Tatum Everett. Today we have the 5 00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:34,120 Speaker 1: special privilege of being joined by the specialist of this 6 00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:37,240 Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings team. I'm gonna start to the far left 7 00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:40,440 Speaker 1: over here mister Andrew depaula Vikings long snapper, and to 8 00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:44,360 Speaker 1: his right is Vikings punter Ryan. Right, Fellas, how are 9 00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:47,640 Speaker 1: we doing today? Awesome? Being good? Right, Thanks for having us. Andrew. 10 00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:49,920 Speaker 1: It was your fifth time playing in your hometown of 11 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:53,080 Speaker 1: Maryland this past Sunday. But Ryan, this question is for you. 12 00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:57,400 Speaker 1: What was Andrew's mood like going into going home for 13 00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,440 Speaker 1: the first time in a couple of years. Oh, he 14 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,080 Speaker 1: was excited to go home. He was able to see 15 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,560 Speaker 1: his brothers, his wife, and he was able to go 16 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 1: out there to watch him play. So I think he 17 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:08,920 Speaker 1: was pretty pumped for the game. I'm sure tickets were 18 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:12,440 Speaker 1: probably you probably had asked for extra tickets though, right, Yeah. So, 19 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:14,640 Speaker 1: like usually when I go back and play in Maryland, 20 00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:16,400 Speaker 1: my parents kind of play interference with all the tickets 21 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 1: stuff because they don't want people to hit me up, 22 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 1: so they're just like, hey, everyone just talk to us. 23 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:26,320 Speaker 1: Did you want tickets? So for sure? For sure. Also, 24 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 1: while if you're a fan of the show, you know 25 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,199 Speaker 1: that we start this show off with a game called 26 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 1: two Truths and a Lie. You guys have already read 27 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 1: your cards. Andrew, We're going to start with you, Ryan. 28 00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 1: It's up to you to figure out which sentences about 29 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,040 Speaker 1: Andrew are true, which two are true, and which one 30 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,959 Speaker 1: is a lie? Floyd's or is Andrew? You ready? Can 31 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:45,600 Speaker 1: I just call you depot from here on not because 32 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,080 Speaker 1: that's what coach Matt Daniels called you, called you. Can 33 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 1: we just call you deep? Okay? Yeah, it kind of 34 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 1: feels a little weird being called Andrews. Okay, I think 35 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:53,480 Speaker 1: this is gonna be a little more natural. All right, 36 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 1: you ready, I'm ready? Okay. I opened up my own 37 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:59,120 Speaker 1: bagel shop called De Paula's Bagel and Brunch Next one 38 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,640 Speaker 1: after I began a seasonal shift in the Winner of 39 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 1: twenty ten at best Buy, where I offloaded trucks and 40 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 1: restocked shelves. Next one. I am the only player in 41 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,360 Speaker 1: Rutger's history to be offered a football scholarship as a 42 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 1: long snapper coming out of high school. Third ones A lie, Okay, 43 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:21,400 Speaker 1: that was pretty quick. But you did open up your 44 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 1: own bagel shop, correct? Can you explain that because Tatum? 45 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,519 Speaker 1: I saw Tatum and a few people here a couple 46 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:30,840 Speaker 1: of weeks ago. I had on like the Paulos bagels. Yeah. Yeah, 47 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 1: that was great, by the way, good product placement. Yeah. So, 48 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, my wife and I had 49 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,799 Speaker 1: moved to so little area called Ken Island in the 50 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:41,640 Speaker 1: middle of the Chesapeake Bay. Kind of going to school 51 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 1: in Jersey for eight years, I got used to having 52 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 1: a nice little bagel sandwich in the morning and there 53 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,480 Speaker 1: wasn't really anything like that in our area. So we 54 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 1: were like, we looked into options that maybe franchise in 55 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 1: a place, bringing something to the island, and we were 56 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,639 Speaker 1: just like, you know what, let's just start our own place. 