Speaker 1 (00:04):
Artie Bowman with coach Jeff Wector Bishop McDavid High School coach.
A good win I felt last Friday night. I felt
like it was a good win for several reasons. One year,
I thought your execution was was really spot on for
the most part. And I know you're going to point
out where it wasn't, but no, I just thought it
was a spot on And I thought there was a
(00:25):
couple of good drives in the first half and one
particular play which I'll ask about in a minute.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
But you know, tell us a.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Little about last Friday. The reason why I thought it
was so good. They created an obstacle for you guys.
It wasn't like you could just run over a weaker team.
I thought they played tough and play well, which ended up,
you know, forcing your guys to really play well.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
We knew going in that they you know, they were
an obstacle. They came into here last year, all five,
as we talked about last week.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Almost beat us, and you know they do for some reason.
Last year.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
It's never really been a problem before here, but last
year we had a problem stopping the beer. And they
run beer, but the quarterback's different. They do a little
bit more from shotgun. He throws a lot better than
the quarterback last year. So it presented a lot of
you know, very rarely do you see a beer team
that can line up and go shotgun and spread the
past game. And they did a lot of good things
(01:25):
out of it. You know that the screen that they hit,
the middle screen that their tight end you might see
later on at McDevitt. It was a nice screen, very
well designed.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
You know. Defensively, they played a three stack.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
They blitzed us like crazy, and they did a good
job because they mix up. It was a lot of
different looking blitzes so and some things we didn't see
on film from them. So yeah, I mean it was
a good win, especially going out there. Like I said,
last year they were on five. This year they were
two and three go in and had a big victory
(02:01):
over over Cumberland Valley at Cumberland Valley, So.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
You know, it was a good win for us. It
was a long trip.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
We did a lot of good things we got obviously,
we got some things we got to correct, so but
all in all, I was pretty pleased with the effort.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Savashan Williams H thought it was well. You started off
a Freight. Really thought it was the best game that
I've seen out of the junior and had a really
incredible pass to John tay Quit who finished it with
an incredible run right in front of you all down
there on the sidelines. But I thought that passed in particular,
it was in a lot of traffic, had to go
(02:37):
over the defender and drop down in for John Tay.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Yeah, I mean, you're spot on.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
When I meet and watched film with the quarterbacks on
Monday here at school, I told him that I thought
that was his best game and that throw that you
talked about that John Tay was probably his best throw
of the year. And again John Tay made a heck
of a run afterwards. I mean, we didn't even know Johnta.
He kind of jogged through a half of practice on
(03:04):
last Wednesday. Then we knew it was gonna be a
game time decision. Early on in pregame, I thought he
was a go, and then you know, in pregame warm ups,
we throw a little bit ball behind him and his
ankle got twisted. I didn't think he was gonna play,
And you know, I didn't know he was going to
(03:25):
play until we came out of the locker room. I
didn't think he was gonna play, and I would say
he was probably about seventy percent. But I mean it's
we miss him when he's not here because he does
so much for us. I mean it takes two or
three guys to replace him because not only he is
a great route runner, he's our deep threat, he also
is a great blocker from the slot. So we used
(03:46):
two or three different guys when he was out to
do that. Even Friday night, you know, we put Zach
Brown in the in the slot to be a slot
blocker for us. So but yeah, overall, I was pleased.
I was really pleased with Sebastian. You know, I thought
he did it a job.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
We got to talk about the altercation. I know you
can't say everything, but you know what happened there. I
know some tempers flared.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
There was an.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Ejection, which we were up in the booth thinking you
can't inject a guy for one unsportsmanlike conduct. We know
he had the collar earlier in the game. We actually
remember that while we were discussing this up there, but
only to see Jakai on the bench and thinking he
had gotten ejected. To find out that that was your move,
(04:32):
which is a smart move because you can't afford for
something else to happen in losing.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Yeah, you know, it was unfortunate. They were a little
cheapy chippy here.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Last year they were a lot chippy up there, a
lot of talking a lot and you know, I even
told the head official, I'm like, listen, we played Harrisburger,
big rival at Harrisburg, and yeah, there was a bit
talking about nothing like it was this game, you know,
(05:03):
including I mean the quarterback was calling some names and
actually said that was sworn. Said that to the head official,
so he knew kind of what I was saying about.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
You know, it was blatant.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
After the play cheap shot on their line and picking
our player up and body slamming him and our other
player run over and just kind of belly bumped him
off off of the guy was you know, because another
the one receiver came up and hit our guy too.
