  Speaker 1: Could you talk a little bit about even despite the
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: fumbles that Trevor did have today, could you talk about
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: about his toughness and you know, getting some really clutched
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: sideline throws to Ridley as well.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Trevor played extremely tough today and physical and you
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: know he's he's done that all season, he's done that before.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: Obviously a great leader that way. Uh, you know, and
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: he does, you know, he does what it takes, you know,
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: to to win that down. And you know he had
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: to use his legs today. He played you know, he
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: played physical as well. It's a couple of couple of
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: weeks in a row.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: I saw you pumping the fist to the crowd. I
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: was assuming it was somebody you knew.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: And my friends that were sitting up there, the only
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: only five people I had here.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: After a game. I just I just wanted to did
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: this this game, this opponent.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: You don't follow me very much, then extra win. I
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: think that you know, listen, these games are emotional, man,
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: They're hard fought. Both teams are are are you know, straining.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: The players are straining, Guys are putting their bodies on
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: the line, and coaches, you know, and the whole thing.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: And obviously we're not out there playing, but we're part
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: of it, you know, and we feel it and we
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: feel the emotion, and it's okay to let your emotion
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: and your you know, everything show every now and then.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: And I know I try to keep things in too much,
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: but maybe I should show that emotion a little bit more.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: But I was very proud of our guys the way
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: they hung in there, you know, for sixty sixty minutes
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: in this football game. So I'll fis pump after every
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: one of those.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Thirty two yard completion on third down and six from Trevor.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: When he threw the ball up there, Cam wasn't there.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: The pressure was coming, and that seems as big a
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: play as any in the entire panic.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: You know, it's it's again, It's it's the offense, it's Trevor,
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: it's Cow, it's everybody being on the same page. It's
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: our offensive staff preparing our guys for situations like that,
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: Mike McCoy having Trevor ready in those situations to make
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: that call, you know, to see the blitz to audible
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: the out, great throw, great catch. You know, we needed
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: it to really, you know, maybe not ice the game,
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: but at least at least help us win this football game.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: It seemed from about six minutes left in the second
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: quarters that the Bills were a surgeon, that they were
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: grabbing momentum previous check where teams wouldn't have held it all.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: What happened today? What was the mindset that that kept
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: them in it? And they haven't answered for everything.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: I think I think it's it's just the credit to
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: the players. Defense has the offenses back, offense has the
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: defensive back, special teams both and I just think that
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: that's that's where that's where, you know, the difference was
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: with the players and you know, offensive struggles in the
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: second quarter, we missed opportunities to kick some field goals,
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: we took points off the board, which we can't do.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: But defense went out there and and you know, held
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: them to seven points in the first half and and
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: really did an outstanding job. And again, you know, credit
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: credit the players. They really understood this type of game.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: We as a team, I think are figuring out, you
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: know that that we're very capable of winning these types
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: of games, and this is a this is a step
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: in that direction.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Organization to come over here, have this historic trip and
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: come out of this with two victories and a lot
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: of ways change your early season. Where this where this
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: year might go.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: I think it's big. It's big for our organization. It's big.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: H You know, we came over here one and two
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: and we're going back three and two and and But again, listen,
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: it's two ball games, it's one ball game, whatever it
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: might be. You know, we're five yen. We We've got
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: plenty of football ahead of us, a lot of work
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: ahead of us. We got this travel kind of a
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: short week, you know, but it is it's great to
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: come over here because we have a lot of fans here,
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: the organization, our are, our owner, mister Kahn. Obviously we
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: all enjoyed coming here. We spent ten ten days here,
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: uh two great places, the Grove and Hanbury Manor. We're
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: outstanding for us and and just proud of our our
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: entire organization, our our team for how we handled it.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: The injuries Jones, they I don't know they specifically yet.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: I think it's still the same injury he had from
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: a couple weeks ago. So we'll see where he's at.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: About Barker little, I believe just a knee at this point,
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: but I don't have any further updates until probably we
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: get back to the States and and do some more
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: investigation there. Cam was an elbow. I think he's gonna
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: be fine as we go. Calvin obviously got hit the
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: one time in the head. He he, you know, did that,
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: went through the whole protocol on the sideline, was checked
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: out clear and went back in the game. So and
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: and Trevor was just cramping late in the game. We
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: had a couple of that got warm down there on
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: that turf and everything. So other than that, I think
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: we came out okay.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Then was last week spoke about a mixed crowd.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: Did it feel a lot more like a natural road game?
