1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:01,480
Speaker 1: What do you feel like you think you're gonna be

00:00:01,560 --> 00:00:04,360
Speaker 1: ready in twenty one days. I'm gonna have to funny,

3
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:06,120
Speaker 1: you know, That's all I got. So but now I

4
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:07,960
Speaker 1: feel good. It's nice to be back out there in

5
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:09,319
Speaker 1: the field and you know, nice to run around with

6
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:11,000
Speaker 1: the guys. And it was a good time. It's a

7
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:12,240
Speaker 1: good feel to be back out there. So I don't

8
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 1: think I was gonna be back out there this fast.

9
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 1: So's today I was just I was just excited to

10
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 1: be back out there. I just want to go out

11
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 1: and just play football again. I have to think I

12
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:24,079
Speaker 1: have to, you know, worry about making calls and just

13
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 1: go out there and play football. But it was fun.

14
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 1: It's len to be back out there with the guys

15
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 1: and just you know that camaraderie. You know, you don't

16
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 1: get that when you just buy yourself doing indie or

17
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:34,839
Speaker 1: you know, off to the side. So it was it

18
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 1: was good to be back in there with the guys.

19
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:39,599
Speaker 1: When Dave had you break down the walk thorough, what

20
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,559
Speaker 1: was what? What was your emotion there for that? It

21
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 1: was cool. It's it's cool. I mean I broke it

22
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 1: out before, but yeah, but it was cool, right, So

23
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 1: I broken out a couple of months ago beat again. Yeah,

24
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 1: but it was a good breakdown. I don't know have

25
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 1: any what did you say anything in particular or anything

26
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 1: funny or profound, and that I'm I'm excited to get

27
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 1: back out there with you guys, and you know, let's

28
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:02,319
Speaker 1: keep the ball rolling. So how much? Uh? They gave

29
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:04,320
Speaker 1: me four plays indeed at four places, and they gave

30
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 1: me four plays a team, which about half our team

31
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 1: reps and then I did all of Indie. You know,

32
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:10,560
Speaker 1: I did everything else everybody else did, So I'm full

33
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 1: go for the most part. We had pads on to day.

34
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 1: I was gonna be a pads but we didn't. So

35
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:16,680
Speaker 1: how do you feel like you can most up this

36
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 1: team for I don't know. I don't want to jump

37
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 1: that fire ahead, but I just, you know, I just

38
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 1: gotta take a day day by day and kind of

39
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 1: just get myself back up to where I was before

40
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 1: I got hurt. But you know, I'm just thinking the

41
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 1: next day I had so we describe, you know, what

42
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 1: the journey has been like though since since you got hurt,

43
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 1: and that you know maybe how lonely that gets when

44
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,279
Speaker 1: you're hanging out in the trainers room everybody's all doing stuff,

45
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: and no, it definitely gets a little lonely, but it

46
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:40,400
Speaker 1: was it was good. This guy, all the guys in

47
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 1: the locker room have my back, you know. They always

48
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 1: they try to you know, include me as much as

49
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 1: they could. But it was there was a roller coaster

50
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 1: of emotions. I ain't gonna lie, you know, I did.

51
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: At one point, after I had my last surgery was

52
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: which was number seven, they had to take the rout

53
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 1: out because I didn't infection my bone and put another

54
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: ride and I thought I wasn't gonna be able to

55
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 1: play this year. So at least not pit so, you know,

56
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,120
Speaker 1: midway at least at least you know, start my my

57
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 1: open my date up to that mid you know, week nine,

58
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: but seven altogether just the original one. So they put

59
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:08,799
Speaker 1: it right in two screws, dim tibia. And then I

60
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 1: got compartment syndrome. Yeah, show you this big scar. Compartment syndrome.

