00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:11,440
Speaker 1: Um they're paying attention to details. Um, they're taking the

4
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 1: notes down and um they're just ready to play. Are

00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:17,800
Speaker 1: you enjoying? Are you enjoying it? I mean? Do you

6
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 1: kind of have to be on your piece? And Q's

7
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 1: even more to make sure you know what to tell them.

8
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 1: I I mean, I just go out and ball, you know,

9
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:27,320
Speaker 1: you know, UM, let them pick my brain when they

10
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 1: want to. And if I see them messing up, nick,

11
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 1: pick him up a little bit. So other than that, man,

12
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:35,599
Speaker 1: they seem like they're ready to me and I could

13
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 1: just leave by example. You feel like you there's any

14
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 1: part of it. Uh, this kind of do roles as

15
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 1: with all these other guys around you, that you need

16
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 1: to maybe assert yourself a little bit more rather than

17
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 1: just wait for him to ask you. Of course, UM,

18
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:49,879
Speaker 1: you gotta in search yourself more. UM, you know, you

19
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 1: never know what they're thinking of young guys. So the

20
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 1: more you can talk to him and conversate with them

21
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 1: just about football, um, not only football life on and

22
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 1: off the field. Just show them how to be a pro.

23
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 1: And you're gonna be pretty good. You're you're kind of

24
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: embracing that. You know what part of that you enjoyed

25
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 1: hearing just being around him, just having him come up

26
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 1: to me, you know, having conversations about football. UM, I

27
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 1: told him, I tell him every day, you know, just

28
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 1: pay attention to details, make sure you take the right notes,

29
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 1: and just stay focused. You never been asked, but I

30
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 1: always played this role when I was at Florida, um

31
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 1: at that one the national championship. When I got to

32
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,399
Speaker 1: North Alabama, did the same thing. So it's it isn't new.

33
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 1: It just I'm not the guy that like to talk.

34
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 1: I like to play football. And if you can't follow

35
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 1: a leader that's like to play football, then it's the

36
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 1: wrong problem. You got a problem. We'll just take you're

37
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 1: sharing yourself far on the field. What is it you

38
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: see player as a player. You can tell that you're smart. Um.

39
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 1: I can tell that he's been studying film. UM. I

40
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 1: can tell that he's, you know, taking leadership, taking me

41
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 1: into a roles, just looking up to guys like myself.

42
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 1: He in the film room every day, he's studying. He's

43
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: always on time. UM. And we always say in the

44
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 1: deep room, ain't no such thing. That's a dumb question, Baker.

45
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:14,079
Speaker 1: I always asked the question, or there is the smallest question.

46
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:15,799
Speaker 1: It might be a dumb question, but like we say,

47
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 1: no question is a dumb question. And um, I think

48
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 1: they're gonna help him alone. The way, did you Sterling

49
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:23,919
Speaker 1: get hurt on that play yesterday where you guys went

50
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 1: for the ball together there was a place where you

51
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: guys like kind of bang getting to each other with

52
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: this day, Well, I don't know. I just know how

53
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 1: that people. I didn't see him no mode. So once

54
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 1: I seen him in the locker room by asking like

55
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: what happened, he was like he explained it to them

56
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 1: or whatever, and I just told him stay stays grown, bro,

57
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 1: What do you say he isn't on the ground kind

58
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 1: of fetching the ground now he was trying to he

59
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 1: was catching the ball, but it kind of hit the ground.

60
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 1: And then I guess a guy like on the ground

61
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 1: and got up told coach, I guess when you look

62
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 1: at Facer, he's very physical. I mean, just is there

63
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 1: a fine line between being physical in college in the NFL?

64
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I told him, you know you can you

65
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 1: could be physical, but it's a you got a certain

66
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 1: level to be physical because you don't want to get

67
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 1: up there and be too physical and guys push you

68
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:15,079
Speaker 1: off and throw you by and stuff like that. So, um,

69
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 1: we get that on the control Right now you're asking

70
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 1: about Baker. What about Julian love for you see from

71
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 1: him so far? A guy that could play multiple positions,

72
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 1: very smart. Um, got a neck for the ball and

73
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 1: just like to study yack jack. They can chat, coaches

74
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 1: can challenge pass interference. Now what do you think of that?

