1 00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:03,120 Speaker 1: Cam. How you doing all right? Mike? How are we 2 00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:05,720 Speaker 1: doing today? Doing well? To get away a little bit 3 00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:08,639 Speaker 1: this weekend? Were you able to? I took Saturday, so 4 00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:10,440 Speaker 1: it was nice. You know, we'll watched a much of 5 00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:13,080 Speaker 1: college football, so that was always good to finally get 6 00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:14,640 Speaker 1: to watch a little bit of that catchuple and not 7 00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:16,600 Speaker 1: a little bit, you know, there were some good games on. 8 00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:19,279 Speaker 1: So enjoying my Saturday, you know, and then we're back 9 00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:21,960 Speaker 1: to it, you know, looking forward to Arizona's weak there 10 00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:25,479 Speaker 1: you go. Um, I had two quick ones on. We 11 00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:30,160 Speaker 1: saw a Viscano kickoff the last game. I'm always curious 12 00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:33,080 Speaker 1: without knowing your guy's intentions, like if you're playing for 13 00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:35,600 Speaker 1: the pop like more of the pop up or playing 14 00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:39,280 Speaker 1: for the touchback. I think he had two. I'm looking 15 00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:42,560 Speaker 1: at it here, yea, and they started at their eighteen 16 00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:46,360 Speaker 1: yard line and they're twenty five both coverage on those 17 00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,600 Speaker 1: just from a coaching standpoint, was that the way you 18 00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:53,199 Speaker 1: like the kickoffs going there? Yeah? You know. You know, 19 00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:56,000 Speaker 1: obviously the cold in that game plays an element, you know, 20 00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:59,000 Speaker 1: the ball during cold. You know, that's what the unique 21 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,639 Speaker 1: thing about New England is when you get into these 22 00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:05,119 Speaker 1: later months, you know, you don't have the ability unless 23 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:08,040 Speaker 1: you have a very strong kicker like Tristian is to 24 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,119 Speaker 1: hit touchbacks. You know, it's very difficult, which is why 25 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,479 Speaker 1: your coverage unions have to be you know, very good 26 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 1: here because it's not a matter early in the year 27 00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:18,960 Speaker 1: of covering. It's you're going to have to cover later 28 00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 1: in the year because the cold's gonna factor, the wind's 29 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 1: gonna factor, the weather gonna factor here. So when you 30 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:25,839 Speaker 1: have to cover, you got to be able to cover now. 31 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,080 Speaker 1: Obviously with Tristian to being a strong lead guy being 32 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,240 Speaker 1: able to push the ball through those elements, through the 33 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,199 Speaker 1: wind that was in his face. Actually, both those kicks, 34 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,600 Speaker 1: the wind was actually you know, pushing to their sideline 35 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:38,920 Speaker 1: and it was more than what you could feel on 36 00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:40,920 Speaker 1: the ground. So like if you watch the guy's kick 37 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 1: when the ball got up top, the ball was actually 38 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,520 Speaker 1: pushing back down. That's why you didn't see a lot 39 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,200 Speaker 1: of long kicks um during the game the other night. So, 40 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 1: you know, his kickoff leg, his kickoff power allowed us 41 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:53,760 Speaker 1: right there to have good coverage, you know, and we 42 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 1: got what we were looking for. You know, he did 43 00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 1: a good job. You know, the hang times were a 44 00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 1: buff four oh, right, there, which allows your coverage to 45 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 1: be in side the thirty five most guys obviously you 46 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 1: have your match layers, your Britain schoolers, those guys, those 47 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 1: are the guys down and by the thirty twenty eight 48 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 1: yard line, was just you know, mix the coverage after, 49 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 1: you know, compress for us, we're compressing it and the 50 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:14,519 Speaker 1: return team has to turn around and be able to 51 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:19,799 Speaker 1: react quicker and quick follow the weather that you're referencing. 52 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:21,920 Speaker 1: How much do you think that was a factor on 53 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 1: Nick's kick that hit the crossbar there or was that 54 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,920 Speaker 1: more of like a form you know, you know, it 55 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 1: was definitely the the cold weather definitely was a factor. 