“(Then) it was T-Mac on the opposite side of the field, on their sideline. I knew that he was going to run some type of curl or come back, and try to get up the sideline at catch, cause they ran it before and that seems to be kind of like, he has a good knack for that and and so he caught it, turned that field, ran a guy over, gave him the the forearm, kind of stood up over the top of him.
“It was really cool that playing the game allowed me to be able to understand down-and-situation, where guys are lined up on the field, what coverage it was, if it’s the middle of the field closed, middle field open, more than likely, you know, third-and-long, you might be able to hit a guy across the middle if you have that route available.”
