00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 1: you would make a throw and you kind of like

24
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:24,280

00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 1: the game on a socker. I was a hit in

40
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: the pocket. Gotcha. Did your hamstring feel better this week

41
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 1: or does it feel the same or where's that I

42
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:30,359
Speaker 1: compared to last week? Yeah? Hamstring, hamstring feels good. Um,

43
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: you know, I'll continue to to work on that. Uh,

00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 1: and work to you know, get that, get that healthy

45
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:40,400

Speaker 1: uh to stay on the recovery there. Thanks bro D.

47
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: Did your playing with the hamstring on Sunday at all

48
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 1: lead to you having this ankle injury and your lack

49
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: of did you lack of mobilities of playing to that? No,

50
00:02:58,000 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't. I don't think it did.

51
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:04,359

52
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 1: where where you know I got hit. It had nothing

53
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 1: to do with my hamstring. And I don't think it

54
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: has had any effect on UM on that at all.

55
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:20,040

72
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,120

Speaker 1: I assume who'll make the call. Would it ever enter

74
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 1: your mind that with a sore hamstring, with a sore ankle,

75

Speaker 1: that going out there would hurt the team? And is

76
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:26,279
Speaker 1: that something you would consider? Uh, that's you know, not

77
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,279
Speaker 1: a decision that that's uh up to me. I don't.

78
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,160

Speaker 1: seriously as you do. But with that said, do you

86
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,919
Speaker 1: find yourself struggling sometimes with balancing that desire to go

87
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: out there and be competitive versus you know, being smart

88
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 1: about it and listening to your body. Do you just

89
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:08,960

99
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,280
Speaker 1: Sometimes you tend to compensate. Sometimes that might change your

100
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 1: gait or your motion or whatnot. Have you noticed that

101
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:49,160
