But when 0:00:45.680 --> 0:00:47.280 he does get fit, when he is healthy and ready 0:00:47.280 --> 0:00:48.920 slug and how good can he be in this league? 0:00:49.159 --> 0:00:49.360 Yeah? 0:00:49.440 --> 0:00:52.519 No, I think Jappo has a lot of potential.

So I'm very excited for him to get 0:00:57.600 --> 0:01:00.160 back out there when he when he's healthy, because I 0:01:00.200 --> 0:01:02.160 think he can do a lot of good things and 0:01:02.200 --> 0:01:04.839 We've seen that before. When he's actually on the field, 0:01:04.880 --> 0:01:07.559 he definitely can produce. So as long as he get healthy, 0:01:07.600 --> 0:01:09.440 man definitely love to see him back out there. 0:01:09.880 --> 0:01:13.639 Brokewan John Harball was pretty specific about why they chose 0:01:13.720 --> 0:01:17.040 to travel when they did. How do you feel physically 0:01:17.120 --> 0:01:19.560 now that you've had a what a three night's sleep 0:01:19.560 --> 0:01:22.760 almost in London already? How do you feel your body reacting? 0:01:23.040 --> 0:01:25.200 Oh, very well, Like I've been going to sleep like 0:01:25.240 --> 0:01:29.440 I feel like you know UK, But I don't know 0:01:29.440 --> 0:01:31.959 how good that actually was. But I've been going to 0:01:31.959 --> 0:01:34.119 sleep like around like eleven or so, so it's kind 0:01:34.120 --> 0:01:36.080 of been like and waking up around like seven eight, 0:01:36.480 --> 0:01:39.080 like eight more so in the morning. So it's been 0:01:39.080 --> 0:01:41.440 pretty good for me. And I feel like I'm adjusted 0:01:41.720 --> 0:01:44.320 on the time zone. I think tonight will be the best, 0:01:44.360 --> 0:01:46.160 probably the best night of sleep, whereas I feel like 0:01:46.160 --> 0:01:49.360 I've gotten even more acclimated, so I'm excited about that. 0:01:49.680 --> 0:01:51.920 Did you play in London at all in your career? 0:01:52.080 --> 0:01:52.320 Yeah? 0:01:52.320 --> 0:01:55.720 I did back in twenty nineteen, Chicago versus Vegas. 0:01:55.760 --> 0:01:58.080 There was the Oakland in at that time. 0:01:59.000 --> 0:02:02.440 He has the best as the worst. 0:02:02.680 --> 0:02:06.120 I probably have the worst, and then I'm sure, some 0:02:06.160 --> 0:02:07.640 other people have the worst because I can get by 0:02:07.680 --> 0:02:08.040 with a couple. 0:02:08.040 --> 0:02:09.560 I can say a few words here and there. 0:02:09.600 --> 0:02:12.360 But I heard Tuck talk today, and Tuck actually a 0:02:12.400 --> 0:02:14.480 couple of the nice people over at the hotel. 0:02:14.840 --> 0:02:15.960 I was like, oh my god. 0:02:16.480 --> 0:02:18.400 They was like his was pretty good, you know what 0:02:18.400 --> 0:02:22.640 I mean?

And then you know, eliminating the 0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:49.560 hop as well trying to because they're definitely going to 0:03:49.600 --> 0:03:51.200 try to get him the ball. So it'll be a 0:03:51.200 --> 0:03:53.440 great match for us, a great, great challenge.

