1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,920
Speaker 1: So what did you think when it first happened when

2
00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:04,760
Speaker 1: you when you when you first roll up your ankle, Like,

3
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:07,400
Speaker 1: what did you think the big ye like whole crap.

4
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:07,960
Speaker 2: No.

5
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:10,040
Speaker 3: At first when I did, it was no big deal.

6
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:14,280
Speaker 4: I went out, did another play and then it was like, nah,

7
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:16,480
Speaker 4: something just don't feel right, so I wouldn't get it checked.

8
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:20,960
Speaker 4: How are you feeling that, I'm feeling good. I don't

9
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:24,439
Speaker 4: think it's really nothing too serious though, just the spring, Yeah,

10
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 4: just just typical things that happened with the ankle. When

11
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 4: you know you do you play football, you play basketball?

12
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:33,920
Speaker 3: Really not a high spring though, No, nothing too serious,

13
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:35,879
Speaker 3: and you envisioned.

14
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 5: How it happened, like do you know exactly? Nah?

15
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 4: I really ain't no different practice until like I watched

16
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 4: the film and I was like, I watched the play

17
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:47,600
Speaker 4: that it happened, and I really ain't know what I

18
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 4: did with my foot. And then when I watched it,

19
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:51,519
Speaker 4: I was like, all right, cool, that's the reason why

20
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 4: I'm feeling it. But when I watched it again and

21
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 4: how I watched it to say that that happened and

22
00:00:57,840 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 4: I don't feel really, you know, a lot going on

23
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 4: right now, so it wasn't that bad.

24
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:05,479
Speaker 3: Of Benjiny. I'm just making sure you know I'm fine.

25
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 1: Sorry, any doubt that you'll be ready for a week one.

26
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 3: No doubt, no doubt. What if they told you about

27
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 3: like how you're going to manage it?

28
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 2: I think I think you'd be cautious with.

29
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:17,119
Speaker 3: You this week.

30
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, pretty cautious, just to see you know how I feel.

31
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:23,960
Speaker 4: Make sure you know I'm one hundred percent. Make sure

32
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 4: you know I'm able to practice at a highest speed

33
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 4: and play at full speed.

34
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: I would assume that's important for you too, right, I

35
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 1: mean you don't want to go out there and you know,

36
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 1: go at half.

37
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 3: Speed just based on who you are and what you

38
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:37,960
Speaker 3: want out of practice. Yeah, of course. You know.

39
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,279
Speaker 4: I'm always trying to, you know, and be one hundred

40
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 4: percent healthy. When you know, when I'm out there on

41
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 4: the field, you know I gotta be available to play.

42
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 3: So you know I'm gonna always take my health first.

43
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 1: Presumeian you don't play Saturday. Would you like to get

44
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 1: in against the Jets? Like to get some more preseason

45
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 1: work in before.

46
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 3: The season starts. I mean it's a it's a it's

47
00:01:59,080 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 3: a game rep.

48
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 4: So you know, every game opportunity rep that I have

49
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 4: you know, of course I want to take advantage of it.

50
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 4: But if that, if that would you know, my coaches

51
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 4: decide on, that's what I decide on, then that's what's

52
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 4: gonna happen.

53
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 5: I came late.

54
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 3: How does it feel right now? It feels good, getting

55
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 3: bank healthy, just continuing with the rehabit.

56
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 2: What did you think it was worse than it is

57
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 2: when it first happened?

58
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 3: Most definitely? Yeah, But when I got you know, the

59
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 3: X ray and m on it, nothing really showed up.

60
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,519
Speaker 4: Is it the fust the ankle or how would.

61
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 3: You describe really my ankle? Yeah, this is what my ankle.

62
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 3: But it's like I said, again, it's not so Is that?

63
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 3: Is that a huge lead when you got the news?

64
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, you know, because you know, as a football player,

65
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 4: you know, you always think the worst of anything if

66
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 4: you're not able to play. So to hear the good

67
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,360
Speaker 4: news come back, you know, saying that it was really nothing.

68
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 4: It's just gonna take you know, rehabing time. So you

69
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 4: know that that was great to hear.

70
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,079
Speaker 6: Have you had the opportunity to do any running or

71
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 6: jogging yet or is it you're still not quite at

72
00:02:58,360 --> 00:02:58,919

Speaker 3: And you know it feel good.

76
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 2: So yeah, the fact that you're not wearing any support

77
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,360
Speaker 2: for it as you're out there, I mean, is that

78
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 2: an encouraging thing for you? Or do you think you'll

79
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 2: need something if you're actually back playing?

80
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 3: No, I only need anything when I'm back ruding.

81
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: I mean we've all obviously sprained it because before true,

82
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,679

Speaker 2: No, No, how much do you want to be back

85
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,840

Speaker 4: But you know, like I said, health this, you know,

89
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 4: the one hundred percent of what I'm focused on right now,

90
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 4: just you know, before we start going onto you know,

91
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 4: week one, you know, to be healthy when the season

92
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 4: really starts as the main that's the main focus.

93
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 2: Does it rest right now mostly or you are you

94
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 2: actually working on it right now?

95
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 3: Just working on it, just working on it.

96
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 2: You have and what's it like to say one of

97
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 2: your rookie classmates go down like Tracy did today.

98
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 4: I heard about it after practice, so I never really

99
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 4: got into what happened. I just heard that he went down,

100
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 4: you know, Like I said, you know, it's it's baffled.

101
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,719
Speaker 4: You know, an incoming person, you know, coming into a

102
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,839
Speaker 4: new team, you know, to go down to you know,

103
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 4: an injury that he had he faced. So I'm not

104
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:24,159
Speaker 4: really sure the injury. I just know I heard he

105
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 4: went down. So you know, my prayer is gonna be

106
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,480
Speaker 4: you know, to him. I'm hoping he's happy for speedy

107
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,479
Speaker 4: recovery so so we can get him back out there

108
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:33,479
Speaker 4: on the field, because you know, he's a he's a

109
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 4: pretty a pretty good back. You know, we need him

110
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,599
Speaker 4: in the backfield catching the ball off the backfield. So

111
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 4: having him on the field, you know, it makes our offense,

112
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:41,559
Speaker 4: you know, very better.

113
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 5: What do you have grasp of how popular you've become

114
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 5: and how important you are to this offense and to

115
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 5: the Giants this year and yours down the road.

116
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:56,719
Speaker 3: But just as a rookie, I mean, nah, it really

117
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 3: it really ain't hit me. Hit me.

118
00:04:58,400 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 4: I mean, like I said, you know, I take it

119
00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 4: at is football, you know, right, you know, this famous

120
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 4: person or not you know, if I don't do my

121
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 4: job at the end of the day, I'm not gonna.

122
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:13,280
Speaker 3: Be this praise receiver. Like you know, everybody saying.

123
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 5: Position though, right, I mean it's a nice opportunity, right.

124
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:20,159
Speaker 3: I mean, it has it has its pros and cons.

125
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 4: I would say, you know that, you know, when you

126
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 4: got a lot of titching going on, you gotta you know,

127
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:27,039
Speaker 4: know how to handle it. Know you know what to

128
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 4: say on what how to say, you know what to

129
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 4: do and not to do. So it has his pros

130
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 4: and cons.

131
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:34,000

Speaker 6: What do you kind of lean on?

135
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 3: Family, anybody that kind of levels you.

136
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,599
