1 00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:09,920 Speaker 1: Okay, Um day too, so just rolling rolling along here, 2 00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:15,200 Speaker 1: we stay away other new set of things to we 3 00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:17,239 Speaker 1: have something that we've done the day before, we build on. 4 00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:20,000 Speaker 1: Then we have something that's new that we need to 5 00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:26,800 Speaker 1: add in. So to be like that for quite a while. Um, 6 00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:30,480 Speaker 1: second day without pads, and then we'll kind of turn 7 00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:39,560 Speaker 1: the emphasis to some contact opportunities after that. Certainly plenty 8 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:42,199 Speaker 1: of things we can and funny things the need to 9 00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:47,120 Speaker 1: work on between today tomorrow, so hopefully we can dance 10 00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:55,840 Speaker 1: the ground on us coach. Um. Seeing when Gustowski had 11 00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,440 Speaker 1: been here now longer is kicker with the the benetarry 12 00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:01,440 Speaker 1: with the wind. We're just talking with Gustowski has ment 13 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:03,880 Speaker 1: to the leadership with his team and was consistency and 14 00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:09,520 Speaker 1: how much you've enjoyed working with him? M. Yeah, sure, 15 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:12,119 Speaker 1: Steve's been great to work with. I think he showed 16 00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:17,560 Speaker 1: an incredible amount of maturity and Blois's rookie year, he 17 00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,360 Speaker 1: came into probably as difficult of a situation as um 18 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:26,679 Speaker 1: any player that I ever rookie player that I brought 19 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:29,320 Speaker 1: onto a team with the expectations were with him and 20 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 1: obviously what Adam had done before this year, Steve's been 21 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:41,479 Speaker 1: really consistent through all these years, very hard worker, has 22 00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:44,680 Speaker 1: earned the respect of his teammates. He does everything that 23 00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,200 Speaker 1: the team does in terms of training and conditioning and 24 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 1: so forth. He's not on a special kicker program or 25 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:57,639 Speaker 1: anything like that. Very accountable, dependable, physically, mentally, tough player. 26 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,920 Speaker 1: Very fortunate. I've been very fortunate here to have you know, 27 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 1: two of the two of the best kickers that have 28 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,680 Speaker 1: ever played in the National Football League, as they had 29 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:13,280 Speaker 1: coach here. So I feel very fortunate that that Steve 30 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 1: and Adam both. He said that he doesn't get too 31 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 1: high or too long when things are good or not good. Um, 32 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 1: you ever talked to the team about that as an example, 33 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 1: never getting too high on your song, for never getting 34 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 1: too long when things aren't good? I think, yeah, Steve's 35 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:36,239 Speaker 1: very even keeled there, and um um sure yeah that 36 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 1: those things from over the teams. So Steve's a good 37 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:42,079 Speaker 1: example for all of us old players and coaches. He's 38 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 1: got a very professional attitude. He's a good teammate. He 39 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,519 Speaker 1: works hard at his job to do his job well, 40 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 1: to help the team, and that's really what be the 41 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:57,799 Speaker 1: model for all of us. Be good teammates, but to 42 00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 1: do our job. So everybody can count on us and 43 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 1: what does put everything we have into it to be 44 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 1: able to help the team. He certainly does that kickoffs 45 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 1: what we've asked him to do with the kickoffs in 46 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,680 Speaker 1: the last couple of years, he's worked very hard at 47 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:16,519 Speaker 1: He's improved tremendous. Le's I think you know, one of 48 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:20,919 Speaker 1: the top kickoff kickers in the in the league terms 49 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 1: of kickoffs, placement distance. He can do a lot of 50 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:25,960 Speaker 1: different things with the ball and helps our team out 51 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 1: in a lot of different ways. Um, he said, just 52 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 1: kicking field goals and extra pillints. So yeah, and he's 53 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 1: a very level head and even keeled guy. It's matured 54 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 1: and has gone from a rookie to now one of 55 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 1: our most experienced players and one of our top leaders. 