Speaker 1: I'm I'm healing quickly, and I just gotta keep doing,

3
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:10,400

00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:12,360
Speaker 1: room and try to get back out there as quick

5
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 1: as I can being ready to play. And maybe what

8
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 1: I think I've gotten a lot better of the course

9
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 1: of the you know, last week, and um you know,

10
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 1: I'm just kind of taking a day to day doing

11
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:32,519
Speaker 1: what I what they tell me I can do. I'm

12
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 1: starting to move around a little bit more and and

13
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:38,520
Speaker 1: uh it feels good, So uh keep trusting that. Uh

14
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 1: you know that that process and and like I said,

15
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 1: try to get back out there as quickly as I can.

16
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 1: Are you operating with the I do that there's a

17
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:50,239
Speaker 1: chance thing you can start on Sunday? Yeah, I mean

18
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:53,239
Speaker 1: I think I'm I'm you know, trying to trying to

19
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 1: prepare to play and and um, you know, like I said,

20
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 1: We're gonna take a day to day. I think, um,

21
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 1: you know, it'll be evaluated how feel through the week

22
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: and and then a decision will be made. So um,

23
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 1: you know my job is to prepare to play. Is

24
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:09,759
Speaker 1: there anything you can do at at the point? Um,

25
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:13,039
Speaker 1: I mean I think, uh, it's still a process. I

26
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:16,119
Speaker 1: wouldn't say it's um you know, it's all the way there,

27
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:17,959
Speaker 1: but but I do feel a lot better. I'm I'm

28
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: able to move around, I'm able to uh do what

29
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 1: I need to do, um to throw and and uh

30
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 1: you know I feel good in practice. So um you know,

31
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 1: we'll we'll see how it goes through the week, and

32
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 1: just gotta keep doing what, uh what I need to

33
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 1: be doing. We're gonna be able to running cut you

34
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: think expectively if you had to get out of over

35
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:44,759
Speaker 1: feel that that should be more. Yeah, I mean I think, yeah,

36
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 1: I think that's a that's a big part of it.

37
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 1: And um, you know, like I said, I felt felt

38
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 1: good today. I think, you know, through the week, I'll

39
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: I'll feel better and and uh you know, just just

40
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 1: gotta keep keep progressing and moving forward. I think, Um,

41
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: you know, it's tough to tough to say today, um

42
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 1: if I would or when I will, but um, I

43
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 1: feel good. I think things are things are progressing well.

44
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 1: I think this is part of a learning process. Also,

45
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 1: I mean coming backward injury, having to sit being disappointed.

46
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: You know, you seem almost like you feel like you're

47
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 1: letting get people down like I'm playing, you know, I mean,

48
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 1: is this all part of learning? I think so. I mean, um,

49
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 1: you know there's a lot of you know, you're learning

50
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 1: on off the field all the time, and I'm trying

51
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: to do that, trying to um, you know, improve um

52
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 1: in whatever ways I can from from each of these

53
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 1: each of these things. So yeah, I think it's an

54
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: opportunity to learn. I was watching the teams on the

55
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 1: sideline and really different than watching the first two weeks

56
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 1: because the first things you would not to start than

57
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 1: the weather started. Now you're you know, it was getting

58
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,640
Speaker 1: different for you. Yeah, I think it was. It was different,

59
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:48,799
Speaker 1: um not being out there and and yeah, I mean

60
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: opportunity to still you know, try to help out and

61
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 1: try to, um do what I can to help a team.

62
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 1: So um, but yeah, it was a little bit a

63
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: little bit different watch. Yeah, I think I feel like

64
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 1: more it was like your team out there the first time.

65
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 1: I know, I mean, I think it's it's our team.

66
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 1: I don't I don't think you don't know if anyone

67
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 1: really feels feels that way about it. I think, um,

68
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,079
Speaker 1: you know, we're all we're all trying to win games.

69
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,639
Speaker 1: We're all working towards the same we're the same goal.

70
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 1: Had this type of an injury before, and if you did,

71
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 1: how long we Um I had a hind was spraying

72
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: last year. I think, um, you know, they're all a

73
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 1: little bit different. It was on my other leg, but

74
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:33,799
Speaker 1: um that didn't miss any time with that. But um,

75
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 1: you know, I think I just gotta trust, you know,

76
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 1: trust what I'm what I'm doing, and uh you know,

77
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 1: I'll be back soon. The last few games this season,

78
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 1: what do you think from watching, you know, how the

79
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: offense plays. For the second week, I thought we you know,

80
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 1: I thought we played well. In the first half. I think, um,

81
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: you know, a number of big plays. Um, I thought, Eli,

82
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 1: I did it. It was a great job. And and

83
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 1: uh you know, Darius made some made some big plays.

