Welcome 0:00:20.560 --> 0:00:22.759 to Look a Man Center Podcast. I'm Logan pauls in 0:00:22.840 --> 0:00:26.400 here with Fred Smooth and Santanamos and guys, who's got 0:00:26.400 --> 0:00:29.800 it better than us? No mine, nobody. Man, we got 0:00:29.800 --> 0:00:32.400 some really exciting things happening on the offensive side of 0:00:32.400 --> 0:00:36.880 the football, specifically regarding jayde Daniels, and I think fans 0:00:36.880 --> 0:00:38.880 are excited, and should they be excited. 0:00:38.960 --> 0:00:40.920 Everybody's excited. Come on, we haven't been here. 0:00:41.000 --> 0:00:41.319 This is. 0:00:42.760 --> 0:00:45.760 We haven't been here, like the fan base is. Should 0:00:45.760 --> 0:00:48.920 be beyond excited. But just do my radio show and 0:00:49.000 --> 0:00:51.239 talking back and forth with the fans, it's like they 0:00:51.440 --> 0:00:55.240 scared to celebrate twnent. They scared to say, you know what, 0:00:55.480 --> 0:00:56.960 we here, we have arrived. 0:00:57.000 --> 0:00:58.760 I think we have a reason to kind of pump 0:00:58.800 --> 0:01:00.760 our brakes that time because we we are players. We 0:01:00.840 --> 0:01:03.600 understand that it's a long season. This is the first quarter. 0:01:03.960 --> 0:01:06.000 We want to be five hundred or better in the 0:01:06.000 --> 0:01:08.319 first quarter, but we understand there's other quarters we have 0:01:08.400 --> 0:01:08.760 to go through. 0:01:08.880 --> 0:01:09.600 And when I say. 0:01:09.520 --> 0:01:12.959 Quarters, you know, as football players, we understand if you 0:01:13.040 --> 0:01:17.440 understand we have sixteen seventeen when we played it with 0:01:17.560 --> 0:01:21.240 sixteen and it was four four quarters, So you know, 0:01:21.560 --> 0:01:23.319 we look at it like that and say, man, look, 0:01:23.600 --> 0:01:25.640 I was we were talking about this when we first 0:01:25.640 --> 0:01:28.800 got our schedule. Hopefully we're two and two or three 0:01:28.840 --> 0:01:30.959 and one going out of those first four games. 0:01:31.280 --> 0:01:34.440 We're here, we arrived. Have we been excited from the play? 0:01:34.640 --> 0:01:34.840 Yes? 0:01:35.000 --> 0:01:37.679 How many reasons to say, Man, these guys are going 0:01:37.680 --> 0:01:39.720 out there playing it kind of football that we expected. 0:01:40.000 --> 0:01:41.400 But it's a long season. 0:01:41.480 --> 0:01:44.839 Long season allowed them to continue to you know, get 0:01:45.120 --> 0:01:47.400 you know, I guess you can say to what these 0:01:47.400 --> 0:01:50.040 coaches are trying to teach them. And then by the 0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:52.760 time we could past eight games and we're still sitting 0:01:52.760 --> 0:01:56.840 pretty hey boy, stop playing playing in that postseason, all 0:01:56.880 --> 0:01:59.480 your flights and taking off from your job up and 0:01:59.640 --> 0:02:02.040 taking he's out of school. Then we can start, you know, 0:02:02.080 --> 0:02:03.800 talking about that. But I think they have a reason 0:02:03.840 --> 0:02:06.240 to be excited. But as players, we're going to always 0:02:06.280 --> 0:02:07.919 sit here and say, hey, you know what, we're happy 0:02:07.960 --> 0:02:09.720 but we're not going to get too far ahead of ourself. 