1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,920
Speaker 1: How are you feeling. How how was everything that you

2
00:00:01,960 --> 00:00:06,360
Speaker 1: went through with uh with the COVID. Oh yeah, it

3
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:10,160
Speaker 1: was definitely a different experience. Uh. You know what I

4
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:13,520
Speaker 1: never really experienced before. It was weird. Uh, you know,

5
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 1: but you know, just like everything else, we got through

6
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:18,160
Speaker 1: it and I feel great now. I'm glad. I'm ready

7
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:22,439
Speaker 1: to roll. Were you sick at all and you have symptoms? Yeah,

8
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 1: I mean I went through like the standard sickness and

9
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 1: all that, but uh, you know, at the end of

10
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 1: the day, I just kind of, you know, got over it,

11
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 1: and uh, I feel good as new. And last thing,

12
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:35,320
Speaker 1: what did you do during those two weeks? I mean

13
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 1: you're kind of hold up right? Yeah, man, just uh

14
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:43,199
Speaker 1: just quarantine self isolated. Didn't really do much. Man, I

15
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 1: don't have any crazy story for you. I think the

16
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 1: craziest story I could gave you is like I went

17
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 1: on a drive or something just to get anahouse. Yeah,

18
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 1: it's around the house, you know. Uh, kept up with it.

19
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 1: I think the most I was able to do is,

20
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 1: you know, go on the Zoom meetings. H So you

21
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:05,679
Speaker 1: know that took up a lot of time during the day,

22
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 1: so that was good. Uh. But other than that, just

23
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 1: you know, did what I could here as far as like,

24
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 1: you know, working out and trying to stay in shape

25
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 1: in the house and uh just kind of you know,

26
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 1: watched a lot of TV. And yeah, that's kind of

27
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:25,040
Speaker 1: a unfortunate way for your three thousand snap streak or

28
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: whatever it was snaps streak to be stolen from. Yeah,

29
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,319
Speaker 1: uh yeah, were you're frustrated as a guy who likes

30
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 1: to play every snap? Is that frustrating? Of course? Of course, Um,

31
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 1: you know that's something being reliable is one of the

32
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 1: things that I've always you know, wanted to do and

33
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 1: you know, I always wanted to excel in uh you know,

34
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 1: just having the coaches and the team, you know, know

35
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 1: that they can rely on me for whatever it is.

36
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 1: You know, it's something that I've always taken a lot

37
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: of pride in. But you know, things happen, you know,

38
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 1: life happens, and you know, I mean, what what are

39
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 1: what are we going to do at this point? You know?

40
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: So uh yeah, I was definitely, you know, definitely upset.

41
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 1: It means a lot to me, but I'm good. Take

42
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:07,279
Speaker 1: me back to this past Sunday. I guess you're standing

43
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 1: on the sideline, probably chomping at the BID. I don't

44
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 1: know if you thought you would play earlier or if

45
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: you knew you were only going to go in and

46
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 1: an emergency, But what was your role gonna be this

47
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: past Sunday? And then when Zeitler gets hurt, you have

48
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 1: to flip the on switch right away. I guess, well,

49
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: the training stuff, you know, was was being very careful

50
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 1: with me, you know, especially dealing with the virus that

51
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 1: we know we know a little about. Um. So they

52
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 1: they you know, they told me from the union that

53
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:36,640
Speaker 1: they were going to ease me into this, you know

54
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:41,079
Speaker 1: they uh they you know, they didn't know exactly, you know,

55
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 1: how much it was gonna be what I was gonna play,

56
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 1: like how much. But at the end of the day here,

57
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 1: like we gotta remember like this is a team. This

58
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 1: is this is about the team, not about Will Hernandez.

59
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: You know, so if I wasn't ready to go, um,

60
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 1: you know, coming back from this, you know, like, well

61
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: what's best for the team here? You know, we just

62
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 1: got to remember that. And uh, you know, coming back

63
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 1: from two weeks of doing nothing, you know, and not

64
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 1: by choice, but doing nothing, uh, you know it kind

65
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 1: of you know, you gotta kind of think about you know,

66
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:12,639
Speaker 1: is you ready to just get back in there and

67
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 1: you know, and play. But I was always ready to go.

