00:00Johan, we've seen Demarcus Covington start to put his stamp on this defense as the play caller and the coordinator, although it's just preseason.
00:07Looks like he's going to be aggressive. We talked to your teammate Josh Uche earlier, and he said that's one thing about Demarcus Covington is he's all gas, no break.
00:15Do you now have a defensive coordinator and play caller who you feel like errs towards being an aggressive guy in that realm?
00:23That's definitely something that DC wants to bring to the table as far as being aggressive and playing to our strengths.
00:30So it definitely plays into our hands a little bit and plays into our favor for sure.
00:35So it's definitely good to see him bringing that with him, and we definitely adapt him well.
00:40We're just excited to kind of get things going and just constantly improving.
00:43Like I said, ironing out all the details because obviously you're going to have to play some great situations in football too as well as have that aggressive mentality.
00:51Well, and Juwan, I wanted to ask you, following up from Hart's question, kind of how you fit into potentially a much more aggressive scheme.
01:01Is it good for you, or might it challenge you in a different way?
01:06While others are being aggressive, you're kind of the eye sort of watching everything, or do you get to play in the fun and games of being aggressive as well?
01:16Oh, no, we ain't leaving nobody out.
01:18When we say aggressive, everybody's going to have their time to kind of let their head down and get going.
01:23But we all just playing to one accord, a whole lot of different bells and whistles and things like that.
01:27But we also, like I said, we're just going to play good, tough situations in football too.
01:32We're going to shoot our shots, but we ain't going to do a recklessness.
