1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,120 Speaker 1: We should take away from yesterday with the Jets football. Yeah, 2 00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:06,480 Speaker 1: I thought it was that was a good practice. Um. 3 00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:09,720 Speaker 1: I thought we competed well, but we execute it well. Um. 4 00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:12,600 Speaker 1: I don't know how the offense did, but uh, defensively, 5 00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:15,240 Speaker 1: I thought we did well. We had some little hiccups 6 00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:17,680 Speaker 1: here and there, but um, overall, I thought it was 7 00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:20,600 Speaker 1: a good day for us already. Do you think you 8 00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:23,400 Speaker 1: guys are for the season, and like what do you 9 00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:26,480 Speaker 1: think you need to do to get there? I think 10 00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:29,120 Speaker 1: we're I think we're ready. I think we've done a 11 00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:32,479 Speaker 1: great job of of you know, getting prepared, um, you know, 12 00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:36,920 Speaker 1: making sure that we're conditioned, um, tightening up the little things, 13 00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:40,120 Speaker 1: um as far as you know, plays and and things 14 00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:42,120 Speaker 1: like that. I think the coaches have done a great 15 00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:44,839 Speaker 1: job with us of helping us get prepared and be 16 00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:48,239 Speaker 1: ready for the season. UM So now obviously we got 17 00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:51,000 Speaker 1: another game, so I played that game and then you know, 18 00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:54,440 Speaker 1: onto the season, um, onto the regular season playing that 19 00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:57,960 Speaker 1: game that Yeah yeah, yeah, I expected play every game. UM, 20 00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:01,040 Speaker 1: we all do. UM, so see it as that approaches 21 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,320 Speaker 1: us that way in that mindset, just how we have 22 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:09,440 Speaker 1: the last two preseason games with you and your film 23 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:14,199 Speaker 1: prep and everything else for for week one? How much 24 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,640 Speaker 1: do you wait? How hard it is to wait? Or 25 00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:21,039 Speaker 1: have you already begun digging in on you already begin 26 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 1: before we got here. Um, I was already uh you know, 27 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:31,400 Speaker 1: preparing for um that week one game before we started, O, T, 28 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 1: A S and everything. So I was kind of looking 29 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 1: up some like small things, but um, definitely exciting. Uh. 30 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:41,920 Speaker 1: But you know we've all been, you know, getting prepared 31 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 1: and you know, ready for that for that week one 32 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 1: want to started soar uh just to get a head start. Um, 33 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,640 Speaker 1: so uh you know, see the little things like who 34 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 1: the O C is, kind of what his background is, 35 00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 1: things like that. Um. Obviously you don't have too much 36 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 1: information that early. UM, but you know I found out 37 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 1: as much as I could. I found some good stuff. UM, 38 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 1: some stuff we'll see if it holds true or not, 39 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 1: but uh, I found some good things. UM. But you 40 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 1: know that's the reason they're starting early, just trying to 41 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,040 Speaker 1: get a head start on it. What is it like 42 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:18,520 Speaker 1: having Shuppard back? It feels great. Um. You know when 43 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:22,079 Speaker 1: we got hurt, um, and I talked to him, uh 44 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 1: when he when he did get hurt, and and told 45 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,799 Speaker 1: him how much I you know looked up to him. Um, 46 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,520 Speaker 1: how much he meant until us as a team, how 47 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 1: much he meant to me as a leader, um, you 48 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 1: know on this team. So it was great to have 49 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 1: him back. His energy is is like no other. Um. 50 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,839 Speaker 1: You know, he brings a great energy, great spirit every day. Um. 51 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:43,480 Speaker 1: And he's just one of those guys you just love 52 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,400 Speaker 1: to be around. So uh, definitely good to see him 53 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 1: back out there moving. Uh, like like rself. You guys 54 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 1: can feel a lot of young safeties guys. Are you 55 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:53,799 Speaker 1: haven't played a lot in the NFL. What have you 56 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,799 Speaker 1: seen from guys like Trenton or Corker or Nate. Yeah, 57 00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,040 Speaker 1: they worked hard. Um. Those guys have came in and 58 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,520 Speaker 1: every each and every day, UM, just trying to get better, 59 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,240 Speaker 1: trying to learn. Um. And you know we're learning with him. 60 00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 1: I think that's a good thing about you know, all 61 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 1: of us being being pretty young, we were still all learning. 