00:00We look at the Lions and you know and may make a big deal about motions and stuff with these offenses
00:05How about when you deal with a team that's really good at play-action pass is it the the challenges that you have to?
00:12The I discipline things like that when you play against somebody like this, it's really good that way
00:17How does that does it change in any way for you? Or is it you know, how does that how does that work for you?
00:22yeah, you know, I think the
00:24The thing about play-action passes it has to be complemented with a good run game
00:28Which is you know, you you is what we're dealing with, you know, they have a good they have good complimentary football
00:34offense, so it's like
00:37When you see when you see a couple runs hit a couple runs hit and then the play-action off the same kind of look
00:42that's when you you see a lot of success and you see time, you know, it's more like timing throws and like
00:48You know, they get the look they want right away and it's no it's no wasted movement. You're moving the chains
00:53You're moving the you know, you're moving the you know
00:55The distance markers up and it's like that's when they get in a rhythm. That's what we don't want
00:59You know, we want we want to we want to get those stops on first and second down, you know
01:03We want to get the third down
01:04we want to get them in shotgun and and make it more manageable for us that way we can start playing our game and
01:09You know, that's that's the key
