1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,720
Speaker 1: Jaguars safety Andre Cisco with us. We're leading into the

2
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:08,319
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys preseason Week one game. So camp so far

3
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:10,840
Speaker 1: looks like you've been in the weight room in the offseason.

4
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:13,520
Speaker 1: How different is it playing with that kind of weight

5
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 1: and how much do you have to learn how to

6
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:15,200
Speaker 1: use it?

7
00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:17,599
Speaker 2: Yeah? I think it adds a little bit of confidence.

8
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:19,439
Speaker 2: Just know that you know you got the armor to

9
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:21,800
Speaker 2: go in and get with the big guys and get

10
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 2: dirty like that. That's that's been the biggest thing I think,

11
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:25,959
Speaker 2: adding from last year that I want to get more

12
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 2: physical on the field. Just play to play. So yeah, it.

13
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:32,960
Speaker 1: Feels good this defense as a whole. What is the

14
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 1: what is the next step for the screw? It was

15
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:38,839
Speaker 1: an opportunistic group last year, takeaways and key moments, especially

16
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:41,199
Speaker 1: down the stretch. But where where can you guys make

17
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:42,240
Speaker 1: hay this year? Overall?

18
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 2: I mean, we can get better. I'm gonna start with

19
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 2: the back end. We can get better just expecting passes

20
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:49,480
Speaker 2: and understand what's coming on a certain down and distance

21
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:52,240
Speaker 2: to certain situations. And then take away a few plays

22
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 2: a game and you you jumped from last to first

23
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 2: very easily in this league, when when you just kind

24
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 2: of get on your details and take away the ones

25
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 2: that that you should know come in, make the routine

26
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 2: plays routinely.

27
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 1: There's not a lot of new faces around here, at

28
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:08,680
Speaker 1: least in the first team defense. Continuity can build a

29
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 1: lot of that too, right when you have the same

30
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:11,959
Speaker 1: group of guys in growing together.

31
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I think that's the biggest thing because

32
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 2: I know for me, me and Ray, we try to

33
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 2: get more creative. Now you know understand the defense and

34
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 2: certain things that have to happen on each player. You

35
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 2: could move guys around and still make it happen. So

36
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 2: just you know, they put in our hands and allow

37
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 2: us to have a little bit more freedom with that,

38
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:27,839
Speaker 2: and so it makes the defense more complex and harder

39
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:28,479
Speaker 2: to read.

40
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 1: How challenging is this wide receiver group to cover each

41
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:33,839
Speaker 1: day and see running routes against you?

42
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 2: Oh?

43
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 1: Man, I love it.

44
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 2: I mean, it's like it's really the best thing for you.

45
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 2: I mean when you look at all the highlights from

46
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 2: other camps and them showing receivers, I'm like, it's not

47
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 2: the same, Like we got something different and going into

48
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 2: games like it's just gonna make me that more patient,

49
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 2: that more is confident, that much more confident that much

50
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 2: more comfortable.

51
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 1: How different I mean, what's so different about this group

52
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 1: just technically the way they run.

53
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 2: I mean, you got a bunch of fast guys, obviously,

54
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 2: the fast guys everywhere. But these guys they know who

55
00:01:58,360 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 2: their quarterback is, they know what spots to get to,

56
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 2: they understand defense, and they work hard at their craft.

57
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 2: You don't got a bunch of lazy guys that pick

58
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 2: plays and and only go hard when to get in

59
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 2: the ball. I mean, they all go hard every play,

60
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 2: so it keeps me on my toes in and make

61
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 2: sure I'm down on the balls over my head.

62
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 1: Another you mentioned the quarterback seeing him from the back end,

63
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 1: how has he changed over the last couple of years,

64
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: just reading and looking and his comfortability in the offense.

65
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: I'm sure you can see that from the back end.

66
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 1: And the challenge of you know, him trying to look

67
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 1: you off all the time.

68
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, very decisive, but like also doesn't make a lot

69
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 2: of bad decisions, so it's pretty hard to pick him off.

70
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna lie, but it makes it it's a

71
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 2: good challenge because I mean, you could be perfect gonna

72
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 2: play and in terms of maybe if he tried to

73
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 2: look you off, He's still in position, and he knows

74
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:43,799
Speaker 2: not to throw it, you know, he knows uh when

75
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:45,359
Speaker 2: to make those when to take those chances at the

76
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 2: right time. So I mean, to have a guy like

77
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 2: that to practice against and then to have him as

78
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,119
Speaker 2: a quarterback on game day is a blessing for sure.

79
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 1: Andre. We've seen you before practice working on punt returns.

80
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: When was the last time you actually returned a punt?

81
00:02:58,040 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 1: I don't think you did in college, right, nah, high

82
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 1: high school a little bit.

83
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 2: But for me, I mean, honestly, it's mostly about just

84
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,359
Speaker 2: making myself comfortable being uncomfortable again in those positions of

85
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 2: you know, per terms, one of the hardest things to

86
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 2: do in the game. And so I'm just making myself

87
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 2: comfortable with tracking the ball in that aspect. But but

88
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,839
Speaker 2: coach knows that I'm reliable, so if it ever comes

89
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 2: to it, I could get back there fair catch some

90
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 2: from how.

91
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 1: Much time do you need in Saturday's game? Just how

92
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: much would you like to have?

93
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 2: I mean, honestly, like, these opportunities are are few and

94
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 2: far far betweens that the right word, yeah, they I mean, honestly,

95
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:32,919
Speaker 2: NFL Game Day is NFL game Day So for me,

96
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go out there with the right mindset and

97
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 2: approach it like a game because you can't take it.

98
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 2: You can't take it for granted. I mean, I've had

99
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 2: this two years now, I still understand, like how delicate

100
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 2: these situations are. You still want to approach it and

101
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 2: be grateful for the opportunity. So I'm gonna get there.

102
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 2: If I get in, I'm gonna work
