00:00I thought what he did was impressive.
00:01I think the kid has tremendous poise.
00:03I thought handling that situation where you find out the day before you're starting
00:07and you're playing with guys you've never played with.
00:09Good point.
00:10Because he gets no reps with those guys.
00:11Oh, yeah.
00:11He gets no reps with the starters.
00:13I've never seen him take a snap from Josh Myers.
00:16I've never seen him throw a pass to Garrett Wilson.
00:18Never.
00:20Gino gets all the first-team reps.
00:22He went out there and he had poise.
00:24It didn't look too big for him, Ryan.
00:26He can't get carried away.
00:27He went 5-7 in a preseason game against backups.
00:30But I just thought he looked comfortable.
00:34When you talk to him and you guys see the press conferences, he's got something to him.
00:40He's obviously was the number one player in the country coming out of high school.
00:44Played at a big school in Texas.
00:45Won three state championships in Texas.
00:47Was under the hot spotlight at Clemson.
00:50Went to the college football playoffs.
00:51Went to ACC championship games.
00:53This guy's played in some big games.
00:55This isn't somebody who's going to be, I think, phased by what comes with playing in New York and all
01:01that stuff.
01:02So I was intrigued by what I saw.
01:04No, don't get me wrong.
01:05I don't think he's ready to play right now.
01:07But I do think I would feel okay with him being the backup going into the season.
