How does it 8 00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:21,040 Speaker 1: complicate your search and your decision to decide to resign 9 00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:24,360 Speaker 1: here when you know there's a lot of unknowns going 10 00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:26,040 Speaker 1: forward here for you? 11 00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:29,120 Speaker 3: It does, It does complicate a lot of things, you know, 12 00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:31,680 Speaker 3: not being able to put film out there, you know, 13 00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:33,600 Speaker 3: I think I only had twelve plays last year, so 14 00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:37,559 Speaker 3: just a lot of question marks around around that and 15 00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:41,640 Speaker 3: the recovery process. But you know, obviously being being here 16 00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,120 Speaker 3: with the Giants the whole season and then them seeing 17 00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:46,400 Speaker 3: me recover and get back to to where it was 18 00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:48,919 Speaker 3: by the end of the season, you know, I think 19 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:50,800 Speaker 3: that answered a lot of the questions that they had had, 20 00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:54,440 Speaker 3: so that kind of narrowed down down some of the 21 00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:55,720 Speaker 3: the options by the end of it. 22 00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:59,480 Speaker 1: Just just to follow up on that, just being with 23 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,600 Speaker 1: the same people that have been a part of your rehab, 24 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,399 Speaker 1: does that become a big factor as well when you're 25 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 1: going through something like this, and knowing that if you 26 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 1: do go elsewhere now all of a sudden you're going 27 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:13,120 Speaker 1: into a new training staff and new medical staff. Or 28 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,480 Speaker 1: does that not really be It's not not really at 29 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 1: the top of the list, No. 30 00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:19,040 Speaker 3: For sure. Yeah, I think you know, it plays a 31 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,920 Speaker 3: huge role.
