We were 6-2, but I think you do set expectations so high that You can't keep meeting that because there's always changes in the offseason. The offense starts evolving. Coaches leave. Players leave. But, yeah, I think I definitely set expectations really high in 13. Yeah.
Oh, for sure. I mean, I had one, you know, we're going back in time, but I think it was after the seven touchdown game. We were in Green Bay and I threw like a post route down the middle to D Jack. And I think it went through like two corner and a safety's hands and then just popped up and D Jack caught it and just walked in backwards. And I'm just like, all right, you just feel me.

You got to take the luck and the juice and that favor when it comes. But we had a lot of it that year. And, you know, we were fortunate to, you know, unfortunately we didn't win the playoff game, but we still had a good year.

I mean, Carson, as we all know, was having an MVP caliber year that year. And then when he got hurt on the play, he actually stayed in and threw a touchdown the next play. I knew something was wrong because I had been around him enough. I know how tough he is. So I knew something was wrong when he came off and they took him up.

I knew it was going to be probably bad just from being around him and knowing his toughness. And, you know, your body like knows when something like that, like I'm about to step in.

And I think the key in that is I just took a moment, took a deep breath, you know, just said a prayer and just was like, you know what? I'm not going to be out there alone. I'm with 10 other guys in the huddle and I have a great team around me. I need to do my job. I still have to execute at a high level. I can't just go out there and just sit there and hope someone else is going to make a play.

I knew I would need to acclimate, so I gave myself grace, and eventually it hit at the right time. But yeah, I mean, the nerves start hitting. I'm human, man.
