00:00Austin, it is great to talk to you again. How are you?
00:03I'm doing great. I'm doing great. Good to be back on, boys. How have we been?
00:07Pretty damn good, dude.
00:08We were nervous. No Austin Eckler. We thought everything was going to come screeching to a halt,
00:13but the boys survived the week. And Jeremy McNichols, you were right. You told us he
00:17could play. He'd be just fine. He went out and he balled in the next man up league. It went very
00:24well.
00:25Heck yeah, man. And look, we got a lot of playmakers on the offense. So yes, if I'm not
00:31there, we lose one of the players. But look, we got a lot more guys that are showing up and doing
00:38the thing. Obviously, Jayden's doing his thing. Terry looks good, coming alive. I'd love to see
00:43that too, and so on and so forth. So they took care of business, and I'm glad to be back with
00:47them now.
00:48How are you feeling, buddy? And what's the latest on you working your way back?
00:52Yeah, you know, I'm just continuing to complete the processes of concussion protocol. You know,
00:57I'm working my way through. I'm feeling like myself. Hopefully, you can tell a little bit
01:02more with it today than our last conversation. And so that's all a good sign to getting back
01:08as hopefully over this week.
01:10That was the question. Do you think you're tracking toward the possibility of being able
01:14to play this weekend?
01:16Absolutely tracking towards being able to play. And so that's a good sign, you know,
01:21especially when you're talking about your head. Hey, you want to make sure everything is
01:25how it's supposed to be. It's not one of those like ankles where you can put some tape on it,
01:29you know, like this is my brain I'm talking about. So I want to make sure that everything
01:32is feeling normal and is, you know, reacting normal and is where it's supposed to be. And
01:37things are definitely trending that direction.
01:39Sounds very good. Austin Eckler here on Grant and Danny.
