3
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:09,319
Speaker 1: thank you. I was just talking to James White about this.

4
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:11,440
Speaker 1: I mean, look, feel a fall in the year. Does

5
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:16,080
Speaker 1: that make it easier to go to practice today? Yeah, definitely. Uh,

6
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:18,280
Speaker 1: when you have to worry about the humidity the heat,

7
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:22,080
Speaker 1: obviously we know that humidian heat is gonna be uh,

8
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:24,480
Speaker 1: you know, good for especially with us going down to

9
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 1: Miami the second week of the season. But you know,

10
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 1: every once in a while when you get a nice

11
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:32,279
Speaker 1: school the day and makes practice go, I'm glad it's

12
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 1: a little smooth. Well drown a guy that you played

13
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:38,240
Speaker 1: against a bunch of times decided to retire over the weekend,

14
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 1: I'd be Andrew Luck. What did you think when you

15
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 1: heard that news? Well, obviously, you know, like everybody was

16
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 1: obviously a bit of a surprise. But anytime you see

17
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: a guy go up and talk about the rehab process

18
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 1: of just trying to always do things the right way,

19
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 1: about being hurt, being in pain all the time, and

20
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 1: you know, doing that basically for four or four to

21
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:08,040
Speaker 1: five years, it could took a toll, you know, it

22
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:11,960
Speaker 1: could took a toll on somebody's physical aspect of the

23
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 1: body and the mental aspect as well. And you can

24
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 1: just tell at this point, I mean, just from just

25
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 1: listening to his press conference that the game of football

26
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:22,960
Speaker 1: wasn't in fun from him anymore. And like you said,

27
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,399
Speaker 1: he just felt like he had to remove himself. And

28
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:30,679
Speaker 1: obviously for a guy to do that, it shows a

29
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 1: lot of courage. Obviously he said it was the toughest

30
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 1: thing that he ever had to do, the toughest decision

31
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 1: he ever had to make. But I mean, it just

32
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 1: shows courage that he did that for himself to get

33
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 1: the peace of mind that he needed to enjoy his

34
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 1: life and get back to, like I said, just enjoying

35
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: his life. One of the interesting layers to this story was,

36
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 1: obviously it came out in the media during their preseason game.

37
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 1: The crowd found out about it, and then they sort

38
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: of booed Andrew Luck as he left the field. As

39
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: a player. Well, what's your reaction to that. The crowd

40
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 1: have the right to boo if they're feeling let down

41
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: with the timing or whatever here. How does that Well,

42
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: I was just you know, obviously just said the player,

43
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 1: you're a little bit, you know, disappointed obviously in the

44
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:15,360
Speaker 1: crowds uh reaction. Um, obviously, we know the fans are

45
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 1: are great for the sport. That the reason why we're

46
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 1: able to you know, have the career that we want,

47
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 1: able to make the type of money that we make.

48
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 1: But um, at the end of the day, we had

49
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 1: to realize that, you know, we're people too. We're not

50
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:34,800
Speaker 1: just you know, entertainers and just um athletes. We're people

51
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 1: with feelings and UM, we're people that have emotions as

52
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 1: well and who have to figure out, you know, what's

53
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 1: best for them in life. And that's what Angel Luck did.

54
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: He did was best for him. And just a little disappointed,

55
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: you know that somebody who gave so much to that

56
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:57,079
Speaker 1: organization won so many games, went out there played hurt weekend.

57
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: Um that that's how they would, you know, take his retirement.

58
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 1: We were just playing a cut from Tom Brady this morning.

59
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: He was reflecting back on his rookie season and roster

60
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 1: cutdown day, and he's telling his agents he wants to

61
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,359
Speaker 1: buy ty Law's house, and his agent is sing, are

62
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,959
Speaker 1: you nuts? You might not be here tomorrow as roster

63
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 1: cut cut deadline day comes. Is there ever a point

64
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 1: in your career where you don't worry about this stuff.

65
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 1: You know, you you always were. I mean, obviously you

66
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 1: try to go out there and you know, play the bestball.

67
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: It's turn to try to mention that this spot, um

68
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 1: is as safe as possible. But you know, it's just

69
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: so much that can go in with with cuts trades. Um,

70
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 1: It's just you know, it's just a lot that can

71
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 1: always go into the fact. And I just feel like

72
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 1: if you're always having your mind and your mind set

73
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 1: that you're fighting for a job, usually it'll leave you

74
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: in a good position. But never ever take um being

75
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 1: on an NFL roster, being on the patient that should

76
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 1: have done it, because the moment could do that, Um,

77
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 1: it could be taken away from me. What would the

78
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: feeling in the locker room be like if Tom Brady

79
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 1: decided to retire today, Oh man, I mean, obviously we

80
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: would definitely be sad, and you know, I wouldn't say disappointed,

81
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 1: because when he's done for this organization, what he's done

82
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 1: for this team, UM, you can't be disappointed about that

83
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 1: at all. If he wanted to move on to go

84
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:30,480
Speaker 1: to the next chapter of his life. But we would

85
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: definitely be a sad of it because I mean a

86
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: lot of people don't realize, but how much we've enjoyed

87
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,159
Speaker 1: having Tom, you know, not just on the team, but

88
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 1: in the locker room. The interactions we had, being able

89
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 1: to sit down and and talk to him about his

90
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 1: experience as an NFL players, It's surreal. It's a moment

91
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 1: that you don't get, Like, how many times do you

92
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 1: really get to sit down and have months with the

93
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 1: best quarterback who ever played the game of football. So, um,

94
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 1: we would be sad, But I mean if he wanted

95
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,840
Speaker 1: to do that, um we would have to, you know,

96
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 1: obviously encourage him and cheer him all. But hopefully he

97
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:09,479
Speaker 1: doesn't do that for a while. Duran. Obviously, last week,

98
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 1: UM word broke that Patrick Chung is dealing with a

99
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,359
Speaker 1: legal issue off the field. I'm just wondering, as a teammate,

100
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 1: how do you react to that and deal with that

101
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: within the locker room. Well, I think the only way

102
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 1: is suitable to react is to show your support. Um,

103
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,280
Speaker 1: let him know that you're not going to obviously turn

104
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: your back on and you're gonna help him get through

105
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 1: his situation. And if he ever needs to talk or

106
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 1: need anything from me, you make yourself available. Um just

107
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 1: like the guys didn't me. I mean, um, I had

108
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 1: a situation and nobody turned it back on me. If

109
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 1: they did, everybody you know came to me and uh

110
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 1: made me feel great, like they the guys like really

111
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 1: rally behind me and they didn't made me feel like

112
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:56,160
Speaker 1: an outcast and did you know shut me out for

113
00:05:56,360 --> 00:06:00,919
Speaker 1: making a mistake. Uh. They they rallied behind me and

114
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 1: showed their support. And UM, I personally look forward to

115
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 1: doing the same for Patrick. And I can't you know

116
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 1: say how much Pat means to the team, and you

117
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: know how people are really just gonna rally behind them

118
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,520
