1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,000 Speaker 1: Coach, I want to ask you about something that didn't 2 00:00:02,040 --> 00:00:06,040 Speaker 1: happen in one of your games in the Dallas Atlanta 3 00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:08,840 Speaker 1: game the other day, the the onside kick where it 4 00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:12,200 Speaker 1: kind of looked like Atlanta some Atlanta players didn't I 5 00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:14,840 Speaker 1: didn't kind of know the rule. Do you use those 6 00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:19,160 Speaker 1: with your guys as as teachable moments? And at some 7 00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:21,639 Speaker 1: point do you just have to trust you know that 8 00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:23,439 Speaker 1: the guys you're putting out there know some of the 9 00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:26,480 Speaker 1: rules that you can't that you can't cover. Well, you 10 00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:29,440 Speaker 1: never assume right. You know, you know what they say 11 00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:32,080 Speaker 1: when you assume right. So now we we go through 12 00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:35,440 Speaker 1: those situations all the time. A matter of fact, last Friday, 13 00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:39,080 Speaker 1: we were out um going through some hands and on 14 00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:42,600 Speaker 1: side situation that very thing came up and we talked 15 00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,920 Speaker 1: about it and uh with between a Golden Tate and 16 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:48,160 Speaker 1: a couple of the guys in the front line. So yeah, 17 00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:50,800 Speaker 1: those are things that you're constantly coaching. Those are things 18 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:56,160 Speaker 1: that you're constantly trying to make sure that you never 19 00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:59,320 Speaker 1: ever put yourself in a position where that that I 20 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:03,040 Speaker 1: has not added and that tea is not cross at 21 00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:05,080 Speaker 1: some point or do you have to trust that guys 22 00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:09,199 Speaker 1: just know some of the rules. Yeah, you know, you 23 00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 1: it's easy to say, just trust them, but you gotta 24 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:13,880 Speaker 1: teach you to him and they got to know it 25 00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:16,840 Speaker 1: and then then they have to go execute. You know, 26 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:20,119 Speaker 1: when when the pressure is applied, what's then you'll come out. So, 27 00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:22,839 Speaker 1: you know, you gotta make sure that they're they're full 28 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:25,200 Speaker 1: of what's full of the right stuff so when the 29 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:30,040 Speaker 1: pressure is applied, it comes out correctly. Thank you. H Okay, 30 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:32,880 Speaker 1: Hey t Mac, I'm sure it tells you that that 31 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,760 Speaker 1: one wasn't down, you know, inside the one. But what 32 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 1: makes Riley so good at you're really pinning those points 33 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 1: and teeth like that repetition. He works at it, you know, 34 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 1: and that there there's no substitute for success. You know, 35 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 1: it comes through hard work. And that kid has been 36 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 1: working his tail off and uh, he's been doing it 37 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:55,080 Speaker 1: for a long time. Uh. That's something that that we're 38 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 1: we're doing a lot of. We gotta do a better 39 00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 1: job of making sure that we could take advantage of 40 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 1: that fell set and that's something that we're working at. 41 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 1: We got some some new guys in that position, and 42 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 1: you know, not having a spring and going through not 43 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 1: not really really being able to fine tune it. You know, 44 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 1: this is something, this is an area of our game 45 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:14,800 Speaker 1: that we have to improve in and it starts with 46 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:16,400 Speaker 1: the guy that's sitting right here. We got to make 47 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,240 Speaker 1: sure that we get these guys ready and we can 48 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,400 Speaker 1: take advantage of the twenty five yards that we lost 49 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 1: the other day on that one play, right, because that's 50 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:26,519 Speaker 1: that's big over the course of the game, losing that 51 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 1: kind of field position. You just it's unacceptable when you 52 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 1: can't do it. And on that point, I mean, how 53 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,080 Speaker 1: do you punt the ball, you know, sixty yards and 54 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 1: have it check up like it's a sand wedge? I mean, 55 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 1: is that something with just the technique is that? How 56 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:39,800 Speaker 1: do you do that? You have to ask Riley that 57 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,359 Speaker 1: you know that he has he has a really unique 58 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 1: skill set and he's very confident in himself and he 59 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,519 Speaker 1: just know he knows uh what he's doing and how 60 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 1: to do it. Thanks heat Leonard. I just want to 61 00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 1: know what you think of some of the young guys 62 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,079 Speaker 1: performance on special teams. Are new guys I should say 63 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 1: to like guys like c J. Board and then also 64 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 1: through the first couple of weeks, Cam Brown, Carter Coughlin, 65 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:07,960 Speaker 1: you know just how you think some of the new 66 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,960 Speaker 1: guys have acclimated and played. They're all working hard. Uh, 67 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,120 Speaker 1: you know, they're they're trying to figure it out. Pat 68 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,720 Speaker 1: you know, it's like everybody else. This is the first 69 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 1: time some of these guys have ever done this, you know, 70 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 1: well this first time they've ever done it on this level. 