But he's a guy that does have the ability to look at a defense, evaluate it, get a pre-snap feel, have some answers.
They move to a different coverage.
I think now they've got to get pieces around him.
But I think I'm very confident in his ability to go up to that next level, maybe not year one, but eventually just because of his wiring and his prep and how he'll be able to dissect the defense.
See, I have a great appreciation for it because I never could do it.
I grew up at Centerville High School that you're familiar with, and my high school coach
And these days, they ran split veer.
My high school coach went to Fisher to Barry at Air Force Academy, and he brought back the old school wishbone.
So I ran wishbone high school offense, reading a triple option.
I was like a high four, five, four, six guy, and big.
I was 6'3", 218 pounds, but could run.
And that's why I could never drop it.
So I go to Ohio State, I had to drop seven steps and run more of a West Coast offense.
And I never could get comfortable with, I could do the drops, but I was that look at the primary, it's uncomfortable, get out guy, right?
So I have such appreciation when I see a guy like a Tom Brady or a Drew, but more of the old school guy that has that ability to just comfortably ignore his blind side.
My first time I went in against Ohio State, against USC, Junior Seau, they still had their ones in.
Junior Seau was on my blind side, and we were running a play action to my right in the L.A.
Coliseum.
I've got a backup left tackle in the game.
