00:00 It's a natural transition for him and I think it really helped him that he
00:03 understands coverage, he understands how to play,
00:06 main to main coverage, he understands where his help is.
00:09 I think he really understands that part of that position
00:13 better than guys that were trained as linebackers.
00:16 I think he just understands that.
00:19 He's got that skill set, but then you have to be big and
00:21 physical enough to play in the box.
00:23 And you have to be a guy that when you see big sets can hold up in a gap and
00:29 hold up against pulling linemen and tight ends and big people.
00:32 And so he's just got that unique skill set that can do it all.
00:37 And that transitions like most.
00:41 I mean, he didn't play great week one, played better week two,
00:44 played better week three, and probably played his best game week four.
00:48 And he just keeps getting better and better every single week.
00:50 And I expect that same thing to happen through the course of the year.
