Hey, I feel like just all the round 33 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:43,760 Speaker 1: defensively as a collective whole um. We've been flying around 34 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 1: man making plays. We're on the same page. You know. 35 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 1: It shows each and every Sunday. You know, we just 36 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 1: you know, very hungry.

Yeah, coach, he's coming and just brought in. 45 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:21,800 Speaker 1: He ain't changed the playbook a lot schematically, but he's 46 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 1: he put certain players and positions to make plays collectively 47 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 1: as a group, especially the secondary. He allows us to 48 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:33,079 Speaker 1: fly around make plays in his scheme. You know, it's 49 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 1: just very friendly to us and as defense as a whole, um, 50 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:39,120 Speaker 1: you know, he and he also brings a lot of 51 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 1: energy towards the defense.

Um, all pro players, 64 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,959 Speaker 1: pro bowled players with Justin and Kareem Kjack. You know, 65 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 1: they just taught me a lot coming into the league. 66 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 1: You know, this is only my second year, you know, 67 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 1: and I've learned a lot, you know, just watching them, 68 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 1: how they prepare um. You know how they look at 69 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,520 Speaker 1: certain Tennessee's formations. You know how they you know, how 70 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 1: they study themselves in the film room. You know, they 71 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 1: just I just learned a lot from them. You know. 72 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 1: It just helps me um play better as a player. 73 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 1: You know, when you have guys like that in the 74 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 1: back end that could help you like that. Have you 75 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 1: always played corner like on every level? Yeah, I can 76 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 1: say that. I Mean the crazy thing about it is, 77 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 1: I know people probably looking at me crazy. I I 78 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 1: really didn't want to play corner too high school. But 79 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 1: like people think, like naturally, you know, corner was that 80 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 1: the natural position. It It is true, like corner was 81 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 1: my natural position. But I wanted to be an offensive 82 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 1: guy because literally, you know, I wasn't running back, receive 83 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 1: a quarterback, dB all that. But you know, everybody want 84 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 1: to score touchdowns, everybody want to do this. And then 85 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 1: I realized it, like it's pretty dope. Uh, when you 86 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 1: lock down an opposing receiver. So why not trying something different? 87 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 1: You know, why not um do something that's how the unusual. 88 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 1: You know people everybody want to play offense and scored 89 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 1: a touchdown, why not play defense, you know and do that. 90 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:30,680 Speaker 1: So you know, I just stuck with it and just 91 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:34,160 Speaker 1: it became that true for me. How much did help 92 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,600 Speaker 1: with that, Oh a lot?

But at 126 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,720 Speaker 1: the same time, you still got locked in and trying 127 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 1: not to let the outside no it's distract you from 128 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:18,280 Speaker 1: your play, you know, and just stay locked in so 129 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 1: with when I hear from guys like that, you know, 130 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 1: it's very appreciative. It's cool. It's really cool to watch 131 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,560 Speaker 1: it tape. Man, you you got great technique at the 132 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,040 Speaker 1: line of scrimmage, the way you attack the ball going 133 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,599 Speaker 1: over the right shoulder, even if even if that moves, 134 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,480 Speaker 1: the hand grabs, like the subtle stuff that you get 135 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 1: that you get going that people ain't paying attention to. 136 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 1: But how is it? How much what went is going 137 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 1: to Obama? Like you just want, you just want? That 138 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,600 Speaker 1: decision was kind of it was crazy. Um, my high 139 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 1: school recruitment was crazy going into it, like you would 140 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,040 Speaker 1: have I just talked about one home and visit my 141 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 1: senior year on my head, like five specific schools put 142 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 1: up in my driveway. It was like at the same time, 143 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:04,719 Speaker 1: like you see like you see Clemson, Dabbo pulling the driveway, 144 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:09,040 Speaker 1: Helllyn in orderon and l s U Corps raman in 145 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 1: them in my driveway. Um, then you got Bama, Nick Saban. 146 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 1: You know, it's just crazy, Um that one specific home visit. 147 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 1: Just talking about my high school recruitment, it was crazy 148 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,080 Speaker 1: just going into it. But what led into the decision was, 149 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,680 Speaker 1: you know, it was just something I felt comfortable with 150 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 1: obviously before you know, L s U was my favorite 151 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 1: going into it. Then, you know, I just sat down, 152 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 1: looked at pros and cons and you know Alabama had 153 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,160 Speaker 1: more pros uh new cons compared to L s U. 154 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,120 Speaker 1: But you know, it was it was just a tough 155 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 1: decision all around for me because you know U was 156 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 1: a great school. Um they produced great dbs. You know, 157 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:49,679 Speaker 1: Alabama has it the same way. It was just something different, 158 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,080 Speaker 1: you know, the championship, the pedigree and all that. I 159 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,880 Speaker 1: was sort of like it sort of led me onto that. So, 160 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 1: you know, Alabama, I felt like it's the right choice 161 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 1: for me going into it with Nick Saban, Yeah, I 162 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 1: mean it worked out. It worked out, It looked like 163 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 1: the right you know, you still got the natty. You know, 164 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 1: you still got drafted first round. Did you go as 165 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:08,840 Speaker 1: high as you thought you was gonna go or did 166 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 1: you you know, everybody feel like they slided. Yeah. I 167 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 1: feel like I was gonna be in that top ten 168 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 1: range going into it. Obviously there was a j C 169 00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 1: got picked in front of me, so I felt like 170 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 1: I was gonna be around that range in the top ten. 171 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 1: He got picked eight. I got picked nine.

