1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,320
Speaker 1: Curious what the adjustment is like because you know, you know,

2
00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:04,640
Speaker 1: and Alabama's kind of looked at it's almost like an

3
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:08,159
Speaker 1: NFL program. Has the adjustment been like to you to

4
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:11,720
Speaker 1: uh to this camp? Um, you know, of ques it

5
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 1: is a little different, uh the transition from from college

6
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:20,239
Speaker 1: to the pros. Uh, definitely a different level of speed

7
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 1: and just tempo. Um. But you know, like I said,

8
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 1: it's still like you said, it's still you know, somewhat

9
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 1: similar um as far as kind of what we do. Um,

10
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:32,159
Speaker 1: but you know, as far as like tempo wise, it's

11
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 1: a little a little bit faster, um, but you know

12
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 1: it's uh, you know, it's it's a lot, it's a

13
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 1: has a lot of similar ways to it. How similar

14
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 1: is the way Joe operates to the way saving operateds

15
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 1: It's very similar, um basically, Uh like when I kind

16
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 1: of figured out and when he kind of discussed you know,

17
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 1: some of his rules and and how he wanted things

18
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: to be m handled and how he wanted us to

19
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 1: be as a team. Uh, you know, it was almost

20
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 1: like a mirror version of how it was at Bama

21
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 1: for me. So um, it was as as far as

22
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:12,199
Speaker 1: that it was an easy adjustment for me just because

23
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 1: I've already you know, been in um this type of system. Um,

24
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 1: So it wasn't it wasn't that hard of a transition.

25
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 1: I was hoping that you could take us through your

26
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 1: the interception you had the other night. Uh, coming up

27
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 1: on the wine scrimmage, it looked like mm hmm. Yeah.

28
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:30,400
Speaker 1: So I was just on the blitz. Um. I got

29
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 1: a couple a couple of progressions to to read through

30
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: before I actually finish out my whole blitz. Um. And

31
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,960
Speaker 1: once I go through all those progressions, Uh, then that's

32
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: you know, that's that's when I can kind of attack. UM.

33
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 1: But I kind of felt, uh, you know, I felt

34
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 1: the quarterback looking my way, are looking for something behind me? Um,

35
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 1: and I felt something behind me, and it was almost

36
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 1: like just a reaction play. UM. I used my instincts

37
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: and and you know, try to make a play for

38
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 1: us there on the gold line. It look like you

39
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 1: almost had one again today. I guess they ruled it

40
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 1: in complete. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I almost had

41
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 1: had one today, UM said. I think I might have

42
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 1: had almost had a couple of today. UM didn't didn't

43
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: finish the play like I should have, But that's why

44
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 1: we got filmed, So I'm gonna go back and looking

45
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: and see, um, you know what I can get better

46
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 1: than where I can improve. Are you satisfied with a

47
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 1: play where you can break up a pass or your hand? No?

48
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 1: Not sett never satisfied. Um. I think that's my biggest

49
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 1: thing right now. UM you know for me, you know,

50
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 1: I I know what I can do. Um, I know

51
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 1: what uh you know I'm capable of. So, um you

52
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 1: know a lot of the times, you know, I go

53
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 1: back and watch my film and we watched film as

54
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: a team. Um you know I always study, um and

55
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 1: see you know what I did wrong and you know

56
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 1: what I can do better? So, um you know I

57
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 1: can I can improve on on the play or whether

58
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: it's a out or whether it's whoever I'm guarding. So

59
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 1: I try to make sure that keen on that every

60
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 1: time I watched philm Thank you, Kay, Xavier. It's Kim

61
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 1: Jones from NFL Network. Joe Judge told us a little

62
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:18,359
Speaker 1: while ago that tomorrow will be the most intense practice

63
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,360
Speaker 1: you guys have had. It's the scrimmage, and I'm just

64
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 1: curious how excited are are you to be in that

65
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 1: environment where he said it's going to be kind of

66
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: put the ball down and go. The defensive coordinator will

67
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 1: be calling plays that kind of thing. I guess, just

68
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: how ready are you to play kind of some football? Oh?

69
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 1: I mean I'm extremely ready. Um. You know, it's it's

70
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: tough to say because we've had some pretty intensive days. Um,

71
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: but you know, like like I said, it's gonna be

72
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: a Scrimmas tomorrow. So um, you know I'm ready for

73
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 1: you know, whatever we might see, whatever we might get. Um,

74
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 1: and it will definitely be fun uh to to get

75
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 1: out there and actually just kind of, you know, be

76
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 1: able to play freely without you know, you know, coaches

77
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 1: kind of yelling at you and and just going out

78
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: there and playing and trying to make some play. I

79
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 1: wonder how you're approaching you're starting spot here. We see

80
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: you running with the one next to pappers. Uh do

81
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,279
Speaker 1: you feel like you've kind of secured that spot or

82
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 1: how do you how do you approach it as a

83
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 1: rookie here, I'm just like I said before, UM, you know,

84
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to get better each and every day.

