56
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 1: he is. He's tough matchic uh from day one since

57
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 1: Pep got here, I love competing with him. Uh. It's

58
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 1: it's gonna make me better, It's gonna make our tight

59
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 1: room better. And the guy's arrested, guy's in offense, and

60
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 1: he just flies around. He plays aggressive. Um, he's really patient,

61
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 1: um when when when guarding us or playing us man um,

62
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:51,359
Speaker 1: And you've gotta be fiscal with him as well. He's

63
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 1: real strong and a real real looks to the ground

64
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 1: player and so uh, I'm having him competing against him

65
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: each and every day. UM. Having his aggression there if

66
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 1: he likes to talk, he gets the defense going and

67
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: he plays with a chip on the shoulder. UM. That

68
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 1: that's gonna help the guys around him on that side

69
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 1: of the ball. And it's obviously you're gonna help us

70
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: as well. I'm competing against that. And you remember this

71
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: cooker skills head as it compared to some of the

72
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,399
Speaker 1: other covered safety you've gone against the first two years. Ah,

73
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 1: he's real patient. Uh, there's uh you get, you get

74
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 1: pass on and you're getting the speed of the game. Uh.

75
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 1: As a receiver, you want to work releases, you want

76
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 1: to give double moves. UM to kind of create separation

77
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 1: with him, you have to be really um deliberate with

78
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: those moves. He's really patient, he doesn't really bite. He plays,

79
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 1: he's really aggressive, UM, and he plays. He plays a

80
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: strong player. But you guys really work on your craft

81
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 1: with him. UM and Uh. And that's that's definitely gonna

82
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: just pay off when it comes to playing against other guys.

83
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 1: And it's definitely gonna help him. Um, it's gonna help us.

84
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 1: Him playing on defense is going against other competition as well.

85
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 1: Talk about a couple of injuries that last year, and

86
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: so what are you looking to expect on the feel

87
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: of the season. I'm I'm I want to play sixteen games.

88
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,119
Speaker 1: That's kind of my mindset um coming into this year.

89
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 1: And uh, it's there's definitely a responsibility off the field

90
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 1: if I have to take to make that happen. And

91
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 1: obviously you have injuries that you can't control, and and

92
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 1: and stuff happens on the football field, but there's also

93
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,840
Speaker 1: things you can't control. There's also things you can't control

94
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 1: to to to keep your body in the proper shape

95
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: and stay healthy and and stuff like that. So, uh,

96
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 1: that's that's that's kind of my motto this year is

97
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,799
Speaker 1: it's sixteen games, and uh, I know what it takes

98
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: to do that, and it's gonna be up to me

99
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:30,600
Speaker 1: to get that done
