It 23 00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:03,840 Speaker 5: looks kind of funky at first, you know, we're so 24 00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,759 Speaker 5: accustomed to the kickoff team all being at the thirty 25 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:09,000 Speaker 5: five yard line, the return team all being lined up, 26 00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:11,520 Speaker 5: you know, on the other side of the field. So 27 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:13,240 Speaker 5: for me to just be out there on the thirty 28 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:16,120 Speaker 5: five yard line, you know, all the kickers being on 29 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,880 Speaker 5: the thirty five yard line by yourself, it's definitely kind 30 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 5: of like an awkward feeling at first, Like I totally 31 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:25,039 Speaker 5: feel just isolated because I am, But that's just that's 32 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:28,679 Speaker 5: just you know, one of the small adjustments that we're making, 33 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:31,120 Speaker 5: you know, just getting out there and putting the ball 34 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:35,160 Speaker 5: in play and seeing across the league and and in 35 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 5: our own game how the play is going to develop. 36 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 5: Getting an idea for that last weekend I was definitely 37 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,399 Speaker 5: a good start. So we're excited to you know, excited 38 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 5: to see what we can do with more opportunities in 39 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:47,680 Speaker 5: the future. 40 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,320 Speaker 6: Just do you feel challenged in a way to try 41 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 6: to come up with different ways to kind of land 42 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 6: in that landing someone? 43 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:56,960 Speaker 7: Does it all feel new to you after all these years? 44 00:01:57,840 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 2: You know, it does. 45 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 5: There's definitely a there's definitely some new kicks that we're developing. 46 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 5: I think when it's all said and done, going into 47 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,880 Speaker 5: the season, we'll probably have somewhere between eight and nine 48 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:15,240 Speaker 5: kind of kinds of kicks that we will carry with 49 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:19,639 Speaker 5: us and we're going to continue to develop, you know that, 50 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:24,640 Speaker 5: and then anything else that we can where we can 51 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:26,519 Speaker 5: feel like we can create an advantage for our team. 52 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 5: So the landing zone is, you know, it seems like 53 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:35,359 Speaker 5: a pretty large area. You know, that twenty yard by 54 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:40,360 Speaker 5: you know, fifty three and a third whatever that exact 55 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 5: number is. You know, it seems like a pretty large area. 56 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,400 Speaker 5: But just based on where you land the ball, you know, 57 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 5: you could have one that skips right or left and 58 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:50,400 Speaker 5: then all of a sudden it's out of bounds and 59 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 5: then the ball's being spotted at the forty. If you 60 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 5: land the ball at the twenty one as opposed to 61 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,640 Speaker 5: the nineteen, you could be looking at the starting field 62 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 5: position for your opponent being either the forty or you know, 63 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 5: maybe the twelve yard line depending on what the returners 64 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,959 Speaker 5: do with it. So, you know, for for it being 65 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,240 Speaker 5: a large area to land the ball in, you still 66 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 5: have to be pretty you know, pretty articulate, pretty detailed 67 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 5: with where you're where you're placing the ball. So that's 68 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 5: something that we're working on right now. Someone's been working 69 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:27,239 Speaker 5: on since the rule went into effect. You know, something 70 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 5: we're gonna continue working on. And I feel like when 71 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 5: we come into the regular season, I feel like right 72 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 5: now we're ready to go. But when, especially when we 73 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 5: come into the regular season, we're gonna have, just like 74 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 5: you know, I said before, a pitcher that develops this stuff, 75 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:40,200 Speaker 5: We're gonna have a lot of stuff ready to go. 76 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 8: As far as your personal responsibilities going to kickoff, mirroring 77 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 8: the return mme or whatever it is to do. 78 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 4: Honestly, how they change with the new yarntry. 79 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 5: I think what we're going to see is the kicker 80 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 5: is going to be involved as much as he wants 81 00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 5: to be involved, you know, and for for me and 82 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 5: for us like we we want to dominate on special teams. 