1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:06,960 Speaker 1: Alright, guys, how you doing far away go ahead picture. 2 00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:09,360 Speaker 1: Obviously as a team, you guys aren't getting the results. 3 00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:12,200 Speaker 1: But just on your side of the ball, what signs 4 00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:15,120 Speaker 1: of progress do you see, whether it's individual players are 5 00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:16,840 Speaker 1: just what do you feel like your unit has done 6 00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:20,120 Speaker 1: well with you? You know, the the one thing that 7 00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:23,680 Speaker 1: we've done well all years cover kickoffs and you know, 8 00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:25,320 Speaker 1: I want to say one or two in the league, 9 00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:28,159 Speaker 1: one of one of them, um, and that's what we 10 00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:30,280 Speaker 1: can build on. You know, we pride ourselves in a 11 00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:33,800 Speaker 1: way we cover kicks and we have to do we 12 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,800 Speaker 1: have to continue to get better. Right now, we're down 13 00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:39,000 Speaker 1: some guys, so we gotta find a way to keep 14 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,360 Speaker 1: doing what we've been doing, you know. And and and 15 00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:44,519 Speaker 1: obviously it starts at the top, but we're at the 16 00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:46,239 Speaker 1: bottom of the total polls. So what you see on 17 00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,360 Speaker 1: offense and defense is magnified on aria, you know. So 18 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:53,440 Speaker 1: we got, excuse me, a bunch of guys that haven't 19 00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:55,960 Speaker 1: got a ton of reps and they're gonna be asked 20 00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:58,840 Speaker 1: to play. He's gotta play well, you know. So that's 21 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,080 Speaker 1: just the reality of being spead teams coaching this league. 22 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:04,320 Speaker 1: You're gonna have injuries, and again he was talked about 23 00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,200 Speaker 1: all the time. You know, you just gotta gotta make 24 00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:08,560 Speaker 1: the gunboat and gotta make a taste right. So that's 25 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:13,479 Speaker 1: our job. We just gotta make it right. With Farrell 26 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 1: catching a lot of those punts deep, would you like 27 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:19,840 Speaker 1: him to let some of them bounce? I am perfectly 28 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,320 Speaker 1: fine with the ball being caught at the seven or 29 00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 1: the eight, all right. These guys are so good now, 30 00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 1: Like it's not like like it was earlier, like when 31 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:33,759 Speaker 1: I was playing and then earlier seven two thousand, Like, 32 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 1: these guys are outstanding at getting the ball down inside 33 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 1: the five yard line, you know, so, especially a guy 34 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 1: we're playing this week, the Australian, you know what I mean. So, 35 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:46,880 Speaker 1: and most of the time those balls are gonna be 36 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 1: the ones that hit at the eight yard line, that 37 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,240 Speaker 1: hit at the nine yard line, those are the ones 38 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 1: that end up inside the five. You know. Now, if 39 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 1: you feel the ball at the three yard line, that's 40 00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:58,320 Speaker 1: a whole different ball game, you know. But if if 41 00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:00,400 Speaker 1: we're catching the ball at the seven, I got no issue. 42 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 1: What is your It's it's an eight yard line. It's 43 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:06,560 Speaker 1: right right on the seven eight yard one right there, 44 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:10,079 Speaker 1: Especially as you know, the better the guy is that 45 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,360 Speaker 1: down to the ball inside the ten the you know, 46 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 1: that line is anywhere from seven to eight thom it's 47 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,520 Speaker 1: with the distance that the guys are kicking off and 48 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 1: the height they're getting in the hang time our returns 49 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:27,840 Speaker 1: the exception in pro foot flaw as opposed to you 50 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:32,600 Speaker 1: know you normally see guys bringing stuff back. Well, uh, 51 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,359 Speaker 1: it's harder now because of the rule change. Right. So 52 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 1: you know, back in the day, you can start off 53 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 1: in the tunnel and take off, you know, on on 54 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 1: a flying take off. You know, it's just but now 55 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,080 Speaker 1: it's not like that. You got one yard so and 56 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 1: then the hang time. Oh, it just depends on your 57 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 1: organization philosophy. You know, there are some people say, hey, 58 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 1: look the league averages. The drive starts twenty five, will 59 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 1: take the ball to five and then depending on who 60 00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,639 Speaker 1: you have back, they're returning the ball. You know, if 61 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:02,960 Speaker 1: you feel