Yeah. I mean, obviously it's not like our favorite to be in that kind of position, but you know, that's the NFL. We're gonna be playing games like this, and you know, for us to be able to pull together as a team, defense, gonna stop offense, moved the ball, and then special teams finish. It feels good to finish it out. Obviously there's some stuff that we all like to clean up, but to come down here and and off our buy and get a win is huge. Yeah.
I mean, we just sort of hit on all the components of the game and and you know, Kyle telling us what the difference is with you know, offense. In the first half we had opportunities to go and score and and then you know, second half we were on but we still have to capitalize and finish. And then some special teams mishaps and stuff like that that that happened throughout the game. But at the end of the day, we took care of the ball and we were able to finish as a team at the end, which is
what matters in the NFL. So no, I was I knew he was gonna hit it, just who he is and what he's done for us. We've literally seen him, you know, hit some really big kicks in his career, and obviously that practice and stuff, we've seen what he's capable of. And so for him to be in that moment, you know, obviously I knew that he's the kind of guy that would learn from his kind of mistakes and and then when it mattered most finish, and that's what
he did. So obviously it's you know, we talk about the field goal range where we have to get to, and then after that it's you know, do my job, be smart, don't take a sack into two minutes, and you know, just take what the defense gets me and understand that we have one time out and just get completions and move the ball and be smart in that regard. So that's what was going through my mind, going through my progressions, keeping its simple as possible, and you know,
just trying to execute throw and catch. His first game, just having his impact on the game, I think it was awesome just what he can do, you know, running the ball and then coming out of the backfield. In our past game, you know, we had multiple plays with him, you know, out of the backfield that were some big plays throwing the ball, and then you know, for defenses, man, they have to scheme that up. You know, they have to acknowledge him, which can open up some other guys.
And I thought at the end we had one on one opportunities where he saw Ricky piersall winning and and uh just there's guys that are now one on one and can win matchups. And so for us as an offense, we know that. And but more than anything, man, just seeing how gritty and uh tough he is, we're like, you know, we get behind him. We're like, he inspires us and and he keeps us, you know, all sort of going and lights that fire in our huddle. So
it's a huge having him in there. You're number four. Yeah, definitely felt out of rhythm, you know, to start the game, and you know, not really sure what it was, but I do know second half, I just told myself that, all right, do just go out and compete and rip it, don't hesitate. And you know, I thought second half we all did that. You know, the guys were open. I didn't hold back, and then we just try to stay ahead of the chains and move the wall and keep
it simple. And so that was the biggest part. And understand that's it's a four quarter game for a reason. You know, what happens early on cant affect you right now in the present. So that was my mindset, and and I thought we were all able to finish pretty well as a team. All right, thanks guys, we gotta go right here. We got Richie's well