83 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 5: We want to put our defense in the best position 84 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 5: to succeed. We want the offense. Uh, we want the 85 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 5: opposing offense to have as long a way to go 86 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 5: as possible. Uh, you know, and a part of that 87 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,600 Speaker 5: might mean the kicker getting involved from time to time. 88 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:21,599 Speaker 5: You know. I think there's, uh, there's definitely opportunities across 89 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 5: the board to make plays on special teams. As a kicker, 90 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 5: my responsibility is still pretty much the same as it 91 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:31,599 Speaker 5: has been prior to the rule change where I mirror that, 92 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:35,839 Speaker 5: like you said, I will mirror the returner, but you 93 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,040 Speaker 5: never know, like I might make one or two tackles 94 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:39,920 Speaker 5: and then I'm gonna have to, like, you know, be 95 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 5: two gaping dudes and you know, running through blocks and 96 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,600 Speaker 5: all that kind of stuff. So I'm ready to go. 97 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 5: My diet's the exact same. I thank you, guys. Uh, 98 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 5: I couldn't have been less serious when I said in 99 00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,120 Speaker 5: I think it was May or June that I had 100 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:03,600 Speaker 5: put on exactly three point eight pounds. And I don't 101 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 5: I don't I think Scott Elliott and the guys in 102 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:09,160 Speaker 5: the guys and girls in the weight room would. I 103 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:12,599 Speaker 5: would probably corroborate that I have not been in there 104 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,919 Speaker 5: anymore or any less been consistent. 105 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 2: But I feel good. 106 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 5: I feel I feel good and prepared and ready to 107 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 5: uh step the contact when necessary every sin. I think 108 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 5: as soon as any player in any sport starts thinking 109 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 5: that they're really sweet, that you know, as the as 110 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 5: the old adage goes, pride comes before the fall. I 111 00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 5: think what we do on a day to day basis 112 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 5: is we come out here and we try to make 113 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,920 Speaker 5: one kick at a time. We try to do our 114 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,039 Speaker 5: best with each rep that we get on field, three 115 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 5: by ourselves or in team in team periods. It's just 116 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 5: about making the next kick and continuing to just be 117 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,839 Speaker 5: consistent more than anything, I think, And you know, I 118 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,599 Speaker 5: go back to you know what you said just just 119 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 5: a minute ago. You know, when when somebody is considered 120 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 5: at the top or at the pinnacle of their craft, 121 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 5: the ones that are able to sustain that level of 122 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:35,040 Speaker 5: heightened success never talk about themselves, you know, Like I 123 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 5: really try to make it a point, like I might 124 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 5: joke about it with my teammates sometimes, but I really 125 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 5: do believe fully that I haven't done any of this, 126 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 5: you know, in the last twelve years by myself. I've 127 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 5: had excellent teammates. I've had excellent coaching. You know. As 128 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 5: much as Randy and I joke that we might not 129 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 5: like each other all the time, I love I love 130 00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 5: Randy dearly, and he's he Jerry Rosberg, Chris Horton, TJ. Weiest, 131 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,159 Speaker 5: you know, like any any harves any and all the 132 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,360 Speaker 5: coaches that I've been I've been blessed to be around 133 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 5: have helped me and my teammates become the best football 134 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:15,920 Speaker 5: players that we can be. Sam Cook, Morgan Cox, Nick Moore, 135 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:20,600 Speaker 5: Jordan Stout, Tylerrott last year, all of those guys have 136 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 5: helped me become the best football player that I can be. 137 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 5: I think, if you, if you ask, I think I've 138 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 5: seen Tom Brady, you know, to talk about the undisputed 139 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 5: goat of our game. 140 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 2: He's he's been at. 141 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,480 Speaker 5: I remember seeing him ask about, like, you know, what 142 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 