0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:12.040 Do you think we have a leg up right now? 0:02:12.080 --> 0:02:16.120 Because of what I say, like months ago, the unpredictability 0:02:16.320 --> 0:02:20.240 of the offensive play calling, new coach, new offensive coordinator, 0:02:20.520 --> 0:02:22.720 don't really got to beat on what we want to 0:02:22.720 --> 0:02:24.160 do and how we want to do it. 0:02:24.200 --> 0:02:25.680 Do you think that's giving us a leg up? 0:02:25.720 --> 0:02:28.400 I think it gives you. It gives anybody a leg up. 0:02:28.440 --> 0:02:30.400 But you still got to go out there and play ball, 0:02:30.600 --> 0:02:32.400 you know what I mean. You still have to look 0:02:32.800 --> 0:02:35.560 you We've seen plenty of new staffs get together and 0:02:35.600 --> 0:02:37.560 it don't look like this, you know, And I think 0:02:37.600 --> 0:02:39.400 when you look at it, it's a lot of stuff 0:02:39.440 --> 0:02:41.960 going for us. I think won the culture. I think 0:02:42.000 --> 0:02:44.320 the culture has been set. You can see how they 0:02:44.600 --> 0:02:46.920 how they play, they play, how our coach speaks, you 0:02:46.919 --> 0:02:48.120 know what I mean. One of the things about dan 0:02:48.200 --> 0:02:50.840 Quinn I loved all the years of playing against him 0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:53.840 and watching them is you know, they move to his beat, 0:02:53.919 --> 0:02:56.280 you know what I mean. The way he came in 0:02:56.320 --> 0:02:59.079 here and said the kind of players he want. I 0:02:59.480 --> 0:03:02.320 can look at player I go down the line and say, yep, 0:03:02.400 --> 0:03:05.240 that's the damn dan Quinn player. Look, we have we 0:03:05.360 --> 0:03:07.080 have guys here that we wanted to be a Ryan. 0:03:07.160 --> 0:03:10.000 Still they're not here. They're still good players, they're just 0:03:10.040 --> 0:03:13.359 not their players. So the culture stands out more than 0:03:13.480 --> 0:03:15.760 just it's new and people can't get a you know, 0:03:16.560 --> 0:03:17.320 but a beat on it. 0:03:17.400 --> 0:03:20.320 But I feel like also being being that. 0:03:20.760 --> 0:03:22.760 Some of the times when you have a new offense 0:03:22.800 --> 0:03:24.880 and you have young guys, because we've been here with 0:03:25.240 --> 0:03:27.519 you know, with this same type of you know far 0:03:27.560 --> 0:03:31.800 as you know offense and a new start at quarterback, 0:03:32.280 --> 0:03:34.640 you know, you have to give him time to really 0:03:34.680 --> 0:03:38.600 say is this a first year you know what I mean, 0:03:38.760 --> 0:03:40.560 like you know flue or is there going to be 0:03:40.600 --> 0:03:42.600 something that you can I look at it as man, 0:03:42.640 --> 0:03:45.360 he's a young guy, and I see every game so 0:03:45.520 --> 0:03:48.440 far that I watched him play, he's gotten better from 0:03:48.440 --> 0:03:50.600 something that you know, that he made a mistake on. 0:03:51.040 --> 0:03:52.520 To me, I don't think none of this stuff is 0:03:52.520 --> 0:03:54.720 a flu I think he's he's a kid that's been 0:03:54.800 --> 0:03:57.200 well groomed in this game and he's ready to play 0:03:57.240 --> 0:03:58.440 football and he's showing it every week. 0:03:58.480 --> 0:03:59.840 Yeah. The thing I keep coming back to with this 0:03:59.880 --> 0:04:02.520 is like he's had he has the highest completion percentage 0:04:02.560 --> 0:04:06.520 in a four game span. Ever. Ever, so like you're 0:04:06.520 --> 0:04:08.920 talking Jane Daniels is what is He's eighty two point 0:04:08.960 --> 0:04:12.480 one right, number two, Peyton Manning eighty one point eight, 0:04:12.800 --> 0:04:15.720 number three, Drew Brees, number four, Tom Brady, number five, 0:04:15.800 --> 0:04:18.800 Kurt Warner. Those dudes are goat meal. They're all in 0:04:18.800 --> 0:04:20.360 the Hall of Fame. Would you call him? You called 0:04:20.440 --> 0:04:23.360 him the yellow Jacket, Yeah, the yellow Jacket, the Yellow 0:04:23.440 --> 0:04:26.240 Jacket crew man, Like they are impressive. So for me, 0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:29.000 it's like I keep coming back, like I'm excited. Jane 0:04:29.080 --> 0:04:32.640 Daniels is playing excellent football. It's like, can you sustain 0:04:32.760 --> 0:04:34.880 that level of efficiency? It