I did. 0:01:18.360 --> 0:01:21.559 I wanted to have a flash back of my player days. 0:01:21.840 --> 0:01:26.119 So, according to Todd Archer, the cop was already released. 0:01:26.160 --> 0:01:29.160 Offensive line and Collins. Other cuts are offensive, she said. 0:01:29.200 --> 0:01:33.080 Cornerback Christian Matthew, offensive line and Nick Broker, wide receiver 0:01:33.200 --> 0:01:37.080 Josh Kelly, tight end John Stevens junior, Tyler uh Neville 0:01:37.120 --> 0:01:40.199 another tight end cut cornerback Troy Pride and defensive tackle 0:01:40.520 --> 0:01:42.160 den Zell Dackson. 0:01:42.280 --> 0:01:47.200 Those are the early cuts. More to come. So surprise anyone, 0:01:47.200 --> 0:01:49.840 in surprise, not too crazy. 0:01:49.840 --> 0:01:53.240 LC, No the lolling surprised. 0:01:53.400 --> 0:01:57.520 No, Okay, So the surprising thing is this, Dak said 0:01:57.640 --> 0:01:59.360 he wanted him, you know what I mean. So I 0:01:59.720 --> 0:02:02.160 thought that he would get more of an opportunity to 0:02:02.280 --> 0:02:05.000 fulfill Dak's needs. You know what I'm saying, the Dak's warrants. 0:02:05.480 --> 0:02:07.560 Under the circumstances. It didn't happen a waight like that. 0:02:07.720 --> 0:02:10.200 So you know, I just thought, like I'm not surprised, 0:02:10.280 --> 0:02:12.320 but just thought he would have a little longer leash. 0:02:12.919 --> 0:02:15.880 Yeah, I agree with you that it didn't surprise me, 0:02:15.960 --> 0:02:17.720 but I thought he would have been like the last 0:02:17.760 --> 0:02:21.600 minute cut, like you you need that veteran leadership, like 0:02:21.639 --> 0:02:24.880 you said, you're starting quarterback being avid for you and 0:02:24.919 --> 0:02:27.359 we all know that once Jerry like his guys that 0:02:27.440 --> 0:02:29.760 he paid, he liked, you know, he keeps them around. 0:02:29.760 --> 0:02:31.720 And so for me, it was like I thought he 0:02:31.760 --> 0:02:34.960 would have been like a last minute cut, but based 0:02:35.000 --> 0:02:36.679 off of his reps and stuff like that, like I 0:02:36.800 --> 0:02:39.480 seen you trying to improve your value coaching them up. 0:02:39.520 --> 0:02:43.600 But the stars it was right there. I just didn't 0:02:43.600 --> 0:02:45.200 think it was to be like, hey, we're gonna tell 0:02:45.200 --> 0:02:47.840 you early so you know you can go out there fishing. 0:02:47.880 --> 0:02:49.800 But they might have did that, so you know, he 0:02:49.919 --> 0:02:52.040 maybe he can go fill out these other teams and 0:02:52.080 --> 0:02:54.120 say hey, I'm gonna be released and maybe get a 0:02:54.200 --> 0:02:54.799 jump start on this. 0:02:55.000 --> 0:02:58.680 So he definitely had the move right show my words 0:02:58.720 --> 0:02:59.959 as a coach on the sideline. 0:03:00.280 --> 0:03:01.359 I can get it, I can do. 0:03:01.320 --> 0:03:02.000 This, do this. 0:03:02.120 --> 0:03:04.880 You know, you get injuries over here, coaching up the 0:03:04.880 --> 0:03:07.280 next best thing, your second round pick right there, showing 0:03:07.320 --> 0:03:09.400 them the nuances to understand the game. 0:03:09.480 --> 0:03:10.840 I could be an extra coach out there. 0:03:10.840 --> 0:03:15.240 I get it. Get your fact. 0:03:15.400 --> 0:03:19.040 Wasn't surprised, though. It kind of surprised me slightly, and 0:03:19.120 --> 0:03:19.960 we talked about this. 0:03:19.880 --> 0:03:20.640 In the text. 0:03:20.760 --> 0:03:24.640 Was John Stevens the tight end I thought I was. 0:03:25.000 --> 0:03:26.919 I thought he had something that had a little something. 0:03:26.919 --> 0:03:29.720 I mean, you got the injury last year. I'm seeing 0:03:29.760 --> 0:03:32.959 him bounce back from a big body tight Enderson dealing 0:03:33.080 --> 0:03:33.919 with some issues. 