 What's up, Aaron? With the way you guys have been winning these games, with 23 points collectively, the margin of victory, what is it about you guys that makes you able to win these close games? And why is it always so ugly? I would say probably because that's what we built our for. Being able to last four quarters, where I'm down from the first to the end, from the beginning to the end. We're going to play with the same intensity, same mindset the whole time when you're never going to fold. And so throughout the game, I feel that we should wear them down over time. That's how we get it done. Chris Harris. Hey, Aaron. I'm curious, how often in his life do you think Derrick Henry has gotten picked up and carried anywhere? And if you can just speak to that specific play where you guys carried him across to get the first down and how that aids the mentality of what you're doing. I don't think Derrick Henry first out there being picked up too many times. And secondly, just that play itself, that was an amazing play. And that was just a direct reflection of who we are. And so we built our effort and finish. And so that play there, that was complete, straight effort. Top to bottom, bottom to top, that was just straight effort. And that was a great play. Just a direct reflection of who we are. I'm curious, did Derrick say anything to you guys after that? Like, holy god, you guys picked me up in care. Anything? It wasn't no words. It was just the energy that we felt. Like, we just, as you see in that play, like, we just turned it up, like, it was just that juice, that feeling, that energy. John Glenn. Hey, Aaron. I know you talked a little bit about this earlier, but when you look at the numbers for you guys, not a lot of whole big stats pop out or anything like that, even though you guys have won four straight. But I wonder how much credit, maybe, Mike Vrabel gets in this kind of situation for being one of the factors that has you guys winning, you know, despite the fact that there don't seem to be a whole lot of, as I say, flashy stats about this team. Yeah, I just say that, like, as I said before, it's just our culture, like, it's that grimy culture that we're never going to fall, we're going to go all four quarters over time if we have to. We're just going to bring that same intensity. We come out of the game all the way to the end. We're going to try to wear you down, play after play, hand you straight in the mouth. Jim White. And Aaron, how much you feel like the run game, maybe getting a little bit of a groove here of late, three straight 100-yard games by Derrick, and you feel like maybe best is yet to come? Can you say that one more time? I said, how much you guys feel like you're in a little bit of a groove here in the run game now, three straight 100-yard games for Derrick, and you feel like the best is yet to come as you guys settle in? Oh, yeah, we feeling good about where we at because we knocking at the door right now. As you can see, it's not just the best game offensively wise, but we still there. Like we gradually getting there, we knocking at the door and just, in a matter of time, we're going to knock the door down just to have that 200-yard game. Chris Harris. Aaron playing alongside Ben Jones. How tough is he? And give me an example. An example of how tough Ben is, is this past Sunday. Like Ben, he went through cramped up, and I think it was the first second quarter when I came right back in, next drive, had got rolled up, knee issues, and Ben, like he just, he a warrior, Ben, he just, he, he went up a kind, like, I can't put into words, like how tough Ben is. Like he didn't went through numerous injuries throughout games, and he's still in there, like no matter how he feeling, no matter where he going, so he going to find a way to keep going, keep fighting. You can't have nothing but respect for that. John, go ahead. Aaron, I know you talked a lot about, maybe putting on a pound or two in the off season. I'm wondering what you're weighing in on around now, and how much of a challenge is it for you who's not a giant frame to keep weight on during the season? Right now, I'm weighing about between in the two nineties, and I'll say it was, it's been difficult in my whole career, but I'll say this season, like it's been a lot better, like just, all day I have to focus on throughout the season, just my diet, really what I'm eating, what I'm putting in my system, and I'm getting it back into my system after work days, or after games, and staying on top of it. Which, what's the reason you think it's been better this season just day, just a better plan? Yeah, that's a little better meal plan I'm on now, is the only thing that got me better this season. Jim, what? Can you still do the backflips? Yes, I can still do the backflip. As long as I'm able to run and move, I better do that backflip. Can anybody else in the team do that? Hmm, I'm not sure, we probably got some skill, guys, but I don't know about any big man. And how long you been doing that? I've been doing backflips since I can remember, probably like five, six years old. And you taught yourself? Yeah. You ever had a situation where it didn't go as well? You landed on your head? Absolutely, had many times. Like, this is in the process of learning something, trying to error. What's the challenge on Sunday against the Texans? I'd say it's the same challenge in the other way I was playing against them. Good team, it's a football team professional athlete, so it just has to come out there and bring it in, just be ready for anything they bring to us. Kim, you want to get it started? Hey, Brett, but I appreciate you taking the time. Just the way you play, the energy you bring, how much you feel like that's part of your responsibility to kind of fire the guys up and you feel like everybody kind of feeds off your energy? No, man, it's a good opportunity. That's just who I am, overall, as a person. Let's just meet every day, you know. It's just a part of my routine, man. Ever since I started playing football, you got to be able to have fun while you're in the field, and make it a competition within your teammates. So what I mean by that is, just challenge guys to do stuff that you want them to do, but make it fun. Just like we run into the ball, like you see Jeff, he's flying around every day, so Jeff comes back and he says