Speaker 1: Uh yeah, exciting day. Uh it's a cool day. And
0:03
Speaker 1: see how history it really is. Uh started out outstanding
0:09
Speaker 1: with Nick, we waited on Royal and then uh you
0:16
Speaker 1: know Ad Jalen right there at the end was a
0:18
Speaker 1: big deal for us.
0:19
Speaker 2: So we got really excited about it.
0:22
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean just talk about all three guys having
0:26
Speaker 3: just a consensus and a plan form and a vision
0:29
Speaker 3: for these guys join our team, and all three really
0:33
Speaker 3: exciting in their own rights.
0:34
Speaker 2: So yeah, it's a great day you guys.
0:38
Speaker 4: You guys do so many years quarterback.
0:45
Speaker 2: Yes, what was it about this year, this.
0:47
Speaker 4: Player this round?
0:51
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, you know, we give Ryan Florence and
0:55
Speaker 1: Aaron Hyland a ton of credit. Those guys did a
0:57
Speaker 1: ton of work on them. You know, it's really hard
1:01
Speaker 1: on those guys to be able to see that, you know,
1:03
Speaker 1: twenty two miles an hour or whatever he ran on
1:05
Speaker 1: a film.
1:06
Speaker 2: Around the field.
1:06
Speaker 1: But uh, uh no, he's he's an incredible athlete. Uh,
1:12
Speaker 1: very very fast. I think literally it's twenty one to
1:15
Speaker 1: two or something like that. You know, it's GPS speed.
1:19
Speaker 1: But uh, hard worker, and you know he's a the
1:24
Speaker 1: William Campbell Award like academic Heisman Award winner. He's you know,
1:28
Speaker 1: he's had four different offensive coordinators.
1:31
Speaker 2: Works his tail off.
1:32
Speaker 1: Mom, his mom's uh Nate, you know mom a former Navy,
1:36
Speaker 1: dad's marine.
1:37
Speaker 2: Like, he's just he's just a he came in in
1:41
Speaker 2: a visit.
1:41
Speaker 1: He had a really great visit and uh, he was
1:44
Speaker 1: in a spot and and he just he just kept
1:47
Speaker 1: coming and uh.
1:48
Speaker 2: And he was there by himself. That accurate.
1:56
Speaker 1: Uh, No, I don't think he was actually No, But yeah,
2:03
Speaker 1: he's he's a easy, unique, special, special, special kids, special athlete,
2:08
Speaker 1: special kids, especially young man.
2:11
Speaker 2: Athlete. You know, and you know we're gonna develop him
2:14
Speaker 2: as a quarterback. But with that, you know, he's a
2:17
Speaker 2: can add something special as we go.
2:24
Speaker 3: Well, it's I think it's you got to look at
2:26
Speaker 3: it through the lens of the things we talked about
2:29
Speaker 3: when we first hired Clinton.
2:30
Speaker 2: One of the reasons we hired him.
2:31
Speaker 3: Was his ability to incorporate the whole, whole whole roster
2:36
Speaker 3: and really bring out what everybody does really well. So,
2:38
Speaker 3: I mean, Adam Jalen's is a part of that. And
2:42
Speaker 3: like the the ability to to kind of employ and
2:45
Speaker 3: bring the best out of all the players is really exciting.
2:47
Speaker 3: So that's how it fits. I mean, we're gonna be running,
2:51
Speaker 3: we're running Clint's offense, and Jalen's gonna fit right in.
2:54
Speaker 3: And but when he's in there, we're gonna be doing
2:56
Speaker 3: the stuff that he does great, just like we will
2:58
Speaker 3: when when Sam's leading the charge. So yeah, it's uh,
3:03
Speaker 3: it's gonna be a lot of fun. I don't think
3:09
Speaker 3: it's fair to say Taysom Hill. He tastes such a
3:11
Speaker 3: great player, and the way they use him was more
3:13
Speaker 3: of like a tight end full back hybrid role with
3:16
Speaker 3: sometimes taking snaps. Uh, Jalon's a quarterback through and through.
