1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,800 Speaker 1: So, uh day, just having how he talks during the 2 00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:05,559 Speaker 1: week about fourth that situations and when they're going for it, 3 00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:07,640 Speaker 1: when they'll kick, but like how much on game day 4 00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:10,320 Speaker 1: this grand range fact they jids are kind of readings 5 00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:13,159 Speaker 1: there some of those discussions. Definitely. I mean, it's you know, 6 00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:15,680 Speaker 1: because it's cold and the wind and you know, sometimes 7 00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:17,880 Speaker 1: you guys will really notice it, but you know in 8 00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:22,000 Speaker 1: certain directions, like the win is really a factor. And uh, 9 00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:24,079 Speaker 1: you know when you watch pregame warmups, you know, and 10 00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:28,120 Speaker 1: you're always making adjustment. So based upon how the wind 11 00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:30,880 Speaker 1: might be particularly gusting as the game moves on, either 12 00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:33,720 Speaker 1: it might die down or it might pick up. It's 13 00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:36,000 Speaker 1: getting colder, you know what I mean, ball is not 14 00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:38,000 Speaker 1: gonna flies far, So all of those things have to 15 00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:41,920 Speaker 1: be accounted for, he said. He said after the game 16 00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:46,159 Speaker 1: that in warmups he wouldn't have been able to hit 17 00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,320 Speaker 1: that second fifty yard, but in the game, you guys 18 00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:52,519 Speaker 1: adjusted because you realize that that win went down. So 19 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:55,080 Speaker 1: how much is that trust in the veteran knowing how 20 00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:57,080 Speaker 1: you guys have worked together and you knowing that it's 21 00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,120 Speaker 1: not just I can do what I can do it 22 00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:03,160 Speaker 1: and that's the that's the hardest thing because the kicker 23 00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:05,440 Speaker 1: is gonna always tell you I can make it, you know, 24 00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:07,840 Speaker 1: and and you have to be realistic in the moment, 25 00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:13,120 Speaker 1: and you gotta be smart. You know, look at the situation. 26 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,080 Speaker 1: You know, where are we in the game, what's the score? 27 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,040 Speaker 1: You know, knowing that okay, if I missed this kick 28 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,600 Speaker 1: the field position, you know, just you gotta be smart 29 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:23,639 Speaker 1: and how you how you do it? And we trust Graham. 30 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:27,240 Speaker 1: Graham knows that he knows his range and he knows 31 00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:29,400 Speaker 1: the situations as they you know, as they come on. 32 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:33,960 Speaker 1: How does the indoor facility change your life? And the 33 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 1: three guys lives? You know, indoor outdoor doesn't I mean, 34 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:42,680 Speaker 1: it really doesn't matter us. We just show up at work, 35 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 1: you know. Uh. You know, obviously when you're playing inside, 36 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 1: you get an opportunity to come inside and get some work. 37 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 1: And that's that's really really good for those guys because 38 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,560 Speaker 1: they enjoy it, you know, obviously being able to strike 39 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:58,120 Speaker 1: the ball clean and I have to worry about the 40 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 1: conditions and all that stuff. So that's a obviously as 41 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 1: a specialist dream to kick indoors, but now they it's 42 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 1: it does help. So I mean there's Obviously that place 43 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 1: is different, you know, the Mellands, it's different. Practics, fields 44 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 1: are different, The winds come in all different directions depending 45 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,080 Speaker 1: on what fields you on how the wind. You know, 46 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 1: it's just different, you know, and it's good for us 47 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:19,800 Speaker 1: because we get a chance of work in different environments. 48 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,799 Speaker 1: But being inside homes, how much does it matter that 49 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:26,080 Speaker 1: that field goal unit team, you know, all kind of 50 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 1: get along. I talked to a couple of them yesterday. 51 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,800 Speaker 1: I mean they almost finished each other's sentences in a 52 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 1: way and stuff like that, Like watching the game. I 53 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:37,399 Speaker 1: don't think of that, but obviously you guys have to. Yeah, 54 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,359 Speaker 1: the synergy part of it is huge, you know when 55 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 1: you talk about the battery and those three three guys 56 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 1: in particular, Uh, you know, like you said, they finished 57 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:49,520 Speaker 1: each other sentence and they work so much together. They 58 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 1: are around each other so much. You know, from the 59 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:53,680 Speaker 1: time they walk in the building to the time that 60 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 1: they're leaving, always around each other. So I mean that 61 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,519 Speaker 1: the chemistry part of it is huge. Like right now, 62 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,639 Speaker 1: you know, we just got out of a meeting and 63 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:06,640 Speaker 1: we sat in there for thirty minutes just talking, you know, 64 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:08,960 Speaker 1: and just talking about how we're gonna approach things and 65 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 1: what our plan is for today and how we're gonna work. Okay, 66 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,680 Speaker 1: we're gonna work before practice, we're gonna work after practice 67 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 1: because you know, so all those things go into account 68 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 1: and then and and those guys chemistries. It's really really good. 69 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 1: We've asked the players a lot about you know, your 70 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 1: when you might get in I mean, as a coach, 71 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 1: do you when you see the playoffs right there? And 72 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 1: does it get your choosers flowing? You know, It's just 73 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 1: it's the day to day process. You know, you can't 74 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 1: really focus on what's down the road. You gotta focus 75 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 1: on now because if you take care of the now, 76 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 1: everything else will take care of itself. So today our 77 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 1: primary focus is just to go out and trying to 78 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 1: have the best practice we can have for to day. 79 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 1: I mean, that's and that's how you have to approach it, 80 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 1: because if you get too far ahead of yourself and 81 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 1: you start thinking about it's just it's crazy. So we 82 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 1: just trying to stick to the process and just take 83 00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 1: it day by day. You big down the stretch of season. 