It's our linebacker position a long time, so you know, whoever is on the field uncomfortable, that guys can get it done. It's months. Where are you Yeah, I'm right where I need to be. Man, feeling pretty good. The covery has went really well. Happy to be out here, being able to do everything and participate in all phases of practice. So I'm feeling pretty good. Just just continue as just uh, you know, rehab, staying on top of things, so don't you know, so it stays in good shape.

So nothing nothing too major. Still got a little ways to go. Whatever I need. Just keep doing football. It's the first time I did, you know, eleven on eleven football since November, So just continue to see those players get those reps over and over again, getting back familiar with it things for your first time first going with the achillis that you behind to during this we have uh, not much. This time. It's went a lot better. You know.

The first time I had to lock out, so I didn't have the trainers and things to use in Houston. But now and I spent all my time here working with our training staff and it's been a much smoother transition this time. Around the time I don't think twenty six. I'm not sure, but your body was was younger than it is now. No no difference. Again, the recovery has went better this time around three years. Bill has to expand it changed tweet the tweets, Well, that's definitely expanded.

We've we have a lot more knowledge of the scheme. So we're able to come out here first day and have our entire playbook. And I've never been around a place where, you know, we didn't have to redo install. We just came and we got our whole playbook and we're going out there. So we're a lot further ahead than we've ever been. Why is them with so many

kind of fishes in the back? I think it's just about the port the nuclease of the guys that you know, our first group does a good job of communicating and working well together. So and we we all expect a lot out of ourselves, so we're able to handle that. Who was a h I mean I didn't. We got another good player, so added another good linebacker. We need a depth that linebacker, so add another good guy that's

more comfortable. Do you feel secondary behind you? And it appears to be there's an upgrade year and trying to short us in the shoes from last year in the previous year. I feel our secondary is much better right now. We have a bunch of talented guys, all those guys who like to compete, and the guys that to me look like they can play some balls. So I'm excited to see when the lights come on, you know, how

they're gonna play. Last year when we ask me about off the snap and joking on at all with three guys, now are doing asign that you won't be in every whatever however I'm you know, expected to be used or however they use me, and it'll work out. Practicing against the fast paced offense like the Eagles have, is it an asset to help you guys train kind of at a higher rate and a lot of Yeah. That where we have an advantage because when teams, when we face teams that do go no huddle, it's it's not a

big deal to us anywhere. It's not gonna surprise us. We see it every day. So when the team huddles up, I feel like we have an advantage because we're used to going so fast all the time. Would have been your appreciate early appressions of Jordan dis Jordan Hicks. I think he's a really good player, good smart young player that I think he can step in and play now. You know, he picked up on the defense and really fairly quickly, quicker than a lot of other people have.

And uh, yeah, that that goes a long way once you know what to do. Now since a matter going out and doing it. How much you're looking forward to the open practice tomorrow at the stadium. Put the hat on the first time. It'll be again we get to you. I hadn't put them on a long time, so it'll be uh to be a little you know, a little uneasiness, but I think I need that to just know that, give myself that confidence and the foot again and knowing that I'm ready to go still some strength, a little bit,

a little bit strength, a little bit of explosiveness. Once I do that, I'll be able to be ready, all right. Thanks guy. So
