1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:02,440
Speaker 1: If I think back to last season, the first game

2
00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:05,200
Speaker 1: on Monday Night when you caught touchdown pass. There are

3
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:07,560
Speaker 1: a lot of people in the organizations that was really

4
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:11,559
Speaker 1: the first time that they felt the stadium being empty,

5
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:15,960
Speaker 1: the silence. So with that said, tonight, even though it's

6
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 1: a practice, are you anxious eager to kind of hear

7
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:23,320
Speaker 1: that that roar if you catch a pass, even if

8
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 1: it's in individuals or or even team. Yeah, for sure.

9
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 1: I think we are kind of looking forward to getting

10
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 1: back out there and having the fans back, you know,

11
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:34,479
Speaker 1: just the energy that they bring, the presents they bring. Um,

12
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 1: it's definitely something that I'm looking forward to. At Hey, Darius,

13
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:50,160
Speaker 1: what's on the end of it, what's up from your experience? Um?

14
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 1: When you and Daniel were building your chemistry and connection

15
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 1: as teammates and as queerback and receiver, what things do

16
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 1: you think helped the most and finding a connection, you know,

17
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 1: so like he knows where you're going to be, he

18
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: can anticipate you, you can anticipate him, Like what what

19
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:11,399
Speaker 1: were the best ways to establish that? And when do

20
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 1: you think that kind of click for you guys? Um?

21
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 1: I think I think some of it is just kind

22
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 1: of natural. You know, everybody thinks differently, you know, I

23
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 1: think in some regards of the game, you know, we

24
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: just naturally kind of think of certain situations similarly. And

25
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 1: then to go along with that, um just communication. You know.

26
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: Obviously we practice a whole lot, so you know there's

27
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 1: you know, as first many times in the game as

28
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 1: it looks perfect, there's plenty of times of practice where

29
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 1: it doesn't. So um, you know, it's just a matter

30
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 1: of getting on the same page, you know, seeing you know,

31
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 1: what he likes, and uh, you know, just trying to

32
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: get on the same page. Darius, Are you better than

33
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: you were last year in the year before, and if so,

34
00:01:56,160 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 1: how are you better? What what attributes you have that

35
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 1: you think that you've you've taken to another level. I

36
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: definitely feel like I got better in this offseason, you know.

37
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 1: I feel like one of my big focuses off season

38
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 1: was my footwork, you know, being cleaning and out of brakes.

39
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: You know, I definitely think my brakes have improved, and

40
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: um just all around, you know, playing the game. Playing fast, um,

41
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: like say fast, but not in a hurry, so you know,

42
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:22,639
Speaker 1: playing you know a million miles far. But at the

43
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: same times, like your mind is moving in slow motion.

44
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,079
Speaker 1: You let the game come to you, take what they

45
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: give you. You know, I feel like that's another area

46
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 1: that I've you know, grown in. Chris Darius talk about

47
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: phone against the guy like a Dormy Jackson every day practice.

48
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 1: And do you feel that, um, the dbs are getting

49
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,519
Speaker 1: a little better to play on the white deceivers early

50
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 1: in his camp. Um, yeah, I mean the door has

51
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: been a great addition to our team. You know, it's

52
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: a bless me able to go against every day. He's

53
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: a fast guy, quick guy. Um, A good change up

54
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: from somebody like Brad you know, who's kind of has

55
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 1: a different style. So it's good to be able to

56
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,920
Speaker 1: see those two different styles of corners, but then both

57
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 1: be you know, high quality players. Hey, Darvis, can you

58
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 1: hear me? I can? Okay, Darius, I just wondering. Coach

59
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 1: always talks about how every year it's a new team,

60
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:24,839
Speaker 1: and you know, you don't ideally want to carry over

61
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 1: too much from the year before. That being said, you

62
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 1: know the offense, Um, what what's carrying over from the

63
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 1: offense and what do you feel the offense still needs

64
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 1: to kind of really build up moving forward to specifically

65
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 1: to the passing game. What was missing last year? Do

66
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: you think that that you think is going to be

67
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: there this year? UM. I think probably the biggest thing

68
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: with the offense is just the fact that all of

69
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 1: us are coming back and having a second second year

70
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 1: with the same system and um, you know, not trying

71
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: to come in and learn everything as well as you

72
00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 1: know play. So I think just having familiarity with the

73
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 1: guys that were here last year and um, you know,

74
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 1: kind of having a leg up coming into camp, going

75
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 1: into the season. I think, UM, we'll just helping itself

76
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 1: a lot because you know, obviously things in football happen fast.

77
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 1: You've got to communicate fast. So you know, the less

78
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 1: thinking you're doing, UM, you know, the better off you are.

79
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 1: Thank you, Tom Hey Darius. UM. Quick question this has

80
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,039
Speaker 1: probably been asked a couple of times already with you.

81
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:30,159
Speaker 1: I mean, since Kenny signed and Cadarius was drafted, do

82
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,919
Speaker 1: you find kind of feel like you're flying onto the

83
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,479
Speaker 1: radar with his team on the in the wide receiver

84
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:39,279
Speaker 1: corp Um. I don't you know, I don't really know

85
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 1: if I would say finally the radar per se, you know,

86
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 1: I just know, you know, obviously winning got Kenny because

87
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 1: he's a good player, and winning drafted Candarius because he's

88
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 1: a good player. And you know, I think you can

89
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,039
Speaker 1: never have too many good players on one team. So

90
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 1: you know, I'm happy to hear, you know, looking forward

91
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: to playing alongside him this season. Are you thinking though,

92
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 1: that I'm still a starter? I'm I'm just as good

93
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: as anybody. Um, I mean, you know, it really wouldn't

94
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:05,159
Speaker 1: matter who you're talking about, you know, in the NFL.

95
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 1: You know, I feel like I'm, you know, a really

96
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 1: good football player regardless, you know, no matter who he

97
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,479
Speaker 1: was discussing. So, um, you know, I think that's just

98
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 1: kind of a natural thing that everybody should feel about themselves.

99
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 1: But um, you know, ultimately it doesn't doesn't really affect

100
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: too much wins and losses on game day
