But you know, 16 00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:48,080 Speaker 3: did a really good job throughout this process of of 17 00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:51,960 Speaker 3: our meetings, board work workouts, and the tape that that 18 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,640 Speaker 3: we like.

You know, right up through last week of 22 00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:05,280 Speaker 4: getting exposed to curious, when did Jackson kind of crystallize 23 00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 4: as the guy that you know, if he was there 24 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:08,080 Speaker 4: in this range that you guys all wanted. 25 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,039 Speaker 2: We were still meeting on Monday of this week, so 26 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,720 Speaker 2: again just the whole, the whole process once you finally 27 00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:16,960 Speaker 2: have all the information, and it took us a little 28 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 2: bit longer to get all the information because of the 29 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:22,240 Speaker 2: scheduling and the calendar this year. So once we had, 30 00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 2: you know, all the information, we we circled back up 31 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:26,720 Speaker 2: in a meeting and we went through it. And even 32 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:29,080 Speaker 2: on the plane ride back from our our last private workout, 33 00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,160 Speaker 2: you know, we were meeting with the offensive staff already 34 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:34,640 Speaker 2: going through everything and you know, so it started there 35 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,000 Speaker 2: and then we circled back up again on Monday, and 36 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 2: you know that's that's where we shut the door and 37 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 2: we went through everything and you know, started to set. 38 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,080 Speaker 1: How we we had the quarterbacks. 39 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,680 Speaker 4: Just started looking to move back up, and you know, 40 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 4: to make this and tell us how that kind of 41 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 4: came about, how you. 42 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 2: Decided, Yeah, it was mid early early to mid twenties. 43 00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:57,560 Speaker 2: I'm trying to remember what maybe in the twenty two 44 00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 2: twenty three range. You know, we started to look to 45 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 2: to move up, and uh, a lot of teams just 46 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:05,720 Speaker 2: decided to stay and pick. So again, you know, you 47 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:07,560 Speaker 2: try to do deals, you try to move up, and 48 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 2: you know, if if teams want to stay and pick, 49 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 2: there's there's not much you can do there. So we 50 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,239 Speaker 2: just we kept chipping away and a lot of good 51 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 2: relationships with with general managers around the league, so easy conversations. 52 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,800 Speaker 2: You know that the teams that weren't gonna weren't gonna 53 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 2: move back. You know, we're up front and pretty straightforward 54 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 2: right off the bat. So that allowed us to get 55 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,120 Speaker 2: ahead of the next team and you know, start working 56 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 2: through potential trades. Yeah they picked you know, yeah we did. 57 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,120 Speaker 2: We uh, we didn't start until you know, so wherever 58 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 2: they were. They were twenty one, I believe, So, yeah, 59 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,639 Speaker 2: we started after Pittsburgh. So we you know, again, we 60 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 2: went through all these scenarios before the day started. You know, 61 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:48,239 Speaker 2: what we're gonna do at three and then at what point, 62 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,680 Speaker 2: you know, we thought it would make sense where you know, 63 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:52,079 Speaker 2: it was important for us to hold on to pick 64 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:52,639 Speaker 2: sixty five. 65 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:54,640 Speaker 1: I'm glad we were able to hold on to that. 66 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 1: You know, I think. 67 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:58,160 Speaker 2: The the pick in the fourth round there at the 68 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,640 Speaker 2: top is is is a good pick too, So you know, 69 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 2: try to keep a couple of those picks, So we 70 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 2: gave up ninety nine, which was the comp pick, and 71 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,079 Speaker 2: we're able to keep you know, sixty five, so still 72 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:08,960 Speaker 2: gives us some ammo to you know, to draft some 73 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 2: more players tomorrow. 74 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,920 Speaker 5: When you i mean, when you buy a quarterback up 75 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 5: high and then you say we really want to get them, 76 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 5: I mean, there's a lot of moving parts to go 77 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 5: to this, right. I mean, you have to be confident 78 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 5: that these quarterbacks are going to drop and that you 79 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 5: can get up. I mean, what was your confidence level 80 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:25,959 Speaker 5: after you take caught or Okay, Now we've got to 81 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 5: see what happens that you know, these guys can just 82 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:28,959 Speaker 5: come off the board. 