It has is, 3 00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:11,000 Speaker 1: you know, because ups and downs about do you know 4 00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:13,119 Speaker 1: I'm here today, you know, enjoying it right now. I'm 5 00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:15,640 Speaker 1: having fun, so a lot to see about this now, 6 00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:17,080 Speaker 1: you know. Right now I'm having a really a lot 7 00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:21,200 Speaker 1: of fun. So I'm enjoying it. What was it like 8 00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:23,320 Speaker 1: last year being being away from the team. Do any 9 00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:25,400 Speaker 1: work on year old? I know you've made this as 10 00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:27,040 Speaker 1: an opped down, but I'm sure that I had to 11 00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:29,480 Speaker 1: be a little difficult to not be around the lot 12 00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:31,600 Speaker 1: of room and all the guys and stuff. Right, yeah, 13 00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:33,360 Speaker 1: I do with a lot of relationship with a lot 14 00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:36,080 Speaker 1: of guys here. Uh, A lot weren't here when I 15 00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:39,239 Speaker 1: got back. And I'll spend time, you know, talking to him, 16 00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:40,760 Speaker 1: you know, tell him how I watched the games and 17 00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:44,360 Speaker 1: how I enjoyed Washington play. Uh. You know, sometimes I 18 00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:46,239 Speaker 1: just sit and work out as they played the game, 19 00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:48,400 Speaker 1: so so I get the same type of feeling, you 20 00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:51,559 Speaker 1: know sometimes. But it was just it was different. But 21 00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 1: I did what the best I could. Why did you 22 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:58,160 Speaker 1: dropped out? Sam? At the time? It's the best jasion 23 00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,760 Speaker 1: for me. You know, sometimes you have to take responsibility. 24 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,040 Speaker 1: It's a dot for your family. You know, you take 25 00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,840 Speaker 1: care of people around you take care of yourself. So 26 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:08,280 Speaker 1: I just chose the best decision at the time. Did 27 00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:13,959 Speaker 1: your legal situation factor into it at the time? A 28 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,160 Speaker 1: lot of factors was involved, So I can't just say 29 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:20,520 Speaker 1: it was that you're concerned that the legal situation would 30 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:25,039 Speaker 1: affect your status here with the team at any player 31 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,960 Speaker 1: that when you made that decision, talking about at any 32 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 1: point over the last year, I was more concerned about 33 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 1: playing football, you know, not about the legal situation. I 34 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:37,080 Speaker 1: knew that it resist. So with football, you know it's 35 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,160 Speaker 1: here and sometimes it's gonna be gone the same sound, 36 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:46,679 Speaker 1: So I was more goan to serning about football. How 37 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 1: much do you think you missed out here? You know, 38 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:50,920 Speaker 1: you don't play a whole year. You know, did you 39 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 1: come back rusty? You know, I'm not sure of yourself. 40 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 1: You know you talked to pick it up right away, 41 00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 1: isn't it well, I actually do it before, you know, 42 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 1: having an injury. You I set out a while and 43 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 1: then I came back. You know, I kno the rust off, 44 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 1: so I kind of figured it would be the same way. Uh, 45 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,679 Speaker 1: with the great coaches staff to actually helped me along 46 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 1: kind of faster, and I thought it would be. Uh 47 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 1: so now I'm kind of playing how I want to play. 48 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:16,359 Speaker 1: I can be a step faster, I could be a 49 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 1: little bit stronger. So that's when I'll reach out to 50 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,639 Speaker 1: my coaches and they're hoping it every since. So wait on, now, 51 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 1: how much how much do you feel like you you 52 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:25,519 Speaker 1: have to prove still in this league? You know, obviously 53 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:27,400 Speaker 1: went through a lot of injuries, and you try to 54 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 1: opt out last year and this pretty much a new 55 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 1: coaching staff since it dropped out. Do you feel like 56 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:32,919 Speaker 1: you have a lot to prove as you got to 57 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 1: come into this year. Um, I just wanted to be 58 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:37,640 Speaker 1: part of his team and sell these coaches what I 59 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 1: can do and help this team much as I can, 60 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 1: you know, And I love football, and so this I 61 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 1: love doing.

You think they're 66 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 1: just gonna you know, they brought some other guys here 67 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 1: who what what's you what's your thoughts are I've been 68 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 1: able to stick on this team. Anybody to play football, 69 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 1: I know, you know all your life you're always competing. 70 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 1: So when you got competitor with you, you know, it 71 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 1: kind of like it. It makes it fun. That's when 72 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:12,920 Speaker 1: you got a relationship with the guys. And and now 73 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 1: we're teaching it every day. So when you make plays, 74 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 1: they make plays. It's always fund the whiles in the 75 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:21,119 Speaker 1: filming room. So I've just been enjoying it. Just meet 76 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 1: you know, the guys that compl us a lot, you know, 77 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:25,679 Speaker 1: places I want to be this since I want to be, 78 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 1: I just look at them and just tell myself every day, 79 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 1: you know, I started to be better. Where are you? 80 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:33,080 Speaker 1: Bol side of things like where do you? Where do 81 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 1: you consider yourself?

Uh So I would say, 86 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 1: let's right away that I would say my coaches play 87 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 1: a better factor in that they actually be held to 88 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,120 Speaker 1: be along pretty fast. So I've been I've been feeling 89 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 1: great I've been stepped ahead of myself and I still 90 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 1: trying to get faster, stronger, you know better. How much 91 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 1: contact will you with the guys on the team. And 92 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 1: I don't even know if the coaches up to them 93 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 1: last year when you were after that, Um, the guys 94 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 1: that I knew, of course, they're they're hit me up 95 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 1: or they talk to them through social media or through text, 96 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,160 Speaker 1: you know, whenever I could. So it was just the 97 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:18,840 Speaker 1: fact that we reached out to each other or you know, 98 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 1: they had a good game, backgame each other. The chair 99 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:22,600 Speaker 1: him up, well, let him know how good they went 100 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,160 Speaker 1: or did or you know what they could have done better, 101 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, or what I would have 102 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 1: done in that position. But it was always fun to 103 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,040 Speaker 1: watch them play, and I joined watching the new guys 104 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,599 Speaker 1: on the team plays too, So it was just more 105 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,039 Speaker 1: exciting on my side. I just don't want to be 106 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 1: back out there, you know, have fun with them. So 107 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 1: was it was it strange feeling locked them back in 108 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 1: the locker room, you know, with with this new coaching staff, 109 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 1: all these new guys like you haven't been pretty much 110 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 1: in the locker room since December of team.
