Speaker 1: was out, so um, but obviously I couldn't do that

12
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 1: about that. But um, now they if you know, communicated

13
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 1: with me and telling me that you know, they're trying

14
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:38,240

Speaker 1: could play. Um, obviously I could. I'm telling them I

00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 1: trying to get back out there. Can you think of

21
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 1: a reason though that they could say you can't play?

22
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 1: Give them what you're telling us I don't know that

23
00:00:58,520 --> 00:00:59,959
Speaker 1: it's on them. I don't know. You have to tell

24
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 1: how your hand sore after catching full speed passage? Nah,

25
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 1: it's just yea, it is there the same as what

26
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:08,960
Speaker 1: it was. Was there a risk of further injury? How

27
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:12,040
Speaker 1: much contact did you know? So it's just like if

28
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 1: you know, I could, I don't have any normal Yeah,

29
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 1: it's like any normal break. How much contact did you

30
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 1: give it? Actually like grabbing guys, shedding blocks that kind

31
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 1: of thing. Good. Yeah, Like so you know when I

32
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 1: was out there obviously, Um, I'm trying to you know,

33
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,119
Speaker 1: get get back out there. So I have to test

34
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 1: it out. Um so like anything that I can do

35
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 1: to uh provide a little bit of you know, contact

36
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 1: against it, you know, obviously I'm trying to do that, um,

37
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:40,399
Speaker 1: to see you know how much I can take, you know,

38
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 1: what I need to do, what I don't need to

39
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,040
Speaker 1: do so, um but everything feel fun when I did it.

40
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 1: So how much of wanting to get back this week

41
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 1: is what's on the line? Man? I want to get

42
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 1: back big time, and you know the coaches know that,

43
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 1: and uh the trainers know that. Um, so they know

44
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: that I really want to get back. Kind of running

45
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 1: out of patients here. But uh, because of the circumstances

46
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:06,559
Speaker 1: of the game. Yeah that but you know I miss

47
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 1: a lot of weeks, so um, obviously you know I

48
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: love the game. So I'm trying to get back out there.

49
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 1: Um that's what I do and it's what I love

50
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: to do. So I'm trying to get back out there.

51
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:19,799
Speaker 1: What's your football shape status? Because they didn't let you

52
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 1: run for a while, right, could you even do a

53
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 1: bike or anything? Yeah, so I couldn't do anything for

54
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 1: a little minute. Um, I had the pens in there. Um,

55
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 1: so I couldn't do anything. But uh, my condition is great. Yeah,

56
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 1: my my legs work still. Um so uh you know,

57
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 1: there was no no drop off when the camera conditions.

58
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:39,919
Speaker 1: I feel fine. Generally, when you break a bone in

59
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: your body and it's still swollen, your foot still swollen,

60
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 1: that's a swelling all subsided or is it still something

61
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,679
Speaker 1: there or what man? Something there? Um, Like I said,

62
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: it's got to get used to just the contact party

63
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: and so obviously you're still gonna get a little swelling

64
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 1: here and there. But I think that's a part of um,

65
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,920
Speaker 1: you know, building that scar tissue. Obviously I dealt with

66
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 1: injury before, So I know how it works. I know

67
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: that you know it needs to be uh pushed a

68
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:07,959
Speaker 1: little bit in order to get back to where you

69
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: wanted to get to. Um, So you know that's what

70
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 1: I'm doing. And it's been good. Huh did to give

71
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 1: you a good? Yeah, gave me a good Sure, spl

72
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 1: let me obviously you don't have all more fingers independently.

73
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: Just how much is it limited? Where is that how

74
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 1: much like limit? Or just where you do with your

75
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 1: hands grab shirt with? Oh yeah, I mean you know

76
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,359
Speaker 1: it's it's gonna be different. Um, but I consider myself

77
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 1: an athlete, um, just like a lot of these guys

78
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: in here. So we're able to adjust. I'll be able

79
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: to adjust and figure out what works and what doesn't work.

