• 1:17
  Speaker 1: you know, we want to do better there to make
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: it easier on third down and give ourselves a chance
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: finishing the red zone. And yeah, that's what I would
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: saying you.
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: Guys, obviously has shown a lot of positive things offensively

• 1:44
  Speaker 1: is always always there, and we put the work in
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: that practice to fix those problems. So it's just it's
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: just making it right, watching film, understanding you know what
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: we can fix, and and executing from there. You miss
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: most about DK met being around, just having DK around
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: you know himself, you know, a great guy, a friend,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: you know, can you know always talk to him advice
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: blah blah blah. But yeah, that's my guy.
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: What did he teach you to use the most? You
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: think how the field?
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: I think I just respected his approach to the game,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: what he did off the field, you know, to prepare
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: to make sure he was ready for game days or
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: something that I took from him.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: I know you want the ball obviously, but do you
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: feel like it should be maybe spread around a little
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: bit more.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: We're gonna be getting that big a disparity of targets
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: between everybody else, definitely. I mean we have threats all
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: around the field. So the more we can use everybody,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: you know, the tougher we're going to be. And we
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: know that. Uh, and we're gonna get more opportunities, you
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: know for those guys to you know, do their things
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: because we have we have a lot of weapons and
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: we know that. So you know, I'm excited for us
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: to get another chance, some another game under our belt
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: and and really prove that.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: Jack, are you somebody that folk hyper focuses on, like

  Speaker 3: i mean, you had nine catches for one hundred and
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: twenty yards and the fumble when you catch up the sideline,
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: I'm sure you probably wish you had. How do you

• 3:17
  Speaker 3: to you on those moments?

• 3:23
  Speaker 1: eat at you. And I'm the type of person that
