Speaker 2: Yeah, you got connections, connections give that at all.

15
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:50,239
Speaker 4: You could do. You could fund it the screen here

16
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 4: we haven't. Yeah, there you go. Really happy with the practice.

17
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 2: I thought the guys were ready to roll, locked in,

18
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 2: had an next and practice very sharp.

19
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 4: Just what we needed today. So we're on our way

20
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 4: and try to have the best week winning we can have.

21
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 2: Go down there to Washington on Saturday and play. I'll

22
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 2: be mostly the young guys playing in that game, and

23
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 2: and then we'll be on to the bills. What question, Jeff,

24
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,680
Speaker 2: where you wanting to split both of them when the

25
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 2: young guys competing on the veteran started to think about

26
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 2: boom building. Yes, exactly, it'll be it'll be kind of

27
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 2: focused on both of those two things. We do want

28
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 2: to go down there and play, and guys are fighting

29
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,680
Speaker 2: for jobs and for opportunities, and also guys who will

30
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:36,959
Speaker 2: be playing we know are going to make the team

31
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 2: will be playing that game too, uh, to get themselves

32
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 2: ready for what's next in the gain experience. But then

33
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 2: also we'll be practicing for the start of the regular

34
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 2: season two.

35
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 4: Practice with the Canner foin thirday.

36
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 5: Can you tell us thanks for this for can tell

37
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 5: us what kind of went into that a little bit

38
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 5: and does that change the schedule at all or what

39
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 5: how has it changed for you guys.

40
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 2: Well, it changes the schedule in the sense that we

41
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 2: won't schedule around to joint practice. It just didn't work

42
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 2: out timing wise. I mean, they're playing Monday night, they're

43
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 2: playing tonight, so it wasn't going to be the kind

44
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 2: of practice possible that we that we really need this

45
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 2: week for them.

46
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 4: I mean, they're just not a short week.

47
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 2: So to go all the way down there for what

48
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 2: it would have had to have been just didn't make sense.

49
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 4: We both tried.

50
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 2: I mean, we both wanted to do it. I know,

51
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 2: I know DQ wanted to do it. I wanted to

52
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:27,519
Speaker 2: do it. But it's got to work. It's got to

53
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 2: be the best thing for your team. And it just

54
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 2: wouldn't have been the type of practice that would have

55
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:31,239
Speaker 2: been worth going down there for.

56
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 4: So I would have.

57
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 2: Loved to a practice against them because they're so good,

58
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 2: you know, and they do such a good job.

59
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 4: But the timing wasn't right.

60
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 2: John, I don't know if you would have seen it

61
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 2: with the Browns name Joe Flaco the week going to

62
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 2: quarterback of the Scurcy Red thoughts are excitement or reaction

63
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 2: to him probably coming to Baltimore week two. Yeah, I

64
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 2: just focused on that aspect of it. I mean, we

65
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 2: know we play in week two and we'll be preparing

66
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 2: for them now, just you know, you prepare for your

67
00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 2: first really four opponents, you know, in terms of preparation

68
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 2: for those games. So knowing that that he'll be the

69
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 2: starters is good. I'm sure that I think we had

70
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 2: that idea already, probably you can tell. But a lot

71
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,799
Speaker 2: of respect for Joe. Obviously, his homecoming back here will

72
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 2: be a big story. Uh, We'll try to just focus on,

73
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 2: you know, playing the best game we can. But we

74
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 2: know Joe can sling it, you know, we know what

75
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 2: he's capable of doing. We also know what kind of

76
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 2: team they are and how how tough they are to

77
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 2: play against. So that'll be the it won't be the

78
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 2: focus right away directly, but it'll be in the back

79
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 2: of our minds.

80
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 6: Generally get changer you start seeing them, even the preseasons.

81
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 7: I feel like.

82
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 4: That's mom.

83
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 2: It definitely is momentum we want to build for the

84
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 2: season in terms of in terms of gaining turnovers. All

85
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 2: the things that are impactful to winning are the things

86
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 2: we want to gain momentum on and and there's a

87
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 2: lot of those and I thought the guys did a

88
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 2: really good job of that in that last game down

89
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 2: there in Dallas. We did a lot of the things

90
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 2: that winning football teams do, you know, in games. So

91
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 2: I was happy to see that, and I want to

92
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 2: keep building on all those things.

