00:00 Yeah, without diving too far into it, right, we want to do stuff that he's good at,
00:03 stuff that we got reps at, you know, through training camp.
00:06 And then we go from there.
00:07 Obviously, there's a lot of intricacies into a game plan each and every week.
00:10 You know, there's different front structures, different coverages.
00:12 And you got to study your tail off and make sure you're prepared and ready to go.
00:16 It starts with us as coaches, you know, helping them get there.
00:19 But I like where he's at right now.
00:20 And we got a lot of work this week coming up.
00:22 Yeah, I think with anything, you always dive deep into what they've had success doing,
00:27 whether it's in college or since he's been here.
00:28 You know, you try to take advantage of the things he's really good at
00:31 and let him go execute on Sundays.
00:33 Yeah, I think it evolves throughout the season.
00:36 I mean, I think right now you have an idea, too.
00:38 But obviously, as the season gets going, you kind of feel it out a little more, you know,
00:41 the in-game stuff, the communication, all those different things.
00:44 That's a growing process.
00:46 That's a learning process that you go through with any rookie,
00:48 not just a rookie quarterback, but any rookie.
00:50 I think so.
00:52 I don't think you want to overload any player, really, especially a rookie.
00:55 You want to, like I said, you want to make sure he knows that game plan, Pat.
00:57 Again, it starts with us as coaches, making sure he understands the game plan every play.
01:02 You know, we have a purpose for what we're trying to get done.
01:04 Are we going to get the perfect look every time?
01:06 No, that's not realistic.
01:07 But, you know, make sure he has answers when the looks aren't there so we can go execute.
