WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:03.600 Gonna go right on out to the ka Common Spirit Health Hotline and bring on 2 00:00:03.680 --> 00:00:08.039 Broncos linebacker Jonas Griffith. Jonas, how you doing this evening? Doing good? 3 00:00:08.080 --> 00:00:10.400 Brother? I appreciate you guys having me own all right. We appreciate 4 00:00:10.439 --> 00:00:13.560 you making the time and it's good to hear that you're doing well. Obviously 5 00:00:13.599 --> 00:00:17.280 this past season not going away you wanted with the starting off with the you 6 00:00:17.320 --> 00:00:19.600 know, the injury there in camp and what a what a back to back 7 00:00:19.600 --> 00:00:22.559 brutal day for Broncos fans in that locker room with you and Tim Patrick. 8 00:00:22.600 --> 00:00:26.239 But uh, you know, you get the one year extension here looking forward 9 00:00:26.280 --> 00:00:29.000 to you know, to to to turn it back around this season. How 10 00:00:29.199 --> 00:00:31.879 was it this year? Was it? Was it easier to deal with knowing 11 00:00:31.879 --> 00:00:34.799 that you know, you kind of had the broken foot thing before and uh 12 00:00:34.840 --> 00:00:37.399 and you dealt with that. How was it dealing with the injury off the 13 00:00:37.439 --> 00:00:41.479 field this year and watching the guys on it? Oh, it was really 14 00:00:41.520 --> 00:00:45.560 tough, honestly, dealing with the backspy injuries. It kind of you're away 15 00:00:45.560 --> 00:00:49.520 from the game for over a year and the game is my lovelihood and you 16 00:00:49.560 --> 00:00:52.640 know it's all I know and it's what I love to do day in and 17 00:00:52.679 --> 00:00:55.240 day out, and I wanted nothing more to be out there with the guys 18 00:00:55.280 --> 00:00:59.119 and contribute to the team. Well, Jonas as a guy that has suffered 19 00:00:59.119 --> 00:01:02.719 too knee injuries and my career, and I don't want to harp on it, 20 00:01:02.759 --> 00:01:04.519 but there are a lot of individuals who are going through some rough times 21 00:01:04.599 --> 00:01:10.239 right now. But what was it that helped you kind of push through those 22 00:01:10.280 --> 00:01:12.959 injuries and not being able to be out there with your your fellow teammates. 23 00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:18.400 You know, Uh, there's a saying that says, uh, hard, 24 00:01:18.599 --> 00:01:21.439 tough times gonna last. Tough people do and uh, you know, the 25 00:01:21.480 --> 00:01:25.120 tough times are gonna pass. And I'm a I'm a tough son of a 26 00:01:25.120 --> 00:01:27.000 gun. And you know, I think that just I want to, you 27 00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:30.879 know, not let this define me and once put my toughness in my character 28 00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:34.599 on display and just maybe motivate my teammates anyway, possibly even if I wasn't 29 00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:36.920 out there on the field. And you know, I think that's what I 30 00:01:37.120 --> 00:01:40.239 what I was hoping to do. And I feel like, UH just became 31 00:01:40.239 --> 00:01:42.079 a better man, a better player because of it. You know, you've 32 00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:46.040 you've been with the Broncos for for a little while now, and you've you've 33 00:01:46.120 --> 00:01:49.959 kind of gone through the uh, the different coaches and the different locker rooms 34 00:01:51.040 --> 00:01:53.719 they've had over the last couple of years. As you look at this thing 35 00:01:53.799 --> 00:01:56.719 right now and you see obviously the team moves on for Russ, just a 36 00:01:56.840 --> 00:01:59.920 big dead cap, all this kind of stuff. But is there You know 37 00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:04.400 the fans are looking for optimism, and if you were trying to tell a 38 00:02:04.439 --> 00:02:07.799 fan to be optimistic about this season, what would you tell them right now? 39 00:02:08.240 --> 00:02:09.960 I mean, I don't think there's too much you can say. I 40 00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:15.719 think the thing is you can only talk and say as much as he wants. 