1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:02,000
Speaker 1: What do you like about this secondary? You know, we

2
00:00:02,080 --> 00:00:06,080
Speaker 1: made a lot of headlines about all the offensive playmakers

3
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:07,720
Speaker 1: that you guys brought in, But but you guys have

4
00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:11,000
Speaker 1: done a pretty quiet, sneaky job of building up that

5
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 1: secondary pretty well. Yeah, with the addition of Door, Um,

6
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:16,239
Speaker 1: I definitely like the skill set that he brings to

7
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:19,320
Speaker 1: this secondary. Um So, right now we're just trying to

8
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:21,239
Speaker 1: get I chemist you down and I trying to get

9
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:24,480
Speaker 1: the communication down through mini camp and stuff. But I

10
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:26,759
Speaker 1: think we're gonna be pretty solid. You know, he's a great,

11
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:30,640
Speaker 1: great athlete, and he's also smart as well. How does

12
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 1: that help you? I guess you know last year you

13
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:35,160
Speaker 1: had a sort of a rotating cast on the other

14
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 1: side of the field. Is that having somebody there locking

15
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 1: down that position finally help you at all? Um? I

16
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 1: wouldn't necessarily say it helps me. Um. I would say

17
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 1: with the additional door, it helps the overall defensive scheme

18
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 1: because he has speed, you know, and we play in

19
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 1: this league. You know every team probably has like a

20
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 1: fast guy and the fact that you can match match

21
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 1: a door on him, um, you know, it gives your

22
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 1: defense a lot of versatility. Um So, like I said,

23
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 1: I'm glad to have him. Hey James, Hey, how you

24
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 1: doing good? Good? I got two things for you. First

25
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 1: of all, do you think the way the secondary is

26
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 1: set up now with a dory, you guys are more

27
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 1: capable of playing man, defense, man, coverage, you know, pretty

28
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 1: much whatever you want. I mean, I think we were

29
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:29,040
Speaker 1: capable of playing man last year. Um. But of course

30
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: with the addition to him and his speed, you know, um,

31
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 1: that definitely gives you more upside and more versatility. Like

32
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 1: I said, you know, you got the Tyreek Hills of

33
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 1: the world that are on these teams. A fast guy

34
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 1: and he can match up with that guy, So it

35
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: definitely gives you a lot more versatility. Not sure if

36
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 1: we're gonna be able to play more man or not,

37
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: but um, we're gonna be versatile as always. I'm also

38
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 1: real quick, Um, your second year in this program with

39
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: Patrick Graham, you know, a lot of guys seem to

40
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 1: think you guys got a lot of defensive facts. You know,

41
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: a lot of safeties, a lot of guys you can

42
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 1: put in and off the field. How confident to you

43
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 1: that Patrick Graham will figure this all out? I think

44
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 1: he did a great job last year. He put me

45
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 1: in position to make plays. Um, it was just up

46
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 1: to me to come down to make those plays or

47
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 1: left someone to feel. Um. So I'm looking forward to

48
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 1: being under his wing again for another year and just

49
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: continue to learn from him and also you put him

50
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:19,359
Speaker 1: a better position this year and make more plays. Thank you,

51
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 1: thank you, thank you. Hey James, how are you just

52
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: wanted to ask you. You know, you guys didn't have

53
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 1: an offseason program last year. Uh, you do have some

54
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 1: players that have played together before in your secondary. But

55
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 1: what was the real benefit of having an off season

56
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: program together for you guys? Just to continue to get

57
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 1: those reps together, build that chemistry. Um, you kind of

58
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: learned really off the field. You learn how guys, how

59
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,639
Speaker 1: they tick, you know what what motivates them, Um, how

60
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: you need to approach them, like if you if you

61
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: need to discuss a certain scheme or you know, to

62
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 1: discuss something that that you and him can work on. Um.

63
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 1: Just building that chemistry in the camaraderie. Thank you, sand

64
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: dug in the athletic Hey, James, I think you're asked

65
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:10,920
Speaker 1: if it Thory helps you said, you know, not really,

66
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 1: but to help you in terms of the matchup that

67
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 1: he can go cover those tiree kills and you can

68
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 1: worry about the bigger receivers. I think I could cover both, honestly. Uh,

69
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 1: but I would definitely you know, we're playing those fast

70
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 1: guys and we have another big guy on the other side.

