1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:01,280
Speaker 1: How you do train?

2
00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:05,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, stay over there. I'm good. How are y'all?

3
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:11,200
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, y'all go, y'all go. How how's business?

4
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 1: It's going good. It's going good. Just having fun being

5
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:15,160
Speaker 1: back on the field.

6
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 2: Had a nice compliment from AJ Brown the other day.

7
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:20,280
Speaker 3: Uh, we were talking to him.

8
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:23,239
Speaker 2: That was a draining practice, he had said about it.

9
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:25,240
Speaker 3: But you as like the best to be coming out

10
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:27,640
Speaker 3: last year and felt like you guys got pretty good work.

11
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 2: What was your view of the work you got against Aj?

12
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:33,480
Speaker 2: What was that about? Oh? Yeah, for sure.

13
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 1: I mean, as everybody know, AJ is one of the

14
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 1: best in the league. So being able to go up

15
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 1: against him is is real good to is. You know,

16
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:43,520
Speaker 1: it's great work to to see it in a practice setting,

17
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 1: cause it's it's so much different than in the game.

18
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 1: Practice in the game is is two completely different things.

19
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 1: So being able to practice against him and Smitty, it's

20
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:55,279
Speaker 1: a an amazing thing.

21
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 2: It just gets you great work.

22
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 3: Cha, How did you challenge.

23
00:00:58,000 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 2: You in the practice?

24
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 1: You know, in terms of what he brings to the team,

25
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 1: you know, he's fast, he's physical, he's he's really smart.

26
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: He understands the game, knows the game. Uh, you know,

27
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 1: he's been doing it for.

28
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 2: A while, so.

29
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 1: Him him, I would say, knowing the game and knowing

30
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 1: his tools and how he uses them against me or

31
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 1: the other corners, that's kind of how he he pushed us.

32
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:23,680
Speaker 4: Is it different when you play someone like smith Here's

33
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:27,199
Speaker 4: obviously he he's not built like a brick bleap house.

34
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 4: You know, he's skinny, but fast and and and quick, Like,

35
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:32,959
Speaker 4: how do you process that in the moment of like.

36
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, yeah, for sure.

37
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:37,319
Speaker 1: You know, it's kind of it's kind of just like

38
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 1: and in that aspect, is kind of like a game

39
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 1: because you know, you see every you see different receivers

40
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 1: on each team, like you're saying, so you just you

41
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 1: just know going into the.

42
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 2: Rep alright, I got I got.

43
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 1: Smithy for example, He's he's a completely he brings a

44
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: whole different skill set than uh Aj does. So you

45
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 1: just know mentally going into it, all right, I need

46
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 1: to play more this way.

47
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 2: I need to play more this way towards him, Gus.

48
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 3: Your practice and games two completely different things. When you're

49
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 3: out of here practicing or y, will you try things

50
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 3: on the practice field that you wouldn't try in the game.

51
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 3: How does how does your approach change depending on.

52
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 2: The set of game.

53
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, yeah, you can try things. Of course,

54
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:17,639
Speaker 1: y of course you can try something you've never done

55
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 1: in practice. You would wanna try it before you try

56
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 1: to do it in the game. But yeah, you can

57
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: mix up techniques and and just see what what what

58
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 1: you feel most comfortable with and and like I I'll

59
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 1: change I'll go against s one of our receivers and

60
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,919
Speaker 1: change a technique each time to just see, okay, how

61
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 1: that went against him, and then how I can carry

62
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:39,920
Speaker 1: that into a game.

63
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 3: Christian, I'm sorry if you were asked, and so I know, uh,

64
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 3: against the Eagle, they try to go deep on you

65
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:44,640
Speaker 3: pretty early on.

66
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:46,800
Speaker 2: Look like you were reading the quarterback and made hesitated.

67
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 2: I was wondering what you saw enough?

68
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 1: What Yeah, you know, it was kind of it was

69
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: just it was bad eyes, bad rep by me. But

70
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 1: you know, got in the uh in the film room, fixed.

71
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 2: It and moved on. So we're good.

72
00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 3: How nice is it to have the experience like you

73
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 3: type of versatility against a J. Brown and that Davonte's

74
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,079
Speaker 3: this early on, considering the guys that you'll be going

75
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:05,959
Speaker 3: against early.

