00:00 Well, look, Hockinson's one of those targets.
00:03 You know, when you do the hit sheet this late in the season or midseason,
00:07 if you just look at the dots in the analytics,
00:10 you know, they can kind of tell you where the ball's going.
00:14 Generally speaking, that player's a little closer to the quarterback
00:17 than the outside receivers and oftentimes can be,
00:20 you know, a real high percentage.
00:26 Look, he's got exceptional receiving skills,
00:30 and so you have to understand where he's at and how you're going to handle him.
00:35 You know, he's got some of those joker traits that we talk about.
00:39 Look, it's only been two weeks.
00:41 He's in good shape.
00:43 It's good to have him back.
00:46 Now, I told him we're on a little bit of a roll.
00:48 Don't mess anything up now, you know, but he's doing good.
00:52 He's doing good.
00:55 Well, I just have done it before two or three times, and so...
00:59 Yeah, I mean, I think it's important.
01:06 And, you know, back when we didn't know any better, we'd just come home.
01:10 But the recovery, when you're up till 5 a.m.,
01:14 you know, is three and a half, four days,
01:16 and those are work days, so you stay on your clock, so to speak,
01:22 and that means pushing the week back a day.
01:26 So that recovery period, I just think, is important.
01:30 I think what's a little bit overrated is what you can do the day before a game.
01:34 You know, you can have a good practice and still play the next day.
01:39 I just think the time from when you last played to when, you know, is important.
01:43 So that's just something that we've done for a while.
