1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:02,599 Speaker 1: I'm not because I see him do it every day. Um, 2 00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:05,600 Speaker 1: he's super talented, works at it every day. Um. You 3 00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:08,080 Speaker 1: know some of those those punch you just don't see, 4 00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:10,080 Speaker 1: especially seeing three of them. You know, you'll see a 5 00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:12,319 Speaker 1: seventy yr punt once in a while, and it's it's 6 00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:16,080 Speaker 1: spectacular that alone have three of them. Uh, it's pretty special. 7 00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:18,279 Speaker 1: And um, you know it's a it's a it's something 8 00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:20,159 Speaker 1: he works at all the time. And then to have 9 00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:22,200 Speaker 1: DT go down there and down that one at the 10 00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:24,760 Speaker 1: two was, uh, you know, just made it even better. 11 00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:27,720 Speaker 1: So those are you know, we're what we're able to 12 00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:30,600 Speaker 1: watch a very very talented punter and uh, you know, 13 00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:32,320 Speaker 1: Pro Bowl talent and uh, you know, I don't know 14 00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:34,559 Speaker 1: if you know, hopefully this is his year. If it's not, uh, 15 00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:37,120 Speaker 1: he deserves it. You know, he's a he's a special player. 16 00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:39,960 Speaker 1: We're lucky to have. I was, Um, I'm fortunate to 17 00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:42,879 Speaker 1: have him here. You've got you know, the Jacksonville Jaguars 18 00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:45,720 Speaker 1: draft him and I just walk into a spectacular player. 19 00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:47,839 Speaker 1: And I want to ask you about gun coverage and 20 00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:50,199 Speaker 1: Daniels almas as a pretty good job, but it just 21 00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:52,080 Speaker 1: seems to me that Caleb Johnson always seems to be 22 00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:54,760 Speaker 1: around the return or always around the ball when you're 23 00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:56,640 Speaker 1: trying to down on the punt every thinking that, so 24 00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:58,960 Speaker 1: you speak a little bit about the job Caleb Johnson's 25 00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:01,720 Speaker 1: done this year. Yeah, you know, he came available from Chicago. 26 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:03,720 Speaker 1: He was a guy that we targeted, said we'd love 27 00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:06,039 Speaker 1: to have this guy, let's pick him up and uh, 28 00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,480 Speaker 1: and he succeeded expectations. We knew he was gonna be 29 00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:11,360 Speaker 1: a good player, but he's been even better. Um. He's 30 00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:15,080 Speaker 1: got good hand, you know, great hands, good physicality. UM, 31 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,000 Speaker 1: he's got a good instinct and good feel to get 32 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,360 Speaker 1: to the ball. Um, you know, and um you know 33 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,279 Speaker 1: his ability to get off blocks. He has good length 34 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:24,560 Speaker 1: uh to get off him and UM, you know, he's 35 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 1: just always around the football. He's been a key to um, 36 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 1: you know, our our coverage units and as well as 37 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,800 Speaker 1: uh as our return game. You know, he's a spectacular blocker. 38 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 1: Uh in the kick returning and punt return game. Chat 39 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,640 Speaker 1: pit is the least number of special teams snaps and 40 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,199 Speaker 1: Devin I think quite his most. How did that change? 41 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 1: How did that change sort of impact the cover units? 42 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,120 Speaker 1: He didn't, you know, And that's the thing about it is, 43 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,040 Speaker 1: you know, Chat has still played a couple of phases 44 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:50,880 Speaker 1: and I think that'll be a week to week basis, 45 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,760 Speaker 1: depending on what they're doing defensively. Um. And and we 46 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 1: love having Chad. I spoke about him last week, how 47 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 1: great he is. And and uh, you know, Devin sits 48 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 1: in all the meetings. It's he's been preparing, um and waiting, 49 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 1: you know, for that opportunity to help us out anyway 50 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 1: he can. And he's all in. You know, he'll play 51 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:08,360 Speaker 1: as much as he can, as much as you know 52 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 1: we have room for him. So um, he did a 53 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:12,320 Speaker 1: great job as well. You know, there wasn't a ton 54 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 1: of opportunities, uh, you know, with only one punt return 55 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,400 Speaker 1: and a bunch of touchbacks. But he's in the right positions, 56 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,960 Speaker 1: he cares, he wants to learn them. He's coming along 57 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 1: nicely where I'm happy where Devon's at as well. Getting 58 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 1: ready for an indoor game, do you have Riley change 59 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,120 Speaker 1: where he kicks? Does he kick in the indoor more 60 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 1: this week? Since you're going up to play inside in Detroit? 