Chinn shared his thoughts about how he’s being used in Ejiro Evero’s new defense.
Yeah how you doing Hello everybody How is this new role kind of played out For spring in the summer Um Yeah I mean it's a little bit different Than what has been the past two years uh With the Vera's creativity really Planting my strengths Uh not so far back away from the ball so A little bit closer so that's probably The biggest difference I mean while you are a little bit Closer to the ball you're kind of in Space too are you getting more Comfortable in that kind of aspect of Your game yeah I am Um You know this coaching staff has been Very helpful just as far as you know What to look for Um in the slot stems and everything like That it really taught it from really day One so now being in that role a little Bit since OTAs and now camp for a few Practices uh definitely feeling a lot More comfortable there in that spot Uh yeah it has Um especially just from OTAs to this Point Really because you know before OTAs I Wasn't quite sure where I was going to Be quite yet so really from my summer my Summer off season has changed a lot
Store that you specifically focus on A lot more movement especially just in That slot just really having you know my My routine movement in that area Um you know one thing I really started Doing this whole off season is Pilates That sounds crazy but it's definitely Helped me a lot Um Right now I'm I'm probably Maybe a little bit heavier it kind of You know goes up and down a little bit But Maybe a couple a couple pounds not by Much Um it really focuses on the core Strength and you feel it you know it Starts inside and you feel it all the Way Throughout your whole body it's a big Difference from really everything There's so much you can focus on from Your ankles your core hips shoulders you Know all the above How much is your role involved from what We saw during off season workout so what We're seeing right now Um as compared to OTs Moving around when you did back in the OTAs or it's about the same yeah from OTAs to now yeah I would say it's pretty Similar to what you guys saw there how Did you describe How do I describe it or Define it
Um I mean when when someone asks like if I'm out somewhere and somebody asked me I just I just tell them I play safety It's a lot simpler that way More refined audience Um A nickel Um A dime but You know I feel like there's there's so Many I feel like that just kind of puts it in The Box a little bit Um I mean there's so many areas that you Know if everyone will move me around the Field So just saying I'll just be a nickel you Know It doesn't really do it justice are you Working A combination of both you know I take Things from from both of them but Probably primarily coolly yeah so With that corner group is there anything That like Dante or Jason Yeah I mean we they give feedback we Give feedback to each other all the time And you know that's always very helpful Especially taking it from those guys Um you know DJ who's you know he's done What he's done in the league for a while Now this is the sixth season and JC you Know obviously at the top of the
Cornerback position so just being able To get feedback from those guys and just Keeping a great dialogue in the room is Very helpful for everybody I believe did Earlier this preseason you want to Answer any of the questions people have About you how do you feel you are doing That so far this can Um not really thinking about it really Just taking it day by day and really That's just really been my Approach Um Like I said like you said I know there's There's probably questions out there About what type of player I am what I Can and can do And I'm coming every single day to to Answer those In here a little bit ago he described Something and he used the word tradish Do you think did you think Frank Reich Is the kind of guy who would use a word Like tradish dish I don't even know what that means I didn't know that but I mean hey yeah That's what that's what Coach Wright Would say yeah What it gives to them yeah yeah Um you know hopefully they got a glimpse Of Of what they'll see this season Um You know defensively could be a lot Sharper so I don't want to say that'll
Be the Glimpse exactly but Um definitely coming to work uh Challenging each other every single day That's what we've been doing in practice You know offense wins some defense win Some but at the end of the day we're Just trying to get better People are saying that it feels Different Um Uh I mean Yeah no at the end of the day It's just it's noise at this point in Time Um We know what we have to do we know we Got to show up and Have a an O approach like we haven't Done anything yet so there's still so Much work that we have to put in and so Much work to be done so we can't really Get caught up in that but the energy is Definitely great for sure Thank you
