Speaker 1: and Heavening of all with helping me come back, um

18
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 1: since to try to be the player I was before.

19
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:51,599
Speaker 1: So um. But with that being said, I know it's

20
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 1: a lot of hard work, um, and I've just been

21
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 1: coming in every single day, one step at the time

22
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 1: and try and get every single day. How hard is

23
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 1: it to balance the hard work with the pace because

24
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:04,919
Speaker 1: I'm sure you want to go faster than the trainers do, right, Yeah, exactly. Um,

25
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, you definitely have to be patient. Um.

26
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, you gotta know

27
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:10,959
Speaker 1: your body, You gotta know yourself, You gotta know when

28
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,759
Speaker 1: you can push yourself. Um. But you know it's longevity.

29
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 1: Obviously this is a little mindless setback, but you wouldn't

30
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 1: use this and make you come stronger and and to

31
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 1: to continue. You have a long last career um and

32
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 1: and that's the goal. So just trying to be smart

33
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,199
Speaker 1: with it. Um. You know, take the tips to helpful

34

Speaker 1: tips from from my doctors, from my trainer on my team. Um.

35
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: And you know, taking one day at a time, last

36
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 1: thing on injury. You fully expect that as the way

37
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 1: the way he rehab is going. Once you get the

38
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 1: camp in this season, you should be good to go.

39
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,960

Speaker 1: roll and um, you know I can't really put no

43
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 1: expectations of when it's gonna be or when it's not

61
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: sure you watched last year. After injury, the running game

62
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 1: shifted a little bit right. I felt like they went

63
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,640
Speaker 1: a lot more gap scheme downhill stuff. As you watch that,

64
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: did you envision how once you were healthy, how you

65
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 1: could fit into the type of stuff they were able

66
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 1: to do last year. Yeah, especially, um, you know, we

67
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 1: have a nice little stretch where um, you know, we

68
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: started really dominating in the run game and uh with

69
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,919
Speaker 1: with Wayne, with with Offer and all those guys, um,

70
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: you know, doing a great job of you know, building

71
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: that relationship up front. Um. So yeah, it sucked though,

72
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 1: not being to be out there and uh and and

73
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: be able to contribute, but just watching it and watching

74
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 1: on film and then especially now uh no, not just

75
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 1: watching on TV, but going back and and watching the

76
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 1: clips from last year and the only actually filming breaking

77
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 1: it down and seeing, um, you know how special that

78
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: that group is upfront. Um, I think, um, you know,

79
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 1: I think we can we can really uh shocks of

80
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 1: people and do some very special things in the run game,

81
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 1: and um, not only within the downhill in the gaps game.

82
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: I think it could be a little more virtatile. Um,

83
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 1: whether it's in whether it's in wy zone, outside zone. Um,

84
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: you know, uh, something that to be able to protect

85
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: that because everyone knows we're pretty good gat Schame team.

86
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: But um, at the end of the day of you

87
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 1: can't stop, you can't stop. So I'm just excited to

88
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 1: whenever it is to be able to be back out

89
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 1: there with those guys and um, just get back to

90
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: playing football and doing what I love doing. Two more,

91
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 1: is it exciting to see and and a young offensive

92
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 1: line kind of grow together before your eyes and to

93
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 1: know that you guys together can be part of this

94
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,840
Speaker 1: for a long time as you all kind of grow together. Yeah.

95
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: I remember after the Pittsburgh game, you know, um, you

96
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 1: know in a run game, we we didn't have our

97
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 1: best game. UM. You know started with me. Uh, And

98
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 1: I remember pulling those guys together after the game and

99
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 1: tell them that, um, you know, we're gonna figure saying out.

100
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: And obviously unfortunately I wasn't able to to contribute to that.

101
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 1: But you can see throughout the season, UM, just to

102
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,039
Speaker 1: growth in the maturity and and just see where this

103
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 1: the officsive line was was going to and then what

104
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 1: we're gonna continue to grow to. UM. And you know

105
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 1: we still have some much potential of sky's limit, um,

106
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 1: but we know we have very talented, young talented group. UM.

107
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: And we're just more reps, more more time together. UM,

108
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,720
Speaker 1: just getting that getting those fields and mentioned well together. UM.

109
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: You know, I think we can we can get back

110
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: to to what we want to be. The final question, uh,

111
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 1: second year in the offense and then throw in Kyle

112
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 1: rod Off throwing a Kenny Golladay, throw in a k

113
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:16,920

00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:18,280
Speaker 1: You guys can see it. He's smiling on a year

115
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 1: to year right now? Is like, as I mentioned the names,

116
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:21,599
Speaker 1: what can this offense look like this year? What's the

117
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 1: ceiling the players that you mentioned, um, not only those

118
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 1: players with the players that we have before. UM, just

119
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,039
Speaker 1: so much talent on off side of the ball. But

120
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, you know, it all

121
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 1: starts coming in and working, you know, UM, coming to

122
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:37,160
Speaker 1: work and understand the system, getting it down, uh in

123
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 1: the meeting rooms and then translating to the football field

124
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:43,479
Speaker 1: and UM taking on from there. And yes, the town

125
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,280
Speaker 1: that we added. UM, you know, I think I think

126
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,599
Speaker 1: we're gonna look very different than we've looked in the

127
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: past couple of years. UM. But the only way that

128
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 1: works if you know, we stick to the script. All

129
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,840
Speaker 1: buy in um to to with Judge and and coach