93
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 6: Everything okay with him and really some of the other guys,

94
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 6: I guess in the DBAM runs way.

95
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, the dB room right now is dealing with like

96
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 2: nothing serious in terms of season issues or even even

97
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 2: for the opener, but you know, he had he had something,

98
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 2: you know, just to kind of take care of that knee.

99
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 2: You do some things to kind of help it from

100
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 2: a health standpoint. Something he's been dealing with for a

101
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 2: few years now. So it's not anything we didn't expect.

102
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 2: Probably that we might might have been something to help,

103
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 2: but you had to take a couple of days after

104
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 2: you do that before you can practice. And the same

105
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:33,840
Speaker 2: thing with d Hop, you know, he's you know, he's

106
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 2: an older guy working on his knee a little bit.

107
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 4: So things like that.

108
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 8: Each week's going to be a new experience for Tyler.

109
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 7: Luke.

110
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 8: How did you feel about the latest test in front

111
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 8: of him helping us up.

112
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought he passed it with flying colors, you know,

113
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:48,039
Speaker 2: and even that it was gonna be better.

114
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 4: You know, he could have made.

115
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 2: That kick, uh, the one that went left just over

116
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 2: the upright and then the kickoff you know, came up

117
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 2: a little short on the one.

118
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 4: So he's trying. We're really working hard on the kickoffs.

119
00:04:58,000 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 4: I mean you saw them doing.

120
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 2: It too, trying to find ways to make it tough

121
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 2: for the return team to field the ball. So we're

122
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 2: working on that stuff. Right now too, and not probably

123
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 2: be an ongoing experiment, you know, early in the season.

124
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,839
Speaker 2: I think you'll see some some some strange kicks probably,

125
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 2: you know, to try to make make some things happen.

126
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 4: John, When did you kind of come to this, you know,

127
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:19,479
Speaker 4: where the game was.

128
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 8: It kind of afterwards just trucking a sort.

129
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 4: Of you Tyler?

130
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, uh, pretty much when I stood up there with

131
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:26,720
Speaker 2: when you were sitting there and asked the question pretty much,

132
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 2: That's that's when I decided it seemed like the right

133
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 2: thing to do.

134
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 4: Uh. I think it makes sense.

135
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 2: You know, he's earned it, like we said, and and

136
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 2: he's ready and have have tremendous confidence in him, you know,

137
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:39,839
Speaker 2: and just like all the guys. I mean, he's gonna

138
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 2: go out there and play great.

139
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 6: A lot of chat about the room Lowry, not just

140
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 6: much about day on Martin with on the other night.

141
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:49,280
Speaker 5: Of course, I don't know you were asked about it

142
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 5: the Dallas, But what has stood out to you?

143
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 8: Of course we'll ask you want to sort of elevator.

144
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:55,679
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, Kean.

145
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:59,160
Speaker 2: The first thing is, uh, I think his personality, man,

146
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:02,600
Speaker 2: it's and this is infectious personality. Always smile, and he's

147
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 2: always energetic. He's always readied a role one day, well

148
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 2: in the very first days, because you know, he's kind

149
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 2: of a kind of a trial guy, you know, and

150
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,720
Speaker 2: you know he's fighting for his life from the first day.

151
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 2: He's had to fight for his life like a lot

152
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 2: of guys do every day.

153
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 4: And I saw him early in the morning one morning.

154
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 2: He kind of had this like look on his face

155
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,479
Speaker 2: like he was tired, and you know, kind of like

156
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 2: kind of like that kind of grumpy.

157
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 4: I'm like, why are you grumpy? I mean, you're in

158
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 4: the National Football League. I mean three days ago, where

159
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 4: were you, you know, and here you are.

160
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 2: You'd be walking around here with a smile on your

161
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 2: face and a bounce in your step, buddy, and uh

162
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,159
Speaker 2: and he started laughing. And that's how he's been. I mean,

163
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,480
Speaker 2: he was that way. I think he was probably just early.

164
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 2: I don't know, maybe he hadn't had breakfast yet. But

165
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 2: he's brought that kind of personality to the field, you know,

166
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,559
Speaker 2: he really is. He's into it, and he's played well,

167
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 2: and uh, you know he's making a run at this thing.

