Speaker 1: Like you were apologizing miss Robbie. Is is kind of he's

37
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 1: kind of he was. He was focused on a couple

38
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 1: of other things while we're doing the interview.

39
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was just faced out man, like only two

40
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 2: guys I've ever had to do that with. Yeah, yo,

Speaker 2: ended the.

44
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 1: Interview was ESPN Radio.

00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 2: Yes, he was like, bro, like never, we'll talk to you, like, thanks,

Speaker 2: thanks for your time. Though he was he was promoting

47
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:09,799
Speaker 2: the product. He knew nothing about.

48
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 1: Oh was this a Super Bowl or was Judy just

49
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: I don't know.

50
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 2: It was so bad that the PR and radio stages

51
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 2: from Denver got hold of an interview and start calling us, like, man,

52
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 2: this dude's an idiot and he he he was like,

53
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 2: I don't know what he was like if this dude

54
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 2: was on something like this dude tripping listen.

55
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: Robbie's a good guy. He was just focused on a

56
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: couple of other things.

57
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 2: It was a crazy interview. It was like, but you

58
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 2: never know, some guys are don't don't speak a lot, right,

59
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 2: So he was only giving like one word ass like bro,

60
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 2: you know this is entertainment, right.

61
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: So we came out of the break and you're still

62
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: talking about it after we thanked him for coming.

63
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 2: On, Like bro, that was the worst, all right.

64
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 1: So the big news here this week was Aaron Rodgers

65
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 1: going on Pat McAfee's show on Tuesday and his regular

66
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:57,919
Speaker 1: weekly appearance.

67
00:02:58,240 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 2: I have money to pay Aaron Rodgers so he could

68
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 2: be my weekly Do you.

69
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:03,359
Speaker 1: Think we should work on that for next year in

70
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:04,119
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four.

71
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 2: There's a couple of things.

72
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 1: It's gonna cost you seven digits, So there's a couple

73
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 1: of things to get to here.

74
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 2: We ain't got seven digits to spare like that, No surprise, right,

75
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 2: And we got seven digits like that, then we need

76
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 2: to we need to up my salary and we can

77
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 2: we can do without it, no sound, no surprise right

78
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 2: when you when you think about the statement that was

79
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 2: made before the game saying that if it was a

80
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 2: one point zero zero zero one point chance, it was

81
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,639
Speaker 2: still a chance he would play. But at this point

82
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 2: it's no reward at all, all risk because if he

83
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 2: hurts something and you know, looking at you know how Sam,

84
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 2: you know got hurt last week, you know, getting hit,

85
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 2: you know, took a vicious hit, it's no need for

86
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers to take Yeah, zat Zach, it's no need

87
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 2: for Aaron to take that type of punishment. So let's

88
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 2: just live to fight another day. The good news that

89
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 2: came out that is he believes he wants to play

90
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 2: a couple of years, which I believe that's what he

91
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 2: wanted to do anyway, was to play multiple years this

92
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 2: year and next year. And because he only played four snaps,

93
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 2: he doesn't consider this a year or you know, maybe

94
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 2: if he had played eight games, got hurt, then maybe

95
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 2: he'll consider it would have considered it a year and

96
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 2: say I want to play one more year. So now

97
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:22,159
Speaker 2: this means that the Jets has a solid commitment from him, right,

98
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,480
Speaker 2: you know. And the solid commitment, so I don't expect

99
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:27,359
Speaker 2: him to have to go into a hole or go

100
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,479
Speaker 2: into darkness retreat or anything like that. He'll do what

101
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 2: he does to get his mind right for next year.

102
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 2: But the fact that we know that we can have

103
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers for two years changes the way you go

104
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 2: about free agency, changes about the way that you go

105
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 2: about the draft. So you know, I think that that

106
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 2: statement alone multiple years means to me that you know,

107
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 2: you have to build around Aaron Rodgers because you may

108
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 2: have an opportunity to win a Super Bowl. If you

109
00:04:58,000 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 2: win it the first year, you have an opportunity to

110
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 2: run it much really similar to what Tom Brady did

111
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 2: in Town.

112
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:08,159
Speaker 1: Rogers has always played this game at such an elite level.

113
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,159
Speaker 1: He dealt with injuries. That last year in Green Bay

114
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 1: before being traded over here. He tears the chilles.

115
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 2: But that was broken hands, So that's you're.

116
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 1: Still with the thumb right now.

117
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,599
Speaker 2: I think other Nixon, I really don't think about that

118
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:26,920
Speaker 2: as like a aging injury.

119
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, So That's what my question is. So he's forty,

120
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 1: he'll turn forty one next season, But you have confidence

121
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 1: after watching guys like Brady late in their career that.

122
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 2: Hey, Lebron, Lebron James. You have to put all great athletes.

123
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 2: I think in the same category. Lebron James's acts and

124
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 2: his body to do way more than what Aaron Rodgers is, right,

125
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 2: because you're talking about basketball, you're playing offense and defense,

126
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,719
Speaker 2: and you're keeping up so like you're going by people,

127
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 2: but then now you got to check somebody as well.

128
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 2: You know, Aaron Rodgers is just playing off and so

129
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 2: I have full confidence that he can play at high level.

130
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 2: And I always have this conversation with people when they

131
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 2: talk about, well, he's forty forty one, I always say,

132
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers, whatever his ages, take off four years and

133
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,599
Speaker 2: that's what his real age is. Because he was a backup,

134
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 2: he didn't get a lot of wear and tear. He

135
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 2: didn't get like a lot of He hasn't had a

136
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,039
Speaker 2: lot of injuries. He hasn't torn his acl and all that.

137
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,479
Speaker 2: So this is his first major injury. So I don't

138
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 2: look at him as a typical you know, forty ye oh, quarterback,

139
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 2: you know, and I kind of compare it to like

140
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 2: guys like Brandon Jacobs and big guys who were young

141
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 2: but wore down hard because the type of position that

142
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 2: they play in the style in which they played. Right.

143
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 2: We talk about Yeah, we talked about Earl Campbell right

144
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:47,039
Speaker 2: six years Right, we talk about some of the great

145
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 2: like runners like Eddie George. They didn't play late into

146
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 2: their career. I mean, Frank Gore played forever. He was

147
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 2: an anomaly. I mean the fact that he was able

148
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 2: to play at a high level and still absorb that

149
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 2: type of position. But quarterbacks, especially now where where the

150
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 2: game is so less physical in the quarterback has so

151
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 2: much protection and probably that tackle that he got, not

152
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 2: saying that it was illegal, but they're going to take

153
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 2: that weight drop tackle down away as well, so you

154
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 2: don't worry about those type of tackles going forward.

155
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 1: So here we are three games remaining, Jets eliminated from

156
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: postseason contention. It was a huge and probability to begin

157
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 1: with as far as entering last weekend, but they lose

158
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 1: to the Dolphins. What I think people at home struggle

159
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 1: with is how would all this look different with Rogers

160
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 1: Because we know that he is an unbelievable player at

161
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 1: the most important position in all of sports. So it's hard,

162
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 1: I think when people are taking it in and they

163
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 1: see the Jets offensive struggles for such a long time

164
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: and say, well, how different does this look if Rogers

165
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 1: is there?

166
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 2: Well, when you talk about war in baseball, that's what

167
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 2: I'm talking about, ye wins over replacement or whatever, not

168
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 2: the traditional word war.

169
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 1: Of course, you.

170
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 2: Would like to think that Aaron Rodgers is a plus

171
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 2: two plus three. Well, if the Jets were plus two

172
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 2: or plus three, where would they be. They would be

173
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 2: in the thick of it. There would be there'll be eight,

174
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 2: eight wins, maybe the seventh seed even.

175
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 1: War nine, seven and six. Right if you flip it,

176
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 1: three three wins.

177
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:38,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, three wins, that's what I'm saying. So, like you,

178
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 2: you would think that they would be writing the thick

179
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:43,439
Speaker 2: of it in a wide open AFC where anybody gets

180
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 2: hot and styles make fights would be able to win,

181
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. Maybe the run game would

182
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 2: be a lot better because of non loaded boxes, because

183
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,719
Speaker 2: you know, if you give Aaron Rodgers off coverage, he's

184
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 2: just gonna raise up and throw it to it and

185
00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 2: make that play. A run play and not even tell

186
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,199
Speaker 2: tell this offense that he's doing that. He just has

187
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 2: his cold word is one word with his receiver. A

188
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 2: guy playing off in cover three ten yards off Boom

189
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 2: instead of running the ball there you go tackle my

190
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 2: guy in space. Giving guys opportunities like Garrett, giving guys

191
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 2: like opportunities like you know, Gibson, given guys opportunities like

192
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 2: Lizard just to raise up. And those are just the

193
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:24,080
Speaker 2: things that his football acumen gives you advantage of. You like,

194
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:27,680
Speaker 2: he makes the game easier because because he's doing the thinking,

195
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 2: you know, for for the team, right he's thinking at

196
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 2: such a high level, Jedi level, that he's able to

197
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 2: think the game and you know a lot of times

198
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 2: that the game is more mental than it is physical

199
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 2: at times, and he'll, you know, he'll always put you

200
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 2: at the right position, the right play. Not saying it

201
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,560
Speaker 2: is going to be perfect, but it's an added advantage

202
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:49,680
Speaker 2: when you have players that can think the game the

203
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:50,679
Speaker 2: way that Aaron Rodgers can.

204
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 1: We know the Jets have multiple offensive needs. We're not

205
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 1: going to talk about the offseason at this point. Well,

206
00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 1: just with the Rogers conversation, talk about the defense. Does

207
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,320
Speaker 1: your mind go back as somebody who played the game

208
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:08,680
Speaker 1: and also who's commenting about the game every day and say,

209
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 1: you know, I wonder how this would have played out

210
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty three if Rogers was healthy, because it

211
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:22,439
Speaker 1: sure feels like the AFC has a open feeling that

212
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,319
Speaker 1: we haven't had quite some time. I mean, I know,

213
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 1: Kansas City's defending champions and Baltimore is very good.

214
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 2: But everybody's beatable right on any given Sunday. And if

215
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 2: you've got a great game plan and you have you know,

216
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 2: efficient productivity and everybody plays well, any team could be

217
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 2: in any team in the AFC. And you imagine, like

218
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 2: what that would have looked like with a healthy Rogers

219
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 2: and a healthy avt Ye. You know, because Abt, I believe,

220
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 2: is probably the most valuable player on the offensive line

221
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 2: because of his ability to get on the edges and

222
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 2: be able to do things. And you look at how

223
00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 2: Tipman has got better. Just imagine pulling the center and

224
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:04,079
Speaker 2: the backside tackle. What that would look like, you know

225
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 2: what I mean, being able to get extra bodies to

226
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 2: the open side.

227
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:10,199
Speaker 1: You like avt more long term tackle, even though he

228
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: can do both.

229
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 2: No, no, I think listen it depends on what you're

230
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 2: able to fill the team with. I think at some

231
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 2: point we're going to have to decide what he is

232
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,320
Speaker 2: and what he's going to stay at, and that's something

233
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 2: he has to decide. But I'm sure right tackles get

234
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,719
Speaker 2: paid more than guards. I mean, Nelson, Quentin. Nelson did

235
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 2: a great job in raising the price for guys like

236
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 2: that and Zach Martin this off season, so I think

237
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 2: maybe that closed the gap. But I just need Avt

238
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 2: to be healthy. I mean that that was a draft

239
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 2: pick that you hit on. The talent isn't the issue.