0:03:34.120 --> 0:03:35.760 We're talking about him. I thought he was. 0:03:35.840 --> 0:03:37.520 I thought he would come in here and at least, 0:03:37.680 --> 0:03:41.280 you know, maybe be that last second squad. He might 0:03:41.320 --> 0:03:42.840 be able to come back on Pea squad he might 0:03:42.880 --> 0:03:44.400 be able to come back. But yeah, I thought he 0:03:44.480 --> 0:03:46.040 was going to be had a chance at least. 0:03:46.040 --> 0:03:52.240 But yeah, when they brought Leal back, first thing, he 0:03:52.360 --> 0:03:55.320 was skinny right compared to weight left. I mean, he 0:03:55.880 --> 0:03:58.240 looked like he retired, you know, because because you guys 0:03:58.280 --> 0:04:02.360 know very well to two things happened to fat. 0:04:03.320 --> 0:04:06.120 Fat guys get skinny, Skinny guys get big, you know. 0:04:08.480 --> 0:04:11.440 And I remember when when that had the retirement for tiers. 0:04:11.480 --> 0:04:14.600 When they came back, first off, tiring looked good. Always 0:04:15.640 --> 0:04:18.800 he definitely I ain't coming back. He's really slim down. 0:04:18.920 --> 0:04:21.080 And then all looked really good too. And so when 0:04:21.120 --> 0:04:22.480 they brought him out to camp and I saw like 0:04:22.760 --> 0:04:27.240 he's still you know, still slim. And then when they 0:04:27.240 --> 0:04:28.920 said they weren't even gonna put it on the left side, 0:04:28.920 --> 0:04:30.680 they were, we're gonna put it right. We're gonna put 0:04:30.720 --> 0:04:35.000 him at guard out of the tackle. Oh okay. So yeah, 0:04:35.040 --> 0:04:42.640 they did a dak a favor. But he didn't play. 0:04:42.920 --> 0:04:45.160 That's theerto thing in the preseason, right, he wasn't playing 0:04:45.320 --> 0:04:47.000 out there practicing, he wasn't running with the ones, he 0:04:47.040 --> 0:04:49.880 wasn't doing anything that made you say. 0:04:49.880 --> 0:04:51.719 Okay, we're gonna try to get this guy ready to go. 0:04:52.040 --> 0:04:54.640 So when that happened, and knowing that, okay, you're a veteran, 0:04:54.680 --> 0:04:57.120 we have to have you on here, paid his cash. No, 0:04:57.240 --> 0:05:00.200 because they know they can pick up the phone and always. 0:05:01.200 --> 0:05:03.120 Old lineman two because you know they don't. 0:05:03.160 --> 0:05:05.000 They don't. They don't get on the teams, you know. 0:05:05.040 --> 0:05:07.680 I mean, they can't run down, set off the line, 0:05:07.680 --> 0:05:08.920 and run down on no kickoff. 0:05:10.520 --> 0:05:12.960 It's tough for them to do more than just what 0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:14.200 their unit is what they do. 0:05:15.320 --> 0:05:17.760 But as far as like needing an old lineman that's 0:05:17.880 --> 0:05:20.000 VET ready, like you see that all the time. 0:05:20.760 --> 0:05:22.080 They go grab those guys. 0:05:22.120 --> 0:05:25.000 So, but I would say the one nuance being a 0:05:25.080 --> 0:05:27.880 journeyman that you don't hear a lot about. You'll see 0:05:27.920 --> 0:05:30.360 a lot of guys that you think are veting. Obviously 0:05:30.400 --> 0:05:33.080 not in this case, but some guys that really push 0:05:33.160 --> 0:05:35.120 that mark where you say, hey, we really think he 0:05:35.200 --> 0:05:37.080 was gonna be on the team and he get cut 0:05:37.120 --> 0:05:40.400 week one. Well, fans out there, there's in every contract 0:05:40.440 --> 0:05:43.400 if you're a VET, after you're vested after if you're 0:05:43.440 --> 0:05:46.960 on that roster by the first week, you're guaranteed your 0:05:47.080 --> 0:05:50.960 contract for the whole year. So sometimes it's a it's 0:05:51.000 --> 0:05:53.880 a money play. It's comatic part of it, like when 0:05:53.920 --> 0:05:55.279 they say it's above my pay grade. 