He has 43 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:43,400 Speaker 1: that feel for it. 44 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 3: He did it when he was Tennessee a Vrabel, He's 45 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 3: done it through his career. He's already got one block 46 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 3: this year. The one block they've had on fieldal block 47 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:53,000 Speaker 3: was from him. So some or is he just feeling 48 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 3: he's not on put now, he's not. 49 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 2: Jeremy Looking at Andy bor Dallas, I'm assuming you were 50 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 2: involved in the drafting process, with looking at kickers, can 51 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 2: you recall something other than he was very talented that 52 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 2: you remember watching him talking to him, something that's stuck 53 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,079 Speaker 2: out for you, like that he would. 54 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:12,799 Speaker 3: Be the guy. Yeah, I think I said it when 55 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:14,839 Speaker 3: we drafted him. His people ask me, you know, why 56 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,960 Speaker 3: why draft him? And I said, you know, along from 57 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,919 Speaker 3: being making a lot of kicks, he's very his mentality 58 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 3: is just like this every time I said that a 59 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 3: lot of times, like he just even killed, Like the 60 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 3: moment's never too big or too low for him. So 61 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 3: it doesn't matter what game you're in, what price you're in. 62 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:31,639 Speaker 3: He might miss one, but he's gonna be the same 63 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 3: guy in the next field goal. You might get one 64 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:35,519 Speaker 3: blocked up against Miami, he goes and he hits the 65 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:36,679 Speaker 3: fifty nine yard on the next one. 66 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 1: So there's just nothing's there too high, too low for him. 67 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:42,400 Speaker 3: He listens very well to coaching, very very cerebral about 68 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,639 Speaker 3: that and receptive to that, and it's it's paid off 69 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 3: for him and they'll continue to pay off. 70 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 2: I think I did see that though before drafting him, 71 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 2: or did you see. 72 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, Because you go through the draft process, you know, 73 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 3: you interview all these guys, you're around them to go, 74 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:56,960 Speaker 3: you know, eat a meal with them and his family 75 00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,800 Speaker 3: and or his girlfriend at the time, and you talk 76 00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 3: to the coaches extensively. So we did our homework and 77 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 3: it was able to do that through that process and 78 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:06,000 Speaker 3: understand what kind of guy he was. 79 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 2: Jeremy No touched that a kickoffs last week. Is that 80 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,639 Speaker 2: inside of confidence in the kickoff unit? 81 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,240 Speaker 3: Or is that over certain five just schematically, you know, 82 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 3: feel like you know when you go into games, certain 83 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 3: games you know, depending on how they are on kickoff 84 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 3: return or how you're doing on kickoff, and then also 85 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:24,959 Speaker 3: like who's our quarterback right, so if we can you know, 86 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,239 Speaker 3: pin him inside the thirty yard line instead of thirty five, 87 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 3: that helps a lot. 88 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 1: This is five yards of the five yards the five yards. 89 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 3: So it's just going game by game and just making 90 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 3: sure you feel confident that week in your scheme and 91 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 3: who you're playing against, and and then that's how you're 92 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 3: going to attack. 93 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:40,840 Speaker 2: How can you think it's C. J. Street as the quarterback? 94 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 3: I don't watch a lot of film on that. Stick 95 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 3: to special teams. Man on one third phase. I focus 96 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 3: on special teams. How can I do the best I can? 97 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 3: I don't even know the guys, I have no idea 98 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 3: all valuable as Marcus Jones from respective both experience. 99 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, judgment decision making, that's a huge. 100 00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 3: That's a great question because like in some in our 101 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 3: game last week, a couple of four punts then he 102 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 3: ran up and caught them, and that versus a rookie 103 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 3: might peter that and let it roll for an extra 104 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 3: ten yards. That just plays, especially these cold games with 105 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 3: balls won't fly as well. If we can gain ten 106 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 3: or fifteen yards just by fair catching and running up 107 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 3: to get the ball. I mean, getting Drake made the 108 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:16,480 Speaker 3: ball in the fifty versus getting Rake made the ball 109 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:17,039 Speaker 3: in the twenty five. 110 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 1: You know, it always helps. How aggressive lots very aggressive. 111 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 3: He reminds me a lot of DK at Tennessee. Just 112 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,280 Speaker 3: one of those guys who's a bigger, longer body type 113 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 3: can break tackles, but he catches and he goes. Man, 114 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,160 Speaker 3: He's got a lot of speed. If he sees an edge, 115 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,160 Speaker 3: he's going to go and he's dangerous. 116 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 1: Man. He's done a really good job. 117 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 3: They've done a really good job with him over there 118 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,680 Speaker 3: as a rookie being a dual returner, and he's it's 119 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 3: paid dividends for that team. 120 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 2: Darryl Taylor makes a place for the Texans on the 121 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 2: kick cover kend up curious. Do you see a role 122 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 2: for him on special teams as well? 123 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:51,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, as we continue to progress.
