J. T. Barrett

The answer is yes.

After what we saw last night and Ben Johnson mentioned how he looked out his window Saturday afternoon, TJ Barrett and pay the Kayla Williams on the field for an extra hour after the team was done with practice, working on things like that.

And that's the kind of guy, as you guys know, when you're on a football team and you go inside and you get showered and you're walking out the building and to go home, to take care of your family.

All of a sudden, you look and you say, man, is Caleb Williams putting an extra hour of work? I better do that too.

Yeah, and talking about his work ethic, right? He's our extra quarterback coach.

And, Pat, you know what that means to a team better than anybody.

When you see your quarterback out there putting in the extra work, setting the example for everybody of the level of football we want to play at and the details it takes to win football games like they just did in Seattle.

survey that on this podcast and write about it and either he's having an identity crisis or we have been very wrong about the type of offensive coach he is and not saying whether he's a good one or bad one but what his approach is and it made me want to watch his time at Boston College and other steps where he was the play caller and see are there things he was doing there that are similar to what he's doing Now, because I think when Ryan took over the job in 2019, our reference point was Urban brought him in to fix the quarterback situation.

He fixed JT Barrett.

And then 12 months later, Dwayne Haskins went nuclear.

And he brought in Garrett Wilson as a five-star wide receiver.

I just – I can't sing his praises enough of just about his growth of where he's come from from week one, I believe, as a professional.

You know, he talks about taking care of his body, spent an extra hour on the field on Saturday with T.J. Barrett.

To taking all that and putting it into the performance on Sunday – where we have that guy now.

We have the best quarterback on the field.

He does a phenomenal job working.

I mean, I looked out there, I think it was Saturday afternoon after our red zone practice and he and JT Barrett are still on the field.

Just barely.

That's just kind of where he is right now as a player.