0:05:55.520 --> 0:05:56.840 So you might see a guy that. 0:05:56.839 --> 0:05:59.200 Gets cut and you be like, hey, we're definitely bringing 0:05:59.240 --> 0:05:59.880 them back week two. 0:05:59.880 --> 0:06:01.000 We just don't want to be on. 0:06:00.920 --> 0:06:05.120 The hook for whatever whatever that contract we got you for, 0:06:05.400 --> 0:06:08.160 like how you were saying with Miles Sanders, say he 0:06:08.240 --> 0:06:09.880 get cut and he comes back, we're not on the 0:06:09.920 --> 0:06:11.880 hook for your contract, and we can get you back cheaper. 0:06:12.240 --> 0:06:14.320 But so in a case like that, if you were 0:06:14.320 --> 0:06:16.080 going to keep Collins, he would you wouldn't just run 0:06:16.120 --> 0:06:18.839 him out here this early exactly. You wait till the 0:06:18.920 --> 0:06:20.560 end and just say, hey, look all right, we did 0:06:20.560 --> 0:06:22.920 this because you you're letting some of these guys gouse. 0:06:22.920 --> 0:06:25.520 You want to let hey, man, go ahead, get yourself 0:06:25.520 --> 0:06:27.840 an opportunity to go someplace else. I want to help 0:06:27.880 --> 0:06:30.400 you out. We're not even looking at you for the 0:06:30.440 --> 0:06:33.120 practice squad. You know, go ahead, go ahead, go you know, yes, 0:06:33.200 --> 0:06:34.320 go continue your life's work. 0:06:35.480 --> 0:06:36.599 So that's respect. 0:06:36.720 --> 0:06:39.440 That's respecting him because you really could keep him on 0:06:39.440 --> 0:06:40.800 the hook and make him think that he's going to 0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:43.280 be here and then all of a sudden when the 0:06:43.279 --> 0:06:45.680 final cuts come, like people already have in their mind 0:06:45.720 --> 0:06:47.560 thinking that you're going to make the team. Now you 0:06:47.600 --> 0:06:49.359 haven't been able to vet your options. He can go 0:06:49.400 --> 0:06:51.560 home and really sit down and say, hey, am I 0:06:51.600 --> 0:06:53.320 going to join the team right away? Or you know, 0:06:53.600 --> 0:06:55.240 I can really assess my body if I want to 0:06:55.279 --> 0:06:58.200 gain a little more weight, because you know, for whatever reason. 0:06:58.240 --> 0:07:00.680 And as a young player, it takes a mature like 0:07:01.279 --> 0:07:03.520 you know and Lyos. You know, he's a vet, he 0:07:03.600 --> 0:07:06.520 understands the game. But we got these young guys, first year, 0:07:06.600 --> 0:07:10.120 second year, rookie guys. Take some mature player to realize, like, 0:07:10.200 --> 0:07:12.560 you know, the the organization is looking out for you, 0:07:12.640 --> 0:07:15.080 so you can, you know, go pursue other teams. Get 0:07:15.120 --> 0:07:17.480 you got good tape out there, because when you get 0:07:17.480 --> 0:07:20.160 that cut, you you might, Man, these guts ain't even 0:07:20.200 --> 0:07:22.000 want me. It can put you down in the dumps. 0:07:22.040 --> 0:07:22.240 Man. 0:07:23.000 --> 0:07:26.200 It takes takes a guy that's like, Okay, this ain't 0:07:26.240 --> 0:07:26.480 the end. 0:07:26.480 --> 0:07:27.320 I'm gonna keep going. 0:07:27.600 --> 0:07:29.440 Because I've seen a lot of cats that just you know, 0:07:29.480 --> 0:07:32.040 you get that snipping and it's just they never regained 0:07:32.080 --> 0:07:33.880 that confidence to feel like they belong in the lead 0:07:34.000 --> 0:07:34.360 and That's. 0:07:34.240 --> 0:07:36.600 The biggest thing about it is the mental fortitude. 