00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 1: how has that been for you just to be able

9
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 1: to strength and days together and practice playing the games

10
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:37,479
Speaker 1: most definitely, Ah, I mean it feels good, you know.

11
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 1: I'm just blessed to be back playing a game that

12
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 1: I love. You know, it feels amazing to be back

13
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:46,520
Speaker 1: out there. I enjoy every moment. You had a couple

14
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 1: of players in the game where just getting to the

15
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:53,559
Speaker 1: second level it was hard to miss seventy two, Like,

16
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 1: whoa guy that size getting out to that level? Tell

17
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 1: me about that part of your game. Um, well, it's

18
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:04,399
Speaker 1: something we emphasize every day, you know. I owe it

19
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 1: to my office in line coach. You know, we we

20
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 1: focus a lot on fundamentals and technique. So I'm just

21
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 1: trying to do what I'm taught and try to get

22
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 1: better at it every single day. How significant do you

23
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:23,039
Speaker 1: feel these last call it seven days have been for you?

24
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 1: Just the practices with the Eagles. That was a lot

25
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 1: of one on one reps. Yeah, right, and forty plus

26
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 1: snaps in the game. Right. Um. I would say, just

27
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: you know, from day one and camp just going against

28
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 1: our defense, like getting those reps. I try not to,

29
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:45,759
Speaker 1: you know, focus on you know, who we're going again,

30
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 1: so like what's what's the task at I try to

31
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 1: like just take everything one day at a time and

32
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 1: just I feel like, you know, from the start of

33
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 1: training camp to where I'm at now, like our coaches

34
00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 1: and our defense has done a great job with preparing

35
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 1: me and to get ready. It was a good It

36
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 1: was a good feeling getting able to battle with the

37
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 1: Eagles last week, and I just try to get better

38
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 1: every single day. I'm going to open it up to others,

39
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: but I might circle back with something non football at

40
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: the end. If that's okay, good, Evan Lizar's hands up,

41
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 1: go ahead with your question. Evan, Hey, Yanny, how you doing?

42
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 1: What's going on? I'm all good, good good. I just

43
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,239
Speaker 1: was wondering, you know, after so much a long period

44
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,079
Speaker 1: of time off for you with the injuries and everything.

45
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,360
Speaker 1: How has it been like to kind of ramp it

46
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 1: back up into physical football shape, if you will, And

47
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,679
Speaker 1: how do you feel like that's going so far? I mean,

48
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: I still have I'm nowhere near where I need to be.

49
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 1: I still feel like I need to get better on

50
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 1: a lot of things, and We're continue to do that

51
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 1: day and day out. I'm blessed to be back playing football.

52
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 1: But at the same time, you know, even though I'm

53
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: just not getting on the field, you know, I've been

54
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 1: here for three years, so just being able to watch

55
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: other guys and listen to coaching and take notes and

56
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 1: just studying, and just even though I was on the sidelines,

57
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: I was still taking ment of reps and still working

58
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 1: on how I could get better. God. And thanks, Okay,
