00:00 >> It helped a lot, a lot of guys I promise, not just me.

00:04 Other received tight ends, then when Pat comes back that'll help us a lot too.

00:09 >> Do you find yourself getting less double coverage?

00:13 >> It really depends on what the defense coordinator of that team wanna do cuz-

00:17 >> Or the DJ back.

00:18 >> The DJ back, I mean, you can still, you never, you see what I mean?

00:20 He can still WV, so it really don't matter.

00:24 But I feel like it's gonna help a lot getting single coverage with him being

00:28 back. >> How the work out in the Rams

00:29 care and source?

00:30 >> It was good.

00:31 >> I mean, same amount you usually get or less double?

00:35 >> Less double for sure.

00:36 Which it was a little shade, the safety would be over there, but

00:40 fully double, less double.

00:41 >> George, how do you guys push each other?

00:43 How would you describe your guys' relationship?

00:46 >> You know what I'm saying?

00:47 Yeah, I'll probably say through entertainment.

00:49 It really, me and him are guys, we talk on a personal basis.

00:54 We really just kinda push each other through that.

00:56 When I got here, he was a great receiver before I even touched the field,

01:00 made the catch or anything like that.

01:01 So we just feed off of personal connection.

01:03 >> George, why is Jacksonville susceptible for the pass?

01:07 I mean, I think they have one of the worst pass,

01:09 especially after the game that they collapsed.

01:11 >> Yeah, I think their D-line, they depend on their D-line a lot.

01:15 With their team, having a lot of first round guys on that D-line,

01:19 that's what they depend on a lot.

01:20 And they kinda hope, you know what I mean?

01:22 Hope, the guys hold that long enough, hope.

01:24 So it's kind of a hope defense.

01:27 >> How familiar are you with Tyson Campbell?

01:29 >> Super familiar, we used to practice every day.

01:31 Same facility, same locker room, kinda like how this is.

01:34 He's a great player.

01:35 >> Walker's one of our guys too, isn't he?

01:38 >> Yeah, yeah, Trayvon's one of our guys too.

01:40 Like I said, he's a great player too.

01:42 Phenomenal, huge, huge guy.
