• 1:36
  Speaker 6: McDonald and Schneider and make the moves they did and
• 1:39
  Speaker 6: and just take two starters and they're off the team.

  Speaker 3: What do you guys notice about?
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, it's it's a business. You know, hopefully

• 1:52
  Speaker 2: of the business and we just can can control we control.
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: So that hit.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: You had on the sideline, yeah, uh was reminiscent of
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: the Camp Chancellor Ernie Davis hit the same field, same area.
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: Did you hear from Camball?
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Did you see that hit when it happened back in

  Speaker 1: the Digion fo days.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: I definitely seen the hit.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: His was probably way harder than minds, but you know
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: it was just a good play by me and just
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: playing fast. And hopefully I will hear from him. You know,
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: that's my guy, so I'm sure I will when I
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: see him.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: So what was your reaction to see a flag on
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: the field for something like that?
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: I was, I was heated at, you know, at at
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: the moment, but you know, they picked it up and
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: I was thankful for that and we got off the field.
• 2:27
  Speaker 6: So did they when they picked it up, they told
• 2:29
  Speaker 6: you that was with the.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Shoulder, off the head or what They honestly didn't tell
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: me anything, but I knew myself that I led with
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: my shoulder, So you know, that was just gonna be
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: one of those cars where you just had to take it.
• 2:39
  Speaker 5: So what did you see on that play to put
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: you in position.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: To make it so I knew that once he looked
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: off Cooper Cup, I knew that he was gonna go
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: backside and just allowed me to stay true, stay middle
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: of the field and make a great breaking make a play.
• 2:52
  Speaker 5: Your transition to safety, how do you feel like that's
• 2:55
  Speaker 5: gone overall?
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: Pretty well?
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: Obviously there's always things I can get better at, you know,
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: that's the biggest thing right now that I'm you know,
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: still trying to get better.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: But I feel like I'm doing pretty well.
• 3:03
  Speaker 6: Did you put safety at any level?
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: My freshm year of college, they brought me in to
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: play safety, but they moved me to corner instantly, so
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: it's really my first time playing safety.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: High school, you were a corner, right, correct.
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: I think you said before that you weren't really you
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: didn't really like that idea at first when I was
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: brought to you. Was that because you just didn't want
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: to go to a position change or you didn't like
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: the idea of playing safety in.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: Particular, just so many changes. You know, being a young player,
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: you don't understand that until you talk to guys like
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: ti Uh not Tyro, Butqandre Diggs and you know a
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: couple other guys just having that, you know, conversation to
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: it puts longevity on my career and you know, just
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: you know, shows how much they have faith in me.
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: So when was that conversation and who was it that
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: you had to talk with?
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: I had to talk with Quandre instantly, you know, that's
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: like I said previously, that's my big brother.
• 3:53
  Speaker 5: So conversation about the team when they oh.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: Okay, so just last year coming into camp, not this
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: past year, but previously talking to coach Scott and you know,
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: he just explained all the reasons why they wanna move me,
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: and you know, I just willing to help the team.
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: So that's the biggest thing.
• 4:08
  Speaker 6: What is the challenge the bet the hardest challenge from
• 4:10
  Speaker 6: being a corner through.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: Safety, I would say the open field tackling and communication.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: You know, especially in this defense being safety, you have
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: to communicate. That's the biggest thing. And you know, that's
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: like I said, that's two biggest things.
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: Every coach is gonna preach that practice matter and competition everything.
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: But what was it what kind of messages to send
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: the players win, whether it's you, Tyres Josh show, like
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: guys are earning those chances and getting per the starting.
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: Pause hopefully it says a lot. You know that we're
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: willing to work.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: You know, nothing is given to us, and you know,
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: once you get the opportunity, you just take full advantage
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: of it.
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: How do you feel like just the the general moved
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: to the team is right now, it's kind of coming
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: off the stretch.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: You have and coming off the we we're good man,
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: you know, we we needed that buy. Now it's time
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: to go back to work.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: You know, that's the biggest thing is go in focus
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: and you know, go out on Sunday and get the
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: job done.
• 4:59
  Speaker 6: How do you make an impression when you're not playing?
• 5:01
  Speaker 6: How do you make impression in practice meetings? What do
• 5:03
  Speaker 6: you do to how do you catch your attention?
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: I mean just competing, you know, doing the little things right.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: And when you do get the opportunity, you know, like
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: I said, you take full advantage of it. Special teams,
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: practice and then obviously in the game too. So you know,
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: it's always work to be done.
• 5:18
  Speaker 6: Did shit or uh, Jay Love give me any insight
• 5:21
  Speaker 6: as will about transitioning and playing multiple roles.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, definitely. I forgot to message Jay Love. Definitely
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: Jay Love too. You know we're a lot closer now
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: this year and then shared you know, I still talk
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: to shit to this day. He still sends me things
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: that I could continuously work on. And just to have
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: those type of guys in my corner helps a lot.
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: Specifical people running the alley.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: They give you any.
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: Insight on how to.
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: Excel at that part of the game one hundred percent.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Obviously he was a leader at that being what he's
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: probably like four eleven, No, not for eleven, but but
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: you know, nah, but just like I said, he was
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: excellent at that, man, And he just told me, you know,
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: just once you get the opportunity, go full speed and
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: make the play. Just play safety in this defense a
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: whole lot different than it was that are there the
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: previous defense? I would say so just because this is
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: like my first year fully played safety, so it's not
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: completely different, but just little tweaks here and there.
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: Tyree Knighte, what have you seen from him?
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: Pretty good player, man, Obviously I have respect for him.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: Excited to see him, you know, go out there and
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: make plays. Man, I believe him so excited.
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: What does he do? Well?
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: Uh, just you know, he communicates well, you know, especially
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: being a young player, fistic guests. Well, and like I said,
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: he's just gonna compete. You know, it's the biggest standards
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: to ask for a rookie.
• 6:30
  Speaker 6: So Ernest Jones in the last two games played a
• 6:36
  Speaker 6: new player.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: But what stands out of line him He's a He's