5: is it like to be the goat? What's it like 143 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 5: to be the best ever? And it struck me that 144 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 5: the first thing that he pointed to was everybody else 145 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 5: around him. He he talked about how he played with championship defenses, 146 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 5: he played with championship pass catchers, championship caliber lineman, keeping 147 00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 5: him healthy and keeping him safe so he could deliver 148 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:03,720 Speaker 5: the ball, championship coaching staff, developing himself and the players 149 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 5: around him. So that's a very long way of saying that, uh, 150 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 5: any level of success that I have, uh. 151 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,920 Speaker 2: You know I have experienced. It's sure. 152 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 5: I do take pride and putting in, putting in the 153 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 5: work every single day, but I'm around excellent people all 154 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:27,040 Speaker 5: the time day. 155 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:35,559 Speaker 2: So he called off, I just plan. 156 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,720 Speaker 5: On being ready to go and ready to put the 157 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:42,440 Speaker 5: ball through the uprights any place, anytime, whenever Harb sends 158 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:43,960 Speaker 5: me out there, it's for a reason. 159 00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,200 Speaker 2: It's come back with three points. I'm going to. 160 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 5: Go back to the kickoff, not to hit the ball 161 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,559 Speaker 5: as hard as possible and then actually takes something off 162 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:55,120 Speaker 5: the kick is there's no other time in your. 163 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,680 Speaker 2: Career that hit the ball less hard. Yeah, it is. 164 00:08:57,840 --> 00:08:59,960 Speaker 5: Uh, that's a really good that's a really good question, 165 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 5: a really good point. It's definitely, it's definitely been an 166 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:07,160 Speaker 5: adjustment I've I've kind of always said that as a kicker. 167 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,120 Speaker 5: You know a lot of times people compare kicking a 168 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 5: football to a golf swing. 169 00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 3: Uh. 170 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,920 Speaker 5: And the one caveat I would I would add is 171 00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 5: that I only use one club. I only use driver. 172 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,760 Speaker 5: A golfer's got to have, you know, he's got to 173 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 5: have a drive. He's got to have an approach shot, 174 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:25,560 Speaker 5: he's got to have like his bunker shots. He's got 175 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:26,760 Speaker 5: to be able to putt. You know, he's got to 176 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,040 Speaker 5: have the ability to do all of those things. And 177 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,199 Speaker 5: for the most part, you know, occasionally you have a 178 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:33,560 Speaker 5: special specialty kick like a squib kick or an on 179 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 5: side kick, but for the most part, it's one club. 180 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:36,560 Speaker 9: It's a driver. 181 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:37,839 Speaker 2: So now. 182 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,920 Speaker 5: I am opening up the bag and we've got a 183 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 5: lot more clubs. We have to have a lot more 184 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,439 Speaker 5: clubs to pick from. So it's not necessarily about taking 185 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:51,320 Speaker 5: anything off of the ball. It's about being deliberate with 186 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 5: where I play the ball. So instead of smashing every 187 00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,360 Speaker 5: single ball like as hard as I can, I just 188 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,920 Speaker 5: have to mentally lock in to the same degree, but 189 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 5: place the ball with just that much more intention. 190 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:19,599 Speaker 1: We also heard from punter Jordan Stout we've seen in 191 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,200 Speaker 1: the last few days from play in the game. 192 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 4: And I guess he's great practice. Different about you know, 193 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 4: just spending more time this offseason. 194 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 8: Actually, you know, I'm in the process of experimenting with 195 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,440 Speaker 8: how to become the best punter I can. And this 196 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,000 Speaker 8: offseason I went and I did speed training for two 197 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,160 Speaker 8: and a half months. Just I want to be able 198 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 8: to hit those really high punts but not have to 199 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 8: try hard, you know, And that sounds a little arrogant 200 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 8: or whatever, but like, I'm just trying to be the 201 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:49,240 Speaker 8: best I can each day. 202 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:54,240 Speaker 7: Brandy call can be best further in the NFL, right can? 203 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:58,720 Speaker 2: What does that feel? 204 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:00,079 Speaker 4: That way? 205 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 8: You know, it means a lot because like that, that's 206 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,959 Speaker 8: high praise coming from from Randy. And you know, I 207 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 8: couldn't do it without Justin. I couldn't do without Randy, 208 00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:09,520 Speaker 8: could have done it without Sam Cook. Can't do it 209 00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,080 Speaker 8: without Nick. It's like without those guys, it's not possible. 