240
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:45,679
Speaker 2: The versatility is an issue, but now the durability is

241
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 2: an issue, and you don't know how many. I don't

242
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 2: worry about the first injury, the tricep or the by set,

243
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,320
Speaker 2: whatever it was. I don't worry about those because those

244
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 2: don't affect you as a player as far as I

245
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 2: move before. But now you talk about the what was

246
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:04,080
Speaker 2: it Achilles? You talk about Achilles. That's that's a different thing, right,

247
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 2: and we have to figure out, you know, as the Jets,

248
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 2: it's what three Achilles this year? Our woods?

249
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 1: Yes?

250
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 2: Abt, Aaron, Yes, I think you really have to figure

251
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 2: out how to.

252
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 1: It feels like injuries are off across the Yeah.

253
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:28,319
Speaker 2: But but but then particular injuries achilles has been you know, JK. Dobbins.

254
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 2: A lot of guys, you know Phillips, right, it's a

255
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 2: lot of guys with that. So a lot of times

256
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 2: you have to start looking at Okay, what kind of

257
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 2: shoes are these guys wearing? What kind of prehab can

258
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 2: we do to strengthen and elanate the tendons so it's

259
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 2: not so tight so it doesn't pop? Right? Most of

260
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 2: these guys have tight calves, which means tight hamstrings. How

261
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 2: do we loosen that up? How do we you know,

262
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 2: make sure that we stretch those and we warm them

263
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 2: up properly before activity every day instead of just you know,

264
00:12:57,920 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 2: doing it when you feel like it. You know what

265
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 2: I mean? I used too, you know, it was a

266
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 2: fear that because I have flat feet. That later in

267
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 2: my career, they talk about how African Americans over thirty,

268
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 2: how they have a higher tendency because we have high

269
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 2: calves and this is a little bit and you know

270
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 2: other stuff. High calves which means that we flat feet,

271
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,960
Speaker 2: high calves, you know, a lot of tension on achilles.

272
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 2: They were concerned so I made sure every day before

273
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,560
Speaker 2: I did anything, I did extensive warm up on the

274
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 2: slant board to warm and stretch my calves and my achilles. Yes,

275
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 2: because I already have plant fasciitis. Do you ever?

276
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, And that's what an awful injury isn't that. Yeah,

277
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 1: let's go back to Rogers real quick. How want you

278
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,319
Speaker 1: like his mindset? When you just hear the guy talk,

279
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 1: the hear like other dudes, like the way he phrases

280
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 1: things and his approaches.

281
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:52,840
Speaker 2: I mean, he's a he's a forward thinker, right, Like,

282
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 2: he's a guy that's opened to everything, and an open

283
00:13:56,520 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 2: minded person is a great person to listen to and

284
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 2: be around because he doesn't shun ideas. He listens and

285
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 2: internalizes his ideas. And you know, his attack to rehab

286
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 2: and stuff like that was another example of his belief

287
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,200
Speaker 2: system as just as a person a right, So, I

288
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,320
Speaker 2: think a lot can be learned from a guy like that.

289
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 2: It's a mindset. Yeah, like the Black Mamba, Yeah, like

290
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 2: Kobe a little bit. So we call him White Mamba.

291
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I wonder if he liked that, Nicknam, Yeah,

292
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 1: so we gotta get him in the studio though, you're

293
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 1: saying seven digits.

294
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, well look, he ain't gonna charge you seven.

295
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 2: It's his family. It's different. He might just do this

296
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 2: off the strength off the love, I mean, because he's

297
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 2: not going to play. So this is the greatest platform

298
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 2: that he can do to speak to his peoples, not

299
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 2: the McAfee show. To speak to your people directly. This

300
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 2: is jets put out information, you know what I mean.

301
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 2: So you talk to your people. You do this show.

302
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 2: You sit in this seat. Yeah, you talk to E,

303
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 2: A and B. Ski you take you can.

304
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 1: Follow what you did your map back in old nine.

305
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 1: Join it yet content as a player, and then there

306
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 1: was a little break in action when you went to

307
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 1: CBS stuff like that. All right, so three games remaining.

308
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 1: What do you want to see? What do you want

309
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 1: to see? Because if you're a fan, you're already you're

310
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 1: so upset, disappointed that you're in the situation. But there's

311
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 1: that tug pushing Paul right that, Hey, I want a

312
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 1: good draft pick, but also you want your team to

313
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 1: play well. You want to see individuals succeed. What do

314
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 1: you want to see?

315
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 2: I want to see that. I want to see all

316
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 2: the young players get an opportunity. I would love to see, like, listen,

317
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 2: I know Breech probably has goals that he wants, but

318
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 2: I want to see you know, you know, we know

319
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 2: that Dalvin Cook probably won't be here, so I want

320
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 2: to see I want to see a guy like is

321
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 2: he Abana Kana get an opportunity to get meaningful rep

322
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 2: I want to put him in tough spots. I want

323
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 2: to see him on third down pick up blitzes because

324
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 2: next year you're going to expect him to do that,

325
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 2: So I'd rather him get some type of on the

326
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 2: job training before the season start. I want to see

327
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 2: Rutgers start. I want to see him start and see Okay,

328
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 2: you know who knows what the future of UZAMA is,

329
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 2: So I want to see that guy, you know, go

330
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 2: out and start. You know, cochlan comes in and maybe

331
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 2: you know, spells him and see if he can handle

332
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 2: the load, the game plan, the pressure, the football action

333
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 2: I'm trying to develop now, right, you know, I'm looking

334
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 2: at Will McDonald like. I want to see him start.

335
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 2: I want to see him in pressure situation. I want

336
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 2: to see him on the strong side, leaning against the run.

337
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 2: I want to see him anchor. I want to see

338
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 2: him take on double teams. I want to see him,

339
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 2: you know, be disciplined, getting up the quarterback depth, spending underneath.

340
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 2: I want to see that. I want to see young

341
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 2: guys put in tough situations to see how they respond

342
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 2: on the lights turn on.

343
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 1: I like that. What do you make of carryover? There's

344
00:16:57,680 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 1: no carryover, right.

345
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 2: This is more well, it's momentum.

346
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 1: You can yeah, but you gained momentum as an individual.

347
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,639
Speaker 1: I'm saying like team wise, like, if you finish strong,

348
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:11,200
Speaker 1: can you take that into the offseason.

349
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 2: Yeah. A lot of teams we talk about all the time,

350
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 2: teams that finished seven and nine back in the day,

351
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 2: seven and nine, and then the next year they come

352
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 2: back and they win the division. Like we've always talked

353
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:23,360
Speaker 2: about that team's goal. It's always a team that takes

354
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 2: that jump from six and ten and next year they're

355
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:29,120
Speaker 2: a number one seed. That's always been the case, right, right,

356
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 2: because it's it's not a far distance from six and

357
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 2: ten to you know, you know, thirteen and five. You

358
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 2: know what I mean. It's like what it is is

359
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,720
Speaker 2: learning how to finish right, and you start realizing the

360
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 2: differences and the small details that make the difference between

361
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:47,159
Speaker 2: winning and losing. And how many of those games if

362
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 2: you would did things right way, if you would have

363
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:53,640
Speaker 2: been disciplined, if you wouldn't have pivotal bad mistakes, where

364
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:55,120
Speaker 2: you would have been Each.

365
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:57,639
Speaker 1: Game is his own season. I know that, But why

366
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,679
Speaker 1: such a discrepancy when you see the second half against

367
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 1: Houston and then you see what happened for sixty minutes

368
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 1: against Miami.

369
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 2: Well, in my in my opinion, Robert Sala going into

370
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 2: this game everything that Demico Ryan are a lot of

371
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 2: stuff that themic O Ryan knows he learned from him. Yeah,

372
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:19,360
Speaker 2: so you understand and know those principles, so you attack him.

373
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:23,640
Speaker 2: And on the flip side, Mike McDaniels knows a lot

374
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:27,159
Speaker 2: about conceptually what this defense does, what gives him problems,

375
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 2: And he knows because he's practiced against him and practice

376
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:32,879
Speaker 2: over and over again. But he has the type of

377
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 2: weapons that can really cause trouble for schematically what they do.

378
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 2: I mean, he knew that that Robert Sala doesn't flip corners,

379
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 2: So you gave him an idea of a matchup that

380
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 2: he knew he could take advantage of and going over

381
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 2: and saying, hey, I can take the best player that

382
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,440
Speaker 2: we have, not our best player when Tyreek Hill is here,

383
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:55,159
Speaker 2: but our best player and get him against you know,

384
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:58,400
Speaker 2: not saying DJ Red isn't a great player, but they

385
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 2: like the matchup. Yes, a length is what gives waddle issues.

386
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 2: Not a guy that's that's short and quick and powerful.

387
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 2: Maybe some some some some receivers don't like length and speed, right,

388
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 2: because that length allows guys to recover and you can't

389
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:16,159
Speaker 2: get on top of them because they can keep you

390
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 2: at harm's length. So then he can run two right,

391
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:24,119
Speaker 2: So and so understanding that right, you know, maybe that

392
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:30,360
Speaker 2: knowledge from going against former teams, uh teammate, which that's

393
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 2: what Salam mcdaiams was, you know, hurt. It helped them

394
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:35,640
Speaker 2: one week and hurt them the following week.

395
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 1: What do you think the response is gonna be here?

396
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:43,879
Speaker 1: Jets are five and nine, we're playing at home. This

397
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,919
Speaker 1: crowd is gonna be like, hey, you guys better do

398
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:49,719
Speaker 1: something early. This is a Washington this Christmas eve bro,

399
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:52,199
Speaker 1: this is a it's a Washington team at four and

400
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 1: ten bart they won their first two games, so talk

401
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 1: about struggles. I mean they're two and ten in their

402
00:19:58,280 --> 00:19:59,160
Speaker 1: last twelve.

403
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:01,920
Speaker 2: Well, they decided to clearly to move in a different direction,

404
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 2: and they're flipping it. They they they traded their two

405
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:11,440
Speaker 2: best defensive players, like who trades two great pass rushers.

406
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 2: They let Chase Young walk out the door, and they

407
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 2: let Montes Sweat who has twelve and a half sacks.

408
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,400
Speaker 2: He had six for them then and now he has

409
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:21,639
Speaker 2: six and a half for the Chicago So proves that

410
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:23,639
Speaker 2: he can take the show on the road and be

411
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 2: a multi scheme type of player. He may he's gonna

412
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:30,639
Speaker 2: end up with fifteen sixteen sacks this year. You let

413
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:33,120
Speaker 2: that walk out the door because you decided you weren't

414
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:35,439
Speaker 2: gonna pay him, But you paid your D tackles. Hooper

415
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:39,199
Speaker 2: who doubles down on paying two D tackles. Usually you

416
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 2: pay one D tackle and one outside. Not since Minnesota

417
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 2: has I ever seen a team invest so heavily in

418
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 2: D tackles like the Williams brothers, Kevin and Pat Like

419
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 2: I haven't seen it ever again. But to let two

420
00:20:56,800 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 2: potentially all pro pass rushers go that you drafted, that's

421
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 2: a fireable offense in itself.

422
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:09,680
Speaker 1: Sam Hall, he's the young player back there at the

423
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:12,680
Speaker 1: signal caller position. Jacobe Brissett, we saw him last week.

