00:10 It's been doing what I've been doing the whole season and the ball found me.
00:23 Just gotta make the most of every opportunity you can get.
00:26 And I mean, I did what I could with what I got.
00:29 So like I said, I'm doing whatever I can every night, every game just to
00:34 make the most of the opportunities I get.
00:38 And I mean, I felt normal, didn't feel anything outside of that.
00:43 And I mean, I continue to do so, continue to run my routes, get open.
00:47 And the ball comes, it comes.
00:49 If it doesn't, it doesn't.
00:50 I've always made plays when I have the ball in my hand.
00:52 So there's nothing like a mystery of that.
00:58 I make plays and that's my job and that's what I wanna do.
01:01 So obviously we have to do more of that, whether it be me, Cole, DJ.
01:06 It's the same thing every time.
01:09 Get the ball in those guys' hands and make plays.
01:12 And things go good with offense, so just need to do more of those things.
01:16 But I mean, everything's up in the air.
01:19 I mean, whatever happens, it happens.
01:21 I mean, you can say whatever Jalen, me, whatever guys.
01:25 I mean, look at Jermaine, look at whatever guys have got in extensions.
01:32 I mean, eventually, somebody's gonna pay.
01:35 I mean, whether it's here or wherever you go, somebody's gonna take care of you.
01:39 And so you just gotta go out there and play ball.
01:41 It doesn't matter what you're gonna do with it.
01:43 You can't look for something tomorrow.
01:45 Whenever it comes, it comes, and just have to take care of your job.
01:49 Extensions is a good thing.
01:50 Obviously, I would love to be here.
01:52 I love Chicago.
01:53 I love the fans, and I love just being here.
01:56 I mean, we've got everything in here, facility-wise.
01:59 We have one of the nicest facilities ever.
02:00 So I would definitely love to be here, but like I said, just can't worry about it.
02:04 Somebody's gonna pay eventually.
02:05 I think it's just going out there and doing what he can, the best he can.
02:12 And just having fun with the guys on the team.
02:15 So it's not much of what other people think outside or anything.
02:19 We're trying to win games at the end of the day, and that's just the sponsor.
02:23 >> Yeah, I mean, we've been trying to get this project going for a long time now.
02:27 So it's a build up, and like you said, it's a process.
02:32 So trying to get things up, regardless of who's at quarterback or
02:36 probably, I mean, we have a lot of things to get done.
02:39 Just not at the quarterback situation, too, so.
02:42 >> There's no understanding that this.