168
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 5: John talking to Randy after you you've been trusted your

169
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:56,919
Speaker 5: kicking operation in for a very long time now. I mean,

170
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 5: if you have to sort of boil down why he's

171
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 5: your guy, and you know, obviously again with Tyler, what what.

172
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:03,279
Speaker 4: Is it about?

173
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 2: If I was going to boil it down, I would

174
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 2: say there's a lot of things. I mean, he does

175
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 2: a great job teaching those guys. Is a very good teacher,

176
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 2: and he's been doing it for song. He was a

177
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 2: kicker himself, he was in camp with the Packers about

178
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 2: forty years ago. But I would say it boils out

179
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 2: to me is he knows what he's doing. I mean,

180
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:24,119
Speaker 2: he knows what he's doing. He's a he's a pro,

181
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 2: and he knows what he's looking for. He knows how

182
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 2: to teach. It is the fundamentals that he teaches. He

183
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 2: taught me the fundamentals of kicking way back, you know,

184
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 2: Beck in Philly in the early two thousands. I learned

185
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 2: from him about the kicking technique. So I think it's

186
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 2: very sound and and you know he's just he's been proven.

187
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 2: I mean he's brought the best out and kickers here.

188
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 2: All the kickers have come through the system here. Even

189
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 2: when they didn't become the kicker here, they became the

190
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 2: kicker somewhere else. It kind of shows you, I think,

191
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 2: how how good he is it what he does.

192
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 8: John, any update whatsoever on Emory Jones's.

193
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 2: Situation, Yeah, this pointing it doesn't he's not gonna make

194
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 2: it to the start of the regular season. Uh, I

195
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 2: would say the doctor, the surgeon. The best I can

196
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 2: tell you is, you know, he wants it to make

197
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 2: he wants to be sure that it's fully right, and

198
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 2: and that's that's the way it should be. We respect that,

199
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 2: and so it's gonna take a little longer, so we

200
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 2: won't be counting on him early on in the season.

201
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 4: John Isaaca I R candidate.

202
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, Uh, there was there was some ligament damage in

203
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 2: there with it with a dissocated elbow. If it had

204
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 2: been a dislocated elbow clean, it would have been about

205
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 2: three weeks.

206
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 8: Uh.

207
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 2: Since it's not, it's gonna have to undergo surgery. It's

208
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 2: not a season ender though. Uh maybe midway in the

209
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,320
Speaker 2: season sometime he'll have a chance to come back.

210
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 6: Davis suddenly played a few snaps and yeah.

211
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 4: He's been sick. He's been dealing with some sickness stuff.

212
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,560
Speaker 2: So hit the mask on again today, so hopefully he

213
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:51,680
Speaker 2: can start feeling better.

214
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 8: John do you know, I know it's still three weeks,

215
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 8: but do you have a better sense now by Isaiah

216
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,439
Speaker 8: likely whether he's an option for week more one? Is

217
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,079
Speaker 8: he coming along is rehab?

218
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 2: Well, uh, you know what, I'll have to check on that.

219
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,959
Speaker 2: I don't have that option now. If that, since it's

220
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 2: week one, I'm probably not gonna share that, you know,

221
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 2: as easily as some of these other ones, just because

222
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 2: might want to keep him guessing a little bit on

223
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 2: that one. But it's in that it's always gonna it

224
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,439
Speaker 2: was always going to be in that range for a

225
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 2: few weeks, so that one might be a little harder

226
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 2: to pin down.

227
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 4: It might be hard to pin me down on that one.

228
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 8: We might find out when you guys released a roster.

229
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 2: Right If I R, you might you might get some

230
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:30,840
Speaker 2: I would give you some some If he was on

231
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 2: I R, that'll give you some information. If he's not

232
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 2: an I R, you're not gonna know anymore. All right,

233

00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 5: So every time we talked to John, we talked to

248
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 5: Eric to keep selling this whole offseason.

249
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 8: Already's going to find this kicker, Rainy the Kate tell

250
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 8: us a little bit.

251
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 7: Explained to us.

252
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 5: All went through the process of, you know, going through

253
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 5: scouting these guys and de signing one Tyler.

254
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 7: Sure, Patrick, do we have thirty minutes or is this

255
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 7: a five minutes the deal? You know, Jamison, For all

256
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:43,719
Speaker 7: the years I've been evaluating kickers, punters, long snappers, there

257
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 7: is a process I have.

258
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 3: But this year was a little different.

