• 0:02
  Speaker 1: to get a winning results, and I'm sure your room
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: is ready to get that winning result as well. Oh yeah, yeah,
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: it's passed due man. We gotta get a w We've
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: been working hard at it. His time for it to
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: pay off a little bit and trying to flip the
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: scrip and get back on the winning side of things.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: The biggest name to enter your room this year with
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: c J Henderson of course, the first round draft pick,
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: and he's battled a shoulder issue as of late, but
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: he flashes at times. Certainly in Week one this season
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: he stood out with the interception, some really nice play
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: in the run game as well, came up in support there.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Take us through what you have learned about him so far.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Is there anything that you've seen you maybe didn't expect
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: that maybe more than advertised with c J. But he's
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: real fluid um with his movement skills in and out
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: of break and he tackles well, you know, it's just
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: now getting the time on hand, uh of being able
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: to stay in there. You know, he battled that shoulder
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: angry um, so that affected him a little bit. In
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: one of the other games and he end up missing Uh.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: You know, um only played like the twilve first toil
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: players of the Cincinnati game. He missed last week, so
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: he didn't miss some time. It's really almost missing two games,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: you know, because like they only played the first couple
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: of series of the Cincinnati game and now it's back
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: got a full week of practice, So we looked at
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: him to get back to business as usual and hopefully,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: you know, finish this thing up strong. Trey Herndon on
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: the other side, earlier in the season, how has he
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: settled in a few games into what is now his
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: third season in the league. Yeah, Trey is trying to
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: settle in. You know, he's been moving around a little bit.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: You know, he's been working something at the nickel outside.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: We're gonna try to get him settled in at the nickel, uh,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: because you know, he's been about doing both before d J.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Hayden got hurt. So now he can settle in on
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: the inside and just kind of you know, get that
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: spot because there's a lot going on in the inside
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: of that nickel spot, so we need to make sure
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: he gets the rep of that. So that's what we
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: tried to focus on this week. And get him rolled
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: in there. How different of a skill set you need
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: to play in the nickel spot as opposed to outside. Man.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, everything happens real fast inside. You know what
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: I mean. You gotta be smart, you gotta be have
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: a high Q. Things happened real fast. You gotta have
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: good quickness. You need to be able to tackle. Uh,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: you know what trade does. Well. You know, he made
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: a couple of nice time was last week in there
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: because you really, uh, you're a nickel backman's passing you
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: a lineback and win his run. Coach sim Wolson with
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: US Jaguars cornerbacks coach Sydney Jones last week took advantage
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: of his opportunity to to get in a starting role
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: and made some big plays in that game in Houston.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: But giving him an opportunity, he really stood out last week,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: and it sounds like he's gonna have a role moving
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: ahead here. Yeah, he just gotta keep going. You know,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: everything is week the week, man, you know, and we
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: just gotta keep improving and keep getting better. Uh. He
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: earned an opportunity. He did a great job. He got
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: his hands on some balls. But like you said, we
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: worked every week, you know, every week in this in
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: the NFL. Man, you know, it's any given Sunday, so
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: you have to keep doing it. Good plays, bad plays.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: You have to put it behind you either way and
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: keep progressing. And he's done a great job of that. Man.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: He's obviously played a little football. He's smart, he worked hard,
