Speaker 1: Welcome into the Ravens Press Pass podcast. It is Monday,
Speaker 1: August seventh, and the Ravens are back on the practice
Speaker 1: field today after having an off day on Sunday. After practice,
Speaker 1: we had a chance to hear from head coach John Harbaugh,
Speaker 1: defensive backs coach Dennard Wilson, cornerback Jalen armor Davis, and
Speaker 1: defensive back Brandon Stevens. Let's kick things off with coach Hardball.
Speaker 2: Okay, good to see everybody here. We sure appreciate you
Speaker 2: being here. Had the Governor out today, so that was
Speaker 2: a big honor. Governor Moore was here and he's a
Speaker 2: football he's an athlete football and a baseball guy, so
Speaker 2: we sure appreciate that. Good tough practice today, Pads hot humid,
Speaker 2: and I thought our guys were very intentional about bringing
Speaker 2: up the winning football aspect of what we're doing and
Speaker 2: staying out of that realm of you know, below the line.
Speaker 2: Did a really good job of that, a lot less
Speaker 2: mistakes today than the world over the weekend. I was
Speaker 2: just really happy with that. And our guys are just
Speaker 2: saying they're they're locked in. It matters to them. They're
Speaker 2: going very hard and I'm proud of them for it.
Speaker 3: What questions you have John Fuller Dell with the.
Speaker 4: Fields were and you're going to watch them roll over.
Speaker 5: His now anything?
Speaker 2: Yeah, just a just a rep account, you know, he had,
Speaker 2: he had enough, his numbers were there, worked hard, had
Speaker 2: a great day, I thought, And we're just gonna monitor
Speaker 2: that as we go. Like we said, we'll be smart
Speaker 2: about it. There's no injury, hard and.
Speaker 3: Things, a something A lot of the offensive line.
Speaker 1: That is that something that we do.
Speaker 2: We're looking at that. We're looking at that. You know,
Speaker 2: it's just a multiple role kind of thing. I mean,
Speaker 2: Pat's quite a quite an athlete. You know, he can
Speaker 2: do a lot of different things, and uh, maybe we
Speaker 2: expand his role just a little bit for a little
Speaker 2: bit of time here and see how he does. So
Speaker 2: we're gonna look at that.
Speaker 6: So the first day or so with this, you left
Speaker 6: bar with soda and sens.
Speaker 3: And have anything with for both of wos.
Speaker 2: That went really well for both of them. Thanks. I mean,
Speaker 2: you know, it's just there's nothing now think it's anything
Speaker 2: to read into it from a depth chart standpoint. It's
Speaker 2: more just, hey, let's give John a chance with the ones,
Speaker 2: to give solid chance with the twos and continue to
Speaker 2: get reps. They both had the same number of reps,
Speaker 2: so I thought they both did very well today.
Speaker 6: John had noticed any sort of pick up an intensity
Speaker 6: person to prepare for an actual game this weekend. Did
Speaker 6: you notice the change to the guys at all?
Speaker 2: I thought the intensity stayed at the same level. I
Speaker 2: thought we picked up in intentionality in terms of trying
Speaker 2: to be on point, you know, fewer mistakes, those kind
Speaker 2: of things, and that's what camp should be. You know,
Speaker 2: we've just got to keep improving steadily every single day
Speaker 2: in those areas, and I thought they did a really
Speaker 2: good job of that.
Speaker 6: Let's say practice where you are preparing for the Saturday's game.
Speaker 2: No, we really don't ever prepare for the preseason games. Really,
Speaker 2: it's just we're getting ready for the regular season.
Speaker 3: Kind of slipped a little it off back some time
Speaker 3: him the air for what he's actually some sort of
Speaker 3: post a kind of thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's okay, I mean he just you know, it's
Speaker 2: it's hot. It's towards the end of practice. You know,
Speaker 2: sometimes I get like, Okay, we're good, We're good.
Speaker 3: You don't haven't prepare for the preseason game.
Speaker 5: But know the record is haven't lost to a lot
Speaker 5: of time.
Speaker 2: Give the players the credit. That's that's who deserves it.
Speaker 2: You know, they've done a great job over the years,
Speaker 2: and I believe it means a lot to the guys
Speaker 2: that have played in those games.
Speaker 3: Got obviously you got to.
Speaker 7: Kicks on the seven games, get the emergency practicing.