56 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:32,839 Speaker 1: You know, you when you when you're hitting the ball 57 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 1: in the cold weather, you have to hit it completely, flush, 58 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,800 Speaker 1: con clickly clean, because if you don't, the ball's not 59 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,000 Speaker 1: gonna cut the cold, it's not gonna cut the moisture 60 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,359 Speaker 1: the wind that was in the air. So you know, 61 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 1: it goes back to just contact, you know, making sure 62 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 1: you're having a good clean contact because the weather and 63 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:48,959 Speaker 1: the cold is going to push the ball down. So 64 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 1: a ball that you know right there, Nick normally hits, 65 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 1: you know, ten out of ten times from that distance 66 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 1: you know, you know the cold's gonna push it down. 67 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 1: You know it's gonna make it effective where it doesn't 68 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,520 Speaker 1: have as much you know distance on that kick. Can 69 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 1: he do anything different Cam on that? No? I mean, 70 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 1: you know Nick's solid, Nick goes out, there's mechanics are 71 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 1: the same and everything. The one thing you can try 72 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 1: to do is if you do you know, once you 73 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 1: get too longer distances fifty plus call it, that, you 74 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,920 Speaker 1: can start trying to drive the ball. But that leads 75 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 1: to lower kicks, which is why you see a lot 76 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 1: of guys get kicks blocked over the middle. So you 77 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 1: have to be conscious of you know, there's a fine 78 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 1: balance of do I want to drive the ball and 79 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 1: you know Buffalo had already blocked one through the middle, 80 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:29,360 Speaker 1: so you know you don't want to drive it too 81 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 1: much because you gotta keep their hands down at the 82 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,640 Speaker 1: point of attack. Or do you get too much height 83 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 1: on the ball. You know, when you're undercutting and now 84 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:39,080 Speaker 1: the winds definitely pushing it back because you've got too 85 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 1: much height on it. So you got to try to 86 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 1: find that right balance of trying to you know, whether 87 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 1: you have to drive it and risk it being blocked 88 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 1: or get enough lift on it. No one I can 89 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 1: cut the wind or no. Thanks Mike appreciate that next question, 90 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 1: but Stacy, thanks, good morning, Cam morning you're doing I'm 91 00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 1: doing well. Thanks and hopefully yeah you're up a good Weekum. 92 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 1: That related to that question, just to follow up on 93 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 1: the spot itself, and you know how well a kicker 94 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 1: makes contact. How much of a difference there's even you know, 95 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 1: an inch or or a few inches in terms of 96 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:19,039 Speaker 1: where the ball is placed in relationship to where his 97 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 1: stance and his approach begins. No, it makes a big difference. 98 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 1: An inch is a lot um, you know. You know, 99 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 1: if you're if you're talking an inch right here and 100 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 1: making contact, that's about all they have to hit the 101 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 1: sweet spot on a football. So when you're off an 102 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 1: inch now you're talking about I'm going to wrap the 103 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,040 Speaker 1: ball or wrap around the ball with my foot if 104 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,920 Speaker 1: it's too far inside, if it's too far in front, 105 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 1: like an inch, now I'm undercutting the ball. So you know, 106 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 1: the spot on a football, when you're actually going back 107 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,839 Speaker 1: to the holding mechanics of it, is very important, you know, 108 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,040 Speaker 1: And that's why you know Mike does a good job, 109 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,160 Speaker 1: Jake a good job. You know prior to that, and 110 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:53,720 Speaker 1: that's why we worked out of practice. You know, we 111 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:55,680 Speaker 1: do those drills at practice and we try to get 112 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,240 Speaker 1: as many holding reps off to the size we can. 113 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 1: You know, Joe doesn't that necessarily to be snapping, but 114 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 1: we can toss Michael ball or we can toss you know, 115 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:05,840 Speaker 1: Jacob that earlier in the year of ball and he's 116 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:07,920 Speaker 1: let him put it down, you know. And then now 117 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,040 Speaker 1: you're dealing with you know, Nick's leans we've talked about 118 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 1: in the past. You know, how much do I want 119 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 1: to lean into it, you know, lean back to and 120 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 1: leaning back forward based off the weather and the wind, 121 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 1: and we can work those in a stimulated environment, you know, 122 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 1: as much as we can off to the side here 123 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 1: in practice. Well, someone answered the question regarding Mike and 124 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 1: making the adjustment to a new holder. How has he 125 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 1: performed in your mind in the various aspects of his job, hunting, holding, etc. No, 126 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 1: Mike's doing a great job for us. Mike came in, Um, 127 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 1: you know, he's been really good to work with.

