And 175 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,880 Speaker 4: then there's other days where I wasn't my best right 176 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 4: and you have to watch the film and you. 177 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 3: Have to see what you can do to get better. 178 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 4: And typing in because I'm a perfectionist is probably my 179 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 4: worst it's my best quality, but probably my worst quality 180 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 4: being my worst own worst critic. And so you know, 181 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 4: to have to type in those numbers, right, I mean 182 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:40,440 Speaker 4: it it was tough, you know, just having to do that. 183 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 4: And but yeah, there's always there's always time for a 184 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 4: spreadsheet and I'll find stuff. I mean, you know, I'll 185 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 4: find something to spreadsheet on. 186 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 1: Was there a moment in your career where you became 187 00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 1: Brett Kerr? And what I mean by that is you 188 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,600 Speaker 1: had to battle to get in the league? Yeah, to battle, 189 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:02,680 Speaker 1: you had to keep fighting, and then you got here 190 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,360 Speaker 1: and you're not having to fight to keep your job anymore. 191 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 1: Suddenly you're one of the best guys in the league, 192 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 1: So I'll repeat the question. Was there a moment football wise, 193 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 1: personally otherwise where you became Brett kerr. 194 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 3: Uh. 195 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 4: I mean I could go back and look at games 196 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:25,080 Speaker 4: where I felt like I felt like all the work 197 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,640 Speaker 4: that I had put in to be really consistent directionally 198 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,079 Speaker 4: it just paid off, and it was like, Okay, I 199 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,120 Speaker 4: don't know if there's necessarily a moment or just like clicked, 200 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:37,080 Speaker 4: but I know he talked about, you know, getting cut 201 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:41,360 Speaker 4: coming here in my first game against Jacksonville, and I 202 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,760 Speaker 4: remember putting i think two out of the four or 203 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 4: something like that, like out of bounds, and they were 204 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:49,280 Speaker 4: good punts, and I remember thinking, Okay, yep, I can 205 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:51,719 Speaker 4: I can do this here, right, And so just kind 206 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:53,720 Speaker 4: of building off that, and there were there were moments, 207 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 4: you know, I was just kind of battling to be 208 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 4: as consistent as I could possibly be. And then I think, 209 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:04,199 Speaker 4: you know, in twenty fourteen when Nate Catcer took over 210 00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,320 Speaker 4: and we did that box drill, and it was just 211 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,400 Speaker 4: every day I'm setting up these cones, setting them up, 212 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 4: and I'm trying to put it in this box, in 213 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:15,480 Speaker 4: this box, and it just became muscle memory and I 214 00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:18,560 Speaker 4: remember that year having a pretty good year directional punting, 215 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,640 Speaker 4: and same thing with fifteen. I had a lot of 216 00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,800 Speaker 4: cracks at it. Those were those are some rough years. Yes, 217 00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,079 Speaker 4: I think there's eighty eight punts back to back years. 218 00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 4: But then from that point on, I just felt like, 219 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 4: you know, this is what I am If I want 220 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:36,080 Speaker 4: to stay in this league and if I want to 221 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:37,800 Speaker 4: be the best, like I have to be really good 222 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:41,640 Speaker 4: at this particular type of punt and just kept grinding, 223 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:43,880 Speaker 4: just kept working at it, working at it, and finally 224 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:47,320 Speaker 4: to kind of have it payoff in seventeen with the 225 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 4: Pro Bowl season. 226 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 3: Then it was just okay, yep, got it. 227 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:53,839 Speaker 4: Just keep rolling, you know, and see how many we 228 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 4: can stack and see what this becomes. 229 00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 1: It would be crazy to ask the majority of punters 230 00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:05,240 Speaker 1: or players about how many times from the first time 231 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 1: they ever punted a football until the last time you 232 00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 1: punted a football. You think, in terms of numbers, there 233 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,640 Speaker 1: were punts in between.

