1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,520 Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, that's it's one of those unfortunate plays. 2 00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:05,680 Speaker 1: You know, we talked so much about communication, and anytime 3 00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:08,480 Speaker 1: those balls are on the ground, we're always you know, 4 00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:11,520 Speaker 1: trying to communicate, Uh, you know, communicate to our other 5 00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:13,319 Speaker 1: guys across the field to kind of get off the 6 00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:16,840 Speaker 1: field because you hate to have those turnovers to put 7 00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:20,800 Speaker 1: our defense in a tough position. But in that circumstance, 8 00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:23,040 Speaker 1: you know, I sit there on the sidelines trying to think, 9 00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:24,599 Speaker 1: how could I coach it different? How could I what 10 00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:28,720 Speaker 1: could I tell him? The punt was so short. Uh, 11 00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:30,800 Speaker 1: there's nothing I can tell him. You know, he's doing 12 00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:32,680 Speaker 1: his job. He's doing a good job, you know, doing 13 00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:36,080 Speaker 1: a good job block in his his gunner, And unfortunately, 14 00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:38,199 Speaker 1: I think it's one of those unique circumstances where it 15 00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:41,199 Speaker 1: was such a short punt. Uh. You know, Jamal was 16 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:45,400 Speaker 1: running up there trying to communicate, but he's thirty yards away. Uh, 17 00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:48,239 Speaker 1: it's tough to communicate that. And I think it's one 18 00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:50,519 Speaker 1: of those unfortunate deals. I don't think there's much I 19 00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:52,320 Speaker 1: can he can do different, or I can do different 20 00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:55,000 Speaker 1: with that. When you look at the next point that 21 00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:58,320 Speaker 1: Tom picked up to the cross midfield didn't. Did you 22 00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:02,720 Speaker 1: think that that touched Chris at all? Well? I was 23 00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:05,480 Speaker 1: too close for comfort and on the field I was 24 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,040 Speaker 1: not sure either, um. And one of the first thing 25 00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:11,080 Speaker 1: I asked t C was, Uh, what did you think? 26 00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 1: He said, I didn't know, and I thought the best 27 00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:14,280 Speaker 1: move was to to to pick it up and run. 28 00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:16,759 Speaker 1: And I don't blame him for that as well. Um, 29 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:19,280 Speaker 1: it's something that's kind of such a unique play. I 30 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 1: think because you don't see these punters are so good, 31 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:26,160 Speaker 1: you rarely see punts that short that are this concerning. UM. 32 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 1: But it definitely as that game progressed, Um, I had 33 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 1: to really think how did I want to play it? 34 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 1: And was there You know, it kind of takes away 35 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 1: potentially bailers and some of those other things that have 36 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 1: more guys down the field. It prevents you from having 37 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,240 Speaker 1: because you're you're concerned. It is a concern because those 38 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:45,000 Speaker 1: are game changing plays that could they could be a 39 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 1: big impact on the the second one hit Chris at all, 40 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,320 Speaker 1: It didn't It didn't hit him, but that was a concern. 41 00:01:52,400 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 1: There a word or word for field like when that Yeah, 42 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:03,559 Speaker 1: the kind of universals Peter, and that's what everybody uses Peter, 43 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 1: Peter Peter, all right, yeah, you don't change that from No. 44 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 1: I think it goes back a million years ago. That's 45 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,080 Speaker 1: that's what it was called when I was playing, and 46 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,960 Speaker 1: it's still called pretty much universal across the league. More. 47 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 1: I guess, upbeat, where were you when Riley was kicking? 48 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,960 Speaker 1: And what were your emotions when you saw it go through? 49 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,240 Speaker 1: I was, well, first off my position. You know, some 50 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,800 Speaker 1: of the coaches you know, were so confident they started 51 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 1: taking off headsets and and all that stuff, where I thought, 52 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 1: I'm not moving a bit. I didn't move from my spot, 53 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,120 Speaker 1: from my stance. Um. I did not talk to him 54 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,480 Speaker 1: like I wouldn't on any other kick. Wanted to treat 55 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 1: it just like any you know, every other kick he's 56 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 1: had in uh, you know, in the first first game 57 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 1: of the regular season. Um, and that's exactly what he did. Um, 58 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 1: you know, it was you know, it was out there. 59 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 1: I was nervous, of course, but nothing but trust in 60 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 1: our operation from you know, from Ross to Logan with 61 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,520 Speaker 1: the hold and then the kick. He's just been so 62 00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 1: consistent this season. Uh, you know that we just trust 63 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,840 Speaker 1: him in those x and those situations, and you know, 64 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 1: even when they iced them. It was you know, it 65 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,359 Speaker 1: was almost laughable to me. Um, you know, as far 66 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 1: as that's part of the process, the other team is 67 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 1: gonna do that and then just get back to what 68 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 1: we do. Let's just get back to to to the 69 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,639 Speaker 1: normal kick, the normal everything do it. It It played exactly 70 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:18,640 Speaker 1: like you do every other kick, and