00:00 So how much have you noticed growth for you heading into the season from

00:05 especially this guy right here that just bumped in.

00:07 >> I feel like good.

00:08 I feel like we all bounce off each other, teach each other things.

00:11 If I'm doing something wrong, Jabbar would tell me.

00:13 If Jabbar doing something wrong, Thaddeus would tell him.

00:15 So we all have a great culture in the DB room.

00:19 >> Is it feel like this is your year?

00:20 This is kind of the year to step up, the year to take ownership and

00:23 everything like that for you?

00:23 Cuz I definitely feel like an older guy in the room now, I definitely feel like

00:27 it's time for me to give back to the program just how the older people, KT,

00:32 E3, Liger, Mullen, Trent, all of them gave back to me when they were older.

00:36 So I feel like it's my time to give back to the program and

00:38 pass down my knowledge.

00:39 So I definitely feel like that's my role.

00:41 >> What's maybe the one thing that you guys kind of came into this season?

00:44 Cuz obviously the defensive secondary, you guys look well towards the end of

00:47 last season, but there's kind of that middle part of the season to live up to

00:49 the DB mantra.

00:51 How much of a prove it season is this for the secondary as a whole, do you feel?

00:55 >> I feel like really internally it's just be the best we can be and

00:59 let everything else sort itself out.

01:01 So we don't care about the hype and the hate and all that.

01:05 We're just working within ourselves and the outcome will sort itself out.

01:10 So we're just trying to be the best we can be.
