1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,280
Speaker 1: Does this Saturdays can't even have a feel of a

2
00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:05,360
Speaker 1: playoff field to it. I think it should a certain thing.

3
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:07,960
Speaker 1: It should. I think that's how both teams are going

4
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:11,960
Speaker 1: to approach it and ensure the intensity and obviously what's

5
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:15,160
Speaker 1: at stake, you got to treat it as such. Man,

6
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:17,959
Speaker 1: we talked about all the players that deserve it, and

7
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:19,800
Speaker 1: I know if you were picking the team, I'm guessing

8
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:22,800
Speaker 1: that I'll be wearing red, weight and blue uniforms. Absolutely

9
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 1: specific to Tom, Like, I'm curious to your thoughts about

10
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,479
Speaker 1: the quarterback you know in the Pro Bowl where he

11
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 1: didn't get picked. It just sort of where you would

12
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,280
Speaker 1: would you put him on there? And like what do

13
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:38,240
Speaker 1: you think he's best football players ever? Blay, I think

14
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:40,839
Speaker 1: that's all you needed it all that's football players that

15
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 1: a play. If you had this great honor, another great honor,

16
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 1: you're where do you put that at this point in

17
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,840
Speaker 1: the season. So the stakes coming up from this game

18
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 1: in the game, where do you you have this great honor?

19
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 1: But where do you put that right now? To take

20
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 1: a launch of coach Belichank, you put it in the

21
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 1: drawer and you focus on what's going on as a

22
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 1: team here. Um, you know, and I've always had the

23
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 1: mindset that what's happening amongst the team and in this

24
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:12,759
Speaker 1: locker room and our team goals is always gonna trump

25
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 1: what you do as an individual. So certainly something that

26
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: I don't think before. As I said earlier the war,

27
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 1: all the credit is to the Lord and what he's

28
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,760
Speaker 1: done in my life. But as for now, we're focused

29
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 1: on what we're doing as a team and playing the

30
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills after year Special Teams here and has four

31
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 1: fla punts this season and one of them once against

32
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. And Corey Bjork as I know, he

33
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 1: has the history hearing list with you guys last training camp. Um,

34
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 1: what does that familiarity special teams when when you kind

35
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: of know the guy, Well, I think certainly it helps

36
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 1: a little bit. But you know, Corey has grown the

37
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 1: tim he's really become a good professional and in his

38
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 1: games evolved and what they do is different than what

39
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 1: we do here. So we're gonna have to play the game.

40
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 1: Is it as it declares itself? We can only guess. Really,

41
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 1: you know, we just have to play the situation today

42
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: present themselves. Certainly, pun protection is going to be a

43
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,239
Speaker 1: point of emphasis for them after you know what happened

44
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 1: during the last outing, So I'm sure it'll be a

45
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:16,920
Speaker 1: very different volume. This is your that's one more now

46
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 1: than your father. Is that kind of amaz you? Uh?

47
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: It really does. I mean, you know, I have ever

48
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 1: thought about making a Pro Bowl while I came in

49
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 1: this league. I'm just trying to make the team. And again,

50
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: as I said, when when you have a vocation for

51
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:36,639
Speaker 1: me as a Christian, you know you're never going to

52
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:38,959
Speaker 1: it to make your own name great. You're just going

53
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,639
Speaker 1: to it trying to honor God with the talents that

54
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 1: you have and and work as harder as you can,

55
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,799
Speaker 1: and hopefully, you know, work at it as it as

56
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,239
Speaker 1: unto him. And you know, I've been fortunate to be

57
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,959
Speaker 1: blessed with some some pretty cool things. But you know,

58
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 1: ultimately it's not about me, and my dad would tell

59
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:58,639
Speaker 1: you the same thing. It's not about him. Out it

60
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 1: we feel like good and to the most the bus

61
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 1: men alive and with things be for the game of

62
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 1: football and all of his fun to a family. Your

63
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 1: team already punched his ticket to the playoffs. But obviously

64
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 1: there's a lot riding on this game. And I know

65
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: your team is always looking for more. With holiday season

66
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: in mind, what would be the best Christmas gift for

67
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:20,080
Speaker 1: this team? Win on Saturday? I made great Christmas gift,

68
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:22,959
Speaker 1: Matthew About that season last year, you guys made some

69
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 1: acquisitions staff, special team to Albert among them. A couple

70
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: of others joined this team last year, Justin among them.

71
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 1: How does it come together the way this team has

72
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 1: been able to gel in that particular phase in what

73
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 1: Bill has been able to do, do the coach has

74
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: been able to do over the last few years. Well,

75
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 1: you know, certainly, I think the guys that we've picked up,

76
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 1: you know, mid season over the last couple of years

77
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 1: have been very unique, special players. I think they've had

78
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 1: great us just understanding for the game football, and they

79
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 1: had unique skill sets. Obviously Albert last year, but Justin,

80
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 1: I think what he's been on the compass in this

81
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: league is when well documented. So we've been fortunate to

82
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 1: have type of the players come in late. Their buy

83
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: in has been phenomenal, Their humility, their work I think

84
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 1: has been phenomenal. Can't saying I'm good things about Justin,

85
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: especially this year, the way he's handled everything so h

86
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: and then obviously when you have a head coach who

87
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: understands how important that is and understands that that's going

88
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 1: to help his team win football games, and coaches that

89
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 1: are willing to put players in positions and make plays

90
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: that it certainly helps us out. And Nate's had to

91
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,600
Speaker 1: deal with some physical things the course of the year,

92
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 1: but got to a punk two weeks ago. Almost got

93
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 1: to wonder last week, how much does he mean he's

94
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,679
Speaker 1: been playing at a high level force this year. Shoot,

95
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 1: He's been playing at high level forces his entire career.

96
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 1: And we're very fortunate to have a player like that,

97
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,679
Speaker 1: a cerebral guy who's really another coach on the field.

98
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 1: I mean, you hear that throwing around a ton, but

99
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,159
Speaker 1: he really is like a coach on the field force

100
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 1: m He gets us in and out of so many things.

101
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 1: You know, a lot of our stuff runs through him.

102
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 1: So having him out there gives us all out of

103
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 1: confidence and what we're doing, and obviously his play on

104
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 1: the field elevates our unit. So it's really fortunately having

105
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 1: funny look for me, when you get recognized the way

106
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 1: you have been again and as a pro bowler, do

107
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 1: you feel like it's a recognition for those people too

108
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,279
Speaker 1: that you're kind of carrying the matter with that distinction

109
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,480
Speaker 1: for all the guys I would like to think so. Um.

110
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,160
Speaker 1: You know, I've been fortunate enough to play alongside some

111
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,600
Speaker 1: great players over the years. I've spent a lot of

112
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 1: time with forty three and thirty eight and you know

113
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 1: a lot of other guys in the slot ground. But

114
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,840
Speaker 1: I really think it's a team accomplishment. You know, I

115
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:36,040
Speaker 1: can't do my job unless everyone else besides me is

116
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,720
Speaker 1: doing their job. And you know, I've been the beneficiary

117
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 1: of some you know, some of those individual honors, but

118
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 1: I really can't you know, you can't say enough good

119
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 1: things about who we are as a group, the type

120
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,280
Speaker 1: of men that we have, and it's it's just a

121
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:50,720
Speaker 1: lot of fun to come to work every day
