1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:03,760
Speaker 1: How does it feel to finally be ready to get

2
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:06,040
Speaker 1: back on the field. Um, you know, it feels great

3
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:08,400
Speaker 1: just getting out there with my team, you know, just

00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:10,200
Speaker 1: just getting better every day with them, and you know,

5
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 1: just just looking for my role and the way to

6
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:14,840
Speaker 1: help the team. How has the progression been over the

7
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:16,920
Speaker 1: last two weeks of getting back and back to work

8
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:19,319
Speaker 1: with Tom and getting back into this office. You know,

9
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:21,279
Speaker 1: it's been great just just going out there with the

10
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 1: mentality just to get better every day, Just just going

11
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 1: out there, just trying to do my best to get

12
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 1: better and um, you know, get better at something every day.

13
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 1: So it's been good to Detroit. We haven't talked to

14
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,599
Speaker 1: you since then when you had pulled up in practice

15
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 1: there that day, because they're almost like, were you trying

16
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 1: to push through that to show you know, you could

17
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:44,520
Speaker 1: keep going? And do you almost regret what resulted from

18
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 1: playing in that game? M No, I don't have any regrets. Um,

19
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 1: I don't need to show anything, you know, me going

20
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 1: out there and playing hard, you know, playing through stuff.

21
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 1: That's just that's just the type of mentality I have,

22
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 1: And that's just the type of mindset I grew up. Happen,

23
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 1: So it wasn't me trying to show anything, show toughness

24
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 1: or anything. That's just me. That was the waiting process been.

25
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:07,400
Speaker 1: I'm sure you want to get out there, but you

26
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 1: knew going in that you had to wait so many weeks,

27
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: and I'm sure that gets frustrated. Hmmm. I just looked

28
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,399
Speaker 1: at it as a blessing. I just looked at the

29
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 1: positive things. And you know, God has done so much

30
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 1: throughout my life. He's he's put stepping stones in certain places.

31
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 1: So I just looked at it the same way. Whatever

32
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 1: would have been, like trying to build chemistry with Tom Rady. Um.

33
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:32,959
Speaker 1: You know, it's been great just going out there just

34
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 1: just like I said, just trying to get better every day,

35
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,039
Speaker 1: you know, just just trying to make sure that I'm

36
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:41,400
Speaker 1: improving and then giving them a hall every day