Like after it got up from being wwe body slammed,
(05:38):
And I thought, our kids, our players did a good job.
They got our two guys back away. Our coaching staff
did a great job. Of course, when all that was
going on, I started condor Marcacho and I started walking
out on the field to make sure our guys were
all right, and our assistant coaches on the sideline where
you know, telling our kids don't don't come off the
sideline because that's an automatic suspense. So you know, it
(06:04):
was a mistake by the head official saying that he
was disqualified when he really wasn't. What he meant to
say is it was it was unsportsman like on him.
They got him for the belly bump, you know, which, Okay,
you know, if you want to call.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
It like that.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
You know, I've said the official fanbody should be disqualified.
It should be their lineman that picked up and body
slammed our guy. And it wasn't like at the very
end of a whistle, echo of a whistle. That was
two three seconds after the whistle blew. And you know,
and what people don't know is when I didn't know
(06:39):
during the game, but when I watched, we had some
video of the whole thing. And right before that happened,
when the receivers came back, they got a personal foul
that actually pushed our guy when he got up. He
also cheap shot a blindside cheap shot after the whistle.
Jamison Cromwell. So, uh, it's unfortunately happened. We haven't had
(06:59):
that all year. I think they have. I mean I
watched video of them against Holidays, burned their first game,
and they're a role receiver. Uh he got a couple
of sportsmanlike conducts. So uh and I had seen in
film the week or two later. So you know, we
just need to stay out of that and just you know,
(07:20):
we're on a mission, and you know, it's all about us.
And that's what I tell our team. It's all about us,
not what they do, what they say. You know, we
got to walk away. And you know I thought the
player they got body slam did a good job. You know,
he actually went and got body slammed, was had his
back turned. Yeah, through the liney.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
So I hope it doesn't happen again.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Okay, One predicular series or set of plays that I
want to talk to you about. Art would be upset
with me if I didn't ask. You had a third
and nine and you ran a quarterback keeper and gag
like seven. I think it was a fourth and two
or maybe fourth and one, but I think fourth and two.
I here I go. I always guess you right, and
I never guess right on that one. I kind of
(08:01):
guessed that you were thinking two plays and you're already
thinking a field goal if you don't pick up the
first down to give Aiden Pirilla a chance to have
a long field goal in game conditions. And I'm way
off on that one.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
You're actually right, Marty, Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean at
that point, it was it was twenty one, twenty one.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Felt good about what we're doing.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
You know, we've talked about, you know, we haven't really
had a chance to get Aiden, you know, a field goal,
and you know we need to get a couple more
field goals to get him some Division one offers. It
was I mean, if it was a fourteen nothing or
I was worried about the game, you know, them coming back,
but our defense was playing so well I thought it
(08:47):
would be. And the way they they are when they
got you on throwd along, they're tough to throw against
because they drop eight guys, and you know, Sebastian's getting
a lot better. He's not ready to throw against drop
an eight guy. And I thought our best move and
I thought he was going to get the first down.
