But, no \u2026 If we\u2019re making over and over mental mistakes and things like that, but to me that in that moment, for a kid that plays his butt off all the time, that\u2019s not a situation (to pull Vivas from the game).<\/p>\n<p id=\"Q4GXZFSANJCQ5PDQFILY5N7DAY\">\u201cThat\u2019s a conversation. That\u2019s a little bit of an embarrassing moment that you hope you learn from and grow from, but you\u2019d be pulling guys a lot of time for different things and that one doesn\u2019t rise to it when it happens.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"M5W3MV7QURBA7GPGKS47QQRD24\"><i>Thank you for relying on us to provide the journalism you can trust.
