 Hey Dory. Been a long time. I'm sure you were getting a little eager and maybe impatient. Just what was it like? What's it been like to get close for all this time and then to finally get back out there today? How did it feel for you? It was really a blessing. I didn't know when I was going to be able to play. I've just been praying a lot with my parents and my family. That's been the biggest thing, just trying to pray and stay positive and keep faith because it's been a long journey the ups and the downs, the highs and the lows. You might think it was ready, but it wasn't. So we stay impatient and thankfully the team kept encouraging me and finally get out there. It just felt good. Just a blessing to be out there with the guys, fly around, have fun and do what I love to do. How did you evaluate yourself when it's the first time all season? I feel like it's a lot of stuff that I could have done better even though that we had a great team win. I just feel like little things I can clean up, whether it's with my feet work, my eyes on the way I'm in alignment, my assignment. Just another thing, just figuring out, going looking at the film, you see what I could have done better and attacking and trying to improve each day and get back to next week. Thank you. Before the game, you were kind of saw you moving around and just really testing that knee. How long do you think it's going to take for you to just kind of have that full confidence in your change of direction and everything with it? I feel like I had it today. If I didn't have any confidence, I would probably have the confidence of working and getting into the week and getting together. So at the end of the day, it's just going out there and playing and reacting. You can't go out there and think, you know, when you think bad things happen or if you try to play timid or try to play to prevent injury, things may happen. So I learned that at a young age, no matter what's going on, just go all our full speed, full till all the time. And that's what I did out there today. And then, obviously, you love this game. There's no doubt in that. So that time that you were away, what did you miss most and what really bothered you the most and watching some of the things that were happening defensively? I think what bothered me most is just not being out there, knowing that I wanted to get back out there so bad, but just trying to listen to my body and not trying to rush anything and understanding that, you know, everything happens for the reason. So the Lord, whatever it was that he put me through, it was for a certain reason and for a purpose for me. I'm just to reset and get back out there when I can and when I was ready. And for me, I just missed the games, missed being out there with the guys, having fun. Even when I was in out there practice, just to finally be out there, you know, to joke around, just do the things I love, just try to put smiles on people's faces and just have fun. That's the biggest thing about it. You just miss being out there with your teammates, with the coaches, just flying around and just interacting with everybody. And then for you personally, I was watching the communication there were a couple of times, you know, third down situations as across and around you're talking and you're doing all that. What will it take for you to get fully on the same page and be able to communicate as effectively for the last couple of games and into the playoffs? For us, we just keep working on our practice, you know, being mentally in tune throughout the weeks, you know, even though if I wasn't doing a lot, I was still trying to be mentally sharp and understanding the lingo and the things that they were talking about and discussing before I even came back out there. So I would make sure I was, we always talk about the next man up and don't want to lose the beat. And so when I wasn't out there, I was just trying to make sure I was up tempo and in tune with what their verbiage were and just trying to play ball. So I think each day, each week, we're going to keep getting better and better until we're back in sync. Luke. Adore, we saw you practice last week. And then I think when you were first put on the designated return list, you practiced a little bit, what made this the week for you to come back in terms of listening to your body and your health? I just think just the preparation, more being confidence building, going out there, understanding what was going on with my body and understanding what I needed to do to get myself ready for the week. Then I just said a lot of prayer. And I was just praying every night, you know, for the Lord to just not to give me a sign, but to get me going and getting me through the weeks, so I can get out there and compete and perform. So I think a lot of prayer went into that. And I just put it up to God, for real. Jim. And what has it been like, I guess, Adore, from just a patient standpoint, I do want to be out there wanting to play, just trying to be patient, wait your turn. And how good did it feel kind of running out of the tunnel? You know, patience is a virtue. So for me, it was just pretty much just trying to understand, I don't want to rush anything or do something that was going to hurt myself or hurt the team as well, just by rushing out there. So, you know, it's been 13 weeks or how long it's been. That's a hell of a long time. But thankful to finally get out there. And I think, you know, the key word is patience. I understand that everything takes time and not being discouraged. And even when I wasn't out there, just uplifting and cheering on the root for the guys were out there beating and playing because at the end of the day, I wanted to see them do great. But everything they were doing. And you guys, I know, kid with each other a lot, but what were some of the comments you heard maybe in warm-ups on the sideline, just, hey, having your back out there, do they have a little fun with you? Yeah, I mean, what was shocking was, I never actually been in the circle with the DBs. Usually I'm out there with a return. So they were shopping hands and giving head butts. And that was new to me in that angle actually hurt because I wasn't used to that. But it was just fun being out there and being with them, you know, they said, you know, you know, they was praying for me and thankful to have you back out there. And I just feel good, you know, to hear those guys say it and, you know, try to uplift me and when I was just trying to do the same for them. So it's a brotherhood that we have. We just always try to stay together and keep it going. Yeah, Dory, I apologize if you got to ask this, but obviously early, it looked like maybe you were coming back around like Steelers game or so. Did you have a setback somewhere in there? And what has this whole process been like for you? This process has just been a lot of emotions, I would say, the ups to down highs and lows, you know, experiencing just the bottom, I would say. It's the first time I'd have missed ample amount of games and not being able to be out there and play. I know I missed some games before, but I was always able to get back out there and compete. So I just think experience on all those emotions in life. And you go through adversity. I think it was just one of the things that hit me and I was finally able to overcome it. I just stayed the course and stayed down and I knew eventually that you was going to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Can you take us back to, was it the Thursday before the opener, a regular Thursday morning and something happened? Was it that day? And did you know it was going to set you back to 13 weeks or a long period of time? Did you get hurt that day in practice? Yeah, I didn't really know how long it was going to be. I didn't know what, you know, it was one of the things where just a crazy thing happened to me. And just forcing up that, you know, everybody was positive and kept me positive and kept me upbeat. You know, when you hurt, it's one of the worst things to imagine because you're so used to doing things a certain way, you're living a certain way and doing it in your daily routine and not be able to do that and to be out there and compete with the guys. It hurts, really. It's the second thing I would say, you know, not be able to be out there and do that. So finally be able to come out and be with the guys. Man, I'm just thankful that. Contact injury, non-contact injury? This is one of those things where the Lord, he did saw me and just handed me from going out there. Thanks. Precinct. I'm good, Kim. I didn't have one. Thanks for the last question, Terry. Were you fearful that this injury you suffered, it was going to be a season-ender and you wouldn't be able to play at all this year? No, I wasn't fearful. I was more positive on the, I don't know, I was more optimistic of everything and, you know, glass half full, whether they didn't have empty. So I never thought that it was going to be one of those things where it was going to be a season-ender. I always stayed positive and everything they asked me to do on the way getting back, I did it, you know, with a positive attitude just like, you know, showing that I'm here for the team and here whatever it caused me to be and to get back out there when I was, when I was able to and it just happened to be that.