259
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 7: This year was I kind of had to narrow it

260
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 7: down and being fortunate at the NFL, I run the

261
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 7: Specialist showcase. You know, we had twenty seven specialists there,

262
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 7: which included ten kickers.

263
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 3: So I kind of narrowed it down.

264
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 7: We got, I want to say, I got down about

265
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,839
Speaker 7: twenty five thirty college guys, and then of course there

266
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:05,960
Speaker 7: was the NFL free agents too, it wasn't just the

267
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 7: college guys. And then we narrowed it down to what

268
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 7: do we look for, you know, and what do we

269
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 7: look for here?

270
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:13,959
Speaker 3: We look for a straight ball kicker.

271
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 7: And you can go all the way back and the

272
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:21,440
Speaker 7: kickers we've had in stove Gano Haushka, Will Watts, Tucker Kundaff,

273
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 7: Cameron Dick or Corey Vedvick. These are guys we've taught

274
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 7: to kick a straight ball. So what was the process like?

275
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:29,680
Speaker 7: The process was like, how can I find somebody who's

276
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 7: got a strong leg, who strong mentally.

277
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 3: And can kick a straight ball?

278
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 7: And it all came down to the when it was

279
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 7: all said and done, it came down to Tyler.

280
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 3: I made three West Coast trips back and forth.

281
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 7: Occasionally I text John to tell him where I was

282
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 7: at Most of the time he text me back, He's like,

283
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 7: oh great, I didn't care.

284
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,679
Speaker 3: We weren't in the office today, so it was good.

285
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 7: But that's how the process started was just evaluating and

286
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 7: seeing who fits our criteria.

287
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 6: Randy, I'm sure you're looking for the best possible kicker anyway,

288
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 6: But is there anything added when you're replacing who you

289
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 6: had here? You know, when you have what was thought

290
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 6: to be the greatest kicker of all time? Is there

291
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 6: anything added to that when you're looking forward to replacement?

292
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 7: So I want whoever that guy is to be the

293
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 7: best of who that guy was. And that was part

294
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:17,200
Speaker 7: of the discussions I had with the players. You know,

295
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 7: when you're sitting here trying to talk to to college players.

296
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:22,959
Speaker 7: I wasn't guaranteed we were going to have a draft pick,

297
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 7: so I had to also make sure that if we

298
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 7: were going to get a guy who's an undrafted free agent,

299
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,560
Speaker 7: I could convince him to come here, right, And we

300
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 7: want to make the best of you.

301
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 3: And so what do I tell Tyler Loop? Every day?

302
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 7: I need the best Tyler Loop ever? It was the

303
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 7: same way with Will Luttz. You know, we will we

304
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 7: want you to be the best Will Lutts And you

305
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 7: know Will was ninety percent last year and Cameron Dicker

306
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 7: was ninety percent last year, So we want them to

307
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,960
Speaker 7: be that person. What is the best that you can

308
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 7: be and how can we get you to that?

309
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:52,319
Speaker 3: And it all comes back to process.

310
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 7: And we've John's talked about it for years and all

311
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 7: of our kickers we've talked about process, whether it's been

312
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:01,200
Speaker 7: our long snappers. I mean, you know, we've gone through this.

313
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 7: We've had six long snappers in the NFL just last year.

314
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 7: So it's the process, Cordell, that's what we really want.

315
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 7: And we found a guy that has that process. And

316
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 7: I could tell a whole other story about our dinner

317
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 7: in Arizona, which maybe we can go to, but and

318
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,080
Speaker 7: he understood he had his own process, which was.

319
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 6: Great elaborate on what the process is.

320
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 7: Yeah, So when I interview a guy, I want to

321
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 7: know what is your process? Meaning, how do you practice?

322
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 7: How many kicks a day do you do you take

323
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,680
Speaker 7: during practice? What's your lifting schedule, what's your sleeping schedule,

324
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 7: what's your eating schedule? And then come game day, well,

325
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 7: what's your warm up schedule? How many kicks do you do?

326
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 7: How many no steps, how many one steps, how many

327
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 7: two steps at each end?

328
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 3: What do we do?

329
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 7: And of all the guys I interviewed, So I'll do

330
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 7: the restaurant story now.

331
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:50,680
Speaker 3: So we go to Arizona.