75
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 1: I think it's awesome. Um, give us an opportunity to

76
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 1: challenge to play whether it's a good player or a

77
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: bad play, because you know in the NFL every game

78
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 1: is won by what zero three to seven points at

79
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 1: the most. So I think it's great. You think it's

80
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 1: great if your coaches can challenge it to get it

81
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 1: flipped if you can't called for it, or what if

82
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: you get called for one, but if you don't get

83
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 1: called for it on the field, and then the coach

84
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 1: challenges it and then you get a flag for past appearance,

85
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 1: I gotta live with it. And something I gotta live with.

86
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 1: There's a chance that you'll be the only starter in

87
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 1: the secondary who finished the year back there last year.

88
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: How hard is it to get so many moving parts

89
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:19,919
Speaker 1: together and on the same page. I mean it's tough,

90
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 1: but you got older guys like but there. You know,

91
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 1: he'd been in the system already, Um peppers, you understand football.

92
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,600
Speaker 1: He's been around a long time. So for guys like that,

93
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: it just helped us even more because everybody, you know,

94
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 1: played a lot of ball and we just got to

95
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,160
Speaker 1: teach the young fellows. If you've seen the thing, like

96
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 1: to talk about him knowing the system and he's played

97
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 1: for Beetrock before, if you've seen him during the spring

98
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 1: and summer, even with you helping, you kind of understand

99
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: parts of the scheme more kind of taking on that

100
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,040
Speaker 1: you know player coach roll with all. Yeah, I mean

101
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: he knows the knicks and the next of the defense. Um,

102
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 1: something I didn't know when Coach Bett got here. You know,

103
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 1: I just knew the defense, but now I know the

104
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 1: ends and out. You know, there's small pieces I can

105
00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 1: get away with and I can't get away with you.

106
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 1: Um you know, what are your conversations like that with

107
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,600
Speaker 1: Corey Ballantine? Obviously he comes here as a rookie with

108
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,359
Speaker 1: a very unusual situation, but the track you could happen,

109
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,479
Speaker 1: So how do you you know, what discussion should you

110
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 1: have with him along those times? Man, you're here to

111
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 1: play football. Um, you can't worry about no outside distractions. Um,

112
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,280
Speaker 1: you should. Your main focus should be football and football only.

113
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,600
Speaker 1: It's just when you come up to show up to work,

114
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: make sure you focus on football. And um, he understands that.

115
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 1: You know what happened. It happened. You can't take it back,

116
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 1: So just come here every day and work. Did you see?

117
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 1: I mean he was. You know, that's pretty hard thing

118
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 1: to go through. He went through and has you know,

119
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 1: one of his best friends killed academy. But you you

120
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 1: talk to about just getting through that kind of thing. Yeah,

121
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:43,720
Speaker 1: I mean you gotta understand things happen in life. Some

122
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,479
Speaker 1: things you can't control, some things you can. And what

123
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 1: I told him is, you know, I feel sorry for

124
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: you. You You should feel bad as well, but you wasn't

125
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,919
Speaker 1: in a position to, you know, hinder that situation or

126
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,920
Speaker 1: help him out because you had to come up here

127
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,840
Speaker 1: and play ball. So just come in and focus. You

128
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 1: at a similar tragedy happened in your life last year?

129
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 1: Did you draw on that experience when you were talking

130
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:08,039
Speaker 1: about I mean I shared the wheel, you know, but

131
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 1: I tried to stay away from it because I don't

132
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,360
Speaker 1: want no distraction, you know, between him and that or

133
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 1: anything on the team. So just talk to him about that.

134
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,359
Speaker 1: What do you think miss a player as a player

135
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 1: who he can play. We got a note for the

136
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 1: ball um. You can tell he's been been coached very

137
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 1: well by a very good coach, whoever that may be,

138
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: because he technically signed and he's aggressive,
