00:02 For Justin, really no change.
00:20 He's doubtful for this week.
00:23 Working with trainers, continues to progress.
00:26 He's just not there yet.
00:28 Bajent will be our starter.
00:30 Until that time he is cleared.
00:33 So we're squared away.
00:35 - I'm Matt.
00:36 - Tyson did a good job of operating the offense.
00:39 And my hat's off to Getze and also to Junoko.
00:42 Those guys did a really good job there
00:44 of preparing those guys.
00:45 And really Justin, as I said yesterday,
00:48 did a wonderful job of helping him
00:51 during the course of the week,
00:52 during the game, halftime,
00:54 and just the whole week.
00:57 And he did a really good job.
00:58 Like most about it, it was,
00:59 I think it was nine different targets
01:01 that he had with our football team
01:03 and putting it to the skill.
01:04 So we want to definitely continue to do that.
01:07 And that was really positive.
01:08 Again, you can win a lot of different ways.
01:12 And every week's different.
01:13 And we'll find a way to,
01:16 during the next couple of days,
01:17 what's going to work this week.
01:19 He's a rhythm and a timing passer.
01:21 And he's got all the abilities.
01:23 - Yeah, must be those 7,000 passes
01:25 he's thrown in his life.
01:26 But yeah, I think that he's got a good knack for that.
01:31 He really does.
01:32 He understands the play design.
01:33 He understands where it's supposed to go
01:35 and he gets rid of it in a timely fashion.
01:37 And even when it was off schedule,
01:39 in terms of the pressure,
01:40 he was able, because he's athletic enough
01:42 to be able to evade.
01:44 And he had that nice scramble
01:45 on the first touchdown.
01:46 So he's able to do those things
01:48 and that's his skill set.
01:50 And Dennis did a nice job with stat.
01:53 I guess a lot of stats thrown at me a bunch of times,
01:55 but the first down of the series,
01:58 if that's a positive four plus play,
02:01 your ability to score there goes up dramatically.
02:05 And having positive plays on your first downs within
02:09 are so huge and not getting behind.
02:11 And that to me is what really stuck out to me.
02:14 And that's what efficiency is, right?
02:16 You don't get a holding penalty that puts you back.
02:19 (upbeat music)
