00:03 Everything that we predicted is still in front of them.

00:06 It just is a little tougher now cuz your margin for error is erased.

00:10 There have been times when I thought the offense was better than I thought it was

00:13 going to be.

00:15 Last couple weeks, it's taken a big step back.

00:17 So it's just, how's it gonna be moving forward?

00:20 That's really the key for me.

00:22 The receiving core to me has been a disappointment from what my

01:04 loose, but they did that on Saturday.

01:06 And what I said last night in the show, Ryan, upon further review is,

01:12 >> Yep.

01:13 >> I hope this becomes more of a, now you'll need to tailor it to who you're
