00:00Eric, what aspect of your game do you think has gotten better

00:03over these four weeks and what do you think you still need

00:05to work on the most?

00:08Gotten better of, I think just taking what defense gives me.

00:10I think I always need a home run.

00:11I think I've done a good job of that.

00:12We had some plays like on Sunday where, hey,

00:15we're splitting out a bubble, we're splitting out

00:16little things, a little, you know, spot route at five yards

00:19that are turning into big plays.

00:21So it's taking what defense gives me and not kind of trying

00:23to, you know, hunt up, you know, the deep shot or the big play

00:26or the scramble play every time and then just handle

00:28situations better.

00:29I think, you know, fourth, third down, we ended up

00:31kicking a field goal down in the red zone.

00:32They brought cover zero and maybe had pop on a shout

00:35to get in score and handling kind of the short yardage runs

00:39of maybe pump up the guys some more to try to, you know,

00:41get a first down.

00:42We had some big short yardage runs that we ended up

00:44capitalizing on.

00:45So a little situational football that I think can help us.

00:48Speaking of short yardage runs, we were actually having

00:50a discussion before you came in.

00:52There's been this talking point like no designed runs

00:54and, you know, you were coming off a concussion

00:56and you've been scrambling a lot doing different things.

00:59Do you think there are opportunities for you to have design

01:01runs moving forward this season, moving forward whenever

01:04in the future?

01:05Like on fourth and two, for example.

01:06Yeah, like fourth and goal from the two.

01:08I do think there's a spot for that.

01:10You know, I feel like I'm a, you know, big kid, big athletic

01:12kid that, you know, I ran for a bunch of yards in college

01:15and I've been making plays with my feet here in the NFL.

01:19So I think there's definitely a time and place for it.

01:21But I think what we've been doing and giving the ball

01:24to Mondra is not always a bad option.

01:27Mondra, you're a lot better runner than I am.
