Fernando got a lot of action today.
What stood out to you about him today?
Say again.
Fernando got a lot of action Fernando continues to improve, and the thing that I think we're very pleased about is from the spring to the start of camp there were some parts of his game we wanted him to improve upon, and he has, as we've had different layers and dimensions, you know, the crowd noise, the silent count and so forth, um, he's not repeating mistakes, which is always a good thing.
It's a process.
It's a long process.
Uh, we're pleased with how he's developing.
It's important to get him with the ones for practice like that.
Well, I think as much as he has opportunities that are going to put him in realistic situations, and it could be with the threes or the twos or the ones and also along the same lines as the defensive players because, you know, the, the speed picks up a little bit.
So I think it's important that he doesn't get too far ahead of himself, which a young man like that doesn't do that.
He is locked in on the process and just trying to improve.
And so those are the things that we're looking for.
To help him take those next steps.
How have you seen that quarterback room complement each other and learn from each other?
You know, it's a great blend, and it's a, it's a joy coming to work every day because all three of those guys, um, all 4 of them, I should say, no disrespect to JB Clarks, our director free agent, he's been, uh, right in Fernando's hip pocket, helping him study, staying with him afterwards to go through, walk through his plays, walk through the scripts.
Uh, he's a tremendous young man.
And of course you've got Kirk who is a pro who's been there, done that, um, but still has a Uh, uh, an open mind, a white belt mentality, so to speak, where he's, he's willing to do whatever is necessary to improve and grow.
