Quincy Williams says Jets training camp was hardest since college | SNY

Intro Scribe like half physical discount was compared to some of the other ones that man been this hard was laughing and joking about it. But man, I ain't been this hard since Matt drills my freshman year of college waking up at 5:30 a.m. It's a hard if it's been it's really like a mental and physical thing because it's coming to the point where you want to be the best every single day toes waking up having that same mentality as like, all right, let's get better today. So it's like finding something to get better at when you're already at that point. I mean not at that point, but you're trying to get to that point but you don't even know what that point look like. So it's like every single day just getting better than you was yesterday How training camp helps that help you as you can see thing goes on just going through an adoring cam like that. Just keeping the same mind said the focus going one of those. So that's one of those things but then there's also one of those things where it's like every week you're getting better. So whatever you got hit on before anything like that putting it out your head and be it. For the next week message that's sent to the locker room What message did it send to the locker room with the head coach for a better because you're a veteran team pretty veteran team makes you guys go through this kind of training can't just kind of taxi Campbell kind of messages and it's day one of those messages that he wants to start fast most importantly and then to be durable throughout the season. That's the main thing. So when we get later in the season where it does gets hard where does get into one of those? I mean those playoff tyrunt's by we're prepared for it. mentally and physically prepared for Why is it important to have a dominating mindset start slow. People are gonna say, oh well, they didn't start played in the preseason. That's what people are. Why does it not matter that you guys are playing in I'm beyond anywhere, but what other people talking about for real like we got out of mindset on how we want things run here. We will focus on the inside noise. That's the most important thing and then trusting our coaching staff Sport Science group weight room training facility things like that then also when we have our joint prices just having that dominate mindset far as like, what are we practicing against each other? Well, we practice against another team and then getting to a point where you're a strongest what I think the court has used as strong as your Like what? I'm not saying that the rookies are like wheat or anything, but I do know there are new to the system and stuff. So just watching those guys come out and perform to the best of their abilities it hell's us or higher standard because we're not playing so the focus is saying like, all right. We have to be the best every like every day just so we can show them how it is to be a pro in this league. So even though you're not playing you see how that mindset every single day like you're ready to play. Doh, How do you get ready to tackle what about tackling and you're obviously one of the best actors on the team and you don't really Tackle. Hey same guys up. So I had to get ready to tackle the regular season with an actual take you guys to the ground man. That's a sweet right now during practice you focus on tracking. That's the most important thing in football like tracking. It's really not even the big hits. There's like real like shocker and things like that the hard part it's the the tracking par. So at practice we always track the near hip and you get in an attack on a position like you're getting ready to make a tackle. The third is just more like you laying off you still have the same mindset as far as like tracking you still tracking the near hip and then So getting your body on the contact next thing out there is taking the person down. So it's not really one of those things where it's like it's going to be hard to turn on real quick and we revive his defense. So we talk about it all the time. We even like celebrating stuff like that after we make big plays and we will I we know for a fact we're making that play So it's the confidence part of the to How do you build on last years success obviously had a great year last year. How do you build how do you build on that? What's the next step for your game? Number one is Lynn last year be last year. That's the most important thing. Thing and now I'm just taking everything moving forward as far as like getting better this year getting better than I was yesterday. So just having that mindset in there. There is no ceiling How do you deal with doubt when you've been doubted before like earlier in your career that you never lose that mindset of like that. You're not there yet, man. There's always going to be dealt. So I feel like I'm always still being doubted. So that mindset is like there's always somewhere to get better because somebody always gonna be down me so my my biggest thing in this year's like leave no doubt. So for me to leave no doubt that and no one feels like I'm not the best linebacker. It's I have to get better every single day. How is the defense better this year What ways do you think this defense might be better than last year? Communication part of a really just being out there and we know each other's jobs better than the other person. It's kind of one of those things. We're all on the same Accord and then on top of that we have the room where we can like just play around and actually a brother. Let's try these real quick you so we know we're supposed to be doing let's try this real quick and then coaches having the mindset to be like what made you do that so it's really like a what we call a player's coach. So it's one of those coaches that comes in is not Like a is by the book Is by The Playbook but actually coming off and be like hey, bro, what made y'all want to work that so then he can install it in the defense. So it's like one of those things What do you see from the offense in terms of you guys have been friends for a while. They're helping you so much with Rogers back there and everything. What do you seen from them in their mind? They have another life are sigh Rogers. They haven't his life are just like the pieces on the offensive line helping us a lot far as I can run it back. Let's be honest breathe my number One running back. I'm first first game. I'm going to get Chris McCarron so far as like his route. He's route ability of the way. He runs a kind of like the same. So me working with him, even after practice like bracelet like show me a couple of things like run a couple of routes liver releases and things like that. It's helped me getting ready for ready for Week 1 and also going to get an errand Go Jack and quarterback. So not really expecting any other quarterback to be giving me like tips like he's gonna give me so obviously Eric Deckers mobility No, no. No, it's a surprising because it's confidence level then. He even he even had things we coming to this island. Hey watch this and he a rollout throw the ball all the way across the field not even looking and it's one of those things. He was like dang. He's still got some tricks up his sleeve. Competition Terms of when you're competing. You're not you know, it was kind of a freak. Oh, you finally get to take a step back and white. Oh, yeah, like the biggest thing is man. You can literally watch where you know plays are going to be at you like so when they come in their formation, we've been practicing every single day. So like we know what formation is going to be but I watch this if they say to come down is over he throwing this thing and soon as it happened was like I told you I told you so it's very fun to watch. So he's like one of those things where you're not holding your breath on the sidelines. You're really just laid. Back relax far as like all right, y'all do what y'all think they're gonna run right here or you really just trying to see if we even talk about the old lineman's like me. My most important thing is I'm the fastest linebacker in the league. So when we talked to the officer lineman, I'd be like listen on this bounce. If you let this linebacker run past you and you never let me run past you like that's a problem. Like I'm gonna be mad because you feel me as far as like on our season stuff man. We got sauce and we got DJ number one Corners you feel me in the league and it's like bro. You let this dude lock you up, bro. We don't want to hear nothing. So is like those type - it's too too far as like on other side of the ball man. You pick off airing. I'm Jana that's just like picking them off in the game. I'm on my body my boss signed and everything. So it's like a competition a competition like you still playing the best being the best. So you're trying to get better every day. Yeah. It's like another step of confidence. So Is the preparation part of it? So we're getting a little bit more prepared with me. You also get a little bit more confident, which means you don't get more relaxed, but you get more like the anticipation that waiting on black man. It's gonna be a different year this year like that. Mama said Aaron Rogers did you do that without exception practice and man? I haven't even got a chance to pick them. But the first day he came here last year though. I got my hand on the ball. I was just too happy. Like I was just so happy but I ain't got a chance to pick him off yet, but I'm telling my first Peak. What is it practice? It's a scrimmage this year next year like the sign that ball because I picked I don't care isn't live live reps live rip. Oh, yeah, there's one of those things like I'm saying, so it's a respect thing like
