1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,000 Speaker 1: So, JoBelle, there's been some talk about you cross training 2 00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:07,400 Speaker 1: at quarterback. I know you trained with the dB I 3 00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:10,479 Speaker 1: think was the dB Academy, and your trainer had mentioned 4 00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:12,920 Speaker 1: us for a story that you had done some cross 5 00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:16,119 Speaker 1: training at the cornerback position. I'm just wondering, you know, 6 00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:19,759 Speaker 1: quarterback is such a wide ranging type of position. What 7 00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:22,440 Speaker 1: are some of the things that you feel from your 8 00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:26,239 Speaker 1: game might translate into that position to allow you to 9 00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:30,080 Speaker 1: contribute at that spot. Well, I think, first and foremost, 10 00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:33,199 Speaker 1: I'll play whoever you know the team needs me to play. Um, 11 00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:36,400 Speaker 1: you know, we're all involved a cross training. They can 12 00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:40,640 Speaker 1: do multiple things. So you know, whatever the scheme is, 13 00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:43,080 Speaker 1: whatever they see fit, you know, that's that's what it's 14 00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:47,360 Speaker 1: gonna be. Do you do you have anything? I mean 15 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,120 Speaker 1: you obviously you're learning about the position. Is there anything 16 00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:53,040 Speaker 1: in particular about it that just kind of, you know, 17 00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:57,200 Speaker 1: get you really even more excited about playing it? I mean, 18 00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:00,560 Speaker 1: like I said, you know, we've all and training that 19 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 1: multiple things. Um, you know, I think as far as 20 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:08,479 Speaker 1: the position, you have to have you know, great footwork. Um. 21 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,120 Speaker 1: And I think that's the main component that I was 22 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:14,520 Speaker 1: trying to you know, better myself on it's just the footwork, 23 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,720 Speaker 1: being patient, you know, and it's just not for any 24 00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 1: specific position. I think that if I bettered those things, 25 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:24,039 Speaker 1: it will definitely helped me translate my game. Thank you, 26 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:28,280 Speaker 1: Dougan and you bro.

Um, you know, getting to know someone 93 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 1: because when you get to know people, you know, deeper 94 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,239 Speaker 1: than just on a football level, you get real personal. 95 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 1: You know, it makes you you know, makes that bond 96 00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 1: much stronger and now you want to play harder for 97 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 1: those guys.

I mean, you know, I'm 104 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:21,839 Speaker 1: not really thinking about that, Like I said, I'm just 105 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 1: worried about coming in here every day, you know, making 106 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,600 Speaker 1: sure we get better as a whole. Um. You know, 107 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 1: no no repeating stakes and uh, you know, just keep 108 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 1: taking this step by step. Man, we still earlier in 109 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:37,039 Speaker 1: this thing, and uh, you know we're gonna keep coming 110 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 1: ahead with the attitude to want to get better, to 111 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 1: want to learn and be coachable and uh, you know 112 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:43,480 Speaker 1: if we can do that is to stay and that 113 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,160 Speaker 1: you know, good things that definitely happen, did you, bro 114 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 1: I just wanted to ask you what it was like 115 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:53,240 Speaker 1: to rehab your injury throughout the pandemic. You know, how 116 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,920 Speaker 1: did how did things change for you once the middle 117 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 1: of March came around? And and did that affect the 118 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 1: pace here rehab? Now? Um, you know, nothing, nothing really 119 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,160 Speaker 1: affected it. You know, definitely had to be more cautious 120 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:12,359 Speaker 1: with certain things, and you know, obviously social distance, but 121 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 1: you know it was still pretty intee. It seems like 122 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 1: you've made strides in the last couple of years. You're 123 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,480 Speaker 1: like on the customer, you know, sort of taking your 124 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,839 Speaker 1: game to that next level. I mean last year obviously 125 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,040 Speaker 1: were the injury kind of set you back late in 126 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 1: the year. But I'm wondering what gives your confidence to 127 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:29,600 Speaker 1: make you think that you know, this year is the 128 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 1: year for you to kind of break through, Like, what 129 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 1: what about your situation?

I'm ready to make that jump. 130 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,479 Speaker 1: Like I said, man, we got a we got a 131 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 1: great group of great leaders, you know, and I come 132 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,280 Speaker 1: in here every day anxious to learn from them, you know. 133 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:48,040 Speaker 1: Put my best foot forward, put the coaching points forward. No, 134 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:50,719 Speaker 1: you know, just just work as hard as I can work. Man, 135 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:52,800 Speaker 1: you know, That's really all I'm focusing on right now.
