 Yeah, Duran, what are some of the issues y'all faced with the Panther offense? They got a new quarterback down, and OGs, they did run it a lot last time against the game. Yeah, like you said, the last time we played, I think they had 40 runs for 47, 200 some yards. Yeah, so obviously we know stopping the runs is going to be big. We got one on first and second down because when we just look at the game last time, they was getting five, six, seven on first down, then put them in second and three or four, and then they're in like 31 and 32, and even at certain instances, they was in second and one and second and two, and it put you in a tough spot as a defense, trying to defend two yards. So we just know we've got to be better on first and second down, defending the run, and give ourselves the chance to go out there and play good football. We're in the key down. Yeah, well, I mean, we haven't got the red area yet, but obviously we all know Cam has been a productive player in the red area just because his legs, and he's big and he's strong, so we know one of the easiest ways for them to score in the red area is just to give Cam the ball and just let them plow forward and try to run through arm tackles. But like you said, that's going to be a challenge for us, and we'll get there and start worrying about that on Friday. Oh, it doesn't feel good, I'll tell you that. Just because we pride ourselves on stopping the running. We've been pretty good against the run all year, but like I said, when you think about it, you put in perspective, you know, you go 47, 47 rushes for 200 in some yards, you know, they end up averaging, I think it's like three points something. So I mean, you're like, yeah, it's under four, but like I said, when they're getting five and six on, you know, on first down and second down, like just it puts you in a tough spot and you can feel it. You can feel it as a defense when an offense rushes for 200 yards and it usually doesn't correlate to winning. Is there a point you got in the short show, like what do you do? Like, does that happen when a team is so committed to that, whether it's not like it's you all, or you're the one in the women's team? Yeah, for sure. I think what the thing is, you know, you don't ever want to look around and be like, man, what the hell is going on? But you want to try to, all right, say, all right, what can we do to stop? And that's when you go to the sideline and you try to look to to make adjustments. And I think toward the end of the game, when we played the Panthers, kind of got out of too high and went to some one high looks and it gave us more success at the end of the game. Yep. Does it have a big game, a week or do you have to prevent that from happening? How do you evaluate the higher stakes? I mean, like you said, it is a big week. And anybody who knows football knows the position that we're in and the position that the Panthers are in know the the amount of influence this game has on both teams. It's December. We all play to try to get the opportunity, you know, to go to the playoffs and get rewarded and playing into January. And, you know, this this game is going to have big implications on that. So we know that our focus, our intention has to dial up a notch just because just the position that we're in and we understand that. We know that, but our play has to replicate that as well. I think so, I mean, because it's just it should raise your level of intensity and focus to just know that, you know, there's a lot riding on this game. It's no time for, you know, all my bads or my thoughts. Let's get the job done at all costs. And we know that that message is being preached and and it's our job as players to go out there and make sure we play that way. Make sure you keep the office behind the table. Oh, very important, because what type of defense it's hard to call the defense that a stop, you know, a second and one a second and two or a third and two. Like it's just it's too much, you know, they only have to go two yards. It can run like, you know, a check down is the first down when you talk about, you know, 31 and 32. So it's always imperative. And we talk about it each week, just standing by the sticks, you know, don't let them get in second and managerial, you know, try to win first down. Like it's very important this week, winning first down. Don't let them get the second and three and second and four. Make them get the second at nine, second and ten so that, you know, we put them in a bond to buy. All right, well, what are you going to do now? Are you going to pass the ball or are you going to run the ball? But either way, our dean will be in a position where he can feel comfortable to call something that put us in a position to win second down. In game standpoint, I know a lot of times, you know, when you see a lot of teams where don't break with a lot of underneath stuff, check down and everything like what has been your experience as being as far as when you make that adjustment, say, basically going from playing zone to making it on demand, like before you get the answer. Yeah, yeah, yeah. How what is it your experience being with that? Just how like how soon a coach may make that make that particular I think it just kind of depends on like like how the game is going. You know, sometimes it's not bad, you know, when you're you're forcing a quarterback to make a check down after check down. You know, sometimes that's good, you know, because you don't want to give up the big play. And sometimes, you know, they drive it, check down, check down. But then, you know, you get in the red area and it's like, all right, well, can you check down now? Because everybody's closer to the line of scrimmage. So now you have to, you know, make those throws. And sometimes quarterbacks are just not patient enough to go check down to check down to check down. You know, they get they get nosy. They're like, nah, I need to find a big play. And then they're sitting there. They're patting the ball holding that, you know, a force or air of throw. So I think it just kind of depends on the situation. There's times where, you know, we want to go too high, you know, and like I said, it's good for us. But then there's times where we want to go single high, where we might need to stack that box, get them runs going and then try to force them to throw everything outside. Well, I think the main thing is we got to get them in positions to be able to rush to, you know, to create those opportunities for our D line to rush and create those habits. Like I said, winning on first down, you know, making sure that, you know, when a quarterback's in 30 down, it's not 33 or 34. You know, it's 38 where the D line can really pin their ears back, you know, and go, you know. So I think it all boils down to just playing a little bit better team defense, winning first and second down, and then give us opportunity to rush to quarterback when we got the chance. Well, I think the offense is just a little different just based off the quarterback. Now, I mean, also based off, you know, McCaffrey, obviously, we did play McCaffrey the first time, but the offense is just it's different when he's out there and when he's not out there. And it's different when, you know, Sam, Donald and McCaffrey are out there. So I just think the thing that they really want to do. And, you know, the coaches talked about it, rules talked about it for the last couple of weeks is they want to run the ball, you know, they want to run the ball 30 to 33 times a game. So I'm going to put a big boy pass on, get ready for the run. No, no, no, yeah, no, but like he's a running back coach. He wants to run the ball, but it's that simple. It's come from, you know, it's from top bottom, you know, the coach rules said it over and over and over again. They want to run a football. They want to control the clock. They want to win, you know, running the ball and playing good defense. So you might not have no, you know, experience as an NFL play caller, but I mean, the message is clear. We know what they want to do. They know what they want to do. It's just going to be, you know, who's going to stop the other person. Like what's that? I mean, you live last year a little. Yeah, for sure. Yeah. Well, I think they think, well, it's it's different. It just kind of depends on where you're playing, you know, because even though he's a, you know, first time coordinator, they're not going to switch their their offense in the middle, you know, of the season. So he might have a little wrinkle here and there, or it might be, you know, he might have different tendencies about how many times he wants to run the ball, but the offense is going to be the same. It's just going to be maybe a difference of how he calls the plays. Yeah. You know, every time on the fly. Yeah, for sure. Like you said, I mean, it might help if you have a couple of weeks. But I mean, at the end of the day, we don't have a couple of weeks. We got the opportunity right now. And like I said, we're going to bank our head on knowing that they want to run the ball and we're going to have to force them to do something else. All right, guys, have a good one.