56 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 1: How important worlds experience people in terms of the captations 57 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 1: of kickoff goals? Cool soon, I mean, I'm sure Stevil 58 00:03:56,520 --> 00:04:00,840 Speaker 1: do the best he can with it. Um, he's done 59 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 1: a great job for us in the past. Every year's 60 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,119 Speaker 1: new year, we've all got new challenges. I'm sure you'll 61 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 1: do the best. Degaining fell A should go about camp 62 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 1: up how apart is the teaching aspect to you and 63 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:20,799 Speaker 1: how even charging how much hands on coaching you personally 64 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:25,040 Speaker 1: like players at this time. Well, teaching is critical. We've 65 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:28,679 Speaker 1: done a lot of teaching, UM, and this is coming 66 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 1: into the time period where I, let's say there's UM, 67 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 1: a little less teaching, maybe a little more evaluation and 68 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 1: more corrections. UM. In a lot of cases, UM, I'd 69 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 1: say there aren't. There aren't too many situations where players 70 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,160 Speaker 1: just don't know what to do. You might need a 71 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 1: little refinement or a fine coaching point or something. But 72 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 1: at this point we've been through a lot. They know 73 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:55,799 Speaker 1: what to do. It's now going to be an evaluation 74 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:57,680 Speaker 1: process where they go out and do it against other 75 00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 1: good players and we evaluate the performances. So, look, I'm 76 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,600 Speaker 1: the head coach, and one of advantages being the head 77 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:10,600 Speaker 1: coaches you can do whatever you want to do and 78 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 1: coach for everyone to coach. I enjoy that. I feel 79 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,719 Speaker 1: like I can be beneficial to the team or an 80 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:21,479 Speaker 1: individual player, but interjecting something done until it's my responsibility 81 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 1: to do it, and I do it. Bill. In the past, 82 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,200 Speaker 1: you you talked about the spring practices is being kind 83 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 1: of a teaching campus being more of a competition camp. 84 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 1: Are you already into that competition camp phasor does that 85 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 1: really start tomorrow? It'll start soon, I wouldn't. I mean, look, 86 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:45,160 Speaker 1: we're all evaluated every day, but the real competition will 87 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 1: start soon. Again, we'll see how it goes early in camp. 88 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 1: A lot of times in my experience, I've seen players 89 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 1: that haven't done things well the first time or right 90 00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 1: off the bat, but as they gain a little more 91 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:04,040 Speaker 1: confidence or as they do things all of the times. 92 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 1: There are a lot of things we have with that 93 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,600 Speaker 1: and pads at all. So that'll be a process that 94 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 1: is a certain point in time where everybody's had an 95 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 1: adjustment period and now it's true evaluation. Let's say we're 96 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:21,159 Speaker 1: still a waste from that first two days. We can't 97 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:33,559 Speaker 1: don't temples to building up, don't could temper and trudge 98 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:35,080 Speaker 1: me the best you can, but it's what we do. 99 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 1: Bl You said that how many times in different years? 100 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 1: In different years, does that include your approach to how 101 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 1: you coach the team or you try to have a 102 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 1: consistent approach. Every year is different. I think there are 103 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:57,840 Speaker 1: some basic axioms and fundamentals that um the same as 104 00:06:57,839 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 1: they were when I was dead coach in Cleveland, but 105 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:00,960 Speaker 1: there are a lot of things that are different, So 106 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 1: any year is different, So put those together and find 107 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 1: some kind of some us I would say sweet spot 108 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,360 Speaker 1: that you feel like it's right for this particular year, 109 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 1: this particular team. Um, and the challenges that right now 110 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 1: will we face, which will change as we go forward 111 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 1: and we'll have to make some I know we'll have 112 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 1: to make some changes and adjustments as they occur. Do 113 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 1: you spend more time with the defense? Bill A feel 114 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 1: me too? Yeah? Again, every every year is different, every 115 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 1: situation is different. I feel like I need to try 116 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 1: to do with what's what's the most productive thing for 117 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 1: me to do to help our team. So that's what 118 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 1: I do, whatever that is. Sorry, Bill just didn't follow up. 119 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:51,920 Speaker 1: Have you felt any need to change your approach how 120 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:55,160 Speaker 1: you coach this years last year's testing? Yeah, it just 121 00:07:55,160 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 1: seems to BacT question. Bill. We'll have dok down. We'll 122 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:05,560 Speaker 1: be running back from learning curve during camp, passing game 123 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 1: pass returction. I was assuming Michelle coming along in that area. Um, 124 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 1: he's coming along us had a long way to go. Well, 125 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 1: one day at training camp. I haven't had a pass yet. 126 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 1: We'll see. Who knows. The Rokies are still wearing those 127 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 1: temporary numbers is there any particular best of climate. Okay, 128 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:42,800 Speaker 1: thanks guys, thank you.