210 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:14,319 Speaker 8: Justin holding me to a high standard. Nick snapping the 211 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,559 Speaker 8: ball twelve o'clock laces over the spot so I can 212 00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,199 Speaker 8: put it down fast. You know, it's something that we 213 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,600 Speaker 8: take great pride in and and Sam Cook is the 214 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:23,680 Speaker 8: best holder of all time and learning from him has 215 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:24,280 Speaker 8: been great. 216 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 4: And what resulted in. 217 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:33,439 Speaker 8: It, like, oh god, I could talk about it all day. 218 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,280 Speaker 8: You know, it looks like I'm just putting the ball down, 219 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:38,360 Speaker 8: but you know so essentially Justin wants the ball to 220 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 8: be put down essentially on like the size of a 221 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 8: piece of rice. It needs to be perfect every time. 222 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 8: And you know that's why he's great. He's a he's 223 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 8: a system guy. 224 00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 4: There's that. You know. 225 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,320 Speaker 8: He likes the ball to be down really fast. So 226 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:53,679 Speaker 8: starting my rookie year, they've been telling me, and they 227 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:55,559 Speaker 8: still tell me, get the ball down faster, get the 228 00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,200 Speaker 8: ball down faster. Sam sometimes says, hey man, good job 229 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 8: taking your time on that one, so so we have 230 00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:03,120 Speaker 8: some fun with it, but it's just like it really 231 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,640 Speaker 8: is an everyday thing. It's it's it's it's never good 232 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:07,120 Speaker 8: enough and it never will be good enough. And I 233 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:08,400 Speaker 8: think that's why we're so great at it. 234 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:15,600 Speaker 6: Yesterday saying the conversation. 235 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,960 Speaker 10: And what do you try to learn from challenge? 236 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:22,319 Speaker 8: Yeah, we we talked a lot about our routine and 237 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,240 Speaker 8: and how we went about our days. I was really 238 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,320 Speaker 8: shocked to hear that on on a game day for them, 239 00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 8: that they have. 240 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:27,760 Speaker 4: Almost every day. 241 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,520 Speaker 8: It's it's very routine that he he goes and he 242 00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 8: hits in the cage for an hour and then he 243 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:34,520 Speaker 8: stretches for an hour. I'm just making that up, but 244 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,720 Speaker 8: he every second of the day. He's doing something on 245 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,400 Speaker 8: game days and I just like, how's that mentally on you? 246 00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 8: He's like, you know, it's tough, but like that's what 247 00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,840 Speaker 8: it takes. And I think that's why he's so great. Jordan, 248 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,760 Speaker 8: do you feel like you've been more consistent out here 249 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:50,240 Speaker 8: of practice in year three? You know, gaining consistencies the 250 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,360 Speaker 8: name of the game for fun, right, you feel like 251 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:53,800 Speaker 8: you've been more consistent and what's. 252 00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 4: Leading to that? 253 00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:56,600 Speaker 8: Yeah, I feel like this is the most consistent I've 254 00:12:56,600 --> 00:13:00,160 Speaker 8: ever been. You know, this is my job, and I 255 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 8: treat it like that. You know, I go to bed 256 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:03,760 Speaker 8: at night and I'm thinking about punning. I wake up 257 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:05,800 Speaker 8: in the morning and I'm thinking about punning. Like Harp 258 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:07,160 Speaker 8: says it all the time. It's like, if you're not 259 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:10,120 Speaker 8: thinking about football, what are you thinking about? So like 260 00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:13,240 Speaker 8: all day every day, I'm thinking of how I can 261 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:16,520 Speaker 8: get better, and I think that that's the result and 262 00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:17,760 Speaker 8: why I'm doing so much better. 