00:10 Yeah, just a separate type of illness and
00:20 obviously I had a concussion with it, so it just came together.
00:23 I just remember last year, I was out for like three weeks.
00:27 Now I'm back returning for a Thursday night game, so
00:30 I'm just quicker on recovery and things like that.
00:33 Like I said earlier this year, I know what I signed up for and
00:38 things like that, and I'm a physical type player.
00:41 I'm always gonna be physical, so nothing really gonna change.
00:46 Obviously, I just gotta take care of my neck and things like that,
00:49 make sure I strip in it and try to avoid certain injuries like that.
00:53 As much as we just gotta be out there, all of us, especially the whole secondary,
00:57 but especially me and Eddie.
00:58 We gotta be out there healthy, we gotta be out there playing.
01:02 So now we get the opportunity this Thursday and
01:05 hopefully we'd be consistent throughout the year.
01:08 And we just do what we do, and that's fly around, be ball hawks,
01:12 use us as switch on me nights, things like that.
01:14 So get us involved, and you're gonna see what's gonna happen.
01:16 Our expectation has always been high, especially as I said,
01:21 we got the two best safeties in the league, not the best safeties in the league.
01:24 So with Montez and Montez, there's hopefully a lot of tips and
01:29 overthrows, a lot of picks and things like that, just depending on the coverage.
01:35 So just a lot of tight defense and hopefully a lot of sacks from those guys
01:40 up front and different type of pressures here and there.
01:44 And just be balanced, but just trust in the safety,
01:49 things like that, Poise for his first year in the league.
01:54 He has his top guy, but obviously, they're looking for
01:58 their second receiver and things like that.
02:01 So he's still trying to get comfortable with things like that, but
02:05 I feel like his first year, he's been doing well.