Yeah, there was definitely pressure going into it 254 00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:24,679 Speaker 1: because obviously, you know, everybody think like I was doing 255 00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,440 Speaker 1: your dad playing leave. They just think like stuff giving 256 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 1: to you in a way. Um, But like I just 257 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:33,480 Speaker 1: had to earn it, you know, earn my respect, earn 258 00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:35,959 Speaker 1: it by my play. You know, I just put my 259 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,680 Speaker 1: head down and started working in my work ethics shows. 260 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,360 Speaker 1: It's the reason to why I got to the stage. Um, 261 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,680 Speaker 1: just by I'm refining my skills, shopping in my skills 262 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:46,599 Speaker 1: each and every day, you know, trying to make a 263 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,160 Speaker 1: name for myself, even though me my dad share the 264 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 1: same name. But you know, it was just goes on 265 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,120 Speaker 1: bigger than that. You know, He's just people don't know 266 00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:56,680 Speaker 1: what the work that you're put in behind the scenes, 267 00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:58,719 Speaker 1: that how long it took for you to get here, 268 00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:00,719 Speaker 1: just about the work ethic and stuff like that. So 269 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 1: you know, I had to earn my respect of course. 270 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:06,280 Speaker 1: You know, obviously Pops had a great career. Um, so 271 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 1: people was gonna be like, obviously it's gonna be some pressure. 272 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 1: But I didn't let it get to me, of course, 273 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:13,200 Speaker 1: because I still got to go out there and showcase 274 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:16,240 Speaker 1: my skills in a way. So you know, I ain't. 275 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:17,560 Speaker 1: I ain't let it get to me in a way. 276 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:19,719 Speaker 1: You know, I just stayed focused a lot. Then.

Of course, you know, it's 303 00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:36,880 Speaker 1: a copycat lead, so you're gonna see the same routes, 304 00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:40,400 Speaker 1: same stems, and so they just becomes second nature, Like Okay, 305 00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:42,920 Speaker 1: I've seen this before.

Boy, you talk about somebody who just 342 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:34,400 Speaker 1: a impact player. Oh yeah, I'm talking about like we 343 00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:36,520 Speaker 1: were talking about, like he got a big brace on 344 00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:40,280 Speaker 1: big cast um. He's been playing physical but like the 345 00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:42,920 Speaker 1: players ain't made with his cast is crazy. I'm like, man, 346 00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:45,920 Speaker 1: he's keeping off for the rest of the years, you 347 00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,040 Speaker 1: know what I mean. It's just he made a pick 348 00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:51,360 Speaker 1: last week against the jack was with his cast on, 349 00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:54,200 Speaker 1: crazy pick diving the steps and I'm like, man, you're crazy, 350 00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:56,640 Speaker 1: But like, yeah, he's He's definitely the best of the game. 351 00:16:56,800 --> 00:17:00,080 Speaker 1: And it's a specific position, bro, there's nobody that like 352 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:04,600 Speaker 1: bigger the size and it did they still call him 353 00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,960 Speaker 1: the shark? Oh that y'all call him the shark. We 354 00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:14,720 Speaker 1: call him the shark. Yeah, So what's what's what's the 355 00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:16,719 Speaker 1: off season routine for you? Now? You know what I mean. 356 00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:18,480 Speaker 1: I guess it's only year two, so you ain't really 357 00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:20,280 Speaker 1: got no routine, you know what I mean? I call 358 00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:23,680 Speaker 1: you after year eight, see what your routine is. I mean, 359 00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,680 Speaker 1: you know when you obviously I'll take times to myself, 360 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,280 Speaker 1: going to travel in my body back, right, you know, 361 00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:32,800 Speaker 1: I don't try to do nothing too crazy, nothing too major. 