1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:05,520
Speaker 1: Hey, everyone, how's it going good? Um, just a little

2
00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:09,000
Speaker 1: quick opening statement. Obviously this Pascal days have been tough

3
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:12,640
Speaker 1: for everybody. Obviously, you know, our thoughts, thoughts and prayers

4
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 1: are with themar and his family. Sounds like he's definitely

5
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:17,720
Speaker 1: making some good progress. And you know, as a player,

6
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:19,880
Speaker 1: you know, we love this game and it's just tough

7
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 1: to see that happen. And we know that he loves

8
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 1: his game too. Got a chance to compete against him,

9
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 1: you know, a couple of times here, and just a

10
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 1: great guy and you can see all the support I'm

11
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:31,639
Speaker 1: around the world really just for the game of football

12
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 1: and for him his family. Um, so my thoughts and

13
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 1: prayers are with him. I think the power of prayer

14
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:41,319
Speaker 1: definitely showed. I'm gonna hope that he continues to make

15
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:45,560
Speaker 1: progress and all that. So definitely with him, and definitely

16
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 1: a tough tough week for everybody here, but a lot

17
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 1: of good conversation and we're all here for him and

18
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 1: his family. Son. How tough was it to come into

19
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 1: building yesterday with all going on? Nobody knew what was was happening. Nobody, Look,

20
00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 1: the game is gonna take place, he and start preparing

21
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: for must win game. Yeah, I think everything revolves around

22
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 1: you know, him and his family and making sure that

23
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:07,759
Speaker 1: he's okay. Um, that's what we're really worried about. And

24
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 1: obviously the game is the game, right But at the

25
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 1: end of the day, we're all here, you know, we

26
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 1: have a job to do, but really we're just concerned

27
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 1: about him, his family and I'm just trying to get

28
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,680
Speaker 1: updates and make sure that he's okay and be there

29
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:24,199
Speaker 1: for the bills and their organization as well. So definitely

30
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,919
Speaker 1: a lot of emotions and things like that running around

31
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: and to try and stay focused on the game is

32
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: it's hard. It's a hard thing to do, and that's

33
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 1: just one thing you have to do is focus on

34
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 1: each day and obviously send your prayers and also continue

35
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,399
Speaker 1: your routine as best you can. So it's definitely hard,

36
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 1: but everything revolves around you know him and you know,

37
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:47,320
Speaker 1: making sure that hopefully he's doing better and that he's okay.

38
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 1: How would you say that the practices have gone? Have

39
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 1: you been able to get through things and has the

40
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 1: routine of what goes on here every day kind of

41
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: help the process? Yeah? I think, you know, listening to

42
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 1: devn just there's been a lot of really good conversations

43
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 1: and it's been tough for everybody, players, coaches, you know,

44
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: you just think about him and his position and we

45
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,079
Speaker 1: all just want him to be okay. And at the

46
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 1: end of the day, it's all about conversations and coming

47
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: together and just not taking anything for granted. And that's

48
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 1: every day coming to work and try and have a

49
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: positive attitude and um, just coming together and praying and

50
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: doing all those things. So, um, you know, there's a game,

51
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:30,800
Speaker 1: you know, on our mind, but there's also a lot

52
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 1: bigger things than football itself. So um, we're definitely still

53
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:36,919
Speaker 1: feeling it, and we feel for him and his family

54
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 1: and all that, and I'm just trying to do everything

55
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: we can to prepare. But at the same time, um,

56
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 1: we're all we're all there for him. How does that

57
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 1: type of injury, you know, affect you from a mental standpoite, Like,

58
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 1: you know obviously that injuries can happen and they could

59
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,919
Speaker 1: be severe, But to see it happen in that sense,

60
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:55,919
Speaker 1: is that something that you and other players are kind

61
00:02:55,960 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: of reconciling. Yeah, I think it's It's definitely a tough

62
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: thing to see it. Right As a player, you just

63
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,640
Speaker 1: never want to see anybody get hurt and definitely not

64
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 1: like that and really just goes back to conversating and

65
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 1: coming together and just talking through things. And we have

66
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 1: a great medical team here and obviously they did there too,

67
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 1: and you know, in the hospital, on the field, everything,

68
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 1: so every situation you're in, there's a lot of support

69
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 1: around you, you know, whatever the injury is, and obviously

70
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 1: that's a tough one. So really just just trying to,

71
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 1: you know, play the game that we love and not

72
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 1: focus on anything too much, but it is definitely tough.