3:20
Speaker 3: He's gonna be trained to play quarterback for us, and
3:23
Speaker 3: when he's in there, he's gonna be playing quarterback. So
3:27
Speaker 3: but the athleticism is gonna come to life, you know,
3:29
Speaker 3: when he's on, when he's on the field, and and
3:32
Speaker 3: that's how it's gonna.
3:33
Speaker 5: Help us with with Nick. How much do you have
3:36
Speaker 5: Kyle Hamilton in mind?
3:38
Speaker 1: And maybe he sounds like will sound like Saturday.
3:47
Speaker 2: Whatever.
3:48
Speaker 3: I just keep thinking of like thinking like there's two
3:50
Speaker 3: boxes that we gotta check with Nicky.
3:53
Speaker 5: I'm just kidding Kyle, playing your thinking as you evaluated.
3:57
Speaker 3: Nick, I think I think, uh, I think the physicality
4:05
Speaker 3: of Cam is. I mean, you have such a respect
4:07
Speaker 3: for Camp He's such a just a unicorn of a
4:09
Speaker 3: player NFL history for us leading a boom just he's
4:14
Speaker 3: he's hard, he can't can't like put He's just so unique,
4:17
Speaker 3: you know. And and Kyle is the same way. And
4:20
Speaker 3: I think what we found with Kyle is that the
4:23
Speaker 3: system allows for us to get multiple safeties on the
4:26
Speaker 3: field and also be in the slot and with you know,
4:29
Speaker 3: with kind of like enhanced covered responsibilities, and he can
4:35
Speaker 3: affect the game that way kind of at the second
4:37
Speaker 3: level while training at the third level, and uh gives
4:40
Speaker 3: us some depth with the safeery room guys that we
4:42
Speaker 3: really love that are currently on the roster, and then
4:46
Speaker 3: you know, to be able to affect the game earlier,
4:48
Speaker 3: you know, early on in his career too as he
4:49
Speaker 3: starts to develop. But same same story with Nick, just
4:53
Speaker 3: coming in throughout the process, getting to know us on
4:56
Speaker 3: his visit really helped out buying into the vision that
4:59
Speaker 3: we have for him. And it's be really fun to
5:01
Speaker 3: to uh to work with him when he gets here
5:02
Speaker 3: next week.
5:04
Speaker 5: Still available on date you and was he someone that
5:06
Speaker 5: you would you considered in day one.
5:08
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's awesome. Was like another softball right up your ally.
5:11
Speaker 1: Yeah, uh uh yeah. We had him right next to
5:15
Speaker 1: Greg and uh so your question last night. Other people
5:19
Speaker 1: that we were interested in, yeah, and uh so, yeah,
5:25
Speaker 1: a great relationship with uh Chad Brinker in Tennessee. Uh
5:28
Speaker 1: we're talking to a couple of clubs.
5:30
Speaker 2: There and and uh yeah we were able to it
5:34
Speaker 2: worked out great.
5:34
Speaker 1: I was, you know, we were at nervous that you know,
5:36
Speaker 1: things were gonna fall apart there cause I don't know
5:39
Speaker 1: how far it would have gone.
5:40
Speaker 2: I was it felt like a long way. Fifteen fifty two.
5:42
Speaker 1: Felt like it felt like a long pretty far distance, right,
5:47
Speaker 1: So I don't he wouldn't have gotten there, he wouldn't
5:49
Speaker 1: have fallen there. But yeah, I mean it's this guy,
5:53
Speaker 1: like this is one of the best combines I've ever seen.
5:56
Speaker 2: I mean, physically he does kind of look like gam Chancellors.
6:01
Speaker 2: I think Cam would tell you he didn't test like that,
6:03
Speaker 2: but you know.
6:04
Speaker 1: To you did, yes, and what kind of does that
6:08
Speaker 1: take an extra.
6:13
Speaker 2: Absolutely?
