• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Take the Bills on Sunday and how much of a threat.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a great player obviously.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: You know, I'll put we played against them two years.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Ago and remember going into that game and just the
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: just the threat that he poses, you know, running the ball,
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: throwing the ball, extending plays. Obviously, not just him, their offense,
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: their receivers, their line, their backs. I think every all
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: those guys can are capable of making plays, and obviously
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: it starts with him and just his ability. I think
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: his unique ability to extend plays and uh, I think
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: make plays like that outside of the pocket make him really.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Really tough to defend. And then on the defensive.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: Side of the ball, they have a great scheme, players
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: that really fly around, their physical upfront, the backers are
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: really disciplined to do a good job. Got good instincts, Milano,
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: he's a great player. Then there back in their secondary
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: or guys that have played together for a while, great instincts,
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: great ball skills, they're they're good at disguising coverages. You know,
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: they're really smart. They play well together. They've had this
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: system for a long time now. So you see all
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: those things on tape, and you saw I mean two
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: years ago it was the same thing, and uh, the
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: same challenges are here you know today, So they they
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: do a great job that they've that's why they've had
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: a lot of success. They're a really good team on
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: both sides of the ball, and we're just gonna have
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: to execute. And I think that's what it's gonna come
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: down to, offensively and defensively, is what team executes better
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: back to back.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: And you.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean if if that means, if that happens
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: from us winning back to back games, then great, you know,
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: I think that's the that's the main goal. Obviously, it's
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: to win no matter where you're at, obviously, especially over here.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: So I'm not really thinking about that too much, but
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: this would be big. This is a big game obviously,
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: an AFC matchup a team that's playing really good football
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: right now, who's been one of the top teams in
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: the a f.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: C the past few years.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: So we're we're looking forward to getting this opportunity, and uh,
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: we know it's just the next game though. It's all
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: it is is it's the next game on our schedule
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: that we got to go and put our best foot
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: forward to go win it. And it's gonna put us
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: in a good position moving forward, and then we're gonna
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: have to do the same thing next week. So that's
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: all we're thinking about, is just going one to know
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: this week.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: And that's the goal. It's pretty cool. Uh. I don't
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: know if you guys saw out there.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: I mean just the overlooking the golf course and the countryside.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: I mean it's beautiful. So it's really cool being out here.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: The weather was great today. It's a little cooler than
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: it is in Jack so it's nice. It's nice. Uh,
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: nice change up, But no, it's great. It's it's different. Obviously,
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: spend a full week out here and practicing. I haven't
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: done that before. But it's been awesome. It's it's really beautiful.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: The guys are are enjoying it. We're really focused and
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: locked in and you know, we've this space has been
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: good for us.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: It's been it's been good. Okay, let's Jean guy. You
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: said you guys have right now to throw down and
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: particularly our situations and can recurrent. Yeah, oh perfect, I
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: gotta spar right here. I can put it. Yeah.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: It's obviously we're not where we want to be through
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: four games, and we have some issues that we've talked
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: about already.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Obviously it's kind of been the same.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: Issues all season, So just continuing to obviously we're frustrated,
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: but continue to try to find ways to get to
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: get better and improve on them. I think that's all
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: you can release every week. It's different of what the
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: plan is going to be, what teams like to do
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: on they're down. I think the most simple answer I
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: can give you is just we need to execute better.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: It's what we've been saying. But that's still the emphasis
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: in adjusting to maybe different looks. We need to do
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: a better job. And that's including myself. If we get
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: a different you know, whether it's a front coverage or
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: pressure or whatever, we got to be able to adjust
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: to those better in game, and I think that's something
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: we're not doing a great job of right now. So
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: that's on us, is just knowing the ins and outs
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: of everything and how to respond to different looks in
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: different scenarios, and we have to be better as players
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: there and then just execution. It's like I said, but
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: obviously we found a way to win the game. We
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: did a lot of good things.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: You know, we had some we had some drives where
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: we were able to move the ball, get points, hold
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: onto the ball when we could.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: That's an offense last week that we were playing that
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: we knew was gonna use a lot of clock, was
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: going to try to run the ball, was going to
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: try to limit our possessions, and we knew we had
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: to make ours count. And obviously we'd love to score
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: more touchdowns. We need to be better on that sudden
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: change getting the ball in their territory after the interception,
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: we got to score touchdown there, you know, came away
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: with no points. So that's something that of course is
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: a is a something we need to fix. But I
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: think there are some positives that we did and we
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: found a way to win. That's always the goal. So
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: frustration is the right word and that I guess situation.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: But overall, you know, find a way to win. It's
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: hard to win this league.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: So we're happy with with the result, but we got
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: to get better situationally, because you're not always gonna you're
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: always gonna.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Win games where you don't execute those situations.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: So I think, you know, still we're still moving forward
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: and figuring out the best ways to make those improvements.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: And yeah, I do think Cam could potentially help. I
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: think he's a great player and it'll be good to
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: have him back, just in general, I think, and throughout
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: the whole game, he's gonna he's gonna help us. You've
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: become a bit.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: Of a READI if you're in London, the Dagger share
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: the same player club. Have you played any of the
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: pat the season and you have a favor I haven't.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: I haven't.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: I should keep you know, I haven't followed really anything
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: but what we're doing here and uh with with.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Our team honestly.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: But you know, my wife is a former soccer player,
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: so she's she's probably not as in tune, you know, either,
