It's just 23 00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 4: continue to be productive, showing that you can improve, you know, 24 00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:01,080 Speaker 4: going out there, treating each day as is own and 25 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:04,600 Speaker 4: not letting previous days affect you, you know, And those guys, honestly, 26 00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,839 Speaker 4: as a whole group, have been really good this entire 27 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,679 Speaker 4: training camp, you know, putting day after day after day 28 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:12,959 Speaker 4: and just improving on the previous day, you know, And 29 00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:15,080 Speaker 4: as the best you can, you try to mix in 30 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:19,200 Speaker 4: as many game like situations as you can throughout practice 31 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,720 Speaker 4: with as many guys as you can. And I think 32 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,160 Speaker 4: once you get into like getting guys into game atmospheres, 33 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 4: getting into the stadiums and their stuff, the more you 34 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,679 Speaker 4: can do that stuff in practice, the more it's you know, 35 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:32,480 Speaker 4: in the game is not that big of a deal 36 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 4: or anything like that. It's like, oh, they've been in 37 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 4: those situations. So you try to implement those as much 38 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,119 Speaker 4: as you can. You know, when we get those guys 39 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,800 Speaker 4: where it's not just a field goal period, you know, 40 00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,319 Speaker 4: it's more of a integrate them into a team period, 41 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 4: and it may be scripted, not scripted anything like that, 42 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 4: but getting them to more of a game flow, and 43 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 4: that's what you're trying to do in that, you know, 44 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 4: and both all these guys have really done it well 45 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 4: day to day and taken each day as its own, 46 00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 4: you know, and that's the biggest thing. 47 00:01:58,000 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 2: You can't let the previous days affect you, whether they're 48 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 2: high or they're low. You know, you have to come 49 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:03,800 Speaker 2: in with the same approach every day. 50 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 4: And that's one thing that we've talked to the entire 51 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:08,640 Speaker 4: group about. You know, each day is its own day, 52 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 4: you know, and that's the biggest thing for him is 53 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 4: have a routine, stick to it, Trust the routine, Trust 54 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 4: you know, the situations, you know, obviously. 55 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,600 Speaker 2: The communication is key, and just treat every day. 56 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 1: As its own day and click follow up.

Obviously we've had a 63 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 4: lot of concerts going in there. You know, the soccer 64 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,399 Speaker 4: team's been doing well, so there hasn't been much opportunity 65 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,799 Speaker 4: for us actually go in there this you know training camp, 66 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,079 Speaker 4: you know, and then they were still obviously building there's 67 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 4: still got some sure some more innovations to finish and complete. 68 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,079 Speaker 4: So this will really be our first opportunity to get 69 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 4: in there to kick, to catch the ball. So we're 70 00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,520 Speaker 4: really excited to get in there, you know, because obviously 71 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:00,399 Speaker 4: we don't know what it's gonna be and you start 72 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 4: putting the ball in the air and then you know, honestly, 73 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:04,920 Speaker 4: I hope the conditions are as bad as they can be. 74 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:06,800 Speaker 4: That way we can really see what it really can be. 75 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 4: You know, let it rain, let the wind blow, and 76 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 4: see what it's going to be, because it may or 77 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,360 Speaker 4: may not be different. So it's something we definitely have 78 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 4: to talk about and see how it's going to affect 79 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 4: us and how we want to go about the game 80 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:18,360 Speaker 4: and calling the games. 81 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,040 Speaker 2: Thanks Cam, appreciate it, Bob, thank you. 82 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:24,079 Speaker 5: Next question to Kada Randall. 83 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:29,240 Speaker 4: Camp kind of a similar question to Bob asked, but 84 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:33,520 Speaker 4: you know, what do you look for when evaluating a 85 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:34,360 Speaker 4: field goal kicker? 86 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 2: Is it as simple as make miss or is there 87 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 2: more to it? 88 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 6: More like more finer details in addition to you know 89 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 6: what Bob was talking about with the resilience. 90 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, no, there's. 91 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 4: Definitely a little bit more to it than just looking 92 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 4: at a percentage just on a piece of paper. 93 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 2: I would definitely say that, Dakota. So you know, when 94 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 2: you look at a guy, you have to look at 95 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 2: every kick. 96 00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 4: Maybe not so much in college as a pat because 97 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 4: obviously there's so much shorter on the three, but every 98 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 4: field goal opportunity. Are they being put in long situations? 