1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,760
Speaker 1: Play a little bit. Yeah, caught up on some sleep

2
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:09,320
Speaker 1: as a body field. I feel good right now. Nothing's

3
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:15,200
Speaker 1: really deemed up or anything. I'm ready to go. What

4
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 1: do you remember about playing the Bills last year? You know,

5
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:20,960
Speaker 1: your last two meetings specifically because I was the first.

6
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 1: One was in a windstorm. Yeah, it was definitely a

7
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:30,320
Speaker 1: physical game. They played very physical. Their front is very active.

8
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:32,520
Speaker 1: They run to the ball. Everyone runs to the ball.

9
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 1: And I just remember as not doing our job as

10
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 1: well as we were supposed to, and I feel like

11
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 1: we need to change that. This Thursday, this afternoon, Bill

12
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 1: said that you've been making some James White level plays

13
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 1: and past protection. What does it mean to hear that

14
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 1: cam from him? It means a lot, just from where

15
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 1: I started from last year, just remembering how little I

16
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 1: knew and how you know, how productive I really was

17
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 1: in the past pro game. So just just making those

18
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 1: steps and just you know, learning and just seeing it

19
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 1: translate to the field. It feels good. Is it kind

20
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: of crazy to look back, even like the season opener

21
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 1: last year, and like realize how far you've come with that? Yeah,

22
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 1: I mean it's not really that crazy. I put in

23
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 1: I put in a lot of work like then, just

24
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 1: like the people around me, they stay on me constantly,

25
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 1: So it's not really that crazy. It's just I would say,

26
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: I'm very I'm very grateful the way it is turning out,

27
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: and just my hard work and everyone around here just

28
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: being on me and just that showing on the fields. Great.

29
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:38,319
Speaker 1: How much did coach Fiers have to do the back

30
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 1: a lot? A lot? He he broke everything down to

31
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 1: the to the to the science almost just everyone knows

32
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 1: exactly what to do while we're doing it and just

33
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: know the reason behind everything we're doing. So he was

34
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 1: very instrumental and everything. To go back to the playoff

35
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: game one more time, did you think much about it

36
00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 1: and the off season kind of uses motivation or just

37
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: trying to word and completely move on. I'll say a

38
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 1: little bit of both, Like I'm not gonna, you know,

39
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 1: just dwell on something that that's in the past. But

40
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 1: it was definitely in my mind how we ended the

41
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:11,799
Speaker 1: season off last year, and I thought we'd get a

42
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 1: chance to, you know, go out there and put a different,

43
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: different game on the On the film, Andrew, how do

44
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 1: you remember the way that Bill's covered you know there

45
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 1: you were James also playing at that point. But on

46
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 1: third down its passing down to Seaton. They played a

47
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: lot of man safety's linebackers. Milamma who was in there. Yeah,

48
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: actually it's a lot of linebackers Milano and antremond ed

49
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: Edwins He's they both cover very well. They try to

50
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: catch you at the line. They don't let you get

51
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 1: going as much. They try to get you like literally

52
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 1: at the line of scavage, put hands on you. Say,

53
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: they can't get out into your route. So it's gonna

54
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 1: be a challenge. No one's ever really played us like that.

55
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: They played us more like five yards depth and let

56
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 1: us run our route. But they're not gonna let us

57
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 1: do that. So what has to cheat? You give away

58
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 1: any started game playing points. But to combat that, you

59
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 1: know they're doing something different. You can't just be just mean,

60
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 1: be more disciplined on my routes. Just route detail and

61
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 1: just just run the route, get to the depth and

62
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 1: try to break it off. Bill said this morning that

63
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: you guys need to play your best game in order

64
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:23,119
Speaker 1: to win Thursday. Seems to the indicate that's as big

65
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 1: of a game as you guys have had yet this year.

66
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 1: I mean, do you feel that far around the building

67
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 1: that this is. Oh yeah, I would agree with that statement.

68
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 1: We need our best game, you though, end of November.

69
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 1: Uh so you know it's getting it's getting about that time.

70
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: So yeah, we got to play our best ball from

71
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 1: here on out. The fact that it's a division rival,

72
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 1: ranking division champs, that add a little bit more the

73
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 1: game for you guys, I would say so yeah, I

74
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 1: would say so yeah. I remember we hear a lot

75
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: about how you know, this time of year starts getting cold.

76
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 1: Power running game takes on more importance for you, a

77
00:03:58,000 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: guy who runs pretty physically. You look at the four

78
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 1: or gass you know, a little forty on Thursdays that

79
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: you know, SA give you something, clicker, what do you get?

80
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: What do you feel when you see that? Yeah? Just

81
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 1: cold games like this? Uh, I know, I said didn't

82
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: here a couple of weeks ago. I hate the cold,

83
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 1: but a piece of me loves it too, just because

84
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 1: you know, a lot a lot of defensive players don't

85
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:18,479
Speaker 1: want to tackle on the code and things like that.

86
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,160
Speaker 1: So so I mean, I guess, yeah, it gets a

87
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 1: little bit more, you know, crunch time around this time

88
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 1: of year, especially running the ball. Take a final question.

89
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,599
Speaker 1: You know you said your body feels right, but you

90
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:33,600
Speaker 1: know with three games coming up and hover many days

91
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 1: it's been and you know Damian being banged up, is

92
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 1: it's it tough to kind of know you have to

93
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 1: carry the loader. Do you look forward and something like that. No,

94
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 1: it's not tough at all. You know, it's football. Things

95
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: like this happened, you know, all the time. So it's

96
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 1: just just staying ready for that moment. Just stay prepared.

97
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 1: And you know you always prepared for like things like

98
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:55,720
Speaker 1: this to happen, So it's just you. You just gotta

99
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 1: stay prepared. Actually, as far as three games in twelve

100
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 1: games days goes Le's got first for you? Is there

101
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 1: anything comfortable in your life where you playing this much

102
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 1: or had this much action and carries it to a shortspan? No,

103
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: not even close. Uh, not even close. But I love

104
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,359
Speaker 1: I love playing the game. So it just excites me.

105
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 1: Just got to get in that training room or just
