the football. You know, this is the time of year

of people excited about. You know, where this this thing
could continue to go here in the month of December
is you know that road narrows and the playoff push
gets closer and closer. And I gotta think Jalen, like,
just in general, you guys a ton of confidence in
that running back room right now, yourself, Kenneth Gainwell, Caleb
Johnson's starting to get more and more in the fold here.

with Aaron Rodgers. It's getting to be crunch time. It's

What's it like having a guy like that, you know,

(02:45):
four time MVP, future Hall of Famer, one of the
best point blank period quarterbacks ever in NFL history. I

your corner, having that guy on your team this time
of year.

that guy on our side of the ball, especially when
it comes down to, you know, this time of the year. Obviously,
he's been in a lot of games like this, a
very important win, so he knows what it takes and
whatever he says, that's kind of the spare We move.
