1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,520 Speaker 1: Point camp morning, Joe, how we're doing I'm doing good. 2 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:09,240 Speaker 1: I'm good. So we saw Miles Bryan doing that. How 3 00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:11,640 Speaker 1: did that kind of live on? Well, you know kind 4 00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:13,520 Speaker 1: of when you're talking about players or any guy, you 5 00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:15,280 Speaker 1: kind of found out what they can do good, what 6 00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:17,120 Speaker 1: can it not do good. That's part of the coaching 7 00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:20,720 Speaker 1: aspect is developing guys. Obviously, Miles is quick, you know, 8 00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:23,599 Speaker 1: he's headsy, smart player. So you look at the guys 9 00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:25,200 Speaker 1: like a right, he's quick, he's smart, he can make 10 00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:27,040 Speaker 1: good decisions just like well, let's see you can catch 11 00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:29,600 Speaker 1: a punt, you know. Um, So as you're evaluating guys 12 00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:32,080 Speaker 1: not only that position size guys, are they physical or 13 00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:34,199 Speaker 1: they not? So the more you can find guys that 14 00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:36,279 Speaker 1: are athletic, they could do different things. You just try 15 00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:38,080 Speaker 1: to put them in positions, you know, to make plays. 16 00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:40,239 Speaker 1: Obviously you did a great good job in the game. Um, 17 00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:45,440 Speaker 1: you can see how look's going forward. How excited you know, 18 00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:47,279 Speaker 1: he's pretty even ship, he's like your coach, I'll try 19 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:49,200 Speaker 1: no problems. So he was really good about it. Um, 20 00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:51,280 Speaker 1: anytime you'll go to a guy and you're trying to 21 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:53,239 Speaker 1: do new things that they'll get excited. You know, you're 22 00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:55,600 Speaker 1: putting a guy in a a new situation, and as it 23 00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:57,320 Speaker 1: is a defensive player putting the ball in his hands, 24 00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:59,080 Speaker 1: there's a little bit excitement about it. So he was 25 00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:03,800 Speaker 1: excited about it with that thank this summery, he's done good. 26 00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,840 Speaker 1: School has done good. Um, he's been out there working hard. He's, um, 27 00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:09,160 Speaker 1: you know, doing everything we asked for us right now. 28 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:11,959 Speaker 1: You know, obviously played a lot of ball in college 29 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:13,800 Speaker 1: severy different schools. But he's done a really good job 30 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,039 Speaker 1: for us. You know, competes a lot of effort, high 31 00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:27,640 Speaker 1: intensity kind of guy. It doesn't matter long details are 32 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:31,800 Speaker 1: first year, first team Yeah, No, the PP role, that's 33 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:33,679 Speaker 1: one of the singer caller roles for us. Obviously he's 34 00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 1: got it. He's the quarterback of the punt team. Um, 35 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:38,160 Speaker 1: you know the punter obviously give us, Well, where we're 36 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 1: gonna go, what type of ball we're gonna hit. That's 37 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:41,800 Speaker 1: kind of conversations with me and Jake. But when you're 38 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 1: on the sideline you're talking to the PP, it's like 39 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 1: we want to change the cadence that we want to 40 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,320 Speaker 1: keep it the same. Um, are we looking for certain 41 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 1: rushes and then being able to coordinate that because every 42 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,200 Speaker 1: rush you can really call it. The protection is probably 43 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 1: four or five different ways would actually call on the 44 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 1: one that we practice and the ones that guys are 45 00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 1: familiar with. A lot goes into that, you know. Um 46 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:01,600 Speaker 1: so you got i'd be able to understand the whole 47 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 1: conceptional spot, not just hey, I'm supposed to be blocking 48 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 1: this guy in front of me. You gotta know who 49 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,800 Speaker 1: this guy's blocking. This guy is this you know, the 50 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:10,360 Speaker 1: whole side on the right side, who are all they 51 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 1: are accounting for? Which way is Joe going on? Which 52 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 1: way I'm gonna send Joe. So there's a lot goes 53 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 1: into that. Um So that takes the extra meetings. Um. 54 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,360 Speaker 1: You know, we try to get with the guys on 55 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:20,920 Speaker 1: the side as much as we can. We grab them. 56 00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:22,079 Speaker 1: You know, they get a five minute break from a 57 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 1: defense meetings like hey, come in here and watch these 58 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 1: two clips. So as much as we can maximize our 59 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 1: time with those guys that are gonna be in Sydney 60 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 1: car meetings Cody, you know Slayer, all those guys were 61 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 1: trying to meet with him as much as we can. 62 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 1: DeMarcus Mitchell's seems like, guy, you spent all that time 63 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:37,639 Speaker 1: with this, Well what have you seen You know, m D. 64 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,120 Speaker 1: Mitch is doing a good job. Physical guy. He's obviously 65 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 1: a size guy. You know, we're talking about Miles, you know, ATHLETICALLYD. 66 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 1: Mitch is kind of the opposite. He's a big physical guy. 67 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 1: So you try to put him in rolls where he 68 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 1: can use that and play this physicality. He's doing great force. 69 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 1: You know, he's out there every day. You can see 70 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,240 Speaker 1: we're working with him every day. You know, we've gotta 71 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 1: continue that going forward. But he's got a great effort 72 00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 1: right now. He's doing really good job. Score on the 73 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,799 Speaker 1: signals on the punt return TAM on Thursday. Multiple guys 74 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:05,799 Speaker 1: were doing that, you know, and that's really going into 75 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 1: a game where you don't really know, you don't have 76 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 1: any film study or anything. It's like, hey, um, just 77 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:11,920 Speaker 1: call whatever you think where you can go. The ball 78 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 1: is gonna be punting, so um, you know, you can 79 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 1: just sometimes when you're looking at a punter's offset, as 80 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 1: if the punter's offsetting. You know, if he was the 81 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,120 Speaker 1: snapper and he's sitting there facing this way and I'm 82 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,639 Speaker 1: right footed, chance all the balls going left, so you 83 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 1: know we're signaling just the left right there now, we 84 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 1: obviously alert either kick direction or will change the alert 85 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 1: and that gets into the game plan. Any more schematical stuff. 