41 00:02:15.719 --> 00:02:16.800 I think you have to go out there and do something. But I 42 00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:19.680 mean, I think if you were looking at optimism, I think we have 43 00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:22.240 the right guy leadership, and I think that's coach Payton. I think that 44 00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:24.560 all he wants to do is win. You can see it every day with 45 00:02:24.639 --> 00:02:28.680 the moves that he makes in the with everything, and he wants to win. 46 00:02:28.719 --> 00:02:31.280 And I think that we're going to do that. And I have all 47 00:02:31.319 --> 00:02:34.680 the trust in the world in him, and then the guys around us as 48 00:02:34.719 --> 00:02:38.599 well well. Joan Is there are a lot of disappointed fans in Broncos country, 49 00:02:38.680 --> 00:02:44.960 but they're also optimistic at the same time, and they're hanging on by 50 00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:47.919 a thread and they need something to kind of cling to. As far as 51 00:02:49.039 --> 00:02:53.280 optimism, What can you say about the team in that locker room, even 52 00:02:53.319 --> 00:02:57.360 looking back at what it was last year, to give this fan base optimism 53 00:02:57.439 --> 00:03:01.520 as they move forward in twenty twenty four. Uh, Yeah, I believe 54 00:03:01.520 --> 00:03:05.560 we have a very hungry, hungry group of guys, and even now, 55 00:03:05.599 --> 00:03:08.400 guys are working out in the off seasons together and we're just doing everything possible. 56 00:03:08.439 --> 00:03:13.400 I'm I'm fully clear, and I'm working out with guys every day, 57 00:03:13.439 --> 00:03:15.479 and we talked about it all the time, how it's not going to be 58 00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:20.960 the teams are past and just ready to attack OTAs and just get after it. 59 00:03:20.960 --> 00:03:23.159 And I think that we have everybody that we that we need, and 60 00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:27.039 I think that the front office and the coaches that will bring in everybody else 61 00:03:27.039 --> 00:03:30.039 that we need as well from Fred and seeing the draft, and I'm really 62 00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:31.680 looking forward to just getting back to and getting with the guys because I think 63 00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:36.360 we're a hungry group of guys. You know that doesn't we don't have a 64 00:03:36.360 --> 00:03:39.520 lot of clout maybe coming into this off season. But I think that, 65 00:03:39.599 --> 00:03:43.439 you know, we we have what we need. I think and I were 66 00:03:43.439 --> 00:03:47.000 talking to start off the show about the Broncos developing and you know and kind 67 00:03:47.039 --> 00:03:51.639 of an identity and developing kind of a you know, a nasty attitude and 68 00:03:51.439 --> 00:03:55.800 and and sort of being that team and watching over the years some players that 69 00:03:55.840 --> 00:03:59.360 didn't have that, watching some players that did, I always felt like you 70 00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:00.360 were a guy that kind of had that, you know, that edge of 71 00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:04.000 that attitude. Uh, you know, to you watching you pick off get 72 00:04:04.039 --> 00:04:08.680 the interception against San Francisco, what it was a year ago, two years 73 00:04:08.719 --> 00:04:12.400 ago? You know. I I think that that having guys who could be 74 00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:15.479 playmakers on the defensive set of the ball is going to be huge for this 75 00:04:15.479 --> 00:04:17.279 football team. Whether they have a rookie quarterback or whether you've got a vet 76 00:04:17.360 --> 00:04:20.800 or whatever, the defense is going to need to be even more resolute than 77 00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:24.639 normal. And as you look at you know, what what you guys bring 78 00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:26.879 to the table. Is that is that something that you you go, you 79 00:04:26.879 --> 00:04:29.279 guys come together and you set out, hey, look we want to we 80 00:04:29.319 --> 00:04:32.480 want to establish this identity or is that something that just progresses naturally through being 81 00:04:32.519 --> 00:04:36.680 around each other? Uh? No, I think that you HiT's there right 82 00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:39.639 on the head. I think you come in and you want to establish the 83 00:04:39.720 --> 00:04:43.720 identity from day one. Just guys flying