CFTV: Rocco Becht on difference between himself a year ago and now

is there still going to be a little bit of an adjustment process for you once you start playing those live snaps like with the helmet and communication and all that yeah I feel like there's there's still going to be you know some bumps and bres just along the way but um I feel like that's what the first games are for that's what we cor is for is just to get those things out of the way and you know know handle them for week two so how much experience have you had like with that so far and getting an idea out yeah we we've done the H communication a good amount throughout fall Camp so I feel like we have a good you know a good outlook on what we want to do and how we want to communicate things do you remember what it felt like getting ready in the tunnel for week one last season first start yeah I think I was like nervous as hell so um this year I I don't think I'm nervous I think it's just the anxious or getting ready for the game and getting you know wanting to get to the game and play against another team instead of our defense and so I think I'm just excited to be out there um obviously there'll be butterflies but I think it's just because of the you know every all the fans and all the excitement around it and so I'm excited to be out there and play talk about that but what how unique is that for week one any year to be just getting to the game versus you know when you get into two or 10 yeah there's there's going to be a lot of emotions a lot of excitement and you know that could hurt a team and that can you know that could help a team so in our case hope you know we want it to help us we don't want to go out there and show too much emotion you know too much excitement because he could get us out of our lane and you know just out of our position in detail so going out there with a you know a steady head um you know level minded you know we just got to go out there do our job continue to do what we do instead of you know over preparing ourselves and getting too excited what's it like for you guys just the mentality of knowing you're just going to go to practice for five or six weeks straight versus okay now you're actually getting ready for a game yeah I think you know in in the classroom and on the field the mentality changes and you know I feel like today was a good practice of just you know it's hot outside um it's going to be hot on Saturday and we're running through a bunch of plays trying to get as many in as we can so sometimes there may be times where we don't see the defense as well the line might not see the line but you know you just got to work through it you know you know you got to think fast um and there's going to be times on Saturday where that happens and so overcoming those things um watching the film again and preparing for it for Saturday you know we're going to be able to we need to be able to do that back to the nerve you felt last year was part of that the fact knowing that you had to earn the trust of your teammates and the coaches knowing what you were capable of and once you earn that those things start to go away and yeah extends into the season I do think it was you know part you know being my first game in college and also part two just be having that trust in my teammates and gaining that trust um and so I feel like this year you know we're just a whole year from that and so I feel like I have gained the trust from everybody and so we're we're on a whole different level of just communication and um trusting what each other sees and so I'm excited for sat how does the mood around this team feel different compared to the same time last year um I think there's a you know confidence that's bigger than what we had last year you know last year we were trying just you know to win the game uh and move on and so this year I feel like we have a bigger goal and that's in set for you know later on in the season uh in January but uh for this team we want to go out and you know dominate every single game and you know take a win every single week and whatever it takes um we're trying to you know put as many points up on the scoreboard each and every week and we're just worried about that you talked about the nerves of last year versus this year were any of those having to come off Brock P into the Rocko era um I don't think so because I think I'm I'm just trying to play my game uh trying to be myself trying to be Rocko and um you know I don't think that was on my mind at all and so I think I just got to go out there play my game and you know I feel like I did so this year I'm just continuing to play my game and you know be myself
