00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:08,000
Speaker 1: I felt good. It felt good out there, and uh

4
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:12,079
Speaker 1: I've been working with the trainers and and uh you know,

5
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:13,720
Speaker 1: made a lot of progress the last couple of days.

6
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:16,400
Speaker 1: So I'll continue to listen to them and and uh

7
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 1: continue to um do what I can to be back

8
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:22,440
Speaker 1: out there and not either to be ready for Sunday.

9
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, I mean it's early in the week, so

10
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 1: I'm uh just trying to do everything I can day

11
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 1: by day to to get back there. But like I said,

12
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 1: I'm feeling good. I'm feeling a lot better today. Would

13
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 1: you consider yourself full today or did you? Were you

14
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 1: limited afternoon? We only see the individual part of practice.

15
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 1: Um yeah, I mean I think I was, um, you know,

16
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:44,880
Speaker 1: in and out a little bit at sometimes and uh

17
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:47,519
Speaker 1: but like I said, overall felt good and felt like

18
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 1: I could do most things. I don't know if are

19
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 1: the red high tops something you wear inside or is

20
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 1: this new for the sprained ankle or uh the same

21
00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 1: same shoes I wore last year, so um yeah, I

22
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: was wearing a little bit differently before this, but these

23
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: same shoes that were lash, but it does give more

24
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 1: support eyes him a little bit. Yeah, how did you

25
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 1: feel on Sunday night? And and what you was? Did

26
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 1: you go home concerned about what this? Like? What what

27
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:15,399
Speaker 1: this week? Maybe like you know, we were pretty sore

28
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 1: after the game or uh yeah, I was pretty story

29
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 1: after the game. But uh, you know it was was

30
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 1: you know, didn't know exactly you know, what was going on,

31
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 1: but but felt sore. And you know you're sore after

32
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 1: most games, so uh kind of you know, used to that.

33
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 1: But um, yeah, like I said, feel a lot better there.

34
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 1: Your legs are such a big part of your game. Um,

35
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 1: would you be concerned going on the field if you

36
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:44,960
Speaker 1: didn't have complete full capacity use in your legs and

37
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 1: as a weapon on the field. Um, you know, I think, uh,

38
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 1: you know, for one, Sunday's a little bit, a little

39
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: bit away, so I think I'll continue to progress throughout

40
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 1: the week and see how I feel. But uh confident

41
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,279
Speaker 1: my ability to uh throw from the pocket, throw outside

42
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,559
Speaker 1: of the pocket, and and uh make plays from both.

43
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 1: What does you say about this team that in your

44
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:10,399
Speaker 1: mind that you're number one right now and in rushing guards, Uh,

45
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 1: you know, number one in the league in that or

46
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 1: do they think I saw stat today it's the most

47
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: shorts his teams that had since nineteen fifties, six after

48
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 1: four games. Um, what does that say about this team?

49
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: And and just maybe does that help if the quarterbacks

50
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,959
Speaker 1: limit a little bit that you are such a but

51
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,399
Speaker 1: this team has such a good rushing game. Uh yeah,

52
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 1: I mean I think it's a huge credit to the

53
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 1: guys up front. Um starts with them, and they've been

54
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 1: doing a good job control the line of scrimmage and

55
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: opening up holes for uh, for sake, Quam for Brita,

56
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:44,959
Speaker 1: for myself, for anybody round the ball. So, um, you know,

57
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: we'll continue to to lean on that and those guys

58
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: that played well. Don't know if you were asked this,

59
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: but but there any lessons that you were able to

60
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 1: get from uh the Arizona game a couple of years

61
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: ago when you came back from the hamstring. Uh, we

62
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: couldn't really move around the pocket, and and well they're

63
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,359
Speaker 1: having another injury on that in that game. I think

64
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 1: that was a different situation and a different injury. So uh,

65
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: you know, I treat each one of them differently depending

66
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: on what it is and how I'm feeling. But um, yeah,

67
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:18,360
Speaker 1: so I'll go forward like that. So the opening calls

68
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: naked bootleg and you go running around the end. I

69
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,119
Speaker 1: don't We're early in the week, you haven't talked openers yet.

70
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 1: You'll probably ask, but how good did you feel moving

71
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,679
Speaker 1: around out there today? I felt good? I felt good.

72
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 1: Um yeah, so, uh, you know, I made a lot

73
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: of progress these last couple of days, and we'll continue

74
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 1: to do what they tell me to do in the

75
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: training room. Uh as I go through the week, is

76
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 1: there anything to having a long term view of this, Like,

77
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: even if you can play, would it possibly be smarter

78
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 1: to rest it so that your full strength the following week?

79
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 1: Or do you not think that way? Um? Yeah, I

80
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: mean I think you prepare each week to to play

81
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: and and uh, you know, obviously there's uh, you know,

82
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: you've got to make a decision at the end of

83
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 1: the week depending on how you feel. But I feel

84
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 1: good and I'm gonna do everything I can to be

85
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 1: out there. Brian before practice said he wasn't surprised you

86
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 1: there because he said he's a tough guy. How much

87
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 1: pride to you taking that tough is it? How important

88
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:21,840
Speaker 1: is that to your position? I think it's really important. Um,

89
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 1: I think it's really important in this position or any position.

90
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 1: And you know, we got a lot of tough guys

91
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:31,039
Speaker 1: on the team, uh tough groups, so um yeah, I

92
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 1: think uh a lot of guys you know, throughout the

93
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 1: year get banged up and dealing with little things here

94
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:37,720
Speaker 1: and there, and everyone's trying to be out there. So

95
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 1: I'm no different. Um. I want to ask a question,

96
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 1: It's not about an injury. Um, how much do you

97
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 1: think you've grown under Gabs and a new offensive coordinator

98
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 1: and the new coaching staff, Like do you feel like

99
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: you've gotten to be better at certain things under this

100
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:58,599
Speaker 1: new regime here? Um? Yeah, I mean I think things

101
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 1: uh here and there improved on and uh I think

102
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 1: the uh, you know, decision making is something I've tried

103
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: to focus on, making decisions quickly and getting the ball

104
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 1: out of my hands, getting outside of the pocket if

105
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 1: I need to, and uh making plays with my legs.

106
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:17,720
Speaker 1: But you know, overall, just making quicker decisions and and uh,

107
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:19,720
Speaker 1: you know, being smart with the football. So I think

108
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 1: I made progress with that