around to the ball, and uh, 84 00:04:44.040 --> 00:04:46.920 you know it kills me every day not not have been able to be 85 00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:49.639 out there last year. It's my first yearway from the game fully and man, 86 00:04:49.680 --> 00:04:54.879 I can't think I found a new found admiration and love for the game. 87 00:04:55.199 --> 00:04:57.839 How ready loved it. But I think you know that just that like 88 00:04:57.879 --> 00:05:00.160 and I look forward to bringing passionate just a defense as well. And you 89 00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:02.639 know there's already guys to do it every day. But you know, I 90 00:05:02.920 --> 00:05:05.680 want to just come in and add more, you know, and just be 91 00:05:05.759 --> 00:05:09.160 the guy that's going to bring energy, but not you know, not just 92 00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:12.199 talking by doing as well. They see you know, maybe guys see me 93 00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:15.439 flying around and they're like, okay, you know that's the standard and that's 94 00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:16.240 what we do. You know, there's already guys that do it. But 95 00:05:16.279 --> 00:05:20.240 you know, I'm going to add to that. Jonas with that being said, 96 00:05:20.839 --> 00:05:26.800 what kind of new goals have you set for yourself coming off of injury 97 00:05:26.839 --> 00:05:30.399 that you may not have had last season. Known as though, like you 98 00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:32.000 said, you are away from the game and you have a new found love 99 00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:38.800 for the game now that it was kind of taking away from you. Yeah, 100 00:05:38.879 --> 00:05:41.240 some I guess some goals I have because I mean, first and foremost 101 00:05:41.279 --> 00:05:45.199 to I want to come in and I mean, I'm I'm I'm calling it. 102 00:05:45.439 --> 00:05:46.639 I'm going to start. I'm going to you know, I'm gonna come 103 00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:49.000 in. I'm gonna start. I'm gonna contribute help this defense as much as 104 00:05:49.000 --> 00:05:51.240 possible. I know what I could do when I'm healthy, you know, 105 00:05:51.279 --> 00:05:55.639 And I feel like that is to be a ball player and go out there 106 00:05:55.680 --> 00:05:59.319 and make plays and help the defense and help the team win games. And 107 00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:01.519 know that that's what I'm gonna come in and do. And also like a 108 00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:03.879 more goal is to make the playoffs as a team. You know, I 109 00:06:03.879 --> 00:06:08.040 think that that's really attainable. You know. I'm sure the front office and 110 00:06:08.040 --> 00:06:11.160 the coaches will bring in the right quarterback and will whoever else we need. 111 00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:14.279 But I feel like that's an attainable goal for us to go into the playoffs 112 00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:16.480 and you know, the rest will take care of itself. It is, 113 00:06:16.600 --> 00:06:18.959 Uh, it is a tough division. I mean, you got to you 114 00:06:19.000 --> 00:06:23.600 know, the Super Bowl champions and the Chiefs here you've got a tougher probably 115 00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:27.399 Chargers team with with Jim Harbaugh now taking over there. Does that Does that 116 00:06:27.439 --> 00:06:30.560 put a sense of urgency on you guys at all? Do you guys factor 117 00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:32.360 that in or is it just you know, keeping what you can control and 118 00:06:32.399 --> 00:06:36.560 going from there. Oh, I mean I think if you if you don't 119 00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:40.000 have a sense of urgency in this league already, I think you're in the 120 00:06:40.040 --> 00:06:42.560 wrong profession. I think, you know, I mean, obviously you see 121 00:06:42.560 --> 00:06:45.920 what the Chiefs have done, but the sense of urgency has sense of urgency 122 00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:47.879 has to be there. We haven't been successful the past few years, and 123 00:06:48.079 --> 00:06:51.360 I don't think that's scept would offer anyone. The city and the organization. 