1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:01,440
Speaker 1: Some emotion of your night.

2
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 2: What was going through your mind of that game winning kick? Yeah,

3
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:06,800
Speaker 2: I think, honestly, it was just go out there and

4
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:09,400
Speaker 2: attack it the same way I do all my kicks.

5
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:11,719
Speaker 2: I have my process, I'm a routine and I have

6
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:14,120
Speaker 2: a lot of faith in the guys around me. And

7
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:17,640
Speaker 2: all the emotion that I experienced there with that last kick,

8
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:20,680
Speaker 2: I don't think any of it even remotely compares to

9
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:23,959
Speaker 2: what I'll feel tomorrow on Christmas Day with the birth

10
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 2: of Jesus Christ. I'd be remiss if I didn't say that,

11
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 2: because oftentimes you find the greatest treasure in the darkest caves.

12
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:33,880
Speaker 2: And I've obviously been struggling a little bit this year,

13
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:36,599
Speaker 2: and I was really really fortunate to be surrounded by

14
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 2: a team that believes in me and that helps me

15
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:41,479
Speaker 2: to continue to move forward with my process and then

16
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 2: go ahead and knock the last one down with a

17
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 2: good snap protection and then hold by Bryce sat It seemed.

18
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:50,559
Speaker 1: Like you knew it based on your reaction. Is that accurate?

19
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 1: And what was the reaction to you? Yeah?

20
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 2: Now, I was going out there, I was trying to

21
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:57,639
Speaker 2: see contact, and I knew if we had a good

22
00:00:57,640 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 2: op and I just matched my foot how I know

23
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 2: I can, then the ball is gonna stay true. And honestly,

24
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,399
Speaker 2: I didn't waiver in confidence at all because I knew

25
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 2: the guys that I had around me still believed in

26
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 2: me and have believed in me all year.

27
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:13,039
Speaker 1: And that that means more to.

28
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:17,039
Speaker 2: Uh, to an athlete and even more so a kicker

29
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 2: than I think I could even put into words. Is

30
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 2: having that support system of the guys. Yeah, guys like

31
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 2: Matt Slater coming up to you and telling you, hey man,

32
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:26,039
Speaker 2: we're gonna need you in the fourth quarter here, like

33
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 2: that's what's turning out to be, and Matt Matt the prophet.

34
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: It came true.

35
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:33,960
Speaker 2: So I'm super thankful and blessed to have a team

36
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:35,559
Speaker 2: around me that supports me through anything.

37
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 1: Giving you your run over the last couple of weeks.

38
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:40,479
Speaker 2: How rating was this.

39
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 1: Free to have this out? Yeah? I think it's Uh.

40
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 1: It's fun to win at the end of the day, winning,

41
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 1: winning is a lot of fun.

42
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 2: So I'm glad we could we could contribute to that

43
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 2: as a special teams unit. Tonight on the kickoff, Cody

44
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 2: scooping and scoring that one like that was a big play.

45
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 1: I know how the game end with the field goal.

46
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 2: But at the end of the day, like there were

47
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 2: a lot of plays that went into tonight, I think

48
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 2: showed a good good amount of the heart that we

49
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 2: have as a team and the belief that we have

50
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 2: in each other because we're putting in the work day

51
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 2: in and day out, and we'll just keep trending in

52
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:18,639
Speaker 2: that direction. Somebody who visualizes, did you visualize.

53
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,359
Speaker 1: Game with the kid? Thousand percent?

54
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 2: I'd be lying to you if I said I wasn't

55
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 2: sitting in my hotel room last night thinking about it.

56
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 2: I try and think about it every week because I

57
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 2: feel there's some value in that when you see yourself

58
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 2: doing something before it gets there.

59
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,079
Speaker 1: Once you get in the moment, you feel like you've

60
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 1: been there before, something you dream of as a kid.

61
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm blessed to be here as is, from

62
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 2: Little leven in Pennsylvania to Eastern Michigan to a year

63
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:48,239
Speaker 2: at Maryland and then playing for the Patriots as a

64
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 2: as a rookie place kicker. I couldn't couldn't ask for

65
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 2: more of a blessing.

66
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 1: What's been the year for you emotionally?

67
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 2: You know, if you've had some this isn't what you

68
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 2: said earlier.

69
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,119
Speaker 1: But the emotion of you know, it's it's a business.

70
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 2: You know as you know it's the NFL, but you know,

71
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 2: how have you been able to say even keel brother

72
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 2: whole bit. I think for me it really comes down

73
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 2: to my faith and who I know I am as

74
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 2: a person that at the end of the day, football.

75
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 1: Doesn't define me.

76
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 2: It's like I mentioned, tomorrow Christmas is going to be

77
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,920
Speaker 2: probably one of the best days of the year, and

78
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:25,519
Speaker 2: it's just knowing that where the end of this road

79
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 2: is for me, and I want to keep progressing because

80
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 2: I know this is just one step in the journey,

81
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 2: as is every kick and the mental emotion that you

82
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 2: get from each kick, good, bad, ugly and different.

83
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: It's a learning process and I know there's going to

84
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 1: be learning curves.

85
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 2: Early on, and it's just important for me to keep

86
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 2: pressing through that.

87
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: Before the opportunity that you can give your chance early

88
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 1: in the game you miss, for to feeling, we'll try

89
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 1: your second. He will try to Christmass rights to something

90
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: you be. Relations you and he have going through the

91
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 1: growing days of being a little pie suspecial the NFL.

92
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 1: How he's helped you through trials and tribulationships.

93
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think Bryce especially, we're seen together a lot

94
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 2: around the facility. We both have similar work ethics, same

95
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,039
Speaker 2: belief systems in terms of where we want to go

96
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:23,720
Speaker 2: with our careers, and both believe at an extremely high

97
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 2: level that we have the ability mentally ends physically to

98
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 2: play in this league for a long time. So it's

99
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,720
Speaker 2: always nice to be surrounded by a guy like that

100
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 2: where you can bounce stuff off each other. And Joe

101
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 2: Cardona as well, sort of being our our long snapper leader.

102
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,359
Speaker 1: For taking us in and really really helping us along

103
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 1: the way up.

104
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 2: To take us through what you fell on the two misses,

105
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 2: like what would happen?

106
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 1: And then on the last one that yay, did he

107
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 1: go through the price or did you just sort of know?

108
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 1: I mean I saw it all I saw it in

109
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 1: the air and I knew it knew and I hit it.

110
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 2: It had a really good chance to go in. But

111
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 2: the misses, yeah, I'm just working through some process things

112
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 2: fundamentally that I know will make me a better kicker.

113
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 2: And it was fun to see that show up there

114
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 2: on that last kick, because when it all clicks together

115
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 2: like that, it's a it's a good ballflight one.

116
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 1: Of both your range shoes with any face.

117
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:24,599
Speaker 2: I don't know. It's whatever, whatever you want, whatever you want,

118
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 2: Thanks Mike, Thanks guys,