6:14
Speaker 1: But you know we felt like we you know, we
6:15
Speaker 1: added two first round draft picks. So it's when you're
6:19
Speaker 1: doing that, it's like, all right, well you know, we're
6:22
Speaker 1: getta giving up a third round pick, and then you
6:23
Speaker 1: have to try to figure out what the third round
6:25
Speaker 1: is gonna look like once it Once it's you know, everything's.
6:28
Speaker 2: Picked apart there.
6:29
Speaker 1: And it was just evident to Mike and myself, everybody
6:34
Speaker 1: in the room that it was well worth it. What
6:37
Speaker 1: you learn about him, guys, uh, and what do you
6:40
Speaker 1: want to learn about.
6:43
Speaker 3: Well, you know, again we entered the equation late as coaches,
6:46
Speaker 3: so give us an opportunity to kind of see how
6:49
Speaker 3: he sees the game. And uh, you know, Jeff Howard
6:54
Speaker 3: did a great job, Carl Scott uh ad did a
6:57
Speaker 3: great job with those guys throughout the whole process and
7:00
Speaker 3: really getting to open up, like football wise about how
7:02
Speaker 3: he sees it and you know how we would our
7:04
Speaker 3: vision for him. And I think that started to mesh.
7:06
Speaker 6: Uh.
7:07
Speaker 3: We had a great conversation Ernest Jones and was in
7:09
Speaker 3: my office and we sat down with Nick and I
7:11
Speaker 3: gave him much of grief about you know, South Carolina football.
7:14
Speaker 3: But it was a good time, just just uh, trying
7:18
Speaker 3: to get him in a setting where he can be
7:19
Speaker 3: relaxed and get a great feel for the person and
7:22
Speaker 3: the football and the person met or meshed excuse me.
7:24
Speaker 5: And.
7:26
Speaker 3: Off we gore him to.
7:34
Speaker 6: The combine numbers that he pointed out.
7:35
Speaker 4: How you see that manifesting.
7:37
Speaker 6: Way that he plays and played downhill, he played all
7:40
Speaker 6: over the field for South Carolina.
7:42
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm Mike probably gets tired of this and our
7:46
Speaker 1: defensive staff. But I mean, I like the way I
7:49
Speaker 1: was raised in this business was with Ron Wolf was.
7:52
Speaker 2: Like, why couldn't he be a corner? I mean, he'd
7:53
Speaker 2: be a shutdown like he.
7:55
Speaker 1: Has coverage skills he has, He's just a unique But again,
7:59
Speaker 1: the coming was one of the most impressive things we've seen.
8:04
Speaker 2: I mean, not for how big and explosive he is.
8:06
Speaker 1: I mean these the all all four of these guys
8:08
Speaker 1: are incredible athletes, which is awesome because that in turn
8:13
Speaker 1: also you know, plays in the to your point of
8:17
Speaker 1: transitions onto the football field and you can see it,
8:20
Speaker 1: you know. So yeah, I mean like Elijah, Elijah really
8:26
Speaker 1: like you know, some of our coaches were like, maybe
8:29
Speaker 1: he's an AX receiver. I mean this guy's like this
8:31
Speaker 1: guy could like full route tree, like super like explosive.
8:36
Speaker 1: I mean, again, great Senior Bowl.
8:40
Speaker 2: Y man.
8:41
Speaker 5: Sorry withal uh is there kind of more patients there
8:45
Speaker 5: because you say, what, while the ceiling's really high, do
8:48
Speaker 5: you have a plan you know, kind of more unique
8:51
Speaker 5: to him to say, hey, we're gonna give this really
8:54
Speaker 5: a lot of patients and not push him through it.
