I think that feels like a nice package there.

Yeah. Wow. Look at those phones lined up. It's Selger and Maz. I'm not at the Sports Hub. Coach, now you go to Foxborough. Before we talk about the team itself, this is a strange trip in the NFL. There's nothing quite like it. Maybe Green Bay where you stay so far away from the stadium. It's always going to be some kind of bus ride, and it's just kind of weird going there.

But the fact that you did it last year, and I know the group is a little bit different, but that has to help it away. I know it's a different team, but you know the environment, if you will, you know what's going to go on travel-wise. Yeah, I do. As soon as I started talking about the schedule, I was like, oh yeah yeah, this is the one where, you know, when we fly in, we fly in the Providence, I think, and the hotel is pretty close to the airport. So that's a short drive. Then it's like, uh-oh, but this is the one. This is the one where we got the 40-minute bus ride to the stadium, right? It's like, yeah, this is the one. So been there, done it, everybody. Most of all the guys who were here last year, we went through the same thing with the travel. We're ready for it. And I tell, I'm telling guys this, man, it doesn't matter. Like, people want to talk about a short week. Oh, you guys had the Monday night and it's not fair. If I, if I told you in training camp, hey, we're going to have to play a Monday night playoff game. You will win. And then you got a short week to go play New England. You want me sign you up for that? Yes, I'm ready to go. So, man, we're ready for the moment. Whatever it takes, to travel, it can get a little weird. The weather, it doesn't matter. Like, sign me up for playing football in this time of year. We're still in it, one of the final four teams in the AFC. Our guys are worked extremely hard for this moment.

We just got to go out and execute again and play good football.

That was D'emico Ryan's Houston Texans head coach.

I don't know exactly when that came.

It was, I believe, the in-house sort of Patriots.com equivalent show that he would be on there in Houston. So it either came, I don't know, late Monday night, early Tuesday morning. I don't know. I don't know when that came, but that was D'Amico Rhyans. And that's a way to get us into the topic today. And that is D'Miko Ryans and the coaching as we continue to get you ready for Patriots, Texans, in the divisional round. Mazze and Murray alongside, how you guys doing? Good deal. You fear this guy? Yes.

Yeah, I look, I put this guy in the get on the same level as Rabel. I think he's that kind of coach.

I think he's excellent. He's had nothing but winning seasons since he came into the league.

He's bright. He's a, you know, former player with players mentality.

And that comment that we just played should tell you a great deal about how D'Amico

Ryan's operates.

He's not going to get distracted by the bullcrap, which is the bus ride, the weather.

Unlike Harbaugh, we touched on this the other night, probably not going to show

up wearing a parka like he's playing in, you know, Alaska for the divisional playoff round.

So I think this guy is like, to me, he is sort of like their version of one of the McCordies,

you know, take your pick. He is high-quality, solid player. He's a high-quality guy. He's smart. He's tough. I like everything about him. To me, you can't go wrong with a guy like this as you coach. He's built a real culture there. Sorry to cut you off. And I think because he looks kind of like a rabel does too, they both look like they can still play. When did the Texans draft him 20 years ago? You know, so I think his best attribute from what I can see since he took over the team is he's probably got a really good connection with these players. Still a young guy. Still looks like he can play. It's a real culture there, like I said. So, yeah, no, I don't think he's a slub as a coach.

Oh, he's not even close to a schlub as a coach.

So I don't think he's a schlub as a coach.

Oh, he's not even close to a schlub as a coach.

So I just came to this because, you know, as I like to do,

I like to listen to the press conferences and get a feel for the other side and do that thing.
