1 00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:03,800 Speaker 1: Tom, good question for you when Julian went out, okay 2 00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:06,000 Speaker 1: in some ways, and I know you want Julian in 3 00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:08,720 Speaker 1: there all the time, but in some ways did that 4 00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:11,319 Speaker 1: open up the offense a little bit more in terms 5 00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:14,000 Speaker 1: of Buffalo not double teaming somebody and having less of 6 00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:15,760 Speaker 1: an idea what you were going to do with the ball. 7 00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:19,680 Speaker 1: I didn't notice too much. You know, it's hard to 8 00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:22,840 Speaker 1: know right now until I really watch it, but I 9 00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:24,680 Speaker 1: think we'd all prefer to have him out there for 10 00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:28,000 Speaker 1: sixty minutes. So how much did he missed? A quarter? 11 00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:34,280 Speaker 1: About fifteen minutes? So, yeah he was running a slant 12 00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:40,800 Speaker 1: and yeah there was unfortunate play, but Gaddy came back 13 00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:45,080 Speaker 1: made a big play like he always does. Tom, I'll 14 00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:48,519 Speaker 1: let you describe the team's preparation this week and focus 15 00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:52,240 Speaker 1: and getting ready for today's game. You got contributions from 16 00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:55,600 Speaker 1: just about everybody. Offensively ran the ball well, offensive line 17 00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:58,240 Speaker 1: fired off the line of scrimmage. You know, Matt gets involved, 18 00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:01,000 Speaker 1: Ben gets involved, which he becomes in he gets involved. 19 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:03,080 Speaker 1: I think, you know, like I said, a good offense 20 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,840 Speaker 1: everyone has to be able to produce. And you know, 21 00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,560 Speaker 1: if you can get both tight ends involved and all 22 00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,240 Speaker 1: receivers involved and all the backs involved. It's hard to defend. 23 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:13,720 Speaker 1: So you know, we just did a good job of 24 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 1: that today. And you know you got to make them 25 00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:19,399 Speaker 1: defend everybody, and you know a lot of guys came 26 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:20,920 Speaker 1: up big. It was a big game for us. We 27 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,559 Speaker 1: needed it and happy to come from behind the fourth 28 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:28,280 Speaker 1: and win. Tom, is there any extra reward when there 29 00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:29,920 Speaker 1: are so many people saying, boy, I don't know if 30 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:31,759 Speaker 1: this offense has it. I don't know if the Patriots 31 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:35,000 Speaker 1: can do what they have done in the past. You 32 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 1: kind of fed off at last year a little bit 33 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 1: when you said everybody says we suck. We'll see, Yeah, 34 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 1: did that enter into it at all? This year? This game? 35 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,039 Speaker 1: This game, I mean, we knew we were going up 36 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:48,920 Speaker 1: against a pretty good defense and you know, if they played, 37 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 1: they played well. They're hard to move the ball on 38 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 1: m I don't think too many of us thought about 39 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 1: the season or much. It was really just one game 40 00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 1: and what we needed to do to try to, you know, 41 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 1: move the ball and score points against a pretty good team. 42 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 1: So I think all those evaluations and stuff take place 43 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 1: after the year, and um, you know, we're just trying 44 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 1: to grind our way through it. Got to take care 45 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,799 Speaker 1: of business next week, try to win and then you 46 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:15,960 Speaker 1: know it's a playoff game for us next week. You know, 47 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,080 Speaker 1: we win, we miss a week, and which is pretty 48 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:22,919 Speaker 1: good reward. Um. What are your thoughts on the eleventh 49 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 1: straight AFC's championship in terms of how that was received 50 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,679 Speaker 1: among the players in the locker room. Yeah, it's pretty so, 51 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 1: you know, I think it's it's pretty cool. You know, 52 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 1: it's pretty cool. It's hard to do and it's a 53 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 1: lot of effort, a lot of hard work, and a 54 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 1: lot of people are just you know, putting, you know, 55 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,240 Speaker 1: day after day, just coming in and sitting in these 56 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 1: chairs and trying to do what's right for the team. 57 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,920 Speaker 1: So it's a great reward. It's it's a great step 58 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,920 Speaker 1: for us. And it's great to control you know, the 59 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 1: ability to do that too. So it's to to win 60 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 1: and know that you win the division is pretty cool. 61 00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 1: So happy for us, Happy for our team and our 62 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 1: coaches and our families and our fans, and hopefully we 63 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 1: can build on and go play great next week. Hey, Tom, 64 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,080 Speaker 1: just want to ask you what was going through your 65 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,800 Speaker 1: mind with Trdavious White on that reverse there and how 66 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,960 Speaker 1: would you evaluate yourself as a lead blocker. I'm pretty 67 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 1: poor it just about everything other than throwing the ball, 68 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 1: so I was trying to just get in his way. 69 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 1: But it was it's a good hard run by Nikkiel 70 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 1: and you know, it's a good play in the game. 71 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 1: Turn Hi. Given all the things that did go well 72 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 1: offensively today, is this something that you can carry over 73 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 1: into the next game? Does it give you confidence? Is 74 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,840 Speaker 1: it something that you can truly build on? Yeah? I 75 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 1: think it was, you know, more balanced than than we've been, 76 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 1: and we ran the ball good and effectively against a 77 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 1: really good defense. So that's always good. Now, I think 78 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,119 Speaker 1: one game doesn't always necessarily lead to the next, So 79 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 1: I think you just have to you know, you just 80 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 1: have to keep building, you know, week to week on 81 00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 1: some things that maybe we did good that worked out, 82 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 1: and the things that didn't you kind of move on 83 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 1: from them. But we knew that there was it was 84 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 1: gonna be a tough test, and uh, you know, we 85 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 1: got the ball, we turned and I think we lost 86 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 1: a turnover battle. I don't think they turned it over 87 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 1: and we lost one. And then this the fourth down 88 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 1: opportunity before half. So I hate to have those things happen, 89 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:23,279 Speaker 1: but I'm glad we overcame. It fakes a factor, especially 90 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:27,360 Speaker 1: in this game, because only did you do it well? Yeah, 91 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 1: they did a good job. And I think that it's 92 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,719 Speaker 1: you know, running the ball well is what really sells 93 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 1: the run. You know, if you're gaining yards when you 94 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 1: hand it off, they've got to play more downhill. And 95 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 1: I think if they're just sitting back because they're not 96 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:39,599 Speaker 1: really believing that you're gonna run it and you can't 97 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 1: get through the D line, then you know, it does 98 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,599 Speaker 1: end up being too much. So the fact that we 99 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 1: were running it good was was really important. So last one, Tom, 100 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:50,600 Speaker 1: we saw you throwing the ball pretty well tonight and 101 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 1: you came off the injury report this week. How are 102 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 1: you feeling this at this point in the season. I 103 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,239 Speaker 1: feel good. It's a new injury, this isn't the old elbow, 104 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:02,040 Speaker 1: so will be fine. Thank you guys, appreciate your concern.
