Getting his trust back
What's the last couple of months been like for you? Obviously it was a difficult time, but now the team is really counting on you to be a big part of what they're trying to do defensively?



It's been really hard for me. But now that spring is going on, I'm trying to let that be in the past. I'm trying to go on and make sure I get all my trust back. I'm still working on it.

Are you playing mostly free safety or corner?

Mostly free safety.

With Reggie and Marcus being gone and Nic being hurt, how is it going out there with so many young players?

Things are coming along real good. The young guys haven't played in that many series. But they're back there hustling to the ball and really trying to get the calls down.

As much as you played at both free safety and corner, do you find yourself talking to the younger players more, trying to get them in the right spots?

We go over everything before we go onto the field. Then when we go onto the field I really don't have the chance to talk to the young guys, but I try to do my best to talk with them, say something to them.

What are some of the things you want to improve on?

Just my technique, how to disguise things a little bit better. And just be more disciplined.
