00:00Think they should start Drake May week one. Oh dear Jesus. Here we go. No

00:06Reaction to the preseason game against some scrub beans and stuff like that. Why do we say overreaction?

00:12Why do you say reaction? What's wrong? Can we start with this? Sure

00:17Can we get to them backwards? Can we get to the point to where we can handle snaps under center cleanly?

00:24Before we start talking about

00:27Putting the cart before the horse is Drake May the better prospect. No question

00:32He did a lot of good things last night

00:35But there's also stuff that you can't live with as a quarterback in the NFL see Mac Jones

00:42You're gonna throw the ball out into the flat and it's gonna be a little risky dad

00:47That's pick six is written all over it throwing high over the middle of the field

00:52Some of that stuff has got to come down you love the movement you love what you see in the pocket

00:58I thought this was nothing more than a nice growth week for Drake May

01:04Buddy, but and again, but you know the pace of the offense when he was in there. It's like, uh,

01:10Come on, let's get it going. Let's pick it up. Let's get into a little bit of rhythm here

01:15I'm not taking the the pee out of what Drake May did

01:19But I don't think we're at the point now and I think Gerard Mayo actually said something worth listening to last night

01:27Which was the way he described?

01:31May and Brissett and when the kid gets in there, here's what here's what Mayo said last night about these guys

01:39Oh Gerard

01:40I know you've mentioned in the past that one of Drake May's

01:42Positives is that he can make plays by himself and overcome some things around him

01:46I was wondering would the offensive line ever be an impediment to maybe considering him as the starter or maybe you know

01:51Not giving him as much time if you don't trust the line

01:53Yeah, for me, we always talk about competition and that's at all spots

01:57so even if Drake, you know beats out Jacoby, I mean he earned that role and

02:03We don't really take that into consideration when he's ready to go and if he's better than Jacob

02:07You know, he'll play he'll start if he's better than Jacoby. He'll play and he'll start

02:13Long-term no question, but right now

02:16What what's not holding to what is here's what is not holding Drake May back his ability to throw the long ball

02:23What's holding Drake May back right now, which is why they still got to go slow Christian are some of the nuances of playing

02:31The position at the pro level and last night was a great showing last night was a step forward

02:38But whoa

02:40Just like when you and I were in camp and people were like, oh my god, he crapped his pants

02:45That's a part of the process