99 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 4: Are they kicking in good weather? Are they kicking in altitude? 100 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 4: Are they not kicking in altitude? So that stuff factors 101 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 4: like their leg strength not their leg strength, So when 102 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 4: you're looking for that, you can't just go off of 103 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 4: well then this guy went you know, twenty or twenty three, 104 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 4: or this guy went, you know, ten for ten. 105 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,479 Speaker 2: Then it's like, well, what were those situations, whether any. 106 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:26,279 Speaker 4: Pressure situations, whether any situations where they had to kick 107 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 4: in elements because obviously playing elements here where they win 108 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,040 Speaker 4: was the rain where they playing down in you know, 109 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,480 Speaker 4: Mississippi where I'm from, where it's just hot and humid, 110 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 4: and you know, the ball really flies, you know. 111 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 2: So you're looking at all that. Then you get into 112 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:39,600 Speaker 2: the mechanical. 113 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 4: Part of it, like is it a guy that you 114 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 4: can tweak a little bit, You want to coach a 115 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,799 Speaker 4: little bit that whether maybe it's his plant foot, maybe 116 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 4: it's coming through finishing, it's his I seeing the ball 117 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,839 Speaker 4: through contact, and he has just a natural swing. There's 118 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 4: some guys that just naturally strike the ball well, and 119 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 4: there's other guys that are very technique oriented. 120 00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 2: So that part of it is more of the. 121 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,600 Speaker 4: Community with them and getting their minds made up and 122 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:03,839 Speaker 4: talking to them about their kicking. 123 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:04,039 Speaker 2: IQ. 124 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,280 Speaker 4: But what are you looking for? What's your sight line 125 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,160 Speaker 4: pre kick? Do you have a site line or you're 126 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:12,359 Speaker 4: just letting her rip, you know. So each guy is different, 127 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 4: and when you're looking for those guys, you want the 128 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,480 Speaker 4: guy that's a little bit of everything. You don't want 129 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 4: somebody that's just so technical that you're over analyzing every 130 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 4: single kick. 131 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:21,480 Speaker 3: You know. 132 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:22,239 Speaker 2: It's kind of like golf. 133 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:25,240 Speaker 4: If you say you mishit one, it's like, well, all right, 134 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:27,320 Speaker 4: what did I do wrong?

But just how 161 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:33,920 Speaker 6: do you incorporate all the tracking numbers you know that's 162 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 6: important to their jobs that help you. 163 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 4: No, Mo and Johan and Jim and all those guys, 164 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,480 Speaker 4: they do a great job communicating if a guy may 165 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,720 Speaker 4: have ran a lot more at practice less at practice, 166 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 4: you know, and you just tell them you kind of 167 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:51,160 Speaker 4: communicate like, hey, we're going to cover four kickoff or 168 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,799 Speaker 4: we're covering eight kickoff today, and you're trying to manage 169 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,720 Speaker 4: those guys and if there's a guy that maybe need 170 00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 4: to be managed, not man if they'll communicate that to us, 171 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:02,160 Speaker 4: you know, but that speaks volume because we do run 172 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:03,720 Speaker 4: like we're gonna cover kicks here. 173 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,240 Speaker 2: We're gonna run and we're gonna cover them. 174 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:07,919 Speaker 4: You're round like you can see a practice for like 175 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,560 Speaker 4: we're running and we're not like kicking the ball from 176 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:12,120 Speaker 4: the thirty five yard line and letting. 177 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:13,080 Speaker 2: Us just trot down the field. 178 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 4: So that goal goes back all the way to spring, 179 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 4: which is why spring is so important and really for 180 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 4: our strength and additional program. 181 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,000 Speaker 2: They do a great job. Moties a great job. 182 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 4: You get those guys in shape, and I communicate a 183 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 4: lot with them and say. 184 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 2: You know about those guys because they're gonna have to run. 185 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 4: I mean, if you catch a sixty yard pass and 186 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 4: you score, well you're gonna turn around, maybe have to 187 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 4: cover a kickoff. We've had guys do that here for years. 188 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:39,239 Speaker 4: Same thing defensively, right, you know, if for some reason 189 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 4: we give up a score, well you got to maybe 190 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:41,840 Speaker 4: have to go out there and block them kick off 191 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 4: a turn union. 