| 0:00.0 | Rex Ryan says the difference is not Drake May. The difference is Mike Vrable. My coach. My coach of the year in the NFL, Mike Vrable. |
| 0:11.2 | Yeah, I think Vrable has definitely unlocked Drake May or maybe Josh McDaniels in what Drake May is doing, decision making, putting him in the right position. |
| 0:21.5 | So, like, you could always give credit to coaches for that. |
| 0:24.6 | Coaches can make quarterbacks, but they can also break quarterbacks. |
| 0:27.7 | I think Vrable, it's about the culture and maybe the way that these guys are buying into it. |
| 0:35.2 | That's what I was going to say, is Vrable's more culture-based, whereas Drake May, you should just give him credit himself because this is a second season. I know he didn't play all season last year, but he improved. He didn't have that sophomore slump where he came in and was a different guy than we saw the first season. He built upon the skill set that he already had. So that's on Drake May. But that's Josh. |
| 0:55.4 | But it's also on Drake. No, no. |
| 0:55.9 | And I'm not taking that away from Drake. |
| 0:57.2 | But I'm saying it's, you know, is Drake May the same guy without a good offensive |
| 1:04.8 | coordinator? |
| 1:05.8 | And I think Braybill deserves some credit for that too. |
| 1:08.1 | Like I think Josh deserves a lot of credit for the mental makeup |
| 1:11.9 | that Drake May now currently has. We can all see Drake May was athletically gifted when he came |
| 1:17.6 | into the NFL, but his current mental situation, like how confident he is, what he's doing |
| 1:22.9 | on a down-by-down basis. I think Mike Vrable and especially Josh McDaniels get a lot of credit for that. |
| 1:28.0 | Yeah. I feel like Vrable really timed this perfectly because you didn't replace Bill, |
| 1:35.2 | you replaced Mayo. You have consecutive four-win seasons before yours, and you are allowed to |
| 1:42.9 | play the quarterback that everybody knew was the future starting |
| 1:45.9 | in week one. And the runway that he's been given, the coaching staff he has, the budget that he's |
| 1:51.3 | been able to use. Yeah. And the, as of right now, five games in, looks like the first draft pick |
| 1:58.5 | of Rabel's tenure was a home run. Right. I mean, we were talking about Will Campbell. Who could forget the breathless anxiety from Andy Hart every afternoon about how bad he was? The offensive line is the worst in the NFL. Remember that? Yeah. We don't ever talk about that anymore, do we? The biggest compliment that you can give a guy playing that position is you don't hear his name. Right. And you do not. Where do those people go? What happens? Does Andy Hart say I was wrong? I mean that. I hope so. A lot of credit to Doug Marone with that offensive line. But think of all the coaches. Doug Maron, former NFL coach. Josh McDaniel's former NFL coach. You have a staff that's actually experienced with the quarterback that's ready and a roster that's improved. I think Vrable had a perfect timing to get back here, |
| 2:38.4 | and I think he's exactly what the team needed. Well, and he inherited a roster that was |
