00:10 >> Yeah, I think it's very important.
00:12 Obviously, our goal is to win the division.
00:14 And but more importantly, I believe it's the way we finished.
00:18 I think that's gonna be more lasting going into these next ballgames.
00:23 And like I said, the proof's right there.
00:26 We've been doing a lot of good things on offense, defense, and kicking.
00:30 And it's good to win a tight one like this.
00:32 Where we had some adversity at the end, I had to pull through that adversity with
00:36 those two fumbles and come together with the last defensive series and
00:40 the last offensive two minute drive.
00:43 Yeah, you need that.
00:45 In that moment, you need it.
00:46 We only really needed 15, 18 yards to make it nice in terms of our kick line there.
00:52 But obviously, when you get that big chunk there, it kind of seals the deal there.
00:57 And DJ runs a beautiful one cut.
01:00 He's a great route runner.
01:01 And the way he played today, the way he took a lot of those short passes, and
01:06 take him for eight, nine yards at a time, and those aren't easy.
01:10 And he's a heck of an athlete and a better teammate.
01:13 Obviously, we would like to capitalize on those, right?
01:15 And that's what momentum is.
01:16 When you get those takeaways on defense, momentum is created there.
01:22 And the momentum is either finished there by the defense returning it
01:26 into a scoring zone or scoring themselves, or the offense getting that takeaway and
01:32 then moving it into a scoring zone.
01:34 And we have to do a better job of that.
01:36 We have to capitalize on those.
01:38 And that's gonna be a big part of our success going forward.
01:42 Yeah, I mean, you got all those guys up and they're all a threat to come, right?
01:45 So you have to be mindful of that.
01:47 And you have to have a ways to get the ball in the perimeter or
01:51 into the second level of the field.
01:55 And we didn't hit some of those today, but
01:58 we're certainly looking to get more of those.
02:00 Yeah, I really didn't get a full explanation on that.
02:03 I mean, I'm curious to see what they do say about that.
02:09 But clearly his face mask was off and we pleaded our case, it just didn't work out.
