0:00I haven't been super worried about him,
0:02you know, not playing week one or
0:04anything. It seems like
0:06you know, he's coming off this major
0:07knee injury. Maybe they're they're just
0:09kind of making sure they don't overdo
0:11it, but the more, you know, he's out or
0:14the the longer we we don't get him kind
0:16of participating again,
0:19you'd at some point be like, "Okay,
0:21what's what's going on here?" But I
0:22think I am also probably waiting until
0:25Wednesday before I'd have
0:27real concern about what this is. And it
0:29doesn't it doesn't seem like he had a
0:31setback or anything so far, but it's
0:33just yeah, I mean, I understand if
0:36you know, if you're drafting and feel
0:38nervous about this, anyone anyone
0:39listening, I I totally get it because
0:41he's coming off of
0:42this double ACL tear that has really
0:44cost him his NFL career to this point.
0:47So,
0:47>> Yeah, and there was a video
0:48>> Certainly.
0:49Yeah.
0:49>> Yeah, there there was a video of him
0:51running today uh on on the side of
0:53practice.
0:54Looked uh looked good there. He did
0:57you know, get a get a decent amount of
0:58work this this off season and this
1:00preseason. So, you know, could could
1:02make sense to kind of just
1:04I mean, if they if if they have like a
1:05real plan of of playing him quite a bit
1:08in week one, maybe maybe just like ease
1:10off the
1:11ease off the gas a little bit. Um
1:14but we've we we've talked before about
1:16how like, yeah, maybe it's not
1:18week one that Brooks gets this like
1:21big big workload kind of thing and they
1:22just kind of like see how he looks in
1:25cuz there's a big difference between
1:26preseason and regular season NFL games
1:29and just
1:30>> kind of kind of ease him in, see see
1:31what he's looking like, and um
1:34and then kind of go from there. But I do
1:36think
1:37by, you know,
1:39later in the season, midpoint, I I
1:42I just think this talent is going to
1:45is going to win out.
1:46>> But he he will have a role in the
1:48passing game, you know, assuming he's
1:50got a significant role, it will include
1:51pass game work. And he you know, that he
1:55profiles as a as a dynamic versatile
1:57guy,
1:58you know, with with the ability to have
2:00explosive plays. So,
2:02um
2:03ultimately, if if he turns into a 1A
2:05back,
2:07that's not a bad thing. Like, I think
2:09we're we're kind of hoping he's their 1A
2:11back
2:12down the stretch. It's not
2:15you know, he's not the archetype of a
2:16player who needs to consolidate the
2:17entire backfield.
2:20He can be more of a Bucky Irving,
2:22you know, or kind of more like what
2:24you're hoping for with a special team or
2:25something where it's like, "Yeah, he's
2:27he's ripping off some some long runs.
2:30He's getting targets.
2:31He doesn't have all of it,
2:33but um you know, he's got enough.
