Speaker 1 (00:00):
Tyrone. It's not just a teammate that gets hurt by
a guy from your running backs from when Scattergoo goes down.
What's going through your mind? And how do you deal
with it?

Speaker 2 (00:09):
To be honest with the first thing I did was pray.
I got that on the knee, and I started praying
because when you know, you see a team and go
down like that, and with any injury no matter, you
know what it is, man, you you start praying because
you it's all mental from that point on. And I
know I'm praying form. I know I'm all the other
my other team that's to paying form And like I said,
it sucks, they really do. And like I said, I'm

(00:30):
just just praying form.

Speaker 1 (00:31):
From your advantage point. Were you able to see the
play from where you were.

Speaker 2 (00:34):
Yeah, I was watching it because obviously you know he
running backs and watching him, you know, and I knew
the play. I knew what he was doing, like his
foot just got stuck when Bomb was trying to make
a tackle.

Speaker 1 (00:45):
So as a teammate, what are you guys? I mean,
everybody takes your knee and everyone's praying for him, but
what are you saying to each other? How are you
consoling each other to try to get through it, and
you have to still play the game even though you
may not want to.

Speaker 2 (00:57):
Yeah, I mean at this point, you know, after he
got hurt, you know, he's he's the one actually yelling,
you know, from the from the cart, you know, uh.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
Let's let's do this.

Speaker 2 (01:07):
Let's do it, you know, and for us, like we're
just trying to do, you know, the best we can,
you know, for Scatt because his energies and is infectious,
so you know, with him being hurt, being injured, Like
me personally, I'm just trying to do, you know, everything
I can to make sure that you know I'm doing
it for him. It really sucks, I really do. Man,
it really sucks that he's not gonna be out there

(01:27):
with me because like I think we had a good
duo going. But for me to get out to get
back out there, give my opportunities, Like I'm gonna just
keep continue to do what I'm doing. Even when I
wasn't an opportunity, I still felt like if I was
confident and felt when I opportunities came, I took advantage of.
So I'm gonna just keep doing that.
