1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:01,880 Speaker 1: What did you see in the film around if you 2 00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:04,440 Speaker 1: can remember, right, it's hard to remember. We like come 3 00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:06,120 Speaker 1: up with so many different points and stuff like that. 4 00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:07,640 Speaker 1: But I think I like try to point out like 5 00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:09,800 Speaker 1: something about the offensive linement that might help him, might 6 00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:13,119 Speaker 1: beat him, or something like that. You know. I just 7 00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:15,600 Speaker 1: feel like a game that you would be able to 8 00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:17,520 Speaker 1: make a difference in if you had been able to play, 9 00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:19,319 Speaker 1: Like this is the game they really need you. It 10 00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:21,639 Speaker 1: feels like it's probably gonna be even tougher to be 11 00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:23,000 Speaker 1: out of this when I get a team that runs 12 00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:26,439 Speaker 1: the ball this much. Yeah, I mean this game, but 13 00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:29,320 Speaker 1: like more last game than anything because it's a divisional game, 14 00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:30,960 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I think those divisional games 15 00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:33,159 Speaker 1: matter more to me regardless of like what type of 16 00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:36,440 Speaker 1: running or passing team it is. I think I want 17 00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:40,560 Speaker 1: to help those divisional games more than anything. So, you know, Cowboys, 18 00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:45,800 Speaker 1: it was like a rivalry game Monday night. Uh Yeah, 19 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:47,240 Speaker 1: it was a lot. It was hard for me to 20 00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:50,200 Speaker 1: miss that one. Look like you're moving pretty good? Yeah, 21 00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:54,240 Speaker 1: I'm moving pretty well. Let's making some progress. Uh. I 22 00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:56,880 Speaker 1: make a joke around the building that everybody is running 23 00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:59,280 Speaker 1: with it. I'm like I said, I got like tiger 24 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:01,360 Speaker 1: blood and like I'm of arena and stuff like that. Uh, 25 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:03,639 Speaker 1: it's been healing pretty quickly. But at the same time, 26 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:05,440 Speaker 1: I still you know, I'm listening to my body and 27 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:09,080 Speaker 1: then I'm going for you know, long term longevity over 28 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:13,320 Speaker 1: you know, short term games. I have to shoots over. 29 00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:15,959 Speaker 1: Do you having an appreciation for how hard it is 30 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,680 Speaker 1: for a defensive linemen to play a hundred and fourteen 31 00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 1: straight games without an injury and playing as many snaps 32 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:27,120 Speaker 1: as you play? Yeah, I mean, little does he know? 33 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:30,039 Speaker 1: The Brignshaw Ferguson was a vet of mine that I 34 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,080 Speaker 1: came into the league with and he was a left 35 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 1: tackle for the Jets, and uh, he played I think 36 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,560 Speaker 1: the same way. He never missed a game. Yeah, so 37 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:40,840 Speaker 1: that like stuck with me and and you know, even 38 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:42,800 Speaker 1: though he never talked to me and probably never known 39 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 1: that I had stuck held onto that. It's been a 40 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,800 Speaker 1: part of me since knowing that about him. And uh, 41 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 1: you know, I'm glad that I've been able to make 42 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:52,880 Speaker 1: it this far and be a durable player. And uh, 43 00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:56,960 Speaker 1: you know, luckily it wasn't something season ending or surgery 44 00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 1: needed or anything like that. And hopefully I'll be back 45 00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,120 Speaker 1: out as soon as soon as possible. Were worried that 46 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 1: it might be a first I wasn't sure honestly, you know, 47 00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 1: I just know I've never really had anything like lower 48 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,080 Speaker 1: body wise. Uh you know, I've had like a shoulder 49 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 1: in college and like an elbow last year, and like 50 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 1: small stuff like that that I can like kind of 51 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 1: keep playing on. But like when it's something lower body, 52 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 1: like a knee, it's like it's a little more like testy, 53 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 1: you know, a little questionable. So you know, I wasn't sure, 54 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:24,639 Speaker 1: so I didn't want to put any bad thoughts into 55 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 1: my mind before checking out the m R. I I'm 56 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 1: just glad it wasn't you know. I was like to 57 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 1: kind of go down and have to go off the 58 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:38,239 Speaker 1: field for first ormever. I mean, it was unfortunate. It 59 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:42,360 Speaker 1: was scary. Um. I always feel bad that, like I 60 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 1: can't help out my team, you know. It's it's it's 61 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 1: harder during the week even like because I can't go 62 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,520 Speaker 1: out there and practice with them, like in the meeting rooms. 