seems like it's going to 0:04:34.960 --> 0:04:38.480 normalize at some point. Yeah, but like to what Tanna said, 0:04:38.520 --> 0:04:42.720 like he's getting better at like managing the game, and like, 0:04:42.839 --> 0:04:44.159 you know, I think when you look at the Arizona 0:04:44.200 --> 0:04:47.280 game specifically, like even if his efficiency comes down a 0:04:47.320 --> 0:04:49.920 little bit, which I'm expecting it to, Like I think 0:04:49.960 --> 0:04:52.520 the types of throws we've seen, like that out to 0:04:52.600 --> 0:04:54.440 Terry where he's kind of laying it over that hook 0:04:54.520 --> 0:04:57.120 player in front of that cover three corner, Like that's 0:04:57.160 --> 0:04:59.080 a big time throw. The throw to Luke McCaffrey where 0:04:59.080 --> 0:05:00.800 he's like ripping it in there right, the throw, the 0:05:00.839 --> 0:05:03.720 terror of the touchdown. Those are throws we haven't seen before. 0:05:04.000 --> 0:05:07.240 And it makes me think he's improving, even if his 0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:09.880 efficiency comes down, you know what I'm saying. And that's 0:05:09.880 --> 0:05:13.280 something like I'm excited. I think he's I think he's 0:05:13.279 --> 0:05:15.960 got it, but like I don't know, Man, it's one 0:05:15.960 --> 0:05:16.640 of those things, like. 0:05:16.800 --> 0:05:20.640 He does the regular things at a high clip, right, 0:05:20.720 --> 0:05:23.920 the medium things, the things that everybody can't see, Like 0:05:24.000 --> 0:05:26.760 Caleb Williams right now is not feel in the pocket 0:05:26.800 --> 0:05:28.640 the way it is, and he's not doing the regular 0:05:28.680 --> 0:05:30.960 things at a high level. Like I'm not saying these 0:05:31.000 --> 0:05:34.560 guys just all his special throws are special, but I'm saying, 0:05:34.800 --> 0:05:37.960 be special on routine things. And that's what I think 0:05:38.040 --> 0:05:40.799 he is doing. So I think sky's the limit because 0:05:40.800 --> 0:05:43.080 he does does them things that's such a high clip, 0:05:43.279 --> 0:05:45.120 they will always be available for him. 0:05:45.200 --> 0:05:46.680 And then you have great coaching. 0:05:46.760 --> 0:05:49.160 I think, you know, we we can sit here and 0:05:49.240 --> 0:05:52.039 rant and rave about you know, how special Jaden is, 0:05:52.080 --> 0:05:55.240 how specially our offensive line have been playing, but all 0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:57.200 that goes back to the coach who's coaching. Man, that's 0:05:57.240 --> 0:06:00.159 Cliff Kingsburg, Cliff, you got to give you know, you 0:06:00.160 --> 0:06:02.120 got to you got to tip your head off to him. 0:06:02.160 --> 0:06:04.880 Just seeing some of the things that I've seen, it's like, 0:06:05.440 --> 0:06:06.920 you know, how like when you go into a game 0:06:06.960 --> 0:06:09.960 and you say, you know it's a copycat league. We've 0:06:10.000 --> 0:06:12.440 seen this week after week. Got the week from my 0:06:12.560 --> 0:06:16.160 defensive standpoint, every team took what Tampa did and killed 0:06:16.240 --> 0:06:18.320 us with and been trying to do it. They coming, 0:06:18.360 --> 0:06:20.480 they bring it in that bunch, they bringing in guys clothes, 0:06:20.480 --> 0:06:22.280 they're trying to get those crosses. They're trying to get 0:06:22.320 --> 0:06:24.840 us to say, you know, seeing we're gonna communicate in 0:06:24.839 --> 0:06:27.240 the second are you always talk about communicating, seeing that 0:06:27.279 --> 0:06:29.080 we're gonna box it, seeing we're gonna lie that shut 0:06:29.120 --> 0:06:30.880 up shot across to be picked up by somebody else 0:06:30.920 --> 0:06:32.880 On the other side, Teams are hitting us with that 0:06:33.000 --> 0:06:35.279 every week, and I'm watching them like they learn. 