8:57
Speaker 3: Yeah, we don't use patients a lot around here, is uh,
9:03
Speaker 3: but there. I mean, there's always gonna be an urgency
9:05
Speaker 3: in how we're developing our players and how we're training them,
9:08
Speaker 3: and uh, you know, Jalen's going to be right there
9:10
Speaker 3: with everybody else, but uh, yeah, I mean Sam's I mean,
9:14
Speaker 3: it's like Sam's gonna take by far and away over
9:17
Speaker 3: ninety percent of our snaps this year and whatever, whatever,
9:20
Speaker 3: however we do, however Jalen deserves and earns the right
9:24
Speaker 3: to go out there, then we'll do that.
9:27
Speaker 2: You know, if it's going to help the team. It's
9:29
Speaker 2: best for us to move the ball.
9:30
Speaker 3: And you know, give these defensive defensive coordinators some headaches,
9:34
Speaker 3: which is I'm really happy it's not gonna be uh us,
9:37
Speaker 3: so that that's awesome, And yeah, I don't want to
9:41
Speaker 3: put a timetable on it, but yeah, it's it's not
9:42
Speaker 3: an immediate need for him to go out there and
9:45
Speaker 3: be taking a bunch of snaps for us initially multiple.
9:56
Speaker 1: It's I mean, we have five guys right now, and
10:00
Speaker 1: and you know these guys are they're all outstanding people,
10:04
Speaker 1: are all competitors, all really smart guys. So yeah, I
10:09
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be a me great spot for him.
10:11
Speaker 1: It's a really cool problem I have right now.
10:16
Speaker 4: To get a sense of his will to come in
10:19
Speaker 4: and you know, sort of.
10:25
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I think it's Yeah, it's a little
10:26
Speaker 3: bit of a unique situation. But these are conversations that
10:30
Speaker 3: you know that we've had throughout the process, and Jalen
10:34
Speaker 3: has been awesome through that, through that process. Uh, it's
10:37
Speaker 3: agent Nicole One has been awesome throughout the process. And
10:40
Speaker 3: I think we've got a great plan together. So you
10:44
Speaker 3: feel the alignment and the excitement about the opportunity for
10:47
Speaker 3: kind of everybody involved. So uh, that's where're at right now.
10:50
Speaker 3: And I'm just really just in a great situation. I
10:53
Speaker 3: feel like we can kind of move forward, get the
10:55
Speaker 3: best out of everybody, and uh, let's rock and roll.
10:58
Speaker 1: And he probably said that about the draft for because
11:00
Speaker 1: he you know, we just add an explosive weapon while
11:02
Speaker 1: he develops as a quarterback, right, I mean, which rookie
11:06
Speaker 1: quarterback is gonna come in and knocking on the park
11:08
Speaker 1: right away, like everyone needs that time.
11:10
Speaker 3: So well, yeah, I think you know, in John Lude,
11:17
Speaker 3: I think Elijah is in a unique situation too where
11:21
Speaker 3: this guy could run the you know, an extensive route
11:24
Speaker 3: tree and uh, you know, to to have to account
11:27
Speaker 3: for a tight end body on the field and him
11:30
Speaker 3: also to be able to split out wide do ex
11:33
Speaker 3: receiver type of things. Bigger body that would normally we
11:37
Speaker 3: probably have right now on our roster just provides a
11:40
Speaker 3: ton of value and then he's gonna throw it, throw
11:41
Speaker 3: it in there, has the actual tight end in line
11:44
Speaker 3: and be able to kind of create some of those
11:45
Speaker 3: you know, bigger personnel formations his division we have for him.
11:49
Speaker 2: So it's really exciting. He was mentioning that a lot of.
11:56
Speaker 6: The Rocks slip route. So how does that he tried
12:00
Speaker 6: to look at a player when he's missed a lot
12:02
Speaker 6: of time and maybe wasn't being utilized or why is
12:05
Speaker 6: it heard of the threat and try to project what
12:07
Speaker 6: he can do.
12:08
Speaker 1: Well, that's exactly why he you know, W was there
12:12
Speaker 1: when we were picking at fifty. I mean, otherwise you
12:16
Speaker 1: know you have to like W like I I told
12:17
Speaker 1: you guys before, like we end up like beating these
12:19
Speaker 1: guys up so much throughout the process, but you have
12:21
Speaker 1: to be real about it.
