1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,560
Speaker 1: How much stronger because you need feeling. I feel a

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:05,880
Speaker 1: lot better. Um, I've just been making really good games

3
00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:08,440
Speaker 1: every day and just continuing to kind of bring back

4
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:11,240
Speaker 1: those uh reps in a different kind of motion and

5
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:13,720
Speaker 1: kind of getting comfortable back, you know, in my position.

6
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:16,239
Speaker 1: How are you deciding to each gay? How much you know?

7
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 1: Is that that day to day and process? Well, just

8
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 1: just trying to tolerate the pain and make sure I

9
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:22,279
Speaker 1: don't do too much and try to reaggravate it, you know,

10
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 1: make sure I really just uh do everything in my

11
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 1: capacity and just you know, continue to kind of push

12
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 1: that that envelope. Is there a specific hurdle that you

13
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:33,319
Speaker 1: kind of have to clear before you feel like you're

14
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:35,879
Speaker 1: good to go? I mean just being able to you know,

15
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 1: be safe and uncontrolled circumstances, you know, think about injuries.

16
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:42,839
Speaker 1: It's one thing when it's a controlled situation and you're

17
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 1: just working out, But once you start going against guys

18
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:47,279
Speaker 1: and you know you can't really control the variables, that's

19
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 1: when you see how strong you really are. How Um,

20
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 1: I've had some plays and team I got I've started

21
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 1: getting my flowback and getting team reps. But other than that,

22
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 1: I've been pretty limited, um, and just kind of really

23
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 1: just working on a mechanic of it. Differ to say

24
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 1: I want to play, but realize it's still sixteen more

25
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 1: games to go. Um. You know, I think that's where

26
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 1: I lean on my vets, you know, because it is

27
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:13,680
Speaker 1: a long season. This is my first one. You know,

28
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 1: I'm not really used to sitting out. I'm not used

29
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 1: to not being able to contribute, you know, but just

30
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 1: realizing how long the season is and kind of focusing

31
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 1: on what I can't control now, and you know, still

32
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 1: trying to be the best teammate and you know, the

33
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:26,320
Speaker 1: best person I could be, you know, to contribute to

34
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 1: the game. Something. No, I wouldn't call it unlikely. I

35
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 1: just we're still playing. I just want to make sure,

36
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 1: you know, we want to cross our teas and got

37
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:39,639
Speaker 1: our eyes before I get back out there. Is playing

38
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:41,680
Speaker 1: with the brace and getting used to that and trying

39
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 1: to figure out how comfortable. Um, yeah, you know the braces.

40
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 1: It's different, but it's not really two different. Um. I

41
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 1: think it's really just it's not evenally the brace, you know,

42
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: the bras kind of you get comfortable to that fast.

43
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 1: But I think it's the you know, the unknown, right

44
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 1: it's me being confident in that, you know, I won't

45
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 1: really have that class out over my head while I'm playing.

46
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 1: How is there any way to clear that mental hurdle

47
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: or is it just that you have to go out

48
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 1: there and do it. I got I gotta go do it.

49
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: I gotta go do it, and I gotta do it confidently,

50
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 1: and I have to do it, um, knowing that I

51
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,399
Speaker 1: can do it at the highest you know, my high stability.

52
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 1: Where are you in the process. Um, We're we're getting close.

53
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 1: Like I said, I'm just gonna keep um trying not

54
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 1: to live too far. We still got what's today, I'm

55
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 1: lost track of time. Today's Thursday, so we still got Friday, Saturday. Um,

56
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 1: but yeah, I'm really confident in this Sunday and told

57
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: you to relax and they'll take care of it for

58
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't I wouldn't say the word relaxed,

59
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,679
Speaker 1: but i'd say, you know, as a collective, the outside

60
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: linebacker group, everybody's been stepping up and everybody's still been contributing.

61
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,079
Speaker 1: You know, So even though me and disease are out,

62
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 1: we've still been trying to contribute to the bigger picture

63
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:47,679
Speaker 1: and still trying to you know, do what we can

64
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,840

00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 1: will come to you know how I feel, you know,

68
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,480

Speaker 1: you've had this much work, How do you feel? Or

71
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 1: is it the trainers? I mean, obviously it will still

72
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:11,000
