1
00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:08,520
Speaker 1: Mike, it's been nice getting reps with Joe and been

2
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:11,440
Speaker 1: nice getting back into the routine of the week. How

3
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:14,320
Speaker 1: comfortable do you feel with kickoffs and kickoff situations? I

4
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:16,200
Speaker 1: know it's something we saw you do during the preseason,

5
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 1: also something you did in college. What's your comfortability on that? Yeah,

6
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:22,599
Speaker 1: I'm comfortable with it. Coach, I feel like, trust me

7
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 1: with it and I'm ready to go. What are something

8
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 1: in a kickoff situation that people watching the game doesn't

9
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 1: realize in a kickoff situation? Yes, distance, hang time, and

10
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:38,839
Speaker 1: direction is what you're going for in terms of and

11
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 1: then in terms of being the sort of the last

12
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:44,240
Speaker 1: line of defense tackle wise, Yeah, stick your nose in

13
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 1: there and make sure there's no open holes. Are building

14
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 1: it a couple of days, it gets now, I'm just

15
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,239
Speaker 1: really one day. But what what's your first impression. I'm like,

16
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 1: really nice guy. I'm a huge fan of him and

17
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 1: hope to get to know him better. Kind of things

18
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 1: you try to work with him on quickly to get

19
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 1: comfortable too. Uh, just consistency in our whole operation and

20
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 1: feeling comfortable. How much different hold for a game that

21
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:11,400
Speaker 1: it is for Steven? I mean, is a different hold

22
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 1: different kickers. Each kicker has different preferences with ball tilt

23
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 1: and lean, and so it's just seeing what he likes

24
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:25,119
Speaker 1: and trying to accommodate him best. I can a little

25
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 1: bit different in different situations, like different wins. Steven would

26
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: like it a different way than Mike, and so it's

27
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 1: just different situations we're having to work through. How hard

28
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:36,679
Speaker 1: is it to get all on the same page within

29
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 1: three or four days? It's it's it's doable. It's definitely doable. Um.

30
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 1: We've all been kicking for a lot of our lives,

31
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 1: and it's when you go out and practice in the offseason.

32
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 1: You're kicking with a bunch of different kickers, So that's

33
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 1: good practice. You get right there, just getting used to

34
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,559
Speaker 1: different guys. He would never say it wasn't doable either, right, No,

35
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: how about Steven kil How much do you feel for

36
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 1: a guy like that who's basically been here forever doing

37
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: what does it? At elite level? Yeah? I can't say

38
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 1: enough good things about Stephen Steve. He's one of my

39
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 1: good friends that I've got grown close to here. Um,

40
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:16,519
Speaker 1: and he's told me he'll be around trying to help

41
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: me as much as he can, which I really um

42
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: am happy about so. I'll miss him for sure, but

43
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: he's still going to remain a good friend and I'll

44
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 1: be close to him. I don't know if it's as

45
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:31,679
Speaker 1: do you anticipate being the place taker for Sunday? I

46
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 1: have no idea. I will do whatever coach as I

47
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:40,959
Speaker 1: don't know. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