424
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 1: Verse enters the game up and down the field. He's

425
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 1: moving that offense. How's an interesting guy because he's athletic,

426
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 1: he's tough, he's a little bit smaller. They like to

427
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 1: throw the ball up top. On paper, I think this

428
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 1: is a favorable matchup for the Jets. You can say

429
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:31,960
Speaker 1: that most weeks as far as their defense is going

430
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 1: going against an opposing offense. But they like to get

431
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 1: the ball down the field.

432
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 2: So you gotta takes two of them, so you gotta.

433
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 1: Stay on top of you said, scary Terry. They got Curtis, Samuel,

434
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:48,920
Speaker 1: Dodson and Dotson. So what do you think about the

435
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,200
Speaker 1: Jets corners against these three guys.

436
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 2: I mean, they gotta be disciplined, right because they're going

437
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 2: to take shots. So you can in this game, you

438
00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:01,240
Speaker 2: can stop nine out of ten, but the tenants to

439
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 2: one that people's gonna remember, depending on if it's a

440
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 2: big play or if it's a touchdown, or if it's

441
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 2: like a Jalen Waddow, you know, seventy yard or however

442
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 2: long that was touchdown that takes in the gates everything

443
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 2: that you had done the other nine times because of

444
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:16,400
Speaker 2: that one tenth time.

445
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 1: I think this is the game where Sauce gets his

446
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:24,159
Speaker 1: first interception of the year. No, listen, he's gonna have

447
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:24,919
Speaker 1: some opportunities.

448
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, Sam How is not gonna be afraid to throw

449
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:29,400
Speaker 2: the ball at anybody, right, all right, so I mean

450
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 2: he's going after big play sleigh. Right. They've played Philadelphia

451
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 2: very well two straight damn times that they played him.

452
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 1: So we're taping this Wednesday morning. Robert Style hasn't talked yet.

453
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:44,040
Speaker 1: I think the starting quarterback decision for this game may

454
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:46,960
Speaker 1: go later in the week because he said that there's

455
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 1: a possible protocols. Right, Yeah, he's in protocol. He said

456
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:55,159
Speaker 1: if he was asked directly, if he's cleared later in

457
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 1: the week, could he start without practicing, and he said

458
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 1: he could. But if it's Trevor Simeon, how do you

459
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 1: make this a functional unit that we saw against Houston

460
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:13,440
Speaker 1: compared to the breakdowns that we saw against Miami, different opponent.

461
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:15,960
Speaker 2: You gotta run the ball, man, you still have to.

462
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:18,399
Speaker 2: It always stops and starts with running the ball and

463
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 2: being effective running the ball. So they can't run the ball,

464
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 2: then that's going to allow extra resource to be applied

465
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 2: to stop in the pass and you know, entirely defensively

466
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:33,159
Speaker 2: I told you how great they are with I always

467
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 2: say his name wrong. It's Pain and Allen, Right, two

468
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 2: different guys to Iron Payne or something something that they

469
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:43,640
Speaker 2: can be game breakers. And this team still plays hard man.

470
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 2: So this is evenly matched game and they got to

471
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:51,200
Speaker 2: figure out how to get a win. Last time you're

472
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:52,440
Speaker 2: going to be in front of your home crowd, you

473
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 2: want to leave them with a positive taste in their mouth.

474
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:57,159
Speaker 1: We talked about it before. What do you make of

475
00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:00,640
Speaker 1: the conference? What do you make of the division? Not

476
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:02,639
Speaker 1: just this year but long term? Because the just are

477
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:07,479
Speaker 1: gonna be bat on Miami for a while. Buffalo seems

478
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:10,200
Speaker 1: that they have fine on its footing here a little.

479
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 2: Bit maybe a little bit too late. You know they

480
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 2: had you know they have, I forgot who they have.

481
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:16,120
Speaker 2: They have a couple of tough games.

482
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 1: I think they got the Chargers Patriots, and then Miami

483
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:22,440
Speaker 1: Miami that that that may be to get into postseason

484
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 1: for them, and then New England. This is a crazy

485
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:26,360
Speaker 1: set up here.

486
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 2: Well, it's it's the reset for them. Who knows that

487
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 2: Bill Belichick is going to still be on the team.

488
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:34,399
Speaker 2: If he's going to still be there.

489
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 1: What were your thoughts and what were your thoughts be,

490
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 1: because there's been reports that they could part ways.

491
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean Jack's final game. I mean it could

492
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 2: be time. Yeah, it could be time. Right, you talk

493
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 2: about you know, they're moving on from their quarterback, you know,

494
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:53,720
Speaker 2: and they didn't do a great job in developing and

495
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 2: I know that could be said for for this organization

496
00:24:56,359 --> 00:25:02,159
Speaker 2: as well. But they're clearly going to be drafts and

497
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:05,119
Speaker 2: they're right now the number two, number overall pick. So

498
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:08,439
Speaker 2: are you going to trust Bill Belichick to develop that quarterback?

499
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 1: I was saying, how crazy would it be if this

500
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 1: ends up being Belichick's last game and you're sitting there

501
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:20,200
Speaker 1: with the number two overall pick heading into that matchup

502
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:24,359
Speaker 1: against the Jets and Caleb Williams is out there, Drake

503
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:25,160
Speaker 1: May's out there.

504
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, they have an opportunity to get a

505
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 2: generation of what we feel like is to can't miss quarterbacks.

506
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:35,400
Speaker 2: But then, you know, people said that about many drafts

507
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 2: and that hasn't been the case. So be careful what

508
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:39,359
Speaker 2: you wish for.

509
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:44,679
Speaker 1: So Christmas coming up, you got any plants?

510
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 2: No, man?

511
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:48,120
Speaker 1: Just what are heetting the kids? Yeah?

512
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:51,679
Speaker 2: Well the kids already taken care of, you know, Santa. Okay,

513
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 2: with them or what. Yeah, my kids do a good job, man,

514
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:56,960
Speaker 2: I can't. They don't really act for stuff, so they're

515
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 2: doing a good job man. So I think I think

516
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:02,240
Speaker 2: they Gucci with Sanah. But you know one thing I

517
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 2: like is they don't really ask for stuff or really

518
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:06,639
Speaker 2: have desires for stuff. Maybe just because they buy stuff

519
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 2: all year round, so maybe that's maybe it's a difference.

520
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:12,159
Speaker 2: But they don't really go too crazy. My daughter always

521
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:15,879
Speaker 2: wants candles, and well my daughters. If anybody wants anything,

522
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:17,920
Speaker 2: it's my daughter. But it's not really anything crazy. It's

523
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:24,639
Speaker 2: you like bomber jackets, cool jeans, and like candles, I

524
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 2: mean gets she wanted some type of floaby thing or

525
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 2: something to put it, put her hair in in it

526
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 2: makes it curly when it comes out, when you come out.

527
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:32,280
Speaker 2: I don't know.

528
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 1: Uh, let's say them here because I want people to

529
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:38,439
Speaker 1: go out to the pulse. Give me a reason why

530
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:43,159
Speaker 1: the following players are Pro Bowl worthy.

531
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:46,440
Speaker 2: Soft Gardner, I mean, Sauce is probably want the most

532
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:50,879
Speaker 2: avoided players in the league. So you can't look at

533
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 2: stats all the time with them. Just know that heated

534
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:56,640
Speaker 2: doesn't get the ball thrown his way. He ranks high

535
00:26:56,640 --> 00:27:00,359
Speaker 2: and man, the man and zone, which is rare. Some

536
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:03,439
Speaker 2: guys are dominant in one. He's dominant in both. I

537
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 2: think he breaks over ninety five in both categories. Right

538
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:09,920
Speaker 2: before DJ Reid, DJ Reid, I think, you know, last

539
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:12,399
Speaker 2: week was a tough week, but you know that's the

540
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 2: first time we saw him struggle. I thought he was

541
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:18,879
Speaker 2: actually playing better than the Sauce before last week. But

542
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:21,200
Speaker 2: he's been playing at a high level. And like we said,

543
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:24,199
Speaker 2: like we don't switch side, So everybody that you want

544
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 2: to give Sauce credit for stopping or DJ Reid has

545
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 2: done the same.

546
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:28,679
Speaker 1: Michael Carter second.

547
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:30,479
Speaker 2: Mike Carter second. I think it is one of the

548
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:32,959
Speaker 2: best players at his position. I mean, he plays at

549
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 2: such a high level. To me, he's the best nickel

550
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:38,359
Speaker 2: in all the football CJ. Mosey, Well, Mosley's just you know,

551
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:43,720
Speaker 2: he gets underrated as far as you take it for granted, right,

552
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 2: and that's the definition of greatness doing the small things routinely.

553
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:50,320
Speaker 2: So I mean he's already a four or five time

554
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 2: Pro bowler. So yeah, this is just Quincy. I think

555
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:58,359
Speaker 2: had a breakout season. You you said earlier, you know

556
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:01,159
Speaker 2: on our other show that we take about where he

557
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:06,640
Speaker 2: ranks as far as tackles for loss sacks passed right right,

558
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:08,399
Speaker 2: So it's like real round, it's gonna be tough too,

559
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:12,119
Speaker 2: because you know the kid, and it's always tough to

560
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:14,159
Speaker 2: try and be the new kid breaking into a new

561
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:16,760
Speaker 2: swat because we know one of those spots is already

562
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 2: probably reserved for Ray cron Smith because they have the

563
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:22,960
Speaker 2: best record in the AFC and he's playing at the

564
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,199
Speaker 2: high level. He's a brand name as well. You know

565
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:30,119
Speaker 2: this this new kid Zaire uh leads the league and tackles,

566
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 2: so that's gonna be so it's gonna be tough. And

567
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:37,679
Speaker 2: their team is actually in the playoffs, so that it's

568
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 2: it's all kind of factors that at least one of.

569
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:44,440
Speaker 1: Those guys should go, mostly Quincy Uh, Quentin Williams.

570
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 2: Well, Quinn is a brand name. I don't have any

571
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 2: problems with Quinn getting and he's getting a lot of attention.

572
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 2: And now this sack numbers are starting to get to

573
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 2: a respectable spot where people are like, oh that they

574
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 2: but before it was glaring because she's getting triple team. Yeah,

575
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:01,080
Speaker 2: but look at how many the other guys are eating

576
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 2: off his plate. Yeah, Jefferson eat off his play. All

577
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 2: these guys are having career years because Quinn is taking

578
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 2: up all the resources.

579
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:10,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, those are the other two guys that wanting on

580
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 1: Bryce Off and Jermaine Johnson.

581
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 2: They both Yeah, but we know, we know, we know

582
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 2: how this game goes. Like, you got Miles Garrett, you

583
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 2: got some war dads, you got the Allen Josh Allen

584
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:21,960
Speaker 2: down there, no doubt like so like it's gonna be

585
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 2: tough letting, but the fact that he'll get some votes

586
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:27,760
Speaker 2: and nominated, he'll probably be alternative alternate, you know, just

587
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 2: speaks a lot volumes about him.

588
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 1: Garrett Wilson should get some votes. I mean, yeah, I

589
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 1: know the numbers aren't going to compare it to some

590
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 1: of those other guys to he still got seventy nine

591
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 1: catches playing with four different quarterbacks.

592
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:41,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's tough sledding, but I think he gets respect.

593
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 2: I mean, listen, if he doesn't go, take take note

594
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 2: because next year, hopefully you'll have Aaron Rodgers and then

595
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 2: you'll be able to make your case.

596
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:52,240
Speaker 1: Preestall has quietly become one of the best backs as

597
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 1: far as receiving that.

