 How's life good Life Little app called a source It wasn't no big win definitely you know some we planned all week to go down there and just handle business get on the right track Get us back to you know 500 Just go out there and just play together and just come back with W Oh, you know I go back I look at it sometimes I really you know I look at the the good plays that I made and But most times I you know always look at the plays that that I could have made or plays that I didn't make that I should have made so You know, I try to grade myself hard and Look at things that I could do better Finding the volume of times where you can say that I didn't do that right or I needed to do that better Is that number being smaller than maybe it was last year? Maybe it was earlier in the year I'm not I don't know. I'm not really looking at that in particular. It's just like I said, I just go out in there Just put pressure on myself grade myself See what I could did right what I didn't do right and just going like damn not really looking into You know did I do better last week compared to this we're not really comparing What do you think is working for you what do you think has kind of led to those types of numbers? preparation just Trusting the scheme and defense that we got going into the game just the game playing itself And just holding myself accountable and doing my job You know just going and watch film just looking at concepts Tips from the coaches of course throughout the week, but just looking at concepts any type of thing I could pick up on Whether it be no stance Sometimes, you know route variations anything like that just little tips like that. It's you know helps my game a little bit Yeah, whether from high school or college or college to here even last year to this year like yeah, just I'll say more So just being around guys in the not locker room, but my position just coaches like picking up tips and Again better watch a film just understanding the little details that come with just playing faster and being able to be ahead a little bit Was there a guy who? Has like given you a lot of advice on how to watch opposing receivers or was there a coach was there? You know somebody comes in who kind of said hey, you know This is how I do it and I can click for you to do it like that Yeah, you know I can I can name a lot of people that you know help me out with that But somebody in particular I didn't really start watching film of course into college So I get that to my DB coach Mike Reed, you know just going in just Sometimes I remember he used to give us like a sheet of paper Just for us to go down a list of things that we need to look at when we watch a film first You know receivers or just you know anything like that so He really liked Told me you know what what the watch out for going into the week Would that shoot paper be full or would be empty and you'd have to fill it in type of thing where he's like I kind of want you to I want to see where your head is at. No, it's just it's just awesome, you know Self-preference like you can take it in and nine times out of 10 I never really took the sheet, but I always because the sheet had so much stuff So I never really like took the sheet. I did my freshman year I took it but other than that never really asked for it because I already Knew from the sheet what I need to look at okay, so I Do you kind of transition like what might be put on that sheet once you got to the league? Like did you use that as like a template for how you broke down receivers or how you studied them? Yeah, so, you know just from the sheet itself you would pick up things that Like I said, it would be a whole bunch of things on the sheets Certain things I didn't I really felt like I didn't really need I just picked up what I needed off the sheet and just you know play with it and Just help me going throughout the week for games Is there a balance between having a lot of studying that's like in your head and maybe Where you might be thinking too much because you have all this information Is there like a balance for you that you found works, right? You know, I don't like going into the week Thinking too much, you know, I try to keep my my My head simple and just being able to just go play cuz I don't like you know, you thinking too much. I feel like You know you play slow So, you know, I just like to anticipate and just trust my ability and just go make plays You obviously don't shadow, but you feel like you learn about the guys you're playing kind of like as you're playing them Right Yeah, definitely throughout the game just coming coming in The first series of the game just anticipating like I said just anticipate what I'm gonna get and then throughout the game You know start to get more comfortable and feel feel out of receiver certain formations or anything like that And you know just start playing ball start playing good ball But do you have a specific strategy for like when you're watching your guy like you watch Say the number one receiver on Tuesday the number two receiver on Wednesday like you break it down like that Like how do you break down when you're watching what you're watching? Usually I just like I said just I Find the top receivers on the team or whatever and then I just Try to find tips on them and then try to see Rock variations anything like that that I can pick up on not too many rock variations But once that I know that show the most common, you know, then the ones I try to master before the game How much do you have books on Individual guys at this point because you're still young enough in your career like you know vet guys like Jenkins like sleigh Like, you know, those guys will have everything about Devonte Adams or guys in their division How much do you have on guys at this point or is that still an evolving process for you because I find it's definitely still evolving process, you know Every receiver is different you get different things out of each receive each matchup. So I Don't have a booklet or anything like that, but I Trust my preparation. So that's that's there, you know, that's what they do and I do this Yeah, I saved my notes, especially like during the season never especially like for the vision games and Playoffs, you know, just being able to double back or whatever It's always a good name Positioning was always so good, right Confident physical, right Just playing corners. So if you got to have self confidence out the gate, you know Just going and lining up against anybody you can't be immensely defeated