57 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 1: So my parents have a bar restaurant back home, they 58 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 1: do breakfast on the weekends, walked with them. We kind 59 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:02,919 Speaker 1: of came up with this idea to start our own 60 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,080 Speaker 1: place and just kind of jumping with both feet. So 61 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:06,960 Speaker 1: that's what we did. I was kind of ask if 62 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:08,919 Speaker 1: the restaurant business seems like such a hard thing to 63 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 1: break into, but you obviously have a background in it. 64 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 1: Did you grow up around that environment sort of? Yeah, 65 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:14,799 Speaker 1: my dad had a couple of bars when I was 66 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 1: a kid growing up. It wasn't very conducive to having 67 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 1: four kids at young kids at the time, So, um, 68 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:22,520 Speaker 1: he got out of that business, and then I guess 69 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 1: he always had a niche to get back into it. 70 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:28,960 Speaker 1: So twenty twelve they opened up by restaurant and still 71 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:33,240 Speaker 1: have them. What about the restaurant industry interests you interest me? Yeah? 72 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 1: Your family? Oh, my family, like my families? Want to answer, Well, 73 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 1: my dad enjoys cooking. He's a he's a great cook. 74 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 1: He likes entertaining, he likes talking to people, he likes 75 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 1: chopping it up. I think that's kind of what really 76 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 1: draws him to it. Me. I just saw a need 77 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 1: and wanted to fill that need. So what's your favorite time? 78 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:52,839 Speaker 1: A bagel sandwich? I like a sausage, egg and cheese 79 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 1: on everything bagel. Sounds great, right about? Yeah? That looks 80 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,720 Speaker 1: that sounds amazing on you, Ryan, Because I got some 81 00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 1: more questions for you, Andrew, but I want to make 82 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 1: sure we get to your two truths in the list, 83 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 1: all right. First one, I was ranked the forty seventh 84 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 1: best pro style quarterback as well as the fourth best 85 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 1: punter in high school after my junior year. Okay. Second one, 86 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 1: I went to a Division two school to play quarterback 87 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 1: for a semester before transferring to Tulane University during my 88 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,720 Speaker 1: freshman year. Third one, I'm one of four punters in 89 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 1: the NFL today that is zero touchbacks. Okay, kind of 90 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 1: give him some easy ones for me. I'm just gonna 91 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 1: go with b. You're right, I was a guest, by 92 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 1: the way, but it wasn't. Yeah, I mean because like 93 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 1: it kind of makes sense, you know. I figured I've 94 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:36,840 Speaker 1: told I definitely told you that I played four years 95 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 1: at Tulane. Yeah, but it was a semester, right was 96 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 1: You said you went one semester with a question, right? 97 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 1: One semester? Yeah, I guess, but you never but you 98 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:50,360 Speaker 1: almost chose a Division two school over two lane right. Stories. 99 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,920 Speaker 1: So after my junior season, I was given that quarterback 100 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 1: ranking and I was given drawing a little bit of interest. 101 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 1: But I had to make a tough decision after my 102 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 1: junior season to focus more on punting. Obviously, it worked out. 103 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:09,279 Speaker 1: But after my junior season, some smaller schools like Puget 104 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 1: Sound I think, and I want to say cal Poly 105 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 1: gave me some walk on opportunities to go play quarterback, 106 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,040 Speaker 1: but I chose punning. Did any school offer you a 107 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 1: chance choice to do both? No? Or try it out? 108 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 1: Figure out which one. No. It's amazing you learned so 109 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,679 Speaker 1: much about your teammates on this show. I mean, gosh, 110 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 1: and one thing I was reading because depot you went 111 00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 1: to Rutgers and Ryan went to You went to a 112 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 1: camp at Ruggers as a punter, but they had you 113 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 1: come through passes. Can you explain this? Yeah? I went 114 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:41,279 Speaker 1: to go to their punting camp or specialist camp, and 115 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:45,240 Speaker 1: pretty much how it was going to happen, was the 116 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 1: best punter there was going to be offered. Um, that 117 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 1: wasn't the case. They ended up going to Australian route 118 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 1: and actually they got a great punter and Adam Corsack. 