1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,480
Speaker 1: Wondering how you're feeling. And if you think, you know,

2
00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:05,200
Speaker 1: there's a hundred percent chances are you're playing someday, And

3
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:08,480

4
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:12,600
Speaker 1: you know I've been taking it every day by day. Um.

5
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 1: You know the train has got a good plan for me.

6
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:17,160
Speaker 1: I'm just sticking to the plan. Man. It feels good

7
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:19,800
Speaker 1: to be back out there practice with the guys. Get

8
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:22,200
Speaker 1: moved around, man, get the bluff flowing a little bit.

9
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:26,080
Speaker 1: Does it matter at all that it's the Cowboys. I

10
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 1: think you've talked before about how you grew up watching Giants. Cowboys,

11
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 1: it bothered you last year that they talked a little

12
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 1: bit of smack when they beat you in Week one?

13
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:37,239
Speaker 1: Is there anything to you trying to get back for

14
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 1: this game specifically? And you know kind of turned the

15
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 1: course of this six wins in a row for the

16
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,839
Speaker 1: Cowboys against the Giants. I mean, like I said, man,

17
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:49,559
Speaker 1: we're taking the day by day. Um. You know, obviously

18
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 1: it doesn't need to be said how much this game needs, um,

19
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 1: how much this game has meant for years. Um, but

20
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 1: you know the day, man, you just gotta keep taking

21
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 1: the day by day. Listen to the listen to the

22
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 1: Chinese staff. Yeah, you know, we'll see where it goes.

23
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 1: And if I could ask one more. I know you

24
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,400
Speaker 1: didn't play last week, but Ryan Lewis came in here

25
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 1: and kind of played good, played well at that second

26
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: outside cornerback position. Uh, you were probably watching on TV

27
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 1: like us, or maybe you were there, But what did

28
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 1: you see from Brian Lewis as maybe he could stabilize

29
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 1: that spot? Well. Rod Low has always been a hard

30
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 1: worker since he's got here. Um, you know, he he

31
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 1: knows the nature of this league and you know, he

32
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 1: he's he's came in here at home then on his

33
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 1: technique and his fundamentals, and you know we saw it

34
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 1: in practice. So I'm just happy that when he got

35
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 1: his number call, he went out there and uh, you

36

38
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 1: can further injure the the the ankle if you play

39
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: on it. You know you gotta talk to coach about

40
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 1: that and how just how does it feel. How do

41
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,480

43
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:08,920
Speaker 1: prove to them in the next two days? So like,

44
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:12,239
Speaker 1: like where just what's the next step for you moving forward?

45
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,920
Speaker 1: You know, the China is put together a good plan

46
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 1: for me, and I'm just I'm just sticking to the plan, man,

47
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: taking the day by day. Is there when when it happened,

48
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,239
Speaker 1: did you were you worried that this was gonna be

49
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 1: a long term thing? When when you came you kind

50
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 1: of came down and looked like on somebody. You know,

51
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 1: you always worry when you know something like that happens.

52
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 1: But uh, you know, my my m R eyes and

53
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 1: my X rays came back clean, so you know that

54
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,959
Speaker 1: that that kind of ease ease my mind a bit.

55
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,639
Speaker 1: But you know, like I said, man, it's just it's

56
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: still a process. You know, I gotta listened to the chiners,

57
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: get in there for my treatment, you know, continue with

58
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 1: the process, and if you can get back out there,

59
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:02,360
Speaker 1: how do you feel about returning right away? Well, you know,

60
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,120

62
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: definite difference between how the ankle felt last week and

63
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: how it felt this week in practice? You know, we

64
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 1: had to talk to the the coach about that. You know,

65
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,240
