<v Speaker 2>that Nick? Uh? Nick has played well, but he hasn't

0:00:23.320 --> 0:00:25.720

<v Speaker 1>for a little bit and we were able to show

0:00:35.920 --> 0:00:38.000
<v Speaker 1>up in the stat sheet today. But Nick's been playing

0:00:38.040 --> 0:00:43.280
<v Speaker 1>great all year. You know whatever, Uh, the criticism, you

0:00:43.280 --> 0:00:46.200
<v Speaker 1>know that comes with getting a big contract. But Nick

0:00:46.240 --> 0:00:48.360
<v Speaker 1>has been dominant in the past hand run game.

0:00:48.880 --> 0:00:49.000

0:00:54.320 --> 0:00:56.080
<v Speaker 1>that all year. Lawren's has been one of the quickest

0:00:56.120 --> 0:00:57.840
<v Speaker 1>this year of getting the ball out and you mentioned

0:00:57.840 --> 0:00:59.400
<v Speaker 1>when he's homing it a little bit today. What what

0:00:59.440 --> 0:01:01.720
<v Speaker 1>was working and was able to make that were really

0:01:01.800 --> 0:01:03.800
<v Speaker 1>tying the front and the coverage. Uh, you know the

0:01:03.840 --> 0:01:06.280
<v Speaker 1>guys on the back end were you know, we were

0:01:06.360 --> 0:01:08.920
<v Speaker 1>disguising things. We were you know, mixing it up, and

0:01:09.680 --> 0:01:12.119
<v Speaker 1>that allowed us, you know, guys being sticky in coverage

0:01:12.120 --> 0:01:16.280
<v Speaker 1>allowed us that extra hitch and you know, confusing him

0:01:16.280 --> 0:01:18.560
<v Speaker 1>and uh, you know, once we were confused him, you

0:01:18.560 --> 0:01:21.000
<v Speaker 1>know he was looking to to scramble and you know

0:01:21.040 --> 0:01:22.720
<v Speaker 1>our job was to keep him in the pocket and

0:01:22.720 --> 0:01:23.240
<v Speaker 1>get him down.

0:01:23.319 --> 0:01:24.760
<v Speaker 2>Do you see any changing him? It was cause you

0:01:24.760 --> 0:01:26.759
<v Speaker 2>guys got a coupled right off the bat on third down.

0:01:26.760 --> 0:01:28.600
