00:00 So I mean, give credit to Reed.
00:02 Obviously, that's a tough deal.
00:03 I've used that in the past before with safeties.
00:06 In my history, I've had to read a lot, communicate all that stuff to everybody.
00:11 But it's a hard deal.
00:12 You might be 30 yards away from the play, you're running back,
00:14 you're putting a lot of mileage on right there.
00:16 You're trying to get it communicated to the front and everybody else.
00:19 But certainly try to look for
00:21 just that continual voice that's gonna be on the field.
00:26 It can be a little bit difficult with that guy's on and off the field.
00:29 So you try and manage that the best and the consistency of Reed brought to it.
00:32 He did a really good job in the game.
00:34 That's not an easy thing to do.
00:36 But I give him credit for that.
