00:00 He pushed me over, thought I was a score, so it's part of the game.
00:05 Thought of me personally, bad car, so life is a DB.
00:09 That's what it is.
00:10 >> What is starting to go wrong?
00:13 Typically, you're a very technically sound corner, but
00:16 some things aren't happening.
00:18 What's going on today?
00:20 >> I feel like I was very sound today.
00:22 I mean, besides one play, the one with 11, we caught that out or
00:27 whatever else on me, I guess, that I blew.
00:29 But the most part I think today was technically sound, obviously.
00:33 They made some plays or whatever, but it's hard when you gotta play a game.
00:39 Russ and I mean, life is a DB.
00:44 I'm gonna keep stepping every time.
00:46 So I'll be back in.
00:47 >> Was that play with Pippen, that was basically.
00:51 >> Yeah, he just gave me a double move.
00:56 I mean, I said, if you want everything,
00:59 they're gonna try to do double moves on you.
01:00 So that's what I gotta start expecting out of this.
01:04 >> You feel like you're starting to see that more often?
01:07 >> That's the only way they can get over me.
01:08 It's like, keep running double moves.
01:11 >> So what's happening on that?
01:12 Is it a matter of like you're getting clubs, your eyes in the backfield,
01:14 you're sitting on the sticks?
01:15 Or what's- >> I mean,
01:17 it just depends on the situation.
01:19 It could be third down, you gotta play the sticks.
01:21 I mean, it really just depends on the situation, what coverage you're on.
01:26 And all that, so that's what we're dealing with.
01:29 >> Trayvon said he was coaching over the half time or something?
01:33 >> Yeah, I mean, he said he just wanted us to be aggressive and do a challenge.
01:37 And like I said, it's a thin line between playing aggressive and
01:41 like you said, we're doing double moves too.
01:43 So I don't know what else I could do.
01:47 Like I said, I could be better with my eyes, I guess.
01:50 >> What's frustrating like the defense as a whole?
01:53 I know you guys have been on the field a lot of times on third down,
01:57 had trouble stopping the run, and what was that like in game?
02:01 >> I mean, we just gotta be better as a whole, all 11.
02:05 This is something new for us.
02:06 Usually we've been good on third down, stopping the run.
02:09 So we just gotta watch the film and see where we can be better at.
02:12 >> Early in the game, there was a deep shot, but once it downs on the side,
02:14 I know you guys were on the counter for it.
02:16 What happened on that play?
02:17 >> Yeah, they ran like a dagger with a seven.
02:20 We just threw a deep, I was kinda playing the dagger,
02:24 the big, you know what I'm saying?
02:26 So we just threw a deep.
02:28 So- >> Did the PI remind you at all of
02:31 the play against the Eagles last year where you got hurt?
02:33 It seemed like that's what kind of similar.
02:35 >> Yeah, it was similar.
02:37 I thought, just like I said, I thought that was a bad call.
02:39 Cuz if anybody knows the rule, you gotta be square to DB and
02:43 the receiver runs through you, there shouldn't be a PI cuz you can stand your ground.
02:47 So like I said, that's just how you gotta play, that's how the DB,
02:51 that's the life we gotta play.
02:52 >> Christian, do you feel like you pressed it off this season?
02:55 Do you feel like you pressed it off trying to make a play this season?
02:59 >> Press, like to- >> Yeah, just,
03:00 maybe trying to do a little bit more, trying to play too hard.
03:04 >> Nah, I'm trying to play within the defense.
03:07 And like I said, just being locked in throughout the whole game,
03:11 I see that's what the team's gonna do.
03:13 They're gonna try to rock me to sleep.
03:15 I'm covering them all game and they just gonna rock me to sleep, go away, go away,
03:19 go away, and then you just gotta be ready for that one play.
03:22 And it seems like I just keep giving up those one or two plays a week.
03:26 And I just gotta be better.
03:28 >> So as a corner.
