Um. And Uh 10 00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:34,720 Speaker 1: it's kind of stabilized the joints, so the ligment is 11 00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:36,680 Speaker 1: not stressed. To give you an idea of just the 12 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:40,760 Speaker 1: timeline for that, um yeah, but UM, it's kind of 13 00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:42,800 Speaker 1: up in the air right now. UM. Just just going 14 00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:45,239 Speaker 1: take it how it is, um, and I'll be back 15 00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:49,640 Speaker 1: when I'm back. What did it something change?

So um just didn't just didn't get better. Um, 22 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:11,920 Speaker 1: and this is kind of a a safety thing for 23 00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 1: future wise. I'm getting this procedure done. Yeah, the last 24 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:31,160 Speaker 1: seek Um Yeah it's tough. Um, it was just it's tough. Um. 25 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,080 Speaker 1: I definitely I want to be out there with the team. 26 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 1: And UM, like I was having some success and we 27 00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 1: were doing things, good things on the football team, and um, 28 00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 1: just pretty much time in my control. M definitely wouldn't 29 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 1: didn't choose to be in this position. But um it's 30 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,520 Speaker 1: it's all part of a plan. And then I have 31 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,640 Speaker 1: the utmost faith in the path forward and UM, I 32 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 1: can't wait to this attack this process, um and get 33 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 1: back to the player I know I am, um and 34 00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 1: the player I know I would be for the team. 35 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:00,560 Speaker 1: Have they spoken to you yet a bad uh? The 36 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 1: option year? I think they guy to do that this 37 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:06,160 Speaker 1: off season. Man. Um that's I don't even thought about that. Um, 38 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 1: that's kind of the off season deal. Um, that will 39 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:13,280 Speaker 1: all get worked out in time. Petty good for training 40 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:17,919 Speaker 1: in Yeah yeah, Um, from the window they gave me 41 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,240 Speaker 1: out to be more than ready for training camp. So UM, 42 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:22,840 Speaker 1: like I said, just gonna tap the process. Um, and 43 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 1: uh the tag each day, UM, and just trying to 44 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,800 Speaker 1: get back as soon as possible, just to just to clarify, 45 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 1: just to make sure when you're a new guy, your 46 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 1: initial recommendation there wasn't a recommendation of surgery and you 47 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 1: decided to look through Yeah yeah, so, I mean it 48 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 1: was the all the pictures and everything. UM didn't point 49 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 1: to that at the beginning. Man. That was kind of 50 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 1: the two to four week diagnosis and then it all 51 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 1: depends on how I felt getting back. So um that 52 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 1: wasn't on the table initially. But just to be safe 53 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,919 Speaker 1: future wise and um for it to heal properly, UM, 54 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 1: we're gonna go ahead and do it. Just would you 55 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 1: be surprised if they didn't pick up your option? I 56 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 1: mean you assume you think they'll have a long term 57 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,080 Speaker 1: future here. Um that's out of my control. UM. We 58 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,639 Speaker 1: all know the business um of this of this uh 59 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 1: of this league, and UM I can only control I 60 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,960 Speaker 1: can control so UM that would be handled upstairs. Now. 61 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,079 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna focus on this rehab process and getting back. 62 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,800 Speaker 1: So UM whenever that time comes with me back on 63 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:21,800 Speaker 1: the field, UM, I could be myself and do what 64 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 1: I do It's been a rough couple of years waiting 65 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 1: wise around here. But when you look around and see 66 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 1: this team, do you still want to have a long 67 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:31,080 Speaker 1: term future here? Of course, UM, This there's a special place. UM. 68 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 1: There's a lot of history here and um that we 69 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 1: haven't we haven't lived up to the standard that's that's 70 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 1: held here. So UM, I want to be a part 71 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 1: of that turnaround. UM. I want to be a part 72 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 1: of the turnaround that's coming here. Man. Uh. Like I said, 73 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 1: it's out of my control, um, and we'll have to see, 74 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 1: but of course, UM I want to be here.