263 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,199 Speaker 9: You do think so Justine. 264 00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,160 Speaker 10: Thinks you better with it than. 265 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:28,160 Speaker 6: Like having the operation doesn't work with how job right now? 266 00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:28,520 Speaker 5: Then? 267 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,880 Speaker 8: And how has Yeah, you know he's He's the grace 268 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:32,400 Speaker 8: of all time. 269 00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,080 Speaker 4: And just just watching him each and every day. 270 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:38,719 Speaker 8: How how talking about like Gunnar about talking about how 271 00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:41,680 Speaker 8: Justin has his routine and how he follows the same 272 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:45,960 Speaker 8: thing every single day to a tee, never straying away 273 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:49,640 Speaker 8: from from what makes him great. I'd say that it's 274 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:53,000 Speaker 8: great just learning from him every day and he's the best. 275 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:57,040 Speaker 3: Jordan you got drafted to replace Sam Cook, longtime team punter, 276 00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:58,880 Speaker 3: kind of a team legend, and then he ends up 277 00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:00,480 Speaker 3: being your coach as well. Can you talk to us 278 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:02,720 Speaker 3: about your relationship with him and kind of what he's 279 00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:03,600 Speaker 3: brought to your game. 280 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:05,760 Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, I really do look at Sam like 281 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:10,319 Speaker 8: a big brother. Anytime I'm struggling or having a good day, 282 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:12,600 Speaker 8: having an okay day, he has advice to give me. 283 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,000 Speaker 8: You know, I go back and watch his tape and 284 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:19,880 Speaker 8: just just somewhat try to replicate what he does in 285 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:21,880 Speaker 8: terms of consistency and ball placement. 286 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 4: He really is, He's he was one of the best, 287 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 4: and learning from him every day is great. 288 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 3: Is there anything specific in your punting that like he. 289 00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:32,200 Speaker 4: And he have really worked on. Yeah, a still ball. 290 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:34,720 Speaker 4: You know, once I dropped the ball. 291 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:37,960 Speaker 8: In years past, my ball had a tendency of moving 292 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:39,680 Speaker 8: in the air, and you know, sometimes that's inevitable. It's 293 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:42,320 Speaker 8: gonna be when it's gonna be rainy, things are gonna happen. 294 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,440 Speaker 8: But just trying to just reduce all variables, like I 295 00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:47,440 Speaker 8: want it to be as easy as possible. Three things 296 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,440 Speaker 8: that I do is I try to walk when I punt, 297 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:52,240 Speaker 8: because I walk all day every day. I try to 298 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:54,240 Speaker 8: hold the ball like I'm shaking a hand because I 299 00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:55,080 Speaker 8: shake hands all day. 300 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:56,400 Speaker 4: And then just. 301 00:14:57,920 --> 00:14:59,760 Speaker 8: Trying to like have a have a controlled tempo and 302 00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:01,680 Speaker 8: just keeping that the same every time. And those are 303 00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:04,120 Speaker 8: all things Sam taught me. Just having all three of 304 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:07,360 Speaker 8: those things the same every time lead to success for sure. 305 00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:10,040 Speaker 11: He was saying that it's a conversation when said a 306 00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:12,960 Speaker 11: kicking into your rubber tourist. Since you get a college 307 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,840 Speaker 11: you sassinate, think about is that all your success only 308 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:17,480 Speaker 11: you're just waking about They give me the way on. 309 00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:19,000 Speaker 4: You know, I've come to terms with it. 310 00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:22,080 Speaker 8: I'm not a field goal kicker anymore and I'm gonna 311 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:26,840 Speaker 8: let Justin handle it. Ah, but you know, my job 312 00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:29,160 Speaker 8: is to be ready if something happens God forbid. But 313 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:32,440 Speaker 8: you know I'll be ready if something happens to Justin. 314 00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:34,440 Speaker 8: And then that's when you all do see me like 315 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:36,160 Speaker 8: once or twice a year out there kicking field goals 316 00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:36,720 Speaker 8: or kickoffs. 317 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 4: That that's what it's for. 318 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:40,320 Speaker 2: Jordan I said, he's had two and a half months 319 00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:42,560 Speaker 2: speed training. Just what does that kind of look like. 320 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:48,200 Speaker 8: I'm not gonna get too technical with it, but essentially it's, uh, 321 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:50,280 Speaker 8: four days a week, I'll wake up in the morning. 