Speaker 1: Well, I mean usually your slot corner is probably the
Speaker 1: third best corner in your team. UM, and I think
Speaker 1: Jordan's good enough to beat anybody's third best corner. And
Speaker 1: it's that simple, I think. I mean, you know, every
Speaker 1: every receiver has um their own attributes that that give
Speaker 1: them an advantage, whether they're shorter and quicker, UM, or
Speaker 1: they're bigger and more physical in the slot. I think
Speaker 1: it's just Um, he uses his body well. I think
Speaker 1: he knows how to uh be physical at the line
Speaker 1: of scrimmage. Were guys that want to press him, he
Speaker 1: knows how to release. He's strong at the top of
Speaker 1: his routes and has really good by the control in
Speaker 1: the catch. So I think he knows how to use
Speaker 1: his attributes to his advantage. You guys look good in
Speaker 1: the preseason in the secondary. How much can you say, okay,
Speaker 1: based on the week on the preseason, only the preseason,
Speaker 1: that this is going to translate into the regular season.
Speaker 1: I mean, none of that matters so far what we've done.
Speaker 1: I mean, every day we're trying to get better. Um.
Speaker 1: The preseason doesn't count for a reason, and UM, so
Speaker 1: nothing that we do UM last week, the week before that,
Speaker 1: this week is I'm gonna guarantee that we have success
Speaker 1: in the season. It's just us going to compete each
Speaker 1: and every time we're out here working. We want to
Speaker 1: be the best unit in the in the league, and
Speaker 1: we feel like we can be. But that comes with
Speaker 1: a lot of work, a lot of daily efforts, a
Speaker 1: lot of um um purposeful, meaningful work, and that's yet
Speaker 1: to be done. Playing well may matter, per se, but
Speaker 1: it wouldn't give you guys a lot of confidence, especially
Speaker 1: after what they those guys give you guys last year.
Speaker 1: I mean we got confidence regardless. I think you know,
Speaker 1: whoever we match up against, we have confidence and in
Speaker 1: playing our technique and competing. So I don't think going
Speaker 1: against Green Bay will give us more confidence. I think, um,
Speaker 1: it's just an opportunity for us to compete. Where do
Speaker 1: you get better here for the season out of here
Speaker 1: in the training or in those preseason games. I mean,
Speaker 1: you know it's yeah, I think both you get different things.
Speaker 1: I think from a skill standpoint, you during practices where
Speaker 1: you're really hone in on your skills, but uh, when
Speaker 1: you get to the game, you know, you get the
Speaker 1: timing of tackling. And because we don't talk a lot
Speaker 1: about here, but um, you get the timing of actually
Speaker 1: striking somebody. What is really like to fit in the
Speaker 1: run and and um, it's a little bit faster, a
Speaker 1: little more intense. So the timing aspect you get you
Speaker 1: get back in the preseason games. But from a skill development,
Speaker 1: that's all during during the work week and really by
Speaker 1: time the game come, you just just out there playing
Speaker 1: much of the competition, you know, seton teams, like what
Speaker 1: is walking down to kind of lock it down doing
Speaker 1: the definitely made a bunch of plays since he's got here.
Speaker 1: I mean, whether he's punching the ball a lot, he's
Speaker 1: making the interceptions, uh, you know, he's playing well, he
Speaker 1: knows the defense, he's making calls. Um. So it really
Speaker 1: hadn't been close when we're talking about this second state
Speaker 1: safety spot. Um, which is good. You know, I think
Speaker 1: we wanted to see somebody coming and grab that spot
Speaker 1: by the horns, and he's done such um and so
Speaker 1: we're excited to see what that turns out to be
Speaker 1: this year. The other two guys, I mean, I think
Speaker 1: it's uh, it's still on going. I think that the
Speaker 1: communication between me and him is great. I think this
Speaker 1: week though we've put me with the twos and let
Speaker 1: some of the younger guys who are battling for that
Speaker 1: third spot um take reps with the ones to make
Speaker 1: not only them communicate, but also maybe kind of water
Speaker 1: take that um lead and and be able to make
Speaker 1: all the calls and get lined guys lined up as well.
