1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,759 Speaker 1: Hi, Cam. We've seen a lot of guys taking reps 2 00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:05,400 Speaker 1: of the two return spots, and I'm wondering what you've 3 00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:08,440 Speaker 1: seen in that competition for those two roles, you know, 4 00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:10,280 Speaker 1: and when it comes to that position, I think you 5 00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:13,840 Speaker 1: gotta keep evaluating guys on a daily basis. Um, you know, 6 00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:15,880 Speaker 1: in the elements, with the wind everything. That's why you 7 00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:17,760 Speaker 1: see a lot of guys repping back there. You can 8 00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:20,639 Speaker 1: never have too many guys ready at that position because 9 00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:22,959 Speaker 1: you never know, especially the situation winning this year, Um, 10 00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:24,439 Speaker 1: you never know who you're gonna have to call on. 11 00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:26,799 Speaker 1: So the more guys we can actually rep back there, 12 00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:29,080 Speaker 1: the better we're gonna be just to give him a 13 00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:31,560 Speaker 1: situation in the games. So that's the biggest thing. That's 14 00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:33,239 Speaker 1: why you're seeing a lot of guys rolling back there 15 00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:35,639 Speaker 1: as much as possible. And the more depth we can 16 00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:38,560 Speaker 1: create there that that's gonna be a team advantage because 17 00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:41,400 Speaker 1: then now you feel comfortable with several guys going into 18 00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:46,760 Speaker 1: a game. Next question, Eric's cologno, and I'll encur you 19 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:48,360 Speaker 1: anybody else to reach your hand if you want to 20 00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:52,120 Speaker 1: ask the question, Morning Cam, Thanks for your time today, Morning. 21 00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:57,040 Speaker 1: Has it been more challenging for you guys this year 22 00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:01,680 Speaker 1: to evaluate your kicking competition based on all the variables involved, 23 00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:05,400 Speaker 1: no spring, no preseason, having come in a little bit 24 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:09,040 Speaker 1: later into camp. You know, as far as evaluating, I 25 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,400 Speaker 1: think you have to just continue on a daily basis 26 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:13,399 Speaker 1: and just see what we can approve on. And that's 27 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:15,240 Speaker 1: part of the coaching, you know, that's part from our 28 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,600 Speaker 1: perspective is we've got to put everybody in the best 29 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,720 Speaker 1: position that they can to succeed, and we've got to 30 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:23,920 Speaker 1: just evaluate them on a daily basis. You know, we 31 00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 1: still have some time here. We got to keep evaluating. 32 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:28,640 Speaker 1: And then you know, anytime you can have a veteran, 33 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:32,200 Speaker 1: whatever position it may be, come in and provide some 34 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:34,920 Speaker 1: leadership and that have been through the competition, that goes 35 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:39,119 Speaker 1: without saying value. You know, able to talk to younger 36 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 1: players in any position. So anytime you have a veteran 37 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:43,400 Speaker 1: that you're able to do that with, that goes without 38 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,319 Speaker 1: saying what he can bring to the table and how 39 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 1: I can help you in the aspects of age. This 40 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 1: is a game situation, that type of thing. How if 41 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 1: I could just follow up quickly, how do you try 42 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:59,640 Speaker 1: to simulate as best you can pressure situations and practice 43 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 1: that you're wan't going to get in preseason games. So yeah, 44 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,760 Speaker 1: that's that's a challenge. You know. It's kind of more 45 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 1: similar to when you go back to like college and 46 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,640 Speaker 1: when I was in college, is we don't have preseason 47 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 1: games in college. You go from training camp to a game. 48 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,800 Speaker 1: So when you look back at those situations, it's like 49 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:18,680 Speaker 1: what shows up in the game all the time, and 50 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,240 Speaker 1: how can you put the players in the most realistic 51 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 1: game situations that show up? And the best way you 52 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:26,840 Speaker 1: can simulate that is just give a situation from the 53 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 1: game and say, all right, here we go and try 54 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:32,240 Speaker 1: to create as much pressure in practice on these guys 55 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 1: as possible and to be alert and aware. That's the 56 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,680 Speaker 1: best thing you can do is just figure and study out, Hey, 57 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,240 Speaker 1: what situations show up all the time? What situations may 58 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:43,480 Speaker 1: show up just on accurrence here one or two times, 59 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:45,800 Speaker 1: but you still have to simulate those and you have 60 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:47,920 Speaker 1: to prioritize a little bit as a coach, like what's 61 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 1: going to show up the most, and then you got 62 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 1: to put the guys in every position in those situations 63 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 1: and just relay the message all right, here's the situation 64 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:57,640 Speaker 1: and here we go. How are we going to respond, 65 00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,840 Speaker 1: and you don't tell them beforehand what the situations they're 66 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 1: going to be. You don't let them know when you're 67 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 1: going to practical situation be. You kind of throw up 68 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,520 Speaker 1: to him on the sideline like, here we go, this situation, 69 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 1: this is what we're doing. So it's more like a game, 70 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 1: and it's like, okay, you know that this is how 71 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 1: we got to simulate end game speed being locked in 72 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 1: no one what's going on on a play in playout basis. 