14
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:45,839
Speaker 1: we appreciate the time, thanks for being with us doing good.

15
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 1: Let's start with this. When the season ended last year,

16
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:51,560
Speaker 1: did you think you were gonna leave Carolina when you

17
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 1: hit free agency at the end of the season. To

18
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,279
Speaker 1: be honest with you, did you have any priorities in

19
00:00:57,360 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 1: terms of what you're looking for in free agency? As

20
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 1: civic team or situation. I would consider anybody was willing

21
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 1: to give me an opportunity that wanted me, and I

22
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 1: was really willing to say me what I thought I

23
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:10,559
Speaker 1: was worth. Why did you pick the Giants? The city

24
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,399
Speaker 1: of New York and what it has awful endless opportunities

25
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 1: office seal Also, um, you know, I know what type

26
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 1: of organization. Um. Mr Ghettomans trying to He's trying to

27
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 1: put together and with the job, and I wanted to

28
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 1: be a part of that. You know, maybe with some

29
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:26,680
Speaker 1: of the players on the team, they had nothing but

30
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 1: good things to say about it and looking forward to it.

31
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,479
Speaker 1: How important was it that Dave Gettlman was the general

32
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 1: manager for the Giants? For me, I don't feel like

33
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 1: he was a big per factor who the who necessarily

34
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: the gym was, but the fact that I knew him, um,

35
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 1: I'm familiar with him. It kind of gave me a

36
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 1: sense of a confort going over there. Did he reach

37
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: out directly to you know, he didn't reach out to me.

38
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 1: He reached out to my agents. He talked about the

39
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 1: importance of culture with Dave Gentleman and what he's trying

40
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: to build here in the locker room, can you just

41
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: talk about and maybe describe what you think that culture

42
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 1: is and why that's so important to you. Uh. The

43
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 1: culture that I think it is just having good care

44
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 1: of to guys in there, Uh that can play ball.

45
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: You know, that's gonna be good for the city on

46
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:19,079
Speaker 1: and off the shiel And I feel like you're the

47
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 1: chemistry is a lot better on the field. Um, You're

48
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 1: able to communicate a lot better on the field and

49
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 1: also off the field. You know, it's not to me

50
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,919
Speaker 1: the umunds that were heads are gonna clash and people

51
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 1: are gonna step on other people's So I feel like

52
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: the chemistry is a lot better. There was the free

53
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 1: agency process, odd given the situation with the coronavirus and

54
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 1: the facilities not being open and you having to do

55
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:45,519
Speaker 1: everything over the phone and on remote. For me, the

56
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:50,080
Speaker 1: crasy the fat or deal with one kind of quick

57
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 1: and kind of smooth. Um. So I don't think no

58
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: one was. I don't think they were gonna invite me

59
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: up there anyways. I think they just want to hers

60
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 1: on me before you know, they might lose out on

61
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: something else or something else might come up. You know,

62
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 1: how much we're able to talk to the Giants coaches,

63
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 1: so like after um, it was a fision that I

64
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 1: was tigning with the team. You know, they they were

65
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: all the coaches pretty much Restop for the most part,

66
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 1: but not all of them, but a band majority of them.

67
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 1: Do you know anybody on the team currently, Yes, sir,

68
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 1: David Mayo who played together in Carolina, Shawn Gorden who

69
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,639
Speaker 1: played together in Carolina. And I know if Chad plays

70
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 1: because he's from Birmingham and we worked out together in offseason. Now,

71
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: just reading James about you apparently, and tell me if

72
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: I'm wrong that that you're a little bit of a

73
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:34,639
Speaker 1: quieter guy. So you're heading into a very young defensive

74
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 1: backs in the cornerback room. How comfortable are you as

75
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 1: a guy that can kind of take a leadership role

76
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 1: in that group? Ah, yes, sir. I mean I feel

77
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 1: like leaderships can come in different forms. You know, doesn't

78
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 1: always have to be a vocal leader. You know, it

79
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: can be a person that leads by their actions. Um.

