1 00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:03,239 Speaker 1: How are you feeling? Feel pretty good? You know, reab 2 00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:05,360 Speaker 1: has been going good. You know, I'm glad to get 3 00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:07,960 Speaker 1: out there, back with my teammates play some football. You know, 4 00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:11,400 Speaker 1: when when did this? Did you hurt it in the 5 00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:14,400 Speaker 1: game the first game? When did you first feel the 6 00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:19,160 Speaker 1: foot injury? Uh? Well, it was like the two separate injuries. 7 00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:21,480 Speaker 1: The thumb happened the first drive of the first quarter, 8 00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:24,400 Speaker 1: and the foot happened the first drive of the third quarter. 9 00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:28,040 Speaker 1: What happened with the foot because we never really got 10 00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:30,639 Speaker 1: I mean we just heard foot injury. Really yeah, I 11 00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:34,559 Speaker 1: mean just kind of the wear and tear. I mean 12 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:36,960 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna get into specifics about it because that's 13 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:40,400 Speaker 1: between me and the medical staff, but it was good 14 00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:44,400 Speaker 1: enough where I couldn't walk after the game without crutches. Well, 15 00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:48,480 Speaker 1: there's something that was bothering you in training camp, ah, 16 00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:50,599 Speaker 1: and it felt like that. I mean there's like mandance 17 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,519 Speaker 1: things here and there, but I never felt like that. 18 00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:56,200 Speaker 1: And then the last couple of weeks been like because 19 00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:57,800 Speaker 1: they didn't put you an eye on it, thought you'd 20 00:00:57,840 --> 00:00:59,600 Speaker 1: be back in less than three weeks. It's kind of 21 00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:03,440 Speaker 1: just been and slower than you anticipate it. I mean, 22 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,280 Speaker 1: it's just getting in the training room, you know, taking 23 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:08,520 Speaker 1: it day by day. I mean, there's no way you 24 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,080 Speaker 1: can put like a time frame on when a guy 25 00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,120 Speaker 1: is being going to be back because some injuries, some 26 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:15,560 Speaker 1: feel really fast and take a little bit longer, so 27 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 1: it's hard to judge. So I mean everyone's always going 28 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:21,400 Speaker 1: to err on the side of optimism, and it was 29 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 1: just a little took a little bit longer. I mean, 30 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,560 Speaker 1: it's just sometimes how these things go. I think it 31 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,759 Speaker 1: is since they did not put your dot, you probably 32 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:31,760 Speaker 1: we're gonna be back a little sooner or is that? 33 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,759 Speaker 1: Am I reading nothing wrong? Way? Like I said, it's 34 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:36,959 Speaker 1: really hard to tell until you start going through the 35 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:40,680 Speaker 1: steps because I mean our training staff has like protocol, 36 00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:42,320 Speaker 1: so I mean you take it day by day, and 37 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,039 Speaker 1: it's just hard to tell until you start doing each step, 38 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,600 Speaker 1: just taking a day by day. What were those weeks 39 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 1: life for you? I mean the line you know, they 40 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 1: had some ups and some downs, and you think you're 41 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 1: going to be back and you're not able to play 42 00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,720 Speaker 1: where there's some frustrating moments. Yeah, definitely. I mean I 43 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 1: want to be out there, you know, be with my teammates, 44 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 1: do my part to help the team the best I 45 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 1: possibly can. But I felt like, you know, Matt prior 46 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,520 Speaker 1: Chris read the way they stepped up. I mean, they 47 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 1: didn't miss a beat, and I thought they got those 48 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,040 Speaker 1: guys play great. And I mean I see our team 49 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 1: really thriving when they were playing. It was great. I mean, 50 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,960 Speaker 1: eager to get the group back together again. Though the 51 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 1: offensive line you're gonna get maybe two y back. It's 52 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 1: kind of nice to see this offense getting healthy, I 53 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 1: guess definitely. I mean, I'm starting to see a lot 54 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,080 Speaker 1: of people coming back and it's just great. You know, 55 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 1: ideally have our whole team healthy, but a lot of 56 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,120 Speaker 1: guys are coming back and that's great to see. So 57 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 1: we'll see you out there Sunday. You know, I'm just 58 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 1: taking on one day at a time. But getting health here. 59 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:48,959 Speaker 1: You again, you're not gonna elabrate a lot that you 60 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 1: haven't sure treat, not n the need. But from the 61 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:55,960 Speaker 1: thumb maybe again, Yes, I had surgery on my phone 62 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 1: when you had surgery a couple of years ago. Last year, 63 00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:02,519 Speaker 1: my thumbs have been through it all the time. I 64 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,839 Speaker 1: always got something going on, don't figuring