Minnesota safety Harrison Smith was let down at times by an experienced yet struggling cornerback group.
This year, the Vikings got younger at corner, but the unit still has its share of mistakes.
Smith talked about the new-look cornerback group with reporters recently. Here’s what he said:
“The thing is there’s a ton of positives,” Smith said, via ESPN’s Courtney Cronin. “That, to me, is what you focus on. You focus on the positives. Guys play with confidence. We play with each other where we want to go out there. No matter what the situation is, whether we got them backed up or they’re in the red zone or whatever, you want to be out there on the field because you’re going to make a difference.”
Smith said that as a defensive player, you’re going to get beat sometimes, that’s just how it is.
“Go to the next play, win the next play and don’t let it affect your confidence, your belief in the team, just keep doing your thing,” Smith said, via Cronin. “That’s really the only way that you can play.”
