1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,519 Speaker 1: I was wondering what you've seen out of Darnay, Holmes 2 00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:03,880 Speaker 1: and Camp so far. I know he he had an 3 00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:05,840 Speaker 1: interception in that scrimmage and then he fumbled at the 4 00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:08,680 Speaker 1: end of the play with an idea. But overall, what 5 00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:10,360 Speaker 1: have you seen out of Darnay and in particular in 6 00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:12,880 Speaker 1: the scrimmage too. Well, the first thing we talked about 7 00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:15,880 Speaker 1: with Darnay is if you get another deception, stay up 8 00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:19,000 Speaker 1: the near sideline, don't cut back to cross the field 9 00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:23,360 Speaker 1: where the big guys are. Um. He's been super competitive. Um. 10 00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:25,880 Speaker 1: He's a really diligent kid. You know, he's one of 11 00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:28,200 Speaker 1: those guys that you see him out there early every 12 00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:31,520 Speaker 1: day working on some part of his game. Um. He's 13 00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:35,360 Speaker 1: always got, you know, really good questions in the meetings. Um. Um, 14 00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:37,600 Speaker 1: he's in a really good place right now for for 15 00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:39,479 Speaker 1: a young player. You know, he's got a lot to learn, 16 00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:42,239 Speaker 1: got a long way to go. But you know one 17 00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:44,560 Speaker 1: thing about the kid, he's competing at it very hard. 18 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:46,720 Speaker 1: It seems like a lot of people talking about him 19 00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:48,440 Speaker 1: and they say that he plays bigger than his size. 20 00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:51,320 Speaker 1: Is That's something that that you agree with. Absolutely, He's 21 00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:56,240 Speaker 1: got some natural um um body strength and some explosiveness 22 00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:59,200 Speaker 1: UM that he plays with UM and I've I've been 23 00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:01,960 Speaker 1: like impressed with the with the young man as a 24 00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 1: as a as a person to UM as a student 25 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:06,520 Speaker 1: of the game, he's doing a good job. Again, a 26 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 1: long way to go, but um um on on a 27 00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,720 Speaker 1: good early path. Coach. I wanted to ask you. You 28 00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:16,480 Speaker 1: worked with Darrell Weavers and I believe Joe Hayden, two 29 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 1: very outstanding cornerbacks. What are some of the characteristics that 30 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,320 Speaker 1: made them so great? And what do you see in 31 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,679 Speaker 1: the group that you have now that maybe you know 32 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 1: can carry over. Well, you know when you mentioned guys 33 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,480 Speaker 1: like that things you know at this position, you're gonna 34 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,759 Speaker 1: have to have guys that are really competitive that they 35 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:39,320 Speaker 1: don't want to lose it anything ever, UM to anybody. 36 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,120 Speaker 1: And then you gotta have great confidence and then a 37 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 1: short memory because like if any of those guys you 38 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 1: you name, they're gonna have bad plays, They're gonna have 39 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:51,280 Speaker 1: bad moments, and you just gotta know that I'm gonna 40 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 1: come back the next play with confidence, UM in my technique, 41 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 1: confidence and myself, confidence in my ability and just go 42 00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 1: out and play the next play. UM. Gotta have a 43 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:06,160 Speaker 1: short memory. UM at this position. How hard is that 44 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 1: generally for a young guy who's looking to impress the 45 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,720 Speaker 1: coaching staff. Yeah, you know that that's one of the 46 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 1: things you gotta learn, is like that You're never gonna 47 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 1: play like the perfect game, right, but you just gotta 48 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:22,600 Speaker 1: keep battling, competing right to win the next play.

Well, all 77 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 1: of those guys are competing and competing hard, and like 78 00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 1: you said, it's a it's a like like there's a 79 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 1: stack of guys kind of really close right now. Um, 80 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 1: you know, right now, over the scrimmage Friday and the 81 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 1: upcoming coming things when we're going at higher tempos, you know, 82 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 1: all that stuff will work itself out and guys are 83 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 1: starting to separate themselves and you'll be able to hopefully 84 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 1: see clearly that that this guy is the guy over 85 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 1: that the next guy. But you know, like it's a 86 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:26,160 Speaker 1: long season and we know that, like anybody on our 87 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,680 Speaker 1: roster is gonna play, They're gonna play a lot of football. 88 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:32,159 Speaker 1: And so my job is to get everybody prepared to 89 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,280 Speaker 1: to play, like like like, if you're not the starter now, 90 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,840 Speaker 1: you may be two plays from now, and you gotta 91 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 1: go in and you gotta you know, act lack of 92 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 1: starter and play at that level. So I'm pushing all 93 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 1: of those guys to play at a high level. UM, 94 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 1: demanding a lot from all those guys. And and so far, 95 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,280 Speaker 1: you know that that group has done a good job. 96 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,719 Speaker 1: What do you like about Heartage? Um? You know he 97 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 1: has experience in the system, So that's big. UM. And 98 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,720 Speaker 1: the experience in the system, experience with Pat last year 99 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 1: in Miami. And reliable guy. He's one of those guys 100 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,240 Speaker 1: that you know, he just always does the right thing. 101 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 1: He's where he's supposed to be, he executes. Um. Yeah, 102 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 1: he's just really steady and reliable. Jared Williams guy who 103 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 1: you know wasn't on a lot of our radar coming 104 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:17,680 Speaker 1: into camp, but he's gotten a lot of reps. What 105 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,600 Speaker 1: what's impressed you about him? Um? You know, he's one 106 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,320 Speaker 1: of those guys that shown some some ability that that 107 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 1: were like, like you, I didn't know a lot about 108 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,719 Speaker 1: him coming into this. Um he showed up and I 109 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 1: was like, well, we may have something here. Um. He's 110 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 1: competing hard. You know, he's got got good a leticism, 111 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,840 Speaker 1: he's got good size, and you know he's got a 112 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 1: chance to develop hopefully into something and and we'll see 113 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 1: where it goes. Um. But he's done a good job 114 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 1: of at least grabbing people's attention. And what's it like 115 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 1: just as a position coach with so many corners with 116 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,680 Speaker 1: really no or very limited NFL experience, what's that like 117 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 1: for you? Well, there's good and bad to that. UM. 118 00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 1: You know, one, you get to train them the way 119 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,839 Speaker 1: you want him to play, UM, so they don't come 120 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,359 Speaker 1: in with this preconceived notion of this is how just 121 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,799 Speaker 1: how I play coach. So that's the good part. And 122 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,839 Speaker 1: and all those guys have been sponges that way, you know, 123 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,920 Speaker 1: just wanting to to learn some technique and learn how 124 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,599 Speaker 1: to play. UM. So it's been a pleasure that way. 125 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 1: But then the downside is no real life NFL experience 126 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,840 Speaker 1: of game experience and and how to handle the heat 127 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,560 Speaker 1: of them of the moment and and big. You know 128 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:29,360 Speaker 1: we won't have the crowds now, UM, but have handling. 129 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:31,800 Speaker 1: You know, that's the guy that I last year was 130 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 1: watching on TV, that I'm now competing against. How do 131 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:38,160 Speaker 1: you handle that? Um? So you know, again we'll continue 132 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 1: to push that group of corners um. UM, put them 133 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 1: in spots that they've got a challenge and compete and 134 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 1: again hopefully UM those guys again UM, and they will, 135 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 1: they'll start to separate themselves.
