1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,720
Speaker 1: Hey, Tom, Hey Greg Ay doing good morning? How are you?

2
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:08,039
Speaker 1: I'm doing all right? Just go home pretty late. But

3
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:13,720
Speaker 1: it's kind of getting the day gone well. Um obviously, um,

4
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:16,720
Speaker 1: you're not happy when when there's not a w and

5
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 1: and a little bit of a frustrating night last night. Um.

6
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:23,759
Speaker 1: Have you had a chance to kind of go back

7
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 1: in your head over what happened last night? And and

8
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 1: uh do you look at kind of that first quarter

9
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 1: and the kind of the slow start is being tough

10
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 1: to make up for? Or how are you feeling this morning? Yeah?

11
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 1: I think you know, any time you go on the

12
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 1: road and you you know, get behind early, it's uh,

13
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 1: you know, makes it pretty tough to overcome. And we

14
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:50,519
Speaker 1: got behind in Baltimore and you know, couldn't fight our

15
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 1: way out of it. We got by in Philly and

16
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 1: and did and then you know, came down to Houston

17
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 1: and uh, you know obviously couldn't. So it's just you

18
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 1: always want to play from the head and we've done

19
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:08,959
Speaker 1: a good job of at certain points in the year,

20
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 1: and yesterday we didn't. But you know, probably the way

21
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,400
Speaker 1: the guys fought and we hung me in there, we

22
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:18,119
Speaker 1: got a shot at the end on the on side

23
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:23,680
Speaker 1: kick to to get one last chance. Um, and uh,

24
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 1: you know, we just came up a little bit short.

25
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 1: How much of a factor was the was the flu

26
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: comes to this team? I don't think it was a

27
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 1: it was a factor at all. I mean I think,

28
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:36,959
Speaker 1: you know, different teams are dealing with different things, and

29
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,040
Speaker 1: everyone has adversity over the course of the year, and

30
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 1: you know, it's a long year. You don't have you

31
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: just don't wait till everyone's you know, feeling great to

32
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 1: play a game, the games are scheduled, and then your

33
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 1: life happens. So it's basically from September through December and

34
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: then whatever happens. And you know, we've dealt with a

35
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 1: lot of different things, whether it's injuries or personal family

36
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: situation or in this case, you know, just you know,

37
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: flu bug or something like that. But um, you know,

38
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 1: you kind of deal with it the best you can

39
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 1: and then you you know, go out there and play

40
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:13,359
Speaker 1: and hopefully, uh, you know, hopefully you can get the

41
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 1: job done. Tom on the off chance that you do

42
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 1: get sick. Are you a giant man baby when you do? Uh?

43
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 1: I try not to be. I try not to be

44
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 1: a it's I try to just go with the flow,

45
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 1: so not much I can do. But yeah, I mean

46
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,399
Speaker 1: I feel but a lot of guys that is pretty tough, tough,

47
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 1: flu bug. A lot of guys are pretty wiped out.

48
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 1: But you know, everyone played hard yesterday and again just

49
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 1: wasn't our best performance. And we're gonna have to, you know,

50
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 1: try to try to figure out how to be a

51
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,359
Speaker 1: little more consistent as we move forward, and we got

52
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 1: to know, equally important game this week coming up. You

53
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:03,359
Speaker 1: do you sound a little congested this morning? A little, Yeah,

54
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 1: it's it's it's uh, we had a long flight and

55
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,640
Speaker 1: we got into the game, ended the pretty late, so

56
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:16,639
Speaker 1: it's nothing, nothing about congestion. His voice doesn't sound pepper

57
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: or anything. Today. What if, um, Tom, what what if

58
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 1: any positives can you take away from last night? Well,

59
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: it's I don't think that. It's you know, every game

60
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:35,119
Speaker 1: is its own. Um, it's really its own thing. It's

61
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 1: you know, and there's not much you can carry over

62
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 1: for one game to the next of them learning from

63
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 1: one game for the next. I mean, there's not. This

64
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 1: week is an entirely new process and practice and game

65
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 1: plan and getting report and everything. So um, you know,

66
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: it's it's we've just got to figure out how to

67
00:03:55,920 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 1: be more consistent and uh, you know, just figure out

68
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: how to stay on track and and uh, you know,

69
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 1: get the ball in in the red area and you know,

70
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: just do a little bit better job and I'll put

71
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: us in a better position to win. There's been I mean,

72
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:18,280
Speaker 1: there's been some lip reading that's gone on this morning. There's, Um,

73
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,040
Speaker 1: it was clear to us watching that there were times

74
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 1: that you were frustrated last night. And I just want