362 00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:35,480 Speaker 1: You know, probably get treat me in because obviously the 363 00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:37,520 Speaker 1: season is long. You know, you need to get your 364 00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:40,000 Speaker 1: body back. So you know, I just chill probably for 365 00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:42,320 Speaker 1: like a couple of weeks a month if I have to. 366 00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:45,640 Speaker 1: Then you know, I just started getting back into it slowly, 367 00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:49,000 Speaker 1: um progression, day in and day out, a little by little, 368 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:52,000 Speaker 1: you know, just just like little things like probably get 369 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:56,040 Speaker 1: a little lifting in, um, little workout, little footwork and 370 00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:59,639 Speaker 1: stuff like that. Then once weeks um come by. You 371 00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:04,320 Speaker 1: know that when I start like the heavy lifting, the conditioning, 372 00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:07,760 Speaker 1: this stuff, football drills, DP drills and stuff like that, 373 00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:10,720 Speaker 1: that's when I started getting into that. Well, you sound 374 00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:17,320 Speaker 1: like a Vets. That's Vets Vets obviously that that sounds 375 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:22,720 Speaker 1: so like organized, so situated. But like like you said, 376 00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:24,960 Speaker 1: I just be going in with the floor of things, 377 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:28,280 Speaker 1: howving my body field. That's when I'm ready. You're doing 378 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:31,320 Speaker 1: it right, You're doing it right. So who's the best. 379 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,200 Speaker 1: You'ven't see so far. Who's like somebody that you you 380 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,440 Speaker 1: do vet to really be shocked by anything, so I 381 00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:38,600 Speaker 1: know you ain't been shot, but like kind of a 382 00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:40,920 Speaker 1: welcome to the league and you're like damn, like you know, 383 00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:43,120 Speaker 1: it's dude, really, you know. I mean when I first 384 00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:45,600 Speaker 1: saw Randy Moss, I was like, hey, I mean it's 385 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:50,239 Speaker 1: Randy Moss. Now, like yeah, probably I wouldn't get something 386 00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:53,360 Speaker 1: ready this year. We went back and forth. Obviously it's 387 00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:56,399 Speaker 1: a good player, but like he just he just knows, 388 00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:58,639 Speaker 1: like you know, he's been lead for a while. He 389 00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:02,359 Speaker 1: went against great dB, so he knows how to use 390 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:06,080 Speaker 1: things to his advantage. Um, different techniques and stuff. You know, 391 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:07,960 Speaker 1: he could read a DP leverage and sort of used 392 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:09,960 Speaker 1: it to his advantage by different routes and stuff. So 393 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:12,359 Speaker 1: you know, I went on throughout the game. So with 394 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,800 Speaker 1: me at this switch up? How how I was that 395 00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:19,080 Speaker 1: the line? You know, like Presnell, you know that's sort 396 00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:20,880 Speaker 1: of like threw him off a little bit. So yeah, 397 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:22,639 Speaker 1: we're just going back and forth, but you know, going 398 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:24,879 Speaker 1: to get a player like that, you know, he's been 399 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:28,720 Speaker 1: in it for a long time, big experience, very savvy, veteran. 400 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:32,280 Speaker 1: You know, he it's a battle. So he's player. You 401 00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:34,919 Speaker 1: ain't You ain't wrong like everything. You gotta change up 402 00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,240 Speaker 1: with the bond because he gonna and you're lucky you 403 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:40,200 Speaker 1: ain't seeing with a Ran because he's a whole different beats, 404 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:42,959 Speaker 1: you know what's going on with them? Like the connection 405 00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:46,720 Speaker 1: was crazy dumb, like like like teleporting the ball there, 406 00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:49,119 Speaker 1: you're sitting there thinking you ain't cover two re routed 407 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,600 Speaker 1: him outside. Boy, they didn't throw on the back shoulder 408 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:54,200 Speaker 1: before you even got the reroute. Like, hey, bro, like 409 00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:57,359 Speaker 1: this ball he's supposed to come you you bracketing to 410 00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:00,680 Speaker 1: the outside. That's still throw that faith like they don't 411 00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:03,920 Speaker 1: care nothing about it. But that's why I was respecting 412 00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:06,119 Speaker 1: the heck out of how you played him, because you 413 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,520 Speaker 1: never had played him and to hold your own like 414 00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:10,880 Speaker 1: you were and still move side to side. People don't 415 00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:15,680 Speaker 1: understand how hard that is, like in terms of your footwork. Yeah, yeah, 416 00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:18,080 Speaker 1: it's just it's one of those things throughout the game. Um, 417 00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:20,200 Speaker 1: you know, you sort to get the hang of it. 418 00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:23,400 Speaker 1: You know, each and every series, each never snapped with him. 419 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:26,639 Speaker 1: So you know, once I started getting a field for 420 00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:29,800 Speaker 1: that's when I was being able to, you know, be confident. 