00:00How we doing?
00:02Doing great.
00:16It's been awesome.
00:18Putting guys in spots where they feel like they can go
00:20have the opportunity to go win
00:22and our guys have been
00:24winning and
00:26I'm just proud of how
00:28our guys have been executing it.
00:34I don't know about
00:36that. I think in those critical
00:38situations, really what Joe's
00:40trying to do is just call our best plays.
00:42Whether it's a third
00:44down and third and fourth and five,
00:46whatever's next up on our sheet is what he's calling
00:48because that's what we feel comfortable and
00:50confident in.
00:59Well, still a lot to play for.
01:01We know as a team that we basically have to
01:03win out to have any chance at the one seed.
01:05Obviously, we don't control
01:07our own destiny there, but
01:09our approach is the same.
01:111-0 each week.
01:20Say that one more time. I'm sorry.
01:28Yeah, I think just consistently staying
01:30with what's got us here.
01:32Guys making sure we're
01:34still in the training room, still in the film room,
01:36not trying to do anything different
01:38throughout the week for good or
01:40for worse, to be honest.
01:44Just making sure, again, we've got to walk through
01:46today, so that's helping guys
01:48stay healthy and
01:50stay fresh and that's what we've got to
01:52continue to do throughout these last three weeks heading
01:54into the playoffs and make sure our
01:56team on the field is as fresh as possible.
02:10I don't think so.
02:12I'm just
02:14playing this game since the same game
02:16that I've been playing since I was a little kid.
02:18That's kind of what it comes down to, just having
02:20fun with it and making sure
02:22one, I'm making good decisions with the football and
02:24I want our team to make plays, but
02:26two, it's
02:28fun. What I get to do is really, really fun
02:30and I want to have as much fun with it as possible.
02:34I guess the winning
02:36aspect of it is the most fun part and when you're
02:38winning, you're afforded
02:40to do some more fun
02:42things on the football field.
02:48It was instinctual, just kind of
02:50as I moved to the pocket,
02:52I kind of got a hand on the
02:54right side of my body and the ball. I just didn't feel like I was
02:56going to be able to grab it with my right hand.
02:58I saw Dalton by himself, so I just
03:00flung it out there. Unfortunately,
03:02I got called back. It's not going to count.
03:04It didn't count, but
03:06we move on.
03:08...
03:10...
03:12...
03:14...
03:16...
03:18...
03:20I think so.
03:22In terms of ball placement,
03:24especially these last few weeks,
03:26making sure that I'm staying consistent with
03:30my mechanics.
03:32I'm sorry, guys.
03:34This is a serious business.
03:36I know, right?
03:38We get to have fun.
03:40I don't know.
03:4275, I guess, but
03:44we're having fun.
03:46We get to have fun here. This is what it's all about.
03:48But yeah, just making sure I'm
03:50staying up to date with my mechanics,
03:52my footwork throughout the game
03:54and throughout the year.
03:56Your footwork can get off base.
03:58You can take three
04:00instead of five and just making sure that I'm staying
04:02on top of those little things.
04:04I've got a good help with Joe in the quarterback room,
04:06making sure I'm staying on top of it.
04:08...
04:10...
04:12...
04:14...
04:16...
04:18...
04:20...
04:22...
04:24...
04:26I would say
04:28yes for the fact that
04:30we have a playoff spot locked up.
04:32We didn't have to wait until one of the final weeks to do it.
04:36But again, I just think
04:38throughout my time I've been here
04:40having fun, making sure
04:42I'm coming to this building, having a smile
04:44on my face when everybody sees me.
04:46I'm making sure I say hello and
04:48dap them up and
04:50let them know how much I love being here.
04:52I think it is infectious. I think it's something that
04:54can spread throughout the team.
04:56But at the same time,
04:58when I'm not smiling it's because
05:00something's not right and guys understand
05:02that too so they can lock in.
05:04It just takes
05:06quote-unquote reps
05:08of being in this building and making sure
05:10we're going through and doing the little things the right way
05:12and when things are up to par
05:14I understand that and
05:16guys on the team can tell that too based on
05:18my face. It's just being around
05:20the guys as much as possible I think helps.
05:22...
05:24...
05:26I think
05:28it's just one of the confidence in
05:30myself.
05:32Again, I'm in a
05:34spot in my career and my life where
05:36it's the best I've ever felt.
05:38...
05:40And again, just making sure that I'm
05:42being me and only me.
05:44I think that's the only thing I ever want to be and I think that's
05:46one of the main things of being
05:48a leader is making sure that you know who you are
05:50and I think
05:52that's a very obvious thing when guys can see
05:54that and they can tell
05:56when you're not trying to be you and I think
05:58being around the guys
06:00and having a lot of the
06:02veteran leadership that we have here. They know
06:04who I am. These rookies when they come in here
06:06they know who I am and that's just
06:08because I am who I am
06:10and that's all I try to be.
06:12...
06:14It's been nothing but
06:16spectacular.
06:18He's been awesome
06:20running the ball extremely hard out of the backfield
06:22he's making plays
06:24he's blocking, you know, you watch him
06:26go run and pick
06:28people up off the ground, pick up linemen
06:30he's celebrating the end zone with the guys
06:32and you guys know when James
06:34first got here he was a tough cookie to crack
06:36you know, didn't want to talk a lot
06:38but he's having fun out there
06:40he's enjoying the guys that he's with
06:42and he's
06:44a complete football player.
06:46...
06:48New England have been the top dog for almost two decades
06:50in this division and recently
06:52because of you and the guys in this locker room
06:54that's changed. Does that hold
06:56any significance to you just to have
06:58that success and now that knowing that the
07:00division for the last five years has ran
07:02through Buffalo?
07:04You're giving yourself
07:06opportunities to win the Super Bowl and I think
07:08that's the only thing that winning a division does
07:10guarantees you a home
07:12game and gives you a shot at the dance
07:14and we haven't gotten there yet
07:16so that's the only thing
07:18that we're focused on. We're not focused on
07:20so much as the division wins and titles
07:22and this and that. We gotta go win the big one.
07:24...
