He said the knees he saw were more complex as a group than in previous years.  However, he also said there wasn't one knee he opened up that he thought couldn't be repaired.  He said complexity puts conditioning behind schedule because of the need for a longer time on crutches.  
He anticipated every one being back on the field barring anything unusual.  He did say that 9 months is the MINIMUM amount of recovery time. We can assume that any setback, minor or not, could affect this timeline

His segment starts at the 6:15 mark and runs about 15-20 minutes

Truck did the research, and because he had tongue surgury and it healed quicker than expected I think it's safe to assume he's able to to project out this timeline better than this dude.