421 00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:33,240 Speaker 1: You know and played to my advantage. You know, so 422 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:35,439 Speaker 1: who the top four receivers in the league right now? 423 00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:42,960 Speaker 1: Right now, I say jealous, jealous definitely. Uh yeah, he's 424 00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:49,679 Speaker 1: going crazy, justin Jefferson digs Um. They both bother us. Shoot, 425 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:55,040 Speaker 1: I put saying, ain't gotta go um Cooper Cup. I mean, 426 00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:57,960 Speaker 1: you know his scheme and his offer. He just found 427 00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,280 Speaker 1: a way to make plays, right we and we go 428 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,000 Speaker 1: out every time I look, he's making a place. So 429 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:05,280 Speaker 1: you know, it's just crazy. You know how last year 430 00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:08,200 Speaker 1: translates this year. You know he's still bought the high level. 431 00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:12,520 Speaker 1: Oh no, no, no, no, I just say, Tyree, are 432 00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:16,919 Speaker 1: you gonna I'm gonna read and break the record right 433 00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:22,040 Speaker 1: at his Yeah, I forgot my stupid in there. Yeah, 434 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:25,200 Speaker 1: he's going crazy. Like and that's the crazy thing about 435 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:27,960 Speaker 1: the league. Boy, you show up every week, it's somebody 436 00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:30,600 Speaker 1: else that's trying to get it.

Like right, boy, I used 439 00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:41,040 Speaker 1: to be in the game, we up thirty points and 440 00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:43,120 Speaker 1: it'd be some kid coming off the bench like I've 441 00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:45,560 Speaker 1: been waiting to get you. Like, bro, we are up thirty, 442 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:48,000 Speaker 1: Like I'm not trying to deal with you right now. 443 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:50,800 Speaker 1: I'm waiting for him to sub me out. But it 444 00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,760 Speaker 1: don't matter. Like and when you get as good as you're, 445 00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:55,760 Speaker 1: you're about to be, and you're gonna be a perennial 446 00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:59,560 Speaker 1: like all pro pro bowler, like each week, like you 447 00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:02,000 Speaker 1: got the mindset because each week you're gonna have to 448 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:04,840 Speaker 1: stay focused on the task that hand, like stay focused 449 00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:06,960 Speaker 1: on tax because nobody give a damn about what you 450 00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:09,679 Speaker 1: didn't done. What you did. Your vote is I got 451 00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:13,040 Speaker 1: to show it again. And this business is crazy. You 452 00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:15,879 Speaker 1: saw what they did to Chubb. That's crazy to me. 453 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:21,320 Speaker 1: It can happen to anybody. Y'all just been so banged 454 00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:23,919 Speaker 1: up this year too, like that offensively, like, well, how 455 00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:26,240 Speaker 1: does the locker room kind of responded to that? Because offensively, 456 00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:29,880 Speaker 1: y'all didn't lost what people? We lost key players early 457 00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:34,639 Speaker 1: throughout this year, like Tim Javonte Darby. Y'all lost bowls, 458 00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:38,639 Speaker 1: bowls starting tackle like you know, injuries happened, but at 459 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:40,840 Speaker 1: this rate, it is crazy. You know we should look 460 00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:45,080 Speaker 1: like when we like lose, like premier players are dad 461 00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:47,719 Speaker 1: on our team. It's just crazy, you know. That's how 462 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:51,359 Speaker 1: league is um obviously is the next man next up mentality, 463 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,960 Speaker 1: You expect guys to step in at that position and 464 00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:58,480 Speaker 1: make plays like for instance, Virgil Janda Verrgin, he made 465 00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:02,560 Speaker 1: a big time touchdown about the game Judy's plays, you know, 466 00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:05,400 Speaker 1: and you know that's what we expect from the guys 467 00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:07,520 Speaker 1: in the locker room. So you know, obviously it's tough 468 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:09,760 Speaker 1: when you see injuries like that happen, but you know, 469 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:12,000 Speaker 1: you gotta expect for the