And yeah, and when you don't 0:04:14.320 --> 0:04:17.000 play your best, parody e laitue like you can lose. 0:04:17.360 --> 0:04:19.400 But I think being over here man is great. Just 0:04:19.440 --> 0:04:22.040 also being here for like the fans in the UK, Man, 0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:23.960 I think it's awesome being able to just you know, 0:04:24.040 --> 0:04:26.119 put on in front of them and like actually see 0:04:26.400 --> 0:04:29.680 you know, some good football and whatnot. So I'm excited 0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:31.440 at being able to do that, as well as just 0:04:31.480 --> 0:04:33.599 being away from home and like having a chance just 0:04:33.640 --> 0:04:37.200 to bond with the teammates outside of the facility where 0:04:37.240 --> 0:04:39.400 we're at the hotels spending hours together and when you 0:04:39.480 --> 0:04:41.880 get the normal even on a deeper level, playing card 0:04:41.880 --> 0:04:44.560 games and things of that nature. So I really enjoyed it, 0:04:44.560 --> 0:04:47.120 and I love just being in different places where people 0:04:47.120 --> 0:04:49.200 are some someone out of their comfort zone and it 0:04:49.240 --> 0:04:51.000 makes you kind of grow as a person as well 0:04:51.040 --> 0:04:51.520 as a team. 0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:55.039 On there was you know, there's a lot of talk 0:04:55.120 --> 0:04:57.719 lass for meat ak to the Jacksville is even about 0:04:57.720 --> 0:05:02.400 the turf have taught other you guys obviously play on grass. 0:05:02.720 --> 0:05:06.160 Curious if you prefer grass or turf or or if 0:05:06.160 --> 0:05:09.839 you're different. And then secondly, as you maybe have to 0:05:09.839 --> 0:05:12.800 make when you you know, you obviously go to turf fields. 0:05:12.920 --> 0:05:13.040 Uh. 0:05:15.200 --> 0:05:17.400 Yeah, No, That's definitely been a huge thing with the 0:05:17.440 --> 0:05:22.440 grass and turf, and personally I'd rather play on actual grass, 0:05:22.480 --> 0:05:24.640 but you know, hey, I'm not the one that making 0:05:24.680 --> 0:05:26.680 the decision. But at the end of the day, they 0:05:26.680 --> 0:05:29.680 can roll the ball out anywhere, concrete, basketball court or wherever. 0:05:29.839 --> 0:05:30.400 I'll be there. 0:05:33.520 --> 0:05:36.440 That was linebacker Brokwan Smith. Now we also had a 0:05:36.520 --> 0:05:39.960 chance to talk with wide receiver Odell Beckham junior. 0:05:43.040 --> 0:05:46.080 Are you are you of these London some players like 0:05:46.120 --> 0:05:46.920 get some players done? 0:05:46.920 --> 0:05:48.799 Where do you follow in these London trips? 0:05:50.200 --> 0:05:52.760 I've been over here a few times, so I definitely 0:05:52.760 --> 0:05:56.640 think London is a beautiful place. You know, don't really 0:05:56.680 --> 0:05:58.920 see much sun, but I'm used to that over here, 0:05:59.360 --> 0:06:03.479 and I think the trip is great. It's a great atmosphere. 0:06:03.480 --> 0:06:07.160 It is definitely difficult to get adjusted the times and 0:06:07.200 --> 0:06:10.520 all of that and find your rhythm, but I think 0:06:10.600 --> 0:06:12.520 life set up that way to where you have to 0:06:12.560 --> 0:06:14.760 learn how to adjust. And this is just one of 0:06:14.760 --> 0:06:18.000 those situations, you know, and coming up coming off of 0:06:18.040 --> 0:06:19.680 a tough loss, a team just has to find a 0:06:19.680 --> 0:06:21.599 way to be resilient and keep driving, knowing it's a 0:06:21.600 --> 0:06:24.719 long journey, long season, and this is just the situation 0:06:24.760 --> 0:06:27.360 where we have now. But definitely playing in a game 0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:30.440 in twenty sixteen, it was it was funny to be there. 