We try to earn that confidence we earn That trustion in one another um you know Because you need that for the season Um so I think you know that's something That we're still building on I'm Building on I think that those are a big Part of OTs is going to be a big part of Training camp to establish that that Trust that conference that we have in One another and that's a process so I Feel like for me I try to attack that Every day you know do things you know us As a unit I mean individually try to Instill trust and confidence in one Another Um you know so I think that's that's a Big goal for us right they seem really Comfortable right now is there a Particular moment since you know where You feel like Um you know I Think for me the mentality has been the Same um you know for me I want to um Again there's a lot of I want to Continue to improve on you know that's You know I want to do everything I can To help the team you know but I think Just being embraced by the locker room You know that means a lot to me um you Know there's a lot of guys here that had A lot of success and played a lot of Snaps at NFL football and them you know Welcoming me who's never played played a Snap before I'm you know trying to prove
Himself and trying to do everything he Can to help the team you know them Embracing me and you know all the other Rookies all the free agents all the guys That are new here Um you know it's a it's a new group but Um you know it doesn't feel like you're In the locker room doesn't feel like You're in the Huddle um so you know I Think we've just all grown more Comfortable with one another you know There's still a lot of you know stuff we Want to iron out stuff we want to Improve on and get better at but you Know I think we've just been able to Lead on each other for that you Mentioned a mini camp and OTAs being a Time to build everybody up does the Bring you down part kind of build you Down does that happen in Spartanburg a Little bit is that the next step of Really kind of chipping away at some Things well um you know I haven't I Haven't been yet so um you know I guess We'll see I think from what I've been Able to observe is you know we we rely On each other and lean each other to Pick each other up and I think it's Great because we all have a group in a Locker room that holds each other that You know we hold ourselves accountable You know if you know when we mess up or You know we don't do things the right Way you know I think it's great to see
We're the first people you know to be Hard on ourselves to hold ourselves Accountable you know we're not just you Know things don't go well it's not just Whatever is coach going to get on me Um you know how is someone else you know We're the first to you know to react to Try to want to be better um so I think It's great to be able to be in a locker Room to where you know first and Foremost we hold ourselves accountable We look in the mirror first and then I Think because of that us all kind of Having that mentality Um you know we can lean on each other to Pick each other up we can see someone And we know that they care enough to you Know when when something happens Um that they're you know they're they're Upset or they're they're mad themselves We know that so we don't have to try to I don't feel like we have to supplement It we have to try to you know Manufacture and you know we we have that Drive within we which is a great locker Room to be a part of so for us I feel Like as a team we just lean on each Other to pick each other up and and try To move towards that Collective goal Right that's what that said this this Phase is sort of kind of like learning How to practice or training camp with That What's your outlook towards mistakes
From a learning staff yeah um you know Mistakes are going to happen but that Doesn't mean we have to be um you know Satisfied with it um you know we Understand you know it's it's a tough Game you know on offense we're going up Against a great defense every day Um you know Vice President we try to Challenge ourselves um you know we Understand the competition that happens So we understand that mistakes are going To be made but you know we don't get Complacent in that um you know when Those happen we try to address them we Try to get better at them um just Because we know what's going to happen Doesn't mean that you know we we can't Have urgency about it Um so you know I think like you said Mistakes are going to come and you know It definitely hasn't been a you know a Perfect OTAs for for anyone for any unit for any Individual but we understand that that's Going to be the case but you know again At the same time you know it's on us to Hold you know hold ourselves accountable Coaches do a great job of holding us Accountable us going back watching the Tape learning about it I'm talking about It and then you know we try to do what We can to avoid those mistakes moving Forward [Music]
Like you were talking to yourself so What were you thinking or saying uh yeah I mean incomplete pass um you know again Another one of those mistakes that we All have you know as the goal is you Know the Red Zone to score you know Every pass you want to be completed um You know it's we know it's you know I'm Aware that's not going to happen but Again I'm not going to be you know I'm Not going to be you know complacent About that I'm you know we're all Striving for for Perfection um you know I'm I'm it's really great to be around a Group of guys that feel the same way About it um so you know just like any Other pass you know it sucks when it Doesn't get completed um but you know It's you know you learn from it and then You move on and you know you turn the Page and now you have to figure out how To make the next play work do you have Kind of a personal timeline or I guess Schedule that you have yourself on and If so what stage do you feel like you're At right now Um you know I think for me it's not I'm Not a Not huge as far as a long-term you know Goals long-term uh checklist or timeline For me I try to take things day by day And I base things you know day by day Off of the people I'm around I mean off Of my coaches off of my teammates of you
Know what are we going to get better at Tomorrow you know how did this practice Go what do you want to improve at what Well that we can stay consistent on what Stuff didn't go as well that we want to Improve on and I think that's a Day-by-day thing I think that changes Every day Um you know so for me I don't think There's a specific you know one small Detail I'm going to be focused on for a Long period of time you know sometimes It ends up like that sometimes you know It's something that's consistent it's a Reoccurring theme and you end up focused On it for a while but you know for me I Take things day by day I lean on my Coaching staff and my teammates to Figure out what I I got to get better at What we as you have to get better at and I think that's really a day by day Reevaluation right what's the biggest Difference in you today than a month and A half ago when you walked in the door Um you know I think really it's just you Know the comfortability I have and you Know big things of that goes to my Coaches staff who's you know who's you Know just a lot of a lot more reps on Tape a lot of great coaching you know a Lot of understanding a lot of more time In the system and you know my teammates You know again embracing me you know Pushing me holding me accountable you

Moving to Charlotte North Carolina
Events, Life, Sports, Weather, News
Whether you are in the mood for a night filled with heated sports battles or chart-topping musicians Charlotte has something for everyone. There are also plenty of great lakes to visit, making outdoor activities a breeze during the warmer months.
One of the main things to consider when deciding on whether or not to move to Charlotte is its climate. While it can get hot and humid in the summer, it is not nearly as bad as some other East Coast cities. The winter can be icy and snowy, but it does not last as long as other parts of the country.
Luckily, there is plenty to do indoors, as well, so you will always have options. Some of the best places to go include museums, breweries, live music and more. Having an active social life is important for most people, and Charlotte has plenty of opportunities to help you stay connected.
Another perk of living in Charlotte is that it is a very affordable city. In comparison to other major cities on the East Coast, it has much lower rent and housing costs. This makes it a popular choice for college students and young professionals alike.
