Yeah. Yeah, all right, that's this fast, this fast game, especially in the second half over time, did you really start to feel everything click with the offense and also the tempo was running at tendas. Yeah. Yeah, I think we got into a pretty good rhythm there in the second half, and you know, kind of like I talked about after the game, I felt like that was really one of the first times all year where we played
at the tempo that we wanted to. You know, we played fast, We put a lot of pressure on the defense. You know, we had both the run game in the past game going in that second half, and we're balanced and playing fast like that. That's what we want to do. When you see the running game, especially over the last couple of weeks, maybe the last four weeks, do you see defenses now having to really respect it and that helps you with play action, It opens up a lot
of games. Yeah. Absolutely, you know, when we can get the run game going, you know, we got a lot of different ways you know that we can compliment that in the past game, whether it be some of our play action, some of the bootleg stuff where I get outside the pocket, but um, you know, it really makes it tough defense when they have to play the run and they know that we're going to try to run the ball at them. For you personally, especially just the
way it happened the last second. Um, as far as giving you actual help in your step profidence the rest of the same time, UM, yeah, really no, I mean obviously, like I said after the game, I thought it was a great team win, you know, more than myself. Um,
you know, hopefully it sparks our team. Hopefully it gives us momentum going into the second half of the year, and it's something that we can build on about when people have asked you about the slow starts, about what we get our second breath, we get, we figure out what they're doing, and we we dial up the right place. Obviously the second half was a great example of that. Is there any way you can take that start to
get you know, not half to wait till halftime. We would love to do that, Yes, you know, obviously, UM, you know, slow starts or something that we've kind of battle all year, and uh, you know, we were able to overcome it last Sunday, but you know that's not always going to be the case. And obviously we'd like to come out and start fast. You know, and play the way we did in the second half of the whole game. So you know, that's something we're working towards.
You know, hopefully it's something you know that we can get done. But it's the same theme. I mean, you seem slightly different things each week from the other guys that forced the slow starts until you guys can kind of figure out what. Um, yeah, I'm not really sure exactly what it is. You know, I think one of our biggest strengths this year has been able or has been being able to go into halftime talk about what
we're seeing and make the proper adjustments. You know. I've been on teams where you know you can't make the adjustments and it's the same story for the whole game. But you know, we've been able to go in, kind of regroup, come back out and execute. Obviously we'd like to be able to do that for four quarters. I feel like one of the first times you guys got the off times, gun and all fast to kind of follow the past and run game all of it together.
Uh yeah, I think so. Um how much cofference does that give you when you're gone forward guys and kind of pollow about other Yeah, Um, you know, I think it gives me a lot of confidence. And I think just from talking to some of the other guys after the game and this week, you know, I think we all know that we're capable of that, and it's something
that we're trying to do more consistent. Um. You know, but like I said after the game, it was really nice knowing that we had a great week of practice last week for it to translate and come together like it did in the game. Um. Yeah, if we could do that every week, I think we've been pretty good. Chicken talked about in the meetings and everywhere else about
slow starts. Is there anything that the coaches we're doing differently or the players are doing differently, or preparation to the trading week just likes to call it to try to change it, or anything you do different practice to try to change the Dum. I'm not really sure if
there's anything you can do in practice, you know. I think the biggest thing is just execution, you know, when we get out there in the first half, regardless of what type of defense we see regardles so what they throughout us, We've got to be able to go out there and execute it and get ourselves going the way.
Transfer on your frozen and insist and you haven't really underploding the ball much there before and after with uh, yeah, you know, I think you know something that me and Coach Day talked about, something that you know, both him and I noticed, you know, just from watching some of the game tape and some of the practice tape, and you know, we've drilled it a lot out here in practice the past couple of weeks, and I think it's something that has paid off Chip him explaining his confidence
and you said, used to some analogies about a half of the movie and that you you just needed to become more and more familiar with this. That has not really been your theme in terms of explaining things away. Do you feel way more familiar right now and whatever week it is than you did with this offense than two weeks to agree? Yeah, I mean yeah, I think said along. The more you do something, you know, the more reps you get, you know, the better you feel.
