| 0:00.0 | Welcome back. So we had another day of OTAs yesterday. It was inside the bubble. Mm-hmm. |
| 0:14.0 | And all eyes on Sam Howell. I feel like these reports are almost unfair. I mean, it's |
| 0:21.2 | practice. You mean, could you imagine if, and maybe they do do this, but let's say Victor |
| 0:28.4 | Wemba Nyama. Mm-hmm. He's going to be drafted number one by the Spurs. Could you imagine if |
| 0:32.9 | they charge it every day, like his, his shots attempts and just practice? I'm sure they're just |
| 0:38.9 | fooling around. I'm sure in San Antonio, when they draft them, they probably will. But that's |
| 0:43.9 | how big the NFL is. They're doing it in every city. Yeah, they're doing it in every city. So this |
| 0:48.2 | from commanders, especially with young quarterback. This is from commanders wire from Brian Manning, |
| 0:57.1 | who writes quarterback Sam Howell had an up and down week. Mm-hmm. But overall, Rivera believes |
| 1:04.0 | he's shown them how has shown them exactly what he needed in order to remain QB1. We actually |
| 1:10.0 | have a clip of that. Perfect. That's all you want to hear. Yeah. Coach Rivera talking about Howell. |
| 1:15.8 | Did Sam show you enough to kind of keep this QB1 spot for now going into camp? And is that, |
| 1:21.8 | you know, kind of the plan? Yeah, he's pretty much shown us what we want to see. I mean, again, he's |
| 1:25.6 | young. We know he's young. He's, you know, he's a second year player, you know, got an opportunity |
| 1:30.5 | to start last year. But there was a lot of room for growth. And we know that. But he's got a good skill set. |
| 1:35.7 | You know, he's, he's mobile. He's got good foot movements, got quick twitch drum, good decision |
| 1:39.9 | maker. You know, he's still learning to make those decisions, but he's also got the arm talent. |
| 1:44.5 | And that's the thing that, you know, that excites us. Sounds good to me. I mean, all falls in line with |
| 1:51.3 | exactly what you expect. I got it. It's got the skill set, but he's in experience. People were |
| 1:57.7 | freaking out yesterday because he threw an interception. Troy Apke picked him off. Yeah. Troy Apke. |
| 2:03.8 | People were freaking out. Let me tell you something. Let me tell you something. You guys would love |
| 2:07.7 | Troy Apke. I believe that he's a good dude. Trap is back with the team. Yep. What did this happen? |