332
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:52,319
Speaker 7: So I go to Tucson and spend two and a

333
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 7: half hours with Tyler at a restaurant in Tucson, which,

334
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 7: by the way, everybody knows I'm a big pepsi guy,

335
00:13:58,240 --> 00:13:59,719
Speaker 7: and they had fountain pepsi, so I knew I was

336
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:01,560
Speaker 7: going to be there all night long, which was great.

337
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 7: So two we were there, two two and a half hours,

338
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 7: and he explained to me his process, and it was intricate,

339
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:11,200
Speaker 7: like to the point of, like I'll explain it to

340
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 7: you guys who are here and fans are watching at home.

341
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:15,839
Speaker 7: There's a spot on your foot where you have to

342
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 7: kick the football. All right, there's a spot on your foot.

343
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 7: He knew exactly where that spot was on your foot,

344
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 7: and you do it by which lace you want to

345
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 7: hit the football on.

346
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 3: So what is that process? The process is how am.

347
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 7: I going to make sure that that spot on my

348
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 7: foot hits one inch below of the middle of the football,

349
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 7: which is our sweet spot depending on the different sides

350
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 7: of the football. Now I can go into more of

351
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 7: a process of when you're out there, Okay, where's my target?

352
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 7: How far back do I go? How many inches away

353
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 7: from the football am I who understands that process without

354
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 7: I mean, I've only had one minute to explain to

355
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 7: you the process, so this kid had two hours.

356
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 3: And so I knew we were kind of there.

357
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 7: So we kind of moved a couple tables away and

358
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 7: we're in this restaurant in Tucson, and I said, all right,

359
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 7: show me, and he does his whole dep's back over

360
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 7: and all shows me. Okay, this is how I would

361
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 7: hit the ball. Here, this is my lean on my ball.

362
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 7: And I texted John afterwards, I said, I think we

363
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 7: have our guy. And that's what was really the restaurant

364
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 7: in Tucson, and I forget the name of it, but

365
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 7: it had fountain PEPSI randon.

366
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 8: You obviously can look at a kicker's fundamentals and break

367
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 8: it down what you like and don't like, and you

368
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 8: can see his routine and all that.

369
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 9: But how difficult, you know, this position, How difficult it

370
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 9: is mentally? How difficult is it to gauge from a

371
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 9: kicking prospect how he's going to respond in a clutch moment,

372
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 9: and how he's going to deal with pressure.

373
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 7: And all that. He call his mom and dad and

374
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 7: see mom and dad, think how he's been talked to

375
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 7: his other coaches. The guy played, you know, he played

376
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 7: forty seven games. John Hoylan we brought in played fifty

377
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 7: some games. The kid out of Andy, out of Miami

378
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 7: played fifty games. So you know, you kind of watch

379
00:15:56,560 --> 00:16:00,160
Speaker 7: their pressure situations, how they handle those situations already. But

380
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 7: as I've learned in all my years in National Football League,

381
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 7: going all way back to Jeff Jager and David Akers,

382
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 7: until you're in that moment, who's the guy that can

383
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 7: rely on his process when you're in that moment? And

384
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 7: you know, we've had some of the greatest kickers ever

385
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 7: come out of this place because they got that moment

386
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 7: and they were able to stay in their process. Too

387
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 7: many kickers just look at the uprights like I just

388
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 7: got to make it somehow, I just got to make it. No,

389
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 7: we have a process of regardless if there's one second

390
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 7: left in the game, or you're on the opening drive,

391
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 7: you ran a kickoff back, you got to run out

392
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 7: and do a thirty three yard extra point.

393
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 3: That what's my process to kick the ball straight.

394
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 7: And when you talk to a guy too, Jeff, you

395
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 7: can tell you can look in a guy's eyes, you

396
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 7: can tell who's a little flaky and who's like dialed

397
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 7: in and the guys who like won't look at you,

398
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 7: or maybe they go a little squirrelly, you know, for

399
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 7: not to bring you to the facility.

400
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 4: How many guys were in the pool that you were.

401
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 3: Looking at thirty?

402
00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 7: You know, Jerry had started at thirty, but I would

403
00:16:59,880 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 7: say I probably got down to ten that I really believed.

