1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,800
Speaker 1: Do you think we're being as a check return just

2
00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:05,160
Speaker 1: doing a nice job. You know, we threw him in

3
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:06,640
Speaker 1: there last week just to kind of see what he

4
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:10,280
Speaker 1: could do. He's been taking practice reps. So no, he's

5
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:12,640
Speaker 1: done a really nice job. So we just come continue

6
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 1: to let him work at it and see what happens

7
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:18,920
Speaker 1: when you send out special teams. I mean it seems

8
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:21,600
Speaker 1: like you just the last game, you were just gauging

9
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:24,440
Speaker 1: what a guy might do as opposed to these are

10
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 1: the regular guys I'll have. Yeah, I mean right now,

11
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 1: we're in the evaluation process. We're trying to figure out

12
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:31,640
Speaker 1: who we have and what they can do. So we're

13
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 1: just letting him play, you know, just throw them out

14
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:39,480
Speaker 1: there and very generic situation. Nothing really game playing well schematically,

15
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 1: just trying to see who can run and hit tackle,

16
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 1: you know what. You know, you hate to get to

17
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 1: the first game and you don't know what you have,

18
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 1: you know, especially on your coverage unit. So we're just

19
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:51,600
Speaker 1: trying to figure out who does what, who does what

20
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 1: the best and go from there. I was this day

21
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 1: and say like, these guys are kind of like that.

22
00:00:58,040 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 1: You may want to use X on a ton of

23
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 1: a ton of the best names you're not gonna be

24
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 1: able to. Does he tell you certain guys just kind

25
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 1: offul limits you're gonna work with left every everybody is like,

26
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:11,679
Speaker 1: it's nobody's really off limits. But obviously as a coordinator,

27
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:15,119
Speaker 1: you've gotta be smart and how you use guys um

28
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 1: and in the preseason, there are certain guys you're gonna

29
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 1: pull back on and Okay, let's see what Corker can do.

30
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:23,679
Speaker 1: Let's see what you know, all the rest of these

31
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,119
Speaker 1: young guys can do. And I think that's the best

32
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 1: way to handle it. We're watching your kick coverage in

33
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: the preseason, it's just you're probably looking at you're definitely

34
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 1: looking at things differently than than we are. But when

35
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: Antonio Williams has the kind of hit that he had

36
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 1: on that second half kickoff, is the process the proper

37
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 1: way or they do? You see guys that just run

38
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 1: down there and try to make a hit and they're

39
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 1: all no, I mean, that's that's part of the evaluation process.

40
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: You know, Antonio's He's shown her every day in practice

41
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 1: because we haven't physically been able to hit. Obviously, I'm

42
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 1: practically not going to take anybody to the ground, but

43
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 1: he shows the ability to maneuver and get through traffic

44
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: and be able to accelerate to the ball. And you

45
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 1: saw him finish the other day. So you know, you'd

46
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 1: like to see those things transfer from the team situations

47
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 1: and practice into the game situations on the field. And

48
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 1: it's right now for him, it's definitely translated. Talked a

49
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 1: lot about last year ago getting Darius into the return game. Um,

50
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: hasn't been a lot this summer. Did that window closed? Well,

51
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,079
Speaker 1: I mean it's you know, he hasn't done a lot

52
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 1: of anything right now. You know, as soon as he

53
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 1: gets back on the field, he'll be pushed right back

54
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:38,079
Speaker 1: into the mix, you know what I mean. So it's

55
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,359
Speaker 1: just it's just a manner him getting healed up and

56
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:47,119
Speaker 1: get to where he could just function as a football player.

57
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 1: Spot Obviously we see c J kind of at the

58
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 1: top of the unofficient dump chart for a young guy

59
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,239
Speaker 1: like Jay Shawn or for anybody else to challenge for it.

60
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: One are the top qualities that you need to see

61
00:02:56,200 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 1: out of a guy consistently, Well, obviously you won't speed, dependability,

62
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:05,920
Speaker 1: You want to got to be tough, uh and and

63
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,079
Speaker 1: and be durable, you know what I mean. Like that's

64
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: a that's a tough position. Um, you take some shots,

65
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 1: you know as a kickoff returner, and uh, obviously you

66
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 1: want to have great vision and be fearless and all

67
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 1: of those things. But uh, just be productive, you know,

68
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 1: guys that can make people miss in space and be physical, Uh,

69
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,079
Speaker 1: have agility and and just all of those things, make

70
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 1: their cuts to full speed and just make good decisions,

71
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 1: you know. So all of those things kind of go

72
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 1: into it. But we gotta we got a few options

73
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 1: back there, and those guys are doing a good job.

