Nightcap Hour 1: JAXSON DART QB1 + What’s next for RUSSELL WILSON? + VIKINGS’ Josh Metellus on EMBARRASSING Ocho’s Bengals + MICAH PARSONS No Harsh Feelings

24:48Shannon Sharpe:300 plus touchdowns. None of them never got demoted like that. You look at Matt Ryan, you look at Ben Roethlisberger, you look at Phillip Rivers, John Elway, Dan Marino, Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Drew Brees. That's eight I can think of off the top of my head. Johnny Unitas. Now, obviously, Johnny ended up going, you know, he didn't do very well when he left Indy and ended up going to the Chargers. But it hurts. And you got to put on a brave face. You do. Yeah. Because a lot of times people want to see you crack. And Russ is not wired like that. Russ is going to remain positive. And I'm happy with it.

25:31Shannon Sharpe:I'm very happy with the way he's handled this whole situation because deep down inside, he knew, Ocho. You go to a place and they draft a quarterback? You already knew what time it is. The clock is ticking off. when Tom went to Tampa, did they take a quarterback in the first round? No.

25:54Shannon Sharpe:And so they were just like, hey, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick. And you got to fight because you know they want to play him. He's not a decoration. That's not something that you just prop up. No, they wanted to play him. It's not like a situation like Alex Smith had. They drafted Patrick Mahomes. He knew Patrick Mahomes. He said, I got one year. There's nothing I can do to keep them from playing Patrick Mahomes next year. My job is to try to keep them from playing his ass this year. Yeah, yeah. And they went 11-5. Boom. They lost to the Titans. Had an 18-3 lead. They ended up losing.

26:35Shannon Sharpe:But we'll see what Jackson Dart got going up against the Chargers, who's playing as well as anybody in the NFL. So 3-0. Go ahead. good don't you i just i'm i'm still stuck i know we talk about jackson dart we talk about russell wilson the giants and all that but i'm still stuck on that goddamn quote you led with now that's one i i'm not i haven't heard before i heard my grandma my grandfather say all type of stuff but i'm using that the devil you know is sometimes better when you don't

27:08Shannon Sharpe:i mean boy it's not an easy road that the giants have to go and i don't know if you were with a Sunday we went over their schedule so Sunday they play the Giants excuse me the Chargers and then they're on the road October 5th to at New Orleans they're home on a short week Thursday against the Eagles then they go at Denver at Philly home to the Niners at Chicago home to the Packers at Detroit at New England bye week when you're moving like I do trips don't always come together weeks in advance. Sometimes production shoots, interviews, or something I've got to travel for on a short notice. Like the time when I had the last minute trip to Denver and everything came together fast.

27:52Shannon Sharpe:Once it was locked in, I had to be ready to go. That's where Amazon Prime can make a difference.

Yo! Well, hey, let me tell you something real quick. Before we start the show, right? I know before we get serious, I just want to let you know, boy, I would have ran you over, boy.

31:18Nah, you got me right there. I'm serious. I'm serious. Come on, man.

31:22Shannon Sharpe:All right, let's welcome to the show, Viking Safety, Josh Metellus. Vikings right now, you're third in takeaways, third in passing defense, fourth in pass differential, sixth in total defense. What was it like out there? Because it happened in a flurry. You get a pick six. You get a scoop and score. And you guys were just taking the ball away. And the offense would go right out there and put seven on the board. It seemed like, damn, I don't know if you've ever been a part of something as far as a defense is concerned, that where you took the ball away and it looked so easy, so effortless doing it.

31:58Nah, I've never been a part of nothing like that. That was crazy. You talk about complimentary football. That was all of that, and within two series, it was crazy. It was back-to-back plays, and it almost felt like practice, like watching it, like you know how in practice. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Don't talk about my team like that, man. No, I'm about to just explain. Let me explain it. You know how in practice when, you know, coaches telling you to do something, you know, you're doing the individuals. You know, you're practicing the walkthrough and then now it's practice and you're doing the same.

32:32You know what's coming. You know, you're able to do things you ain't able to do if you don't know what's coming. And, you know, we were making plays, especially Isaiah Rogers, obviously the man of the hour. He was making plays that it was just like, dang, like you don't see plays like that unless it's practice. Like I'm surprised like he getting this off on the NFL Sunday. But, nah, man, that's the kind of defense we play, man. You never know who it's going to be. But, you know, the way we play defense and the way we cause havoc, you know, anybody bound to have a day like that on this defense.

