1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,680
Speaker 1: Do you know what actually happened? Like it was? It

2
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:07,000
Speaker 1: was real weird. I mean I think I actually partially toured,

3
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:09,840
Speaker 1: probably like two players before that. I think I partially

4
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:13,080
Speaker 1: toured kind of got up and my knee did something funny.

5
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 1: I was like, just forget about it and keep on

6
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 1: pushing in. Uh. Yeah. The next play actually got blown dead,

7
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 1: which in hindsight I'm kind of happy about because I

8
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 1: had to. I was about to have to stick off

9
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 1: my left and like a hard cut. And the next

10
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 1: play I was literally just jogging and uh, I mean,

11
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 1: I'm sure you guys saw it. So it just slid

12
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:36,839
Speaker 1: on me in pop. So created quite sure about the

13
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:40,879
Speaker 1: turf here, Um, did you? Yeah? I mean, you know,

14
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 1: I've heard stuff about that, but I know they tested

15
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 1: it a couple of years back and said it was

16
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:47,839
Speaker 1: it was fine. I mean, I love playing on grass.

17
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 1: I know a lot of my teammates, we all love

18
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:51,559
Speaker 1: playing on grass. It is just a little bit more

19
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 1: forgiving than surface. Uh and at times you're fucking gets

20
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 1: stuck in the turf. So I think all around is

21
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 1: better own bodies to the own grass. But you know,

22
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,679
Speaker 1: I'm not in the decision the room and making that decision,

23
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 1: so shock where you went down. For us watching it,

24
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 1: it was like, what happens? Yeah exactly. I mean, like

25
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 1: I said, I was just jogging and you wouldn't think

26
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 1: anything would happen from there. But um, maybe I was

27
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:21,839
Speaker 1: compensating throughout the game for uh little lack of strength.

28
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:23,919
Speaker 1: I don't know what. It could be a number of things,

29
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:29,680
Speaker 1: but um, yeah, it's no fun, especially involved though, Like

30
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:31,399
Speaker 1: what what all are you doing? Because we see you

31
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,399
Speaker 1: out on the field, we see you on the bench. Yeah,

32
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: I mean just helping the guys out. I mean that

33
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 1: just because I'm going down, it doesn't mean I need

34
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 1: to have a cloud over my head and bring everybody

35
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 1: else down. I think, Um, it's big for me to,

36
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 1: you know, being one of the veteran guys in this

37
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 1: locker room to help the guys in any way I can,

38
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 1: whether that's helping them with route technique or just to

39
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: hype them up. You know, I'd like to be around

40
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 1: the guys. I was actually supposed to leave last week.

41
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 1: Could just come to the locked room, um, you know,

42
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 1: hype everybody up. I'm usually the guy that's on the

43
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 1: DJ uh operating all the music, so I was coming

44
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 1: to do that and I was just gonna go back

45
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 1: home and kick my knee up. Um, but I just

46
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: got into into it. So I was like, you know what,

47
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 1: I'm staying for the game and I'm not going up

48
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: in the box. I'm going down on the field and

49
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 1: because they won't let me. So, UM, thank you for that.
