1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:01,680
Speaker 1: You said you're feeling better.

2
00:00:01,680 --> 00:00:04,240
Speaker 2: I think coach was saying that it that you didn't

3
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:07,280
Speaker 2: feel that it almost sounded like it was a step back.

4
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:10,720
Speaker 2: So how do you explain how you felt today? Yeah,

5
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 2: I mean I'm still still a little bit sore, you know, So, yeah,

6
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 2: just trying to trying to get better every day, and

7
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 2: you know that's where I'm focused.

8
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 1: Were you surprised to wake up and feel that'sarn's based

9
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:25,079
Speaker 1: on how you know yesterday?

10
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 3: No, not necessarily.

11
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 2: I think yeah, I felt felt a little better every day,

12
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:33,839
Speaker 2: so just trying to continue to do that.

13
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 3: Didn't.

14
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 2: Do you have any concern about this being a potential

15
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:39,160
Speaker 2: long termsoot, No, I don't.

16
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 1: This is something that's like a whiplash thing in the

17
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 1: sense that when you got hit from behind you your

18
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 1: head looked like it snapped a little.

19
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I think yeah that I think that

20
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 2: was kind of the mechanism of the injury. But you know,

21
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 2: like I said, I think, uh, you know, I'm focused

22
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 2: on on healing up and and I'm a little a

23
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 2: little sore today and and I'll keep getting better throughout

24
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:05,679
Speaker 2: the week.

25
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 3: It gives you confidence that it's not a long term thing.

26
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 2: Uh, just what the injury is and and kind of

27
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 2: the uh you know, how they expect it to heal.

28
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 3: What does.

29
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, yeah it feels different. Yeah, it's not not

30
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:25,919
Speaker 2: the same injury.

31
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 1: And and what Brian Davis said that you were more

32
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 1: sore today, so you just said getting better every day.

33
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 1: So you know, what's you know, what's going on here

34
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:38,919
Speaker 1: because he does he seem.

35
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I'm still a little sore. I think, uh,

36
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,839
Speaker 2: that's probably what what he was talking about. And and

37
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 2: uh yeah, so I'm just focused on improving daily and

38
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 2: and trying to uh, trying to get back out there.

39
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 3: Is the goal still to play Sunday? And what were

40
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 3: the results of the m R.

41
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, the goal is still to play Sunday. That's certainly

42
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 2: my goal, and and that's what I'm working on. So

43
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 2: I'm preparing to preparing to play like I always would

44
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 2: and taking the advice of the doctors and trainers.

45
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 3: Nobody was Yeah, it wasn't uh, it wasn't negative.

46
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 2: I think, uh, you know, as far as what exactly

47
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:20,639
Speaker 2: the m R I said, you know, I'm not gonna

48
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 2: discuss that necessarily, but it was it wasn't negative necessarily,

49
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,519
Speaker 2: And and like I said, I'll continue to get better

50
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:29,959
Speaker 2: every day.

51
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: Concern with a second nech issue in your.

52
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:39,079
Speaker 2: Career, Yeah, I'm not not, you know, concerned. I think

53
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 2: this is something I'll be able to recover from quickly.

54
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 2: And like I said, my goal is to play on Sunday.

55
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 1: Is it something you can push through here or do

56
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 1: you have to kind of be careful with the nature

57
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: of the injury.

58
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 2: I think, Uh, you know, we'll see how how it feels,

59
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 2: you know, tomorrow, and then you know, day day by day,

60
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 2: kind of taking it at that point at that pace,

61
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 2: and then listen to the doctors and trainers.

62
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 3: So yeah, I'm just focused on that right now.

63
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:08,799
Speaker 2: Did you know did you go to did you leave

64
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 2: the area to get tests done or did you stay

65
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 2: in New York? No?

66
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 3: I stayed here, Daniel given them.

67
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: You know, the pounding that quarterback takes and the way

68
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 1: you run and are getting sacked, the way you feel now,

69
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 1: can you envision being cleared for contact and you know,

70
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 1: absorbing that kind of contact.

71
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I think, like I said, my goal

72
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 2: is to play on Sunday. So I'm going to continue

73
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 2: to improve day by day and and uh, you know,

74
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 2: I'm trying to kind of focus on that and what's

75
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 2: immediately in front of me and how I can how

76
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 2: I can get their best. So that's where I'm focused.

77
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 3: And practice more yours or the team doctor. It was both.

78
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 2: I mean I think, uh yeah, I'm gonna follow the

79
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 2: advice of the doctors and trainers. How much is it

80
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 2: you being have to be cleared for contact or is

81
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 2: it how much is it you feeling better to be.

82
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 3: Able to get on the field. I think Uh, I

83
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 3: think both. I mean I think, uh, you know, there's.

84
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 2: Communication with the doctors and trainers as far as how

85
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:17,039
Speaker 2: I'm feeling, and that has a lot to do with,

86
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,280
Speaker 2: uh the advice they give me. What do you need

87
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 2: to improve them to be able to get cleared by

88
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 2: the doctors? Just continue to heal and and feel better, uh,

89
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 2: day by day. The way to prevent that type of

90
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:33,479
Speaker 2: hit having if you played, though, So is that a

91
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:35,039
Speaker 2: concern that you could re enjoy and make it worse

92
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,720
Speaker 2: if you if you were to play. Yeah, I mean

93
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 2: it's a contact uh sports, physical sport. So I think, yeah,

94
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 2: the idea is to to recover and be healed and

95
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 2: uh yeah, that's the idea. So I'm trying to trying

96
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,160
Speaker 2: to get there as soon as possible. Uh, so I

97
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 2: can get back out.

98
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:58,280
Speaker 1: There just a little bit to play, or can you

99
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 1: go into a game and without simply.

100
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean my goal is to my goal is

101
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 2: to play in the game, and and uh, I'm gonna

102
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 2: do whatever I need to do to to get there.

103
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 2: And you know, obviously you'd like to like to practice

104
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 2: and prepare, but I'm gonna go through my process and

105
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 2: and do everything I would do in a normal week

106
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 2: that I'm able to do.

107
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,039
Speaker 3: Realistic. I think that is at this point.

108
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 2: I think it's tough to say today, it's uh has

109
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:29,480
Speaker 2: a lot to do with how I feel tomorrow the

110
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 2: day after that.

111
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,280
Speaker 3: So I'm just gonna continue to do what I can

112
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 3: to heal.

113
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 1: A couple of years ago, you were you were able

114
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 1: to go out on the practice field and throw a football,

115
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 1: but you never ended up coming back into a game.

116
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 3: So like, why is this time different.

117
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 2: That you can actually get back into a game, Because

118
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 2: we've seen you with a neck injury throwing looking pretty good,

119
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 2: but just never coming back. Like I said, I think

120
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,280
Speaker 2: it's a it's a different injury, it's different circumstance.

121
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 3: So you know, I'm not really comparing it

122
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 2: To that a couple years ago, but this was the

123
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,600
Speaker 2: advice from the doctors and trainers, so I'm going to

124
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 2: follow that
