1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,640 Speaker 1: How did you want to juggle between burying a player 2 00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:05,760 Speaker 1: and picking him up, you know, with what Richie went 3 00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:07,640 Speaker 1: through and and um, you know, where are you going 4 00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:10,920 Speaker 1: with that? My My whole thing is when I deal 5 00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:13,360 Speaker 1: with players, it's always to build him up. It's never 6 00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:16,759 Speaker 1: to turn down. You know, I tell him all the time. 7 00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:19,599 Speaker 1: There's two types of knowledge in life. It's borrow and 8 00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:22,960 Speaker 1: it's bought. Sometimes you buy it, sometimes you borrow. And 9 00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,960 Speaker 1: you know, and Richie bought it, you know, So he's 10 00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:27,960 Speaker 1: got to keep his head up. You know. This game 11 00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:31,160 Speaker 1: is about adversity, and it's not about what happens to you. 12 00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:33,879 Speaker 1: It's about how you react to what happens to you. 13 00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:37,279 Speaker 1: And it's it'll be a test for him and uh, 14 00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:39,519 Speaker 1: you know, we'll see what happens. You've got a lot 15 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:41,880 Speaker 1: of guys competing for the spot, and we'll see what happens. 16 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:44,239 Speaker 1: What do you do? I mean you dropped? You know, 17 00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:47,120 Speaker 1: he dropped and he lost the ball. What technically did 18 00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:49,559 Speaker 1: he do? Not be right? Probably the first thing he 19 00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:53,120 Speaker 1: did wrong was where sleeves cotton sleeves with you know 20 00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:56,240 Speaker 1: what that it's kind of cool out. Probably with the 21 00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:58,440 Speaker 1: best decision, it's probably on me more than anything. It's 22 00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:01,960 Speaker 1: gonna need to take him off. Uh. And then the 23 00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:04,160 Speaker 1: second one, he just just took a shot like you 24 00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:07,400 Speaker 1: gotta hang onto the ball. I mean, that's that's just football, 25 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:09,680 Speaker 1: you know, good fundamentals, good technique to keep the ball. 26 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:11,960 Speaker 1: You know, double in trouble when you getting traffic at 27 00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:15,200 Speaker 1: a cover of ball with making the conton sleeves. Like, 28 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 1: you don't want guys to wear conton sleeves ever, because 29 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:23,080 Speaker 1: you the ball is slipped. Right, So anytime you have 30 00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 1: a regular you know, leather ball up against a smooth 31 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:31,399 Speaker 1: surface and it's not skin, that's something that you don't want. Like, 32 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 1: that's you don't ever want that running back here sleep either, right, 33 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 1: That's why you rarely see running backs have sleeves on. No. 34 00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,040 Speaker 1: I just it. It was my fault. I just I 35 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:44,680 Speaker 1: should have I should have told him to take it. 36 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:48,000 Speaker 1: I'm normally all over that, like, and it's just something 37 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 1: that I it was my fault, you know, So I 38 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 1: slipped on that one least there's some other type of 39 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 1: material he could use. No skin. That's you know, when 40 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,040 Speaker 1: when you wear when you carry the ball, you want 41 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 1: that ball firmly up against your body and you don't 42 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:09,359 Speaker 1: want anything to make it slide or move while you 43 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:14,040 Speaker 1: carry it position. Are you at the point where, if 44 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 1: he's healthy, you want to give him another shot, or 45 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 1: you at the point where it's a you know, you're 46 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:20,640 Speaker 1: you're up in the air. But we're gonna do it 47 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 1: so far. We're gonna let the week play out and 48 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 1: see what happens. You know, we got a bunch of 49 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 1: guys back there catching him. You know obviously, you know 50 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 1: you you can't put the ball on the ground. That's 51 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 1: like we all know that, Like that's no brainer. Like, 52 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 1: you know you can't turn the ball over and put 53 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,280 Speaker 1: on the ground. So we'll see what happens once you 54 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:39,120 Speaker 1: get towards the back end of the week. That list 55 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 1: who said he was at the top, well he went 56 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:44,639 Speaker 1: back there on the Seattle and was the first guy 57 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:46,800 Speaker 1: out here. That doesn't mean he's at the top of 58 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:52,640 Speaker 1: the list. Yeah, with with the rookie like Pempleton's on 59 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 1: the practice squad. As you said before, you're not sure 60 00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,799 Speaker 1: when moves are made by the people upstairs if he's 61 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,600 Speaker 1: that kind of thing. But when you're dealing with somebody 62 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 1: who has that success in college as a as a returner, 63 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,080 Speaker 1: how much can you work him in and practice to 64 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,920 Speaker 1: get him ready for if that opportunity arrived. You know, 65 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 1: Pim has been he's been working the whole season. You know, 66 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 1: since he's been here, he's been back back there catching punch. 67 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,359 Speaker 1: So he gets his work every day, catches after practice. 68 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 1: So I mean, all those guys are catching, you know, Darnay, 69 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 1: Darnay's catching after practice. Uh during practice. Uh, but no, 70 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 1: all those guys back there catching, all working at it 71 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 1: and all trying to get better at it. And that's 72 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,919 Speaker 1: that's our whole thing, just trying to get better every 73 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 1: single week. And uh, you know, contributing in a positive fashion. Yeah, 74 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 1: because he was the only other punt returner that was 75 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 1: there ready to go. In college or during game and 76 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 1: the professional ortun it's a it is a big difference 77 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 1: most of the time in college because you have the 78 00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 1: influx of all the Australian punters. There's so many of 79 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 1: them in Division one football now. Most of the time 80 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 1: when they catch the ball, it's off a bounce. You 81 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 1: rarely see the ball turnover and you get a you know, 82 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 1: fifty yard four or five for eight punt. You don't 83 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 1: see that a lot in college. Most of the time. 84 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 1: It is some type of rugby you know, end over 85 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,599 Speaker 1: end ball, and it's it's different. You know, if you 86 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 1: look at the rookie returners in this league, you know, 87 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 1: over the last first five weeks of the season, they 88 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 1: had a lot of us because you don't you just 89 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,039 Speaker 1: don't see it. You don't see the ball turnover. You 90 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 1: don't see the big balls you know being hit uh 91 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,920 Speaker 1: in college. You just it's more of a line drive 92 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 1: forty six yards on the ground. It might roll for 93 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 1: twenty you know, or you might get one that's going 94 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 1: back across the field end over and it's it's a 95 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:54,359 Speaker 1: different kind of spin. How do you approach that? Like 96 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 1: kIPS just reps. I mean, you can't you can't speed 97 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,560 Speaker 1: the process. The process is what it is, you know, 98 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 1: so you can you know, you can't push your button 99 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden they can catch that ball 100 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 1: coming out of jugs at you know, fifty yards five 101 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 1: oh hang or with a lefty spin. That's a whole 102 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 1: another different you know subjects. So you know, it's it's 103 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 1: a process. You know, you can't talk about going through 104 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 1: going through the process without going through it right being 105 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 1: being being a process driven organization like we are. That's 106 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 1: just part of the process, you know, young guys coming 107 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,559 Speaker 1: in and learning how to catch all off the foot. 108 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 1: It's just different. No sleeves put anything on their arms. 109 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 1: Yeah you said that, I didn't you. You're right, You're right. 110 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 1: And Slaton has done it, done it some, but not 111 00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 1: as much as a door. Are you be sure whether 112 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:05,279 Speaker 1: Richie will be available Sunday because of the concussion. You know, 113 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna talk about injuries, but you know, those, 114 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,600 Speaker 1: like I said, those guys are out there working and uh, 115 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 1: you know, we'll see where it happens.