0:06:30.480 --> 0:06:32.039 You know, it was the Giants versus the Rams, and 0:06:32.040 --> 0:06:35.520 I'm seeing Dolphins, jerseys, Jets, like everybody's wearing their team. 0:06:35.600 --> 0:06:37.720 But the energy is still amazing and I know that 0:06:37.760 --> 0:06:40.800 the fans over here are very excited about it. So 0:06:41.000 --> 0:06:45.359 it is a definite blessing and a unique opportunity and 0:06:45.440 --> 0:06:46.600 you know, just looking forward to it. 0:06:47.440 --> 0:06:50.520 You know, you're a kind of international star. 0:06:51.240 --> 0:06:53.640 It's just something that you hear that you kind. 0:06:53.560 --> 0:06:55.599 Of relish when you play these international games, and this 0:06:55.640 --> 0:06:57.920 is just a really game that you have a chance 0:06:58.000 --> 0:07:00.120 to be one of those people that helps grew of 0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:01.680 this game internationally. 0:07:02.160 --> 0:07:02.760 Absolutely. 0:07:03.320 --> 0:07:06.839 I remember when it was just kind of starting, I 0:07:06.839 --> 0:07:09.320 think twenty sixteen, and you know before that, there was 0:07:09.360 --> 0:07:11.480 like a long break between the games over in London, 0:07:11.920 --> 0:07:15.480 and I remember going to Germany and there I had 0:07:15.560 --> 0:07:18.680 like an event or something in the streets went absolutely crazy, 0:07:18.720 --> 0:07:21.640 and just to feel that in my heart was a 0:07:21.680 --> 0:07:22.400 crazy feeling. 0:07:22.440 --> 0:07:22.600 You know. 0:07:22.640 --> 0:07:26.720 I remember these kids followed me on bikes from miles peddling. 0:07:26.800 --> 0:07:27.280 I'm sweating. 0:07:27.280 --> 0:07:29.880 I tell the driver just pull over because like they've 0:07:29.880 --> 0:07:32.560 already did a Lance Armstrong race all the way to 0:07:32.600 --> 0:07:34.920 come to come meet.

So you know, anything 0:07:49.480 --> 0:07:51.440 that I could do to help, you know, these kids 0:07:51.440 --> 0:07:53.320 over here and you see them and you know they 0:07:53.440 --> 0:07:55.840 want to field the football is like and throw with them. 0:07:56.720 --> 0:07:59.000 It's a beautiful thing to see a game that could 0:07:59.040 --> 0:07:59.880 touch so many people. 0:08:00.640 --> 0:08:04.560 Okay, just kind of you get updated and the status 0:08:04.560 --> 0:08:07.640 of your ankling sort of you know, bothered me a 0:08:07.680 --> 0:08:09.880 little bit where. 0:08:09.640 --> 0:08:13.280 You're at that. Yeah, it's been tough. You know, I've 0:08:13.720 --> 0:08:14.640 excuse me my language. 0:08:14.720 --> 0:08:17.280 I've you know, worked my ass off for a long 0:08:17.400 --> 0:08:20.240 time since that Super Bowl and. 0:08:22.040 --> 0:08:24.200 Just to have like a small small. 0:08:24.720 --> 0:08:29.160 Setback which you you never saw coming and it's just unfortunate, 0:08:29.360 --> 0:08:32.480 you know. And and now kind of just getting readjusted 0:08:32.520 --> 0:08:36.040 and you know it it's behind you now, but you know, 0:08:36.120 --> 0:08:39.520 maybe sitting there and in hindsight thinking could have waited 0:08:39.520 --> 0:08:41.480 one more week, and you know, to just get your 0:08:41.480 --> 0:08:43.320 feet back underneath you. It's a blessing to be able 0:08:43.320 --> 0:08:46.720 to be out on the field, but it never feels 0:08:46.720 --> 0:08:50.760 good when you're when you're not at your very very best. So, uh, 0:08:50.800 --> 0:08:52.520 I feel much better this week, even though there was 0:08:52.600 --> 0:08:55.280 a lot of traveling.

