00:00You know, in that moment, didn't have enough tempo, you know, getting the guys lined up,

00:10them seeing, you know, my urgency, and I was moving pretty, like I was moving well, but

00:16not, you know, as urgent as I should have, understanding the situation.

00:21At the end of the game, I also could have understood the situation a little bit better,

00:28right then and there of the play call.

00:31I thought when we called that last play, it was a no-huddle play that we wanted to get

00:36lined up, and I saw the clock winding down, and, you know, wanted to try to take a shot

00:42at the end zone, because I was expecting it to be our last play right in that moment,

01:09something that will help me in the future.

01:11Having these situational moments that, you know, you can't, it's hard to rep in practice.

01:22people being promoted and, you know, things like that all happening within, you know,

01:27a couple weeks of each other, yeah, I think it would have helped me in the long run, being

01:34able to handle all of this, handle, you know, this first year, and being able to grow from

01:40it.
