00:00 what have the past couple of weeks been like for you personally? Yeah I mean I'm
00:05 coming off IR and I'm just trying to help this team win games so wherever
00:10 that was and however that was gonna be I knew that I want to make an impact so
00:14 you know being able to you know spark a big play last week I just want to stack
00:18 on that and keep keep winning games. What's been the outreach like after that
00:22 big play? As far as just from family and family, friends, social media I mean you
00:28 went over 22 miles per hour in an NFL game? Yeah no I was moving. A lot of
00:33 people reached out just congratulating me. A lot of people I haven't heard from
00:37 a long time so that was kind of cool but yeah no I guess running fast gives you a
00:45 little bit of attention right? I've been at 22 before on kickoff but not with the
00:51 ball. Yeah. How much confidence does it give you after a play like that helping this team down the trail?
00:58 Yeah just building confidence week in week out. Obviously add some but you know
01:03 I know that you know we have some opponents some tough opponents coming up
01:08 and we can't we can't look too far ahead so right now it's the the Minnesota
01:12 Vikings and you know how how are we gonna attack them how are we gonna beat
01:16 them so that's what I'm thinking about right now. How do you fit into that
01:19 equation you know going forward the last two weeks you've obviously been big how
01:22 do you keep that role that you've established? Yeah just keep on being a
01:27 good teammate and when there's an opportunity like there was last week to
01:31 spark a big play do exactly that. Chase how did you keep involved and hit books if you will or watch film when you were injured? How did you stay prepared for your role?
01:42 Well yeah you know number one thing was not missing a meeting and number two was
01:48 just trying to stay mentally sharp so preparing as if I was playing and you
01:54 know keeping that mindset you know helped me going in the game against
01:58 Jacksonville and even against the Colts last week so you know I'm just excited
02:04 for the growth I just want to keep on building and you know keep on
02:08 celebrating the locker room with these guys. Was there a run or play against Jacksonville where you made that play and you were like I got this I can do this at this level or did
02:18 you already feel that going in? Yeah no I've always been confident but definitely the first the first run play kind of sparked it was a little it was an
02:25 explosive so you know I knew I just want to build on that and then what kind of
02:30 changed my mindset a little bit was the the 31-yard gain against Jacksonville was
02:34 I didn't really feel like I opened up all the way and you know I could have
02:39 lined up the safety and played that a little bit better so that kind of changed
02:42 my mindset going into this week against the Colts was hey you know when you have
02:46 space make the most of that line somebody up make somebody miss and get
02:50 in that zone the best you can. When did you see the defender who was coming at you at the five-yard line when did you pick him up in your vision?
02:58 Yeah I saw him pretty much the whole way I saw 44 kind of to my left a little bit
03:02 I felt like I could run past him but I knew that there's there's gonna be one
03:07 person down the field more so just just he's taking you at a weird angle he's
03:13 kind of like behind me a little bit but he threw his he lunged so I just stepped
03:17 back and you know he slid right by I guess so. What's Jake Browning like in
03:22 the huddle? Confident man I mean he I know everybody else feels the same way
03:28 but you know he brings a new energy to this offense he's playing at an
03:32 extremely high level and you know excited to see what he's gonna do this
03:37 week. When you when you say energy is he vocal what's he like? Yeah vocal he's
03:43 just he's a great leader so having him on on our team on this side of the ball
03:51 don't we needed that you know Joe's a great player he brought you know his own
03:55 energy to the table but you know Jake's a different guy and you know he's
03:59 playing a high level I just want to help him in any way that is so you know yeah.
04:05 What do you anticipate the atmosphere being like Saturday afternoon? Yeah we I mean we need the fans there whatever I can do to help get these fans hyped up you
04:16 know we want to we want to sell the stadium we want as many people there to
04:20 support us and help us win against the Vikings. Excited to play on Saturday again? Yeah another Saturday yeah I mean it's just a it's just
04:29 another another day we play I played on Saturday a bunch in college so did
04:35 everybody else so you know it's just gonna be another game day for us.
