00:00 >> They all present their own challenges.

00:03 We're obviously being smart about it and being prepared and which ways you get in

00:08 stadium, you say, okay, which way is the wind blowing?

00:11 What this quarter, that quarter, what are some of the advantages we can take of

00:15 having the wind at our back versus not having it at our back in the game?

00:18 Those are all things that go into the process,

00:21 particularly when you're in stadium.

00:23 But however it works out, we have to find a plan that's gonna help us be

00:28 effective in moving the ball.

00:31 >> When Mason threw that deep ball to Deontay,

00:33 did that kind of give you guys some confidence that even in bad elements,

00:37 he'd get the job done?

00:38 >> Yeah, it was more of an intermediate thought.

00:40 We were running a high-low on that defender over there, and

00:44 Tay turned short to long.

00:47 It was more that, you know what I mean?

00:48 And so those are the things I think the question might have been just asked.

00:52 Those are the things you really wanna take advantage of.

00:54 If you can minimize risk and throw the ball short, and

00:59 then those guys can run long, and you get explosive plays that way.

01:01 Whether it be backs out of the backfield on screens or swings or running slants or

01:06 hitches to our receivers or whatever it may be.

01:08 And those guys can catch the ball and advance it.

01:11 You're living pretty good in those kind of weather circumstances like we faced last

01:15 week and we're gonna face this week.