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: This week?
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: One hundred percent. Bill's Mafia was full effect today. They
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: had a great, great fan base. It did feel like
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: a road game for us. And you know, our guys
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: handled the crowd noise extremely well. We had to mix
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: up some of our cadences, go between normal vocal cadences
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: and silent cadences throughout the game. And again guys handled
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: that well. On the beafon the pass to call late
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter, dying bolt, if that was quite
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: a half decision. What was your take on that late
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: in the game that Yeah, you know, it's hard for
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: me to express any opinion right now until I really
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: look at the film, look at the TV copy, and
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: then I can make a better assessment of that. Obviously,
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: you know it's a fag. It's a foul during the game,
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: and you know we've got to be more aware of
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: that obviously and coach that a little bit better. But
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: until I really evaluate those, it's hard to make a
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: comment at this time.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Been talking about the offense, and I've noticed for your
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: art today you need to talk about defense. If it
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: was a thirty five points three games in a row,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: it's a really impressive you to keep it to twenty
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: and how impressed I know you've really touched upon it.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Great view to elaborators. I've been your defense played outstanding today.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I meant in our defense two weeks in
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: a row, my hat's off. Mike McCoy, Mike mc caldwell,
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: Mike Caldwell and the staff just the way they've prepared
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: our players, the way the players have embraced the game plans,
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: the way they practiced during the week and then and
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: then go out and play. You know, the physical style
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: that they're capable of playing. It's just really things are
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: beginning to kind of gel for them, you know, as
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: a unit and creating takeaways obviously, and you know, again
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: this is two weeks in a row. They did it
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: last week in Atlanta, kind of keeping the offense in
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: the game, and then again today keeping the offense sort
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: of in the game. Just a great performance by our defense.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: At the beginning seemed pretty flat. Do you feel like
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: you've had a little bit of an advantage having been
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: here for the week prior.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: It's hard to speak for them, obviously, but I know,
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: I know our guys we're in, we're in. We're in,
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: you know, really good, really good position health wise. Uh,
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: they felt energetic and they felt good to be here.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: Ask me that question. In seven days after we go back.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: It's a challenge. That's the next challenge for us, right
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: with the time change going back and all that. But
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: I did feel like our guys were ready to go,
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: you know, and you know, the ten days over here
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: were good for us.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Play in two go to the United States, and that
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: it's better for.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: I think it. I think it's I think it's relatively
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: safe to say that that we'll probably each year, probably
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: play two games over here. I don't know that. I
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: don't have a crystal ball. I hope the rest of
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: the league, you know, plays two games over here at
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: some point.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: But you know, again, it was good for us and
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: it was good to get out of Jacksonville at that time.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: We needed to I think bond a little bit as
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: a football team. And we've done that, and now we
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: get to go back with two wins. And and you know,
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: we got a big AFC South matchup next week.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: I could you choose to play the game next week
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: because they could have a bide week.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: But yeah, you know, it's we're still so early in
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: the season after five games to take the buy this early,
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: and and it's a long season, a lot of a
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: lot of football left, and so I feel like, if
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: you know, if you can push, if you can push
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: your buy towards the middle of the year, you know,
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: it might benefit you. But I'll do I'll do my part,
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: you know, to help our team recover this week coming up,
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: and but yet still making sure that they're prepared mentally
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: h for the Colts next weekend. We have ten days.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: How has that helped you bund more as a team.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: You know, I think we're we're in the hotel together.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: You know, we're we're seeing each other down the hallways,
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: we're walking to practice together. The players are together, they're
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: going to dinners during the night, they're hanging out during
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: the week. You know, coaches are doing the same thing.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: It's just it just keeps guys closer, right, and and
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: you kind of get to know people a little bit
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: more and and you know, so that's that's positive, right,
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: that's positive when when you can do that, and I
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: think courage the players to to you know, be around
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: each other as much as possible, go grab dinner or
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: you know, if they wanted to go swimming, to go
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: swimming or whatever, it might be at the hotel, and
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: you know, it just, uh, it keeps them close and
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: and you know that's what we're gonna need, you know
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: as the season progresses. Thank you, guys,
