 I'm assuming your phone lit up from mama or somebody on Monday night and you know text or a call. What was that like? Yeah I mean everyone's calling and you know just you know saying the praying for everybody but I mean just like as a parent you know I have my son and he's just something that you I couldn't even imagine you know watching you know watching my son go down like that or watching you know even a cousin a friend a brother like something like that so like I said I mean it's just something you can't really put in the words it's just all of us here I know every here but everywhere else we're praying for him and just hoping he has a full recovery. Has any family member said to you in the wake of that? Yeah I mean you know my mama always calling me up but I mean he's just. Does she say that's it you know you can't go back to that locker room? You can't play football anymore? No no no I mean she does. I mean people everybody here we know like a lot of us this was our way out you know so I mean we know obviously the rest that you signed up for it's just something we don't think about but at the end of the day like this is that's not who we are but I mean this is what we do you know so it's just for us it's like you just gotta pray for him hope because back we know he loves this game the game was him so that's how we have to take it. It takes a certain mindset I'm sure to do what you do on Sunday afternoon you kind of get yourselves like that does that part of it become harder after this? Yeah I mean no doubt I mean in the days no one could sit there and see something like that and just say though there's gonna flush it you know it's in the back of your mind no matter what I mean it's for me just watching it's just a routine cycle so like it wasn't crazy no freak accident like I mean it was just a good football player in my opinion so like for us watching something like that it's always gonna sit there in the back of your mind but you gotta just you gotta try to put it in the back and go out there and play. Just stay pretty normal? Yeah I mean we obviously have been close to the good job bringing everybody up we talked about anybody had anything to say he had a real good message for us you know so I mean that was really powerful uplifting it's just one of the things where it's open like you know if you have something to say because you want something on your heart talk to somebody you know so it was really good. What did he say? He had a whole he had a whole script and everything like that but I think it was good you know it was like just stuff that he said about being a player in a fans perspective a football players perspective so it was just it was just really good to hear one of those messages I think it helped a lot of guys out. Can we start with Monday night football whenever you see a hit like that what happened on the field what was initially going for your mind? Just praying and just praying that he could get up and when that did happen it was really just praying that anything like anything good could come out of it it was just a horrible situation this football so we all know the risk it's a physical game but nobody expects to see that. How does it put things in the perspective for you as a player you just said it's football we know that there's hits like that that happened but what we saw on Monday night was clearly very different how does it put things in the perspective? You gotta love it you're the love for this game and appreciation for every snap you get that we talked as players and it's just it just comes down to appreciating every moment because you never know when it's gonna be your last that's life I mean it doesn't even have to be on the football field you'd be driving your car down the street and somebody come hit you so we all translated that to just appreciating everything football life and everything the NFL can do for us. Is it difficult to go business as usual today you guys have a game on Sunday life is moving on for you guys but is it is it a little bit difficult? It's a little difficult but that's the life we live I mean it's difficult to come in here after you lose after you put in a lot of work but we got to do it and I mean we got the right guys so everybody we're talking to each other making sure everybody's okay and got to go to work. Flipping in the national championship the dogs are back at it again what are you most excited about to watch the dogs take on TCU on Monday? Just a chance to make history station go from walk on to having a chance to go back to back that's huge couldn't be prouder for him and the team and I'll just be running them on loud and hard. Obviously a totally different scenario but when you were on the team that played TCU in that whole game what do you remember about that case first year? We're just as a defense we're excited to play just to get a chance to go out there and play our brand of football and I think they're kind of in the same situation they're excited to get another shot to go out there and play Georgia football and Georgia defense so I'm excited excited to see them go out there and ball you brought up Stetson Bennett there's the conversation is he a legend or is he not in your opinion is he a legend for Georgia he is a living legend I love that I love him so I mean I'm sure I'm not the only dog friend that loves him man he works hard so he deserves everything he deserves it all. Win that's it it doesn't matter what happened before we're not thinking about what's gonna happen next week we just want to win and I think that's for similar mindset we've had all year just put last week behind us win lose a draw and come out ready to ball so sure you always want to end on a high note just this leaves a good taste in your mouth and going into offseason knowing that you won your last shot the last chance you have to go out there and play football you got to win and especially play well.
