1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:05,520
Speaker 1: Really important question can start and Nola. Nola has been

2
00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:07,560
Speaker 1: throwing the ball pretty well. I think Noel will do

3
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:10,760
Speaker 1: all right. Heck yeah, heck yeah.

4
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:13,640
Speaker 2: Does it feeling to get back out their football related

5
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:14,840
Speaker 2: activities anyways that.

6
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:18,279
Speaker 1: You know, quite the real thing, But yeah, no, it

7
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:18,919
Speaker 1: feels great.

8
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:22,640
Speaker 2: I think when I look back to this offseason and

9
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 2: most recently here at OTAs, it's been an awesome experience.

10
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:28,640
Speaker 2: Took the off season pretty seriously, took my four or

11
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:31,240
Speaker 2: five days after the season and got back to it.

12
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 2: So it's been a it's been a progressive build, but

13
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:37,479
Speaker 2: looking forward to continue to keep chipping away and the

14
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:38,960
Speaker 2: finished product come full time.

15
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:46,560
Speaker 1: What was sort of focus or primary focus? Yeah?

16
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:49,159
Speaker 2: No, I think the main thing has taken everything I

17
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 2: learned last year, good, bad and different, looking through my

18
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 2: journal and then going and match that with the film

19
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 2: after I took a few days away, just flushed the

20
00:00:58,120 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 2: mind of football, go back and look at it, and

21
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 2: I could.

22
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 1: Find some fundamental differences.

23
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 2: Look at some other guys across the league, and then

24
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:08,679
Speaker 2: continue to build that into one big snowball, push it

25
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:10,399
Speaker 2: down the hill, and let it keep getting faster and

26
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 2: faster as we get closer to the season. I mean,

27
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:14,919
Speaker 2: I guess.

28
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 1: Kickers Yep, Yeah, yeah I did.

29
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 2: I was all sorts of locations across the country, getting

30
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 2: with some coaches, some guys, getting some work done.

31
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: Because first off season in the NFL it's a big one.

32
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 2: You take everything, like I said, that you learned and

33
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 2: you get to build on that into year two. So

34
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:36,400
Speaker 2: I'm super thankful for everything that I've been able to

35
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 2: attack this offseason and looking forward to keeping it going.

36
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 2: Still got a couple months left to keep perfecting it.

37
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 2: As many different things as you've heard from you guys,

38
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 2: they're a common theme with former kickers stress.

39
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: To you to work down.

40
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 2: No, I would say, actually a lot of it was

41
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 2: self diagnosed and just no one knows my body quite

42
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 2: like I do.

43
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:58,919
Speaker 1: So trying to just go out.

44
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 2: On the field and having that freedom to go and

45
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 2: experiment back home in San Diego with Bryce and Joe

46
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,559
Speaker 2: all over that that was really special and I'm super

47
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 2: thankful for that time. So, Chad, have you done anything

48
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 2: to train differently this offseason than maybe a year ago?

49
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 1: Yeah?

50
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 2: I think every off season and from this one to

51
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:19,679
Speaker 2: the college ones to moving.

52
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 1: Forward, each one will be its own unique experience.

53
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 2: Try to eat a lot better train in a different

54
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 2: matter and then make those fundamental adjustments that I know

55
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 2: will ultimately.

56
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,360
Speaker 1: Make me a lot more successful come the fall time.

57
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:37,639
Speaker 2: Did you find anything specidic fundamental technique that you did change?

58
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 1: The answer to that is yes. Will I share it?

59
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 2: No, not yet, ask me like back half of the

60
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 2: season if you like, cite this day, like, hey, you

61
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 2: told me to tell you the fundamental stuff. I mean,

62
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 2: if you watch the film from last year and you

63
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,359
Speaker 2: watch where I'm out on the field now, You'll be

64
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 2: able to see some key differences if you really really

65
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 2: pay attention or have an eye for it. So I'm

66
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 2: going to keep that like in house myself. But the

67
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 2: answer is yes, if that makes sense, respectfully.

68
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 1: Sorry, What do you think you learned about yourself after

69
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 1: like looking back on your rookie year?

70
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, I think I learned a lot about myself.

71
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:12,919
Speaker 2: I think one of the most important things that I

72
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 2: learned was that I truly love my craft through the

73
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,839
Speaker 2: struggles of last year. I'm not going to hide hide

74
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 2: from that. I said it early on last year, like

75
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 2: a kick at I own it. No matter what the

76
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 2: circumstances are, I have to find a way as the

77
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 2: kicker to go and execute and hit the ball straight.

