Speaker 1: Private. Would you be able to play?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I wasn't. Like I said I was. It was
Speaker 2: truly questionable. And I know a lot of people say that.
Speaker 2: And you know, over the years of my career, every
Speaker 2: time I've been questionable, I pretty much ended up playing.
Speaker 2: So I noticed what you guys expected. I wanted to play.
Speaker 2: But like I said, I mean Thursday and Friday went okay,
Speaker 2: it didn't go as well as I expected. So it
Speaker 2: was truly questionable. I mean I just you know, long flight,
Speaker 2: you know, babe, A couple couple of days. Friday got
Speaker 2: some rehab, Saturday got some good rehab, and you know,
Speaker 2: to today, I decided to give it a go.
Speaker 1: Ankle flights or yeah what what? What exactly this?
Speaker 2: That? Uh? Just compression what we call game ready, you know,
Speaker 2: so you know you put a little cold compression on it.
Speaker 2: You try to keep the fluid out.
Speaker 1: Nah. How do you feel you came out of the
Speaker 1: game flight?
Speaker 2: Uh, I don't think I took a step back, So
Speaker 2: you know, I don't definitely didn't get any better, but
Speaker 2: you know, think no close seventy five to eighty percent.
Speaker 2: I think I'm feel still still around there.
Speaker 1: Good.
Speaker 2: How when you block or somebody's coming to your side,
Speaker 2: how do you knock cringe that the man just roll
Speaker 2: up right behind it. I just run hard as I can.
Speaker 2: And I know if I if I'm not running, it's
Speaker 2: a good chance I get rolled up. But if I
Speaker 2: just get out there and run, you know, still a
Speaker 2: good chance. It's still a chance you get rolled up,
Speaker 2: but less likely in keeping your feet moving. So I
Speaker 2: just try to especially when I'm out front, I could
Speaker 2: tell the ball carriers behind me. I just try to
Speaker 2: run and applot pressure on the on the whoever that
Speaker 2: that defender is, and you know, hopefully running back and
Speaker 2: make a miss and avoid me getting rolled.
Speaker 1: Up on coming around.
Speaker 2: No, uh huh, it's kind of weird cause you know, uh,
Speaker 2: thirty one turn around and ran. I ain't never seen that,
Speaker 2: so but yeah, I I didn't. I knew he was
Speaker 2: close because I could just tell the reaction of the
Speaker 2: guy in front of me, you know. But anytime I
Speaker 2: feel so comfortable with two, three or nineteen out there
Speaker 2: in the open fields, like, I just gotta get in
Speaker 2: a way long enough for them to make a decision.
Speaker 2: And once nineteen gets ahead of steam, it's really tough
Speaker 2: to bring 'em down.
Speaker 1: To take. I think it was huge. I think it
Speaker 1: was huge.
Speaker 2: Losing fourth straight would have been you know, I think
Speaker 2: a lot of a lot of people would have wanted
Speaker 2: to turn the panic lights on or you know, could
Speaker 2: have had.
Speaker 1: Our proverbial back against the wall.
Speaker 2: So I think, uh, coming out getting this win on
Speaker 2: the road against a really good team that's been rolling, uh,
Speaker 2: really good defense, really good players all around the field,
Speaker 2: you know, to come out here and get it, get
Speaker 2: a good win, I think it's definitely what we needed.
Speaker 1: Is that why it's so important for you to play
Speaker 1: it at this point weekend?
Speaker 2: But it was you want to play in this particular
Speaker 2: game so that you could keep those pay off.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then I miss it, man, I miss it,
Speaker 2: And hadn't you know, obviously been out there last c
Speaker 2: not being out there last couple of weeks and you know, uh,
Speaker 2: not being able to to contribute help my team, really
Speaker 2: it really sucks.
Speaker 1: And then you feel feel.
Speaker 2: Useless around the building, you know, when you're not out there, uh,
Speaker 2: contributing in a physical way.
Speaker 1: So yeah, it was important for me to get out there.
Speaker 2: And I told coach a week ago, if I got
Speaker 2: to seventy percent seventy five percent. I think I I
Speaker 2: was gonna give it a shot, you know, and it it,
Speaker 2: like I said, it was tough. I hadn't had any
Speaker 2: physical contact since Cleveland, so you know, I really been
Speaker 2: on the shelf for the last month, and you know,
Speaker 2: I still ain't We wasn't able to get any physical contact
Speaker 2: and practice cause obviously, you know, we were just wanting
Speaker 2: to see how it felt to get out and run.
Speaker 1: So you know today, Uh, I knew it. I knew
Speaker 1: it would be tough.
Speaker 2: I knew I'd be rusty, cause obviously you can't just
Speaker 2: wake up after a month off and go out there
Speaker 2: and pick up where you left off.
Speaker 1: So you.
Speaker 2: Were going to line today, how do you feel like
Speaker 2: his preparation was during the week and how do you
Speaker 2: how do you feel like you performed out today?
Speaker 1: Uh? I felt like he performed well.
Speaker 2: Like I said, I gotta watch the film to actually
Speaker 2: get a you know, give you a a my honest opinion,
Speaker 2: but from what from what it felt I got there,
Speaker 2: I felt like he played well.
Speaker 1: I'm I mean, Feliciano is a vet.
Speaker 2: He's not somebody who just you know, we signed off
Speaker 2: the street to undrafted rookie Es so like he he's
Speaker 2: there for depth. He's there for situations like this cause
Speaker 2: we know he can come in and still give high
Speaker 2: caliber left guard play, or or center play, or right
Speaker 2: guard for that matter.
Speaker 1: Alight, m all right,