But you know, 0:09:01.240 --> 0:09:06.240 there's no time for excuses or putting blame here there. 0:09:06.280 --> 0:09:07.720 You know, I'm a man. I take my wings with 0:09:07.720 --> 0:09:11.000 my losses, and I just gotta come out and just 0:09:11.040 --> 0:09:13.040 be better, you know, playing and simple and do whatever 0:09:13.040 --> 0:09:15.600 I can to help this team win, starting from my 0:09:15.720 --> 0:09:18.640 energy day to day to day. A lot of things 0:09:18.640 --> 0:09:21.719 that I feel like I could just do better, and 0:09:21.960 --> 0:09:24.000 I just got to accept that challenge, embrace it and 0:09:25.440 --> 0:09:28.280 be exactly who I know I am and just follow up. 0:09:28.280 --> 0:09:31.560 There was a lot made about the turf, your official 0:09:31.600 --> 0:09:35.040 turf last week. Where are the adjustments you have to be? 0:09:35.320 --> 0:09:40.200 You know, it's something that I'm sure people have seen 0:09:40.240 --> 0:09:42.200 me talk about on Twitter and this and that, and 0:09:42.200 --> 0:09:43.800 then you know, it sounds like I'm the one being 0:09:43.800 --> 0:09:46.840 a baby and complaining. Yet you see a lot of 0:09:46.840 --> 0:09:49.280 major injuries happen on turf. I mean, it's not even 0:09:50.440 --> 0:09:52.079 I don't know. I'll leave the dilemma up for the 0:09:52.120 --> 0:09:54.800 Twitter Warriors and all that, but it's just I mean, 0:09:54.880 --> 0:09:55.880 just look at the results. 0:09:55.960 --> 0:09:58.439 Look at how many major injuries. 0:09:58.040 --> 0:10:01.160 Have happened on it, and you know, God God willing 0:10:01.240 --> 0:10:04.120 like there's none this game. But it's just not a 0:10:04.160 --> 0:10:09.240 surface that's you know, I think great for players to 0:10:09.240 --> 0:10:13.120 play on. I think we have I think they make 0:10:13.240 --> 0:10:16.439 enough money to where you know, putting grass in stadiums 0:10:16.480 --> 0:10:18.360 is really not that big of a thing. 0:10:18.400 --> 0:10:19.760 I think it's not hard to keep up with. 0:10:21.000 --> 0:10:23.920 And I just feel like if we're talking about the 0:10:23.960 --> 0:10:27.640 safety of players, I think grass would be a better 0:10:27.679 --> 0:10:31.080 surface area for them. But again, like I say, life 0:10:31.120 --> 0:10:33.760 throws the curve balls. You just got to adjust, and 0:10:33.840 --> 0:10:37.200 turf is what we're playing on this weekend. It is 0:10:37.200 --> 0:10:39.640 what it is. It's not really up to us. But 0:10:40.240 --> 0:10:42.840 I just think that I think that there's a solution 0:10:44.080 --> 0:10:47.360 whatever it is. I hope that one day they they 0:10:48.040 --> 0:10:49.440 figured that out. 0:10:49.840 --> 0:10:52.000 I know, you have a certain expectations just as far 0:10:52.040 --> 0:10:55.240 as production that you expect out of yourself, just on 0:10:55.400 --> 0:10:56.600 a production level. 0:10:56.920 --> 0:10:59.960 How tough has it been for these first five games? 0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:02.079 Literally it's been tough. 0:11:02.760 --> 0:11:05.360 Uh, you know, just just finding a way to feel 0:11:05.360 --> 0:11:09.079 like you can help the team. And again that's why 0:11:09.080 --> 0:11:12.679 I say, personally, I think that it starts within yourself. 