1 00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:08,080 Speaker 1: I definitely Hi, Mike Uh. A lot of big plays 2 00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:10,040 Speaker 1: from these guys. Bill was mentioning the fact that they 3 00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:12,360 Speaker 1: skip over the red zone a lot. Is this one 4 00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:15,280 Speaker 1: of those games where it's because of how they attack, 5 00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:18,800 Speaker 1: it's gotta get back the GTFB or is there guys 6 00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:21,319 Speaker 1: love that? Well, I'm I'm asking, but I know a 7 00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:24,160 Speaker 1: lot of the stuff comes run after catch, so attack, 8 00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:27,560 Speaker 1: I would say tackling is bigger than even that. Obviously, 9 00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:30,080 Speaker 1: they got a lot of guys I can beat you vertical, 10 00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:33,360 Speaker 1: but you watch them, Um it's you know, a quick 11 00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:37,000 Speaker 1: slim or you know slim posts and A J. Brown 12 00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:39,159 Speaker 1: catches it. Now he breaks a tackle and now you're 13 00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:40,880 Speaker 1: trying to catch a guy that you're not gonna catch. 14 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,239 Speaker 1: Or um, Derek Henry gets into open field, you know, 15 00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:47,279 Speaker 1: or Corey Davis makes a play and um, you know. 16 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:49,920 Speaker 1: But they can still like TARJ Sharp ran the stutter 17 00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:53,120 Speaker 1: and go against Jacksonville and got behind. Um, they still 18 00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:55,880 Speaker 1: have those vertical nine routes. A J. Brown ran one 19 00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:59,000 Speaker 1: against Houston sixty yard or um. But a lot of 20 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,480 Speaker 1: the plays even over verse he had against New Orleans 21 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:04,760 Speaker 1: breaks a tackle. Now he's gone. John H. Smith, the 22 00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,080 Speaker 1: guy that people really don't talk about a lot in 23 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,200 Speaker 1: that offense. I mean he has a toss play for 24 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:12,080 Speaker 1: sixty yards, he has a quick slant for like another 25 00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:15,480 Speaker 1: fifty yards. So a lot of it, you know, is 26 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 1: gonna come down. Obviously, you can't let the ball behind, 27 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:19,840 Speaker 1: you can't let your guys run by you. But we 28 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:21,959 Speaker 1: gotta do a good job when they make catches of 29 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,000 Speaker 1: everyone getting to the ball and tackle him. Because they 30 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:27,559 Speaker 1: got a lot of big, strong, fast guys on that team. 31 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:29,320 Speaker 1: A lot of guys that don't really look like they 32 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:31,840 Speaker 1: fit in a position are in you know, Derek Henry, 33 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,839 Speaker 1: A J. Brown, guys that are huge, you know, playing 34 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:39,280 Speaker 1: different positions and they're really good at it. How much 35 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:42,800 Speaker 1: chance got Ryan Tannehill changed over the last year quarterback. 36 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:47,480 Speaker 1: I'm not a QB guru. He's playing really good football. 37 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 1: He's doing a good job drop back, third down, finding open. 38 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 1: Guy's doing a great job in a play action. And 39 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:56,560 Speaker 1: then I think he does a really good job. He 40 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,080 Speaker 1: never looks like he really wants to run, but to 41 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,880 Speaker 1: do this fast. When he does run, he's able to 42 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 1: make big plays like you've seen on some of those boots. 43 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 1: They run a boot and no one wants to contain it, 44 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 1: so he just he actually is unthrown and it's like 45 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 1: no one in front of him for twenty yards. He 46 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,960 Speaker 1: just runs. But I think he's doing a really good 47 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,240 Speaker 1: job of just running the offense UM, finding these guys 48 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 1: when they're open, doing it. Just a really good job. 49 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:21,799 Speaker 1: I understand. It looks like he knows what defenses are 50 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:23,800 Speaker 1: in UM and he's just getting the ball to the 51 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 1: open guy. And he's always had a very very good 52 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:30,360 Speaker 1: arm throwing the ball down the field, pretty accurate throwing throws, 53 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,920 Speaker 1: deep balls, intermediate routes. So we've seen him for years. 54 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 1: We've seen We've been a part of some of his 55 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 1: best games in Miami, so we know what he's capable of, 56 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 1: and we've watched how he's leading that team. And Devin, 57 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,240 Speaker 1: can you take anything from the joint practices? I mean 58 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 1: they were granted, heated at times. You guys had some 59 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,079 Speaker 1: good battles and babels, intensity and what have you To 60 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,120 Speaker 1: take anything from that, even though it was so long ago. 61 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:55,919 Speaker 1: I think you know some of our personnel, like, we're 62 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:57,839 Speaker 1: not going to be surprised when a J. Brown comes 63 00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 1: out there and he's running or or Cavid Corey Davis 64 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 1: or Raymond when he's out there. We saw him in 65 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,360 Speaker 1: camp how quick and fast it is. So UM. I 66 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 1: think that stuff always helps when you get out there. 