00:00 Shoot, man.
00:02 So actually, funny story, we're both from Mississippi,
00:03 like, 30 minutes apart, so, man,
00:06 I think it might have been after my first offseason,
00:08 like, we worked out together,
00:09 kind of for the first time back home.
00:11 I haven't done much since, but, man,
00:13 he's a guy that literally every week in practice
00:16 is, like, scout team player of the week, like, tears it up.
00:20 I mean, even when he got here in the preseason,
00:21 like, he came in for one game,
00:23 had, like, five catches, was super productive.
00:26 He's just one of those guys, like, he shows up
00:28 and makes plays, and, man, couldn't be more happy for him.
00:31 He had to drop in the end zone.
00:34 What was he like?
00:35 Obviously, you were confident going back to it.
00:37 It was the next throw, so. Yeah, no, he's down, man,
00:39 but I told him, I was like, dude,
00:40 we're coming right back to you.
00:41 That didn't change anything with me,
00:45 and, man, I'm just so happy for him,
00:46 like, getting in the end zone, scoring, you know.
00:49 That's awesome, seriously.
00:51 How big were all those scout team guys,
00:53 Goodson, Sermon, Montgomery today?
00:56 Huge, man. They were huge, and I'm happy for all of them, man.
00:59 Getting an opportunity in this league is not an easy thing,
01:01 and they made the most of it today, helped us win.
01:05 I don't think we would have went without them.
01:07 So, I mean, I think that's just a testament
01:09 to how they work week in, week out.
01:10 Like, we've been seeing that, you know,
01:12 in practice on scout team, whatever it is,
01:14 like, and we've had a lot of confidence in them,
01:16 so when it was time to roll, we were all ready for it.