12:22
Speaker 2: And he has missed time.
12:24
Speaker 1: But if he hasn't missed time, he's probably a like
12:26
Speaker 1: the talent's like top fifteen pick, you know, So I
12:30
Speaker 1: mean he's I mean, I this guy's guy's special. John,
12:36
Speaker 1: you start by saying this is a great dantasy Access Street.
12:39
Speaker 1: What about what about today makes you feel that way?
12:42
Speaker 1: It just feels like you know today with like the
12:45
Speaker 1: way you know, like adding Nick coming back last night,
12:50
Speaker 1: we were really you know, we had a lot of
12:51
Speaker 1: conversations about well, you know, how do we how do
12:54
Speaker 1: we do this?
12:55
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, we almost traded back up in
12:58
Speaker 2: to get Nick. Uh.
13:00
Speaker 1: Everybody was extremely passionate about it. You know, if it
13:04
Speaker 1: would have come out of the draft without him, we
13:06
Speaker 1: would have been disappointed. Now, same thing, I mean, the
13:12
Speaker 1: same thing with Elijah. I mean every everyone was talking,
13:15
Speaker 1: you know, throughout the process, throughout all of our meetings
13:18
Speaker 1: like what there's no way like how do we like
13:21
Speaker 1: what are we gonna be okay with this guy?
13:23
Speaker 2: Like what are we gonna be able to use them?
13:24
Speaker 2: You know what I mean, Like this guy is like,
13:26
Speaker 2: how do you add that guy?
13:27
Speaker 1: And and uh, it's all for like the people, the competitors,
13:32
Speaker 1: the athletes, they just feel like they all just they
13:35
Speaker 1: always feel special. I can't describe it any different than to.
13:38
Speaker 2: Say they feel special, like they feel different.
13:40
Speaker 1: And and uh, it's a great thing, like I said
13:43
Speaker 1: last night, respecting the group of players that's here right now.
13:46
Speaker 2: To add these guys in, it's gonna be outstanding.
13:49
Speaker 4: Mike, what did you learn about the person who special
13:52
Speaker 4: time around?
13:55
Speaker 2: Man? Uh?
13:57
Speaker 3: I think you just you feel the urgency and like
14:00
Speaker 3: the passion for like his his vision he wants for
14:06
Speaker 3: his career and where he wants to go. And he's
14:09
Speaker 3: incredibly determined. I mean, this guy is a tireless worker,
14:14
Speaker 3: highly respected by his teammates, highly intelligent, and he's just
14:19
Speaker 3: really determined to become a great player and a great quarterback.
14:24
Speaker 3: And we all have a lot to learn and grow
14:27
Speaker 3: and in my career and his career and as a
14:29
Speaker 3: football team, and we all we all we all see that.
14:33
Speaker 3: And but it's it felt like it was a great
14:36
Speaker 3: opportunity to add him to the mix and be able
14:38
Speaker 3: to do it together. Yeah, as a quarterback. I mean, look,
14:49
Speaker 3: quarterbacks and extend the play are incredibly difficult to defend.
14:52
Speaker 3: I mean, the worst feeling in the world is you
14:55
Speaker 3: play the first play of the play perfectly on defense
14:58
Speaker 3: and you defend it and you're like, all right, sweet,
15:00
Speaker 3: we did it, and then the guy still has the ball,
15:02
Speaker 3: and then you got to defend the next play, sometimes
15:05
Speaker 3: a third play, and he can kill you in the
15:08
Speaker 3: first play, and kill you in the second play, and
15:09
Speaker 3: kill you the third play, and it's not a fun existence,
15:13
Speaker 3: you know, to live consistently, you know.
15:15
Speaker 2: So he has that ability.
15:19
Speaker 4: In Baltimore with Lamar, it all like played into how
15:22
Speaker 4: you evaluated him in terms of what you were just
15:25
Speaker 4: talking about with the difficulty in defending that type of
15:28
Speaker 4: mobility or the ability for a quarterback to develop as
15:31
Speaker 4: a passer in the NFL.