76
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 1: On, it's real good. It's it's it's very helpful. It's

77
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:14,679
Speaker 1: very it picks the speed up. Like coming into a

78
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 1: joint practice, It's everybody knows how a joint is. It's

79
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 1: there's a lot of emotion, a lot of you know,

80
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 1: ants like antsy to just to be able to go

81
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 1: against another team in practice, so you know, you kind

82
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 1: of get that game feeling of of the emotions, I

83
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 1: would say, but it's a practice, so it helps a lot,

84
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: if that makes sense.

85
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 2: You mentioned understanding of the game a specific ability. How

86
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 2: much better is your understanding of the game today as

87
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:46,119
Speaker 2: a student of the game.

88
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I feel like it's improved, but it's still

89
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 1: so much.

90
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 2: More I can improve.

91
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 1: I feel like I've I've picked up a lot more

92
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: on like the an offensive you know type of mindset,

93
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 1: looking at at the offense and kind of like studying

94
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 1: offensive coordinators not just offense.

95
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 2: So going digging deeper into things.

96
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 1: Like that, that helps. That's helped me take a step

97
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 1: forward already.

98
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 3: At this point, who breaks away from the first gaming season?

99
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 2: Right?

100
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 3: But how much of you study the guys that you

101
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 3: think you might go against.

102
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:23,839
Speaker 2: The regular season started?

103
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,600
Speaker 1: Oh, it's it started a while ago. Yeah, it's it's

104
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,719
Speaker 1: it's been started a while ago at So what do

105
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 1: you do you know, I mean, like you said, it's early,

106
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 1: so kind of just watching, just breaking down like how

107
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: how how each receiver moves, how they they go about

108
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 1: coming in and out of the huddle, how they kind

109
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 1: of more of the little things, more of the little

110
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:52,040
Speaker 1: things towards the person, the actual receiver, not so much

111
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 1: the scheme. You know, we get more into that once

112
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:56,600
Speaker 1: we get to the week of the game, but it's

113
00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:00,160
Speaker 1: more studying the the mannerisms of small little things.

114
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 4: You're looking for. So you're looking for towels kind of

115
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:03,160
Speaker 4: like if this guy does this coming out of the

116
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 4: huttle saw four times and you were in the same

117
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 4: route four times, or like release patterns, things like that.

118
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, you gotta you gotta find a way

119
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 1: playing corner. You gotta you gotta find a little extra step.

120
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:14,599
Speaker 2: Is that something you did.

121
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:16,479
Speaker 3: Last year or because you're you know, in your first

122
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 3: year last year and probably going pretty quickly like to

123
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 3: were you're not able to do some of that work.

124
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 2: That you're doing now.

125
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: I mean that was that was something I learned from college.

126
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 1: My college coach, the Metris Martin, who taught me, you know,

127
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:33,159
Speaker 1: going into college I didn't really like understand how to

128
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 1: watch film, Like I was just okay, turn the you

129
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:37,840
Speaker 1: turn the film on, you see them do this, but

130
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 1: like you gotta understand like why they're doing it, how

131
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,599
Speaker 1: they're doing it. Uh So he taught me those little things.

132
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 1: So being able to do that since college helped me

133
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:47,479
Speaker 1: into the league.

134
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:49,280
Speaker 2: Did you ever get self scout to try to make

135
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 2: sure you don't have what he tells the people what

136
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,559
Speaker 2: they're gonna bow? Oh yeah, you always self scout always,

137
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 2: It's always.

138
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: That's the best scout you can do is is self scout,

139
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 1: cause you know you wanna be your toughest critic. You know,

140
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: you don't want anybody to be tough around yourself than

141
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 1: you are. So like you said, self scout is is

142
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,600
Speaker 1: the biggest thing that's I.

143
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:08,160
Speaker 2: Do that a lot.

144
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 3: It's true, take fewer guys. You had to tackle the

145
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 3: other thing the other night, Mooka and I just wanted

146
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 3: to wait much you can steel?

147
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 1: Did you sort of get like the first one?

148
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 2: I think it was the first one. Oh yeah, Like

149
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 2: was there anything for that? From your perspective? Fell it was.

150
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 1: It was fun to get out there and get a

151
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,160
Speaker 1: tackle in just just you know, get that, you know,

152
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 1: that weight off your shoulders.

153
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,160
Speaker 2: Uh it. It was felt good to do it though,

154
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 2: for sure, if you're.
