00:00So I think there's the initial reaction to Jaden shouldn't and probably won't play the priest
00:05I totally disagree and I'll tell Joe that to his face. I've said it forever
00:09Tom Brady played in every damn preseason that he was in the NFL
00:13okay, and
00:15What you see this is the problem where we say don't let him play
00:19But how do you evaluate your team at all then?
00:23Because what you do you put him on the field you give him easy things to just get him in and out
00:30When if when I start an offensive line leaves he leaves
00:34but I
00:35Love to hear people say oh don't let him play in a preseason
00:38But there are things that you get used to in the preseason that you don't want to just try to get used to in a pregnancy
00:44What if he gets hurt the first game of the damn regular season the first play first series?
00:50What does that do for you? Does that help your team or hurt your team? I think something with the injuries
00:55I I think like o-line d-line. I think there are positions of physicality that need the game reps
01:01I think the quarterback position you can look at a little bit different
01:04But I think the the notion of injuries the fluctuation the flukiness they can happen at any moment speed of the game
01:12the quarterback making quick decisions
01:14Him getting a chemistry with his players. You don't learn that completely in practice. I agree
01:20But how much of that do you gain how much do we think he will play?
01:23Maybe the first series of the first game
01:25He plays the first series of the first game and if I don't care what he plays
01:30But he needs to play something all these guys need to play something
01:33Because what this is the thing about football right now to me
01:37We've gotten to a point where everybody kisses the quarterback ass so much that you don't allow your team to get even ready to play
01:44Okay, so all of a sudden when you go tell me you got if you got Pat Mahomes in Kansas City
01:50He plays preseason. Okay. I've watched Pat Mahomes carve up the command. They were then the
01:58In preseason, yeah
02:00Jack Del Rio tried to bring all these blitzes, but what I'm saying is he plays
02:06So the thing of it is you still want your guy to grow you can you can orchestrate?
02:12We talk about the game plan the first 12 plays first 15 plays
02:15You can do the same thing in preseason which is starting quarterback
02:18I don't think you want to make sure
02:21These other teams that got veteran quarterbacks and veteran defenses if they are resting completely
02:27And then they play you in the first game
02:30You automatically are a step behind
