00:00 >> I think it was both, they're a man, feel like it was a really good route for him.
00:04 He's a great route runner, good separation.
00:05 I just wanna give him a chance to convert on third down.
00:08 It was great to have him back.
00:09 I think you saw the effects that have having him and
00:12 George out there on both sides and kind of moving guys inside and out.
00:15 They're two tough guys to cover.
00:17 >> What kind of a group did you feel like you guys were in that fourth quarter,
00:20 those two drives?
00:21 >> Playing the type of football we wanna play.
00:23 That's what we've been working towards.
00:24 And I think the run game balanced the pass game really well.
00:27 It was kind of everything that we've been working towards,
00:30 you started to see it in that fourth quarter there, it was good to see.
00:32 >> We've seen this all year, where you've struggled a little bit for
00:34 three quarters and that are outstanding in the fourth.
00:38 Can you explain that?
00:40 >> Yeah, just playing football, man.
00:41 I mean, it's not gonna be smooth all the time.
00:43 They got a pretty good defense.
00:44 They were getting after us a little bit in the pass game, getting some hits and
00:49 I was trying to get the ball as fast as I could.
00:50 But I think it just over time, wearing down in the run game,
00:54 how the pass came out, we gotta keep having that balance.
00:57 >> What do you think of your offensive line's job?
01:01 >> They did a great job, great job.
01:03 We had a goal of not letting him wreck the game.
01:06 Trying to do everything we can of sliding guys and doubling him,
01:10 getting four hands on him as many times as possible, if not all the time.
01:13 So that was a goal of ours.
01:16 I think those guys did an unbelievable job.
01:17 >> Is that the same way with the first three guys you faced, Karate, Bucks?
01:20 >> We have some experience in it.
01:22 We've played some pretty good pass rushers, man.
01:24 It doesn't get easier.
01:26 We go against, I think, the best every day in practice.
01:29 So it's good to have 90 on our side to help us give those looks of what we should do
01:34 and how we should plan when you're going against guys that can wreck the game and
01:39 can change the game as a pass rusher.
01:41 >> Mike talked about- >> How about the play he made to start
01:43 the second half?
01:44 >> Sparked us.
01:45 >> Started the game?
01:45 >> Yeah, he just does what he does.
01:46 And he always says it takes one play to spark it.
01:49 And majority of the time it's him making the plays.
01:52 And hell of a leader, hell of a player, got us going.
01:55 Glad we got in the end zone there.
01:57 And then finished out in the fourth quarter, staying on the field,
01:59 which I was proud of.
02:00 That was something that we didn't do earlier in the season.
02:02 But it's being a four minute drill, finish on the field and
02:06 let our defense kind of sit and relax on the sideline.
02:08 That's what we wanted, so that was good.