0:06:35.200 --> 0:06:37.000 And they go offensively for us. 0:06:37.279 --> 0:06:39.479 It's the same thing team saying this is what they're 0:06:39.480 --> 0:06:41.200 gonna do, so we're gonna throw this at them, and 0:06:41.240 --> 0:06:42.880 then they said, oh no, we're not throwing that at 0:06:43.000 --> 0:06:46.600 because they ready, they ready for your punch. They not fitnup, 0:06:46.640 --> 0:06:48.880 be food by that Hawaiian punch. Got action you do 0:06:48.960 --> 0:06:51.200 you want a Hawaiian punch. So that's what I love 0:06:51.240 --> 0:06:53.680 about what's going on because one, yes, you have a 0:06:53.760 --> 0:06:56.840 kid that's playing a high level fast early in his 0:06:57.560 --> 0:07:00.400 career as a rookie, but you have a coach that 0:07:00.560 --> 0:07:03.720 been here, done that, and understand where he went right 0:07:03.760 --> 0:07:05.200 at and what he was wrong at and when he 0:07:05.240 --> 0:07:06.200 did last time. 0:07:06.279 --> 0:07:07.640 So I just got to get a lot of. 0:07:07.640 --> 0:07:11.320 The way he digests what he's seeing is special to me. 0:07:11.920 --> 0:07:15.640 Like digesting it, processing it, get the ball out this 0:07:15.840 --> 0:07:18.160 This is the biggest thing for a rookie quarterback. Like 0:07:18.200 --> 0:07:21.160 I could always tell when a quarterback ain't ain't processing 0:07:21.200 --> 0:07:24.720 what he's seeing. Our guys processing what he's seeing. He's 0:07:24.760 --> 0:07:27.080 taking what the defense is giving him. And that's the 0:07:27.280 --> 0:07:30.440 biggest lesson for a rookie quarterback. Don't try to be 0:07:30.480 --> 0:07:33.400 a hero throw the ball with a defense is giving 0:07:33.440 --> 0:07:34.040 it up at. 0:07:34.080 --> 0:07:36.320 Yeah, but I think that's like this is where it's like, 0:07:36.360 --> 0:07:38.600 really I think this is really like an interesting football 0:07:39.000 --> 0:07:41.880 conversation because what Tanna is saying is it's the coaching 0:07:41.920 --> 0:07:43.360 and you're saying, oh, it's the player. But I do 0:07:43.400 --> 0:07:46.640 think it's symbiotic right there. It is they hold hands 0:07:46.920 --> 0:07:48.560 hand in hand, right, And I think when you look 0:07:48.600 --> 0:07:51.400 at the Arizona game, it's a perfect example of what 0:07:51.400 --> 0:07:53.600 you're talking about, Tanna. It's like Cliff has done a 0:07:53.640 --> 0:07:55.800 really good job of being committed to running the football. 0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:58.160 So we're running, you know, thirty runs in a game, 0:07:58.280 --> 0:08:00.760 twenty twenty five runs, whatever it is. Then in terms 0:08:00.800 --> 0:08:04.600 of passes, drop back passes, there's these opportunities where, hey, 0:08:04.680 --> 0:08:06.920 we're going to run quick game, and Jayden Daniels has 0:08:06.920 --> 0:08:08.920 been excellent a quick game, Like we talked about it 0:08:08.960 --> 0:08:11.720 yesterday on the Command Center show. Like his ability to 0:08:11.760 --> 0:08:14.240 get the ball, like to accelerate his feet and get 0:08:14.240 --> 0:08:16.800 the ball out of his hands quickly is almost a 0:08:16.880 --> 0:08:19.160 cheat code on like those little sticks, those are your 0:08:19.160 --> 0:08:21.400 five yard outs, little sit routes, things like that. And 0:08:21.480 --> 0:08:23.640 so those are like maybe ten of your throws a game. 0:08:24.000 --> 0:08:27.080 And then you've got keepers and boots and those are 0:08:27.120 --> 0:08:30.640 traditionally very low leverage throws because it's not a complicated read. 0:08:30.840 --> 0:08:32.000 You go to get it out on time. 0:08:32.120 --> 0:08:34.679 You mitigate the protections, right because you're moving the pocket, 0:08:34.720 --> 0:08:36.960 you're changing the launch angle, and so all of a sudden, 0:08:37.120 --> 0:08:39.120 in a game where he's dropping back to throw thirty 0:08:39.120 --> 0:08:42.199 five times, he's got you know, seven quick game, he's 0:08:42.200 --> 0:08:45.480 got seven play action keepers, he's got five where he scrambles. 