Do you like that challenge, even 120 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,159 Speaker 1: this early in the offseason, just as to to try 121 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 1: to test you and everything you've worked on to see 122 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 1: if you are where you need to be. 123 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 6: Yeah, it's always been a challenge. I take pride in 124 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 6: being with the ones and you know, getting rushed those 125 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,239 Speaker 6: guys and competing every day, so it is get me better. 126 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 1: Are you also improving because I feel like, you know, 127 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 1: you've moved inside and out, you kind of yo yo 128 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 1: back and forth over the course of your career. I 129 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 1: haven't watched you every snap, but you correct me if 130 00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:58,720 Speaker 1: I'm incorrect, but I feel like your focus has been 131 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 1: much more on the outside right in the spring. Has 132 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:03,599 Speaker 1: that helped being able to really focusing and locking on 133 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,039 Speaker 1: that one spot because the technique's playing outside and inside, 134 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 1: it's really different things. 135 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 6: Yeah, either way, it go like, you know, being prepared 136 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 6: for both spots obviously, but yeah, it can't help to 137 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,039 Speaker 6: be able to focus on one of them. But for me, 138 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 6: I just do whatever the teamd and just kind of, 139 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,279 Speaker 6: you know, be have an I in for both and 140 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 6: both techniques and how to master both. 141 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:23,320 Speaker 1: So the one thing I've noticed with the corner is 142 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 1: that's been a little bit different than last year. Even 143 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 1: when you're in zone and you've done this a bunch 144 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,799 Speaker 1: of times, you're quick to anticipate the pass, come down 145 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 1: and make a play on the football even though you're 146 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 1: an off. 147 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 6: Yeah. 148 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 1: What is it about this year? Do you see a 149 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 1: sense that the defensive coordinator and your secondary coach is 150 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,680 Speaker 1: trying to have you guys be more aggressive at the 151 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:44,360 Speaker 1: ball when it's in front of you in those off 152 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:45,280 Speaker 1: zone situations. 153 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,599 Speaker 6: Yeah, being more aggressive on the ball, just putting the 154 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:50,720 Speaker 6: defense in a better spot being made plays on the ball. 155 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:52,360 Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying. When you was off, you 156 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 6: kind of you know, playing off just you know, giving 157 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 6: more space and opportunities. So we're gonna narrow that space 158 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 6: down and we're gonna play tight. So that's how we're 159 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:00,839 Speaker 6: gonna do it. 160 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 1: What has it been like having you Jeff Berson there 161 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 1: a new quarterbacks coach. You have markwan Manuel and there 162 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,279 Speaker 1: on new dp's coach, if they taught you anything different 163 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:10,359 Speaker 1: in terms of technique. Has it been a continuation of 164 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:11,919 Speaker 1: what you had before? What has it been like with 165 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:12,479 Speaker 1: the new coaches? 166 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 6: Continuation what I had before? But as well as you know, 167 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 6: gaining the trust with them too. You know, we're still 168 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 6: getting to know each other, so they getting to feel 169 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 6: for everybody else as well, and that's collectively as the 170 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 6: DV unit. So that's we're working on so far.

Yes, I knew I could help make sense 343 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 1: of your money with citizens, all right, and then we're 344 00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 1: joined by giants cornerback trail all can show what's going on? 345 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,520 Speaker 4: Man none man count just working, just working. 346 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:40,679 Speaker 1: All right. So you're heading into your third year now, right, 347 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:44,320 Speaker 1: So where do you think you've progressed the most as 348 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:47,240 Speaker 1: you've kind of made your way through the giants the 349 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:49,119 Speaker 1: first couple of years and everything you've learned. 350 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:53,560 Speaker 3: Just experience, like just learning situation awareness, just actually being 351 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:55,960 Speaker 3: out on the field and just. 352 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:56,839 Speaker 4: Just getting that experience I think is nothing. 353 00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 3: There's no better teachers than experience than actually like playing 354 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 3: on the football field. 355 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,000 Speaker 1: How do you think that experience has helped you become 356 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 1: a better player on the field. 357 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 3: It just helps slow the game down, understanding critical situations, 358 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 3: understanding what the offense personnel wants to do. 359 00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:14,760 Speaker 1: I know, on people scout corners, a size, speed, all 360 00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 1: that stuff. That's the top things they worry about. But 361 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:19,480 Speaker 1: I think they probably underrate the mental part of it 362 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:20,960 Speaker 1: a little bit and the type of things you're talking 363 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:25,000 Speaker 1: about and experience. So how do you think the mental 364 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:27,160 Speaker 1: part of the game that you're talking about compliments the 365 00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:29,680 Speaker 1: physical skills, and obviously you have size speed wise. 366 00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:32,720 Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, you're able to. Like my physical skills, 367 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 3: I'm able to probably guard anybody. But if you're not 368 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 3: going to be situational aware, you're going to be playing 369 00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:39,600 Speaker 3: off on third and two. 370 00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:40,920 Speaker 4: Like and they throw a quick slant. 371 00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:42,600 Speaker 3: You know what I mean, It's like you just got 372 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:44,560 Speaker 3: to be real situational where I think mental is more 373 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 3: than it's They always say it's ninety percent mental ten 374 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:47,320 Speaker 3: percent physical. 375 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:48,760 Speaker 4: So I agree with that. Now. 376 00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:51,319 Speaker 1: I think in this training can probably more in this spring, 377 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 1: rather more so than you've had your first two years. 378 00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:55,200 Speaker 1: Just offense is throwing the ball down the field. Man, 379 00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,679 Speaker 1: they've not been trying to push it. Is that fun 380 00:13:57,760 --> 00:13:58,800 Speaker 1: for you as a cornerback? 381 00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:00,400 Speaker 4: No, yeah, it's for sure fun. 382 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:02,520 Speaker 3: Like I was telling Dark the other day, I was like, 383 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:03,920 Speaker 3: I like that, like you know what I mean, Like 384 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:05,960 Speaker 3: just so like you competitive, like I like seeing like 385 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:07,880 Speaker 3: somebody like trot me, you know what I mean.
