00:00 >> Well, I take it, they say, you gotta do this, then I'm gonna do that.
00:05 And I'm not gonna really, I guess, worry about any other scenarios.
00:09 We have a game, I know that.
00:11 This Saturday against the Ravens.
00:12 So my mindset is to win in that game.
00:15 What happens after that, I mean, is out of our control.
00:17 We can't control anything other than what we got in front of us, and
00:20 that's the Ravens, and that's what all of us know.
00:22 That's what all of us been saying, too.
00:24 Of course, there's a lot of talk about the Bills and the Dolphins or
00:29 the Jaguar Titans, I think it is.
00:30 Yeah, of course, there's talk about that, but what's in front of us is the Ravens.
00:34 And I think just us communicating that and
00:36 knowing that that's the only thing we can control right now.
00:39 All the other stuff is just secondary.
00:41 If some happens, then it happens.
00:43 If it don't, it don't.
00:44 Just figure out what's, just handle what's in front of you right now.
00:48 Be where your feet are.
00:49 >> After the last couple games,
00:50 Mike Teese said that the mentality was scared money don't make money,
00:54 especially on the offensive side of the ball.
00:55 How are you guys embracing that?
00:59 >> Wait, that's what he said, about last week or this week?
01:00 >> Both weeks, the last two weeks.
01:02 Just with the play calls, with the mentality,
01:04 not being super conservative in the offense.
01:07 >> Yeah, exactly, that's what, I mean, there's a lot more to that than what he said.
01:11 But yeah, there's a lot more to that than what he said.
01:15 But he's right, we have to be aggressive.
01:20 We have to be aggressive against these teams.
01:24 They wanna play certain defenses to us, expecting something, like a run or
01:28 something, you go through a deep shot.
01:29 It's part of being aggressive.
01:32 I think actually, I don't know who that was against, but
01:36 we threw it on third and two or something like that.
01:39 And everyone was going crazy off of it.
01:41 But it's like, that's the part of being aggressive.
01:43 A lot of teams throw on third and two on these deep shots and
01:46 you either make it or you don't.
01:47 There's times when we did and there's times that we didn't.
01:49 But this is part of being aggressive, it's part of the sport.
01:52 So I forgot what team that was against.
01:54 >> How much fun is it to be part of an offense that is being aggressive and
01:57 is taking those shots in moments like that?
02:00 >> How what?
02:00 >> How much fun is it to be a part of an offense that's being aggressive and
02:03 taking those shots?
02:04 >> I don't know, every team does that though.
02:08 It's not just us.
02:10 I've done that in college, I've done that everywhere.
02:12 I've seen it every week on Sundays, Saturdays, or a primetime game.
02:16 That's just everywhere.
02:17 It's just part of, it's chess.
02:19 This is chess.
02:20 People think that you're gonna do something on obvious downs and
02:23 you're throwing a deep shot for the money ball.
02:25 And that's just part of the football, you're playing chess.
02:29 You always wanna be ahead, you always wanna think two steps ahead of people.
02:32 And that's one of the situations, you always wanna be aggressive.
