• 2:30
  Speaker 2: that's my first time ever getting that close uh to
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: the snapper or even upunterer. So I just knew from
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: my mindset when I think about it, I'm just the
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna run through him cause they don't wanna tackle.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: So just in that moment, I just was like, let's

  Speaker 2: just trust my speed and if he tackles me, I
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: hope he.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: I hope he wouldn't. But I'm just gonna try and
