00:00 Yeah, most definitely. I know the game plan was just go out there and execute and do what we do.
00:05 You know, it's a nameless, faceless opponent. Just going out there, putting good stuff on tape, you know,
00:09 and getting that chemistry as a team and see where we're at this first game.
00:12 How did the first touchdown feel?
00:14 It felt great. You know, get back out there with the team and, you know, catching that ball from the quarterback
00:18 is like, it's an amazing feeling to go cheer with your guys and celebrate.
00:21 You mentioned earlier in camp just how good of a ball kind of Boathrow is.
00:27 Now that you're in game action, how did that kind of stand out to you?
00:30 I mean, it stood out since fall camp, as I said.
00:33 But, I mean, in the game, it's kind of, it makes it easier for the receivers when you go over there and run a great route
00:39 and then the ball's right there on your chin and you get outfield.
00:41 So, I think it's just building that chemistry. Just keep building it over and over and over again.
00:45 It's obviously week one, but it's going to be an exciting season.
00:48 Speaking of that chemistry, I mean, did you leave this game today feeling like that was accomplished,
00:53 the chemistry was built, that you felt good out there?
00:55 I mean, it's the everyday grind, everyday battle.
00:57 I mean, obviously, you can go out there the next day and it can stink it up.
01:00 So, it's the everyday battle.
01:01 But, I think we did a great job today of just going out there and executing the game plan.
01:05 That was the main focus, you know, not playing against any certain team, but just playing against us.
01:09 Knowing we've got to get to certain depths and do certain things within the offense in order for us to look good.
01:13 And when you've been away from the field for a minute, it's been a while for a 100-yard game, regardless of opponent,
01:19 how does this feel personally to be back producing at a high level?
01:22 Yeah, it feels great. It feels great to go out there and just compete with this team and see where we're at as a team.
01:26 You know, it's obviously week one and it's going to be an uphill battle from here on out.
01:30 But, I mean, it feels great to go out there and, you know, get back on the field.
01:33 Did you ever doubt over the last year about your own ability to return to the level that you were?
01:39 Did you ever have questions?
01:40 No, I never had any doubt.
01:41 I've just been excited, just hungry to get out there, back on the field.
01:44 And it felt good being out there with these guys.
01:46 You know, they welcomed me in like a brother, so it just felt good to go out there and compete with them
01:49 and see how they play against an opponent.
01:51 It's just been an amazing experience for me.
01:53 You talked about Bo and your connection.
01:55 We've got to know with Ty and obviously found the end zone there.
01:57 What would you see from Ty and how he handles himself?
01:59 You can see he's waiting for his opportunity.
02:01 Whenever he gets his opportunity, he's going to go out there and make the best of it.
02:04 I think that's what I see from Ty today.
02:06 Putting great balls, you know, he threw me a great slap today.
02:09 And, you know, I mean, even when the other guys, he was pretty much, you know, getting in there, making offense move.
02:14 And I think that was the biggest thing, just executing the game plan.
02:16 He was ready for his moment.