0:07:36.920 --> 0:07:38.880 And I can speak on this just like after you 0:07:38.920 --> 0:07:40.720 get that cut and then you just keep going and 0:07:40.840 --> 0:07:43.200 keep going, like you really got to have that energize 0:07:43.240 --> 0:07:47.520 to battery mentality that I'm made for this. There's thirty 0:07:47.520 --> 0:07:51.360 one options every Tuesday, somebody is having a tryout. To 0:07:51.400 --> 0:07:55.240 say that, because initially when it happens, especially like America's team, 0:07:55.320 --> 0:07:57.760 like who wants to get cut from Dallas? Like that 0:07:57.760 --> 0:07:59.800 that plays a big part. So if you get cut 0:07:59.840 --> 0:08:01.840 from the Dream Team, you'd be like over their mental 0:08:01.960 --> 0:08:03.880 year out of it, and then all of a sudden 0:08:03.920 --> 0:08:05.600 you lose one step and we all know that it 0:08:05.640 --> 0:08:09.040 takes one step, So this is that time. So it's 0:08:09.120 --> 0:08:11.120 it's a little rough. But like you said, if you're 0:08:11.120 --> 0:08:12.960 a good vet like leel Is, I think. 0:08:12.800 --> 0:08:15.760 You Hopefully these dudes got some you know, if you 0:08:15.760 --> 0:08:17.600 don't have that that that that tape out there, you 0:08:17.640 --> 0:08:19.640 don't got that video out there, Hopefully you got an agent, 0:08:19.680 --> 0:08:21.960 they got some connections. You know what I'm saying, it's 0:08:21.960 --> 0:08:25.400 work with somebody before you know, because just like you said, 0:08:25.440 --> 0:08:27.480 you know, it's it's some some dudes get fortunate enough 0:08:27.480 --> 0:08:29.680 to like when they when that they get cut, they 0:08:29.720 --> 0:08:32.040 actually get an opportunity to go somewhere else. But some dudes, this, 0:08:32.200 --> 0:08:34.680 this is gonna be the only way they get home. 0:08:34.720 --> 0:08:38.280 Deepole fire man, new doctors seen it at La. 0:08:41.280 --> 0:08:43.280 Go back to your life's work, life's work. 0:08:43.360 --> 0:08:46.040 So Friday night the Atlanta Falcons came to Jerry World 0:08:46.080 --> 0:08:48.600 and go down thirty one to thirteen. Joe Milton got 0:08:48.600 --> 0:08:50.960 the start today. 0:08:53.440 --> 0:09:00.280 I was gone, Hey, what what? No overthrow? Joe? 0:09:00.400 --> 0:09:03.840 I wasn't there for the job second and second quarter? 0:09:03.880 --> 0:09:08.120 Man, I hear that, guys, I didn't see why you 0:09:08.120 --> 0:09:08.600 didn't watching. 0:09:09.559 --> 0:09:10.840 I had to go. I had to go do the 0:09:10.840 --> 0:09:11.839 ten o'clock. 0:09:12.360 --> 0:09:18.679 The big money, my bad three games, saw two drives. 0:09:19.760 --> 0:09:21.280 Joe did his things and I went. I went in 0:09:21.400 --> 0:09:22.640 the studio with the work man. 0:09:22.800 --> 0:09:26.480 Seen enough for you to take back that overthrow, Joe comment, Man, 0:09:26.720 --> 0:09:28.040 it's starting to come into fruition. 0:09:28.120 --> 0:09:35.040 What I said, didn't I say? What did you wanted 0:09:35.080 --> 0:09:37.280 to get? I know. 0:09:38.320 --> 0:09:40.719 What we did say that he had three chances in 0:09:40.760 --> 0:09:43.800 three weeks to put this thing in together. Every every 0:09:43.800 --> 0:09:46.079 week something did get a little bit better, you know 0:09:46.080 --> 0:09:46.439 what I mean? 0:09:47.679 --> 0:09:55.520 Asked them the question getting better but I appreciate you 0:09:55.640 --> 0:09:57.920 answer any question, but avoided and he's trying to set 0:09:57.960 --> 0:10:00.760 up but you ain't. 0:10:02.080 --> 0:10:05.160 Right then this is why plays a risky crack game. 0:10:06.240 --> 0:10:08.120 Game over there, man, get this thing all right, Tree, 0:10:08.120 --> 0:10:11.600 you're playing with power right now. Milton ten of eighteen 0:10:11.760 --> 0:10:15.040 hundred and thirty two yards, one touchdown through the air, 0:10:15.360 --> 0:10:19.320 one rushing touchdown, no sacks, quarterback rating in ninety seven 0:10:19.480 --> 0:10:20.120 point five. 0:10:20.160 --> 0:10:20.920 So you believe that. 0:10:21.600 --> 0:10:25.360 Are you all good if this is your backup quarterback, 0:10:25.400 --> 0:10:26.320 the number two guy? 0:10:26.520 --> 0:10:28.359 If Dak gets hurt against Philadelphia? 