1 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:07,520 Speaker 1: Good. You get the ball tonight. Yeah, get some little warmth, 2 00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:11,880 Speaker 1: get some good working on those guys. They're a good 3 00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:14,560 Speaker 1: football team. It's a tough game every time we play them. 4 00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:17,720 Speaker 1: Well coached, very sound, So I gotta have our best 5 00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:20,800 Speaker 1: game yet on Saturday. Feel like the world when we 6 00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:24,280 Speaker 1: woke up each other still sleep and you woke came 7 00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:25,919 Speaker 1: in here and you saw the board that you've grown 8 00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:29,160 Speaker 1: in the bubble. Hey, I do do whatever coach he says, 9 00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:31,880 Speaker 1: du whatever he says, we're in the bubble. We're in 10 00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:34,920 Speaker 1: the bubble. And he said, whatever it is. We're still 11 00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:37,240 Speaker 1: preparing for those guys, Like I said, they're they don't 12 00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:39,400 Speaker 1: come out ready to play. Um, everybody is a lot 13 00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:41,760 Speaker 1: on the line, So I gotta have our best effort. 14 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:45,760 Speaker 1: You feel like because of because of me against the 15 00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,720 Speaker 1: Chiefs that the whole season is kind of over the sun, 16 00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:52,199 Speaker 1: because you guys are that one must swim board. I 17 00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:54,240 Speaker 1: mean for us, we still haven't played our best football yet, 18 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:56,480 Speaker 1: so that's where we're trying to go out there and do. UM. 19 00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:59,840 Speaker 1: Like two games left and first two division opponents, and 20 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,279 Speaker 1: they're both going to be tough games. So for us, 21 00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:05,160 Speaker 1: you want to go out there execute offensively, defensively, special 22 00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:07,520 Speaker 1: teams and you know, just kind of keep that steam 23 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:11,960 Speaker 1: rolls talking about the magnitude of this game and a 24 00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 1: division sentence meaning that since you've been here, you guys 25 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:18,240 Speaker 1: usually don't have a division fall that's competing right with 26 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,080 Speaker 1: you at the end of the year. So I would 27 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:21,680 Speaker 1: argue this is one of the biggest division games in 28 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:23,600 Speaker 1: a long time. Yeah, I mean it's great for us. 29 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,760 Speaker 1: I think it'll be a great challenge everybody to pick 30 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:29,800 Speaker 1: that intensity up that much more and pay that much 31 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,160 Speaker 1: more attention to detail. And I think it's what we 32 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:34,319 Speaker 1: need at this point. I said, still trying to play 33 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,840 Speaker 1: our best football have a great opponent right here, and 34 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 1: like I said, they're to come in flying around, confident, 35 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:41,240 Speaker 1: and I said, we had to go out there and 36 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 1: do the same because they're gonna try and throw the 37 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,160 Speaker 1: first punch and got to be able to set the 38 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 1: punch and go out there and throw ours. What's the 39 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,240 Speaker 1: mindsetead in this game, which is pretty much about to 40 00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 1: a T shirt game for the Acs. For us, I said, 41 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 1: We're trying to play our best football game yet execute 42 00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 1: protect the football. They have a good defense for us 43 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 1: to be a great challenge for us offensively, we didn't 44 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:03,560 Speaker 1: do our best the first time we played them earlier 45 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 1: in the season, so watched that film, made the corrections 46 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:07,920 Speaker 1: from it, and I mean, they've been getting better and 47 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:11,639 Speaker 1: better as a defense. So you gotta be able to run, throw, block, 48 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,240 Speaker 1: do everything physically and in order to you know, win 49 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 1: versus those guys. Jee jeez. Did you see things in 50 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 1: the second half of the Cincinnati game that you guys 51 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 1: can build on offensively? Definitely. I think everybody came out 52 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:29,120 Speaker 1: with a better sense of urgency, more attention to detail, 53 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:33,520 Speaker 1: more physicality, more like Patriot football than everybody just wanted 54 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:35,120 Speaker 1: to go out there and have a better second half. 55 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 1: And I think the backs ran hard, think alignment, blocked hard, 56 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 1: tight ends, receivers, They made plays down the field as well, 57 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 1: So I mean they can be kind of gotten a 58 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 1: rhythm in that second half. Jeans, as a leader captain, 59 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 1: I'm curious, how have you seen the players just sort 60 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:55,919 Speaker 1: of responding to this ongoing NFL thing for us, just 61 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,680 Speaker 1: kind of ignoring the noise, can't control anything that happens 62 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 1: outside the building. For us, sent on the Buffalo Bills 63 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,239 Speaker 1: and trying to prepare it and try to get a 64 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,079 Speaker 1: win versus those guys on Saturday. Like I said, they're 65 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 1: studying up on us. We have to study end up 66 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 1: on them. It's a big game for both teams, so 67 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 1: you gotta be ready to go. James fair to say 68 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,080 Speaker 1: anyway that you have an eye on the playoffs, just 69 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 1: meaning you know, in terms of all these at stake, 70 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:19,679 Speaker 1: securing the first round by and making sure that you 71 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 1: finish strong. I mean, not necessarily our eyes on the 72 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:25,800 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. Like I said, those guys are going to 73 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 1: come in here with a lot of confidence, and said 74 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 1: they've been winning a lot of big football games, a 75 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 1: lot of tough football games, which good football teams. Winning 76 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh the other day and got to win versus 77 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 1: those guys. Not easy to win over there. So our 78 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,839 Speaker 1: focus is completely on them. And I said, they're gonna 79 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 1: be ready for us, and we better be ready for 80 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 1: them on Saturday. It's gonna be too good for years 81 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 1: an offense that would lose office. Yeah. I mean, they 82 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 1: don't give up big plays, and I mean they capitalize 83 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 1: on your mistakes, so being important for us to protect 84 00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,040 Speaker 1: the football. You know, take what they give us and 85 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 1: we get our opportunities to make plays down the field. 86 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 1: Got to capitalize on those two so be a great challenge. 87 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 1: Thin protecting the football be a huge thing for us. 88 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 1: Made it a point to save their defense playing even 89 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 1: better now than whenever you saw them get nine points 90 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 1: in that game. Where have you maybe see some of 91 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 1: their biggest changes in how they're selling right now? I 92 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:22,359 Speaker 1: mean for them, I mean ever since probably Sean McDermott 93 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 1: got there, their defense has been really good and they 94 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 1: continue to get better. A lot of continuity in their defense, 95 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,719 Speaker 1: and those guys they work very well together. The skys 96 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,920 Speaker 1: and coverages, the skys and blitzes, all different things of 97 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 1: that nature. So I mean, they're not gonna blitz you 98 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 1: a ton, but when they do, it's it's pretty effective. 99 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,719 Speaker 1: They try and confuse you. So I mean, whatever they've 100 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 1: been doing, it's been working for him. And like I said, 101 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 1: it'd be a great challenge for us. Play a game 102 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 1: on a Saturday and you're talking to us something Tuesday, 103 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 1: because it sort of seemed like something's not right here, 104 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,040 Speaker 1: not necessarily you mean, kind of even pay attention to 105 00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 1: what day it is, really just coming here and you're working, honestly, 106 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,719 Speaker 1: And I said, whatever day of the games on Monday, Thursday, Saturday, 107 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 1: Sunday and it doesn't really matter. Thank you appre said 108 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:12,160 Speaker 1: mister way a man Christmas
