  Speaker 1: You you feel like this game being down, that you guys
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: did exactly what you wanted your teammates to do, is
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: not gradual back who touchdown? And then.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, No, I thought it was a great job today
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: of dealing with the adversity. I mean, there's it every game.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: You're gonna have some momentum swings every week. So I
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: thought we did a nice job of you know, they
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: scored early and then we we ended up punting on
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: our first possession, and then they went and got a
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: field goal, and offensively, we just knew we had to
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: settle in and just get some points, get some positive
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: plays going, and we were able to do that and
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: we scored and then I felt like after that our
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: defense really settled in. So that's that's how you play
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: complimentary football, is you know, settle in early like we
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: did in second possession, and then our defense was able
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: to really pin their ears back and once we got
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: controlled of the game. I thought we did a nice
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: job of offensively of keeping those possessions really long. I
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: think we had some I mean I don't know what
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: the stats were, but it felt like we had some
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: really long possessions that you up a lot of clock
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: and we can do better on scoring on all those possessions.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: I know that one turnover on downs down there and
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: you know inside the fifteen or whatever it was was
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: disappointing to us. But you know, I thought we did
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: a nice job of using the clock. We ran the
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: ball great today, so that always helps, Like.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: Relationships off on this tanktical week, advice, I had big
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: game today. What would you say changed from off week
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: to this week?
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: You know just what the whole team you're saying, Yeah,
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: that sports kind of crazy.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: I mean I think that there's we had a great
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: week of prep. There's this season, though, we've had good
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: weeks of practice and not played well on Sunday though, So.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: I won't say that that's always.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: That doesn't always mean that you're going to play really well,
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: but it makes it easier. It's hard to if you
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: don't have a good week of preparation in practice. So
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: I thought we had a good week of preparation. I
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: thought that just the energy of practice was was good.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: Guys were having fun. Obviously, it sucks kind of where
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: we were at, and you know, I haven't won as
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: many games we wanted to win, but you know, we
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: had a lot of fun. We competed, and I think
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: just being around our teammates like that helps, and we
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: picked each other up. And you know, obviously the real
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: fix is being able to go play well on Sunday,
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: which we were able to do today and get a win.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: That's that makes us feel a lot better.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: So they were in basically the cover four quarters look
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: and safeties were low, and that was honestly the look
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: we were we were wanting for that play and we
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: had another option if if that wasn't the coverage and
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: the situation. But Brian did a great job of just
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: running at the corner, keeping outside leverage and just running
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: and then I put it out there let him go
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: make a players a great catch. You know, he's he's
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: he's good at that. He's he's been making a lot
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: of plays for us. So it's it's fun to watch him.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: It's fun to play with him and just to see
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: him get better every week. We gotta keep using them
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: in the NFL. Love the games, school time in Boston.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Else to giving all of your experience player, how hung
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: did you know?
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: Getting them feels great? You know, we're this is my
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: fourth year being over here.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: It's always you know, it's better when you win, that's
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: for sure. I've done both.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: So uh, it's a lot more fun when we went
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: over here and we get to go on the flight
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: home and.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Enjoy it, and that flight back is not very fun
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: after you lose.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: So I'm excited for it for that today and to
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: just be able to to enjoy it and and soak
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: it up for a few hours. But being here in London,
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: you guys are you guys are awesome, welcome us. The
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: fans are amazing. I mean, what a crowd today, And
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: every year it's like that. So we appreciate it and
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: you guys treat us well, and we we enjoyed being
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: over here, and obviously it's pretty unique.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: When I first got.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: Here, it was something that it's just it's just an
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: interesting deal, like never something I never really thought about doing.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: And then being over here every year, it really does
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: feel like almost like a second home and a place
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: where we get to We really do feel more at
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: home here than a lot of other.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Teams do, I'm sure.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: So we appreciate you guys, even though you said you
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: course taking signs also set some Frenchies on man just
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: so happy for him I mean, I've seen we've seen
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: him make those plays, whether it's preseason or even sometimes
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: in the season. He's been close to breaking some of those.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: But for him to do it in a big moment
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: when we really needed it because some more points on
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: the board for us, really flip the game, give us
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: all the momentum, it's huge.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: It's a huge play.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: When your special teams can make plays like that that
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: change the game, that's I mean, it's critical. And just
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: for him, you know, that's a guy that he's a
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: great player, and you know, receiver, we have a lot
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: of great players, and so it's it's been it's been
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: tough for him. Not speaking for him, but just from
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: you know, he maybe hasn't gotten some of the opportunities
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: that he is a great player and he can make
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: a lot of plays for us. So to see him
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: get the opportunity on special teams and to take advantage
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: of it, that just it makes me happy because I
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: know how hard he's worked, and obviously we have a
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: lot of great receivers and you know, the camp he
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: had and all those things, he maybe hasn't gotten to
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: have the impact maybe that you expect going to the season.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: But for him to be able to make that impact
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: on special teams.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Just happy for him.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: He deserves He's a really hard worker and I'm really
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: excited for him.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Compensation. How cool to get today when we're playing off asiation.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, we just gotta I mean it sounds
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: I might maybe it sounds about just stop the bleeding.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: You know, for us is just get on track. We
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: gotta we gotta find some some momentum and we gotta
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: start rattling off some wins. It's just where we're at,
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: and I mean it's always that's always the mindset, but
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: especially where we're at now. You know, we don't have
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: any more time to waste put ourselves in a little
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: bit of a whole. So it is what it is.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: We've been in this situation before. We know we have
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: to do and we know we have some tough teams
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: coming up on our schedule. But that I mean also
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: saying that it's the NFL every week, even if it's
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: a team that isn't looked at as a Super Bowl contender,
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: anybody can beat you any week. I mean, I've experienced that,
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: been on both sides of it. Murky year, you know,
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: we didn't have a great year, and you know we
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: beat the Bills, who were Bowl contender, beat him like
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: nine to six at home. We beat Indy the last
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: week of the year. We were two and fourteen and
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: they had to beat us to go to the playoffs.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: We beat 'em.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: So it's just this league, it's week to week and
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: it it doesn't matter who you're playing. You have to
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: play well, uh to win. So that's what we We
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: understand that and we have to just go do it.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Like what did you see then team visits?
