00:10 >> Pretty hurt, when I got here, he was one of the first guys to come up and
00:22 greet me, so we got a pretty cool relationship.
00:24 I called him the day after and we talked for 30, 40 minutes.
00:27 So just hurting to not have one of my brothers out here to be able to play fast.
00:32 We talked about it and walked through it and
00:34 I just take the notes just in case I get put there just in case.
00:37 Of course, whatever this defense needs from me,
00:39 whatever the organization needs from me, I'm willing to do so.
00:42 I feel like that wouldn't be a drop off for me.
00:44 I feel like that'd be some rush, but at the end of the day, we got time for us.
00:47 So I feel like I'd just be able to slide back in, be able to cover.
00:50 So I've been working on my off cover, so I feel like that'd be-
00:52 >> Yeah, definitely,
00:53 definitely was one of the best moments of that day.
00:56 So once I made that hit, I got up, I received all the energy from the stadium.
01:02 Just got to excel from there.
01:04 Now we're working on turnovers and getting interceptions.
01:06 So like you said, once they get it out of the way, announcing the pass,
01:09 now we gotta work on turning the ball over for the defense.
