| 0:19.0 | on the average. Andrew said that he said that he thinks he was comparing the circumstances 19190 |
| 0:25.4 | with expectations and a rookie quarterback. |
| 0:27.9 | Again, I just don't know that the similarities are the same. |
| 0:31.5 | We're talking about comparing teams from 30 plus years apart. |
