 Sam, it's much easier to do the spot three wins in a row rather than, you know, the losses. Am I right? That's right. Yeah. It's a little bit better feeling coming on the show, but no, it's uh, it was just a really good team win and you know, whenever I come on the show and I'm saying that, uh, we're always, we're always in a good spot. You have a new favorite number by any chance? Uh, 34 is up there. I mean, he, uh, Brian Poole made a play for us too with that big shit. So, um, I don't know, man, it's, it's up there now. All right. So let me ask you this, and this is the one that everybody was taught. You had such a great game. You had a first down if you ran, there was nothing but green space in front of you. Then you threw that perfect like lob pass to Robbie. Did you see the run in front of you? Or did you not see it and just, and you went to Robbie? Uh, I mean, I definitely saw it, uh, but I, uh, yeah, I just, you know, I felt we're feeling good. I mean, we're kind of, we're rolling. We found a rhythm and, uh, obviously I forced that one in there a little bit. Um, you know, I think, you know, hindsight, um, I mean, it was awesome. You know, Robbie made a really good play and, but those aren't the types of plays you want to, you want to make and break your career on. So, you know, hopefully next time I'll just be able to run for first down and get down. So it's, it's a weekly question, but I still think it's, it's worth asking what is the turnaround? What, what, after that Miami loss, when you're down in the Doms, it looks like the season's over, you know, what turned around? What, what, what was the moment that built the confidence? Well, it's the same thing. I mean, just, I think our guys are just doing, you know, a really good job of coming to work every single day. And, you know, when you put really good work in and you know, you get really good results, um, coming out. So it's just, it's just a matter of continuing to put really good work in throughout the week and, um, executing and playing well on Sundays. You know what I found interesting, and I mentioned this earlier in the show, Sam, after the games, nobody's talking it up. Nobody's talking big, big things. Nobody's like strutting around. It just, I read somewhere today that, that Adam has told you guys react as if it's a loss. Is that something that he's articulated, or is this team all about business? Let's just go to the next one. Yeah. I mean, this team's all about business. I think, um, because you can't get to it out of yourself, especially, um, in the NFL, you know, it's, it's a tough league. And, you know, you want to take it one game at a time. And when you do that, when you really take it one, one day at a time, um, you know, you start stacking wins. It's a good feeling. And no one wants that good feeling to go away. So we're just going to continue to the same thing. Stay process oriented, um, process driven, and we'll continue to, you know, stack good days on top of each other and hopefully stack wins too. You know, you had your coaches back when a lot of other people around New York did not. And I'm not saying that was your intent because you've, you just believed in them. It wasn't necessarily a vote of confidence. It was just that you believed in your coach, but do you look back at that now and like just feel good about the way you're playing that, that you're doing it for your coach that you kind of vindicate the statement you made when there weren't a lot of people standing up for him? I mean, we knew it in the building, you know, how I'll go to coach Adam Gasez and, um, all that. So in the building it was, you know, we were, we were super confident in him and, you know, the entire coaching staff and we're confident in our ability to go out there and win games. So, um, you know, our confidence, even from the start of the season hasn't wavered at all. You know, we just got to continue, like I said, to stay process driven and keep taking it one week at a time. Sam, I got to ask you though. I mean, we're all real here. One in seven. You had confidence. Really? Did you really? Yeah. 100%. I think just, I mean, with the guys that we have in the locker room and, you know, the, and I keep saying it, but it's true, man. The amount of work that we put in every single week and, you know, just, I don't know, just how focused we are every single week. You know, good results are going to come out of that eventually. And I think our whole team was confident in that. Amazing. So do you play the game? Boy, if I didn't get mono, boy, if we didn't blow that 16 point lead at the half to Buffalo, I mean, do you, do you allow yourself to play that game? The what ifs, or are you just completely focused on Cincinnati and moving forward? Yeah, I think, you know, you don't want to get stuck playing that game. Uh, but you know, you can