But it was just I got 5 00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:12,760 Speaker 2: an opportunity, and you know, uh, going into my seventh 6 00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:16,000 Speaker 2: year now as I got older, I just been learning, Uh, 7 00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:18,960 Speaker 2: after all the different vets I've played with, different schemes 8 00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:21,119 Speaker 2: I've play I've been playing in and you know, I 9 00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:22,439 Speaker 2: just made the most out of it. 10 00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:26,880 Speaker 1: Is there anyone in particular lingered leaning on in the 11 00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:27,680 Speaker 1: cornerback room? 12 00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:31,360 Speaker 2: As you get acclimated into the system, pretty much everybody, 13 00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:34,400 Speaker 2: I'm I'm getting to know everybody, uh a little by little, 14 00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:38,200 Speaker 2: so uh, I can't pinpoint a one person too much. 15 00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:40,760 Speaker 2: But uh, I'm watching a lot of Mooney. You know, 16 00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:42,800 Speaker 2: he had a lot of success last year. So uh 17 00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:44,640 Speaker 2: when I go back and watch games from last year, 18 00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:47,320 Speaker 2: I try to watch him, you know, and what stands 19 00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:49,519 Speaker 2: out to me with him is he took the ball 20 00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:51,320 Speaker 2: away when they threw him the ball, he caught it. Uh. 21 00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:53,120 Speaker 2: He was in a great position all the time.
