00:00This is going to be the first time Drake faces a team for the second time.
00:04Essentially, he didn't play any of the divisional teams fully in both games.
00:08What goes into maybe getting him ready for that challenge?
00:10What makes this unique from a game planning perspective, from a quarterback perspective,
00:14the first time facing a team a second time?
00:17Yeah, I mean, the old adage is it's hard to beat a team twice, right?
00:20Because they know the ins and outs of what you do.
00:22They've played against you.
00:23They have the film to watch.
00:24They've actually been out on the field.
00:26They've heard your cadence, all of those things.
00:28I kind of like the fact that they're coming off the bye and they're playing Buffalo.
00:32They're not playing the Dolphins.
00:33They're not playing the Jets.
00:34They're not playing the Ravens.
00:35They're playing Buffalo in a hat and t-shirt game with that on the line.
00:38And I think it really lights a fire under everyone else.
00:41And another thing that, Josh, we talked about is the bye week.
00:45What goes into a bye week?
00:46And I would say, having been in those meetings, no one does a better job at self-scouting
00:51than Josh McDaniels and his staff.
00:53What do we do really well?
00:55Let's keep doing that.
00:56How do we dress it up so it doesn't look like what it's looked like?
00:58What are we doing okay that we feel like we can improve on?
01:01And how do we get those plays going?
01:03And then what are we doing not so well that maybe it's just time to scrap?
01:07You know, put it off till next year.
01:08We're doing enough good things.
01:09We don't really don't need these schemes or these past concepts.
01:12Let's just put those on the back burner.
01:14And the one thing that I think Josh will take from his time coaching under Bill, and Bill
01:19would always say this, is if you can add a little wrinkle, a little maybe trick play,
01:24a little something at the end of the year that the opposing team hasn't seen, that could
01:29be the difference in winning a playoff game, which ultimately this is going to be a playoff
01:33like atmosphere, right?
01:34So I love the fact that they're coming in.
01:36This has got to be the most meaningful regular season game in Gillette in at least five years,
01:42right?
01:42Maybe you would throw Brady coming back with the Buccaneers, you know, but that was for
01:46a different reason.
01:47It wasn't, you know, to win the AFC title.
01:49This is going back to Tom's last year playing quarterback here, how meaningful those games
01:54were.
01:55And so I'm excited to see the atmosphere on Sunday down at Gillette.
