Yeah, what 4 00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:12,600 Speaker 1: I would say with that is, you know, I know 5 00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:15,880 Speaker 1: he's very appreciative to Flaherty family for allowing him to 6 00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:20,200 Speaker 1: wear that number. You know, I'd say, ask Malik about 7 00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:22,360 Speaker 1: the number. The most important thing for us is to 8 00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:25,760 Speaker 1: help Malik be the best football player can be. So 9 00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:28,400 Speaker 1: I know he's very appreciative to the family. I know 10 00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:30,880 Speaker 1: he spoke to them. You know, he spoke to John 11 00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:35,080 Speaker 1: So that's his number, and we're getting ready to play football. 12 00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:46,199 Speaker 2: We're happening with the decision to put Deontay Johnson on. 13 00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:49,479 Speaker 3: I are something out here doing some talking at least yesterday. 14 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:51,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, that was you know again, we've made some more 15 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:53,400 Speaker 1: roster changes. 16 00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,000 Speaker 3: I know, I told you guys, it's fluid.
