00:00Whether it's the quarterbacks, the running backs, the receivers,

00:03what are you seeing from the veterans in those grooms that are helping lead

00:07along, develop, continue to grow, all the young guys on the roster who you

00:10really think you can tap into and get a locker in this season?

00:13Yeah, that's been the tremendous part about this season thus far in the

00:17training camp and the OTAs is, you know, these veteran guys have really

00:21stepped up to that role.

00:22Now, you know, it's year four in the offense.

00:24They kind of know the ins and the outs.

00:26They can go through and help with the younger players,

00:29help them with their learning tools, help them with their fundamentals,

00:32with their techniques, and now kind of take that to the next level.

00:35You're seeing guys like Slay, guys like Motor, Tracy, you know,

00:39Madhurst, Ballinger, JMS, you know, AT, all that, GVR, and going down the list

00:49of all the veterans, Jermaine, I mean, all the guys that really have taken

00:52the young players under their wing and shown the ropes, and it's been cool to see.

00:56So, if you go to this next phase where you're facing other defenses,

01:00what's Jackson, what are you looking for from Jackson?

01:03As soon as he's going to be on the field.

01:05Yeah, just, you know, like any position, you know, just operating within the confines

01:10of the offense and going out there and playing confidently, being decisive,

01:15you know, commanding the huddle.

01:17And I think for Jackson, for a young player, I know from my experience,

01:20you know, it was getting young guys who probably never played as well.

01:22He's out there and, you know, calming them down and having great poise

01:26and great confidence, and then just go and play football.

01:28It's a game you love, and you know you've been playing it for a long time.

01:31So, you know, my biggest piece of advice, just go out there, enjoy it,

01:34play, have fun, and go be aggressive.

01:37I'd say Jackson is right on schedule from what we'd expect in terms of just

01:41understanding the offense, continuing to grow and learn every day.

01:44I mean, every day we're presenting them with, not just him,

01:47but all the quarterbacks with different situations.

01:48And, you know, some situations you've probably never seen before.

01:52So, those have been good to build off of, whether it's in the two-minute,

01:56whether it's a third-down situation or a certain bliss look that we're getting.

01:59You know, he's able to kind of grow and learn from those examples.

02:04And now he can, you know, as he starts baking more and more looks,

02:07more and more reps, and we do a lot of this throughout the walkthrough as well,

02:10he can kind of see, can now he start to put the fixture together a little bit better.