192 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 2: So our guys are in tremendous shape. And I can't say. 193 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 4: Enough about putting those guys through the process. And that 194 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 4: starts back in the spring and the phase one process, 195 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,600 Speaker 4: the phase two process. So those guys when we do 196 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,080 Speaker 4: get in the pass, which we just recently did, they're 197 00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 4: ready to go, you know, and they're able to hold 198 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,240 Speaker 4: the load of the helmet the shoulder pass because that's 199 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,640 Speaker 4: stuff you can't really simulate because they're not able to 200 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:03,360 Speaker 4: wear that stuff. 201 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:06,040 Speaker 2: So being able to come up with ways for them. 202 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 4: To carry that weight at practice, I can't speak enough 203 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:10,720 Speaker 4: about how well a job they do. 204 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,560 Speaker 6: Bill mentions looking at training camp every year, making small 205 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 6: tweaks here, there anything new in that department because obviously 206 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 6: technology changes year after year after year. That has maybe 207 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 6: help inform or help you do your job this summer 208 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:24,280 Speaker 6: if it's a little different for you. 209 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:27,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, No, I think as a whole, every year is 210 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 4: a coach's responsibility to try to improve. If you're not improving, 211 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,360 Speaker 4: I like to say, once you start staying the same 212 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 4: right here and you're not improving, then you're doing a 213 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 4: just service for the players. 214 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:40,360 Speaker 2: You should always continue to. 215 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,200 Speaker 4: Look at stuff to improve on, whether that's technique, whether 216 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:47,200 Speaker 4: that's fundamentals, whether that's looking at different team schemes, watching 217 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,360 Speaker 4: every big return on kickoff return and point return, watching 218 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,720 Speaker 4: every kickoff cover that was tackled inside maybe the twenty 219 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 4: yard line from the season, or obviously I've done an 220 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 4: extensive study on this new fair catch thing of the 221 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 4: kicks fair catching the ball enough. 222 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 2: So we've just spent a lot of time on that 223 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 2: and trying to play to the rules and what's going 224 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:07,600 Speaker 2: to be an advantage not advantaged for us, and just 225 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:09,079 Speaker 2: you got to do the whole thing. 226 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 4: You can't just look at one thing and say, all right, 227 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 4: this is the only air we're gonna focus on, only 228 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:13,720 Speaker 4: thing we're gonna work on. 229 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 2: You have to work on everything. And that's the only 230 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:17,160 Speaker 2: way to make. 231 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,120 Speaker 4: Sure your guys are going out there and putting their 232 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:19,840 Speaker 4: best forward. 233 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:21,760 Speaker 2: You have to put your best footboard off the field 234 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,560 Speaker 2: as well. Thanks Kiving, Thanks Andrew. 235 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,600 Speaker 5: Next question, Taylor Kyles. 236 00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,160 Speaker 7: Either coach, thank you so much for your time. I 237 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,559 Speaker 7: wanted to ask you about two rookies who seem like 238 00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:37,280 Speaker 7: they may be primed for big roles. Seeing Jordan heeally 239 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 7: spend a lot of time with Brendan Schooler and Matt 240 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 7: Slater also noticed that a mere Speed was working at 241 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,680 Speaker 7: personal protector, which is a really important role for you guys. 242 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:46,679 Speaker 7: Can you speak to what they've been able to do 243 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,000 Speaker 7: so far and what you're hoping to get out of them. 244 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, No, those two guys, you know, they're trying to 245 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,240 Speaker 4: put their best foot forward. They're working hard, they're doing 246 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:58,439 Speaker 4: everything we ask this group as a whole on right now, 247 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:00,560 Speaker 4: this team is really you know, buying and they're all 248 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 4: trying to get on the field. They're trying to work hard. 249 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 4: We're trying to move as many guys around as possible. 250 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:09,959 Speaker 4: You know, it's you can't really evaluate, you know, until 251 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,040 Speaker 4: the pads come on. We just now got into pads 252 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,360 Speaker 4: and we're just now starting to see them move around, 253 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:15,040 Speaker 4: strike and. 254 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 2: That type of stuff. 