00:05I really think it comes down to play design.
00:08You know, I'm just going to micro it down to actually to the play.
00:11You know, so we all know what he can do in terms of his arm talent,
00:15in terms of throwing on the move and those types of things.
00:17But, you know, in the early parts of the game and early downs,
00:20you know, he's just asked to play point guard, you know, have a great operation,
00:25play point guard, get the ball to our skill,
00:27either by handing it off or throwing it to them and letting them do the run
00:30and then moving around and gaining the yards.
00:32And it's going to be big that our offensive line plays well,
00:35like I've said in the past, and everybody plays well around them.
00:38That's defense and special teams included.
00:40So, and then when you get to the point in the game where it is a critical down
00:44or a third down or in the red zone or whatever that might be,
00:47then you might see X factor come out, and that's where it is.
00:50But, again, he's just about the process of getting in and out of the huddle,
00:54being smooth, and operating the offense.
00:57You know, so after the first game, this first game is going to be, you know,
01:00it's a little abnormal because you've got a lot of time to prepare,
01:02so it's not really a normal NFL week.
01:04But after that first game, be on a reset, right, whatever happened,
01:08look at the performance, and then go ahead and, you know, self-reflect,
01:13meet with me, meet with Shane, what can I improve on, what did I do well,
01:17and then be able to reset and then go to the next week.
01:20That's the biggest part that you have to do in the NFL because it happens fast.
01:23You don't have time to – you know, you've got time to reflect a little bit,
01:26but then you've got to move on to the next week going on to Tuesday
01:29and then through that normal week, which will be the second week.
01:31So I'm excited about that.
