00:00 - I think obviously with any young player, you know,
00:02 it's, you're learning things and you're seeing new looks
00:04 and different things, but, you know,
00:06 once he gets rolling, he gets rolling and, you know,
00:08 we got to start faster offensively, you know, again,
00:10 that starts with myself,
00:11 but I got to do a better job with him
00:13 to get him going earlier.
00:14 And we go from there and we learn from the tape
00:16 and we get better.
00:17 Yeah, no doubt.
00:18 He came back from that, you know, turnover, obviously,
00:21 and he made some huge plays, you know, in the,
00:23 in the second half, obviously some scramble plays,
00:26 you know, two point conversions,
00:27 the touchdown runs he had down there
00:29 were huge to get us back in it.
00:31 And obviously, you know, we just got to find a way,
00:34 you know, to finish, you know,
00:35 kind of like we did last, last week against Baltimore,
00:37 same type of situation.
00:38 We got to, we got to finish there at the end.
00:40 - Anthony's escapability,
00:41 maybe if he didn't get the protection totally right,
00:43 just how much of an asset is that?
00:44 - It's huge.
00:45 I mean, you saw some of the big plays he made
00:47 getting out of the pocket, you know,
00:48 to get some, some yardage there was huge.
00:50 And then early on, you know,
00:51 we had some design runs for him
00:52 where he got some big runs as well,
00:55 but obviously it's definitely an asset
00:57 when a guy can do that.
00:58 - So the first two point conversion,
01:00 how much of that is like by design,
01:01 also just AR?
01:03 - This is exactly where we thought it wouldn't go.
01:05 And he made a play.
01:06 Yeah, they pass it off and shoot.
01:09 There is, he scrambled and he threw it to Zach.
01:10 So it was held play by him.
01:12 - I guess how much of an asset is there
01:13 when you're in those moments that,
01:14 that sort of risk,
01:16 the blunder you put defenses in
01:17 with Anthony's ability to run or just throw it?
01:20 - Yeah, no, obviously it helps us, right?
01:22 Obviously the defense,
01:23 they got to defend a running quarterback
01:25 and obviously a drop back passer.
01:26 And it definitely helps us as an offense.