61
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: Say you slice your open that the swelling kind of

62
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 1: you know, they have a fashion out of me. It's

63
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 1: called just let the swelling do its thing and slowly

64
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 1: close you up. The night had to get a stet

65
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:23,959
Speaker 1: took four and then night to get a skin graph

66
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 1: which was number five or number six. It was number six,

67
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 1: and then they had to take my rod out and

68
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:32,920
Speaker 1: put another riding which was number seven the rod so

69
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 1: that might had an infection in my tibia. Oh February

70
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,799
Speaker 1: was it February? It's like six months ago, six and

71
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: a half months ago from this thread around now. Your

72
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 1: moments when you're going through all that stuff where you're

73
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 1: wondering whether it's worth doing all that, Definitely, those are

74
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,920
Speaker 1: those thoughts, is you know, just like any injury you have,

75
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter if it's this or something else. I think,

76
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 1: did you just have those? Those thoughts are just natural,

77
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: And you know I talked to Dr Lonnie, you know,

78
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 1: or sports psychologists a little bit and just stick. Yeah,

79
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: those that's normal. You know, It's just you know, it's

80
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 1: part of injury, and you know it's part of the

81
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 1: process of healing, and you know, I moving forward. So

82
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:09,239
Speaker 1: I just want to play football, and to be honest

83
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 1: with you, you you know, I just you know, just being

84
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: out there's fun. I don't know, I don't know, I

85
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 1: don't know else how to explain it. But I was

86
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 1: watching the last you know, up in the box. That's

87
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 1: couple a couple of weeks we're playing. I'm like, I

88
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: just want to be back out there again with the

89
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:22,919
Speaker 1: guys and just have fun. What other what other what

90
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: other job? But you hit people and you know, bankfually

91
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 1: do whatever you want. Huh. So it's a fun time. Though.

92
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 1: Were you willing to race Danuel today considering he was handicap?

93
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 1: I think I might get him since he's you know,

94
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 1: he's a little handicapped. But I think, Barnie, you even

95
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: playing field with this kind of like trusting your body

96
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: again in that situation, like being kind of but my

97
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: my rehab I did the last like three months. I've

98
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: been doing like our complete indie with me and the

99
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 1: trainers and the strength coaches, and you know, I've been

100
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 1: trying to beat my leg up and trying to throw

101
00:03:58,720 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 1: it into the ground as hard as I could, and

102
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: I just try to get you know, the most like

103
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: picture whatever, like the post realistic look I can with it.

104
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: So and now it's easy to be honest you, I

105
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 1: thought it was gonna be a lot more gas, you know,

106
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 1: a lot harder right now. But I know I feel

107
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 1: like I pushed myself, you know, the last three months

108
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 1: to kind of give me where I'm at. There's a

109
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,600
Speaker 1: light fie little bionic now like you can't damage any

110
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,559
Speaker 1: truck over these things. Oh yeah, it's yeah. It's literally

111
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: the whole length of a tibia, from the top to

112
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 1: the bottom. So would you have would you have been

113
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:30,160
Speaker 1: close to ready for the start of the season if

114
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 1: you hadn't had the infection? I believe so. If I

115
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 1: didn't have to have that that rod be put in there,

116
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,160
Speaker 1: I think I would have been mid training camp, if

117
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 1: not at the beginning. But I can't look at it

118
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 1: like that. You know, things some and things go and

119
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:43,359
Speaker 1: you got to you know, take them head on. And

120
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: I feel like I did that. I think of a

121
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,599
Speaker 1: step was just today just to be in uniform and

122
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,599
Speaker 1: then usually get that that damn red jersey off that things.

123
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 1: I felt like a quarterback and I wasn't so And

124
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 1: how much do you look forward to actually being in

125
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: a game again? How much is that kind of drying?

126
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 1: It's still a bit of ways ahead. I haven't really

127
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 1: thought about that. I just you know, I'm just trying

128
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 1: to make the team basically, you know, show them put

129
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,719
Speaker 1: my best foot forward the next three weeks and you know,

130
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: give them any reason not to be able to cut

131
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 1: me so
