1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:01,760
Speaker 1: That's how I feel to get back doing a little

2
00:00:01,760 --> 00:00:04,120
Speaker 1: bit of individual work today. It feels good, you know,

3
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:07,640
Speaker 1: getting my feedback on it's a good him. Do you

4
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:10,240
Speaker 1: feel an urgency to get back on the field before

5
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:13,160
Speaker 1: cut down days and listen to me? Nah? I trust

6
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 1: my ability. I trust the chance they're gonna get me

7
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:17,720
Speaker 1: out there as someone's like they can't, someone's I'm ready.

8
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 1: Do you thought in your mind of maybe what you

9
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 1: hope to show them in whatever limited capacity you have

10
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:26,319
Speaker 1: between now and cut down deck? I mean, of course,

11
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:28,960
Speaker 1: as an athlete, you want to show your best ability. Yeah,

12
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:33,600
Speaker 1: So what would you say that is my best ability?

13
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:36,839
Speaker 1: Just being me? You know, athlete, I'm an athlete's meet.

14
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 1: What would you say? It's your strong suit? Okay? Name?

15
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:45,480
Speaker 1: I got so many of them, you know. So how

16
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 1: how how would you describe after you went out the

17
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,200
Speaker 1: second time with the injury, having to watch with sideline.

18
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, you push us out to a

19
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 1: certain point, he's certain things bound to happen. You know,

20
00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 1: I just gotta bounce that. You gotta handle like a pro.

21
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 1: Getting a sense of talking to you last year having

22
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 1: to watch and then in the spring and how anxious

23
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,199
Speaker 1: you were I would imagine it wasn't easy to watch

24
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: kind of camp go without you. No, it's never easy

25
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 1: to watch practice. You know, it's like you're watching recess.

26
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 1: It's not fine. When you got hurt a few weeks back,

27
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 1: was there any thought in your mind that it would

28
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 1: wind up lingering this long, that you will not be

29
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:29,400
Speaker 1: able to get back on the field. I mean, with

30
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: soft tissue injury, you don't want to rush back. You

31
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 1: wanna take a good time. You know, if you rush back,

32
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: your chances of they you run it again. You know,

33
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 1: you know, you don't want to ruin it's the right

34
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:39,559
Speaker 1: of the season. So I mean, I'd rather go down

35
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 1: earlier than later. So is what it is. M of

36
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 1: those qualities that we talked about earlier. Um, yeah, the

37
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 1: qualities to make you a player. Do you think the

38
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 1: giants know that you have them? Or do you still

39
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: have to show that to them a little bit? I

40
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: mean I feel like they knew. I mean, it put

41
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 1: me up. They seem what they've seen. But I still

42
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 1: be an athlete. You still got to show you the best,

43
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, So you'll give it you all,

44
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: you know, I still want to give them all, even

45
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 1: though they seem a little bit of me. So Sam,

46
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 1: I think it's all me is you're gonna be here

47
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: one way or the other. I mean, even know where

48
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,799
Speaker 1: it's debating that you are certainly would be a possibility.

49
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 1: If you don't get on the field during the preseason.

50
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not going back. How clothes are you?

51
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 1: I mean, can you play on third day? I mean

52
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 1: I trust the changes. You know they know the body

53
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 1: or not? Do you know what I mean? I'm just athlete.

54
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 1: You don't mean to take care of myself. Tell you

55
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 1: what they tell what to do? I do it? Yeah,

56
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,119
Speaker 1: But based off of how you're feeling, do you feel

57
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:40,119
Speaker 1: like you could make a start and I could play

58
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 1: with a bad himing or with a bad you know

59
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 1: whatout it? You can look at it. I guess one

60
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,519
Speaker 1: of two ways. Right, you're getting it. It's an important week.

61
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 1: It's the last game of the prettseason. Um, if they

62
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 1: were pushing you, you almost that, I would imagine you're

63
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 1: almost looking and go okay, well and then push your

64
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:59,639
Speaker 1: But so I gotta show something or because it seems

65
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 1: like they're being cautious. Is that and a little bit

66
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 1: of validation the idea that you're not being pressured into saying,

67
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 1: you know what, Sam, it's you gotta show us something. Yeah,

68
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,679
Speaker 1: we've got great changes. They're gonna take care of you.

69
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,839
Speaker 1: You know, they know you've got something that can inger wrong.

70
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 1: They won't let it linger something. They're gonna take care

71
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 1: of me and not trust him. Don't they trust me?

72
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 1: So but you really have no choice if they say

73
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 1: we're gonna put you on a I are I mean,

74
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 1: I can't end I mean within the way to have

75
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: a choice. I mean, but I'm pretty sure that they mind.

76
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: And with my little my flashes, I don't think they

77
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 1: have put me back on. Is it because of what

78
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 1: you were able to show in the spring that you're

79
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: you're confident in what they saw in you in the offseason?

80
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: If possibly, you know, I bring, you know, different assets

81
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: to the table, but again kind of different. I mean

82
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: they see that, you know, I talked to the coaches.

83
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: I'm kind of smarting from I do my job so

84
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 1: how they asked me to do so, so they won't
