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.

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.
