1 00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:03,080 Speaker 1: I think most people have reset their hands here, but 2 00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:04,640 Speaker 1: I would just ask you to raise a hand if 3 00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:06,160 Speaker 1: you have a question for Cam. We're gonna start with 4 00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:13,160 Speaker 1: Mike Reas followed by Phil Perry. Sounds great, Cam, Good morning. 5 00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:17,040 Speaker 1: How are you doing more than like all right, Kansas 6 00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:21,960 Speaker 1: City Chief? Speed on special teams? How does that challenge 7 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,600 Speaker 1: you guys this week? You know, that's definitely something they 8 00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:28,120 Speaker 1: have out there. When you look at them and everything 9 00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:30,040 Speaker 1: like that, they're a really good team. They do a 10 00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:32,720 Speaker 1: really good job in all the phases. The thing we 11 00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:34,840 Speaker 1: gotta do is, you know, we gotta look at and see, 12 00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:36,559 Speaker 1: you know, what we can do to match up with 13 00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:38,400 Speaker 1: that and how the best way we can attack that. 14 00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:41,080 Speaker 1: But that's definitely across the board. You know, when you 15 00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:42,720 Speaker 1: look at them, you know they're built with speed and 16 00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:45,400 Speaker 1: all facets. You know, they got some really good returners 17 00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:47,479 Speaker 1: back there as well. So that's something we've got to 18 00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:49,239 Speaker 1: do a really good job of trying to put our 19 00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:51,520 Speaker 1: guys in the best position to match that speed for sure. 20 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:57,160 Speaker 1: Follow up follow up on that. CAM coverage units start 21 00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 1: with kickoff coverage through three weeks. What are your thoughts 22 00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:05,920 Speaker 1: you know for us? You know obviously made some improvements 23 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:08,680 Speaker 1: in some strides last week. That was definitely not only 24 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,560 Speaker 1: in that kickoff phase, but you know, situationally made some 25 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:13,240 Speaker 1: good plays on the punt team as well, with our 26 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,839 Speaker 1: gunners getting down their force fair catch. So we're making 27 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,360 Speaker 1: some strides, we're making some improvements, and we still got 28 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:20,000 Speaker 1: some things we've got to clean up and improve on, 29 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:22,680 Speaker 1: but there's definitely be some progress, which is a positive 30 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:32,959 Speaker 1: thing alright. Next question, Philip Perry Kim, I'm curious if 31 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,760 Speaker 1: through three weeks you've noticed any trends that we talked 32 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,320 Speaker 1: to you earlier in the season about how, you know, 33 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,560 Speaker 1: sort of a unique circumstance that all special teams units 34 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,119 Speaker 1: are in going into this year with no preseason games. 35 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 1: Have you noticed anything league wide that maybe you weren't expecting, 36 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:52,240 Speaker 1: whether it's tackling or you know, just experience as some 37 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:53,640 Speaker 1: of these players that are out there, I think a 38 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 1: lot of times, you know, not necessarily with you guys maybe, 39 00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,559 Speaker 1: but the younger players that are involved in the kicking 40 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:00,440 Speaker 1: game across the NFL. I'm just wonder and if there's 41 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 1: anything that you've seen thus far through three weeks that 42 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:08,640 Speaker 1: maybe you weren't expecting. I wouldn't seem much like not expecting. Um. 43 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:10,799 Speaker 1: I think some things have shown up, is that. Yeah, 44 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:12,919 Speaker 1: there's some learning curves with some of the younger guys 45 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 1: across the league. That's that's been showing up. That guys 46 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,080 Speaker 1: you can tell, hey, it's their first time out. There's 47 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,800 Speaker 1: first play, especially you know in the kicking game, it 48 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,920 Speaker 1: moves fast. So I think the guys getting adjust to 49 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 1: the team's speed on the field is definitely showing up 50 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 1: a little bit, you know, which we expected. I think, 51 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:30,960 Speaker 1: you know, across the league, everybody's just trying to steal 52 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 1: see hey, all right, what was it like? Well one preseason, 53 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 1: two preeces in games? You know, all right, where's this 54 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 1: guy really fit? What can he do when the bullets 55 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 1: are flying? How can he react? So I think it's 56 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:42,960 Speaker 1: still gonna be a progression. I think you're gonna see 57 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,840 Speaker 1: improved play, um as you do throughout every season. But 58 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 1: I think it's just going to continue to get better 59 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 1: and better. Thanks him, Ye, thanks Phil. We're gonna go 60 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,000 Speaker 1: back to Mike Reece. If anybody else has a question 61 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,800 Speaker 1: for Cam, please raise your hand now. I could follow 62 00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 1: up Mike if if if it's okay with you, Phil, 63 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:02,960 Speaker 1: let's let's follow it up sort of like I'm a 64 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 1: double gunner, you know, like he sort of came down 65 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,680 Speaker 1: the field. We got them cornered. You got it, Phil, 66 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:11,920 Speaker 1: You're we're got the vice going right now. That's good teamwork. 67 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,919 Speaker 1: I appreciate that. Understand the techniques and what's going on. 68 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,639 Speaker 1: That's that's good stuff right there, playing off of one another. 