All right, so I know you're a big horror movie guy. We just started October. I know this is a question that you may not have. The answer is too off the top of your head.

0:21.8

Top five horror movies.

0:22.9

I figure scream is probably number one.

0:24.9

For sure.

0:25.9

I go scream, then I go, um...

You get a chance to see weapons yet? No, I didn't. What's, what's his own? Uh, it should be just out of theaters. You might see it on demand. Okay, okay. No, I'll definitely go to it, though. No, you'll like it. It's kind of different. It's said weapons, right? Weapons. You'll like it. So you played 11 snaps, career high. Yeah. What was your takeaway on your performance? I felt like I did what was needed for the team. They needed a guy to step up in a gunner position and play on her turn. So, you know, I was available at the time. So, you know, I just stepped in and did my role. Have you ever played Gunner before? No, I haven't. That was my first time. You know, little tweaks here and there. I definitely felt like some of the rest. I could have did better. I used my hands a little bit more, but it's an all-level working process.

probably guys don't seem like probably y'all don't see it from him because y'all looking at him from the outside. But if you actually pay attention to him, he's a real physical guy. He liked to get his hands on people early in the routes and things like that. So, you know, I love everything about him. One thing, well, everybody know he's fast, so I deficit the physical part.
