1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,840
Speaker 1: What was this week like for you? Uh, it was

2
00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:05,560
Speaker 1: a long week. Obviously I didn't get to practice those

3
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:08,320
Speaker 1: two days, Um, but I was still in meeting. So

4
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:10,640
Speaker 1: I just try to stay locked in. Obviously I didn't

5
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:12,319
Speaker 1: earlier in the week. I didn't know really what was

6
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:14,680
Speaker 1: gonna happen, um as far as if I was gonna

7
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:16,439
Speaker 1: be able to play or not. But I just tried

8
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:20,760
Speaker 1: to stay locked in, locked in throughout the week. You

9
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:22,599
Speaker 1: used this to get out of practice down next week?

10
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 1: So what did you use these results to get out

11
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 1: of practice? Because it's too big of a risk man. Uh.

12
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 1: But now I just uh, like I said, I just

13
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 1: tried to stay locked in and UM, you know, just

14
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:36,839
Speaker 1: follow the follow whatever protocols that you know the NFL has.

15
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 1: What did you see on your pick sets? Uh? Well,

16
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 1: I just read the quarterback. Um I felt I went

17
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 1: for going out. Um, and I was kind of just

18
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 1: our eyes on the quarterback the whole time. Um, he

19
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 1: was looking it down. So just trust my trust my instincts,

20
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 1: and you know, I went and I made the play.

21
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 1: And what are you thinking after you catch the ball?

22
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: You see a bunch of greeting in front of you? Right? Yeah? Touchdown? Um?

23
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 1: Mom and tally every time I get the bars to

24
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 1: you know, get yards and try to get uh you know,

25
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 1: make a play, make a touchdown for our team. So um,

26
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 1: that was my my mindset through that play about the

27
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 1: other the other, uh, the second one. Like I said,

28
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 1: I just trust my instinct. So I actually told Brad

29
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 1: earlier in the game. They did the same thing. I

30
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 1: broke on it, but they actually threw a back shoulder

31
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 1: and I told him after that, I told him, I said,

32
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 1: if they do that again, I'm gonna beat there and

33
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna pick it. And they did the same thing,

34
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,399
Speaker 1: try to run a double move. Um pumped them and

35
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: then threw it the same way he pumped, and you know,

36
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 1: I made a play. So that's what happened. Was Jim. Now,

37
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 1: I don't think I saved them, but he was. He

38
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 1: was there anyways, he would either one of us would

39
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 1: have made the play. But I told him that I

40
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 1: had his back, um, and he knew that, and you

41
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 1: know I made sure that I uh you know, accomplished

42
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: that and I did have his back on that place.

43
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: It's just harder to focus on this team and get

44
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 1: ready to play give and what happened here from my

45
00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 1: college tod. Uh. Yeah, it's uh, that's an unfortunate um,

46
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 1: you know, uh you know event that's going on right now.

47
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 1: Um My prayers is up for you know, him and

48
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 1: his family and uh the one uh the person that

49
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 1: passed in their family too. Um So I don't really

50
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 1: have you know, much comment on it further than that. Savior.

51
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 1: Did having to be out of practice this week because

52
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 1: of the protocol give you second thoughts about not getting vaccinated?

53
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 1: You said, what you're not vaccinated? Right? So did having

54
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 1: to be out of the practice this week as part

55
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 1: of the protocol give you second thoughts about getting the vaccine? Uh?

56
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,639
Speaker 1: I think it's, you know, is everybody's choice. Everybody has reasons.

57
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: Um so I have my reasons. Everybody else has their reason. So, um,

58
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 1: you know that's what I think. If you, if I

59
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: could follow up, what were your you mentioned it? What

60
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 1: what are you What were your reasons for not getting it? U?

61
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: That's for it's that's you know, for me, um, you know,

62
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: not for anybody else. YEA three, Uh, you have three

63
00:02:56,280 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: rookies playing outside linebacker and Trent Harris from the practice

64
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: what I called up rot makes a big play. What

65
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: if you see it from him, and just what kind

66
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 1: of challenges that for three rookies at a position I

67
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:10,920
Speaker 1: think they've been you know, playing uh, playing the ass off. Um.

68
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,640
Speaker 1: You know, they come come to practice each and every day, Uh,

69
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: there in meetings locked in. UM. So you know, I

70
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: know they're gonna go out there and play hard each

71
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 1: and every time. And I'm not surprised when they make plays. Um,

72
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,119
Speaker 1: I'm not surprised to anybody on the defense makes place

73
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 1: because like I said, and like I said, before, we

74
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 1: go out there and execute. Um, we get to get

75
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: the job done. Um, and we just try to improve

76
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 1: with each and every practice, in each and every game.

77
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: So I was already able to play this game earlier

78
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 1: the week. Did you do think you we're gonna be Yeah?

79
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: I thought, Uh at first I was, like I said,

80
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: I wasn't sure. Um, at first I thought I wasn't

81
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: gonna be able to play, just because if I didn't

82
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 1: know how to really the rules were, um, but I

83
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 1: didn't know that. You know, I tested negative, So UM,

84
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 1: I wasn't. I wasn't quite sure. That's why I was

85
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 1: kind of a longer week for me because I was

86
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 1: in between you know, am I if I am I

87
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: gonna be up or am I not gonna be up?

88
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 1: So it was hard to balance that. But um, when

89
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: I figured out and found out that I could play

90
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 1: and I practiced on Friday, um I was. I was

91
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: good to go,
