1 00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:03,080 Speaker 1: So if I interrupted there when I walked in, I'm 2 00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:07,520 Speaker 1: used to guys being behind the camera. You're expecting the 3 00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:10,840 Speaker 1: virtual I was, yeah, well, I haven't been in here 4 00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:15,680 Speaker 1: since twenty twenty. Lastly, David Andrews City was expecting virtually 5 00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:18,840 Speaker 1: he was, I would have showered if I knew, Yeah, 6 00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:24,360 Speaker 1: I showered. Would that mean to hear that from Matthews? 7 00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:26,759 Speaker 1: Pretty would speak his mind with you anytime? But you 8 00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:32,280 Speaker 1: know that's pretty nice. Yeah. He's a great person person foremost, 9 00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:35,000 Speaker 1: but a great football player. And he makes my job 10 00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:38,120 Speaker 1: easy because he leads from the front. He chose the 11 00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:42,000 Speaker 1: whole team how we should be off the field, act 12 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,680 Speaker 1: off the field, and act on the field. And he's 13 00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:48,800 Speaker 1: a really good leader. I know there was some question 14 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:53,400 Speaker 1: going into the off season whether Matthew and and Bethel 15 00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,400 Speaker 1: and Cody would all be back. I know that all 16 00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:59,480 Speaker 1: their situations were a little influx. How beneficial is it 17 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:03,360 Speaker 1: to you to have a tho it's huge. Um Me, 18 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 1: playing the position I play, I kinda try and put 19 00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,400 Speaker 1: the ball in a certain place and hope my guys 20 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,319 Speaker 1: can go down there and execute. And when I have 21 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:16,080 Speaker 1: those three guys along with Brandon Bolda and Joe Cardona, 22 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:19,199 Speaker 1: Brandon King, so many other guys running down there covering 23 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:23,120 Speaker 1: punts or kickoffs. Makes my job a lot easier and 24 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:27,440 Speaker 1: a lot less stressful. You mentioned Joe, You guys kind 25 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:28,800 Speaker 1: of you know, you have a break working from me. 26 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,320 Speaker 1: It's heart a little bit during camp. Well he came back, 27 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:33,080 Speaker 1: was it? You know, was there any ross? Was it? 28 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:35,160 Speaker 1: Like he hadn't left and just been working with him? 29 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,559 Speaker 1: Now that he's back, Joe and I've been together for 30 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,440 Speaker 1: over two years i think now, and it was just 31 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:45,200 Speaker 1: like old times easy getting back with him, and it 32 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:50,000 Speaker 1: was learning phase kind of not having him there, But 33 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 1: it was helpful for everybody involved with it. It's part 34 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:57,000 Speaker 1: of training camp. Gotta get used to different situations. You know, 35 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 1: you're a lot of accolades and all call of stuff. 36 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:04,800 Speaker 1: What do you do to you know, one, not get 37 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 1: complacent and to improve when you start to have success 38 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:11,320 Speaker 1: like that, it's easy to not get complacent. Here at 39 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,840 Speaker 1: the Patriots, everybody's onto the next, onto this practice, this 40 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 1: next rep. And you got again guys like Matt Slater 41 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 1: who have accolades like that and lead from the front 42 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,080 Speaker 1: and show you how to do it over again. And 43 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,919 Speaker 1: it's not about the accolades at all. It's about performing 44 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,519 Speaker 1: each rep in practice and then that carries on into 45 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 1: the games. And if you take care of stuff in 46 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:35,519 Speaker 1: the games, everything else is taken care of. You see 47 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 1: how they they lost their punt through the Jets last week, 48 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 1: And yeah, he's just stud. He's just stud. I've never 49 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:48,080 Speaker 1: met him before, but he put on a good performance. Yeah. Yeah, 50 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,080 Speaker 1: And I did want to ask you just on your 51 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,680 Speaker 1: first one last week, can you just I know it's 52 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 1: five days removed, but the way we're set up here 53 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,360 Speaker 1: and this is like the first dance weeke, Yeah, wouldn't 54 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,119 Speaker 1: curiously like what happened on that It wasn't a good 55 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,920 Speaker 1: hit by me at all. Um. I kind of took 56 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 1: the play out of Matt and Justin's hands, where I 57 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 1: kind of usually rely on them to go down there 58 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 1: and either catch the ball or down it. And it 59 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,960 Speaker 1: was a bad hit. I wasn't in control of the 60 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 1: hit and it went too far. And about kicking in MetLife, 61 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 1: what have you learned just about that venue in terms 62 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 1: of the challenges that it presents someone in your position? Um? 63 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 1: Metlife's nice. It's um obviously an outdoor venue, but pretty enclosed. 64 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 1: So the wind doesn't get too too bad, so looking 65 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:51,119 Speaker 1: forward to going out there and playing. Were Yeah, it 66 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 1: was just an accuracy drill. So normally I'm in the 67 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 1: middle of the field trying to punt to the side 68 00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 1: of the field. So there I was trying to punt 69 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,040 Speaker 1: from the side of the field to the middle of 70 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 1: the field, and the goalposts are a good kind of 71 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 1: marker for if I punt it through those. We were wrong. 72 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 1: We actually thought you were trying to hit us. Sorry, 73 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 1: I might have gotten too close. I'm sorry. Yeah, okay, thanks, 74 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 1: thank you guys.
