00:00 >> Come on.
00:02 >> All right.
00:03 >> Did they knock a gum out of your mouth?
00:04 >> Yeah. >> No.
00:05 I should have stuck it on my shoulder.
00:07 I would have been better off.
00:07 >> [LAUGH] >> How many times you get quipped over
00:10 the years?
00:11 >> I've been hit a lot, been hit hard.
00:13 I got a lot of metal in my body over that.
00:15 I gotta learn to get the hell out of the way.
00:17 >> Where's that one rank in terms of hard hits?
00:18 >> I got hit in college in a Clemson, Georgia Tech game.
00:23 Got a tibial plateau fracture.
00:24 Got a plate and six screws in my knee.
00:26 I had that hit at training camp with AB when I broke my ribs and my elbow and
00:30 vertebrae in my back, my finger.
00:32 That hurt.
00:33 This one hurt.
00:34 I got a torn rotator cuff, three spots.
00:36 But I'm good.
00:39 >> Wait, you have a torn rotator cuff from this one?
00:41 >> Yes.
00:41 >> All right, there's four muscles in your rotator cuff, and
00:45 I tore three of them in half and they're off the bone.
00:48 So it's complicated.
00:50 We'll get through it.
00:51 We'll see what happens.
00:52 >> Danny, how much do you appreciate Rodney for coming?
00:54 >> Well, he's done a good job.
00:55 And I'm gonna hear not only that, but I'm gonna have a hard time sitting him down.
00:59 >> [LAUGH] >> I couldn't get up.
01:02 When I landed on my shoulder, it went numb.
01:04 And I couldn't get off the ground.
01:06 I got trampled a couple times.
01:08 But I couldn't get off the ground, that was the problem.
01:09 So I rolled over on my back, and when I rolled over on my back,
01:12 he slid me out, like that.
01:14 That's how it happened.
01:16 But they're good guys, man.
01:18 They're good guys.
01:20 And those guys I coach, man, they all in it together.
