00:00 (upbeat music)
00:02 - Got the ball down there with two,
00:12 two and some change, 255 and some change.
00:14 We had fourth and half a yard.
00:16 And you have a decision to make there.
00:18 I love the way our offense was running the ball
00:20 at that time.
00:21 And we had a really good chance to seal the deal right there.
00:23 And that was the decision we made at that moment.
00:27 Just because of the way we were running it,
00:28 it was a half a yard.
00:30 So I felt very confident about getting that right there.
00:33 And every situation is different.
00:36 You gotta look at the game in its entirety.
00:39 And I think that the way we were running the football
00:41 and the confidence that we had on offense in that moment,
00:45 I would say that we're gonna do that right there.
00:49 I mean, just because it's about moving people off the ball,
00:52 and as we've been doing all day,
00:54 and we just gotta execute in that moment.
00:56 I mean, if you get it, the game's over, most likely.
00:59 You gotta make them use their timeouts,
01:03 probably getting past the two minute warning.
01:06 And then at least, you're kicking a field goal
01:08 with under a minute left.
01:11 So I love the decision.
01:13 It shows coach has trust in us to convert on that,
01:17 and in that situation.
01:19 And we just gotta execute.
01:20 I think there was a mis-blocked backside.
01:23 That's why somebody was able to sneak through
01:25 and tackle Khalil, but in that situation,
01:28 that's a tough spot.
01:30 You know, as a player, you want your head coach
01:32 to be able to trust you in that situation.
01:33 But like I said, if we would've got it,
01:35 then I'd be up here talking about
01:37 how great of a call that was.
01:38 So just didn't go our way, missed the blocked backside,
01:41 and just gotta execute in that situation.
