1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, Um, when we're still looking at it's very r 2 00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:06,560 Speaker 1: what the u c O looks like, how it is. 3 00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:08,840 Speaker 1: I've obviously got an m R I pictures, but I 4 00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:10,240 Speaker 1: have to go back in the day and get more 5 00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:14,600 Speaker 1: still going on, but you know, there's literally nothing that 6 00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:20,000 Speaker 1: I know for sure anything's on the table, including count 7 00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:23,960 Speaker 1: of times. Yeah, there's you know, different options in terms 8 00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:29,720 Speaker 1: of letting it recover um, surgery, um, all these different 9 00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:34,080 Speaker 1: types of surgeries repair versus reconstructure. Um. So we said 10 00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:38,080 Speaker 1: definite inclusion about in that. So um we still after 11 00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:40,240 Speaker 1: we get a put more pictures on m R I 12 00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:44,400 Speaker 1: and whatnot, and you get some more opinions. But working 13 00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:46,920 Speaker 1: with our medical team now and we're still trying to 14 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:51,919 Speaker 1: come to a conclusion on the points. Yeah, it's good, 15 00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:55,120 Speaker 1: um in terms of walking around and stuff, I don't 16 00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:58,240 Speaker 1: feel as much it's swollen. Um, But the minute I 17 00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:02,360 Speaker 1: go to movie, pick something up or whatever, it's definitely 18 00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:07,080 Speaker 1: pay out and just ns my arm um for the 19 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:12,200 Speaker 1: that um, so definitely uh sucks. How much should have 20 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 1: you know Instagram? How much of Sunday was the adrenaline 21 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 1: allowing you to even be out there? Yeah? I think 22 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,600 Speaker 1: obviously I played a big part in that. Um, you know, 23 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:25,039 Speaker 1: right when it happened, obviously my arm just I went numb, 24 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,920 Speaker 1: and um, I knew something was wrong. I didn't know 25 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 1: exactly why. I didn't know if it was like, you know, 26 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:33,319 Speaker 1: just a shot that I had taken, Um, just from 27 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:35,840 Speaker 1: the physical side of the things about football and all right, 28 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:37,640 Speaker 1: just let it, you know where off and then I'll 29 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:39,400 Speaker 1: be fine. But then it just kept going in the 30 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:45,960 Speaker 1: midt I tried throwing literally like I'm wrong, and so yeah, 31 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,280 Speaker 1: obviously the adrenaline and stuff I think helps in terms 32 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:49,760 Speaker 1: of allowing me to go back in the game and 33 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:53,200 Speaker 1: hand the ball off. Even that was you know, pretty painful, 34 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,960 Speaker 1: but um, just overall, you know, it just sucked that 35 00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 1: I wasn't able to throw. At last press conference Friday, 36 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 1: you talked about how how hard you leaned on faith 37 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 1: and family and not getting carried away and not getting 38 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:09,960 Speaker 1: too high and low. And does that all that being 39 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 1: put to the test now, Yeah, no doubt. I mean, look, 40 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 1: whatever I'm about to you know, face, um, in terms 41 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 1: of coming back through injury and what people are gonna 42 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 1: say and all that kind of stuff, that's definitely a 43 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,120 Speaker 1: test to you know, what I believe in and my 44 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 1: family Gason as well. So, um, you know, nothing changes 45 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 1: in terms of what I believe or who I am, 46 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:31,919 Speaker 1: And um, I feel like it will just be a 47 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,120 Speaker 1: good test to you know, what I say and what 48 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 1: I claim. You know. So it's gonna be Uh, it's 49 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,079 Speaker 1: gonna be good. And I'm excited for the good journey 50 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 1: and the road ahead whatever is to come. I'm just 51 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,640 Speaker 1: gonna keep my head down and grind away and um, 52 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 1: you know that God's gotta plan for all of this. 53 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:53,079 Speaker 1: After the funny how do you feel about the game 54 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,359 Speaker 1: with this kid? How the season look? Yeah, it's still 55 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 1: the same really, just in terms of, um, just the 56 