00:00I think mentally he's in a good spot.
00:07Of course, he's frustrated like we all are.
00:09It's from the standpoint of just not getting a result, but confidence isn't
00:13shaken, kind of limited some of those last night.
00:17They'd have some pressure, only had two sacks.
00:19So continue to find ways to find answers to get the ball out of his hands faster and
00:23also to show protection.
00:25Yeah, I mean, I think you're talking about 25 hours before a game starts.
00:28So I mean, it's not a lot of time to make an adjustment with that.
00:31But Karani begins some rotation behind Braxton.
00:34So feel good about some of those reps.
00:36Obviously kind of moving forward, if a guy has more opportunities to practice and
00:41have reps with that, you feel really good about his growth and development.
00:45And also it's a tough environment for anybody to make their first start on a row
00:48in a loud environment versus a defense that rushes at the passer pretty good.
00:54As far as the collaboration between Ryan and
00:57We're always doing a really good job every day communicating about what's the best fit
01:00for our football team.
01:01Sometimes dictates when you have to push the ball out of the field, when you don't.
01:05We do have a couple opportunities to get some max protection.
01:09He did a good job of covering some things deep to short and
01:11dropped the ball off to swerve a couple of times in the flat and
01:13on play pass protection world.
01:15And so I think it's more about just understanding of trusting the read,
01:20trusting the throws, which he's done for the most part.
01:22And contrary to popular belief is still making some tight window throws and
01:28taking some calculated risks.
01:29So it's more about the focus every week is trying to find ways to put the best
01:33roster together and have the best schemes in all three phases and
01:37find ways to be productive when football games.