From the 505 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,720 Speaker 1: standpoint that it's twenty five seconds to go in the game, 506 00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:40,720 Speaker 1: number one job there is You've got to get the 507 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:44,760 Speaker 1: punt off. That's the number one job. Not only do 508 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:46,800 Speaker 1: you do that, but you put it in a place 509 00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:50,600 Speaker 1: that nobody can catch it, and it bounds down is 510 00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:53,320 Speaker 1: down at the one yard line. So it's a fifty 511 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:58,280 Speaker 1: eight yard punt, fifty eight gross, fifty eight net inside 512 00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:00,440 Speaker 1: not only the twenty, but in the five. It takes 513 00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:04,760 Speaker 1: ten seconds off the clock and it is the complete 514 00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:08,280 Speaker 1: dagger through the heart at that moment. Even if Logan 515 00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:12,240 Speaker 1: Ryan doesn't intercept that pass, Tom Brady ate scoring right there. 516 00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:12,520 Speaker 4: Right. 517 00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:16,480 Speaker 1: So for your career, if that's the moment that they 518 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:20,720 Speaker 1: constantly roll over out of a thousand punts and the 519 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:24,320 Speaker 1: holds and the fake kicks and everything, if that's the money, 520 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:26,919 Speaker 1: the moment that they roll are you good with that? 521 00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:28,359 Speaker 3: Yeah? 522 00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:30,680 Speaker 4: I mean, I mean I'm good without it. I mean 523 00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:32,960 Speaker 4: I'm I'm blessed just to be able to say I 524 00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:35,720 Speaker 4: played this long, right, Sure, And that. 525 00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:36,320 Speaker 3: Was a moment. 526 00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:39,679 Speaker 4: And the funny the funny part was is you know, 527 00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 4: I think PFF gave it like the worst punt of 528 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:45,240 Speaker 4: the week in the playoffs, right because they didn't have hangtime. 529 00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:47,520 Speaker 3: It was right down the middle of the field, right. 530 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:51,280 Speaker 4: Everything you know that they judged their punts on it 531 00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:54,320 Speaker 4: was not what they thought was good, Right, But in 532 00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:57,919 Speaker 4: the situation. You know it's a nine man rush, well 533 00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:01,280 Speaker 4: you only got eight to protect. So it's me versus Slater, 534 00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:04,080 Speaker 4: who's you know, one of the best special teams player. 535 00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:05,840 Speaker 2: To ever, ever, ever, ever. 536 00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:07,679 Speaker 3: To do it. And so it was it was a 537 00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:08,280 Speaker 3: one on one. 538 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:11,440 Speaker 4: Can I can I get the ball off fast enough? 539 00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:11,720 Speaker 3: Right? 540 00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:13,919 Speaker 4: And it all I mean it starts with you know, 541 00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:18,960 Speaker 4: bosnap perfect, bam, bam, we're out right and so and 542 00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:22,440 Speaker 4: so I've worked on those situations before, like how can 543 00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:24,520 Speaker 4: you get a punt because you want it on the 544 00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:27,960 Speaker 4: ground to waste time, right, because the moment it stops 545 00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:29,760 Speaker 4: the official, you don't know when the officials gonna blow 546 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:31,119 Speaker 4: it dead. So if you can get it on the 547 00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:34,080 Speaker 4: ground quicker and just kind of rolling forward to keep 548 00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:36,920 Speaker 4: that ball momentum. And it's different grass compared to turf, right, 549 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,280 Speaker 4: and so you kind of fool around with it. But 550 00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:42,280 Speaker 4: you also know like, hey, this is a possibility that 551 00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:44,480 Speaker 4: this could happen, right, and you understand what New England 552 00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:48,000 Speaker 4: does situationally, so you knew that, hey, this is the game, 553 00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:51,800 Speaker 4: this might be it, and so you just got it 554 00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:54,160 Speaker 4: over the line, got it out quick. It was rolling. 