Seattle Seahawks safety Jamal Adams is being given some extra motivation from some people from his hometown, but now in the way you would think.

As the Dallas-area native gets ready to take on the Cowboys, he's hearing about some chatter from some of the locals.

“I’ve seen a couple things, they said I struggle in coverage, so I can’t wait,” Adams said Thursday, via Brady Henderson of ESPN. “I got a little text from one of my buddies back home. He has the inside scoop on that. So looking forward to it.”

It helps to have friends around to tell you what the locals are saying about you.

Adams will be sure to use this as added motivation to prove the naysayers wrong and prove that he doesn't struggle in coverage. He will have his hands full with the Cowboys receiving corps as powerful as they are, but Adams is ready for the challenge. He wouldn't snitch on who told him about the naysayers in Dallas, however.

“I can’t tell you that, man,” Adams said. “C’mon. I can’t give you the nuggets like that, man. I grew up with a couple guys who are still my brothers, best friends to this day. We talk every day, group messaging. What goes on in Dallas, it always comes back to me. I always find out the scoops. So just a little edge, a little chip on my shoulder to go out there and continue to do what I’m doing. Obviously, things happen. It’s part of the game. And hey, just looking forward to the matchup.”

You know what they say about snitches.