322 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:51,960 Speaker 8: So I did it in Fort Lotteral actually, which is 323 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,440 Speaker 8: great because it usually took up like three hours of 324 00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:56,040 Speaker 8: my day and then me and my fiance could just 325 00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:56,560 Speaker 8: lay at the beach. 326 00:15:56,560 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 4: Its is amazing, but uh yeah, wake up, we'd go in. 327 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:02,120 Speaker 4: We do like a short lift. 328 00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:05,560 Speaker 8: It's all from like a speed position, which is like 329 00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:08,640 Speaker 8: where your your glute is activated and you could like 330 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:10,840 Speaker 8: explode out of the position in any moment, like whether 331 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:14,880 Speaker 8: we're doing shoulders chest like, everything was in that position. 332 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:17,000 Speaker 8: And then after that we go to the field and 333 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:22,160 Speaker 8: you know, I was there with Miles boykind H tray swilling, 334 00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:27,200 Speaker 8: one of the tight ends for uh Tennessee, and you know, 335 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:29,160 Speaker 8: just just compete with those guys the whole time, just 336 00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:30,880 Speaker 8: trying to be faster than them.

So because the 501 00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:16,639 Speaker 6: intensity of the kickoff. Prior I would try to limit 502 00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:19,679 Speaker 6: justin to maybe only kicking off once a week because 503 00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:22,000 Speaker 6: it's an intense kick, right, But. 504 00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:24,960 Speaker 9: Now with this kick, he can do it a little shorter. 505 00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:27,560 Speaker 6: Right, doesn't have to take the full seven eight. 506 00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:30,959 Speaker 9: Yard run up. So we've devoted some time to it. 507 00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:35,160 Speaker 6: But he's such a technician and he's a perfectionist, which 508 00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:38,080 Speaker 6: helps me being able to say, Okay, hey we're gonna 509 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:39,879 Speaker 6: do twenty kicks today. 510 00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:42,040 Speaker 9: But when we're only talking a two. 511 00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:44,600 Speaker 6: Step or three step, it takes a little bit of 512 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:45,800 Speaker 6: wear and tear off the body. 513 00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:47,560 Speaker 9: So we've practiced it. 514 00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:52,840 Speaker 6: A little bit more in this camp, and in past 515 00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,720 Speaker 6: preseasons I haven't been very excited for him to kick 516 00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:57,600 Speaker 6: in it. But this year, you know, you saw a 517 00:24:57,640 --> 00:24:59,600 Speaker 6: last game he had kick some so he's got a 518 00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:01,000 Speaker 6: kind of get a feel of it too. 519 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:02,920 Speaker 4: It's just. 520 00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:10,320 Speaker 9: For new kicks to his no doubt, no. 521 00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:12,280 Speaker 6: No, just because it's a different ball now, right, So 522 00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:15,200 Speaker 6: when you when you used to hit a ball, you've 523 00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,680 Speaker 6: seen this week, right, I think there was four kickoffs 524 00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:19,080 Speaker 6: that didn't reach the landing zone. 525 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:23,240 Speaker 9: Guys were trying their different kick. You know, back on. 526 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,919 Speaker 6: The old kickoff, that ball might actually not be a 527 00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:28,280 Speaker 6: bad ball because you know the guys are running down field. 528 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:32,360 Speaker 6: But now he's got to be able to have multiple 529 00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:34,800 Speaker 6: kicks now, all right, and now we're only talking it's 530 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,439 Speaker 6: eighty and Sonny now today, well what do we do 531 00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:40,680 Speaker 6: when it's thirty and we've been at the bank when 532 00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:43,400 Speaker 6: it's thirty and the thirty mile prior winds coming out 533 00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:44,440 Speaker 6: of that far corner. 534 00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:45,960 Speaker 9: How are we going to kick off? 535 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:46,200 Speaker 4: Then? 536 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,920 Speaker 6: So he's creating some scenarios where that that's what he's 537 00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:52,719 Speaker 6: practicing now. And I think that's the one thing that 538 00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:54,879 Speaker 6: we don't know what's going to happen with this play. 539 00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:58,200 Speaker 6: Is it's nice that it's eighty ninety or you're indoors, 540 00:25:58,240 --> 00:25:58,960 Speaker 6: but what are we gonna do? 541 00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,880 Speaker 9: We are they gonna do? In Buffalo in December and January. 