Speaker 3: Jordan's out in their funeral, just to in case that happens.
Speaker 2: Their game or right, That's exactly what it is, you know,
Speaker 2: and Jordan's The good thing about Jordan is he did
Speaker 2: in college for a while, so he can do it.
Speaker 2: You saw he kicked great. That was a great kick, right. Uh,
Speaker 2: the operation was really good, So you gotta be prepared
Speaker 2: for everything, right.
Speaker 3: I saw the part up there and he just kind
Speaker 3: of hanging around the offensiveronmenthere. We're going to practice the
Speaker 3: chicks will take some repster or can maintain a world
Speaker 3: of the ten gas.
Speaker 2: Well we're just talking like like bo Assids saying there's
Speaker 2: a chance he'll take some reps there. We just want
Speaker 2: to look at it right now, see what it looks like,
Speaker 2: and if you feel good about it, then then then
Speaker 2: keep moving with it. And it's kind of late. You
Speaker 2: know what I mean. So he'd have to really he'd
Speaker 2: have to really really look good for us to do that.
Speaker 2: But with Pat you never know. I wouldn't count him out.
Speaker 2: I thought, you've had some other quarterbacks banged up in
Speaker 2: the practice, but someone like Brady Stevens. You'd seen him
Speaker 2: at safety, you know, Nickel playing outside filming today and
Speaker 2: he's valuable.
Speaker 6: Is it to have something like that, especially in a
Speaker 6: game day set.
Speaker 8: In where you get up, a couple of guys go down.
Speaker 2: And it's right to look hugely valuable for Brandon's versatility.
Speaker 2: He can play every position and be good, you know,
Speaker 2: and be very good. So we're just talking to him
Speaker 2: in the walkthrough this morning about it today before practice
Speaker 2: about it. You know what a what a blessing that
Speaker 2: is a plus for our team. Sounds great, Thank you.
Speaker 1: That was head coach John Harbaugh. And now there's a
Speaker 1: lot of focus on this secondary going into this season,
Speaker 1: especially at the cornerback position. Defensive backs coach Dinard Wilson
Speaker 1: talked about that today.
Speaker 6: First ball for the opportunity.
Speaker 8: For again because he just coming back in some privilege
Speaker 8: being back in Baltimo, being back in the state of Maryland,
Speaker 8: Maryland where I'm from. So you know, I'm excited to
Speaker 8: be here. Man. I'm honored to be a part of
Speaker 8: the Baltimore Ravens.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 8: Any questions you guys have.
Speaker 3: Talking about the process and you can coming back audience,
Speaker 3: and I just like to talk about a new infensive
Speaker 3: coordinator openings around the league. How did this kind of
Speaker 3: opportunity coming about?
Speaker 8: Well, you know, unfortunately I didn't get the defensive coordinator
Speaker 8: job there. You know, it's just another step, another learning experience.
Speaker 8: When I didn't get the job, things kind of transpired.
Speaker 8: I won't talk about all that, but when it all transpired,
Speaker 8: Coach Harrorball gave me a call, said would I be
Speaker 8: interested in joining the team, And you know I jumped
Speaker 8: at it. I mean to be a dB coach for
Speaker 8: the Baltimore Ravens organization. You can't beat that, all right.
Speaker 8: It's a standard that's set here. And you know I
Speaker 8: was blessing and fortunately that he gave me a gave
Speaker 8: me a call, I could figure that opportunity. It was
Speaker 8: a quick turnaround, obviously, you know, we went out separate
Speaker 8: raised in Philly.
Speaker 5: I had a couple of other.
Speaker 8: Teams reach out to me at the same time. I mean,
Speaker 8: obviously I was just up the road an hour or so.
Speaker 8: My family was. You know, my family's there trying to
Speaker 8: get situated, and I have family. I'm coming back home.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 8: It's a dream for me to be be a raven. Uh,
Speaker 8: coaching professionally in the state that you grew up in.
Speaker 5: You can't beat that. So it was it was quick.
Speaker 8: And uh, it wasn't a hard decision for me to make.
Speaker 3: If you come out with a Stofford obviously with a
Speaker 3: secondary hunches work, you got pretty much did you guys
Speaker 3: kind of close right up?
