I never got an okay.
I changed how I was hitting guys, to be honest with you.
You tried to change.
I tried to lower my strike area, but when you lower and they lower, you end up hitting at the same place.
Right.
Yeah.
Listen, when I went to meet with Roger Goodell, right, and I'm giving him the most impossible scenario, I said, if I go to tackle a guy, and I said at the last second, I'm going to tackle his ankles.
I said, I'm going to tackle his ankles.
I'm talking to Merton Hanks.
And I'm going to tackle his ankles.
And I said, the last second, he bent his whole body in half and put his head down there, and I hit his helmet.
That's on me.
Yeah.
I said, well, we ain't got nothing else to talk about.
So you was like, I'm going to just go play because I know I'm going to get fined either way.
You're fining for anything.
If my helmet touches his helmet.
It don't matter that it's my fault or him lowering his head into the position.
I tell you the worst possible could ever happen that he literally sees me diving at his ankles and he drop his head to his ankle and I hit him helmet to helmet.
That's on me.
