1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,640 Speaker 1: Hey, Cam, how you doing good? Ron? How are we doing? 2 00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:03,800 Speaker 1: It's going good? Thanks. 3 00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:06,640 Speaker 2: I just wanted to ask you now that you've played 4 00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:10,799 Speaker 2: for home games, how has the new scoreboard and all 5 00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:13,440 Speaker 2: that construction kind of changed the wind patterns and the 6 00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:15,960 Speaker 2: kicking game and kind of affected that part of the game. 7 00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:19,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, I would say this past game was probably the 8 00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:23,520 Speaker 3: most win we've had, you know, going into the game, 9 00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:26,720 Speaker 3: and you know, it's definitely still a factor in our stadium, 10 00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:30,600 Speaker 3: Like you could see that there's no you know, disguising 11 00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:33,239 Speaker 3: the wind and how much the ball was moving. So 12 00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:35,920 Speaker 3: you know, the scoreboard didn't eliminate the wind, you know, 13 00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:38,560 Speaker 3: which was something we talked about like that being that 14 00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:41,520 Speaker 3: big of a scoreboard, you know, was it gonna knock 15 00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:43,840 Speaker 3: all the wind down. It's actually kind of made actually 16 00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:47,639 Speaker 3: even more difficult because the wind is circling, it's got 17 00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:48,839 Speaker 3: something to bounce off of. 18 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:52,040 Speaker 1: So depending on as we're going, as it coming from 19 00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:53,800 Speaker 1: the west, the northwest, you. 20 00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:56,600 Speaker 3: Know, the east, you know occasionally so as we go 21 00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,600 Speaker 3: charting like where how is it playing based off the 22 00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:01,560 Speaker 3: direction of the win, it's gonna be something to look 23 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,760 Speaker 3: at for sure, but you know, it's definitely circling in there, 24 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:06,840 Speaker 3: so going one way and during the game may fill 25 00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:08,720 Speaker 3: it one way and then come mid third quarter you're like, 26 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:09,080 Speaker 3: wait a. 27 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,319 Speaker 1: Minute, is it? Is it transitioning and shifting a little bit. 28 00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,280 Speaker 3: So, you know, I think it's definitely something the guys 29 00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 3: are gonna have to get used to. And the more 30 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,080 Speaker 3: chances they get the kick in there and the wins 31 00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:21,000 Speaker 3: different each time, the more we're gonna be able to adapt, say, hey, 32 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:22,800 Speaker 3: you remember back in you. 33 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,480 Speaker 1: Know, just call it. You know we played Buffalo, the 34 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 1: wins this, it's gonna be the same. Or as we 35 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 1: play more games, you're able to chart that and log 36 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 1: that in your. 37 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:34,959 Speaker 2: Brain and then off that. Chad had a big forty 38 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,120 Speaker 2: nine yard in that direction. I know he missed one 39 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,160 Speaker 2: against New Orleans in that way, kind of the same distance. 40 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,039 Speaker 2: What's he shown you guys, three kicks made. He kind 41 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,000 Speaker 2: of started, had some ups and downs. What's he kind 42 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 2: of shown you guys as a rookie kicker dealing with 43 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 2: those elements. 44 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:50,240 Speaker 1: No, he's done a good job. Chad. 45 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 3: Chad comes in every day ready to work, you know, 46 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,720 Speaker 3: and he's continuing to get better. The more, like I said, 47 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 3: you can kick in in the win in the elements 48 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,600 Speaker 3: in NFL stadiums and actually going there and kick or 49 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 3: on our practice field. 50 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 1: You know, I actually I hope for every time he kicks, 51 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 1: I'm hoping. 52 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 3: It to be really really windy, you know, And he's like, 53 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 3: he's like really, I'm like, hey, this is what you're 54 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:13,400 Speaker 3: gonna play in. So he's gotten better each time, and 55 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 3: you see that he continues to get better. He continues 56 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 3: to improve. You just got to keep working at it. 57 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:19,800 Speaker 3: And he's got a great head on his shoulders and 58 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 3: that's allowing him to be successful. 59 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 2: And I can keep going here. I don't see any 60 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 2: other hands, but keep calling with Chad on the kickoffs. 61 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 2: I know you guys you had seven kickoffs Buffalo returned three, 62 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,240 Speaker 2: which was the most you guys against you guys all year. 63 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 2: And just from watching, I thought you kind of were 64 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,960 Speaker 2: inviting that with with Chad some of Chad's setups and kicks. 65 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:44,640 Speaker 2: Was that fair to say? And was there something you 66 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 2: saw in Buffalo that made you want them to return 67 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:48,639 Speaker 2: some of those kicks? 