1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:02,640
Speaker 1: Uh, grant the how much input do you have on

2
00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:05,280
Speaker 1: if you're gonna attempt to fifty plus r field goals?

3
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:08,720
Speaker 1: It predetermined for the game or on the fly? Uh No,

4
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:11,600
Speaker 1: it's it's always kind of predetermined. Apparently depends on how

5
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 1: he feels. I mean, Graham is always you ask a kicker,

6
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 1: can you make it? They're they're gonna always tell you yet. So, um,

7
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:21,640
Speaker 1: you know, it's just floor of the game. You know,

8
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 1: how how it's gonna pan out. You know how we're

9
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 1: moving the ball on offense, you know what's the win? Like,

10
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:31,480
Speaker 1: just all those different things that kind of play into it, um,

11
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 1: and just managing the situation as they occur. So, I mean,

12
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 1: it's there's so many different factors that come into you know,

13
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:40,159
Speaker 1: determine whether we're gonna try kick from fifty five yards

14
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:42,519
Speaker 1: or fifty eight yards or whatever it is and a

15
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 1: half in the game. You know, it's just a bunch

16
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 1: of different scenarios that could come into plays. Were working

17
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 1: out some hunters this week. What's kind of the thought

18
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 1: process there? Uh, you know, you're always trying to kick

19
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 1: the tires and see what's out there. Uh, You're always

20
00:00:55,160 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 1: trying to find young, young talent to uh develop uh

21
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 1: you know, and in in this COVID area, you just

22
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 1: you always gotta cover your cover your butt, you know

23
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 1: what I mean. It's just that's just part of the

24
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,320
Speaker 1: that's the landscape that we're in now, you know, So

25
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 1: you always want to You're always looking for guys to

26
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,319
Speaker 1: to bring along like we did with Ryan Santoso. And

27
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 1: then you also want to have potentially some you know,

28
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 1: if the roster allows you some legs that you know,

29
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 1: we've got an older kicker, you know, we got a

30
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 1: veteran punter. If we can find a guy that kind

31
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 1: of help us in practice, you know, we're always linking

32
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:29,320
Speaker 1: for that too. It's also finding a left footed punter,

33
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 1: because I think you have a couple of those guys

34
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,320
Speaker 1: on your schedule. Yeah. I mean, any time you know

35
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,320
Speaker 1: you can get that, you want it. You know, anytime

36
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:38,319
Speaker 1: if if you can get a guy to come in

37
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 1: and uh and work out for you and have your

38
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 1: guys see it live off the foot, that's something that

39
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 1: you want. It's a good point back with Dexter. The

40
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 1: Barn's what's the coaching point on that play? Or did

41
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 1: he not do anything wrong? No? I mean it's just

42
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: it's like anything else. It's just came back to the ball.

43
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just we talked about all the time

44
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: and it's just you know, it's just one of those deals.

45
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 1: You know, you sometimes you win, sometimes you you know,

46
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 1: you lose, right, and that in this case he had

47
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 1: to learn right. So it's it's it's a hard it's

48
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 1: a hard lesson to learn, but you know, just you

49
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:13,839
Speaker 1: gotta be discipline. That situation you had five or six

50
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 1: times before to you know, see the mechanics or what

51
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 1: went on. So you know, it's it's it's it's tough,

52
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 1: you know, but that's that's part of growing and you

53
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:26,079
Speaker 1: know learning in this league. You know, sometimes to watch

54
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 1: him trying to time it and jump it. We're just

55
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:30,799
Speaker 1: watching the ball. It's like it's no different. He does

56
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 1: it every day every play, you know, on defense, you

57
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: know what I mean, it's like snapping the ball. You

58
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:37,359
Speaker 1: came to back tip of the ball. You know, it's

59
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: just made a mistake and I see, you know, that's

60
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 1: just part of it. Was a lot of debate absolutely

61
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 1: went early where he just timed it better than the

62
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:45,959
Speaker 1: rest of you know. I mean it's you know when

63
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 1: when everybody else doesn't go and you go and and

64
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 1: it might be perfect, it looks different. So you know,

65
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,960
Speaker 1: to the I they're gonna throw the flag because it

66
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,920
Speaker 1: just looks different. You know, injured this week? You know Canberra,

67
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: who's the key guy for you? Even? I mean how

68
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 1: much does that kind of throw your your personnel plans

69
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 1: into a right? You know that? You know, we talk

70
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 1: about this all the time with with these guys. I mean,

71
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 1: it's we're making gumbo, you know what I mean. So

72
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 1: it's just it just depends on who you have and

73
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 1: what kind of gumbo you're making that week, you know.

74
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,799
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just that's that's our job. It's bestumes coaches.

75
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 1: We gotta make the adjustle you know. So whether it

76
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 1: be Cam, whether it be whoever it is, we just

77
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: you know, we juggle those balls. We move the pieces

78
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 1: around and make it fit, make gumbo, and you do substitutions.

79
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 1: The recipe is not always going to taste the same,

80
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: So like what do you how do you prioritize it?

