1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,320
Speaker 1: It's taught. Were there any other injuries that came out

2
00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:06,720
Speaker 1: after the last time, No, not that I know of

3
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:09,240
Speaker 1: right now. Some people saw it, but no other injuries

4
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:14,920
Speaker 1: are reported. What happened with Kemball Tompkins as far as

5
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 1: and being tired off the fields? What would the injury?

6
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:20,439
Speaker 1: He had a lower leg injury. It turned out to

7
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:23,320
Speaker 1: be more of a muscle spas and type of deals

8
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:25,639
Speaker 1: and a major injury. That's why I came back. It

9
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 1: looked worse than it was. Some of your players talked

10
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:35,840
Speaker 1: yesterday about your your speech to them after the Texas

11
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 1: game kind of being a turning point. What do you

12
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 1: remember about that and what what was your message? And

13
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:42,319
Speaker 1: you were trying to get across at that point when

14
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:47,240
Speaker 1: you guys were five and fives. Just remember we weren't

15
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:51,279
Speaker 1: playing well, and you know, there's a point we were

16
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 1: going back and forth. It can't be a five hundred team.

17
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 1: Either have to get better and tread water. You have

18
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 1: to tread water and get worse so you can get

19
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 1: better as a team. And you know, we started playing

20
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 1: better after that. I don't know if that was the reason,

21
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 1: but we started playing better after that. Todd, we were

22
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 1: just talking to Calvin Pace and he said at that

23
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 1: moment of the season, he got the feeling that he

24
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:15,679
Speaker 1: was either the team was going to come together or

25
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 1: the ship was gonna sink. Those were his pretty much

26
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,039
Speaker 1: his exact words. Did you get the feeling that that

27
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 1: was a cross roads as well? No, I didn't. I

28
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,320
Speaker 1: don't think the ship was gonna think. That's not on

29
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,320
Speaker 1: cow And I'm sorry he didn't mean it that way. Uh,

30
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 1: And we were going to do anything from a playoff

31
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,319
Speaker 1: standpoint in the season standpoint, and that was the time

32
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: to come together. But we were still growing and building then,

33
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 1: so it wasn't a problem of wearing about the ships thinking,

34
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:43,320
Speaker 1: just a matter of play more consistent. So I hid

35
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 1: the Bills look different than the team you saw in

36
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: early November. I mean the same team. They're running the

37
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: football pretty well, they played great defense, and they got

38
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 1: a big play receiver. So there's gonna be another tough

39
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 1: game going in there plays playing the football game. We

40
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 1: just gotta making us play to win. Scott, how do

41
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 1: you think you guys are different from when you were

42
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:09,079
Speaker 1: when you lost to the build. Hopefully we've grown from

43
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 1: a mental standpoint, you know, we we guys trust each

44
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 1: other a lot more. They're playing together a lot better.

45
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 1: So from that point we're a little bit bit different.

46
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,959
Speaker 1: Do you think your team has grown enough to handle

47
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 1: the pressure of what basically is a playoff game? Well,

48
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks of the playoffs games, they're

49
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 1: really have no pressure. They just played together and we

50
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 1: have fun and we try to get better better at

51
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 1: the team. There's no pressure on us, and we know

52
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 1: we have to win. We've been having to win the

53
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 1: past four weeks, five weeks, so it's no different going

54
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 1: in the Sunday tod Do you expect that Rex Ryan,

55
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 1: will you know, be probing these guys up to try

56
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 1: and knock you out of the playoffs? I don't know.

57
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:58,359
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sure they're trying to win the game

58
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,679
Speaker 1: as well. It would be something you probably to ask him.

59
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 1: I just gotta worry about my team. But do you

60
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,399
Speaker 1: But do you believe in that in that concept though?

61
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: Can he can he coach he's on something like that

62
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 1: and explain it to his players in a way we're

63
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 1: motivating them in a way that there would be a

64
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:21,360
Speaker 1: different come Sunday. I don't know. You would have to

65
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 1: ask a coach that would do that that that's that's

66
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,079
Speaker 1: just not me. I'm trying to win every game. I'll

67
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 1: share every coach in the league is trying to win

68
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 1: every game, and everybody has different methods. So whatever works

69
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 1: for that team will works for us, works for us.

70
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 1: Whatever works for everybody else works for everybody else. God,

71
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 1: you've taken the approach the last few weeks of you know,

72
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: you guys just have to take care of business and

73
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: then the playoffs will take care of themselves. But now

74
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 1: this one is winning, you're in. Will you talk about

75
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: the playoffs this week with your team? Will you address

76
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 1: that the situation that you know what you're playing for Sunday?

77
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: Or will you try to treat this like, you know,

78
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: just another game? Kind of tree is the same? I

79
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 1: mean we I mean we understand what we're going up against,

80
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 1: and we understand what happens this week, so they know

81
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 1: that fully well, but we've got to continue to do

82
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: the things we've been doing. We try to do anything

83
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 1: else and we won't have a chance to win. So

84
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:20,799
Speaker 1: why why do you prefer that approach? Well, it depends

85
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 1: on how you are when you get a new team together,

86
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 1: and you've got to have a pulse for your team

87
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,159
Speaker 1: and see where they are, and there will be a

88
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,919
Speaker 1: time when it changes when the team takes over and

89
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 1: takes that approach until you can get to that team

90
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 1: and you have enough time to put your imprint on

91
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 1: things and they see how you want to do things

92
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 1: and how the coaches when things done. Sometimes they take

93
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 1: it over, They take it over early in the season,

94
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 1: sometimes they take it over later. But you've got to

95
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 1: have a post to your team and make sure they

96
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: always ground it and understand what's going on around them

97
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,040
Speaker 1: and not let the game get too big for him.

98
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: What are the something that you would look for in

99
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:59,799
Speaker 1: that in that case, well, it can go both ways.

100
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: You can hear a lot of complaining if you're losing.

101
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 1: You can hear a lot of bravotto if you're winning.

102
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 1: And when you do those things, sometimes you let the

103
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 1: little fundamentals and things slip by, and we just need

104
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,479
Speaker 1: to make sure we don't let anything slipped by and

105
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: we continue to do the things that got us to

106
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: this point. Calen Pates was saying, Um, you know he

107
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 1: can sense the point this season where the players bought in,

108
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,479
Speaker 1: bought into you and the way you were preaching. Did

109
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 1: you get a sense of that at all at any

110
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:31,720
Speaker 1: point this year that you you know your message was

111
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,280
Speaker 1: getting through and you're buying in. Well, it's still a

112
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,679
Speaker 1: work in progress. I mean, I think we're playing better

113
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 1: and they're coming together themselves. And as a coach, all

114
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,039
Speaker 1: you try to do is make them see what the

115
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 1: vision is and then work towards getting there. And a

116
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 1: lot of that has to do with them trusting each other.

117
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: Obviously they have to know what you're talking about from

118
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,720
Speaker 1: a coaching standpoint as a player, but them trusting each

119
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 1: other and then believing in each other and getting that

120
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,159
Speaker 1: type of camaraderie and chemistry takes a while, and I

121
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: do see some that coming together. Did you hear anything

122
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 1: from Parsala's last night He's just sick congrats. Did you

123
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 1: always see this team as a playoff team? Well, we

124
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: gotta get to the playoffs for me to answer that.

125
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:17,280
Speaker 1: H