it's exactly what 71 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 1: he did. And uh to see it go through. You know, 72 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 1: obviously any game winners are huge, Uh that alone in 73 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 1: the playoffs. So just the game on the line. Uh, 74 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:28,920 Speaker 1: you know, it's a it's a big deal for the team, 75 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 1: big big deal for the organization where we're headed. It 76 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 1: was another give us another opportunity this week to be 77 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 1: out here, you know, practicing with each other, playing this week. 78 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 1: It's just it's a cool deal for the team. The 79 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 1: only time of Robbins must two in one games last 80 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 1: Gangas City game. Since then, stray game didn't pointing, Uh, 81 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 1: how he's bad. I think he just got back to 82 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 1: what he does. You know, he's been a consistent kicker, 83 00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 1: you know over his short career. Uh, and just getting 84 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 1: back to he you know what he does and it's 85 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 1: just his just all his fundamentals, all his footwork, all 86 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 1: his technique and just getting back to the details of 87 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 1: it um and he's just been great for us. I 88 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 1: mean there's not very many kickers across the league of 89 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 1: hit you know, a percentage like that to end this 90 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,159 Speaker 1: season and then clutch kicks in the playoffs is is 91 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,920 Speaker 1: big and just builds his confidence and and the team's 92 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,600 Speaker 1: confidence in him. You know, as it turns out that 93 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,679 Speaker 1: he gets the Titans the GQ goals in the second 94 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:29,839 Speaker 1: half of you won by four, even with it, he 95 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,240 Speaker 1: has to play that you need those six points as 96 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 1: much as you needed Johnson six isn't Yeah, I mean 97 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 1: those are big. I mean special teams was a big 98 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 1: impact on that game. We had some good returns by Jamal, 99 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:41,800 Speaker 1: great job by those guys, but those those field goals 100 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 1: were big in that game. And uh, you know, coming 101 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 1: down in the playoffs or or a game like that 102 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 1: where the divisions on the line, special teams has a 103 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 1: big impact because they're they're all within three or seven 104 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,280 Speaker 1: one score games and you know they're all those points 105 00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 1: are so big and so it'll be in big impact 106 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 1: on this game as well. We gotta make all our kicks, 107 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 1: we gotta cover the field, we gotta do all those 108 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 1: things because special teams is is gonna be a huge 109 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 1: portion in this game. Is there something about the temperatures 110 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 1: Saturday night that the ball didn't seem to be carrying 111 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 1: as focused? Even Logan didn't have that usual you know, 112 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 1: juice on on his plants either. I'm just wondering to 113 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 1: get the cold temperatures. Yeah, anytime, anytime there's colder temperatures, 114 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 1: the ball is not gonna fly as well. Um, you know, 115 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,560 Speaker 1: it wasn't flying as well for those guys as you know, 116 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 1: for their team as well. So I think that's part 117 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 1: of it. I mean, as the as the temperatures get colder, 118 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 1: even more wind all the weather as a factor. But 119 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 1: the reality is, uh, both teams have to deal with it. 120 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,279 Speaker 1: You know, we're gonna have some potential weather this weekend. 121 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:42,920 Speaker 1: They have to kick and punt it just like we do. 122 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 1: And that's why I always look at uh, you know, 123 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:48,039 Speaker 1: our goals each week is to beat the other, you know, 124 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 1: beat the opponent in their net versus our net and 125 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 1: our coverage versus there's because it's each week is different. 126 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,720 Speaker 1: You know, if it's a eighty degree day and Jacksonville 127 00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,159 Speaker 1: is way different than a forty degree day with a 128 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,560 Speaker 1: little bit of breeze or wind. You know, your nets 129 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,799 Speaker 1: are gonna be different, the coverage gonna be different, everything 130 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 1: is gonna be completely different. Or would you have been 131 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 1: comfortable Riley kicking a field goal in anything but a 132 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 1: game ending situation? That those are you know, uh, schematical 133 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,479 Speaker 1: stuff that we talked about obviously, and it changes within 134 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:21,719 Speaker 1: the game and depending on the weather, depending on the 135 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,159 Speaker 1: direction we were going. Uh, the wind was blow in 136 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 1: that direction, and so we felt comfortable he had some 137 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,040 Speaker 1: more range. The good part about it was we had 138 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,840 Speaker 1: that big, that big, long twenty five yard run that 139 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 1: really helped us out a ton. Uh, he had some 140 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 1: more legs. We could have gone, you know. Uh, we 141 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,839 Speaker 1: felt comfortable a little further out. But the beauty of it, 142 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 1: the offense did fantastic put us in that great position 143 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:43,920 Speaker 1: to get there.
