00:00I know Christian Pierce out on the field.
00:02Do you feel the pressure you kind of step up as a leader just because you're
00:05the older guy and now in that room?
00:07Yes and no, I mean, you're always going to want to go out there and talk.
00:11You'll be trying to be a leader of the defense as a safety.
00:14So I wouldn't say I feel pressure from it, but no, it sucks not having him out on the field.
00:19You are called to lead, what's your leadership style?
00:22Are you more vocal or lead by example?
00:23I would say lead by example, but I can't be vocal as well.
00:26How much versatility is being asked of you in this early practice compared to last season?
00:32I would say just learning both safety spots, which I still had to do with last season.
00:37So not much difference.
00:39Young group of corners, what have you seen from those guys?
00:42They've been great, especially the young guys.
00:45They stand out, Rock has done very well, TC has done very well, everybody's done well.
00:51What about the flip side, the receivers?
00:53The receivers, same thing, yes, they're all good.
00:56When you get 31 new freshmen on a roster, how do you get to know guys?
01:00Just saying hello to everybody.
01:02You see them in the hallway, say what's up, introduce yourself.
01:06And then I feel like we've always, we kind of mesh just because of that.
01:10Just getting to know a person, just seeing them in the hallway.
01:13What's up, how are you doing, blah, blah, blah.
01:15All right.
01:16How about you.
01:18I'm trying to feel like we're going to be very good.
01:19I'm looking for that, because those are good.
01:19I'm going to be here because we are really good.
01:19Einit is my friend.
01:19I'm looking for the camera.
01:19You guys are listening to me.
01:19And it's going for something else.