404
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 7: So the difference between kicking and Baltimore, which is arguably

405
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 7: one of the hardest places to kick in the National

406
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:13,880
Speaker 7: Football League, Jerry to kicking New Orleans or kicking in Dallas,

407
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:16,960
Speaker 7: Like this was a layup this weekend. You know, you're

408
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:18,439
Speaker 7: not going to have layups. You're not going to have

409
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 7: games like this. So you've got to find who can

410
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 7: hit a ball that can play out here. And that's

411
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,200
Speaker 7: the whole thing about what we did with Tyler, because

412
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:29,359
Speaker 7: you know, I've heard, I've heard and read some of

413
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:31,159
Speaker 7: the things that you guys have put out there. But

414
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:35,440
Speaker 7: it's a totally different football, guys. The NFL ball and

415
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 7: the ball they use in college are two different footballs.

416
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 7: So if you have a totally different football, that means

417
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:42,159
Speaker 7: you have a totally different sweet spot. That means you

418
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 7: have a totally different swing plane. That means you have

419
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,679
Speaker 7: a totally different plan. So all of that goes into

420
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 7: that type of ball. So what did I do, Joy?

421
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 3: I had to find who could actually.

422
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:53,200
Speaker 7: Kick a ball the way that we need to kick.

423
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 7: And what happens is there's not a lot.

424
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 3: Now.

425
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,640
Speaker 7: I'd say easily, there's got to be probably five six

426
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 7: guys came out of this class that could kick, but

427
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 7: I think only about two of them could kick out doors.

428
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:05,639
Speaker 3: In my opinion, You've.

429
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 8: Pitched a lot of great kickers that we talked about,

430
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 8: but in terms of leg strength, we're does Tyler compared to.

431
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 6: Some of those guys.

432
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:16,160
Speaker 7: Tyler has has elite leg strength and you know, we're

433
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 7: fortunate enough to be on the field with Brandon Aubrey

434
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 7: this week. You know he saw Brandon's leg strength. But yeah,

435
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 7: it's elite. You know, we have the track man here

436
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:28,359
Speaker 7: which is outstanding. It kind of helps us. It helps

437
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 7: us with apex, it helps us with launch angle, it

438
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 7: helps us with speed and really kind of gauge of

439
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 7: each kick. But yeah, I mean, he's he's he's got elite.

440
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 7: But you know, we brought in John Hoyland for a reason.

441
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:42,480
Speaker 7: We brought in John Hoylan because we know John could

442
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 7: kick the ball straight. You know, the guy missed two

443
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 7: kicks under forty in fifty some games. And we wanted

444
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 7: a guy that that could challenge Tyler and not just

445
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 7: turn into a home run hitting contest, you know.

446
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 3: And so we're out there.

447
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 7: It's guys, we're still like on the driving range right now,

448
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,159
Speaker 7: and we're still working on lean, We're still working on

449
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 7: things like that. That what works best for him, But

450
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:06,879
Speaker 7: I wanted to really compliment what John Hoyland did. There

451
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 7: was one day out here that John went nine for nine,

452
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:11,399
Speaker 7: and you know, we remember I was alternating for a

453
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 7: while there. So John goes nine for nine and Tyler

454
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 7: came in that morning and said, I can't miss today.

455
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 3: I can't miss today. So he went ten for ten.

456
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 7: That was a day on the other field we hit

457
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:23,879
Speaker 7: from sixty three, sixty five and sixty eight. So thankfully

458
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,119
Speaker 7: John and Tyler both really liked each other and they

459
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,879
Speaker 7: worked really well. We are where we are today because

460
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:33,119
Speaker 7: of the competition and that the Ravens allowed me to

461
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 7: bring two kickers in and not like a lot of

462
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 7: teams are saying three specialists, that's all you got.

463
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 8: It seemed, you know, Tyler when he got drafted, he

464
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:44,160
Speaker 8: had his Raven shirt already kind of felt confident that

465
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:46,920
Speaker 8: this was going to be the team. Take us from

466
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:48,920
Speaker 8: your perspective through day three of the draft, where you

467
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:50,640
Speaker 8: sweating that one out? I mean, they made it clear

468
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:52,880
Speaker 8: this is the one kicker you want. He's your guy.

469
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:54,199
Speaker 3: Do I look like I sweat?

470
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:56,879
Speaker 7: Ever? Jeff twelve years is a Jersey Mayer. Does it

471
00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 7: look like I sweat?

472
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 3: I was dying. I was die And we got to

473
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:02,159
Speaker 3: the fifth round.

