Speaker 1: Many thank you so much for having me.

8
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:20,040
Speaker 2: All right, talk to me. Why'd you decide to come here?

9
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:22,720
Speaker 1: Man? I really felt like they wanted me, and I

10
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 1: felt like it was gonna be a good situation to

11
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:25,919
Speaker 1: come into. We have a lot of good players on

12
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 1: this roster, a lot of good talents, so I felt

13
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 1: like it was gonna be a good step for me

14
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:32,840
Speaker 1: to come over here and try to continue my career.

15
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 2: I really enjoyed watching you for four years with the Saints.

16
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:38,159
Speaker 2: Very aggressive defense in your face, especially with the way

17
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:40,559
Speaker 2: the cornerbacks play. How would you describe your game for

18
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:41,240
Speaker 2: Giants fence.

19
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:43,840
Speaker 1: I think someone was gonna get my hands on the ball,

20
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 1: probe myself on being able to get interceptions, stop receivers

21
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 1: from catching balls. You know, PBUs sure tackler, there is

22
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 1: a complete, a complete defensive back.

23
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 2: Ten pecks in your career twenty eight PBUs the last

24
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 2: two years, which when you're playing man is not easy,

25
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 2: right because a lot of times your eyes on the

26
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 2: wide receivers, not on the quarterback. So how do you

27
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 2: work that transition point right when you're looking at the

28
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,480
Speaker 2: wide receiver? How do you figure out the balls in

29
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 2: the air, and then how do you make sure you're

30
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 2: playing the man and the ball without committing that DEFENSI passengers.

31
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's it's so tough to try to

32
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 1: be able to get your head around and find the ball,

33
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 1: but you have to have to do it. You got

34
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:23,119
Speaker 1: to drill it in practice, find ways to incorporate whether

35
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 1: you're working a drill, just working on getting your head around,

36
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 1: or even just catching catching footballs out of the machine.

37
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:31,399
Speaker 1: You try to do it as much as possible. That way,

38
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 1: when you get into the game, you don't have to

39
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 1: think about doing it. It kind of just happens.

40
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 2: What's your preference, is the corner big play you want

41
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 2: to play off with eyes on the quarterback or do

42
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:39,679
Speaker 2: you want to play press man and beat the guy

43
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 2: with the line?

44
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: Just depends on the situation. More more often than not,

45
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 1: I'd probably rather just go down there press the receiver

46
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 1: up me and him and then make him go around me.

47
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 1: But again, time and time and distance, time and the

48
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 1: situation of the game dictate some of that things. But

49
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 1: all in all, being down there pressing receiver.

50
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 2: If you're lined up here, you gotta go over the

51
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 2: middle with at the score great.

52
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: How do we make that happen?

53
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:10,040

Speaker 2: on percentages. You guys played Man in New Orleans more

61
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 2: than we played Man here last year. But I know

62
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:35,920
Speaker 2: there was one play against I think Mike Evans was

63
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 2: the intended target against the Bucks where you were kind

64
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 2: of off the side. You write them coming across, you

65
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 2: jumped them, got the pick. So there are a lot

66
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 2: of plays on tape you're getting after the ball playing zone.

67
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 2: What are some of the key things for you when

68
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,639
Speaker 2: you're in that off position in zone? Watching the quarterback

69
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 2: to get that ball production and produce maybe some more takeaways.

70
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, one of the key the key things is knowing

71
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 1: exactly what technique you're playing, knowing where your help is.

72
00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 1: Do I have a safety over the top? Do I

73
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: have a samee the inside of me that dictates what

74
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 1: kind of levers you can play? Ultimately capitalizing when you

75
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: do get an opportunity to get your hands on the ball,

76
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: So working on finishing, having strong hands, attacking the ball,

77
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 1: all those things kind of help you that way. When

78
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 1: you get into that situation, you can make the play you.

79
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:16,920
Speaker 2: Like going against, like the big guys like the Drake London's,

80
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:18,919
Speaker 2: the Mike Evans, or do you like the smaller guys

81
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 2: that you can beat up a little bit of the line.

82
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 1: Honestly, I like all of them. I feel like I'm big.

83
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 1: I pose problems for receivers because I'm not a small guy.

84
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 1: But I also can run fast with them. So whether

85
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 1: it's a shifty guy and I have to use my feet,

86
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 1: or if it's a stronger guy and I have to

87
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 1: be able to play strong with them, I feel like

88
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: I can do all those things.

89
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 2: And but you also like to stop the run You're

90
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 2: a physical player on the edge. So what is it

91
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 2: about your run defense that you really take pride in?

92
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: I think really just being a complete football player. It's

93
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: easy to just be a cover corner someone that doesn't

94
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 1: necessarily tackle, but I think to be able to help

95
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: the team as much as possible, you got to be

96
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 1: able to make tackles in open space and that helps everybody.

97
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: Helps your team, helps the offense, helps everybody in general.

98
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 2: Have you a chance to peak any of the film

99
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 2: yet about with some of the young guys the room

100
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 2: and kind of what they bring.

101
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 1: To the field compliment Yeah, I haven't really gotten into

102
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: too much of it. Just got to call you know.

103
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:07,119
Speaker 2: Of course, I know how it goes.

104
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 1: It's quick, But I'm excited, man. I do know that

105
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 1: we got a lot of young guys on the team,

106
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: and guys that play hard and really talented. So I'm

107
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 1: excited to get to know them as as players and

108
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 1: off the field as well.

109
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 2: If you want to know how to manage two minutes

110
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 2: of crunch time football, I'm your man. But if you're

111
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 2: wondering about a long term financial plan, you should talk

112
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 2: to citizens. Hey, I can also talk long care. I'd

113
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,359
Speaker 2: like to learn about Amlia routine. Yes, I knew I

114
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 2: could help make sense of your money with citizens no

115

Speaker 2: time to watch the film, but you have time to

116
