00:00 In the locker room with Jamar Chase.
00:01 Jamar, obviously we've reached the dog days a bit of camp.
00:05 How's it going so far?
00:06 You still staying locked in?
00:07 - It's going good.
00:08 It's getting better.
00:09 Making progress with the quarterbacks,
00:13 which is in the rear ranges,
00:14 but other than that, we're still making progress.
00:16 - How tough is that to have to go from
00:18 where you're gonna take all your reps from Joe
00:19 to now you're splitting with two other guys?
00:21 - I try not to think about it like that.
00:24 I just try to think about it as getting more work,
00:27 getting better with other quarterbacks,
00:29 building more chemistry.
00:30 Just thinking about that,
00:33 something that I don't usually think about.
00:35 - The other day, Joe went through
00:36 an extensive pregame workout.
00:38 I'm sure you saw videos online if you weren't out there.
00:41 Were you impressed?
00:42 - I don't know.
00:45 I didn't know he was doing that.
00:48 - Good to see that he's working out like that.
00:50 - But he's still hard-headed, like I said.
00:52 He does shit like that, that's hard-headed.
00:53 Nobody knows what he's doing.
00:55 But what can you say?
00:58 He's been at practice the past couple of days,
01:00 no sleeve on that calf.
01:02 Have you talked to him about it?
01:03 - I don't really talk to nobody about injuries.
01:05 You know what I'm saying?
01:06 It's just good luck.
01:07 Let you go through it yourself, you know what I'm saying?
01:09 'Cause there's a lot going on
01:11 during the middle of that process.
01:13 - You said he's hard-headed, naturally.
01:15 All the comments, everybody's heard 'em that you've made.
01:18 But you know he's eyeing week one.
01:20 Fair?
01:22 - I know his what?
01:23 - You know he's eyeing week one, like in his head.
01:25 - Yeah, I'm sure he is, shit.
01:28 I mean, I would too be.
01:30 I would too.
01:32 - If you were in that position,
01:35 would you need to practice before the week of the game
01:39 to suit up week one?
01:40 Like given any injury,
01:42 and I know it varies injury to injury.
01:44 - I would assume yeah, like a couple weeks.
01:46 Don't wanna go into a game not practiced,
01:49 then you're not in shape.
01:51 You know what I'm saying?
01:51 You're just preparing for a game,
01:52 you don't know what's gonna happen.
01:53 You know what I'm saying?
01:54 You need to be mentally ready, physically ready,
01:56 and anything else.
01:59 - Going back to practice for you today.
02:01 You wore a hoodie today.
02:02 You do that every now and then.
02:03 Why do you do it?
02:05 - Try to sweat as much as I can.
02:07 That's why I wear long sleeves.
02:09 - Were they long sleeves today?
02:10 It looked like short sleeves.
02:11 - It was short sleeves, I just cut it off the hoodie.
02:13 - Gotcha.
02:14 Is that drenched by the time you get in here?
02:17 - Yeah, yeah.
02:21 Try to sweat as much as possible, then hit the sauna.
02:24 - You already done the sauna?
02:25 - No, I do it when I get home.
02:27 - Oh, you got a sauna at home.
02:29 Look at you.
02:31 Look at you.
02:32 Is that new?
02:34 - Yeah.
02:35 - Is it a game changer?
02:37 - Nah, it's just better than standing here
02:40 the whole day, extra 10, 15 minutes.
02:43 - How has that part of your game evolved?
02:46 There's just the preparation part,
02:48 and what you do at home versus what you do here,
02:49 because I'm sure it has evolved going into year three.
02:52 - Yeah, I really just stay in more on my body
02:54 and my sleep schedule.
02:55 I think that was the most that I had to worry about
02:57 my first two years was just trying to sleep at night,
03:00 and I always had that problem when I was in college.
03:02 So, just me learning how to sleep better,
03:05 get off the game, get off the phone,
03:08 stuff like that, the small things.
03:10 - Get off the screen and go to bed.
03:11 - Yeah, exactly.
03:13 Hop in a chamber, get an extra hour of sleep.
03:16 - Chamber too, hold on.
03:19 - Hyperbaric.
03:20 - Gotcha, okay.
03:21 Tell our listeners and viewers what that is.
03:23 - Hyperbaric chambers for concussion protocols,
03:27 injuries, sleep,
03:29 anything basically to get you back feeling normal again.
03:34 You know what I'm saying?
03:35 I did it for my hip, I slept in there
03:37 almost like three times a week.
03:39 It helps the healing process go faster, so it's worth it.
03:44 - So you spend like an hour?
03:46 - No, I try to do a whole night.
03:48 - Oh, so you do a whole night in there.
03:50 Is it comfortable?
03:52 - Yeah, no, but it's for the better.
03:56 - It's worth it, gotcha.
03:57 Jamar, appreciate the time.
03:59 - Thank you.
