1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,480
Speaker 1: We were just asking Nikovich if he'd ever gotten in

2
00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:05,080
Speaker 1: a football fight, and he admitted that he started several

3
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:08,720
Speaker 1: of them. Have you ever been in a football fight? No,

4
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:12,320
Speaker 1: I've never kind of trying and stay out of those.

5
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:16,599
Speaker 1: I mean, James isn't a very like like. He doesn't

6
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:19,919
Speaker 1: want to fight guys. He's kind of most of the time,

7
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:23,560
Speaker 1: so he sticks to himself and doesn't want to, you know,

8
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:25,599
Speaker 1: get in the mix. But in the trenches it's a

9
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 1: little bit violent. Happens now, it happens and people are

10
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 1: punching each other all the time, so you know it's

11
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:35,879
Speaker 1: bound to happen inside the trenches area. You guys came

12
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:40,160
Speaker 1: out of Chicago with a thirty eight thirty one win yesterday. Unfortunately,

13
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:42,839
Speaker 1: first play of the second quarter, you lost Sony Michelle

14
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:45,880
Speaker 1: for the day. You went in without Rob Nikovich, Rob

15
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 1: Gronkowski for the day. You also went in without Rob Nickovic.

16
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 1: Wasn't there yet without Rob Gronkowski for the day. Given

17
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 1: those scenarios, how do you think that the offense performed well?

18
00:00:56,680 --> 00:01:01,279
Speaker 1: Did we try to reform pretty well to a turnover one?

19
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: Now we're trying to avoid those as much as possible.

20
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 1: We have. He had to play a game without turning

21
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,399
Speaker 1: the ball over. So we do things to work on,

22
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 1: but we were able to put up points, so you know,

23
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 1: try and help our defense out and we just had

24
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 1: to come away with a win. Tom Brady discussed it

25
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:17,639
Speaker 1: a little bit this morning when he was on our

26
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 1: radio station with Kirk and Callahan about the trust developing

27
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:25,559
Speaker 1: between he and Josh Gordon. What are you seeing out

28
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 1: of Josh Gordon, not just the trust between he and Brady,

29
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:32,959
Speaker 1: but Josh Gordon learning the offense and developing in general.

30
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 1: I mean, as soon as he staid in the bill,

31
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:39,040
Speaker 1: he bought in. He's working extremely hard, taking the coach

32
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 1: and working hard on the practice field, and you can

33
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: tell his showing up on game day each and every week.

34
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:45,319
Speaker 1: You know he's getting more comfortable out there and playing

35
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 1: on more confidence. And he's a good football player and

36
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 1: you can see that he's able to make big plays

37
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 1: for us, as you can see on Sunday had a

38
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 1: huge fourth down conversion each played on mcut where you

39
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 1: almost score. So he's a guy that can you know,

40
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: he's a game changer. So James I had to I

41
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 1: felt bad for ninety four. Leonard Floyd, you had to

42
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 1: give him the stem and then the stick inside and

43
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 1: then out and he just jumped and bit on it.

44
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 1: Easy touchdown. Um, did did that guy say anything to you?

45
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,519
Speaker 1: Because you were on man to man coverage, she was

46
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 1: having a hard time all day on you all, you

47
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 1: need to say anything to me. I mean, that was

48
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: their their game plan, to drop the deep into them.

49
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 1: So that's not a good idea to just win my

50
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 1: one one matchup no matter who it is. So yeah,

51
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: one on one I gotta win. But you did a

52
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: great job. I've witnessed that many of times. But good job.

53
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 1: Good Did you ever want to punch James after he

54
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 1: did that? No, the trick is to get you, Like

55
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 1: when I watch these other people try and cover a

56
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,079
Speaker 1: quick guy that you can't cover unless you hit him.

57
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 1: You gotta hit him, you gotta do something. They just

58
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,839
Speaker 1: dropped back and then they wait and then he gives

59
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: them the slide, you know, like he comes right at

60
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: you and then gives you a little wiggle and then

61
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 1: breaks out and you're done. It's over with. So teams

62
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:05,920
Speaker 1: they just won't learn. So it's okay, you're gonna keep scoring.

63
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 1: I love it, James. You have told us on a

64
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 1: number of occasions this season that that you can do

65
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 1: whatever the team wants you to do. You can run

66
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:20,519
Speaker 1: between the tackles. You're obviously a great pass catching running back. Yesterday,

67
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 1: because of injury, you probably ended up having to carry

68
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: the ball more than than you're used to. How did

69
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: you come out of it? I feel fine, I said,

70
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 1: I feel poufortable doing whatever the coach you need me

71
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 1: to do. But it's blocking, run between the tackles outside,

72
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 1: you know, whatever, it is, compient my abilities, and I

73
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: was glad didn't get the job done. What was that

74
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: direct snap play like? Because I'd love the acting of

75
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: Tom Brady going down to the right side of the

76
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 1: line and who, I forget, who is he screaming at?

