Hey, everybody, welcome to another episode of Purple Insider, presented by Fanduel.

Matthew Collar here with Dane Mizatani Inside TCO Performance Center, where we just listened to a very, very interesting press conference from Kevin O'Connell.

And there's a good place to start with one of

his answers, which was I asked him about J.J. McCarthy and what he wants to see from J.J. McCarthy

the rest of the way. And I expected, you probably expected company line from what he's talked about a lot,

which is techniques and fundamentals and things like that.

But that was really not what we heard from Kevin O'Connell at all.

Yeah, I think, you know, even talking to him this week, you know,

I think we've talked a lot about plenty of moments that you guys probably

have logged away for eternity of fundamentals and technique and all those things. And I appreciate

the questions and the interest and the understanding of the quarterback development process.

But as I talked to him this week, it's purely about decision

making at this point. And, you know, there'll be time to ultimately, you know, fundamentally

focus on things and build, continue building kind of this layer of, you know, a foundation

that will be important for him into the future. But now it feels

like between he's got enough experience, he kind of knows a lot of these principles that we've

talked about. You know, I want him to have a clear head and a clear mind to just go play, but play

with an understanding of the decisions that I make with the ball in my hand,

the decisions that I make as a passer and as we've learned very important as a runner

to protect himself and make sure that we can keep them in there.

All of those things have to be the most of the utmost importance

because we've learned our turnover number is where it is, and it's not a winning formula.
