1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,040 Speaker 1: A team Mac. I think we've probably asked this question 2 00:00:02,080 --> 00:00:04,080 Speaker 1: plenty of times. But when you have a kick returner, 3 00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:06,200 Speaker 1: who's call is it on taking the ball of the answer, 4 00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:08,280 Speaker 1: is that totally up to him, totally up to you guys, 5 00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:10,280 Speaker 1: or maybe some mix of the two. No, we give 6 00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:13,760 Speaker 1: him instructions, probably going out in the field. Uh, you 7 00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:17,759 Speaker 1: know sometimes the instructions. You know, during the course of 8 00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:21,440 Speaker 1: the game, stuff happens, and you know, players make mistakes, 9 00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:23,880 Speaker 1: you know, it just it just happened. Sometimes. Core is 10 00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:26,600 Speaker 1: a young player, and uh, you know, he made a mistake. 11 00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:28,440 Speaker 1: So it is what it is. I mean, it's not 12 00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:31,960 Speaker 1: a it's not something that's we're gonna kill ourselves about. 13 00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:34,760 Speaker 1: I mean, it's just make sure you're learning from that 14 00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:38,559 Speaker 1: mistake and not being a repeat offender. And Joe was 15 00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:40,680 Speaker 1: talking a lot about how he looks at Heck as 16 00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:43,559 Speaker 1: a heckler. Hecker Uh hes a, yeah, basically has like 17 00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:45,960 Speaker 1: a quarterback at punter. I mean, do you have to 18 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:50,479 Speaker 1: have your your guys like the vice guys extra on guard. Absolutely. 19 00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:51,960 Speaker 1: I mean you look at the history of this guy. 20 00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:56,240 Speaker 1: I mean, their their fake history is extensive, and it's 21 00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:58,320 Speaker 1: just the way, it's just the way he plays the game, 22 00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:00,880 Speaker 1: you know, so you always got to be alert for that. 23 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,040 Speaker 1: That's our job as coaches, just to make sure we 24 00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:04,920 Speaker 1: put our players in the best position to where they 25 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:08,039 Speaker 1: can succeed. And obviously, Johnny Heckers, he's an heck of 26 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:14,039 Speaker 1: a player, uh, and an outstanding athlete. Thanks Tom Rock. 27 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:15,959 Speaker 1: You know, I can seem like you came close to 28 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 1: blocking a couple of their kicks last week. Was that 29 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:20,720 Speaker 1: something you saw that you wanted to take advantage of 30 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,240 Speaker 1: or is it just kind of developed like that? It's 31 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,880 Speaker 1: it's it was a combination of both. Uh. We have 32 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,560 Speaker 1: a lot of confidence in our guys, and and Leonard 33 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 1: and Dex and Dalwin and Lorenzo and Corey, Uh Leonard, 34 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,400 Speaker 1: I mean, all those guys do a great job. They 35 00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,480 Speaker 1: play hard from start to finish, the the right kind 36 00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:44,920 Speaker 1: of people and uh, you know, we just playing football. 37 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 1: We're just out there trying to make a play for 38 00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:50,200 Speaker 1: our team. And they rushed hard from the very first 39 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,920 Speaker 1: one to the very last. And it really tells you 40 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:56,560 Speaker 1: a lot about who they are as people and as competitors. 41 00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 1: And then are are they using Hecker at any differently 42 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 1: now that they switched coordinators? Obviously they still have this 43 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 1: pretty much the same, uh, the same arsenal within him. Well, 44 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 1: i mean we only played a couple of games, so 45 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,919 Speaker 1: I'm sure throughout the season it'll show up, because that's 46 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,400 Speaker 1: you know, that guy's a weapon. I mean, he's a 47 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:16,960 Speaker 1: he's a guy that can he can throw it at 48 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,080 Speaker 1: in you know, he can make all the throws at 49 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:22,240 Speaker 1: any point in time on the field. And uh, you know, 50 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:24,359 Speaker 1: I'm sure at some point in time, it's gonna show 51 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:28,959 Speaker 1: up at MAC with your real who is your it's 52 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 1: obviously not practice, and who is your neat stop as 53 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 1: a conf returner? And did you see anything on the 54 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:38,640 Speaker 1: play where he got injured? Uh that that happened unusual 55 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 1: that happened. Yeah, I didn't see anything unusual that happened. Uh, 56 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:46,679 Speaker 1: just kind of a freak deal. Um. Yeah, we got 57 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:50,240 Speaker 1: a few guys back there that that have been practicing. Uh, 58 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,120 Speaker 1: we got options there. And again, you guys have been 59 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 1: around this, you know, this program for the last three 60 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 1: or four years. I mean, you know we're always gonna 61 00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,040 Speaker 1: have gone back there and it's capable of doing it, 62 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 1: and uh, he'll be ready to go. So but now, 63 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 1: I didn't see anything crazy with with your Brill's injury 64 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 1: and they were just kind of one of those deals. 