124 00:06:51.480 --> 00:06:56.199 You know, the organization is not loosey used to losing, and you know, 125 00:06:56.360 --> 00:06:59.240 I think the since the sense of urgency is high and it's going to 126 00:06:59.240 --> 00:07:02.439 continue to be that way. Well, we often hear this word tossed around 127 00:07:02.519 --> 00:07:09.439 a lot leader in leadership for a guy who play the mic linebacker position and 128 00:07:09.480 --> 00:07:14.399 a guy who did a lot before your injury. Give me a couple of 129 00:07:15.079 --> 00:07:20.079 characteristics that, in your opinion, defines what a leader is. A leader, 130 00:07:20.199 --> 00:07:24.319 first and foremost has to be someone that leads by example. You can't 131 00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:29.360 be telling others what to do or making rob rob speeches if you're not the 132 00:07:29.399 --> 00:07:31.639 first one in the build and last one out working your butt off every day. 133 00:07:32.920 --> 00:07:36.040 That's the first characteristic that I feel like a leader should have, the 134 00:07:36.079 --> 00:07:40.480 one that leads by example. And then the second one is someone that is 135 00:07:40.519 --> 00:07:44.160 tough and someone that never quits. Is someone that is just in their actions 136 00:07:44.160 --> 00:07:46.279 and their character day to day is just tough and it's resilient and doesn't let 137 00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:50.839 things phase them. I think those are the top two traits of leadership for 138 00:07:50.920 --> 00:07:55.639 me. You look at you played with two guys who are or leaders in 139 00:07:55.639 --> 00:07:59.560 and of themselves, Josey Jewel Alex Singleton, And you look at the eye 140 00:07:59.560 --> 00:08:03.040 popping tackle numbers that you know they were able to put up the last couple 141 00:08:03.079 --> 00:08:07.759 of years. Is there any any side action maybe inside the locker room that 142 00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:13.600 that maybe you could top those numbers? Uh? You know, those are 143 00:08:13.600 --> 00:08:18.560 both two really good players, Like, uh yeah, I mean I would 144 00:08:18.600 --> 00:08:22.399 love to, you know, And that's what I was telling Alex actually Sunday 145 00:08:22.040 --> 00:08:24.000 I went over his house and I was like, you know, I'm coming 146 00:08:24.079 --> 00:08:26.720 for that. That uh, that record of tackles, you know, and 147 00:08:28.160 --> 00:08:31.439 you know, I hope that pushes him. That's gonna push me as well 148 00:08:31.600 --> 00:08:33.639 to get there and to get to the ball. You know what. You 149 00:08:33.639 --> 00:08:37.399 know, here's something that I don't think. You know, fans have a 150 00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:43.240 perspective on. Everyone has that thirty thousand view. But take take the fans 151 00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:48.519 into the world of playing that linebacker position where you see the gap, you 152 00:08:48.559 --> 00:08:52.120 see it open, you know it's gonna be a big hit. VI Then 153 00:08:52.120 --> 00:08:56.279 as a linebacker you have to do what take people into the mindset of what 154 00:08:56.320 --> 00:09:01.159 it's like to play linebacker in the NFL. Yeah, playing linebacker in the 155 00:09:01.240 --> 00:09:05.919 NFL is pretty much the quarterback of the defense. You you have to be 156 00:09:05.039 --> 00:09:07.679 physical enough to get off a block and make a tackle in the trenches, 157 00:09:07.720 --> 00:09:11.159 and you also have to be fast enough and quick enough to guard a shifty 158 00:09:11.240 --> 00:09:16.320 tight end like Travis Kelsey or George Kittle or Darren Waller people like that. 159 00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:18.919 And you know, it's it's a challenging job, but it's also really fun. 160 00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:22.159 You're the quarterback of the defense. You're making the call, you're communicating 161 00:09:22.200 --> 00:09:24.799 to the defensive line, you're communicating to the secondary. You're kind of the 162 00:09:24.840 --> 00:09:30.679 middleman. They you know, communicating the run, run, run whatever, 163 00:09:30.879 --> 00:09:35.360 like stopping to run and then communicating stopping the past to the secondary and all 164 00:09:35.360 --> 00:09:37.320 those things, all those things. Going to play, you have to be 165 