255 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,440 Speaker 4: So we're trying to just get as many situations and 256 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:20,679 Speaker 4: move guys around as much as we can. And all 257 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:22,840 Speaker 4: these rookies are thrown into positions that they may have 258 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 4: not played in college or they haven't any had an 259 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,320 Speaker 4: exposure to. So we've got to figure out where this 260 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,080 Speaker 4: guy fits. Kind of like putting that puzzle together, and 261 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,680 Speaker 4: one of the early early stages of that, so the 262 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 4: more opportunities. Again, all these guys are doing a good job, 263 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,959 Speaker 4: you know, and they've got to learn multiple positions because 264 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,679 Speaker 4: in the kicking game, when one guy goes down. 265 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 2: You know, I say it, you know pretty much every 266 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:45,160 Speaker 2: year when one. 267 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:48,559 Speaker 4: Guy goes down, it's not one guy, it's really four 268 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 4: to six guys that are trying to replace that guy 269 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,720 Speaker 4: in that position. So you've got to try to do 270 00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 4: the chess pieces and move them around as much as possible. 271 00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:58,520 Speaker 4: And those guys, you know, they're doing a good job 272 00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:02,080 Speaker 4: as long as those the other guys. 273 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,920 Speaker 2: Thank you so much, appreciate Joe, and we'll do. 274 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:07,560 Speaker 5: A final question from Phil Perry. 275 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 2: How's it going good? Phil? How are we doing? I'm 276 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 2: doing well. 277 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,800 Speaker 8: You you mentioned the new rule, the fair catch rule, 278 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 8: and I'm curious has that impacted how you guys are 279 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:24,880 Speaker 8: preparing already in camp or is there anything that you're 280 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 8: tinkering with in order to kind of, you know, just 281 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 8: adjust for whatever this new rule is, you know, whether 282 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:37,720 Speaker 8: it's you know, squibbing or you know, sort of alternative 283 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 8: styles of kick Maybe two two live in this new world. 284 00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, since you asked the question. Yeah, I 285 00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:50,200 Speaker 2: think it's a terrible rule. Let's just start with that. 286 00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:55,000 Speaker 4: You know, I think it's not in favor of the 287 00:11:55,040 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 4: game of football personally. I mean, it's taken out situational football. Now, 288 00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,319 Speaker 4: we're gonna play the rules, and we're gonna do. 289 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:03,679 Speaker 2: It's best for the team. I'm gonna say that. 290 00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:06,000 Speaker 4: We're not just gonna go out there and say put 291 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:07,120 Speaker 4: the team in a bad situation. 292 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,920 Speaker 2: That would just be bad coaching. So we're gonna play. 293 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 4: The rules, and if it helps us to fair catch 294 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:13,839 Speaker 4: the rules, we may fair catch it. If it doesn't, 295 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,200 Speaker 4: it doesn't. You know, when you watch the five hundred 296 00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,680 Speaker 4: and sixty two kickoffs last season that would return from 297 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:20,960 Speaker 4: the goal line to the from the five, they're caught 298 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:23,200 Speaker 4: in that area they're talking about, you know, and they're 299 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:23,959 Speaker 4: wanting everybody to. 300 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:24,600 Speaker 2: Fair catch that. 301 00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 4: Now it's like, well, there's more balls getting past the 302 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:29,800 Speaker 4: twenty and the twenty five than you think, you know, 303 00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 4: And there's also about forty balls that hit the ground 304 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:33,719 Speaker 4: that your offense is gonna be starting inside the five 305 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,760 Speaker 4: yard line. And you know, they're talking about this muff 306 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:38,880 Speaker 4: rule and where's the ball gonna be. Well, this is 307 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,960 Speaker 4: for you know, safety or whatever it may be. And well, 308 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,000 Speaker 4: these guys still got to go cover. They're still getting 309 00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,240 Speaker 4: blocked at the forty five to forty the thirty yard line, 310 00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:48,200 Speaker 4: so there's contact usually right. 311 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:49,960 Speaker 2: When the ball is being caught. Well, if the ball's 312 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 2: on the ground, you still got to cover through. 313 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:55,120 Speaker 4: So you know, I know it's for player safety, they say, 314 00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,120 Speaker 4: and all that, we're still got to cover and they 315 00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:57,800 Speaker 4: still got to block. 