00:00For me, the bad, Drake May, as expected though, that's the thing.
00:07Well, how can it be as expected and bad?
00:09Well, because...
00:10Yes, it can be.
00:11Because...
00:12You put a Celeste frozen pizza in the microwave, you expect it to be bad, it's bad, and you eat it.
00:16What do they say?
00:17There's no bad sex, there's no bad pizza, there's no bad live music.
00:21Oh, yes, there is on all three accounts.
00:23Let's not even go there.
00:25Look, I knew Drake May was going to be bad, okay?
00:29But when I hear the people chime, who like drop Trow and be like,
00:34Oh, throw him in there!
00:36He can't consistently take a snap under center yet, okay?
00:40And that, and I don't care, because I hear it, I can feel Twitch typing it now.
00:45That's the mouth of college football!
00:48Well, guess what?
00:49You still got to be able to execute the fundamentals here.
00:52It's the pro level, son.
00:53We wear caps and sleeves at this level.
00:56That's where...
00:57I thought Drake May fundamentally wouldn't be at times the train wreck that he is.
01:03You can coach footwork.
01:05Yes, the arm will bail him out of stuff.
01:07But he was as bad as I expected him to be.
01:11And I come away like you and Christian and being like,
01:15You can't start him week one.
01:17You cannot put him out there week one.
01:19Yeah, I would absolutely not start him week one.
01:21Because I would continue in the good for just a second here.
01:24Ties into this.
01:25Okay.
01:26Jacoby Brissette has been good in the role that Jacoby Brissette is in.
01:29He skated his lane, let's say.
01:31And I mean that both in terms of running the offense,
01:34taking the number one reps, looking competitive.
01:36And then also, when he's out, he is doing his best to create energy.
01:42He's offensive lineman.
01:44He'll run out and pat the offense.
01:45He feels they need the juice.
01:46Absolutely.
01:47And he's trying.
01:48It took us a couple days.
01:49A couple days we were like, Oh, Brissette's running around.
01:51Now that we're here a little more, it's like that's a veteran saying,
01:54Holy hell, we need something here.
01:56And that's a part of his job right now.
01:58You didn't come in here as like Tom Brady in Tampa
02:01where I'm just going to lead you to victory and that's my role.
02:03No, your role is to do everything this team needs.
02:06And right now some of it is energy from a veteran who can see guys
02:10that are maybe scuffling or like you did a good job, pat you on the back.
02:13Yes.
02:14That whole thing.