80
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: And I'm also like, I'm like a one on one

81
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: type of guy, so I like to I'm talking to

82
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 1: a players trying to coach him up. I like to

83
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 1: put them to the side. I don't want to do

84
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 1: it like in a group saying trying to call someone

85
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: out or nothing like that. So I'm over personal guy.

86
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: I mean, that's what I'm here for. That's what I

87
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: feel like I was brought in for to bring my

88
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 1: knowledge in and that's what I'm gonna do. You know,

89
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna try to correct as many rounds as I

90
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: as I see. Now. This year you covered some of

91
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 1: the top really big wide receivers in football, from Michael

92
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 1: Thomas to Mike Evans to Julio Jones to DeAndre Hopkins.

93
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,719
Speaker 1: What are some of the fundamentals in guarding all of them?

94
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 1: And do you change the way you guard each one

95
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: based on what each guy does specifically in their skill sets? Um,

96
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 1: I try to keep my technique and my fundamentals the same,

97
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 1: no matter again. But as far as how I apply

98
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 1: those fundamentals and techniques, it might change based upon the receiver.

99
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,840
Speaker 1: So yes, yes, and no to that tony question, how

100
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: much tape do you watch leading into a game against

101
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 1: players like that? I don't really have, Like A I

102
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:52,239
Speaker 1: couldn't give you a number, I mean hours out watched,

103
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 1: but I at least started to vote least an hour,

104
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 1: hour and a half a day to Watchington down outside

105
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 1: of the locker room during the season. Do you relish

106
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 1: the challenge against those receivers, both physically and mentally? For sure?

107
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 1: You know, Um, it's an honor for like coaches and

108
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 1: coaches the players to ask me to go against the

109
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 1: top receiver because it just says that they have a

110
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 1: respect for my game and have the ultimate confidence in

111
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:19,719
Speaker 1: myself and my ability. So how much trash talk is

112
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 1: there between you guys? I might say something back if

113
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:23,279
Speaker 1: you said something to me, But for the most part,

114
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 1: and I passed four years, we haven't done too much

115
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,159
Speaker 1: trash talking. So you played in Carolina, you're from Alabama.

116
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on playing upr on the big

117
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 1: stage in New York City. I'm looking forward to it.

118
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: You know, it's the biggest city, a lot more opportunities.

119
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 1: Like I've said, Um, I really want to go to

120
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:41,160
Speaker 1: a basketball game in Madison Square Garden. Um, I just

121
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: want to, you know, go around and you know, in

122
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 1: hell the history of New York and everything that comes

123
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,039
Speaker 1: with it. Have you been to New York match? I

124
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 1: came up there last off season for interview. I did,

125
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 1: but I was a different couple of days, I'd have

126
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:00,080
Speaker 1: been too much time, I said, to be honest with you,

127
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:02,279
Speaker 1: So is it a real big deal? You know you

128
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 1: came at a Stanford which obviously not a big football factory.

129
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:09,159
Speaker 1: Uh is it a huge deal on campus? You know,

130
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: you excelling the way you have in the league and

131
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,840
Speaker 1: now getting a chance to land this big free agent contract.

132
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,039
Speaker 1: Oh yes, I'm very proud Um. And I felt which

133
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,159
Speaker 1: which were changing their culture around? You know this past

134
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: all season we had three guys including myself. Uh, they

135
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:27,480
Speaker 1: got quote unquote big contracts, you know, me, Nick Williams,

136
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: Michael Pierce, and then before then we had to class guitar.

137
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 1: So I felt out were turning that turning that wave around,

138
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,160
Speaker 1: and I we're trying to start a nutrient for Sanford.

139
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 1: I had a chance to go back, James, and uh,

140
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 1: look at some of your tape this year, and I

141
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,359
Speaker 1: thought they used you in a real variety of ways.

142
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 1: I saw press man, I saw off man, I saw

143
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,599
Speaker 1: a cover three, I saw a zone. Are you more

144
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: comfortable do you enjoy a specific type of coverage? Not necessarily.

