1 00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:09,720 Speaker 1: I'm will how you guys doing to see you guys. No, 2 00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:12,840 Speaker 1: it's good to see you guys. It is last year 3 00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:17,239 Speaker 1: was you know? It was different? It's weird. Mum. Do 4 00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:19,560 Speaker 1: you know Sean's waited all that was the first time 5 00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:21,040 Speaker 1: when we got to chat with him. I don't know 6 00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:23,079 Speaker 1: if that's something of the captain to reach out to him. 7 00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:26,520 Speaker 1: It's his birthday. What steps just told me twenty three? 8 00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:29,280 Speaker 1: I can't remember twenty three. No, he's been he's been 9 00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:32,680 Speaker 1: a really good kid to have around. His effort in 10 00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:37,680 Speaker 1: practice has been fantastic. Um. Obviously he's very talented, UM, 11 00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,479 Speaker 1: but his he's worked really hard at it. You know, 12 00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:42,280 Speaker 1: it's tough as a rookie when you come to a 13 00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:45,360 Speaker 1: new team towards the end of training camp, trying to 14 00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:49,199 Speaker 1: get to know guys, UM, trying to learn the defense itself. 15 00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,919 Speaker 1: But he's done a good job. He's a quiet kid, 16 00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:54,960 Speaker 1: kind of six to himself. But um, you know we're 17 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:58,920 Speaker 1: excited to have him here. How do you go for 18 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:08,480 Speaker 1: a week one than the week? Yeah? I mean, look, 19 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:10,200 Speaker 1: you have to be able to hit the reset button 20 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:14,960 Speaker 1: in this league. Um, every week is a new week, 21 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:20,319 Speaker 1: it's a new opportunity. You have to be refocused, re energized, UM, 22 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,840 Speaker 1: and just focus on the task at hand. So for us, 23 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,399 Speaker 1: what happened last week has no bearing on this week. Um. 24 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:28,479 Speaker 1: We have a tall task ahead of us, playing another 25 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:33,040 Speaker 1: UM opponent that's in the division. A lot of change 26 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:36,120 Speaker 1: on this football team obviously, new coaching staff, new quarterback, 27 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 1: new supporting cast. So we've gotten to know them throughout 28 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 1: the course of the week. We'll continue to do so, 29 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:43,560 Speaker 1: and we got to come out Sunday with a lot 30 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 1: of energy and focus. Obviously play on the road. So UM, 31 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 1: we're excited about the challenge. Watching the Jets Panthers game, 32 00:01:53,840 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 1: the Jets covered, Yeah, when you watch there, well, I mean, 33 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:04,279 Speaker 1: you know, Justin Hardy, who came over to the Jets 34 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:08,640 Speaker 1: from New Orleans, is a great player, and I think 35 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:10,800 Speaker 1: if you know the kicking game in this league, you 36 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 1: know who he is. He's really come onto the scene 37 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 1: strong here in the last few years, and he plays 38 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,920 Speaker 1: with a lot of passion and energy. His effort is 39 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 1: second to none. So he's leading the charge over there 40 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 1: for them, and he's doing a great job. He's a 41 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,359 Speaker 1: player that I've really enjoyed watching over the years, and 42 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 1: he's really coming to his own and then a C 43 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 1: who is here with us. You know, we know he 44 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:40,920 Speaker 1: can run. He's big and fast, and he causes a 45 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 1: lot of problems. So I would say those two guys 46 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,800 Speaker 1: are really leading the charge. They've got a good supporting 47 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 1: cast with some size players, some other fast, skilled players, 48 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 1: younger guys, and obviously coach Boyer over there does a 49 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 1: great job. You know, He's always coached his units to 50 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 1: play a certain way, to play UM, with toughness, to 51 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 1: compete at a really high level. UM. So you know, 52 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:07,079 Speaker 1: we got our hands full, there's no doubt about that 53 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 1: for a special teams. Just as we sit here today, 54 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,919 Speaker 1: what's your assessment after the first game and forward? You know, 55 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,360 Speaker 1: we've got to improve. UM. I don't think any of 56 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 1: us were pleased with the way we played on Sunday. UM. 57 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:26,239 Speaker 1: A lot of the issues that we had were self inflicted. UM. 58 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 1: But you know, we we got to get it fixed 59 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 1: and we have the men to do that. UM. We 60 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 1: have some of the best players in this league on 61 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 1: this team. We believe that. But it's one thing to 62 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 1: believe that and have it on paper, and it's another 63 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 1: thing to go out and execute and do it on 64 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 1: the field. So it's up to us to go out 65 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,560 Speaker 1: there and take care of our business on the field. 66 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 1: We need to have an edge in the kicking game 67 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 1: this week. It's gonna be tough for us to have 68 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 1: an edge in the kicking game this week, but we've 69 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 1: got to find a way to create one and make 70 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 1: some play. So there's a lot of room for improvement. 71 00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 1: Hopefully we start to see that this week. About the 72 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 1: just the way the team responded, I know that's something 73 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 1: taking temperature after after defeat. Well, you know, I think 74 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:16,599 Speaker 1: that the best thing to do after a game like 75 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 1: the one we had Sunday is to come back to work, 76 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 1: um and go back to the drawing board, getting back 77 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 1: to our fundamentals and focus on the things that we 78 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 1: can control starting on the practice field. And I think 79 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 1: we've we've done that thus far. These first two days 80 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 1: of practice have been good, good focus, good energy. Um. 81 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:36,360 Speaker 1: You know, Well, we'll see what type of character this 82 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 1: team has. I believe we're a high character football team, 83 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:41,840 Speaker 1: but you know, you find that out when you face adversity, 84 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 1: and certainly we're facing something early on here. But it's 85 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:49,279 Speaker 1: a long season. We have to continue to keep faith 86 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,200 Speaker 1: in our process, faith in each other and uh see 87 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:56,159 Speaker 1: what that gets us? Maybe maybe, and any any deep 88 00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:00,600 Speaker 1: thoughts on a punter on the name of da always 89 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:02,600 Speaker 1: have deep thoughts on a pun of by the name 90 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 1: of Jake Bailey. I am a little bit biased, but 91 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 1: I believe he's the finest that our business has the offer. 92 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 1: And you know, as an older player in this league, 93 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 1: I've been around a lot of guys. I've seen a 94 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 1: lot of guys, and the thing that I appreciate most 95 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 1: about this young man is his commitment to his craft. 96 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:25,360 Speaker 1: No matter what kind of success he has. He's harder 97 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 1: on himself than anyone. He wants to get better. He 98 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 1: pushes himself every day. Sometimes we got to pull the 99 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 1: reins back on him. But it's a joy to work 100 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 1: with guys like that. It makes you appreciate the opportunity 101 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:39,600 Speaker 1: to be a part of a team and play alongside 102 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 1: great teammates like that. So, Jake, we're expecting a lot 103 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 1: from this season, rightfully so, because because of what we 104 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,359 Speaker 1: know he can do, and like I said, he's a 105 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,160 Speaker 1: big part of what we do in the kicking game. 106 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 1: His role, his job is important. It makes us go 107 00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 1: so collectively. Hopefully this week we have a good week. 108 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:04,480 Speaker 1: Thanks guys, appreciate it.
