00:10 I thought he did a nice job, I mean, especially with having to lay over and
00:22 not playing ball for a little while.
00:24 Mentally dialed in, even leading up to that, like I said before,
00:29 two weeks prior to that he had a chance to play.
00:32 So he was dialed in and ready to roll.
00:34 So that part was really good.
00:35 But still, you're gonna get a really good football team and
00:38 then to be able to go out there and execute and play the way that they did.
00:42 I thought he gave us a chance to win for sure.
00:44 You always wanna factor in who people are.
00:46 That's always matchups are always kind of the starting point of our week,
00:50 when you're putting your plan together.
00:52 But the cool part about it was just the way that he processed it,
00:56 the way he communicated it, the way that he talked about why he did what he did,
00:59 and what he saw.
01:00 That's all real growth and stuff like that.
01:02 And he made a good throw.
01:04 His feet need to be cleaned up a little bit on that one.
01:07 In that moment, kind of felt, I think it was the left side,
01:09 that he kind of had to take a little extra hitch.
01:11 But at the same time, he was seeing everything clearly.
01:15 It made a good throw.
01:15 Yeah, that's not an exact science.
01:17 And thinking that my past and my history of doing this thing in this level and
01:23 the college level, there's no exact science to exactly how you tell that
01:27 quarterback to make the decision.
01:29 I think there's plenty of times throughout that game that you would say
01:32 that if you were coaching it, you would say, why did you keep that?
01:36 But sometimes it is, who's that person and who are you?
01:40 And you have to feel what you feel, right?
01:42 And I think from Justin's standpoint, he made the right decision.
01:46 We gotta execute the rest of the play a lot better next time.