69 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:22,519 Speaker 1: But to sort of follow up on my first question, Cam, like, 70 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,960 Speaker 1: have you guys have you consciously tried to test other teams, 71 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 1: you know, knowing that there are some guys that maybe 72 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 1: you know going through their first live special teams rep Um, 73 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 1: have you have you been willing to maybe push it 74 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 1: a little bit more in the return game, you know, 75 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 1: bringing kicks out and just seeing, okay, how well you know, 76 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 1: do these teams have things figured out right now? Is 77 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 1: that something that you've you've sort of played around with 78 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 1: through the first three weeks. I wouldn't say it's just 79 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 1: something specifically to the season. I think every week you 80 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 1: gotta look at what a team does well and what 81 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 1: a team you know, where you think you may can 82 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 1: attack them at um And I think that's what goes 83 00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 1: into each week and what you're gonna do whether you're 84 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 1: you know, you're bringing it from ten d whether you're 85 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 1: leaving it. I mean, I think a lot of different 86 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 1: things go into that. Hang time's factor into all that 87 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 1: things as well, So there's a lot of different factors. 88 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 1: Each week is different, but you think every week to 89 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 1: your point, you got to look at what they do 90 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 1: well and then where can you attack them that and 91 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 1: that's where you have to go, go after them, try 92 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 1: to you know, find them, make a play in the game. 93 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,279 Speaker 1: I don't send it back to Mike. Now, let that 94 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:24,840 Speaker 1: guy go to work. Yeah, you did a good job. 95 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:26,480 Speaker 1: You took him one on one Mike. Mike's going to 96 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 1: get him d M. I got it. No penalties, feel 97 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 1: no penalties, keeping it clean on special teams, I like it, Cam, 98 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:37,600 Speaker 1: I guess my last one. We've seen two I think 99 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 1: two guys JJ and Kyle back for kickoffs. I don't 100 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 1: think I'm missing anyone else, but I'm how do you 101 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,159 Speaker 1: feel about that? Like? Are used sort of feeling like 102 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 1: the rotation is what you like? Or do you think 103 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 1: ultimately you might settle on one. You know, I think 104 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 1: it's valuable experience for you know, you know, back to 105 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 1: young guys, you know, learning out there, getting reps you know, 106 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,119 Speaker 1: every day for those guys, and you know, just seeing 107 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 1: how they're progressing every day, whether it's in practice or 108 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 1: in the games, because they've both been back there and 109 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,920 Speaker 1: they can't you can't be alive experience and just seeing it, 110 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,040 Speaker 1: which guys keep working with both of them. You know, 111 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,599 Speaker 1: I can't say enough about Troy Brown, to be honest 112 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 1: with it. He's done a great job back there with 113 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,719 Speaker 1: those guys, you know, and having a guy back there 114 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 1: that's done it before and at a high level that 115 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,480 Speaker 1: goes without saying the experience. You know, you can always 116 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 1: talk to him and you're getting valued and the guys 117 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,599 Speaker 1: definitely take to him, you know, having a guy like 118 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:30,040 Speaker 1: that that exhaled at it. So they're learning every day 119 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:31,919 Speaker 1: and they're working hard to get better, and you know, 120 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 1: we'll just see, we'll take it week by week at 121 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 1: this point, and we'll see where it goes. It looks 122 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 1: like the last question me, Jim mcpride, I gotta throw 123 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 1: a flag on Mike Reeve because he stole my question. 124 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:49,479 Speaker 1: But I'm wondering with those guys back there, Jj and Tyle, 125 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 1: is is it situation specific or is it just an 126 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:56,600 Speaker 1: ongoing competition. Honestly, it's more of like a field thing. Um, 127 00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 1: you know, I know that's kind of like maybe a cassette. 128 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,560 Speaker 1: I don't know just how the games going. Um, you know, 129 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 1: maybe it's you know, how when it practiced. Maybe it's 130 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 1: just you know, gut feeling, you know, why are you 131 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,479 Speaker 1: putting one guy in out the other guy. I wouldn't 132 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,719 Speaker 1: say it's returns with specific or anything like that. It's 133 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 1: more just the flow of the game and where we're 134 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,160 Speaker 1: at that point and giving time. You know, obviously we 135 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,720 Speaker 1: feel um, you know, confident both guys. We would wouldn't 136 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 1: put them both back there. So I think that's a 137 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 1: good feeling right now going forward. I'll leave it open 138 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:29,799 Speaker 1: for one final question if anyone has a final question. 139 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,040 Speaker 1: I think we're good. Stacy Cam, thank you, thanks Make, 140 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:44,800 Speaker 1: thank you, thank you, guys. Thank you, y'all. Have a 141 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:45,720 Speaker 1: good day.