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: but she's kind of keeps up with that a little
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: bit more. But now I don't, I need to. I
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: need to keep up with it a little bit better now.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: I enjoy I enjoy watching it, and I have a lot
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: of respect for for the game. Obviously, it's I know,
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: it's it's huge over here too, so it's always interesting.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: But no, I haven't. I don't have a favorite player necessarily.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: Probably, you know, I usually prefer playing on grass, but
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: the grass over here is a little bit different, you know,
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: especially for the soccer fields. It's a little honestly a
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: little bit slicker. I don't know if that's intentionally just
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: for the ball. I'm sure you know rolls better on it.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: But you know, our grass is different in the States,
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: so I prefer grass in the States. I think here
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: turf is a little better for footing and cutting and
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: all that all that stuff, So probably turf I prefer.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: I think the guys don't slip as much. But either way,
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: I don't think it's imposes a big issue.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: Those are The defense is probably the biggest. The biggest
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: strength is that the defensive line, and you're not there
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: much words take that current league as it sucks. How
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: do you post that? See the offensive Viney will detective
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: for that.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: But yeah, they do a great job obviously the and
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: you know they might have Von back this week too,
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: which adds to that pass rush and just the the
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: skill up front, so they've they've done a great job.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: I think one thing that stands out about them is
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: they play through the whistle every play, So even if
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: their initial pass rush doesn't get home, when you step up,
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: they're retracing, they're folding back in to make the play.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: And they don't stop until the whistle.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: So I think that's what's something that they do a
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: really good job of and why they've been able to get.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: So many sacks.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: Obviously they have a good initial pass rush and a
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: good push and the interior as well, and then like
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: you said, keeping guys fresh. They're able to rotate the
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: full D line and keep guys fresh and keep them
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: rolling and that that's obviously helps them. So I think
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: the biggest thing is just us playing through the whistle,
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: you know, blocking the whole play for myself, understanding they're
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: gonna fold back in, they're gonna do certain things, They're
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: gonna really contain the pocket.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: They do a great job of that.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: And when I do step up, just taking care of
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: the ball, you know, making the right decision, getting it
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: to our guys in space. All those things that are
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: there every week are just more emphasized.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: To make that.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's That's something we've talked about for a long
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: time now, is is being better to start games. So
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: that's something we've definitely emphasized, and I just think it's
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: something different kind of every week of why we're not
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: able to convert a third down to you know, keep
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: the ball or maybe we get across the fifty and
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: then we get a short fourth down and we go
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: for it and turnover on downs. You know, I think
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: there's different things that go into it, but like I said,
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: execution and critical situations third down, we all have to
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: be on the same page.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: We gotta you know, we got to execute.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: We got to communicate, whether that's protections, whether that's certain
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: routes or getting to the right play from my standpoint,
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: or just making the play, making an accurate throw and
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: catching the ball.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: There's all those things have hit us.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: At the wrong time on those situations, and I think
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: it all just comes back to starting the game fast
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: and really executing every snap. Just art the game. Don't
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: wait until you're two three drives in to start doing that.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: So just emphasizing that not you know, not necessarily obviously
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: you kind of understand from an offensive perspective the team
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: that you're playing in their offense and kind of what
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: they're capable of. And I think there's more emphasis and
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: I guess sense of urgency on making our possessions count
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: because that's a very high powered offense that can score
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: at any moment, and there's a lot of offenses like that
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: in the league, but especially this one and the guy
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: you're playing against, that quarterback, and but you know, nothing changes,
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: there's not any necessarily any more edge for us or
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: for myself because we're playing the Bills. I mean, every
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: game is big. I think it is big given that
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: they are another AFC team. You know, this is a
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: team where it's just it's big to try to win
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: these games. Saying like we were playing the Chiefs week two,
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: an a FC team team that's been one of the
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: top teams.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: I think these are these are big games.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: But really, especially this earlier season, every every game is
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: a big game, no matter if.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: It's NFC, a f C, if it's a division game, you're.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: Trying to get as many wins as possible to put
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: you in a good position at the end of the season.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: So and this will do that for sure. And obviously
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: it's an AFC game. It's it's a big one.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: We'll see from playing in Wembley and Psyche to playing
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: in America in homes.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, trying to think what would be the biggest difference,
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: you know, it's just it's like a it's a different energy.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: I think it's it's a really cool experience.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: Obviously, Wimbley is Wimbley is bigger than Tottenham, right, is
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: that correct? So Wimbley is I mean, Wimbley is awesome.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: It's a cool venue and so it's Tattham. I remember
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: playing there two years ago. I was kind of blown
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: away in the facility, just like the locker rooms and
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: all the amenities in Tottenham are really really cool. So
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: I would say just from the fan perspective, it's not
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: a very obvious like home and away crowd. Like I
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: think that's the biggest thing in the States is you
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: play an away game. Every time you're on offense, especially
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: third downs, it's so loud and you got to use
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: silent cadence because the line can't hear you here whether
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: you're on You know, last week grew the home team
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: and they did a great job of making it kind
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: of feel like a home game and putting the on.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: The video board of when to be loud and all that.
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: But still it's like they're using verbal cadence over there.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: But it wouldn't be that way if we were playing
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: in Jacksonville would probably be super loud when they're on offense.
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: So that it gives you kind of an advantage that
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: home field advantage. But here it's you know either team,
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: you can kind of communicate better, you can hear all
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: those things, and it gets loud at kind of different points,
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: but not just for one side.
