00:00Unfortunately, Dustin, you're wrong, and Gabe, you're wrong, too, but Dustin, you're definitely
00:04wrong because you can play left tackle like that and beat the Carolina Panthers because
00:09they did last year.
00:10Let's not forget Braxton Jones and Theo Benedett played the majority of the snaps at left tackle
00:17last year.
00:18Okay, I'm sorry.
00:18Theo Benedett, during his starts, was 5-2.
00:21Braxton Jones, during his starts, was 3-2.
00:25You won games with these guys at left tackle.
00:27I'm not saying they're bone-crushing left tackles.
00:29I played next to Jason Peters, Lane Johnson, Ryan Ramchick.
00:35Okay, they're not those guys, but when you got Ben Johnson, offensive mind, who knows
00:40how to use the chips, who knows how to move the pocket, who knows how to get the running
00:43back up there, Cole Komet, sorry, bro, you're blocking today.
00:46I've been in those meetings, and I've been told that.
00:49You know what you're doing today, Clay?
00:50You're chipping the defensive end.
00:52Get used to it.
00:53That's your job.
00:55Okay, you're not touching the football.
00:57Fine, I'm going to do what I have to do.
00:58So, that's why left tackle doesn't matter.
01:00Ben Johnson is going to be able to scheme for that.
01:03Gabe, I like your, Kobe Bryant's important.
01:06That's tough.
01:06Dylan Thienemann, rookie.
01:07I like the Xavier Woods signing.
01:09This is a veteran.
01:10He's done it.
01:11He's played with Al Harris.
01:12Xavier Woods.
01:13He looks older than you.
01:14Xavier Woods is going to be fine.
01:16He's going to be okay.
01:17It's not going to be a great room.
01:19I know you're going to miss Kobe Bryant, but the right answer here is cornerback, and I'm
01:23talking nickel, and I'm talking outside.
01:25Tyreek Stevenson right now, he's not day-to-day.
01:27He's week-to-week.
01:28Is he going to be ready for the opening game?
01:31If Tyreek Stevenson, Terrell Smith hasn't been practicing, hasn't been playing either.
01:34When's Terrell Smith getting back?
01:36Right now, I couldn't even tell you who the cornerbacks are outside of Jalen Johnson.
01:41Malik Muhammad, come on, stop it.
01:42Malik Muhammad's playing slot.
01:43I know, but they're going to have to move over.
01:45Who's the outside cornerback?
01:46He is not a slot cornerback.
01:47I'm sorry.
01:47I think he's going to be great.
01:49I love his mentality, his mindset.
01:51He's not ready right now.
01:53He's got a lot of work to do.
01:54He played 95% of his snaps in college.
01:57We're at the outside cornerback.
01:59To bring him in and try to put him at slot and say, you're starting here during the regular
02:03season, here's Amon Ross St. Brown twice a year.
02:06Here's Jaden Reed twice a year.
02:08Here's Jordan Jefferson, or Justin Jefferson twice a year.
02:13Jordan Addison, I got you.
02:14Justin Jefferson.
02:15I said Jordan Jefferson, then I said Justin Jefferson.
02:18Jordan Addison, Justin Jefferson.
02:19You know, J.J., J.J.
02:20Tough, tough assignment.
02:21Anyways, tough assignment.
02:23So if I could fix one thing, it's going to be the cornerback situation.
02:26Even if Kyler Gordon comes back at this point, do you want him to come back with no snaps?
02:31With just coming back and just maybe he's ready for the first game?
02:35I don't know.
02:35I think for these guys missing time, it's important for the players, obviously, to get used to the
02:42coaching, to the coaching staff and everything and get ready to play.
02:45It's also important for the coaches to get used to the players, and they haven't seen this
02:49player a lot.
02:49I know he played well in the playoffs, but for me, cornerback is tough because you can't
02:54scheme a cornerback like you can a left tackle, and the safety isn't going to have that many
02:58man-to-man situations.
03:01So for a cornerback, Justin Jefferson coming at you, you're in trouble.
03:05There ain't no way to hide.
