This is tough, but we're rolling 33 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:45,200 Speaker 1: with it. You know, we're rolling rolling the punges it is. 34 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 1: That's it. So December sixth was the pass meeting against 35 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,560 Speaker 1: the Bills. This is a quick turnaround to see the 36 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 1: same team. Um, what have you learned in the past 37 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:58,720 Speaker 1: when you've had situations like this? You know how that 38 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 1: first meeting it was so recent, you know, factors into 39 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:07,240 Speaker 1: the second one. Yeah, I mean division game. Um, you 40 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,920 Speaker 1: know you're gonna play these divisional games sometimes real close. 41 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,120 Speaker 1: So I mean I've played a few of these where 42 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,080 Speaker 1: they're really really close. You know, two or three weeks 43 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:15,919 Speaker 1: a bar. I mean we did it earlier in the 44 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 1: year kind of with the Jets, Um, you know, and 45 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 1: it's I mean it's it's gonna be a tough game, 46 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 1: and we know it is. I mean, we knew it 47 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:23,799 Speaker 1: was gonna be a tough game in the first time, 48 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,680 Speaker 1: but to turn around and play them again really fast, 49 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 1: I mean, it's gonna be the same thing. Um, and 50 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 1: they're gonna be ready to come in, um, and you 51 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,400 Speaker 1: know we're gonna have to match it, and it'll be 52 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,240 Speaker 1: a tough, physical game that you know, come down, come 53 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 1: down to you know a lot of key situations and 54 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 1: going through everything. So, um, you know, we're practicing hard, 55 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 1: try to get better. We'll get ready to go. How 56 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,400 Speaker 1: does that challenge you in your preparations, because in some 57 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 1: respects you already know them right like you're starting from 58 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 1: a first it seems like you're like a further point ahead, 59 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 1: or maybe you don't look at it that way. I 60 00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 1: think you just continue to grow, continue to see what 61 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 1: they've done, and um, you know, I mean, yeah, you 62 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,799 Speaker 1: have some familiarity with what kind of what they do 63 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 1: and who they are and the players and all that stuff. 64 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 1: But at the same time, you continue to grow, continue 65 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 1: to watch and you kind of start over again, um, 66 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,239 Speaker 1: and just kind of watch it like you know, you're 67 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 1: you're just the first time you're playing them and learning 68 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 1: them from him. So, UM, I think that's the biggest 69 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,920 Speaker 1: thing you lock in on Hunter my last one. You know, 70 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 1: you're you're, You're asked about mac a lot. I sort 71 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,359 Speaker 1: of wanted to ask it a little differently this week, 72 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 1: if that's okay, Like when he's faced adversity, like, what 73 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 1: have you noticed in how he's responded to it at 74 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 1: any point, you know, between when you first got to 75 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 1: know him in the spring to now. Yeah, I mean 76 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 1: he's uh, he faces it head on, man, he does 77 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 1: it back down. UM. And we obviously everybody knows we 78 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 1: had a tough start at the beginning of the year 79 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 1: and you know, as a quarterback and the leader of 80 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 1: you know, our team, UM, a lot of blank and 81 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 1: he put on him and he faced that head on. 82 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 1: UM was able to just continue to go to work 83 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 1: and fight through that. And then it's the same thing. 84 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 1: I mean in games, you know, he can make a 85 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 1: bad read, bad play or anything like that, and he 86 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 1: continues to strap forward and I think it shows a 87 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 1: lot to us offensively that even when we have bad players, 88 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 1: we got to continue to keep going too. So he's 89 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:20,719 Speaker 1: doing a great job of that. Next question, Nick quite 90 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 1: thank you, Steph Merry Christmas. First of all, Hunter thinking 91 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:28,919 Speaker 1: thank you many so too. From me. First off, just 92 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,360 Speaker 1: kind of going off of Mike's question, there was there 93 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 1: a point where you and Mac maybe you know, clicked 94 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,279 Speaker 1: on something. Maybe it was in practice, maybe something something 95 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 1: hit where you said, man, we can build the kind 96 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 1: of chemistry that you guys have built here the last 97 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 1: few months. I don't know if it was a certain thing. 98 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 1: I think it's just a continued repetitions, continued trust and 99 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 1: just a feel for each other. I mean, you know, 100 00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,599 Speaker 1: we didn't get a lot of that during training camp 101 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 1: and the spring, I mean and him being new, me 102 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 1: being new, so there was a lot of you know, 103 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 1: new stuff kind of going on. So that just continuing 104 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 1: to build over this time. And I think every single rep, 105 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:13,800 Speaker 1: no matter what it was, ross on air, team rep, 106 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 1: anytime we got anything together and we knew kind of 107 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,039 Speaker 1: something we need to be locked in on and you know, 108 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,920 Speaker 1: maybe it's something we need to look at. Um. I 109 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 1: feel like that each time that we you know, did 110 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 1: something and just a little bit more trust, um, you know, 111 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 1: him trusting me, me trusting him, and you know that 112 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 1: that just continues to grow each time you take reps together. 113 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 1: And then my second question, Josh McDaniels had said earlier 114 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,799 Speaker 1: in the week that you know, yes, you are seeing 115 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 1: the bills for the second time this month, but it 116 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 1: felt like offensively, maybe you're coming up with a new 117 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,839 Speaker 1: sort of game plan. Barring any changes in the forecast 118 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 1: for the wind on Sunday, does it feel like it's 119 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 1: a little bit newer and you know, excited to unleash 120 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,039 Speaker 1: maybe more of the passing attack on Sunday. Yeah, I 121 00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 1: mean it'll be uh, it'll be definitely a like I mean, yeah, 122 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,479 Speaker 1: we're playing them, you know, pretty quick turnaround. But it 123 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 1: was definitely a different game, um that we played them 124 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 1: last time, you know, when we were in Buffalo. It 125 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 1: was it was pretty wild there. So, um, you know, 126 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 1: it definitely will be a different game this weekend. Um, 127 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 1: you know, on both sides of the ball, I mean, 128 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 1: their offense, our offense. Um, you know, it'll be, um, 129 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 1: just different schemes and different ways we can do things. 130 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,120 Speaker 1: I mean, we you know, we ran the ball four 131 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,240 Speaker 1: to five times last time, so, um, you know it'll 132 00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 1: be it'll be a little different. Um, definitely come to Sunday. 133 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 1: Thanks Hunter, yeah man. And final question Jimmy Bride.
