00:00But I think they're giving him more and more.

00:02We were all up in arms after the first preseason game.

00:05Why did he only get one drive?

00:07Or one series, rather?

00:08Why?

00:09And they gave him more last week, and he looked better last week than he looked the week prior.

00:14He has at times looked very good in 7-on-7s, not so good in 11-on-11s.

00:18When I said before, why not throw him out there with the top offensive line you've countered,

00:22well, maybe he hasn't shown it.

00:24Why would you give it to him if he hasn't shown that he can do it with these backup

00:27offensive linemen?

00:28So make him check that box.

00:30And maybe they're starting to mix in some starters for him.

00:32So I just think it's another indication they're putting more on his plate.

00:35That doesn't mean he's going to start Week 1, but I do think they're starting to throw

00:39more and more at him.

00:41And I'll just take it at face value.

00:42When Gerard Mayo says it's a competition, he could be the Week 1 starter, he may need

00:48to blow them away.

00:50And he may need to go out and really impress this week at practice, and the week after

00:54the final preseason game against the Commanders in practice, and in the game in the middle.

00:58He may need to blow them away.

01:00But I think he's closed that gap down to where they're saying, we can put more on this kid's

01:04plate and he's handling it well.

01:06From the outside looking in, that would be my guess.

01:08I don't think they're just throwing random offensive linemen at him 17 days in the training

01:12camp.
