The best word I can use for the last month is "growth." I've gotten better and better from the day I came in and started playing the position that I've been playing. I'm more comfortable in the scheme. I don't want to say that I'm too happy with where I'm at because obviously I want to keep getting better. I have a long ways to go from where I want to be, but it's been a fun start.

I can feel that I have more confidence in what I'm doing. It allows me to play faster without hesitating as much while I'm out there. It's important to trust my eyes and my instincts so I can make more plays. The game slows down when you know what you're doing.
