00:00 >> And what are your emotions on going back to Denver?
00:03 >> Gotta go win a football game.
00:04 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:07 >> How did they treat you there?
00:08 >> Great.
00:10 >> Then do you think Peyton regrets what he said?
00:14 >> I don't know, ask him.
00:17 >> Did you feel like you grew as a play caller,
00:19 James, just based on the experience you had last year in Denver,
00:21 and then coming here in this new situation?
00:23 How much do you feel like you've grown since last year?
00:25 >> That's a great question.
00:26 I think I learned something every single game.
00:27 I think experience is so critical whenever you're calling plays for
00:31 situations, for the guys that you're calling the plays for.
00:35 Kind of getting a feel for the running backs, the tight ends,
00:37 the wide receivers, the offensive line, how you can help them.
00:40 As a coach, we don't get to play, but
00:43 you wanna continually put them in good spots, so you always wanna feel that way.
00:48 And I think that was a really good feeling during that game,
00:51 to feel the guys really get into a rhythm,
00:52 cuz that's what you're trying to accomplish.
00:54 So I think I grew a lot this entire season up to this point just for this team.
00:59 >> When a defense gives up 70 points, which happens so rarely,
01:01 how much can you take from that game, and
01:03 how much does it feel like to some degree it's an aberration?
01:05 >> I mean, one of the best players on their team is Justin Simmons.
01:10 I know him being out was definitely something that kind of triggered that.
01:14 But I mean, I thought Miami had a great game plan versus them.
01:17 And so you always kind of look at some of those things and
01:20 see what you can pull from it.
01:21 But every game is a different challenge, and
01:24 every defense is gonna play you a little bit different.
01:27 And might not do the exact same thing, so
01:29 you have to be ready for how you think they're gonna play you.
01:32 Miami's got some pretty unique skill players over there, so
01:35 they did some different things.
