move he put on the corner he's all the way out to the 39 yard line there there's nothing inside he just puts a move on Walker and says goodbye Dorsey quick-fire completed Johnson nopal I thought his facemask he's got a first down the length of the football three wide out to the dangerous tight end and that's the guy this is the matchup this time freidy's go try to bull rush to go try to run right
