Transcript
00:00 >> And for the fourth and one play, what was your immediate reaction?
00:03 >> I was ready to go.
00:04 I'm always feel like I'm in the mindset to go make a play.
00:09 So when I heard that call, he doesn't necessarily have to give it to me on that
00:12 play, but I thought it might be the right look for it.
00:16 Just bearing the circumstances of them trying to stuff the line.
00:19 So man, what a play call.
00:22 You know, gotta give kudos to the offensive staff and
00:25 coach for believing in us on that.
00:29 We just went out there and executed, it was perfect.
00:31 >> When did you get the call that you were gonna go for it?
00:34 Was it when they sent the punt team out?
00:35 Was it during the timeout?
00:36 >> It was during the timeout after the punt team came out, yeah.
00:40 I think we tried to get them to jump off sides prior to that, and it didn't work.
00:44 So we decided to go for it, coming out of that timeout.
00:48 >> What was your reaction knowing you were gonna go for it?
00:50 I mean, you're backed up on your own 29.
00:51 I mean, it's pretty big moment to go for it there.
00:54 >> Definitely, definitely kind of a risky call.
00:56 But for me, every time we go for it, I'm like, okay, let's go get the first down.
00:59 That's what I think.
01:01 I don't got the mindset to, I will go for a fourth down and
01:04 like fourth and 25 and Madden sometimes.
01:06 So I don't care, I don't care.
01:08 I wanna go get the first down.
01:09 So I was excited and the offense was excited.
01:12 I think we knew we were gonna go execute.
01:14 >> For eight weeks, you guys have found a different way to win.
01:17 Is there any other ways you can do it?
01:19 >> Absolutely, yeah, absolutely.
01:20 There's definitely more ways we can win.
01:22 And we got a few more games to just do that.
01:26 So got some games ahead of us and we're gonna have to do the same thing.
01:29 So definitely.
01:32 >> So Panics had the option to hand a DJ there as well?
01:34 >> Yes, yep, yep, it's optional on that one, so.
