 progress report for you feel great just doing it doing exactly what Todd has me doing to get back going to meetings lifting weights conditioning as much as I can and you know just being in tune with everything you know just making sure that I hear the little details that they give me or give the guys around me and just making sure I'm just staying locked in I'm scared I saw one the injury happened and Mike really said that you know once you got diagnosed there was a good bit of relief what were you fearing just knowing like I've already been through a cell injury before you know it's just scary when you when you hurt your knee I was just thankful you know pray you know God always comes through with his blessings and you know yeah I mean I just let God takes his course I don't try to rush anything when I taught them tell me that I'm good to go then you know I'll be prepared to go out and play so it was a tough space I mean you had such a great season stuck around here all the work you did I would say yeah it was it was kind of frustrating but you know I've learned not to you know dwell on the downfall everything just keep my head high and just keep improving any way you feel like you can have such a great shape and one such much of a zone you'll lose any about being out a little bit or you feel like you can kind of that's that's one thing that myself braves Todd and the strength staff have been doing a great job of keeping me up on my conditioning that's riding the bike doing what I can to make sure that I'm good when I get back out there. I feel like you don't know until you get out there in the first game obviously a lot of things we've worked on this entire training camp I feel really good about those things but at the end of the day you don't really know until real ball starts obviously just had a really good show in the last preseason game but we all know when a regular season start and all the starters out there it's a different ball game so excited you know kind of see where we measure up you know starting this first week against a really good offense in the world. Nervousness maybe isn't the right word but that is there a little edge there because you don't know for sure? Yeah and I don't I don't not think every year is different you know whenever you get to week one of a you know NFL season you got new guys you're playing out there with for the first time is always a little I mean I still get butterflies every NFL game I'm playing so like I said it's not in Nervous but it's more just about the unknown of embarking on the whole new season with a different crew but it's definitely a lot of excitement. Can you tell just kind of the guys today, tomorrow? Yeah I mean understand it's a business and you know obviously you want to keep as many guys as you can especially in our room man a lot of the guys the younger guys has made a really good impression on myself and the coaching staff I can almost make a case that it every one of those guys should make a team obviously it's not gonna happen and I'm sure we'll try to bring some of those guy back in the practice squad but you know it's just you know it's the realities of this business that you know all of us one day will eventually get that call to go upstairs and turn that playbook so if it happens in your first year second year or you know year 10 or whatever it may be just understand that you know the journey is not over and you know as long as you're able to come in this building you have a key code you're still in your dream so just appreciate every day that you have here. It's a mental challenge that way but we had a good group there I mean we definitely didn't start off the way we wanted to they showed us a couple different looks we had a couple different things like here and there were guys you know getting a couple of missed targets and a couple of days they just had a good defense for what we were playing so it's just kind of things like that but I mean that's how precious it goes just kind of it's either really good or really bad sometimes so it's kind of fun that way but I mean it was a good learning experience to be able to like okay hey they came out in something different how do we respond to that and then I think guys responded well as the game went on. Yeah no I think I mean I think this preseason was great to be able to go to Minnesota I remember when we first first couple plays in that practice they hit us with like blitz zero corner blitzes they were throwing everything they had at us and I mean that was a great shell shock because at the end of the day sometimes you go into a game you expected this defense to do this and then all of a sudden they just did something completely different so it's a really good thing for guys to be able to take that and then respond and I thought the second day in Minnesota responded really well same with the Patriots game they came out in a nickel defense a little bit more often than we thought not playing their true bases like some of the preseason games they showed before so I mean I thought it was a good thing to be able to go from our 12-21 runs they have to face that nickel piece a lot of teams will do that and it does change up who you targeted to and then how do we figure out how to make sure we're all going to the right guys we're all on the same page and I think that was a great test for us and I think as the game went on guys responded really well and like you know adjustments on the sidelines to go back out there and then respond and play well.