68
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:18,919
Speaker 1: I was always ready to play. I wanted to play. Obviously,

69
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,360
Speaker 1: you guys know me by now. But I mean, at

70
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 1: the end of the day, I'm just gonna follow you know,

71
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 1: what the coaches tell me, what the medical stats that

72
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:31,239
Speaker 1: says we'll take a couple more. Tom Cannadan, Hey, well

73
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: glad you're feeling better. Um did they ever figure out

74
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: how you got it? Oh? Come on, man, nobody knows how.

75
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 1: Nobody knows how you It could have been a thousand

76
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 1: different ways. You know, we we can't figure We can't

77
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 1: figure out. I have I have no idea how, you know,

78
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 1: I just did you know? They say you can get

79
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 1: it just by breathing, So there you go. I don't know.

80
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 1: I wouldn't I wouldn't know what to tell, you know. Okay.

81
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: The other question I at is I assume you've had

82
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 1: a ton of coaches in your career. I mean, when

83
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: you're looking to coach, judge what stands out about him?

84
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: M M. You know, this is definitely a coach that

85
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 1: you know wants to win and puts the team first

86
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,599
Speaker 1: and always does what's best for everybody. Um, you know,

87
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: so you can definitely get behind a guy like that. Um,

88
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 1: you know, I really like how he's very attention to detail.

89
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 1: You know, I'm pretty sure everybody has seen by now,

90
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:32,359
Speaker 1: you know. He he's very very hard on the big things,

91
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 1: on the main things, and also the little things just

92
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 1: as much. So you know, I think that's that's what

93
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: it takes, um exactly too to be a great team

94
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 1: and have a great team. And that's something you know,

95
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 1: it's always great having somebody that can always, you know,

96
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 1: remind you of those little things because sometimes you know,

97
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,280
Speaker 1: they just you get caught up in all this and

98
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,039
Speaker 1: it's always great to have a coach that you know,

99
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 1: can see all these little things consistently and uh yeah, okay,

100
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 1: our stables. Hey, well, good to see your you're feeling better. Um,

101
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 1: did you realize I mean, I know, watching it when

102
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 1: when Zeiteler came out, how did you know was your

103
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 1: turn to go? I mean, did you see him coming

104
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,919
Speaker 1: out and new right away it was time for you

105
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 1: to run in? And what was that like? What were

106
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 1: the emotions involved? And you know, I know you're going

107
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 1: to do a job, but I gotta imagine the anticipation

108
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 1: was kind of building up the entire time. Yeah, I mean,

109
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 1: uh well, I mean I knew that like if if

110
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 1: if a guard were to go down, I'm I'm going in,

111
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 1: um so, I mean I just you know, I saw

112
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,919
Speaker 1: him going out, and obviously, yeah, you know, I was

113
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: excited to get back in there for after so long,

114
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:43,159
Speaker 1: and definitely, you know, it's it's horrible seeing one of

115
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: your your boys, you know, come out of the game

116
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 1: like that. But uh yeah, I mean when when my

117
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:50,160
Speaker 1: number was called, you know, I was, I was ready

118
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 1: to go, and definitely, uh, you know, definitely was excited

119
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 1: to get back in there with the guys. Did you

120
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: see him coming out or and new to go right

121
00:05:57,760 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 1: in or did someone have to tell you to get

122
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: get in there. I didn't see it right away right away,

123
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 1: like as soon as it happened. But you know, as

124
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:08,280
Speaker 1: soon as he started coming off, you know, everybody, you know,

125
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: that's one thing we do a really good job of.

126
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: Everybody's always you know, just hollering out like hey we

127
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:14,480
Speaker 1: need to guard, we need a guarden. As soon as

128
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 1: I heard the first guard, you know, I knew I

129
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 1: was going in, So yeah, thanks last one here. Tom

130
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 1: rock Well, I would think that the only thing that's more, uh,

131
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 1: that's scarier than getting that positive test result a couple

132
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 1: of weeks back, is wondering if you're going to be

133
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 1: the guy that kind of topples the whole house of

134
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: cards there that that the team is built keeping this

135
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 1: virus away from everybody. How nerve wracking wasn't waiting for

136
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 1: other people's negatives to come back, and uh, you know

137
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 1: what what was that period like for you? Yeah? You know,

138
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously that's one thing that you don't you know,

139
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 1: you're you're already sucks enough that you that you get

140
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 1: it as an individual, but to know that you infected

141
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 1: other people, you know, that's probably the worst feeling about it.

142
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 1: And that's something I definitely didn't want to happen, and

143
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:01,799
Speaker 1: I'm glad it didn't
