And so, Derek, as we get back around and talking about football and planning, you know, speaking things into existence.

0:15.0

I talked about it at the beginning of this interview, talking about you in all American fashion.

0:20.5

You know, the difference between good and

0:21.7

great I like to say is do you do it every time out? We've seen you be brilliant in some games.

0:29.3

Can you be brilliant every game? That is about preparation. And so where is Derek Moore

0:35.9

better this year or heading into this year compared to where you ended last year?

0:43.3

Where have you improved?

0:44.3

I'll say where I first I'll say where I improve, you know, first going into camp and probably going to the season, you know, really just taking care of my body.

0:53.3

I feel like last year I probably didn't do much of a good job that the season, you know, really just taking care of my body.

0:58.4

I feel like last year I probably didn't do much of a good job that I could, you know.

1:05.7

And then I would say also, you know, just being more like explosive off like that first step,

1:10.3

you know, like get off and getting off the ball more. I feel like I talk to a lot of, you know, well, I got a lot of feedback from, like, a lot of scouts, and that's pretty much, like, the biggest thing that they wanted to see from, you know, my first step explosion, how quick can I get off the ball? A lot of a lot of them said like the power is there you know the built there everything you know everything look you know perfect you know like you know body wise you know things like that but like how quick how quicker can i be off that ball so that's probably like my main two things, you know, just being healthy and staying healthy,

2:02.0

I have break go out there and just play. I feel like that's always been me, but I feel like I do have a motor inside of me that I can break out. I have break it out before, but, you know, if I can break that out every game, I feel like I'd be dominant.