sit there and think about it all you want. But for us, it's, it really is just one week at a time. And that's how we're going to keep looking at it. Now, when, you know, we have Adam on on Tuesday and after, you know, one of the games you, I think it was after the first game of the three, you said, you know, we can win out. And he kind of told you, you know, and relax. And I mean, have you walked up to him and said, hey, relax this, I'm with 3 and 0 now? No, I haven't. I haven't. And, you know, we look up and we're four and seven. So we still got a long way to go. At the same time, just again, you just got to come to work every small day. And if we just continue to put good days together, um, you know, we'll be, we'll be good. How much of a revelation has Ryan Griffin been, you know, right before the game, it's announced that he signed a three year contract. So he's going to be here with you. You guys got him right on the eve of the opener. And here he is. He's going to be here for the next three years. Did you see that when you first got him? Yeah. I mean, I knew, you know, the type of person he was right when he got in. I mean, he works just as hard as anyone. He's the hardest worker in the building. You know, he's, he's a great person. And he's good at football. So those, all those things combined, you got to, you got a really good teammate and really good football player. You getting used to playing in this kind of weather? Yeah, I love it. Oh, you love it. I love it. I love the, the late season when I get, when it starts getting cold. Um, yeah, I don't know what it is, but you know, I'm starting to get really used to it. Now, really, Sam, are you okay? I mean, it's going to get like 20 degrees here. You're going to be playing that kind of weather and you're from California. Yeah, guys, we're good. I mean, I got, I got thermal gear on. I got heated benches on the sideline. You know, I'm just out there playing the game I love, so I can't complain about anything. And let's face it, if the field's on fire, if you're winning the game, you're good with it. That's right. 100%. How good did you feel when you avoided the safety, ended up throwing a nice little, a nice little ball to love you on, who ends up picking up the first down instead? Yeah, I mean, it was, you know, I knew, I knew where to go with the ball. And you know, just had to step up, keep two hands on it. Really, drill work, you know, shout out to Dallilagans for that one. You know, keeping two hands pushing up in the pocket and, you know, find Levy on on my check done. Did you guys have a concert? It seemed like Gates really put it emphasis on getting Bell involved early. Is that what happened? Because you guys did get him involved early. Um, yeah, I think we'll whatever, whenever we have, you know, Levy on such a good player, such a really a great player. So whenever we can get him touches, we do that. But, you know, at the same time, we, you know, we use him in so many different ways. And I feel like that just keeps defenses off balance. You purposely throwing at Jamal Adams on the sidelines? Yeah. Yeah, I, you know, he said something to me pregame night in life. So I just decided that we're allowed. Now, one of the guys told the announcers that I think it was Levy who told them, and they said the story on the air that you're an unbelievable trash talker. I don't get that from you on the air. Or do you talk trash on the field? Every now and then when the time is right. Wow. Give us an example. You really cover up beautifully on the air. Give us an example. I mean, I don't know. It's, uh, it's you know, someone says something to me first. I'm never going to, you know, I'm never going to say anything, you know, back to someone because I feel like karma catches up with everyone. So, um, but if someone says something, uh, you know, bad about me, then, and especially for women, you know, for women, you know, the game's going in our direction, then, you know, I'm good for, uh, I'm good for a line every, every now and then. So you could say something. I mean, I can't picture you saying it, because you're slinging Sam in my book, but you would tell somebody about his mom if he said something about your mom? I don't know if I go that far. I don't know if I go that far, but, uh, you know, someone said something like that to me, then I'd probably have something good to say back. All right, final thing. Can you win out, Sam? Is the team ready to win out? No, we're just going to keep, keep taking it one week at a time. And I think if we do that, um, anything's possible, but, you know, it's just, it's really taking it one week at a time and really one day at a time, like I said before. Good stuff. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours and good luck this weekend. Yeah, happy Thanksgiving guys. Thanks, man. Congrats, Sam.