65 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 1: But he'll be back. He's a tough guy. He'll be back. 66 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 1: An Thomas, how you doing, I'm doing great? How you 67 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 1: doing good? Uh? Just on on Jabril more. How much 68 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:25,080 Speaker 1: does he play into your special teams? I mean obviously 69 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 1: a punt returners. How big a job is replacing him? 70 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,960 Speaker 1: You know, anytime you've got a player of Jabriel's caliber, 71 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 1: tom uh that you have to replace. I mean, obviously 72 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 1: it's gonna take a few guys to replace him because 73 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 1: he did a bunch of different jobs and uh, you know, 74 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 1: he he meant a lot to our football team, and 75 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 1: he means a lot to our football team. That's why 76 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 1: he has to see on his chest. So uh, it's 77 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 1: it's hard to replace that guy. But you know, you 78 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 1: just do the best you can, and the guys are 79 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 1: gonna step up. You know, these young guys are gonna 80 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 1: step up and fill some of those roles. And we're 81 00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 1: gonna keep plugging and we'll see what happens. You know, 82 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 1: but those young guys will step up and they'll do 83 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 1: a good job.

I can't get y'all my secrets, Jordan. Now, 89 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 1: we got we got a couple of the options. I 90 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:33,680 Speaker 1: mean CJ's back there. Uh, Darius Slaine's back there. Uh, 91 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 1: you know we got we got a bunch of the options. 92 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:37,720 Speaker 1: So guys that have been out there and that's been 93 00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:42,160 Speaker 1: practicing catching punts every day, you know since training camp.

Appreciate 96 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,560 Speaker 1: last one here, Pat, Pat Lenard a Team Magic. Do 97 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,279 Speaker 1: you think toy Lolo is a willing blocker or a 98 00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 1: couple of kick returns? Uh? Last week where I don't 99 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:00,920 Speaker 1: know if he didn't know who he was supposed to 100 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 1: block or or what was going on. But I mean, 101 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:04,719 Speaker 1: you have a lot of young guys. You can't afford 102 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,840 Speaker 1: veterans not to do their job right. Right. Well, Ryan, 103 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 1: you you just said right you didn't know who he's 104 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 1: moosed to block and he did his job. Uh No, 105 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,039 Speaker 1: he's a he's he's a more than willing blocker. There. 106 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,919 Speaker 1: We had a couple of mistakes up front um that 107 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 1: he had to make up for, and he has to 108 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 1: be very very cautious and how he approaches the front line, 109 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 1: because the rule is you cannot engage if I'm a 110 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,600 Speaker 1: back line If I'm a back line player, I can't 111 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 1: engage with a front line blocker because it's an illegal 112 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 1: double team. So he has to make sure that he's 113 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 1: has the ability to avoid at any point in time 114 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:45,799 Speaker 1: because if any if I make any contact, either incidental 115 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 1: contact or on purpose, I can be flat. So now 116 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 1: he's he's a more than willing blocker. He does he 117 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 1: does a good job. We just you know, we have 118 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 1: to do a better job, you know what I'm saying. 119 00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 1: So if the first guy down the field is already 120 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,920 Speaker 1: being blocked, he has to avoid that. But he has 121 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:04,920 Speaker 1: to wait and see if he's gonna be free, because 122 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 1: then he can block it. Absolutely, He's not waited that 123 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 1: in that particular play, he was supposed to block someone 124 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 1: else and that guy just showed up in his face. 125 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 1: That's his rule. He's not gonna ever let opposite color 126 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:20,600 Speaker 1: across his face, right, so he knows in that situation 127 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 1: that guy shows up, he's the most dangerous guy. He's 128 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 1: right in front of me, so I have to block 129 00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 1: him because if I let him go, he's unabated to 130 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 1: the quarterback, I mean, to the to the runner. You 131 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 1: know so, but that's the rule.
