  Speaker 1: Mcstatic. How was it finally get back out there. I imagine
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: that it was tough to be to be out that little.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Uh yeah, it was more tough to be out that long,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: I would say, as opposed to the toughness of actually
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: being on the field. It felt good, you know, for
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: the players I was out there, it felt pretty good.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: How about coming off the game, y, your first game in.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: A while, how'd you feel afterwards?
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: Uh?
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: About as good as you can feel after, you know,
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: hitting a bunch of people for however long. So I
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: mean I felt okay, did the time you kind of
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: work out well that being a Thursday game that you
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: get a little extra rest after your after that first
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: game back or I don't know, I mean I maybe
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I guess I didn't really think of
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: it that way, But I mean I would have been
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: ready to play if it was a regular Sunday game.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: Ay. Were you were you surprised that one was an
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: issue for you in training camp that it would at
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: ultimately end up costing you more than half the season
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: before you able to get out and play.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: Uh, I don't know, if s I don't know if
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: I was surprised, I was more disappointed. Things happened, Things
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: out of your control happened. So I just try to
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: roll with it as best I could. You needs been
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: paying you for a while, right, Uh, I mean kind of.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: I guess it's it's kind of a funky, little funky
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: deal I've de I mean, I've dealt with some stuff
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: since I was really while I was in college, but
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: never really flared up on me until recently. You know,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: how encouraging was what you guys are able to get
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: done offensively last week? I was super encouraging. I mean,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: that's the That's the main goal you know all the time,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: I think for any offense across the league is to
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: you know, show up in that way every single game.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: It's just on us to continue that now and to
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: keep putting our best foot forward. Is is the need
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: something that like the off season will completely heal or
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: whatever or uh. I don't know how much of my
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: liberty to talk about what I'm gonna do in the
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: off season, So rest assured I'll probably be or not
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: probably I will be getting on top of it. Just
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna go into detail about it.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: I ayvi at this point in the season, like billion
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: time you guys in your starting line up as you
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: thought was weak on and ultimately to to go this
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: far end of the year to not be able to
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: to have that consistency with the group the way you
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: guys have played, what do you kind of thought watching
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: it for the year and then being being out there.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Well, I think the guys who've came uh come in
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: have done a really, really fantastic job. I mean, you
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: got a guy and like in Jason Peters, you know,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: who's forty one years old and still competing with guys
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: who were like my age, you know what I mean,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: and still showing up and doing well. And you know
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Stone came in and balled out, Jake bald out, Uh,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Anthony Bradford's growing as a player. So I don't n
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: I don't know if there was like a super massive
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: drop off necessarily. I think guys had the right attitude
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: about it and came in and put their best foot forward.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Think you face these guys three times last year. What
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: what's the challenge of the forty nine Yers and just
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: kind of what they do in front one? Yeah, Fortynineers
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: are a good team. I mean obviously have an outstanding
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: defense or coached very very well, got a lot of
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: I mean, they got a few all pros on the
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: on that side, So I mean, you know it's gonna
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: be a battle every single game, so you just gotta
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: be ready for that.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: It's the toughest part of facing that front.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Would you put your biggest challenge? I mean, I guess
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: one of the things I know is just really how
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: tenacious they are, you know at uh pursuing the ball
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: and trying to get after the quarterback. You know, not
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: to say that, like you know, there are more or
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: less tenations than other teams, but it's definitely a staple
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: of their defense. And you can tell DK Tallis is
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: taking some guitar lessons. You you can help them out
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: at all or if he asks, sure not yet you
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: got uh Gino really got the ball fast in Dallas
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: a the from an offensive line at standpoint, I guess
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: is there does that change your job at all when
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: that's kind of the the goal a little bit to
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: do that? Or I mean it helps, uh, you know
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: if you d if you don't have to block for
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: seven seconds or five seconds, that's great. Now granted, if
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: that's what we have to do, is we have to do.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: But you know, if quarterback can get the ball out
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: in two seconds, I think. I think the average time,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: like across the league is like close to three seconds,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: I think, so anything underneath that is pretty spectacular.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: Anybody else bags
