00:00So the fake fumble, what could you share with us about it, how you saw it develop in practice
00:05this week and how we got to pulling this thing off?
00:08Yeah, we ran it, I don't even think I was in when we ran it, I think we did it on Wednesday.
00:14I didn't practice on Wednesday, but I mean it looked pretty good in practice on film
00:18and then I mean it was up for the game and we actually called it before, before we actually
00:25ran it we called it a time before but we didn't have the right look so we killed it and got
00:29to our run play and I mean knowing Ben, I knew he was going to come back to it so he
00:35came back to it, had the right look and so I knew the play was on, we're running the
00:41play and as soon as the ball was snapped I just hear the crowd go ooh, I'm like perfect,
00:44I mean everyone's thinking you probably fumbled it and then I look back and it's a touchdown.
00:49Some coaches would get laughed out of the room proposing an idea like that, what is
00:53it when Ben brings that to you guys, you guys think this actually might work?
00:56Yeah, I mean we think every play is going to work that he has, obviously you know Ben's
01:02smart, he's watching tape, tendencies, things that work, things that can't work and so almost
01:09all the plays that he draws up there's a reason behind it and there's intent behind it and
01:15we understand that and so any play that he draws up for us we're trying to execute so
01:20we can run in the game.
01:21Yeah it was a big win for us, you know we know the type of team we are, we know the
01:26guys that we have in this locker room, last week was tough but I mean I think the outside
01:32was more worried than actually us as a team was.
