If 12 00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:41,640 Speaker 1: you had to go down that route, you know, what 13 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:44,720 Speaker 1: would you be getting and would how much would it 14 00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:47,800 Speaker 1: concerned you that you have a guy who's he never 15 00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:53,320 Speaker 1: at least kicked field goals in Again, Uh, Ryan's very talented. 16 00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:55,400 Speaker 1: You know, we've been watching him here all year, so 17 00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,280 Speaker 1: you know, we brought him in because he had a 18 00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:00,560 Speaker 1: ton of talent and he's gotten better here since he's 19 00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:04,600 Speaker 1: been here.

We you know, 46 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 1: we encourage them to uh spread out because you know, 47 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,400 Speaker 1: specials are tight. You know, those guys they sit in 48 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 1: the locker room all day with each other. They're talking 49 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 1: to each other, they're you know, they're in the players lounge. 50 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:49,119 Speaker 1: They're always around each other. They're working there around each other. 51 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,360 Speaker 1: So we we always knew that there was a possibility 52 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 1: because of the contact tracing stuff. But now you know 53 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 1: Carson and Ryan and all those guys, they do a 54 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,800 Speaker 1: good job of trying to keep themselves spaced out, and 55 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:03,920 Speaker 1: we got them in a different locker rooms. So I 56 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:05,639 Speaker 1: mean it's yeah, if you'd have got me earlier week, 57 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:14,080 Speaker 1: got a bit a little nervous. Are Thanksgiving New York? 58 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 1: Um along those lines. I mean, you guys are detail oriented. 59 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 1: We've been hearing it since Joe got here. But when 60 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 1: you guys put that plan together in the summer to 61 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,680 Speaker 1: make sure you have us a long snapper, have a 62 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 1: guy who can kick it punt on the practice squad 63 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 1: just in case. Um, I mean, what does that reinforce 64 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 1: the idea that the foresight almost came into you know, 65 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 1: being this week and became a reality for you guys, 66 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 1: and you were prepared for it. Absolutely. That's why Joe 67 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 1: gets paid the big bucks right now. He's he had 68 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 1: a plan in place, and we talked about it from 69 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 1: you know, from the spring, because you don't want to 70 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 1: get caught in a situation where you don't have a specialist, 71 00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 1: you know, whether it's a pun or a kicker, you 72 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 1: don't ever want to get caught spot. So uh, we 73 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 1: had the fourth thought to bring the guys in and 74 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 1: have them in and then really, honestly, it's been a 75 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 1: blessing in disguise because you've been able to work with 76 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 1: guys and and see a guy like like Ryan Santoso 77 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 1: get better and you know, just know you've got Carson 78 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 1: Tinker there if something were to happen. So uh, it's 79 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,839 Speaker 1: it's been really good for all of those guys thanks 80 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:27,360 Speaker 1: to man.

This week, you might have a plethora 83 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 1: of guys coming back. I mean does that make your 84 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,480 Speaker 1: list too long or how do you handle that? Uh? 85 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,599 Speaker 1: And the list can never be too long for a 86 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 1: special teams coach. You know we're gonna take every every 87 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,040 Speaker 1: hand we can get.