Speaker 8: Well, you know what, we started doing things that I
Speaker 8: like to do, things that Chris likes to do. We
Speaker 8: kind of blended it. One thing about this defensive staff,
Speaker 8: everybody's tight en it. There is no egos. We are
Speaker 8: here for one purpose and that purpose is make the
Speaker 8: players players as best they could be. So for me,
Speaker 8: it's not about an ego. I'm not gonna be selfish.
Speaker 8: Chris wasn't selfish. We attack the day every day, were
Speaker 8: trying to get these guys better and at the end
Speaker 8: of the day, the way they play is the way.
Speaker 5: We're gonna coach them.
Speaker 8: Take sat time, Well, the big thing, you know, our
Speaker 8: big thing is this, The ball travel further and fast
Speaker 8: in the air does the ground. And we got to
Speaker 8: eliminate the explosive plays. We got to keep the passing
Speaker 8: yards down. But the biggest thing is tacking the ball
Speaker 8: with violence, all right. We got to create way more
Speaker 8: turnovers and take the ball away for our offense. The
Speaker 8: two big winning factors in football is explosive plays and takeaways.
Speaker 8: So we got to stop the explosive players and.
Speaker 5: We got to get a ball back to our offense.
Speaker 6: I said, then, like coaching some of these versatile players
Speaker 6: that could play in all the positions like Kyle Hamilton,
Speaker 6: Brandon Steve has has played in corner and shim Ye
Speaker 6: as well.
Speaker 8: Well, it's great because you know, you know, in this game,
Speaker 8: the more you can do is better. And those young
Speaker 8: men they can pick up things, they grasp it fast.
Speaker 8: They are real intelligent football players. So they'll come out
Speaker 8: there when they switch positions, that might be a mistake
Speaker 8: or two, but they get it corrected, they come back,
Speaker 8: they get better every day. It's a blessing to be
Speaker 8: able to coach a guy like Kyle Hamilton, like he
Speaker 8: has endless potential and as a coach, it's our jobs
Speaker 8: to get everything out of him so he reaches his
Speaker 8: full potential.
Speaker 6: Rock how currently got to get backs.
Speaker 8: Look, competition makes everybody better. It's like iron sharp and
Speaker 8: iron right. So when those guys come out here, we
Speaker 8: want to see who can consistently do the right things
Speaker 8: over and over again. It's not always about the flash plays.
Speaker 8: It's about the technique and fundamentals where their eyes at.
Speaker 8: If they can build on the small stuff and each
Speaker 8: day they started to get better and better, the battle
Speaker 8: will itself will take care of itself.
Speaker 5: You know what I mean.
Speaker 8: So with Rock being out, that provides opportunities for young
Speaker 8: guys to get more reps and it makes us a
Speaker 8: better unit.
Speaker 5: Well, Taylor has all the tutors. You know.
Speaker 3: He has good footwork, he has good he has top
Speaker 3: end scheme. The biggest thing with him is his consistency.
Speaker 2: And any great.
Speaker 8: Playoff good player in that football league, they're consistent on
Speaker 8: a daily basis.
Speaker 3: So some of the days that he comes out.
Speaker 8: Hey, we need to ramp it up a little bit more.
Speaker 8: And he's gaining confidence every play when you notice he's
Speaker 8: always in position. Now it's about finishing when the ball's
Speaker 8: in the air.
Speaker 6: You see where your ear starts to take a lot
Speaker 6: of the first.
Speaker 8: Team pretty but him there a eighties versatile. You know,
Speaker 8: he has outstanding speed. He's a good athlete, he's quick.
Speaker 8: The thing about him he's a smaller man, but he's
Speaker 8: still physical, so he gives you a lot of versatility
Speaker 8: the line up in the small against the smaller slot receivers.
Speaker 2: International talk, you coach the tact the secondary last year
Speaker 2: and the death year.
Speaker 3: What have you learned about Marlin about seeing the house
Speaker 3: in that pre game?
Speaker 5: What makes sense about him?
Speaker 8: Marland isn't comfortable where he's at. You understand what I'm saying,
Speaker 8: And players when they get comfortable, they kind of fall
Speaker 8: to the wayside. Since I've been here, Marlind has been
Speaker 8: a sponge. He asks a lot of questions. You know,
Speaker 8: he'll revert back to some of the players I've coached
Speaker 8: in the pass and how did they do this?
Speaker 6: How?
Speaker 8: So he's trying to incorporate everything in this game. Marland
Speaker 8: wants to be the best in the business and he's
Speaker 8: working every day.
Speaker 5: To try to get there.
