00:00 You can never replicate game reps. I understand that, but I think the way I try to prepare myself each week, practice reps, stuff afterwards, stuff before, taking care of my body.
00:16 I try to get myself best, cut down on the learning curve, get back into the flow like today. I felt good and I know how to play football.
00:30 Yeah, statistics say that it's probably not going to happen. The rule changed due to the NFC championship game last year and it didn't happen. So it's possible, but probably not probable.
00:55 Has it been challenging preparing knowing that it's odds are not great?
01:01 I think yes. I've gone into it knowing I'm not going to play today, but if there's an injury I know I'll prepare next week and then I bump up.
01:13 I don't want to shock my system like, "Oh gosh, I haven't been watching film or going through a normal routine." I try to stay in that rhythm so it's not a frenzy.
01:30 - Thank you.
