00:00I think the most important thing is the health and well-being of Trevor.
00:03Fortunately, he's going to be okay, so it's an unfortunate playing situation.
00:07I think one of the biggest issues that we sort of take umbrage with,
00:11I would say, as a team and organizationally,
00:14is a picture that's been painted of Aziz.
00:17Quite frankly, it's unfair, and I'd say one of the biggest issues that,
00:22and I probably speak for a lot of teams, not only Houston Texans, but
00:26I think that's all teams ask for is consistency from the league.
00:31So we're talking about some of the commentary that has been made about his
00:34character, about the person that he is, about what his intentions are,
00:38from people that, quite frankly, don't know anything about Aziz Al-Shayer, okay?
00:42And for the league to make some of the commentary that Dean made about lack of
00:45sportsmanship, lack of coachability, lack of paying attention to the rules,
00:50quite frankly, it's embarrassing.
00:52So I think the big thing from our, and
00:53I'm talking about a player who's never been suspended, never been ejected.
00:58But I think what we take umbrage is, is just the picture that's been painted
01:02about Aziz, his intentions, who he is as a person.
01:06I mean, quite frankly, it's, and it's unfair to the individual.
01:10It's unfair to the organization.
01:12I mean, we love everything about Aziz Al-Shayer, what he means to this team,
01:15what he brings to this team.
01:17He was elected a captain after being here for four months.
01:20Like we're gonna support Aziz, we love everything about him.
01:23We're glad he's a part of this team.
