  Speaker 1: Javis, Thanks for doing this, man.
• 0:01
  Speaker 2: Hope you guys are staying safe.
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Just you know, knowing that this is the first AC
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: South game of the year. I mean, I know every
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: single game in the NFL is important. How much more
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: up do you guys get for this game? No, and
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: that's your chance to kind of make a statement in
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: the division.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: I feel like everyone should be dulled, everyone should be
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: locked in.
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: I just understand that this is most the point game
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: of the season because of the Devision game and also
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: because of what we have put, what we have displayed
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: throughout the season. Hopefully everyone should attack this with a
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: little more urgency is understanding. All we have is taking understanding.
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: That is a chance opportunity to go want and know
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: in a division.
• 0:40
  Speaker 4: All right, go ahead, Mia and then Demetrius.
• 0:43
  Speaker 5: Hey, Travis, I know you told me after the Browns
• 0:47
  Speaker 5: loss that people had to find that fire inside of them.
• 0:51
  Speaker 5: Have you felt people step up and find that that
• 0:54
  Speaker 5: fire or that anger to try to fuel them over
• 0:57
  Speaker 5: the last week and a.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: Half, I feel like I feel like today practice went
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: really well.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: I feel like today we had a lot of energy.
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: I feel like guys getting back to the reason of
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: why they started playing a game of football. I don't
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: think nobody had no fire Monday night. We always fireless,
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: you know. But I feel like we've been getting back
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: to the reason why we started playing the game, the
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: reason why we all got into this, and just understanding
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: that we all we got and that if we want
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: to get through this, we have to stick together.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: Like no one else has come and save us. We
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: have to save ourselves.
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: So I feel like everyone's been kind of tapping too,
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: just the kid, the person to understanding that this is
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: a dream, we all long for this. We're in the
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: NFL like we all wish to be here. So while
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: we're here, let's not piss away opportunities because we worked
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: so hard for only seventeen of these.
• 1:49
  Speaker 5: Of the year and kind of building off of that
• 1:51
  Speaker 5: by having that mindset, Does that almost make it easier
• 1:56
  Speaker 5: to play loose when you say I have to play
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: for the love of the game and maybe not I
• 2:01
  Speaker 5: need to be operating within this tight box of structure.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: Uh, yeah, most definitely.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: I feel like whenever you're having fun, that's whenever you're
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: playing loose, whenever you're out there, and I feel like
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: having fun and playing loose goes with.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: Your preparation throughout the week.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: Whenever you can go out there and just react and
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: not think on the field, that's whenever you have in
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: your best place, whenever you're playing your best. When you're
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: going out there and you just in your head too much,
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: you're thinking, you're not really reacting, you're trying to just
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: you're kind of playing tie. You're not playing loose, You're
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: not letting things happen. We kind of start trying to
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: force things. You start trying to maybe overcompensate, trying to
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: make something happen. When we gotta let the game come
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: to us and be ready for the opportunities whenever they come.
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: All right, go ahead, Demetrius and then d Rock, Hey, Travis,
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: thanks for doing this. Just you guys have had some
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: success running the football. How you know, what do you
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: guys have to do to sort of keep that going
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: in and be able to be consistent with it. It seems
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: like there's some walls where you can't run or or
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: maybe there's some interruptions. What do you have to do
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: to sort of get that role in.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's the NFL. You have to understand. They
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: have great defensive fronts. We just have to stick with it.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: I feel like we have to be okay with taking
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: four yards in the cloud of dust. You know, not
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: everyone is going to be explosive run. This is the NFL.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: Those guys get played really well to do their jobs
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: at a high level.
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: We just have to kind of just stick with it
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: and and not deter from it and understand that, uh,
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: the good players want to come with the bad players
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: the one yards. But as long as we just kind
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: of be efficient and get four yards more than more
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: than the tackle for losses, I think would be really great.
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: And what sort of the challenge this week going up
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: against Houston? You guys have played them before obviously, but
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: they have a couple of new players on the defensive line.
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: Just what's the challenge there?
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: Oh?
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: The ends? Fel I feel like I feel like it's
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: been a real tough year for us.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: Just we've been bounding the ends weekend and week out,
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: and this week is no different. We have to just
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: kind of contain those guys, not let them be gain wreckers,
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: and keep our eyes on them the whole time.
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: Thank you, Travis.
• 4:12
  Speaker 6: Hey, Travis was Doug's message this week to you guys. Partly, Hey,
• 4:17
  Speaker 6: you know it's time to stop talking and start playing
• 4:20
  Speaker 6: good football and start winning.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: Yes, sir, you get it right on the head.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: I feel like I feel like we we It is
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: also all the words that we can possibly use, you know,
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: I feel like at this point it's action over words,
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: and uh, just just go out there and let our
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: play talk for us.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: You know, I feel like we've kind of been.
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: Yapping off by the mouth, but we haven't been putting
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: our actions haven't been shown what we've been saying. So
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: we have to just go out there show show who
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: we are and let and let our play speak for us.
• 4:48
  Speaker 6: Thank you, Travis. You mentioned earlier about the Fireless being
• 4:54
  Speaker 6: fireless and not having any fire How does that happen?
• 4:57
  Speaker 6: For this team was always into playing on Monday night football.
• 5:02
  Speaker 6: Give any can you put your finger on on how
• 5:04
  Speaker 6: that even happened?
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: Oh no, not at all. I don't feel like it
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: was actually fireless.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: Uh. We we just got we just got our buzzs whip.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: I mean, at the end of the day, we didn't
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: show up to perform in the score. It was what
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: it was. It was a tough game of tough loss,
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: but we have to bounce back from it. And uh
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: and and and if that didn't do anything for us
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: that day, I feel like it definitely lit a fire
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: up in everybody. So I don't see why anyone would
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: be fireless going into this game, because we shouldn't have
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: been fireless then, you know, but you know the outcomes,
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: what the outcome was, and can't.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: Go back and change it. All we could do is
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: live and go poor with it.
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: And I feel like that definitely should be a motivation
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: for everybody to go out there and play to the
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: best ability. Just knowing that it was a Monday night game,
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: primetime game, everybody watching us, and I know my mom, my,
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: grandma's they was tuned in, and just everybody just wants
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: to see us be who we are.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: You know. I feel like we won't have to go
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: out there and do any magic, anything's crazy. Just go
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: out there and be ourselves.
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: Just have confidence in ourselves, have confidence in our scheme,
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: and just love upon each other while we're out there,
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: and just fight for sixty minutes and see what the
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: outcome can be.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: All Right, Thanks Travis, I thank you. Hope everyone's safe
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: in the weather,