71
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:26,519
Speaker 1: I would definitely like to match up, you know, put

72
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 1: the physical guy on the physical guy in the and

73
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 1: the fast got on the fast guy. And then with

74
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 1: this week there with many campus it's on frustrating the

75
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: defensive back where you guys have been really contest passes.

76
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 1: It wasn't frustrated for me. UM. I understand what OT

77
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: is about. It's about us building those reps and getting

78
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: that chemistry and also learning the defense. UM. So you

79
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 1: also don't want anybody to get hurt. And when you

80
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 1: have a plays where you have guys coming in full

81
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 1: speed and breaking up passes, it's potential for injury. UM.

82
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: We don't have paths on so I definitely understand. I

83
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: didn't get I didn't get frustrated with it. Thanks, thank you.

84
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 1: In Nience Country. Hey James, how are you doing doing? Good?

85
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 1: About you? Good? Thank you? James. Kind of a big

86
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 1: picture question here, if I may, um, this is year

87
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,119
Speaker 1: two for you in this program. What have you seen

88
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,840
Speaker 1: from head coach Joe Judge in terms of his growth

89
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: as a head coach? What's different about him this year

90
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 1: than maybe you know, we didn't notice last year. Honestly,

91
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 1: Coach Joe is gonna be coach Joe. He was the

92
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 1: same as he was last year. Um, you know, he

93
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 1: has high expectations for us. He's gonna push us um

94
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 1: to our limits, you know. Um, he's gonna push his heart.

95
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 1: The practice is gonna be tough, the meetings are gonna

96
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,159
Speaker 1: be informative. UM, he's gonna make sure we get all

97
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,599
Speaker 1: the information that we need to make plays. And that's

98
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 1: what he's been doing. He's the same coach as he

99
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 1: was last year. Tom cannonban Ap James is kind of

100
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 1: one of those knit picking questions with the depth you

101
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 1: have a defense to back. Can you do you need

102
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 1: more plays in the playbook or do you have a

103
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:13,600
Speaker 1: playbook where you just can use more now? Hmm? Can

104
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 1: you can you repeat that question again? I'm trying to

105
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 1: process it with with a playbook? I mean, did you

106
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 1: have more in the playbook you couldn't use last year?

107
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 1: Or do or with a dept? You have? Now? Do

108
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: you need a bigger playbook. Oh um, no, no, sir, UM,

109
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 1: I think we had a lot of We had a

110
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 1: lot of players last year. You know. I feel like

111
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:39,159
Speaker 1: we're a smart secondary and we're able to um, you know,

112
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: obtaining all that knowledge and all the stuff that they

113
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,280
Speaker 1: throw at us. UM, So I believe they're gonna throw

114
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,280
Speaker 1: the same amount at us. UM. It's not gonna be

115
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,160
Speaker 1: any less. It probably won't be anymore. You know, it

116
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,280
Speaker 1: might be a little more, just because it's our second year. Altogether,

117
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: I'm not sure yet, but UM, I feel like we

118
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: can retain it, you know. Thank you, Tom Rock. Can

119
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: you say he was like, I just want to ask you.

120
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 1: You were a guy that missed a game last year

121
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 1: ever because of a close contact. Uh, you know this

122
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 1: year if that happens, if you're if you're vaccinated, you

123
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 1: wouldn't miss that game. Um. Does that Does that impact

124
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,480
Speaker 1: your decision? And you talk to the guys on the

125
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:17,919
Speaker 1: team at all about that? Um? I haven't talked to

126
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 1: any of the guys on the team about the vaccination

127
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 1: because of course that's the personal issue. And um, those

128
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 1: guys are gonna make the decision that's best for them.

129
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: And likewise, I'm gonna make decision that's best for me.

130
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 1: I'm still trying to get all the information on the

131
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 1: vaccinations and stuff. Um So, I haven't come up with

132
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 1: a decision yet. Um as far as I don't, of course,

133
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 1: I don't want to miss any games. Um so I'm

134
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 1: gonna do my best not to miss any games next year.

135
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 1: Um as far as injury or the other COVID you know,

136
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 1: uh so, yeah, which seems like the vaccination would would

137
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 1: go a long way towards the second part of that.

138
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 1: I'm sure it would. I got I gotta get all

139
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:51,479
Speaker 1: the information, you know. I'm still still gotta make a

140
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 1: personal decision. It's gonna be a personal decision for me. See,

141
00:06:55,520 --> 00:07:03,160
Speaker 1: I haven't come up with an answer for that yet
