00:01Yeah, not too much.
00:02Me obviously as part of it whenever you haven't played in a couple weeks.
00:06But I feel good being out there for a third day now.
00:10So I feel good to get my way back.
00:12Did you do any team stuff today?
00:13A little bit, yeah.
00:14What exactly have you been battling with?
00:18Just some soft tissue stuff.
00:19So I feel good now, I feel great.
00:21Training room got me right, my masseuse got me right, so yeah.
00:25How much time of year dictate, like, let's just be extra cautious with this.
00:30There's no reason to come back fast.
00:33It was August, you know, is that a big part of the conversation for you?
00:37Oh, I mean, not really.
00:39I mean, I was just doing, you know, how I felt, you know.
00:42You know, if I wasn't, if I didn't feel my, you know, my best,
00:46I wasn't going to put myself at risk of being a liability out there.
00:50So just being smart.
01:00I don't want to really talk about that, but, hey, I'm out there, you know, competing, so.
01:05How do you want that not kind of affect it as you kind of go into the season?
01:08How do you kind of compartmentalize that as you get ready for this year?
01:11Say that again? Sorry.
01:12How do you kind of compartmentalize that and kind of like put that to the side?
01:16Yeah, I'm not even worried about it.
01:18Everything that happened, it'll happen whenever it needs to, so.
01:22Actually, you know your body better than anyone.
01:24Right.
01:25Do you get a sense of where you feel like you could be by the 13th?
01:31What you'll be capable of doing by then?
01:33I mean, I'm going to just see how this week goes and next week, you know, so.
01:37Just gauge it from there, but, I mean, I feel good, so.
01:40We had a year, a few years ago, when Chido was coming back.
01:43In early the season, he kind of like rotated a little bit with DJ just while he was getting
01:48a win back.
01:48Is that something where you're like, you'd be open to that, or is that like, no, that's
01:51my spot, and I'm going to be out, I can go 100%, and that's my deal.
01:55Right.
01:56I mean, whatever the coaches want me to do.
01:57I mean, you know, us as competitors, we're going to be out there regardless, you know,
02:01whether if you're 100% or, you know, 75%.
02:04So, I mean, have that competitive nature in me, and so, I mean, whatever they have planned
02:09for me, I mean, we'll see, but, you know, I'm optimistic, you know, for game one, so.
02:14Even if it's like 99 degrees like today or whatever?
02:18Let me hydrate on the sideline.
02:20Literally.
02:21Hopefully we have a little timeout in between or something, but.
02:23Yeah.
02:24Yeah, man.
02:24Just, you know, whatever it is, you know, I'll be ready for it.
02:27What's it been like watching the second year?
02:29What's the biggest difference you've seen watching these guys in a while you've been out?
02:32Yeah, I mean, I feel like we haven't really lost our edge, you know, from last year.
02:36I feel like we ended on a high note, and we just brought the guys, the new guys along,
02:40and I feel like we've just been at a high level.
02:43Not really taking a day off.
02:44If we have, it was probably just a day.
02:46But, you know, we regrouped the next day and, you know, came back and showed out.
02:50So, I feel like the entire camp and, you know, leading up to this first game,
02:53it's been great, you know, from top down.
02:56What have you been waiting on?
02:57Huh?
02:57What have you been waiting on?
02:59Longevity.
03:00I'm just a health book, making sure my body's right.
03:03I'm just talking about just medicine in general.
03:06So, check it out.
03:07It's about 400 pages.
03:08You started before the injury or after?
03:10Huh?
03:10You started before.
03:11Way before it.
03:12I've been on nutrition, you know, basically my entire life.
03:15My dad, he's always been like a health freak.
03:18So, I kind of, you know, got that from him.
03:21So, I've been reading that.
03:22So, it was a good read.
03:22How many pages do you pay?
03:25I'm about 120 right now.
03:28120.
03:29I'm on my Kindle right now.
03:30So, it gives me like the percentages on where I need to be at.
03:32So, my Kindle tells me I'm at like 25% right now.
03:36So, yeah.
03:37What's the key to your diet?
03:39Like, what has you at the top in season?
03:43Like, is there stuff that you change?
03:44Stuff that you do?
03:45I'm really just ramping up on my carbs.
03:48I mean, I feel like we run so much as DBs.
03:50Like, we have to, you know, have that carb intake.
03:53So, really just getting that up.
03:55Protein, obviously.
03:57Keeping it all the same.
03:58But, you know, tweaking it just a little bit.
