- 1:14Speaker 2: matter what special team's offense.
- 1:16Speaker 1: So I just thank God.

- 1:20Speaker 2: bag or did you learn that somewhere specifically along the way.
- 1:23Speaker 2: I definitely had it in my bag, but I I
- 1:24Speaker 2: would say coach KP always emphasizes on the little things
- 1:29Speaker 2: and stuff like that, so those are one of the
- 1:31Speaker 2: things we always work on and stuff like that, stive farming,
- 1:33Speaker 2: beating the last person, anything like that. So KP definitely
- 1:36Speaker 2: had was in the back of my brain when I

- 1:50Speaker 2: but I definitely lost my ball. I was too litten

- 2:02Speaker 1: the first game?
- 2:02Speaker 2: Uh, definitely, man, being ebit of the block is definitely
- 2:05Speaker 2: something big for me being a third down bet, so
