definitely I think you know they they came with a game plan and and and it was working for them you know we only had I think like two three drives coming out of I think two drives coming out in the first half so you know they their plan was I don't think to let us touch the ball very much so granted we had some long drives but like I said like we have to be okay with four or five yards you know they were they were stacking box yeah I mean I wouldn't say it was just other game like I I would say it's just like to the return of myself you know to come back just it's a lot different than I think in Year's past I think you know last year I the way you know it was just so abrupt and you know it it definitely took a toll on me mentally so just to be out there again I don't really take anything for granted you know I think at this point in time I'm just going to play every game like this in my last can you walk us through the touchdown the extra yards I just I I just wasn't going to be denied basically you know I think how we included I think that's our mindset I think that you know we Fe off each other very well and I'm excited for year like I said watching film all week their goal was to stop the run so I you know not to say we wasn't expecting to break a big one of course you want to break a big one all the time but you got to be okay with the five yarders and then you know eventually you're going to bust one so I mean I think me and we we did a really good job of being okay with those four or five yard runs soz in a game like this where you do kind of have to be okay with that like you said you know it's kind of more methodical Run game how is it so beneficial to have guys like you and tawi that have played a lot of football and how do you guys kind of support each other in a little more slow paced game like that yeah I mean like like you said we played a lot of ball so you know you have to be okay with you know having that unblocked guy and free so you have to be okay with ver so I mean we me and we understand that pretty well so and you we feed feed off each other well you know come on the Seline what you see what you see like I think we could have did this so I think it's going to be really good
