00:09 >> Yes, safety came down, Robert coverage, he's just going on one, he had a beat.
00:14 And I think he just misjudged the ball, he was running straight and
00:18 then I think he tried to run a little bit like that and got off balance a little bit.
00:22 And that's what caused him to kind of lose his speed.
00:24 So he's a young player with a bright future in this league and
00:29 he'll be good about that.
00:30 >> Yeah, I mean, they all saw I was about to get into my check down.
00:32 I was about to go check it down and right when I did,
00:36 that's my dad on my hands.
00:38 >> Yeah.
00:39 >> It was a read option and I just handed it off.
00:43 And that was just the plan to be honest with you.
00:46 But I mean, yeah, the DN takes the running back, then I'm on the edge.
00:52 And if he plays me, then I'm taking him away from the runner and
00:56 hopefully another defender.
00:58 So yeah, I mean, that's just what we have in the game plan.
01:01 And of course, I think he did a good job on the ground running the ball.
01:03 O-line did a heck of a job in the right game, protecting our game.
01:07 >> Throughout the game.
01:07 >> I mean, yeah, just the front, they have different fronts out of different
01:11 personnel.
01:11 So I think they were embassed on that one and when they're embassed at five down
01:14 linemen, which automatically makes the DN wider.
01:16 But yeah, I think he got disrupted.
01:18 But yeah, that was for sure a good read.
01:20 Cuz if I'm getting any option 50/50, I'm gonna do it.
01:25 So yeah, that was a good read.
01:28 That's how you do it.
01:30 Jared Goff, he does a great job not turning the ball over in the way our
01:34 defense was able to create takeaways was big for us.
01:39 And as an offense, we gotta of course, turn those into touchdowns rather than
01:43 field goals or no points at all.
01:44 But I mean, yeah, that's kinda how you keep the morale up.
01:47 We know who we are.
01:49 We know what kind of team we are.
01:50 And we just gotta be better.
01:51 We just gotta finish.
01:52 And like I said, when those big moments happen, when we need those big plays,
01:55 got to execute.
