 times or that's running it 50 times, that's what we try to do over a week. We don't have a set number. I think the guys that worry about the stats are copycat just to play it safe, whatever. That's not what we're trying to do. We're trying to build something here that can sustain and breakthrough and evolve. And anytime you certainly see a team that can play as a team and they execute a plan, that's certainly something that you aspire to be yourself. So no different than us this Sunday. We have a plan, we implemented the first part of it this morning, now it's not to execute, but I don't get caught up in the stats. I think they naturally take care of themselves. If you're looking at the right process or you're making progress, as you build things, I think that naturally, that's been my experience is taking care of yourself. Can you improve week over week? Are you better at the end of the year? Are you better in year two? Are you better in year three? I think that all plays a part of it. As a play caller, do you generally know at kickoff, I feel like I'm gonna run the ball 60% of the time today versus 40% or vice versa, or does that develop play by play as you see what happens? You've got a plan in place. And then obviously, you're an injury away from having to adapt. That needs to be thought out, especially at a key spot. If you're gonna change personnel as much as we do, I mean, you're gonna have to have, like I said, an injury here, you're gonna be taking out something. So you have to have a backup plan or a plan after that. So, yeah, you have a pretty good idea. And they have a say too. So they can come out and they can play a completely different front scheme, something you say, hey, it's an unscouted look and that's our jobs as professionals in between series to adapt and talk that through. So that's the fun part of coaching. Within the third down analysis, how do you feel like you guys have done it in those third and long, third and seven plus types of situations? It seems like in the last couple of weeks that you guys have converted more in those. You know, that's, and obviously you play over 17 the whole season. Usually your numbers aren't gonna be very high when you're in third and seven plus. We just look at it as an opportunity. We got the ball in our hands. Again, goes back to the situation that you're currently in, can you be in the present there? Obviously you'd like to be in better than third and 12, but you have an opportunity. And there's certain parts of the game you may have to play situational football, backed up depending on how you're protecting. You may be a little more risk adverse. But when you're in that situation, you've got a quarterback that can extend plays which Matt does in his own way. You got guys that know how to get open and keep the play alive, certainly gives you a chance. So that's, there's a combination of things or something you may have seen. You try to scheme up, make sure you're sound. But that's a credit to our players and their mindset. Yeah, pretty. When you look at the day, DJ Moore, one of the receivers that can do some things. What have you seen from him when you look at him? Good player. And offensively, well, offensively, you guys were able to get the running game going and I think you rushed over a hundred strong yards or whatnot. What did you like from your offensive line that you want to take the building moment to this day? Well, I think you can look at it. Again, we need to find you. We'll get, turn the fine into the PFWA. Um, but uh, no, Anthony, you want to see, you know, week over week, and can we, you know, do we thought we took a step in Jacksonville? Obviously more importantly, that resulted in a win for us as a team. Can we do it against, against a pretty good rush front? We did. There's always two ways to look at. Yes, you like, you're pleased with the progress there. You're not pleased with the fact that you didn't win the game. So, you know, you can see both sides of it. And the key is continuing. As we get down in here, you get late in the year, are we better? You know, you can argue, make a good suspect argument. We have gotten better the last two weeks, but we're one on one of those two games and can we do it, you know, for a third of a week in a row and ultimately help us win? Chris, what were the advantages and disadvantages of seeing a team twice in a season? Well, you know, with the divisional opponents, you're gonna, obviously the more you play them and the staffs and schemes kind of stay in place, you get pretty familiar with them year over year. And certainly as you see them a second time around. So I think that's the fun part about it. You are familiar with their personnel. So, and schematically, you've got a pretty good idea how they attack you. They're gonna make their changes, maybe tweaks here or there, but it's familiarity there. So when you're, it's not an uncommon opponent, when you're going outside of your division or your conference, you kind of have to learn, hey, make sure your players know who these guys are, schematically what they're trying to do. So there is an advantage there because you do have familiarity. And then you could say the flip side is, you got to make sure that you're trying to stay ahead and evolve so you're not becoming too obvious because they obviously have that same familiarity back. So that's kind of how I look at it. So with that, do you have a process of, you know, not overthinking your game plan, baby, trying to change things? I'm not gonna get into our thoughts on our game plans. It's a good question, but I'm not gonna talk about schemes or, you know, anything. And that's just, this is my personal philosophy. Just like I, again, I don't think I work for the NSA, but I'm not gonna sit here and pontificate and give the opponent something to, because they'll have guys that watch. I appreciate the question though. Do you enjoy the chess match? I do. I do, that's what makes the NFL fun. Because every week, like I said, in professional football, there's good players and new coaches across from me, regardless of what the record where you're at. There's a really good, smart players and coaches in this league. Have you ever gotten anything from watching another fast