33:04What? Hey, listen. Go ahead, Ocho. No, I'm going to say, listen, I watched that game. I was hurt. Josh, I was hurt. Obviously, I knew Burrow was out. So I felt good. I felt good about Browning coming in because he's been in before when Burrow went down, and, you know, he did pretty well. But obviously what you guys were able to do defensively, forget the offense. I want to talk about the defense because you, Isaiah Rogers, that front end, man, you guys were all over the place and actually dominated the game for all four quarters. I thought at some point, I don't even know why I had the belief that we even had a chance to win.

33:37But what you guys showed the other night with Brian Flores, his creativity and what he does exotically defensively and having the personnel to be able to do some of the things he wants to do. Man, it was a beautiful sight to see. A beautiful sight to see. Yeah, man. When you can put it all together like that, especially on game day, we talk about it, we preach it every week. And for us to come and do that, especially after a loss and the way we gave up 200 rushing yards a week before, and that's not the way we play defense in Minnesota. So for us to come back a week of practice, going hard, head down, grinding, and for us to come out Sunday and put that out there for everybody to watch, and that's on tape now for the rest of the season, it was special.

34:19Shannon Sharpe:We mentioned, I think you guys have five turnovers at the half. Isaiah Rogers, he get a long pick six, and then he gets a punch out, scoop and score. And then he gets, it's like another punch out. And it seems like this is just happening back to back to back. And you're about to look at like, damn, boy, what did you have to eat for breakfast? Yeah, it's crazy too. I walked up to him after one of his plays. I think it was after the forced fumble and he picked that up and scored. and I grabbed his hands. I said, whatever you got, let me get some of that. And, hey, lo and behold, the Lord blessed me with a kick.

34:54That boy came right in my lap. I said, okay, he really has something. I don't know what he had and what his routine was last week, but I've been close to his hip this week. I'm going to do the same. I'm going to do the same thing.

35:05Shannon Sharpe:Obviously, you guys go to Dublin. You played the Steelers in Ireland. You excited about it? I mean, you know anything about Ireland other than, hey, is it the UK? I mean, but have you ever been to Ireland? Are you excited about playing in Ireland? No, we've done the London thing a couple times, but I've never been to Ireland. Don't know too much about the culture. Obviously, I know a little bit, but for me, it's going to be a first, something that I did want to experience sometime in my life, just traveling and exploring the world. But yeah, it's going to be a unique experience. Yeah, I'm packing up, just finished doing a little bit of that, man.

35:44We head out tomorrow. Yeah, it's crazy, man. So you got to get used to that time difference. And we actually playing two games overseas back to back. So y 'all staying over there, right? Yeah, we staying over there. We head to London on Monday. So it's going to be crazy. It's going to be crazy. It's going to be dope. I mean, obviously, I've been to Ireland many times to watch soccer matches. So I'm not sure how much free time you guys do have. Obviously, you're going that far. But when you go somewhere that far, you obviously want to get out and at least venture out. experience the culture. I'm not sure how much leeway and leash we'll give you guys.

36:19We'll get a little bit. Huh? We'll get a little bit. Okay, okay. You're going to like it. You're going to like it. I can't say it right now on the show on some of the things that you can enjoy and do but I'm going to text you. Bad, bad, bad.

36:32Shannon Sharpe:Since you're going to Ireland, you can't have a pint so you can't do that. I don't know how much you're going to get an opportunity to do in Ireland but you'll probably get something to do in London because you guys leave on Monday. Tuesdays your off day, so that'll probably be the day that you get an opportunity to go see Big Ben or, you know, really. Yeah, you get an opportunity. Yeah, get around the city. Yeah, to take in some of that. JJ goes down. Obviously, he had a great game. Game one, he didn't play well the first half, but then he comes out, plays like gangbusters in the second half against Chicago, and you guys win that ball game.

37:06Shannon Sharpe:The second game didn't go quite so well. He gets nicked. In comes Carson Wentz. how gratifying is to have a veteran that that has won a lot of games in this league played played for a number of years and you know like you know what we've got to play at our level we got let's make it easy on him let's if we can get an opportunity to get our hands on some balls let's take let's take the football away let's get a couple scooping score let's get a pick six let's do something to make it easy so for our team but you got a guy veteran guy what's what was it like watching what he was able to do with the opportunities that you guys presented it.