71 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 1: So you know, it's it's it's no, it's no different 72 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 1: when you're try and do anything else for the first time, 73 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 1: some something new. So there's some things they gotta learn. Uh, 74 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,520 Speaker 1: there's been some some really good uh, some good things 75 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 1: that we've seen on tape. So each one of those 76 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,080 Speaker 1: guys individually got to work on the individual skill set 77 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 1: and just understand the new nuances of the positions that 78 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 1: they're playing and who they're playing against. And uh, they'll 79 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 1: they'll keep getting better every week. And that you know, 80 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 1: that's our mantra in our room. You know that word 81 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 1: haus and you know the act of continuous improvements. So 82 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 1: we're always trying to find ways to get the old guys, 83 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 1: any young guys better. If guys um struggle earlier, whatever, 84 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 1: would you rather turn it over on a certain unit 85 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 1: until you find the right match, or would you rather 86 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 1: kind of with with some young mistakes to build consistency 87 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 1: with a group like say on I don't know kick return. Well, 88 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 1: the thing about it is, it's it's a it's a 89 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 1: complete maturation process of the whole unit. You know, this 90 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,160 Speaker 1: is a brand new unit. This is you know, this 91 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 1: is a brand new year. You know. So we we 92 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 1: gotta understand that it's gonna take time. It's a process, 93 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 1: you know, And and throughout the process, you're gonna find 94 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 1: out who's who, who can do what, And there are 95 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 1: gonna be some guys that rise in the process, and 96 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 1: there's gonna be some guys that face themselves out in 97 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,160 Speaker 1: the process, you know. So that that's the one thing 98 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 1: we gotta do is just stick to the process, because 99 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,840 Speaker 1: the process is what it is. And then when we're 100 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 1: on the other side of it, uh, we'll see who's 101 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,280 Speaker 1: who's doing what and and and see how much success 102 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 1: we can have. Thank you, We'll take two more. Canaan 103 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 1: and Jordan's Hey, how you doing, Tom Good? This is 104 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 1: kind of a simple one. I mean, Graham went out 105 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 1: there for the fifty seven yarder and I assume it 106 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,039 Speaker 1: was within his range. He just hit that or what 107 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,120 Speaker 1: he just missed it? Just a little a little deep 108 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 1: on his plant or not deep enough on his plant, 109 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:15,599 Speaker 1: and uh, you know that happens. You know that fifty 110 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,760 Speaker 1: yr field goals are right around anywhere from you know 111 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 1: fifty you know for most pro pro kickers. So I 112 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,360 Speaker 1: mean that's that's just part of it. I mean sometimes 113 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 1: you hit him, sometimes you don't, you know, but Graham, 114 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,839 Speaker 1: that's well within his range and he should have made it. 115 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:34,039 Speaker 1: He and he'd tell you the same thing, corect thank you. 116 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,480 Speaker 1: That's want to hear Jordan's Hey, t Mac, what's going on? 117 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,360 Speaker 1: Hey Jordan, how you doing? I didn't drop on you 118 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:46,599 Speaker 1: this time this week? Uh how close are you? I 119 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 1: mean it aren't you breaking some of these returns? It 120 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,560 Speaker 1: looks like your brills is like on the verge. I mean, 121 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:53,279 Speaker 1: is that the way you see it? I mean, and 122 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 1: what is the next step? Like, how do you get 123 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 1: to that point? Just working on our individual techniques at 124 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage, especially when it comes to punt return, 125 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,280 Speaker 1: and then just finishing at the point of attack. You 126 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 1: know that that's the thing. I mean, we gotta get 127 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 1: better at the line so we can be cleaner and 128 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 1: then we could have better technique down the field. And 129 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:13,560 Speaker 1: then once we get to the point to where we're 130 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,320 Speaker 1: finishing at the point of attack, you know, Jabril's natural 131 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 1: instincts and and uh and ball skills and and open 132 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 1: field run skills take over, you know, So that that's 133 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 1: the part we gotta get to and you know we'll 134 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:31,280 Speaker 1: get there eventually. It's just it's again, it's a process. Yeah, yeah, 135 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 1: I do. You know, anytime that guy has the ball 136 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 1: in his hands, he has the ability to make a play. 137 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,480 Speaker 1: So we just have to understand that as a punt 138 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 1: return unit. Uh. You know, the guy we got can 139 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,159 Speaker 1: make plays, and we just got to make sure that 140 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,480 Speaker 1: we do our jobs as individuals, uh, to make sure 141 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 1: that we contribute to him making a play.
