1-How much freedom does Drake Maye have at the line of scrimmage?
2- Who is in the huddle with Maye from the WR standpoint
Josh McDaniels comparing A.J. Brown to Patriots' legend Rob Gronkowski?! Let's hear from Gronk himself, as he weighs in on the comparison! What exactly does A.J. Brown's presence bring to this offense?
Transcript
00:00good morning hello so i know minicamp is going to start and it actually means nothing because
00:04it's t-shirts and shorts so you really can't get a lot out of it i won't be going but
00:09for
00:09everybody that is going to go down there and all you sub stackers and writers and beat writers
00:13there are two things that i'd like for you to let me know or let us fans know what's going
00:20on
00:20uh down there practice that i feel like we can gain a little something from knowing what's going
00:26on number one is drake may and the freedom he has at the line of scrimmage when it comes to
00:33changing plays calling his own play you know that type of situation i'm not talking about a two
00:39minute situation defense gives him something he doesn't like does he have the freedom to get up
00:44out of it or is there not a lot of that going on that's the one thing i'd like for
00:50you guys to and
00:51girls to look at when you go down there and the second thing is what who's in the huddle with
00:57drake
00:57may especially from the wide receiver standpoint that is the other thing that i'd like you to kind
01:03of fill me in on who's in the huddle whether it's seven on seven whether it's you know inside run
01:10i
01:11don't care what it is i just like to know who's in the huddle mego this is a good time
01:16to for you to
01:17kind of educate me who's lining up at the x i'm not educating you well no i'm not talking where
01:23anyone's lining up you'll be down there you'll be able to see like your baby say we get told you
01:27aj brown has been at the x the majority of the time wiki do you think it's funny like the
01:33camp stats
01:35i don't see camp stats from yes you know when people are like okay drake may went 10 of 11
01:40exactly and it was this and that adrew callahan had drake may sack 62 times in one practice no
01:47because people really like those like i i think that especially when the pads come on people who
01:52are trying to take something away from training camp like seeing those numbers and they're like
01:57all right give me an idea of how it looked out there when we can't be there as fans but
02:01then when
02:02you're actually there sometimes you're like okay this is really nothing right well and i and see the
02:07problem is with the camp stats is like okay what was the situation did drake go 10 of 11 on
02:147 on 7
02:15with no pass rush did drake go uh you know 6 of 10 and three guys dropped the ball like
02:22or there was
02:23you know breakdown and and pass protection like i think there's more to it than just reading the
02:29numbers you have to be there to kind of see like all right and that situation great play down the
02:35sideline unbelievable catch people are going crazy but the defensive end ran right by the quarterback
02:41in in a real game it's lights out for the quarterback so those are the things they you that if
02:47you're not
02:47there and the people are just reading camp stats they don't see it sounds like the expectation is that
02:53christian gonzalez will be there you don't expect that he will participate in any way shape or form
03:00no i don't i don't believe if he does he has a horrendous agent if he's out there practicing i
03:06would
03:06say you might want to reevaluate on who your agent is now that's not good advice there would normally be
03:12a fine but i heard some speculation that because mike vrabel moved minicamp up that there may be an
03:22out when it comes to not paying a fine for christian gonzalez how's that work because they changed the
03:28date last minute or whatever so the nfl there may be some sort of a provision that allows you to
03:35miss
03:35if they change the date last minute or something which i guess the other speculation is they moved
03:42minicamp up because of the world cup stuff and the distraction that that was going to be or i could
03:48see
03:48that um or i guess the inconvenience of doing it at the same time when you got that going i
03:54could see
03:54that i could see that being more of the issue i mean if he misses practice it's gonna cost him
03:59i
03:59don't know what the number is now but a hundred thousand for three days all right so a hundred
04:02grand for three days he's probably like all right whatever that's not worth me going out there and
04:07potentially you know throwing away 80 million because i get potentially get hurt let's start
04:14with rob gronkowski he joined the up and adam show with k adams and uh she asked him about josh
04:20mcdaniel's the other day making the comparison between rob gronkowski and aj brown here is uh how
04:27gronk responded to uh that comparison i respect that comparison josh mcdaniel's you know he knows
04:33what he's talking about and i understand what he's saying because aj brown's a big body out there he
04:38he's a force to be reckoned with and he's a guy that takes attention uh from the defense even when
04:45the
04:45ball is not going to him even though you know it's a run play you're still gonna have attention you're
04:49still gonna put guys out there to make sure that there's no audible check you know to to make the
04:55play go over to aj brown and give him the opportunity and just the presence the big body presence you
05:01know
05:01brings another level you know to to the offense and aj brown he's he's that big body guy who can
05:07move
05:08uh and it's hard to you know be that big and to move and uh josh mcdaniel saw it with
05:14myself so
05:14he sees it in aj brown as well i i love that comparison i it you know that's that was
05:20really
05:20cool so if he if there's no issue when it comes to the knee stays healthy you said your expectation
05:28yesterday you said it was what do you what are you expecting 1200 1200 yards i would say i would
05:33say
05:331200 yards and eight touchdowns okay shine you on board with that yeah if he plays 16 or 17 games
05:41that should be at least where he's at i wouldn't even be i would not be shocked if he goes
05:48over
05:481400 yards yeah and that i mean when you start to look because i i believe which and to gronk's
05:55point
05:55with josh mcdaniels like josh mcdaniels is gonna know like all right he has to be the focal point of
06:02the passing game we got to run our passing offense through him he's gonna see double coverages so then
06:08that means he'll be able to open up some other things for josh mcdaniels and then ultimately once
06:12a team comes out of double coverage because you're getting killed by other guys that's when he's
06:17really able to aj brown to do some damage will you be able to determine i know you're not going
06:23to go
06:23there you're going to rely on the sub stacker and others for your information but will be will you be
06:29able to determine anything about the future of kasha and booty based on what happens in minicamp
06:36next couple days um that's a great question greg good job greg i think i think that's why i said
06:45it's going to be interesting to see where he is in the huddle and is he getting any reps with
06:52drake may
06:53is he funneling through those first team reps or is he like a more of a second team guy and
06:59where is he
07:00in the second team guy so like you i don't think you're you might be able to pick up a
07:04little bit
07:05from that but that'll be interesting to see kind of how the huddle looks because that's what they
07:09do first first day of minicamp everybody's healthy all right give me the first team offense up jones
07:16and keith be there i'm assuming they have been years past are they there today uh we have to talk
07:21to carlos narvaez about the communication here yeah okay uh yeah i'm not sure either there or training
07:26camp i'll text nick yeah okay mega will you be there i'll be there today okay yeah i'm going
07:31down today all right i'm a little nervous about like what i'm going to report back because i don't
07:35want wiggy to get on me about well just how i described i just gave you two out of the
07:39x's and
07:39the y's i will i gave you two well two things that you should be looking at that will be
07:44way more
07:45relevant than anything else one of these other sub stackers you know if they're looking at look at
07:50his footwork and he pats the ball he's got a hitch and he's got a hitch it's like when did
07:56you become
07:56a quarterback guru he got the job for a lot of people is to be an analyst like they got
08:03to tell
08:04you what they think they're seeing there's a difference between an analyst and a quarterback guru
