00:03 Yeah, so that's a pressure that you have a guy drop underneath
00:20 there for the quick throw.
00:22 And you're overloading the pressure,
00:23 and you're expecting that to get home.
00:25 And like I said last night, he retreated back, right,
00:29 for a little bit deeper, and had a chance
00:32 to float it over the top.
00:33 And again, that was unfortunate.
00:35 Again, like I said, it's a play that's
00:37 designed to get the ball spit out fast, and tackle him,
00:41 and then get him to fourth out.
00:42 Yeah, I've been calling defenses for 12 years, 13 years now.
00:46 And every game, you have three or four that you want back.
00:50 So again, that one there, when it
00:52 doesn't work in a critical situation, of course,
00:55 you'd like to see it work in that situation, but it didn't.
