1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:08,160 Speaker 1: Good toasty, so toasty to day. Yeah, that's bad as expected, though, Nadal, 2 00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:09,680 Speaker 1: it's anything you do want to day. Like there's some 3 00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:12,039 Speaker 1: of them buns of water stuff and it comes up. 4 00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:15,800 Speaker 1: That's it. Hydra hydra. That's it, man, That's the only 5 00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:17,680 Speaker 1: thing you can do. Now. Try to get you know, 6 00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:19,200 Speaker 1: the proper rest the night before you know one. It's 7 00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:21,000 Speaker 1: gonna be a little warmer. You know, I'm gonna be 8 00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:22,800 Speaker 1: in four pads and you know, just trying to drink 9 00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,840 Speaker 1: the fluids down. You camp so far from you seem 10 00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:27,760 Speaker 1: like you've gotten off to a really start. Yeah, feel 11 00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:30,360 Speaker 1: pretty good. Um. Every day, you know, I'm just trying 12 00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:33,320 Speaker 1: to chase consistency, UM, working my technique each and every play, 13 00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:35,680 Speaker 1: and uh, just trying to be better each and every day. 14 00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:39,080 Speaker 1: You know, system experience or familiarity comes with experience in 15 00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:41,920 Speaker 1: your two, but anything about your game physically or maybe 16 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:43,639 Speaker 1: your thought process, it's a little different now in your 17 00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,760 Speaker 1: two versus last season though. Um. Just being more comfortable 18 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,120 Speaker 1: within the scheme, UM, whether it's a man in his 19 00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 1: own knowing what different guys gonna be in different situations, 20 00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,200 Speaker 1: very second, third down, um, and just going out there 21 00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,279 Speaker 1: and playing fast you see from Malcolm, uh going out 22 00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 1: there and compete man um next and op the type 23 00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:02,279 Speaker 1: of um, he's clearing his mind. He's going out there 24 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:08,679 Speaker 1: a tonic leek a lot better. Um. Just a verbict, 25 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,080 Speaker 1: you know, being somewhere for so long, like saying last 26 00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:14,120 Speaker 1: year being my first year here, total new defense with 27 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:16,240 Speaker 1: different guys that I wasn't used to, and then now 28 00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,800 Speaker 1: having the four OTAs with those guys again, and then 29 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:23,280 Speaker 1: going into my second camp, it's night and day. You 30 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:26,320 Speaker 1: got the pass on what sends actually about tak Um 31 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:30,280 Speaker 1: still fast? The pass didn't slow him down, but UM, 32 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 1: I mean, of course we all know these fast UM. 33 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,200 Speaker 1: I think the biggest thing for me seeing from him 34 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:38,000 Speaker 1: as a rookie, he's just not running go routes. You know, 35 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 1: every single play, you know, you see him working hit 36 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,560 Speaker 1: his short to intermediates and intermedia routes as well. And 37 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:44,959 Speaker 1: I think that's what you want to see a question 38 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:46,720 Speaker 1: from a fast guy, because we know he can do 39 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,400 Speaker 1: that at any moment. So speaker to speed Coach Mayor 40 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 1: with Thomas a few months ago, he wanted the defense 41 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,320 Speaker 1: to get faster, and I'm telling that they tried to do. 42 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,960 Speaker 1: Do you feel that there already definitely, Um, within that 43 00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:00,120 Speaker 1: linebacker corps. Um, you got mad, you got a corn on, 44 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 1: you know Bentley, you know, you guys know of Bentley, 45 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 1: you know, and got got the young guys too as well. Man, 46 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 1: those guys are flying around and you got back to 47 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:09,920 Speaker 1: your rookie year a little bit like Tyforn you mentioned 48 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,799 Speaker 1: is play, Like, what do you remember about your rookie year? 49 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 1: Was it as tough as everyone says to this? Yeah, Um, 50 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:17,360 Speaker 1: I think really coming to come to the league as 51 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 1: a rookie, it's more the mental aspect. You know, you're 52 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 1: you're twenty twenty one years old. You got guys you know, 53 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 1: it's been seven, eight, nine years in the league. Um, 54 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:29,240 Speaker 1: their mental capacity is it's brighter than your just because 55 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,040 Speaker 1: they've seen it off. So I think as far as 56 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 1: the physical play, you know, you're in the NFL, so 57 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,120 Speaker 1: you have that, it's it's the mental part, you know, 58 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 1: slowing the game down in your mind, knowing your plays, 59 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:39,360 Speaker 1: noring your checks, you know, knowing where to be in 60 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 1: certain spots. Receivers a totally different thing, you know, as 61 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 1: far as hooking up with the quarterback, um, but I 62 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 1: think that's just the biggest thing as the mental aspect, 63 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 1: did you what did you guys have to do this work? 64 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 1: As you remember back then? Uh, what do we have it? Oh? Yeah, 65 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 1: I got taped to the to the to the goal 66 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 1: post and Malcolm Jenkins is one of my events, Tim 67 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:02,240 Speaker 1: and Ryding McCloud. They go like the automatic water square 68 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 1: and they put it in my jerseys and they just 69 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:05,800 Speaker 1: left it on. So I was stuck out here for 70 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:07,519 Speaker 1: like thirty minutes, soaking west. So it was kind of 71 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,200 Speaker 1: kind of the same, kind of the same. Yeah, down 72 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 1: trainers help me and they eventually like we got meetings 73 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 1: in thirty more minutes, we want to let you get 74 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,399 Speaker 1: in the shower, and they and they got me down 75 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 1: events they left up, Yeah, they left, they left. I 76 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 1: know you've only been here for a year now, but 77 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:23,920 Speaker 1: if you feel yourself taking on a little bit of 78 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,400 Speaker 1: a different role, maybe a leadership type role, just with 79 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,799 Speaker 1: so many new guys in that cornerback room in terms 80 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 1: of helping those guys get up to speed. Yeah, um, 81 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,959 Speaker 1: I think