119
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: a lot of work to do ahead of us. Um,

120
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 1: you know, there's a lot still out there for us,

121
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,360

123
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 1: hard to win this this league, um, as we've learned

124
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,200

126
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,599
Speaker 1: lot a lot still out there for us. Something changed

127
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:10,840
Speaker 1: the last two weeks. That's allowed your numbers to sort

128
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 1: of spite from you know, where they were. Um. Yeah,

129
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know if anything has changed.

130
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 1: I think it's just the way the games have worked out, UM,

131
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 1: and guys have stepped up and made a lot of plays. So, uh,

132
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 1: we'll continue to to take what the defense has given

133
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,720
Speaker 1: us and and uh just execute as well as we

134
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 1: can talk about where where the thought came in to

135
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 1: give the guys off Tuesday coach tables talk about how

136
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 1: typically you would have Monday often, but you gave him

137
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: Monday and Tuesday often. He said, he just went with it. Uh,

138
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 1: I don't know, it was Uh, there was a group decision.

139
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 1: I think you've walked off the field at times and

140
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 1: you've heard the crowd not be so kind. What was

141
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:55,280
Speaker 1: it like when you get the curtain call when you

142
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 1: walk off the field and it's like the chance of

143
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 1: Daniel when uh, yeah it beats beats the alternative for sure. UM.

144
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,760

146
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,360

147
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: as we have you know all years. Certainly some things

148
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 1: we can improve on. But um, you know, I thought,

149
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 1: you know, every guy did their job and and and

150
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,560

152
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 1: part of that. Daniel was the same player who committed

153
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 1: the personal foul on You've hit you on that touchdown

154
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 1: run right after that. Do you feel like it's part

155
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 1: of your responsibility as a quarterback to to be willing

156
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 1: to sacrifice your body on runs like that? Is that

157
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 1: part of your I guess commitment to the team to

158
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 1: to be able or willing to do that. Yeah? I think,

159
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I think, Uh, whenever you have a situation

160
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 1: too or an opportunity to score, score touchdown, you're gonna

161
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 1: do that, regardless of, um, you know, if you can

162
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 1: get hit or not. So, um, you know, I'll continue

163
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 1: to look and see where I can protect myself and

164
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 1: be smart in those situations. But you know, when I

165
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 1: have an opportunity to score, I'm definitely gonna try to

166
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 1: do that,
