I kind of doubt our 4th string PS QB is running the scout team. Most teams with an established QB give every single rep to the starter. Peyton Manning was famous for demanding this and it’s become more common. In-season weekly practices aren’t like training camp, there aren’t really extra reps to go around, backups don’t practice separately together, etc. Mariota likely doesn’t even receive that many live OR walkthrough reps each week during the season in terms of working through our gameplan, unless Daniels is banged up and they’re prepping Mariota to play. Mariota is likely taking mostly mental reps and going through everything with Jayden, while Jayden takes the actual reps.
Usually the 3rd string QB (when there is one) would run the scout team, unless the scout team specifically needs a fast running QB to gameplan against in which case sometimes a non-QB player will simulate that for the D on teams that need it.
So that’s AK it seems.
And then Hartman will just be watching most of the time (in terms of real 11-on-11 reps, throwing on the side and in drills. That’s why it’s really hard to “develop” guys on the field during the season, almost all their work has to be on their own and in the meeting rooms. All live reps go to the top 2 guys, with the vast VAST majority of them going to the starter to lock in the gameplan and take advantage of the previously short time they have. Again, Peyton was famous for never giving his backups even a random snap during the season, he wanted every single look, every single rep with his guys even in walkthroughs because they’re so rare overall
In short, practice prepping for a game is way different than training camp and depth guys hardly ever get live snaps during the season, and even fewer gameplan walkthrough reps
