You know, 18 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:56,680 Speaker 1: we understand the risk, but you never want to see 19 00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:59,440 Speaker 1: anything like that, and you know, just how to approach 20 00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 1: it with the guys, how to kind of work through 21 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:06,360 Speaker 1: this process.

You know, the Matthew Slayters, the 25 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 1: Devin mcquardy's, would say their names all the time. Really 26 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:17,640 Speaker 1: leaned on those guys. Talk to you a few guys, 27 00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:19,360 Speaker 1: check in with them. You gotta check in on their 28 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:23,440 Speaker 1: mental well being. But overall pretty good. You've played in 29 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,880 Speaker 1: tough environments before, obviously, is there any way to prepare 30 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 1: this team for what you guys might face this weekend? 31 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:31,280 Speaker 1: Not at all. You know this is gonna be This 32 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,880 Speaker 1: is gonna be an intense environment. And look, I always say, 33 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:35,920 Speaker 1: you know, going down to Buffaloes like playing and you 34 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,280 Speaker 1: know in the college you know, SEC stadium, So it's 35 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 1: definitely gonna be. Tell, how do you maybe help guys 36 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 1: get the intensity that they need to play in a 37 00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 1: football game. They have to work up every week to 38 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 1: playing football. Yeah, when they have really strong feeling for Honestly, 39 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,720 Speaker 1: you win and you're in And that's the mentality. Like 40 00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 1: there's no speech or anything like that a coach can 41 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 1: give you. It's look, either you win and you're in 42 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 1: the playoffs, are you lose and you go home? So 43 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 1: plastic bag game? What does that mean that means if 44 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:08,840 Speaker 1: you lose, you get a big plastic bag, trash bag 45 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 1: trash bag game. You think the Bills will be extra energized, 46 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 1: motivated playing for their guy. Absolutely know, any time a 47 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 1: guy gets injured like that, you know they're definitely gonna 48 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:21,960 Speaker 1: be motivated. But we have to go out there and 49 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,360 Speaker 1: execute our game plan as well, and we'll see what happens. 50 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,520 Speaker 1: Is there is there some kind of focus on on 51 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:31,079 Speaker 1: matching the energy that you'll see from the other side. 52 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:32,799 Speaker 1: I'm just thinking of some games that you know, even 53 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 1: you played in the twenty fourteen game in Kansas City, 54 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 1: I think they were trying to set the record. You know, 55 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,680 Speaker 1: they're trying to break a crowd noise record that that 56 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 1: night or something. But at the end of the day, 57 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 1: our job is a silence the crowd and that's gonna 58 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 1: be our goal on Sundays here, Bills Day authentic. You 59 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,640 Speaker 1: have sure playing times too. Every everyone is different, every 60 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,520 Speaker 1: situation differently, So what might have been your overarching message 61 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:58,080 Speaker 1: to approach this with the guys understanding everyone reacts differently 62 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 1: to Monday night. Yeah, it's really on the end of 63 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 1: vidual coaches to check in with their guys you know, um, 64 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:04,360 Speaker 1: you know, the head coach, he can't check in with 65 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,359 Speaker 1: each individual, and so it was on us and our 66 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 1: messages like we just gotta keep fighting.
