00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,120
Speaker 1: This pregame interview is powered by Reliant. Drew Doherty here

2
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:06,320
Speaker 1: with quarterback Davis Mills. Davis, good to talk with you.

3
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:08,440
Speaker 1: You had a little bit of time off, you played

4
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:10,920
Speaker 1: a half in relief, You started a game with three

5
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:12,959
Speaker 1: halves worth of experience as a starter. How much more

6
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 1: confidence do you have going into this game against Buffalo?

7
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 1: I mean, I've always tried to pride myself and being

8
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:20,240
Speaker 1: a confident person, So I mean, I don't know if

9
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 1: there's any more going into this upcoming game. I think

10
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:26,479
Speaker 1: just the extra practice reps that I'll be able to

11
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 1: get this week will allow me to go in just

12
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 1: with a really good feel of what we're what we're

13
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:32,840
Speaker 1: playing on running this week, and how we're gonna attack

14
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:35,960
Speaker 1: these guys. That confidence has been noticeable throughout your time

15
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:37,879
Speaker 1: in Houston since you got here in May. Has it

16
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:39,159
Speaker 1: always been that way? Where you like that as a

17
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 1: little kid? Did it grow over time? Where do you

18
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 1: get this from? I think so? I think it was

19
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 1: one of those things growing up. I always had the

20
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 1: mindset that, I mean, I was ready to go out

21
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:49,479
Speaker 1: there and play to my best, and growing up it

22
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:51,879
Speaker 1: always worked out really well. So just been a confident

23
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 1: person ready to take on whatever was next. And you know,

24
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 1: David Culley earlier in the week and throughout the week

25
00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 1: has said there's gonna be more on Davis Mills, just

26
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 1: simply because of time, simply because of experience. How much

27
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: do you embrace that? I mean, I'm excited for it.

28
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 1: I don't know if we are really closed off from

29
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,560
Speaker 1: last week, but I mean, whatever they're comfortable throwing at me,

30
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 1: I'm ready for it. Yeah. Tell me about this front

31
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 1: seven of Buffalos. How impressive is it? From what I've

32
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 1: seen on film so far? They're pretty good, a lot

33
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 1: of speed that a lot of their guys have been

34
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:20,759
Speaker 1: in their system for a long time, so their experience,

35
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:24,040
Speaker 1: with all their calls and adjustments, they disguised what they're

36
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 1: going to do pretty well. So we got to get

37
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 1: a good feel for that and be able to anticipate

38
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: how we're going to beat them. Yeah. And then at

39
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 1: the back end, they've got a guy in true Davious White,

40
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:34,319
Speaker 1: who's an All Pro and he's surrounded by some really

41
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 1: athletic players are in that secondary. What do you make

42
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:38,839
Speaker 1: of that? The group there at the back end really

43
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: talented dudes. I think we have some talented guys as well,

44
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,320
Speaker 1: that we're gonna be able to spread the ball around then,

45
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 1: I mean, get them on the edge and force the

46
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 1: defense to make place. One of the unique environments in

47
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 1: the NFL is in Buffalo. I know you like playing

48
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 1: from the home crowd here at Energy Stadium, but you're

49
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 1: also somebody that sort of embraces that rode Us against

50
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: the world mentality type of thought, aren't you. I am.

51
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 1: I'm excited to go up and see another stadium. Still

52
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 1: still pretty new to this. Just really gone up there

53
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 1: and take an end. Whatever the fans throw at us,

54
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 1: whatever the stadium throws at us, I'm excited for it.

55
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:11,079
Speaker 1: All right, we got to see how your powering game day?

56
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 1: So do you have any game day superstitions? I do not. Nothing. Unfortunately,

57
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 1: that's probably a good thing, right, I guess is there

58
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 1: any particular song or set of songs that you kind

59
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 1: of listen to on game day to get ready? Really

60
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 1: not since college. We'd play some stuff in high school.

61
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 1: I mean, I can't really think of it, but I

62
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 1: know we had a set playlist in high school that

63
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,799
Speaker 1: we listened to just in the locker room, but nothing

64
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: in particular since then. Yeah, as a quarterback. You kind

65
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 1: of got to stay cool, calm and collected. You can't

66
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: get too amped up with the fun music, all right.

67
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 1: Last thing, it's a noon game, So what are you

68
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 1: eating beforehand? So a lot of guys do the pregame

69
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 1: meal because it stays the same. We'll have breakfast offered,

70
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 1: and then they'll have like the spaghetti and pasta's offered.

71
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: But I'll usually just stick to whatever the time of

72
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: the day is before the game when I have to eat.

73
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 1: So whatever's for breakfast, probably some sort of scrambled eggs

74
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 1: or omelet. Some sausages are baking. You just roll with it,

75
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 1: don't you do. I like it? All right, Well let's

76
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: roll to a victory. Davis Mills, We appreciate the time,

77
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 1: look forward to talking you again down the road. Best

78
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 1: of luck. Of course, thanks for having me.