0:10:28.880 --> 0:10:30.000 I am I am. 0:10:30.120 --> 0:10:33.160 I am good with what I seen he is son 0:10:34.000 --> 0:10:37.520 through all the preseason, like AD said, he's progressively gotten better. 0:10:38.320 --> 0:10:40.640 He's shown the big arm, which we already know, but 0:10:40.720 --> 0:10:43.360 we finally seen what we've been asking for, the touch 0:10:43.520 --> 0:10:46.360 like it comes with experience, and so yes, he's had 0:10:46.480 --> 0:10:48.400 enough reps to show me that he can do that, 0:10:48.640 --> 0:10:50.320 and then on top of that, to show you that 0:10:50.360 --> 0:10:52.480 he could run the way that he was doing it 0:10:52.520 --> 0:10:53.840 like it was a good game plan. 0:10:54.000 --> 0:10:56.840 And like I said, if we have to see the backup, 0:10:57.880 --> 0:10:58.760 we won our bet. 0:10:58.960 --> 0:11:01.600 So I don't plan on seeing him, but he showed 0:11:01.600 --> 0:11:04.000 me enough to be like yes, don't overreach and go 0:11:04.080 --> 0:11:06.040 get a vet out here and pay all that money 0:11:06.040 --> 0:11:06.640 to somebody else. 0:11:06.679 --> 0:11:07.800 Anthony Door sat. 0:11:14.320 --> 0:11:17.280 I just, I just, I gotta be honest. And I've 0:11:17.280 --> 0:11:20.440 seen Joe progress over the three weeks. But is he 0:11:20.559 --> 0:11:23.680 ready to be the number two? If that goes down 0:11:23.720 --> 0:11:27.560 week one? Nah, Joe's He's just not ready for that yet. 0:11:28.080 --> 0:11:30.880 We want, well, it could happen. 0:11:32.880 --> 0:11:34.520 He has to go in against Philadelphia. 0:11:35.559 --> 0:11:37.920 I like, when we're going in, there's rusty football. 0:11:37.480 --> 0:11:40.160 Man, you know so, But but that's just where I'm 0:11:40.160 --> 0:11:41.800 going with it, like to be honest with you, and 0:11:41.960 --> 0:11:45.120 I mean, and we had an opportunity to actually see 0:11:45.120 --> 0:11:48.600 it up closer in person with Cooper Rush here and 0:11:48.760 --> 0:11:52.400 just to see how his mechanics were as far as 0:11:52.440 --> 0:11:55.280 going through and being like being the number two and 0:11:55.400 --> 0:11:57.959 and and just seeing how solid he was and how 0:11:58.000 --> 0:12:00.760 dependable he was as a number two. And he's there 0:12:00.760 --> 0:12:03.640 in Baltimore now of course with behind the m v 0:12:03.720 --> 0:12:06.640 p QB up there, and you know, it just goes 0:12:06.679 --> 0:12:09.719 to say, like, I don't have that same level of 0:12:09.760 --> 0:12:13.320 confidence with Joe right now. I'm just just being out 0:12:13.400 --> 0:12:17.280 upsetting man, And like if he was my teammate, like 0:12:17.320 --> 0:12:19.240 if I'm in the locker room you. 0:12:19.640 --> 0:12:21.880 It ain't that you said a few minutes ago. You liked. 0:12:27.040 --> 0:12:29.640 He did, like he puts something together, and it's like 0:12:29.679 --> 0:12:31.719 every young player is supposed to do, you know what 0:12:31.720 --> 0:12:34.080 I mean, But like it's not it's not a complete 0:12:34.320 --> 0:12:36.560 I mean, cake isn't done baking. 0:12:37.640 --> 0:12:39.920 Cooper Rush was the cake that wasn't done baking, and 0:12:39.960 --> 0:12:41.560 he still was able to go in there and do that. 0:12:41.840 --> 0:12:42.920 At least this guy has. 0:12:42.840 --> 0:12:45.680 Shown you that the cake is baking well over time, 0:12:45.760 --> 0:12:48.719 and he has more tangibles. 