00:00 With Ingram and Kamara a couple of years ago,
00:01 can you see similarities to what they were able to do
00:03 with what Jaleel and Javante could end up being?
00:05 Yeah, look, fair question.
00:07 I'm not ready to give Jaleel the joker tag yet.
00:09 And he's-- man, he's doing extremely well.
00:14 And he's working at that.
00:17 I think we're seeing him running the screens well, even
00:21 his yardage as a ball carrier.
00:24 The other thing takes time.
00:26 And so having Coach Marshall Falk at San Diego State,
00:31 and then I was spoiled with Bush, and then Sproles,
00:34 and then Kamara.
00:34 Those guys all were like prototype jokers.
00:39 But we're working on it.
00:40 He comes up every other night to look at film
00:44 with some of these guys.
00:45 And we work on a route.
00:46 And just he's here longer than anyone.
00:49 He and the center, Forsyth, are here early and late.
00:53 And he's just-- every day, it's something new he's learning.
00:59 I kid him.
01:00 I said, they didn't teach you this at Youngstown.
01:02 So here we go.
01:03 And then he gets it.
01:05 So he's eager.
01:06 And he has a chance to be like that.
01:10 Listen, it's a great question.
01:12 And it's the same question every week
01:14 when we look at the stat line.
01:15 And I'm like, man, I got to get Mims more touches.
01:19 The vision for him is outside corner.
01:21 Do I think he can play nickel?
01:22 Yes.
01:23 But he's long.
01:25 He's prototype for the outside position.
01:27 So we just got to keep looking at ways where,
01:31 within each plan, can we use him.
01:33 Clearly, we like him in the kicking game.
