Transcript

00:00 Can you kind of break that down just what happened, what you saw?

00:03 >> Yeah, I mean, I was just in the mindset of making a play and

00:07 when you have that mindset going out there, good things happen.

00:09 So it's kind of, I have to go back to the film and see exactly what happened.

00:14 But I know I made a move on the ponder late and

00:17 then after that just seemed like I was running into the end zone.

00:20 So yeah.

00:23 >> And the touchdown down in the corner, can you kind of break that one down?

00:26 >> Yeah, so that was gonna be a seam.

00:28 So I was looking over my inside shoulder, cuz I thought the ball was gonna come up

00:32 over that shoulder, but I seen the departure of the ball,

00:34 Penix kind of threw it to the back of the end zone.

00:36 So it kind of flipped my eyes, the drill that we work with Shep all the time.

00:38 >> Did Rome make the decision harder for who's gonna return punts?

00:42 >> Yeah, I don't, him and J-Mac are gonna have to rock, paper,

00:45 scissors for it or something, we'll have to see.

00:47 But that just shows the type of talent we have.

00:52 With J-Mac does a great job back there and Rome, going back and

00:58 we have all the confidence in the world.

01:00 Obviously, with what he's done over the years in that type of a way,

01:04 ball is in his hands and you just know he's gonna catch it first of all.

01:09 And that's the last thing or the most important thing is that you know you're

01:13 gonna have possession and just turn a punt return into a touchdown.

01:19 It's fun, guys are definitely gonna keep blocking for both those guys, I know that.
