00:00Obviously, there's a lot of emotion when you play an NFL football game.
00:03So I just try to let those come naturally.
00:05And, but definitely when you miss time due to something like that,
00:10and nobody wants to be on the field more than me, just to be out there again,
00:14to be honest with you, is just to,
00:15you really realize how much of a privilege it is to play football.
00:19It came out great, which was huge.
00:21We knew it was gonna be hard, but to load manage him,
00:27as I think everyone says in the media, I just say, not play him as much.
00:31But he didn't need to be taken out, he's just talking, and we felt great.
00:34And gonna be pumped to have him back next week.
00:36I think it was awesome, just what he can do, running the ball and
00:40then coming out of the backfield in our pass game.
00:42But more than anything, man, just seeing how gritty and tough he is.
00:47We're like, we get behind him, we're like, he inspires us and
00:50he keeps us all sort of going and lights that fire in our huddle.
00:54So it's huge having him in there.
00:55I'm just happy I'm here, man.
00:57I mean, that was a long journey and a lot of long days.
01:00So it feels good to win, and
01:02it feels good to just play in a football game again.