598
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, they just haven't been able to find a way

599
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:58,240
Speaker 2: to to for him. To run the ball. And it's

600
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:00,200
Speaker 2: weird because last year he ran the ball. That's such

601
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:02,240
Speaker 2: a crazy clip and early in the season. But you

602
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 2: mentioned it before. It's because avt out of the lineup.

603
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 2: I think there's a correlation here. Yeah, yeah, it's always

604
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:10,480
Speaker 2: a correlation right between those two. Ring game goes those

605
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 2: two together. Man, they like the dynamic duel.

606
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:16,240
Speaker 1: And Tyler Conklin. I'll tell you what. From a tight

607
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 1: end position, I know you want seeing more reps and

608
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:21,560
Speaker 1: he's definitely gonna get some more rops down the stretch.

609
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 1: But Conklin quietly has had a nice year as well.

610
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:26,720
Speaker 2: Of course he's having a career year for himself, right,

611
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 2: And you know, but I just say record just because

612
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 2: like next year moving forward, he's gonna be there. You

613
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 2: know what you're gonna get from Conkland, right, you know

614
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 2: what he is and what he's capable of. And you

615
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 2: want to see, like some of the young guys the future,

616
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 2: you know, see what they can do and put them

617
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 2: in meaningful games. Playing the preseason is not meaningful. You

618
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 2: want to see what it's like when they got to

619
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 2: make real, live decisions when everybody's playing.

620
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 1: And this is what the final three games are going

643
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 1: We're at your by punter Thomas Morristaid. Thomas, thank you

644
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 1: so much for joining us. One thing I got to

645
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:08,880
Speaker 1: ask you, what are you most proud of her this season?

646
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:13,360
Speaker 1: You got twenty eight points down inside the twenty, you

647
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 1: got fifteen down inside ten, and I believe you have

648
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:19,760
Speaker 1: six down inside the five yard lift.

649
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, I didn't know the exact numbers, so that's cool

650
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:30,280
Speaker 4: to hear. You know, I think I'm just proud of

651
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 4: being here. You know, three years ago, I got cut

652
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 4: from the Saints and had a bad injury, and I

653
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:42,160
Speaker 4: just struggled to kind of get past it and couldn't

654
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 4: get a work out with anybody just because of my age,

655
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 4: And you know, I just kind of made a commitment

656
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 4: to myself that I was going to just stay ready

657
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:54,480
Speaker 4: and get back healthy, and if I didn't get an opportunity,

658
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:55,280
Speaker 4: then I could live with it.

659
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:56,320
Speaker 5: But I if.

660
00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 4: I did get an off and I wasn't ready, I

661
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:01,400
Speaker 4: would regret it. So I just trained and it was

662
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:03,840
Speaker 4: very frustrating time because I feel like I was the

663
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:05,880
Speaker 4: best punter in the league for a decade. In the

664
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 4: twenty tens, and to not even be given a workout

665
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:11,760
Speaker 4: or you know, get an opportunity was difficult.

666
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 5: So I just stayed ready.

667
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:15,680
Speaker 4: And then when I came here in the week two

668
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:19,720
Speaker 4: of twenty twenty one, you know, I showed everybody that

669
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:21,840
Speaker 4: I was still playing at an elite level.

670
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:25,040
Speaker 5: And then and so just kind of the.

671
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:29,040
Speaker 4: You know, the I've seen the really good side of

672
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 4: this business and and the tough side of the business,

673
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 4: and to kind of like persevere through that and have

674
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 4: to go to a few different teams to kind of

675
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:41,800
Speaker 4: get my you know, get back in and to kind

676
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 4: of like really just you know, been I called elite consistency.

677
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:49,280
Speaker 5: You know, I don't have the highest punt or the

678
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:51,240
Speaker 5: farthest punt in the league.

679
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:56,240
Speaker 4: And to be statistically competing at the top of the

680
00:33:56,280 --> 00:34:00,320
Speaker 4: you know league in a bunch of areas and doing

681
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:02,480
Speaker 4: it as the oldest player at my position and have

682
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 4: come through that and my kids to have seen me persevere,

683
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:07,320
Speaker 4: it's like a really unique opportunity.

684
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:10,560
Speaker 5: And so I'm just proud to be here.

685
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:15,279
Speaker 1: You're not an old guy, but by NFL standards, you

686
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:18,279
Speaker 1: are an old guy. Yeah, So thirty seven, you got

687
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 1: four kids, what other ages and what has been a

688
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:25,919
Speaker 1: like been a been at all been like for you

689
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:28,799
Speaker 1: as far as them being able to watch dad on

690
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 1: the field perform at such an lead level.

691
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:36,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, So I've got Maxwell's nine boy, Beckett is eight boy,

692
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:41,160
Speaker 4: Maggie's six girl, and Rossallely is four girl, and it's

693
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:44,680
Speaker 4: been amazing. I remember about two weeks after I got

694
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:48,239
Speaker 4: cut three years ago, and you know, it was the

695
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:50,200
Speaker 4: first time me and my wife kind of sat down

696
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 4: and kind of felt like somebody died, like we were

697
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:55,600
Speaker 4: grieving like our homes in New Orleans and we've been

698
00:34:55,600 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 4: there my whole career. And she just finally asked, like

699
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:02,160
Speaker 4: after two weeks, she was like, so, what do you

700
00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:06,680
Speaker 4: think you want to do? And I just remember like

701
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:08,320
Speaker 4: telling her, I said, you know, I know it doesn't

702
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:10,840
Speaker 4: look great right now, but I just know I'm not

703
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:14,480
Speaker 4: done right, I'm and I'm I just need to like

704
00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:18,600
Speaker 4: recalibrate and get back into my training how I've been

705
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:21,600
Speaker 4: able to for so long, Like I already know what

706
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:23,160
Speaker 4: the script is, you know what I mean, I know

707
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:25,080
Speaker 4: how to do what I you know how to train

708
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:28,799
Speaker 4: what I need to do to get back. And I said,

709
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:30,759
Speaker 4: what do you think you know, because it's going to

710
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:33,800
Speaker 4: now not have the stability. It could be us moving around,

711
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:36,000
Speaker 4: it could be a lot of change.

712
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:38,240
Speaker 5: And she just said, you know, all.

713
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:41,680
Speaker 4: I know is you've got an opportunity to show your kids,

714
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:45,080
Speaker 4: particularly your boys, who are the older ones that kind

715
00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:47,759
Speaker 4: of know what's going on. You've got an opportunity to

716
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:50,839
Speaker 4: show them how to get up when you get knocked down.

717
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:56,160
Speaker 4: And I I just remember being like floored that she

718
00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:58,960
Speaker 4: just hit me with that, Like it was basically like

719
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:03,680
Speaker 4: nothing else matters. People are telling you to retire, don't

720
00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 4: ruin your legacy. You've done it all with the Saints

721
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:10,080
Speaker 4: and all this stuff. And she was like, you've got

722
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:12,400
Speaker 4: a chance to show your kids how to handle some

723
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:16,359
Speaker 4: adversity and you may never get this opportunity again. And

724
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:21,719
Speaker 4: I remember just being floored. And so, yeah, I mean

725
00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:26,640
Speaker 4: it's been amazing. They know, you know, it was hard

726
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:29,120
Speaker 4: on them, right. Are we allowed to be Saints fans anymore?

727
00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:29,279
Speaker 1: So?

728
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:32,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, we'll always be Saints fans, you know, well we're

729
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 4: you know, we still live there and they love the

730
00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 4: team and we still root for that team. But they've

731
00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 4: kind of learned the business side as well, and you know,

732
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:43,359
Speaker 4: you know, well do you have to do? You have

733
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:45,400
Speaker 4: to keep working because then you're going to be gone.

734
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:47,719
Speaker 4: And you know, it's just there's a lot of dynamics.

735
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:50,440
Speaker 4: And so they've they've kind of been through it with

736
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:52,879
Speaker 4: with us all. We've all done it together, and I'm

737
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:55,400
Speaker 4: really proud of it. And uh, you know, there's been

738
00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:57,920
Speaker 4: sacrifices made by everybody. You know, we moved everybody up

739
00:36:57,920 --> 00:36:59,600
Speaker 4: here this year, and we pulled them out of their

740
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:02,640
Speaker 4: school homeschooling this year so that we could all be together.

741
00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:04,680
Speaker 4: And that's been hard because they're they're missing all their

742
00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:09,440
Speaker 4: buddies down south and going somewhere where you don't know anybody.

743
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:12,399
Speaker 4: So it's been a challenge for them, but it's also

744
00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:14,440
Speaker 4: been kind of a growing experience for the family. We've

745
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:18,840
Speaker 4: kind of we're all together, and we've made it to

746
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:20,160
Speaker 4: where a lot of friends have been able to come

747
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:22,279
Speaker 4: up and visit and stay with us and come have

748
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:25,600
Speaker 4: a cool experience up in New Jersey, New York, and

749
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:27,960
Speaker 4: and so it's been good. It's been a good change

750
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:29,800
Speaker 4: and a good good year of growth of the family.

751
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:33,960
Speaker 4: And honestly, I feel like we've kind of as a family,

752
00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 4: we've gotten away from the rat race. Because of that,

753
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:39,920
Speaker 4: we've created our own schedule and we've kind of had

754
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:45,120
Speaker 4: a nice Yeah, we found a teacher here in Floram

755
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:49,799
Speaker 4: Park who is who specializes in in that, and so

756
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:51,959
Speaker 4: she comes to the house a few hours every day

757
00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:57,200
Speaker 4: and kind of, you know, Mom's helping out, Lauren's helping out,

758
00:37:57,239 --> 00:38:01,640
Speaker 4: but but she's like teacher and so that mom can

759
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:04,640
Speaker 4: still be mom and you know, not have to be

760
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:05,719
Speaker 4: both all the time.

761
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:06,600
Speaker 5: So it's been good.

762
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:09,359
Speaker 4: It's been a good challenge and it's allowed the kids

763
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:10,799
Speaker 4: to kind of have a little more freedom and we

764
00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:13,719
Speaker 4: haven't been rushing around constantly getting the kids out the

765
00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:15,520
Speaker 4: door to all these different things. They still have a

766
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:17,719
Speaker 4: few activities, but it's been a little bit of a

767
00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:20,160
Speaker 4: recharge for our family this year, and it's been nice.

768
00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:23,400
Speaker 1: Can you talk about being AFC Special Teams Player of

769
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:26,080
Speaker 1: the Week after the Giants game when you had one

770
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:30,279
Speaker 1: of the best puny performances I've ever seen, So you're

771
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:33,000
Speaker 1: talking about Juts franchise history. I only go back twenty

772
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:35,440
Speaker 1: three years here, but if you go back to nineteen sixty,

773
00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:38,920
Speaker 1: I don't know if anybody ever pointed better than you

774
00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:42,759
Speaker 1: in that game. And why was it such an emotional

775
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:45,280
Speaker 1: moment for you following the win.

776
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:48,200
Speaker 5: Just because of what I talked about.

777
00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:50,239
Speaker 4: One of my most proud about being is just being

778
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:58,279
Speaker 4: here and having kind of you know, persevered and to like,

779
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:02,759
Speaker 4: it's not just it wasn't just that performance, right, I

780
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:04,759
Speaker 4: mean we just had a pun a lot that day.

781
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:06,000
Speaker 5: I just got my number called lot.

