00:00 I mean when I got up like my it just everything rushed my head and so I just
00:25 was like kind of stuck there for a second and a little bit dizzy and off
00:28 balance but other than that I mean I just needed a second needed a water and
00:32 but you know I was fine I got evaluated and checked on and teammates also were
00:37 just trying to help me tell me to you know get down and just make sure that I
00:41 was alright and it just in the mix of motion and a lot going on in a close
00:46 game there just just was frustrated but I honestly probably didn't even need to
00:52 come out but they just wanted to check on me and make sure I was okay and then
00:56 yeah the frustration just came from I you know I want to be there for my
01:00 teammates I'm a team player I don't like taking plays off I don't like coming out
01:04 but I just wanted to make sure everything was okay and it was fine at
01:09 the end of the day nothing nothing big or major last year it's just kind of I
01:14 necessarily didn't know how to gauge my play I guess and this year I do so I
01:22 just think I'm still not where I want to be and there's just things I got to
01:29 clean up and I know how to clean them up I just you know obviously coming back
01:33 from the neck injury and having that deal is just you know it's when people
01:39 are getting better for five weeks six weeks and you're out and you're not
01:43 playing any football and you're just completely out it's tough coming back
01:47 and you know playing but I'm getting there I just think I got to be more
01:51 strict on myself and in some technique things but other than that like you know
01:56 I feel I feel a hundred percent and way better than I have and then I mean
02:00 Darnell's you know having him on on my side it's a it's a cool combination I
02:05 think it switches up a little bit keeps you multiple for defenses and stuff like
02:09 that but uh you know it's just a little package that we have in and just it's
02:14 pretty cool to have both of us on one side for sure
02:19 (upbeat music)