75
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:28,720
Speaker 1: to ask, with regard to these receivers, is it, you know,

76
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: is it in your mind that they should be farther

77
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:36,280
Speaker 1: along than where they are right now? Or is it

78
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 1: that you guys are not communicating the way that you

79
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 1: want to be communicating And kind of where are you

80
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:46,839
Speaker 1: at on that this morning? I think everyone's working hard,

81
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: We're trying to do the right thing, and um, you know,

82
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 1: it's there's some good effort out there, and there's you

83
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 1: know guys are guys are doing the best you know

84
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 1: they can do. In my belief, we're just we're working

85
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 1: hard and trying to do the right thing, and and

86
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: you know sometimes it's it's been good and other times,

87
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 1: you know, we obviously have work. We still got to do.

88
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: So that's just part of playing football. It's you know,

89
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:19,159
Speaker 1: sometimes people have it figured out early and some people,

90
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 1: you know, we're trying to figure out as we go,

91
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 1: and that's just part of it. It's just that's just

92
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 1: part of what we're dealing with. So just gonna keep

93
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 1: trying to go out there and you know, it's put

94
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,599
Speaker 1: our best out there and hopefully it's good enough. Tom

95
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 1: you said just a minute ago that you guys need

96
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,359
Speaker 1: to find a way to be more consistent, find a

97
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: way to play better, and find a way to do

98
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 1: things that you haven't been able to do, like score

99
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: in the red area, which was something that reared its

100
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: ugly head again last night. You guys had first and

101
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 1: goal in the sixth early on in the game. I'm

102
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 1: just wondering it does that it's not code, but does

103
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,040
Speaker 1: that mean really rely on the veterans more or just

104
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 1: kind of go back to basics. Because of the four

105
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 1: hundred and forty something yards you guys had last night,

106
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 1: two thirds of them went to two players Edelman and

107
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 1: James White. Uh yep. So So what's the question, Well,

108
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: the question, my question is the question is is it no?

109
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 1: My question is is it gonna are we gonna get

110
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 1: to a point where you can't really rely on the

111
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:25,840
Speaker 1: young guys getting involved that much more, and you're just

112
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 1: gonna have to rely on the veterans to try to

113
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 1: the old, tried and true horses to get you where

114
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 1: you need to go. Um. I think the realities, you've

115
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 1: got to rely on everybody, and everyone who's in there

116
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 1: has to. Um. You know, the coach always says, just

117
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 1: do your job, and I think we just all have

118
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: to do a better job doing our job. So you know,

119
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,480
Speaker 1: offense doesn't go through one player, and the offense doesn't

120
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 1: go through two players. Um, you know, offense, a coordinated

121
00:06:56,160 --> 00:07:00,480
Speaker 1: offense needs to go through eleven guys. And the can't

122
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 1: throw passes, and the quarterback camp block, and the receivers

123
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 1: can't run, and you know, the running backs can't you know,

124
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 1: split out, and sometimes they do, but I mean, for

125
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 1: the majority part, we all have our role in offense,

126
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 1: and you know, good offenses, Um, you know, I have

127
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 1: everyone on the same page doing the same They're doing

128
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: the right thing on a consistent basis. And it's not

129
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 1: always going to be perfect. It's not Football is not

130
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 1: a game of perfect. It's just got to be a

131
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 1: game of pretty good and you know, it's just we're

132
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 1: we're learning as we go, and you know, by no

133
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 1: means is you know, we're not two and ten. We're

134
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 1: ten and two. And I know there's very high expectations

135
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 1: as there are for us, and um, you know, I

136
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: think there's just the expectations for our team often are

137
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 1: you know, um, you know, a very very very high level.

138
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 1: And I understand that. At the same time, I think

139
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 1: there's realistic, realistic expectations with our circumstances and incorporating different

140
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 1: elements and players and injuries. And again, we're just trying

141
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: to do the best that we can do. And you know,

142
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 1: we've got our whole season ahead of us, and we've

143
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 1: got to learn from the things you did last night

144
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 1: and try to go out there and you know, get

145
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 1: a really tough win against Casey and see if we

146
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 1: can see if we can get back to winning. And

147
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 1: that's that's what's going to be the most important thing

148
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 1: this week. I know there's no such thing as a

149
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 1: comforting or loss to you that is acceptable, but does

150
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 1: it make it any more frustrating? And you go on

151
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 1: the road and you lose, not just to a team

152
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,079
Speaker 1: that you've had had your way with or had good

153
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 1: luck against. But when there are a lot of familiar

154
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 1: faces on the sideline, you know, you know Bill O'Brien,