0:11:12.760 --> 0:11:18.960 Your energy and the way that you internalize, process and 0:11:19.640 --> 0:11:21.679 analyze the situation and what you can bring to it 0:11:21.800 --> 0:11:24.520 daily I think will affect the outcome. And that's where 0:11:25.160 --> 0:11:27.080 you know, I was doing such a great job early 0:11:27.120 --> 0:11:29.360 on and you know, hadn't been thrown many tests like 0:11:29.440 --> 0:11:31.160 leading up the training camp and all this, and then 0:11:31.559 --> 0:11:35.120 things happen and I feel like I said, my fail. 0:11:35.000 --> 0:11:35.920 The test God gave me. 0:11:36.480 --> 0:11:39.000 And realizing that is a lot of it's a step 0:11:39.000 --> 0:11:41.079 of growth and just to be able to go past 0:11:41.120 --> 0:11:45.880 that and to now embrace this new challenge and find 0:11:45.880 --> 0:11:52.600 a way to be productive with whatever opportunities that I 0:11:52.640 --> 0:11:56.720 do have. That's just the bottom line. You know, make 0:11:56.720 --> 0:11:58.319 the most of whatever you get. 0:11:58.600 --> 0:12:01.599 Odell, your last great game was the Super Bowl for 0:12:01.760 --> 0:12:05.040 the injury, and obviously that's the biggest stage. But the 0:12:05.080 --> 0:12:07.240 international stage is you watch all the meeting that's out 0:12:07.240 --> 0:12:10.240 of here practice, the international stage is growing. Could this 0:12:10.320 --> 0:12:12.560 be a game for you that helps you to feel like, yes, 0:12:12.640 --> 0:12:13.560 you are back up track. 0:12:14.280 --> 0:12:18.520 Absolutely, And if it wasn't in London, just having a 0:12:18.520 --> 0:12:20.400 great game, you always feel like you'll be back on track. 0:12:20.440 --> 0:12:25.200 But I'll never forget. You know, these words that coach 0:12:25.280 --> 0:12:27.600 McVeigh had said to me. He was just talking about 0:12:27.640 --> 0:12:31.679 why he doesn't think that I performed well and Cleveland 0:12:31.760 --> 0:12:34.200 or here or there. He was just saying that something 0:12:34.240 --> 0:12:39.040 about pressure and something about the biggest stage, it drives. 0:12:38.640 --> 0:12:41.679 Me even more. And it's not like an attention thing. 0:12:41.720 --> 0:12:46.040 It's like I just it's like I enjoy the pressure 0:12:46.120 --> 0:12:48.280 more than when it just feels like a mundane even 0:12:48.280 --> 0:12:50.120 though such a blessing to be playing at whatever time. 0:12:50.160 --> 0:12:53.840 But he thinks that the bigger the stage, the more 0:12:53.880 --> 0:12:57.720 you want to shine. And I can understand that. And 0:12:57.920 --> 0:13:00.280 I've just been, you know, sitting in my room while 0:13:00.280 --> 0:13:02.640 I'm trying to sleep, you know, time zone is definitely 0:13:02.960 --> 0:13:04.480 a bit of a thing, just laying in my bed 0:13:04.480 --> 0:13:07.280 and I've just been thinking about it. And how how 0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:09.320 can I get back on track? How can I be 0:13:10.120 --> 0:13:12.080 the person that I know that I'm capable of being. 0:13:13.440 --> 0:13:16.560 And I would absolutely love for that to start this Sunday, 0:13:17.760 --> 0:13:20.640 you know, knowing that again, it's a long journey, long season, 0:13:20.679 --> 0:13:24.480 and there's so many opportunities for us to take advantage of. 0:13:24.520 --> 0:13:28.240 So I'm looking forward to it and praying that you know, 0:13:28.840 --> 0:13:30.560 this is exactly what I would hope it would. 0:13:30.320 --> 0:13:32.080 Be like one of those lines like, how would you 0:13:32.080 --> 0:13:35.479 describe your optimism? You know, I'm sure you're very optimistic 0:13:35.480 --> 0:13:38.000 about the ass in history for the season. 