00:00 >> Yeah, I would just treat it as any other game.

00:05 I don't try to get too caught up, get too overwhelmed.

00:08 And just enjoy the moment, focus on things, just strong.

00:14 Going out there playing a good game overall as a team, and hopefully getting a win.

00:19 And then after the game, I'm talking to a beat and going straight home.

00:23 I'm kidding, I'm kidding.

00:24 >> [LAUGH]

00:26 >> You think there'll be a moment somewhere

00:28 along the way, I mean, there's obviously gonna be an introduction and

00:33 some fanfare when you leave the field and stuff like that.

00:36 >> I mean, it's definitely gonna be a moment.

00:39 Last game of the season, I'll be freezing after this year.

00:48 Been here eight years, so just be grateful to whoever shows up and

00:53 hopefully we'll be able to finish strong.

01:00 Just grateful for the whole process.

01:01 >> Do you have family or friends or people in public who ever come up to you and

01:04 talk to you about the free agency?

01:06 Is that something that ever has to come up or

01:09 is it something you can avoid pretty well?

01:10 >> I'm not really much, I don't really go out in public too much.

01:14 But no, not really, I mean, they're talking about it on the season,

01:18 so I'm not too much to focus on or anything.

01:21 >> You guys have been going at it since I guess April towards the season.

01:25 What's it like knowing that Sunday is the end of it and it's kinda weird that a lot

01:29 of times you're playing to get in the playoff at the very end and

01:31 there's a sudden end and now you know it's gonna be Sunday.

01:34 What is that like?

01:36 >> It's been a short, long season I think, I would say.

01:39 But that's just the way it is, that's the reality of it.

01:44 We love the game.

01:47 But we've got one more, so we'll just focus on finishing strong.

01:54 Like I said, we're not happy about how the season went, but

01:58 it's all about how you finish and how you finish strong.

02:03 >> [INAUDIBLE] >> From both the team perspective and

02:06 your perspective in the off season, is there a part of you,

02:09 a large part of you that would like to play your entire career in the Tennessee Tigers?

02:14 >> I mean, any player would love to play for an organization.

02:19 Finish out their career as long as they can.

02:23 But like I said, the business side and all those type of things, they go on and

02:27 I understand that.

02:28 So we'll just see how it takes out in the off season.
