• 0:32
  Speaker 1: you know, God allowed it to be seventeens day and um,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: it was a lot of fun. Just keep getting I
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: mean especial to me. You had a couple I know
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: they're drops or but what's up like for you as
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: a player, going you just keep going. Yeah, it's a
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: it's it's it's big, it's a it's a rhythm builder. Um.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: You know you get that first catching or even the
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: first two opportunities kind of just flushing them, letting them go,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: um and um, just having the opportunity to keep coming.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: You want to capitalize and once you get that one
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: and then that second one, getting to the flow of
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: the game. UM, you kind of settle in UM, and
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: then you know, the defense kept giving us the ball
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: and so we were able to kind of sustain jobs
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: get some points. And uh. It just that just that
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: just kind of gets UM players in the rhythm and
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: an offense in the rhythm as well. Evan just kind
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: of go off of that. I mean, what is it
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: like to be in the zone though you speak about rhythm,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: but when if somebody catches, somebody ares you, you're kind
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: of able to do whatever out there. I guess in
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: the moment, what what does that feel like for maybe
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: those who don't understand, UM, it's uh, it's kind of
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: uh ufork. You know, it's once you learn some things
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: mentally UM that you can apply on the field or
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: in a professional or whatever you do. UM, you kind
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: of learn how to become mentally trained and use it
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: to your advantage. UM. It's uh, it's a good tool
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: to have, UM. And so you know, as as the
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: opportunities came making plays, UM, getting downfield, making plays with
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: the ball and hands, they act stuff, UM, that confidence
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: goes up. But also it's important, you know, to kind
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: of stay in the moment, stay centered, UM, and focus
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: on your breathing and UM, just be ready for the
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: next play, because a good good player, bad play. UM,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: you want to continue to move on. UM. And the
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: game kept going on, We kept needing plays. UM, they
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: kept dialing my name, UM, and I just would to
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: go make a place for the team. I think, is
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: it to beat these guys here? Yeah, you know it was.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Had had a nice little history lesson this week on
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: the history between these two teams. Um Man. You know
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: where we are in our season, UM, and what we
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: kind of have to do this last stretch of games.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: This one was big, UM. And uh we kind of
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: got a glimpse of that last night as a motivation. UM.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: And we came out. We were ready. We had a
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: great week of practice, We had fun at practice, UM,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: and we just trusted our process and we put our
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: process to the test today UM Man Defense, UM, offense,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: special teams had a big one called back, which is unfortunate,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: but UM, you know we all we all answered the
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: belt today. It was it just it was fun. Good.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Do you feel like everybody is starting to take on
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: a new trust with Trevor the way he's playing, I mean,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: he's he's earning it. Yeah, for sure, he's earning it.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: And it's not even like he had to earn our trust.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: We worked so hard the offseason. Um, it was easy
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: building a relationship with him. Um, it was you know,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: there was some diversity early on, there was some success,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: like he's earning it, and even you know, battling the
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: injury last week, coming back in the game last week,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: and then um, you know, doing everything he could this
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: week to be ready for the day, and then how
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: he played the day and how he was in control
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: of the huddle and how he moved Like he's earning it, um,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: and he's showing it. And uh, it's just a natural
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: thing to really deal with. UM. And uh it's something
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: that we can continue to build on and with the
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: talent like his um accountability has of himself as a leader. Um,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: it's a it's it's a good fit for sure. You
• 3:49

• 3:52
  Speaker 1: like what he can do, what he can show you honestly,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: you know it only like he doesn't worry about that.
