00:00I don't think he's been as closely managed as, say, you know, Mac Jones, his rookie season.
00:06I mean, you know, Drake May has a lot of controls at the line of scrimmage.
00:10And, you know, he's doing a pretty good job of that.
00:13It's not perfect all the time.
00:15I would agree with you, especially in the second half when they needed some plays.
00:20I thought Drake did a good job manipulating the pocket, probably much better than he did against the Bills.
00:25Now, the Bills just let him keep rolling out to the right.
00:28He kept making plays.
00:30I thought the Saints and Brandon Staley did a good job of limiting that today.
00:35And I think Drake realized, like, they're just not going to let me escape.
00:39I'm going to have to go up in the pocket.
00:41I also think another factor in this where, you know, Drake got off to a bit of a jittery start in the first half against the Bills last week,
00:48took a couple sacks that he didn't need to, things like that.
00:53You know, I think it's really the difference in the team and the approach coming in because, you know,
00:58the Bills can, you know, generate some pressure.
01:00They have some good guys even without Ed Oliver out there, you know, Russo, Joey Bosa, those guys.
01:06And I think Drake was a little cognizant of that, maybe a little, you know, spooked coming in, a little too amped up.
01:12But this game against the Saints, they're one of the worst pressure teams in the league.
01:16They don't blitz very much.
01:18They're one of these teams that sort of does what it does with Brandon Staley and, you know, relies on their sort of, you know,
01:24changing zone coverages and things like that.
01:26So I thought Drake came into this game knowing that he was going to have some comfort.
01:33He was going to have the ability sort of like, you know, in the second half against the Bills to let things develop,
01:39not quite be so ready to take the first check down.
01:43They were going to be able to get some things down the field with a couple of rookie defensive backs out there for the Saints.
01:49So I think it was really a matter of the different approach in this game and Drake realizing what he may or may not be capable of in this game.