0:08:45.640 --> 0:08:47.760 And then when you get into the nitty gritty of it, 0:08:47.760 --> 0:08:50.280 it's like you got ten that are like hard. And 0:08:50.360 --> 0:08:52.440 I look at other offenses around the league and I'm like, 0:08:52.960 --> 0:08:56.320 these other quarterbacks they're leveraged way more acutely than that. 0:08:56.400 --> 0:08:58.360 And so I think that's something that's important for fans 0:08:58.360 --> 0:09:01.160 to understand, and it's important to to keep that in perspective. 0:09:01.240 --> 0:09:03.719 Is it's like they're working together. It's not like this 0:09:03.720 --> 0:09:05.600 guy gets the credit and this guy gets the credit. 0:09:05.840 --> 0:09:08.080 It's like they they they are, they're hand in hand. 0:09:08.080 --> 0:09:10.080 And again I look back at we talked about this 0:09:10.160 --> 0:09:13.600 yesterday too. The offense they don't get in bad down 0:09:13.640 --> 0:09:16.760 in distance, always had a sticks. I think in the 0:09:16.800 --> 0:09:19.760 last game there was three third and tens in the 0:09:19.800 --> 0:09:23.280 whole game, and then against Cincinnati there was three. And 0:09:23.280 --> 0:09:24.520 then if you look at the first two games, you 0:09:24.559 --> 0:09:26.800 know me, they were there were sixteen, right, so it 0:09:26.920 --> 0:09:29.320 was way up. So obviously they're becoming more efficient because 0:09:29.360 --> 0:09:31.840 Jayden knows when to scramble, Like you're talking about Cliff's 0:09:31.840 --> 0:09:34.520 calling a good game and just elevating the entire offense. 0:09:34.559 --> 0:09:37.600 And and I think that's that's hard for fans. It's 0:09:37.640 --> 0:09:40.560 hard for people in general to cross. Yeah, right, But 0:09:40.600 --> 0:09:42.839 like you've been a part of staffs and teams where 0:09:42.880 --> 0:09:45.240 it's like, this guy's a beast, you know what I'm saying. 0:09:45.440 --> 0:09:49.120 So like in terms of future and development, like where 0:09:49.280 --> 0:09:51.240 like where's the road for jayde And you know what 0:09:51.240 --> 0:09:52.920 I'm saying like that, because that's the thing. It's like 0:09:53.000 --> 0:09:55.160 right now, he's he's this. It's it's like it's like 0:09:55.200 --> 0:09:56.640 we're kind of in a I don't want to say, 0:09:56.640 --> 0:09:59.120 a simpler version of an offense. But like seeing some 0:09:59.200 --> 0:10:01.920 of those throws versus this is Cincinnati, seeing some of 0:10:01.920 --> 0:10:04.640 those shows versuserves on, I'm like, he's got the ability 0:10:04.679 --> 0:10:05.040 to do me. 0:10:05.280 --> 0:10:08.400 Lord, they're layering it every game, They're adding a little 0:10:08.400 --> 0:10:10.360 bit more to the play every game. 0:10:10.720 --> 0:10:11.720 So where is he headed? 0:10:11.760 --> 0:10:11.960 To me? 0:10:12.320 --> 0:10:14.880 He's a dual threat right now, He's a I could 0:10:14.880 --> 0:10:16.480 beat you with my feet, I could beat you with 0:10:16.559 --> 0:10:18.640 my Where he's headed is a triple threat. 0:10:18.840 --> 0:10:20.439 I beat you with my feet, I beat. 0:10:20.240 --> 0:10:22.040 You with my arm and now I run outside the 0:10:22.040 --> 0:10:24.960 pocket to pass the ball like Patrick Mahomes. Now you 0:10:25.040 --> 0:10:28.200 become a three headed monster that we on defense have 0:10:28.400 --> 0:10:29.240 no answer for U. 0:10:29.400 --> 0:10:31.520 You know, I think too, you know when you look 0:10:31.559 --> 0:10:33.920 at it, I mean the Scott's a limit. I think 0:10:33.960 --> 0:10:36.679 when you think about it, when you look at certain 0:10:36.800 --> 0:10:39.960 offenses in this league that's efficient and that's having success. 