0:13:38.040 --> 0:13:39.120 How would you kind of describe the. 0:13:39.040 --> 0:13:42.640 Optimism that you have about that abilities break out again? 0:13:42.720 --> 0:13:43.000 For sure? 0:13:43.720 --> 0:13:43.840 Uh? 0:13:44.640 --> 0:13:47.120 Again, I think that's where you know, like I say, 0:13:47.200 --> 0:13:48.760 I feel like I failed the test. I feel like 0:13:48.760 --> 0:13:52.360 I had all these great positive talks and then you know, 0:13:52.400 --> 0:13:56.720 when something hits, it's hard to like stay along those lines. 0:13:56.720 --> 0:13:58.120 You can get bumped off course and now you just 0:13:58.160 --> 0:14:00.720 got to get back on track. But it's a long season. 0:14:01.120 --> 0:14:04.600 I think was it the nineteen seventy three Dolphins were 0:14:04.600 --> 0:14:07.160 the only team to ever have a perfect season and 0:14:07.200 --> 0:14:10.800 win a Super Bowl. Other than that, you know, there's 0:14:10.840 --> 0:14:14.480 been fifty something super Bowls or more. However, many more, 0:14:16.240 --> 0:14:18.079 and it's a long season. It's about catching fire when 0:14:18.080 --> 0:14:20.280 you're supposed to. It's about everything coming together at the 0:14:20.320 --> 0:14:24.240 right time. So you do have to be optimistic about 0:14:24.400 --> 0:14:27.120 the season. And that's where I'm trying to stay in 0:14:27.120 --> 0:14:31.280 that mindset of you know, there's a lot of opportunities. 0:14:31.320 --> 0:14:32.920 You know, no team won a Super Bowl in week 0:14:32.960 --> 0:14:36.440 five or six, But it is about finding your way 0:14:36.560 --> 0:14:38.600 to that perfect balance as a team and finding your 0:14:38.640 --> 0:14:40.760 identity and what is going to work for you for 0:14:40.800 --> 0:14:41.200 the season. 0:14:41.240 --> 0:14:43.160 So I'm very optimistic about it. 0:14:43.720 --> 0:14:47.560 I'm going to keep continuing to preach positivity over myself, 0:14:47.600 --> 0:14:51.720 over my teammates, you know, and be accountable for my 0:14:51.880 --> 0:14:54.960 energy and let that you know, run through the zen. 0:14:56.120 --> 0:14:58.080 As one of the veteran leaders of this team. However, 0:14:58.160 --> 0:15:02.040 you see eyes and locker and all that respond to 0:15:02.440 --> 0:15:04.480 you know, a tough loss followed by you know, a 0:15:04.520 --> 0:15:06.680 long trip and kind of tough circumstances. 0:15:07.480 --> 0:15:09.080 I think it was one of those games. 0:15:10.760 --> 0:15:14.240 You know, of course, everybody was pissed, like nobody wanted 0:15:14.280 --> 0:15:18.480 to lose that game, But just to know that there's 0:15:18.480 --> 0:15:20.560 so much going on with a short it feels like 0:15:20.560 --> 0:15:23.560 a short week of travel. Uh, this and that, like 0:15:23.600 --> 0:15:24.960 you just it's one of those ones you got to 0:15:24.960 --> 0:15:26.640 put behind you. And if you would have won and 0:15:26.680 --> 0:15:28.240 it would have been ugly, it still would have been 0:15:28.280 --> 0:15:30.760 like we you know, so worried about the next game. 0:15:31.880 --> 0:15:34.200 Just got to continue to press forward. So I think 0:15:34.200 --> 0:15:38.480 the energy has been good knowing you know, you got 0:15:38.520 --> 0:15:39.840 to take the good with the bad, and that was 0:15:39.920 --> 0:15:42.320 just you know, part of the bad. So continue to 0:15:42.360 --> 0:15:44.400 truck forward, uh and keep it moving. 0:15:44.760 --> 0:15:48.560 But sorry, how's yours? 