• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Goold to go.
• 0:01
  Speaker 2: It's good to get a win obviously, you know, I
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: thought as an offense, we you know, we were able
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: to move the ball up down the field. You know,
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: we just got to finish when we get in the
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: red zone. I think that's the that's the story today,
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: you know. And then some things operationally, you know, we
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: can clean up some penalties. But overall, again, like I said,
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: I felt like, you know, we were you know, besides
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: maybe the you know, second drive in the in the
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: second half where we went three and out. You know,
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: I felt like we were moving the ball at a
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: high clip today. But you know, we just got to
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: continue to finish our drives and finish in the red zone.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, ask me, we're asking you a question.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: A bat him every week and that single season branch
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: orecor on the eleven games.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: And just what would say about way.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's unbelievable, man, just the way that he's been
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: able to play this year, every single game. Right, It's
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: it's tough, you know, to be that consistent, but I
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: think it starts with his attitude and his prep that
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: he puts in throughout the week.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: So no surprise whatsoever. But yeah, he's a really good player.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: And again I think you know, the guys that we have,
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: you know, to compliment a guy like Jack's, you know,
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: with the starting with the running backs, you know, the
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: tight ends and the other receivers.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: You know, there's other guys on the field.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: That the defense has to pay attention to, and I
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: think that can only help him out to be.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Able to kind of shield defenders from the deep balls.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: And his body control, Yeah, yeah, his body control is
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: you know, second to none.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: You know, he he can really go up.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: No matter if the ball is, if the ball is overthrown,
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: I feel like he, you know, has the talent and
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: the speed to speed up and catch it, or if
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: it's underthrown, he has the ability to, like you mentioned,
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: kind of you know, put the defender in a tough
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: position and and kind of box him out and get
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: the ball and not only you know, catch the ball,
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: but also try to you know, score with it as well. Touchdown,
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: it looked like they had a couple of guys that
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: might have picked each other off there and covered.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: What did you see there that immediately like I'm going
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: to go right there in that corner rock.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think just you know, understanding the coverage you know,
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: him potentially being one on one. You know, it wasn't
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: it wasn't my first read, but you know, I just
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: felt like that's kind of where the defense took me.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: What are you seeing you wine the red zone? Years?
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you know, I think in the red zone,
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: we just gotta, you know, keep the ball moving forward.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Like I said, I think penalties don't help with that.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: You know, I had a delay a game, which you know,
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: I'd like to have that one back for sure, But yeah,
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: we just gotta we gotta keep the.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Ball moving forward.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: You know, if we go backwards, that's always a bad
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: thing in the red zone. Having an efficient team day
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: versus class move the process that you have just support
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: which you can do elite. No, I think, you know,
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: my process has always been there, you know. I think
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: you know, it was just a better, better outcome this week.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: And uh yeah, I think that's about it.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Anything else. Appreciate it, guys,
