Speaker 3: the guys. Man, I don't want you know what I'm saying.

6
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:12,799
Speaker 3: They was joking with me and giving me a lot

7
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:14,280
Speaker 3: of stuff for wearing the red. But I'm out of

8
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 3: it now, so it's all good.

9
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 1: What was it like when you from in the locker

Speaker 1: room and saw no red, didn't?

11
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:20,280
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, I was excited.

12
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:22,639
Speaker 3: I knew it was coming though, but I was definitely excited.

13
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:25,440
Speaker 3: Uh so that was yesterday. I had something to look

14
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:26,400
Speaker 3: forward to on that Monday.

15
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 2: So it was good.

16
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I did.

17
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:32,199
Speaker 2: I did, you know, just breaking it in breaking the

18
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:35,560
Speaker 2: new jersey? In how you feel? You? Do you feel

19
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 2: one hundred percent healthy? Back to you?

20
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 3: So yeah, I feel good. And I mean I've I've

21
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:41,240
Speaker 3: been felt that way, you know. I just it's protocols,

22
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 3: you know, So I just got to be smart to

23
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 3: be patient.

24
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 2: But feeling good, ready to go. Well, you were in

25
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 2: the red, did you feel like you got the work

26
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,279
Speaker 2: that you needed? Yeah? I mean I was out there

27
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 2: practicing every day.

28
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:55,279
Speaker 3: It was just more so, uh my teammates taking care

29
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 3: of me I'm taking care of them that kind of thing,

30
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 3: you know, just being on the same page with that.

31
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 3: But other than that, I mean, the biggest thing me,

32
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 3: it's just conditioning, you know, just being being ready to

33
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:05,319
Speaker 3: run and cover and that kind of thing. So I

34
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 3: was able to accomplish that even though I was in the.

35
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 2: Red in terms of knowing the schemes Fitnam.

36
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, because I was out there every day just

37
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 3: in Red Jersey the.

38
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 2: Ryan Nielsen decause what you would vision it would be

39
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 2: and how good of a fit is it for you?

40
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's definitely even more so, you know, it's just

41
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 3: it's just and I feel like it's rare that you

42
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 3: have a defense that's dynamic because you normally you think

43
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 3: of offenses are dynamic, but I feel like this defense

44
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 3: dynamic unless the playmaker's gonna make plays.

45
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:36,679
Speaker 2: So I think it's perfect fit for me.

46
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: What what about in terms of do you feel like

47
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 1: for safety it's an instinct based defense or is it assignment?

48
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 3: I mean, obviously you have assignments, but at the same

49
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 3: time you have rules, so you you kind of you

50
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 3: kind of know when when you're your chance is to

51
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 3: go make a player or whatever. So obviously you gotta

52
00:01:57,720 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 3: find your assignment, read your keys, that kind of thing.

53
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 3: But you know, once you do that, you're playing football.

54
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 2: Do you feel like this defense is to where it

55
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 2: needs to be for a week? One man stacking block?

56
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.

57
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 3: We don't want to put a ceiling on ourselves. You know,

58
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 3: we just coming in here each and every day, you know,

59
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 3: iron shopping iron. We're just trying to get better every

60
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 3: day every single day.

61
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 1: You talk about the playofs in the defense and the

62
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 1: ability to go make plays just for you.

63
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 2: How does that.

64
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 1: Feel knowing that you have guys like Cisco who is

65
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: a ball hockey up, like Tyson Darby, whoever it is,

66
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 1: that can just make a play at any time.

67
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 2: I mean, it's good. We feed off of each other,

68
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying.

69
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 3: It's kind of that kind of that anticipation of you know,

70
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 3: who's gonna be the one, you know what I'm saying.

71
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,399
Speaker 3: So we just out there just just focusing on doing

72
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 3: our jobs and when our moment comes, we gotta make

73
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 3: that play.

74
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,639
Speaker 2: So it's exciting. It's fun. You know, we challenge each other,

75
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 2: we get after it a little bit, so it's cool.

76
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 1: And I know if they're not in your same position.

77
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 1: But when you have guys getting after your quarterback like

78
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 1: Trayvon and Josh, I mean they let the league in sacks,

79
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 1: just how much will that help you as a defensive back.

