So um, you know it's uh it's feeling 9 00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:27,320 Speaker 1: better and and uh certainly working hard to make sure 10 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:31,720 Speaker 1: it keeps going that way. And uh, I mean what 11 00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:34,480 Speaker 1: are you what are you looking at as Okay, how 12 00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:36,800 Speaker 1: realistic is it for me to be back this week? 13 00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:40,320 Speaker 1: And how do you balance that between short term obviously 14 00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,000 Speaker 1: for this week and then long term? Okay, we're trying 15 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:44,760 Speaker 1: to you know, win the division here. This is a 16 00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:49,120 Speaker 1: key five on five games we had. Uh yeah, you 17 00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:52,280 Speaker 1: know I think, um, you know, as far as my approach, 18 00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:55,320 Speaker 1: I think I certainly uh you know, want to play 19 00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:57,560 Speaker 1: and and I want to be out there, you know, 20 00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:00,280 Speaker 1: and and doing everything I can to to get out there. 21 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:03,440 Speaker 1: So um you know you know where that puts me 22 00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:07,080 Speaker 1: or or how um you know, when you know, how 23 00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:10,840 Speaker 1: I'm able to uh you know how how our cover 24 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,000 Speaker 1: depends on on what I do day to day, and 25 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,320 Speaker 1: and you know that's where my focus is on, uh 26 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 1: you know, what I'm doing and focusing on on healing 27 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:24,399 Speaker 1: it up. It's not right. The traditional question to ask 28 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:26,800 Speaker 1: players in situation is if there was a game today, 29 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:30,280 Speaker 1: would you would you be able to go? I guess 30 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 1: you know, I know you didn't practice. You feel like 31 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,039 Speaker 1: close enough that you wouldn't been able to get something 32 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 1: out today. I'm not you know, I'm not sure. Um 33 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:45,120 Speaker 1: you know, I think luckily there's there's not a game today, 34 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 1: and and uh, you know, to think of it hypothetically, 35 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 1: you know, I'm not sure. We we all, uh you know, 36 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 1: use the week to to prepare our bodies to play 37 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 1: on Sundays, and um, you know that uh part of 38 00:01:57,880 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 1: the you know, the part of the schedule, the way 39 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,240 Speaker 1: it works for all of us. So I'm not sure, 40 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 1: and and uh, you know, my goal is to continue 41 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:09,079 Speaker 1: to improve sout the week. Was there any relief from 42 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 1: you that this doesn't seem to be something that's going 43 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 1: to close to you the rest of them? Uh? Yeah, 44 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 1: I mean I think, um, you know as far as 45 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 1: uh you know where where it puts me and how 46 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,840 Speaker 1: I recover it, you know, that's that's up to up 47 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 1: to me, up to you know, how I approached this, 48 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,800 Speaker 1: this process and and uh, you know, doing everything I 49 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 1: can to to get back as soon as possible. Ralph 50 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,360 Speaker 1: and Daniel, UM, we were told you worked with the 51 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,400 Speaker 1: trainers today. I'm just curious what were you doing with 52 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 1: the trains of what you're able to do and are 53 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 1: you at the point where you can even run on 54 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 1: a leg at this point? Uh? Yeah, just working with them, 55 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 1: uh in the training room, Uh, you know, doing uh, 56 00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:01,160 Speaker 1: doing treatment and in certain exercises. Um, just to uh 57 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 1: you know, to to try to help it heal. So 58 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,799 Speaker 1: exactly you know what we did, you know, I'm I'm 59 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 1: not sure. Uh, you know, we're gonna talk about talk 60 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,520 Speaker 1: about that, but um, you know it was it was good, 61 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:16,680 Speaker 1: you know, it was feeling better, and I'm working to 62 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:23,080 Speaker 1: to progress it every day at Leonard. Hey, Daniel, do 63 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,119 Speaker 1: you do you think in hindsight you've made it any 64 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 1: worse by coming back into the game for a couple 65 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 1: of days. Um, I don't think so. I think, Um, 66 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 1: you know, at that point, I was obviously wanted to 67 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 1: be back in the game, and and uh you know, 68 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 1: I thought I thought I could, and and uh you know, 69 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 1: I wanted to give it a shot. So I don't 70 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 1: think I don't think I made it any worse. And 71 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 1: um you know, I thought I could go back out there. 