00:00 >> Yeah, it's just taking it a day at a time and they have a plan for me.

00:03 I'm just going by what they're telling me.

00:05 >> You've had this similar injury about now is kind of that recovery process.

00:09 Does it feel the same as last time as far as that progression,

00:12 that recovery period does?

00:13 >> Yeah, it does.

00:13 It feels like I'm on track with what I need to do.

00:16 It's really not how I feel.

00:17 It's kind of what they see me doing and

00:18 how they feel like I'm looking, moving around everything.

00:21 >> Is there any one thing that's kind of holding you back right now?

00:23 >> No, no, it's up to the trainers and what they see me do.

00:27 >> What have you been able to do as far as mental reps and

00:30 just kind of going through things to make sure you're staying up to speed?

00:32 >> Yeah, exactly that, getting the mental reps, taking advantage of the stuff that

00:36 I'm not, getting physically by just standing behind and

00:38 going through my reads and everything.

00:40 >> If you were to put a percentage on it, how do you feel percentage wise?

00:43 >> I can't give you a percentage.

00:44 I don't really know.

00:45 I mean, like I said, just listen to what the trainers are telling me,

00:48 the way I'm moving and everything and go from there.

00:50 >> Do you feel like you would have to be 100% to be able to go on track?

00:53 >> No, that's not my call.

00:54 That's the trainer's call.

00:56 >> Having the chance to step back and be on the sidelines and

00:58 see the game from a different perspective, has it allowed you to

01:01 see anything different, learn anything and take some lessons from it?

01:05 >> No, no.

01:07 >> How's the relationship between you and the team in that corner room?

01:10 >> It's great, it's great.

01:11 Between Mitch Mason, myself, Coach Sully and DC, we're all really tight,

01:16 all pulling for each other, all helping each other out on the sideline.

01:20 Great friends of ours, we guys are really great.
