00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:12,920
Speaker 1: Welcome to the ozone Podcast presented by by Star Credit

2
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:17,759
Speaker 1: Union with Jaguars senior writer John Osan. I'm excited about

3
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 1: this week's guest because, you know, he plays the position

4
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:22,959
Speaker 1: that we don't talk to him a whole lot, but

5
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 1: right now he's playing at positions so well, they's almost

6
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 1: forced our hand. You know, it's Jaguars punter Logan Cook

7
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 1: who is turning in or has turned into one of

8
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:36,239
Speaker 1: the best punters in the NFL. Logan, first of all,

9
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:38,879
Speaker 1: thanks for joining us. I appreciate Oh yeah, I appreciate

10
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 1: you having me do this a whole lot. Well, it's uh,

11
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 1: it's probably I don't know if it's prejudice or just uh,

12
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:50,840
Speaker 1: you know, not in our view. But all of a sudden,

13
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:53,239
Speaker 1: I look up and you've got fifty two point four

14
00:00:53,360 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 1: yards seven point eight net, leading the league in both categories. Um,

15
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 1: did you expect this? Are you peeking towards this? I

16
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 1: guess what I'm saying is you follow your career, you

17
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:09,679
Speaker 1: you know where you are. Have you been building towards

18
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 1: this steadily? Yeah? I think, uh, even the past my

19
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 1: first three seasons, I think that, um, you know, progressing

20
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 1: throughout the year and then and in the season I

21
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 1: would get a lot more comfortable, and um we ended

22
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:23,679
Speaker 1: up still turning in as a team. I really use

23
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: a net uh mainly as a category you want to

24
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 1: look at, because that's the whole, entire point team as

25
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: a unit. And there's plenty of time, especially Week one

26
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 1: where I didn't hit a great ball but they bailed

27
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:36,040
Speaker 1: me out. Um So, ned, I think there's there's times

28
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 1: past three years we ended you know very well. But um,

29
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 1: I think starting was always a thing for me that

30
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 1: I just had, you know, kind of getting a groove.

31
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 1: But for some reason we started in a groove kind

32
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 1: of this year. So hopefully we can keep riding that

33
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 1: now fifty two point four yards Again, I'm an old man, logan,

34
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 1: I can remember when you know, forty two or forty

35
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: three led the league. Um, you know, it's astronomical now

36
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 1: compared you know when I was. Why do you think

37
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 1: that is our guys just better now? Or are you

38
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:08,079
Speaker 1: better athletes? Is it technique? Uh? You know, you know,

39
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 1: because it's mind boggling how much further guys kick the

40
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 1: ball out? Right? Yeah? I don't know, man, I think

41
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: it's accumulation of everything. It's accumulation of UM guys being

42
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,839
Speaker 1: better athletes. I think, Um, I think that's really something

43
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 1: you see in punters especially, even kickers too, and long

44
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,799
Speaker 1: snappers as well. But the special special teams categories kind

45
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 1: of turned into a lot more athletic guys. You look

46
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 1: at some of the guys are in the league that

47
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 1: can sling the football, like the Johnny Heckers and stuff

48
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:33,119
Speaker 1: like those are kind of the guys that I want

49
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 1: to emulate and be, you know, be that guy. I

50
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 1: want to be the guy that you know, every time

51
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: we play someone that special teams coordinators talking about, hey,

52
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 1: you know, we gotta be on our toes, this, this

53
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 1: and that. UM. But you know, I think it's probably

54
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 1: a lot to do with being more athletic and stuff.

55
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: And UM, hopefully I've kind of fit into that category

56
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: a little bit. Now, you completed some passes. I'm sure

57
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 1: you know the stat but what do you what is

58
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,519
Speaker 1: your stat line as a passer? Um? I know it.

59
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 1: We're three for three, that's all I know. So hopefully

60
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 1: we can get some more. Did you don't have? But

61
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 1: you got to stay? Yeah, you don't forget those well,

62
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 1: and I guess if you go three for or if

63
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 1: you go over for two. You're not getting anymore right, No, yeah,

64
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 1: you're your first to your first one kind of termins it.

65
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 1: But if you don't, if you go out for on

66
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 1: the second one, you're not You're not throwing another one.

