In live from their I have to know. That this bow of of that player of that often wondered in the direction that and now head to create this slope Fuller says Fuller piece quick if he. I got -- early off the ball if she's a power guy or if he's the guy who. You speak. What they're looking block that is they don't don't mean a little longer than maybe no alarm. And then that aspect of it off. You wanna may be -- and appear. You're. Alignment in the back furor we're sure it depended on their big guys quicker or if -- lower. And usually what they're not sure we could do. You can kind of figure out how those guys in the broccoflower. Individually and then from there you can you know I've been soldiers just learn to play you learn the blocking scheme and -- throughout a whole lot."