something, that's like, he's either fast, personal, decent, or so on. So now this going to make everybody else run super speed to go past him to try to beat him to the ball each and every day, and it's just that mentality of getting better and better all right throughout the season, man. Over a course of time, man, to make each player that much better. Toronto? Yeah, also, but with the way you guys win these close games, and it's always ugly, you know, what is it about this team that you think allows you guys to just consistently win the way you do? Yeah, man, like I said, it starts at the top, you know, you got to be tough in this game, and you got to take your coaching, you know, with a grain of salt, put it behind you and continue to rock with, you know, a guy like Brayboy who's super tough, you know, he can steal that in us every day, you know, he gets a lot of guys who want to feel what he wants to be tough, and he thinks tough, so, you know, we got to live up to that atmosphere too, and then those crunch time games, man, the tough is one, all we got to come out on top, you know, so you got to make sure you're in that mode the whole time, you may be bigger than me, you may be stronger than me, but you may not be tougher than me. Chris Harris. Hey, bud, how much of an onus does the defense kind of put on itself while the offense is still trying to, you know, find its rhythm and put up points? You know, just in this situation, man, we know we take it the same way each and every day, we go out, we try to make these flash plays no matter how the offense going, you know, it's a group effort, you know, we want to play hand in hand, so, you know, the more times we're on the, the more times we get out the field, these are more times that they're on the field, and they're able to make the opportunity to have those situations. John Gunn. Hey, bud, this is probably a little bit like Taron's question, but, you know, what do you say when, you know, some people are saying, how are they doing this? How are they winning four games in a row? How are they four and two when you look at the stats and nothing really pops out necessarily for you to get? Man, you got a bunch of goons, man, a bunch of goons on the team, goon-headed coats, you know, that's just what it is. Everybody, everybody want to win, man, everybody put it into their mindset and go out there and just play for it all, you know, don't leave nothing on, don't leave nothing to look back for it, you don't need nothing to look back at, and, you know, each and every day waking up like that, you know, you're only going to put a field on the fight. While I'm waiting for, if there's anybody else, do you, we be watching the game on Saturday? Oh yeah, well, we just, we probably just win, but, you know, that's just what we do personally. So, you know, I love Sundays, but, you know, ever since I've been going crazy, I love Saturdays too. And, you know, cats by 40, that's what I'm thinking. Hey, I'm going to jump in with one, but two, you're talking about a bunch of goons on the team. What does that mean exactly? You're my, what is a goon on the football field? It's the same thing, the same thing it is in real life, you know, it's on the field. We go out there, we're trying to hit people in the mouth hard as we can, you know, they're going to try to hit us opposite of course, but, you know, we just got to be the one to get the last punch, and we got to make sure all our punches count. And, you know, each and every day having that mindset, man, to go out there and dominate and be dominant, you know, just, they just bring energy and effort. So, man, we want to go out there each and every time we step on the field, man. Like I said, you may be bigger than me, you may be, you may be stronger than me, you may be bitching 600 pounds, you ain't going to be tougher than this. So, you know, you got to have that mindset each and every day. All right, I think that's all we got for you. Appreciate your time. Can I go, can I go one more, bud? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I know, I know, you know, a lot of videos we see after games, you know, with Rape will kind of welcome a new guys back to the locker room, off the field. What's he saying those moments? And what's it maybe mean to guys when they see maybe how much it means to him and how appreciative he is of the efforts you guys give? Yeah, those moments, man, especially, you know, it just shows that Coach, he's a player, he's been a player, you know, in his league, Lumbers did a great job. So, you know, it just shows the appreciation that he has for the game, man. The players involved and he knows God's playing through injuries and God just want to leave it out on the line, man. He sees it, you know, first hand, because he can tell, you know, so, man, he just takes pride in that, man. And it takes it personal for himself, too, because he was once a player, and it just means that much more to him. And what's the challenge this week against the Texans seeing him for the first time? Man, you know, the Texans are always going to be a team, you know, especially to have a good line up front with starting with the Tacos. All the running back is emerging. You know, guys are coming along well, man. We got to go out there with our mindset, man. Every game is a big game. We got to go out there and take this as another division game. You know, they're going to come out with that. They're going to come out swinging hard at us to try to be there. So we got to make sure we're doing the same thing. And last one for me, you talked about Simmons, but for a guy that big who runs to the ball like he does, I mean, does he remind you of an old school player, anybody you've been around before, or what do you think of his effort when you see it? Man, yeah, man. He reminds me of, like, I can't hate right now, man. In Pittsburgh, those guys are both tremendous, you know, power players, but they know to still get out of the ball, they still get to it. You know, then, you know, Jeff has a lot of sauce to his game, man. He can do a lot of food. He can rush on the edge, he can rush from the middle of you. He can be on the edge too. So, man, he's just one of those, one of those special guys, man. And he loves the game of football, and he never wants to be outworked. So, you know, it's always fun to be on the field with him.