67 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 1: Sometimes you watch guys and you know, watch them on 68 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 1: films one thing, but then you see him in person. 69 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 1: We've kind of got that, um when we went against 70 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 1: them in the joint practice and saw some of those 71 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 1: guys running and what they're able to do. UM. So 72 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 1: I think from a personnel standpoint, you still have, UM, 73 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 1: some of those just reps you've taken against them that 74 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 1: you know, UM, you don't really lose that as a defender. 75 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 1: As a player when you go against someone, you remember 76 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 1: those players and what they do well. And then said 77 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 1: yesterday that you guys came in with a good attitude 78 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 1: this week after the Miami loss. Was that an instantaneous thing? 79 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 1: Did happen organically with you guys the leaders on this team, 80 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 1: or how did it go of you guys saying all right, 81 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 1: now we have a game and turning that page and 82 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 1: turning it into a positive. We came to work Monday. 83 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 1: I think we have guys in that locker room who 84 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 1: have never had the experience playing that last game on 85 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 1: Sunday and the seasoned me over and we have guys 86 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 1: who have and you know, I think those guys are 87 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 1: always give great perspective of what it means of playing 88 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 1: the playoffs. You know, of that last game and already 89 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 1: known where you're going on vacation. Like we had guys 90 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,719 Speaker 1: talk about that, and I think the realization was that 91 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,479 Speaker 1: after how bad Sunday was, we came in the next 92 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:21,279 Speaker 1: day and we had to work, and we had stuff 93 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 1: that we wanted to accomplish. We got the opportunity to 94 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 1: do it. So because of how we played in a 95 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 1: regular season, we get a chance to play in the postseason. 96 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 1: It didn't end the way we wanted to, UM, but 97 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,840 Speaker 1: I think it would. It would really be bad to 98 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,679 Speaker 1: let one loss disappoint the whole rest of the season 99 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:40,120 Speaker 1: because we stayed and stuck on that. So, UM, we 100 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 1: got a veteran group, We got guys that understand that, 101 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 1: and we're excited about this opportunity. UM, We're gonna work 102 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 1: our butts off to be able to be prepared and 103 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:51,160 Speaker 1: go out there and play tough game Saturday night. Devin, 104 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 1: you mentioned the Crossers and play action and stuff like 105 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 1: that that they do. How big is it this week 106 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,159 Speaker 1: for your safeties to help the corners with that when 107 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,760 Speaker 1: they have it inside help from you guys, you know, 108 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 1: to cut some of those crossers off. Everything's big when 109 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,799 Speaker 1: you talk about communication, knowing where you know our corners, 110 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 1: knowing where we're at, us being where we're supposed to be, 111 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,719 Speaker 1: and then being order to suppose. I think that's always key. 112 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 1: And Um, this offense does a good job of, you know, 113 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 1: attacking certain areas of the field. UM, And I think 114 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:19,840 Speaker 1: we got to be aware of that. We got to 115 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:23,479 Speaker 1: know whose responsibility that is on um each play, you know, 116 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 1: and our defense we're always calling different things, so it'll 117 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 1: be different guys, But um, it's gonna be key for 118 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 1: us as a secondary. You know, the biggest game of 119 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:32,720 Speaker 1: the year to be on point. You know, we can't 120 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,719 Speaker 1: have any lapses and communication or knowing each other's that. 121 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 1: You know, that's gonna be big for us. Um, We're 122 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 1: going against you know, a very talented group. You know, 123 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 1: every guy on that field and skill positions fast. You know, 124 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 1: they don't really put anybody out there that that's not 125 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 1: you know, fast for the position and able to really 126 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 1: you know, create really big play. So I think that 127 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 1: that puts pressure on us, and you know that's what 128 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 1: you want this time of the year, to go out 129 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 1: there and play your best football. How much does it 130 00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 1: help their play action game that Derrick Henry's the back 131 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 1: in the backfield? I