119 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 1: But yeah, they had me go down to the to 120 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:59,279 Speaker 1: their stadium. What's they're saying called it's you don't even know, okay, 121 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 1: but yeah, they had me throw a few routes to 122 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:05,279 Speaker 1: them and I thought I threw well, but that was 123 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,039 Speaker 1: what year were either and what year was that that was? 124 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 1: I think twenty seventeen. I was just seeing if I 125 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 1: worked the camp or something. It's the reason why you're 126 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 1: not no. That's so it's interesting that you guys both 127 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:22,120 Speaker 1: have quarterback backgrounds as well. I mean, we've seen you 128 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,679 Speaker 1: throw a pass already this season. Will will we ever 129 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 1: see anything? I doubt it. I mean, you see me 130 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,719 Speaker 1: snap that's like kind of similar. You don't throw between 131 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 1: your legs. But as far as downfield, I think I 132 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,920 Speaker 1: can confilantly say no, what probably probably how was that transition? 133 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:39,719 Speaker 1: I guess I'll sorry with you Andrew like going like 134 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,039 Speaker 1: making that decision, Like you know, I love this position 135 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,760 Speaker 1: of play this position for however many years, but this 136 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:48,280 Speaker 1: is where I can see longevity. I mean, if I'm 137 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,279 Speaker 1: being honest, I didn't see the longevity. Like it wasn't me. 138 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 1: I think so my coach at the time in college, 139 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 1: he kind of had the wherewithal in the vision to 140 00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,599 Speaker 1: be like, hey, this is something you can pursue and 141 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,520 Speaker 1: you know, possibly play for a long time at the 142 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:03,640 Speaker 1: next level. And you know, being a kid at the time, 143 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:05,560 Speaker 1: you know you're just like, yeah, okay, whatever, And I 144 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:07,599 Speaker 1: only did it for one year in college, so I 145 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 1: didn't really know it was an option at the time. 146 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 1: But what did two of the other three years? So 147 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 1: I was recruited as a quarterback. I did that for 148 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 1: three years. My fourth year I was a receiver. I 149 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 1: can believe that, wow. And then my fifth year I 150 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 1: was a snapper. Transition was actually kind of tough because 151 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 1: I did go straight into punting from quarterback. It kind 152 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 1: of hit me when I played in the Blue Gray 153 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 1: All American Game as a punter. I was kind of 154 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 1: a little too fiery, like had that fiery quarterback side 155 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 1: of me, still wanting to be out on the field. 156 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 1: But reality hit me when I was like, oh shoot, 157 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 1: I'm only going out there like five times a game now, 158 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,880 Speaker 1: But love what I do. Miss quarterback a little bit. 159 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 1: But I definitely saw longevity and punting. He's still fiery, 160 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 1: by the way. He's still when he hits a good 161 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 1: punt like we do, like you know, the whole little 162 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 1: handshake headbut thing I'd run away from him because he 163 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 1: had abuts too, and I can't do it. I'm like 164 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:02,360 Speaker 1: a job on a way. Yeah, that that fiery side 165 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 1: of me probably just won't ever go away really yeah, 166 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 1: and I love that because the special teams you only 167 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 1: play such a big factor and changing momentum, changing swings 168 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 1: of the game. But what makes a good punter or 169 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 1: a good long snapper in the NFL. What are some 170 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 1: traits Consistency. I think that's kind of the name of 171 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 1: the game these days. You got to be consistent both 172 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:26,120 Speaker 1: your distance, your location, and your hang time for punting. 173 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,920 Speaker 1: And you can speak a little bit about snapping, yeah, 174 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 1: I mean I can't really go into the physical part, 175 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,160 Speaker 1: just because there's a ton of guys doing it in 176 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 1: the league that are so physically different. I just think 177 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 1: it's a mental thing. I think your mental approach to 178 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 1: the game, who you are as a person. A great 179 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,440 Speaker 1: thing about Ryan is he's just so even keel and 180 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 1: just just having fun out there. I mean he's like 181 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:47,160 Speaker 1: you are a kid, but he's just a big kid 182 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,720 Speaker 1: feel like having fun, and like I feel like I'm 183 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:51,439 Speaker 1: the same way. I'm just out there having fun with 184 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 1: my buddies, throwing it between my legs, him hitting great punts, 185 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,720 Speaker 1: and I'll try to get down there and cover you know, 186 00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:58,559 Speaker 1: I do the best I can, But I don't get 187 00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 1: down there with some of those other guys. But I 188 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,520 Speaker 1: think it's just your your mindset when you get out there. 