00:00Here's what I know.
00:01The ability at the line of scrimmage to have the stones.
00:05When you have thrown one pass in your history in the league
00:09and it was a bad ball, frankly.
00:11I mean.
00:12It was very Carson Wentz again.
00:13Forgetting that it was three throws.
00:15The first throw was really bad.
00:16It was like a hundred miles an hour
00:17and over Austin Echler said,
00:19nobody's talking about that, nor should we.
00:21It's a throw, who cares?
00:22He was amped up, he had energy, whatever.
00:24But my point in bringing it up is only to say,
00:27now I'm at the line and I'm going,
00:29well, I just had a screen to a running back
00:32that I threw 8,000 miles an hour over his head.
00:34Why don't we go down the field?
00:36Like that part is what I'm excited about.
00:38The fact that you saw what you needed to see,
00:41because that was why I wanted him to play in the preseason.
00:43You were out last week,
00:44but there was a lot of talk early in the week about,
00:46is he going to play in this game?
00:47Does he need to?
00:48Remember all the way going back to when Joey Othaisman said,
00:51don't play him in the preseason.
00:52I wanted to see Jaden Daniels break a sweat
00:55and get up to the line of scrimmage
00:56and see what Cliff Kingsbury told him.
00:58When you see this, do something.
01:00And he did that.
01:01We got it right away.
01:02Forget that he dropped it in the bucket.
01:04That's amazing.
01:04That's awesome.
01:05But we know he can throw the deep ball
01:07and we know he's got the big time arm.
01:09The mental part of this to me is where
01:11the hair is on the back of the neck,
01:12staying up a little bit and you go, is this a thing?
01:16Could this be a thing?
01:17That's where I was excited.
