00:00I think for Caleb every week is going to be a new set of circumstances that he's dealing with different defensive structures, different blitz patterns, all the things that play out.
00:15And so for him each week, you know, just continue to work playing clean eyes, clean feet, playing fast in the pocket right there.
00:22And it's something that, you know, you know, looking through all the different young quarterbacks,
00:27there have been some ups and downs as a thing, as the process has taken place.
00:31And the thing that gives me all the confidence in the world and Caleb is his dedication to his craft, the way he comes into work every single day.
00:37And so we'll keep working and coaching him.
00:39And, and, you know, the guys surrounding him, you know, working their butts off to get this thing going and get it going in a consistent manner.
00:46I think similar to the early part of the season where, you know, the negative plays or the second and long third and long situations have really crept up for us in those games where we haven't had as much success, you know,
00:57especially this past week where we're in multiple, you know, second and ten pluses leading to third and longers.
01:02Generally speaking, those are the scenarios you want to stay out of on and off as an offense.
01:06And, you know, when we're going and playing at a higher level, we know we're getting more runs called because we're not having as many negative plays.
01:14We're staying efficient with that balance, the marriage of the run and the pass.
01:17And then the completion play mindsets come to life and you're in those second and shorters or right up to first and ten third and shorters.
01:23I think there's a combination of that, whether, you know, certain coverages might on a play called where he might be one in the progression coverage rolled a different way or, you know,
01:31something had to move in the pocket or different things that have happened, but it just hasn't hasn't worked out for him.
01:36And, you know, I love Cole.
01:38I love his attitude, the way he comes to work every single day.
01:40So it's our job as coaches for all those guys to keep trying and working to figure out ways to put them in the best position to find touches, to get more involved in the game.
