00:00 hang on to some momentum after that. >> How about Julio's touchdown catch?
00:03 How often do you work that play, the Julio touchdown catch that gave you the lead?
00:06 >> You know what?
00:07 A lot of credit to Julio and Jalen.
00:11 They worked that play, that play went in on Friday.
00:15 Some red zone plays go in on Thursday, some red zone plays go in on Friday.
00:18 You kinda do a little bit of both.
00:20 And when that play went in on Friday, we had so much conviction in it,
00:25 because Julio and Jalen had so much conviction in it.
00:28 And they worked the crap out of it.
00:30 So I think we ran it twice in practice, the first one we missed,
00:33 the second one we hit.
00:34 And in between us missing that, they must have thrown it 15 times.
00:39 I mean, again, I'm watching the defense at practice, but
00:43 that's what Kevin Petullo and Brian Johnson told me.
00:45 This play's ready.
00:46 They worked the crap out of it.
00:48 And I love when, like Jeff's question,
00:52 when something works out because the way the guys have worked.
00:55 These guys have got to these spots because they're highly talented, and
00:58 they've worked their butts off.
01:00 And then to be able to see that in the progression of practice,
01:02 we'll use that for the entire time I'm here as, hey, look how important practice is.
01:08 Look how important the process is.
01:10 Look how important it is to be on the same page.
01:12 So I'm going on about that because I thought it was awesome,
01:15 because they worked tirelessly on that Friday practice to get that thing ready.