61 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,079 Speaker 1: Does that matter now? Now? And honestly, it's you know, 62 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 1: classic special teams. You know we'll kick inside for outside 63 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,799 Speaker 1: for practice, but we've got to find space where we can, 64 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 1: so we'll go inside anyway like we always would do 65 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 1: um and do some extra kicks. So it doesn't change 66 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 1: us a ton as far as what we're doing and 67 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,680 Speaker 1: what our our plan is. Um. You know, obviously for 68 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:53,679 Speaker 1: specialists it's a bit you know, it's an advantage and 69 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 1: I have to deal with any wind and it's just 70 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,160 Speaker 1: more of a natural, you know ball, So um, that 71 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,920 Speaker 1: part's better. That's kind of exciting, but so much as 72 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:02,959 Speaker 1: you know, you can't overlook that, you know, it's a 73 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,799 Speaker 1: some sometimes guys get in there, they get so excited 74 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 1: to kind of have to have that great you know, 75 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:10,919 Speaker 1: no elements, and then all of a sudden you don't 76 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 1: put your your best kicks out there. So, uh, it's 77 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:15,639 Speaker 1: something we just gotta kind of focus in on. Just hey, 78 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 1: it's a clean ball, still gotta strike it the same way, 79 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 1: all the same things stuff we work on all the time. 80 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:22,679 Speaker 1: And here he knows that place pretty well, so I 81 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 1: mean he shouldn't have to worry about the elements. Are 82 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 1: getting used to it. Yeah, it's it's always unique, probably 83 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 1: going back to your to your former team, but I 84 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,240 Speaker 1: think it's probably gonna be exciting for him to see 85 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:33,960 Speaker 1: if some of those old coaches and old players that 86 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 1: he's got to know, he's has a good relationship with 87 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 1: several of them, so I think that's it's always cool 88 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 1: to go back and see some of those guys, so 89 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 1: he'll feel very comfortable. Sorry, a little bit deeper the 90 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 1: other day. Yeah, and we didn't do it quite exactly 91 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 1: what we were looking for, um, but that's part of 92 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 1: the you know, it's something we work on all the 93 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 1: time and will continue to work it. And uh love 94 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 1: to love to get him down, you know a little sooner. 95 00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,119 Speaker 1: That guy did a really good job return at him. Uh, 96 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 1: you know, he returned it pretty far. And it's it's 97 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 1: more than we were hoping for, um, But you know, 98 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 1: that's ball. We just gotta find a way to get 99 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 1: him down sooner. Um, we were able to win, and 100 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 1: that's all that matters, you know. I thought we did 101 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 1: a good job in coverage overall, and we did a 102 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 1: good job on special teams versus a very good unit 103 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,239 Speaker 1: that's you know, one of the better groups over the years. 104 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 1: And I thought our guys played really really well, you know, 105 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 1: not mattering, but what went into the decision to squip 106 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,599 Speaker 1: it rather than just not getting the back of the enzone. Uh. 107 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 1: There's always several ways to go about that. You know. 108 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:29,920 Speaker 1: It's you're dealing with a great returner. That's a very 109 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,839 Speaker 1: very good returner. You're also dealing with a very good kicker. 110 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,839 Speaker 1: Uh that that group is very very good, and it's 111 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 1: such an emphasis there. Um. Those are the uh, you know, 112 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,159 Speaker 1: those are the things we talked about all week, each week, 113 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 1: even throughout the game. What is our you know, what 114 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 1: is our thought process? And so uh, you know, Coach 115 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 1: Peterson and I talked about that throughout the game, and 116 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,920 Speaker 1: we did on that play of what's the best opportunity 117 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:54,039 Speaker 1: and we we can do it different ways, um, but 118 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,120 Speaker 1: on that instant, we thought, hey, we can waste five seconds, 119 00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,719 Speaker 1: you know, roughly five seconds and and take a play 120 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 1: away from their offense. Um. So that's just kind of 121 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 1: way it out. You kick them and kick it out 122 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 1: and you take no time off, or you're able to 123 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,920 Speaker 1: take off those extra couple of seconds, uh and take 124 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 1: a play away from him. Cool. I appreciate it.
