1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,120 Speaker 1: For somebody who has witnessed what has gone on here 2 00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:06,760 Speaker 1: in the last five years, were you able to kind 3 00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:09,480 Speaker 1: of take a moment on Sunday when you guys are 4 00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:11,799 Speaker 1: running out the clock and what that? What does that 5 00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:14,960 Speaker 1: mean to you? Having been a part of this, you know, 6 00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:17,920 Speaker 1: it's it's National Football League, you know, and if you've 7 00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:20,640 Speaker 1: been in this thing long enough, you know the ebbs 8 00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:22,799 Speaker 1: and flows of the seasons and how they go, and 9 00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:26,080 Speaker 1: then the year from year to year. Obviously, you know 10 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:28,639 Speaker 1: it's been rough since we've been here. But to be 11 00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:33,160 Speaker 1: able to get back, you know, to a winning way 12 00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:37,479 Speaker 1: and and and be able to play in the playoffs, 13 00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:45,480 Speaker 1: playing postseason is it's it's big think do you think 14 00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:48,280 Speaker 1: this has been Graham's best year since he's been here? 15 00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:53,360 Speaker 1: Graham tas some pretty good years here. Yes, it's it's 16 00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:56,480 Speaker 1: one of his better years for sure. Um, I want 17 00:00:56,480 --> 00:01:01,040 Speaker 1: to say a few years back he was ninety, might 18 00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:05,160 Speaker 1: have been like nineties six. So I mean he's he's 19 00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:09,560 Speaker 1: he's had some pretty good years long ones more this. Yeah, yeah, 20 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:13,360 Speaker 1: he's and that. And and with that being said, uh, 21 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:15,959 Speaker 1: you know, anytime I want to say he has nine 22 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:19,840 Speaker 1: or eight, yeah, yeah, I mean that's it's a lot 23 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,680 Speaker 1: of fifty plus kicks, a lot of made fifty plus 24 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 1: kicks and uh, you know you when you make those 25 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 1: big kicks like that longer kicks and they're also big, 26 00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 1: but that that's a that's hard to do, especially here 27 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 1: in the Northeast where most of been made. So you know, 28 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 1: he's not in the dome in Atlanta or in Dallas, 29 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 1: so it's it's tough up here to kick in the bus. 30 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 1: How comforting use that as a just not just a 31 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:47,240 Speaker 1: special team's coach, but for a head coach to know, hey, 32 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 1: so many of these games come down to the last possession, 33 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 1: that this is the guy you have. Yeah, I mean, 34 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:54,520 Speaker 1: it's it's huge for us. I mean he's a weapon, 35 00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 1: you know. Uh, when you get a chance to know 36 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 1: that at any point in time, once once you cross 37 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 1: the fifty and you get into that area where he 38 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 1: feels comfortable, you know, that's that's huge, and it's it's 39 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:09,639 Speaker 1: a comforting feeling to know that you have a guy 40 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:11,280 Speaker 1: that can get done when you need to get it done. 41 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,640 Speaker 1: Sometimes when you have a weapon like that, you see 42 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:17,320 Speaker 1: teams kind of be more conservative and lean towards you know, well, 43 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 1: we got this guy it seems like he allows you 44 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:23,919 Speaker 1: guys to be more aggressive. Is that agree? I agree 45 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,639 Speaker 1: with you? Um, you know you because once you get 46 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,679 Speaker 1: to the number, you know, okay, we gotta field goal, 47 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,079 Speaker 1: Let's try and you know, try and get the first 48 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 1: at Let's try and get more yards or whatever. You 49 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,520 Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like he he helps you that way. 50 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:40,080 Speaker 1: Is there anyone's doing differently? I'm sorry this season that 51 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 1: he's been able to make those are is that just 52 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:44,240 Speaker 1: kind of evens out looking? I mean, it's when you 53 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:48,240 Speaker 1: look at his percentage over the years, it's it's pretty 54 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 1: it's been pretty good. So he's just he's continuing to 55 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 1: stay in his routine. Uh and just you know, him 56 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,080 Speaker 1: and Jamie ever have a really good him with the 57 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:02,399 Speaker 1: battery of the three, Casey, Jamie and uh Graham having 58 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 1: a really good working relationship and really relationship period there. 59 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,240 Speaker 1: They stayed together over at the hotel, so I mean 60 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,800 Speaker 1: they're always around each other. So I think that that's 61 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 1: that synergy of those three is really really good and 62 00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,680 Speaker 1: that I mean, obviously it helps on gaming. He saw 63 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,640 Speaker 1: Jamie had a bit of a rough patch the middle 64 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:29,840 Speaker 1: of the year. Are you seeing growth in more consistency 65 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 1: from him as we get later in the year. Yeah. Absolutely, Um, 66 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:37,280 Speaker 1: you know it's amazing. You know, yesterday he put he 67 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 1: put on the show out of here yesterday. He hit 68 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 1: a lot of big punts yesterday. I mean probably had 69 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 1: like seven or eight of him that were five plus. 70 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 1: So he's you see, you see the maturation process of him. 71 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 1: You see him getting better, he's getting more confident. Uh. 72 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 1: Obviously it helped that it was sixty three degrees out 73 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 1: here yesterday, it wasn't thirty three. But uh, you know, 74 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 1: he's he's doing a lot. He's he's he's working hard 75 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 1: and he's just trying to He's you know, that's part 76 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 1: of being a young punter in this league. You're just 77 00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 1: trying to figure it out. And I think he's on 78 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 1: his way to figure it out. You know a lot 79 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 1: about history and more and all that stuff in the postseason. 80 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,599 Speaker 1: Seems like every postseason run has a big special Teams moment, 81 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 1: whether it's Times or the one in San Francisco. Gary 82 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 1: Reason's going going back. Do you remind you guys of 83 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,599 Speaker 1: that at all? Here?

Um, 85 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:34,840 Speaker 1: but for us, the most important thing is the game 86 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 1: out in front of us, and you know, it's it's 87 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:40,320 Speaker 1: special being in this place. Uh we always point to 88 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 1: the wall. We're in the meeting room. We talk about 89 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 1: you know, Lawrence Taylor and and Carl Banks and those 90 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 1: guys playing on special teams and uh, you know, it's 91 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 1: it's always been a part of this organization.

Obviously LTS kicks, 99 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 1: I mean Lawrence's kicks, um, you know in Green Bay 100 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,839 Speaker 1: and being in that environment and just over the years 101 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,320 Speaker 1: the history of it, I miss, it's it's been pretty big. 102 00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 1: I guess Week seventeen back then and oh seven, that 103 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 1: last week where I'm sure Coughlin came to you guys 104 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 1: and said we're playing and I I just remember, but 105 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 1: that week leading up to the obviously the week was 106 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 1: you know, coming out of there once say, we came 107 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,800 Speaker 1: off the Buffalo game and it was just all the 108 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 1: hype in New England.
