Helps. I'm let them 27 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:31,480 Speaker 1: do them, but we're gonna do us. I ain't gonna 28 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:34,600 Speaker 1: worry about what they do. My primary focus is our 29 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:38,080 Speaker 1: guys are battery and take care of that. Yeah, I'm 30 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 1: not gonna worry about that. When they're reaching his problems, 31 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 1: you know, and get direction in your head. You say 32 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:49,920 Speaker 1: you don't circle back to him or do you not 33 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:53,320 Speaker 1: know that? You never know? You know. I always tell 34 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 1: him that, you know, And I told him that's like, 35 00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 1: we're gonna come back to you at some point in time, 36 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 1: so you just gotta be ready. And and he has been. 37 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 1: He's done a nice job making good decisions down there 38 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 1: fielding the ball, and uh, you know, he's he's done. 39 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,079 Speaker 1: He's done a really good job being renally tough down 40 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:11,960 Speaker 1: the stretcher. I mean he's he's yeah, yeah, you know 41 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:17,120 Speaker 1: with us, he is with he's he's a competitor, you know, 42 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 1: and he wants to he wants to do well. You know, 43 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,120 Speaker 1: these guys got professional pride you know, they don't want 44 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,359 Speaker 1: to go out and fail like anybody else their line 45 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,959 Speaker 1: of work, right, so when when they make mistakes, they're 46 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 1: chomping at the bit to go back and try and 47 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:32,520 Speaker 1: correct the mistakes. And now you pay attention closely around 48 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:33,960 Speaker 1: the league. I'm wondering, what do you think when you 49 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 1: see Brett Mohair on Monday night? You know that that 50 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 1: that situation and you you feel for a guy, you 51 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 1: know going through stuff like that. Uh, but you know 52 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 1: that's that's life in NFL. We all have our situations. 53 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 1: We all got to go through. Uh. You know, kickers, punters, 54 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,919 Speaker 1: quarterbacks like stuff like that happens. You know, you got 55 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 1: some some guys ball security issues, fumbling, running back. So 56 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 1: that's this league is made. It's made up of guys 57 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,280 Speaker 1: that that are tough minded guys and that I got 58 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 1: to work through situations like that because we're all at 59 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,239 Speaker 1: some point time coaches and players don't come across something 60 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,240 Speaker 1: like that. We gotta work through. So you know, you 61 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,359 Speaker 1: wish him the best, and you know, you hate to 62 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 1: see anybody go through any stuff like that, like any 63 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:21,839 Speaker 1: of the yips. You know, handle it like if you're 64 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,920 Speaker 1: you had a kicker, who was struggling like that during 65 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 1: a game. Are you of the belief, hey, let's just 66 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,639 Speaker 1: scraping for today. We'll go back word about it during 67 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,640 Speaker 1: the week, or or you to believe hey, keep putting 68 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 1: them out there for opportunities to try and get it right. Yeah. 69 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 1: I mean, for me, I would think that you just 70 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 1: that guy has made a thousand extra points in his career, 71 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 1: you know, and sometimes you just go through those situations 72 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 1: and you just gotta work through it, getting the net 73 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 1: figure out, you know, what you're doing, and calm yourself down. 74 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 1: More than anything, You've got to calm your brain down, 75 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 1: because if you miss four extra points, you know you've 76 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 1: done it your whole you know. So there's something there 77 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 1: mentally that you're that you're not doing correctly, and you 78 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 1: guys gotta work through it, and sometimes you gotta go 79 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 1: sit down and you might have to go for two, 80 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 1: you know. But uh yeah, you hate seeingbody have to 81 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:22,599 Speaker 1: go through it. Years. It was awesome, you know, anytime 82 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 1: you can win the playoff game is awesome. So it 83 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 1: was a fun experience for me. It was more for 84 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 1: the guys, you know, seeing guys like saying in DJ 85 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 1: and Dex, you know, go through the things that they 86 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 1: went through, you know as young players coming up x 87 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,279 Speaker 1: uh and then to be able to experience a playoff 88 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:43,159 Speaker 1: victory is really fun to watch them celebrate and enjoy 89 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 1: it return. Yeah, he's not he's not small. He's just short. 