Speaker 1: So that part, um, you know, with him being new
Speaker 1: in the system, something that we're still of him. Early
Speaker 1: impressions with Nelson and you know now that camps weeks,
Speaker 1: you know his anything changed. Um My, My initial UM
Speaker 1: thoughts about Nelson that he's a great athlete. He's very
Speaker 1: very smooth and sudden and has really good routes for
Speaker 1: a young receiver. The one thing that when he first
Speaker 1: got here that I don't think he understood was the
Speaker 1: timing of offensive football in the NFL. That it's not,
Speaker 1: you know, in the game, it's not like a one
Speaker 1: on one drill where you have all day to get open.
Speaker 1: It's you gotta beat your guy and be where you're
Speaker 1: supposed to be at when you're supposed to be there.
Speaker 1: Um And I think he struggled with that early. But
Speaker 1: as of as of lately, you know, he's spending an
Speaker 1: extra time. He's a humble guy. He works hard, and
Speaker 1: he's starting to get that that timing in rhythm part
Speaker 1: of offense down. So he's getting off the line faster,
Speaker 1: he's getting to his route, getting into his routes, and
Speaker 1: he's already smooth and sudden. The rest of it is
Speaker 1: just you know, guy given time. So I think once
Speaker 1: he continues to learn the game and learn the intricacies
Speaker 1: of his position, I think he'll be great. That's the
Speaker 1: third jomp in your You can see those different times. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, it's it's it's actually pretty close.
Speaker 1: We're still trying to determine that. I think, you know,
Speaker 1: the next two preseason games will be, um, you know,
Speaker 1: a crucial evaluation for that. Um, you got Marigos, who's
Speaker 1: coming in and play solid. Ed Reynolds came in and
Speaker 1: made a bunch of plays. Prazinski's come in and play
Speaker 1: solid as well. He's had a strong camp. So, um,
Speaker 1: you know, we'll see and I think that's it's gonna
Speaker 1: be fun to watch that play out, and um, you know,
Speaker 1: over the next two weeks, I think they'll make those
Speaker 1: decisions at least encouraging. You know, it's preseason, but the
Speaker 1: past season that you guys, you haven't give it enough,
Speaker 1: the deep fall. I think it's only been two games,
Speaker 1: but he's encouraging that that was a big problem last
Speaker 1: year and now, no, that's I mean, this isn't you're
Speaker 1: you're speaking from the perspective of last year, and so
Speaker 1: to not have the ball over your head is an
Speaker 1: average accomplishment in the NFL. So we don't get excited
Speaker 1: about doing average things compared to last year. That was
Speaker 1: a great thing, but you know, that's what we're supposed
Speaker 1: to do. And so you know, as it's one of
Speaker 1: those we don't get too encouraged by because we're just
Speaker 1: doing what we're supposed to do. We have confidence in
Speaker 1: the guys that we have out there and we want
Speaker 1: to be great. So just going out and not giving
Speaker 1: up big plays, it's not something we get super excited about. Year.
Speaker 1: If this was last year, we'd be jumping for joy.
Speaker 1: But this is twenty and fifteen. Somebody what the biggest
Speaker 1: change in his play confidence? I think the biggest thing is, um,
Speaker 1: he's just making more plays. I mean, I think he's
Speaker 1: more comfortable with making calls and he's taking a little
Speaker 1: bit more chances than he did last year. Uh, if
Speaker 1: you just watched the preseason game where he had two
Speaker 1: interceptions last year, a preses game, I think he had
Speaker 1: to play just like that and dropped it. And so
Speaker 1: just what making those plays, What that desk for your
Speaker 1: confidence as a player is, you know, it's like no other.
Speaker 1: So I think the more and more he makes plays,
Speaker 1: the more confident he'll get, the more plays he'll make,
Speaker 1: and um, you know, it's fun to watching him develop
Speaker 1: and really making a push to make this team.
