Listen, this is a good 30 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:57,560 Speaker 1: football team, regardless of regardless of travel. You know, I'll 31 00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 1: just say that it's been a it's been a great week, uh, 32 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 1: you know for us here. You know, the folks here 33 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 1: at Hanbury Manor have been outstanding for us and and uh, 34 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,799 Speaker 1: I can't say enough good things about our stay here 35 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 1: and and all that. And obviously you know historically spending 36 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 1: two weeks, you know, two games over here in in 37 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:19,359 Speaker 1: in London, and you know, our preparation has been good 38 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 1: this week. But you know, this is a good football 39 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 1: team and we got to go. Gotta go play particulars. Yeah, 40 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, probably no different if you're playing 41 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 1: you know Kansas City Mahomes those teams, good teams like that, 42 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 1: you know, teams that you know have explosive offenses, even 43 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 1: you know, looking down the line in San Francisco teams 44 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 1: like that that that that score points. And you just 45 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,639 Speaker 1: gotta you got to be efficient in the passing game, 46 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:57,800 Speaker 1: and you gotta you gotta play ball control, you know, 47 00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 1: efficient in the run game. And you know, I think 48 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 1: the number one thing too is you can't can't turn 49 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,639 Speaker 1: the ball over. You can't give this offense, uh any 50 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,239 Speaker 1: more opportunities than than what's given to them in a 51 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 1: normal game. So you know, those are all the things 52 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:13,800 Speaker 1: that that we stress and and and trying to make 53 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 1: sure that we stay on the field. You know, third 54 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 1: down has been an issue for us. We've got to 55 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,800 Speaker 1: make sure we you know, this team has more Buffalo 56 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:25,800 Speaker 1: has more third and eleven pluses on defense than they 57 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:29,239 Speaker 1: do any other third down yardage, So uh, they're getting 58 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,079 Speaker 1: teams in third and longs and and uh, we've got 59 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 1: to do our best to stay out of that. 60 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, because days. 61 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, this team is, this team is leading. 62 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 1: You know, they're they're number one and a lot of 63 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 1: categories on defense, and it's a good defense. It starts 64 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 1: with that front and and they they they roll eight 65 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 1: to nine guys you know through there and and they 66 00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 1: can all get off the football and you know, if 67 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 1: if Vaughn plays, there's another there's another weapon form you know, 68 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 1: on the edge. So you know, it's a really good group. 69 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 1: It's solid. They've they've been in this scheme now for 70 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 1: you know, seven years, and and they know exactly wherever 71 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 1: as we say, where all the bones are buried, you know, 72 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 1: and and and they know it all. So solid, solid 73 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,039 Speaker 1: group on defense that that you know, maybe not many 74 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 1: people are talking about, but but we certainly are aware 75 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:26,840 Speaker 1: risky or how. 76 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,919 Speaker 2: Much from a close state board get us settled. 77 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 3: When it comes to potentially Can and Walker and has 78 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 3: played in a long time, hasn't played, Walker hasn't had 79 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:42,040 Speaker 3: a lot of games. 80 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that's a that's a real concern, right, 81 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 1: but but it just going through the week of preparation, 82 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:53,279 Speaker 1: those two guys working together, and you know it, it 83 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 1: gives you a little more comfort knowing kind of what 84 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,119 Speaker 1: we've seen as a staff. You know, obviously you guys 85 00:04:58,320 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 1: don't get a chance to watch that part of it, 86 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:04,160 Speaker 1: but you know, we do feel comfortable with where Cam is, 87 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 1: you know, and and maybe not so much Cam, but 88 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:11,360 Speaker 1: it's Walker, right, Walker kicking down a whole new kind 89 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,360 Speaker 1: of a position for him at this point. You know, 90 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 1: he's been he's been our kind of our swing tackle 91 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:18,800 Speaker 1: a year ago. He's our starting left tackle first four 92 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:22,279 Speaker 1: games and you know, we'll see, we'll see after tomorrow, 93 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:24,280 Speaker 1: you know where he is there. 