1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:06,720
Speaker 1: Mm hmmm. Doing good. How you doing?

2
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:10,680
Speaker 2: You meet you with your opposition coach today.

3
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:12,760
Speaker 3: They felt like they need you to play.

4
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:14,079
Speaker 4: Well, which he was like, they're they're counting on you

5
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:16,000
Speaker 4: to be a piece of defense. How would you assess

6
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:16,880
Speaker 4: your camp so far?

7
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 1: I feel like I've been doing well. Every day.

8
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:20,919
Speaker 2: I come in with a goal to just work on

9
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:23,239
Speaker 2: maybe one or two things that just get better at.

10
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 2: My main thing is just trying to be a consistent

11
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 2: day in the day out.

12
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 4: We talk about this defense so far.

13
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 1: How I love the defense.

14
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:36,520
Speaker 2: It reminds me of some defenses that I've done well

15
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:37,600
Speaker 2: in in the past.

16
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:38,599
Speaker 1: So I'm excited about that.

17
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:42,159
Speaker 2: I feel like it just allows me to play to

18
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 2: my athletic ability, you know, and the coaches trust me to,

19
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:47,879
Speaker 2: you know, play the techniques the right way. So I

20
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:48,840
Speaker 2: really appreciate that.

21
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:52,479
Speaker 4: But this is one of the deepest spirits of cornerbacks

22
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 4: and he's worked with in training camp. What kind of

23
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 4: competition he faced from corndows.

24
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 1: I feel like everyone just goes out there and compet

25
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 1: every day.

26
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 2: I feel like we're just going out there and it's

27
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:05,759
Speaker 2: not really just focused on like competing with each other.

28
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 2: It's just going out there and just we're focused on

29
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 2: we all focused on trying to win.

30
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 1: We're just trying to win.

31
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 2: So that's just gonna be the bring the best out

32
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 2: of all of us.

33
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,039
Speaker 4: One or two things to work on each practice. How

34
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 4: do you do that?

35
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 2: Most of the time, it's just after the practice from

36
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 2: the day before. I just figure out I watched the film,

37
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 2: figure out what things I need to work on it

38
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 2: to get better at, and then that's usually what I

39
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 2: go into the next day and work on to make

40
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 2: sure that I'm nipping on things in the butt.

41
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 4: Comfortable.

42
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 2: I feel real comfortable playing press too. I mean, anyone

43
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 2: that knows me knows that's all I've done in my life.

44
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 2: I mean, when I went to the University of Florida,

45
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 2: I've probably pressed any every snap that I played out there.

46
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 1: So I do that pretty well.

47
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 2: And when I got to the NFL, I realized as

48
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 2: I played more snaps and I got older, that you know,

49
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 2: playing off, you know, provides you with different opportunities to

50
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 2: re routes and maybe make plays on the ball. So

51
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,399
Speaker 2: I like to be able to differentiate when I want

52
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,800
Speaker 2: to press and when I want to play off. And uh,

53
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 2: my second year in the league actually I got better

54
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,080
Speaker 2: with my off coverage because I wasn't always good at

55
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 2: it because all I did was press.

56
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:20,959
Speaker 1: So once I started getting better at it, I got.

57
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 2: More comfortable, and I just I feel comfortable there, just

58
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 2: as comfortable as pressing now. So I like to be

59
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 2: able to keep that in my bag and switch it

60
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 2: up whenever I need to and stuff like that. Yeah,

61
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 2: it's a freedom within the defense, and I really appreciate

62
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 2: the aspect of the defense as well. Sometimes it's really

63
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 2: it's really a chess mess with your quarterback. I feel

64
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 2: like when I'm out there, I'm competing with the quarterback

65
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 2: more so than the receiver because I feel like I

66
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 2: want to be playing catch with the quarterback, and you know,

67
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,359
Speaker 2: he's reading, he's reading the safety, he's reading the quarter

68
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,679
Speaker 2: of the corner. So I got to do something every

69
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 2: now and then throw his brain out because usually the

70
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 2: quarterbacks are pretty smart.

71
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 1: So it's really a game with the quarterback. A little

72
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:10,839
Speaker 1: bit late.

73
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 3: But look the Thursday and you're the start to look

74
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 3: up in practice, you're out there.

75
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 4: At the start most of the time.

76
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 3: Here, how do you view this opportunity for you to show.

77
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 2: What I feel like, it's a it's a huge opportunity,

78
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 2: and I take it very serious. Every time I step

79
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 2: on the field, I'm just trying to display the talents

80
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:33,920
Speaker 2: that God gave me and just show them that, you know,

81
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 2: I'm a guy that's played a lot of snaps and

82
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 2: and I'm a guy that's real solid in the NFL,

83
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 2: and I can compete with anybody that steps on the

84
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 2: field with.

85
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 4: Me experience, but gave you a little bit of reset.

86
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: Uh, yeah, definitely.

87
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 2: And I feel like I feel like this is like

88
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 2: a like a real start to my real NFL journey.

89
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 2: I feel like I'm finally on the team that takes

90
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 2: things seriously, you know, inside the building, off the field,

91
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 2: and I feel like I only feel like I'm really

92
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 2: coming to work day in and day out, like it's

93
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 2: real serious work. And I really appreciate the aspect because

94
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 2: I mean, I am in the NFL, I'm professional, and

95
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 2: now I really feel like it.

96
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 4: Your hands specifically during one practice. Is that mean does

97
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 4: he give tasks?

98
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, Coach Pellegrino, he's real hands on and I appreciate that. Uh.

99
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 2: He takes his job super serious and he's always trying

100
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 2: to find ways to help us with any little thing

101
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 2: to get better on the field, and I mean, we're

102
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 2: all blessed to have a coach.

103
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 1: That really is like hands on like that and really

104
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 1: cares this much.

105
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:39,360
Speaker 4: Obviously, there's been some good corners here.

106
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 2: If you had a chance to talk to those guys,

107
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,159
Speaker 2: I haven't talked to those guys. I honestly I would

108
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 2: love to talk to those guys like Gilly and all

109
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 2: of them. But I definitely watched the film, and I

110
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 2: take a lot of things from from seeing the film

111
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:52,919
Speaker 2: and seeing how they were able to succeed in this,

112
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 2: in this scheme and on this team.

113
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,119
Speaker 4: When you're at your best, what do you what would

114
00:04:59,120 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 4: you say.

115
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 2: You someone that's more athletic than anybody that's gonna be

116
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 2: on that field, and someone who's attention to detail is

117
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 2: very high. I feel like that's something that I pride

118
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 2: myself in. I'm not someone who's gonna be having mental

119
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 2: mistakes and stuff like that. I'm pretty locked in on

120
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 2: the details when I'm out there, and I feel like

121
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:21,840
Speaker 2: that that makes the big difference. At playing such a

122
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:22,719
Speaker 2: hard position.

123
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 3: Good you are How important is that you sometimes you

124
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 3: don't get mixed up.

125
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 2: It's definitely important, especially as you know the game is

126
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,599
Speaker 2: getting harder. You know, they're trying to find anyway to

127
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 2: get more points on the board and flag DB's But

128
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 2: I still think that's something that's really important to bring

129
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,919
Speaker 2: to the game because receivers don't like that type of stuff,

130
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,039
Speaker 2: so it's good to just mix that up and you know,

131
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 2: give them problems on we're out there with physicality.

132
00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 1: Thank you guys, Thanks welcome, Thank you guys. Thank you guys.

133
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:02,039
Speaker 4: Makes her great. Pat
