Transcript
00:00 >> Yeah, I mean, I'm not too disappointed.
00:02 Like I said, I mean, last time I was like this is gonna be a rivalry for a long time.
00:06 I'm gonna see him next year.
00:07 So hope he get better.
00:09 I'm gonna see him next year.
00:10 That's all I was gonna say about him.
00:11 But with T Higgins is next man up.
00:13 He had a great game last week.
00:15 Hopefully they put me on them and I can do what I usually do and
00:18 lock these guys up.
00:19 >> How different is it covering him versus Jamar?
00:21 I know Jamar probably has a little better speed, but T is,
00:24 he saw that catch against the Vikings at the end there.
00:26 Not too many receivers that size, body control, I guess.
00:30 >> Yeah, like you said, that size and that body control,
00:32 he could go get it and make a splash play like he did.
00:34 So that's gonna be fun for me, especially I feel like the ball's gonna be thrown to
00:38 him a lot, so I'll get a lot of targets.
00:40 Coach T always say I'm gonna be in the kitchen, so yeah, I'm excited for that.
00:43 >> How much has the Bengals offense changed from the last time you guys saw
00:47 them, they were still playing Browning, but just how have they evolved since then to now?
00:52 >> Just that three game stretch, they use 30 a lot more.
00:55 He's been in the mix.
00:56 He's been playing pretty good.
00:57 They've really put a ball in the running back's hands.
00:59 I know the last time we played, they didn't, and
01:01 they emphasized that they will and they have been.
01:04 So that was just a tone setter for when they play us, and we know that and
01:08 we're ready for that, so I feel like we're preparing for that.
01:11 >> Is there, when you're learning, or is there, is there a trade off where
01:14 bell indications, the analytics, eye tests, you're succeeding at this level,
01:19 you're getting penalties, is that your game?
01:21 Do you have to pull that back, or is that just a byproduct of,
01:24 I'm gonna play my game, and if I get a flag every once in a while,
01:26 it's worth doing my game, or does that make sense?
01:30 >> Yeah, I know what you're trying to say.
01:32 I feel like they find their guys, and then you're kind of targeted, but
01:37 I don't feel like I'm not doing anything different than any other DB in the league
01:41 right now, but I'm not gonna let that alter my game.
01:43 I know what I got going on.
01:45 I feel like I'm doing a good job.
01:46 And once you start second guessing your ability, you start playing bad, and
01:49 I'm not gonna let that happen.
01:50 So if I get a flag, it's whatever, next play, and we're gonna keep working.