555 00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:56,439 Speaker 4: I said, that's an ugly punt, but that's exactly what 556 00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:59,640 Speaker 4: I wanted. And Dane obviously did a great job krookshank 557 00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:01,359 Speaker 4: of just being right there and there was. 558 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:03,040 Speaker 3: Enough time for here. 559 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:05,320 Speaker 4: It rolled long enough, which is what you want for 560 00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:07,160 Speaker 4: him to be able to get down there and get. 561 00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:11,400 Speaker 1: A ten second football play with twenty five seconds left 562 00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:11,680 Speaker 1: on the. 563 00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:14,479 Speaker 4: Clock, right, Because if you in that situation too, if 564 00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:17,359 Speaker 4: you just punted out of bounds right, well, for me, 565 00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:20,120 Speaker 4: I hit those piss missiles right, so you're looking at 566 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,639 Speaker 4: snapped the hold with the kick and by the time 567 00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:25,360 Speaker 4: I hit a maybe a four second hand time, man, 568 00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:28,400 Speaker 4: it hits out of bounds with a second and a half, 569 00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:30,959 Speaker 4: you're looking at five and a half seconds, right, compared 570 00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,520 Speaker 4: to that's another play, right, and that's another play. 571 00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:35,199 Speaker 3: It might be two plays what you do? 572 00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:38,720 Speaker 4: So uh yeah, that was And I thought like. 573 00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:39,760 Speaker 3: That ended it. 574 00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,359 Speaker 4: Tom's done like and then obviously he went to Tampa 575 00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:42,840 Speaker 4: Bay and one. 576 00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:44,800 Speaker 3: Well, but it ended. 577 00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:51,120 Speaker 1: I mean, I saw you hit more beautiful punts than that. Absolutely, 578 00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:53,359 Speaker 1: he had a seventy nine yard punt. But when I 579 00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:57,400 Speaker 1: talk about being the best situational punter in the game, 580 00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:01,000 Speaker 1: and I talked about Craig Hentrick was that before you 581 00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:03,560 Speaker 1: and then we get to see you. It's not necessarily 582 00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:07,640 Speaker 1: kicking the ball the furthest or even having the greatest net. 583 00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:12,760 Speaker 1: Sometimes a twenty five yard punt is incredibly effective in 584 00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:15,919 Speaker 1: a certain situation, right, Just like when you're nine to 585 00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,040 Speaker 1: three quarters yards deep in the back of the end 586 00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:21,159 Speaker 1: zone taking a snap. Sometimes just getting it out of 587 00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:25,320 Speaker 1: there and getting a fair catch is the best possible result. 588 00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:29,399 Speaker 2: That's that's what the job is. It's not just kicking 589 00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:30,560 Speaker 2: it as far as you can. 590 00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:33,000 Speaker 4: No, I mean, it's I mean, I think back to 591 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:36,160 Speaker 4: the cold game, right, the zero degree game. 592 00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:37,480 Speaker 3: The balls are going nowhere. 593 00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:39,840 Speaker 4: It's a rock, right, And who's back there for Kansas City, 594 00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:44,000 Speaker 4: Tyreek Hill? Right when Tyreek Hill was back trying to 595 00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:47,320 Speaker 4: house every single punt? Well, what did what did Coach 596 00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:50,560 Speaker 4: Hoffman ask me to do? He hit and over end punt. 597 00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,280 Speaker 4: All I want is to go thirty five yards and 598 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:55,800 Speaker 4: let's keep them. Let's keep that net right around thirty 599 00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:59,000 Speaker 4: five and we'll be just fine. Four punts. I think 600 00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:01,119 Speaker 4: I averaged thirty six that at thirty five, got a 601 00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:02,840 Speaker 4: game ball out of it, and did what you were 602 00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:05,920 Speaker 4: supposed to do, right, A game help win a game, right, 603 00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,840 Speaker 4: And so did the average take a hit? 604 00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:10,920 Speaker 3: Absolutely? Did the net take a hit? Absolutely? 