I'm good out. Did this camp compare from like a team competitive standpoint offense versus defense? Compared to your other camps before?
I feel like, you know, with the young dB room that we have, I feel like everybody took a step and you know, got better. So this camp, this camp was more challenging, you know, with just everybody competing, everybody trying to get better, you know, get right for the season, and you know iron, iron sharpens iron. So I just felt like everybody was just getting better.
What's the toughest spot for you? Would you rather play in the slot? Would you rather play outside? There's different positions? How are they different?
Uh? Well, I'm I'm I'm more of what the team needs. So wherever the team needs me, that's where I play.
Do you prefer one or the over the other?
I actually like both, like being interchangeable, playing both, just showing the versatility. But if which just want me at nickel, then I'll play nickel. But if they want me on the outside, and if they want me to do both, then I'll do both.
The challenges of if you do if you are doing both, you know, going inside in the nickel A how how difficult is it to kind of change your technique and things like that.
Uh. I really wouldn't say difficult. I would just say, uh, just paying attention. You gotta be more detailed, you know, you gotta know it down the distance, what techniques you want to play, you know, with if we're in zone coverage or if we're in man coverage, running with motions and stuff like that.
Nickel all throughout those I forget which weeks they were, but he seemed to recall a three game game stretch for early last season.
Where you were nickel. Yeah.
I think it was weeks one through four or one through five. I played nickel and then when uh e man Emana Mosley had got hurt, that's when I switched to outside.
Did you played at all at college? No? I didn't. We Uh I played one game. We played a cal.
And then, like, I mean, they had their number one receivers in the slot, so I was kind of playing slot that game.
Yeah, we were charging every pass in camp for the quarterbacks. But in terms of the cornerbacks, you guys weren't getting many interceptions, but you were getting your hands on some balls. So how how'd you guys deal with that and trying to get.
More take just trying to be better one percent every day.
You know, attacking the ball, it was a lot of plays that we should have made or should have held on to the ball, but you know, we're just saving it for the season.
How much you we learned from Steve welksh.
I learned a lot just with being who I am and being a sponge, just going in every day trying to trying to get better, just paying attention to his techniques and just everything he say. He's like, he's like the sores for for like, you know, he got all the answers. One thing in particular that you really honed in on that he's taught you really just planning reading the chest, you know, the chess play, whether it's back
shoulder shoulder steel square is going down the field. Just just just in that aspect with playing level three skills, I.
Was taking it to a different level this summer. It appears you you defended him last year and this year. What would you say the difference is what's he Where's he better this year than a year ago?
I would say is his route? His route running.
He's way better in route running, you know, his catching and his ability to leap.
What do you see from running a belt.
Uh, he's a he's a dog, you know, a player that's willing, that's that's willing to take the coaching and just get better and he's not gonna stop until you get better. So that that's what kind of I've seen from the preseason with him. You know, I just seen a player that just want to get better in this division.
Cooper Cup and Tyler Lockett line up on the inside in the slought a lot so that this lock corner probably has that responsibility. Did you do much coverage of either of those two guys?
Uh?
Yeah, last year when we played the Rams, I think the first the first week I was matched up against him in the slot, and then the second time we played them, I was a majority outside.
All Right, thank you, thank you.
