00:00He's got a killer instinct, and so he's really probably better in those moments

00:05than he is just on normal down and distances,

00:08which there's a gap to be bridged when it comes to that.

00:11But I think the understanding of, you know, one, how to create off schedule,

00:15but also being able to understand how to find voids in the defense,

00:18playing with tempo.

00:20And I think it's something to be said when it comes to critical moments

00:23and not panicking, right, and not giving up and trying to find ways to win games.

00:27So you talk about consecutive, you know, two-minute drives,

00:30even obviously the first Green Bay game.

00:33So usually on the clock in the first half, we're going to score a touchdown.

00:36We have a chance to put ourselves in the spot in the second half to go score a

00:40touchdown.

00:42Even against Minnesota, end of the game, two-minute drive,

00:45throwing a dagger to put us in field goal range to send it to overtime.

00:48Even going back to Detroit, end of the game, we started on with a minus two,

00:53and we started on a minus two.

00:55We started on with a minus two, and we drive all the way down

00:58and have a shot to go win it there.

01:00So I think it's multiple opportunities that he's proved that he's by far

01:04and away going to be a franchise quarterback.

01:06A lot of room for growth and improvement for sure, but he thrives in those moments.

01:09Yeah, my goal is to go maximize and kill every opportunity I'm given,

01:12whether it's here or somewhere else.

01:14Of course, love to continue to keep coaching him.

01:16But I told him before, even just starting in the locker room a minute ago,

01:20I'm going to support you even if I'm not here.

01:22So I want him to be the best he can be.

01:25A lot of stuff that I've talked about and poured into him

01:27is not depending on me being here.

01:29It's about me being able to put him in a position to be able to have growth,

01:32to understand leadership, and put himself in the best spot to be successful.