90 00:04:54,480 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 1: He's a strong runner, right, really good contact balance. You know, 91 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 1: you watch him, you hit him, and he just hits 92 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 1: the ground, spins around, puts his hand on the ground 93 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 1: because he's loaded the ground already, and he can run. 94 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 1: You know, he runs physical. He has really good short 95 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,480 Speaker 1: airy quickness and uh you know, a lot of times 96 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,720 Speaker 1: because he's shorter, you know, he's behind the players and 97 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 1: all of a sudden he just darts out and he 98 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 1: comes up on you pretty quick. So you know, he's 99 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 1: a he's a pain to deal with, you know, so 100 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,280 Speaker 1: we just gotta do a good job of just leveraging 101 00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 1: the ball, keeping him inside in front, and get him 102 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:32,480 Speaker 1: on the ground. You've been around here for a while, 103 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:38,359 Speaker 1: you see what he's done. Yeah, you know, it is 104 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:42,680 Speaker 1: what it is. I mean, it's that happens in sports sometimes. Uh. 105 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:44,960 Speaker 1: But he's a really good football player. He's a really 106 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 1: good football player, and he's done it. He's done a 107 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,279 Speaker 1: good job over against us over you you have plenty 108 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 1: of familiarity in that building down there. Do you go in? 109 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 1: I mean obviously you prepare the same way when you 110 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 1: get out there pre games, stuff like my game little 111 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,920 Speaker 1: January and whether it's not gonna be too too bad. 112 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,160 Speaker 1: But how do you guys approach that? Do you mean 113 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:11,120 Speaker 1: on the experience? Yeah, just like every other game. You know, 114 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,120 Speaker 1: we got a veteran kicker and um, you know, he 115 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 1: gets out there and we'll survey the same to win 116 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:21,479 Speaker 1: and all that stuff, and he'll go through his normal 117 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 1: routine like he does, and we'll just talk about the 118 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,920 Speaker 1: lines and which way we're going, and you know, how 119 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,240 Speaker 1: we want to kick in a certain direction or not 120 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:31,839 Speaker 1: want to kick in a certain direction, or what direction 121 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 1: we want to kick. We'll go through all that whole process. 122 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:38,360 Speaker 1: So that's the same stuff we do different other return 123 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 1: of Kobe was like really like all American or something. 124 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,360 Speaker 1: In college? Did you get how good was he? And 125 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 1: there's somebody that you had any interest in bringing here? 126 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:50,080 Speaker 1: You know, I watched him, we we evaluate him in college. 127 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,360 Speaker 1: You know, he same thing he did in college, the 128 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 1: same thing you're doing, you know, So he's a heart 129 00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 1: straight fast guy. He's very tough. Uh, you know, we 130 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 1: come demolition man. You know, he's just he's real tough. 131 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:06,479 Speaker 1: And he's hard to get on the ground. To be 132 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,600 Speaker 1: as as small as he is, he's hard to get 133 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 1: on the ground. He's slippering. Uh. But he's he's a 134 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 1: really good young player. And his I think it's his 135 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 1: grandfather write some really good books. You know that that 136 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 1: that's you know, that's one of those deals. You know, 137 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,240 Speaker 1: he has no control of it. We have no control 138 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:36,200 Speaker 1: over it. Just make our kicks and whatever happens happens. Um. 139 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 1: But you know, I feel a certain way about Graham. 140 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 1: He's done a great job over the years. And uh, 141 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 1: you know, his numbers speak for themselves. You go back 142 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 1: and you look at his numbers over the last four 143 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:49,160 Speaker 1: or five years. They speak for themselves.
