1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:01,880
Speaker 1: What kind of opportunity you feel like you're have in

2
00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:05,440
Speaker 1: front of you this year? Definitely a great opportunity. You know,

3
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:09,040
Speaker 1: the UM pretty much just come to work and you

4
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:11,959
Speaker 1: know sees my opportunity to get better every day and uh,

5
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 1: you know being around some great guys and what are

6
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:21,160
Speaker 1: the particular adjustments for you technique wise, mindset wise going

7
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:24,200
Speaker 1: from the slot to the outside. I'm trying out to

8
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 1: think of it. You know, too much of a difference, UM,

9
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 1: you know, except now I got you know, more sideline

10
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 1: you know, work with UM. You know. Other than that,

11
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:37,240
Speaker 1: it's pretty much pretty much feels like it's it's coming

12
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 1: along up. How does that playing? You're having more sideline

13
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 1: to work bread? But why why do you like so

14
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 1: you have the sideline to work with? You know, it

15
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 1: sounds like you were saying that's a good thing. Why

16
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 1: is that? You know, it's just you know, being in

17
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 1: the slot. You know, it's it's more green to work

18
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 1: with UM. You know, I was being dB. Sidelines are

19
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 1: front so pretty much sums it up. How much as

20
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,479
Speaker 1: a cornerback or you can be asked to do different

21
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 1: things in this scheme not two months just you know, um,

22
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 1: just to do my job and get my job done.

23
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 1: There's a feeling that that you guys are gonna kind

24
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 1: of be left on an island a lot more if

25
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 1: you sense that, or is that we think it's it's

26
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 1: gonna be kind of similar in that regard. Um, you know,

27
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,400
Speaker 1: I'm not thinking about it too much. You know, the

28
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 1: corn about is a corner about. You know, you're you're

Speaker 1: What what was it like going through the last couple

33
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 1: of weeks months really uh, change the situation, kind of

34
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 1: playing it out and how that how that may or

35
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: may not have affected you, depending on wherever you landed

00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 1: and we're happened with the team, right, Um, you know

37
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,680

Speaker 1: your first year? Yeah, you know, definitely learning experience. You know, Um,

46
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of it was mental for

47
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 1: me at first, and uh, you know, I have some

48
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: great guys around me helping me and bringing me up,

49
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 1: you know, until I was able to get back out

50
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 1: there and you know, helped them anyway I could. But

51
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: you know, it was it was just you know, from

52
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 1: a mental standpoint, it was everything was pretty good. Though.

53
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 1: How much outside corner did you play at Central Florida

54
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 1: or Alabama before that? Like how much outside corner have

55
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 1: you played in your life? Definitely definitely said I played

56
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:53,079
Speaker 1: a lot of outside corner, you know, um y that

57
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,679
Speaker 1: I definitely said I played. I played a lot, you

58
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 1: know that. I know you actually snap wise played more

59
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 1: outside corner then in the slot last year, but overall

60
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 1: you didn't play a lot. So when's the last time,

61
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 1: when's the last season when you played a lot of

62
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 1: outside corner? Last season? Um, I mean whenever they needed me,

63
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:17,959
Speaker 1: you know, and I played you know, in the slot

64
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 1: outside you know, when whenever they needed me to. Yeah,

65
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: so like in your final year at center, Florida. I

66
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 1: think you were you mainly a slot corner. Yeah, so

67
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:28,079
Speaker 1: like the year before that. I'm just trying to say,

68
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 1: but when is the last season, the most recent season

69
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: when you played a lot about a lot of outside,

70
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 1: a lot of outside last EPISO, it was was a

71
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: lot for me. I definitely say, you know, the opportunity

72
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 1: is that's going to present themselves. You know, um, it's

73
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: a great scheme, still learning, still getting better every day

74
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: learning it How important you think it was? You know,

75
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 1: the whole new regime comes and you missed so much

Speaker 1: have shown on the field because for your injury, how

80
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,040

00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 1: right now? We are playing with him once. Yeah, my

82
