Hey, Christian, Christian, what do you what are you hoping to achieved Thursday night? In your second time out there. I think the same mindset is is last week. Just make sure I go out execute, stay stay on task with everything, and stay on plan, trying not to get behind the sticks, and just do everything I can to put our team in the best situation to win the ball game. How has it been difficult to remain patient, you know, kind of waiting for these moments to come? Uh,
you know, I can't really say either way. I mean I just know that that, you know, I prepare every week the same um as if I'm going to play, and because you never really know when that opportunity is gonna come. So that's that's kind of been my mindset towards it. M How did you How did you feel that Saturday night once you watch the film? Uh? You know, I felt like a lot of good stuff to learn from basically you know what what I had said afterwards
it was pretty spot on. Um, you know, just continuing to grow from that and use it as a user stepping stone to to get better and should come out and be as prepared as I can for the next opportunity. Have you, Um, have you been getting more reps this weekend practice in preparation for Thursday night? Yeah, I mean we've been well, getting rests to practice. Um, you know, just whenever, whenever again, whenever that opportunity comes, you know, take full advantage of it. I think has really been
what I've been doing, the same stuff in the film room. Um, you know, I feel ready, so um, you know, just continuing to grow in that aspect as well. Though. Are you gonna be in State College this weekend for the game? Um? Thinking about it. Not not quite sure yet. I know my little brother places for a soccer game up there, so if I do go up, that will be one of the main reasons why I do. But still trying
to figure out the plans with that. Christian. Is it weird to kind of think that it could be the last time you play in a game for you know, eleven months, you know, I mean I really don't think you can look at it that way. Um, And you know it's it's everyone thinks it's cliche, and everyone thinks it's you know this billboard you know statement, But I mean it's it's very very true. You look at the situation down in Dallas right now. Um, you know, you're
two snaps, three snaps away from playing. So for me, I think, you know, whatever happens happens, and it's out of my control. But I still need to stay in that mindset, in that mind frame where I'm preparing the best, the best that I can each week. Um, you know, given given the input and everything that I'm how to put into it. So just continue to prepare as much as I can for when that opportunity does come. Christ you just mentioned your situation in Dallas. Do you do
you keep track of the other rookie at all? You kind of keep an eye on what they're doing, you know, I don't think, uh, you know, for example, like with Dak. You know, I met Dak I think about a year and a half ago now, two years ago, and you know we've kept in contact ever since. I think it was more you know, I don't I wouldn't say it's uh, you know, I I don't really know what what the motive behind that question is. But I think it's more like with with those guys, uh, you know, I'd like
to see what they're doing. Um, I hope, hope that they're doing well. Like in the case with DAC. You're happy for what he's been doing.
