00:00No one has more personal, individual, career or year-long career records than Lamar Jackson.
00:07He has those records because he's been available.
00:09Let's get that straight.
00:10Second of all, let's move to this week.
00:13I told you guys I had the exact same injury.
00:15I missed three games.
00:16It took me three weeks.
00:17I made the point that I think the injury that I had was a little bit worse.
00:20I don't like to compare trauma, physical, mental, or emotional.
00:23But the point I was trying to make is I have a little familiarity with this.
00:27The ability to plant is the most important part.
00:30If you can't explode, you cannot play.
00:32And my guess is that his explosive ability, his ability to put power and drive off that leg and start
00:37to come back.
00:38What I felt when I had that injury was kind of like a dead leg.
00:41When I tried to push off, it's almost like my leg gave out.
00:43The fact that he jogged out to practice, the fact that he actually participated in practice, those are all positives.
00:50I don't know what's going to happen when he goes 100.
00:52My assumption is that he's tested it more than just a jog.
00:56And that unless there's a setback, I anticipate that Lamar will play.