62 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 1: So we can feed off each other. Um, we can 63 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,000 Speaker 1: help each other in different areas. UM. But they've done 64 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 1: a great job with just coming in and and and 65 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 1: helping a lot. Um. Obviously, Uh, they were you know, 66 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,520 Speaker 1: went through a little learning curve whatever, but uh, they've 67 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 1: done a great job just going out there and playing 68 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 1: and uh in the film room helping us out, bringing 69 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,360 Speaker 1: in those rookie snacks stuff like that. So they they've 70 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 1: been doing great though, Chef, how much did you guys 71 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 1: look at him? It's sort of like the old head. 72 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 1: I mean, he's he has been here longer than everybody's. 73 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 1: He's not really that old for guys in the league. Ye. Yeah, 74 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 1: I mean I mean, like I said, he's he's a 75 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 1: he's a true leader. Um. And that's how we see it. Um. 76 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 1: You know, he's one of those guys that gets our 77 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 1: team going. He's one of those guys against offense going. 78 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 1: So um, like I said before, I know, we know 79 00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 1: how much he means to us. Um, you know, as 80 00:03:59,920 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 1: a leader and as a player. Um. So you know 81 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 1: we we we don't look really look at him as 82 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 1: an old head because he's not like you said, he 83 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 1: ain't like super O. But um, you know he's our, 84 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 1: he's our, he's one of our leaders. Kind of expectations 85 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,840 Speaker 1: or goals do you have for yourself for the sis? Um, 86 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:22,839 Speaker 1: just to uh uh you know, play play well execute. Um, 87 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 1: you know, be able to to help my team in 88 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 1: any way that I can, whether that's UM coming in 89 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,919 Speaker 1: here with with a great amount of energy. UM, whether 90 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 1: that's UM, you know, helping the helping the young guys, 91 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,240 Speaker 1: UM wherever wherever I can you know, help help the 92 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 1: team and whatever I'm being asked. That's pretty much, uh, 93 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,239 Speaker 1: you know, my goals for the season. My personal stuff, 94 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 1: I don't I only like to get too much into 95 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,160 Speaker 1: it or let it be public. But um, that's how 96 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:53,279 Speaker 1: I feel for just my team stuff. You're a good guy, 97 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 1: but kind of have curval leadership roll already other defense teach. 98 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:01,839 Speaker 1: What is that like to be so young? But also 99 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,479 Speaker 1: though you have a lot of your plate, Uh, it's 100 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 1: not really a lot. I don't consider it a lot 101 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 1: of my plate. Um. It's things that I'm used to. 102 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 1: It's things that I've done before. So I don't see 103 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,040 Speaker 1: it as a lot. I see it as, you know, 104 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 1: just just things that I've already done before that I 105 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 1: have to do it again. UM, So I don't see 106 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 1: it as a lot. I think it's Uh, it's obviously 107 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 1: an honor to be in this position that I'm in, UM, 108 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 1: and I expect to, uh, you know, see the opportunity 109 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,360 Speaker 1: and take full advantage of it. You're not really used 110 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,720 Speaker 1: to losing in your football career, right, how have you 111 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 1: mentally processed what happened last year? And you know how 112 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:47,160 Speaker 1: impatient are you to kind of turn it? Uh? Pretty impatient? Um. 113 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 1: Like every time I think about it, I try not 114 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 1: to think too much about it, um, because it's a 115 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 1: new year. So obviously we got to focus on what's here. Um. 116 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 1: But you know, uh, we we we had to go 117 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 1: through you know, those rough times and and we went 118 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 1: through that all that losing. So UM for me, Um, 119 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,320 Speaker 1: I'm ready to get back out there. I'm ready to 120 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 1: to win games. Um. But I think that that starts with, 121 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 1: you know, the stuff that we do out here in 122 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 1: practice that you gotta see. Um, it starts with the 123 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:16,839 Speaker 1: things that we're doing the film room. Um, it starts 124 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 1: with starts with what we do um in the in 125 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:24,240 Speaker 1: the weight room. Um. All the little things matter. Um. 126 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 1: That's what I've noticed. That's what it's always been. That's 127 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 1: the difference between winning and losing the little things. UM. 128 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:31,920 Speaker 1: So I think we've done a great job of taking 129 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:33,360 Speaker 1: care of that, and I think you know, the rest 130 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 1: will take care of it. So the way that you 131 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:37,160 Speaker 1: the way that you have the dot and you we 132 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 1: see you breaking down the team. Is that always has 133 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 1: that always been you? Or if you had to come 134 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,159 Speaker 1: out of a show at all to be that vocal 135 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,120 Speaker 1: or is that you always been that way here? Yeah? 136 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 1: I was that way at Bama, UM, and you know 137 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,159 Speaker 1: I was. I was always that. This this is just 138 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 1: who I am. UM. So that's why I say it's 139 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 1: not like, uh like heavy on my on my shoulders 140 00:06:58,400 --> 00:06:59,839 Speaker 1: or too much of my play. It's not a big 141 00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:02,160 Speaker 1: deal to me because I'm just doing it.