77
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: You want to play talking about him? It's okay, okay?

78
00:03:58,080 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: Is that the kind of play that you can really

79
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 1: only run once during a season? Yeah? Pretty much. That's

80
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: like gotta you know, just to com predict this coming,

81
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 1: but you never know. It's you can run it again,

82
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 1: but it's just gotta do a different a different variation,

83
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 1: a little different variation. I'm not going to talk about

84
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:21,280
Speaker 1: variations of Bill calling there. Uh yeah, they they'll do

85
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 1: so they could do other things off of that. They

86
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: sell it really well though, I mean Tom screaming, Everyone's like,

87
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,799
Speaker 1: I love the place. Dwayne Allen's Dwayne Allen's like pointing,

88
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:31,840
Speaker 1: like like trying to motion and kick them out, get

89
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:33,720
Speaker 1: them out. But that was that was a good one.

90
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 1: I just guys, sometimes when you try and trick people,

91
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:39,599
Speaker 1: it doesn't trick them, and you're like, dang it that

92
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:44,599
Speaker 1: we wasted that one. You know, you guys got a

93
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: couple of victory days. You got today off, you got

94
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: tomorrow off. Is that the sort of thing that that

95
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 1: fits in just right with a body try to recover

96
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,599
Speaker 1: from a tough football game. It's good to have those

97
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 1: days off. We gotta take care of your body. Um,

98
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:02,040
Speaker 1: you know the posters. We play on Monday nights after

99
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 1: you extra day, so study one. Our opponent is a

100
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:10,039
Speaker 1: tough divisional road game, so be preparing for it. Speaking

101
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: of that tough divisional road game, is there any hotel

102
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 1: to stadium bus ride like the one in Buffalo around

103
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: the league? Is that about the most interesting one you'll have?

104
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 1: Let me you see difference dusts with different stadiums, but

105
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 1: they have an interesting fan base and they're always That

106
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 1: was my favorite. That was my favorite bus ride by

107
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 1: the way, that was Why was that your favorite? Because

108
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 1: you would see certain things coming in James, James, can

109
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,280
Speaker 1: you can you play off that? What exactly have you

110
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 1: seen that? It's interesting going into Buffalo? There's all types

111
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,040
Speaker 1: of things. He's not gonna get into it. He can't

112
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,479
Speaker 1: get into it. Okay, he's going there. I can talk

113
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,599
Speaker 1: about it. I mean there's people that are wasted before

114
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 1: the game, You're like, how are you gonna make it?

115
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:56,720
Speaker 1: And then you see after the game they didn't make it.

116
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,159
Speaker 1: They just were still like in the parking lot, didn't

117
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 1: even make it into this. I've heard I've heard mooning

118
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:08,159
Speaker 1: people people seen mooning and uh, frontal money so which

119
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 1: I think is awkward because like like why would you

120
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 1: do that? Like why would you why would you flash me?

121
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 1: Like would you show me that? That's weird? That's weird?

122
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,479
Speaker 1: And in the bus you can't see. But like I

123
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 1: so badly want like a non tinted bus to where

124
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 1: you could just double burdom, like like what are you doing?

125
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 1: Like grow up, grow up bills mafia. See running backs

126
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 1: don't think like that. Linebackers, defensive lineman they think that way. James,

127
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:38,359
Speaker 1: you know, offensive mindsets. I'm just gonna say, yeah, they

128
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 1: got a different type of mindset defensively. Yeah, we're a

129
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 1: little little more normal, except for Julian. Julian is similar

130
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: to a defensive mindset. Like they'll try and bite through

131
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 1: a concrete like spoon and like you'd be like, why

132
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:50,919
Speaker 1: are you biting that? I was like, I don't know,

133
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 1: I just want to try it. See that's why if

134
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 1: the whole, the whole fake out of Brady yelling at Julian,

135
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: everybody in the defense is going, hell, yeah, that's real.

136
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 1: I want want to yell at him. Of course he's

137
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 1: yelling at Julie, and everybody wants to yell at him.

138
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,160
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mean I'm good enough friends with Jules,

139
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:07,919
Speaker 1: I can yell at him. I'll yell at him. You

140
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: have to. Sometimes you'd be like, what are you what

141
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: are you doing? He's like what bro, bro whatever? But

142
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 1: well said, all right, James, congratulations on the win, good

143
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 1: luck next Monday night, and Buffalo, We'll talk to you

144
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 1: again soon. Take to James,