63 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm paying attention as much as possible, but 64 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 1: I like, I know I'm not playing in the game, 65 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 1: so it's like kind of like you know, it's kind 66 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 1: of hard. Like I'm being engaged as much as possible, 67 00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 1: and I'm treating it and rehabbing as much as possible. 68 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:02,960 Speaker 1: But it's hard to like not do as much as 69 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 1: they're doing, you know. And I've never really been in 70 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 1: that type of position. I'm not even that the type 71 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,680 Speaker 1: of guy that you know takes vet days or anything 72 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,000 Speaker 1: like that, because I'm a type of guy that, like 73 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 1: I like to put in the work. You know. Do 74 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:18,240 Speaker 1: you have a game circle to be back for? Oh? 75 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 1: Not really. I don't think that helps, um, you know, 76 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:24,920 Speaker 1: because I could possibly come back sooner than a date circled, 77 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,959 Speaker 1: and I don't want to put that into my mind 78 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 1: of trying to reach a certain date. I'm more just 79 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 1: taking it day by day. Honestly. What are you doing? Yeah, 80 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 1: I've been able to go out on the field and 81 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 1: do some running and in field work on it. Um. 82 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 1: But before I got on the field, I was doing 83 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 1: a lot of workouts in the pool and uh, I 84 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,000 Speaker 1: forget that workout, I forget that treadmill. What it's called that. 85 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 1: It's like, Yeah, changes the gravity a little bit, so 86 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:58,720 Speaker 1: there's a little less weight. Yeah. So but it's been 87 00:03:58,800 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 1: nice to be able to be on the field and 88 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:04,120 Speaker 1: you stuff on a still doesn't pay yet. How is 89 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 1: your perspective changed having to I mean it's just the 90 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 1: one game in the practice throughout the week. But anything 91 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 1: you've noticed differently about this team, I mean, not not 92 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,680 Speaker 1: really much of a change perspective, but it helps me 93 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,840 Speaker 1: notice even more how much of a close team this is. 94 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:22,840 Speaker 1: Being on the sideline a little bit, you know what 95 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:27,280 Speaker 1: I mean, being more of a spectator and viewer than 96 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,719 Speaker 1: actually being in It helps me see what type of 97 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,039 Speaker 1: team it actually is. And you know, I definitely like 98 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,360 Speaker 1: the progression and where the team is right now as 99 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,279 Speaker 1: far as like being a team, you know, and I 100 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,479 Speaker 1: think in this league you see more and more that 101 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:44,279 Speaker 1: you know, anybody can get beat by anybody, and you know, 102 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 1: a lot of times it comes down to the last 103 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 1: two minutes of a game, sometimes last two minutes of 104 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,719 Speaker 1: a half, and uh, I feel like those teams that 105 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,040 Speaker 1: are really close, that play together and and play as 106 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,040 Speaker 1: a family are a lot of times the ones that 107 00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:00,120 Speaker 1: prevail in those last two minutes. How did you get 108 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,719 Speaker 1: down on to on Monday night? I guess that closeness 109 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,159 Speaker 1: you're talking about, it's just like when when we're down 110 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 1: at times, or when a bad play happens or anything 111 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 1: like that. I don't see anybody bitching at each other, 112 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 1: or I don't see the defense complaining if the offense 113 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 1: doesn't score. I don't see the offense complaining if the 114 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,600 Speaker 1: defense gives up a touchdown or you know, special teams 115 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:21,920 Speaker 1: gives up a big run. I don't see anybody. It's 116 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:25,160 Speaker 1: like everyone seems to have each other's back and play together, 117 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 1: and uh, you know, it's all like a positive reinforcement 118 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 1: type of stuff.
