Obviously he was in the deep end at the time.

So it's almost like a free hit to go out there and start again because there was no pressure on Kieran.

Oluwatu, that first game, you know, when Kieran took over against the Dolphins, he had something like 22 carries and 10 carries early in the piece.

And that just showed a shift in mentality.

And then once you get a little bit of confidence back and you can start working on small improvements, it's easy to improve every week and become better.

A few years ago, he was a rookie coming in, but he's now played three, four years of first grade.
