00:00 The running on bounds thing is something that I've definitely been working on for my entire football career.

00:06 And I finally listened wholeheartedly this past weekend and I feel a heck of a lot better on Sunday, that's for sure.

00:13 So I'll definitely carry that into next week's, but on that third down too, like when I gotta get it, you know,

00:20 you best believe I'm gonna put my shoulder down and try and get it any way I can.

00:23 But the visor, you know, that was something that I always wanted when I first came here, but Coach Harbaugh was strict.

00:29 I'm no boxer and he said, you know, the arm sleeve, the visor, use it to your discretion.

00:35 If it becomes a distraction, he's gonna take it off.

00:37 So, you know, I just threw it on there and I love the feel, you know, look good, feel good, play good, all that.

00:43 But yeah, something that I always wanted.

00:46 Yeah, that meant a lot to hear that because I didn't think so myself.

00:51 There's a lot of plays that I want to get back and there's a lot of reads that I felt like I could progress on to

00:57 and throws that I could have made.

00:59 But yeah, it means a lot coming from him.

01:01 Just I feel like the aspect of using both my arm and my legs is gonna really help out the team.

01:07 And he'd really love to see that.

01:09 Obviously, the ball security was great.

01:11 No turnovers or anything like that.

01:13 So I agree with him wholeheartedly that it was one of my best.

01:17 For me specifically, it's that comfort being out there on the field.

01:20 Like after completing, I think it was second to long for a bender over the middle,

01:24 and then seeing Coach do one of these, like, it's just something about it just gets me that extra spark when I'm out there.

01:31 And obviously, he's the leader of our organization.

01:34 He's the leader of our team.

01:35 And just being out there with him at the front lines with us, it means so much.

01:39 And it just brings that extra level of, all right, here we go.

01:43 We're here for it.