782
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:11,560
Speaker 4: It was it just you know, I felt it from everybody,

783
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:17,040
Speaker 4: and I felt it before that game. That just magnified everything, right,

784
00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:22,320
Speaker 4: But I felt the love and support from teammates where

785
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:25,880
Speaker 4: like there's only one of us on every team, right,

786
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:29,560
Speaker 4: a kicker and a punter, and so like, as a

787
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:32,840
Speaker 4: general rule, you want your teammates to be like Glad

788
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:36,640
Speaker 4: that you're their punter in that in every game.

789
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:38,600
Speaker 5: Right, That's how I look at it, Right.

790
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:43,440
Speaker 4: If I'd like to be the better player eighty percent

791
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:45,719
Speaker 4: of the games, if that makes sense, that's kind of

792
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:49,480
Speaker 4: my mark of being super valuable to the team. And

793
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:53,480
Speaker 4: I felt that almost every single game this year, where

794
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:55,640
Speaker 4: it's like, all right, we're Glad more Stead's our guy,

795
00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:59,399
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying, And that it just kind

796
00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:03,080
Speaker 4: of spilled over in that and it was emotional, and.

797
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:07,520
Speaker 5: You know, people keep asking.

798
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:08,080
Speaker 2: What are you going to retire?

799
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:09,319
Speaker 5: Like how much long do you want to do this?

800
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:11,920
Speaker 4: And all that stuff, And it's just because of my age,

801
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:15,840
Speaker 4: but it's like, I don't feel like I'm at that point.

802
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:17,400
Speaker 4: I know I'm not at that point, but at the

803
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:21,000
Speaker 4: same time, you know that statistically you're kind of close,

804
00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:24,480
Speaker 4: you know what I mean, And so I don't know.

805
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:26,239
Speaker 4: I feel like it's kind of like a glimpse into

806
00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:27,640
Speaker 4: the aging process just in life.

807
00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:28,840
Speaker 5: It's just relative to football.

808
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:30,680
Speaker 4: It's like you get closer to the end and you're

809
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:34,600
Speaker 4: still able to enjoy doing the things you're doing. It's

810
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:36,799
Speaker 4: hard not to appreciate it differently, especially when you've not

811
00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:39,080
Speaker 4: had it, when you've lost it at some point and

812
00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:40,960
Speaker 4: you've been on the street, you haven't had a job,

813
00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:43,680
Speaker 4: and to get back in there's just a different level

814
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:45,400
Speaker 4: of appreciation for.

815
00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:50,680
Speaker 5: Being able to do it. And I guess that's that's

816
00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:51,799
Speaker 5: why I can explain.

817
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:55,319
Speaker 1: That how is that dynamic being a punner, Because I

818
00:40:55,360 --> 00:41:02,759
Speaker 1: think on Sunday against up your next opponent, which of

819
00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:04,960
Speaker 1: course is the Washington Commanders, you were going to set

820
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:07,360
Speaker 1: a career high in terms of punts for a season.

821
00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:09,400
Speaker 1: I think you're previous.

822
00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:10,759
Speaker 5: I've already passed it.

823
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:13,439
Speaker 1: I thought it was a season. I thought it was.

824
00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:16,400
Speaker 5: We're over eighty for the season. I've never done that before.

825
00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:20,200
Speaker 1: So so so okay, so speak to that. I don't

826
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:23,600
Speaker 1: know if there's speak to the dynamic of Hey, offensively,

827
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:25,359
Speaker 1: we want to score points. I want to be part

828
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:27,680
Speaker 1: of a winner, but also as a performer, you like

829
00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:29,280
Speaker 1: going out on the field and helping the tea.

830
00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:30,399
Speaker 5: I don't think of it that way.

831
00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:36,640
Speaker 4: You know, I've I've punted forty three times a few

832
00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:39,160
Speaker 4: times in my career for a whole for a whole season, right,

833
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:41,000
Speaker 4: which is like half of what we've done this year.

834
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:45,480
Speaker 4: And my point in saying that is, I don't look

835
00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:47,240
Speaker 4: at it like people ask, do you root to punty?

836
00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:49,839
Speaker 4: You excited to like I'm like, of course, I want

837
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:54,240
Speaker 4: to score on every drive. Like you know, I would

838
00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:58,200
Speaker 4: say that, I just stay ready and whenever my name

839
00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:00,800
Speaker 4: is called or then you know, the team is called,

840
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:04,760
Speaker 4: I'm excited to go do that job that rep because

841
00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:07,239
Speaker 4: coach has decided that's the best play for us to

842
00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:10,279
Speaker 4: have the best chance to win. Right, So I'm I'm

843
00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:14,400
Speaker 4: excited for the op when it comes, but like I'm

844
00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:16,359
Speaker 4: pumping my fist when we get a big third down

845
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:17,560
Speaker 4: conversion and it's first down.

846
00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:18,240
Speaker 5: Now we're going.

847
00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:22,400
Speaker 4: So but I'm not like, you know, okay, take it.

848
00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:24,920
Speaker 4: I can let my breath out now and breathe like

849
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:28,279
Speaker 4: I'm I'm not disappointed either way. I'm excited when we

850
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:31,719
Speaker 4: keep it keep it moving. But you know, when I

851
00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:34,560
Speaker 4: get my name called to go do my job, I'm

852
00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:37,680
Speaker 4: it's like it's the best play we have to win

853
00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:39,960
Speaker 4: the game, or at least in the eyes of coach,

854
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:42,200
Speaker 4: And so I'm excited to go execute whatever they asked

855
00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:42,800
Speaker 4: me to execute.

856
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:46,240
Speaker 1: So, so, why have you excelled as a directional kicker

857
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:48,520
Speaker 1: throughout your career? Because you talked before, I'm not the

858
00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:51,319
Speaker 1: best to hang time. Maybe I'm not the best directional guy,

859
00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:55,319
Speaker 1: but bottom line is you are one of the more

860
00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:58,800
Speaker 1: proficient punters over the course of your career.

861
00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:03,319
Speaker 4: Yeah, so I don't want to like, I don't know,

862
00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:07,319
Speaker 4: sometimes I get you know. The best way I can

863
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:14,480
Speaker 4: answer that is sometimes it's nice to humble yourself and

864
00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:16,959
Speaker 4: your own speech in your own mind, and it's not because

865
00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:22,680
Speaker 4: of a lack of confidence. My point in saying that

866
00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:23,960
Speaker 4: is that if you were to put me at the

867
00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:28,360
Speaker 4: NFL combine I'm not going to have the highest punt

868
00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:31,160
Speaker 4: that is possibly hitting. That's the guys that come out

869
00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:34,640
Speaker 4: every year. They're so talented. They can absolutely hammer a

870
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:38,360
Speaker 4: football super high and super far. If I kick the

871
00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:41,160
Speaker 4: ball over fifty six fifty seven yards, I've probably kicked

872
00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:43,200
Speaker 4: my coverage. Like, I'm not trying to ever do that,

873
00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:45,640
Speaker 4: Whereas I know some guys they're trying to hammer it

874
00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:47,560
Speaker 4: as far as they can every time, and that's what

875
00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:51,520
Speaker 4: they do, right, So I'm not knocking myself. I do

876
00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:55,279
Speaker 4: think in a way it's a compliment to myself that

877
00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:59,960
Speaker 4: if I'm up here in averages and I'm never kicked

878
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:01,920
Speaker 4: it as far as the best guys, that tells you

879
00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:06,280
Speaker 4: that my efficiency is is elite. And I do feel

880
00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:09,840
Speaker 4: like if they had a metric for ball striking in

881
00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:14,239
Speaker 4: this league and just hitting type of ball you want

882
00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:17,200
Speaker 4: to hit consistently where you want it to go, I

883
00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:18,479
Speaker 4: think I'd be the number one guy.

884
00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:19,160
Speaker 5: And so.

885
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:23,920
Speaker 4: You know, I'm not trying to knock myself when I

886
00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:26,600
Speaker 4: say those things, but I do know that if you

887
00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:29,440
Speaker 4: hit spirals that go to the location you want them

888
00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:33,080
Speaker 4: to go, you really should not ever have a not

889
00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:35,360
Speaker 4: have a job. You know what, I mean, so if

890
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:37,759
Speaker 4: you if you can tell your gunners and your punt

891
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:39,279
Speaker 4: team that hey, this ball is going to be in

892
00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:42,120
Speaker 4: this range in this part of the field, and everybody

893
00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:44,759
Speaker 4: knows that and they can all synergize with that, you

894
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:46,120
Speaker 4: should be able to control games.

895
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:49,000
Speaker 5: And well you're doing it at all this year.

896
00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:51,960
Speaker 1: Well because you got forty seven points of fifty plus yards.

897
00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:53,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, well we've punted a lot, you know.

898
00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:58,360
Speaker 4: So but you know, I you know, it's it's you know,

899
00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:01,800
Speaker 4: it's like I said, I'm it's it's not exciting to

900
00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:06,160
Speaker 4: you know, pub your your punter whenever the offense is struggling.

901
00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:08,360
Speaker 4: But it is cool to be on a team where,

902
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:11,440
Speaker 4: you know, field position has all the games we've won

903
00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:14,839
Speaker 4: have been the defense has played really really well, and

904
00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:18,000
Speaker 4: the special team has played really well and so and

905
00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:20,760
Speaker 4: offense has contributed. But it's been very much a complement

906
00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:25,440
Speaker 4: of football, no turnovers, play the field position game, and

907
00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:27,560
Speaker 4: it's been exciting to be a part of those wins

908
00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:29,239
Speaker 4: and some even some of the losses that we've have

909
00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:31,799
Speaker 4: been really close in, we've we've kind of had a

910
00:45:31,880 --> 00:45:36,160
Speaker 4: chance because of those field position games, and so you know,

911
00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:38,040
Speaker 4: that's that's what that's what I get paid to do.

912
00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:39,360
Speaker 5: So it's exciting to be a part of that.

913
00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:44,680
Speaker 1: What's it like working with Greg Zerline because for my money, again,

914
00:45:45,320 --> 00:45:49,480
Speaker 1: you talk about you having a fantastic year, this is

915
00:45:49,640 --> 00:45:53,440
Speaker 1: probably the best kicking year in the history of this franchise.

916
00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:56,640
Speaker 1: I mean, you put you two guys up against anybody

917
00:45:56,640 --> 00:45:59,040
Speaker 1: in the league right now as far as the combinations concerned.

918
00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:01,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, Look, it's all about what have you done for

919
00:46:01,719 --> 00:46:03,920
Speaker 4: me lately? And it's all about your next performance. So

920
00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:06,920
Speaker 4: having said that, I think we've I think we've been

921
00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:08,960
Speaker 4: at the top of the I think all three specialists

922
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:11,200
Speaker 4: have performed at a super high level. We have none

923
00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:14,279
Speaker 4: of us have been perfect, but we've all done I

924
00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:16,520
Speaker 4: think we've all played at a very high level. You know,

925
00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:20,280
Speaker 4: I think Greg's missed one extra point and a fifty

926
00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:23,520
Speaker 4: something yardfield goal this year, and so he's like ninety

927
00:46:23,560 --> 00:46:24,200
Speaker 4: six percent.

928
00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:27,479
Speaker 1: And you guys aren't playing a dome at home games.

929
00:46:27,560 --> 00:46:30,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I'll say that's another sense of sort of surprise.

930
00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:31,000
Speaker 4: You know.

931
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:32,359
Speaker 5: I don't want to call it pride, but just.

932
00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:35,120
Speaker 1: Well, people were wondering at twenty one, right, does he.