80
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean we working with each other, you know,

81
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 3: it kind of goes hand in hand. You know, if

82
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 3: we're not covering back there in the back end, quarterbacks

83
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,080
Speaker 3: getting ball out quick and you know, if they not

84
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 3: necessarily get home, then we covering all day. Then, you

85
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:05,079
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying, we were back there fighting for

86
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 3: our lives. So it goes hand in hand. So we just,

87
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 3: you know, just holding each other to a high standard

88
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 3: on both sides, you know, and just trying to keep

89
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:13,799
Speaker 3: that same pace and that same intensity every single day.

90
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: Brian Thomas like one of those guys that doesn't look

91
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:18,959
Speaker 1: like he's running hard and then the next thing you know,

92
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: he's like four steps behind you.

93
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 2: One of those kind of guys.

94
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 3: Well I an wouldn't say four steps, but yeah, I

95
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 3: mean he's he's one of these.

96
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 2: He's an easy runner. I mean, he's so tall.

97
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying, You don't really, you know,

98
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:31,959
Speaker 3: realize how tall he is. I think BET's worked about

99
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 3: sixty three somewhere around there. So he just kind of

100
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 3: glides when he runs. You know, he's got them long strides,

101
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 3: so it doesn't really look like he's digging, but he's

102
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 3: covering ground, So not go ahead.

103
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 2: How conceptive is that for a defensive back when you've

104
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 2: got a guy like that? Yeah, I mean it's deceptive.

105
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 3: You know this, I mean this, this league is full

106
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 3: of great athletes, tall, tall runners, you know what I'm saying,

107
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 3: short runners, you know. So, uh, he's definitely got a

108
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 3: unique skill set as far as being that tall and

109
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 3: being able to cover that much ground and kind of,

110
00:03:58,320 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 3: you know, just get on top of the defense.

111
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 2: But you know, it's just it's good. It's good for

112
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 2: him to see us, and it's good for us to

113
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 2: see him too.

114
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 1: So what did you and your age right all times

115
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 1: when you went shop at him?

116
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 2: He's top of the list. I mean, I assume, I know,

117
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 2: I can't ignore the money factor, but I mean.

118
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 3: Other than that, uh yeah, I mean for me, it

119
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 3: was just just really just getting back to playing football

120
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 3: the way I know how.

121
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 2: You know, obviously, you know, my time in Green Bay

122
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 2: was good.

123
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,280
Speaker 3: I learned everything I could, you know, and I'm forever

124
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,720
Speaker 3: grateful for the opportunity, you know, but just being able

125
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,279
Speaker 3: to just be a playmaker and just just move around

126
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:33,280
Speaker 3: and make plays in different positions, that kind of thing.

127
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 2: So I feel like that was a big factor, you know,

128
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,280
Speaker 2: and I feel like we picked the right spot. What

129
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 2: did you How much homework did you do on Ryan

130
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 2: Ryan Hilson?

131
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 3: I mean, I wouldn't necessarily say it was it was

132
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 3: a lot of homework. You know, I knew he was

133
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 3: in Atlanta. Uh, last year, you know he had Jesse.

134
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 3: Jesse had a great year obviously, you know, had safety

135
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 3: for him.

136
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 2: And you know he's just a guy. He's fiery guy,

137
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:56,719
Speaker 2: he just loves football.

138
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 3: That's that's somebody you can come to work with every

139
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 3: single day, you know what I'm saying. So just that

140
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,840
Speaker 3: in its own is a big thing for me too.

141
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:11,039
Speaker 2: So y'all, what this might be weird, what I'm just letting.

142
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 1: What would you how would you describe your specific role

143
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 1: in this defense? Like they're listening to you as a safety,

144
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,919
Speaker 1: you're playing inside of it, You're able to do multiple things.

145
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 2: I don't think it's a specific role. I just want

146
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:27,280
Speaker 2: to be around the ball man, you know.

147
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 1: Uh.

148
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 3: I feel like I feel like I can really make

149
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 3: the game difficult for offenses, you know, so with me

150
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,280
Speaker 3: just moving around. And I'm pretty smart too, so uh,

151
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 3: you know, I can't wear a lot of different hats,

152
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,280
Speaker 3: you know, So just me just moving around and just

153
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 3: staying in it and just being all over the place.

154
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,039
Speaker 2: It's fun. You know. It keeps me engaged. So it's cool.

155
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 2: When we write it, do we say safe to your corner?

156
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,280
Speaker 2: Howevery y'all want to split it? Man, every y'all want

157
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:55,799
Speaker 2: to split it? Dv dvall