605 00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:12,960 Speaker 4: But we won the game. And so I did what 606 00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:15,359 Speaker 4: I was asked to do. And even you know, I 607 00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:19,400 Speaker 4: remember playing Washington. I think it was a Saturday game, 608 00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:22,800 Speaker 4: Christmas Eve or something like that. You know, there's fifteen 609 00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:25,640 Speaker 4: seconds left, right, what do we call foul ball? 610 00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:27,600 Speaker 3: What does that mean? Got to get out of bounds? Right, 611 00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:29,679 Speaker 3: got to hit an out of bounds. 612 00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:31,439 Speaker 4: And that's what's what I was asked to do, and 613 00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:33,399 Speaker 4: I did it. And that's just kind of what I 614 00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:37,119 Speaker 4: felt like, if you asked me to do something, I 615 00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:39,160 Speaker 4: want to be able to deliver it. For you. 616 00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:43,600 Speaker 5: Of all the thousands of punts that you have punted 617 00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:46,960 Speaker 5: throughout your career, how many of them do you actually remember? 618 00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:47,280 Speaker 4: Like? 619 00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:50,200 Speaker 5: How many of them give you questions stories attached to 620 00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:50,880 Speaker 5: like that? 621 00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:55,040 Speaker 4: I could probably go through and easily give you eighty 622 00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:55,680 Speaker 4: percent of them? 623 00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:57,040 Speaker 2: Wow? Seriously? 624 00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:00,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, seventy eight whoa yeah? And there's game. 625 00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:03,320 Speaker 4: There's definitely game, especially ones where I felt like I had, 626 00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:08,720 Speaker 4: you know, really really good games. You know, twenty twelve 627 00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:13,120 Speaker 4: at Houston, Right, we were backed up probably six out 628 00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:16,080 Speaker 4: of the eight punts, right, and I remember putting five 629 00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:18,480 Speaker 4: of them almost out of bounds, out of bounds almost. 630 00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:21,200 Speaker 4: I mean, there's just there's stuff that you can remember 631 00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:24,240 Speaker 4: because a lot of times I'm going through film, you know, 632 00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:26,960 Speaker 4: anytime we'd play at a certain place, I'd want to 633 00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:29,160 Speaker 4: go through and look at the film and just say, 634 00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:30,880 Speaker 4: all right, you look at the weather report. 635 00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:32,080 Speaker 3: What's it going to be? This is what I did 636 00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:33,600 Speaker 3: here in such and such year. 637 00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:37,920 Speaker 4: Whatever. But yeah, I remember a good amount of them. 638 00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:40,760 Speaker 2: Wow, how are you not going to coach kicking? 639 00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:44,160 Speaker 6: I might I was gonna say, because it sounds like 640 00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:48,200 Speaker 6: you're in love for it from the coaches that you've gotten, Yeah, 641 00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:51,120 Speaker 6: and from the process of doing the job. I mean, 642 00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:53,280 Speaker 6: let's face it, you meet a lot of punters and 643 00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:54,680 Speaker 6: they're just like, yeah, I just go out and kick 644 00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:56,280 Speaker 6: it and do what I'm asked to do. 645 00:29:56,720 --> 00:30:00,200 Speaker 1: I mean, and that's great. And everybody has different approaches, 646 00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:04,520 Speaker 1: but your approach is so systematic it feels like it's 647 00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:05,160 Speaker 1: a part of you. 648 00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:05,960 Speaker 3: Yeah. 649 00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:07,680 Speaker 4: Well, I mean, yeah, you've been been doing it for 650 00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:09,920 Speaker 4: a long time and just learned. I've had to learn 651 00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:14,600 Speaker 4: a lot on my own and how to analyze film 652 00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:16,760 Speaker 4: kind of on my own, and what works for me, right, 653 00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:19,160 Speaker 4: I don't.