933
00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:37,680
Speaker 4: Have Yeah, Well, I've always been you know, personally I've

934
00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:39,640
Speaker 4: been accused of being a dome punter, and so being

935
00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:43,040
Speaker 4: able to have success outside in some tougher conditions has

936
00:46:43,080 --> 00:46:46,200
Speaker 4: been you know, it feels good to be like, no,

937
00:46:47,200 --> 00:46:49,200
Speaker 4: you know, I've just been a good punter that happened

938
00:46:49,239 --> 00:46:51,800
Speaker 4: to play in a dome. So, you know, it definitely

939
00:46:51,840 --> 00:46:57,120
Speaker 4: offers challenges different inside as supposed to outside. But there's

940
00:46:57,160 --> 00:46:58,960
Speaker 4: a lot more excitement to the play because there's a

941
00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:03,960
Speaker 4: little more variability and rain, snow, things like that, and

942
00:47:04,040 --> 00:47:05,920
Speaker 4: so it's just a different just you just play the

943
00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:09,360
Speaker 4: game a little differently. But yeah, I think all the

944
00:47:09,360 --> 00:47:13,719
Speaker 4: specialists have been you know, have been pretty solid this year,

945
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:18,360
Speaker 4: and it's been fun just to work together. Our group

946
00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:20,759
Speaker 4: is just we have a lot of experience. I think

947
00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:24,239
Speaker 4: Henny's in his seventh year, and I think this is

948
00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:26,920
Speaker 4: year twelve for Greg and this is fifteen for me.

949
00:47:27,040 --> 00:47:29,479
Speaker 4: So we just kind of all been around the block

950
00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:32,719
Speaker 4: a little bit and we all enjoy working together and

951
00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:34,640
Speaker 4: so it's just been a nice energy just all come

952
00:47:34,680 --> 00:47:35,280
Speaker 4: to work together.

953
00:47:35,480 --> 00:47:38,000
Speaker 1: What would it mean to you to get a Pro

954
00:47:38,120 --> 00:47:39,520
Speaker 1: Bowl nod here at thirty seven.

955
00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:42,160
Speaker 5: It'd be pretty cool. It'd be pretty cool.

956
00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:44,400
Speaker 4: I've been the first alternate like six or seven times

957
00:47:44,440 --> 00:47:49,640
Speaker 4: in my career, and you know, it's been a hard

958
00:47:49,680 --> 00:47:51,359
Speaker 4: pill to swallow a number of times when I thought

959
00:47:51,360 --> 00:47:55,840
Speaker 4: I should have gone and it'd be cool. So you

960
00:47:55,920 --> 00:47:58,600
Speaker 4: don't make it a goal every year, or I don't

961
00:47:58,600 --> 00:48:00,480
Speaker 4: because I don't control it right now.

962
00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:05,440
Speaker 5: I don't control how people vote or how coaches voter,

963
00:48:05,560 --> 00:48:06,400
Speaker 5: players vote.

964
00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:09,720
Speaker 4: But at the end of the day, if you're providing

965
00:48:09,800 --> 00:48:12,080
Speaker 4: value for your team and the team is glad that

966
00:48:12,120 --> 00:48:14,760
Speaker 4: you're their guy, it's a it's a good feeling.

967
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:17,319
Speaker 5: And certainly felt that this season.

968
00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:18,680
Speaker 1: Well the fans still have a little bit of time

969
00:48:18,760 --> 00:48:19,800
Speaker 1: they can get out and vote.

970
00:48:19,960 --> 00:48:20,320
Speaker 5: Yeah.

971
00:48:20,480 --> 00:48:25,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, Look, it's like I said, it's appreciated no matter

972
00:48:25,080 --> 00:48:30,520
Speaker 4: what happens. It's it's irrelevant to how this season has

973
00:48:30,560 --> 00:48:34,759
Speaker 4: been for me individually. You know, I've feeled the love

974
00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:39,240
Speaker 4: from all the fans game day at the stadium, and

975
00:48:39,239 --> 00:48:41,800
Speaker 4: it's just it's fun to It's it's nice to feel valued.

976
00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:43,600
Speaker 4: You know, I don't care what your job is, it's

977
00:48:43,640 --> 00:48:45,520
Speaker 4: nice to feel valued. So I definitely felt that.

978
00:48:45,560 --> 00:48:50,000
Speaker 1: You're definitely are valued by Jet Nation and your teammates.

979
00:48:50,160 --> 00:48:52,280
Speaker 1: Let me ask you about this, two thousand and nine,

980
00:48:52,680 --> 00:48:56,480
Speaker 1: you come in to the league, got SMU first year,

981
00:48:56,640 --> 00:49:02,080
Speaker 1: you're playing in the Super Bowl. Yeah, halftime, Peyton says,

982
00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:07,360
Speaker 1: doing an onside kick. What's the thought process there for

983
00:49:07,480 --> 00:49:10,480
Speaker 1: him or me? For you? Once you hear that that's

984
00:49:10,520 --> 00:49:11,279
Speaker 1: the call.

985
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:14,120
Speaker 4: I panicked, I mean I was ri I was terrified. Yeah,

986
00:49:14,200 --> 00:49:15,680
Speaker 4: I mean, I'd never he said we were going to

987
00:49:15,760 --> 00:49:18,360
Speaker 4: run lead, right, So that's not that they're losing.

988
00:49:18,840 --> 00:49:19,920
Speaker 5: We're losing ten six.

989
00:49:20,080 --> 00:49:25,200
Speaker 4: And and honestly, we've you know, to be only down

990
00:49:25,239 --> 00:49:29,560
Speaker 4: ten six, I mean they kind of we were, I think,

991
00:49:29,920 --> 00:49:31,960
Speaker 4: feeling pretty good about where we were at at halftime

992
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:35,160
Speaker 4: to only be down for and coach had said we

993
00:49:35,160 --> 00:49:37,560
Speaker 4: were going to run it, not if just what. It

994
00:49:37,640 --> 00:49:39,400
Speaker 4: was just gonna be a question of when. But I

995
00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:43,279
Speaker 4: didn't believe we would actually do it. And and Peyton,

996
00:49:43,320 --> 00:49:44,359
Speaker 4: Manny's on the other side.

997
00:49:44,400 --> 00:49:46,799
Speaker 1: So if you don't get that ball, it's ten six,

998
00:49:46,840 --> 00:49:48,360
Speaker 1: they get the lead and he's got a short field.

999
00:49:49,040 --> 00:49:52,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I think part of it was just possession, right,

1000
00:49:52,080 --> 00:49:54,560
Speaker 4: it was less of I mean, one of the drives

1001
00:49:54,560 --> 00:49:56,680
Speaker 4: they had in the first their touchdown drive they had

1002
00:49:56,719 --> 00:49:59,200
Speaker 4: in the first half, I had punted it ball down

1003
00:49:59,239 --> 00:50:01,359
Speaker 4: to the four yard line and they went ninety six

1004
00:50:01,440 --> 00:50:04,960
Speaker 4: yard and scored a touchdowns. So I think coach felt

1005
00:50:04,960 --> 00:50:08,560
Speaker 4: more like, hey, it was worth the risk on the

1006
00:50:08,600 --> 00:50:13,400
Speaker 4: short field to just have a chance to get another possession.

1007
00:50:13,680 --> 00:50:15,120
Speaker 5: That was going to be the difference.

1008
00:50:15,120 --> 00:50:17,960
Speaker 4: And so and at the time with the rules on

1009
00:50:18,040 --> 00:50:19,960
Speaker 4: you know, kickoff rules are different now, but at the

1010
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:22,600
Speaker 4: time you could have guys get a full on running

1011
00:50:22,600 --> 00:50:27,600
Speaker 4: start and so the odds of recovering a true surprise

1012
00:50:27,680 --> 00:50:28,560
Speaker 4: on side kick.

1013
00:50:28,760 --> 00:50:30,440
Speaker 5: Were close to two thirds.

1014
00:50:30,840 --> 00:50:35,960
Speaker 4: So people say it was super aggressive and a major gamble,

1015
00:50:36,040 --> 00:50:38,920
Speaker 4: but it was like, you know, if you're at the

1016
00:50:38,920 --> 00:50:41,920
Speaker 4: blackjack table and the dealer flops a six over, you know,

1017
00:50:41,920 --> 00:50:44,160
Speaker 4: if you've got a chance to double down, you double down.

1018
00:50:44,239 --> 00:50:47,880
Speaker 4: It doesn't matter what you got right, you've you do

1019
00:50:47,960 --> 00:50:49,640
Speaker 4: it because deal was gonna bust.

1020
00:50:49,680 --> 00:50:50,120
Speaker 5: And it was.

1021
00:50:50,560 --> 00:50:52,160
Speaker 4: It was kind of like that. Even though it was

1022
00:50:52,200 --> 00:50:55,719
Speaker 4: super aggressive and felt like a gamble, two out of

1023
00:50:55,719 --> 00:50:57,840
Speaker 4: three times you do that, at the time, the odds

1024
00:50:57,840 --> 00:50:59,480
Speaker 4: where you're going to get it, So it was not

1025
00:51:00,120 --> 00:51:01,600
Speaker 4: the odds were in our favorite to go do it.

1026
00:51:02,440 --> 00:51:06,120
Speaker 4: And and so he called it and I was freaked out. Yeah,

1027
00:51:06,200 --> 00:51:08,920
Speaker 4: I mean I just didn't believe we'd do it. I

1028
00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:10,960
Speaker 4: really didn't believe we do it. We'd said we'd run

1029
00:51:11,040 --> 00:51:12,879
Speaker 4: different fakes throughout the season. We never did, but it's

1030
00:51:12,880 --> 00:51:17,640
Speaker 4: probably because we were winning all the time. And so yeah,

1031
00:51:17,640 --> 00:51:21,400
Speaker 4: we just thank god the halftime's like thirty something minutes

1032
00:51:21,440 --> 00:51:23,240
Speaker 4: long because of the half, you know, the whole halftime

1033
00:51:23,320 --> 00:51:25,200
Speaker 4: show and the glitz and glamor of the Super Bowl.

1034
00:51:25,760 --> 00:51:29,920
Speaker 4: So I had time to kind of process it and

1035
00:51:29,960 --> 00:51:33,240
Speaker 4: almost have like a I don't know, a therapy session

1036
00:51:33,280 --> 00:51:36,319
Speaker 4: with myself, you know, in the locker, and I'm you know,

1037
00:51:36,480 --> 00:51:38,799
Speaker 4: at the time, I used to never take my helmet off.

1038
00:51:39,160 --> 00:51:41,200
Speaker 4: It was a long story, but basically I got I

1039
00:51:41,239 --> 00:51:43,400
Speaker 4: was unprepared for a play in my last player my

1040
00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:46,279
Speaker 4: senior year of college. Couldn't find my helmet and I

1041
00:51:46,280 --> 00:51:48,080
Speaker 4: didn't think we'd punt, and they sent the punt team

1042
00:51:48,120 --> 00:51:50,319
Speaker 4: out and I was frantic, and I shanked the punt

1043
00:51:50,400 --> 00:51:53,279
Speaker 4: last That's why my college career ended. And so I

1044
00:51:53,320 --> 00:51:55,359
Speaker 4: always kept my helmet on and I looked like such

1045
00:51:55,360 --> 00:51:57,319
Speaker 4: as spas. I was just sitting like this nervous little

1046
00:51:57,400 --> 00:51:59,879
Speaker 4: rookie with this helmet on all halftime, just thinking about

1047
00:51:59,880 --> 00:52:03,160
Speaker 4: what I had to do. And I was pretty negative

1048
00:52:03,160 --> 00:52:05,239
Speaker 4: in my mindset about it, and I was thinking, man,

1049
00:52:05,280 --> 00:52:08,000
Speaker 4: if I screw this up, letting down the team, letting

1050
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:12,040
Speaker 4: down our whole city of New Orleans, there's one hundred

1051
00:52:12,080 --> 00:52:13,680
Speaker 4: million people watching this, and.