You know, 130 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 1: he's been able to see it from a whole environment 131 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 1: of each situation. You know, I'm very similar to what 132 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 1: Nick is, UM, but in the punny position of understanding 133 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,839 Speaker 1: the situations when you're going out there actually able to 134 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 1: have that dialogue with him off on the side about Hey, 135 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 1: this is what we do in this situation. And you know, 136 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,919 Speaker 1: he's getting more and more comfortable. You can tell each week, like, hey, 137 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,480 Speaker 1: in this situation, what do you think about this?

You know, he's going out there, he's punting 140 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 1: with good location. UM, he's able to you know, allow 141 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 1: us give the balls to cover right there with our 142 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,480 Speaker 1: covers units with you know, which allows Matt and Schools 143 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,279 Speaker 1: and those guys to be effective getting down when you 144 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,279 Speaker 1: know where the ball is going to go, m Via, 145 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 1: you know, compress the Returnernal Cardona made a great play 146 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 1: the other day as well, So you know he's giving 147 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:31,479 Speaker 1: us good balls to cover, UM as far as the 148 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:35,040 Speaker 1: punny and he's having the holding responsibilities very well.

I wanted to ask you, but Marcus Jones. 151 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,719 Speaker 1: Uh yeah. He starts the game by taking the first 152 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:50,239 Speaker 1: kickoff return, starts on defense, obviously, plays on offense, makes 153 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 1: a special team to tackle sum How impressed the are 154 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 1: you with the rookie? And how much of you know 155 00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 1: all all of that, you know, the four phases? Is 156 00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 1: that the credits of his work ethic but also conditioning. No, 157 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 1: it's not easy to play, you know, all phases like hey, no, no, no, Marcus. 158 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:09,160 Speaker 1: You know, obviously didn't get a great spring start. You know, 159 00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 1: he was a slow start there, and then he slowly 160 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,360 Speaker 1: got ramped up in training camps. You know, so when 161 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 1: you when you've got a guy that with his ability 162 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 1: athletically that can do multiple things, whether that's in the 163 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 1: kicking game, offensively or defensively, you know you want to 164 00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 1: slowly bring him along. You know, you don't want to 165 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 1: throw the kitchen sink at him in week one, you know, 166 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:29,680 Speaker 1: and everything like that, and that's kind of what led 167 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 1: to his slowly process rest as a returner. You know, 168 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:34,480 Speaker 1: we didn't put him out there a week run. You know, 169 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 1: you don't want ever set a guy back, you know, 170 00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 1: work with that progress, and that goes to his credit 171 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 1: to your point of every day, working to get better 172 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 1: his work ethic, you know, showing up every day and 173 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 1: continue to get better and improved. You know, that's the 174 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 1: main thing is if you look at every day, if 175 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 1: you stay the same, you know you didn't do your 176 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:53,679 Speaker 1: job every day. You want to get better and Marcus 177 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 1: has done that continue to get better, which is why 178 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,600 Speaker 1: you know he's getting more responsibility. The more you show 179 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 1: you can handle on a given day, the more we 180 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:02,880 Speaker 1: give you as coaches. You know, we'll try to put 181 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 1: more on your plate. You know, we never try to 182 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 1: overload you. We don't want to put too much on 183 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 1: any given players plate in a given game. But the 184 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 1: more you can handle, then hey, may all right, let's 185 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 1: give him one more thing. This will be maybe with 186 00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 1: one more thing the next week. But you never want 187 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,440 Speaker 1: to put too much, you know. But Marcus does a 188 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 1: great job with the conditioning. You know, he runs. We 189 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,120 Speaker 1: always talking about it. Make sure you're scoring whatever time 190 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 1: you get the ball. So he's one of the guys 191 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 1: I'm sure yards wise that would be up there at 192 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,040 Speaker 1: practice for us. But anytime you got a guy that 193 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:34,319 Speaker 1: scores on a on a offensive play comes to the 194 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 1: huddle AND's like, no, I'm going to cover the kickoff 195 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 1: as well. You know that those are the guys you're 196 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:40,839 Speaker 1: pulling for because they want to be in the huddle, 197 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:42,720 Speaker 1: they want to compete, they want to be out there, 198 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 1: and like you said, definitely does a great job for 199 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 1: Moses and Drawn. You know, those guys in the weight 200 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 1: room that get those guys in shape which allow him 201 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,599 Speaker 1: to cover and play offense and play defense in the 202 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,080 Speaker 1: kicking game, which is a unique thing for any guy 203 00:08:55,080 --> 00:09:01,319 Speaker 1: to do. Awesome. Thank you, thanks more. Next question Chris, right, hey, Ken, 204 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 1: how are you you're Chris? How are we doing awesome? 