72 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 1: Talking to some people who have had hamstring injuries, you 73 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 1: know a lot of what they say is the only 74 00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 1: thing that helps it is rest. So, like I mean, 75 00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 1: is it fair to say that the only thing that's 76 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 1: gonna make it better is you're not doing much? Um 77 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 1: you know, I think, like I said that, the you know, 78 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 1: rest and recovery through the through the week is a 79 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 1: big part of getting healthy. Uh you know, play games 80 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 1: on Sundays for for everyone in the in the NFL, 81 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:23,480 Speaker 1: and and certainly use the week to to recover. So um, 82 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 1: I think, uh yeah, rest, rest is a piece of it, 83 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 1: but there's are also a number of other things that 84 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 1: go into the healing process and making sure, um, you know, 85 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 1: I recover as quickly as I can. Daniel, I know 86 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,599 Speaker 1: this isn't the same as injuries you've had in the past, 87 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:42,159 Speaker 1: But what experience are you drawing from those injuries that 88 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 1: you've had in the past as far as balancing being 89 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,839 Speaker 1: patient versus you know, pushing yourself to get back on 90 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:52,280 Speaker 1: the field as quickly as possible. Uh. Yeah, I mean 91 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 1: I think, um, you know, my approach has always been 92 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,360 Speaker 1: to try to get back as soon as possible, and 93 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 1: and um you know, I think, uh you know, you 94 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 1: understand where where your body is and and what you 95 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 1: can do and and um you know, I think, um 96 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 1: you know, every you know injury is different, and and 97 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 1: you know you gotta listen to your body. But at 98 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:17,839 Speaker 1: the end of the day, it's it's, uh, you know, 99 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 1: as soon as I can, as soon as I can 100 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 1: get back and and uh you know, get back out 101 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,840 Speaker 1: on the field and recover. Um you know, I want 102 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 1: to be out there. So that's that's uh, that's my goal. 103 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 1: As far as we know what the physical uh toll 104 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 1: and the recovery needs to be this week, are you 105 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 1: keeping your the mental side the preparation. Are you keeping 106 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 1: that the same as you would if you weren't dealing 107 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,480 Speaker 1: with this injury? Uh? And how you know, as far 108 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 1: as the meeting goes and stuff like that, I would 109 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 1: imagine your role hasn't changed much in terms of you 110 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,280 Speaker 1: guys getting together kind of putting this game plan together 111 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 1: for Sunday. Yeah, you know, I think, um, you know, 112 00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,599 Speaker 1: certainly preparing the way I always do to to play 113 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 1: and and um, you know, making sure that i'm uh 114 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,480 Speaker 1: you know, and you know, while I'm not didn't practice 115 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 1: uh you know today, you know, we're still getting those 116 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 1: reps and making sure I understand uh you know what 117 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:18,919 Speaker 1: exactly uh we're doing, and prepare prepare myself to to play. 118 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,040 Speaker 1: So um, you know that's that's certainly my approach this week, 119 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:25,360 Speaker 1: because it would be any week. You talked a lot 120 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,600 Speaker 1: in the beginning of season about your relationship with Colet 121 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 1: and how he's helped you in that respect. I'm just curious, 122 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:36,440 Speaker 1: if the roles reversed this week, how do you approach 123 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 1: that relationship with him if he's the one who ends 124 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:44,080 Speaker 1: up getting the start on Sunday? Uh yeah, I think 125 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 1: you know the the approach we we've we've both taken 126 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,920 Speaker 1: uh throughout this year's two to prepare to play. And 127 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 1: I know he's, um, you know, every week um that 128 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,680 Speaker 1: he hasn't played, he's been prepared to play. And and 129 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:02,040 Speaker 1: you know it does Ah does a great job, um, 130 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,040 Speaker 1: you know, watching tape and and I understand the game 131 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 1: plan and and um, you know, knowing, knowing what we're 132 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 1: doing and preparing to play, so, UM you know that's 133 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:15,240 Speaker 1: certainly um you know, the the approach that that we 134 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 1: both take, uh, every week and and I certainly don't 135 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:19,800 Speaker 1: see it being different this week.