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 1: sad this and the frustration of a man like that's 57 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 1: how we went out kind of mentality. Um, you know, 58 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:07,359 Speaker 1: it just sucks because of how good a team that 59 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,639 Speaker 1: would have and not really big at the showcase, everything 60 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,680 Speaker 1: that we had in terms of the offensive game. Um, 61 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 1: you know, it just it sucks. And I'm sad with 62 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,679 Speaker 1: you guys. Um because of all the work and in 63 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,960 Speaker 1: the games and the moments that we've had leading up 64 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 1: to that moment up to that game and then to 65 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:26,640 Speaker 1: go out like that, it just it sucks. And it's 66 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:28,240 Speaker 1: a shame for all the guys that have been here 67 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 1: for a while, um, and even the guys that just 68 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 1: got here. So this is what it is. We're gonna 69 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 1: learn from it and be stronger and would be ready 70 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 1: to make sure taking a process that sort of grief 71 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 1: and experience of the seas not any the way you 72 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 1: wanted to versus putting it aside and starting the grind. Yeah. Um, 73 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 1: I mean, there's definitely gotta do some time to reflect 74 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 1: and we're saying what we went through, why we went 75 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 1: through it, um, how can we be better and things 76 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 1: like that. But you know, also like the next challenge 77 00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 1: ahead of all, right, what can we do to to 78 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 1: win for next year and finish the whole thing and 79 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 1: do it the right way? Um? And I feel like 80 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 1: we did do that this year, Like we gotta learn 81 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 1: from this year and and we did so many great 82 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 1: things this year and it's just at the end some 83 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 1: things didn't line up, um, And I think some things 84 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 1: that were just out of our control, um, that we 85 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 1: have to live with sadly, but um man, we can 86 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,280 Speaker 1: we can look at this year and be like we 87 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:22,160 Speaker 1: understand what it looks like and what it takes to 88 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 1: to go and to get on a streak and get 89 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,719 Speaker 1: hot and and to win big games. So we'll definitely 90 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 1: learn from it. But you know, there's a lot of 91 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,160 Speaker 1: front of us in terms of you know, grinding and 92 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 1: getting better to be this team start. You say, again, 93 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:37,600 Speaker 1: what kind of case do you think you made this 94 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 1: year have to be this team started going in? Yeah, 95 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, for me, I just wanted to 96 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,280 Speaker 1: win at all costs, Ray win, the team needed meet, 97 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 1: um that we can against Miami. Obviously, for all the 98 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 1: games that I've played in and stuff, that was still 99 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,039 Speaker 1: my mindset was just to win and then let everything 100 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 1: else fall into place. So for me to claim or 101 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 1: say anything in terms of what's going to happen moving forward, 102 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,600 Speaker 1: that's out of my control. Um, I'm gonna do what 103 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:02,840 Speaker 1: I can. I get back healthy and be ready to 104 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:06,720 Speaker 1: compete come fall, and um, you know, I'm just ready 105 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 1: for whatever coach asked me from them and then I 106 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,360 Speaker 1: want talked about how you didn't need to be sad 107 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,840 Speaker 1: for what you didn't that they got there. What can 108 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 1: you say about the support of the Wackmow Yeah, Um, 109 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 1: I just I love these guys. I appreciate them. Um, 110 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 1: just their leadership and They've been through this, you know, 111 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 1: year after year after year, and um, for them to 112 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 1: you know, high respect for what I've done and the 113 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 1: way I've handled my stuff, Like, I appreciate that about them, 114 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 1: And I've learned so much from them.