0:12:47.679 --> 0:12:52.760 Like I mean, Trey Lance had more know we just 0:12:52.920 --> 0:12:53.559 we're just didn't. 0:12:53.640 --> 0:12:56.160 He might have had more tangible but he didn't display those. 0:12:56.440 --> 0:13:00.400 But Joe displayed those tangibles. And this last game he 0:13:00.520 --> 0:13:03.200 was over there, ha ha ha, over the shoulder, just 0:13:03.240 --> 0:13:06.280 a little bit of soft kiss chef right there. Then 0:13:06.280 --> 0:13:09.240 he showed you let me get busy, long, run fast. 0:13:10.360 --> 0:13:14.600 Where's the consistency with it? Though? Like that over time? 0:13:14.840 --> 0:13:18.280 If you're shotting him, are you are you confident at 0:13:18.320 --> 0:13:19.200 him being the number two? 0:13:19.400 --> 0:13:21.959 If you and you're Shottenheimer coaching everywhere, you didn't coach 0:13:22.000 --> 0:13:23.400 with all the dudes, you didn't coach too. 0:13:23.240 --> 0:13:26.080 As well, it's different. It's a different grating scale as 0:13:26.160 --> 0:13:29.280 my backup. Yes, I am comfortable. I am comfortable right 0:13:29.320 --> 0:13:33.120 there on business. I'm just because you asked me again 0:13:33.200 --> 0:13:35.520 doesn't mean that it's gonna change. I told you he 0:13:35.640 --> 0:13:37.800 showed me enough to one. Like I said, I'm not 0:13:37.840 --> 0:13:40.280 playing on him being in there. But if for some 0:13:40.360 --> 0:13:42.360 reason he has to go in there, I like what 0:13:42.480 --> 0:13:43.360 he's doing right here. 0:13:43.480 --> 0:13:45.480 He has a cannon. He showed me that he can 0:13:45.520 --> 0:13:46.120 throw the touch. 0:13:46.600 --> 0:13:49.360 See that, go in there and coach the month pickens 0:13:49.400 --> 0:13:55.120 over there, get him something. But my fa go ahead, Hey, 0:13:55.160 --> 0:13:58.200 they gonna lead that by show you gotta get in there, man. Man. 0:13:58.280 --> 0:14:00.880 So my dad, my dad, if the Cowboys winning to 0:14:00.920 --> 0:14:03.840 play for the Broncos, right, put it down. My dad 0:14:03.920 --> 0:14:06.120 was like in his like tenth eleventh year, going to 0:14:06.120 --> 0:14:08.880 play for Devin Broncos. John Elway was a quarterback. My 0:14:08.960 --> 0:14:10.920 dad said, he rolled out for a little swing pass. 0:14:11.000 --> 0:14:13.679 John Elway throws the ball breaks every ligament in my 0:14:13.760 --> 0:14:15.800 dad's fingers because he's throwing the ball one hundred and 0:14:15.800 --> 0:14:17.680 twenty miles an hour on the past that could have 0:14:17.720 --> 0:14:19.160 been just dumped off. 0:14:19.360 --> 0:14:21.480 You know what I'm saying, touch is very vital in 0:14:21.520 --> 0:14:22.120 the NFL. 0:14:22.200 --> 0:14:24.080 It is to have some type of touch on the 0:14:24.120 --> 0:14:25.280 ball and everything else like that. 0:14:25.560 --> 0:14:28.160 He showed you that the last game. But I'm just saying, like, 0:14:28.600 --> 0:14:31.480 good is your last reps and this guy we. 0:14:31.480 --> 0:14:33.800 All can can agree needs the reps right now. 0:14:33.840 --> 0:14:35.480 He does need these reps. 0:14:35.720 --> 0:14:38.400 I just don't know where if we're going in a 0:14:38.440 --> 0:14:41.680 regular season and Dak's rolling. But you know we've seen 0:14:41.720 --> 0:14:44.200 things happen in the past, missus games here and there 0:14:45.320 --> 0:14:48.560 during the regular season, that backup's not getting reps. He 0:14:48.600 --> 0:14:52.080 may get two or three snaps here and there per period, 0:14:52.120 --> 0:14:54.600 but he's not getting those developmental reps where he's out 0:14:54.640 --> 0:14:57.880 there slinging the football. So you're asking Joe Milton to 0:14:58.000 --> 0:15:01.360 go out there limited reps in practice against a full 0:15:01.400 --> 0:15:04.840 speed once for other opposing teams to just go out 0:15:04.840 --> 0:15:05.760 there and start cooking. 