15:33
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, I think yeah is a short answer.
15:37
Speaker 2: Of course.
15:38
Speaker 3: I mean, have so much respect for you know, that
15:40
Speaker 3: organization obviously in La Mars, obviously tremendous player, and but
15:45
Speaker 3: they're on different they're just there. You have to respect
15:48
Speaker 3: their career trajectories as independent, you know, So we we
15:52
Speaker 3: respect that, you know, we have that vision of it.
15:54
Speaker 3: But yeah, I mean, you see, you when you add
16:00
Speaker 3: people to your organization, you want to have a vision
16:02
Speaker 3: for these people. Sometimes it's bigger than they have for themselves.
16:06
Speaker 3: And then our jobs make it come to life over
16:08
Speaker 3: time when you work together on it. And that's that's
16:11
Speaker 3: how we see Jalen, you know, that's how we see
16:12
Speaker 3: all these guys, anybody that adds the organization, anybody that's
16:14
Speaker 3: on our team, it's our job as coaches.
16:17
Speaker 2: To have that vision for him.
16:19
Speaker 3: And that's what makes it so fun. You know when
16:21
Speaker 3: you see guys kind of do things that they didn't
16:24
Speaker 3: necessarily think they had the possibility of doing. And then
16:26
Speaker 3: now the team's coming together and now we're rocking and rolling.
16:28
Speaker 3: I mean, that's that's the that's the that's the stuff
16:31
Speaker 3: right there. Man, That's that's what you.
16:32
Speaker 2: Do it for.
16:33
Speaker 1: And watching those guys, you know, watching New Orleans last year,
16:36
Speaker 1: you know, before they got so banged up on the
16:38
Speaker 1: offensive line, when they're utilizing all their guys, they're just
16:41
Speaker 1: they're shifting people around, like I mean, it was really
16:45
Speaker 1: impressive what they're doing or scoring like forty points a game.
16:47
Speaker 3: You know, they have so many mechanisms to get guys
16:50
Speaker 3: around and change personnel groups and get the ball the
16:52
Speaker 3: guys inexpensively where they can let their let the guys
16:58
Speaker 3: do the things they do well. And that's that's uh again,
17:01
Speaker 3: that's one of the reasons why Hard Clinton and the
17:02
Speaker 3: rest of those guys, we have so much respect for
17:04
Speaker 3: how they operate and the you know, the creativity, but
17:06
Speaker 3: also kind of sticking to the you know, the foundation
17:09
Speaker 3: of the fundamentals too, which is like a secret so
17:11
Speaker 3: you know, kind of like a secret sauce to it,
17:13
Speaker 3: and it's gonna be a really fun journey to kind
17:16
Speaker 3: of make it come to life.
17:19
Speaker 1: Where Yeah, I'm curious according to uh, I mean, the
17:31
Speaker 1: first round is always kind of like take the first
17:34
Speaker 1: round out, so through two and so two, two and three,
17:37
Speaker 1: we've probably had about four so uh uh like now
17:43
Speaker 1: it'll start it kind of starts dissipating as we go.
17:50
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean it's always you know, we talked
17:52
Speaker 1: about for the guys last night that that for the
17:55
Speaker 1: every time a guy leaves, it's like there's how many
17:58
Speaker 1: hours when into the scouting this play, right, So but.
18:00
Speaker 2: It goes the other way too. You know, we have
18:02
Speaker 2: guys coming from the free agent board, We have guys
18:04
Speaker 2: coming from the medical board.
18:05
Speaker 1: You know, we have a grade that's uh says the
18:07
Speaker 1: guy is a really good player, but he's just not
18:09
Speaker 1: our type of person.
18:10
Speaker 2: So they come from there too. So so like.
18:13
Speaker 1: There are upsets, but then there's also like the there's
18:17
Speaker 1: big wins.
