1 00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:03,880 Speaker 1: I guess first you one, can you talk about I 2 00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:06,520 Speaker 1: guess the revenge factor. It's just going up against the 3 00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:09,239 Speaker 1: Vision opponent the second time around after they got you 4 00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:11,800 Speaker 1: the last time, and obviously there's a lot on the 5 00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:16,239 Speaker 1: line as you guys look for playoff seating as far 6 00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:18,159 Speaker 1: as like revenge and all that stuff. Man, it's the 7 00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:21,760 Speaker 1: next game. It's eighteen Week eighteen. We're excited about the matchup. 8 00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:25,520 Speaker 1: We're looking to go to Miami and they got a 9 00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:27,320 Speaker 1: lot of good players on their team, so it's excited 10 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:33,080 Speaker 1: about the opportunity. With this being the extra week Week seventeen. 11 00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:35,280 Speaker 1: This is like the first time that you guys ever 12 00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:37,120 Speaker 1: done that. As as a guy that's been around a 13 00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:39,640 Speaker 1: little while, do you feel that on your body that 14 00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:41,440 Speaker 1: extra game. Maybe some of the older guys like a 15 00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:43,479 Speaker 1: Devin mcquartery or something would feel a little bit more. 16 00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:45,879 Speaker 1: But do you guys notice the wear and tear of 17 00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:47,920 Speaker 1: an extra game in the regular season. I mean, at 18 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,920 Speaker 1: this point comes with the territory with him to add 19 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:52,960 Speaker 1: another week, you kind of got to roll with the punches. 20 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:57,080 Speaker 1: It's another game on the schedule, so you gotta get 21 00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,040 Speaker 1: excited about it. I mean, whether or not you like 22 00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:02,400 Speaker 1: it or not, that's all in your preference. But with 23 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:04,080 Speaker 1: it being a game on the schedule, we got to 24 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,920 Speaker 1: get excited about it, and we're excited to execute have 25 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:10,640 Speaker 1: another opportunity to go win a football game. What have 26 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:14,160 Speaker 1: you seen differently from Miami? Obviously a lot has changed 27 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,480 Speaker 1: from week one to now, but winners of seven of 28 00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:18,760 Speaker 1: their last eight games. What have you seen out of 29 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,399 Speaker 1: their offense over the last eight weeks. Oh, they've got 30 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:23,720 Speaker 1: a lot of new pieces as far as the running 31 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,560 Speaker 1: backs and all that kind of stuff. But obviously too 32 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 1: is looking a lot more comfortable in the offense. So 33 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,319 Speaker 1: excited about the opportunity. They got a lot of good guys, 34 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:34,520 Speaker 1: a lot of good schemes and all those kind of 35 00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:36,840 Speaker 1: good things. So excited. Like I said, it's kind of 36 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 1: gonna be the phrase of the day. Excited about the opportunity. 37 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 1: They got a lot of good players and they're used 38 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,040 Speaker 1: them well. So we got to get ready to go. 39 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 1: It wasn't more for me if nobody else is on yet. 40 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,320 Speaker 1: Stacy Um, you said, some guys like it, some guys 41 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 1: don't like it. How do you feel about that that 42 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 1: seventeenth game in adding another game to the regular season 43 00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:00,560 Speaker 1: before a postseason run. Well, I mean took away the 44 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 1: preseason game. And I mean I'm not here to kind 45 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 1: of confirm or deny whether or not I like the 46 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 1: uh the extra game, but it's there. You can't do 47 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,519 Speaker 1: nothing about it. So since it's since it is there, 48 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 1: we got, um, we're ready to go. We gotta get 49 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,440 Speaker 1: we gotta be ready to go regardless. So this is 50 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,240 Speaker 1: this is what it is. Obviously, you can't control those 51 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,079 Speaker 1: kinds of things. So we right here, right now, we're 52 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 1: prepping for the game and we're excited to go down 53 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 1: to Miami.