37:43Yeah, man, it was nice, man. As a defense, you can help out the offense. You can play complimentary football, and you get a vet in there that understands time of possession and just understands how to work the NFL game and the ebbs and flows of a football game. It allows you to play with a different kind of hunger and calmness on defense. Obviously, you know, we knew we had to step up, and we know we're going to have to step up moving forward, just understanding, you know, we got a backup quarterback in now, and we still have a young quarterback. When J.J. does get back healthy, the defense is going to have to step up big.

38:21But to see Carson Wentz come in, man, and just instantly, you know, click back to, you know, his prime, it was special.

38:30Shannon Sharpe:You get Jordan Addison back this week. So now, hey, people are going to have to pay a day. Hey, all of a sudden you can't double and triple Jetta. Now you got to pay attention because Addison, hey, a burner can make plays, catch after, you know, running catch, get deep. What's it going to be like to get this addition back to your offense? Man, that's a one-to-one guy, man. He's a big play, explosive. I mean, you talk about having two number one wide receivers on your team and being able to use what they do well at a high clip. it's crazy man KO when he has both of them at his hand he can do whatever man so definitely you talk about having a quarterback a young quarterback or a backup veteran quarterback having a guy like that to throw two and 18 on the other side man you really can't go wrong man and you hand the ball off Jordan Mason Aaron Jones hey man we that look like a winning offense to me let me ask you this bro how many years you been in the league this year six so you're the right person to ask six years in the league give me your five toughest defenders that you've had to face that your defense have had to face receivers excuse me receivers receivers oh five toughest i would say uh jamar chase has been up there just because the attention you gotta uh you gotta uh have gotta know where he's at um yeah because you know he's one play and you know he could change the whole game.

40:01I don't know where I say Brown. The Lions, we see him twice a year. Great scheme, but he got great. He's a great player, too. Yeah, I was about to say, he's very efficient. He's getting in and out. He's getting in and out, man. He do a lot of the dirty work, too. Puka at the Rams. Man, we played him twice last year. He was giving us work. I ain't gonna lie. I think he's a pretty good receiver. Just being able to use your physical tools, but still being able to use your agility at the same time and being able to produce for your offense. I think Puka does it really well. Obviously, Devontae Adams, I would probably say number one on that list.

40:43Wow, yeah, because you saw him twice a year. Yeah, coming into the league, he gave my first touchdown. And he was talking cash after. I was like, yeah, I should have never messed with him. But, yeah, I would say number one on that list right now, obviously besides the guy I go against every day in practice, is definitely Devontae. Okay. Yeah, Jettas, yeah, Jettas, he a different breed, man. I done seen him do some crazy stuff. You know, practice, you know, you see a different animal.

41:12Shannon Sharpe:That's what I tell people. You think about what they do in the game, you ought to see them in practice. Oh, my gosh. He like that? Did he just do that? Crazy. Off the porch. I'm talking, we rookies. We same class. off the porch. I'm like, you sure this guy in the same class as me? He working too? He killing me. You got to take the episode, Joe? I'm going to ask you, obviously with the next game coming up, based on I'm not sure if you guys have watched film already or done any type of homework. Are there anything coming up in this next game that you guys think you have to worry about or that you have to be sure of to make sure that you don't allow to ensure that you guys played just as well as you did against my Bengals.

41:57What do you think you have to worry about in this next week's opponent, offensively? Yeah, for one, when you think about just a Mike Tomlin coach team, you think about a gritty, very physical, disciplined football team. So, you know, you add that with Aaron Rodgers, a 21-year vet, who's elite with his passing ability and his football IQ, you know, it's going to be hard for us to find a way for them to make mistakes. So, you know, on our end, we can't make mistakes. So that's going to be a big key to the game is executing and not giving them easy stuff, not missing assignments, missing blitzes and messing up coverages, making sure everybody in their spots and executing the game plan because, you know, those two very experienced people you're going against and you can't afford to give them anything to keep them in the game because once that fourth quarter hit, you know, that's when their superpowers start to show.

42:53But, yeah, they're a very physical team, but if we take it to them, man, from the get-go, I think we'll be in the right spot.

