Patrick O'Connell, man. How did, how'd you feel about that opening kickoff? You had a good view of. Yeah, that was a great play. Obviously, we knew what we had coming into the game, and luckily they kicked it to Sheed. Coach Harbaugh did a great job of scheming that up for us, and everyone made the blocks that they needed to, and next thing you know, Sheed's ripping it through and we're in the end zone. I didn't have a chance

to have any rewatch yet but

it looked like maybe a different a little bit of a different formation from the kick yeah yeah we showed

10 up on the line and uh just one returner back and uh we hadn't done that in a while so yeah

they weren't really prepared for that.

How does Jay Harbaugh bring that up?

He comes up with these things, seem like every week almost.

That guy's a mastermind.

He spent so much time up in his office just dialing up schemes for us.

And like I said, he's a mastermind of football, And he's just a football guy. So he just shows us

these little things that we can take advantage of. And when we do it, obviously you see what happens.

How much fun is it to play on special teams, a unit like this, that impacts the game seemingly

almost every game? Yeah, it's super fun. Obviously, we're a brotherhood. It's a switch for our team.

We can, we're there when our offense needs us. We're there when the defense needs us to get a stop

inside the, inside the 25 on kickoff or whatever it may be. And we're just super tight,

tight-knit group, and it's fun to be out there with all the guys. Appreciate you, man.

All right. So,ailas, man.

Obviously, you never want to see a teammate go down.

But you get the call today come up.

What was it like to be part of this game?

Man, it's a blessing.

My journey's been everywhere this year. Started off in New Orleans.