18:18
Speaker 6: It's quite a story.
18:19
Speaker 5: The uh the short not be wrapped it did? How
18:23
Speaker 5: did you guys react as you saw.
18:24
Speaker 6: That at four?
18:26
Speaker 2: How do we react? We didn't do that and I
18:29
Speaker 2: didn't react. Yeah, no, I I think you're just you're
18:31
Speaker 2: just kind of going through.
18:33
Speaker 1: We're not listening. You know, we're we're watching, we have
18:36
Speaker 1: it on, but we're not right. We don't know what
18:38
Speaker 1: the stories that are going on.
18:40
Speaker 4: How different was because of how the quarterbacks guys scatter shot.
18:44
Speaker 3: Multist round like last or six?
18:47
Speaker 4: Yeah, how did that change the dynamics and draft for
18:49
Speaker 4: you guys?
18:50
Speaker 2: For the teams? Like the trade?
18:52
Speaker 4: How sheap these person in rounds?
18:54
Speaker 5: Because the quarterbacks went?
18:58
Speaker 1: I think it just got back to the the normalcy
19:00
Speaker 1: of the other draft last year was nominally to have
19:05
Speaker 1: the you.
19:06
Speaker 2: Know, six guys go that high?
19:08
Speaker 1: Was it?
19:08
Speaker 2: Twelve?
19:09
Speaker 1: Yeah?
19:09
Speaker 2: Twelve picks and.
19:11
Speaker 4: It made our make it harder for your draft or fine,
19:13
Speaker 4: draft or trade find trade.
19:17
Speaker 2: No, not necessarily. Yeah, I mean we could've gone back
19:21
Speaker 2: right there at the more people right right there, people
19:23
Speaker 2: started rially.
19:23
Speaker 1: Pretty good, and uh like once we got into well,
19:27
Speaker 1: I think we were the first trade of the day, right.
19:29
Speaker 2: And then people started.
19:31
Speaker 1: People were definitely moving and things things really th things
19:35
Speaker 1: really start s uh started going there. We had an
19:37
Speaker 1: opportunity to go back a little bit there, and then
19:41
Speaker 1: we just decided to stay there. And and uh take challenge.
19:44
Speaker 5: You you talked about how you get stuff like NFL
19:47
Speaker 5: Europe or whatever you like, young aster reps.
19:49
Speaker 2: Yeah you mention your five quarterbacks? Yeah, how did how did.
19:52
Speaker 4: Jermen get enough reps to a young quarterback?
19:54
Speaker 5: But if it needs to develop, it's a long champ.
19:56
Speaker 2: Yeah I can do that one.
19:58
Speaker 3: Yeah, you can ask our guys. We're gonna get a
20:01
Speaker 3: maximumount of reps. And like one thing that I think
20:04
Speaker 3: we take a lot of pride in here is our
20:07
Speaker 3: threes get a ton of reps. Probably it probably speaks
20:11
Speaker 3: to like preseason record over the over time.
20:12
Speaker 2: Like we believe in development and in order.
20:15
Speaker 3: To get good at football, you get to play football,
20:17
Speaker 3: and uh they're gonna give us so shout out to
20:20
Speaker 3: the rest of the team out there. But they know this,
20:22
Speaker 3: if we're gonna for a lot at one hundred and
20:24
Speaker 3: fifty minutes, we're gonna be out there for one hundred
20:27
Speaker 3: and fifty minutes. And but the way you can do
20:29
Speaker 3: that is by changing the tempos, changing who's out on
20:33
Speaker 3: the field. The threes are getting a ton of reps.
20:35
Speaker 3: There's plenty of opportunities before and after practice to work stuff.
20:38
Speaker 3: There's walk through room, you know, there's all sorts of
20:40
Speaker 3: tools you can use to try to to ramp up
20:43
Speaker 3: those cheap, really good reps. And and then and then
20:48
Speaker 3: it's just as we go, what is what do the
20:51
Speaker 3: players need to work on to take their game the
20:52
Speaker 3: next level? And quarterbacks are the same, you know, the
20:55
Speaker 3: same vision.