78
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 2: And that's that's what I've really taken upon myself this

79
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 2: off season. I'm lucky to have a bunch of good

80
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:34,360
Speaker 2: teammates around me to help me work through that stuff

81
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 2: and continue to chip away and have eyes on me

82
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 2: and be able to communicate like, hey, guys, this is

83
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 2: what I'm trying to accomplish here from your perspective or

84
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 2: Bryson the holding perspective, what does this look like feel

85
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 2: like comparatively to what we were at So that open

86
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 2: form of communication is huge.

87
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: That we're not looking backwards, we're looking we're looking forward.

88
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: Is that something you pick?

89
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 2: One hundred percent Chris, one hundred percent the best the

90
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 2: the turt motto tv I A the best is ahead,

91
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 2: and I think that's true for all all facets of football,

92
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 2: not just special teams.

93
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 1: But no, I'm certainly looking forward to it.

94
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 2: I'm no no coward do a challenge and certainly want

95
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 2: to continue to grow in my craft, and we'll hopefully

96
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 2: grow each year and take each off season moving forward

97
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 2: through how many years.

98
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: I'm blessed to.

99
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 2: Play as serious as I did this offseason to continue

100
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 2: working with them through the off season now here in

101
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,239
Speaker 2: the spring as opposed to the last year. You guys

102
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,280
Speaker 2: come in and you're working as an operation.

103
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:38,159
Speaker 1: There's time.

104
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 2: You're a rookie kicker having experience together.

105
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 1: In Yeah, I think it's huge.

106
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 2: Just that relationship and continual relationships that we're building with

107
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 2: each other. It goes a long way, whether you're in

108
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 2: the business world, the athletic world, the media world. When

109
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 2: you work longer with your co workers, you tend to

110
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 2: gain better relationships and and things start to come and

111
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 2: flow easier. You guys can critique each other on a

112
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 2: more level where you know it's not personal because we

113
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 2: all just want the best for each other and to

114
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 2: succeed at the end of the day.

115
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: Has it been digging into the new kickoff rules? Yeah,

116
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 1: it's fun.

117
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 2: I mean I don't make the rules, but I think

118
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 2: it's certainly an exciting new fast of the game and

119
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,160
Speaker 2: we'll we'll be interested to see how it plays out

120
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 2: come come season time.

121
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 1: How does that guy know?

122
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 2: Bryce said he was gonna get too much in the details,

123
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 2: But how much that shift your approach as a kickoff

124
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 2: kicker now with the you know, new strategy hit in

125
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:30,119
Speaker 2: a different area.

126
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:31,479
Speaker 1: I think it gives.

127
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,160
Speaker 2: It's a it's a new facet of the game that

128
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 2: hasn't been seen before at the NFL level, so it'll

129
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 2: be fun to see. It's almost like a like a

130
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 2: horse race like in Kentucky Derby. It's like who's going

131
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,039
Speaker 2: to get out of the gate fast and keep that

132
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,359
Speaker 2: lead with new discoveries.

133
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 1: And all that fun stuff. So it'll be fun. If

134
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 1: you talk to anybody who played the X, any kickers

135
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 1: who played, I have not. No, I have not. I

136
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 1: was relation between one hundred percent. I think that's that's

137
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:05,719
Speaker 1: one of the more fun.

138
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,919
Speaker 2: Similarities between kicking and then the other two sports I

139
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 2: played with baseball and soccer.

140
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 1: It takes the physical tools.

141
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 2: Of soccer mixed with the mindset of a baseball pitcher.

142
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 1: So that's kind of the.

143
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 2: The cool little throw it in the pot, stir it

144
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 2: all together, and in my head, that's how I get

145
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 2: my kicking fundamentals and mentality.

146
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:29,599
Speaker 1: Aunt of continuity, but also a lot to change in dealing.

147
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:31,479
Speaker 1: So how things kind of been different in terms of

148
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,039
Speaker 1: the vibe or anything like that would draw me engin.

149
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, I think for me, I'm always trying to

150
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 2: have a positive output. I can only speak for myself,

151
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,159
Speaker 2: but I'm just trying to attack every day, as I

152
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 2: think a lot of the guys are just trying to

153
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 2: get better each day and just want to continue to

154
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,279
Speaker 2: grow as a team as individuals so we can put

155
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,480
Speaker 2: together a good product on the field. In the fall,

156
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 2: I started reading your book. I started reading one of

157
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:00,040
Speaker 2: your books and the Bible. I'm trying to finish the

158
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 2: Bible by the time camp starts.

159
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, no one, yeah yeah yeah. Awesome. Thanks guys, Thanks guys.

160
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 2: Thank