94 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,599 Speaker 2: The last couple of days. 95 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, Smoots looked really well. You know, we opened his window, 96 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 1: you know, this week. I mean, he's he's looked, he's 97 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:40,600 Speaker 1: looked really good. Probably don't anticipate him playing in this game, 98 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 1: but uh, he's really close, you know, so we're optimistic 99 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,719 Speaker 1: that maybe in the next week that he'll be ready 100 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 1: to go. But yeah, I had a really good we 101 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:53,039 Speaker 1: gave Shoot, I mean, he gave Anton a great look 102 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:56,159 Speaker 1: this week on the on the look team, and you 103 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,280 Speaker 1: know that's what we needed out of out of Smoot 104 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 1: And and he did a great job in the. 105 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 3: Categories at the time. 106 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 1: Well the quarterback isn't doing this was. 107 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,520 Speaker 2: How despite some of. 108 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,480 Speaker 1: You know, I think Trevor's Trevor's playing playing good. He's 109 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,600 Speaker 1: improving every week. You know, there's probably a few throws 110 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,359 Speaker 1: in the Houston game obviously the Chiefs game, you know 111 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 1: that that you know, we learned from still young, right, 112 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,160 Speaker 1: I mean second year in our system and and third 113 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:30,640 Speaker 1: year overall. But he's a great leader. He's throwing the ball, uh, 114 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 1: you know, extremely accurate right now and seeing the field 115 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 1: really well. And you know there's some things too that 116 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 1: affect that, you know, whether protection breakdowns or maybe a 117 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 1: miss timing on a route combination or things that sometimes 118 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:48,600 Speaker 1: are out of his control. But I think you think overall, 119 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:52,839 Speaker 1: Trevor's been playing really good and improving each week. 120 00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 3: Just a big picture that have three years his third 121 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,800 Speaker 3: year at that age, with a long career potentially. 122 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's it's exciting for us for the 123 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 1: organization that uh, you know, Trevor is young, and and 124 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 1: and he is improving and and you know, and and 125 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 1: can stay in the same system, you know, much like 126 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 1: with Buffalo. With these you see what happens when when 127 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 1: teams and players stay in the same same system for 128 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 1: for years, you develop chemistry and rapport and great communication 129 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 1: and all those things. 130 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:36,520 Speaker 3: Offense, an Anglo Cham could. 131 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 2: How does that be seen playing agents well to the 132 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 2: to the offense, how does that be to. 133 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 3: Getting involved? 134 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, No, it's it's really been it's really been good. 135 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:54,840 Speaker 1: I mean it's it's it's it's hard from a game 136 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 1: plan standpoint to try to get everybody the football. But 137 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 1: we do know that, you know, the the top guys 138 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,559 Speaker 1: as you mentioned, you know, Christian and and and Evan 139 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,040 Speaker 1: has been been with us now the longest obviously, and 140 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,680 Speaker 1: they coming back in there, and and Calvin is it 141 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 1: has been really good. He's been a bright spot. He's 142 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 1: he's uh, he sees the field really well, and he's 143 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,400 Speaker 1: him and Trevor continue to work and and and be 144 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 1: on the same page. And but you know, again it 145 00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 1: goes back to just having that familiarity with guys and 146 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 1: and you know, understanding where they're going to be as 147 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 1: a quarterback, knowing where they're going to be in any 148 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:32,760 Speaker 1: particular route combination, and you know, it's uh, it is. 149 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,680 Speaker 1: It is fun when it's clickings. It looks good obviously, 150 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 1: but uh, you know, we've still got to make some 151 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:41,800 Speaker 1: some adjustments and and make some areas of improvement in 152 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:43,840 Speaker 1: order for us to you know, be the offense that 153 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 1: we want to be. Yeah, I mean you never know, right, 154 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 1: I mean, you never know un til you get out there. 155 00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,280 Speaker 1: But but Travis is a is a is a really 156 00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:00,560 Speaker 1: good running back and and we trust what he does. 157 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,599 Speaker 1: And and you know, against a team like this, you 158 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,240 Speaker 1: got to try at least to run the football a 159 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 1: little bit. And and you know, you just can't drop 160 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 1: back and throw it every down or they're gonna get you. 161 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 1: You know, they're they're too good over there. Uh and 162 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 1: they create sacks and and you know that's that's what 163 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:17,959 Speaker 1: they're good at, rushing the passers. So we got to 164 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:21,199 Speaker 1: be able to run the ball effectively and efficiently and 165 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 1: stay on the field, stay out of third and mongs,