I thought, you know, for a while, he's going to
get the first down, our back actually went the wrong way,
(09:10):
but you know, no, it was it was a strictly
hey we get the first down. It wasn't let's run it,
get it closer and get it a fourth and manageable
like a fourth and four. It was run the ball,
see what we can get, try to keep it in
the middle of the field and keep the field goal
with aiight And so you were right.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Okay, I'll write this date down, but all right, so
let's uh a good solid win. As I mentioned before,
what did you work on in practice this week that
you just wanted to sharpen up a little bit or
a lot of individual skills yet or you know Monday.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Well, Monday is a lot of individual Tuesday.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
Tuesday is kind of and Monday's also just kind of
talking about their personnel and a little bit of rough
draft of a of a game plan. But defensively, I
meet I met with a defensive coach is and we
put in the defensive game plan. They came in with
some ideas, I had some ideas, and we all came
to a you know, agreement with what we're going to
(10:09):
do Defensively. I make the decisions on offense, so I
kind of Monday, have a real good idea. But I'm
still tinkering on Tuesday. And you know, my my thing
is on a Wednesday. If it doesn't look good by
the end of practice on Wednesday, you throw it out
of the game plan. Now I've been known to you know,
(10:29):
maybe tinker you know, walk through on Thursday morning, or
even to walk through you know. Let two years ago
in twenty twenty three, you know, the night before the
game against Cedar Cliff, it came to me and I
wrote it down and.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
We came in and put it in.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
And that was to go what we call East West,
which is Twins hab Rico Scott play tailback and run
isolation and we went eighty yards for a touchdown. So
but for the most part, the big game plans put
in and so Tuesday is so Monday is a big
individual day.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Tuesdays some group work and some team. Uh.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
Wednesday is mostly team and Tuesday and Wednesday we break
up the special teams. We'll do half on a Tuesday,
half on a Wednesday Thursdays, just to walk through, you know,
just to sharpen up.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Uh. So you know, this week, you know, we we
added a few things on defe few wrinkles.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
We've added one or two wrinkles on offense and uh,
you know we we you know, we'll be without Andre
Maina uh this week and you know he'll be you
know a week the week thing right now, he got
injured unfortunately the first drive against Al Tuona. Uh, so
he will be back in a couple of weeks. Uh,
you know, maybe a week or two, maybe a little
(11:46):
bit longer. We got to see how it heels, but
with a lower leg injury. But so you know, we're
you know, we've got three guys work at offensive tackle
uh this week for Andre and so you know, and
John Tay's still not he's better than he was last week,
but he's still not one hundred percent. So you know,
we're working in some we worked in some wrinkles for
(12:08):
him too.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
So tonight coming on Valley arrival. There are a lot
of rivals, but this is a big one.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Again.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
I felt that type of game against South Tuna. It
was good for you, same type of thing with coming
of value. You're you're playing a bigger, bigger school and
they're going to have some beef up front and everything.
So what's what's tonight look like?
Speaker 3 (12:29):
You know, homecoming is always a crazy wee kids are
worried about their prompt or homecoming date and this and that,
where we were and what do we It's the point
now where you know what what vehicle is showing up
in and it's a pain, you know, as a football coach.
You know, I've often said to the administration, you know,
(12:50):
we hear a lot about deva football guess everything in McDevitt,
I said, listen, I'm more than willing to share this
homecoming with field hockey as a girls soccer, cross country,
girls volleyball, Let's let's take a turn at this. But
obviously it's a football game, you know. And then a
lot of special events happening besides this homecoming, uh bringing
in the eighty five district championship team, the ninety five
(13:13):
State championship team. Uh, you know the eighty five guys.
You know, Ricky Waters is coming in. Uh he came
in today to at the PEP rally to talk to
a student body. I mean, there's just a lot of
distractions and coming on by is a good football team.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
They're still Cumberland Valley.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
You know, we just have to come out and you know,
at Keystady Week, is execute. I expect them on defense
that blits us a lot coming into the game. They
they for the year people talk about me, their percentage
of passes is sixty five percent, almost sixty five percent
of their offensive passing games. So, you know, we we've
(13:52):
got to you know, shure up there, you know, mix
our coverages, sure up, you know, get some pressure on
the quarterback. Defensively, they're you know, they did it last
year in the second half to try to shut down
our run game. Is is what people have been doing
is blitzing us, giving us heavy boxes. So we're gonna
have to throw the ball some you know, we've got
to stay away from those penalties and long yardage situations
(14:14):
and also you know, stay away from you know, turnovers.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Yeah, you seem very balanced, more so than I see.
