Well, I mean usually your slot corner is probably the third best corner in your team. UM, and I think Jordan's good enough to beat anybody's third best corner. And it's that simple, I think. I mean, you know, every every receiver has um their own attributes that that give them an advantage, whether they're shorter and quicker, UM, or they're bigger and more physical in the slot. I think it's just Um, he uses his body well. I think he knows how to uh be physical at the line
of scrimmage. Were guys that want to press him, he knows how to release. He's strong at the top of his routes and has really good by the control in the catch. So I think he knows how to use his attributes to his advantage. You guys look good in the preseason in the secondary. How much can you say, okay, based on the week on the preseason, only the preseason, that this is going to translate into the regular season. I mean, none of that matters so far what we've done.
I mean, every day we're trying to get better. Um. The preseason doesn't count for a reason, and UM, so nothing that we do UM last week, the week before that, this week is I'm gonna guarantee that we have success in the season. It's just us going to compete each and every time we're out here working. We want to be the best unit in the in the league, and we feel like we can be. But that comes with a lot of work, a lot of daily efforts, a lot of um um purposeful, meaningful work, and that's yet
to be done. Playing well may matter, per se, but it wouldn't give you guys a lot of confidence, especially after what they those guys give you guys last year. I mean we got confidence regardless. I think you know, whoever we match up against, we have confidence and in playing our technique and competing. So I don't think going against Green Bay will give us more confidence. I think, um, it's just an opportunity for us to compete. Where do you get better here for the season out of here
in the training or in those preseason games. I mean, you know it's yeah, I think both you get different things. I think from a skill standpoint, you during practices where you're really hone in on your skills, but uh, when you get to the game, you know, you get the timing of tackling. And because we don't talk a lot about here, but um, you get the timing of actually striking somebody. What is really like to fit in the run and and um, it's a little bit faster, a
little more intense. So the timing aspect you get you get back in the preseason games. But from a skill development, that's all during during the work week and really by time the game come, you just just out there playing much of the competition, you know, seton teams, like what is walking down to kind of lock it down doing the definitely made a bunch of plays since he's got here. I mean, whether he's punching the ball a lot, he's making the interceptions, uh, you know, he's playing well, he
knows the defense, he's making calls. Um. So it really hadn't been close when we're talking about this second state safety spot. Um, which is good. You know, I think we wanted to see somebody coming and grab that spot by the horns, and he's done such um and so we're excited to see what that turns out to be this year. The other two guys, I mean, I think it's uh, it's still on going. I think that the
communication between me and him is great. I think this week though we've put me with the twos and let some of the younger guys who are battling for that third spot um take reps with the ones to make not only them communicate, but also maybe kind of water take that um lead and and be able to make all the calls and get lined guys lined up as well. So that part, um, you know, with him being new
in the system, something that we're still of him. Early impressions with Nelson and you know now that camps weeks, you know his anything changed. Um My, My initial UM thoughts about Nelson that he's a great athlete. He's very very smooth and sudden and has really good routes for a young receiver. The one thing that when he first got here that I don't think he understood was the
timing of offensive football in the NFL. That it's not, you know, in the game, it's not like a one on one drill where you have all day to get open. It's you gotta beat your guy and be where you're supposed to be at when you're supposed to be there. Um And I think he struggled with that early. But as of as of lately, you know, he's spending an extra time. He's a humble guy. He works hard, and he's starting to get that that timing in rhythm part
of offense down. So he's getting off the line faster, he's getting to his route, getting into his routes, and he's already smooth and sudden. The rest of it is just you know, guy given time. So I think once he continues to learn the game and learn the intricacies of his position, I think he'll be great. That's the third jomp in your You can see those different times. Yeah, I mean, you know, it's it's it's actually pretty close.
We're still trying to determine that. I think, you know, the next two preseason games will be, um, you know, a crucial evaluation for that. Um, you got Marigos, who's coming in and play solid. Ed Reynolds came in and made a bunch of plays. Prazinski's come in and play solid as well. He's had a strong camp. So, um, you know, we'll see and I think that's it's gonna be fun to watch that play out, and um, you know, over the next two weeks, I think they'll make those
decisions at least encouraging. You know, it's preseason, but the past season that you guys, you haven't give it enough, the deep fall. I think it's only been two games, but he's encouraging that that was a big problem last year and now, no, that's I mean, this isn't you're you're speaking from the perspective of last year, and so to not have the ball over your head is an average accomplishment in the NFL. So we don't get excited
about doing average things compared to last year. That was a great thing, but you know, that's what we're supposed to do. And so you know, as it's one of those we don't get too encouraged by because we're just doing what we're supposed to do. We have confidence in the guys that we have out there and we want to be great. So just going out and not giving up big plays, it's not something we get super excited about. Year. If this was last year, we'd be jumping for joy.
But this is twenty and fifteen. Somebody what the biggest change in his play confidence? I think the biggest thing is, um, he's just making more plays. I mean, I think he's more comfortable with making calls and he's taking a little bit more chances than he did last year. Uh, if you just watched the preseason game where he had two interceptions last year, a preses game, I think he had
to play just like that and dropped it. And so just what making those plays, What that desk for your confidence as a player is, you know, it's like no other. So I think the more and more he makes plays, the more confident he'll get, the more plays he'll make, and um, you know, it's fun to watching him develop and really making a push to make this team.
