00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: and the speed of the game going to the NFL.

41
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,520

43
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,000

Speaker 1: You're confident in a great way. Is there anything that

89
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 1: phases you? I want to say, so, man, I try

90
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 1: not to worry about things that can control. Just control

91
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 1: what I can control. Um, you know, I know I

92
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: can control. You know how much I prepare, how much

93
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 1: I study, sure, you know how I take care of

94
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 1: my body high you know, train and you know. Everything

95
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: outside of that are the things that I can't control.

96
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 1: So I go out there, put my best foot for

97
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 1: it every day and you know, however the chips fall,

98
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 1: you know, leaving in God's hands and let it go

99
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 1: from there. Well, you're an athletic guy. I met a

100
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,279
Speaker 1: four or three four forty yard dash, the best of

101
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 1: all all the safeties at the combine thirty seven inch

102
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 1: vertical the relative athletics score. You placed in the top

103
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:28,799
Speaker 1: thirteen percent of all safeties testing wise since nineteen eighty seven.

104
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 1: Have you always been that athletic or is that something

105
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: that you sort of grew into over the course of

106
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:35,720
Speaker 1: time growing up. I feel like I've always been pretty athletic,

107
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: blessed a pretty good genes. You know, I passed from

108
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 1: the Caribbean, so they got that, you know, Caribbean athletic genes.

109
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: But just something you know, I've always been, always been

110
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 1: one of the fastest in school, you know, always one

111
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 1: of the you know, the best athletes that I've played

112
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 1: against or been one of the best athletes and you know,

113
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 1: whatever group I've been a part of. So it's always

114
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 1: been something. And that's just that competitiveness to not let

115
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:57,600
Speaker 1: anybody beat me, whether it's you know running hand or

116
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 1: his lifting or you know, football, basketball, whatever I play,

117
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 1: you know, just making sure that you know I was

118
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:04,799
Speaker 1: the best of what I did, no doubt about that. Again,

119
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 1: that's Nick Cross with us all right, this defense, Gus Bradley,

120
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 1: some of your teammates in the back end, like Stefan Gilmore,

121
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 1: Kenny Moore, You're running mate there at safety, Julian Blackman.

122
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 1: How have all of those things kind of helped you

123
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,599
Speaker 1: in your transition from college to the NFL. In this

124
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 1: defense here with Gus Bradley, Oh, that's definitely good. Um,

125
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 1: you know, all of us learning the defense at the

126
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:27,839
Speaker 1: same time, so you know, in a sense of the

127
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 1: clean slate for everybody. Everybody, you know, it's on the

128
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 1: same the same level. But you know you have leaders

129
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,600
Speaker 1: like you know, Stefan and Kenny who are back there,

130
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: you know, have a pretty veteran group. So it's not

131
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 1: like I'm throwing in there having to you know, lead

132

00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 1: at one point, you know, doubt playing at a high level.

142
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,159
Speaker 1: You know, from Steph who you know went first round,

143
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 1: Nick Kenny was undrafted to Julie who was right in

144
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,000

Speaker 1: football camp that you ever went to, was the camp

156
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 1: that he was hosting at at Damatha. How much do

157
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,559
Speaker 1: you appreciate him and how much has that relationship helped

158
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: you in your time and your path and growth to

159
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 1: the NFL. US definitely helped me a lot. Like you said,

160
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 1: the first a football of men idea was you know,

161
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 1: his camp and you know he was a lot younger

162
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: back down. But at the end of the day, you know, yeah,

163
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 1: it was you know, good to be able to see

164
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 1: somebody who you know, I was at his camp and

165
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 1: to see he's still in the NFL, still playing at

166
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 1: a high level. Um, you know it was good. Shows

167
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 1: it can be done. Um, shows it, you know, with consistency,

168
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: and you know everybody around here calls him the ultimate professional,

169
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 1: you know, a professional football player. By the way he

170
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 1: moved the way he prepares, the way he takes care

171
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 1: of himself, the way he goes about his business. So

172
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: just having somebody like that, who you know, another undrafted

173
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 1: guy who you know made it ten you know, it's

174
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 1: about to be eleven years for him. So it's just

175
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 1: good to be able to see him. And then he

176
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 1: came straight from my high school. So it's got to

177
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 1: be pretty surreal though that you guys are now teammates. Yeah,

178
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 1: it's crazy. You know. Um, you know when I first,

179
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 1: you know, got drafted, I was like, man, I was like,

180
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: oh wow, I was like riding on the like, that's crazy.

181
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 1: How to come how it really comes full circle and

182
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 1: both first years with the Colts. Yeah, it's really crazy

183
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 1: how it comes full circle. And you know we I started,

184
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 1: I started football with him, and you know we're right

185
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 1: here on the same team, and you know, it's definitely

186
00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 1: a crazy and surreal moment. Well you got yourself mccle

187
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 1: Brian Westbrook, Cameron Wake, Chase Young, Juwan Bentley, among others

188
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 1: that came from DeMatha. What is it about DeMatha that

189
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 1: is able to produce a pipeline to the NFL. I

190
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 1: feel like it just starts in the tradition. You know,

191
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 1: we have you know, traditionally had great football players, you know,

192
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 1: great you know athletes in general come through the school

193
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 1: and yeah, you know every year, every every class is

194
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 1: trying to you know, I'll do the class before them.

195
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 1: So yeah, you know, just to be able to see,

196
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 1: you know, you see the guys who came through before

197
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 1: you and what they did you you know, automatically pushes

198
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 1: you to become try to do better and try to

199
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 1: do better for yourself. So indeed, definitely a lot of

200
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 1: fun and definitely good to be able to you know,

201
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: see those guys and you know they come back, so

202
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 1: you really get to see up in person what it's

203
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 1: like to you know, train like a pro and you know,

204
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 1: go about your business like a pro. So it's definitely good.

205
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 1: That's Nick Cross safety for the Colts. Last thing, let's

206
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 1: talk about the game. What do you make of the

207
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 1: Texans on offense? They got Davis Mills at quarterback, Brandon

208
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 1: Cooks at receiver. What do you notice about Houston on

209
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 1: film going into this game? I feel like they want

210
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 1: to establish the run um you know, new offensive line coach,

211
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:02,320
Speaker 1: you know, they want to establish the run. They want

212
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: to be able to go in there and make an

213
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 1: identity for themselves. Um, Davis Mills, a good quarterback can

214
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,319
Speaker 1: make all the throws. Um. You know, Brandon Cookesman and

215
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 1: receiving the league for a long time. You know, extremely

216
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 1: fast guy. You know, take the top off the defense.

217
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 1: So we got to play incredibly differciplanting coverage and you know,

218
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 1: make sure that we don't let him behind us. And

219
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:19,560
Speaker 1: just you know, at the end of the day, it's

220
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 1: all about stopping the run up front, you know, making

221
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 1: sure that we you know, play our gap plays gap

222
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 1: integrity and go out there and just and play a

223
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 1: high effort, high intensity, high energy, and go out there

224
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 1: and try to get a dub. All right, that's Nick