And UM, I appreciate them 118 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 1: for that. They've got my back, and you know, you 119 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 1: can do all this talking and stuff, but it comes 120 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,040 Speaker 1: down to going out in the field and and doing 121 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 1: your thing and producing for the team and for the guys, 122 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 1: and so um, for them to have respect for what 123 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,720 Speaker 1: I've done, Like, I really appreciate that. It means a 124 00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 1: lot to me. So it doesn't get any better than 125 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 1: this locker room right here. Had any early conversations about 126 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 1: you and Kyle had any really conversations about We just 127 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:12,160 Speaker 1: sort of reflected about the season, um, yesterday, Um, and 128 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 1: it was really more about what I can do to 129 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,840 Speaker 1: get healthy and and what I have to do, you 130 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 1: know when I get back and a kind of stuff. 131 00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 1: But in terms of who's going to be a starter 132 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:25,120 Speaker 1: and who we're bringing in or any moves or anything 133 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 1: like that. Literally, like we didn't we didn't cover any 134 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:29,720 Speaker 1: of that, and honestly, I didn't want to hear about 135 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:33,040 Speaker 1: any anything. Um, I just wanted to focus on my 136 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:35,400 Speaker 1: recovery right now and what I have to do for 137 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 1: my arm. Moved forward and that was that. So I 138 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 1: brought you learned like other key stuffles from these last 139 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,280 Speaker 1: two days, like other guys that moved out through what 140 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 1: you did and what you have about you. Yeah. Um, 141 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,599 Speaker 1: it's just it's a unique situation just because it's really 142 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,040 Speaker 1: like a baseball injury. You know, with a lot of 143 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 1: baseball pitchers, they faced this kind of thing with the 144 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,720 Speaker 1: U c O. Um, you know guys that have this 145 00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:01,920 Speaker 1: problem in football, you know the quarterback situation. There hasn't 146 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:03,840 Speaker 1: been a lot of the cases with it, but you know, 147 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,480 Speaker 1: usually it's like a linebacker offensive linement and they can 148 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,480 Speaker 1: just brace it up and go play. But when you're throwing, um, 149 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:11,640 Speaker 1: it's a different situation. But you know, the way a 150 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:15,360 Speaker 1: quarterback throw is compared to a picture, two different things. Um, 151 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,840 Speaker 1: you know, it's similar but more violent as a baseball player. 152 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,080 Speaker 1: So you know they're saying, you know, the recovery process 153 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 1: could be a little bit faster as a quarterback. But um, definitely, 154 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 1: I've looked at guys that have have gone through this 155 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 1: kind of thing, and it's, uh, I'm just trying to 156 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,440 Speaker 1: find what's right because everyone's situation is a little different, 157 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 1: and I'm trying to find out which one is right 158 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 1: for myself. I'll tell you one more guy, I'm starting 159 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 1: to guess work that I'm reporting timeline out for six months? 160 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 1: Is it you're understanding if that improves to be accurate, 161 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 1: that would be six mice ready for football activities. There's 162 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:56,240 Speaker 1: that six months like, well, I think I've heard multiple things. Um, 163 00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 1: I think in that scenario that would be six months 164 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 1: you're ready to go. I mean I think in that 165 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 1: scenario they said, um, after three months you can start 166 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 1: throwing and getting getting into a throwing program and get 167 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 1: into a routine. Um, I think six months would be 168 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 1: like when you're allowed to just go and practice and 169 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 1: be a part of everything. Um. But that's that's a scenario. 170 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 1: But I definitely have some other options too, So definitely 171 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 1: gonna go through these m r I scans and make 172 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 1: a decision hopefully soon. Some optimism, I mean, it couldn't 173 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 1: be that pretty is true.

You know, 177 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:39,199 Speaker 1: I'll be ready come camping. Honestly, what matters to me 178 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 1: most is being able to play for the season, you know. 179 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:44,599 Speaker 1: So Um, if that's the case, then yeah, so be it. 180 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 1: But we'll see us some options. It's away and I'll 181 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:49,599 Speaker 1: make a find of decisions soon. A
