  Speaker 1: You know, to have to stretch where you hit DK
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: and Jackson back to back there and the lead that drive.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: How good did it feel to have the offense kind
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: of click as quick as it did to that. Yeah,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: that's uh, you know, that's gonna be important for us.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: You know, I was very happy about that. And those
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: are two guys that we're gonna need to you know,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: make big plays. And so we talk about starting the
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: game's fast, and we talk about scoring points, and so
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: you always want to strike first. You always want to
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: give your defense a lead, and you know, I think
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: that's where we have to continue to improve. You know,
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: really want to strike early score points and get the
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: all into the hands of playmakers. You and Drew both
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: found Bulbo a few times. What's he shown here? Yeah,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: I mean Bobo has been doing a great job, you know,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: ever since you know, think back to you know, Mini
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: camp and OTAs. He was a guy who was just
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: showing up on tape, making plays consistently, a guy who
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: knows his assignment. He's got a lot of confidence, a
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: lot of swag. Everyone around here loves Bobo and you know,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: we're happy to see him make those plays because he
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: can be a really good player. You know, last year
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: because of the circumstances you played along in the preseason.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Do you have a feeling a feel for how much
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: you'd like to play over these three games. Honestly, that's
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: up to coach. You know. I I always enjoy playing,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: you know, any anytime I get an opportunity to play
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: with my team, you know, teammates and go out there
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: and you know, execute and get better. It's always fun
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: for me. So I would you know, I would welcome
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: playing a lot again, you know, if that was the case.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: But it's really up to coach. How much do those
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: partially game like reps out here help you in terms
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: of chemistry as opposed to training camp, ord feels a
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: little bit more. Yeah, you know, the game reps and
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: and the tempo, you know, getting the real live reps,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: you know, and training camp is very important too. Every
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: single rep that we get, every single step we take,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: you know, every week, we get a little bit better.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: And so as long as we take those reps and
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: those those moments real serious, uh, we focus and we
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: lock in, it's gonna make us better. And so to
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: have another opportunity today in Loomingsfield in front of our fans, uh,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: with with the great crowd, it was just awesome. So
• 2:28

  Speaker 1: barrier sometimes and it was just one of those things
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: where you know, it's just it's just great to be