mean, is that something that you 132 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 1: think about when you're out there, that you know that 133 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,600 Speaker 1: they're sawing the run with them having the league's leading rusher, 134 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 1: you know, be their backfield with the Nahum, not for me. 135 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,839 Speaker 1: I mean, it's tough. He gets it. You gotta find 136 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:16,920 Speaker 1: a way to bring him down. But I always say, 137 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:18,840 Speaker 1: you get in trouble when you know you're supposed to 138 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:21,360 Speaker 1: play the middle, middle of the field. Any worried about 139 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 1: tackling Derek Henry for five yards? Like, if that's happening, 140 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 1: you know it's gonna look great on one play everyone's 141 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:28,800 Speaker 1: and get up. You know you made a tackle for 142 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 1: five yards or three yards, But the very next player 143 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 1: is gonna be a play action They're gonna throw the 144 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 1: ball over your head. So um, I think when you 145 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 1: play teams where they have the leading Russia and they 146 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,360 Speaker 1: have a quarterback with the highest passer reading, and they 147 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 1: have a J Brown, Corey Davis Shark, they got a 148 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,280 Speaker 1: lot of guys John Smith making big plays. You gotta 149 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 1: count on each other. We gotta trust each other out 150 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,479 Speaker 1: there on the field. Um. Now, if it's a run play, 151 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:52,800 Speaker 1: the guys up front that are in position to play 152 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:54,600 Speaker 1: the run, they're gonna play it. And then if it's 153 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:56,599 Speaker 1: play action, they gotta trust that the guys in the 154 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:58,680 Speaker 1: back end are gonna be ready to play the pass. 155 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:03,160 Speaker 1: And we gotta do that for sixty minutes. Devin Dante 156 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,719 Speaker 1: high Towers made a couple big plays for you guys 157 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:07,920 Speaker 1: in the playoffs. I'm just wondering, what have you learned 158 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 1: about him over the years that's made him so dangerous 159 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,680 Speaker 1: and dependable in these big games. Um, I think his 160 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,920 Speaker 1: work ethic. You know, he came in here obviously from Alabama, 161 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 1: guy that I was a leader and you know, new 162 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 1: to defense well coming in and he's continuing to do that. 163 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:22,960 Speaker 1: He's been a leader for us. He's been a guy 164 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,840 Speaker 1: that calls the huddle. Uh, he knows where everyone's a line, 165 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 1: and I think he doesn't. You know, he doesn't budge 166 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 1: in these big games. He goes out there and plays 167 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,000 Speaker 1: his best. So, Um, he's a guy. When we haven't 168 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 1: had him, we've missed him a lot, and when we 169 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,320 Speaker 1: do have him, UM, it's a pleasure to have him 170 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:39,560 Speaker 1: out there. We know he's gonna make plays because he 171 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 1: knows where he's a line, he knows everyone else is 172 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:43,480 Speaker 1: supposed to be UM, and we kind of count on that. 173 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 1: They they're one of the highest percentage teams in terms 174 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 1: of twelve personnel. What sort of challenges that for you guys? 175 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 1: Is a defense, especially considering some of the personnel that 176 00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:56,120 Speaker 1: you've mentioned that they have to put out there. I 177 00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 1: think it's it's even what kind of twelve is it? 178 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 1: You know, it's Frisker in there, and now you have 179 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 1: him and John new Smith. Now is it twelve or 180 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:06,480 Speaker 1: is it four wide? You know, both those guys can't 181 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:09,239 Speaker 1: split out now, it's like having four receivers or Prue. 182 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,000 Speaker 1: It's in there, and you know, Prue it can be 183 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 1: in the twelve with two tight ends or he can 184 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 1: start into two tight end look and then motion into 185 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 1: the shift into the backfield. Now he's like a fullback. 186 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 1: So now it's really twenty one. So I think they 187 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 1: understand when they put twelve out there, it's still up 188 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 1: to them of how they want to play it. And 189 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 1: I think you see that more now in the NFL 190 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 1: with so many you know, kind of versatile guys that 191 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,120 Speaker 1: play tight end but you know, kind of like a 192 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 1: receiver or kind of like a tight end and a fullback. 