00:02 our overall leveraging the football

00:05 and the force elements of our game is,
00:07 we made a huge emphasis of this in the off season.
00:09 We thought we were sloppy in the past
00:11 and we had not been as accountable.
00:13 The perimeter plays, the screens,
00:15 and those things that tonight you saw us again,
00:16 you know, pounding on those things.
00:19 I think we're better than we've been in the last few years
00:22 at this early stage of leveraging the football.
00:24 And so the big plays aren't getting out.
00:26 And that's why the numbers are in the threes.
00:28 And so it's a really good early statement
00:31 'cause it's been a huge emphasis for us.
00:33 And so we'll see if we can do it again next week
