16
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:43,159

00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 1: already kind of got the field for the area and

19
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:50,800

20
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 1: You're very familiar with the Giants obviously, Why do you

21
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 1: think it's such a good fit for you? You You know,

22
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 1: I'm just excited to be plugged in here and do

23
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 1: what I can do to help this organization. When ball games, man,

24
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 1: I'm excited. Didn't make plays, you know, be aggressive and

25
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 1: uh you know, do whatever course best wants me to do.

26
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:07,399
Speaker 1: You were asked to do a lot of different stuff

27
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 1: in Cleveland. I looked at some of the analytics. Your

28
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,680
Speaker 1: first year, you played deep free safety the majority of

29
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 1: the time. Right last year they had you a corner

30
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 1: on the line, in the slot, in the box. Where

31
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,679
Speaker 1: do you think you're most comfortable right now? Um, you know,

32
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 1: I'm definitely comortable everywhere. You know. I think that year

33
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 1: of my rookie year, you know, I think that did

34
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 1: more good than bad for me. Just seeing the game

35
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,399
Speaker 1: from afar, seeing how routes develop. What the old line

36
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:32,320
Speaker 1: is trying to due is a pin pull or they

37
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,479
Speaker 1: doubling and trying to get up to the second level. Um,

38
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: you know, just taking angles, you know, because at this level,

39
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 1: you know, athleticism doesn't you know when when? For you

40
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,759
Speaker 1: every time? But being back there definitely was foreign. But

41
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: now that I got that under my belt Man, it

42
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 1: definitely was beneficial. You mentioned in college you played closer

43
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage. What do you think your biggest

44
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 1: strengths are right now as a player you mentioned something

Speaker 1: you wanted to work on. What do you think your

46