474
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 7: We got to the fifth round, and you know, I'm

475
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:08,359
Speaker 7: kind of, you know, given every hint possible, he might

476
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 7: get off the board, he might go off the board.

477
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 7: Please let's go. We do you know what is the alternative?

478
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:18,159
Speaker 7: And but Tyler and I it's some really good conversation. Uh,

479
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:21,440
Speaker 7: he's he really, you know, he is definitely a faith,

480
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 7: family football guy. And I really wanted him as much

481
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 7: for who he was and who I know he could

482
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:32,159
Speaker 7: be two at the time, the big legged kicker. Okay,

483
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:35,360
Speaker 7: but yeah, I was, Yeah, I was sweating it out

484
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:37,160
Speaker 7: just a little bit. And I was just a little

485
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:39,119
Speaker 7: excited when we drafted him. I think you saw that

486
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 7: in the video. But it was good that here's somebody.

487
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 8: I was how much are you?

488
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:46,199
Speaker 2: I know that in the game the other night there

489
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:49,159
Speaker 2: were two penalties on picks and I'm muchure you're involved

490
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 2: in that strategy and says something.

491
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 8: Obviously, this big all feel is something that.

492
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 3: He hasn't got.

493
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:56,399
Speaker 7: Yeah, we're all really working through it. You know, we

494
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:58,959
Speaker 7: get ideas from what we see on film Tyler had.

495
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 7: Tyler has a deep background in soccer. I don't know

496
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:02,640
Speaker 7: how many of you have spent a lot of time,

497
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,719
Speaker 7: but Tyler is an outstanding soccer player. He was going

498
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:08,119
Speaker 7: to go to Europe and play soccer in high school.

499
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:11,160
Speaker 7: So we're kind of working through it right now. We're

500
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 7: kind of seeing what's going to work, what isn't going

501
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:16,640
Speaker 7: to work. And that's great about preseason game and that's

502
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:19,199
Speaker 7: what's great about Harves is we're like, hey, we're going

503
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 7: to try this, try that.

504
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:21,120
Speaker 3: Okay, great, but this.

505
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 7: Is the time to do it because it's just a

506
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:27,679
Speaker 7: dramatic difference in coverage, in the way that this is.

507
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 7: This is set up and when we put this, the

508
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 7: small committee of us that put this new new play

509
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 7: in effect, we knew that if you hit dirty balls

510
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:37,679
Speaker 7: down there and they hit the ground first and you

511
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:40,399
Speaker 7: allow that kickoff team a couple of yards. You know,

512
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,479
Speaker 7: it could be an advantage. So but it's you know,

513
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 7: so he loves it. He's doing it, he's trying it

514
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:48,680
Speaker 7: each day. It's a lot of fun. And unfortunately we had,

515
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 7: you know, a couple of balls bounced the wrong way.

516
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 3: But turf and grass are going to be two totally

517
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 3: different things.

518
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, were you upset with the way he tackling.

519
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 6: Up to make a tack with all or the fact

520
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 6: that he maybe didn't list say on.

521
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 2: That you were talking about the tackle?

522
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:06,199
Speaker 8: What do you take us through that?

523
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 7: What do you want to Well, I've been telling these

524
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:09,879
Speaker 7: guys I should be on video more often. Right so

525
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:13,120
Speaker 7: our Tyler in my video has gotten five million views already.

526
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:15,200
Speaker 3: Okay, so I've been saying put us on video.

527
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 7: We're so so see Tyler's got one story.

528
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:20,120
Speaker 3: I got another. I know this.

529
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:23,040
Speaker 7: All I told him is when we're upstairs, when when

530
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 7: that guy's near the sideline, can we just push him out?

531
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 3: All right? Really?

532
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:29,359
Speaker 7: Now, week one, Buffalo, you got to make a tackle.

533
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 7: You're making that tackle, but you know, to the sideline,

534
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:32,439
Speaker 7: let's just.

535
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:33,959
Speaker 3: Kind of guide him out.

536
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 7: But uh, he's an athlete, and you know, and he

537
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:39,639
Speaker 7: did it. He did it, and I was proud of him,

538
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 7: but he was he I think he was happier and

539
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 7: more shocked at the end. And I think Jordan's doubt said, well,

540
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 7: you just hugged him. So either way, he got out

541
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:49,640
Speaker 7: of it unscathed. But there was a lot of fun.

