Transcript

00:00 >> Yeah, throughout last year, Thursdays are already my day off.

00:05 But I'm trying to get back in the flow of things and

00:09 it's getting ready for Sunday.

00:13 I'm getting ready for Friday, but as of right now, feeling good.

00:17 >> This is a team that ran for what, 180, 40 yards last year.

00:21 Obviously, they got James for winning a little bit.

00:23 >> Yeah.

00:24 >> He's the number one guy to stop them.

00:26 >> Jones and Dylan, 200th monster, I think.

00:29 I just think they complement themselves very well.

00:34 Jones can really bounce outside.

00:36 And Dylan's more of a straight line guy.

00:39 250 pounds, and he brings it.

00:42 And I think with a young offensive line and a young quarterback,

00:47 often running game is the easiest recipe.

00:51 So we gotta make sure we really take care of the run.

00:54 You saw they had a lot of success last week, so they're feeling good about it.

00:58 >> Tim, with Kwan, do you worry about communication issues back there?

01:04 >> I don't worry about it.

01:05 I just think other guys have a chance to step up.

01:08 We always talk about you're only one play away from being in the game and

01:13 this is an opportunity for other guys to step up.

01:16 Kwan, Landon, even Mark Robb, other safeties.

01:21 You got Kasey, you got Keanu.

01:24 And then up front, it's up to our guys to talk as well.

01:28 And we gotta have that open dialogue to not hold or keep any secrets up.

01:33 >> Kim, has recovery this week after last week's game been what you expected it

01:37 would be, harder, easier?

01:39 >> It is what it is.

01:40 I've had surgery, what, eight weeks now?

01:43 Beating the odds doesn't take away the fact that I'm gonna be dealing with

01:49 some swelling.

01:50 >> How much were you able to do today?

01:53 >> I took some plays.

01:54 I think the main thing with us is just about getting ready for

01:57 Sunday rather than Friday.

01:59 So was it the same amount of plays I wanted though, but

02:02 it's a step in the right direction.

02:04 >> Would you say you're confident for Sunday?

02:07 >> I would say so.

02:08 If I practice today, I would say I'm confident for Sunday, so yes.
