00:02 >> For you, how valuable was my weekend since the return technique and
00:05 fundamentals and just kind of evaluating what you guys have done through four games?
00:10 >> It was good, looking back on the film, seeing the things we had to correct and
00:14 overall as a defense, it didn't impact me as much.
00:17 Just seeing things I need to work on, coming out to the field,
00:21 working on other things, small steps, things that I need to do.
00:25 Creating good habits, especially me,
00:27 I think I've done a lot of good things over the last couple of weeks.
00:31 Big, big, great having about it, it was good.
00:33 Even gained your help as well, so it was great to have them.
00:38 >> Are you a guy that likes to watch a lot of your own film,
00:40 evaluate yourself in that way, or do you just kind of lean on coaches or team?
00:45 >> I like to watch myself and then just another team that I'm about to play or
00:50 just other corners as well.
00:52 It depends on, I guess it's like certain days I'm in on how I feel.
00:58 But normally I watch myself a lot,
01:00 other TVs that I look up to, things of that nature.
01:03 And then as well, watching the different offices and their schools.
01:08 >> And I'm sorry, and
01:09 then you took away from the first four individually speaking for yourself?
01:13 >> Well, there's just different techniques that I need to improve on and
01:16 things of that nature.
01:18 I'm not a small that can help me have better coverage or
01:22 better tackle, maybe different angles.
01:26 >> What kind of stuff have you seen from Virginia Tech on film?
01:28 What are you guys gonna have to do on Saturday to limit their offense?
01:31 >> It's gonna be a physical game, we're gonna have to tackle, cover our guys.
01:35 Of course, just like every other game, but it's gonna be a dogfight.
01:39 We know they like to run the ball, we might have to come up and tackle.
01:42 >> Drones remind you of anybody?
01:43 >> Say that again? >> Their quarterback remind you of
01:45 anybody in particular?
01:46 >> I just know he's a big body guy.
01:50 I just know that just looking at him on film,
01:54 they like to run the ball, they're using it in the right game.
01:58 And things of that nature, don't remind me of somebody in particular, but
02:02 we definitely know that he's gonna be part of the game,
02:04 trying to have a big impact on the boys.
02:07 >> What's your experience been with Virginia Tech?
02:09 >> It's been, it was Robbie, whatever.
02:13 But it was back before, it was a good competition.
02:18 And it's just time to work in and get the hand on your day.
02:22 >> Where do they like to play, what's their style?
02:26 >> They like to run the ball.
02:28 They, as history, just wanna run the ball, they take deep shots.
02:33 They just wanna be known as a physical team.
02:35 That's what we gotta become and make sure they're not.
02:38 >> [INAUDIBLE]
02:49 >> And we just need to,
02:51 these games that we're close to, we just need to make sure that we have our
02:55 full game, our best game.
02:57 And we just need to make sure we play each quarter, each foul,
03:01 each play our best in our ability.
03:03 And when we do that, then we can have a better overall game as well.
03:07 >> Was it fun to play all this year in Clemson, a big space like that?
03:13 >> It was fun to play in every game.
03:16 It was fun going out there and playing with the guys, and competing, and
03:20 just dominating each other.
03:21 Football is just fun, so no matter who you play, even when you're in the practice,
03:27 it's fun to be playing with this guy, this one team.
03:29 No matter what, it's fun to be able to have the opportunity to play football.
03:34 >> How excited are you for your home games after the one from the road?
03:38 >> It's great, having that energy, our fan base.
03:41 We wanna take that to the manager, us, and win away these last couple games.
03:47 There's ups and downs to it, but just glad to be back home and
03:51 get a win in front of our fans.
03:53 >> Coach Fuller and Coach Ravaldo talk about the defense,
03:57 not waiting until the back's consoled, coming out and being aggressive and
04:02 dominating the start line.
04:04 What's this this year, and what do you guys have to do?
04:06 >> Just to have the mindset that we have right now, rather than later on.
04:11 Just each and every play, for sure.
04:14 All that matters, you don't know what play you're gonna play,
04:17 it might cost you a game, or things of that nature.
04:19 So just this play, believe this, don't worry about the future,
04:23 things of that nature.
04:24 This play might make a big difference in the game.
04:27 So just having the right mindset to play each play, and
04:31 it might be the last one, so.
04:33 >> Can you talk about going up against Johnny Wilson all the time in practice,
04:36 one on ones, how he's helped you as a player, and
04:38 just what it's like going up against a guy that sticks up?
04:41 >> Going against him is good, just cuz there's little things each and
04:44 every play that you gotta make sure you do when it comes to technique-wise.
04:48 Things of that nature, so it just helps you when it comes to having the right
04:51 technique, and making sure you're playing the ball, playing hands.
04:54 There's a lot of good looks that he gives you, and
04:56 it just prepares you for the game as well.
04:58 Just makes you a better player overall.
