Guys and your team -- attacking each other going that he joked.
I don't look at it. I don't take. I mean running on. -- here -- to a he would meet him in home away -- kind of make -- toe problem. Just no one running -- I mean. I don't buy into something that lucky again to mine too that's if you know -- and you know what we've been around here. And and running pretty particles trees so I don't think with anything personal. I think was more to combat zone in these guys that have gone added in practice of -- to challenge each other and our -- I don't think is addictive. --
I know -- back in the day you punted. Well you could be quarterback or wide receiver running back unit play at all today. And I it was -- in the yesterday because with one hand held you still nearly had the interception you know I've seen. Sort of the last minute so.

We just need to keep making the plays and people know this'll do because that's gonna pay off of alone. The only negative for me is third down defense and you're still having trouble getting this team off the field. I mean that's something that we have seen third down -- raised on these things those two hitters you have to be you have -- We have continued to tools try to get better in those areas because it is moving those what counts -- you know gonna -- a -- or maybe yours and a New York salon.
