00:00 >> I tried to do the best that I could.
00:02 >> We don't even belabor the point.
00:04 Player wise, was it tough at all just these last 48 hours not knowing when
00:08 the game's gonna be?
00:08 >> No, yeah, no excuses.
00:11 They just, you gotta give them credit.
00:12 They came out and played their game and they ended up winning.
00:15 So there's no excuses on the weather or
00:17 anything, they played in the same weather as us.
00:19 We just, yeah, they just wanted that point.
00:22 >> The tough on that play, I mean, you see him run through to tackle KZ.
00:24 >> Right. >> Right in the game.
00:25 >> Yeah, so- >> If you don't bring it against that guy.
00:27 >> I'm gonna be the next victim on the menu.
00:30 But yeah, it's either you do damage, you do damage, you don't.
00:33 But I always take responsibility with the things that go wrong in my life.
00:36 So I take the blame, but I guess next time I gotta, I don't know,
00:43 cartwheel out the way or I don't know, it's tough.
00:46 When you see a guy like that turn up on you, you're thinking it's time to get to
00:49 it and then, yeah, it ends up being the major back breaking play.
00:53 So yeah, I apologize.
00:55 >> Well, just for some added context,
00:57 how quick of a decision is that to make in that kind of moment?
01:01 >> It's damn near impossible because it's like throwing a punch and
01:07 then not catching it as you, I don't know how to explain it, man.
01:11 It's like once you commit to something, you know what I mean?
01:14 There's no way you can pull yourself back out of it.
01:16 And I try to do the best I can, but yeah.
01:21 >> Do you think you're playing next year?
01:22 Do you wanna keep playing football?
01:23 >> I would love to keep playing.
01:27 That's up to them and the other 32 teams.
01:30 Right now this one hurts, so I can't even really think about next year.
01:33 I'm just kinda, yeah, wish things would have been better.
01:36 Wish we would have had a better night, had some better, just better.
01:41 [LAUGH] >> Did this run kinda put the juice back
01:43 India from that standpoint?
01:44 >> No, it's definitely been fun playing ball again.
01:47 I'm sorry, tonight was definitely rough, but it's been fun playing ball.
01:51 I realize how much I missed it, put the love back into me.
01:53 Just tonight was rough.
01:57 >> Do you approve of yourself that you can still play at this level?
01:59 Or do you always, where were you going from the time?
02:01 >> I think it was more so, it was a mixture of a lot of things going on in my life
02:06 that I felt like I had to take care of off the field.
02:08 But it was definitely a blessing that they even called me.
02:12 And then I even got to play and get out there.
02:13 So I gotta be grateful for the opportunity.
02:16 You just don't wanna be the guy that commits that penalty at that time,
02:19 you know what I mean?
02:20 >> It's tough, man.
02:22 >> [LAUGH]
