  Speaker 1: been back there since uh the two thousand sixteen season,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: but looking looking forward to going back. Jake Luton made
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: his debut last week in the National Football League. Some
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: good stuff, some not so good things, but overall a
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: good debut considering the circumstances. Have felt like, yeah, you know, Jake, uh,
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: you know, showing up the first time being active, getting
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: a SUP for an NFL game, you know, no priest season,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: none of that stuff, So you know, he did what
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: we asked him to do. You know, he went out,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: he was decisive, he was aggressive with the football, and
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: that's his game, you know, And we just asked him
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: to go play his game and whatever happened on that play,
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: just make sure you flush it and go to the
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: next one and learn, you know, learn from it and
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: just keep moving through the game. And he did that,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: and he put us in position there. Uh, at the
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: end of time, we didn't get it done, but uh,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: you know, I thought he did had a good debut.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: The importance of that deep shot early the opening drive.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: It felt like that built not only his confidence but
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: the confidence of the offense. Really for the early part
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: of that football game. You agree with that. Yeah, you know,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: it's a big down. You have third down on long
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: and uh, you know, he took the right footwork, he
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: made the right ring, he laid a nice ball in there.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: DJ ran a tremendous route and uh, you know, they connected.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: They had a little bit of chemistry going in that
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: game and then practice, so you know, that was good
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: to see and surely that's that's a confidence booster there.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: He had a pretty good ratio on on some deep
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: shots last week though, right and that's a strong part
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: of his game with the arm that he has. Yeah,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: you know, he's the guy that sees the field well. Uh,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: not just because he's six foot seven, but he sees
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: the field well. He knows where the uh, he knows
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: where to put his eyes. He's a young guy. He's
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: still learning some things, but you know, when he sees it,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: he's able to play fast and pull the trigger and uh,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: you know when he's when he's accurate and has some
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: good uh you know, good spin on the ball like
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: he can do. It's pretty to watch with US Jaguars
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: quarterbacks coach. Now for the first time you got to
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: sit in the film session with him after he played
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: a game. How was he to deal with there and
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: how much different was it for him watching himself on
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: tape during a game. He's good that way. He's you know,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: he's a mature guy. First of all. He's not one
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: of the real young rookies that you can you can
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: get your hands on, and um, you know, Jake's a
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: guy that has been through some He's had a bumpy
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: road to get here. It wasn't all handed to him,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: so he's had to earn it every step of the
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: way everywhere he's been, um, including here, and you know,
• 2:57
