00:00 >> How's he approaching the week and involved and stay involved?
00:04 >> He's preparing like he's gonna play actually.
00:06 So I'm seeing him take extra reps whenever he's not going.
00:10 I get a few reps with him.
00:11 I'd say he's just preparing like he's playing and I don't see nothing different.
00:16 >> Does it seem like to you he is pretty close to get to 100%?
00:21 >> I mean, he looked good to me, but at the end of the day,
00:23 it's up to his decision and the coach's decision.
00:26 So me saying that ain't gonna matter so far.
00:30 >> Any noticeable difference in practice for him?
00:31 >> Yeah, yeah, he's still got the spin on the ball.
00:34 His footwork was great.
00:35 I don't see nothing holding him back so it looked good to me.
00:39 >> How much did it mean to you, the Mason,
00:42 hugging in the pocket the way he did?
00:43 >> A lot, so he was so poised in the pocket.
00:47 That's real big.
00:48 The thing I was keeping an eye on, got the D-line trying to get in your face or
00:53 whatever it is.
00:53 But just little stuff like that showing that he's gonna stay in the pocket a little
00:57 longer, make his reads, not try to get out so quick.
01:00 Find his guy.
01:01 He did that, made plays for him, it looked good.
01:05 He's trying to build off of that this week.
