1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:02,920
Speaker 1: What do you do for a funder in that place?

2
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:06,880
Speaker 1: You go find one? All right, now we have some

3
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:09,559
Speaker 1: guys in the building that's already on the roster. Uh.

4
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:12,600
Speaker 1: You know, obviously we're gonna create some competition there and

5
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 1: add a piece or two. Uh. See what happens commas?

6
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:20,680
Speaker 1: What kind of message does it send a Special Teams corp? There?

7
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:23,920
Speaker 1: But also you know the team when it seems like

8
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 1: every free agent that you guys made except makes older,

9
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 1: but HUDOS has that special team's background and not just

10
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 1: the background, but they've excelled in that role. Um. Do

11
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 1: you see those pieces all all of a sudden coming

12
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 1: together before you even get those guys in this building? Absolutely?

13
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,559
Speaker 1: I think that obviously, from the top down, we understand

14
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 1: the imports of special teams and field position and being

15
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 1: able to impact the game. And I think that, you know,

16
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 1: obviously with the moves that we've made, we're making strides

17
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 1: in that direction and we look forward to getting better.

18
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:06,039
Speaker 1: Like guy like Mike Thomas. Uh, I've imagine he was absolutely, Um,

19
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 1: you know, Mike is ultimate competitor. Uh. He does an

20
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:13,400
Speaker 1: outstanding job in the coverage game. Uh, he's a smart player.

21
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 1: I'm kind of biased towards Mike. He's a Houston guy

22
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 1: and a good friend of mine. David Sucks was this

23
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: high school coach who gave me my first job. So

24
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 1: there's some background there. But Mike is is a high

25
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 1: impact player and we look forward to him making big plays.

26
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 1: He sometimes spect student coach to say, well, you know,

27
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 1: we'll see what the fifty three is on the game day,

28
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 1: and I'm will kind of renewver guys around. But like

29
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: I said, I mean that when the resumes of guys

30
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,759
Speaker 1: who you signed, like a you know, Cody is another one,

31
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 1: I gotta imagine it. It's you're not hiding the intent here,

32
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 1: Oh absolutely. I mean you always want to be the best,

33
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 1: and I think that when you when you look at

34
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: building the roster, you know, from the top down to

35
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: bottom up, you got you gotta have those pieces, and

36
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 1: I think those pieces are extremely important for us to

37
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: move forward as a as a unit, as a team,

38
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 1: to to get back to where I want to be,

39
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 1: Coach Al Gross, it's really inconsistent last year. What do

40
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: you see as far as you know, because as far

41
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 1: as his opportunity years still, I see a kid that

42
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: was a rookie last year and like most rookies in

43
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 1: this league, they're inconsistent. It's it's it's rare where you

44
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 1: see a rookie that just comes in and just rips

45
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 1: it up, you know, just walking through the door. He's young.

46
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 1: Uh and and like you know, like uh, like David

47
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: Gettlman always says, you know, we're not gonna give up

48
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 1: on talent. He's a talented guy. And there's some things

49
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,799
Speaker 1: that he can do a lot of people that can't do.

50
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 1: And I think there's some talent there. And where we're

51
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: gonna work with that town. What's it like coming back

52
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 1: to It's great. It's like coming back home. I mean

53
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 1: it really is. When you walk in this building, you know,

54
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 1: you spent so many hours in this building, and and

55
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: and being in this indoor facility now and seeing the

56
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,839
Speaker 1: banners and and uh, you know, being able to see

57
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 1: the view of the city from the practice field. It's

58
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 1: very few places on this earth, like like the New

59
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 1: York Giants, and uh, it's it's really good to be

60
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:10,519
Speaker 1: bad