Well four years with Stone you're gonna be thrown a football,
But definitely seem like this approach is very balanced.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
This year, well, you know, we have to be, you know,
with where we're at, you know, And and the thing
is is, you know, we ran last year more than
we have in the past a couple of years.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
We're running more this year, and a lot of that
is just experience. In some of the receivers, obviously the
experience at quarterback. But what's happening is is because we've
had and we why not run the ball. We have
three great running backs and the offense line is getting
better by the week. But the thing is is, so
they're saying, you know, Stone and knock on Sebastian's playing well,
(15:08):
but they're also saying, that's not some sounders back there.
The fear isn't there. I mean, we can blitz them
and not worry about getting hurt in the passing game
is bad. So you know, you go back to that
Pine Richling game. They played at too high safety and
begged us to run the football.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
What we do?
Speaker 3 (15:25):
We ran the ball. We're up twenty one nothing and
a half time. I said to Stone a halftime, hey,
they got to come out of that. When they do,
you know what to check to. The whole third quarter
went by, they're letting us run the football. It's we
get the ball back the first time in the fourth quarter.
It's twenty eight to fourteen, with like ten minutes left
in the game, and the first play they came out
of that too high shell and Stone checked in and
(15:48):
we hit John Taper a touchdown. We got the ball
back still up twenty because that's when they were deep
in our territory and we stopped them at fourth down. Anyways,
but we did recover the funnel. But even if he
didn't fumble, they didn't have enough for the first down.
We got the ball back. With six minutes to go
in the game, they went back to their two shell
down two touchdowns.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Well we did. We just ran the ball out. So
what teams aren't doing that now?
Speaker 3 (16:11):
They're trying to stop the run, but they Pine Richard
did that because they were so scared of what Stone
will do in the passing game. Sebastian hasn't earned that yet.
You know, he will and he's getting there, but he hasn't. So, yeah,
we're gonna have to be more balanced. And you know,
if you look take away the Clarks of the North,
because it was hard to do anything because of the
(16:31):
way they blitz. But you look after that, we've been
pretty balanced. You know, we were pretty much run against.
Harrisburg had a great success late in the third quarter.
They started keeping an eight man front, playing as man
you know, and there's where we kind of didn't run
the ball as well. And we had to throw it
and we ran into We did some good things, but
(16:51):
we didn't do some great things.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
And and we did.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
Some good things and they were called back on some
bogus calls. But you know, so we'll we'd like to
stay bounced. Uh you know, you know, it depends what
the defense does. You know, if they come out tonight
and they're blitting us every play, we're gonna have to
throw the ball more.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
So we'll see the
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Coach is always best to you tonight, and we'll talk
about w next week, I hope, all right,
Artie Bowman with coach Jeff Wector Bishop McDavid High School coach.
A good win I felt last Friday night. I felt
like it was a good win for several reasons. One year,
I thought your execution was was really spot on for

got to walk away. And you know I thought the
player they got body slam did a good job. You know,
he actually went and got body slammed, was had his
back turned. Yeah, through the liney.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
So I hope it doesn't happen again.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Okay, One predicular series or set of plays that I
want to talk to you about. Art would be upset
with me if I didn't ask. You had a third
and nine and you ran a quarterback keeper and gag
like seven. I think it was a fourth and two
or maybe fourth and one, but I think fourth and two.