193 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:37,120 Speaker 1: So I think we have to be aware of what 194 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:39,960 Speaker 1: is it like? You know, it's twelve, but is it 195 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 1: playing like two twelve? Is it playing like twenty one 196 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 1: or eleven? And I think then we have to go 197 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,079 Speaker 1: from there and understand how they're gonna want to attack us, 198 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,199 Speaker 1: and then, you know, most importantly, know where we're in 199 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 1: and know what our jobs are. So kind of piggybacking 200 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 1: off of Mike's question, there they play a lot of 201 00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 1: thirteen personnel two or are you about to ask the 202 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,720 Speaker 1: same question lot relative to the rest of the league? 203 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 1: I thought it was a good question. Maybe I've fed 204 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 1: it to Mike earlier and he took it from me. 205 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 1: I'm not sure, but those those formations are pretty rare 206 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 1: to have three tight ends on the field. You've seen 207 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 1: it a couple of times this year, and teams have 208 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,920 Speaker 1: had some success against you guys in those What makes 209 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 1: that one such a challenge? Is it the same thing 210 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,000 Speaker 1: that you just talked about, or is if does it 211 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 1: include maybe some some personnel swamps on your end to 212 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 1: be able to kind of match what they're doing. Yeah, 213 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:30,199 Speaker 1: I think it gives offensive coordinator a lot of options. 214 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 1: You know, when you put that out there, I think 215 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator is now looking to see how we're 216 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 1: going to match it, and then what does he want 217 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 1: to do from there? You know, are we going big people, 218 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:41,040 Speaker 1: are we going small? Do I want to run it? 219 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,240 Speaker 1: Do I want to spread it? And Um That's why 220 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 1: I said, I think you have so many kind of 221 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 1: matchups issues when you go thirteen and you have tight 222 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,040 Speaker 1: ends out, a versatile that you have to be able 223 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 1: to match and play to however they're using them, and 224 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,439 Speaker 1: you really won't know that until the game gets going. 225 00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,480 Speaker 1: You don't know, like thirteen, especially for this team, you 226 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:01,959 Speaker 1: run thirteen and stuff Henry in the backfield. You can 227 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 1: go thirteen, three tight ends and kind of run smash 228 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 1: mouth football and run the ball. But you could also 229 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 1: go thirteen and spread it out and it's eleven and 230 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,200 Speaker 1: now you're throwing the ball downfield. You're going hard play actions. 231 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,720 Speaker 1: So they have a lot of variables. I would say 232 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,680 Speaker 1: out of thirteen and twelve and really twenty one for 233 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 1: that matter too, because of the way you guys have 234 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 1: kind of played at home. I always get the field 235 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 1: that teams want to come here and kind of win 236 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,800 Speaker 1: games here like a badge Ibana. How do you make 237 00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 1: sure that home field advantage matters as you go through 238 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,760 Speaker 1: these games. I've been hearing it for ten years. Bill 239 00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:38,960 Speaker 1: Cumming and Hardy tells us home field experience all that 240 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,800 Speaker 1: doesn't matter in the playoffs. And it's true. I mean 241 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:45,360 Speaker 1: each year you see, you know, like this weekend, you 242 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:48,160 Speaker 1: could see three teams, all away teams win like you 243 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,040 Speaker 1: don't know. It's all about going out there and playing 244 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,960 Speaker 1: your best football. And I think that's what it is 245 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,720 Speaker 1: for us. You know, last year we had to go 246 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:57,400 Speaker 1: on a road to win to go to the super Bowl, 247 00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:59,320 Speaker 1: and we had no shot to everybody to do that. 248 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,480 Speaker 1: And it comes down to playing your best football. So 249 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,720 Speaker 1: Tennessee's coming here Saturday night. Everyone's gonna tell them they 250 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,320 Speaker 1: have no shot. Patriots don't lose at home, like, they 251 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 1: don't care about that. They're preparing to come in here 252 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 1: and play us tough. And I think that's what we 253 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,680 Speaker 1: have to match. Like all that other stuff is kind 254 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,600 Speaker 1: of thrown out the window of you know how many 255 00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:21,080 Speaker 1: how many wildcard games is this guy played? Our playoff games? 