00:00 Yeah, no, shoot, Jones and Juju on the corners,
00:02 I love those guys.
00:03 I think they're going to have a hell of a future
00:05 in this league and they play physical,
00:07 they play hard, it means something to them.
00:09 Obviously, Nick Cross back there is doing a heck of a job.
00:12 It was a good all around victory, obviously, for everybody.
00:16 - What did you think of Ronnie Harrison
00:17 stepping into a different position another week
00:20 and what he was able to give you guys?
00:21 - Yeah, no, it was great to see that.
00:23 You know, playing linebacker
00:24 and then playing on the back end too as well.
00:25 That's where he really played a lot in college
00:28 and been in that position, obviously,
00:29 in the NFL too as well.
00:30 So it was great to see him switch that role a little bit
00:33 and credit to Milo and those guys getting him ready.
00:35 - You know, getting back to that,
00:37 Marlon, two of his biggest players were the Puma recovery
00:39 and then the defensive pass interference.
00:41 So what was it like just having him in there
00:42 and helping you get those margins to win?
00:45 - Yeah, no, it's huge to have a player back like that.
00:47 Anytime you got a really, really good player like Pitt
00:50 back out there, it's huge.
00:51 And obviously you can tell just his presence
00:53 being out there helps our football team.
00:54 - What did you see on the deep ball to Alec
00:56 that led that play to be successful?
00:58 - There in a zero look, no deep safeties
01:00 and something we saw on tape that, shoot,
01:02 if it was zero like that, we got a chance to run over top.
01:04 We got to max it up and we got the look
01:06 and shoot, Gardner made a heck of a play
01:08 stepping into that throw
01:09 and then just leading Alec across the field.
01:11 You know, Nolan was over there and, you know,
01:13 catching it in stride to go score was huge.