84 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 1: See know, all the seasons and some of a lot 85 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 1: of them around here lately have been there is obviously 86 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 1: no playoffs, you know, you mean you can can you know, 87 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 1: you can concentrate all the days and they do you want, 88 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 1: but you know when the seasons ending and it's gonna 89 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 1: go home. So do you find the vibe with your 90 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 1: guys and even the larger vibes. I know you kind 91 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,360 Speaker 1: of look at everything, um that it's easier to keep 92 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 1: these guys mentally into him, you know, focus and things, 93 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 1: because you know they know that might be something else 94 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 1: out there. Yeah, I mean that's I mean, that's that's 95 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 1: human nature. You know, when you know you're fighting and 96 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 1: you're playing for something. Uh, you know, you're just gonna 97 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,680 Speaker 1: go out every single day and do the best you 98 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 1: can possibly do. And uh and I think our group, 99 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 1: our group has done a good job of that. Guys 100 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,719 Speaker 1: are stuck to the process and uh and that's what 101 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,279 Speaker 1: we're focused on, just trying to make sure every single 102 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:45,840 Speaker 1: day we're trying to find a way to get better. 103 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 1: I don't land and play on special teams. He's a 104 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 1: guy like obviously it's a big time player and now 105 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 1: this stage was praying out to play special things. Must 106 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 1: he did? You know he's getting his feet wet, you 107 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,839 Speaker 1: know what I mean? Like he hasn't probably hadn't played 108 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 1: on special teams since he was in Alabama, you know, so, 109 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 1: but you know, he played a little bit as a rookie, 110 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:04,839 Speaker 1: but he's just you know, he's just getting used to 111 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 1: doing it. And he's a good athlete landing, big strong man. 112 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 1: It can run very instinctive. Uh, we're really really good 113 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 1: in space. So no, he's he's done a good job. 114 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 1: You've been around this league for and you've seen how 115 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:21,279 Speaker 1: things have changed. Um, even now, you know with the 116 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,039 Speaker 1: practice squads being expanded, so you have veterans who are 117 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 1: around on practice squad and then they're in your room. Um, 118 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 1: is that unique also to have a veteran like that 119 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 1: at this stage of his career. And do you sense 120 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 1: like a different buying from some of those guys because 121 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 1: you have a couple on this key. Yeah, I mean 122 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,719 Speaker 1: it's it's always good to have experience, you know, especially 123 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 1: guys that have been here in this building and that 124 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 1: have had success in the league and they're just good people, 125 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:49,480 Speaker 1: you know, guys that are pros. They come in, they 126 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 1: work every day and they're just trying to get better. 127 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 1: And that's you know for us having guys that are 128 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 1: veteran guys, you know, like Tony Jefferson, like like Landing. 129 00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,599 Speaker 1: You know, those guys are just Trim and his people 130 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:02,480 Speaker 1: and they come in, they worked the tails off and 131 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 1: they help the young guys, which is really really big 132 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 1: for our you know, mattur ration process of our team. 133 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 1: We've talked about it now, we're talking about it now. 134 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 1: I feel like the same conversation for several years. But 135 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 1: how much does uh Graham in your mind deserves to 136 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 1: make the Pro Bowl. That's something that that's announced tonight. 137 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:22,480 Speaker 1: You know, I mean his numbers speak for themselves. I 138 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 1: think you know he's been a Pro Bowl before. You 139 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 1: look at me seven or eight fifty yards and uh, 140 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 1: you know, that's that's hard to do, you know, kicking 141 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 1: in the Northeast. And you know, it's one thing to 142 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,920 Speaker 1: do it in a dome or in the South words 143 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 1: you know, seventy eight degrees or you've got a controlled 144 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,159 Speaker 1: environment like a dome. It's a whole another thing to 145 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 1: do it here in the Northeast. Like it just takes 146 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 1: a different animal. And uh, you know, Graham is is 147 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,840 Speaker 1: a hell of a player. He's a great pro and uh, 148 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 1: you know, if he doesn't make the Pro Bowl. He's 149 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,240 Speaker 1: not gonna cry. He'll be all right, you know, but 150 00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:01,039 Speaker 1: you know he's it is. Obviously you want your guys 151 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 1: to do well, but you know, if it doesn't happen, 152 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:05,920 Speaker 1: it is what it is. But he'll continue to keep 153 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 1: being r Oh, I have two more of that? Okay? 154 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:15,920 Speaker 1: How much can something very very small with that operation 155 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 1: throw it all completely off kilter, even with veterans. No, 156 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 1: it's you know, the smallest things make the biggest difference 157 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:30,240 Speaker 1: in our in our our sport, especially with the operation. 158 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:34,560 Speaker 1: So all little details of how we operate, uh, daily, 159 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:38,400 Speaker 1: you know, from the coming up getting warmed up, guys 160 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:40,480 Speaker 1: getting in the right spots, they're taking the warm up 161 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 1: steps there, you know, just all those things that go 162 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 1: into it, the small mundane things and stuff that the 163 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 1: average person looks at it like what is that? I mean, 164 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 1: it's just the steps, being consistent with the steps and 165 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 1: when hash your on and all those different small like 166 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 1: it makes a big difference. And uh, you have to 167 00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 1: be detailed and what you do and and you know, 168 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:04,120 Speaker 1: just being an awful little bit can make a big difference. 169 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 1: How about the idea though, that when you're undercover, but 170 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 1: when you're in that dome, no excuses.
