What's kind of this experience that you're kinda just waiting to find out what's happening?

What's it like for you?

Nothing.

I, I don't pay attention right now.

I just try to do my job during the game.

I don't need anything to wait for my team, but I just go in there and compete.

I don't, I don't wanna think about where's the line or anything.

If he, sometimes he could play me, I'll go do my job, you know, so I don't wanna think about that.

How do you keep your head focused on the field?

Yeah, like I say, I don't wanna think about that.

Just wanna go there and do my job.

How's your legs feeling?

Can you pick a little bit?

Good.

No, no, today is good.

Thanks, Scott.
