  Speaker 1: Kind of feel like offense. Have you guys back today?

• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Man, you know what I'm saying. Uh, that knee was.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: Biting on me, so had Hey, I'm just glad we
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: got we came out victorious right there.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: What about you know, this is the third game when
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: you drove this.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, what about his Well, you know, obviously everybody's gonna
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: put the heat on Geno cause he's the quarterback and whatnot.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: You know, he just rose to the challenge like he
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: always does. Man.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: And uh he he came out and he had it
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: on his mind. He knew obviously he was gonna go
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: down there and and punch it in. And you know
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: the chemistry those guys have in two minutes, very it's
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: very uh it it's special.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: And anytime we get that ball, you know, we know
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: we have a chance. What's it like for your tomal play.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: I know you're back from the injury, but it sounds
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: like you're still dealing with it.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: What's it like to play with.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: It's tough, but you know, obviously I don't want to
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: sit up here and make excuses for anything. Obviously, you know,
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: just being out a year is it's a big adjustment
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: to get back and getting the flow of things. Tackling, covering, blitching,
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: all of that plays a key role. But obviously, you know,
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: just keeping my knee warm on the sidelines throughout the game,
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: that's the main key. And obviously you know, playing on
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: turf versus grass is a little bit different as far
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: as you know pounding and an impact. But man, I'm
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: just grateful to be out there. Anytime I can be
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: out there and finish a game.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: God is good like something that.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: You're gonna have to deal with for the long term.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: Or is it just because you know it's still be
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: a little more than a year for me.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: I think it's just gonna be a year.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: I was I was kind of already told you know,
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: when I did tell my knee, uh, that it's gonna
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: be a year process as far as you know, when
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: I do get back out there, getting everything back, explosion
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: cutting and whatnot. Uh, not having the pain or dealing
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: with the achingess on top of my kneecap. I was
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: told that early on the competitor in me, I was
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: looking at my doctor saying, no, no, I'm gonna be all right.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: I'm not worried about that.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: But he was damn sure. You know he was right.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: Uh, I'm dealing with it, and uh it's gonna be
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: a year. But obviously again, I'm just grateful to be
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: out there with my teammates. Anything I can do to
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: impact the game, That's what I'm gonna do.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Thing you sometimes have on the sideline in between series
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: that's to warm your kneel. Yeah, it's like a little
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: heating pad you.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: Can say, has a little vibration as well on it,
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: and uh, just keeping my knee warm and uh showing
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: it some love.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: And you know, throughout each series.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: But you know, obviously when it gets colder outside, that
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: does play a factor. Today, money big money obviously again
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: man going into it, Uh, we were hot.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: On the sideline, I know, I was.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: Uh just you know the fact that we you know,
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: uh gave up that last touch down to tie the
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: game up.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: And uh we had enough time.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: Obviously we knew that that you know, the offense was
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: gonna go down and punch the ball in but when
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: Jam got close enough, when DK caught that ball.
• 4:11
