came convert false fight game goes good half hard lead looks lose pressure protection second start third
Early, I thought our protection and the things we did were good. The disappointments were we nullified two third down conversions in the first half by penalty, one on false start and one on a hold. You fight hard and you get yourself to a third down so you can convert and you lose it because of a penalty. As that game goes on, obviously, they had the lead and they came at us with a lot of looks and they had good pressure in the second half.

absolutely block bring change chipping good job moving single whether
We have to do all the things you do, whether it be change up the cadence, whether it be chipping guys, whether it be doubling. They do a good job of moving inside-outside to keep you from getting a good double-team on them. They'll bring the linebacker with the end to that side. So at times you just absolutely have to single block them.