189 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:04,839 Speaker 1: I mean, you mentioned the age difference or that he's 190 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,720 Speaker 1: a kid, which you're not. But that's okay, But you 191 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 1: said the age difference. In what have you learned from 192 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:14,439 Speaker 1: Andrew that you've been able to apply to your rookie 193 00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,560 Speaker 1: here now coming into the league. I think I've the 194 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:19,480 Speaker 1: volume of punts that I would hit in a day 195 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 1: is a lot, way too much. I think the main 196 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,719 Speaker 1: thing that I've learned from him is I don't need 197 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:26,840 Speaker 1: to do that much. I just need to hit a 198 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,760 Speaker 1: few each day and just kind of rely on that 199 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 1: muscle memory and that'll end up being better in the 200 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:35,040 Speaker 1: long run, because you're it's a longer season than it 201 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:38,559 Speaker 1: is in college. Different things, whether it's just personal life 202 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:42,080 Speaker 1: or on the football field or finances. Like he's he's 203 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,720 Speaker 1: been doing it for a bit and he's been a 204 00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:48,800 Speaker 1: really big mentor for me. That's awesome. Don't ye Don't 205 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 1: swing out your shoes is something that you always say, Andrew. 206 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,199 Speaker 1: What do you mean by that when you tell Ryan 207 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:58,520 Speaker 1: don't swing out your shoes? Yeah, So when you when 208 00:09:58,520 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 1: you really gear up and you try to hit a 209 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 1: big ball. You're like, I want to hit a seventy 210 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:03,839 Speaker 1: yard or five to five. Hang, it never works out 211 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 1: that way, right, you know, you get too into it 212 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,120 Speaker 1: coming off the side of your leg. Ryan is just 213 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:11,960 Speaker 1: so strong and powerful that his sixty seventy eighty percent 214 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:13,960 Speaker 1: ball is going to be better than most guys in 215 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:15,720 Speaker 1: the league. So if he can kind of just stay 216 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:17,720 Speaker 1: compact and just straight up through the ball, you're just 217 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:21,439 Speaker 1: gonna get I mean, top three, top four punters in 218 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:23,960 Speaker 1: the league as far as number wise go. So I 219 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 1: just try to tell him to stay in that range 220 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:27,560 Speaker 1: and he's gonna hit a great ball. And he's been 221 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 1: doing a great job seeing him at camp. Did you 222 00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,720 Speaker 1: expect to see this in the season? You can be 223 00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 1: honest in a sense, yes, yes, I think. I think 224 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:41,920 Speaker 1: when you get to this level, your eyes can deceive you. 225 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,320 Speaker 1: For me, personally, it's my ears when you When I 226 00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:46,680 Speaker 1: heard him hit a ball, I was like, this is different. 227 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,600 Speaker 1: I mean it's just sounds different coming off of his foot. 228 00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:53,760 Speaker 1: So I think that's carried over into games tremendously. I 229 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 1: think we saw it in a Denver game where he 230 00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,840 Speaker 1: just broke out and was just I mean boot and ball. 231 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:00,439 Speaker 1: I mean, how far was your long in that game, 232 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:02,840 Speaker 1: seventy something and then you hit the seventy four against Miami, 233 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 1: which was not at altitude, So I mean, you know 234 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:08,440 Speaker 1: his numbers so far them speaking for themselves. So yeah, 235 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:10,959 Speaker 1: I could have told you this was going to happen. Well, 236 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:12,599 Speaker 1: what's going to happen right now is we're going to 237 00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:14,680 Speaker 1: go to break and then when we get back from break, 238 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 1: you guys are gonna stay on the show.

