1 00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:06,080 Speaker 1: Good, good, bless you feel good about what you've been 2 00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:08,200 Speaker 1: able to do so hard this camp and kind of 3 00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:11,280 Speaker 1: position or set off to get it wrong on this team. 4 00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:13,440 Speaker 1: UM yeah, I feel pretty good. Um. You know, it's 5 00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:15,480 Speaker 1: always one day at a time. You know, that's always 6 00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:18,079 Speaker 1: my mindset, and you know, just trying to get better. 7 00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:20,800 Speaker 1: You stay, people haven't seen you and don't know what 8 00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:24,239 Speaker 1: you can do. I mean not people that know about 9 00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:28,800 Speaker 1: He said it's hard. Um, it could be not not hard, 10 00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:31,440 Speaker 1: but it could be sometimes frustrating. Like when I hear 11 00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:33,680 Speaker 1: somebody say they're surprised, I'm like, man, I've been in 12 00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:36,000 Speaker 1: the league for I mean, you know, number of years, 13 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,479 Speaker 1: so just look at some fam I guess, but I 14 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:42,080 Speaker 1: mean it's it is what it is. You just gotta 15 00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:44,800 Speaker 1: take the good with the bad. One of those guys 16 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:52,440 Speaker 1: that surprised coach. Yeah, yeah, no, Um, you know it's 17 00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:56,160 Speaker 1: always impressive to uh you know, I have a shot 18 00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:59,560 Speaker 1: off from your head coach especially, and you know, we 19 00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:02,160 Speaker 1: just gotta keep building this thing on. Where would you 20 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,640 Speaker 1: say your ball skills are at that they improved it? 21 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:06,480 Speaker 1: Does there anything you've done in the off season working 22 00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:10,080 Speaker 1: on so? Um, I never played defense until I got 23 00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 1: to college. So I'm I've always been the offensive player. 24 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,600 Speaker 1: So from my from my perspective, um, my ball skills, 25 00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,720 Speaker 1: I think I'm a receiver, but I had some coaches 26 00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:20,720 Speaker 1: to have me. If you want to go to the 27 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:24,000 Speaker 1: next league, then you want to play cornerback, so here 28 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:30,120 Speaker 1: I am at the same one. Yeah. So we actually 29 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:33,080 Speaker 1: had a conversation about that. He transitioned in college a 30 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,400 Speaker 1: little later than um, I think middle It was like 31 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 1: his second or three year, so he had a little 32 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 1: experience actually playing receiver at the next level. So um yeah, 33 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,520 Speaker 1: we actually did have a conversation about that and me 34 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 1: and him leading a team and picks right now here. Yeah, 35 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:54,760 Speaker 1: so I guess it the whole circle. Uh, we do. 36 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 1: But it's more it gets more personal, like once you start, Um, 37 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,920 Speaker 1: I say, for it's me and trade. We have about 38 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 1: the same number of interceptions, so me and him, I 39 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 1: have like this little context like all right, you get 40 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,280 Speaker 1: this if you get a U interception today and vice 41 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:17,120 Speaker 1: versus Uh, about five, I say, I think I'm up. 42 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 1: You know, yeah, yeah for sure. So what's on the 43 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,679 Speaker 1: line is like a dinner or um No, Like I said, 44 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 1: it's a day to day thing like if you get 45 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 1: one today, then uh, such and such gives you this 46 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 1: or vice versas. So um, nothing nothing too extreme, just 47 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 1: you know, a little competition, give you what shit and 48 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 1: disclose in discussion. How do you balance? Always have those fills, 49 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 1: making sure you're not overplaying something, you're creating a state 50 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:59,960 Speaker 1: because you're our place when you especially in my position, 51 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 1: you can never worry about making a mistake because, um, 52 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 1: like it's gonna happen. Like it's regardless of how hard 53 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:08,959 Speaker 1: I perfectly going to play like, you're gonna make a mistake. 54 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 1: So that can't be a thing that you worry about. 55 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 1: That a hinder you. Sorry, Sorry. We have a great 56 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:24,240 Speaker 1: receiving corps here top down. We have some some great 57 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,520 Speaker 1: guys that can start on any team. So it's been 58 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:29,920 Speaker 1: a heck of a competition so far, and I've been 59 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 1: enjoying it. What fun is hars what's his coaching style? 