Speaker 8: And uh, he has high goals for itself and so
Speaker 8: do we do we for him?
Speaker 3: Coach one of the lower us horse how utten how
Speaker 3: much of the point of number fie that it's a huge.
Speaker 8: Spot point of everdessis. Look, in this game, the fourth
Speaker 8: quarter and the way you finish defines you as a
Speaker 8: football team, period, no matter if it's the first quarter,
Speaker 8: as matters played on the ball, it's it's about finishing.
Speaker 8: So we had you know, we obviously had the conversations
Speaker 8: talking to the young men when they get in a
Speaker 8: situation like that, in two minute situations, red zone, they
Speaker 8: got to slow their heartbeat down. They got to focus
Speaker 8: on the little things to keep the main thing the
Speaker 8: main thing. And when they do that and they play
Speaker 8: with their eyes faster than their feet, they start to
Speaker 8: make players. And that's where we've been hitting with the guys.
Speaker 8: And each day Coach Harball does a great job of
Speaker 8: situational football and they're getting better at it.
Speaker 6: Right, you come up with different aspects to make these
Speaker 6: guys better than they're ground up against the recess or
Speaker 6: like I.
Speaker 8: Said, iron shop as iron right. If you get a
Speaker 8: chance to go against Odell every day, you get a
Speaker 8: chance to go against Zay all the guys that we have,
Speaker 8: of course you're gonna get better, Right, it's they're gonna
Speaker 8: challenge you, They're gonna make their fair share of plays,
Speaker 8: and we're gonna make ours. But if you can make
Speaker 8: players against Odell on a consistent basis or down, and
Speaker 8: then you get better as a football team or football player.
Speaker 8: So having those guys there and then Odell's been great.
Speaker 8: You know, there's certain things that Marlon might do that
Speaker 8: Odell will come to me and say, hey, Marlin should
Speaker 8: probably keep doing this, all right, because he's better against
Speaker 8: me when he does this. So it's good having guys
Speaker 8: like that. That's right, freight from wrong.
Speaker 3: But Philly I think has a different approach, and again.
Speaker 4: From all team practices. I guess it's kind of stuck
Speaker 4: out to you have maybe John this year listings here.
Speaker 8: Different from well, you know Philly. Yeah, Philly does have
Speaker 8: a different approach, not as many reps, but here with
Speaker 8: the reps that we get, the young guys get a
Speaker 8: ton of reps here, right, So with the young guys
Speaker 8: getting you developed those players faster, you know, the Vets,
Speaker 8: they might have their certain amount of plays and then
Speaker 8: we're able to get them out and let these young
Speaker 8: guys come in there. So I think the way this
Speaker 8: schedule is you're kind of building, you building your front
Speaker 8: line of guys, but you're building the back line up too, right.
Speaker 8: So it's been great being here. Uh it's kind of
Speaker 8: like I'm used to when I first was in this league,
Speaker 8: and I love it.
Speaker 1: Thank you. That was defensive backs coach Denard Wilson. And
Speaker 1: also when you look at this cornerback group, it's gonna
Speaker 1: be really imperative for some of the young guys to
Speaker 1: step up and potentially move into bigger roles. And somebody
Speaker 1: who fits that bill is second year cornerback Jalen armor Davis.
Speaker 1: He hardly played as a rookie last year because of injuries,
Speaker 1: but he could be in line for a big role
Speaker 1: in his sophomore season, and he talked about that today.
Speaker 4: Up the christ reps out there.
Speaker 7: I mean that's always a positive thing. Uh, any player
Speaker 7: that's I mean, that's what we play to do. I mean,
Speaker 7: we all want to play. It's always competition across the board.
Speaker 7: I mean it's always a great thing. But right now, honestly,
Speaker 7: it doesn't mean anything to me. It's a long camp.
Speaker 7: It's a lot of reps to be had, So at
Speaker 7: the end of the day, regardless of what team playing on,
Speaker 7: you got to try to be your best and build
Speaker 7: on consistency.
Speaker 3: What ultimately real perspective and that and how did you your.
Speaker 2: Guys into a channel.
Speaker 7: A lesson for sure, it was. It was some ups
Speaker 7: and downs, a little more downs and up, but at
Speaker 7: the end of the day, it was things that I
Speaker 7: learned from. At the end of the day, I was
Speaker 7: able to experience some things and was able to pick
Speaker 7: up on things things I did well, things I didn't
Speaker 7: do well, and things that I would want to fill
Speaker 7: again and things I would never want to fill again.