0:10:40.360 --> 0:10:42.880 And I just throw out let's throw out there Cincinnati 0:10:42.960 --> 0:10:46.600 because I love what I saw in Joe Burrow at 0:10:46.640 --> 0:10:48.960 the time. Like Joe Burrow showed me the other day 0:10:49.000 --> 0:10:52.880 that he has complete control of what's going on him. 0:10:53.000 --> 0:10:54.400 You show me something, I'm gonna make you. 0:10:54.440 --> 0:10:56.400 Now I believe me again, you feel me, I believe 0:10:56.559 --> 0:10:58.200 And so I look at the. 0:10:58.080 --> 0:11:00.400 Potential of what we have with Jayden. 0:11:00.920 --> 0:11:04.800 It's on that level I feel like he has when 0:11:04.800 --> 0:11:08.160 a guy broke down the first throw the terry on 0:11:08.160 --> 0:11:10.200 the left side of the field in Cincinnati game, when 0:11:10.679 --> 0:11:12.839 when he got a little pressure, Jane backed out of 0:11:12.880 --> 0:11:14.760 there and threw it up here and he went out 0:11:14.800 --> 0:11:17.040 of bound. And so they say what the defense say, Okay, 0:11:17.080 --> 0:11:19.200 when I show zero, this is what he gonna do 0:11:19.640 --> 0:11:22.120 it show zero again. This time turns on the right side, 0:11:22.480 --> 0:11:24.600 and this time he stood in the pain and nohing 0:11:24.640 --> 0:11:26.640 know what. Last time I backed out of there too 0:11:26.679 --> 0:11:28.839 far and I overthrew him. I throw at a bound 0:11:28.960 --> 0:11:31.120 and I'm gonna stand here, Takey's head. I'm gonna throw 0:11:31.160 --> 0:11:33.319 it early so it can give him a chance to 0:11:33.320 --> 0:11:36.080 get under it. To me, see, just that one little 0:11:36.080 --> 0:11:38.760 clip I saw from that dude break that down showed 0:11:38.800 --> 0:11:39.760 me what we're talking about. 0:11:39.960 --> 0:11:43.680 He's learning on the job. It's not taking him five 0:11:43.760 --> 0:11:45.200 games to understand that. 0:11:45.240 --> 0:11:47.440 I've been around here where we were like, throw the 0:11:47.480 --> 0:11:50.840 ball to him. He's open, he's your read. I've been 0:11:50.880 --> 0:11:52.960 in those meetings and I'm hot because I'm the guy. 0:11:53.240 --> 0:11:53.840 You know what I'm saying. 0:11:53.880 --> 0:11:56.120 So I understand what it's like to be a receiver 0:11:56.520 --> 0:11:58.640 and not get the look from a guy. And I'm 0:11:58.679 --> 0:12:00.640 not talking about a young guy. I'm talking about it. Have 0:12:00.640 --> 0:12:02.840 got Ben Hill for seven years. You see what I'm saying. 0:12:02.880 --> 0:12:06.040 So when I'm seeing a kid do that, disguis's the limit. 0:12:06.040 --> 0:12:06.600 Because if I. 0:12:06.520 --> 0:12:09.200 See Joe Burrow being able to say, hey, I'm gonna 0:12:09.200 --> 0:12:11.480 take that shot. We saw early in the preseason he 0:12:11.520 --> 0:12:13.400 took a shot when coach didn called the play Yeah. 0:12:13.400 --> 0:12:15.640 So if he's showing me that that early, that's where 0:12:15.640 --> 0:12:17.720 he's head with this. What's what they're gonna allow him 0:12:17.720 --> 0:12:18.439 to do eventually? 0:12:18.520 --> 0:12:21.240 This is what fifty college football games does. 0:12:21.760 --> 0:12:25.720 Like he didn't seem pretty much everything you can see 0:12:25.720 --> 0:12:27.040 from a college perspective. 0:12:27.880 --> 0:12:30.960 But then you look at Joe Joe Knicks, right, Bo Knicks, 0:12:31.000 --> 0:12:33.920 Sir Nicks. Yeah, Like, and he's he played, he's got 0:12:33.960 --> 0:12:36.880 the most starts in college football thousand and he's struggling too. 0:12:36.960 --> 0:12:39.679 But I go back to the coaching, go to coaching, yea, 0:12:39.679 --> 0:12:41.800 how much they putting on boon Nick's play everything. 