Was there a thought about coming back for you?
7:57
Um, a little bit, a little bit, um, because anytime you, you, you know, you end your career in a way that you don't have control of it, it's kind of like, you know, I want to have my, my, the control of my ending.
8:11
Um, but you know, I, I think I did a tryout, you know, that, that season and just got the sense of, man, you still got it, man.
8:19
You really wanted to play.
8:20
You can do this.
8:21
And, uh, I think that's all I needed, you know, I think.
8:24
that's what I needed to hear from somebody else that, Hey, you still have the potential.
11:03
When you come out here today, what players are you looking forward to catching up with, or which legends are you looking forward to seeing?
35:12
I gotta come back." If you had to guess, if he does come back, why do you think he would come back? What would his primary motivation be for coming back?
35:21
Man, just, you know...
35:23
You know, it's crazy that you say that because this is a rare opportunity for him, especially when, when you know the stars almost seem like they're aligning in the perfect order for him, where, you know, you get to go back, you know, to your, your organization.
35:37
The Super Bowl is in LA.
35:39
You know, they get Myles Garrett, you know, on the d- on the D-line, so you don't have to be triple-teamed and double-teamed, um, every rep.
35:46
So it just allows you to al- go back to where you, you were playing free and things like that.
35:51
So for me, I just think, um, like I said, the stars are aligning for him perfectly, where he has the opportunity to be on a team that has a great chance of being in the Super Bowl.
36:30
What can you tell us about the unseen hours and how hard he works to go along with that freakish physical talent?
22:30
if he does come back, why do you think he would come back? What would his primary motivation be for coming back?
22:37
Man, just, you know...
22:38
You know, it's crazy that you say that, because this is a rare opportunity for him, especially when, when, you know, the stars almost seem like they're aligning in the perfect order for him, where, you know, you get to go back, you know, to your, your organization.
22:53
The Super Bowl is in LA.
22:55
You know, they get Myles Garrett, you know, on the d- on the D-line, so you don't have to be triple-teamed and double-teamed, um, every rep.
23:02
So it just allows you to al- go back to where you, you were playing free and things like that.
23:07
So for me, I just think, um, like I said, the stars [laughs] are aligning for him perfectly, where he has the opportunity to be on a team that has a great chance of being in the Super Bowl, it being in LA again.
23:49
What can you tell us about the unseen hours and how hard he works to go along with that freakish physical talent?
31:37
Brock, first and foremost, your percentage that Donald would come back.
31:43
Um, it would...
31:44
I, I, I would say it would be a 50/50 chance on Donald coming back, only because, um, it depends on the situation.
31:51
You know, we, we...
31:53
You know, knocking on wood, we, we have a great year, and he comes back and helps us win, you know, a championship.
32:13
Yeah
32:13
... there's a s- a, a world where we aren't as good as we thought we would be, and it doesn't look like we're gonna make the playoffs, or it doesn't look like we're gonna be...
32:24
I don't, I don't see a world where he comes back to not win a ring.
