00:00A lot of guys touched the football and contributed, and it was good, all around a good day.
00:07You were specifically pretty good against the Blitz today.
00:10Did you anticipate the look you were going to get?
00:13Well, the long one to Eckler was a screen.
00:17It was kind of a screen where we had a screen and a pass option,
00:22and they just gave us a perfect look for it.
00:25So that was a great heck of a call by Shane, among many other great calls by Shane.
00:30And then, yeah, a couple of looks we anticipated,
00:33but then some of the other ones, it was just get it to the guy that was hot.
00:36You know, Melvin on the swing was just with the hot read on that one,
00:39and the guys up front did a heck of a job of handling their front.
00:43I got hit a few times.
00:44That's part of it when you're going against that front,
00:46but really only the one sack, which was early on the third and long,
00:49and it was nothing's there, even if something –
00:52I'd call it a coverage sack more than anything.
00:55They may have came free a little sooner, but I didn't have anywhere to throw it.
00:58It was just eat it there.
01:00It was good.
01:01You know, obviously the run, the start of the game,
01:03and the first drive was awesome.
01:04You know, we scored three plays,
01:05and then we scored two plays right before the two-minute
01:08and then get another opportunity there.
01:10We scored ten points in a minute, I think, or a minute and whatever it was.
01:14A minute and 40, so that was huge.
01:17It was a fun day, a fun day.
01:20Again, we've shown spurts of this this year, you know.
01:23I filmed the ball the same way this year.
01:26I just had some of the critical turnovers, you know, and some other misses.
01:30But, you know, we've shown spurts of this.
01:33We were more consistent today and didn't have the negative plays.
01:38And obviously the explosive plays helped, and the defense was great.
01:41So it was a solid day.
