1 00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:06,000 Speaker 1: The guy who wait, oh, oh, it's really fun. Um. 2 00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:08,920 Speaker 1: I think we all enjoying it. Um. You know, just 3 00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:12,840 Speaker 1: so much aggression. Uh. And it's just giving us energy. 4 00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:16,240 Speaker 1: We're able to go out there and play without worrying 5 00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:19,640 Speaker 1: about making mistakes. UM. So it's just giving us a 6 00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:22,880 Speaker 1: lot of freedom to to just go play, go, go 7 00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:25,360 Speaker 1: attack and be the playmakers that you know that we 8 00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:28,760 Speaker 1: have on our defense. So it's been fun and we've 9 00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:32,240 Speaker 1: loved every bit of it. Is that the main is 10 00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:34,760 Speaker 1: that the focal point of Winks defense is attack. Attack, 11 00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:38,440 Speaker 1: you dictate, not the offense. Yeah. Yeah, and I and 12 00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:41,240 Speaker 1: I and like I said, we love it, um because 13 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:43,560 Speaker 1: you know, ultimately as a defense, that's what we want 14 00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:45,920 Speaker 1: to do. We wanna you know, we want to make 15 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:49,600 Speaker 1: the offense make mistakes, not then wait, not us wait 16 00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:51,879 Speaker 1: for them to make a mistakes. So we want them 17 00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,800 Speaker 1: to make a mistake off of you know what we do, um, 18 00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:57,720 Speaker 1: and and know how we bring that aggression towards them. MAVI. 19 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:01,560 Speaker 1: How different is it without Logan and James Bradberry. It 20 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 1: seemed like last year secondary was like the strength of 21 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:06,960 Speaker 1: the unit, and now all of a sudden, it's like 22 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:10,560 Speaker 1: you you're the old guy. Yeah, we definitely missed those 23 00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:14,160 Speaker 1: guys man, and you know they made decisions you know, 24 00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:16,120 Speaker 1: for for them that were you know, for good for 25 00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,000 Speaker 1: their situation. And uh yeah, I was just talking to 26 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 1: Lower actually yesterday about I just called him just to 27 00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 1: check up on them. But we all keep in contact 28 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 1: and you know, we all brothers at the end of 29 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 1: the day. But um, you know the guys that we 30 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:31,759 Speaker 1: have now, um, you know in our in our dB 31 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,560 Speaker 1: room were great. UM. And we all just you know, 32 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 1: finding that that building that chemistry with each other. Um, 33 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:39,840 Speaker 1: you know, finding that finding that bond within ourselves and 34 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,640 Speaker 1: within our group. And uh, like I said, we're having fun. 35 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,680 Speaker 1: Seem like last year was kind of a breakout year 36 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 1: for you. What do you consider your next step? Uh, 37 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 1: take it, take it, you know ten times forward. Um. 38 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 1: So that's that's you know, that's what I'm trying to do, UM, 39 00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 1: trying to make sure that you know, whatever whatever it 40 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 1: is I need to do to you know, help this 41 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 1: team win games, um and help us play uh you know, 42 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 1: great defense. Um. You know that's what I'm That's what 43 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:09,360 Speaker 1: I'm willing to do and that's what I'm going to do. 44 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:11,800 Speaker 1: So uh, you know, for me, that's what I'm focused on. 45 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,800 Speaker 1: We called Jerome Henderson the best secondary coach in the NFL. 46 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,359 Speaker 1: Obviously he's the only one you've ever known, But what 47 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,519 Speaker 1: about him makes him a good coach? And how important 48 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:23,239 Speaker 1: was it for all the young guys in this room 49 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,360 Speaker 1: to have the consistency of I think he's the only 50 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 1: assistant to state. Yeah, yeah, it's for us. We feel 51 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:30,960 Speaker 1: great about it. It's uh, you know, Rome and Mike 52 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:34,080 Speaker 1: actually with us, Um that stayed. Um, So you know 53 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 1: we're happy about that. But you know, they definitely give 54 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 1: us the confidence to go out there and just play. Um, 55 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 1: they help us a lot out there on the field, 56 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 1: just of you know, seeing different things. UM. So obviously 57 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,639 Speaker 1: when I came in, that's the Roman's who I had. UM. 58 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 1: So you know, it's been great just being able to 59 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,640 Speaker 1: stay with him. Obviously in this game, you always you know, 60 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 1: it's it's been a lot of coaches get switched around, 61 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 1: but you know, keeping our same coach and keeping the 62 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 1: coach that I had my rookie years. It's great because 63 00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 1: we already had that chemistry with each other. Um, A 64 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 1: lot of us had that bond with him already, so UM, 65 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:04,960 Speaker 1: it's a lot easier to you know, be able to 66 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 1: just you know, listen to him and and you know, 67 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 1: be able to soak in the information that he gives us. 68 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:15,240 Speaker 1: Pressure comes, you know, sometimes the dB gets stuck on 69 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 1: an island. Do you mind that? No? I don't. I don't, 70 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:23,799 Speaker 1: especially in this defense, because it's it's so much aggression. 