in a while 65 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 1: to adjust getting back into practice, how do you feel 66 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,800 Speaker 1: on that on game speed? I mean, I feel like 67 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,120 Speaker 1: I really haven't lost too much of a step. I 68 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 1: feel like I'm, you know, fresh legs as I like 69 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 1: to call it. So I got a lot of pep 70 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 1: in my step. I mean, excited to be back out 71 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 1: there and practicing Brandy before the season. And Ille cluidsity 72 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,639 Speaker 1: Is said, that's basically just unspoken communication between the two 73 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:27,960 Speaker 1: that you guys don't even have to say a work 74 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:29,960 Speaker 1: when you're out there, you can communicate basically just buy 75 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 1: a movement or a look with the rotation and basically 76 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 1: Glow and read what adjustments do you have to make? 77 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 1: What have you been able to do maybe this week 78 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 1: working with Chris to get that same level of continuity. 79 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 1: I mean it's just like getting reps together. That's the 80 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 1: biggest thing. That's how you build the chemistry. So I 81 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 1: think you know, of course with Glow, I mean we've 82 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 1: had years and years together, you know, and then it's 83 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 1: just getting reps with Chris. I mean, just like the 84 00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 1: surgery on the thumb, but not on the ankle. Was 85 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 1: it ankle? But Andrew wouldst have been like just learning 86 00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 1: the defense and kind of get turned into a couple 87 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:14,120 Speaker 1: of spots the three. Luckily, I have a lot of experience, 88 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 1: so really just terminology is a little different, but a 89 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,359 Speaker 1: lot of stuff that I've played before. It's similar to 90 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 1: what you guys did in Cleveland last year. Um. And 91 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 1: with now that Julian's out, are you guys playing a 92 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,240 Speaker 1: strong and a free or is it more interchangeable? I 93 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 1: think anyone who plays safety is interchangeable. Like it's just 94 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 1: sometimes of course of the ball game, you gotta be 95 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 1: able to play on a different spot, so you gotta 96 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:46,839 Speaker 1: know everything. You would have practiced against Adrian Peterson back 97 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 1: in Minnesota, Like, but have you ever seen anyone like 98 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 1: Derrick Henry? Um? No, He's obviously a special player. Um. 99 00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean I would say any anyone that 100 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:01,920 Speaker 1: could even probably compared to that would be like when 101 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 1: I'm practice against Adrian and his prime, what's the I guess, like, 102 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 1: what's the challenge of trying to tackle Derrick Henry Lowe? Well, 103 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 1: I think the challenge is just tackling him because he's 104 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 1: a large person and he's fast, so it just comes 105 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 1: down to science. After that, Andrew, you mentioned getting up 106 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 1: speed at the defense. How much did she'll relationship with 107 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,040 Speaker 1: the Xavier Rhodes have, you know, come into play. How 108 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 1: much did you maybe work with him like getting up 109 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,920 Speaker 1: to speed or at least that continuity that you have. Yeah, 110 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 1: his AI's helped me out a lot really just in 111 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,559 Speaker 1: general just kind of like you know, off the field 112 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,920 Speaker 1: stuff too. But you know, I worked with both Alan 113 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:49,719 Speaker 1: Williams back in Minnesota as well, and you know, you 114 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 1: just you just got to pick the guy's brains. When 115 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 1: you're new and you're like you're trying to figure out 116 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 1: a certain call or whatever, you're just asking guys just 117 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,279 Speaker 1: ask a lot of questions, kind of really annoying at first, 118 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,720 Speaker 1: like to everybody, buddy, um, and then after a while 119 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 1: you kind of start to pick it up. Wasn't it 120 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 1: encouraging them to watch like Xavier last year how quickly 121 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:09,680 Speaker 1: he was able to make like an impact and make 122 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 1: that transition on this defense? Yes? How much does it 123 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 1: help when you're coming into a new team and stream 124 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 1: to have Alan used to That's just helpful because they're 125 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:28,159 Speaker 1: familiar with you and your personality. But um, I mean really, 126 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:31,159 Speaker 1: if you're a new guy on any team, it's just 127 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 1: it's really just you have to sit down and just 128 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 1: learn the new terminology. A lot of stuff is the 129 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:39,360 Speaker 1: same around the league. Like I said, just it's just 130 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,719 Speaker 1: new words for new coverages, new blitzes, whatever it is.
