 All right, everybody, D-Led, you want to start us off? Yeah, coach, how do you all attack the number one ranked defense? Yeah, that's a good question. First and foremost, you know, gone against the scheme before, have nothing but respect for what Coach McDermott, Coach Frazier, do. It'll be a challenge. They're playing well. They had guys in the system for a while. And they know exactly how everything's supposed to work. Well put together, well coached. So yeah, our work's cut out for us for sure. And what makes them number one in past defense? They don't even have Tredavius over there. Yeah, I mean, it's a credit to just the entire, all the personnel and what they do schematically. They do a good job of limiting your chances for big place. They keep the ball in front. They're great tacklers. They can get after the quarterback. So they limit the opportunities in that way. Overall, though, you see a defense that just plays fast. They know exactly what they're doing. There's no hesitation. They're good with other adjustments. So again, like I said, it's a great challenge for us to go there, to play against a defense that is playing as well as they are. And lastly, how do y'all get the run game going? A lot of guys have been talking about the run game. You got to run the ball up there. It's going to be cold. It's going to be snowy, maybe. D-Led, it's like when we grew up in. That weather's easy. Yeah, I know. We grew up there. Look, like I've said before, when we've run the ball, sustained runs through the course of the year and in times where we haven't had the ability to do that is it goes back to the fundamentals of the positions. And it's not just the offense or the line, not just the running backs. Making sure the quarterback's good as in the right check. Making sure the receivers are on the same page and who they're blocking. Making sure coaches from a design standpoint, we have answers for them. So not only does it take all 11 there, but also obviously the coaches to put everybody in the right position. And again, each game is a new game. Each opponent presents an issue in terms of challenges and how to attack them. And so hopefully we have a chance to go there and be fundamentally sound and see what happens. Thanks coach Dave. Thanks, bud. Michael. Hey Dave, how are you? Hey Michael, how are you doing, buddy? Curious what Jalen Mayfield's growth has been this year. I mean, most of us probably on this call are not offensive line experts or played offensive line. So where is it that maybe the stuff that we don't see that he's grown in? Yeah, I mean, first and foremost, right? He came in as a tackle in college. He played tackle as we drafted him and then we moved him to guard. You see the comfort level each week in terms of working with Jake next to him, passing off different things and coming off the ball with good pad level. At the end of the day, there's no replacement for reps, which equals experience. So every time he goes out there, he's been challenged against really good defensive fronts that he's had to face. And so what we asked, just not just from him, but really from everybody is to be open-minded in terms of growth and be consistent in terms of what we ask you to do and how you answer it. The reality is, just like players and coaches, we're all striving each day to get better. And I think as long as you're open to that prospect of getting better each day, you've got a chance. And Jalen definitely is. Was he doing that from day one or did that take time because of all of the kind of movement that he had in training camp? Yeah, I mean, you look at it and you got a situation where, again, it goes back to the comfort level. Going in there, playing guard, working the combinations. Your stance is different than it is a tackle. So all those things play into it. And each game, you see different things of growth. You see at times there's things to work on. And each week he's taken that challenge. And as the seasons continue to go on, there's been improvement in different things we've asked him to do. There's always things to work on, just like everybody else. And again, this game presents another challenge for him in terms of who he's going against. Do you see his long-term future where he is now, sorry, where he is now at left guard? Is this a thing where he could end up bouncing back out to tackle at some point? Yeah, that's a good question. I'm not to give you a cop-out answer, I'm just focused on it right now. So this week, right, he's our left guard. And that's where we've obviously coached him up and see where it goes from here. Appreciate it, thanks. Josh? Hey, Dave. Hey, Josh. You mentioned with D-Led that at every level you do have some experience with cold weather football. Is there really any difference or do we make too much of a deal out of that aspect of it if it's not a really extreme situation? Yeah, I think it affects obviously certain positions differently. You can ask, you get a handful of quarterbacks in a room and some guys don't mind throwing a wet ball or playing in certain conditions. Other guys prefer not to play in those conditions. And again, it's about a mindset. It also, once the ball snapped, the last thing that even comes across your mind from any position is the elements. It's a job at hand and obviously trying to be successful. So there is a build up to it. The fact that we're where we are geographically and