80
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 1: And you know what I could do that to get

81
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 1: around to be able to steal uh like it like

82
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 1: I'll be having all my hands still, so um all

83
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: right in use of all my fingers, so I figure

84
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: it out, Well, why this splint? Why this and not

85
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 1: the cloth? Uh? Just so I could have more, you know,

86
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 1: because it's not bad, you know, it's just that we're

87
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: just trying to protect it. Um, you know right now

88
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: because it's coming back. But obviously I didn't want everything

89
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 1: to be restricted, and they didn't either, because they still

90
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: wanted me to be able to do, you know, then

91
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: catch the ball, do stuff like that. So if I

92
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 1: would have had a full cast on, then I would

93
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 1: super let. But with this like pretty much to do

94
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 1: everything I don't think I can't do is grab anybody,

95
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 1: but I could still you know, hit and you know

96
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,239
Speaker 1: extand all that. So my my risk is free. Everything

97
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 1: is pretty much free exet from my four fingers. And

98
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 1: you know when you first went down, was was this

99
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 1: kind of when you first kind of had the injury

100
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 1: and you talk to trainers and you went through testing,

101
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 1: everything happened. It was this kind of the date that

102
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: you've had circled up, like this is kind of when

103
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 1: I could return to the field. I don't think we

104
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 1: didn't have a date really, we were just kind of

105
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 1: going and for me, like I was just trying to

106
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 1: whenever I could get back. It's that was three weeks

107
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 1: from then before we you know, like so there was

108
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: no circle date. Um. I was just trying to basically

109
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: work myself and you know, do whatever they needed me

110
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 1: to do. UM, just making sure I was always tell

111
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: my rehab. Just I get back out there fast as

112
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,679
Speaker 1: I could so. Um, But we didn't have like a

113
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: planned data or anything. We just going with how I

114
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:12,160
Speaker 1: felt on the bones. Fully here the bones are healed.

115
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 1: And do you require do they require like one more

116
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: X ray or image? We're clearly to play. I don't

117
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,840
Speaker 1: think so, No, but we might do another one. I

118
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 1: don't know. Um, Mike said that's some of the trainers

119
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,359
Speaker 1: and and we haven't talked about that yet, but I

120
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't think we will need another X ray.

121
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 1: The last time was yeah, yeah, yeah, the last time. Yeah,

122
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:37,600
Speaker 1: because he driving you what we're in the sense that

123
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,280
Speaker 1: you look at the last six games, if it's one

124
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 1: for one, has it been tough? I think we three alright,

125
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: slice we got to it all. But I mean, hasn't

126
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: been tough watching the team struggle without you? Uh you know?

127
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,919
Speaker 1: I mean no, like in this league, you're gonna have

128
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 1: ups and you're gonna have downs. Um. I've been saying

129
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:05,719
Speaker 1: that from the jump, thought, like you know this league

130
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: is is so it's a roller coaster, so you gotta

131
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 1: be able to adjust, um throughout the season. Obviously, injuries happen,

132
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 1: so you know it really doesn't. You know, we're gonna

133
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: have our ups and downs, and that's what happened, and

134
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:20,280
Speaker 1: we just gotta learned to adjust, and I think we've

135
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 1: done a great job of doing that the past couple

136
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 1: of weeks. Um, But no, we're fun. Wink made a

137
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: big deal about the fans could make a big impact

138
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 1: that this game. I think even setting out a tweet

139
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 1: about that. How do you feel about like the having

140
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: this game at home and the difference the power can

141
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 1: make a big time I think it's gonna be a

142
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 1: big uh you know, it's obviously a big game for

143
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 1: us UM. But you know, I think the fans, just

144
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 1: like any other home game, uh them bring the energy

145
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: and uh them being present, it's gonna be a huge

146
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: help for us UM. But like I said, it's just

147
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 1: like any other home game that we have. Obviously we

148
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 1: want them to be loud. You know, they will be loud,

149
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,479
Speaker 1: and uh you know it'll be fun to make it.

150
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 1: You know about you coming back with Doory could be

151
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 1: back to what kind of significance is that for the

152
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:06,720
Speaker 1: defense is a big big time. UM. So we've been,

153
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 1: like I said, we've been working, man, just trying to

154
