S Bobby McCain

(You don’t get to show a lot of the defenes during the preseason but can you see how it’s all going to come together when you do that?) – “Yeah, for sure. You can see – we don’t show anything during the preseason but we have a lot of different guys that can play a lot of different positions, including myself. We’re going to definitely use that to our advantage.”

(As the preseason comes to a close, obviously you guys have established leaders. In your eyes, how is a leader established and developed here?) – “To be honest, you don’t have to be a ‘rah, rah’ guy. You just have to do the right things: do what you’re told, do the techniques that they teach you and understand that it’s bringing people along with you. If you bought in, have other people buy in with you. Just understand that it takes a team, it takes a unit, it takes cohesively together, it takes us all.”

(Talking to a couple of the guys, they mentioned your name specifically as one of those guys they might lean on to be a leader on this team. How do you accept that role, knowing that guys lean on you?) – “I just try to come in every day and go to work and do the best I can and give everything I have. Rather it’s vocally, physically, mentally. No matter what it is, just try to be the best version of yourself and be the best you. That’s what we try to do here each and every day, and try to get better. If that means I’ve got to tell a guy ‘Hey, get up and let’s get going.’ That’s what I’ve got to do. No one is going to sit around. You don’t have to be a certain age to lead. No. You’ve just got to do the right things, come in ready to work and do your job, take care of your business.”

(The motivational messages you see on the walls around the locker room, what does that do for you guys on a day-to-day basis?) – “Just understanding that it gives you – Like I said, it is a new coaching staff and we’re all coming together and we’re building chemistry. Understanding what their beliefs are, understanding what’s important to them and understanding what’s important to us, it should be the same. When you see those words and you see the things around the locker room, you see things like ‘be comfortable being uncomfortable,’ and things like that. That’s just telling you that – I’m in a new position. So if they’re telling you to be comfortable being uncomfortable, understand that you have to be the best at it. That’s my job and that’s my role.”
