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.
