27
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,039
Speaker 1: being away from the game and working out all the

28
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 1: time that helps physically. But you know, you know, I

122
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 1: just you know, wish when we was out there, but

123
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 1: you know, just being what we were and you know,

124
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:12,159
Speaker 1: doing what we could do with the song traditions, rookie traditions.

125
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:13,840
Speaker 1: I mean, this is the first year then I've been

139
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 1: time to just reflect and just you know, evaluate hit

140
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,039
Speaker 1: my lifestyle, what I was doing on and off the field,

141
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:06,720