145
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: I think when I first got into the league, I

146
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 1: prefer to just press. But as time went over, you know,

147
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:00,480
Speaker 1: what time went on. I tried to get better in

148
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 1: my office and my office coverage, you know, play better

149
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: within zones, and I read rock concepts and uh try

150
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 1: to anticipate routes before they happened. And I think I

151
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 1: really improved on that. And actually it's funny. We actually

152
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 1: just put an article up on giants dot com. There

153
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 1: was a play we used in the article against the

154
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 1: Rams this year, or I think they ran play action

155
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 1: and and Goff ran a little bit of a naked

156
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 1: boot to his right, and you're covering Robert Woods, and

157
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 1: he fakes an inside move like he's going to the post,

158
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 1: which would have been obviously away from where Golf is

159
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 1: rolling out. And I was really impressed. You anticipated, because

160
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 1: of where Golf was moving, that he was not going

161
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 1: to run a post. Your singles high safety help. He

162
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 1: comes back to the outside, but you are moving towards

163
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 1: that sideline before Woods even made that cut. How important

164
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 1: is that preparation and that anticipation in your game when

165
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 1: you're playing that off zone defense. I'm very important, you know,

166
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,559
Speaker 1: I mean at this level, you know everyone's getting getting paid.

167
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 1: You know, you know there's a lead guys on the

168
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 1: other side of the ball, and everyone's gonna be around

169
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 1: the same speed, around the same quickness. There's gotta be

170
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 1: ways week in order if you may plays the gotta ways,

171
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 1: you'd be able to jump ahead of the next guy

172
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 1: and watch the film and doing a film studies goout

173
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 1: the week that allows me to do that when you're

174
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 1: going against these big wide receivers. What are some of

175
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 1: the key fundamentals you mentioned that that you like to

176
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 1: make sure you performed down and down out to limit

177
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 1: some of these guys when you have to cover the

178
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 1: man on man and travel with them across the field.

179
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 1: With the bigger guys, you's gotta make sure you'd be

180
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 1: ready for that physical battle, especially at the line of scrimmage.

181
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 1: You know they're gonna be physical at the line, like

182
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 1: Mike Evans, Michael Thomas, WHOI You gotta bring strength behind

183
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 1: behind your jet, behind your jams at the line of scrimmage,

184
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 1: and I'll see you gotta beople to twitch it up

185
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 1: and get the lead. Guys because you keep doing the

186
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 1: same thing over and over, they're gonna figure you out

187
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,559
Speaker 1: and they're gonna have a plan for you. Just changing

188
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 1: up the game from time to time. Do you enjoy

189
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 1: playing press against those bigger guys, or do you like

190
00:08:57,600 --> 00:08:59,080
Speaker 1: mixing and some of that off stuff where you can

191
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 1: use some of those into some Asian skills. Um. I

192
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 1: like mixing it up, you know, and I'm at times,

193
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes we just say shot up, man, and

194
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 1: we just try to get after them and try to

195
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 1: send send the dogs after them so they can't get set.

196
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 1: I'm joy too as well, because I put fresture on

197
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,080
Speaker 1: the quarterback and usually they make bad mistakes when you

198
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 1: put fresh on them. Out of curiosity, when you came

199
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 1: into the league, where were you mostly a left corner back,

200
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 1: because I know that's kind of like your default spot.

201
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 1: But then you would travel with some of these top

202
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: wide receivers to the right side. Was that a big

203
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:30,599
Speaker 1: adjustment to you having to travel on different sides of

204
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 1: the field or is that something you've always done And

205
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 1: I did that in college, so that wasn't a big

206
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 1: deal for me for a quarterback. What are the challenges

207
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 1: to have to maybe switch up some of that technique

208
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 1: playing both left and right side? Um? I mean, of course,

209
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,200
Speaker 1: if you stay, if you play one side most of

210
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 1: the time, you get a customer to be on that side.

211
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 1: So when you go to the opposite side. You've become

212
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 1: uncomfortable at times and um, just like with anything, you

213
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 1: get repetition at one thing and you and somebody asked

214
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 1: you to switch it up, it's gonna be hard for

215
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:58,960
Speaker 1: you to do. I think you're just building a consistently

216
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 1: doing practice traveling both side. I think that helps out

217
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 1: with it. Where do you think you've improved the most

218
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:07,560
Speaker 1: since you've walked into your first NFL facility four years ago?