1052
00:52:13,960 --> 00:52:15,360
Speaker 5: Blah blah blah blah blah.

1053
00:52:15,560 --> 00:52:16,120
Speaker 2: And so I was.

1054
00:52:16,080 --> 00:52:19,880
Speaker 4: Pacing around and then I kept this picture of my

1055
00:52:19,960 --> 00:52:23,280
Speaker 4: coach at my locker that was from college who passed

1056
00:52:23,280 --> 00:52:25,479
Speaker 4: away the day after got drafted, named Frank Gann Senior.

1057
00:52:25,480 --> 00:52:28,400
Speaker 4: He's an all time great especiallyams coordinator in the NFL.

1058
00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:31,160
Speaker 4: And I just looked up at his picture and he

1059
00:52:31,280 --> 00:52:34,799
Speaker 4: used to have this acronym ac DC, which was the

1060
00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:42,399
Speaker 4: more aggressive, more confident, more disciplined, and better communicators. Those

1061
00:52:42,400 --> 00:52:44,759
Speaker 4: teams won, and I thought, well, this is pretty aff

1062
00:52:44,760 --> 00:52:47,719
Speaker 4: an aggressive, and I kind of relaxed, and then I thought,

1063
00:52:47,760 --> 00:52:49,360
Speaker 4: you know, every time coach called us to hit this

1064
00:52:49,440 --> 00:52:51,799
Speaker 4: in practice, I hit it how, you know, exactly how

1065
00:52:51,800 --> 00:52:54,919
Speaker 4: I needed to. And then I was like, man, if

1066
00:52:54,920 --> 00:52:57,160
Speaker 4: we get this, we're gonna win this game. And then

1067
00:52:57,239 --> 00:52:59,240
Speaker 4: by the time I went out for halftime, I was confident.

1068
00:52:59,280 --> 00:53:00,120
Speaker 5: I was still.

1069
00:53:01,400 --> 00:53:05,640
Speaker 4: My nerves were it's hard to explain, they were still

1070
00:53:05,640 --> 00:53:08,800
Speaker 4: through the roof. And and the worst part is you

1071
00:53:08,840 --> 00:53:11,479
Speaker 4: can't go out and practice it. So I'm out here

1072
00:53:11,719 --> 00:53:14,640
Speaker 4: just hitting kickoffs as far as I can. At the back,

1073
00:53:15,280 --> 00:53:18,600
Speaker 4: Pat mcfee's there, punter. We had drafted as rookies together,

1074
00:53:19,239 --> 00:53:22,600
Speaker 4: and I'm talking to Pat saying, you know, I'm like, hey,

1075
00:53:22,600 --> 00:53:24,600
Speaker 4: tell you returner or not to bother even going out there.

1076
00:53:24,600 --> 00:53:25,720
Speaker 5: This is going to be in the stands.

1077
00:53:25,760 --> 00:53:25,880
Speaker 2: You know.

1078
00:53:25,920 --> 00:53:27,759
Speaker 4: I'm trying to sell the kool aid to anybody I can,

1079
00:53:27,960 --> 00:53:30,560
Speaker 4: just to talk myself into it. And I went over

1080
00:53:30,600 --> 00:53:34,680
Speaker 4: the sideline and got in the huddle and John Carney,

1081
00:53:34,680 --> 00:53:36,720
Speaker 4: an old kicker who had kicked for us that season,

1082
00:53:36,840 --> 00:53:40,480
Speaker 4: was coaching us through the playoffs, and he used to

1083
00:53:40,480 --> 00:53:42,600
Speaker 4: always tell me ten percent when I would go out

1084
00:53:42,600 --> 00:53:46,360
Speaker 4: to kick this ball. And he grabbed me last person

1085
00:53:46,360 --> 00:53:48,880
Speaker 4: that said something to me, and I turned around to

1086
00:53:48,920 --> 00:53:52,719
Speaker 4: him and he said, TIMO one percent, like he knew

1087
00:53:52,760 --> 00:53:56,200
Speaker 4: I was just. I was just I was charged up. Yeah,

1088
00:53:56,360 --> 00:53:58,640
Speaker 4: he said, timo one percent. And I just went out

1089
00:53:58,640 --> 00:54:01,480
Speaker 4: there and honestly, I just said a little prayer and

1090
00:54:01,520 --> 00:54:04,640
Speaker 4: I said, Frank, I hope you're watching, and and we

1091
00:54:04,680 --> 00:54:07,360
Speaker 4: went out. I kind of blacked out, Oh you hit it.

1092
00:54:07,719 --> 00:54:10,000
Speaker 4: We got it, went down and scored and I ended

1093
00:54:10,040 --> 00:54:11,120
Speaker 4: up winning it was pretty cool.

1094
00:54:12,160 --> 00:54:12,800
Speaker 2: So cool.

1095
00:54:13,080 --> 00:54:17,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it's carried Saints win the Super Bowl along

1096
00:54:17,120 --> 00:54:18,839
Speaker 4: with winning the Super Bowl and being part of the

1097
00:54:18,880 --> 00:54:23,200
Speaker 4: history of that and and you know, that's awesome, and

1098
00:54:23,239 --> 00:54:26,040
Speaker 4: that's that's a forever thing. You know, We've already had

1099
00:54:26,040 --> 00:54:28,080
Speaker 4: a ten year reunion, There'll be a twenty year reunion,

1100
00:54:28,080 --> 00:54:31,320
Speaker 4: they'll be a thirty year reunion. It's a lifelong, cool

1101
00:54:31,360 --> 00:54:36,160
Speaker 4: brotherhood that you're part of. But for my career, it's

1102
00:54:36,239 --> 00:54:40,440
Speaker 4: really been super beneficial because, you know, specially being a specialist,

1103
00:54:40,520 --> 00:54:43,400
Speaker 4: so much a mental game, right, and the days you

1104
00:54:43,400 --> 00:54:45,440
Speaker 4: don't feel as good as you want to feel, you're

1105
00:54:45,440 --> 00:54:47,640
Speaker 4: not as confident as you want to feel, to be

1106
00:54:47,640 --> 00:54:49,839
Speaker 4: able to take yourself back to big moments like that

1107
00:54:49,920 --> 00:54:52,120
Speaker 4: when the pressure was on and you had to have it,

1108
00:54:52,280 --> 00:54:54,440
Speaker 4: and to remind yourself that you've got the goods to

1109
00:54:54,480 --> 00:54:57,840
Speaker 4: get it done and not be lying to yourself.

1110
00:54:57,880 --> 00:54:59,040
Speaker 5: It's you actually believe that.

1111
00:54:59,200 --> 00:55:00,920
Speaker 4: It's to be able to go back and think about

1112
00:55:00,920 --> 00:55:03,320
Speaker 4: that play and numerous other plays have had my career,

1113
00:55:04,520 --> 00:55:08,200
Speaker 4: whereas like the games on the line here and to

1114
00:55:08,239 --> 00:55:09,719
Speaker 4: be able to think back to that and be like, yeah,

1115
00:55:09,840 --> 00:55:11,239
Speaker 4: I've got it, you know what I mean?

1116
00:55:11,360 --> 00:55:12,880
Speaker 5: I'm going to be able to control myself.

1117
00:55:12,920 --> 00:55:14,400
Speaker 4: I'm going to be able to get it done and

1118
00:55:14,480 --> 00:55:17,200
Speaker 4: to really believe that has carried me a lot through

1119
00:55:17,239 --> 00:55:20,760
Speaker 4: a lot of tougher times or tough days at the office.

1120
00:55:20,960 --> 00:55:24,319
Speaker 1: You know, what's the thought process? People were following you

1121
00:55:24,360 --> 00:55:27,319
Speaker 1: on social media as far as before you board that

1122
00:55:27,360 --> 00:55:32,960
Speaker 1: plane on the road, you get that selfie there's TEAMO

1123
00:55:33,640 --> 00:55:35,560
Speaker 1: in front of the plane. How long you been doing that?

1124
00:55:36,000 --> 00:55:38,200
Speaker 4: I think since my rookie year. So I just kind

1125
00:55:38,200 --> 00:55:41,680
Speaker 4: of I don't know why I started doing it.

1126
00:55:41,800 --> 00:55:44,440
Speaker 1: I just did you do a week way first game year?

1127
00:55:45,160 --> 00:55:47,920
Speaker 4: I can't, honestly, I can't remember, but I can't remember

1128
00:55:47,960 --> 00:55:50,360
Speaker 4: not doing it, so I don't At some point it

1129
00:55:50,400 --> 00:55:54,920
Speaker 4: became a thing, and so yeah, I've just always done it,

1130
00:55:55,320 --> 00:55:59,560
Speaker 4: and I think, you know, fans of mine over time

1131
00:56:00,080 --> 00:56:02,760
Speaker 4: get used to seeing it's it's almost so dull.

1132
00:56:02,560 --> 00:56:03,200
Speaker 5: And so boring.

1133
00:56:03,239 --> 00:56:05,640
Speaker 4: I'm just you know, I'm just wearing and now I

1134
00:56:05,760 --> 00:56:07,759
Speaker 4: just looked like a freaking dad out there, just you know,

1135
00:56:08,400 --> 00:56:13,320
Speaker 4: rocking up in a polo flannel whatever shirt and khakis,

1136
00:56:13,360 --> 00:56:16,160
Speaker 4: and I don't know, I think a lot of people

1137
00:56:16,239 --> 00:56:19,200
Speaker 4: just they kind of look forward to it and see

1138
00:56:20,920 --> 00:56:23,760
Speaker 4: you know, kind of a regular looking dude that's getting

1139
00:56:23,760 --> 00:56:26,280
Speaker 4: to do a cool thing, and I don't know people

1140
00:56:26,280 --> 00:56:26,840
Speaker 4: appreciate it.

1141
00:56:26,880 --> 00:56:31,960
Speaker 1: I guess the run to the sidelines quite afflict as well, right.

1142
00:56:31,840 --> 00:56:37,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, I kind of have a little disdain from the

1143
00:56:37,680 --> 00:56:40,480
Speaker 6: fact that that I got put on Hard Knocks because

1144
00:56:40,520 --> 00:56:43,239
Speaker 6: I'd never really gotten any attention from it other than

1145
00:56:43,280 --> 00:56:46,600
Speaker 6: a few teammates, and you know, I not that I

1146
00:56:46,640 --> 00:56:48,080
Speaker 6: have a problem with it, but it was, you know,

1147
00:56:48,840 --> 00:56:50,960
Speaker 6: I think some people thought I was looking for attention

1148
00:56:51,040 --> 00:56:52,279
Speaker 6: and I've just always done that.