67
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: There's a lot of pressure on those balls. That's Uh,

68
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,079
Speaker 1: where are you better? I guess you mentioned it, But

69
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 1: is it just consistency now or are you just better

70
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 1: overall than you were you maybe eighteen or nineteen. Um,

71
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 1: we gotta remember this week too. You know, there's a

72
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: lot of good punners out there who have only had

73
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 1: you know, inside the twenty. You look at the point

74
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: of we played last week. Sam Martin one of the

75
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 1: still one of the best punterers in the league now,

76
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 1: but um, like he he stayed in midfield the whole time,

77
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 1: and so his stat line is gonna be a little

78
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: shorter when it comes to the averages and the nets

79
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: and the inside the twenties will be more so. Um,

80
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:52,119
Speaker 1: the way I kind of look at it, if week

81
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 1: ten you're you're up here, then you can start kind

82
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 1: of feeling I mean, you still need to stay within

83
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 1: your head, but you can start you know, saying, hey,

84
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 1: are our units doing pretty good? You know, Um, that's

85
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 1: something we look at as a unit. You know, right

86
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 1: now we're kind of keeping our head down and grinding.

87
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 1: But when it comes later in the season, then we

88
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 1: can kind of look up and enjoy it. But um, yeah,

89
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 1: and I assume you take pride in you know, it's

90
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 1: not like you're just back there kicking the ball as

91
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: far as you can every uh punt. There's different situations

92
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:19,279
Speaker 1: so much I assume you take a lot of pride

93
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: in being able to handle whatever they ask you to do. Yeah,

94
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 1: and um, you know, coach Warrenson um is super super

95
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:26,599
Speaker 1: open to let us do we want to do as

96
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 1: far as direction wise right the win. And there's a

97
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,040
Speaker 1: lot of different punts we hit. You know, you might

98
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 1: see the banana bar ever now. And then those are

99
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: things I learned once I got in the league. Um,

100
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: I mean I did play in the SEC, but the

101
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: returners in the league are just I mean different breeds.

102
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: So the Tyreek kills Mcole Harman's those kind of guys

103
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 1: like you gotta come up with something too, especially we're

104
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 1: playing a guy like that. They don't need to touch

105
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 1: the ball of the entire game. So for me, I

106
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 1: gotta find a way that hey, I can hit this

107
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,280
Speaker 1: banana ball out of bounds, or that he's not gonna

108
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,040
Speaker 1: want to catch it. And there's a whole lot more

109
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 1: to punting than I knew in college. Um, just kind

110
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,720
Speaker 1: of getting in the league now that I've really learned

111
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,040
Speaker 1: and got a lot more comfortable with it, said, not

112
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 1: just going back there and kicking as far as you can.

113
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 1: You know you're out of the league if you try

114
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 1: to do that. So the Jaguars this offseason they approached

115
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 1: you and and you got a second contract done. What

116
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,600
Speaker 1: did that mean to you? Because that's not a given, No,

117
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 1: it's not. Um, it's definitely a blessing. I mean it's

118
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 1: it's one I didn't think I'd be in the NFL

119
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: in general, even after my last college game. I was

120
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:22,919
Speaker 1: ready to go to work and and and do that

121
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 1: kind of thing. And then so one that was a

122
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 1: blessing to be in the league and how to be

123
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 1: able to keep playing and do that man for my

124
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 1: family and just you know, being able to live the

125
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: life I want to live. Um, it's incredible and it's

126
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 1: something I never thought i'd be doing. But I'm here

127
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 1: and I'm enjoying the heck out of it. Where were

128
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 1: you headed if you didn't think it was football? What

129
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 1: would you be doing if it wasn't football? Um, well,

130
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 1: that's a great conversation. Um, I really don't know something.

131
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 1: I my degree was in the sports administration field, but

132
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:50,840
Speaker 1: I think i'd be want to do something the hunting

133
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 1: industry right now, So, um, that's probably what i'd be doing.

134
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:55,840
Speaker 1: I gotta ask you in the media guy, I think

135
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: I've talked to you about this before, and if I have,

136
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:03,359
Speaker 1: my apologies. The turkey call business, Um, it takes me

137
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 1: through that. How how big is that we're doing? Well?

138
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,280
Speaker 1: That was the thing we we had deer in college.

139
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 1: It was me and a few buddies, a couple of

140
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 1: my roommates. Actually, we had a little shop in our

141
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:16,279
Speaker 1: um in our backyard, and one of my guys, uh,

142
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,280
Speaker 1: one of my roommates was a forestry were both of

143
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:19,840
Speaker 1: our forestrym major. Just one of them picked up a

144
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 1: lathe I think from his grandpa's shop or something and

145
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 1: started turning some calls and um said, hey, we can

146
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 1: kind of do something with this, and so we just

147
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:28,919
Speaker 1: kind of jumped on it and a few years in

148
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 1: college we did it and made a little cash and

149
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 1: it was you know, it was a fun little thing

150
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 1: to do. And then when I got here, obviously I

151
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,600
Speaker 1: don't have the time to keep that going. But um,

152
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 1: me and my wife did start a show with a

153
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 1: hunt show with Massioak this year, um a little mostly

154
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 1: just turkey hunts and stuff, just kind of document in

155
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:44,599
Speaker 1: places we were going throughout the country. It was pretty cool.