0:15:49.040 --> 0:15:52.160 You took out? You took taking the mix? 0:15:54.080 --> 0:15:56.600 How's was a little cocascination? 0:15:56.840 --> 0:15:57.040 Oh? 0:15:57.200 --> 0:15:59.080 Man, I can't do it right now. I'm a little tired, 0:15:59.120 --> 0:16:05.240 but I definitely fish and chips. 0:16:06.520 --> 0:16:08.680 Maybe outside of here, I'll give you a little bit 0:16:08.720 --> 0:16:09.520 of a British accent. 0:16:10.480 --> 0:16:10.800 Adell. 0:16:10.840 --> 0:16:12.840 You said you feel like you failed the test, but. 0:16:16.440 --> 0:16:18.240 I guess you could said I didn't fail because I 0:16:18.360 --> 0:16:20.680 realized that there was a potential that I did feel it. 0:16:20.760 --> 0:16:22.800 So that's you know, a little bit of winning itself. 0:16:22.840 --> 0:16:25.040 But just to me, like I was saying, I was 0:16:25.200 --> 0:16:29.480 in such a positive mindset and it was because you know, 0:16:29.560 --> 0:16:31.720 nothing had really went wrong and there was no setback, 0:16:31.760 --> 0:16:34.920 so there was no you know, feel like poor performance 0:16:35.000 --> 0:16:37.120 or anything going leading up in the camp, and then 0:16:37.200 --> 0:16:39.240 you know, just some little things start to happen and 0:16:39.960 --> 0:16:41.800 you get into a mindset where I don't feel like 0:16:41.840 --> 0:16:44.800 I was as positive about looking at things that may 0:16:44.840 --> 0:16:47.440 not have been positive and looking at them as negative. 0:16:47.480 --> 0:16:50.160 So that's where I feel in my heart, I failed 0:16:50.160 --> 0:16:53.680 the test of just being able to take the good 0:16:53.680 --> 0:16:55.760 with the bad and to me to be able to 0:16:55.760 --> 0:16:57.520 look at it now, be able to smile at it 0:16:57.560 --> 0:16:59.240 and be like, Okay, well, now I know for the 0:16:59.280 --> 0:17:02.200 next time that it lets pop up, how I can 0:17:02.200 --> 0:17:04.879 go about things, how I can control my own energy, 0:17:04.920 --> 0:17:08.320 how I can protect my piece. That's where I feel 0:17:08.320 --> 0:17:10.840 like I said, I failed to test, you know, not 0:17:11.000 --> 0:17:13.120 like I got completely off track and you know, went 0:17:13.160 --> 0:17:15.080 down the wrong way, but just like a little bumped 0:17:15.080 --> 0:17:17.399 off track and just you know, sometimes you need that 0:17:17.440 --> 0:17:20.120 reminder in life of which way to go in which 0:17:20.160 --> 0:17:21.960 direction that God's trying to lead you. 0:17:25.400 --> 0:17:28.040 That was wide receiver Odell Beckham Junior. Now, this week 0:17:28.119 --> 0:17:31.159 is also really big for outside linebacker David Ajabo. He 0:17:31.240 --> 0:17:34.280 grew up in Scotland, so not too far away from here, 0:17:34.640 --> 0:17:37.719 and this week is a bit of a homecoming for him. Now, 0:17:37.760 --> 0:17:40.560 of course it's not the homecoming he envisioned, considering that 0:17:40.600 --> 0:17:43.440 he is currently on injured reserve, but still this is 0:17:43.480 --> 0:17:45.240 a big moment for him and he talked about that 0:17:45.560 --> 0:17:46.520 with the media today. 0:17:49.119 --> 0:17:53.760 Hey guys, you know, blessed me back home, blessing to 0:17:53.800 --> 0:17:57.080 be here, very close to my heart and I just 0:17:57.080 --> 0:17:59.040 want to send man.

Man, Uh, you know, 0:18:13.080 --> 0:18:15.560 no time till right now. And uh, it's working hard 0:18:15.560 --> 0:18:16.960 to get back out there. 0:18:18.520 --> 0:18:18.720 Either. 0:18:18.760 --> 0:18:21.479