This is 247 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:55,120 Speaker 1: the audible presented by three M. Gabe Henderson, that's Tatum Everett. 248 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:56,959 Speaker 1: We got Ryan right on the show as well as 249 00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:02,080 Speaker 1: Andrew Depaula aka Depot Biking Specialists. Right before the break, 250 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,040 Speaker 1: we were talking about the seventy three yard punt you 251 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:08,120 Speaker 1: kicked against Miami, Ryan, and you don't see that every day. 252 00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:10,439 Speaker 1: And I think the big thing that Matt Daniel said 253 00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:12,280 Speaker 1: was the hang time on the ball was like, okay, 254 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:14,439 Speaker 1: when is this ball coming down? Like that's just the 255 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 1: elite punt status. Were you punt punts like that? What 256 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,480 Speaker 1: changes as far as expectations go, as far as from 257 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,160 Speaker 1: your coaches, I don't think the expectation changes at all. 258 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:27,520 Speaker 1: I think they've seen me do this multiple times in 259 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 1: game and in practice, so it's just a matter of 260 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:33,080 Speaker 1: like when's it going to happen next. But funny thing 261 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,959 Speaker 1: about that seventy three yard punt in Miami, it was 262 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 1: actually a recipe for disaster. I was lined up two 263 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,560 Speaker 1: yards too deep, so if you actually go back and 264 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,800 Speaker 1: watch it, I was walking up while this snap was coming. 265 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:47,360 Speaker 1: I was focused on trying to improvise my steps, so 266 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:50,800 Speaker 1: my drop wasn't the most clean laces. We're facing down, 267 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:52,640 Speaker 1: so I had to twist my arm a little bit 268 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:56,120 Speaker 1: like that, and it, honestly, fund being perfectly honest, it 269 00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 1: was a miracle that it happened. Man. If that's the case, 270 00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:03,240 Speaker 1: man to continue to do that three seventy five like, 271 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:06,000 Speaker 1: I'll take that. Yeah, gave mentions the coaching staff, and 272 00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,559 Speaker 1: this is first year for Matt Daniels as your special 273 00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:11,080 Speaker 1: teams coordinator. When I spoke to Greg a couple of 274 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,560 Speaker 1: weeks ago, he said that he gives you guys the 275 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:17,600 Speaker 1: freedom to expand on your talents. It's a very greg quote. 276 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:19,840 Speaker 1: But what do you what do you think of what 277 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:23,480 Speaker 1: Greg says as he describes Daniels like that, I think 278 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:27,040 Speaker 1: that's a perfect quote. And I don't believe Greg said that. 279 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,280 Speaker 1: I went back and listen to it. Wow, I mean, yeah, 280 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:31,520 Speaker 1: that's I mean, that's a that's a perfect quote. Um. 281 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:34,319 Speaker 1: You know. The great thing about working with Matt so 282 00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:38,080 Speaker 1: far Coach Hat is, uh, he doesn't he hasn't tried 283 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:43,200 Speaker 1: to change anyone. He's just tried to help the best 284 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:45,559 Speaker 1: side of you come out, you know, really be there 285 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,319 Speaker 1: for game days, which has been awesome. He really listens 286 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:50,120 Speaker 1: to you will just be like, hey, what do you 287 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:53,240 Speaker 1: do best and how can we help you do that? 288 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:57,680 Speaker 1: Every single time. Another thing Coach Hat says is when 289 00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 1: the special team's game, is there an example of what 290 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 1: winning the special teams game looks like? Yeah? I think 291 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,880 Speaker 1: there's a few, you know, there's there's a couple um, 292 00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:10,080 Speaker 1: I guess measurements we go buy you know, uh punt 293 00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:12,760 Speaker 1: when I've written that punt battle one hundred percent field 294 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:18,599 Speaker 1: goal pat um, there's one hundred percent assignment. There's that 295 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:22,160 Speaker 1: was the only penalteen free um. And I think too, 296 00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:23,760 Speaker 1: there's a certain element where you can turn the tape 297 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:25,840 Speaker 1: on and be like, you can tell which team is 298 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:28,440 Speaker 1: kind of winning the battle, so to speak. It's so 299 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:31,000 Speaker 1: important to get guys to buy into special teams, not 300 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,520 Speaker 1: just the special obviously that's what you do, but to 301 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 1: get the other guys on the team to get involved. 302 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:39,680 Speaker 1: And that's something that coach Hat does so well. How 303 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,320 Speaker 1: does he get guys to buy in and make this 304 00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:45,200 Speaker 1: something they want to do, to take pride in what 305 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,960 Speaker 1: in that fast of the game. Obviously, I'm a rookie, 306 00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:51,000 Speaker 1: so this is my first special teams room, but one 307 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,600 Speaker 1: thing that's stuck out to me is it's a family 308 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,440 Speaker 1: in that special team's room. And one of the big 309 00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 1: things that Hat wants us to be able to do 310 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,200 Speaker 1: is to rely on the guy next to you when 311 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:04,080 Speaker 1: it matters the most, and all of us trust each other. 