1 00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:06,040 Speaker 1: I think it was you talking about how that nickels 2 00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:08,600 Speaker 1: always kind of overlooked and forgotten. 3 00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:12,119 Speaker 2: I know you talked about last year. 4 00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:16,680 Speaker 1: I'm just curious, what have you seen from the position 5 00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:22,520 Speaker 1: of itself since you got how taking that maybe. 6 00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:26,360 Speaker 3: Your most outside of Yeah, I mean I didn't realize 7 00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:29,120 Speaker 3: the importance of it when I got in In college, 8 00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:29,480 Speaker 3: we didn't. 9 00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:30,440 Speaker 2: I played nickel. 10 00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:33,040 Speaker 3: But it's the college and I came here and you 11 00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:35,200 Speaker 3: have to be so vocal and communitive, and you gotta 12 00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:38,239 Speaker 3: run parts of the defense. And I know it's a 13 00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:39,800 Speaker 3: it's a lot more of what people think I'm in 14 00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:42,400 Speaker 3: the run past and as well setting up the defense 15 00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:45,280 Speaker 3: as well. So it's a lot more complicated. But it's 16 00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:46,479 Speaker 3: it's a good it's a good job to have. 17 00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:46,920 Speaker 2: It's fun. 18 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,800 Speaker 4: And there are players that I mean, you there's no 19 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:54,800 Speaker 4: like stand out, like you say, this guy's the standard bearer. 20 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:58,200 Speaker 2: For that for that role in history. Right, you're a linebacker, 21 00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:00,560 Speaker 2: you go back and you can watch these guys play. 22 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:01,000 Speaker 2: If you're a. 23 00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:04,160 Speaker 4: Nickel back, who's the guy you you say a lot 24 00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:05,640 Speaker 4: to call off his film and watch it. 25 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:07,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, especially when I was coming into the league, there's 26 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,480 Speaker 3: a lot of guys like the older guys like Kenny 27 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:11,959 Speaker 3: Moore is one of the guys I looked up. I 28 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:13,840 Speaker 3: looked a lot of tape back coming out and like 29 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:15,840 Speaker 3: mc duffie the year he played Nickel and one I 30 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 3: got out. Bro Uh, those were a few guys that 31 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:19,880 Speaker 3: I looked at when I was coming in. So I 32 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,320 Speaker 3: mean there's not really the big time ones, like you know, 33 00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:24,119 Speaker 3: it was kind of like a I wouldn't say newer, 34 00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 3: but it's there's not as many dominant ones throughout the 35 00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 3: throughout time. So like the newer guys, I kind of 36 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 3: look after them. 37 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,560 Speaker 2: Step. Yeah, it's like you're a slow safety. Here a 38 00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:38,319 Speaker 2: nickel that's changing? You think that's that's changing a lot. 39 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 3: I mean I don't think almost probably every team has 40 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:42,720 Speaker 3: a nickel kind of a quick guy can cover slot 41 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:44,039 Speaker 3: well as well being the run fit. 42 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,320 Speaker 2: So uh, sprinkle, like everyone has one? 43 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:48,560 Speaker 5: What's it like one of me and stuff wanted obviously 44 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 5: have to go back to college, but what are those matchups? 45 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:51,560 Speaker 2: Like? It's good work. 46 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 3: He's really good on his releases and what he can 47 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,640 Speaker 3: bring to the table as a slot receiver because he 48 00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 3: can stress the field and work down well. So, uh, 49 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:00,840 Speaker 3: I be gonna get him for a while, but it's 50 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 3: it's still work every day. Every day he brings it too, 51 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:03,800 Speaker 3: so it's a good work. 52 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 5: What was it like, I guess back from the tech 53 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 5: when you guys first faced off each did you notice 54 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:09,720 Speaker 5: back then like, oh, this guy's got great routes with 55 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 5: these What did you see that first time you saw? 56 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:14,079 Speaker 3: Yeah, I was in college. Yeah, they didn't let me 57 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 3: guard him that much. I was the backup and every 58 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 3: was they didn't let me go a good stuff. But 59 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,680 Speaker 3: he's always had that burst in that quickness to him. 60 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 3: So he's really he's taking his game up, but he's 61 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 3: still the same one. 62 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:28,519 Speaker 2: Though, I got something free now, Yeah, he's Cook's technology. 63 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:36,799 Speaker 2: We can't go against people.
