1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:02,720
Speaker 1: On a normal week in the in the NFL, and

2
00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:05,440
Speaker 1: you play a hard game on Sunday, what's the day

3
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:10,040
Speaker 1: of the week following that where you start to feel normal? Um.

4
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:12,280
Speaker 1: I'm staying kind of closer to the end of the

5
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:16,280
Speaker 1: end of the week, you know, especially with us practicing

6
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 1: UM throughout the week. UM, you kind of start something

7
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:25,119
Speaker 1: like yourself towards like Friday, and you Saturday more of

8
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:29,120
Speaker 1: a recovery day. UM, getting treatments to make sure that

9
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 1: you feel good on Sunday. How tough is it to

10
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:35,599
Speaker 1: be ready both physically and mentally for a game on

11
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:40,840
Speaker 1: Thursday after playing on Sunday. Um, it's it's it's extremely tough. UM.

12
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 1: It's based off the fact that your recovery time and

13
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 1: your preparation time is basically splitting half. UM. But the

14
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:51,280
Speaker 1: good thing about playing on on Thursday, I would say,

15
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 1: is it's not too much physical so UM, the recovery,

16
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 1: UM it's still there. UM you personally, I mean I

17
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 1: played a deep part of the majority of the time. UM.

18
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 1: It's probably different for you know, the lineman and the

19
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:09,759
Speaker 1: running backs were constantly UM hitting UM. But for me, UM,

20
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:13,559
Speaker 1: I usually feel pretty good on Thursday night games just UM,

21
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 1: because it's no physical during the week, it's usually no running,

22
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 1: UM using more walkthroughs and then UM. After that, the

23
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:24,119
Speaker 1: hardest thing is just the mental aspect of the game.

24
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 1: I'm trying to cram everything in and basically, UM. Two

25
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: and a half days after a couple of communications breakdowns

26
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 1: in the loss at Detroit, it looked as though the

27
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,960
Speaker 1: secondary was all on the same page. Sunday against the Dolphins,

28
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:40,400
Speaker 1: did you feel that was an improvement as well? Oh? Yeah,

29
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 1: I mean we were all obviously had a lot of

30
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 1: energy for that game, and UM, everybody just wanted to

31
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 1: just play the best game that they could. So everybody

32
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 1: made sure that they did a good job of doing

33
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: their jobs communicating. UM and some umstances instances UM over communicating,

34
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: just to make sure that everybody was on the same

35
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 1: page and so that we can go out there and

36
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: play fast and physical aggressive. What do you What can

37
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: you tell us about Andrew Luck obviously missed all of

38
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 1: last season and he's been back to start this year.

39
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 1: You've played against him a few times. What can you

40
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:20,679
Speaker 1: tell us about him? A great quarterback? He still has

41
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 1: that eccuracy that he has. UM, I'm still physical, tough guy,

42
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 1: to bring down Um really makes his team go everything

43
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: kind of launch student Um. Um. He does a good

44
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:34,640
Speaker 1: job of always to making sure there in the right

45
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 1: pool again the ball out of the time, and really really,

46
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: I mean it's really not too much a standing since

47
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 1: he came back from that surgery. I mean his arm

48
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 1: is still strong. He gets the ball wherever he needs

49
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: to want to fail. Um doing a great job of

50
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: making a great decisions. So I mean we're gonna have

51
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:55,079
Speaker 1: a tough task Um tomorrow night and going against him

52
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 1: such a great quarterback based on your experience because of

53
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 1: the short time period between the Sunday game in the

54
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:04,519
Speaker 1: Thursday game, does the does the playbook get dumbed down

55
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: a little bit? Do they try to take it a

56
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 1: little easier on you guys from the mental part point

57
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 1: of view, just because you don't have the normal time

58
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 1: that you'd have to install a defensive game plan. Well,

59
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 1: I would say, Um, not necessarily. I mean, we tried

60
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: to steal Um do what we think it's gonna be

61
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 1: best to give us the best sense to win. I mean,

62
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: but the great thame Um about this. We get to

63
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 1: basically walk through so many plays because it's not really

64
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: a practice so we get to work out coverages. Um,

65
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 1: everybody gets to you know, talk it through. So I

66
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 1: wouldn't say at all we have to dumb it down.

67
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: I just think that the idea of having to walk

68
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: through and given us the amount of time to walk

69
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 1: through probably a hundred players a day, which is more

70
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 1: than what we will practice in a game week. Um,

71
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: it will be. It'll be beneficial for us. What's it

72
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 1: like having Julian Edelman back in the locker room and

73
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 1: back at practice. I'll tell you one thing. You know,

74
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: you know that man is in the building where he walks.

75
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 1: MANU just based off his uh, his personality. But it's

76
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 1: great man. Joel was a great team name, obviously a

77
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 1: great football player, and we're excited to have him back.

78
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 1: I will say this. Uh late in the week last week,

79
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 1: there was some footage of Tom Brady dancing on the

80
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 1: practice field in the bubble. How do you how do

81
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 1: you how do you rate Tom's dance moves? Oh? Then

82
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:32,039
Speaker 1: the negative thing? He just man any white has it

83
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 1: out back. Tom Brady is a great quarterback, but when

84
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,600
Speaker 1: it comes to dancing, uh yeah, we'll leave that to

85
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 1: days of White Duran. Thank you very much. We appreciate

86
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 1: the time. Good luck tomorrow night, and we'll talk to

87
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 1: you next week. That sounds good. I'm a good guy.

88
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:45,159
Speaker 1: Thank
