KEITH SMITH:
Q. Cordarrelle just told us that coach said, Hey, got to get the running game going this week. How did you feel getting it going today for 150?
KEITH SMITH: It feels good. It feels good when you're plan works. And I think that's just what we did as a team was we were kind of intentional all week in just making sure we were on top of the details, especially in the run game. And it panned out for us.
Q. On the 12-yard touchdown run, could you walk us through that play? You know, your role in that play?
KEITH SMITH: It was just a regular lead play. You know, just everybody kind of did their job. I guess my block kind of stands out more because I'm kind of at the point of attack. But it's all the guys across the line were driving their guys back and, you know, made it easy for CP.
Q. Coach was saying, Hey, we've got to stay with it. He fully believed you all could run it. How did you all stay, you know, with it and attacking it until you were able to get it going like this?
KEITH SMITH: I think it's just being intentional and understanding what we've done thus far. And I think we left a lot on the bone this season. And I think that's just kind of what we're diligent about doing moving forward is kind of getting all that we can get.
Q. How has this offense changed with Cordarrelle?
KEITH SMITH: It's -- I mean, you know, CP's dynamic. He does everything. So it just gives you a lot more options. It changes the look for the defense, especially because they got to worry about a running back being in a receiver spot and all the places that he plays.
But, you know, CP kind of -- CP brings energy too. So, you know, when he's out there, it's contagious. And you see it out there when he's out there.
Q. How does he bring that energy? What does he do?
KEITH SMITH: Watch his highlights.
Q. Saying stuff or --
KEITH SMITH: I mean, CP is always a positive dude. I think he's always about uplifting his teammates and so not only just is it just by example, but he is contagious as far as encouraging others.
Q. Can you give us an idea how much Arthur emphasized the running game this week and how he emphasized it?
KEITH SMITH: A ton. He just kind of showed us a lot of the stuff that we were capable of and what we've done this year and just things that we could build off of.
And he was just -- it was all about intention and making sure that guys are on top of their details all the way down to walk-throughs, even outside of practice. Just making sure that we're envisioning us, ourselves being successful. And I think that's what we did.
Q. When you say he showed it to you, showed it to you on film?
KEITH SMITH: Yes.