0:12:41.880 --> 0:12:43.400 See what I'm saying everything, That's how I. 0:12:43.400 --> 0:12:43.800 Look at it. 0:12:43.880 --> 0:12:45.880 Yeah, one hundred percent. And I think the thing like 0:12:45.920 --> 0:12:48.240 the Tennis point, Like, obviously he's got the highest completion 0:12:48.360 --> 0:12:51.280 percentage of anybody ever through first four for the first 0:12:51.280 --> 0:12:54.000 four games, right, and you're talking about Tom Brady, Gino Smith, 0:12:54.080 --> 0:12:56.240 Kyler Murray, the other guys on that list. But the 0:12:56.320 --> 0:12:59.880 thing that's exciting, that's really awesome because it shows his efficiency. 0:13:00.160 --> 0:13:02.240 But the thing that gets me really juiced to Tennis 0:13:02.320 --> 0:13:05.880 point is every week he's gotten better and and and 0:13:05.920 --> 0:13:08.439 the percentage, the completion percentage is up and down right. 0:13:08.480 --> 0:13:11.400 You know, obviously it's obviously it's almost perfect game. It's 0:13:11.400 --> 0:13:15.320 almost perfect ca But in terms of throws, in terms 0:13:15.320 --> 0:13:17.880 of how you're handling stuff, like week one, we're getting 0:13:17.880 --> 0:13:19.960 heated up by top bowls. We look a little unsettled. 0:13:19.960 --> 0:13:21.720 We're not sitting in the pocket, We're getting out there. 0:13:21.840 --> 0:13:24.199 It starts game, and then first half of the Giants game. 0:13:24.240 --> 0:13:26.160 What was it, right, It was a little kind of 0:13:26.160 --> 0:13:28.000 and then obvious, all of a sudden, we start settling 0:13:28.000 --> 0:13:31.880 in Cincinnati. We're balling Arizona. Man, we got zero, didn't 0:13:31.880 --> 0:13:33.880 even blink. We're throwing that. We're throwing then out of terror. 0:13:34.040 --> 0:13:36.240 And then we were already talked about those kind of 0:13:36.679 --> 0:13:39.760 those high leverage throws and then the decision making when 0:13:39.760 --> 0:13:42.880 to scramble, when not to scramble. He's getting better each 0:13:42.920 --> 0:13:44.640 and every week, and so I think that's the thing 0:13:45.160 --> 0:13:49.480 that gives me the most optimism. Like there's gonna I 0:13:49.559 --> 0:13:51.760 might sound like a hater, there's gonna be there's gonna 0:13:51.760 --> 0:13:54.839 be a regression in completion percentage, Like you cannot play it, you. 0:13:54.760 --> 0:13:56.720 Can't play this high level the hotel. 0:13:56.840 --> 0:13:59.240 But if he shows the ability to Fred's point, of 0:13:59.280 --> 0:14:01.400 being able to do the easy things like we talked 0:14:01.400 --> 0:14:04.160 about this, like with uh with Robert Griffin like he 0:14:04.240 --> 0:14:07.080 is he was a big play shot down the field guy, 0:14:07.200 --> 0:14:10.480 big play back. There's so much variance there. You can't 0:14:10.480 --> 0:14:12.600 sustain an offensive because he ain't. 0:14:12.440 --> 0:14:13.319 Doing the middle, right. 0:14:13.640 --> 0:14:15.640 I don't even want to see us sustain that because 0:14:15.640 --> 0:14:17.800 I understand it's gonna be a letdown somewhere, so I'd 0:14:17.840 --> 0:14:20.040 rather see them just like going into the last week game, 0:14:20.360 --> 0:14:24.240 everybody was talking at nauseum all week long about a turnover, bro, Like, 0:14:24.480 --> 0:14:26.000 stop putting it out, there's gonna happen. 0:14:26.040 --> 0:14:28.120 But guess what the turnover happened? And what he did? 0:14:28.920 --> 0:14:29.120 Learn? 