84
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: I think we made you know, guys up front did well.

85
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: And then uh there in the second half, just a

86
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 1: couple you know, third down opportunities that um you know,

87
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 1: we we needed to convert to help the help the

88
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 1: defense out. But um, you know, I think, like all

89
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 1: these games, hopefully we'll we'll learn from it and and

90
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 1: uh and keep moving forward. Obviously coaches and trainers make

91
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,359
Speaker 1: it up to you would you be playing Uh, I

92
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 1: mean I think, Um, you know, like I said, we're

93
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 1: gonna we're gonna take it day to day and see,

94
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 1: you know, see how I'm feeling through the week. And

00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 1: to uh to do that to improve every day. And

97
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 1: then um, you know, I think they'll we'll make a

98
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: call at the end of the week. How much better

99
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 1: to feel today versus maybe the stag week around. Yeah,

100
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 1: I mean I feel a lot better just just being

101
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 1: able to to move around and get out there and

102
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, I think, like I said, I

103
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 1: feel pretty good. I was saying that, you know, part

104
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: of your game, it's no secret to your mobility and

105
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: able to make price on the run. How how much

106
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: more confident do you feel kind of moving around out

107
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 1: there with that part of your game right now? Yeah,

108
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:13,600

109
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 1: you know, I think, you know, feel better out there.

110
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,479
Speaker 1: I was able to do that today, and um, you know,

111
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 1: I understand it. It's different in the game. You you're

112
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 1: moving in a different to being in the game. But um,

113
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:25,160
Speaker 1: but you know, I think a few days from now,

114
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:29,720
Speaker 1: hopefully I'll continue to progress to the google off. On

115
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:33,799
Speaker 1: Friday last week, was at the last day wore on. Uh,

116
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 1: I took that off at practice to take it off

117
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,040
Speaker 1: to to do a couple of things to practice. But

118
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 1: I was, I was wearing it through Monday. I know

119
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 1: you you come here early in the day already. Do

120
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 1: you come any earlier now for treatment or is it

121
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 1: the same just because yeah, I've been coming coming a

122
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 1: little bit earlier to do some treatment. Daniel was is

123
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 1: it challenging for you to not kind of make your

124
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 1: pitch to play to kind of trust the medical and

125
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 1: look for medical the medical or do you try to

126
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 1: convince them to say, you know what I'm record that's

127
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:14,359
Speaker 1: gonna be Yeah, I mean I think, um, you know,

128
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 1: we have we have a great medical staff, and you

129
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:18,840
Speaker 1: know they're gonna they're gonna listen to how you're feeling

130
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 1: and how you know, how you think you're doing. So

131
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 1: so my job is to communicate with that, communicate that

132
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,719
Speaker 1: with them, um, you know as best I can, and

133
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:31,359
Speaker 1: and um, you know I think we we uh we

134
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 1: make a decision based on that. So UM, you know,

135
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 1: I gotta gotta trust that, And I said, certainly do

136
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 1: We've got a great staff. At any point and during

137
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,039
Speaker 1: the game, did you walk over to the line and say,

138
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 1: I see this? Do you see the same thing? Um,

139
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 1: I think you know, we're always kind of talking through

140
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 1: different ideas and um, you know between between Eli, Alex

141
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 1: Koch Schula, I mean, I think you know, I'm obviously

142
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 1: the guy with the the least experience, so I try to,

143
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,919
Speaker 1: um offer what I can, but I'll understand, Um, you know,

144
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 1: those guys have seen a lot more than I have.

145
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,919
Speaker 1: So but I mean, I think that's always, uh you know,

146
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 1: when the defense is out there, we're always trying to

147
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,239
Speaker 1: come up with with different things that might work based

148
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 1: on what we're seeing and and what they think is

149
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 1: uh working. Um. Throughout the game, they're just saying, in

150
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 1: your mind, you're you'll be back at some point the

151
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 1: next three weeks, I hope. So I mean I think, UM,

152
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 1: you know, my job, like I said, is to to

153
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 1: continue to progress too, to do what uh you know

154
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 1: I'm being told to do and kind of trust that,

155
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 1: UM to that process. Is it meaningful for you to

156
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 1: be out there to kind of end this end the

157
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 1: stream streams out, So we were out there for to

00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 1: be out there. Um, I don't. I mean, I think

00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 1: I think you know who whoever's out there. You know,

163
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: our our goal was to tend you know, when win

164
