did you feel like that you weren't going to be able to go a Monday morning just moving around a little bit you know I prepare every week to play my mindset every week is I'm going to play um you know there's been weeks where I'll go the full week you know not even feeling good enough to do the walkthrough and then I wake up and body's capable of a lot of cool things and you know mentally I'm always prepared to play and then woke up and it was a group decision uh very tough one I hate not playing um but look get it as a chess move and you know something that hopefully we can benefit from the rest of the season is it at all a Remnant from the cap injury you were dealing with at the end of last season uh it doesn't have anything to do with anything last season though um you know it's just something I'm dealing with that I'll get right were there were there any days in practice last week where you didn't feel right or that felt worse than than other days well I think when you don't feel right in practice there's a difference between you know you don't feel right but maybe by Sunday you'll be good to go you know when you're working through some stuff and something's off um you know and so mentally I feel like as I said before I'm always prepared to play uh my mindset is I'm going to play no matter what I'm going through physically on Wednesday or Thursday practice um and then the game day you got to make a decision so you expecting a similar process this weekend my mentality is I'm playing this week that's that's where I'm at that's how I am every week you know I'm not lying I think as soon as soon as a player says you know maybe I'll play maybe I won't that that's not a good mentality to go into a week with you know when you're kind of on the on the fence so for me I'm I'm ready to go is Aral Turf any issue yeah if you can't run on Turf you can't run on the field can't run on grass can't run on Turf if you can go you can go did you get a chance to pull aide JP before the game and say hey your the ball honestly no I think uh with someone like him man I'm so proud of him he uh when you're in a rhythm and you're in a Groove you let him be and uh and he showed that man I was I was so pumped for him and um you know just everything that he's done all Camp you know he's earned that and and he bought out in and showed did you talk to him after the game yeah abolutely what you say congrats yeah congratulated him um we got a special room and and he's right there in in the in the play and someone was going to help our team a lot this year so um I'm happy he's in our room and super happy for him overall what did you think of the performance coming out of it the way you guys played for the first week I thought it was awesome man I think uh you know week one you're always expecting a little bit of slot but you know I thought the mindset was great I thought the intent we played with was great um you know obviously there's there's always things to work on um but watching from the sideline just getting that perspective I felt like um you know the intent was there and it was you know obviously you hate sitting out but uh to get a win for the ners to be won want to know it's a good thing I think Jordan averaged over eight yards a carry on runs behind puny what did puny look like on on tape to you he looked great man he looked like a vet look like somebody that's been there before and I think that's just a testament to you know the room that they have and him being able to follow those vets you know Trent coming in you know without hardly practicing to and looking that well and just think the whole unit the o line the tight ends juice um they all look good and so hopefully we can carry it on to this week you got Sam on the other side what did you appreciate about playing with him as a teammate and and and his talent level yeah man I've known Sam for a long time now he's become you know one of my better friends that I've met in the league and uh it's cool to see him get an opportunity because he deserves it he's always been extremely talented somebody who can play in this league he's smart he's tough um you know and and obviously we want to win this week but I'm happy for him and his opportunity and have nothing but the utmost respect for him all right thank you