I just had a question for you. 115 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 1: As you guys come into sort of the last game 116 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,559 Speaker 1: of the regular season here, do you have a sense 117 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 1: of the identity of the team and whether you guys 118 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,840 Speaker 1: are closer to the team that you know, one seven 119 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:19,039 Speaker 1: in a row and really dominant fashion or the team 120 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,760 Speaker 1: that suffered, you know, two tough losses by double digits 121 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 1: to some fellow playoff contenders. Oh well, identity changed from 122 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 1: week to week. Basically what the teams we're playing. We're excited, 123 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,920 Speaker 1: but we get excited about the opportunity. Obviously, you don't 124 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 1: want to go out there and lose two games, but 125 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 1: we just look to build off of each week, just 126 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:40,919 Speaker 1: constantly get better. So going into the going to this 127 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,600 Speaker 1: next week against Miami, we're really just our focus is 128 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 1: solely on Miami. Everything after everything before, it's not none 129 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:50,280 Speaker 1: of our concern. Right now, we're focused on Miami going 130 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,480 Speaker 1: down there doing what we have to do. They got 131 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 1: a lot of good players, they got a lot of 132 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 1: good schemes. So right now we're excited about the opportunity. 133 00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 1: What happened before or what happens after that, well, focus 134 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,599 Speaker 1: on that later, but right now we're here. Yeah. The 135 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 1: reason I asked that is just they showed the locker 136 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:07,920 Speaker 1: room video of Bill, you know, after you guys beat Jacksonville, 137 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 1: and he was saying, you know, we were the more 138 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 1: physical team. You know, we controlled the game and played 139 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 1: from ahead, and basically on paraphrase, you know, that's what 140 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:21,560 Speaker 1: we have to do, that's who we have to be. Well, yeah, 141 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 1: I mean you really didn't ask the question right there, 142 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean you kind of kind of hit 143 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 1: it on. Do you agree with that? I guess, you know, 144 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 1: it seemed like he was sort of saying like, here's 145 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 1: I know you have to make adjustment scheme wise every week, 146 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:34,680 Speaker 1: but just from a sort of global you know, who 147 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 1: you want to be as a team standpoint, it seems 148 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:39,440 Speaker 1: like he was kind of sending a message there well 149 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 1: the kind of things he named the things that help 150 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 1: you win football games. So we was able to get 151 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:46,240 Speaker 1: that done last week. Right now, we're just enjoying the 152 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:49,160 Speaker 1: process of getting Phillip the tank again and be able 153 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 1: to do that again and focus on our key things 154 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 1: that we have to get done. So a weekend, a 155 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 1: week out right now is Thursday, We're focused on Friday's 156 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 1: practice and maybe to get those things done again. But 157 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 1: it's a day to day process. It's a daily grind 158 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,040 Speaker 1: and we're excited about the journey, and the journeys holds 159 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,360 Speaker 1: a lot of different things, but we're taking them one 160 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 1: day at a time. Thanks, Jaman, appreciate it, no problem. 161 00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 1: Next question, Zach Cox um, and we'll take two final 162 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:23,400 Speaker 1: questions Zach Cox in love and reading Hege. One, You 163 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:26,240 Speaker 1: guys are are two and six in your last eight 164 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 1: games down in Miami. Is there anything about playing there 165 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:35,439 Speaker 1: that that makes it a difficult setting or stadium or 166 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:39,480 Speaker 1: environment to play in? Well, our record in Miami has 167 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 1: nothing to do with this game in general. We had 168 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 1: a lot of different players, We're a whole different team, 169 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,600 Speaker 1: So as far as that record is concerned, that has 170 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:49,760 Speaker 1: nothing to do with at the moment. So right now 171 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:52,960 Speaker 1: we're focus on this game and focused on this week 172 00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:55,080 Speaker 1: and the guys we have around us, and we're looking 173 00:08:55,080 --> 00:09:01,600 Speaker 1: to get the job done. Great, thank you, And last question, 174 00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:05,040 Speaker 1: love and reasons. Joan, you just mentioned first and foremost, 175 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:06,600 Speaker 1: how you one? How are you doing? I'm sorry didn't 176 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:10,319 Speaker 1: say hello, that was really I'm all good man, I appreciate. Okay, 177 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 1: you just mentioned filling up the tank and emptying it. 178 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 1: How much is how important is it to empty the 179 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 1: tank as much as you can in this game because 180 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:22,559 Speaker 1: it would be foolish to look ahead to the postseason? Yeah, 181 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:24,600 Speaker 1: you can't do that. I'm a big fan of focusing 182 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,079 Speaker 1: on each week. Each week is a big game, regardless 183 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 1: of what team you're playing, regardless of when you're playing 184 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 1: the team, Each game has to be your sole focused. 185 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,320 Speaker 1: Each game is a big game because it's the next one. 186 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 1: So regardless of what happens, or what we have ahead 187 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,320 Speaker 1: of us, or what we put happened behind us, the 188 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,680 Speaker 1: next game is the important thing on our tast on 189 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 1: our task list, So if you ask me, we put 190 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:51,240 Speaker 1: everything in the tank for this week. Obviously, we we 191 00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,920 Speaker 1: played Jacksonville last week, but that's last week. So right 192 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 1: now you had the tank on e from releasing all 193 00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 1: of the all the energy, all the good vibes and 194 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:00,840 Speaker 1: those things like that from last week. Now you have 195 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,200 Speaker 1: to refill that tank back up and be ready to 196 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 1: go against another great football team, another football team that's eager, 197 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,200 Speaker 1: another football team that's good to have a lot of 198 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,560 Speaker 1: good pieces up and down the roster. We got to 199 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:13,760 Speaker 1: be ready to go and that's our focus. So right 200 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,760 Speaker 1: now on Thursday, we're looking forward to Friday practice to 201 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:18,440 Speaker 1: be able to kind of tighten up all the loose 202 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,680 Speaker 1: singes and things like that to be able to execute 203 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:24,040 Speaker 1: on Sunday.
