22
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 1: Since we last talked to you, U Joe Shane had

23
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 1: a press conference. He said Punk returner with his dad.

24
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:20,520

29
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 1: it is what it is. We get guys that are

30
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 1: on the roster, we try and put them in places

31
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 1: to make plays and that's our job. Their job. Our

32
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 1: job is to put them in place. Their job is

33
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 1: to make the play. So you know, it is what

34
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 1: it is. I mean, it's that's that's just part of football.

35
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 1: I mean it's you know, you get a guy you

36
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 1: think he can do certain things and it's and it's

37
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 1: still time, Like Eric still has time. I mean, it's

38
00:01:55,840 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: just the maturation process of growing as a football player

39
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: and trying to figure things out. You know, it's just

40
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 1: part of Now that you have.

41
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,639
Speaker 2: Caite on the practice squad, how does that help maybe

42
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,079
Speaker 2: developmentally be Is he just able to focus on whatever

43
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 2: you guys been working on.

44
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's it. You know, Kay's a young kicker,

45
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 1: and you know, you got to look at young kickers

46
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 1: as a whole. In this league, most of them get cut,

47
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: you know, three or four times, if not more than

48
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 1: that before they stick. You know. I had Michael Pollardi

49
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 1: when he was with us in Carolina. He's a punter,

50
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: but specialists in general. He was cut almost eighteen times

51
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 1: before he's stuck, you know, and then he won a job.

52
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: He won a job, and his first year he was

53
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: a second altarate int the Pro Bowl, you know. So,

54
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 1: I mean that's just that's part of a lot of

55
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: these guys process. It is rare that a guy just

56
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,239
Speaker 1: shows up, gets drafted or is picked by a team

57
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 1: and then he stays with that same team for fifteen years,

58
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 1: like the Sebastian Janikowski's of the world or justin you know, Tucker.

59
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,519
Speaker 1: I mean, those guys are rarety You rarely see those.

60
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 1: Most of them get cut a bunch of times before

61
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 1: they stick. That's just part of the process of kickers

62
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 1: in this league. I mean, it's just because most of

63
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,959
Speaker 1: the time, young kickers, they're gonna miss kicks, you know

64
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 1: what I mean. Like, it's rare where you see a

65
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: guy just comes in and his rookie year, you know,

66
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 1: he bangs out ninety percent of his kicks. I mean

67
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 1: it's just that position, absolutely, absolutely absolutely. You know you

68
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 1: look at you know a few years back when we

69
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 1: had alder care Altri with seventy five percent, you know,

70
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 1: his rookie year, and then he comes back the next

71
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 1: year and he breaks the franchise record for you know,

72
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 1: field percent. So I mean that's just when you have

73
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 1: talented guys, you got to commit to him. And then

74
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: once you commit to him, you got to know, hey, look,

75
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: this guy's gonna miskicks, you know, because they got to learn.

76
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: Just like every other position, young quarterbacks make mistakes. You know,

77
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: running backs make mistakes. You know, they all make mistakes.

78
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 1: They're young.

79
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 2: What's the the long terravel for him? Because I mean

80
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 2: you have Graham, So how do you view that.

81
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 1: There right now? Just working with him because he's here

82
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:06,160

83
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 1: as businesses, you just never know, you know, you never know. So, uh,

84
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 1: he's he's doing a really good job. But we just

85

Speaker 1: got to keep continuing trying and get him better, bring

86
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,120

Speaker 1: bring him make sure that by the time he leaves

88
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 1: here he's a little bit better than what he was

89
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:26,160
Speaker 1: when he loved when he got here. What makes ja dangerous?

90
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 1: Jaydon He's you know, Jadan is talented, talented kid, and