good about your guy bringing the ball out 62 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,120 Speaker 1: from five six deep, if you're Atlanta and you got 63 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 1: Cordeild Patterson back there, you have a whole different way 64 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 1: of how you're gonna approach the game because you feel 65 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 1: like at any point in time, the ball across the fifty, 66 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 1: it could cross the forty, or it could go to 67 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 1: the house. You know. So it just depends on your 68 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 1: philosophy and how, uh how you view the play. You know, 69 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 1: there are teams in our division that view to play differently, 70 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 1: all right, and and just the league in general. You know. 71 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 1: So I think it's an organization thing. I think it's 72 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 1: a coaching philosophy thing. And uh, you know, and goes 73 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 1: from team to team. How different as returners are gregor Watkins, Gaing, Well, 74 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 1: they're all very talent, They're all you have unique features 75 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 1: about him. You know. Obviously Jalen very very talented. Uh, 76 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,800 Speaker 1: stick his foot the grounds, chain direction, make cuts at 77 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 1: full speed. Uh, He's a very talented kid. Uh gain well, hard, 78 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 1: straight fast type runner, you know, coming out of Memphis, 79 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 1: and you see it like you the game last week 80 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 1: where he had a return opportunity, he hits it, you know, 81 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 1: And and Watkins is kind of like a hybrid of 82 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 1: both of those guys. You know. But uh, you know, 83 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:17,719 Speaker 1: they got a talented group, they got teams wise, you know, 84 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,159 Speaker 1: Coach Clay has done a really good job of trying 85 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,600 Speaker 1: to build a good corps and their formidable group. You's 86 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:27,840 Speaker 1: got to be ready for all three of at all. 87 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 1: For Graham, I mean, how did you did you did 88 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:35,359 Speaker 1: you think you had a chance. I mean, anytime you're 89 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:39,159 Speaker 1: almost ninety percent, you always got a chance. Um, but 90 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,040 Speaker 1: you know you missed four field goals and in a 91 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 1: year where guys are missing one and uh, but I'm 92 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 1: always when you this is this, this voting thing is 93 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,600 Speaker 1: a little different. Guys that mentalities are different. You know, 94 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 1: back in the day, guys that that kicked in the 95 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 1: freaking dome or in warm weather didn't get a whole 96 00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,880 Speaker 1: lot of consideration regardless of how many kicks they made. 97 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 1: I mean, you're kicking this stadium. You do what what 98 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 1: Justin Tucker's doing in in Baltimore kicking in that place 99 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 1: and having the kind of you know, percentage that he has. 100 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:13,599 Speaker 1: You know, it's a whole lot of different kicking in 101 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 1: the dome or you know, you've got nine games in 102 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 1: the Dome or eight games in the Dome and you're 103 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:20,599 Speaker 1: playing in the a f C South and you know, 104 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 1: or you're playing in the you know, the NFC West 105 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,359 Speaker 1: or whatever where it's warm and you're playing that's a 106 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 1: whole different ball game than playing in this because they're 107 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,040 Speaker 1: all freezing on. You got a freaking hoodie on their clubs, 108 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So, but it's to me, 109 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 1: it's just it's a totally different deal that that's just 110 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 1: and you got to understand what you're looking at. Most 111 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 1: of people are voting on us having no idea what 112 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 1: they look at it. He just is there a cross 113 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 1: win last week because Zoline had won that one. Yeah, 114 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 1: it was. It was pretty nasty. It's it was. It 115 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,040 Speaker 1: was in his head a little bit because he struggled 116 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 1: all pre game with it and that first extra point 117 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:02,039 Speaker 1: that he kicked it was really bad because it went 118 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,159 Speaker 1: up and as soon as the ball got up in 119 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,159 Speaker 1: the air, it was it was just a gust and 120 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 1: it you know, it's a good kick. It was just 121 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 1: the gust of wind just hit it. And that's that's 122 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 1: the difference between being at home in Dallas and being 123 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 1: in MetLife. It's a big difference, you know, playing in 124 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 1: the Northeast, it's different.
