Speaker 2: free agents.

Speaker 2: especially for you because it's a little different for you

13
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:27,319
Speaker 2: because you spent nine years in New England your entire career.

14
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 2: Now you're in year ten and you decided to make

15
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 2: a move come out here to the DMV Man, what

16
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 2: goes into that decision making?

17
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, first off, I loved my time in New England.

18
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 4: It was great to be there, but it's just a

19
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 4: point in my career where I need a change. I

20
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 4: thought change was good, you know, they were changing over

21
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 4: as well, and I got to sit back and watch,

22
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:47,839
Speaker 4: you know, what Washington was doing, you know, last year

23
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,199
Speaker 4: and seeing what they were building, and I wanted to

24
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:50,879
Speaker 4: be a part of it.

25
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:53,319
Speaker 2: Can you elaborate a little more on that when you're

26
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 2: watching from the outside, Because we've had Will Harris Coon.

27
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 1: We've had a couple other.

28
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 2: Friedges come and talk about the vibes y'all are getting

29
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 2: from outside the building beforey' all even got here, speak

30
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 2: on that and what really stood.

31
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 1: Out to you.

32
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean when you watch a team and you

33
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 4: see the chemistry that guys have, how they play together,

34
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 4: it stands out. And then just having young players who

35
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 4: are balling, the veterans guys who are still you know,

36
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:14,479
Speaker 4: putting up numbers and doing well.

37
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:17,199
Speaker 3: It's just a chemistry. And it's as a player.

38
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 4: It's easy to see teams that you you're either competing

39
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:21,679
Speaker 4: against or you just watching. You see the energy that

40
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:23,759
Speaker 4: they have and you're like, oh, that's a good team.

41
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 4: You know, they together like it'd be a hard team

42
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 4: to beat. And so just sitting back and watching them,

43
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 4: like after the over game of a game, just how

44
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,680
Speaker 4: they got better, you know, defense, offenses, everybody was just

45
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:34,559
Speaker 4: balling and was clicking.

46
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 3: It was a beautiful thing to watch. You know.

47
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 4: I was jealous a little bit, I'll say, and I

48
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 4: was like, damn, why they can't be us? And now

49
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 4: we got we got a quarterback, like a young quarterback.

50
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 4: I can't beat us? Man, But no man, Yeah, they

51
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 4: were putting it together and just winning games, and so

52
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 4: it was exciting to.

53
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 2: Watch a lot of that magic had to do with

54
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 2: our head coach, Dad Quick, which I'm sure you guys

55
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 2: have had some conversation.

56
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: Man, what has it been.

57
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 2: Like speaking to Dan Quinn and how do you feel

58
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 2: you can help elevate what he's already doing there?

59
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, speaking of coach, and if I felt like I

60
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 4: wasn't here to play football, I felt like he was

61
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 4: just coming here to be a man or something, just

62
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 4: just you know, counseling or something. He was just No,

63
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 4: his energy is contagious. You can tell he cares. He

64
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 4: can tell he cares about his players, and that's just

65
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:15,399
Speaker 4: the energy I got, you know, from being in here.

66
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 3: The staff support him, supports him, and he just feel

67
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 3: like he can get the best out of everybody he

68
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 3: talks to.

69
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 2: And you're coming in again with Super Bowl experience, that

70
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 2: is that's a really big deal here man, because you're

71
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 2: coming into a secondary room that's very very young. How

72
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 2: do you feel you can impact these young guys and

73
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 2: teach them how to play winning football?

74
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 1: Because I know that Super Bowl level of football is

75
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: very different than regular seasons.

76
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, Yeah, it's the journey honestly, you know, going to

77
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 4: Steve with Super Bowl as you realize that you don't win,

78
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:45,919
Speaker 4: you don't win in the offseason.

79
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:46,920
Speaker 3: But that's a big part of it.

80
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 4: And so as soon as you start in the off season,

81
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 4: just that journey of you know, making sure you're.

82
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 3: Mentally prepared, physically prepared, getting.

83
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 4: In the training camp, and just every game having to

84
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 4: learn something from it, whether it's a win or a loss,

85
00:02:57,760 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 4: just being able to learn something from it and improve.