43:00Shannon Sharpe:What is the biggest difference between Coach Flores and your previous defensive coordinator? Oh, man, I think for me and just getting to know Flo over these years, I mean, I was with the other defensive coordinator for a year, but with Flo and getting to know this over these years, I think it's just his ability to understand not only players but the game and put those two together. Like he understands what this defense does well and what each player can do in this defense well. And it's not a matter of having a player who's great just because, you know, the stats and the combine says this, it's because he fits this defense and his abilities will highlight very well.

43:46And it's almost like a receiver. You're not going to put a slot receiver at the X. He ain't going to get open. So, you know, he understands how to move us around and have us do what we like to do really well, but still make it look different. You see what he said? Hey, Josh, if I can get offensive coordinators, right, to understand exactly what you just said, they have egos. They have egos. So they just call the plays and expect to put the receivers in certain positions and just go make the play, make it work. instead of understanding each player who you got understanding what you got understanding what they're good at putting them in positions to make plays where it comes to their strengths and not their weaknesses then it the game is simplified if you just do that yeah but we'll even play we'll even play more people than normal you know we'll rotate especially in that front seven we'll rotate in guys on different person down the distances right whether it's passing downs, run downs.

44:47If you can play the run, you're going to be in on run downs. If you can rush a passer, you're going to be in on pass downs. If you can drop in zones, and we need to, you know, it's one of those situations, you're going to be in. And I think that's the best part about it, man. You never see a guy on our defense doing something he don't feel comfortable doing. And, I mean, when you're playing fast and, you know, you clear head, you make plays.

45:08Shannon Sharpe:You got to put guys in position to succeed. And like you said, Josh, a lot of times, look, credit. It's my scheme. it's my offense it's my defense nah you you put you find you know what you find the you build your scheme around the players you have yep yep we seriously we switch schemes every year man besides our like base go-to plays it's been a different scheme every year man and it's just because we have different 11 guys out there so you gotta switch it up damn man what i wish sure everybody else thought like that especially the coaches man calling the plays but josh most of the time i can only attest when i was playing you know week to week and i'm just saying some of the complaints that we hear from other players on other teams is yeah and they want to do what they wait and we can only run the route this way so obviously you can you you restrict players from having the freedom to do what they do best because okay i got an ego it's my system it worked it It worked at the other place I was at.

46:08So if I come here, it should work here too.

46:11Shannon Sharpe:Look, Coach Tess said, I don't care if you take an Uber or have a taxi. As long as when his back foot hit, you where you're supposed to be, I don't give a damn what you do to get there. That's all that matters. Ask Travis, Kelsey, all of them. It ain't got to look. They're going to look the same. But I'm going to be where I'm supposed to be. Let me ask you this. Other than the weather, what's the biggest difference between Miami and Minnesota? Because you talk about 85 and sunny, and then you get minus 20 and three feet of snow. Weather, obviously, the biggest difference. But I would say just the culture, man.

46:50You know, Miami, you know, that's that fast life, man. Like, ain't no time to just sit back and chill, man. You sit back, your phone ringing. It's somewhere else. It's motion. It's something. in Minnesota, man, it's really slow motion, man. It's very family oriented, very sit back, relax. I mean, when it get cold out here and it starts snowing, you ain't going nowhere. You ain't want to go anywhere. Practice at home. Yeah, it's just get home, find your hobbies that you like to do, and do that every day. I think it's been good for my men too, especially living both lives. I've been in Miami my whole life and then for me to be up here now, I think it's definitely good to just see both sides and being able for my family to see both sides as well.

47:39I think that's really cool.

47:40Shannon Sharpe:Have you tried the Juicy Looses? Yeah, that was one of the first things I did, man. And it's a competition. It's a competition. I went to both. You got a favorite? 5-8 Club, man. They do it right, man. That's the one. outside of football what are some hobbies some things you like to do that that you're passionate about let's say when football season's over you know this is where i can find my safe haven and i have a passion for this and it's something that you enjoy doing that maybe even when you when you're done playing when you retired long down the road it's what you'll probably get into i just got i just got into bowling man and uh i think that's gonna be my golf yeah Yeah, I just got into it.

48:26I just bowled at 300, boy, two weeks ago. What? I'm close, man. I'm 278. Okay, man. Come on, dad. Let me show you how to do it. Come on. Hey, come on. We can go hit some pins, man. Bowling, definitely, man.

