1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,560
Speaker 1: Think first and foremo, congratulations on I'm getting to the

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:07,600
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl. Just what was your initial reaction when they

3
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:10,959
Speaker 1: told you and how did they tell you? Well, thank you,

4
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:16,120
Speaker 1: thank you very much. I was just over the moon excited.

5
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:18,439
Speaker 1: I just got a call from Coach. I was playing

6
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:21,959
Speaker 1: video games with my buddy from high school at the time.

7
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 1: Got a call from coach and Coach Cam was on

8
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:29,800
Speaker 1: the line too, and they just said he made it.

9
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:32,840
Speaker 1: Good job, and I was so so happy. I don't

10
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:34,479
Speaker 1: really remember the rest of the phone goal. I just

11
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 1: remember the first you made it, so I was pumped.

12
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 1: When you were around guys like Matthew Slater, like Jody,

13
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:45,919
Speaker 1: like Justin Bethel, like Coody Davis, the guys who take

14
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 1: this seriously, the special teams. How much has that kind

15
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 1: of framed you into taking what you're doing seriously, even

16
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 1: if you were doing it before, but even more seriously. Well,

17
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 1: it just gives me the best framework possible to learn

18
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 1: out of work as a special teamer. Like when you

19
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 1: talk about Matthew Slayer, he's the best special teamer to

20
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 1: ever do it. And then Justin Bethel was on track

21
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,399
Speaker 1: to be right there too. I got the two best

22
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 1: gunners to really ever play this game almost and they

23
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: give me a really cool framework to watch and come

24
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 1: to work every day and try and emulate what they do.

25
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:31,839
Speaker 1: Next question Mike Chrias, followed by Chris Ryan. Hey, Jake,

26
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 1: how are you doing? Am I good? Are you good?

27
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 1: What was the video game Call of Duty? I was

28
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:42,039
Speaker 1: playing Call Duty war Zone? There you go. That was

29
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,400
Speaker 1: my first question. I wasn't expecting to ask for the one,

30
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 1: But what I want to ask you just what has

31
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 1: this year been like when you combine personal growth off

32
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: the field professional How would you sort of disc end

33
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: everything that's gone on in this year right? How would

34
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 1: you sort of sum up the year for you? It's

35
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 1: kind of hard to sum it up in one sentence.

36
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 1: I'd say it's kind of it's a mix of like

37
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:13,080
Speaker 1: being in lockdown and totally focused on football. Um, not

38
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: that I wasn't last year or any year prior, but

39
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 1: it's it's been cool to being quarantine per se for

40
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 1: the past six seven months and really be your social

41
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 1: activity is your job, and just I think I enjoyed

42
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 1: it a whole a whole lot, being able to come

43
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 1: in and talk to Nick every day, talk to Joe,

44
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 1: and that's like some of your highlights, so it's been

45
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 1: cool for me. Next question Chris Ryan, followed by Alex Barry. Hey, Jake, UM,

46
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 1: just want to ask you how you think you've punted

47
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,640
Speaker 1: the football this year and do you feel like there's

48
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 1: been your consistent growth in in the way you have

49
00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: you've punted the football. And how much do you take

50
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: from from stats as opposed to just the feel that

51
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: you get for the further way, what you're able to

52
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 1: do with conditions, etc. Yeah, that's a good question. Um.

53
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 1: I think a huge difference in between this year and

54
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 1: last year would be just playing in different environments, playing

55
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:25,079
Speaker 1: in Jellette Stadium more times, and having more experience, especially

56
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: like hidden into the tunnel area where the light lighthouse is.

57
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 1: You kind of have to know how to play that ball,

58
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: and having experience with that has helped a lot. And

59
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: then just knowing how to make mistakes in a in

60
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: a punt and still have the result be still pretty good.

61
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: So it's it's all about leaning on my coaching staff,

62
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 1: which I can't say enough good things about coach cam

63
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,119
Speaker 1: Coach Belichick, and coach Houston, like they've helped me out

64
00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: tremendously this year and last year and then all my

65
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 1: my punt team, like those guys are day and day

66
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 1: out helping me out a ton. So that's that's been

67
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: a huge difference for me this year and being recognized

68
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 1: and going to the Pro Bowl in your second year.

69
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,279
Speaker 1: Is that something that you could even have imagined and

70
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,040
Speaker 1: coming into the league that you'd have that impact as

71
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 1: quickly or did you expect to have this type of impact.

72
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 1: I didn't know if I'd make it past high school football.

73
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 1: To be honest, I am every day is just a

74
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 1: blessing and I'm very very thankful to be here. Thanks. Thanks.

75
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 1: Question Alex Bart's followed by Zach cox A Jake has

76
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 1: a gone congratulations, good good. How are you? Thank you? So?

77
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 1: I know you mentioned that you had a bit of

78
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,600
Speaker 1: a relationship with with Thomas moore stead last week, but

79
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 1: I'm just curious who some of your favorite punters were

80
00:04:53,680 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 1: growing up. Um. Growing up, it was Pat McPhee Thomas

81
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 1: Moore said were the two big name guys at the time.

82
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 1: And then my college coach compared me to Reggie Robi

83
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:13,160
Speaker 1: because he had a really big leg swing and wouldn't

84
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:16,359
Speaker 1: really bring his leg off the ground when he punted.

85
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,159
Speaker 1: So I was a guy I kind of looked up

86
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: a little bit just on Google Search and looked at

87
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,840
Speaker 1: him a few times. But so I'd say, those three guys,

88
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 1: you guys I look up to. Thanks. It looks I

89
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:35,479
Speaker 1: find a question. Zach Cox, Hey Jake, we were just

90
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: talking to Nick and he said he appreciates how you

91
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 1: take holding as seriously as you take punting and kicking off.

92
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 1: What does that entail? How do you prepare to be

93
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: a good holder? Well, in part, it's been his help.

94
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,720
Speaker 1: He's helped me out tremendously. He's given me drill work

95
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 1: to do. There's so many drills you can do for holding,

96
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 1: kicking off, and it's just about if you're gonna be

97
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 1: willing to put in the time and effort into doing

98
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 1: those drills. And so honestly, a lot of credit goes

99
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 1: to him because he's taught me a lot of different things,

100
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 1: shown me how to go through these drills and helped

101
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 1: me out tremendously. And just one more quick one. As

102
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 1: a punter, how how lucky do you feel to have

103
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 1: guys like Matthew and justin chasing those those kicks every

104
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 1: every time, it's it's everything. And then it's it's Joe

105
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 1: throwing me strikes every time he snaps the ball. It's

106
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: Nick on the sideline being in my ear giving me

107
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:40,159
Speaker 1: good caddy advice. It's Uh coach Cam Coach Joe doing

108
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 1: the same thing, being great caddies and just being all

109
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 1: overall great coaches. Everybody's helped me out a tremendous amount,

110
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: and especially Matthew Slayter and Justin Betfel, Cody Davis. Those

111
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:57,280
Speaker 1: are guys covering those punts as well. Great. Thanks Jake, congrats, Yeah,

112
00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 1: thank you, Thank you Jake. Thanks everyone, problem taking