156
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 1: It was a fun experience. It's it's a little work,

157
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 1: but um, you know, that's just something I have a

158
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:50,600
Speaker 1: lot of passion for me and her both. Um So

159
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 1: being able to do that was pretty cool. And obviously

160
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 1: the football, um, I guess the aspect we have now

161
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 1: football kind of helps promote it. Now let's get a

162
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 1: little shout out. She's going through a lot right now,

163
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,599
Speaker 1: your wife Mary, and she's about three weeks out from

164
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:09,559
Speaker 1: the first child, right, yep, that's it, So it's getting down.

165
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: Do we know yet? Boy? Girl? Are we there? We don't.

166
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: That was kind of her idea too. It was, you know,

167
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 1: I didn't really care we found out or not, but

168
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 1: to start off, she didn't want to find out, so

169
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 1: I was kind of on board with it. And then

170
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 1: I think about three weeks after our first doctor visit.

171
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 1: She was like, Okay, let's find out. I'm like, well, no,

172
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: we know were started it now, so that's exciting too.

173
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 1: But she's killing it. So I'm guessing you don't get

174
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: a lot of sympathy when you come home these days. No,

175
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 1: I don't. I had a little cold a couple weeks

176
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: ago and I didn't. I didn't even ask for sympathy.

177
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 1: I got you. When did this star look? I mean, uh,

178
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 1: in terms of your punting, did you always know? Did

179
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 1: you start in high school or how did this start?

180
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 1: And when did you know you were gonna be good

181
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 1: at it? Well? Um, I think as a kid, I

182
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 1: got a picture for when I was probably three years old.

183
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 1: My Grandpa's holding football and I'm kicking it. So I

184
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 1: kinda ever since I was little, I've always been kicking,

185
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 1: kicking footballs. But even on the playground and stuff, I

186
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 1: was probably the annoying kid that wanted to kick it. Um.

187
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 1: But I was also always the quarterback, you know, on

188
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 1: the playground, so that was kind of more the PATHOU

189
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 1: was taken. And I think once I got into close

190
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 1: to high school, I figured out that I could really

191
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 1: ride the punt train, and you know, you know, make

192
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 1: it somewhere and get to college and be able to

193
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 1: live live my dream easier than actually being a quarterback.

194
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 1: So now I should know this too. Uh full ride

195
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 1: right out of high school, which doesn't always happen either. See,

196
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 1: you you were good from the start. You knew you

197
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 1: had it. It was just a matter of you know,

198
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: but you didn't know you were going to make it

199
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 1: in the league. No, I didn't. Um, I knew just

200
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 1: because there would be some scouts at practice and stuff

201
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:40,199
Speaker 1: my senior year, UM watching the punt period and that

202
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 1: stuff that uses the scouts to go over there and

203
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,320
Speaker 1: talk to their buddies and not watch the period, so

204
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,959
Speaker 1: they would watch. And I had a good long snapper

205
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,839
Speaker 1: in college as well, so um, I didn't even know

206
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,199
Speaker 1: if they're watching me or him. But um, even man

207
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 1: going into workouts, I only had a couple of workouts,

208
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:57,439
Speaker 1: didn't go to UM any games, you know, senior bowls,

209
00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 1: didn't go to the Combine, so I really wasn't thinking

210
00:08:59,920 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 1: of about the word about it. And then I had

211
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 1: obviously did good enough for a a couple of workouts in

212
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: pro days where I kind of started getting some you know,

213
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 1: some some calls. So that was neat. So how do

214
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 1: you you know, in the off season, Um, how do

215
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 1: you try to get better at this? Are you on

216
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,960
Speaker 1: a high school field punting in the off season or

217
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 1: what's your offseason routine? And how do you focus on

218
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 1: stuff you're trying to get better at. Man, I've plunted

219
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 1: in high school field, up putting in the backyards, um,

220
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 1: soccer fields, baseball fields, pretty much wherever I can get um,

221
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 1: because I'm back and forth between here and home a

222
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 1: good bit. So, but that's pretty much it, you know, especially,

223
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 1: I don't really start kicking a whole lot until probably,

224
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 1: um gets closer to March. Um, my rookie year. I

225
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 1: started kicking pretty early, probably February. And then I talked

226
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 1: to a few veteran guys and learned that's not really

227
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 1: a thing because if you want to do this for

228
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 1: a long time, you can't be kicking tent out of

229
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 1: you know, twelve months. Um. So really it's just a

230
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 1: consistency thing, and you want to take a few months

231
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 1: off kind of a picture throwing kind of the same

232
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 1: same concept. And um, but yeah, consistency, you said, that's

233
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 1: really kind of the main thing you want to focus on.