316 00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 2: Same thing for us. So we're looking at all. 317 00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:05,080 Speaker 4: Situationally, the plus fifty situation. You know, it's gonna be 318 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 4: probably a little bit different for teams. We'll see how 319 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,200 Speaker 4: teams want to handle that, because you know, now it's 320 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 4: you know, you're able. 321 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 2: To fair catch it. Like college. There's a lot of 322 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:14,960 Speaker 2: college you gotta do a lot of college study because 323 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:15,720 Speaker 2: they've had this rule. 324 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,400 Speaker 4: But it hasn't stopped people from blocking or returning kicks 325 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:20,080 Speaker 4: or anything like that. I mean, you still want the 326 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,800 Speaker 4: big plays. I mean, this rule is gonna have a 327 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,240 Speaker 4: bigger outcome on games than they think. I mean, you 328 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,280 Speaker 4: go back to us against Atlanta and the Super Bowl. 329 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:29,480 Speaker 4: We talked to them twice inside the fifteen. You know 330 00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:31,679 Speaker 4: they're able to fair catch those balls potentially with their 331 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:32,440 Speaker 4: hands team. 332 00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:34,720 Speaker 2: And now maybe we don't get the ball back. 333 00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:35,920 Speaker 4: In such a good field position to go down and 334 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:37,520 Speaker 4: score the guy, game go to overtime. 335 00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:40,920 Speaker 2: So there's many of situations that show up like that. 336 00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:44,800 Speaker 4: So we're looking at them all to answer your question specifically, 337 00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,080 Speaker 4: because we have to be prepared. You know, whether that's 338 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,319 Speaker 4: the kicks that are going to go the mortar kicks 339 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:51,720 Speaker 4: of the six yard line to the ten year old, 340 00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:55,679 Speaker 4: whether that's the line drive kicks, whether that's the squib kicks, We've. 341 00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:56,680 Speaker 2: Got to look at every scenario. 342 00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:58,800 Speaker 4: Then you gotta look at what teams you're gonna do 343 00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 4: by team, and there's maybe some teams to say we're 344 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,080 Speaker 4: not returning anything. Maybe some teams say, hey, we're turning 345 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,880 Speaker 4: anything over the three yard line. So I think it's 346 00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,440 Speaker 4: gonna be a team by team basis. I think when 347 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:13,040 Speaker 4: you really look at it, though, the risk versus reward 348 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,480 Speaker 4: of dropping the ball inside the five and putting your 349 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,559 Speaker 4: offense there, versus getting tackled on the twenty one to 350 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:20,920 Speaker 4: twenty two yard line instead of the twenty five yard line, 351 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:22,520 Speaker 4: I think that's where teams are gonna have to really 352 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:25,000 Speaker 4: decide that. And you know there's gonna be contact on 353 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,200 Speaker 4: every single kickoff unless the ball is a touch back. 354 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:30,000 Speaker 4: If the ball's coming down in the field of play, 355 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:32,120 Speaker 4: there's gonna be contact on that play. 356 00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:34,280 Speaker 2: It's not like we're getting rid of contact. 357 00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 4: I mean, these kickers are kicking the ball at four 358 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:39,360 Speaker 4: four four two hangtimes. Well, you know these guys, they 359 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:43,160 Speaker 4: can run in thirty forty yards and four called it 360 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,880 Speaker 4: four two seconds. They're running, right, we're kicking, we're running. 361 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 4: We're blocking only thirty yards down the field. There's gonna 362 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:52,200 Speaker 4: be contact already. So you know, we're just looking at 363 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:55,520 Speaker 4: them all. We're working different things, trying to figure out 364 00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,200 Speaker 4: what we do best, what other teams may be doing, 365 00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:01,600 Speaker 4: So we're trying to work different things in that just 366 00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:02,960 Speaker 4: trying to figure out how the game is going to 367 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 4: be played. You know, it's very similar to in eighteen 368 00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:08,920 Speaker 4: when the kickoff rules changed and we went from running 369 00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:10,440 Speaker 4: starts to no running starts. 370 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:11,640 Speaker 2: You know, everybody's kind. 371 00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:14,840 Speaker 4: Of trying to figure out preseason, what was everybody gonna do. 372 00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:16,440 Speaker 2: Did everybody just kick touchbacks? 373 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,720 Speaker 4: There was actually more touchbacks in that preseason than normally, 374 00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:21,560 Speaker 4: just because everybody didn't want to show what they were 375 00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:23,720 Speaker 4: gonna do. On either side because it was so new 376 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 4: to everyone. 377 00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:26,640 Speaker 2: So there may be some of that throughout the preseason. 378 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:30,400 Speaker 4: Just play it normal and not show your alternative kicks potentially, 379 00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:32,520 Speaker 4: or there maybe other teams that want to see how 380 00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:35,040 Speaker 4: teams are gonna adjust or not. Just so I think 381 00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 4: as the season goes, we'll see how it's gonna play out. 382 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:40,440 Speaker 4: And you just got to take it one week at 383 00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 4: a time, and each opponent is going to be different 384 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:43,280 Speaker 4: than the last opponent. 