155
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:50,560
Speaker 1: obviously you worked with them for you as you know

156
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 1: Romeo Cornell, you won super Bowls with him. Is it

157
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,079
Speaker 1: any more frustrating when you lose to guys that you

158
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 1: used to go to battle with? You know, they earned it,

159
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: So I think you appreciate the level of competition they

160
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 1: give you. And they gave us a great, um, a

161
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 1: great effort, and I thought they played well. And they

162
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 1: have a lot of really good players and they make

163
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:17,199
Speaker 1: it very difficult because, um, you know, they have they

164
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 1: have very you know, they have really good players in

165
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:23,839
Speaker 1: the secondary, they have really good linebackers. Um, they have

166
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 1: good guys up front, and they don't give you anything easy.

167
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 1: And you got to go out and you got to

168
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 1: earn it. And you know, I certainly have a lot

169
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 1: of respect for them. It's a team players and coaching staff,

170
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 1: and I wish we could have done a little bit more.

171
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 1: Speaking of the Chiefs, is Mahomes the best young quarterback

172
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,839
Speaker 1: you've seen coming to the NFL in the last ten years?

173
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 1: It's a ranking question I leave those to next maybe,

174
00:09:52,120 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 1: But now he's pretty he's pretty spectacular. I think very

175
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 1: highly him and his um, his skill set, and he's

176
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 1: a very good player. And they realize they have a

177
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 1: very good team, have a very good offense. They have

178
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 1: very dynamic receivers. UM, you know, one of the best

179
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 1: groups in the league. They got one of the best

180
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 1: tight ends in the league. They have some great running backs, UM,

181
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 1: and Patrick distributes the ball to all of them, and

182
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 1: you know, they just makes it very hard to defend

183
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 1: when you know you have a lot of a lot

184
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 1: of players that you can get the ball too, and

185
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 1: you know, it's a big challenge for our defense and offensively,

186
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to play a great game, and we're

187
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 1: gonna have to you know, take advantage of our score

188
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 1: and opportunities and um, keep from turning the ball over

189
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 1: and see if we can go out there and beat

190
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:50,320
Speaker 1: a very good team at home. UM. Obviously, you guys

191
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 1: want to end up with that with that number one

192
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 1: overall seed. How important do you is that to get that?

193
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 1: That's the furthest thing from my mind is anything like that.

194
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 1: So I don't I don't care about any of those things.

195
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 1: I care about you know, the win, winning a game

196
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 1: that's that's coming up. So um, I remember everyone likes

197
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 1: to say, you know, think about those things this time

198
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:22,439
Speaker 1: of year, and it doesn't matter. I mean we've we've

199
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 1: we've had we've been ten and oh at this point,

200
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 1: we've been five and five at this point, Um, you know,

201
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:35,200
Speaker 1: you deal with those other things. Is the whole that

202
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 1: whole situation would be a consequence of what we do

203
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 1: the next four weeks. So you can't control that on

204
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 1: I mean, you can control us go out there and

205
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:46,840
Speaker 1: trying to win and putting ourselves in a good position.

206
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 1: And uh, you know, you can win one game per week,

207
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 1: and this week can happen to be against the Chiefs

208
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 1: and we're gonna have to play, you know, a great

209
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 1: game in order to beat those guys. Tom I had mentioned, Uh,

210
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 1: you throw too, and getting the veterans involved a bit

211
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 1: more last night and getting the offense going, which leads

212
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,439
Speaker 1: me to our Needham Bank, Needham Bank, can we be

213
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 1: your bank player of the game, which we've determined is

214
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 1: James White, who had one hundred and seventy seven yards

215
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 1: from scrimmage last night and two touchdowns after he hadn't

216
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:16,959
Speaker 1: been such a big part of the offense for the

217
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 1: past couple of weeks. How did you get him going late?

218
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 1: And how important is James White going forward to this offense.

219
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 1: James is a spectacular player and niece, I mean right

220
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 1: telling get him the ball, it's good for offense. He's

221
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:34,959
Speaker 1: you know, he's he's just a great teammate, great you know,

222
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 1: just always doing the right thing, and he can count

223
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 1: on him and he's just a whether it's it's the

224
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:44,560
Speaker 1: time that he got here till now. I think our

225
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 1: whole offense relies on him to make the plays when

226
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,439
Speaker 1: his numbers called, and he's he's just doing a great

227
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:54,559
Speaker 1: job for us. That's a great choice for the player

228
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,319
Speaker 1: of the game. Tom. I think I always like to

229
00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 1: give you. I always like to give you the opportunity

