definitely a rookie<\/a>, and \u2014 as we\u2019ve talked about,\u201d Hackett said. \u201cAnd he\u2019ll keep growing every single day. I\u2019m very excited for him. All those guys. Not just him.\u201d<\/p>\nThe broader context has to be considered, especially since Hackett specifically added \u201cas we\u2019ve talked about.\u201d<\/p>\n
Earlier in the session, Hackett addressed the challenges that first-year players face when training camp opens. The question related to the things that are different for rookies.<\/p>\n
\u201cEverything you can imagine,\u201d Hackett said. \u201cI mean, coming to this league is \u2014 I mean, just the speed is so different. You talk about the speed, being in a new building. . . . [I]t\u2019s a whole new environment. New people to work with, and definitely new playbooks that are very, very intricate. Due to the fact of all the things that we see and all the different \u2014 I mean, just our defense out there. I mean, you get almost everything and more. Which is great, because it helps you for the season, but for a young player to have to be able to adjust and learn just basic system and then apply it to different defenses. It takes some time. So heads are spinning right now, especially after two days, but I think it\u2019ll just get better and better. That\u2019s the goal.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hackett wasn\u2019t dismissing or minimizing Love. He\u2019s a rookie. Like the rest of the rookies. Everything is different. Everything is new. \u201cHeads are spinning,\u201d as Hackett said.<\/p>\n
Training camp is the time to slow, and eventually to stop, the spinning. They have plenty of time to get Love ready to go. For now, after only two days, he\u2019s beginning the adjustment.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s all it means. Which makes the comment not nearly as alarming as some are making it out to be.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"We\u2019re in the business of finding and sharing and analyzing interesting remarks from anyone in the NFL ecosystem.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":786067,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,99],"class_list":["post-786066","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/786066","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=786066"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/786066\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/786067"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=786066"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=786066"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=786066"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
