1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:02,680 Speaker 1: Be honest, you know the illegal kick rule when it 2 00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:06,720 Speaker 1: happened or I've never seen it before, honestly, it was. 3 00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:09,360 Speaker 1: It was It's been a year first for me. That's 4 00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:15,680 Speaker 1: one of them. I've never seen that play happened. So again, 5 00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:19,680 Speaker 1: you're living your learn So what's the difference between like 6 00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:22,279 Speaker 1: a drop kick at a funball? It's just the judgment 7 00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:25,000 Speaker 1: call of what of the official? Yeah, but I mean 8 00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:28,880 Speaker 1: obviously when you you know, as he's attempting to catch it, 9 00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:32,199 Speaker 1: you have to pick it up and then drop it 10 00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:34,880 Speaker 1: on the ground. So I mean it's it's one smooth 11 00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:38,680 Speaker 1: continuous motion that was obviously was not a smooth continuous motion. 12 00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:41,199 Speaker 1: So it was kind of an easy call for the officials. 13 00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:46,559 Speaker 1: That was, well, we were playing where their punter got 14 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:48,080 Speaker 1: hurt too, what do you what do you want? I 15 00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:49,720 Speaker 1: would say that was a weird play where their punter 16 00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:53,680 Speaker 1: got hurt, scooped the ball and what do you want 17 00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:57,080 Speaker 1: from your guys on that planet? Uh, chase him down 18 00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:01,160 Speaker 1: and do exactly what they did. You know, that's just 19 00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:04,240 Speaker 1: the skill that he's learned in Australian rules football, that's 20 00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:06,280 Speaker 1: one of the skills that they have. And I mean 21 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,000 Speaker 1: it was just a natural one, smooth, fluid motion, and 22 00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:12,120 Speaker 1: he picked it up and smart played by him. But 23 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,200 Speaker 1: any know, anytime the ball is behind the line of 24 00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:16,560 Speaker 1: scrimmage is blocked and it's behind the line of scrimmage, 25 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:20,080 Speaker 1: both teams get advanced. So he knew the rule and 26 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:22,959 Speaker 1: he went and got it. How tricky though, is that? 27 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:25,480 Speaker 1: How tricky though is that when you have to decide 28 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:28,120 Speaker 1: like whether it's test the line of scrimmage or not. 29 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:29,960 Speaker 1: Like you right when it goes past, you don't want 30 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,240 Speaker 1: you guys to touch it. So like when it's near 31 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:33,880 Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage, what do you what do you 32 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,200 Speaker 1: sort of teach them to do at that point? Well, 33 00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:39,320 Speaker 1: once the ball, if it's anywhere close, we're going to 34 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:41,560 Speaker 1: get away from the ball, all right, So we'll give 35 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 1: him a poison call. Poison call specially if it's at 36 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage. But you know, as a punt team, 37 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,640 Speaker 1: you got you gotta cover it either way. And then 38 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 1: as a punt return team, you just gotta make a 39 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 1: good judgment call. I mean, it's you gotta see the 40 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 1: flight of the ball and then normally it's pretty clear 41 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 1: it's behind the line strem it is not behind the 42 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,080 Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. But you gotta be aggressive and you 43 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 1: gotta be smart at the same time. Are you sure 44 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,600 Speaker 1: all your players and then heat of that moment, no, 45 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:14,359 Speaker 1: exactly what the rule is as far as as far 46 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 1: as the ball being behind the line of scrimmage, and 47 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:18,639 Speaker 1: they know the rule, and we talked about all the time. 48 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 1: You know, we go through situations every week that happened 49 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,520 Speaker 1: throughout the league. We covered every Saturday night ball behind 50 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 1: line of scrimmage, ball across the line of scrimmage, players 51 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 1: out of bounds on punts, holding calls, penalties like we 52 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:33,520 Speaker 1: go through the full game it throughout the league. So 53 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 1: that's just yeah, we've we've covered it multiple times. The 54 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 1: question becomes to judging whether it is or not. Exactly 55 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 1: what did Gilbert tell you about why he didn't hit 56 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 1: the punter there? Did he see him step out? Zion 57 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 1: Gilbert on the I think he thought he might have 58 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,800 Speaker 1: stepped out and didn't want to get a penalty right 59 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:54,919 Speaker 1: there on the sideline because that's just like a quarterback, 60 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,639 Speaker 1: you know, quarterbacks close to the sideline, he steps out 61 00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,160 Speaker 1: of bounds. You know, you gotta be smart and we're 62 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 1: always on these guys about making smart plays, especially when 63 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,920 Speaker 1: because quarterbacks and punters are allowed basically the same protection. 