00:06 Downloading the game plan and getting it down pat and limited field time and
00:12 limited full speed reps and knowing what the play's gonna look like
00:16 without being able to possibly rep it.
00:19 >> Yeah, we try to.
00:20 >> There's always wrinkles that you may not get to rep, but
00:23 you try to lean on stuff you do well, like Dan said, and
00:25 be able to play pretty freely out there.
00:28 >> Yeah, I mean, we believe in ourselves and our abilities.
00:30 And anytime there's enough time on the clock, we feel like we can go down and
00:34 score, and we did just that before the half.
00:36 >> How does that help set up for the two minute drives at the end of a game?
00:39 >> Yeah, it's huge.
00:40 And that's kind of where we had the majority of our success on offense on
00:44 Sunday and being able to come into that fourth quarter two minute drive with
00:49 a little bit of confidence from the end of the half two minute drive was big.
00:52 Yeah, they're always hard.
00:52 We know each other so well and
00:54 a lot of the players have played against each other for a few years now.
00:57 A lot of the coaches have coached against each other.
00:58 So you know tendencies, you know what they're trying to do and
01:01 they know the same about us.
01:02 So they're always hard, the division ones are always hard.
01:04 This one will be no different.
01:06 And they're a good team.
01:06 They're a good team.
01:07 They're getting healthy and doing a good job.
01:09 Yeah, it's always fun.
01:10 I always say it's fun because we're the first game.
01:13 The later game, you get to miss Thanksgiving dinner.
01:15 That wouldn't be fun.
01:16 But we're the first game, so we get to eat later that night and
01:19 get to play in front of the whole country and
01:21 while everyone's with their family enjoying some time and it's fun.
01:24 When the game starts, nothing really feels different.
01:26 I think the build up to it is a little exciting, but our guys handle it well.
01:30 We've handled it well all year and the big moments and expect to do that again.
