1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,760
Speaker 1: Talks on the guys you have auditioning for a punt return.

2
00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:06,439
Speaker 1: I mean, you've got some veterans've got some young guys, theramies,

3
00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:10,719
Speaker 1: anybody kind of stuff out there now. I mean we're

4
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 1: in shorts, you know, nobody's covering punts and we didn't

5
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 1: play the game yet, so uh, but all those guys

6
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:18,320
Speaker 1: are over there working, you know, and that's the most

7
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:21,079
Speaker 1: important thing. We're trying to develop some young guys, some

8
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 1: of the older guys, just keeping them fresh, you know. Uh,

9
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:26,479
Speaker 1: but it's a good group. We've got a lot of

10
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,319
Speaker 1: options and uh, we just look forward to getting better

11
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 1: and working at it and making that one of our

12
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 1: strengths this year. But that said, since you are in shorts,

13
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:38,239
Speaker 1: I mean, how much can you engage from watching, you know,

14
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:41,319
Speaker 1: a punt return? I think and all that, it's more

15
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:44,239
Speaker 1: fundamentals and techniques for us. In the spring, we we

16
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 1: do a lot of drill work. We do a ton

17
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:50,879
Speaker 1: of a little small detailed things are gonna help us

18
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 1: schematically once we move forward. So it's whole part whole,

19
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:56,959
Speaker 1: will work the parts of it right now, and then

20
00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 1: eventually as we move forward, we'll put the whole piece together.

21
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 1: It and uh, you know, just keep working from there.

22
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:07,039
Speaker 1: Is Rod Smith a big edition for your unit. As

23
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 1: as asking Sherman yesterday about him as a back, and

24
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 1: he basically said, well, he's an invaluable on special teams.

25
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:16,959
Speaker 1: So why is he so valuable? A big, strong, athletic,

26
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 1: smart playmaker. You know, whenever you can get a guy

27
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 1: like that on your roster to provide depth and having

28
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 1: value as a running back. Uh, you know because coach

29
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 1: Mr Gedlman always talks about having value on offense and defense,

30
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,679
Speaker 1: not just on special teams. So he he punches all

31
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 1: the tickets. And uh, he's a hard worker, he's a pro.

32
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 1: He does everything you're ask him to do. Uh you know,

33
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 1: he's six ft three, two thirty five pounds and has

34
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 1: a skill set. And he's one of those guys if

35
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: you know, if you're sitting in the room, you won't

36
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 1: even know he's there. He's just quiet. He comes in,

37
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 1: he works and he does his job. We've all seen

38
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 1: your brill your Perl's ability return punts. Do you always

39
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 1: hesitate when you have starter throwing him back there? Not

40
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: at all. It's a playmaking position. And uh, you know,

41
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 1: when you think about over the years and you watch

42
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 1: punk returners that have had success that have played on defense,

43
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: the Dion Sanders and all those guys. I mean, that's

44
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 1: a playmaking position. That's one of those positions where you

45
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,519
Speaker 1: can you can change the game just like that. And

46
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 1: I have no reservation by putting any kind of starter

47
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 1: back there because that's a that's that's that's a play

48
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 1: that can change the game. And you know, and we

49
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 1: know games the NFL come down the last possession, you know,

50
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 1: so anytime you can gain an advantage on your opponent,

51
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:40,119
Speaker 1: you want to get that advantage. Yea. Do you view

52
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 1: the return jobs as like a job for someone to

53
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: win and then hold until they lose it? Or because

54
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 1: you have a lot of guys who can do both

55
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: punt and kick, would you envision it more as a

56
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 1: rotation and giving everybody a shot. Yeah. You never know

57
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,800
Speaker 1: how it shakes out, you know. Uh. It could be

58
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 1: a situation where, uh, you know, Brill might just went

59
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 1: on the nine route and you know, he's tired, he's blowing,

60
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 1: He's like, hey, come on, come on, throw Corey out there,

61
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Or it could be a

62
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: situation where you're Brill is fresh, we'll stay in there,

63
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,079
Speaker 1: all right, Core, you stay right here, all right. Or

64
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: it could be a you know, who knows Darry Slayton,

65
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 1: or it's a plus area, they'll get golden taking there.

66
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 1: Make sure we catch the ball, you know, just it could.

67
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: It's a lot of different scenarios and it's good to

68
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 1: have options. You know, last year we didn't have a

69
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 1: lot of options. So now we've got a bunch of options.

70
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 1: And uh, you know, we look forward to being able

71
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 1: to execute a high level and do those things. You know,

72
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,079
Speaker 1: once we get put in those situations, will work them.

73
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: But it's good to have those options. Definitely,
