00:00This is the head coach himself talking about the wide receiver position.
00:06Where are you at with the wide receiver 2 search?
00:09I would say we are right in the middle of it.
00:11And so you'll see a lot of guys in today.
00:14You'll see 2, 3, 4, 5.
00:17There's a lot of guys that are really battling.
00:19I've been really impressed with Olamide, and I thought he's had a really strong camp.
00:25I'm looking forward to getting Luke some extra work into here.
00:28Jahan, Diami.
00:30So that's where we're at.
00:32And then the special teams is going to have a factor in that as well.
00:35Do you expect Jahan to play the similar volume of snaps as he did last week?
00:38Probably.
00:39Yep, I would say.
00:40I don't know if it'll be the exact same, but it'll be in the similar space.
00:43Same high volumes on the other guys that I listed as well.
00:48What would you like to see more or less of from him?
00:52Just having come in new season with any new player, what would you like to see?
00:55Yeah, I think with all the guys that we were talking about at that spot,
00:59the urgency, the run game, the pass game, so the quickness in and out of breaks.
01:06So not everybody plays the same spot, Nicky, but I do want to see with he
01:10and with all the other guys really finding some really competitive moments
01:15that plays after the catch, the blocks at the point of attack.
01:19Sometimes even in man-to-man during this phase of evaluation
01:23that he beat the person even though the ball didn't go to that spot.
01:27So I'm really trying to evaluate them with and without the ball.
01:33I mean, think about it.
01:34That first question was, Coach, where are you in the wide receiver to search?
01:39It's not like he said, Jahan's our number two.
01:41No question.
01:42Jahan's our number two.
01:43No, he goes, we're right in the middle of it.
01:45Right.
01:46Based on the reporting, and obviously I haven't been there.
01:49I'm too lazy.
01:50But based on the reporting, I'm going to guess Zaccheaus has got a head start on it.
01:55He's the first guy he mentions.
01:57First guy, yep.
01:58Everybody says he's been dynamite.
02:00I know even just from my dumb eyes, he popped for me in the Jets scrimmage,
02:05and I don't even think he had a catch, but I remember him popping for me.
02:09Jets, preseason game.
02:10Preseason game.
02:11De'Ami's had a great camp by all accounts, and De'Ami's big advantage is
02:16De'Ami's willing to do anything.
02:17De'Ami plays on a bunch of coverage teams.
02:20He's very versatile.
02:22Now, Lemonade's a small guy.
02:24I'm looking, he's listed at 5'8".
02:26Doesn't matter.
02:27Played at UVA.
02:28Productive.
02:29And then he's been in the league since 2019.
02:33But we mentioned him.
02:34But has Lemonade ever had a season even as productive as Jahan Dotson?
02:40No, but I don't think so.
02:41Maybe he just didn't have the opportunities.
02:43I don't think so, but he's just popping.
02:45And this is a brand-new staff, and they just want to see what you got.
02:47And my understanding is Jahan's not doing anything wrong.
02:50He's just not popping.
