accident and the speed of play is really fast but i just wanted to apologize and just show my face and let everybody know it wasn't intentional. >> so you spoke to keith. what did you say to him, what did he say to you? >> yeah. i just apologized to him. let him know that i admire his game and that it wasn't intentional and he was like thank you. you know, it's football. it happens. and just wished him luck for the rest of the season. he wished me luck, too. >> now, the coach, the panthers coach, matt rule called the hit completely unacceptable. do you understand where he's coming from? his decision to cut you from the team? >> yeah, i do. i do understand. and honestly i completely understand because when i go back to the play i think like, man, i could have just punched the ball out instead of playing through the man. and like it's a learning experience, right? and this situation taught me, hey, practice is practice.