85
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:29,479
Speaker 1: I'm not exactly where I want to be right now. Um.

86
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 1: And even like I said before, I even got got

87
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 1: up here. Um, you know, whatever role that you know,

88
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: they want me to play, whatever, whatever they want me

89
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,919
Speaker 1: to do so that the team is is successful. And

90
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,599
Speaker 1: I'll make sure that I do that. So um, you know,

91
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: for me, I'm just my my main focus as a rookie,

92
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 1: it's trying to get better. Um, it's trying to earn, um,

93
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 1: you know, the respect of my teammates, trying to earn

94
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,720
Speaker 1: the trust from my teammates. And then that's what I'm

95
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:01,839
Speaker 1: gonna do. Is thevier you mentioned how Joe Judge's approach

96
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 1: is very similar to what you saw at Alabama. I'm

97
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 1: wondering in general, how receptive our players to the discipline,

98
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 1: the hard hitting, the yelling. You know, Joe Judge has

99
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 1: gotten some criticism. Are ready for that approach. I'm sure

100
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 1: there are some players who don't like it. But from

101
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:22,039
Speaker 1: your experience, how how do players usually receive this kind

102
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:26,159
Speaker 1: of coaching? Um? You know, we I think as a team,

103
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 1: you know, I think we we love it to be honest. Um,

104
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 1: you know, like everybody's trying to get better. Um, you know,

105
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 1: everybody's trying to improve. Everybody loves discipline, especially here. UM,

106
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 1: So right now, we just we just go out there,

107
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 1: we focus on what we need to focus on, which is,

108
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 1: you know, becoming a better team, Um, you know, getting

109
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 1: better as individuals. Uh so that I mean, that's what

110
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 1: we do. Um, everybody on the team, you know, lights

111
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,840
Speaker 1: coach does so. Uh you know, I think I think

112
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 1: we're good on that. We just go out there and

113
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: work and we try to get better as a team. Savior,

114
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 1: could you give us a little insight into how the

115
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: chemistry is developing between yourself, Japril, Um, Julian, just the

116
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,479
Speaker 1: whole safeties in general, and you've guessing this based on

117
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,919
Speaker 1: what we've read, what we were kind of seeing that

118
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 1: there's going to be a block put on you guys,

119
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,679
Speaker 1: and I'm just wondering how that chemistry is coming amongst

120
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 1: all of you. Uh. You know, well, we're building it

121
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:26,720
Speaker 1: every day, um, you know as as a dB room, uh,

122
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,280
Speaker 1: including the corners, including all the safeties, we're building it

123
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 1: every day and film when we're out there and practice,

124
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 1: whether we're walking through we always try to make sure

125
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:40,839
Speaker 1: that we we're good communication wise, and what we do,

126
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,280
Speaker 1: try to make sure that we're on the same page

127
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,040
Speaker 1: just so when we get out there on the field,

128
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 1: you know, everybody's you know, working on a stream. Um,

129
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 1: so it's a lot easier to play like that. But

130
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: I think it's it's coming along really well for all

131
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 1: of us. Uh. You know, of course we still we

132
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 1: still as a group have a lot uh to to

133
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 1: work on and improve. Um. So that's where we're were.

134
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,159
Speaker 1: We make sure that we do it each and every

135
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,280
Speaker 1: day when we walk in the film room and then

136
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 1: when we get out there for practice. And who's kind

137
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 1: of emerging as the leader of that group? I'm sure

138
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: you're one of the young leaders, I would imagine, Bradbury.

139
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 1: Are there any other guys who are kind of stepping

140
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 1: up and being the leader of that young defensive backfield room.

141
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 1: I feel like, uh, you know all the all the

142
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 1: you know, the bets which I would consider the bets. Um.

143
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 1: You know, you got jb Um, you got Pet, you

144
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 1: got j Love, Um, you even got Court like all

145
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 1: of the all of the older guys are leading us.

146
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 1: You got Nate Evner, Like all these guys are leading us,

147
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 1: and especially the rookie, they're trying to teach us the

148
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 1: right way. They're trying to teach us. Um, you know,

149
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 1: all the things to do, you know, whether that's off

150
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 1: the field or on the field, they're trying to make

151
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 1: sure that, you know, we have the right mindset coming

152
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 1: into it, so um, you know, we don't get lazy

153
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 1: or or nothing gets bad from that standpoint. So that