we're going up to play a game, we'll see where the weather is. It seems like it's changing daily, but the mindset's been great. The reality is wherever we play, we play. And I think guys have accepted that. You will find people that will argue that dome quarterbacks have a tough time when it gets late in the year in adverse conditions. How do you feel like Matt does in those conditions? I know your first-hand experience is limited. Yeah, sure. I mean, again, I go back to the fact that 14 years, different levels of success in terms of his career, it's the last thing I'm thinking about is how he's going to be in those conditions. He's a Northeast kid, grew up there. So I'm sure he's quite a few turkey bowls slash winter pick up football and in some bad conditions. Thanks, Dave. Thank you. Scott? Hey, Dave, how do you think that Pitz has handled this entire season just from all the expectations that have been thrust upon him from the outside and him having to master so many different spots on the offense? How do you think that he's processed everything that's gone on in his first campaign? Yeah, I think what he's done is, speaking like I did with Jaylin, he's had an open mind in terms of the growth. He's accepted the things that we've asked him to do. He's tried to do it to the best of his ability. Like I've said before about Kyle, he's very intelligent. He's come in and all he's done is what we've asked him to do. He's worked hard. He's continued to get better in certain things, even though those things might not show up on the stat sheet. He's been consistent in terms of the person he's been. And again, that's all we asked for. And he's done a good job of that. You've obviously seen a lot of special talents. But there have been plays over the course of this season. Do you even kind of go, wow, I can't believe that he made that play just with his kind of physical ability? Yeah, I mean, no going to be wrong. I think every NFL game, regardless of who's out there, there's usually a play here or there, regardless if it's your team or the other team that obviously is pretty special. Or you said to yourself, there's no chance you could do that, which at now my age, there's no chance I can do anything. But reality is you kind of come to expect certain things from certain guys. And again, you see it during practice, not just him but other players. And again, being the curator of the games is awesome. But the reality is we probably have a decent feel of what we think guys can and can't do as we go through the season. Thank you. D-Led, do you have anything to follow up? I'm good. Thanks, Matt. Thanks, D-Led. 929, I see you got your hand up. Yep, it's Taneetra. Hi, Coach Dave. How are you? Hello, how are you? I am good. Thanks. Just kind of a bigger picture question because I know everyone's dealing with this, right? So taking away injuries that you can kind of manage through or even weather elements like Josh was talking about earlier. But this whole COVID thing, just players, it's like moving parts. And so you look at Hayden and Taje being on that list. And how do you manage through that just every day kind of almost looking over your shoulders, like who's actually going to be there and available for me come game day? Yeah, that's a great question. I think just the ability to stay flexible. Don't be rigid. You don't know, obviously, no different than in a game situation, if you lose a player, you'd like to have contingency backup plans. And those instances where that does occur. And then during the week, obviously, the last two years, probably unlike, obviously, unlike anything that's you've gone through, even in society, let alone sports, and just learn to be adaptable. So the end of the day, whatever is thrown our way, we just have to find solutions. And that's what our players are thinking of us as coaches. And so we're just trying to do the best job of doing that. Chris Brown. Thanks, coach. Thank you. Hey, dude, yesterday Lee was talking about him and Kyle's relationship and how sometimes Kyle calls him things that, well, Kyle was closer to his age than his age and how Kyle calls him things that he doesn't even understand what they mean and the slang and stuff like that. Have you seen their relationship and their back and forth at all? Yeah, I mean, obviously, bits and pieces, what they do and lock around and stuff like that, obviously, no. But Lee's been around. Lee's been around all different types of players. Lee's got a certain way about him that players gravitate towards. He's got a reputation of that. In different places I've been, you heard of how Lee is with his teammates. No surprise that he's developed a relationship with Kyle. But yeah, whatever is nothing surprising me with Lee, probably that way. Where does he rank on the most fun people that you've coached or been around? Yeah, that's a good question. I don't know if I can give you a ranking, but he brings good energy. That is the one thing that I think as he's gone through his career, you can see and understand how he's affected locker rooms, brought guys together, regardless of background. And I think there's a reason why he's been playing as long as he have, not just the physical ability. He's got the ability to off the field that you look for in a teammate and you look to bring to your team. All right, that's all we've got time for. Guys, we'll have Coach Pease here in just a second.
