00:00All right, two big things we just learned from the Joe Shannon.

00:02Brian Dable press conference ahead of the first training camp practice is Andrew Thomas is going on PUP.

00:08I think that was kind of expected.

00:10Didn't know if he was going to be able to be 100% coming into camp from that ankle or that foot injury.

00:17They want to play it slow when it comes to him.

00:19You know what he means to that offensive line.

00:22When AT is in the lineup, the offensive line is serviceable and they play their best football.

00:27When he is out of the lineup, it is a completely different unit.

00:31Another thing, they named Russell Wilson, they officially named him QB1.

00:36And I think they did that to try and calm some of, I guess, the noise going into camp.

00:42They want everyone to realize there is no quarterback competition when it comes to who's going to be this year's starter.

00:48Now, Brian Dable was kind of noncommittal when he was asked about the quarterback two position

00:54and who could be that starter.

00:57And obviously, he had head coaches talk when he was talking about, you know, every guy is going to compete.

01:02And once they set the roster, the roster would be the roster.

01:05So that's something maybe to keep an eye on.

01:08He kind of left that door open for people to ask.

01:10Obviously, if Jackson Dart picks up the playbook and looks a lot better than what we expect him to look early in camp,

01:18later on in camp or during these preseason games, that door was kind of left open for people to continue to ask questions about that.

01:25But that's two things we just learned.

01:27Now we're headed out to practice.