I here I go. I always guess you right, and
I never guess right on that one. I kind of
(08:01):
guessed that you were thinking two plays and you're already
thinking a field goal if you don't pick up the
first down to give Aiden Pirilla a chance to have
a long field goal in game conditions. And I'm way
off on that one.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
You're actually right, Marty, Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean at
that point, it was it was twenty one, twenty one.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Felt good about what we're doing.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
You know, we've talked about, you know, we haven't really
had a chance to get Aiden, you know, a field goal,
and you know we need to get a couple more
field goals to get him some Division one offers. It
was I mean, if it was a fourteen nothing or
I was worried about the game, you know, them coming back,
but our defense was playing so well I thought it
(08:47):
would be. And the way they they are when they
got you on throwd along, they're tough to throw against
because they drop eight guys, and you know, Sebastian's getting
a lot better. He's not ready to throw against drop
an eight guy. And I thought our best move and
I thought he was going to get the first down.
I thought, you know, for a while, he's going to
get the first down, our back actually went the wrong way,
(09:10):
but you know, no, it was it was a strictly
hey we get the first down. It wasn't let's run it,
get it closer and get it a fourth and manageable
like a fourth and four. It was run the ball,
see what we can get, try to keep it in
the middle of the field and keep the field goal
with aiight And so you were right.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Okay, I'll write this date down, but all right, so
let's uh a good solid win. As I mentioned before,
what did you work on in practice this week that
you just wanted to sharpen up a little bit or
a lot of individual skills yet or you know Monday.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Well, Monday is a lot of individual Tuesday.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
Tuesday is kind of and Monday's also just kind of
talking about their personnel and a little bit of rough
draft of a of a game plan. But defensively, I
meet I met with a defensive coach is and we
put in the defensive game plan. They came in with
some ideas, I had some ideas, and we all came
to a you know, agreement with what we're going to
(10:09):
do Defensively. I make the decisions on offense, so I
kind of Monday, have a real good idea. But I'm
still tinkering on Tuesday. And you know, my my thing
is on a Wednesday. If it doesn't look good by
the end of practice on Wednesday, you throw it out
of the game plan. Now I've been known to you know,
(10:29):
maybe tinker you know, walk through on Thursday morning, or
even to walk through you know. Let two years ago
in twenty twenty three, you know, the night before the
game against Cedar Cliff, it came to me and I
wrote it down and.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
We came in and put it in.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
And that was to go what we call East West,
which is Twins hab Rico Scott play tailback and run
isolation and we went eighty yards for a touchdown. So
but for the most part, the big game plans put
in and so Tuesday is so Monday is a big
individual day.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Tuesdays some group work and some team. Uh.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
Wednesday is mostly team and Tuesday and Wednesday we break
up the special teams. We'll do half on a Tuesday,
half on a Wednesday Thursdays, just to walk through, you know,
just to sharpen up.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Uh. So you know, this week, you know, we we
added a few things on defe few wrinkles.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
We've added one or two wrinkles on offense and uh,
you know we we you know, we'll be without Andre
Maina uh this week and you know he'll be you
know a week the week thing right now, he got
injured unfortunately the first drive against Al Tuona. Uh, so
he will be back in a couple of weeks. Uh,
you know, maybe a week or two, maybe a little
(11:46):
bit longer. We got to see how it heels, but
with a lower leg injury. But so you know, we're
you know, we've got three guys work at offensive tackle
uh this week for Andre and so you know, and
John Tay's still not he's better than he was last week,
but he's still not one hundred percent. So you know,
we're working in some we worked in some wrinkles for
(12:08):
him too.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
So tonight coming on Valley arrival. There are a lot
of rivals, but this is a big one.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Again.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
I felt that type of game against South Tuna. It
was good for you, same type of thing with coming
of value. You're you're playing a bigger, bigger school and
they're going to have some beef up front and everything.
So what's what's tonight look like?
Speaker 3 (12:29):
You know, homecoming is always a crazy wee kids are
worried about their prompt or homecoming date and this and that,
where we were and what do we It's the point
now where you know what what vehicle is showing up
in and it's a pain, you know, as a football coach.
