  Speaker 3: Team want to get it done before camp just to
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: not have it hanging going.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Into Uh yeah, yeah. You know we were negotiating for
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: a while, but you know, like I said, I just
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: left it to God. And you know, if if I
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: had to play out my my deal, I had no
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: problem with that. You know what I'm saying, Like, you know,
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: I was gonna do my job regardless.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: So when do you have to buy dinner first?
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: I don't know. We got we got a rookie dinner
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: for sure, so you know, I'm definitely not pulling out
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: the car at that Tyson. In this league, they say
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: after a wall during the season, you just forget about
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: it and move on to the next game.
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: But after what happened at the end of last season,
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: how long did this linger in you?
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: And when did you finally get back into twenty twenty
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: four mode? Mmm, I'll say probably once once ota start.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: You know, that gives you an idea like, Okay, it's
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: time to transition to the new season. But at the
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: same time, like, uh, you don't forget you know what
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: I'm saying, But you do move on and you grow
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: from it. You learn, you learn from what you know
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: last season taught you, and you just use it as
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: fuel for the next season. So that's what we're doing.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: We know we don't want to get back to that place,
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: so we're honting on the little things. I know yesterday
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: coach of Shard said, you know, uh, champions do the
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: ordinary things consistently. So if we could do that and
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: do that each and every day, I feel like we'll
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: be we'll be where we want to.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: Be frustrating was last year from an injury standpoint, and
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: then how much better do you think you'll fit in
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: this defense? Your skill set?
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: You said, how frustrating was. It's very frustrating. You know,
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: think you you're ready to come back and your body's
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: not ready. So it was definitely you know, mentally joining Uh.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: But you know, I leaned on my faith and leaning
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: on God and he got me through it, and so
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: that let me mentally stronger now and and to a
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: place where I feel like I'm very healthy, you know,
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: gain some couple pounds of muscle, so you know, I'm
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: ready to go.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: Man.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: And the defense, oh, in.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: The defense, Uh, I definitely feel like you know, this
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: scheme fished me. Uh, being able to you know, play
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: press and mix a little zone in there, just be
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: versatile and you know, a corner that likes to be
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: aggressive and you know, make plays. So you know, I'm
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: very fortunate enough to have a defense like this and
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: you know, great coaches around me helping me get better.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: With the first group who you had to pick out there?
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Does it matter to you who plays in that spot
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: opposite of you?
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: No, man, I trust every one of those guys in
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: that dB room. Like I said, like, we have so
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: much talent in that room. So you know, I'm trusting
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: my brothers.
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: Man.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: You know, whoever steps on I feel, I definitely believe
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: they're capable of, you know, helping the team win. So
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: a lot of.