542 00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:05,840 Speaker 11: If you think if it's a take a discussionists in 543 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,440 Speaker 11: having there, they're only going. 544 00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:11,360 Speaker 2: To play as it was, but. 545 00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:15,639 Speaker 6: A weere they're in, so the line of fire and 546 00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:17,040 Speaker 6: how to make the time, you know, I think it's 547 00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:18,440 Speaker 6: going to be the same amount as it's been in 548 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:22,240 Speaker 6: the years past. That seemed to be a narrative early, 549 00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:24,960 Speaker 6: but I don't think so when you really look through 550 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,919 Speaker 6: the years of kickoffs. I mean, we remember we used 551 00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:30,159 Speaker 6: to kick off from the thirty yard line, So I 552 00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:32,800 Speaker 6: think specialists will be just as involved as they were before, 553 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:34,320 Speaker 6: you know, and nothing. 554 00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:36,400 Speaker 9: I don't see anything additional to it. I really don't. 555 00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:42,040 Speaker 7: Dan Stout he's holding in particular the last couple of years, 556 00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:44,480 Speaker 7: but Justin is off a tick. 557 00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:47,600 Speaker 4: Relativity to the rest of the league. How would you 558 00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:48,640 Speaker 4: break Jordan's. 559 00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:53,120 Speaker 6: D So you're Jordan's Stout and you're following Sam Cook, 560 00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:55,600 Speaker 6: who's arguably the greatest holder it's ever played the game. 561 00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:59,240 Speaker 6: So Jordan has now had a chance to learn from 562 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:04,000 Speaker 6: Sam and learn from Justin. So I would say today 563 00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:07,479 Speaker 6: Jordan's the best holder in the National Football League. And 564 00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:10,159 Speaker 6: why do I say that is because we've got a 565 00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:13,399 Speaker 6: kicker who demands that the ball be at that spot 566 00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:16,480 Speaker 6: that he needs it every single time. And Jordan's taken 567 00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:19,159 Speaker 6: it as a challenge. And you know when when I 568 00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:22,040 Speaker 6: first met Jordan a few years ago and I had 569 00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:25,399 Speaker 6: breakfast with him, you could talk to him right then 570 00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:27,560 Speaker 6: and there. I mean, he was a competitive soccer player, 571 00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:31,120 Speaker 6: like a high level soccer player, and you could see 572 00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:34,720 Speaker 6: where his detail orient orient it is and you see 573 00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:36,960 Speaker 6: it with his punning. But right now where he's gone 574 00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,560 Speaker 6: with his holding, I'd pick him over any other the 575 00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:42,560 Speaker 6: thirty two holders in National FOOTBA League where he's gotten 576 00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:44,640 Speaker 6: and Justin demands it too, as we. 577 00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:48,880 Speaker 5: Know what effectually time a lot, pick all stuff, seams 578 00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:51,760 Speaker 5: consider and like that, take it out of the back, 579 00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:53,600 Speaker 5: take give the offense. 580 00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:56,520 Speaker 3: And start at the thirty get saved practice time. 581 00:27:56,400 --> 00:28:00,480 Speaker 10: As well as why would that be in an advantage 582 00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:01,720 Speaker 10: or where. 583 00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:04,040 Speaker 2: Is that a disadvantage for those teams that did send 584 00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:04,440 Speaker 2: any news. 585 00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:06,119 Speaker 6: Well, I don't know about other teams, but I know 586 00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:08,880 Speaker 6: John Harball is the head coach of this team, and 587 00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:12,080 Speaker 6: him and I've been together for nineteen seasons and special 588 00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:14,439 Speaker 6: teams is very important to him and it's very important 589 00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:19,919 Speaker 6: to me, and I love covering kicks I love returning kicks. 590 00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:22,159 Speaker 6: I love the idea of putting the ball in play 591 00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:25,560 Speaker 6: and playing football so and I know Chris Wharton does, 592 00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:28,439 Speaker 6: and I know the head coach does, and I love it. 593 00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,119 Speaker 6: What other teams are going to do or think, I 594 00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:33,560 Speaker 6: don't know, but I know what we do. We love 595 00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:35,160 Speaker 6: returning kicks and covering kicks. 596 00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:41,040 Speaker 1: Around here, you're listening to the Ravens Press Past podcast. 597 00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:43,440 Speaker 1: Make sure you hit that subscribe button.
