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.
