00:00We don't overreact to training camp, but one thing I did want to point out that I found was positive

00:04was it seems as though Jared Wilson, the fourth-round rookie out of the University of Georgia,

00:09might be able to play football pretty quick here in the NFL.

00:11He has looked good so far in training camp.

00:14I have heard nothing but glowing remarks about him to the point where he may even come close to

00:19leapfrogging or jumpfrogging, as we say on this program.

00:23Cole Strange, to be your starting left guard, which is very promising.

00:26A guy who I thought when they drafted him was extremely athletic.

00:30I didn't know exactly how fast he would be able to adjust to the NFL.

00:34I didn't think he'd start at center right away, but it doesn't seem like that's the case.

00:37I think he might find himself playing left guard for this football team, which is a positive

00:41because if at the end of the day, three years from now, you can say confidently you found

00:47two legitimate starting offensive linemen in this draft, you took a massive, massive step

00:52in the right direction in supporting your young quarterback and building an offense.

00:55So that, to me, is an encouraging sign.

00:58Yeah, and I've heard mostly positive stuff about the way the line looks.

01:02I mean, other than...

01:04Morgan Moses has been old, but outside of that, for the most part, Greg, I would agree.

01:10Yeah, but they said when he put the pads on, he looked okay, Morgan Moses.

01:16He was getting dominated by Harold Landry, I believe.

01:19In one-on-ones?

01:19Yeah, well, just in general.

01:21Well, BC guys are pretty good.

01:23I just, like, you know, there's, like, you know how it is, Greg.

01:26Like I said, we talked about this year.

01:28Everybody sees things differently down there.

01:30Based on what you're hearing is that the O-line looks like they're doing a good job.

01:36Yeah, they get beaten one-on-ones in certain situations here, but they...

01:40I read a report where the run game looked great.

01:42Eight out of ten run plays they had were all positive yard plays.

01:46And so, who the hell knows, but it hasn't been something, and I guess I'll get to it in my lead,

01:52that lets me know how training camp is really going.

01:55But it's good.

01:57I'm not going to do that without saying that he was learning.

01:58You can talk to me just like Việt Nam Tş.

02:02You're going to think, no, you only Central there, that Seung wanted to be fighting him,

02:04and you're still looking for those who play hope, and this is what you're learning.

02:05Leave me here for a minute.

02:07I'm sure he'sekenite to play pitch.

02:08You're going to talk to me.

02:10Think about you.

02:11You're ready, you're going to take your hands up.

02:12Come back together.

02:14I'm not sure I'm ready to go.

02:15You'll be right to walk to you, we've got an interface.

02:17There's going to help.

02:18And this is what you're going to do today.

02:19I don't know.
