Transcript

00:00There's been a lot of discussion about a rookie for this team that people want him to start

00:07and people want to know that he's starting and they want to parade an announcement of

00:12start starter dumb.

00:14Okay.

00:15Yeah.

00:16The word.

00:17Nope.

00:18Uh, of course I'm talking about Brandon Coleman.

00:20Of course.

00:21Who else would we be talking about?

00:23He was there today.

00:24Take me through it.

00:25Yeah.

00:26I think today was the first kind of significant step for Brandon Coleman.

00:29He was taking all of the reps at starting left tackle and I think more importantly,

00:34you saw a Cornelius Lucas taking some starting reps at right tackle.

00:39So you, you're seeing a progression for both Cornelius, Brandon Coleman and Andrew Wiley

00:44about how they want to kind of test out this, uh, tackle situation.

00:48And listen, I think Brandon Coleman's looked quite good, uh, in camp so far.

00:52Of course, a lot of that in shorts and a t-shirt, so you can only take so much from it today

00:56in the full pads.

00:57He looked good, uh, taking on any sort of power rush or rush Adam.

01:01He struggled a little bit with some of the speed to the outside, but he's a, he's, he's

01:05a rookie.

01:06He's getting used to what that speed looks like in the NFL.

01:09And uh, you know, Dante Fowler is one of those guys that's super quick off the ball and has

01:12given him, you know, a couple of, uh, issues along the way, but he's a, he's a third round

01:16rookie and it's going to give him, it's going to take a little time for him to get settled

01:19in and learn how to play that position and deal with, uh, the different kinds of rushes

01:23that the NFL, uh, gives you.