1149
00:56:52,520 --> 00:56:54,719
Speaker 4: You know, for a long time. I didn't pump much

1150
00:56:54,760 --> 00:56:56,279
Speaker 4: throughout the season, so it's kind of a way to

1151
00:56:56,360 --> 00:57:01,759
Speaker 4: kind of keep myself loose. So I haven't done as

1152
00:57:01,840 --> 00:57:03,759
Speaker 4: much sprinting this year because I've kind of been a

1153
00:57:03,760 --> 00:57:07,160
Speaker 4: little looser throughout the game. But yeah, it's kind of

1154
00:57:07,200 --> 00:57:09,160
Speaker 4: just part of you know. I think I said it

1155
00:57:09,160 --> 00:57:11,920
Speaker 4: best to Randall in the Hard Knock Steel. I said,

1156
00:57:11,960 --> 00:57:14,279
Speaker 4: I don't know how to I don't know what to

1157
00:57:14,320 --> 00:57:15,600
Speaker 4: tell you. I just know what I.

1158
00:57:15,520 --> 00:57:17,360
Speaker 5: Need and he was like, hey, you do you brother?

1159
00:57:17,440 --> 00:57:20,000
Speaker 5: You know it's working. So so yeah.

1160
00:57:19,960 --> 00:57:22,640
Speaker 1: So that's that I got to ask you about Rogers here.

1161
00:57:24,480 --> 00:57:27,400
Speaker 1: He indicated early this week that he's not going to

1162
00:57:27,480 --> 00:57:31,200
Speaker 1: play in twenty twenty three. Robert Sala of course said

1163
00:57:31,240 --> 00:57:32,960
Speaker 1: today that he's going to be activated, but he's not

1164
00:57:32,960 --> 00:57:36,919
Speaker 1: going to play. With that being said, you're thirty seven,

1165
00:57:37,000 --> 00:57:39,400
Speaker 1: have a career year. He's going to be forty coming

1166
00:57:39,440 --> 00:57:43,640
Speaker 1: off in Achilles. What do you think is next for

1167
00:57:43,800 --> 00:57:47,360
Speaker 1: Aaron in terms of his career? Obviously going to be

1168
00:57:47,360 --> 00:57:50,160
Speaker 1: with the Jets, and he's professed his love for this

1169
00:57:50,240 --> 00:57:53,120
Speaker 1: place and his teammates and the organization and things like that.

1170
00:57:53,600 --> 00:57:57,120
Speaker 1: How excited are you from your perspective a guy who's

1171
00:57:57,160 --> 00:58:00,440
Speaker 1: been in a room with him to see his next chapter.

1172
00:58:02,440 --> 00:58:04,040
Speaker 4: Look, I mean, that's one of the reasons I came

1173
00:58:04,320 --> 00:58:07,919
Speaker 4: was to be a part of that, be a part

1174
00:58:07,920 --> 00:58:12,080
Speaker 4: of winning, and obviously not just Aaron, but we've had

1175
00:58:12,120 --> 00:58:15,760
Speaker 4: like a gauntlet of injuries, especially on the offensive side

1176
00:58:15,760 --> 00:58:18,920
Speaker 4: of the ball this year, and you know, nothing's guaranteed

1177
00:58:18,960 --> 00:58:23,520
Speaker 4: in life, and you know it's uh so, I don't

1178
00:58:23,560 --> 00:58:28,000
Speaker 4: know what's you know, if anybody knew, you know that

1179
00:58:28,440 --> 00:58:34,520
Speaker 4: there you know, So you know, I'm excited for him.

1180
00:58:34,560 --> 00:58:37,320
Speaker 4: There's nothing better than a good comeback story. You know,

1181
00:58:37,400 --> 00:58:40,960
Speaker 4: there's nothing better than doing something that people tell you

1182
00:58:40,960 --> 00:58:41,480
Speaker 4: you can't do.

1183
00:58:42,080 --> 00:58:42,400
Speaker 2: And so.

1184
00:58:45,040 --> 00:58:49,680
Speaker 4: You know, obviously he's he's got such a microscope on

1185
00:58:49,760 --> 00:58:53,520
Speaker 4: him and everything he's doing. And but you know, I've

1186
00:58:53,600 --> 00:58:55,480
Speaker 4: enjoyed getting to know him this season.

1187
00:58:55,760 --> 00:58:58,280
Speaker 5: And I'll be.

1188
00:58:58,240 --> 00:59:01,200
Speaker 4: Honest with you, I wasn't a huge Aaron right before

1189
00:59:01,200 --> 00:59:02,920
Speaker 4: getting here, just from what I've seen in the media

1190
00:59:03,680 --> 00:59:07,680
Speaker 4: and and uh, just falling along over his career, kind

1191
00:59:07,680 --> 00:59:12,360
Speaker 4: of an abrasive guy, and and you know, and I've

1192
00:59:12,400 --> 00:59:15,440
Speaker 4: really enjoyed getting to be teammates with him and getting

1193
00:59:15,480 --> 00:59:21,280
Speaker 4: to know him, and uh, seeing how he ticks, you know,

1194
00:59:22,360 --> 00:59:25,680
Speaker 4: it felt like a guy who loves the attention, and

1195
00:59:25,680 --> 00:59:29,440
Speaker 4: and just now getting to know him this year, I'd say,

1196
00:59:29,480 --> 00:59:33,200
Speaker 4: he really doesn't care what anybody else thinks outside of

1197
00:59:33,640 --> 00:59:36,760
Speaker 4: the people that he cares about, you know, his teammates

1198
00:59:36,880 --> 00:59:39,720
Speaker 4: or his family or people that he's close with. He's

1199
00:59:39,760 --> 00:59:42,200
Speaker 4: he just doesn't care and he's going to do what

1200
00:59:42,240 --> 00:59:46,000
Speaker 4: he thinks is the right thing. And and I respect that.

1201
00:59:46,240 --> 00:59:48,400
Speaker 4: So I really enjoyed getting to be teammates with him.

1202
00:59:49,000 --> 00:59:52,000
Speaker 4: And you know, no matter how things go in the future,

1203
00:59:52,040 --> 00:59:53,439
Speaker 4: I'll be pulling for him.

1204
00:59:53,480 --> 00:59:57,440
Speaker 1: Nothing better than a great comeback story. You're authoring your

1205
00:59:57,480 --> 00:59:58,520
Speaker 1: own comeback story.

1206
00:59:58,640 --> 01:00:01,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, we all we all have our on our own

1207
01:00:01,280 --> 01:00:04,080
Speaker 4: books to write, you know, and uh, it's cool when

1208
01:00:04,120 --> 01:00:07,240
Speaker 4: you get to cross paths with with special people and

1209
01:00:08,480 --> 01:00:11,000
Speaker 4: so yeah, it's I'll be I'll be pulling for him

1210
01:00:11,040 --> 01:00:11,440
Speaker 4: for sure.

1211
01:00:12,800 --> 01:00:15,560

Speaker 4: you know, all the excitement is like legitimate, and we're

1234
01:01:20,440 --> 01:01:23,280
Speaker 4: in a really cool place with that. With the kids,

1235
01:01:23,680 --> 01:01:27,760
Speaker 4: they're all young enough and that you know they'll be

1236
01:01:27,880 --> 01:01:30,600
Speaker 4: up before any of us. So it's an exciting time

1237
01:01:31,360 --> 01:01:33,320
Speaker 4: and I certainly don't take it for granted.

1238
01:01:34,880 --> 01:01:36,480
Speaker 5: We're looking forward to it. I'm glad we're all together

1239
01:01:36,520 --> 01:01:36,840
Speaker 5: this year.

1240
01:01:37,080 --> 01:01:42,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, very cool. Congratulations and an outstanding season. You got

1241
01:01:42,280 --> 01:01:47,480
Speaker 1: three games remaining and you've enjoyed your experience here in

1242
01:01:47,560 --> 01:01:50,080
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. Then you come back in twenty three

1243
01:01:50,160 --> 01:01:54,200
Speaker 1: and obviously the life of the kicker or plunter the

1244
01:01:54,320 --> 01:01:58,880
Speaker 1: National Football League is always a little bit people on

1245
01:01:59,000 --> 01:02:02,800
Speaker 1: the move, right. It's you had that long stay in

1246
01:02:02,800 --> 01:02:06,959
Speaker 1: New Orleans, but would you like to be back?

1247
01:02:07,280 --> 01:02:08,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, sure I would.

1248
01:02:08,480 --> 01:02:10,440
Speaker 4: I mean, like I said, we made a commitment to

1249
01:02:10,480 --> 01:02:13,040
Speaker 4: come up here and really see what it was like

1250
01:02:13,160 --> 01:02:15,280
Speaker 4: and do it as a family, and we had a

1251
01:02:15,280 --> 01:02:16,760
Speaker 4: great setup in New Orleans and we still have our

1252
01:02:16,760 --> 01:02:19,320
Speaker 4: house down there. But well, you know, we brought everybody

1253
01:02:19,360 --> 01:02:23,200
Speaker 4: up here and so you know, we'll see what happens.

1254
01:02:23,200 --> 01:02:27,320
Speaker 4: I mean, it's I've really since COVID happened, really it's

1255
01:02:27,360 --> 01:02:31,080
Speaker 4: been COVID and then getting released and having to jump

1256
01:02:31,080 --> 01:02:35,880
Speaker 4: around a little bit to get back in. We've gotten

1257
01:02:35,920 --> 01:02:41,000
Speaker 4: to a point where we just enjoyed such stability for

1258
01:02:41,040 --> 01:02:45,520
Speaker 4: so long, and we've grown a lot in the last

1259
01:02:45,520 --> 01:02:48,160
Speaker 4: three years. Our family has and me my wife, and

1260
01:02:48,640 --> 01:02:50,480
Speaker 4: you learn to deal with things as they come, and

1261
01:02:51,000 --> 01:02:53,840
Speaker 4: you stop worrying about or trying to plan too far.

1262
01:02:53,680 --> 01:02:55,360
Speaker 2: Out, you know.

1263
01:02:55,680 --> 01:02:58,840
Speaker 4: And uh, that's been a big learning for me, or

1264
01:03:00,160 --> 01:03:03,360
Speaker 4: it's been a challenge for me because I am kind

1265
01:03:03,400 --> 01:03:05,680
Speaker 4: of you know, I'm a planner. I like to have

1266
01:03:05,800 --> 01:03:09,200
Speaker 4: things laid out, and we just kind of enjoyed life

1267
01:03:09,240 --> 01:03:11,480
Speaker 4: as it's come, the experiences as they come, and we've

1268
01:03:11,520 --> 01:03:14,960
Speaker 4: been present and and I think that's one of the

1269
01:03:15,000 --> 01:03:16,000
Speaker 4: reasons I'm playing so well.

1270
01:03:16,320 --> 01:03:19,080
Speaker 5: You know, I'm just enjoying it. And uh, you know,

1271
01:03:19,880 --> 01:03:22,560
Speaker 5: you know, you get the questions about the future and

1272
01:03:23,440 --> 01:03:23,880
Speaker 5: all I knows.

1273
01:03:23,880 --> 01:03:27,920
Speaker 4: I'm enjoying my time right now, and you know, I'm

1274
01:03:27,920 --> 01:03:32,440
Speaker 4: focused on playing well this week and that's all I

1275
01:03:32,440 --> 01:03:34,440
Speaker 4: can do, and we'll see how things turn out.

1276
01:03:34,560 --> 01:03:37,000
Speaker 1: Yes, staying in the president and that's the kids are

1277
01:03:37,000 --> 01:03:38,400
Speaker 1: going to have a lot of presents.

1278
01:03:38,040 --> 01:03:41,919
Speaker 5: And a few more than more than they probably should,

1279
01:03:42,120 --> 01:03:43,000
Speaker 5: and Thomas.

Speaker 1: right now. A number of Jets deserving, including this man, Timo,