312 00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:07,680 Speaker 1: We we're building that chemistry each and every day, and 313 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:11,080 Speaker 1: I think that's been one thing that's helped us a lot. Honestly, 314 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,000 Speaker 1: I think it starts with Koh. He makes it a 315 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:14,880 Speaker 1: point of emphasis to be the best we can be 316 00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:17,160 Speaker 1: on special teams. He doesn't gloss over it, he doesn't 317 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,480 Speaker 1: skip over it, he doesn't take away time from meetings 318 00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:22,720 Speaker 1: or practice. He really makes it feel like it is 319 00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:24,560 Speaker 1: a big because it is, you know, a big deal. 320 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,640 Speaker 1: He reiterates every week how we can change the game, 321 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:30,160 Speaker 1: we can win the game or lose the game. On 322 00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 1: special teams, you know, we like to say we're one 323 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,160 Speaker 1: third of the game. So you know, I really think 324 00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:38,400 Speaker 1: it starts with him, and then obviously getting the right guy, 325 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:42,520 Speaker 1: which was Hat for the job, and just going from there. 326 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 1: So yeah, Buffalo coming up next. I went ahead and 327 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 1: started looking at the weather report because I just wanted 328 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:49,000 Speaker 1: to know how many jackets I needed to bring. But 329 00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:50,800 Speaker 1: it's not going to be that cold, probably, But the 330 00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:52,600 Speaker 1: win ten to twenty miles an hour. What kind of 331 00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:55,520 Speaker 1: effect can that happen Sunday's game. I mean it just 332 00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,960 Speaker 1: it'll affect a direction you're punting. It could affect messing 333 00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,080 Speaker 1: with the ball a little bit. On goals, doesn't really 334 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:03,040 Speaker 1: do too much for the snap, usually try to air 335 00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,320 Speaker 1: into his body more on field goals when it's a 336 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:09,800 Speaker 1: little yep inclement weather, and then for punts, my mindset 337 00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:12,600 Speaker 1: is once it's side of my hands, it's his problem. Yeah. 338 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,840 Speaker 1: As far as punting, like, the only thing you can 339 00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:19,000 Speaker 1: do is just kind of go with the wind whichever 340 00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:21,880 Speaker 1: way the wind's blown. And one way to combat that 341 00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:24,040 Speaker 1: is to have a lower drop and kind of drop 342 00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:26,400 Speaker 1: that front nose of the ball down. Other than that, 343 00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:28,800 Speaker 1: you just kind of do the same thing. Does anything 344 00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,280 Speaker 1: change or what changes when it comes to snapping for 345 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:34,160 Speaker 1: a field goal versus snapping for a punt? And with that, 346 00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:37,280 Speaker 1: like what changes by player? Because you've you've slong snap 347 00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:39,960 Speaker 1: for so many different punters and so many different kickers. 348 00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,840 Speaker 1: So how intricate is that? Yeah? I mean, gosh, you're 349 00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:45,280 Speaker 1: that's a great question. No one's really ever asked me 350 00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:47,840 Speaker 1: that before, but I do have a good answer for it. Um. So, 351 00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:51,480 Speaker 1: I mean with with long snaps, right, your stance is 352 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:53,040 Speaker 1: little more narrow because you want to get a little 353 00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,680 Speaker 1: bit more speed on the ball. You don't have to 354 00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:58,480 Speaker 1: be as finer tuned. I want to say, with you know, 355 00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:00,520 Speaker 1: you have a bigger target can kind of be a 356 00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 1: little more off, I want to say, But with field goals, 357 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:06,879 Speaker 1: for me, you get a little wider stance because you 358 00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:08,359 Speaker 1: want to be a little bit more precise. It's almost 359 00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:10,239 Speaker 1: like throwing darts. You're really trying to get into a 360 00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:13,920 Speaker 1: specific spot. I'm really trying to take as much off 361 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:15,840 Speaker 1: him as I can, you know, with having the laces out, 362 00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:17,520 Speaker 1: having in a good spot where you can just kind 363 00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:19,200 