00:00 No, I felt like I was able to protect myself.
00:08 I was planting in the ground pretty well, reaching for all my cuts.
00:12 And yeah, I thought it went pretty well for the most part.
00:15 How was the extra week come with just getting used to the race?
00:18 Yeah, it was nice.
00:19 Just like I mentioned to you before, just honing in on my reps that I was taking, just
00:25 making the most of those, but also spending a lot of time in the training room, just trying
00:28 to make the thing feel better.
00:30 What makes you guys so dangerous in the red zone, do you think?
00:33 You guys are number three offense in the red zone, but they're number three defense too,
00:36 so obviously important matchup there.
00:38 What makes you guys so particular in the red zone, I think?
00:41 I think it's the volume of players that we have that can get into the end zone.
00:44 Obviously a great duo in David and Jameer, the one-two combo there.
00:49 You know, the St. Josh-Leaf combination.
00:53 You know, the tight ends, I feel like are always great in the red zone, the bigger bodies.
00:57 So we certainly have a lot of people that are able to get into the end zone and just
01:01 spread the ball around.
01:02 I noticed that Snead was floating around for head coaching interviews.
01:03 Just what has it been like working with him this season?
01:09 He's phenomenal, an absolute...
01:10 Man, he's just so creative, he's such an intellect.
01:14 Just being able to learn the game from him as a young guy in this league, it's just a
01:19 tremendous opportunity for me to work with Ben.
01:21 And if he moves on, that's great for him.
01:23 You know, every man for themself.
01:25 You just got to do what's best for him and his family.
01:28 So it's been great to learn from him and continue to progress through the rest of the season.