0:14:29.280 --> 0:14:31.120 All Right, I got you, you got me once and 0:14:31.280 --> 0:14:33.200 I ain't gonna do it again. And that's that's all 0:14:33.200 --> 0:14:34.880 we're saying right now. All three of us are saying 0:14:34.880 --> 0:14:37.720 the same thing. We understand it's gonna be highs and 0:14:37.760 --> 0:14:39.520 that's gonna be lows. But if you show me that 0:14:39.560 --> 0:14:42.080 you can stay in the middle between all those and 0:14:42.160 --> 0:14:45.080 still come out on top every time, even after you fail, 0:14:45.680 --> 0:14:46.040 that's what. 0:14:46.000 --> 0:14:46.640 We want to see. 0:14:46.680 --> 0:14:48.920 That's how you be a good team, and that's how 0:14:48.920 --> 0:14:51.720 you build around the quarterback. Because you know that this 0:14:51.760 --> 0:14:54.560 guy's not gonna blink even when he makes the worst 0:14:54.600 --> 0:14:55.560 decision or mistake. 0:14:55.720 --> 0:14:56.000 Yeah. 0:14:56.040 --> 0:14:58.680 And we talked about the highest completion percentages ever, right, 0:14:58.720 --> 0:15:00.760 and we're talking about the prank man that Drew Brees, 0:15:00.800 --> 0:15:04.000 the Kurt Warner, the Tom Brady. Right, they were not 0:15:04.720 --> 0:15:06.760 hunting big plays, but what they were is they were 0:15:06.880 --> 0:15:10.640 crazy efficient. Like on the on the ten yard out, 0:15:10.800 --> 0:15:12.520 on the throw over the middle of the field, they 0:15:12.520 --> 0:15:15.160 could operate that. And I think you're starting to see 0:15:15.240 --> 0:15:17.400 him grow into that a little bit, right, And Cliff's 0:15:17.400 --> 0:15:19.680 done a good job, like you said, bringing him along, 0:15:19.760 --> 0:15:21.400 And so I think that's the thing that gets me 0:15:21.480 --> 0:15:23.640 excited is there's other guys when you watch other rookie 0:15:23.720 --> 0:15:26.880 quarterbacks around the league and other even veteran quarterbacks that 0:15:27.000 --> 0:15:29.760 have a hard time doing that, and he's shown an 0:15:29.800 --> 0:15:31.640 ability to get that done and that means to me, 0:15:32.080 --> 0:15:33.920 this is going to be more sustainable long term. And 0:15:33.960 --> 0:15:36.240 then I think the other thing is sometimes when it's 0:15:36.280 --> 0:15:39.600 not perfect, his ability to scramble and make it perfect 0:15:39.680 --> 0:15:41.920 and get you to third and four, just get you 0:15:41.960 --> 0:15:44.040 to third and four. It just helps you out a 0:15:44.080 --> 0:15:44.680 ton if you. 0:15:44.680 --> 0:15:45.440 Really watch it. 0:15:45.800 --> 0:15:46.320 Go ahead for it. 0:15:46.440 --> 0:15:49.080 No, No, it's two routes that is conus hate. We caught 0:15:49.120 --> 0:15:53.400 him back breakers and if quarterbacks continually complete these two 0:15:53.760 --> 0:15:57.000 routes on us, we considered it almost unstopped. 0:15:57.280 --> 0:15:59.040 And it's a out route. 0:15:58.680 --> 0:16:02.160 In between five and teen yards and they comeback if 0:16:02.200 --> 0:16:05.240 a quarterback continues to do that. You noticed I didn't 0:16:05.240 --> 0:16:08.000 say the god rap. I didn't say the posts. Them 0:16:08.080 --> 0:16:11.160 two routes keep drives going like drive. 0:16:11.360 --> 0:16:13.320 See, I've been here before and I had to. I 0:16:13.360 --> 0:16:16.239 had to get this out there. I've been around quarterbacks 0:16:16.280 --> 0:16:18.240 like a Jaden Dames. I had one in college, I 0:16:18.240 --> 0:16:19.200 had one in high school. 0:16:19.480 --> 0:16:20.680 Now I had a few in the league. You know 0:16:20.720 --> 0:16:21.960 what I mean. They wasn't the same. 0:16:22.040 --> 0:16:23.800 You know when it comes to just you know, raw 0:16:23.960 --> 0:16:26.800 Tagg being able to you know, have that precision and 0:16:27.080 --> 0:16:32.240 being decisive like him. But I'm saying this because eventually 0:16:32.280 --> 0:16:34.800 the receiver's gonna know, like when he break the pocket, 0:16:35.600 --> 0:16:38.360 he's so accurate, he's gonna hit me if I find 0:16:38.400 --> 0:16:40.600 a way to get open. And now you're gonna get 0:16:40.640 --> 0:16:43.560 guys out there about to kill themselve to make sure 0:16:43.600 --> 0:16:45.400
