  Speaker 2: used to you know, twelve play drives or six play
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: drives and running around in pads, getting used to that
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: feeling again, that's gonna be the biggest part when.

• 2:02
  Speaker 2: Probably around around o t A s started really you know,
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: doing more drills, cutting, uh, stopping on a dime and

  Speaker 2: doing those types of things. How much the mental aspect

  Speaker 2: kind of forget that that injury was there and it's
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: not gonna come back here.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: I mean, for me, it's not a mental thing. Uh.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: I pray about everything, and so the the number one
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: thing has been prayer, uh and believing in what I'm
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: praying about, and that's to for God to heal my
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: knee and helping to get back and and feel great.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: And not have to think about anything that happened. We
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: heard the zero different this year, mommy being back exactly. Well, how.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: I I'm just I'm just here to play football. It
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: don't matter where they put me as long as they
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: put me on the field. So I'm not worried about
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: where I'm playing at. It's been great it's been great
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: that you see his face. You know, we missing for
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: the last year, but it's been great. It's it's it's
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: felt like you never left. And so I'm excited to
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: have him back, excited to get back and playing with him.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: But if you know, I never really talks to me,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: do you sort of know immediately able to injury happy
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: little it's serious. Yeah.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Uh, I've never been hurt before, to be honest with you,
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: but I knew when I got hurt something.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Something was wrong.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: Something.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: It's part of the toughest part.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: I don't think I had a tough part, to be
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: honest with you. I mean, the first week I was
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: out of the brace walking around, I felt great, like so,
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: I mean, I guess the toughest part is having to
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: watch practice and watch everybody else have fun.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: But you know, went on the road to getting back
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: to that. So you talk about what you guys, you know,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: like getting off about value, you know, getting walk with
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: them right away, you pass you back to the top.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: You woman at you.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: When you were able to walk. Yeah, I had my
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: first walk through today.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: Uh. It's great for the the the mental aspect. It's
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: not much running around. That's why the colored walkthroughs. But uh,
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: it's great for the mental part of just getting the
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: flow of what we're doing, some of the calls that
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: we're calling and some of the things offense like to do.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: It sounds like you worked out with Jamal a lot.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: How was How was that?
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: It was funny Jamal you you know, he's got a
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: heck of a personality. But honestly, I would say that
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: was probably the biggest uh booth from my recovery, was
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: kind of seeing him and how he was reacting to
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: his injury having fun every day during this rehab process
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: to kind of encourage me to, you know, to bring
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: that attitude to rehab every day.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: So it was great. It was great. It was. It
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: was in Frisco, Frisco, Texas. Yeah, reaping. Yeah, we we
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: gotta oh guy down there we go what's it called
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: the this guy? I forgot the name of the place,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: but we got our all guy down there. He works
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: both of us out.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you've been working out with Jamaal Borrow.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: A long time. Close. Oh he's ready, he ready, He
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: just he's not in the rush. He's ready.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: You see him out here running and cutting on the dimes.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: So you know, he's he's on his own timetable. He
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: feels comfortable coming back. But he's real close, real close.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, most definitely. You know, his injury was a
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: little bit worse than mine. Uh, but you know, I'll
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: say around like June, when we started, you know, running
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: forties and stuff, we was definitely competing the ever seeing
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: who run the fastest forty. Of course I beat him,
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: but the competition was great for both of us as
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: far as just like, hey, I see him getting better.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: It makes me want to do a little bit more
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: to get better. And so, uh, it was great working
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: out with him. And then when you notice the biggest
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: difference since you've been last year defense is your article
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: last year, I'm seeing guys having fun, and then it
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: looks like guys are more bought in of what we're doing.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: The communication has been great from what I've been seeing
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: in practice, and it seems like a more collective unit.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: I think the more you know, the guys get together
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: and continue to practice and playing games, you'll see that
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: chemistry kind of just overflow and uh, hopefully that will
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: make us a better defense more get it's been good. Uh,
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: great guy. Uh, great teammate, excited to have him in
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: the room. He brings a h unique set of excus
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: to the to our linebacker unit, and so I'm excited
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: to see.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: What we can do for us.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: Your best forty time year, my best forty time man. Uh,
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: I'll probably say like a four or five nine, So
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: I got I gotta knock it down a couple tenth
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: of a second. But I felt good running out four
• 6:58