Speaker 1: of catch it and put it down on the spot, 364 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:21,040 Speaker 1: and that's really it for him, you know, like kind 365 00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:23,040 Speaker 1: of take all the guess work out of it, so 366 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:27,399 Speaker 1: there's like a few finer things that go into it. 367 00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:29,720 Speaker 1: And then you know, as far as snapping a different 368 00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,359 Speaker 1: guys goes, you know, you got taller guys, shorter guys, 369 00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:34,640 Speaker 1: it's usually a little bit easier snapping to the bigger guys, 370 00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:37,560 Speaker 1: just because every snap looks better, so to speak. And 371 00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:39,159 Speaker 1: then for field goals, it's just getting with them and 372 00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,000 Speaker 1: working with them to where they catch it so that 373 00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,480 Speaker 1: the laces can kind of be pointing out a little bit. 374 00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:45,919 Speaker 1: I try not to be too hot with my snaps. 375 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:47,840 Speaker 1: I try to make them catchable and easy enough to 376 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:49,440 Speaker 1: just catch and put down. Because if I can give 377 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:51,800 Speaker 1: him a catchable ball, he can speed up his operation. 378 00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:53,960 Speaker 1: Then everything go a little bit quicker, versus if I 379 00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 1: threw a laser back there, he's got to make sure 380 00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:57,960 Speaker 1: he's got to secure first and then put it down. 381 00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:01,440 Speaker 1: So that's kind of worth things different. So you can 382 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:05,160 Speaker 1: there is like an art to snapping a ball and 383 00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:08,439 Speaker 1: having the laces in a certain way. Wow, How like 384 00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:11,639 Speaker 1: is that like you're holding onto the seams at first? Like, 385 00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:13,560 Speaker 1: how does that work? Yeah? I mean I don't want 386 00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:16,439 Speaker 1: to give you all my secrets, but but you know, 387 00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,080 Speaker 1: it starts you though, It starts with your grip, you know, 388 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:21,359 Speaker 1: and then figuring that out and then from there, I 389 00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:23,080 Speaker 1: don't mess with the grip. After that, I messed with 390 00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:26,399 Speaker 1: my feet. So either moving up moving back changes if 391 00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:29,040 Speaker 1: we're playing on turf versus playing on grass. Then it 392 00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:31,840 Speaker 1: comes into the ball. You know, how grippy is the ball? 393 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:33,920 Speaker 1: You know? Grippy? Is that even a word? Um? We 394 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:36,159 Speaker 1: just made it a long But there's there's a ton 395 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:38,800 Speaker 1: of factors that go in. Um, you know, could be 396 00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:42,239 Speaker 1: could be wet this weekend, a humid game. I mean, 397 00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,359 Speaker 1: all those factors come into play when it comes to 398 00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:48,920 Speaker 1: snapping for me anyway, With the start that you've been having, 399 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:50,679 Speaker 1: Ryan and this team has been having, what do you 400 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,320 Speaker 1: think is something that you can improve on? I think 401 00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:55,760 Speaker 1: the number one thing that I can always improve on 402 00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,320 Speaker 1: is the location. Um. You want to get as close 403 00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:02,000 Speaker 1: to the silent as possible, and obviously that's very difficult 404 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:05,240 Speaker 1: to do every single time, and there's all a lot 405 00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:08,560 Speaker 1: of factors into that as well. I think that and 406 00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:11,639 Speaker 1: just cleaning up my hands a little bit too. Um, 407 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:15,679 Speaker 1: Like I said that seventy three yard punt was a 408 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:19,399 Speaker 1: recipe for disaster and um, just cleaning up those uh 409 00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:23,399 Speaker 1: mental errors and I think that'll definitely clean up my 410 00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:26,320 Speaker 1: game a little bit more. What is cleaning up your hands? 