64 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,200 Speaker 1: So you've got to be smart in that situation pure 65 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 1: to kickoff for oh, just not getting off blocks, you 66 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:22,799 Speaker 1: know there when the ball is kicked, we're covering down 67 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:28,920 Speaker 1: the field. Um, you know, I'll say this, there are 68 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 1: some things that happened on the plate that could have 69 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 1: been seen, and you know it is what it is, right, 70 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 1: So but we gotta do a better job of getting 71 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 1: off blocks using our hands and getting to the ball carry. 72 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,000 Speaker 1: And that's something we've been talking about all week and 73 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 1: we've been working on. Did you scheme up the other 74 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 1: sudden block or was that just him in his length 75 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 1: or yeah, it's uh, it's a block that we've had 76 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 1: all year, especially for that situation. Uh, Aaron does a 77 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 1: really good job of getting the ball off quick. And 78 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 1: we knew the only chance we had is to rush 79 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,120 Speaker 1: directly up to a gap and you had to have 80 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 1: somebody with some link to get there. So he did 81 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:17,159 Speaker 1: exactly what he's supposed to do, rush right on the 82 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 1: edge and get that big long arm up thirty five 83 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 1: in arm up in the a gap and he did 84 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 1: a good job. He's better healthy scratch for a few games. 85 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,280 Speaker 1: I kind of get your jersey for the next week. 86 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 1: You block a punt in your eyes at least? Well, yeah, 87 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 1: it's yeah, it's a slippery slope. But you know, obviously 88 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 1: I'm an Ellis Smith fan. You uh, Graham does such 89 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,839 Speaker 1: a good job getting touchbacks that it was surprising actually 90 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 1: even see them have kick returns. Is it windy or cold? 91 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 1: Is that why? Or did you want with something you 92 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:54,159 Speaker 1: wanted or no, it was it was a little windy 93 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:58,159 Speaker 1: and it's cold. I mean just third eight degrees and yeah, 94 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,080 Speaker 1: I mean it's you know, we can line I have 95 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,720 Speaker 1: it down there, but you'd also take a chance of 96 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,239 Speaker 1: him catching the ball four or five yards deep and 97 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 1: you know, bringing it out. So yeah, we were trying 98 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 1: to kick it deep. But you know that's that's the 99 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,720 Speaker 1: simber football in the Northeast. You know, this week we're 100 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 1: gonna play Washington. It's gonna be degrees or whatever. It's 101 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 1: gonna be with some win, that's what it is. You know. 102 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:23,720 Speaker 1: It's Yeah, how comfortable did you be with mckinn's if 103 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,479 Speaker 1: he has to be back there on Sunday night? You know, 104 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 1: he's done it. He's done it for six years now 105 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:34,840 Speaker 1: and he's more than capable. So you know it's uh 106 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 1: and wouldn't bother me at all. What about Pimpleton? What 107 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 1: do you see from him? Young kid? That's you know, 108 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 1: ascending and uh, he's getting better every week. He's super talented, 109 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,159 Speaker 1: super quick, he's he's hard to get on the ground. 110 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 1: Our guys struggled with him all the time. But he 111 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 1: has a he has a definite skill sets. He's gonna 112 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 1: be all right. He's he does a good job. He 113 00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:01,160 Speaker 1: he works his tail off that last one. If you 114 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,360 Speaker 1: gotta struggle bringing him down, why not why not see 115 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,480 Speaker 1: if other teams would say it again, if you got 116 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:08,920 Speaker 1: to struggle to bring people him down, why not see 117 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 1: if other teams would. That's that's way above my pay grade. 118 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,200 Speaker 1: I just coach the guys that I get, all right. 119 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:16,680 Speaker 1: So but now he does a good job and he's 120 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,960 Speaker 1: a he's talent, a kid that has a bright future.
