Speaker 1: wanted to be at. UM and just usually over time,

8
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 1: whenever I played and everything, coaches would ask me what

9
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 1: I would be down for it and however I can

10
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 1: help the team. I was always down for it. So

11
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 1: whether the coach wanted ne to the offense and you know,

12
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:34,760

26
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 1: off of the conversations maybe with the team and with

27
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 1: other teams around the league, and they talked to you

28
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 1: mostly about playing in the plot or playing outside or

29
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:42,119
Speaker 1: really not getting into too much detailed those comrades yet, Um,

30
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 1: not in too much detail about it. Like I said before, However,

31
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 1: I can help the team, I'm definitely down for it.

32
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 1: So whatever they need me to be, So whenever I'm

33
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: let me England, you know, wherever they need me to be,

34
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 1: it's the same way what my mindsets. So whether that's

35
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: outside and inside or fake you or whatever I'm went down. However,

Speaker 1: team great, Thank you, Express Mike Reas, followed by Bob

37
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 1: Silphie Marcus. How would you describe your style of play? Um,

38
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: I'll definitely describe it as a competitive guy. Definitely want

39
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 1: to make sure football IQ is high, but that just

40
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: comes with the competitive nature that I definitely like to

41
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 1: play by next play entirety kyp of person and I'm

42
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: a Marcus in terms of cornerbacks that maybe you follow

43
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: or potentially model your game after, who might be a

44
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: player too that stands out. I honestly don't have a

45
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:48,799
Speaker 1: person to where like I kind of model my game

46
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 1: as because the main thing that I try to do

47
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 1: is I play a lot of positions. Like I said, so,

48
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 1: I just try to get different tools and just work

49
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,399
Speaker 1: on however my coach teaches me and use the way

50
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 1: to help me on a field. Our next spect from

51
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: Bob Sofia by Henry McKim Hey, Marcus, congratulations, Thank you, hub.

52
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 1: This is related to the first question from Mike, the

53
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: previous question regarding your competitiveness and as well related to

54
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 1: the answer about your football IQ. With your size and

55
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: I know You've probably asked a lot about it, I've

56
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:33,920
Speaker 1: seen some interviews and the competitive nature that you have.

57
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 1: What is your mentality that allows you to play as

58
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 1: physically as you have. You've been described as a guy

59
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 1: who's a baller. And then beyond that, regarding your football

60
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: IQ when you have played offense, handling a return game,

61
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 1: but also obviously as a full time defensive back, how

62
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 1: did you manage to balance all that? The main thing

63
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 1: I always pride myself is is in controlling what I

64
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: can control, so controlling the control booth. So that's definitely

65
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 1: getting in with the coaching staff and my position coach

66
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 1: and watching Sam, watching with my teammates, doing things like that,

67
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,119
Speaker 1: and just helping ours as a collective group, because it's

68
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 1: not only me, you know, it's also the other guys.

69
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 1: And when you got all eleven guys working hard and

70
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,479
Speaker 1: you know, dialing in and what coach, the scheme and

71
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 1: everything that we have going on, then the team collectively

72
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 1: works with that as a whole. So it's me doing

73
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,720
Speaker 1: those things and like I said, controlling the controllable selfs

74
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 1: out with everything else. Just was would you describe yourself

75
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 1: as a real coachable player, Yes, sir, for sure, Thanks

76
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:45,880