83 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 2: And they're going yeah, And that's that's the hard part. 84 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,400 Speaker 2: There's thirty one other teams and again, sometimes we assume 85 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 2: everybody sees things the way we do so and that's 86 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 2: not always the case. So again, you you take the 87 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 2: information you have, You try to gather as much as 88 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 2: you can throughout the day, and you know, you sometimes 89 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 2: you get a feel for what teams are doing and 90 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 2: sometimes you have no idea. So hats off to my 91 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,119 Speaker 2: staff they do a great job of making these calls 92 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 2: around the league and the pro scouting staff puts together 93 00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 2: you know needs, so you know, we have kind of 94 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 2: top priorities that the teams needs. You go off of that, Hey, 95 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 2: you know, do we need to move up here? Not 96 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 2: not really, there's you they're probably gonna go this position 97 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 2: or whatever it may be. 98 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 1: So very professional in. 99 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 2: The room, very detailed as a collaborative effort, you know, 100 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 2: amongst the group to to be able to execute the 101 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 2: way we did. 102 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:18,920 Speaker 6: So do you feel the pressure or an urgency knowing 103 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,720 Speaker 6: that there were other teams that had yet to differ quarterback? 104 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:23,600 Speaker 6: But the feeling of the league was that they were 105 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 6: looking for quarterbacks and who might be trying to come 106 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:28,040 Speaker 6: up ahead of you guys? 107 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 1: And what was that process like?

I mean 181 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 2: you see him like we have to probably teach him 182 00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 2: how to slide. You know when you watch him, you 183 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 2: know he's trying to run people over in the Senior 184 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 2: Bowl too. You know it's like, dude, you're you're in 185 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 2: an All Star game. You probably shouldn't be trying to 186 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 2: run that linebacker over, and he did that in the game. 187 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 2: So he's tough, he's competitive. You see the leadership, you know, 188 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,679 Speaker 2: seeing him in games, seeing him live, He's not afraid 189 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 2: to get on guys.

What games did you see in the 199 00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:30,240 Speaker 2: egg boll the Egg Bowl? I went to the Egg 200 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 2: Bowl this year and so we went from Dallas. We 201 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:36,559 Speaker 2: stayed over after the Dallas game on Thanksgiving, went to 202 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 2: the Egg Bowl and then the Iron Bowl. 203 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 1: So again it was just. 204 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 2: We had been studying him and uh, you know, to me, 205 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,439 Speaker 2: the accuracy, a lot of stuff that they ball talked about, accuracy, anticipation, 206 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 2: you know, there's athleticism. He's not a statue in the pocket, 207 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:53,319 Speaker 2: you know, getting the ability to throw the deep ball, 208 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,720 Speaker 2: intermediate throws, short throws, you know, a lot of RPO stuff. 209 00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 1: But again, he's in a really. 210 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:00,960 Speaker 2: Good spot where he can come in and he can 211 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 2: sit behind a couple veteran quarterbacks and learn, and you know, 212 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 2: it doesn't have to be thrown out there right away. 213 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 2: So I think it's a from a developmental standpoint and 214 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 2: ability to grow, you know, I think it's a perfect 215 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,760 Speaker 2: situation for a young quarterback an ideal world. 216 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 3: Would you like him to just sort of sit and 217 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,320 Speaker 3: in turn this year, I mean you said, good, you're. 218 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,439 Speaker 5: Time with him sort of learning. 219 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:22,040 Speaker 1: From them in the city. 220 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, i'd say all that that'll play out. You know, 221 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 3: Russell be our starter and that's how it'll be once 222 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:29,840 Speaker 3: we get started here in the spring. And you know, look, 223 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:34,320 Speaker 3: the process of developing a quarterback is just that. So 224 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,800 Speaker 3: we're going to do everything we can to develop him 225 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:40,320 Speaker 3: and bring him along. And you know, we have some 226 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:44,840 Speaker 3: good quarterbacks in the room relative to playtime, experience, some 227 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:49,719 Speaker 3: you know metals on the wall, if you will, that 228 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 3: have done a great job here these first four days. 229 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:56,320 Speaker 3: It's really early phase one, but the two of those 230 00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,959 Speaker 3: guys that that we've added have added a lot of value. 