234
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 1: And then I obviously try to get better at something

235
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 1: each year. You know, so you're also a holder, um,

236
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 1: always been a holder or yeah, um through college. I

237
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 1: remember in high school teaching my holder how to hold. UM,

238
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 1: So that was kind of Uh, I knew how obviously

239
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 1: I couldn't hold in high school because I was kicking,

240
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 1: and then um, college and I think my freshman year

241
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,080
Speaker 1: back held and then UM I took his job the

242
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 1: next year or so. That's kind of how I like

243
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 1: to say it. What's the hardest part about that? Um,

244
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,440
Speaker 1: thinking you have an unbelievable kicker sitting there and if

245
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 1: I mess something up, then he most likely doesn't make

246
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 1: the field goal. You know. Um, you know, take me

247
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 1: through this. You kicked off the last couple of years.

248
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 1: But is it a hard fast rule that when Josh

249
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 1: is playing you don't kick off or how does that work?

250
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 1: Is it? Sort of? Honestly, it's been kind of different.

251
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 1: I just kind of sit on, g went on. Oh,

252
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 1: that's kind of how I feel it comes. Kicking off,

253
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 1: just kicking, you know, one or two during the week,

254
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,560
Speaker 1: just kind of stay fresh because UM, I think I

255
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 1: came from my rookie year he had an injury or something.

256
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 1: But I came in and kicked off and then um

257
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 1: sometimes I think my second season maybe we split reps.

258
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 1: And last year obviously he had an injury, so um,

259
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's just worked out the whe Every

260
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:18,679
Speaker 1: year I ended up kicking off some and so I'm

261
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 1: ready whenever it comes. Maybe flying on their mactacle is

262
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 1: that emotion? I mean I told the same kickers before,

263
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 1: kickers and punters, and obviously the punting and kicking motion

264
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 1: are so dramatically different. When you're trying to kick fuel goals.

265
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 1: Is that a different Uh? Is it tricky when you're

266
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,680
Speaker 1: trying to kick off to also punt or is that

267
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 1: something you can do? Could sit there? I told you

268
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,599
Speaker 1: guys who struggle with it. Yeah, now you're right. Um,

269
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 1: you look at a lot of kickers who obviously have

270
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 1: coming and try to back up punting. They're really gonna

271
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 1: be swinging across the ball. And because that's more of

272
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 1: the kicking than nights for kicking motion, the same with

273
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 1: you watching me kick off, and a lot of punters

274
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 1: throughout to leave the actually kick off when they kick,

275
00:11:57,400 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: you know, kick the ball to kickoff, they swing more

276
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 1: right like they would punt. Whether you see like a

277
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,080
Speaker 1: you know, a field goal kicker kicking off, it's more

278
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 1: of him cutting across the ball because that's some more

279
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 1: natural motion for him. So it is. But you know,

280
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:10,559
Speaker 1: if for me, I feel like when I'm kicking off,

281
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 1: I'm a little more looser throughout the game because if

282
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 1: you're not putting your most likely kicking off, um, so

283
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:17,559
Speaker 1: you can kind of stay loose throughout the game a

284
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 1: little easier. Is that something you have to drill a

285
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 1: whole lot if you not really man honestly, honestly kick

286
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 1: off a sea ball, hit ball as hard as you can,

287
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: and that's that's pretty much it with a little direction. Okay.

288
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 1: The last thing we do on this we call it

289
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 1: the ozone five five. It's five quick questions. We have

290
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 1: some fun with it. Logan Cook, what's your last binge watch?

291
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 1: Binge wash Bloodline was probably my last games watch. It

292
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,680
Speaker 1: was pretty good. The last song you heard in the

293
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,319
Speaker 1: car on the way in this morning, oh this morning,

294
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 1: I don't know. I was slipping between country and some

295
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 1: worship music I can't remember. It was probably a ren

296
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,560
Speaker 1: collective song, Resurrection Day. I think that was my my

297
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 1: last want to listen to. Best sport other than football, baseball.

298
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 1: I was. I was a good picture. I wouldn't say

299
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 1: I can hit the ball great, but I pitched in

300
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:09,559
Speaker 1: college for half a year. That's right, that's right. My

301
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 1: bad got you didn't make it. So apparently I wasn't
