I don't know, man. Milak Milak is kind of coming up with that a little bit. Maybe he's saving just enough for that last 50, but look at the dive. Just look at the dive. Here's coach Bob Bowman says he's got the best underwater moves that he's ever seen, and he needs to make a move right now on Milak, and he is. The crowd is rolling as Marshawn tries to pass Milak, and he's doing it. He's passing the Hungarian. On. Put the arms up in there, baby. Keep it to him. Keep it to him. Keep it to him. Keep it to him.