73
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 1: Motivation and emotion are so important in football, as you know,

74
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: how do you think the bills are gonna come at

75
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 1: you on Sunday? Are you concerned you might be facing

76
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 1: like a freight train here? Yeah? I think, like I

77
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 1: said earlier, it's all about tomorrow and his family and

78
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: obviously you know him being on their team, that's that's

79
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 1: a lot of motivation and just to play for him.

80
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 1: I mean, we're all playing for him, right, We all

81
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 1: want to be out there and compete, and that's what

82
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 1: he does when he's out there. I mean he's all

83
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: over all over the tape you see him making plays

84
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 1: and it's just tough to see, you know, that he's

85
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: not hurt so bad. But at the end of the day,

86
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 1: we got to go out there and compete and really

87
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: just honor him on both sides of the ball, and

88
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 1: obviously have a respect for the Bills and everything that

89
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: they've been through this past week. It's it's really tough. Obviously,

90
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 1: you know, we're not in their situation, but we're all

91
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: in this together, and I think it's important to realize

92
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 1: that football is a game that brings people together, and

93
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,039
Speaker 1: I think this is a great example of bringing not

94
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 1: only our teams together, but the whole the whole league,

95
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 1: the whole world, really the whole nation. So I think,

96
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 1: you know, it's really tough time, but you can see

97
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: all the support for him and his family and just

98
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 1: really hope that he just continues to get better. Mack.

99
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 1: You mentioned the sympathy that you have for the Bills

100
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 1: and their team as they're going through this. Do you

101
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 1: think going into a game against them, will it be

102
00:04:55,640 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 1: hard to work up the usual level of intensive for

103
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 1: a game understanding the way you feel about those guys

104
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 1: right now. Yeah, I think it's a big game, you know,

105
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,599
Speaker 1: and I'm at the end of the day, there's a

106
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,840
Speaker 1: lot of respect for the team we're going against, and

107
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,479
Speaker 1: obviously in the situation that they're in, it's just being

108
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 1: there for them, you know, however we can, and we've

109
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 1: done that all week, and I'm obviously on the game.

110
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: There's a lot of emotions flying. That's every game, but

111
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,479
Speaker 1: obviously this game very much so too. So I'm really

112
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:28,279
Speaker 1: just trying to accept all the emotions and just be

113
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:31,159
Speaker 1: there for their team and whatever we're gonna do and

114
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 1: all that. So and then when when the kickoff starts

115
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:35,719
Speaker 1: and you kind of just gotta go out there and

116
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: play and compete against a really good team. So it

117
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 1: all revolves around him and just being there for him

118
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 1: and whatever way we can. I'm not sure if I've

119
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 1: heard the march came into consciousness and supposedly that's the doctor.

120
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 1: What the score was in the game. Can you just

121
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: talk about the player's mentality. I mean, obviously he's gone

122
00:05:57,800 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: through this whole thing and that's his first question. Yeah,

123
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,039
Speaker 1: I think every update that we get, you know, in

124
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 1: the locker room, everyone's super excited to hear that each

125
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 1: time he's doing better, and we're all super excited, and um, honestly,

126
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 1: that's that's pretty wild. It's just you can tell that

127
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 1: he's a competitor, right, and that's the first thing that

128
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,479
Speaker 1: he's asking and all that, and I think that's that's

129
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 1: who we are as people. We love the game of football.

130
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: And obviously I'm just so glad that he's doing better

131
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,720
Speaker 1: and his family and hopefully can start talking with him

132
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 1: and doing all that stuff. So I'm really just him

133
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 1: and his family. Prayers to them, and I'm obviously he's

134
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,479
Speaker 1: a great competitor, and I hope he has a speedy

135
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 1: recovery here. But um, all thoughts and prayers are with

136
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:38,679
Speaker 1: him and his family, all right. Thanks