86
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 4: And that's what it takes. Just constant improvement. You know,

87
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 4: what you're doing we want is not going to be

88
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 4: good enough. You know we sixteen week seventeen, and as

89
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 4: you get into the playoffs and so just constantly trying

90
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 4: to improve. You know, get into the end of the season,

91
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 4: it gets tough, you know, on your body, on your

92
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 4: mental and that's when winners, you know, have to come out.

93
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 4: You have to find a way to dig deep and

94
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 4: find something there as you get towards the end of the.

95
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:22,920
Speaker 2: Season and use the word improve And it's great to

96
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:24,639
Speaker 2: hear that from a veteran like you, because again you're

97
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 2: in year ten, but you're still thinking of ways to.

98
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 1: Improve and being in the league for so long.

99
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 2: I know you have to be very familiar with Joe

100
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 2: with Junior and his ability to really be like that

101
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 2: secondary whisperer. How do you think Joe with Junior can

102
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 2: help you improve and take your game to the next level.

103
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 4: I feel like he's going to give me a different perspective,

104
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 4: you know, being in a place for so long, in

105
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 4: one place, I only see the game, you know, one way,

106
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 4: and so being with a coach who's had a lot

107
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 4: of experience, a lot of success, I think he'll allow

108
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 4: me to see the game from a different perspective, you know,

109
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 4: add some things to my game that he may see that, hey,

110
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 4: you don't do this well, that you don't do you know, X,

111
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 4: Y and z.

112
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 3: Just to just get another perspective. I think he can

113
00:03:58,000 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 3: bring that for me.

114
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 2: He talked about that young quarterback. You're like, we got

115
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 2: a young quarterback, why can't we do that too?

116
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: Well?

117
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 2: Are young quarterback a little different? We got Jaden Daniels.

118
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 2: You'll get to practically, we get to be around him.

119
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 2: But I'm sure you're very familiar with his Gabe, just

120
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 2: being somebody that is the secondary that has to study

121
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 2: all quarterbacks. Man, how excited you to be able to

122
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,840
Speaker 2: suit up with a guy like that and also get

123
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 2: to go against him a little bit in training camp

124
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 2: and then practices. Man, I know, I've know that kind

125
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 2: of turn you up a little bit.

126
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,600
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, I mean the competitive part that'll be fun,

127
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 4: you know, to compete with him at practice and training camp.

128
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,159
Speaker 4: But just watching his growth and seeing the player that

129
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 4: he was last year, the poise he played with. I

130
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,479
Speaker 4: mean you could see it, you know from the TV copy,

131
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 4: just watching him not get flustered, you know, going through

132
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:41,239
Speaker 4: his progressions and as a as a defensive back. Honestly,

133
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,239
Speaker 4: when I see a young quarterback, I laugh.

134
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 1: You know.

135
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 4: Most of the times that's oool, right, Yeah, you know

136
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 4: he's going to be yancy, he's going to try to

137
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 4: get the ball out when it's not there, he'll tuck

138
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 4: and run. But when you turn on the tape and

139
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 4: you see a young quarterback going through progressions, you're like,

140
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:57,159
Speaker 4: oh snap, like it's something different, and then slinging the

141
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 4: ball around everywhere and then at the same time can run.

142
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 3: That's that's just dangerous.

143
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 2: And when people when we pick you up, everybody's like, Okay,

144
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 2: where's he gonna play.

145
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 1: It's gonna be on the outside, it's gonna be in

146
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 1: the slot.

147
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 2: And I'm sure that a lot of that has to

148
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:10,360
Speaker 2: do with the coaching and what they decide. Where are

149
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 2: you most comfortable lining up on that field because you've

150
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:12,840
Speaker 2: done it all.

151
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, So a lot of people have asked me that,

152
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:16,159
Speaker 4: and I just said, I love to play football like

153
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,280
Speaker 4: I'm a football player. Anywhere I signed, I signed as

154
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 4: a football player. So whether it's inside, outside safety, you know,

155
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 4: I like to be versatile so that you know, any week,

156
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:26,280
Speaker 4: you know, a coach can feel comfortable.

157
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 3: Put me anywhere or wherever the team needs me. I

158
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:28,880
