1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:06,520
Speaker 1: It's up for everybody. Yeah, how's your day going. It's

3
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 1: We'll see what tomorrow brings New England weather run every Now.

4
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 1: What what do you stand? You know, you go through

5
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:21,639
Speaker 1: the Cowboys today as you start to prepare it. Yeah,

6
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 1: what stands out to them? I guess from the special

7
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 1: team's perspective. They're a good team all the way around,

8
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 1: and special teams is included in that. They got some

9
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:35,479
Speaker 1: good playmakers, you know, guys returning the ball, real talented um,

10
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 1: a lot of size, a lot of speed. You know,

11
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 1: a good team, real good team should be a good show.

12
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 1: You Cowboys fan growing up? Hey, you were close to Houston,

13
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:48,479
Speaker 1: but yeah, reach far. I think my dad rooted for

14
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 1: them for a while when they were winning. It's kind

15
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 1: of fan. Yes, what was it like for you just

16
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 1: to get to go back playing Houston last week? It

17
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 1: was awesome. I've been. I tell people, I've been the

18
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:05,199
Speaker 1: more rodeos in that stadium than I've been in football games.

19
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 1: The Houston Livestock Showing Rodeo grew up going to that

20
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: as many times as I could. A whole month of

21
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: them selling out that place, for concerts and bull riding,

22
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 1: So it's cool to see it in a football setting

23
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 1: and especially get to play on it. Ye, have any

24
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 1: family there, and I don't know if last year with

25
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 1: everything else, Yeah, they still went last year because Houston

26
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 1: was one of the teams that allowed fans. But yeah,

27
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:26,679
Speaker 1: all my people were there. It was a great. It

28
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 1: was great to see all them kind of the red

29
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:33,199
Speaker 1: soccer playing in the astros. Yeah, yeah, are you scorn

30
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 1: right now? Ghost Socks, not at all? I was yeah, no,

31
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: Ryan alb and all that. Oh yeah, yeah for sure.

32
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 1: But now I'm a Boston guy, right. I want to

33
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 1: ask you to do an accident. How close do you

34
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: feel you got there to the breaking sort of a

35
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 1: big one depart whether the department turn. I don't know, man,

36
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 1: that's a good question. It could be anytime. It takes.

37
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 1: The cool thing about those plays, it takes eleven guys

38
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: all doing their job. And we've been close a couple

39
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 1: of times, and uh, it's just kind of always a

40
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 1: chaotic playing special teams. You know, it takes a lot

41
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,399
Speaker 1: of things going right. But those guys work their tell

42
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 1: off for me back there and always tell him don't

43
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: don't quit on a play because I sure ain't you know,

44
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 1: so we'll see you feel year basically the best returner

45
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 1: in the league. Like you're getting in different Bible attention

46
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,959
Speaker 1: this year from not media attention, but teams like, you know,

47
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:32,920
Speaker 1: specifically game than for you to stop. Yeah, I'm sure after.

48
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 1: I mean, the same thing we do when we go

49
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 1: over the film of whoever we're playing return wise, they

50
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: tell us, you know this guy, he runs hard, he's

51
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 1: a one cut kind of guy, and I'm sure, Um,

52
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:44,519
Speaker 1: it seems like this year the guys are really flying

53
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,920
Speaker 1: around and getting to the ball getting hit by all

54
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: eleven guys. It feels like sometimes but I think it's

55
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,519
Speaker 1: pretty cool that now, Um, I have to get better.

56
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 1: I have to be more prepared. In our team as

57
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 1: a whole has to be more prepared if we want

58
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 1: to get some big ones. We're not gonna surprise anybody anymore.

59
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 1: Can you change was like, I guess it's my question.

60
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 1: Can you change your running style on the all or

61
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 1: is it you know, because you mentioned like, oh, this

62
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 1: guy's a one cut guy, you kind of dec them

63
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: a little, I mean, make it look like it's one

64
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 1: cut and something else, or you just have to just

65
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 1: go on the blocking scheme and your instinct when you

66
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,519
Speaker 1: catch the ball. I'd say that plays a complete instinct play.

67
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,399
Speaker 1: It's one of those plays where it's so much fun

68
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 1: because you turn your brain off for it and may

69
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 1: it's supposed to go right or supposed to go left.

70
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 1: But um, you just read blockers, leverage and no plays

71
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: like any other like and that's special teams in general.

72
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:31,919
Speaker 1: I'd say, what was your vantage point on the baby

73
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 1: pond or whatever they did? I know you had to

74
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: kind of run up, run back. Were you ready for

75
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 1: that or guard at all? Or I was. I was

76
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 1: a bit surprised, but but I I know my rules.

77
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 1: I'm not going to get into my rules. I'm not

78
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 1: gonna tell the whole world. But when I see slight

79
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: check something, I know what I gotta do. And they

80
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: we did great. We didn't go over that in practice,

81
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: but we all knew our rules from previous weeks and

82
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 1: they get They gave it to us and we were

83
00:03:55,560 --> 00:04:00,120
Speaker 1: prepared and they made a mistake and we didn't. I

84
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 1: don't know if you saw a quote last week from

85
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 1: nine Hinds about being a puck returner, see this at all.

86
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 1: I've read it for you. I know he's an Indianapolis

87
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 1: Guys returner, and I guess he was asked about that

88
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: job I said, before I go back there, I say,

89
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,280
Speaker 1: I don't care about my life every time. It's like

90
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 1: a special type of person to look up in the

91
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 1: year while other people are looking to rip your head off.

92
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 1: Do you do you share that approach? I don't know.

93
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: I think it's fun. I don't think you have to

94
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:31,720
Speaker 1: put your life on the line and you're not going

95
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 1: to overseas to war or anything. But it's a fun

96
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: play and it you can get hit hard. Um, Yeah,

97
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,160
Speaker 1: I can relate to it. I guess that seems like

98
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: a bit much to me. Fair to put your wealth

99
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 1: beating aside, though, you know, to a certain extent. Yeah,

100
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 1: that's that's football, though, Man, that's we all signed the

101
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 1: dotted line on a contract. We get paid X amount,

102
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:55,720
Speaker 1: and you know it's a physical game and that's what

103
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 1: separates from a lot of others. Your bodies are clashing

104
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: out there. Yeah, what you meant by turning off your

105
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,239
Speaker 1: brain when you go off that, Yeah, you can't be thinking,

106
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 1: you think you you think too slow. You know your

107
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 1: brain will just slow you down. Might as well just

108
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: get rid of it before you go out there all

109
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: the time kind of had different last question returns versus

110
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:21,239
Speaker 1: Pope returns to you. Um, I think it's much harder.

111
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 1: I think you just kind of got to run through

112
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 1: the smoke. There's not as much reads going on. You

113
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 1: hope the holes are where your game planning for it,

114
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 1: and you kind of run there and if you can't

115
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 1: make a cup of that, play happens extremely fast because

116
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 1: they're running as fast as they can. Um. Yeah, it's

117
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,839
Speaker 1: it's it's different, different and the same, but it's just more, Um,

118
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 1: you gotta go fast, real fast. Thank you, go ahead

119
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: than good to see you.