86 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 1: Um during the game, we would just say, hey, the 87 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 1: ball is going in this way. You know, absolutely das 88 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 1: this classroom describe advantage. To put it in a context, 89 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 1: it's pretty tough, but you know the value of his 90 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 1: huge um. When you can have guys that are really 91 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 1: focusing in the kicking game, it allows you to do 92 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 1: more UM because you can talk to those guys and 93 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 1: those are the guys you can make adjustments with. And schematically, 94 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 1: one guy can do the same thing, but this other 95 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,160 Speaker 1: guy may be doing four different things and to another 96 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 1: opponent looks like you're doing a lot, but to them, 97 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:20,840 Speaker 1: it's just really a couple of guys that are doing 98 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 1: a lot, and those are the guys you're spending the 99 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,359 Speaker 1: extra time with. So when you have guys what we 100 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 1: call like impact special team's emphasis players, you know Cody 101 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,680 Speaker 1: Slate justin Bethel, those guys, it allows you to do 102 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 1: a lot with them, and it allows you to increase 103 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 1: your game plan without stressing the mental taxation of guys 104 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,279 Speaker 1: that have a lot of bigger offensive or defensive role. 105 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 1: So you know, The value of that is huge. You know, 106 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,160 Speaker 1: we try to keep obviously guys like that for the 107 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 1: kicking game, which is why you know, hopefully well continue 108 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:54,360 Speaker 1: to be successful. Second, remember from Nick's try out, Uh 109 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 1: we're in the stadium. I hem I think he was 110 00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,839 Speaker 1: like midweek. Yeah, it was midweek. You know we do 111 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,599 Speaker 1: it was periodically we're bringing guys to kick um, just 112 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:04,720 Speaker 1: because you never know who's the next guy available. You know, 113 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,719 Speaker 1: that position is different. It's it's evolved now that the 114 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 1: you know, sixteen practice squad players. You know, before when 115 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,039 Speaker 1: it was less practice coquard players, you didn't have as 116 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 1: many guys on the roster to have the next guy up, 117 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 1: So it became like who's out there and you had 118 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 1: to always stay on top of that, like who's the 119 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,160 Speaker 1: next punter, who's the next long stripper, who's the next kicker? Um. 120 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 1: So you'll do those periodically throughout the season, bringing guys 121 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 1: in evaluate them. Obviously, Nick was a different situation. We 122 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:29,720 Speaker 1: had a guy here injured, It's like, all right, who's 123 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 1: the next guy? All right, and that's when um, No, 124 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:33,920 Speaker 1: he did well. Though. The best thing you bought about 125 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 1: Nick is and you can see it is his demeanor. 126 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,280 Speaker 1: He's a true pro. He showed up, he was ready 127 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 1: to go. He's like, all right, these are what I 128 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:41,720 Speaker 1: want to do to warm up. This is he had 129 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:43,840 Speaker 1: a routine. It wasn't something you're wronging about and you're 130 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:45,599 Speaker 1: trying to coach the guy in mid season. It's like, 131 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 1: all right, you're gonna do this this and it was 132 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:49,840 Speaker 1: like he was a straight pro and struck the ball well, 133 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:51,840 Speaker 1: you know, had no issues in the stadium and everything 134 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:56,920 Speaker 1: like that. Me personally know, um, other people in our 135 00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:58,839 Speaker 1: locker room because he pulls at the Jets for forever, 136 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 1: so there's a lot of familiar there um, and other 137 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 1: coaches that interacted with him. Um. Joe Houston obviously knew 138 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:06,360 Speaker 1: who it was and everything like that, so it was 139 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:15,359 Speaker 1: a good connection. Last question, guys, So we're going there 140 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 1: as much as we can, and honestly, it's changed every 141 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 1: day we've been in there. UM. So it's gonna be 142 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:22,920 Speaker 1: a trial and error, I would say, task. But as 143 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 1: much as we can get in there because the construction's 144 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:26,760 Speaker 1: improving every day, they're doing a great job with that. 145 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 1: It's going to change the kicking game, UM, and it 146 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 1: won't be as the same as last year, and it 147 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 1: won't be the same this year as it's gonna be 148 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:34,600 Speaker 1: next year. So as much as we can get into 149 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 1: the stadium and kick in the elements and we hope 150 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 1: it's bad, I honestly hope the worst it is during 151 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 1: the day, the better it is for us um because 152 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:42,720 Speaker 1: on these days like this, like it wasn't the game 153 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,279 Speaker 1: and there's no wind, you know, those are great days. 154 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 1: It's great day to be a kicker, a specialist. Yeah, absolutely, 155 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:52,040 Speaker 1: it's the uh and uh the days you know, when 156 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 1: it's hard and kicking in the wind, that's when you 157 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 1: can find out what a specialists really can do. Right, 158 00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 1: Thank you guys, absolutely think
