00:00Look, I'm kind of with you.

00:01I'm trying to, you know, Dan's question,

00:03I'm having a hard time to figure out what slows him down.

00:06And what defenses are trying to do, Brian,

00:08is to figure out how to slow Drake May down.

00:10You know, he's had three games in a row where he's been pressured

00:1350% of his dropbacks, and he's still balling out, Brian.

00:18How do you, I mean, if you're a defensive coordinator,

00:21you know, how do you stop Drake May?

00:23I mean, even though his completion was down,

00:25he still had the big plays.

00:26I mean, what would you do as a defensive coordinator

00:28to get this kid off his game?

00:31Now, honestly, like at this point, it's just amazing.

00:33Like sometimes, I said it a few weeks ago,

00:35it's hard to remember he's 23.

00:36He handles it so well.

00:38And the thing that I appreciated him this past week in Tampa,

00:41he took some shots.

00:42And these weren't, you know, the ones that we're always saying

00:44he's got to protect himself, he's got to slide.

00:46No, he was in the pocket.

00:48He hung in there.

00:48The Kyle Williams touchdown was a great example.

00:51Gets drilled as he's thrown.

00:52It throws an absolute dime.

00:54And then the play before he drops the go ball to Mac Collins,

00:58he got obliterated by Vito Vea.

01:00I mean, it was one of the hardest hits I've seen.

01:02And he just gets back up and drops a 55-yard dime down to Mac Collins,

01:08who, by the way, ran an incredible route, sold the in-cut,

01:11stemmed to the go route.

01:12I mean, honestly, I don't know.

01:14Obviously, we're going to, as the season goes on

01:17and they go deeper and deeper into this run that they're going to have,

01:20they're going to be challenged.

01:21But he handles it so well.

01:23He's so calm.

01:24He doesn't let a mistake hang with them.

01:26It's been so impressive.

01:27And ultimately, what gives me a lot of confidence going

01:30as they go towards this postseason run is the coaches that are around him,

01:34not just Rabel, but with McDaniels,

01:36what he's going to do in the game planning.

01:38He had Drake prepared for the blitzes.

01:40He had an incredible conversion to Pop Douglas on a blitz

01:44where they blitzed.

01:45He replaced them.

01:46It was a big play.

01:47It just seems to me like he's seeing everything really well.

01:49All right.