00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:39.159 as smart as you have to be physical, as you have to be fast, 166 00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:43.399 and there's a lot that goes into it. But from the study in 167 00:09:43.440 --> 00:09:46.879 the plays to studying the offense you're studying for that week, and it's just 168 00:09:46.919 --> 00:09:50.200 going out there and just thinking, not not thinking as much and just flying 169 00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:56.320 around and just when you see it go. What have you learned from a 170 00:09:56.320 --> 00:10:01.679 former linebacker in the league like Greg Minuski, I learned a lot from him. 171 00:10:01.919 --> 00:10:05.960 He's a he loves football. You can just tell. From the day 172 00:10:05.960 --> 00:10:07.639 I met him, I could just tell he loves football. He loves being 173 00:10:07.679 --> 00:10:11.879 a round ball and he loved me Gods that loved ball as well. And 174 00:10:11.039 --> 00:10:15.240 uh just he loves to you know. I think that he likes the more 175 00:10:15.279 --> 00:10:18.080 physical style and he likes to see a big hit. He likes see you 176 00:10:18.200 --> 00:10:20.360 get off a block and be violent on a running back just carrying the ball 177 00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:24.960 or receiver, you know, And he tells you a lot about how to 178 00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:28.159 read the offensive lineman, how to read the running backs, and just also 179 00:10:28.200 --> 00:10:31.360 going out there and playing fast. I think that's one of the biggest things 180 00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:35.440 that he Dobb learned from him, just going out there and playing fast and 181 00:10:35.559 --> 00:10:39.159 just not thinking as much and just reacting to the what the offense is doing 182 00:10:39.159 --> 00:10:41.919 and once you see it going, all right, Jonas, I'm going to 183 00:10:41.960 --> 00:10:48.120 put you on the spot really quickly. Let's just say you were a GM. 184 00:10:48.279 --> 00:10:52.639 You're sitting there at twelve. Are you looking to take an offensive player 185 00:10:52.080 --> 00:10:58.679 or are you looking to take a defensive player? And why? Oh man, 186 00:10:58.679 --> 00:11:01.279 that's a that's a that's a that's a really good question. I feel 187 00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:05.200 as if I don't know who the team is bringing back in free agency. 188 00:11:05.200 --> 00:11:09.279 I don't know who they're looking at, So I really can't give you an 189 00:11:09.320 --> 00:11:11.759 answer on that. I mean, I feel like I would look at the 190 00:11:11.759 --> 00:11:15.879 best player possible at that at that pig, and you know, I guess 191 00:11:15.879 --> 00:11:18.440 you would see where it goes from there. Do you are you a Madden 192 00:11:18.440 --> 00:11:22.240 player though? Yeah? Yeah? Do you? Uh? Do you ever 193 00:11:22.279 --> 00:11:24.279 tease Josie Jewel about his speed rating? And like sub yourself in it's the 194 00:11:24.279 --> 00:11:26.879 the inside backer there to, you know, to help keep speed on the 195 00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:33.639 defense. I haven't tea through about that. Yeah, his head's pretty slow. 196 00:11:35.399 --> 00:11:39.559 I just because I do it. I'm just saying that. I said 197 00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:41.080 that to Josie one time and he's like, you know, you know he 198 00:11:41.200 --> 00:11:43.000 is. He get that that look on his face and then he's like, 199 00:11:43.039 --> 00:11:45.919 well, you know, you just took a playmaker out. And I was 200 00:11:46.000 --> 00:11:50.080 like, Okay, that's that's a good enough answer. He might he might 201 00:11:50.120 --> 00:11:52.159 not be that fast, but he's fast on the field. There you go. 202 00:11:52.240 --> 00:11:54.960 He's got the instincts too. But I always I try to trip people 203 00:11:54.039 --> 00:11:56.000 up with that. When I usually get the rookies on that question, I'm 204 00:11:56.000 --> 00:11:58.039 like, hey, you know when you when you go ahead, which much 205 00:11:58.080 --> 00:12:01.320 veteran are you subbing out the yourself in the game or whatever? Now, 206 00:12:01.519 --> 00:12:03.879 that'll trip people up sometimes. It got Katin Stearns a couple of years ago 207 00:12:03.879 --> 00:12:09.679 with Kajack and justin