press conference? I have, yeah. Do you feel like you're not something? Sure, absolutely. Do you want to elaborate? No, no, no, I don't. Do you still do it as a regular practice? I've got people to look at. I mean, I think that's pretty common around the league. And they know what maybe to bring to your attention they might say, they know what to listen for. Sure. Sure, absolutely. Because I just want to check on Marvin Hall and if you all are, I know he's a speed guy and so far seen him here and around the league. See, where's he at with you all? Like a lot of our guys in our program, you know, he's got a chance every week. If we feel like he can help us win, if he has a good week of preparation and we feel like he fits the game plan and he's improved and comfortable putting him out there, which we have been once. But like a lot of guys, you know, they're in our program and everybody's got a chance to play on Sunday. That's on our roster. It'll be day to day. So probably take most of the guys one more day to rest. I don't see any of those being long term. We'll just have to take it day by day. Payton, what do you want to see from him as he makes his track back when we're coming back? You know, he didn't miss that much time. But again, it's just when you have a practice in a couple of weeks and I know Hayden's a professional, so he'll be in shape. He just kind of had to see what he looks like when he's out there today at practice. We're going to car together, we're going to go again. It just depends. I mean, you depend on how the injuries have affected him, what he looks like, see how he responds, you know, really certainly tomorrow and the rest of the week. No line questions. Come on. I deal with you. I deal with you. I'm sure everybody won't start some hell continuity year to year. Do you think it's more important in a situation where you go from first to second year coach or even specifically in the way you want to run offense? Well, I mean, certain spots, sure. But you want to constantly be looking to improve your roster. You want to constantly be looking to improve as a coach. I don't think Terry and I look at this thing like say, hey, look, just because we, you know, draft this guy that, you know, they're on scholarship now. I think you're constantly looking to get better. And familiarity certainly helps. I think you'll see that. And, you know, where we're at with our cap situation and, you know, the way our roster is currently constructed, there's going to be change. It's inevitable. I think the way the league set up and, you know, everybody jobs a little bit different, but certainly with our cap situation, it doesn't matter. Even if you wanted to bring everybody back, that's not reality. So at certain spots, I think the staff familiarity helps too. Yes, yes, and yes, in certain spots, but otherwise you're dealing with the realities, we're going to have a lot of new faces next spring and next fall. When you're looking at the practice squad this time of year, how much of maybe the future process of not knowing you're down so many new faces goes into maybe X number of those spots versus guys who might not know? Yeah, again, that's not, anybody we bring in here, we think you can help us, whether it's in the short term or long term, we wouldn't bring them in here. So, you know, you're allowed to with the current rules, you got 16 players. You can see a lot of teams, you need those, especially with everything that's going on right now and being able to activate guys, standard elevation, COVID elevation, the IR rules, it all helps. I think it's really good for the game, but certainly if you have guys that you can develop, that's a win, right? If you sign a guy, he's on your Pratt squad, you develop them, that's a pretty good use of your roster, but we're looking the same thing, but everybody that's out there at practice, they got a chance to be up on Sunday. How do you manage and what do you say to your defense come off the game where they were able to fix it so that you can create more havoc and win in the tournament? You try every week to do that. So, there's no magical words, it's a matter of executing, understanding the game plan, understanding what you're gonna face, understanding the call, you know, that's a big part of it. Certainly you'd like to, you'd love to get those turnovers if there is some kind of momentum, sure, but again, when, you know, Marlon, he happened to sniff out the screen, made a hell of a catch and made a big play for us. No different than AJ going up in Thursday night game and making a play on the ball. I mean, to me, that's improvement week-to-week, you knock a lot of those down and you got up and got them. I mean, that's just part of the improvement process. To concern you? I mean, that's such to me that the language of like, there's always things you need to work on. Concern. We got to play better and score more points and win games. Like, that's part of the process but to take one narrative, okay, so if you play that narrative game, again, there's always things objectively improve on. So two weeks ago, we didn't do a good job and third one, right? Last week, we were better there but now you had some things against a really good front and you don't want to see the quarterback get hit. They did, they got them. A lot of them were right after the ball was thrown. Certainly they had a couple sacks. But you're looking, there's always something you got to improve week over week. You look at the whole picture, you can argue that we've been decent in pass protection. There's been certain games and match-ups and we've gotten down or it gets too one-sided. That makes it a challenge but I don't know if concern is the right word. It's kind of a, I don't know, it's just kind of a defeated kind of language. It's more about, hey, objectively, what do we need to work on? What do we need to improve? Because there's always something every week. Obviously, you just started, you're like in the lead now you start a quarterback. Probably be a better question for Cam. Just, he's a great player, been a good player in the sleeve for a long time. Got a lot of respect for him. But in terms of his journey, it's probably a better question for Cam. Thank you. Thank you.