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: Today's ringing the ball and really kind of kept that
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: offens going confused extended drives. Yeah, you know, I think
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: when you can run the ball like we did today,
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: it's those drives are longer cause it's like it's it's
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: four or six eight at a time, and it's not
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: necessarily all the explosives down the field. We had a couple,
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: but it's really just keeping our offense their defense on
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: the field, which is what you want. And for him
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: to be able to just he ran tough.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: Obviously him and Dearness broke some that we were great runs,
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: but just some of the two, three, four five yard
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: runs that those make a difference you know, and just
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: running hard, running through some arm tackles, keeping his head down.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: I thought he did a really nice job. And then
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: obviously when he got his opportunities to score, he did that.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: So just just proud of that guy. He's the same,
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: you know. It just worked hard and it's cool to
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: see him get the benefit from it.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: And he's having a great year. And uh, we we
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: need him to keep playing like that leadership stashion in
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: the last week and do you be like this sort
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: of mini on time when.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I think this was big for our team.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: We needed to win this game and we did. So
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: it for us to to understand the situation our backs
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: are kind of against the wall end or respond respond
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: the white the sorry, respond the right way and get
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: a win. I think that's great for our confidence moving forward.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: But like I said, it's uh, we we got another
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: opponent next week, Green Bay, and we gotta go put it,
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: put everything we can into that one to go win it.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: So it's short lived. The wins and the losses are
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: really short lived in this league. You have to be
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: able to move on.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: Same thing.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: Like I said to you guys last week after a loss,
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: you gotta be able to turn the page and go
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: win the next one. So that's what our minds are on. Obviously,
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: we are gonna enjoy this for a few hours. I
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: mean you have to. You know, it's too hard to
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: win this league. But we're gonna move on pretty quick.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: And you've been in the NFL a few years now.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Your's just done his NFL gen and have to being.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: Through hself most the best desce you could get to,
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: he continues in Enflchia.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: I just told him after the game, you know, he's
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: a great player, and just to just to keep his
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: head down, keep working, just trying to learn something every week.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: You know, don't don't be too hard on yourself. You know,
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: you gotta keep your confidence. You know, he's he's the
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: leader of that team, of that you know organization. Assume
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: he's on the field playing and everybody looks at the
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: quarterback and he's a high high pick, hi tractor guy.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: You know, just keep his confidence.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: I think that's one thing I didn't say all this
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: to him in the short conversation I had, but uh,
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: you know, just that's what I would say is there's
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: gonna be time, it's gonna be tested sometimes it's hard,
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: you know.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: I I've been there. It's it's hard to keep your confidence.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: And when there's when there's things going on around you
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: or you the team's in a tough spot and maybe
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: you're not playing your best as a player, but you
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: just have to keep going to work every day and
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: and keep your head up and lead, lead your teammates.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: I mean that's the biggest thing over on dugs.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: They don't lock up the feeling of the skull, I
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: don't help them be a minium shift anything.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: What message did you get to the guys before you
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: gave the home the next or.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: Just to go score I mean take the game back
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: into our hands, like you said, I mean they they
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: stopped us. They had a big turnover on downs and
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: they went and scored, and we felt like we had
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: to put together a good drive again and we still
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: were in control. I think they went for two and
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: didn't get it, so we were still up two possessions.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: So obviously your thing to go score a touchdown. But
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: the biggest thing, honestly is put together a good drive,
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: get into field goal range and try to at least
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: at least get three or go score. Obviously, if you
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: if you can, but either way, you're just extending your
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: lead and you're using the clock.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: That was in the fourth quarter.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: So for us, and that's what we were able to
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: do today. We didn't have I don't know if we
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: had any three and outs. We were able to keep
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: the clock running. And you know, sometimes that can be
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: a bit boring, but you wanna be and control of
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: games like that and.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: Be able to do that. So I thought it was
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: really really good for us, uh for the middle a
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: portion of this game, basically the second order. And was
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: that the Jaguars team that you had expected from the
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: get go that was at the maximum? You know, did
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: you reach it as close to your potential? And that's
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: second or third word? I don't think so. I mean,
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: I still think that there's some things out there for us.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: I think offensively, you know, you look at the final
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: score and it it looks like we scored a lot
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: of points and we did some great things. We had
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: some great possessions and played clean football for the most part.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: So I am happy with it, and I'm never gonna
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: be upset with the win, but you know, I thought
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: we the turnover on downs was disappointing for.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: US as an offense.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: You know, you wanna be able to really put the
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: game away and go score a touchdown there and and
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: get a yard on fourth and one, and we weren't
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: able to do that. So that's that's one play. And
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: then I think just some of the other possessions. There
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: was a couple little thing and there's a g It's
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: never gonna perfect. There's always be something at every game,
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: but just looking at it, you know, for what it is,
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: we got to take the good end the bad. There
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: were some things we did great, but there was also
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: a couple of plays and communication stuff. You know, I
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: might have missed a thrower two or whatever it is.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: You still have can look at that and get better
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: from it. So you can't just think just because you want,
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: you don't look at the all the bad stuff. You know,
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: you got to really use that. So no, I don't
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: think it's as close as we can to. That's I
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: wouldn't say that's our best football, but it was good
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: enough to win today, and that's what matters.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: So we got to keep finding ways to do it.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: On Sunday,