385 00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:46,560 Speaker 8: Yeah, not to keep you way past your time here, 386 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:49,520 Speaker 8: but I did want to ask you, is there is 387 00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:50,680 Speaker 8: the muff rule? 388 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:52,480 Speaker 2: Is it what it's been in college? 389 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:56,600 Speaker 8: So if you muff a kickoff, even in that fair 390 00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:59,440 Speaker 8: catch sort of scenario, that's it's that's where the. 391 00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:01,680 Speaker 2: Offense would would get the ball essentially. Or is that 392 00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:03,720 Speaker 2: like a live ball situation now for you guys. 393 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 4: Still working on the clarification, so there's still some waiting 394 00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:10,280 Speaker 4: on the exact clarification. 395 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:12,360 Speaker 2: Our way the rule reads. 396 00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:13,880 Speaker 4: Is just it says if the ball is fair caught 397 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,040 Speaker 4: inside the twenty five, the ball will go to the 398 00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:18,960 Speaker 4: twenty five. So I'm still waiting on the We're still 399 00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,880 Speaker 4: getting the clarification on if it's gonna be exactly the 400 00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:24,320 Speaker 4: college rule, which is the least favorable spot. 401 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:25,920 Speaker 2: I mean, if you muffed the ball in the ten, 402 00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:27,560 Speaker 2: but it rolls back to the two. 403 00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:29,960 Speaker 4: While your offense gets the ball in two, it doesn't 404 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:31,240 Speaker 4: get the ball in the ten yard line where you 405 00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:31,680 Speaker 4: muff it. 406 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:33,840 Speaker 2: And then is it gonna be the punt's part where the. 407 00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:37,440 Speaker 4: Ball's live, which as of now it is life in college, right, 408 00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:40,880 Speaker 4: so they muffed the ball, call it the fifteen yard 409 00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:42,720 Speaker 4: line and it rolls forward. We have a situation like 410 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 4: that against Dallas in nineteen here in the weather, right, kick. 411 00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,120 Speaker 2: The ball balls the ground, We're going down, We're laying 412 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:49,960 Speaker 2: out for it. That's a love of football. So your 413 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,400 Speaker 2: guys still have to go cover because it's a live ball. 414 00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:54,720 Speaker 4: It's not gonna be the fair catch where the ball 415 00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:56,920 Speaker 4: is just dead and like a touchback. So guys are 416 00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,080 Speaker 4: still gonna cover, the still going to block it. Says 417 00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:01,120 Speaker 4: it's gonna be the least fair spot. So if you 418 00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:03,360 Speaker 4: muff the ball on the tenant rolls to the five, offensively, 419 00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:06,119 Speaker 4: you're gonna get the ball on the five. If you 420 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:09,360 Speaker 4: signal a fair catch and the ball hits the ground, right, well, 421 00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:11,400 Speaker 4: that's a live ball. It's a kick, it's a free kick, 422 00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:13,399 Speaker 4: so that's a live ball. So you're come covering to 423 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:15,520 Speaker 4: get to that ball. And then wherever you signal a 424 00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:17,800 Speaker 4: fair catch and you grab the ball, that's where you 425 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,240 Speaker 4: would be getting the ball at. So there's just a 426 00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:22,880 Speaker 4: little bit of things for still working through figuring out 427 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,200 Speaker 4: exactly I think talking to the officials on game day 428 00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:27,000 Speaker 4: and that that type of stuff, how they're going to 429 00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,080 Speaker 4: officiate it. That's going to be a lot of dialogue 430 00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:31,479 Speaker 4: with you know, with them, you know, and seeing how 431 00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:35,040 Speaker 4: they're going to officiate the play itself. So I think 432 00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:37,399 Speaker 4: there's still some things we have to work out and 433 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:40,720 Speaker 4: talk about, as you know, as coaches. 434 00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:41,919 Speaker 2: How we want to handle this and you know, and 435 00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:43,600 Speaker 2: that's you know, how we want to play the game. 436 00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:45,640 Speaker 4: So but you know, at the end of the day, 437 00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:47,439 Speaker 4: you know, you kick the ball, it's live. You know 438 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:49,919 Speaker 4: you're kicking off, it's live. And until that whistle blows 439 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,080 Speaker 4: and the ball is completely secure. 440 00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:53,600 Speaker 2: It's a live place. You've got to cover. 441 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:55,680 Speaker 4: You got to block on the kickoff return unit, and 442 00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:57,680 Speaker 4: you got to secure that football, you know, and then 443 00:17:58,080 --> 00:17:59,840 Speaker 4: once they do security of the way, then there may 444 00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:01,159 Speaker 4: be a little bit of let off at the end. 445 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:04,000 Speaker 5: That's interesting. 446 00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:06,800 Speaker 2: Appreciate it. Thanks, Thanks for fun. 447 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:07,040 Speaker 6: Thank
