00:00I mean, how realistic is it
00:07that he's left tackle week one
00:09against him? I think we can go
00:11around the room on that
00:13because I'll start and for this
00:16hypothetical conversation,
00:18we're assuming no injuries,
00:19right? Like, that's just kind
00:20of the conversation here. They
00:23drafted him to be the left
00:24tackle. They now got him in
00:26left tackle. They want him
00:27I think it's 75 80% that that's
00:29your left tackle week one.
00:32Yeah, maybe I'm not going to go
00:33percentage wise, but I think
00:34it's very realistic that he is
00:36and as we get to more padded
00:38practices and just like you
00:40guys were talking about with
00:41Jaden and getting starting reps
00:43against the Jets and the
00:44Dolphins. I think it's going to
00:45be important for Brandon Coleman
00:46to do the same thing. I think
00:48we're it's it's realistic with
00:50the with the lean towards
00:51likely. I think they want him to
00:54be it but it's going to come
00:56down to how he handles and picks
00:57it up. If it goes based off of
01:00the plan, he's starting but we
01:03know football doesn't go based
01:04off of play. Sure. I think they
01:06want him to be so I think
01:07they're going to give him every
01:08opportunity. If he earns it,
01:09he'll get it. I just I like his
01:11footwork a lot and I think that
01:14is sometimes the hardest thing
01:16for rookies to adjust is how
01:18quick they got to move their
01:19feet and then be I know what
01:20drove you nuts with Leno was
01:22that he would hinge at his hips.
01:24He Coleman seems really fluid in
01:26his hips already and that's
01:28probably some of the athletic
01:29stuff to draw drew them to him
01:34and I think that stuff can
01:36translate and get better. He
01:38squats. Well, like he gets he
01:40bends his knees and not his hit
01:41not his waist, which is super
01:43important for any alignment.
01:45Hell, any football player
01:46really and what I like most
01:49about it is that he just
01:51swallows up rushers when guys
01:53try to rush through him or even
01:55to the inside of him. He just
01:56swallows them up and doesn't
01:58give him a chance and there were
01:59a couple that when they were
02:00doing the run period plays where
02:02he was cracking down or blocking
02:04down on a on a D tackle and he
02:06would just clear out the entire
02:08left side of that right side of
02:10the defense left side of the
02:11offense and give those running
02:13backs just a massive hole and
02:15he's able to both crash down on
02:17that D end and or D tackle and
02:20also make his way to the second
02:21level, which speaks to his speed
02:23and his feet work his footwork
02:25and that, you know, high RAS
02:26score that, you know, these
02:27things all look good, you know,
02:29in shorts and a t-shirt, but
02:30it's a different game when once
02:32you put pads on and you have to
02:33kind of match the punch to the
02:35athleticism to the feet and keep
02:37it going and today he did a very
02:39good job with it and it's he
02:40gave him a good a good base to
02:42build off of.