256 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,319 Speaker 1: You know, Tom Brady has more playoffs and games and 257 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,920 Speaker 1: everybody that's gonna suit up Saturday, but that doesn't mean 258 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 1: we're gonna win. Like, we gotta outplay these guys, and 259 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 1: we gotta do it for sixty minutes forty one playoff 260 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,040 Speaker 1: games for Brady, which I was just looking at, which 261 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 1: is amazing. I was going to ask you about him. 262 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:41,320 Speaker 1: He said after Sunday's game that there were players that 263 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:43,920 Speaker 1: he could make, that Eddie should make, that he didn't. 264 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,320 Speaker 1: He was very hard on himself. What have you noticed 265 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:49,120 Speaker 1: from him from being around him? But this week, you 266 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 1: know how he's responded to that the same man. I mean, 267 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:56,240 Speaker 1: he's always gonna be hard on himself. But I've always said, 268 00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:58,160 Speaker 1: I think the best thing about being a player here 269 00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:00,959 Speaker 1: and a young player and get an opportunity to come 270 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:02,560 Speaker 1: in here and work with him is that he doesn't 271 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,080 Speaker 1: change like it. It doesn't matter if he plays great 272 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 1: on Sunday, if it's not as best one like, he 273 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,199 Speaker 1: still comes in here each week and he works his 274 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:12,240 Speaker 1: butt off and he's on Guys, you dropped your quarter 275 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:17,080 Speaker 1: right it's a playoffs, right what we want. And he's 276 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 1: on guys about being ready, and I think I think 277 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 1: it's like that for all of us, especially you know, 278 00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,599 Speaker 1: the older you get, you get to play in these playoffs, 279 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 1: you don't really know how much longer. You don't know 280 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:28,440 Speaker 1: next year is it gonna be the same as your 281 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:30,920 Speaker 1: team gonna make them. So you want to take advantage 282 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,719 Speaker 1: of all these opportunities. And I try to tell a 283 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,120 Speaker 1: young guys the same thing, and I think Tom exhibits 284 00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,079 Speaker 1: that every time he comes out here on the field 285 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,400 Speaker 1: and the playoffs is no different, you know, And I 286 00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:42,839 Speaker 1: think he's probably even more on he's probably studying more 287 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,359 Speaker 1: at home. I think all of us have that mentality, 288 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,360 Speaker 1: you know, you do a little bit more because honest 289 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:50,240 Speaker 1: part of this is this could be our I mean, 290 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:54,320 Speaker 1: I guess today's Wednesday, but for us the Thursday, this 291 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:56,839 Speaker 1: could be our last Thursday of the year. So it 292 00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 1: won't matter if you didn't watch the extra film, if 293 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:02,000 Speaker 1: if next week you don't have anything to do anyway. 294 00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,520 Speaker 1: So I think we all have to have that mentality 295 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 1: that time has of just making sure we do everything 296 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:11,720 Speaker 1: we can to try to play next week. Devin last 297 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 1: time he gets played on a Saturday, the building was electric. 298 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:16,440 Speaker 1: It gets the bills. You guys seem to feed off that. 299 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:21,120 Speaker 1: How important is that to you guys? And would you 300 00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,680 Speaker 1: expect the intensity level to be like to this game. 301 00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:26,680 Speaker 1: I think that's the cool thing about playing at home 302 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,839 Speaker 1: is your fans are gonna come out, and then it's 303 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:31,520 Speaker 1: up to you. You know. I think our fans are 304 00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:34,280 Speaker 1: coming here. They'll be ready to probably go around six 305 00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:37,080 Speaker 1: thirty seven o'clock, you know, hyped up about the game, 306 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:39,679 Speaker 1: But it's up to us, like how we come out 307 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,079 Speaker 1: and play. If we execute, we give them something to 308 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,480 Speaker 1: cheer about. I think will control the energy in the stadium. 309 00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:47,319 Speaker 1: And I think that's what we have to do all week, 310 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:49,600 Speaker 1: Like we don't we can't worry about who's coming. Are 311 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:51,920 Speaker 1: they gonna be allowed? If we just prepare and we 312 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,560 Speaker 1: get ready, and we start fast and we play good football. 313 00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 1: We compliment the offense. The offense compliments our special teams, 314 00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,080 Speaker 1: goes out there and create a good field position for 315 00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:03,680 Speaker 1: both sides. You know, I think the crowd will be electric, 316 00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:05,600 Speaker 1: you know, not just for a quarter or two, They'll 317 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:08,480 Speaker 1: be electric the whole game. After the game, they'll be 318 00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:10,960 Speaker 1: all into it, and I think for us as players, 319 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,560 Speaker 1: if we want that kind of energy, we got to 320 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:15,960 Speaker 1: start doing it yesterday today, and then we got to 321 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,000 Speaker 1: finish it off tomorrow last day on the field, So 322 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:20,440 Speaker 1: I'm excited. We got a good group. Guys have been 323 00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:23,240 Speaker 1: locked in this week. It's about keeping it going and 324 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 1: then finishing at the end of the week. Appreciate it.
