Speaker 1: People when you make up the the new kickoff rules
Speaker 1: and whether you see uh uh a better opportunity for
Speaker 1: returners like you.
Speaker 2: Uh, it's kind of well, like, looking at it is
Speaker 2: kind of weird, but I feel like on on the
Speaker 2: side of we don't force the returning team, I feel
Speaker 2: like we have ah a real big advantage of like
Speaker 2: you make one got missed. I mean, it's it's just
Speaker 2: you and a kicker, and nine times out of ten
Speaker 2: the kickers not making tackles. So I'm pretty sure like
Speaker 2: people will try to turn like skill guys into kickers
Speaker 2: at some point if it continue to go just so,
Speaker 2: they'll have a last line of defensive tackling.
Speaker 3: Oh for sure.
Speaker 1: How much the change it like make you wanna do
Speaker 1: it more?
Speaker 2: I mean just looking at it, it's just like you know,
Speaker 2: I feel like at some point, like if it, if
Speaker 2: it don't got to this point, I feel like in
Speaker 2: a couple of years or so, it won't probably won't
Speaker 2: be a kick return or s uh anything along those lines.
Speaker 2: With I feel like it's gonna be a lot of
Speaker 2: touchdowns coming from not just us, but from other teams
Speaker 2: as well, cause I'm pretty sure other people got a
Speaker 2: lot of skilled guys.
Speaker 3: That's you know, really good in space as well.

Speaker 2: Sitting here at July, I just leak me personally. I
Speaker 2: just take it day by day, you know, from offense
Speaker 2: to defense. You see like you see the same things
Speaker 2: you've been seeing.

Speaker 2: and he's pretty cool, got his break.
Speaker 1: People are the receivers a little different? What do you
Speaker 1: think of cowing? What do you think of Piersau so far?
Speaker 2: Pierce I was on a recovering from a hamstring, so
Speaker 2: he'll be back next week. But the things I was
Speaker 2: seen in l ot As when I was here, very fluent,
Speaker 2: very fast. Jacob you know's flying fast guy. Just watching
Speaker 2: his tape from college. He's still tough with decides that
Speaker 2: he have. And I think if you're in well with.
Speaker 1: Us, do you were back to the kick? The kick
Speaker 1: returns real quick. I mean in years past you would
Speaker 1: do it usually when there's high stakes and they really
Speaker 1: need it. I I get the sense you want to
Speaker 1: do this from go.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't mind doing it from the get go. You know, uh,
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. I'm a I'm a team
Speaker 2: first player. So if col was like, hey man, we
Speaker 2: don't want you to do it full time, we just
Speaker 2: use you whenever we really need it, and I'm fine
Speaker 2: with that.
Speaker 3: But if you wanna use me full time, and I'm
Speaker 3: off for that as well.
Speaker 1: You right, you changed vocally in terms of your role
Speaker 1: as a leader, especially so many young.
Speaker 3: Guys coming in. I wouldn't say that.
Speaker 2: I'm more of a like, lead by example type guy,
Speaker 2: go out here and work hard. So that's my way
Speaker 2: of leadership. I'm I've never been like a a row
Speaker 2: rode guy called a team up and like yell at
Speaker 2: somebody this, that and the third. But if somebody drop
Speaker 2: a ball or make a mistake, you know, I'm not
Speaker 2: gonna yell and we're gonna pull it to the side
Speaker 2: and we'll chop it up that way.
Speaker 3: Far as like not making the.
Speaker 1: Scene's more, you see more vocals guys coming.
Speaker 2: Up to nah, Yeah, that's just that's just part of
Speaker 2: the game. Like you know, Uh, you go out here
Speaker 2: and make a play, you gonna che your teammate on.
Speaker 2: If you make a bad play, you still gotta you
Speaker 2: gotta be the leader and chop him up and tell
Speaker 2: him what he did wrong.

Speaker 2: I can do is just tell him keep his head up.
Speaker 3: Things is gonna work out.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's just day by day, like it's a
Speaker 2: long process, like real long. It's frustrating. All I can
Speaker 2: do is tell him keep his head up, be where
Speaker 2: his feed are. Just continue to do the things that
Speaker 2: he do for his communication on his end and the end,
Speaker 2: and hopefully things just pay out. Huh, try to turn
