00:00 So I like where we are and I like a young quarterback.
00:05 And people look at just the last four games last year and
00:10 they say, well, I'm gonna have to pitch in those four games.
00:12 But he really progressed from the time he came on campus here after he was drafted.
00:19 Had a good camp and he's been a strong leader since he's shown up here,
00:23 continued to develop.
00:24 I think he worked well with Mariota last year, learned a lot from Marcus.
00:30 And he's a learner, he's got a lot of humility.
00:32 And as the year progressed, he had an opportunity to play and
00:35 I think he played at a very competitive level the last four games.
00:40 Each game seemed to be a little bit better.
00:41 So we feel pretty strongly that he's gonna be our quarterback of the future.
00:47 And we gotta play games and we gotta see, but we feel good about him.
00:52 So.