231 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,440 Speaker 3: Already through the room in terms of a leadership and 232 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 3: communication and it's been four days, so it's a long 233 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:07,560 Speaker 3: way to go with with both of those guys. But again, 234 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:09,559 Speaker 3: I want to make this about about Jackson, his night 235 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 3: young player. I think he's got a good skill set 236 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 3: and look forward to developing it with them. 237 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,880 Speaker 6: What do you think what do you think that Russ 238 00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 6: and Jamis can show Jackson? What did they What did 239 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 6: can they? 240 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:23,160 Speaker 5: Yeah? 241 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:26,000 Speaker 3: I think and that's a fair question, Patty. Look, they're 242 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:27,920 Speaker 3: learning our offense right now, so they need to worry 243 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:31,000 Speaker 3: about Russ and Jamis. They're great teammates. They've been great 244 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,520 Speaker 3: teammates these first four days to be around them, as 245 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:35,079 Speaker 3: are some of the other guys that that Joe and 246 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:38,240 Speaker 3: the staff brought in. Very happy with the additions that 247 00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 3: we've made in terms of people, but leadership too. You know, 248 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,319 Speaker 3: Holland's been fantastic. But look, those guys got a lot 249 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 3: to learn. Uh, you know, four days in we're developing 250 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:51,160 Speaker 3: a system, you know, around them, and you know, we'll 251 00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:53,200 Speaker 3: add some of the things that that Jackson does well 252 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 3: when he's out there participating, but they need to focus 253 00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,560 Speaker 3: on on doing their job the best that they can do. 254 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 3: Their leadership has been very good with all the rooms. 255 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:03,800 Speaker 3: The first four days. 256 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,360 Speaker 5: Obviously you had a choice of hip profile quarterbacks when 257 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 5: you're in the clock that you consider schedule her at 258 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:10,079 Speaker 5: all at that point. 259 00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:10,559 Speaker 6: Yeah. 260 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 2: Again, we went through an extensive process and you know, 261 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,600 Speaker 2: we moved up for for Jackson. So that's I mean again, 262 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:17,800 Speaker 2: we're fired up to having him. But you know, at 263 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:19,160 Speaker 2: the end of the day, when we went through the 264 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,280 Speaker 2: process and we ranked him, you know, this is how 265 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:24,000 Speaker 2: we had him ranked and Jackson, we felt the value 266 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:24,680 Speaker 2: matched up. 267 00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 1: With you know, where we sell the player. You started 268 00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 1: to swing when. 269 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 4: You're at the combine the comportant just from where you 270 00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 4: guys are to take a swing on what you hope 271 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 4: would be your future quarterback. 272 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess we took three since that that comment 273 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 2: I made. 274 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 4: You know, I don't think Russell gonna be hear in ten. 275 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,880 Speaker 1: Years Jackson might be right swings right. 276 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,120 Speaker 2: Yeah again, we we we traded up for him. We're 277 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 2: we're we're ecstatic to have him like he's he's he's 278 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 2: got a lot of makings of a good quarterback and 279 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,600 Speaker 2: there's a long way to go. There's a developmental process 280 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:55,320 Speaker 2: that he's gonna have to go through and again, these 281 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:58,000 Speaker 2: these offenses are not easy to learn and the execution 282 00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:01,880 Speaker 2: has to be at a high level. So again, we took 283 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:05,040 Speaker 2: three swings since the combine and added. 284 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 1: Three three new quarterbacks to the room. 285 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:07,720 Speaker 2: And you know, I'm excited about the make up at 286 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:08,160 Speaker 2: the room too. 287 00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:10,079 Speaker 1: You said you were. 288 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,480 Speaker 3: Meeting up until Monday about what you guys are going 289 00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:13,200 Speaker 3: to do at quarterback. 290 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 2: How challenging were the deliberations about you do all this 291 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 2: work on Shador, you do all this work on Jackson, 292 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:19,200 Speaker 2: How did that go? 293 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:21,080 Speaker 7: Could you take us behind the scenes on how you 294 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:22,000 Speaker 7: came to the decision. 295 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:24,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I would say it's it's very similar 296 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 3: to how they've they've always gone. 297 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:26,520 Speaker 1: Pat. 298 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,160 Speaker 3: There's a lot of good communication with i'd say a 299 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 3: select number of people that have studied the players that 300 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 3: have been on all the trips, that have been in 301 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:39,280 Speaker 3: all the meetings, and everybody has, you know, opinions, and 302 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:42,600 Speaker 3: they're they're good opinions to have.
