  Speaker 1: So guess it's not on the third down position you had.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: But how good is you know the.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: Way he extends to play who's around the pocket and
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: makes things happen like he does.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I don't think that plays there if
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: he's not able to do that.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: And you know, it was a great play by him
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: and uh just being able to find me in kind
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: of like a little nook and cranny of the defense.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: So it was a It was a good play for
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: our offense for sure.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: I think was what is this for you guys get
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: in the last few game or what it was? It
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: was a super big win. It was you know, we
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: wanted to get back on track.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Obviously we've we've we dropped three games, and I wanted
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: to get.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Back on track for our team.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: And uh so it was a huge win and we
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: needed it and I'm glad we were able to come
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: out and do what we're supposed to do. When you're
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: clicking like this, what does it feel like is going
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: right offensively in terms of the balance and just the
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: way that you guys are able to develop a rhythm here. Yeah,
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: I think you know, the run game valve going a
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: little bit more today, and I think that, you know,
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: going we'll go back and look at it and even
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: identify even more things that we can get better at,
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: and you can continue to progress.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: And so.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: You know, it's nice to have, you know, get a
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: little bit of a progression today, but obviously we're gonna go.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Back and still look at it and and strive for more.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: So how do you feel about the Past Protection said?
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: How do you feel about the Past Protection? I think
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: I think it did well today.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: I mean, obviously it's never gonna be perfect, right, It's
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: it's gonna be ebbs and flows in the game.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: And I think our guys held up well.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: Obviously we had a you know, Ricky Uh and Mike
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: Durrell in his first start, so I was super happy
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: and proud of him and the way that he played.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: So we'll go back to the drawing board and see
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: where we can continue to improve at and Uh and
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: figure it out from there. But I mean, obviously, right
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: now we're we're excited and happy for this win and
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: you know, gonna keep improving.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: I think it was great.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: I mean, obviously King kind of went into his own
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: zone before the game. Everybody kind of knew that he
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: wasn't feeling well, and you know it's his birthday too,
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: so it's like it was like a high and low thing.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: But you know, he kind of went into his own zone.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: I knew that he was gonna have a great game.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: That's just the competitor that he is. And you know,
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: he's a he's one of our bell cows at at
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: running back. So I'm super happy that he he came
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: out and showed out.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Like you did.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: He was just kind of, you know, just like zoned in,
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: Like it was just kind of like you could tell
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: that he was just like you knew that he wasn't
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: feeling well, but you know he he was gonna put
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: all that aside and kind of and get into his
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: his own place before the game.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: So it was kind of one of those things. It
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: was like step back and let him work. So it
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: was like it was really cool.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: To see I might as well be I mean, you
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: know that's uh, that's basically what it was.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: And he came out and showed out. So that was
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: a really cool thing. Into the first half, there's ten
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: seconds left, no time out. It's an offense. How much
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: you like to coach you as the faith you guys
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: to make a big play there when you maybe could
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: just done something safer.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it's it's huge. Obviously that was a huge
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: drive for us. And being able to go down and
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: score points. That was an unreal throw and catch by
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: like he came the in the in the end zone.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: But uh, I mean obviously being able to drive down
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: and get points before the half like that is huge
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: for offense. So I think that when we get into
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: those situations grubs grub is aggressive and and wants to
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: get not just not just three points, he wants to
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: go score. So that's the greatest mentality you have. I
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: think he just he just stayed composed. I mean obviously,
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: like coming in as a rookie, you know, the first start,
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: kind of getting thrown into the fire. I think he
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: did a really well job, really good job of just
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: staying composed, staying where in the right mindset, not not
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: knowing that it's not gonna be perfect. There's gonna be
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: places that we can continue to improve on. But I
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: think he did a great job of of you know,
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: blocking doing his thing and composing himself out there regardless
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: of you know, what was happening on the field.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Sorry, what was you saying to him the game, honestly
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: and nothing needed to be said. I think that it was.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: It was nice had like we had George on the
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: on the sideline, guy Charles on the other side, guys
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: that kept talking to him throughout the game, and he
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: was he was in his element. That was That was
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: the coolest thing. Is like he didn't need any like
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: pep talk or anything like that. So and obviously we
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: have leaders in that room also, the older guys that that.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Keep him keep them with him. So it was it
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: was cool to see you guys like more of the
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: play vocals available because of because of the Yeah, I definitely,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: I definitely think so.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: I don't think that we were having to play catch up,
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: whereas like when you're when you're doing that, it's it's
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: more passes, more trying to get points fast and things
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: like that. So being up and then getting a comfortable
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: lead from our defense also helps a lot.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: And uh, being able to do that, you know, you
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: can call it opens your whole playbook up.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: You don't you don't really have any limitations because you
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: can play freely and just you.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Know, try to keep going going to get points. So yeah,
