Speaker 1: terms of blocking and catching down fields and and the

16
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 1: various roles that you could play. UM. I'm just I mean,

17
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:01,720

20
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:09,679
Speaker 1: and to get downfield and get open um in the

21
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 1: passing game. And that's what I'm gonna do. I'm just

22
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:13,680
Speaker 1: coming in. I find ways to get better, um, and

23
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:19,240