542
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 2: You got off here last year. And so Kylie about

543
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 2: Jordan and his part in the entire operation is holding.

544
00:22:57,640 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 4: What has it been like now that you.

545
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 1: Have the veteran as the long snapper and holder rather

546
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:03,119
Speaker 1: than the kicker.

547
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 4: Teaching the older.

548
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:06,440
Speaker 3: Okay, see, I knew something I was going to bring up.

549
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:09,919
Speaker 7: Okay, Nick Moore is the Lamar Jackson of long snappers

550
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:13,119
Speaker 7: in the NFL because he does everything right. Okay, so

551
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:15,720
Speaker 7: think of this and just go back and watch the

552
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:16,359
Speaker 7: game this week.

553
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 3: All right, he had eight pretty much twelve o'clock snaps.

554
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:21,919
Speaker 7: And twelve o'clock snaps are when the laces are facing

555
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 7: towards the uprights. Okay, six o'clock is when the lasers

556
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 7: are facing the kicker.

557
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 3: All right.

558
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 7: You see where he was on point on the snaps

559
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 7: to Jordan on punt he blocks, He's got a block,

560
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:36,879
Speaker 7: defensive tackle, sometimes defensive ends. All right, we ask him

561
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 7: to block different than any other of the thirty two

562
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 7: teams in the NFL, and he covers. He covers as

563
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 7: well as anybody's two hundred and sixty pounds. Okay, doesn't

564
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:48,360
Speaker 7: get enough credit Jordan. I've said that for year after year,

565
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 7: that this that Jordan is one of the top five

566
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 7: snappers in the NFL, I mean holders in the NFL.

567
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 7: When you got to put a ball on pretty much

568
00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 7: a dime, right, you got to put it on a dime,

569
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 7: Then you got to put on the dime, and then

570
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 7: you've got to get the lean. And right now Tyler's

571
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 7: we're working on where his lean is. So there's a

572
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 7: movement or two involved, and we got to do all

573
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:11,120
Speaker 7: that in one point three three seconds. Okay, so Jordan's

574
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 7: at an elite level. But what I was really happy

575
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,200
Speaker 7: about was the way Jordan punnett in the game and

576
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:18,119
Speaker 7: when you look at his three directional punts, we went

577
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 7: left on the three directional punts, put every ball outside

578
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 7: the numbers, and really proud of him and where his

579
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,120
Speaker 7: growth is to. And that's the one thing about Nick

580
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 7: and Jordan and Tyler it's doesn't matter. They come every

581
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:31,400
Speaker 7: day with the new idea of hey, maybe I can

582
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 7: just do this a little different, this a little better.

583
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 3: But I'm so happy with where we are with these

584
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:36,119
Speaker 3: three guys.

585
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 7: It's so fun to come to work every day because

586
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:39,439
Speaker 7: all they want to do is improve.

587
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 3: They really do.

588
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 8: Lady, when Justin got here his first year, you get

589
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 8: a lot of work with his you know, kind of

590
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:49,959
Speaker 8: rebuild him or whatever have you had to do that

591
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:53,159
Speaker 8: same process with Tyler to maybe kind of change different

592
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:54,879
Speaker 8: things that he's been doing in the past.

593
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 7: So we do it with all the kickers we've brought in, okay,

594
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 7: all of them. And so Tyler had a little different

595
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 7: way that he planned it.

596
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 3: He had a little different way where.

597
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 7: He struck the ball, all right, He had a little

598
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 7: different way with how he swung swung, and his sweet

599
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:11,919
Speaker 7: spot was a little lower, so we had to change

600
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 7: all that and his apex was higher. So if you

601
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 7: watch some of his kicks at Arizona, those things are

602
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:19,920
Speaker 7: up there. Well that you kick that ball up there

603
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:23,679
Speaker 7: in Cleveland, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, or Baltimore in November, forget it.

604
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:24,640
Speaker 3: It's got no shot.

605
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:26,879
Speaker 7: So we have to try to change the apex in

606
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:31,360
Speaker 7: the trajectory. So we've worked hard on it. We've only

607
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 7: had three months, but we've worked very hard on changing

608
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:36,680
Speaker 7: of how we can hit a ball in the AFC

609
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 7: North the way.

610
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 3: The ball should be hitting the AFC North. Okay, all right, guys,

611
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:42,760