74
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 1: Really on the punt return that c J left bounce,

75
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 1: would you have liked to see him catch that or

76
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: is that the right play? Based on how deep he

77
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 1: was he was? He was he aligned himself away too

78
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: deep And as as my fault as as a coach,

79
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: like we gotta we gotta make sure we sit like

80
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: it he could. He was, you know, on six yards

81
00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: away from the ball, so and he knew it as

82
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: he as soon as the ball was hit, he knew

83
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: he was too far away from us. So, yeah, that

84
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 1: was something that that was just a preseason you know,

85
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: the first game of the year mistake, you know by

86
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: a guy who's done it. Yeah, would you think of Jamie,

87
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: I just lost just overall. No, he did a hell

88
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 1: of a job, he really did. Uh, he was player

89
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 1: of the game. You know, his first pump fifty two

90
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: yards five to two yards from the boundary. I mean

91
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: you couldn't walked down there and place it any better

92
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 1: than that one. We just gotta make the play, you know,

93
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,719
Speaker 1: Jay Love gotta come down and take a shot, you know.

94
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 1: But no, Jamie, he did a heck with job and

95
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: he's getting better every day. You know, a couple of

96
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,600
Speaker 1: kick returns that were probably longer than you would like.

97
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 1: Do you get concerned about that this earlier? Do you

98
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:42,839
Speaker 1: just look at that as information as far as who

99
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 1: can who can do these jobs and who can't. Well,

100
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:49,039
Speaker 1: you never want to give up anything but his first

101
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,279
Speaker 1: game of the year. And schematically, we're not doing certain

102
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,840
Speaker 1: things on purpose because we want to see who can

103
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,279
Speaker 1: run and cover. But there are some things that we

104
00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,599
Speaker 1: can help ourselves out within the coverage and we will

105
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: move with faward. But there are some things that we

106
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,479
Speaker 1: needed to see and uh, we'll continue to work on

107
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 1: those things. So it's just guys got to show up

108
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: and make plays when we get opportunities. It seems like

109
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 1: gunn It was wide open, Yeah, wide open competition. So

110
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: we're trying to find out who's gonna take it. You know,

111
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 1: we got uh, you know CJ's was our probably only

112
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,679
Speaker 1: returner from last year, and they got you know, guys

113
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 1: like Marcus and some of these other guys and wide

114
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,839
Speaker 1: open flot all those guys, you know, Gilbert, you know,

115
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,160
Speaker 1: So we'll find out. We'll see, we'll see who takes

116
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 1: the spot, and uh, you know, who's gonna make a play.

117
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 1: Got two games left, so you can make it. Man

118
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: had a real good practice a couple of days ago.

119
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 1: What's your I mean, obviously your comfort level is pretty

120
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:42,719
Speaker 1: high with him, and but can you just speak to

121
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: the kind of summer he's had and and your comfort

122
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: level with him with a gunning like that. You know,

123
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:54,160
Speaker 1: this is my fifth year with Graham h and I

124
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 1: feel extremely comfortable with him. You know, he knows himself,

125
00:05:58,000 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 1: he knows what he needs to do to get himself prepared,

126
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, just adding Jamie into the mix

127
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: and being able to bring him along, bring him up

128
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 1: to speed and how Graham likes everything, uh handled, and

129
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 1: to add him with Casey, it's been really, really good.

130
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 1: The process has been good. It was so rare to

131
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 1: have you know these I mean, I mean I've kicked

132
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,679
Speaker 1: the kicking games. Always been very transient in the league,

133
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: but it seems now it's it's even more rare to

134
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 1: have somebody with a team more than a couple few years,

135
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, I mean it's Graham has put in.

136
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,159
Speaker 1: You know, he he got his you know, his lumps

137
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,719
Speaker 1: early in his career. You know, he's but he's earned

138
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 1: the right to to do what he's doing. You're talking

139
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 1: about being nine over the last four or five years

140
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 1: in his career. So I mean it's a he's earned

141
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 1: her right, you know. So he's done a hell of

142
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 1: a job for us, and and we look forward to

143
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 1: him making some big kicks for us. Do you get

144
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 1: a chance to talk to the game? I did. I

145
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 1: actually talked to him before the game, and uh, it

146
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,279
Speaker 1: was good to catch up with Joe was a good man, um,

147
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 1: but it was it was good to catch up what

148
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 1: I hadn't seen him but since he left
