Please don't talk to enjoy new guy is more he'll have a -- legend delightfully call -- weak areas the guy has character and he's -- it's always tough want to go to this side because you know he's you know he's he sees certain routes and -- knows what's coming. A lot of time and I think that's what -- one of the greatest. Corners and -- turnovers down. You know his intelligence -- was named the pac ten's all academic team until 2007 and 2008 what makes this -- even more impressive is his major."
