  Speaker 1: A big one this week going up against Jamar Chase, T. Higgins,
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: and the Bengals offense. What's your mindset going into the game?
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Just go out there and compete. Just be the best
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: person I can be, and we just got to go
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: out there and do our job. What do you remember
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: about that game last year other than, obviously, the penalty.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: At the end?
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: We gave them a chance to be able to call
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: that call, so I just got to put myself in
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: the right position the whole game, and we just got
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: to play Jacksonville football.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: When you look at Jamar Chase, what do you think?
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: Great player. What makes him special? He can do everything.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: He can run routes. He can get the ball in
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: space and just do his thing.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: How tough of a challenge is he for a corner?
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: Like I said, he can do everything. It's really not
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: about him right now.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: It's about us. We just got to do our job.
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: He's going to do his thing, but we just got
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: to contain him and just be able to do what
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: we do.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: Do you look forward to a chance to match up
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: with guys like that?
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: Every week we got great guys. I'm just looking forward
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: to playing football. Liam has said focusing on you guys
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: kind of big message every single week. How important is
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: it just to get that message across? Have you guys
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: seen the last couple weeks what it really means? We
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: just got to continue to get better for real.
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: We just take the coaching and just continue to fit
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: the previous week behind us and get better. You're one
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: of very few players who can score or who has
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: scored an offensive touchdown and also had an interception.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: Which one had a better feeling to it and why?
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: Both was two different parts of the season. One was
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: last year and one was this season, so. It's really not.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: Just me being able to help my team is really
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: exciting for me. Neither one felt cool, though?
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: No. Travis, a lot of people talk about your ball skills.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: Are those still developing? When did those really take away
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: from you? Developing? I don't think ball skills are developing.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: You either got it or you don't. I just continue
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: to do my thing and be comfortable with who I am.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: When did that become an elite tool for you? Pretty
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: much all my life I was just then I had
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: good ball skills.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: It took me out there. I know how to go
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: get the ball, know how to catch the ball, pretty
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: much anything. You said it's not something you developed. So
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: is that just mindset? Is that physical skill?
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: What is it?
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just a mental mindset. You know, you'll be
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: able to see the ball, go get it. You know,
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: you just got to have that attitude about it.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: With that, Kent, this morning I was talking about Jordan's interception,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: just kind of how he preaches, his feet. Just when
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: you have a coach that really drills that, what is
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: that like? on the field and to see it in practice?
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: I continue to remind you, you know, seeing Johnny and
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: Rhett was picture perfect, exactly how we envisioned it to happen.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: And when we see stuff like that, we just continue
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: to stay focused and locking on what coach is telling
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: us to do.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: He always talks about camp. That is always talks about
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: being violent and attacking, whether that's a player with the ball,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: attacking the ball in the air, just kind of what's
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: that mindset been like taken to that coach?
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: I just try to see and we believe what he's
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: telling us, you know, because when we do the right
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: things and do what he's telling us, we make plays.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: You found yourself around the ball a lot, even before
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: you got the interception. Whether it was the Denver game,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: you almost got the pick, or against Matt Collins. Is
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: that things that you're seeing on film? Is that instincts?
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Is that natural?
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: What is that?
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: Really, just like Cam said, it's the eyes, feet, hands.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: All that play a part of the play. But the
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: plays that when I was around the ball, I didn't
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: get to the ball fast enough because my eyes was wrong.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: But I've got to continue to lock in on the
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: first detail, which is eyes, and then my feet and
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: my hands are falling.