You know, I've often said to the administration, you know,
(12:50):
we hear a lot about deva football guess everything in McDevitt,
I said, listen, I'm more than willing to share this
homecoming with field hockey as a girls soccer, cross country,
girls volleyball, Let's let's take a turn at this. But
obviously it's a football game, you know. And then a
lot of special events happening besides this homecoming, uh bringing
in the eighty five district championship team, the ninety five
(13:13):
State championship team. Uh, you know the eighty five guys.
You know, Ricky Waters is coming in. Uh he came
in today to at the PEP rally to talk to
a student body. I mean, there's just a lot of
distractions and coming on by is a good football team.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
They're still Cumberland Valley.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
You know, we just have to come out and you know,
at Keystady Week, is execute. I expect them on defense
that blits us a lot coming into the game. They
they for the year people talk about me, their percentage
of passes is sixty five percent, almost sixty five percent
of their offensive passing games. So, you know, we we've
(13:52):
got to you know, shure up there, you know, mix
our coverages, sure up, you know, get some pressure on
the quarterback. Defensively, they're you know, they did it last
year in the second half to try to shut down
our run game. Is is what people have been doing
is blitzing us, giving us heavy boxes. So we're gonna
have to throw the ball some you know, we've got
to stay away from those penalties and long yardage situations
(14:14):
and also you know, stay away from you know, turnovers.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Yeah, you seem very balanced, more so than I see.
Well four years with Stone you're gonna be thrown a football,
But definitely seem like this approach is very balanced.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
This year, well, you know, we have to be, you know,
with where we're at, you know, And and the thing
is is, you know, we ran last year more than
we have in the past a couple of years.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
We're running more this year, and a lot of that
is just experience. In some of the receivers, obviously the
experience at quarterback. But what's happening is is because we've
had and we why not run the ball. We have
three great running backs and the offense line is getting
better by the week. But the thing is is, so
they're saying, you know, Stone and knock on Sebastian's playing well,
(15:08):
but they're also saying, that's not some sounders back there.
The fear isn't there. I mean, we can blitz them
and not worry about getting hurt in the passing game
is bad. So you know, you go back to that
Pine Richling game. They played at too high safety and
begged us to run the football.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
What we do?
Speaker 3 (15:25):
We ran the ball. We're up twenty one nothing and
a half time. I said to Stone a halftime, hey,
they got to come out of that. When they do,
you know what to check to. The whole third quarter
went by, they're letting us run the football. It's we
get the ball back the first time in the fourth quarter.
It's twenty eight to fourteen, with like ten minutes left
in the game, and the first play they came out
of that too high shell and Stone checked in and
(15:48):
we hit John Taper a touchdown. We got the ball
back still up twenty because that's when they were deep
in our territory and we stopped them at fourth down. Anyways,
but we did recover the funnel. But even if he
didn't fumble, they didn't have enough for the first down.
We got the ball back. With six minutes to go
in the game, they went back to their two shell
down two touchdowns.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Well we did. We just ran the ball out. So
what teams aren't doing that now?
Speaker 3 (16:11):
They're trying to stop the run, but they Pine Richard
did that because they were so scared of what Stone
will do in the passing game. Sebastian hasn't earned that yet.
You know, he will and he's getting there, but he hasn't. So, yeah,
we're gonna have to be more balanced. And you know,
if you look take away the Clarks of the North,
because it was hard to do anything because of the
(16:31):
way they blitz. But you look after that, we've been
pretty balanced. You know, we were pretty much run against.
Harrisburg had a great success late in the third quarter.
They started keeping an eight man front, playing as man
you know, and there's where we kind of didn't run
the ball as well. And we had to throw it
and we ran into We did some good things, but
(16:51):
we didn't do some great things.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
And and we did.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
Some good things and they were called back on some
bogus calls. But you know, so we'll we'd like to
stay bounced. Uh you know, you know, it depends what
the defense does. You know, if they come out tonight
and they're blitting us every play, we're gonna have to
throw the ball more.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
So we'll see the
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Coach is always best to you tonight, and we'll talk
about w next week, I hope, all right,