next guy that's coming in 470 00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:14,800 Speaker 1: to make plays. So y'all got some tough games coming up. 471 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:17,280 Speaker 1: You know, obviously you're playing were on defense. What do 472 00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:19,359 Speaker 1: they got to do offensively to turn around? You know, 473 00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:22,080 Speaker 1: I'm sure in practice it's looking good. You know, you 474 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,680 Speaker 1: guys coming up with good plans, and you know, it's 475 00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:27,200 Speaker 1: just been kind of a tough, tough sledding. You know, 476 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:29,199 Speaker 1: it's just a tough game last week. You know, Tennessee 477 00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:31,720 Speaker 1: is always a tough game period. Um, what do you 478 00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:37,240 Speaker 1: think needs to improve offensively as a team? Offensively? Uh, 479 00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:42,600 Speaker 1: I just feel like, um, we got proved on little things. 480 00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,520 Speaker 1: Of course, obviously, I feel like penali has been killing 481 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 1: us offensively pre snap penalties and stuff like that. But 482 00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:53,320 Speaker 1: you know, obviously we got firepower everywhere. Um, you know 483 00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:57,200 Speaker 1: what Russ Court, Judy, those guys. We got a great 484 00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:00,800 Speaker 1: backfield with melvine Um. But it's just I just think 485 00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:03,080 Speaker 1: it starts with, you know, having a balance, you know, 486 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:06,159 Speaker 1: just finding that routine with us. Um we're still in 487 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:08,320 Speaker 1: the midst of the season. We could change things around, 488 00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:10,720 Speaker 1: but um not. I just feel like, you know, the 489 00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:13,040 Speaker 1: time is now where we gotta sort of see those 490 00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:16,400 Speaker 1: changes happening. But you know it's gonna come. Obviously it's 491 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:19,200 Speaker 1: been tough for them, but you know, it's just a 492 00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:23,720 Speaker 1: time of growth. You know. Obviously it's a first year situation, 493 00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:26,919 Speaker 1: first year system for everybody, so I feel like they 494 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,480 Speaker 1: still learning and growing. So, you know, just it's just 495 00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:32,320 Speaker 1: I just feel like it takes time. But like I said, 496 00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:34,719 Speaker 1: the time is now, you know. You know, I mean, 497 00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:36,560 Speaker 1: you you you wanted the leaders on the team just 498 00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:39,280 Speaker 1: by example, you know, but do you feel like you you, 499 00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:41,359 Speaker 1: you know, with things going the way they are, you 500 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:43,720 Speaker 1: kind of gotta be more vocal leader and try to 501 00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:47,040 Speaker 1: encourage guys and try to bring guys along, which, yeah, definitely, 502 00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:49,920 Speaker 1: I gotta definitely bring on that vocal aspect. Obviously, you know, 503 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:52,320 Speaker 1: I'm a quiet guy. You know, I just stay low 504 00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:54,440 Speaker 1: to do what I gotta do. But with me, I 505 00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:57,119 Speaker 1: gotta have a voice in certain situations. You know, I 506 00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:59,280 Speaker 1: got to be more of a vocal leader on the team, 507 00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:02,480 Speaker 1: even if it's my second year, um, because you know 508 00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:05,639 Speaker 1: when I feel like guys when they see a player 509 00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:07,960 Speaker 1: in the second year, so to speak up and you know, 510 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:12,199 Speaker 1: just vocally at a different manner, with a different attitude. Now, 511 00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:13,840 Speaker 1: I just feel like it helps the team a lot. 512 00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,240 Speaker 1: So that's something I could definitely go and build on 513 00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:19,720 Speaker 1: the team. Yeah, a little encouragement goes a long way. 514 00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:22,680 Speaker 1: To understand that, just a little pad on the back, 515 00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:25,560 Speaker 1: a little man, I see you working. It's crazy how 516 00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:27,200 Speaker 1: far did that goes? You know what I mean?

Like no, it's 521 00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:39,080 Speaker 1: just sometimes it's about being encouraged and being positive and 522 00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:41,840 Speaker 1: that can be contagious and dudes can can jump on 523 00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:46,120 Speaker 1: that train and and things start at turning around.