48:42Shannon Sharpe:What size of a bowling ball you using? I got to be specific. What you got? 15. Okay, okay, okay. Big 15, man. Yeah, big 15, man. I got a 16. I got a 14. I got to go in between. Yeah, 14 is my wrist bugging me. I got to go a little bit lower. A little lighter, yeah. I got for you. I got for you. 15, that's my, like, sweet spot. But, yeah, man, I've been really into bowling. I just – I mean, I played the piano past couple off seasons. That's been one of my big hobbies. um bacon I just picked up too making bread just doing stuff in the kitchen I'm trying to get I'm trying to get diverse man I used to cook them things up too back in the day there you go you got that time now that was me before football I used to cook them things up no you didn't Come on.

49:59Shannon Sharpe:So how long have you been bowling? I would say, what now? Probably now, like six months. Really? I got good fads, though. I ain't going to lie. Yeah, hell yeah. That's how I know. That's how I know. That's how I know it's going to stick. You know when you touch someone, you're like, oh yeah, this is me. I only bowled 200 a couple times. I only bowled, I think my best is like 215, 221, something like that. I'm like 180 to 202, something like that. Yeah, that's me. You garbage, bro. If I don't get 200, that's a bad day. Damn.

So I appreciate y 'all. Man, it's been fun talking to y 'all, man. I can't believe it. To be honest, I can't believe I'm talking to y 'all right now.

51:18That's crazy. Late night, night camp, talking to two goats.

57:07Shannon Sharpe:Ocho, Micah Parsons doesn't expect any booze when he returns to Dallas on Sunday. I think they're going to give me a good round of applause. There's no hard feelings there. At least for me, it's going to be a great atmosphere when asked about his feelings towards Jerry Jones, not a welcome back tribute. There are a lot of things I consider disrespectful throughout the process, but I wouldn't say the tribute is one of them. I would say I just think there's hard feelings maybe there for them. But for me, I'm happy where I'm at and we got a good football team. So I guess I can receive my tribute when I win.

57:41Shannon Sharpe:Ocho, we both returned, played against our former team. we invested so much into obviously you tell me all the time i was just there for like a weekend at baltimore but uh that's it did you go back did you did you play in since did you play cincinnati uh no no i did i didn't i didn't because you have to think once i left cincinnati i only had that one year after that right right right yeah now i was done i was done well they gave me love i mean when i went back to denver i went back to denver the second year because first year ocho we beat them in the first round of the playoffs in the wild card game so we beat them and then the following year we went back crowd cheered every time I caught the ball they introduced the offense crowd cheered I go back then I go back to Denver and we go to Baltimore gave me love both times so yes sir uh I I think the thing is is that for me uh there was really no hostility one way or of there's really no protracted contracts and going back and forth asking for a trade x y and z uh but i told you when he laid on that table i said oh that ain't a good look though yeah i told you yeah the funny thing back especially when it comes to the dallas cowboys cowboys fan base there's no hostility towards michael parson because you know everything was out of control everything's out of control so everything that was said and and and and somewhat of an almost an unfair way that you don't think an owner would say he can maybe think it but actually Jerry Jones is one of the few owners who gets away with saying the things that other owners think and he said it out loud he didn't care so if anything when he does come back to goddamn Dallas there's no reason for the fans to do him at all if anybody would be booed is you know who yeah for me I was look I was in Denver for 10 years the first time Mojo and come back And, you know, we had won, you know, back-to-back Super Bowls.

59:41Shannon Sharpe:I was, you know, went to seven consecutive Pro Bowls, all pro and all that stuff, and went to one Pro Bowl in Baltimore. But I think the thing is that the fans really appreciated how hard I worked. I didn't complain. I just came to work, showed up, did my job, and I left. I had only got along great with my teammates. And I think Michael got along. Look, I don't know the in or and out of it. I don't know. but I just think the thing is the last, like the last four, two or three months Ocho with this contract talk. And you know, look, at the end of the day, those fans, they're Cowboys fans. Now you might find a sprinkle here or there of Michael Parsons fans, but those are Cowboys fans.

