Transcript

00:00 >> How's Charlotte, just describe the experience so far in the city.

00:05 >> I've been on the scooter, the Lime scooter, so I've been riding around Charlotte a little bit, so kind of getting used to it.

00:11 >> How would you rate this year for you individually?

00:16 >> My year is kind of average, I didn't play to my capabilities, so.

00:21 >> Do you have that feeling throughout the year, and maybe that you watch film and the next game you go, I gotta be better or whatever?

00:28 How do you prepare for an entire year, expectations and self scouting and things like that?

00:35 >> Every game I just watch my effort and I just know next year I gotta play a lot better, definitely if I wanna make it, so.

00:44 >> Sean, I know you've been asked a million times, but what changes for

00:48 you when it's a quarterback that you don't have much game up for

00:53 you, or you've gotta come back and in high school, you'll just guess?

00:58 >> He's a fast quarterback, so he kinda plays like Garrett, and Garrett, he runs the ball a lot.

01:03 So we stop the run and then just respect our DBs and stop the pass.

01:07 >> How much does that help you when you're like, we go up against Garrett every day, maybe this will be good?

01:12 >> I wouldn't say it makes it easier, cuz Garrett makes it hard, so we just gotta be ready for it.

01:18 >> How do you prep for a bowl game, the bowl opponent?

01:21 Is it longer than what a usual week to week opponent is, or do you try to not keep it down?

01:26 >> I would say it's kinda like camp, but not like camp.

01:30 I would say it's more relaxed, and it's really just focus on fundamentals, and

01:34 it's really just staying in shape to be able to play football.

01:38 >> I know to his point, there's a lot of unknowns, right?

01:39 >> Yeah. >> For this game,

01:40 looking at the way the UFC's currently constructed them.

01:43 What are the strengths that you see from the people who you've had?

01:47 >> They have a great running back.

01:49 Don't really know much about the quarterback.

01:51 Old line blocks good a little bit in the run game.

01:54 We just gotta beat him, stop the run, and then stop the pass, win the game.

01:57 >> Got a lot of family coming in from Bluefield?

02:02 >> My mom, dad's coming in today, and my grandfather lives here, so.

02:05 >> Visit Charlie?

02:06 >> Yeah.

02:07 >> It's an easier trip from Bluefield to here?

02:08 >> Yeah, two hour drive, two hour drive.

02:11 >> Do you get to see your grandfather much?

02:13 >> I've seen him Monday, yesterday at practice, or Sunday.

02:20 Sunday, I think.