Speaker 7: So at the end of the day, I was able
Speaker 7: to learn from it and build on it going into
Speaker 7: the next year.
Speaker 5: The first.
Speaker 7: And so, like you said, growth, just growth as a player,
Speaker 7: being healthy, just you know, as a defensive back technique.
Speaker 7: My biggest thing is trying to build on consistency, you know,
Speaker 7: having ups and downs. It's it's nice we make a
Speaker 7: good player every now and then, but you can't, you know,
Speaker 7: give up play. So my main thing is being consistently
Speaker 7: rising and you know, no ups and downs in the heartbeat,
Speaker 7: just trying to consistently go up. That's my main thing.
Speaker 3: Jacon, what's have been like going.
Speaker 6: Up against some of these wide receivers. That's bringing added
Speaker 6: background the flyers, gives a different look thing.
Speaker 7: Yeah, no, it's definitely challenging.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 7: They all bring something different to the table, not just
Speaker 7: the first team, but all three teams. Really. Man, it's
Speaker 7: a very talented room. But it makes practice great. I mean,
Speaker 7: that's what we're here to do. Iron shoping is iron
Speaker 7: and I definitely think that's what they bring to the table.
Speaker 7: A lot of explosiveness, and of course with our quarterbacks
Speaker 7: as well. So it's great competition. I mean that's what
Speaker 7: you live for for sure. Very quick, very explosive, very
Speaker 7: really building proference.
Speaker 3: So when you miss a lot of comments up me
Speaker 3: and reps matter a lot, do you really feel that
Speaker 3: with that practice every day when you.
Speaker 8: At one hundred percent.
Speaker 7: Like I said, that's really my biggest thing right now
Speaker 7: is just building every single day, even if you don't
Speaker 7: have your best day, learning from whatever you did wrong
Speaker 7: that day and just building on not bringing the negativity
Speaker 7: to the next day. And even from last year, just
Speaker 7: even when I wasn't playing, just coming out to practice
Speaker 7: every day, finding something to learn from whether I was
Speaker 7: playing on Sunday or just practicing throughout the week, just
Speaker 7: find something to build on. That's been my main thing
Speaker 7: since I since I got here. Really, I wouldn't say so,
Speaker 7: not necessarily. I mean we're really just trying to take
Speaker 7: it a day at a time, just really being with
Speaker 7: our feet are Today, which is is Monday, so we
Speaker 7: were focusing on Monday practice, not really talking too much
Speaker 7: about Saturday. I'm pretty sure the closer we get, you know,
Speaker 7: the more we'll talk about it. But today we're just
Speaker 7: trying to get better.
Speaker 3: You're on separate celebray after Saday.
Speaker 7: Second, Uh, not necessarily like after practice or anything like that.
Speaker 7: I mean, at the end of the day, the offense
Speaker 7: was in a tough situation. It was situation of football.
Speaker 7: I mean, we did we were supposed to do, so,
Speaker 7: you know, we're not gonna really blow it up too
Speaker 7: much or anything like that. But uh, I mean, to
Speaker 7: do that is always exciting. At the moment, we were
Speaker 7: pretty excited about it. But at the end of the day,
Speaker 7: we understood, you know that the offense is their back
Speaker 7: was against the wall the entire day, and we knew
Speaker 7: that coming into the practice, so we didn't we don't
Speaker 7: really blow it up too much.
Speaker 6: College, the rest of the towns. In the Cornall tractor
Speaker 6: b I go to see playing pay stock her even
Speaker 6: learning more a little more.
Speaker 3: If you have to pump inside the nickel, you're how comfortable.
Speaker 7: Fil uh nickels? It's not really too much of a
Speaker 7: problem for me. I mean when I was when I
Speaker 7: was at Alabama, I really kind of I played everything.
Speaker 7: I played outside, left, right, I played the nickel. In
Speaker 7: the National Championship game, I was playing down. So I've
Speaker 7: kind of had some experience, you know, at any point.
Speaker 7: So whenever I'm out here, just wherever the coaches asked
Speaker 7: me to be, I'm prepared to be able to perform
Speaker 7: at a at my highest level. So it doesn't really
Speaker 7: matter too much of me.
Speaker 4: If you want to talk about that's not such a lot.