205 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 1: Just with the stadium construction, is there any consistent way 206 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 1: that you're seeing that the wind is playing there or 207 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,200 Speaker 1: is it pretty much you judge it on a case 208 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:17,000 Speaker 1: by case basis. Yeah, no, it's case by case. I 209 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 1: would say, you know, of the last three home games, 210 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 1: just because that's you know, relatively in my brain, the 211 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:25,960 Speaker 1: last three, two of the three have been similar, you know, 212 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 1: kind of pushing the ball a little bit to their sideline. 213 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:30,719 Speaker 1: The other one is a little bit more great down 214 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,320 Speaker 1: the field and to our sideline coming from the opposite way. 215 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 1: So you know, when you look at it, you got 216 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:36,920 Speaker 1: to go out there on game day and really get 217 00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,880 Speaker 1: a feel for it. It'll be interesting to see once 218 00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 1: the construction is done, how much the wind is a 219 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 1: factor coming through that way, when it does push you know, 220 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,559 Speaker 1: from the new school board area, or when it's pushing 221 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,080 Speaker 1: the other way. So I think each game, you know, 222 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,080 Speaker 1: the next three home games here we have down the 223 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,680 Speaker 1: stretch or two games, you know, that'll be interesting to 224 00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 1: see what the wind does. And then next season is 225 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 1: going to be a totally different aspect of what it's 226 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:02,959 Speaker 1: going to be like once we get there. But it's 227 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 1: definitely changed this season. You know, each week has been different. 228 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 1: It's been some less, some more, and they have actually 229 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,240 Speaker 1: been different the way they're pushing to their siline or 230 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:16,600 Speaker 1: our siline. And just obviously have two real games coming 231 00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:20,440 Speaker 1: up here. But what role does temperature play, you know 232 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:22,720 Speaker 1: in the kicking game you mentioned a little bit earlier, 233 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:24,880 Speaker 1: But what role does temperature play as you get into 234 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 1: the colder games. No, it plays a significant role even 235 00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:31,679 Speaker 1: if there's no wind. If anytime once you get into 236 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,560 Speaker 1: the thirties, call it um let's use it as a landmark. 237 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:38,000 Speaker 1: But anytime you get into that thirty degree area thirty 238 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 1: eight or less call it. The ball is not going 239 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:43,559 Speaker 1: to travel. You're gonna have to make very good, clean 240 00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:46,920 Speaker 1: contact on the ball to push it through the cold 241 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,600 Speaker 1: in the air. You're gonna feel the humidity in the 242 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,719 Speaker 1: air because it is so cold, and then if there 243 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,120 Speaker 1: is no wind, it's still not gonna travel. So a ball, 244 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,400 Speaker 1: let's just call that what you would normally hit five 245 00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 1: deepen ends on the kickoff, it's probably going to the goal, 246 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 1: and you're talking about five yards of travel. No more 247 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:04,840 Speaker 1: different than a field goal. If you're going out there 248 00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 1: and you're kicking fifty five yards, well now you're probably 249 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,800 Speaker 1: down to the fifty two fifty yard or on a 250 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:11,840 Speaker 1: field goal that you would normally kick. Once you get cold, 251 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,560 Speaker 1: and then as it decreases the balls, you're only going 252 00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,680 Speaker 1: to decrease in flight as well. So the temperature definitely 253 00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,000 Speaker 1: plays a factor here, especially once you get into the 254 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,839 Speaker 1: December and January games. So that's definitely something we've got 255 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:26,640 Speaker 1: to look forward, you know, moving forward as well. Thanks 256 00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:31,120 Speaker 1: Thanks Chris, and final question Andrew Callahan, Hey came, it's 257 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:34,320 Speaker 1: good to see you. You mentioned something about running yards 258 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 1: in practice. They kind of caught my attention. I mean, 259 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:41,160 Speaker 1: who were the guys that normally lead in that category. Honestly, 260 00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,320 Speaker 1: I don't know who leads in that category. I know 261 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:47,480 Speaker 1: that anytime you play the kicking game for us, you're 262 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:49,079 Speaker 1: gonna be one of the guys up there. So I'm 263 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:52,120 Speaker 1: sure Matthew Slayer's up there. I'm sure School is up there. 