• 3:47
  Speaker 4: And now with the new year's coming up on men
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: or do you have anyw Year's resolutions on the field

  Speaker 4: or were even off the field for yourself?
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Uh, you know, just go in and take this new

  Speaker 2: can be, and just come back next year at a
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: peace mind and go go out and compete at a
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: high level.
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: Good chance to start Sunday. You chance you've been waiting
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: for this year. I know, yeah, no doubt.
• 4:11
  Speaker 7: I'm just pumped for myself, just to get over the
• 4:14
  Speaker 7: knee injury to see that it hasn't hampered me and
• 4:17
  Speaker 7: I can still go out and play at a high level.
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: So that's the biggest thing for me. And then she'd be.
• 4:21
  Speaker 7: Out there with the boys and I know the season's lost,
• 4:24
  Speaker 7: but go out and put our best foot forward, put
• 4:26
  Speaker 7: stuff on tape.
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: That's what it's about.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: A lot of people are asking today about motivation, a
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: sense you won't have trouble getting motivated.
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: No chance.
• 4:33
  Speaker 7: It's the NFL that everyone watches the tape. Everything matters.
• 4:36
  Speaker 7: It's it, plain and simple.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: How difficult was just the rehab process and the knee
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: injury that you're looking back on it now.
• 4:44
  Speaker 7: It was very difficult, just because those first couple of
• 4:46
  Speaker 7: weeks back at practice when you're not.
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: You don't got that pop.
• 4:49
  Speaker 7: You're just like because the coaches are waiting to see
• 4:52
  Speaker 7: if you can do it in practice before they put
• 4:54
  Speaker 7: you in stuff like that. So that was the hardest part.
• 4:56
  Speaker 7: But it's just a great feeling when you get in
• 4:59
  Speaker 7: the game. That adrenaline kicks in and everything. You feel
• 5:02
  Speaker 7: stronger than you did before, which is crazy. That's how
• 5:05
  Speaker 7: I felt.
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: When did you feel back to normal after that?
• 5:10
  Speaker 7: I want to say, I mean Minnesota was my first
• 5:13
  Speaker 7: game back, and even playing on special teams in that game.
• 5:17
  Speaker 7: Once I got in the game, it felt fine. And
• 5:19
  Speaker 7: it's crazy the scar tissue it but whatever neurological things like,
• 5:25
  Speaker 7: it hurts, but you're faster and stronger, so it's just
• 5:28
  Speaker 7: kind of getting over that pain factor basically.
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: So I mean I've felt good since since Minnesota. Probably
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: two division games left. Chance to sweep both these teams
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: this year.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's that'd be big.
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: Right, no doubt.
• 5:41
  Speaker 7: I mean, you always want to have success in the division,
• 5:45
  Speaker 7: so yeah. And for me, it's a game that they
• 5:47
  Speaker 7: keep score, so that's all that matters.
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: I'm wondering if you have any cool Christmas traditions and
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: how was your day yesterday as well?
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: Are you?
• 5:55
  Speaker 7: I mean, back when I didn't have a job, used
• 5:58
  Speaker 7: to go to my grandparents out out in western Nebraska
• 6:01
  Speaker 7: and we'd go duck hunting and pheasant hunting. But had
• 6:05
  Speaker 7: a great day yesterday, but with my old lady, so
• 6:08
  Speaker 7: just me and her, so it was good.
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: With New Year's coming up, any New Year's resolutions for
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: yourself on the field or even.
• 6:14
  Speaker 7: Off the field, don't really believe in New Year's resolutions.
• 6:18
  Speaker 7: But play more golf than I already do.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: Good.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: Sorry it was a little late.
• 6:24
  Speaker 6: Sorry.
• 6:24
  Speaker 5: If you answer the question, you're good obviously.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: You know these last two games you just talked about it,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: they're keeping a score, so these games matter, and you
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: know how big would it be to come out here?
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: And put some good performances on. Taking the momentum.
• 6:34
  Speaker 7: Standpoint, Yeah, it's big for everyone. You know, you play
• 6:37
  Speaker 7: for your football whether you think you've made it or
• 6:39
  Speaker 7: you haven't made it, You're always playing for your football life.
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: You can never slack off in this league.
• 6:43
  Speaker 7: You gotta put the work in and go play hard,
• 6:45
  Speaker 7: and you gotta stay focused these next two weeks and
• 6:50
  Speaker 7: maybe create a little I don't really believe in the
• 6:52
  Speaker 7: momentum off coming off a whim, but yeah, you can
• 6:54
  Speaker 7: create a little bit of momentum for yourself by going
• 6:57
  Speaker 7: out and playing great.
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: As a bit.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: Is this something that you kind of expressed to some
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: of the young guys who obviously seem that are getting
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: a little bit more you know right out there on
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: the field.
• 7:04
  Speaker 7: Absolutely, you have to stay locked in. You gotta go
• 7:07
  Speaker 7: out and execute. You gotta play like you play like
• 7:10
  Speaker 7: you know you're playing in the playoffs where every game matters,
• 7:12
  Speaker 7: every game treat it. Treat the Super Bowl the same
• 7:15
  Speaker 7: as preseason week one. So that's kind of the message.
• 7:19