1:00:20Shannon Sharpe:More times than not, you know how fans are. Fans are going to side with the team. That's just the way it is. Well, listen, you also have some that have common sense and understand how things are working. Some understand the business, some don't. Some only worry about who is a part of my Dallas Cowboy team. That's all they care about. But then some understand the business and understand how it works and able to separate the two. Being a fan and understanding how the team works, especially when they come down to contract. Sometimes they should be used to it anyway. They should be used to it anyway when it comes to their star players because they've had to deal with it for so many years.

1:00:57Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. I think it's just funny going back standing on the opposite side staring across over there for so for 10 years though i stood on this side looking across the field now i'm over i'm across the field staring back across the field and the same thing when i went to baltimore it's different you go in different way you know all of a sudden now i'm taking a bus to the stadium i'm used to driving myself to the stadium uh-huh uh so it's it's uh it's gonna be different it's gonna be different uh and it's so new i mean he's like only four years in dallas i mean most people when you leave and go back play another team it's years and years you know peyton when tom played new england think about how long time tom had played 20 seasons in new england he goes back you know uh first year uh and he plays so we We get that, but it's like, man, four years, that's really, damn, that's quick.

1:01:57Shannon Sharpe:But sometimes, Ocho, you don't get that side of your control. We don't always get the control. And look, as an athlete, we try to control what we can control. And that's what we're good at, Ocho. Because, look, I knew if I worked my tail off, okay, good things are going to happen. Because I can control how hard I work. When it comes to things like what happened with Michael, that was out of his control. Yeah. Absolutely. And matter of fact, when it comes to things that we can control, the one thing that we can control, we can control our production and what we do and the work we put in. Most of the time, if you put the work in, the results are going to show up on Sundays.

1:02:36Two things we can't control is we can't control injuries and you can't control getting older. That's it. You want to do as much as you can in between that time and trying to ensure you don't get hurt. but once you hit like 30 and 31 on the game start to play the game listen once you hit 30 and 31 32 33 they start playing the games oh well your targets start start decreasing and they start you know we need to talk to you about your production and man come on but i mean

1:03:14Shannon Sharpe:i mean tributes normally mad that's for like the best of the best i mean you won championships year of here mvp you know i'm saying like that you're a defensive player of the year you spend some time i mean after four years and look and this is not a knock on michael michael's a phenomenal player but you know when emmy came back emmy came back he was all-time leading rusher you know i'm saying it was an mvp emmy was won three super bowls tom going back to new england payton going back to indy it's it's levels to i mean uh of a video tribute everybody's not going to get a video tribute even if you play 10 years 15 years of the place every i mean it all depends on on who you were what you did if you're a 15-year special teams player you're probably not now maybe if you're matthew slater you might you'll probably get one uh if you're uh adam venetierre uh venetier you'll probably get one but but look if i'm mike i ain't worried about that like michael said look we win the game that's my tribute and i'm coming you know he coming ocho you know yeah he coming he'd been working on a move he's like because when we're there let me tell you what you did when you was going against your guys in practice you know if if this was a real game what would happen because i'm saying bro you do realize this practice but if i actually played you in a real city a situation right right right right bro i'm cooking y 'all oh yeah for real yeah and listen you know I you know a list one thing about it especially in practice that them boys made me better I remember all my DB's name by hard remember Jeff Burr yeah I do yeah I think you went to know the name right yeah Jeff Burr's um Leon Hall Torrey James Torrey played with me from LSU he played with me and Denver yeah man listen um J.

1:06:16Shit, you going to call a timeout to get me out of the game. But that was so much fun to me, man. Just looking at Marvin's face when all the ones came out, all the ones that come out, and I stand on the field acting like there's something wrong with me until the second team come in and force Marvin to call a timeout. Man, listen, I'm here to play football, man. I ain't worried about no injuries. don't try to protect me from getting hurt I play football I went through two weeks of training camp, two a days and now you're telling me I only get to play one series, one drive? No sir.

1:06:52Shannon Sharpe:In a situation like that Michael's going to say this is why I was worth $47 million this game, this is why the Packers gave up two first rounders and Kenny Clark and gave me$47 million this is why yeah you see what i did today this why make it make it a statement absolutely and matter of fact and speaking of 47 million he gonna show that all season long especially as they continue to work him in allow him to get more reps allow him to get his legs up under him you know once he gets in football shape because he missed so much time you know missing training We only what, week four? Week four. Yeah.
