Speaker 1: and like I said, you got some great men on

32
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 1: this team. You know, Matthew Slayer, I try to mimic

33
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 1: everything he does from cold tubs, the you know EPs

34
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: and saw bath. I try to mimic him in every

35
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: sense of the way he's he's he's a great leader

36
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 1: and a great teammate. It was cool, it's cool to

37
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 1: get into the stadium. Was cool to you know, kind

38
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 1: of get some sort of organized football back. But uh,

39
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: you know, we got to pump the brakes. Remember it's

40
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 1: just practice, and you know, just another day. Today was practice.

41
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 1: Tomorrow I'll be practice. There'll be another practice day after that,

42
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:50,639
Speaker 1: and then we got a game, So that's your I'm

43
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: just focused on getting better and taking everything one day

44
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:57,359
Speaker 1: at a time. When you signed, I apologized, you're good.

45
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 1: When you signed, we were aware of the udfast here.

46
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 1: Uh no, I'm the only one. Though. Have you heard

47
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: about it since or it's been what does it right?

48
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 1: Seventeen years straight to the un made the team. I was, well,

49
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: I was going to ask if that played into your

50
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 1: decision at all, but obviously I didn't have any other choices,

51
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: so this is the best decision. But also so when

52
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: we talked to Bill before you go, he said that

53
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 1: they're going to try to keep challenging him. He was

54
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 1: kind of talking about the conditions. How do how does

55
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 1: a kicker challenge yourself in practicing? Yeah, I think, you know,

56
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 1: taking the metal reps. I remember um and OTAs we

57
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: had a practice and it was raining, and you know,

58
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 1: we played on turf in college and practice fields and everything,

59
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 1: and I hadn't had the rain like that at practice.

60
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: And then we were on grass and I and I

61
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: fell down and I was mortified that I had fallen out.

62
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 1: I was so embarrassed and got a pair of spikes,

63
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: and then we had I believe it was the last

64
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: week we got a rainy practice, and I wanted to

65
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 1: make sure I could show that I got a good

66
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 1: practice when it was raining on the grass, and uh,

67
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 1: you know, I felt I did that. But it's just

68
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 1: getting better, learning and doing the best you can every

69
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: day is the reaction. Yeah, So I gotta I gotta

70
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 1: text from Cam coach Cam and he was like, UH,

71
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 1: might have something, not sure, And it's like ten o'clock

72
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 1: at night, Like I was sitting in a recliner all

73
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 1: day on my laptop calling people looking for a job.

74
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 1: And I was on a walk with my mom and

75
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: my agent called me told me that you know, we're

76
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 1: gonna get your contract and I said, I'm not gonna

77
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:37,039
Speaker 1: believe anything. So there's something at my house. So you know,

78
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 1: something came to the house, and extremely grateful, but I

79
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 1: could not I couldn't even believe it because you know,

80
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 1: when you want something to happen and it doesn't happen,

81
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: and you wait and you wait and you wait, you're

82
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 1: just you know that much more grateful when the opportunity

83
00:04:50,960 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 1: does come. So uh no, I mean literally, Uh. I

84
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: think it was like two days after my dad needed

85
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 1: like the deck power washed, and you know, all my

86
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:07,719
Speaker 1: buddies at times with teams, and I was like, you

87
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 1: know what, I could rent this power washer. I could

88
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:13,840
Speaker 1: powerwash decks in the neighborhood. But yeah, I mean I

89
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 1: wanted to give it a shot. You know, when this

90
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 1: is every you know, kids person's dream to to get

91
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 1: a chance to play for the New England Patriots a

92
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 1: lot of other products. Yeah, yeah, I mean, Mike was

93
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 1: on the field goal team with me, uh in college.

94
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 1: So it's it's great seeing him and Josh cam Chase, like,

95
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 1: it's so cool, like your teammates are in this locker

96
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:51,719
Speaker 1: room there, so awesome. Yeah, pretty story experience. Yeah, I

97
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:53,600
Speaker 1: think I think, uh, you know, my senior year was

98
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 1: a humbling experience, right. I went, I went two for

99
00:05:55,839 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 1: five my senior year. Um, and no one wants to,

100
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 1: you know, their last game they've ever played a football

101
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 1: you go over three. Uh. And then that was honestly

102
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 1: the last game of my career to day, the last

103
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: game I played in. I went over three, missed kicking overtime,

104
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 1: I missed a fifty five and yeah, I think it

105
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,679
Speaker 1: was a forty nine. And so that's kind of stuck

106
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,480
Speaker 1: with me. Throughout the process, waiting to get a call,

107
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 1: maybe not getting a call. And I think that's really

108
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 1: uh kind of turned me into the person I end today.

109
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:29,479
Speaker 1: It's given me different perspective and look on things. You're

110
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 1: getting a chance to work down here now, I feel

111
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 1: like different voice or or a different teaching or Yeah,

112
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 1: we've got some like tremendous, tremendous coaches. Joe Houston does

113
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,839
Speaker 1: does a great job. And you know, I never really

114
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 1: had any like coaching coaching. Brandon Kornblo I've worked with

115
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 1: a couple of times, but Joe like has helped me

116
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 1: tremendously since I've gotten here. And I remember the first

117
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 1: day we were like measuring my steps and I kicked one.

118
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 1: I missed it why and it went super far and

119
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 1: they were like, okay, we need you to measure out.

120
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 1: You know your steps. It needs to be one twenty two.

121
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 1: You got to hit that mark every single time. So

122
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: every time we weren't in a meeting, I was in

123
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 1: there with the tape measure taking my step, getting the

124
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 1: tape measure, putting it down. And I did that like

125
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 1: for hours and hours and hours. But the coaching has

126
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 1: been awesome. Okay, thanks guys okay,