230
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:01,439
Speaker 1: when you're on here to kind of address these things

231
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,559
Speaker 1: that everybody's talking about. And so we talked a little

232
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 1: bit kind of about what what you may have been

233
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,719
Speaker 1: saying or what what what may have been said with

234
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 1: regard to a couple of receivers last night. Do you

235
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:17,439
Speaker 1: end up you know, in the in the in the

236
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 1: heat of the moment because you're passionate and because you

237
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:23,560
Speaker 1: know because you want to win. Do you end up

238
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 1: saying like people look and say, all right, he's he's

239
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,839
Speaker 1: saying I'm done with him with regard to Dorset, or

240
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 1: you know, he's he's upset at Harry. Does that end

241
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 1: up being something that you guys as a unit kind

242
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 1: of understand is going to go on because you're in

243
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:38,560
Speaker 1: the heat of the battle. Yeah, I mean I think

244
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 1: those are those are you know, they would never think

245
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,679
Speaker 1: that way, you know, I'm done with him? Or I

246
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 1: mean that's that's crazy, you know, I think you know,

247
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 1: quarterbacks responsibility is to try to lead and motivate and

248
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 1: you know, while from the voice of you know a

249
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 1: lot of situations because first we're calling the plays in

250
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 1: the huddle and be we have you know, a lot

251
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 1: of information because we spoke with the coaches and the

252
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,320
Speaker 1: coordinators and what we're trying to do. So we're trying

253
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 1: to motivate people and get people to you know, play

254
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 1: their best, and guys are trying. I got no problem

255
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,680
Speaker 1: with you know, I love playing with Philip or said

256
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 1: I love playing with Nikkio nikkiels you know, working his tailoff,

257
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 1: and he hasn't had a lot of opportunity out there

258
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 1: and he's learning as he's going. But um, you know,

259
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 1: to expect someone to go out in their third game

260
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 1: of the year and you know be you know, it'd

261
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 1: be perfect. I think that's unrealistic for anyone. So UM,

262
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 1: I love what nikkil springing. We're gaining confidence every week.

263
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 1: I love what Kobe's doing. We're gaining confidence every week. UM,

264
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 1: gaining confidence with with Mohammad. Um. You know, Julie and

265
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 1: I we played together for a long time, and I

266
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 1: think that shows itself pretty well. I think you see,

267
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 1: you know James and I who we played together a

268
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 1: long time. So um, that's just part of a part

269
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 1: of our sport is you know, dealing with you know,

270
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 1: new situations and trying to deal with them the best

271
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 1: way you can. And this teams faced some some unique

272
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 1: ones to in and of itself, and uh, you know,

273
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 1: just like every team has. We're not any different than

274
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 1: any team. But at the same time, we're we're we're

275
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 1: in a decent position here and now we've got to

276
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 1: go try to try to beat a great football team

277
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 1: at home in Kansas City. Tom. I know, it was

278
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 1: a disappointing loss. It was a long flight home, feeling

279
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 1: a little congested, and you got a lot of work

280
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 1: to do to get ready for a difficult opponent like

281
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 1: the Chiefs at home this coming Sunday at Gillette. But

282
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 1: you know, after a weekend like that, I just can't

283
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 1: help but want to ask. I mean, do you get

284
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 1: a little time to yourself today? And is there anything

285
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 1: you can do to cheer yourself up? Like maybe a

286
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 1: little binge shopping on Cyber Monday Rudolph is If Rudolph

287
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:53,640
Speaker 1: is on tonight on CBS today o'clock, maybe a little

288
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 1: peppermint hot coco with the kids watch Rudolph. Yeah, that's

289
00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 1: you know, getting a holiday spirit a little bit. I

290
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 1: don't I always kind of it's a good time of

291
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 1: a year. I mean football season that the games matter

292
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 1: a lot. And you know, it's not like we haven't

293
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 1: dealt with losses before. We dealt with them last year,

294
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 1: we dealt with the year before that, year before that,

295
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 1: and year before that and year before that. I think

296
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 1: a lot of it's about mental toughness and realizing that

297
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 1: you know, when you don't play well, you don't win,

298
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 1: you're not supposed to win. You're not supposed to to

299
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 1: win when you put less than your best out there,

300
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 1: and sometimes you get away with it, and most of

301
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 1: the time you don't. So I don't think anyone's feeling

302
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 1: sorry for us. We're not feeling sorry for us. We're

303
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 1: gonna broa out there and we're gonna try to have

304
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 1: a great week preparation and see if we can get

305
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 1: back to win, and then we'll let everyone else kind

306
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:42,200
