00:10 He's been locked in, I told you guys that each week.
00:13 I feel like his comfort level and what we're doing,
00:15 knowing what his assignments are,
00:16 knowing what's going on around him is much improved.
00:18 And he was able to put that all together much better this week, for sure.
00:24 Whenever you know you have what we refer to as a dirty edge,
00:26 which pretty much every bootleg keeper that we have is a dirty edge.
00:31 You gotta come out high, and
00:32 when you recognize that the rusher is high, you gotta pull up.
00:34 And so he didn't do that on that particular one,
00:37 he did it on the other one and created a touchdown for us.
00:39 And so it's part of that learning experience that you get in games and
00:43 seeing the way everybody's game planning, part of the next step, right?
00:46 We gotta make sure that we can consistently execute.
00:53 That was a good example of overcoming a couple critical errors too, right?
00:58 The penalties part of it was an issue that we can't seem to get rid of
01:02 just quite yet.
01:03 We were able to overcome most of those, except for the big one at the end.
01:07 And so we gotta make sure we knock those out.
01:09 But the execution part of it, the communication part of it was all pretty
01:12 crisp.
01:13 And therefore, it gives Justin an opportunity to go and
01:15 play at a high level.
01:17 Fortunately, he's not one of the new guys, right?
01:20 There's a lot of new guys and it'll be hard for one of those guys to do that.
01:23 But he's not one of the new guys, so that should comfort him a little bit more.
01:26 We got some good work in through camp, him on the left side.
01:32 So we're excited to see, we'll see how far he can go.
01:34 We get a chance to let him do a little bit today.
01:37 I know it's walkthrough only, but we'll see how the next day or two goes.
01:40 I would assume he has a legitimate chance, but like I said,
01:43 it's gonna take another day or two to make sure that everybody feels good.
01:46 >> Well, I think as you look at the way that that game played,
01:50 where we had 78 snaps instead of 50 snaps that we've had each of the first couple
01:54 weeks.
01:55 So that part of it, just showing that we were able to play,
01:58 kind of go into the game plan and play the way we wanted to play.
02:01 And we were able to run the ball.
02:03 We talked about explosives last week, how we were lacking that.
02:06 We were able to go get those in the run game.
02:08 And anytime you're able to do that,
02:10 that's gonna open up other things for yourself.
02:12 And so, it was an opportunity for us to go out and we executed a little bit better
02:17 in each area and we were able to create more explosives and
02:21 that always leads to more points.
