00:00 >> Well, first of all, I know that he can make them all the time.
00:02 I see him doing in practice.
00:03 In offseason, he works at him, just making special catches.
00:07 He's a special player, he's one of the best in the game.
00:10 Cortland's been dedicated to the game, his craft, his practice every day.
00:14 His leadership is unbelievable.
00:15 He's one of the best guys to be around as a teammate.
00:19 So when he makes special catches, I already know he,
00:22 I just try to put in a place where only he can get it.
00:24 And sure enough, he gets it every time.
00:27 I think the thing about Samadji is he brings so much confidence in the field.
00:30 He's a guy who's physical as can be, he's got great hands.
00:34 He runs the ball extremely well for us.
00:36 He's a ball player, he's a playmaker, man.
00:38 We got great playmakers in the backfield, obviously with Javante and
00:42 Jaleel and Samadji.
00:43 But the thing about Samadji, he's been around great offenses.
00:47 Obviously, in Cincinnati, he was around Joe and the guys.
00:52 And he knows how to get first downs, he knows how to make plays,
00:55 he knows how to get in the end zone.
00:56 So, great confidence in him.
00:57 I think we're making our plays in crucial moments.
01:02 And I think just staying on schedule,
01:04 that first down play is really critical that we're not going backwards.
01:08 And I think that's the big thing about the red zone, just staying going forward.
01:12 And so I'm not worried about it.
01:14 I think we got a really good team down there.
01:17 I think we can score some points.
01:18 I think the best thing about it though is that there's room to improve.
01:21 And I think that's where our mindset has to be is incremental gains every week.
01:27 We wanna get better, especially as the season goes on.
01:29 The way our defense is playing, we love it.
01:32 They're stopping getting turnovers and everything,
01:35 it's giving us short field.
01:36 And we've played some really good teams over the past several weeks too.
01:38 They do some good things down there in the red zone.
01:40 And so I think for us, to be able to capitalize on the red zone,
01:45 it gives us the best chance to win.
01:46 >> Russ, you- >> Yeah,
01:48 every opportunity is a huge moment for us.
01:50 And it's just another moment that we wanna collectively be together on and
01:54 be ready to play our best football game.
01:56 It's all about winning.
01:57 It's about winning.
01:58 It's about the opportunity to rise to the occasion every week, weekend in,
02:01 week out.
02:02 I think we look forward to it.
02:04 We got great confidence in who we are, what we're doing, where we're going.