out the gate. So just lining up against Cal read And, you know, rest all, you know, whole receiving cord loop throughout practice I just try to make sure I'm in right position make plays on the ball and just giving them a Good look as as they give me a good look leading up to game weeks and stuff like that Where do you keep your notes? Like I know that sounds like a very mind you should type question But like is it like an app on your phone? Is it in like a file like you have a zip drive for a laptop? Like you have no you actually have notebooks like sheets of paper like what Mike would tell you to do or Yeah, I mean I keep my notes Paper nope not not no, but but the iPad just wherever It's organized. It's it's organized everything I do is organized. So You know, sometimes I feel like writing in the tablet. Sometimes I want to write on some paper just pens Do you always have like do you always have that out with you when you're watching film like I know it's Coverage is kind of different sometimes in terms of just looking at when you're targeted, but there there are times Especially where it just in man, it doesn't seem like they're targeted very much Right, how do you kind of stay engaged when you go through you play 72 snaps or something like that? Number Yeah, you definitely got to stay locked in I like I said before just going into each play I'm thinking past every play like You know, not I'm not thinking run. I'm I'm out there to Guard the receiver. So I'm thinking past before run my job is past first. So Just being able to go out there Eat snap and just not get complacent like not you know, I mean not get complacent and just take care of my side and my business Is what I'm here to do Yeah, I take pride in being involved in the run just Feel like that's just part of playing defense, you know, just being able to Play corner but also be able to come up and tackle just something I pride myself on Have you talked to go like you're not getting part of it? Have you talked to other corners you've experienced that? To kind of kind of see how they handle it at all like again, just you being a young guy like trying to get advice and No, I haven't I haven't reached out to anybody To to kind of keep you from that uh I don't know at close. I just I just you know, just play it every day. Um Not getting targeted is good. So I know I'm doing something good something right You know, it's like that's like a catch 22 thing right like because you want you want to work Right All right, you know I mean being targeted and making plays and not being targeted not having opportunities to make plays Is a win for a court for a db. So That's just how I look at it and Everything would be good How do you think that the Fabian has been doing this year? You know, it's his first opportunity to be kind of an every down corner Yeah, Fabian been good. Definitely big brother to me. So, um Always been, you know, since day one just been uh, you've been able to talk with him on the sideline Whatever just pick his head. He always got tips and reminders uh for me and for everybody in the secondary to watch out for And uh, he just definitely Veteran for me You know, like I said a big brother that just be on top of his game This might feel like a weird question, but I mean do you start thinking about promo Possibilities with the way you're playing and and how much attention you're not getting Yeah, I don't especially now. I'm not thinking about none of that. I'm just All that I take care of is still um just go out there and just Do what I got to do and like it'll it'll all take care of itself But some guys set that as goals at the beginning of you know at the beginning of season It's definitely it's definitely a goal. Like everybody has big goals and but right now it's I'm just You know doing my part to even attain that goal like I gotta do me But all right, I'm on you know, I feel like I'm doing what I'm supposed to do And uh, just focusing on me. So like it'll all take care of itself I'm real good at tuning things out I'm real good at tuning things out just Whether it be football or just anything outside of football like Nothing really like blows my you know just Gets in the way You know, I try to keep everything that everything good. I try to keep level headed and just Keep attacking each day like Not not getting into the to the to the media and what everybody has to say because It all trickles down when things go wrong like yeah, I don't it don't faze me at all Your instagram stories You see you always see the first quotes right When did you start doing that like is what's the what's the purpose for you behind doing that? uh, just And the person who sent me those quotes was actually my uh undone by all american Coach coach cox. He always send like good morning texts some like motivational texts Well, and it don't even be about football or anything like just beats for straight like motivation and uh You know, I just been posting it since I feel like you know college like freshman year And it's just always like he'd been consistent every morning just sending me those and we don't even really talk He just sent me those every morning So, you know, I pay respects to that and I just feel like everybody should be able to hear it So, I mean when when you post do people respond To you Yeah, it's created a whole bunch of like mostly people either they responded a screenshot and posted on their story or whatever So I know it's getting around and touching other people. So I just keep it going whenever Uh, I I get those messages and I find time I post them Actually, I mean, do you take those to heart or is that or is that kind of one of those wrote processes where you're like, you know If I don't post this it if you were right, there's my quote, but no, I take it. I take it to heart because The quotes sometimes they They hit they hit me different Like they hit me a certain way and they hit somebody else a different way Like we not live in the same life. So I'll put it in my perspective and they could put it in theirs Even if the quote don't even attain to me like sometimes I'd be like You know, this one might not be the one for me, but it might be the one for somebody else And it's a one that for you has still stuck out like whether it's like a year ago two years ago four Like that you really like man, like, yeah, that one really hit me I can't I can't do it off the top of the head It's it's a lot though. Like even the one today. I can't even tell you off the top, but I posted that one today. It's they all good