60 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 1: Which is his background? His background one hundred percent helps 61 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 1: because he knows exactly how it feels to actually be 62 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 1: out there. So some things to former coach who asks 63 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 1: you to do, uh, probably sounds good on the board, 64 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 1: like you know, the jard up, but actuality on the field, 65 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 1: it might not be the best thing. So his techniques 66 00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 1: that he coached, that he drill them in your head. 67 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 1: Were always talking about movements and um, yeah, he's been 68 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 1: great for me so far. Yes, I do. Um all 69 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 1: time Harris moment that I remember obviously probably like the 70 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 1: rest of the world. Um Seahawks. Uh what was that game? 71 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 1: It was the game before the wild card game he 72 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 1: picked off has back. Yeah, touchdown, game winner. So yeah, 73 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:33,479 Speaker 1: that's my all time yeah at the Cortons right Yeah. 74 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 1: Um no, I actually haven't had that conversation with him yet, 75 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,039 Speaker 1: but I guess we'll have it after I get a 76 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 1: game winning. Any difference to you, Um no, not really. 77 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,920 Speaker 1: I've played both since college. Um, Like I said, my 78 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:58,599 Speaker 1: transition from offense to defense actually helped me with that 79 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,919 Speaker 1: because I could look at at like the QB's perspective 80 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,800 Speaker 1: and also the receiver. So um no, I can't say 81 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 1: it's but it is different. It is different. But um 82 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 1: I'm comfortable. But people, you're a different player all today, 83 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 1: maybe before the year off Um no, I've uh, you 84 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 1: can look on YouTube. Actually I had like three interceptions 85 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 1: in one practice, so uh, it's nothing new, It's it's 86 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 1: all in you know. The opportunity that you get, um 87 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,599 Speaker 1: for your time slot. Like it's it's the NFL, Like 88 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:34,279 Speaker 1: it's always new people coming in. It's always somebody getting hurt. 89 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 1: So when your number is called, you just got to 90 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 1: make sure you compitalize, get your body. You knows your body, 91 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 1: Uh yeah, yes, um. You know, obviously a year off 92 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 1: of football, you know we contact sport, uh would definitely 93 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 1: help with your health. But mentally it's the it's the 94 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 1: main thing that I wanted to grow throughout that time. 95 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 1: I actually started reading books, which I never did before. 96 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:08,840 Speaker 1: But um, you know, we was all in the house, 97 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 1: you know, um, and I was in there with my son, 98 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 1: so I wasn't able to do much but training, you know, 99 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 1: just going home and watch my son. So um yeah, 100 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,360 Speaker 1: reading books, man, just expanding you know, my mind, expanding 101 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:28,160 Speaker 1: my vocabulary, know how to assert myself in this situation. Um, 102 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 1: the Tree of Life, the booking the comedics. Yes, it's 103 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:39,360 Speaker 1: my favorite one, The Tree of Life. Um, knowing how 104 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,720 Speaker 1: the universe is inside of us all that's the best 105 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 1: way I could put it. Of course, around the team 106 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 1: last year, but from the beginning of training, can't fill 107 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:54,600 Speaker 1: that Where do you feel like I? Um, we took 108 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:58,359 Speaker 1: that first that first step the first game. So um, 109 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,960 Speaker 1: just getting out placed out together. You know it's new 110 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 1: new team, new coach. So um, you know our DQ 111 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 1: really wanted to um harp on our playing style, our 112 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 1: playing style. You know that's um just effort, you know, 113 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 1: being a being an expert in in the scheme and 114 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 1: you know, just just going at it. And obviously the 115 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 1: ball is very important because of that high high Q 116 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 1: will get you a long way in the NFL regardless 117 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 1: of your position. Um, I know a few vets that 118 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 1: could barely run, but they still out there make it plays. 119 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 1: I know it's more mental. Twenty sixteen. Yeah, sure. Is 120 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,960 Speaker 1: there anybody that like the Parson's remind you of or 121 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:52,960 Speaker 1: is he kind of just a different guy? Uh? I 122 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 1: can't say he reminded me of anybody, because, um, I 123 00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 1: never met somebody that's two fifty or on the four three? 124 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 1: I mean have you I never No, I never heard 125 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 1: of that.

I mean how he moves, Yes, surprised me. 129 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 1: A lot it literally, his movement is like a dB, 130 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:39,960 Speaker 1: but he's at linebackers soon as he like knows his like, 131 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,800 Speaker 1: his strengths and weaknesses as a player, he gonna be 132 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:47,560 Speaker 1: very hard to to be at anything, I guess. Thank 133 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:49,600 Speaker 1: you appreciate going
