00:00the more I have sort of ruminated on this,

00:03the less I liked it.

00:05And my first reaction was kind of like,

00:07all right, you can do your due diligence.

00:08And if, you know, on some of the outskirts

00:11of the reporting that Albert did,

00:12you're talking about like, well, you know,

00:14you bring in someone who kind of like

00:16knows the college game a little bit better

00:19and maybe can sort of tailor some things to him.

00:20And that doesn't necessarily have to be

00:22the offensive coordinator, right?

00:23That could be something to come in to

00:24sort of compliment the offensive coordinator

00:26and say, hey, look, all right, you've done it

00:28for this way for a long time,

00:30but let's make some modifications

00:31or let's put this package in

00:33because this is something he did really well

00:34at North Carolina and we should try to carry that over.

00:37And then the more I thought about it,

00:38I'm like, well, wait a minute.

00:41You sat him to begin the year,

00:43you brought him in maybe a little earlier

00:45than some of us thought you should have.

00:46Other people were like, you should have started

00:47from week one, but he's given you consistent,

00:52well, he's given you good play, periods of good play.

00:54That doesn't perfect from start to finish,

00:56but you feel like from week in, week out,

00:58you see some things that he's doing.

01:00He did that better this week than he did last week.

01:03And he did that better than he did last week.

01:04And okay, maybe he took a step back here

01:06with some turnover worthy plays,

01:08but like by and large, it's going in the right direction.

01:12And why would you screw with that?

01:14Like, I know that the most recent example

01:17is with Josh Allen, right?

01:19They brought in Rick Dennison.

01:20Dennison was, as I think Breyer called him,

01:22the OG of the Mike Shanahan system.

01:24And he got there.

01:25Rick Dennison was on like his third stop

01:28post Shanahan and every stop failed.

01:32So he gets to Buffalo and it fails

01:34because he's trying to take this buck,

01:36this wild buck in Allen and try to kind of

01:39condense him into this form.

01:40And I think what you've seen here with Alex

01:43is there have been some wrinkles.

01:44There have been some different things that they've done

01:46that don't necessarily fit his quote unquote system,

01:49that he's been willing to open it up a little bit

01:52to sort of cater to some of Drake's strengths.

01:55And I think that's, I think you saw it even

01:57in the game on Sunday, like a little bit more play action

01:59because your outside zone stuff was working.

02:01And it was just like, oh, that's the vision for the offense.

02:04And you got this mobile quarterback with a big arm.

02:06Like, I can see where you want to go with this.

02:08So the more I thought about it, the more I just liked it.

02:12And to me, you start getting on that cycle

02:14where you're changing out offensive coordinators

02:16every freaking year.