81
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: Sometimes you might want shrimp gumbo, but you ain't got

82
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: shrimp that week, you know what I'm saying. That's just

83
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: the reality of it, right, So sometimes you gotta have

84
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: chicken gumbo and it ain't it ain't got and doing

85
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: sausage in it different, you know what I mean, It's

86
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: just that's what it is. So we just we gotta

87
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 1: make doing what we have. And and you know, in

88
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 1: a situation with Cam just you know, obviously you don't

89
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: want to lose a guy that caliber, but that's the

90
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 1: National Football League. You know you're gonna lose some guys.

91
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 1: You're gonna gain some guys. You know, it's opportunities for

92
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 1: other guys to step up and you know, make play.

93
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: So we'll see what happens with with Patterson as the

94
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,159
Speaker 1: as the returner. I know, the respect that Joe has.

95
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 1: I mean, you guys talked about him to leave last

96
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 1: year and when you guys were in Chicago, does it

97
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,600
Speaker 1: make you rethink the strategy of not wanting to put

98
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 1: the ball through the end zone every time you have

99
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 1: the opportunity because of a guy like that, It makes

100
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 1: you rethink a lot of things. You have a guy

101
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 1: like that, I mean, he's he's different, Like he's arguably

102
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 1: the greatest kickoff return kickoff returner of all times. I mean,

103
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:45,720
Speaker 1: you've got eight career kickoff returns as a whole that's

104
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 1: a whole lot, you know. Uh. And and even in

105
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 1: this situation, you know, when you have a guy like

106
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: ca Darrell Patterson, you have to respect him for who

107
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 1: he is. And uh, you know, we just have to

108
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 1: go out there and and accepted the fact that he's

109
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 1: on the field and we gotta go playing, all right.

110
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 1: So we played him last year and when he was

111
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 1: in Chicago, so you know, it's not foreign intent to

112
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: a lot of our guys. So we just got to

113
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 1: go out there and play football, beat discipline, to play

114
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,280
Speaker 1: with good fund of mills techniques. Does he change it?

115
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 1: Preparation and looking at the punting for them when then

116
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 1: they haven't put out there and isn't elected whatever's name is, Yeah,

117
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 1: it's you know coquitz A left. He has been in

118
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,280
Speaker 1: this league for a long time. Uh, you know we've

119
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 1: played again, we played against some week one last year

120
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 1: when he was in Pittsburgh. So he's not foreign to us.

121
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 1: I've been coaching against him since two thousand five when

122
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 1: he came in the league. So uh, and then the

123
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 1: other kids, a young kid, excuse me, you know he

124
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,479
Speaker 1: struggled a little bit, but that that's what young punters

125
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: do young kickers, young punters, young quarterbacks, they struggle, you

126
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like it's rare when you see

127
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 1: a guy, a rookie coming too the league and he

128
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: just tears it up like that's that just doesn't happen. So, uh,

129
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 1: whoever is in there, our guys will be prepared for it.

130
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 1: You know, we've caught lefty jugs, We've caught you know,

131
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 1: we'll be ready for So whatever whoever is in there

132
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 1: will be ready. I think Uh, I think like three

133
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 1: of the eight longest consecutive field goal streaks in league

134
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 1: history are active right now. One year. Is there something

135
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,160
Speaker 1: that it's leadwide, that's the liby that to happen or

136
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 1: what do you see that that makes that happen? Now?

137
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 1: I think you just have to give give credit to

138
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 1: those guys that are kicking. Uh. You know, it's it's

139
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 1: not always it's not the easiest thing to do, obviously,

140
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 1: And uh, I would venture to say that all three

141
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 1: of those guys we have the long streaks probably have

142
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 1: the consistent snapper and the same holder, you know, so

143
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: when you can get that continuity, that makes a big difference.

144
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 1: And and it's no different than any other position on

145
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:52,039
Speaker 1: the field, whether it be quarterback you know in the

146
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: center and the old line, and you know receivers and

147
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,479
Speaker 1: quarterbacks like just and you know, the lineman and the

148
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 1: second guys play in together. Right. The consistency, that part

149
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,239
Speaker 1: of it that makes all the difference in the world.

150
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,599
Speaker 1: The punt that rolled and then the next one board

151
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:09,239
Speaker 1: whenever that s and you guys were happy with Pepper

152
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 1: is not feeling that or is that just a oh

153
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:16,440

181
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 1: the league that I've done that before. Andy Lee was

182
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: the same way. Andy Lee would hit the ball sixty yards,

183
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,839
Speaker 1: fifty five yards, sixty yards. Then all of a sudden

184
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 1: you're playing back and he'll miss hit one at forty

185
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,199
Speaker 1: and it rolls for fifteen yards. You know, it's just

187
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 1: They swing really hard at the ball, and then sometimes

188
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,079
Speaker 1: if they're off just a little bit, that ball of

189
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 1: you know, instead of it going sixty five yards, it

190
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 1: will hit at thirty eight or forty yards and it

191
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,080
Speaker 1: just take off. And so when he does misshit it,

192
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 1: you're not as ready to exactly
