00:00 >> Absolutely, yeah, I'll be good.
00:03 So it's a little tightness, but I just wanna be smart with it.
00:06 But yeah, I'll be ready to go.
00:08 >> Is that something that you hope doesn't hurt you during the game?
00:11 Is that why you're kinda taking it?
00:13 >> Yeah, yeah, I just definitely wanna be smart with it.
00:15 I don't know, if it was feeling that type of way, I just wanna be smart with it.
00:20 That's why I gave it some rest this week.
00:22 But I'm definitely gonna be good and ready to go for Sunday.
00:25 >> Alex, is it something that popped up during practice, or
00:27 is it a residual from the game?
00:29 >> Yeah, it was just something that popped up during practice, but
00:31 I've been getting a lot of treatment on it, taking care of it and
00:33 resting it well, so I know I'm gonna feel good on Sunday.
00:36 >> Were you able to get more work in today compared to, I would say, Wednesday?
00:40 Or where do you feel like you're at work flow wise going into the weekend?
00:42 >> Yeah, I did some more today than I did yesterday.
00:45 Like I said, almost the whole practice,
00:47 towards the end of practice on Wednesday.
00:49 But today I was just out there, and the past couple days,
00:51 just really getting a lot of mental rest and just envisioning myself in every play.

00:57 >> Alex, do you think you'd have to limit reps at all?
01:00 >> No, I mean, we'll see.
01:01 I think I should be full go, ready to go.

01:07 just really taking priority in that.
01:09 And so, but overall, I'm feeling really good.
01:11 >> What have you seen from Marcus and Nick?
01:15 How much is that confidence in the guys behind you now?
01:18 >> As I said, they've been so great this far this season.
01:22 MG coming in, they're getting sacks, and Nick coming in and making plays as well.
01:27 It's just been a huge force, and so knowing that me and TJ are gonna go out,
01:31 those guys are able to come in and play great for us.
01:33 So they've been great so far.