73 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,360 Speaker 1: And if I can just trouble you for one more, Um, 74 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:25,520 Speaker 1: it's the first time I can recall that you have 75 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 1: a coach on your staff and Joe Houston who's actually 76 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,240 Speaker 1: played one of the specialist positions, and how valuable has 77 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 1: he been and helping you guys evaluating the kicking competition 78 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 1: in particular. You know that goes with us, say any 79 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 1: time like you've got you know, former players that are 80 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 1: coaches or guys that have done it. You know, you know, 81 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 1: obviously Houston kicked in college and everything, so you know 82 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 1: he brings value from that standpoint for sure. Um, And 83 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 1: you know, and you trust the guys that have done 84 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 1: it before. You trust his eyes, you trust what he's saying, 85 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 1: and he does bring some value to us obviously in 86 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 1: that capacity for sure, as well as the other guys. UM, 87 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 1: but it is a little bit different. You don't see 88 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 1: that a lot for sure. UM. So it's definitely brought 89 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 1: some value to us as a group for sure. Thank you, 90 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 1: thank you. Next question, Jim Mcbrian kemp, I wanted to 91 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:16,839 Speaker 1: ask you about Justin and how you've seen him progressed 92 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,599 Speaker 1: through camp and how you think he responded to the 93 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 1: team bringing in a veteran kicker for some competition. You know, 94 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 1: anytime you know Justin, you know, continue to progress, you know. 95 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 1: And that's the thing we stressed to all the guys 96 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:30,560 Speaker 1: is you got to just get a better day after 97 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 1: better day, um, you know, and just continue to develop. 98 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 1: And that's part like us at the coaching aspect of 99 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:37,920 Speaker 1: it and giving him the best to succeed on a 100 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,360 Speaker 1: daily basis. And then as far as like you know, 101 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,360 Speaker 1: to your point, um with your question, anytime you can 102 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 1: bring in a veteran I think young players really if 103 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 1: they take to it, because the guys have been in 104 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 1: those situations before and we bring in quality guys and 105 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 1: it's our job as coaches to make the decisions. It's 106 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 1: their jobs just to get better. And anytime you can 107 00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 1: add a guy such as you know, just friends such 108 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 1: as Nick that has better and leadership and that has 109 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 1: done it in a day and a day beasts, I 110 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,920 Speaker 1: think any young player relies on that and is able 111 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:10,720 Speaker 1: to learn from those experiences if I can just I'm wondering, 112 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,240 Speaker 1: do you have a marvel when you watch Matthew Slater 113 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,480 Speaker 1: and Justin Betteville on their gunner moves and just how 114 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 1: quickly they get down and how challenging is that for 115 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 1: the for the return man. You know, those two guys 116 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,680 Speaker 1: have always competed at a high level. We're in a 117 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 1: unique situation to have two quality guys out there, you know, 118 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 1: which creates creates great different matchups for teams. But you know, 119 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,600 Speaker 1: the best thing that they do, and this goes back 120 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 1: to their leadership, is they learn from one another. It's like, hey, 121 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,039 Speaker 1: why'd you do that this time? Well, why'd you do 122 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:43,119 Speaker 1: that this time? So they're always evolving and it helps 123 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,640 Speaker 1: us as a coach obviously have two guys like that. 124 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:48,119 Speaker 1: But the best type part of it is they're getting 125 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 1: better every day and they're talking to one another because 126 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 1: the guy may do something a little bit different than 127 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,120 Speaker 1: someone else, but it's effective for him. And then you 128 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:55,920 Speaker 1: want to know why is it effective for him? Well, 129 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:57,839 Speaker 1: maybe I can do that, maybe I can add that 130 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 1: to my toolbox. But those two guys, they compete every day, 131 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,479 Speaker 1: and it's really a pleasure to coach those type of 132 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 1: players every day in day out. I was wondering if 133 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 1: you saw the video of Joe Judge participating in the 134 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 1: public recovery drilling and your reaction to that yesterday. Actually, 135 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 1: I have not to be honest with you completely, Hoyes, 136 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 1: with you. I may have to check into that. You know. Yeah, 137 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 1: I'd like to give him, Joe still a hard time. 138 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:23,560 Speaker 1: You know, obviously we work together well, I have a 139 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 1: great relationship. I may have to go look that up. 140 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:30,479 Speaker 1: I have not actually seen that. No, pretty entertaining, I 141 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:36,359 Speaker 1: can imagine, I can imagine. Thank you, Cam, Thanks everyone, 142 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:37,480 Speaker 1: Thank you everyone.