0:15:06.280 --> 0:15:07.880 I don't know if I would be comfortable in that. 0:15:07.880 --> 0:15:10.080 Cooper Rush was great in that role because he already 0:15:10.120 --> 0:15:13.280 understood what it was and he was an experienced quarterback 0:15:13.320 --> 0:15:15.520 back then and he was able to go out there 0:15:15.560 --> 0:15:17.560 and cold turkey go out there and still be able 0:15:17.600 --> 0:15:18.280 to perform. 0:15:18.480 --> 0:15:22.200 How did how did Cooper Rush get into the position 0:15:22.280 --> 0:15:24.920 to be one of those quarterbacks. He got thrown out there, 0:15:25.160 --> 0:15:28.080 cold turkey, getting the rep like he was just there. 0:15:28.440 --> 0:15:32.960 Cooper when people when people, when people brought Cooper Rush in, 0:15:33.000 --> 0:15:35.640 they wasn't. He was a developmental piece. They said, oh, 0:15:35.720 --> 0:15:37.880 he needs time and do this and that. Guess what 0:15:38.040 --> 0:15:40.280 he had to get thrown in there and it was like, ah, 0:15:40.360 --> 0:15:43.080 he's serviceable, we can go get better. But yes, he 0:15:43.120 --> 0:15:46.640 grew into that years though. Okay, so then Joe bro Joe. 0:15:46.600 --> 0:15:49.120 Just got We're asking now, though, are you comfortable with 0:15:49.160 --> 0:15:52.440 him being your back? I said, yes, you asked me again. 0:15:52.520 --> 0:15:56.320 If you're shoddy, yes, you know this team got to run? Yes? 0:15:56.400 --> 0:16:00.560 If I am shoddy and a run first, ah, yes, 0:16:00.680 --> 0:16:07.240 I'm going over the stipulations. What a shoy? What type 0:16:07.280 --> 0:16:10.000 offense does he run? A run first? It is a 0:16:10.080 --> 0:16:12.640 run option. It's based off of that. I'm gonna put 0:16:12.640 --> 0:16:14.880 that boy in there. Let him get the run, let 0:16:14.920 --> 0:16:17.520 the office start cooking. He gets his confidence and then 0:16:17.600 --> 0:16:19.680 bomb you might get it a little deep pass off 0:16:19.680 --> 0:16:21.880 the play action. Okay, you got your deep one off 0:16:21.880 --> 0:16:23.480 of there, then I can hit you with a little 0:16:23.520 --> 0:16:24.600 tight end dump right there. 0:16:24.760 --> 0:16:25.840 I'm gonna let it Cook. 0:16:26.200 --> 0:16:35.360 Yeah you. And then most importantly the one thing that 0:16:35.400 --> 0:16:40.600 he did say, like, obviously something here has We've seen 0:16:40.640 --> 0:16:43.080 guys like Cooper Rush, we've seen guys like Kellen Moore, 0:16:43.160 --> 0:16:45.400 no slack than none of those guys, guys that we 0:16:45.560 --> 0:16:48.240 thought should never be playing. But for some reason, the 0:16:48.280 --> 0:16:52.520 backup here typically always does good enough to where it's like, oh, snap, 0:16:52.600 --> 0:16:55.320 he can do that. He's already talked about, Hey man, 0:16:55.360 --> 0:16:57.720 I'm getting stuff here that I didn't have at the Patriots. 0:16:57.800 --> 0:16:59.680 I have a good leader in that people were actually 0:16:59.680 --> 0:17:01.920 showing what to do. Like I feel like I am 0:17:02.120 --> 0:17:05.160 learning way ahead of the curve with me not being 0:17:05.200 --> 0:17:07.960 the guy, so like you having that opportunity, it's a 0:17:08.000 --> 0:17:10.600 different environment. So yes, I really do like what he's 0:17:10.640 --> 0:17:11.440 going to do right here. 0:17:11.840 --> 0:17:14.200 Hopefully we don't have to see it. Hopefully we don't. 0:17:14.640 --> 0:17:18.199 We don't. I like what I but obviously you know 0:17:18.240 --> 0:17:20.240 you like him, Yeah, you. 0:17:20.200 --> 0:17:24.879 Know, yes, put it down development, you know he's the development.
