00:00You know, emotions are good right now, you know, it was a must win. It was a must, like, must win. We needed it and hopefully we can keep stacking.
00:08Is it a weight off your shoulders to get that first win?
00:11Oh, yeah, for sure, man. Especially when you start 0-3. You know, nobody wants to start 0-3, so, definitely.
00:17You relied heavily on you in this game, especially in the first half. What was leading to that strategy?
00:25Yeah, man, it was just a lot of stop routes and, you know, Joe was able to find me, so.
00:29What about Jamar's 63-yard touchdown? What did you think of the way he broke that one off?
00:35He broke two. And he broke two tackles right there and then I was just like, man, come follow me.
00:40And I watched the video. Jamar fast as hell. But, man, proud of him. Needed that when he made it. So, yeah, proud of him.
00:52Why do you feel like this was a must win?
00:54I mean, we was 0-3, man. We needed to win. You know, it's getting on our feet now. We just got to keep stacking.
00:58The offense has increased the point total every game now. Do you feel like you guys are cooking the way that you anticipated?
01:05Yeah, offense is playing well, but we're still not at the best of our ability, you know.
01:10I feel like we can do a lot more and we're looking forward to doing that.
01:14Zach talked about how the wide receivers are really buying into the run game and helping out in that.
01:18What is the mindset? Because there really seems to be an emphasis on the run game.
01:21Oh, yeah. Frank's on our ass about it. Today, I feel like we really stuck our nose in the box today.
01:27Chase had a good block. Andre had a good block. Myself had a good block.
01:30So, that's what we're looking for. Just get those guys going in the backfield.
01:35Get those guys going in the backfield and just keep pushing and keep fighting.
01:38When Jamar has a team like that, what do you think that does for him?
01:41It's like one of those plays he had at 21.
01:43Yeah, do nothing but just juice him up even more and want to keep going.
01:46So, I'm glad it happened and hopefully keep stacking him.