Speaker 6: Oh man.
Speaker 7: He just knows how to attack the defense, you know,
Speaker 7: and uh he shows different things. It's not really a
Speaker 7: steady of just a single dose of certain thing so
Speaker 7: that you can just game plan for it. It's gonna
Speaker 7: come in different directions inside, outside, motions, you know, all
Speaker 7: kinds of things that you you gotta be disciplined with
Speaker 7: your eyes, you gotta be disciplined with your technique, or
Speaker 7: it can be very explosive. So he brings a lot
Speaker 7: to the table. So I'm excited for it when the
Speaker 7: season starts, for sure. Yeah, they're like Saturday, we made
Speaker 7: some money. We made we made our own money back
Speaker 7: at the end of the day, because it's up to
Speaker 7: the things that we do wrong, we have to put
Speaker 7: it into a pot. So you know, if we play
Speaker 7: well enough and we put enough money in the pot
Speaker 7: to cancel out what we did wrong, then it's that.
Speaker 7: But it's all based on performance as a group so
Speaker 7: well as individually, and the pot is going to be
Speaker 7: as a group. So you just got to play well
Speaker 7: and you won't have to lose money at the end
Speaker 7: of the day. Thanks good, thank you.
Speaker 1: That was cornerback Jalen armor Davis. And another important piece
Speaker 1: in this secondary mix is Brandon Stevens. He's a bit
Speaker 1: of a Swiss Army knife. He can play safety, he
Speaker 1: can play nickel, he can play outside corner, he can
Speaker 1: do it all. And he's determining exactly what that role
Speaker 1: is going to look like this year, of course, based
Speaker 1: on what the needs are in this Ravens secondary and
Speaker 1: he discussed that with the media today through a training.
Speaker 2: Camp and for you we kind of sending calling back
Speaker 2: to the spring, sending balls, Gonna play safety vehicle and
Speaker 2: keep it outside quarter today.
Speaker 5: Yeah. No, it's it's been going good. You know, I've
Speaker 5: been plugging in, you know, a different position. You know,
Speaker 5: that's kind of been the story of my career here.
Speaker 5: But you know, I'm uh, you know, I'm starting to
Speaker 5: get you know, more comfortable. You know, every day, you know,
Speaker 5: build build up with one another. But uh, you know,
Speaker 5: it's it's been. It's been a good start. Next this
Speaker 5: week is you know, a big week for all of us.
Speaker 5: So we're just ready to show our show what we
Speaker 5: can do on saturdays, Like I.
Speaker 4: Can agree keep in your life.
Speaker 3: When players around us and are.
Speaker 5: Not ask people what do you think that's up, I'll
Speaker 5: just say dB, I just say DV. Do it all.
Speaker 4: Man, you worked at me?
Speaker 2: Do you work up in versatility or from later?
Speaker 3: At some quot do you want to say this is where.
Speaker 8: I hang my hand?
Speaker 5: Yeah? I mean I take pride in you know, being
Speaker 5: able to do you know, all the positions in the secondary.
Speaker 5: You know, it's it's a blessing I can do that
Speaker 5: because not many people can do it.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 5: And you know, do it effectively. Uh, but yeah, I
Speaker 5: take part in it.
Speaker 6: Random time you're going about learning to cool positions at
Speaker 6: the sound of technique that makes understand this situation of
Speaker 6: course in corners four different from before.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I think you know, a lot of it is,
Speaker 5: you know, just my safety reps has helped a lot
Speaker 5: with knowing what the nickel in the corner does because
Speaker 5: as a safety you have to know what all all
Speaker 5: three positions do. And so that's that's helped me with
Speaker 5: each position. And you know, I just you know, just
Speaker 5: take it day by day.
Speaker 3: Yeah, what do you do when you're playing slow?
Speaker 4: What's the key to being successful?
Speaker 5: Man? Yeah, it's monomano. Just just when your match up,
Speaker 5: you know, if it's man, you know, just win the matchup,
Speaker 5: you know. And uh but yeah, that's all it is.
Speaker 5: Whether and that goes for all three positions, you know,
Speaker 5: whether it's corner, nickel, safety, it's monomano, you know, buckle
Speaker 5: up and win the matchup. Is it no?
Speaker 6: On health that you've got a guy like how Hamilton
Speaker 6: doing the same.
Speaker 3: Thing to learn at ultimate positions?