219
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: I would say anticipating route and just planning to my hip.

220
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:14,559
Speaker 1: You mentioned you talked to the Giants coaches a little bit.

221
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 1: Have they given you any sort of clue in terms of,

222
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 1: you know, how they want to use her in their schemes?

223
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 1: Are you gonna be in a lot of press man,

224
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 1: any idea of what we should expect when you guys? Finally,

225
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 1: at some point do you get on the field. Uh? No,

226
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,440
Speaker 1: so we haven't talked about that. I think the main

227
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 1: thing is just making sure everyone's safe and sound. Um,

228
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 1: making sure everyone has what they need. That's pretty much

229
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:36,439
Speaker 1: what they've been doing. They were stopped to me to

230
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 1: make sure you know. I was talked up on food.

231
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,559
Speaker 1: My family was good, and they say we're kind of

232
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 1: football stuff. Later we got figured out what was going

233
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,560
Speaker 1: on with this coronavirus. Yeah, absolutely, How have you managed

234
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 1: to kind of do your thing and and stay in

235
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 1: shape and and get your workouts in while everyone's kind

236
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:56,079
Speaker 1: of doing their slow quarantine isolation thing. What a good

237
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 1: thing about right now is that far it was still

238
00:10:57,840 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 1: far word from the season, So right now you don't

239
00:10:59,920 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 1: have to work out too hard. You just need to

240
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 1: stay in shape and make sure you keep your weight

241
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 1: down for the most part. Um, So I've been doing

242
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 1: little things here and there and just trying to keep

243
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 1: my social distance, um, away from other people and to

244
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 1: grant high rock care. You know. Yeah, absolutely, you had

245
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 1: to move in and start your rookie year. How much

246
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,560
Speaker 1: do you think, James, that kind of getting thrown into

247
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,319
Speaker 1: the deep end of the pool right away helped accelerate

248
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:28,680
Speaker 1: your growth coming out of a smaller program in college. Um,

249
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:30,959
Speaker 1: I mean I had to learn things quickly, and um

250
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 1: I had to be able to I had to face

251
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 1: diversity and be able to like fight through it. You know,

252
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:38,959
Speaker 1: going against top guys in the league we can a

253
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,320
Speaker 1: week out and being messed up against them, you learned

254
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:44,680
Speaker 1: a lot about yourself learn a lot about football, and

255
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 1: I added each and you add something to the game

256
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 1: each and every year, and I feel like I did that.

257
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:51,200
Speaker 1: That's why I'm at this position right now. And now

258
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:54,079
Speaker 1: you're heading into the NFC East. What's your impression of

259
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 1: the division having played against it over the last four years. Yeah,

260
00:11:57,720 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 1: I think it's a strong division. I don't think people

261
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 1: give it enough credit. You have a strong offensive, you

262
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 1: got strong weapons over there with the Cowboys. Um, the

263
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 1: red Skins added Terry McLaren. I think that's how you

264
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 1: say his last year and I played against him last year.

265
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 1: He's he's a good receiver. You know he's gonna make

266
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,200
Speaker 1: a name for himself. And of course the Eagles, you

267
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 1: know they have their strong team. Um, I sean Jeffrey's

268
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 1: over they got Carson Wentz. Carson went to a great quarterback.

269
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 1: I saw him. I play against him as the Senior Bowl.

270
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,560
Speaker 1: I know what kind of army asked I guess? Final

271
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 1: question then, Uh, James, for you is if you describe

272
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,559
Speaker 1: yourself and your game and the type of person you are.

273
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:40,560
Speaker 1: Two giant fans, what should they expect from James Bradberry

274
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 1: UM versatile and uh physicality you know, come up in

275
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 1: the run sports, help out with the run, uh press

276
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 1: plays got the wine um and then if the coaches

277
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 1: want to play off covers and play zone, I can

278
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 1: play zone as well. You know, I'm made to read

279
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 1: route before reroute concepts and whatnot. Good stuff, James, I

280
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 1: really appreciate the time man. Best of luck, stay safe,

281
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 1: stay healthy, and hopefully we'll see up here sooner than later.