And that's you know, kind of how this process has gone for me. You know, the more I've been out there, the more reps I've seen, the different looks I've seen from the defenses again, certain plays the more comfortable, Um, you know, I feel running this offense, and I think we hear all the time the games slowed down for do you feel the game was slowing down for you part of the BA I think in a way, you know,
probably a little bit. Just I think, you know, in the past couple of weeks, we've kind of found what we're good at, you know, some past concepts, some things that I'm comfortable with, that we're comfortable with, you know, we've just kind of repped those, We've gotten good at those. You know, we're going to go run those plays on Sunday. And I think, you know, maybe for a while it was just finding what it is this offense this year, what we're going to be good at, and what we're
going to attack people with the team win. But you feel maybe a little extra good this week for Jordan Matthews, who um struggling a little bit of some jobs and even quite you know, questioned a little bit himself last week, and then for him to have the juice game and have it off of the touchdown. Yeah yeah, I told you guys after the game, I've never seen anyone work
harder than he did. Last week in practice and for him to go out and play the way he did, you know, I don't think it surprised any of us, And you know, I don't think it could have happened to a better guy. And I know him, you know that's not the end of him. I mean, he wants to come out and build on that, and he wants to play like that every week. And that's really what you like to see from a guy. Had you ever seen a guybody, you know, starting wide receiver team snaps
with the scout team like Jordan mad last week? You know, I think I've seen it where you know, a coach maybe grabs a guy for one play, Hey can we get you for this look? And you know, run a go or a post or something to give us a real look. But you know, I don't know if I've ever seen a starting wide receiver take every rep in the scout team. Said, there was a process you're kind
of petting familiar with. You guys don't work in the offense this year with this person, I was trimming the playbook part of that and kind of just look, even made plays that you felt comfortable with it, you felt better than than other plays. Maybe you earlier in the year. Yeah, I mean, I think that's kind of what I just said.
You know, it's just kind of going through figuring out, you know what I'm comfortable with, what we're comfortable with as a group, and you know, what's been successful, what have we done well? You know, what have we gained yards on? What have we not you know in firing out kind of where to go from there? Um, as
far as what as what's the tangible difference station? Um, yeah, I think the biggest thing for me has just been, you know, my ability to move in the pocket, you know, and get to the backside of some progressions, you know, whether it be the second, third or fourth guy. Um, you know, I feel much more comfortable doing that now as opposed I did earlier in the season. I think. So, you know, I think so just you know, knowing that I've taken shots this year, you know, I've gotten hit,
I've gotten back up, you know, nothing's affected me. Um, yeah, I think I just feel better with that each week was Spider right, there was something you had really ringing force? Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think that's uh, you know, one of the things I noticed earlier in the years. I mean my footwork
was just all over the place. And you know whether that's you know, being in a new offense, you know, trying to figure out, you know, the rhythm and the timing of certain plays, or just um, you know, just not having played football and you know, being out of rhythm. I don't know what it was, but you know, I feel like when my feet are under me and I'm
in rhythm, you know, good things happen. But you know, when my feet are bad and I'm out of rhythm, you know, that's when you see the under throws, overthrows, you know, throws too early, too late, things like that. The winning pass seemed to be an example of which you're just talking about. You stepped I don't know two winches forwarded just enough to throw the path at Hardy was taking penal just a little bit off, and you
end up like, look that's being and missing. Yeah. Is that something you think you when you look at that tape, Is that something you were doing now that maybe you would not have done earlier in the year when I don't know it just maybe. I mean, I don't know if that exact play something that I would or would not have done it, But I just say, my overallall overall comfort levels, you know greater. Now, what do you see from the going Ryan, as far as they're they're
back running the ball like these some weeks. Um, you know, those guys are just running hard. You know, they're running hard, they're getting downhill, they're making you know, the right cuts at the right time. Um. You know. But more than anything, I think the guys up front the past couple of weeks have done a great job blocking for him, giving them lanes, you know, giving them holes to hit. You know, I think it's kind of been a group effort to get the run game going a whole soon. Yeah. Um, yeah,
they're a good defense. You know, they're talented obviously, you know up front, you know they're front seven. You know, they're big, they're physical, they're fast. You know, they've got some guys on the interior that can make play. Is obviously with Sue. Um, you know, they do some things scheme wise that are a little different than what we've seen in the past couple of weeks. So you know it's it's gonna take a good effort from us to
get after them this week. All right, guys, thank you. Yeah, Yeah,
