So if it's third down in the first quarter and it's nothing, nothing, then you definitely want to live to fight another day.

If there's 90 seconds left and you're down one score, then it doesn't matter if it's week one.

you know, week seven or when, and you're in the playoffs, you know, I think it's just situational.

And I think he's, he's kind of finding his footing with all that.

And to your credit, I mean, like early on, there was a lot more called runs than they were slowly being pulled away, uh, as the season went on.

Um,

And there were some stubborn calls, right, where, you know, you can see Brian Dable was just kind of trying to win to save his job at a certain moment.

And I think that to some degree, losing Cam Scadaboo in those short yardage situations increased his reps carrying the ball in those situations.

They were getting a lot of success with Cam Scadaboo early on.

Like he went down in week seven.

So sorry, week eight.

So it's not like they had Cam Scadaboo for more than half the year or anything like that.

And Jackson Dart not playing the first three games as a starter.

You know, you eliminate that.

Now you're talking about just a handful of games.

But that run game and its steady progress and getting hidden yardage, I think, had a lot to do with success early on.

And then they kind of had to navigate as a team different ways to get around that.

Devin Singletary is just not Cam Scadaboo.

Absolutely.

And I do think that for this is just who Dart is.
