00:00What are your expectation levels for Drake May this season?

00:03You go in any direction you want.

00:05You can go stats, you can go wins, you can go performance.

00:07What do you think it's going to be like in 2025 for Drake May?

00:10Yeah, so overall, I think my expectations are reasonable.

00:14People have told me they're not high enough, but it is what it is.

00:16I think Drake May needs to throw for more than 3,800 yards, preferably...

00:213,800 yards?

00:23Preferably closer to 4,200.

00:25Well, 3,200 is the over-under, I believe, in Vegas.

00:28Yeah, he should blow past that.

00:30He should smash 3,200 if he's healthy.

00:31100% agree.

00:31But maybe that's part of the calculus there, right?

00:34Yep.

00:34Okay, but I think with the rushing yards, he needs to be in the 4,500 range.

00:38Passing rushing needs to be right around 4,500 total yards.

00:42Touchdowns-wise, you need to get to, like, 22-plus.

00:45So, again, over the over-under.

00:47Or, like, 22-passing.

00:48And I think he needs at least 3 to 5 rushing touchdowns.

00:51So, 25 total touchdowns, if you want to go that way.

00:54And I would prefer less than...

00:5710 or less interceptions is fine.

01:00Like, double digits is okay, but I also want to see what the situations are.

01:05Because if he's throwing them in a lot of one-score games, that's when I'm going to get really frustrated.

01:09But if they're, you know, down by 21 and he's hucking it down the field trying to get a bunch of yards, it'll just happen.

01:16Yeah, I think 2-to-1 touchdown-interception ratio you can live with.

01:19In year 2.

01:20You want that to improve a little bit.

01:21But if you end up 22 touchdowns, 11 picks.

01:24But you've got to cut way down on the fumbles.

01:26Like, I was a bit of a fumble machine last year.

01:28Definitely.

01:28So, he's got to cool it with the fumbles.

01:30I want him to rush for, I want him to rush for, like, 500, 600 yards.

01:35Yeah, so you want him to run a lot.

01:36I do.

01:37I want designed runs.

01:39I want, you know, it's got to be smart.

01:41You can't just be, you know, I'm not saying, like, lower your shoulder and just, you know, nonstop rushing.

01:46But we were looking at this a couple weeks back.

01:48Like, the best running quarterbacks last year, with the exception of, like, Kyle Murray, all were in the playoffs.

01:54Yeah.

01:54Jalen Hurts, Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen.

01:58Jaden Daniels.

01:59Jaden Daniels.

01:59Yeah.

01:59Even my guy, Bo Nix.

02:01Yeah, he can scoot.

02:02Oh, Bo Nix will run.

02:03One of my favorite plays of last year was, it was, like, third and long.

02:06And they're like, yeah, just Bo Nix.

02:07Student body left.

02:08Let's go.

02:08So, it's 30 yards.

02:09It's definitely changed.

02:11You know, 10, 15 years ago, I think how you build your team and how you would win is different than it is now.

02:16100%.
