Obviously 89 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:21,040 Speaker 2: I wish I had some plays back, but that's part 90 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 2: of it. That's part of playing good teams in the playoffs, 91 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 2: and probably these guys for how we played, you know, 92 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 2: keeps on being a defense, picking us up when we 93 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,840 Speaker 2: need to and and special teams was huge.

And I think it's 170 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,360 Speaker 2: always something that is either funny or or helps the 171 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:36,280 Speaker 2: team and helps us win. 172 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:40,480 Speaker 3: Drake, congrats. I do want to ask you a little 173 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,120 Speaker 3: bit more about the weather if I could. There was 174 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 3: that drive where you had to touchdown past the steph 175 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 3: and in that drive it looked like you had a 176 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 3: better grip on the ball. Did something change with the 177 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 3: weather that like enabled you to do that throughout the game? 178 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:53,599 Speaker 3: I mean things seem to be better after that. 179 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 5: Yeah. 180 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 2: I think when the snowflakes, you know, stop, I think 181 00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 2: it's a little easier to throw the football, you got 182 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 2: a little better grip. But really I think you know, 183 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 2: you know, I think CJ probably say the saying we 184 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:04,560 Speaker 2: both had some throws that you know, it was tough. 185 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 2: You know, it's tough to get a grip on it. 186 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:07,920 Speaker 2: I think it's tough and warm up because you kind 187 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:09,159 Speaker 2: of get a field where the ball and touch the 188 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 2: ground and the guys are just passing it around with 189 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 2: each other and you know, pause. But uh, I think 190 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,680 Speaker 2: the biggest thing is you'll get back there with snow 191 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 2: and just you're having a good grip on it and 192 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 2: let it rip. But I think, uh, yeah, like I said, 193 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 2: you know, the weather is there is no excuse, but 194 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:24,920 Speaker 2: there's definitely times where the ball rolls around on the 195 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 2: ground with the center before the snap and it gets 196 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 2: a little wet, so it uh, it's definitely, uh, you know, 197 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 2: it's tough. 198 00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 5: But I feel we made enough throws, so thank you.