71 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,080 Speaker 1: You know. It's just like I said, it gives you 72 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,079 Speaker 1: the freedom to just go out there and play. Um, 73 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,799 Speaker 1: So I don't mind that at all because at the 74 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 1: end of the day, it's me versue anyways. So I'm 75 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 1: trying to win win that battle every time, and I'm 76 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 1: confident that I'm gonna win that battle every time. So, 77 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 1: um that's how I see it and and that's how 78 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 1: I go about it. How do you when you obviously 79 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 1: had a lot of the turnover on the coaching staff, 80 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 1: but you individually, how did you attack the off season 81 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 1: and will continue to attack in terms of here's my game, 82 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 1: Here's where I want to take my game. Yeah, I 83 00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 1: just wanted to take it to the next level. Man. 84 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 1: I think my biggest thing this offseason has been a 85 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 1: lot of film study. Um. So I've just been diving 86 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 1: in on film, um, just you know, seeing seeing different 87 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 1: things that the offense does, whether that splits how they 88 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 1: run things when they're gonna run things, situational stuff. So 89 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 1: that's been really my biggest thing, like every day I trained, 90 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 1: but you know, I wanted to make sure that I 91 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:24,040 Speaker 1: over emphasized that stand in the playbook, um staying you know, 92 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 1: watching game, film, watching practice film, watching myself, seeing what 93 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 1: I could improve on. So I think that was the 94 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 1: biggest thing for me as far as you know, really 95 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 1: taking this thing to the next the next level, because 96 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 1: that's a lot of times that's what separates the good 97 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 1: guys return the great guys. It's it's the film study 98 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 1: part of it. So, uh, that's what I know, um, 99 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 1: and that's what I've seen. So just been focusing on that. 100 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 1: The way you watched film or the amount of film 101 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,599 Speaker 1: that you watched, uh kind of both. Um, you know, 102 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 1: I watched it more at like a slower pace, um, 103 00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 1: just so I can uh, you know, be locked in 104 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,920 Speaker 1: on on certain things. So if I saw a play once, 105 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 1: I would try to make sure that I could be 106 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,719 Speaker 1: able to see that play again. So for me, it 107 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:08,719 Speaker 1: was just watching it at a slurer place, not just 108 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 1: kind of going through But then sometimes I would also 109 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 1: just sit there and just watch the whole game, and 110 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 1: I wouldn't. I wouldn't rewind, I would just let the 111 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 1: game play through. Um, and if something came and I 112 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 1: saw something, I write it down or you know, I 113 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 1: call it out before before it happened. So it was 114 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 1: kind of both for me that you missed uh, good 115 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 1: chuck of your rookie year because of injury, came back 116 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:31,800 Speaker 1: and and be able to play this year. A rob 117 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 1: has sort of been the same situation a year a 118 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 1: year removed from that. What what advice do you have 119 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,360 Speaker 1: for him? And what can he expect in the second year. 120 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,280 Speaker 1: That's sort of a restart to do overfore, just to 121 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 1: go out there and be himself. Um. That's that's where 122 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 1: we asked, you know, amongst ourselves, where all we all 123 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,599 Speaker 1: hold each other to a to a high standard in 124 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 1: our room. Um, and we all know that we all 125 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 1: hold each other accountable. So UM, you know, for him, 126 00:05:57,680 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 1: it's it's really followed us. You know, just go out 127 00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 1: there and play, be yourself, um, and go make a play. 128 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,600 Speaker 1: So you know, we don't if you mess up. I 129 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:08,679 Speaker 1: mean we don't really we don't worry too much about 130 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:12,279 Speaker 1: that because everybody's gonna have their mental areas. I have mine. Um, 131 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 1: I had something today. Uh so, but everybody's gonna make 132 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,600 Speaker 1: their mistakes. Just go out there and play and uh 133 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:23,599 Speaker 1: we'll correct it later. What what did you think when 134 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 1: the team drafted Evan Neil? What was his rapid all 135 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,200 Speaker 1: about him? Yeah? I was. I was happy about that one. 136 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,040 Speaker 1: I was getting on him. I've been getting on a 137 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 1: couple of days, been on this on this on this 138 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 1: case a little bit. But I was glad that we 139 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,760 Speaker 1: picked him up. Man, He's been been great so far 140 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:40,839 Speaker 1: from what I've seen. When we go out there and 141 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:44,720 Speaker 1: compete against them, so, um, you know, we we I mean, 142 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:48,039 Speaker 1: we're we're family, so uh you know we obviously we 143 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,920 Speaker 1: played that Bama together, um, and it was fun there 144 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 1: and I'm just glad. I'm glad that he's, you know, 145 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 1: my teammate again, and I'm glad that we can have 146 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 1: him a part of the team.
