But you know, I think, um, you know, 112 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:04,800 Speaker 1: I'm just having a lot of experience and you know, 113 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 1: knowing the offense and no one I could you know, 114 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,840 Speaker 1: pop in there and be ready to go. Obviously a 115 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:11,480 Speaker 1: lot has happened since we last ball to you. I'm 116 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 1: just curious what was the trade deadline like for you? 117 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 1: Was there any discussion of the book possibly go anywhere else? Uh? No, 118 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 1: I don't think so. That's a long time ago. I 119 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 1: can't I can't take that far. How wild is it 120 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:28,040 Speaker 1: the fact that you spent fifteen years and took every 121 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 1: single snap and he has a kid in his first 122 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 1: year and he he ends up to getting the injury injured? 123 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,480 Speaker 1: And does it make you feel that much fortunate that 124 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 1: you were able to play for such a long period 125 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 1: of time? A don't getting hurt? Well, you had injuries 126 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 1: and stuff and you just uh, you know, try to 127 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:44,840 Speaker 1: try to you know, fight through things and and uh 128 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 1: and get ready. And I think you know Daniel wants 129 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 1: to play. I think he Um, you know, he's gonna 130 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 1: do everything possible to to get back and and rehab. 131 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 1: And he's a young kid, so I'm sure he'll he'll 132 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 1: be you'll bounce back quickly. Um And you know, but uh, 133 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 1: I'm sure you know, the staff and everybody wants to um, 134 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:02,720 Speaker 1: you know, don't want to take something that that can 135 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 1: be somewhat minor and turn it into, you know, something 136 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 1: that's a bigger deal down the line. Did you have 137 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 1: any conversation with the Giants prior to today about wanting 138 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,360 Speaker 1: to play at least one more game in the Giant uniform. No, 139 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 1: not that never never came up.
