Levi Drake Rodriguez just your your preseason as a whole how are you feeling about preseason training camp however went yeah man oh it was a it was an awesome Journey you know I had a lot of bets in the room uh got to learn from them uh got to soak up information you know and just be a sponge um got a great room some great coaches uh this facility is awesome this coaching staff is awesome so just very grateful for um this position that I'm in the hard work that I put in you know just putting it in the Lord's hands really plays you made in games how much do you feel like that helps just when it's other teams this game is about production you know so that's what we want to do it uh week in and week out so um how to get better from the previous week is is is a forte um getting better in practice you know stacking days and practice so um that's what I'm focus on stacking days where do you feel like you improved the most or grow grew the most last six or seven weeks here yeah oh my goodness uh ball about ball um just about the sport you know my my football IQ went up tremendously yeah so it's a whole different game everybody's like a a freaking Playbook so that is so cool just picking brains and you know there's thousands and thousands of snaps between players in here so um that is that is wisdom right there so um just soaking that all up is it's pretty cool how do you how do you kind of find the right moments to ask guys for advice or pick their brains yeah I just ask honestly yeah because someone else might be thinking the question too so uh I just ask questions I've always been like that I'm not very good at raising my hand so I just blur it out sometimes so never been good at that but I asked yeah it's been an active uh preseason for you guys up front you know able to hold him to only three points get off the field a bunch today just how much pride did you guys take in closing out the preseason man that's freaking awesome three points that's crazy that's good work man so uh that just shows how hard we worked um up front you know and as a as a defense collectively you know so got a lot more work to do um trying to be like that the whole season you know so got to keep stacking days right so yes sir really strong start just just what worked so Jaren Hall well for you out the game uh just a lot of Rhythm you know we ran the ball really well first down so hats off to our all line our backs they ran hard Great Cuts so we're just in great second Downs um manable third downs and we just started with you know with the tempo up front you know they move the line of scrimmage and that just makes things really easy do that Kevin was describing how much he's seen you grow in this system and and it showing up in plays like that and get on Rhythm and timing where where would you say you've grown the most just realizing that you know the preparation ends when you step on the field and then the focus on the field is to play as fast as you can you know obviously play slow in your mind um when you need to and play faster than you do but just my body my legs my feet you know heale talks about feet and eyes all the time so just playing faster in terms of that feet and I being in the right place and I feel like I've started to get a groove of you know what that truly means need have to do that and you really feel it on third Downs maybe 100% third Downs especially you know it's way you play calls a way you down you want to convert sometimes you got to put the ball into places so um but especially then you got to play fast but you got to play smart what do those long drives do for you when you have this long D just gives a lot of Rhythm for the next drives to come you know when you start out with 16 plays you just realize you can move the ball you can convert you know it's not just you know you'd love to have chunk plays and be out after one play right but to be able to continue to convert continue to convert just builds a lot of you know a lot of confidence the third Downs that come jar when you're having to make decisions in terms of invading a rush bailing out of the pocket how much do you feel like you kind of grown into there I think you know getting there quicker you know when you scramble it's got to be timely um but you also got to make sure through your progressions I mean there's you know with that being said there's definitely a feel to it it's hard to explain or put in words you know there's just times where you feel the danger and you you you know see light or you see grass and you just go so it's it's definitely an art I think for for quarterbacks to just find a way to out um and to do it while you take care of the ball know two hands the ball always able to third QB to throw a TD to Trish in this PR yeah that's that's the thing right you know Trish being in the end zone so he's such a good player um you know he led the way out there you on that receiving Court you know I said this to myself it was fun to be able to play with him for a couple drives how do you just the next couple days here is it's the NFL you know it's the NFL you see it from from close friends who have come and gone um you know from teamates and you hear from other people been in the league it's it's a crazy League you never know if you expect good or bad so you know for me it's just you know enjoying the day off tomorrow and just see what happens you guys want M's backing up here J is that that your mind at all today saying hey this is my best chance to put something I no I mean it is at times right you always think that stuff you know you know without thinking about it right it's always there but I mean it was just focus on today's game want to go through know that was my responsibility it's all I need to focus on make sure I kept the ball in play and you know you let the results play Dwight McGlothern uh just uh take us through today's today's game showing up on fourth down run support and then the QB pressure there on the blits I'm just trying to make sure I do my job and help out the team just coming together and just putting it on film the last week that we have so just coming out here and enjoying with the guys what did where have you felt like you've grown the most through the last couple of months over training camp preseason my my confidence I've been just going out there taking it day by day just making sure I do every little thing right making sure I be on means on time making sure I'm getting extra treatment on my body and things like that and just learning The Playbook just action veterans and help when you make some plays PR season like we have how much does that help confidence for the next time just I'm just so ready to do it the next play and just be consistent I feel like since I've been here it's just going trying to make sure I One play at a time and make sure I win each row that's the goal when you're playing corner I mean we've seen this training camp too but in terms of the Run support or you're able to kind of make a decisive move and to get a tackle for loss what goes into doing that well um just making sure I I put my put my body on the line for this team just making sure um the defense come together and stop um we needed them stops them stops I need to make this opportunity for me to show my ability and be able to put myself in a position to be on this roster so every time I go out there I try and make the best of it just helping my teammates did you guys get a sense today that there were going to be a number of corner blitzes it seemed like you had a number of chances to all a lot of you had a chance to get up um it was a safety Blitz changed it it's my turn to go so I yeah so fourth now had to make the play had to stand them up what's uh the mind sat there hanging on he's a pretty big quarterback yeah I say I said uncaught him he is a big bird for sure for sure um I say just I really wanted the sack it was my first time being in that um position for sure um we got off the field that's all it matters um making sure making sure really I just got to get him on the ground next time he's big for sure I was hanging up my for my life I just got you by like 45 lbs or so something cuz whenever I went up there I was like yeah this easy tackle make sure don't jump off my feet go and just tackle had him then it felt like a long time whenever I was on the ground I was like yeah let me go ahead and get him down too so yeah we was able to get off the field then that's a victory for us it looked like a long time from the first box too who are you telling it felt like a long time was that I mean looked like when you came off the field there you looked a little frustrated was that just cuz you wanted the sack um we got off the field um I should showed more celebration but to me I just feel like that's what we're supposed to do like there no there not a who that's what we're supposed to do I mean we come out there every day at practice and show out you know so just being prepared for this moment throughout the whole week that's the best thing how do you approach the next few days here as you're kind of waiting to figure out what your Faith's going to be letting God take over um getting my body back healthy and whatever happens it happens um to me any decision that's going to be made it is a good decision and once again God is the best person ever so I'm just having my faith in him on not letting me feel no type of way or being down or anything just embracing all the feelings and um emotions that's come with it as you go into it just the the work you've done the work you've kind of shown in in the games and then in the training camp does that kind of give you some confidence as you go into it um yeah for sure but I'll say my personality for sure um I feel like um I'm come off to people in a positive way um I bring good energy if you're feeling low I'm always going to be high if you having a bad day I come and say hey what's up know get a laugh in I'm just bringing positive energy and then also showing it on the field that's the best part about it and um I know that I'm very amazing at that I'll say so I just got to make sure I take one day at a time buddy
