00:02 I thought Justin did a really nice job
00:09 with most, a lot of that stuff.
00:10 So a lot of it, what you see is like RPO-ish, right?
00:12 You know, they come up and they're bringing
00:13 all out pressure, so you have to have an answer.
00:15 And so, maybe a time or two he didn't need to do it
00:18 and then, you know, they were able to get
00:20 the leverage back to us.
00:21 But I'd say the majority of the time,
00:23 the guys in Mooney and EQ were unbelievable
00:25 on the perimeter there last weekend,
00:27 handling those blocks on the edges.
00:28 And so that was a really good answer to the run game
00:31 and the way that we handled that.
00:34 So, and then, you know, a few times we had opportunities.
00:37 I think there was three or four huge explosives
00:39 that we lost because we maybe,
00:41 whether there was a protection or whatever happened,
00:43 miscommunication from the backfielder up front
00:46 that we lost some opportunities there
00:48 to take advantage of that all out pressure.
00:50 So, hit the big one with Cole on that fourth and 10.
00:53 You know, that was really good.
00:55 Great to see Justin drift away from it too
00:56 to create the extra time.
00:58 And then Cole did the rest.
00:59 So, you know, some good stuff.
01:00 But they, like we've talked about before,
01:03 they bring a unique challenge to you
01:05 that you have to have a different plan
01:07 when there's eight guys on the line of scrimmage.
01:09 Maybe one or two that he thought something
01:11 and it really wasn't.
01:13 But for the most part, Justin did a really nice job
01:15 of diagnosing that stuff
01:16 and seeing what they presented to us.
01:18 And they do a great job of making everything look the same.
01:20 So whenever they presented it
01:22 and sometimes they got out of it,
01:23 we were still able to, you know, get that, out leverage them.
01:26 Like I said, Mooney and EQ did a great job last week.
01:29 There was two or three of those
01:30 that were really high level blocking on the outside
01:32 and got, and sprung DJ pretty good.
01:34 It became more extreme because there was more, you know.
01:37 I think that those weren't, you know,
01:39 at least half of those, you're not calling them to do that.
01:42 That's the reaction because of what you're presented.
01:44 And so, as you go through those type of game plans,
01:46 you want to have answers for your guys.
01:48 And whether you're changing to a max protection,
01:50 whether you're changing to a perimeter, you know,
01:52 RPO screen, whatever you want to refer to it as,
01:54 like those are all different ways
01:55 that we all, you know, whether it's Cole on the delay,
01:58 like all that stuff, there's a bunch of different ways
02:00 that you can attack it.
02:01 And I think it's really important when you play a team
02:03 that does that much,
02:05 that you don't have too much for your guys.
02:06 Whether it was Justin handling the protection adjustment
02:09 or whether it was the plan was, you know,
02:13 should have been able to give us that opportunity.
02:14 And then we just weren't able to connect
02:16 on a couple of those.
02:17 And that could have really, you know,
02:18 that and the two turnovers, you take those, you know,
02:21 completely different game for sure.