20:56
Speaker 1: And he has you know, he's has thirty three career starts,
20:58
Speaker 1: you know, so he's he has played a lot of
21:01
Speaker 1: football ready. It's just it's takes it takes a minute
21:04
Speaker 1: for every rookie, right like the pro pro systems. And yeah,
21:08
Speaker 1: he's twenty one and six, and like you know, he's
21:10
Speaker 1: been through like a like a semi bench.
21:12
Speaker 2: And this guy is just he's fun. He's a really
21:14
Speaker 2: cool kid, young man. It again, he's not a kid
21:17
Speaker 2: just getting older like outside of staff, like that happens
21:25
Speaker 2: with Nicky Oh.
21:26
Speaker 3: I mean he's been a guy that h Our whole
21:30
Speaker 3: staff's been really excited about the whole process. I mean,
21:33
Speaker 3: how do you watch his tape and not you know,
21:35
Speaker 3: just see the potential of what he's become. And Uh,
21:38
Speaker 3: to our coach's credit, they they really felt strongly about it.
21:42
Speaker 3: And you want to go through the process and get
21:44
Speaker 3: the align with the scouts and the scouts all the
21:46
Speaker 3: same way. And it's our job to kind of make
21:52
Speaker 3: make it come to life now, which is the fun process,
21:54
Speaker 3: Like get in here, you know, go to rookie football
21:57
Speaker 3: school and learn what a slot formation is like there
22:00
Speaker 3: about twenty one pert. You know, it's just build it
22:02
Speaker 3: from the ground up and if you do it the
22:04
Speaker 3: right way. Uh, I really believe it could be something
22:07
Speaker 3: s something pretty special.
22:08
Speaker 6: Job to Jalen. Couple more, Jalen had ten yards per
22:12
Speaker 6: at ten to two years ago and this past season
22:14
Speaker 6: is interception right as double.
22:15
Speaker 3: But where do you view him right.
22:17
Speaker 6: Now from a passing standpoint, Where is that developed? Not
22:21
Speaker 6: just throwing the football when he's throwing, anticipation progressions, things
22:25
Speaker 6: of that nature.
22:26
Speaker 2: Oh.
22:26
Speaker 1: I think similar to like a like a stated earlier,
22:29
Speaker 1: like all the all these the whole group really like
22:31
Speaker 1: the you know, everybody's it's gonna take a minute, you know,
22:34
Speaker 1: Uh for all of them, everyone's at different different levels.
22:38
Speaker 2: He's in a unique nique category, uh with this whole.
22:40
Speaker 1: Group of quarterbacks because of these you know, he's again
22:43
Speaker 1: like the explosive athlete at the speed you know, he's
22:47
Speaker 1: you know, I saw him play live at Wisconsin and
22:49
Speaker 1: it's like, okay, well you know port, you know, great play,
22:52
Speaker 1: poor decision and he just scored from sixty yards or something,
22:55
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, he just takes off and
22:56
Speaker 1: he's gone. It's a natural, natural runner with the ball.
22:59
Speaker 1: And when Black was talking about the you know, the
23:01
Speaker 1: that that puts so much pressure on defenses and John last.
23:05
Speaker 6: Night he said that date oh sorry, he said to
23:08
Speaker 6: date three was like, are the most fun?
23:10
Speaker 5: Did this year?
23:11
Speaker 1: State?
23:11
Speaker 6: To give it a?
23:13
Speaker 2: Yeah? It did? It did just I mean, I think
23:15
Speaker 2: the excitement.
23:15
Speaker 1: Of of trading up for Nick, Elijah still being there and
23:20
Speaker 1: Jane will still be in there. I think it's pretty
23:23
Speaker 1: I think everybody every be in the room was you know,
23:26
Speaker 1: God helps God helps those who can't help themselves.
23:28
Speaker 2: And you know there's just like you know.
23:31
