00:04 >> How are we doing?
00:06 >> Good.
00:07 >> Yeah. >> Can you talk about the issues in the red zone and
00:09 why you feel like at time you guys were struggling just to get the ball in there?
00:13 >> Yeah, I think when you go back and look at certain things,
00:16 obviously you wanna put our guys in the best position.
00:18 And sometimes they make a play, but
00:20 obviously we have to do a better job looking at what we're doing.
00:23 You know what I mean?
00:23 Whether it's the situation where we're running it or throwing it.
00:26 Obviously it's a cat and mouse game when you're playing against a defense corner.
00:30 You might think he's gonna be in a too deep cell and then he plays bank.
00:33 So there's that and we gotta do a better job of self-scouting and
00:36 trying to see what they're gonna be in, possibly.
00:38 >> Why wasn't Pat Hunter Henry worn off on Sundays?
00:43 That just sort of had the game unfolded?
00:44 >> Yeah, I mean, certain games,
00:46 you'll have some games where he has ten catches.
00:48 And what do you have the other day, two or three?
00:50 And then Keenan had six and Mike had six and it just unfolds that way.
00:53 So each week, like I say, every week it could be a different guy.
00:57 >> Mike Williams, no touchdowns.
00:59 I mean, obviously he's made a lot of huge plays.
01:01 >> Yeah. >> But I mean, 11 last year,
01:04 is it just kind of quirky weird?
01:05 How do you explain that?
01:06 >> Yeah, I mean, obviously we wanna get him in the end zone.
01:08 We wanna get everybody in the end zone.
01:09 Obviously he's a red zone threat.
01:11 And like you said, I mean, certainly some of those touchdowns we scored,
01:14 we scored outside the red zone.
01:15 We got down in there one time, and that made the big play.
01:18 But obviously when you get in there,
01:19 you got certain guys you wanna get the ball to.
01:22 But as soon as we get inside there, obviously we don't wanna force feed
01:24 certain things.
01:25 We wanna take what the defense gives us, but
01:26 obviously we wanna get them in the end zone.