so we got got a couple more younger guys. 82 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,840 Speaker 1: Um Mount you know he's been here before, but just 83 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 1: getting him refreshed. Team Mitch as well, you know, answering 84 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 1: any question that those guys have. Um, Like I said, 85 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 1: we got a lot of stuff within our scheme. You know, 86 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 1: things can't get confused in the verbics, you know, being 87 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 1: some rest and then coming here. Um, so I could 88 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 1: say that. Yep, Jay, when you look at the depth chart, 89 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 1: you know Jac's not here anymore. It could be you 90 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 1: that's sliding up against some pretty good wide receivers. You 91 00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 1: take that as a challenge to you know, get yourself 92 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 1: ready for something like that. Um, that's that's you know, 93 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 1: that's that's the standard here. You know, um corners here 94 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 1: from the past decade. You know, you have to be 95 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 1: guys be able to line up play man and man 96 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 1: plays on whatever it may be. You gotta step up 97 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,120 Speaker 1: with the challenge, Joe. The secondary has a lot of 98 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,840 Speaker 1: guys experience in the slod when you're playing safety and 99 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 1: everything like that. How does that help the secondary as 100 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 1: a whole having that knowl that you're playing the slow 101 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,000 Speaker 1: playing inside. Yeah, Um, it's big. We can move guys 102 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,719 Speaker 1: in different positions, you know, give quarterbacks different looks, and 103 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:29,120 Speaker 1: we know it's not gonna be a drop out for 104 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,480 Speaker 1: guardless of whatever you're spot in, You're not outside, you're 105 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 1: on the inside, you're back deep, you're in the box. 106 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. So I think the versatility is a 107 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 1: great thing in our second here. Do you feel like 108 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 1: coming in this year, know when you're just gonna play corner? 109 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,480 Speaker 1: Supposed last year felt like a part time move and 110 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:45,600 Speaker 1: you're gonna move on around the defense man, you're pretty 111 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 1: locked in. UM, definitely locked in, UM saying just just 112 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:52,200 Speaker 1: playing corner. You never know, you know, with within our 113 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,159 Speaker 1: defensive scheme, UM, I might come in one weekend and 114 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 1: they might say, you know, playing the slot, or it 115 00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 1: might just be like you said, just play outside. So UM, 116 00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 1: I always keep myself afresh, whether it's nickel or outside. 117 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:04,919 Speaker 1: But as right now, y'all just been focused on the 118 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 1: outside jail. What are your thoughts about where you guys 119 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:11,480 Speaker 1: are apt right now? Defensively? Eight days under this UM 120 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,119 Speaker 1: it's kind of hard because of we've been going against 121 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 1: our offense since OTAs. You know, they know our plays, 122 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 1: we know we know there's UM. So then we're at 123 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 1: the biggest thing is is flying around and getting to 124 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 1: the ball, you know, trying to trying to make disruptive plays. 125 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 1: What's the d line? You know, getting tactics for loss 126 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 1: or getting sacks or us in the secondary trying to 127 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:31,800 Speaker 1: get intercepts of a pass breakup. So I think that's 128 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 1: just been the main focus and UM that's what we're 129 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 1: attacking each and every day. We've had some reps against 130 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 1: the Bonte Parker so far. How's he in particular helping 131 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 1: you get ready for those one on one outside and 132 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,159 Speaker 1: receiver situations. He's a savvy guy man for him to 133 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 1: be that tall, Um, he can run. Obviously we know 134 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:47,480 Speaker 1: he can. He can jump up and catch the ball, 135 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 1: but also kind of like we were talking about Thorn, 136 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 1: he's a guy who can run those short to any 137 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,720 Speaker 1: media routes in UM, we know at any point of 138 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:57,279 Speaker 1: time that he can he can take the top off. 139 00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 1: So definitely going against him, it's been a challenge. Anytime 140 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:01,360 Speaker 1: he breaks the huddle when he comes to my side, 141 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,479 Speaker 1: I'm thinking the balls coming, so that that keeps me 142 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,600 Speaker 1: on and that's what I like. Two final questions, Guys, 143 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 1: Joan is a veteran. What are you looking to gain 144 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,839 Speaker 1: from training camp and preseason? How do you kind of 145 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 1: prepare yourself during that time period. UM, just holding in 146 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 1: on my craft, just trying to get better and better 147 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 1: each and every day. Um, this is this is camp 148 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 1: and the preseason is right around the corner. But we 149 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:25,720 Speaker 1: all know, you know it's it's it's a build up. 150 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 1: You know, it's a marathon, not a sprinting. Once a 151 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 1: week one comes, you gotta be sharp, sharp as a knife. Question, 152 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 1: how tough is that to cover a guy that can 153 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,360 Speaker 1: do so many things in the ren zoe, catch the ball, 154 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:39,680 Speaker 1: can't go deep on you. At the same time, how 155 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,480 Speaker 1: much harder does that make your assignment? Definitely tough, um, 156 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:44,839 Speaker 1: because you always think, you know, anytime this guy can't 157 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:46,880 Speaker 1: go up top. But like I said, he does have 158 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 1: the route savvy. He's a savvy bit to where he 159 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,680 Speaker 1: can break those routes off. So um, just gotta be 160 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:53,840 Speaker 1: keyed in, you know, trying to you know, maybe read 161 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 1: a formation or read his body language to try to 162 00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:58,600 Speaker 1: maybe give give off a route up what he may 163 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:00,839 Speaker 1: be doing in can't guess you guess out there on 164 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:09,160 Speaker 1: him it might be a touchdown, Thank you. M