we're both here. That's funny, man, you know 208 00:12:09.679 --> 00:12:13.919 what? You know what, Jonahs, It's always interesting talking to different players 209 00:12:13.960 --> 00:12:20.159 who play different positions because they see the game entirely different. Like when I 210 00:12:20.279 --> 00:12:22.679 play, I would always get to ask the question, who was that one 211 00:12:22.759 --> 00:12:30.480 guy who would played wide receiver or running back that I stayed up extra kind 212 00:12:30.480 --> 00:12:33.639 of trying to prepare for that guy. And for me it was Adrian Peterson 213 00:12:35.080 --> 00:12:39.360 and it was Randy Moss. For you being a current player, is there 214 00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:43.399 a guy right now that hey, listen, I need to make sure before 215 00:12:43.399 --> 00:12:46.600 we play that guy, I need to make sure all the t's across and 216 00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:48.399 the eyes have dotted, because I don't want to end up on this guy's 217 00:12:48.480 --> 00:12:54.679 highlight. Yeah. I mean, I would say for sure as playing against 218 00:12:54.679 --> 00:12:58.399 the offensive lineman in my case, I would say playing against a guy like 219 00:12:58.399 --> 00:13:01.639 Trent Williams to tackle with, you know, just seeing what he's done the 220 00:13:01.679 --> 00:13:05.679 other linebackers, specifically how he just obliterated him. You're like, you know, 221 00:13:05.720 --> 00:13:09.000 when I move on his side of the ball, let me make sure 222 00:13:09.039 --> 00:13:11.759 I got, you know, my head on the swible to use my hands. 223 00:13:11.799 --> 00:13:15.159 You know, this guy, you know, because you know, you 224 00:13:15.200 --> 00:13:18.399 don't want to end up on NFL or Twitter. You know, him just 225 00:13:18.440 --> 00:13:20.639 taking your head off. So you're like, you know, let's be see 226 00:13:20.639 --> 00:13:24.320 where seventy one he is. Yeah, we were talking about that at the 227 00:13:24.399 --> 00:13:26.159 end the day. The thing I can't remember Nick was telling me about. 228 00:13:26.360 --> 00:13:28.519 I can't remember who it was you were telling about. Somebody was a Lorenzo 229 00:13:28.559 --> 00:13:31.679 Neil coming around, and you had the low moment. Yeah, man, 230 00:13:31.720 --> 00:13:35.519 because Lorenzo Neil was a fullback and had a thick neck and he was like 231 00:13:35.600 --> 00:13:39.759 short stocking, like a rhino. So if you were not looking, he 232 00:13:39.840 --> 00:13:41.639 was going to definitely clean you up. But once again, that was one 233 00:13:41.639 --> 00:13:43.600 of those things. Man, when you play the defensive side of the ball, 234 00:13:43.639 --> 00:13:46.559 you don't want to end up on someone else's highlight. Man, you 235 00:13:46.600 --> 00:13:52.840 don't. Uh huh. We see too many people get stiffed armed into the 236 00:13:52.960 --> 00:13:54.279 end of the center of the Earth by Derrick Henry. I have no doubt 237 00:13:54.360 --> 00:13:56.879 that's not not gonna be something you got to worry about. You know, 238 00:13:58.000 --> 00:14:00.360 you guys look forward to this season. It's your two shot, Payton, 239 00:14:00.360 --> 00:14:03.559 You're you're two advanced, Joseph. What are you most looking forward to accomplish 240 00:14:03.559 --> 00:14:05.960 this season? I mean everybody says the playoffs and all that kind of stuff, 241 00:14:05.960 --> 00:14:09.200 But on a personal level, what are you looking to accomplish? Oh, 242 00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:13.279 honestly, man, just looking forward to being out there again, you 243 00:14:13.320 --> 00:14:18.279 know, just from watching on the sideline this year and it really, uh 244 00:14:18.320 --> 00:14:20.120 it was it was hard, and you know, just wanting to be out 245 00:14:20.120 --> 00:14:24.159 there as a competitor as well, and I think that's why I'm looking forward 246 00:14:24.159 --> 00:14:28.440 to most and just being out there and just playing as hard as possible and 247 00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:31.399 helping this team accomplish all the goals that we set off to accomplish. Well, 248 00:14:31.399 --> 00:14:35.200 we're looking forward to having you back out there. We appreciate the time 249 00:14:35.240 --> 00:14:39.399 tonight. Broncos linebacker Jonas Griffith. Thanks again for the time, bud YEP, 250 00:14:39.440 --> 00:14:39.960 thank you guys.
