00:00you gave a game ball way, way earlier today to Jamin Davis. We have not talked about him really
00:05at all. But even though he didn't play a lot, Jamin Davis had a TFL in the backfield that he
00:11blew up for a run stuff for minus four, I think it was. And he made two very noticeable plays
00:17in short order early in the ball game. His transition to defensive end is going pretty
00:22well, I would say. Now, whether or not he can consistently rush the quarterback and get home
00:27and actually generate some pressures and some sacks is how we're going to determine eventually
00:32whether or not it's a sustainable thing. And him staying there and staying in this organization at
00:36that position is a worthwhile endeavor. But for a guy that was on the bubble at the start of camp,
00:42that people were saying may not make the team. I still like what I see pretty consistently now
00:47between the preseason and the very small sample early in week one from Jamin Davis,
00:52learning a new position. So I will give this staff credit in this regard.
00:56One of the things that's always frustrated me about bad organizations versus good ones. And
00:59this has certainly been a bad one for a long time is it's always, you know, this guy, somebody has
01:04to fit into what we do, or let's focus on what they can't do instead of finding what they can
01:09do. I mean, my example is always the Ravens. They always find somebody where like Terrell
01:13Suggs, for example, slipped in the first round. Well, it's 40 time was bad. They said, we don't
01:16care. We'll find something that he can do. And, and he's one of the best, best pass rushers ever
01:20for Davis. There was a lot of struggle trying to get him to do certain things at certain times,
01:24in certain places. It's not an insult. It's hard to do some of those things. If it's not
01:27what your natural skillset is trying to overcome certain stuff, he's good at not having to think
01:33too much and reacting quickly and using his quicks and speed. He's good at that. So put
01:38him at defensive end. Now, you know, you play the Tennessee Titans of a couple of years ago with
01:43Derrick Henry, you know, run it off tackle that way. You probably don't want to put them out there
01:46for 50, 60 snaps trying to hold the edge. But if the game is get up field, young man, he could do
01:51that.