68 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:49,679 Speaker 1: Yeah? 69 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 3: No, you know, our guys in that kickoff unit, they 70 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 3: continuously are getting the itch to hey let's cover, let's 71 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,080 Speaker 3: let's go down and cover some kicks. So you know, 72 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,120 Speaker 3: when when you feel like you know you can go 73 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:01,640 Speaker 3: down there and you can cover and you set the 74 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:03,800 Speaker 3: defense up with a long field, you want to. 75 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:05,080 Speaker 1: Take advantage of those opportunities. 76 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,960 Speaker 3: Whether that's you know, Chad changes approach because they don't 77 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,360 Speaker 3: want to kick the ball twelve deep because the wind 78 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,079 Speaker 3: is pushing the ball, or it's a shorter approach, you know, 79 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 3: full approach into the wind. You know, some of those 80 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 3: things do play into it, and it's just game by game, 81 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,920 Speaker 3: how's the game flow, how it's going on. 82 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,399 Speaker 1: What we're trying to do situationally there for sure. 83 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 2: And then how nice was it to have Cody Davis 84 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:27,920 Speaker 2: back part of that unit. 85 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,639 Speaker 1: No, Cody's a intrinsic piece for us. 86 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 3: You know, he does a really good job for his commanding, 87 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 3: you know, signal caller, making adjustments, you know, playing fast, 88 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 3: you know when he's taking off running, you know, he 89 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 3: can run, he can move, you know, very knowledgeable of 90 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 3: everything in the kicking game and football overall. So it's 91 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 3: definitely a blessing to have him back on the field 92 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 3: out there. He played well for us. You know, it 93 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 3: makes my job a little bit easier. You know, when 94 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 3: you have good players, they can go out there and 95 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 3: execute and glage you to be more multiple and create 96 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 3: more advantages for those those guys you know. So you 97 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 3: know it makes my job, like I said, a lot 98 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 3: easier when you have really good football players. You know, 99 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 3: those are the guys that go out there and have 100 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 3: to do it and help you win the games. You know, 101 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 3: so very blessed to have him back, you know, great 102 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 3: guy and great football player for sure. 103 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 2: And then just one last one. I guess Pop as 104 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:21,040 Speaker 2: a return man, big return obviously against Buffalo. How have 105 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,840 Speaker 2: you seen him kind of grow in that role since 106 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,040 Speaker 2: since he's got here over the sprint? 107 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, no, no, Pops continue to get better, you know, 108 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,560 Speaker 3: no different than any young guy going from you know, 109 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 3: catching a college and all the college roll out rugby punts, 110 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 3: balls on the ground, you know, wherever you're at. That's 111 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 3: what you're seeing a lot of times in college is 112 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 3: developing to the hangtimes of NFL punts and how much 113 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 3: the ball actually moves does it turn over? 114 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 1: Is the nose up? You know, Troy does a. 115 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,200 Speaker 3: Great job with those guys back there deep at practice 116 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 3: and everything, coaching coaching them and talking to him about hey, 117 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 3: the noses up the noses down, how's it going to fall? 118 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,600 Speaker 1: Where's the win playing? So you know, he's continued to learn. 119 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 3: He gets out there early and tries to catch as 120 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:06,720 Speaker 3: many punts as he can. So it's at testament to 121 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 3: him and his work ethic. And you know, running with 122 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,360 Speaker 3: the ball, you know, obviously he's got good hands. He's 123 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,359 Speaker 3: a receiver and that's the one thing you look for. 124 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 3: It's like, can you catch the ball first? And I 125 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 3: tell him all the time, you know, he's gotta have 126 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 3: a good setups, gotta get on the ball, field it 127 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 3: and then we can run. We can see how it's 128 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 3: supposed to be is once he gets the ball in 129 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,040 Speaker 3: his hands. But the most important thing on that unit 130 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:26,840 Speaker 3: is to make sure you have the ball at the 131 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 3: end of the play, you know. And he's continued to 132 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,599 Speaker 3: get better and hopefully, you know, he continues that upward track, 133 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,039 Speaker 3: you know, and continues to improve, and hopefully you can 134 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,040 Speaker 3: continue to have a couple big returns moving forward. 135 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:41,159 Speaker 1: Thanks, Ken, appreciate it, Brian, have a good day you too.
