00:03And you saw Thursday night, they were competitive for the first two games, not competitive against

00:07the Jets.

00:08Jacoby Brissett out of that game.

00:09You saw the young kid try to get in Drake May late, leads him on a drive, doesn't end

00:13up in a score.

00:14Time runs out.

00:15Are we going to see more Drake May over the next couple of weeks or is that just a product

00:18of the environment where that game was over?

00:20They just wanted to get the young kid some reps.

00:22Yeah, it was more of the latter.

00:24You nailed it because it was an opportunity to put him in there, get his feet wet, so

00:28to speak.

00:29Drake May, the final two weeks of training was phenomenal, where he struggled a lot before

00:35that.

00:36See, they're very careful because they know he's really raw, needs a lot of development.

00:39They don't want to rush this because, Donnie, the worst thing you can do is put the guy

00:43in before he's ready.

00:45But they're not ruling it out that he'll take over in the next two weeks.

00:47But they're very careful with it.

00:50They have a pretty young roster at the receiver position.

00:53They don't really have a true number one receiver.

00:54I think that also complicates the situation.

00:58But overall, look, the defense is going to keep him in games.

01:00They're going to be more of a run-based offense.

01:02That's what Alex Van Pelt, the offense coordinator, wants to do.

01:05He actually kind of made that pretty clear when he took over the job leaving from Cleveland.

01:10That's a situation to watch.

01:11It is really interesting, the quarterback himself.

01:13We may have a bunch of changes by midseason, guys.

01:15I'm not ruling anything out at this point.
