0:00From like the this guy didn't even play
0:01last year perspective, I I think I'm a
0:03lot more optimistic than you guys are
0:05because I I know why he didn't play to
0:08some extent, which is they they had
0:09Dobbs. They
0:10>> Oh, no, you said you were going to say
0:11something different.
0:12>> No, it's cuz it was really crowded and
0:13the and the coach was rotating everyone
0:15and then he was like, I probably need to
0:16stop doing that and they let two of the
0:18guys leave. So that it's like going to
0:21be more concentrated this year. Like it
0:23as far as the routes go. Targets is a
0:24different thing where you can argue
0:26about is he good enough to earn targets?
0:28And by the way, I kind of think not. But
0:31but you know, that there's at least some
0:34chance. I I'm not worried he's like not
0:36playing much this year. He's clearly
0:38going to play way, way more than he did
0:40last year unless he's a bum and he loses
0:43that playing time over the course of the
0:44season.
0:45>> Yeah, and this is why I like I
0:47ultimately conceded that it's probably
0:48fine that we move him up a little bit
0:50given that it's a matter of us, to your
0:53point, 150 BBMs and see zero of him
0:56versus 150 BBMs and see two or three. Uh
1:00I generally decide on the idea that like
1:03we don't need to treat all these people
1:05with kid gloves. Like, oh, well,
1:07actually, if you count all the yards he
1:08didn't catch, but he almost caught, he
1:09would have had a better season.
1:11>> He was still efficient even with
1:13you know, none of that. 1.53 yards per
1:15route run is not This isn't Jalen
1:17Reagor. This isn't J.J.
1:18Arcega-Whiteside, you know, this isn't a
1:19flameout.
1:20>> guys actually got on the field, so that
1:22would be a big difference.
1:23>> [laughter]
1:27>> Yeah, I mean, I am I
1:30unironic, [snorts] that's fair, that
1:32if he can replicate what he did last
1:34year in terms of his per route
1:36efficiency and he just like doubles his
1:39routes, truly like decent pick. Cuz to
1:41your point, like as a rookie, 1.5 yards
1:43per route run is perfectly fine.
1:45>> Yeah, it's not good. It's not It's not
1:46bad.
1:46>> It's not good. It's not bad.
1:49>> Yeah, I think the big issue for me is
1:51that when and and the Packers might be a
1:54unique scenario that I'm just not like
1:57willing like my spreadsheet brain isn't
1:59willing to be like actually outliers
2:00exist. The Packers might be so wildly
2:02unique in their coaching that they're
2:04the one team that if you don't play at
2:06all as a rookie, it's actually fine.
2:07It's okay. But historically, if you
2:10don't play very much as a rookie and
2:12you're a first-round pick, it means you
2:13are bad. And so I'm very much anchored
2:16to that. The Packers are very much a
2:17unique situation and I'm just like
2:19stubbornly not willing to count that as
2:21much as you.