264 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 1: Because they're covering in different days. You know, when you're 265 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:56,839 Speaker 1: a gunner, obviously, in you're covering on punt days, those 266 00:11:56,840 --> 00:12:00,160 Speaker 1: guys are gonna be running the sixty yards prints, you know, 267 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 1: and we try to get multiple reps at that down 268 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,079 Speaker 1: the field. And then you know, obviously the receivers in 269 00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,959 Speaker 1: the DBS. You know, I would say those position groups 270 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 1: in general will be the highest groups. And then those 271 00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:13,120 Speaker 1: guys that play offense and defense in those positions and 272 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 1: then playing the kicking game as well, those are gonna 273 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:18,440 Speaker 1: be your top ranked guys. You know, similar to a game, 274 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:20,680 Speaker 1: you know, like Marcus, like we talked about earlier, scores 275 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,120 Speaker 1: on offense, the turnarounds, it covers a kickoff, you know, 276 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:25,520 Speaker 1: that's back to back, you know, sixty plus plays that 277 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:28,240 Speaker 1: he just ran right there. So those are the position 278 00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:31,520 Speaker 1: groups that usually have the higher yardage total um. I'd 279 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:33,679 Speaker 1: have to let Moses and you know those guys speak 280 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 1: to actually what it officially is. I don't really ever 281 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 1: look at that. They keep chart of that, you know, 282 00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:40,480 Speaker 1: and if a guy needs to be you know, needs 283 00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:42,920 Speaker 1: more or less, I'm sure they had all out of practice. 284 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,199 Speaker 1: But I would say the receivers in the DBS are 285 00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:48,080 Speaker 1: the position groups that run the most. And let's say, 286 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,360 Speaker 1: you know, you have guys who run maybe a typically 287 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,520 Speaker 1: high number of yards in practice or might be depleted 288 00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 1: a little bit according to those numbers or those conversations 289 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,760 Speaker 1: that you have with Moses and Ron or is it 290 00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:01,600 Speaker 1: something that comes down from Bill like it seems like, 291 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:04,319 Speaker 1: you know, at least offensively defensively. There have been a 292 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,400 Speaker 1: lot more rotations this year, and I know you're playing 293 00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:08,439 Speaker 1: a long game at seventeen games this season the way 294 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:10,240 Speaker 1: the last couple of seasons have ended. For you guys 295 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:13,080 Speaker 1: to kind of stay we're energetic or those conversations you 296 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,319 Speaker 1: have with them, or how does that work? No coach 297 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 1: channels all that. I script the practice and the players 298 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:21,439 Speaker 1: and if someone needs less or more, coach will handle 299 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,679 Speaker 1: that stuff. My philosophy is we only get so many 300 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:28,559 Speaker 1: reps at the kicking game in practice. So the guys 301 00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:30,480 Speaker 1: that we need to see out there, we're gonna put 302 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:32,680 Speaker 1: them out there, you know, and less coach says, hey, 303 00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 1: get this guy out for this rep or something like that, 304 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:37,520 Speaker 1: We're gonna put the guys out there because you know, 305 00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:39,680 Speaker 1: at a given practice, we're talking four to five plays 306 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:41,480 Speaker 1: in the kicking games what we're getting in for each phase. 307 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,680 Speaker 1: So we're not getting tons of reps. You know, at 308 00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:47,440 Speaker 1: those coverages, you know, we're gonna cover three to four kickoffs, 309 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:50,280 Speaker 1: three four careof returns, whatever it may be. So those 310 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:52,120 Speaker 1: guys that are actually out there on game day or 311 00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:54,319 Speaker 1: the guys are gonna need those reps. So if someone 312 00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 1: doesn't need a break, you know, I'll let coach hannel 313 00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,400 Speaker 1: that and we'll pull them out and southern the next 314 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:01,199 Speaker 1: guy that needs to go. But o script, the guys 315 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 1: that I need to be out there, we're going to 316 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:06,440 Speaker 1: put them out there for sure. Well, Thanks Kim, thanks Andrew, 317 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:09,280 Speaker 1: all right, thank you very much, Kim. We appreciate you 318 00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:11,000 Speaker 1: joining us today. Thank you all
