00:00 I thought he played well.
00:01 He's getting more reps.
00:02 We had him starting ahead of Randy and
00:05 he's just got to continue to stay at the level of the quarterback,
00:10 not behind the quarterback.
00:11 But I felt like the edges were much better today.
00:15 Those guys played better.
00:16 It's a tough quarterback to contain.
00:19 We wanted to make sure we were cage rushing him and
00:22 that he had to beat us in the pocket and not out of the pocket.
00:25 And we felt like if we could keep him there,
00:28 then we'd get our chance at an opportunity.
00:31 And certainly that's what happened in the last play where Kareem intercepted it.
00:35 We had him right kind of where we wanted him, in the pocket.
00:38 I think I spend more time focused on when to lean, how to lean.
00:46 And I would love to have been sitting here three and
00:49 getting ready to play this team, leaning hard and just going.
00:53 But you're still learning a little bit.
00:58 About these guys and probably the same way vice versa.
01:01 I know what it takes.
01:04 I know what it looks like.
01:06 And look, I was proud of Lutz going in there, hitting that field goal.
01:11 The last time we were here, he hit a walk off field goal in overtime.
01:16 I can't recall what year, it was COVID,
01:18 because there wasn't a lot of people watching.
01:20 But I was proud of him.
01:23 So many guys just kind of hanging in there.
01:25 But we'll keep grinding.
01:30 It's, yeah, it is what it is.