411 00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:29,480 Speaker 1: That don't Yeah, it's just catching it out in front 412 00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:31,919 Speaker 1: of in front of you, getting a clean spin so 413 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,160 Speaker 1: you have the laces in the exact position you want 414 00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:38,080 Speaker 1: to drop it at. Um. Yeah, all right, um. Because 415 00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 1: we talked earlier before, you said your hands, and I'm like, dude, 416 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:42,360 Speaker 1: if your hand, if you do that with your hand 417 00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:44,880 Speaker 1: every time before you punt and it's seventy five yards, 418 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:46,880 Speaker 1: I am a fan. But there is a such thing 419 00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:49,520 Speaker 1: called out kicking. The coverage can you explain without kicking 420 00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:52,919 Speaker 1: the coverages. Yeah, so you want to have a distance 421 00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:56,600 Speaker 1: that matches that hang time. In college, my one of 422 00:19:56,600 --> 00:20:00,199 Speaker 1: my special teams coaches actually broke it down into like 423 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:03,200 Speaker 1: a math science or whatever. But it's a one point 424 00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:06,720 Speaker 1: out ratio. You want to have, let's say, forty five yardball, 425 00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:08,200 Speaker 1: you want to have a four or five hang time. 426 00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,000 Speaker 1: If you hit a fifty yard ball, you want to 427 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:11,960 Speaker 1: have a five out hang time, And you just try 428 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:15,399 Speaker 1: to get consistent enough to where the hang time and 429 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:18,639 Speaker 1: distance matches every single time. I didn't think we were 430 00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:20,359 Speaker 1: going to get into like the physics. This is a 431 00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:23,399 Speaker 1: math class. This is really interesting. This is good. No. 432 00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:26,119 Speaker 1: I think that's a really interesting point that there's you know, 433 00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:27,960 Speaker 1: we see what you guys do in and out of 434 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,600 Speaker 1: the game, but there's not much talk about the thought 435 00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:34,720 Speaker 1: process or the art behind it. Is there? Some is there? Angels? 436 00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:38,120 Speaker 1: Are these there one misconception about what you do that 437 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,560 Speaker 1: really just bugs you. That's a great question, man, it's 438 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:45,760 Speaker 1: a good question. Um. I mean, I guess it's just 439 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:50,400 Speaker 1: the just the position overall, right, I mean you kind 440 00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 1: of read like long snapper is the easiest job in 441 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:54,200 Speaker 1: the field, right, If you want to get in the 442 00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:56,000 Speaker 1: NFL just be a long snapper. And I'm like, it's 443 00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:59,080 Speaker 1: kind of a little more difficult than that. There's a 444 00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:01,320 Speaker 1: little more that goes in to it, you know, Like 445 00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:03,240 Speaker 1: like I kind of just explained the whole punt versus 446 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:06,159 Speaker 1: field goal thing. Um. You know, on field goals you 447 00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:09,560 Speaker 1: just have to be kind of so precise and inaccurate. 448 00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:12,120 Speaker 1: But then at the same time, you still got a block, 449 00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:13,760 Speaker 1: so get it your head out or got a block 450 00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:16,119 Speaker 1: it and who you know who you're blocking so or 451 00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:17,720 Speaker 1: they can jump over top of you can get a flap, 452 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:20,960 Speaker 1: or they can try oh and then land on me. 453 00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:23,360 Speaker 1: That was just not fun, not fun at all. Um. 454 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:26,000 Speaker 1: But yeah, I think that kind of one just kind 455 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,400 Speaker 1: of irks me, bugs me the most. What about you Ryan? 456 00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:32,320 Speaker 1: Pretty similar just the position. Um, Obviously it's not the 457 00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:36,480 Speaker 1: most physically difficult, but it's definitely a hard thing to 458 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:38,840 Speaker 1: do punt of football. And it it like a lot 459 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,359 Speaker 1: of people think, oh, I can go punt of football, 460 00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:45,040 Speaker 1: but it takes years and years of repetition to build 461 00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:48,359 Speaker 1: up that muscle memory to be consistent with it. I 462 00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:50,480 Speaker 1: think the I think the thing too touched on about 463 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:53,120 Speaker 1: our position is it's it's a lot of gray area, right, 464 00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:55,439 Speaker 1: So like he could hit a great punt and then 465 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,879 Speaker 1: the returner could get I don't know, thirty twenty five 466 00:21:57,960 --> 00:21:59,920 Speaker 1: yard returns, so it's like, oh, it doesn't look that great. 467 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:01,320 Speaker 1: But at the same time, he still hit a great 468 00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:03,640 Speaker 1: ball yea. So I think there's kind of some gray 469 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:07,600 Speaker 1: area there when it comes to judging both of our positions. Man, well, 470 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:10,760 Speaker 1: hopefully fans who judged this show judged the way Tatum 471 00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:13,720 Speaker 1: and Idea, because you guys were phenomenal today. I appreciate 472 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:15,040 Speaker 1: your time. I feel like we can talk to you 473 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,840 Speaker 1: guys all day every day before our viewership. We have 474 00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:20,600 Speaker 1: to end the show on this point. So for Tatum Everett, 475 00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:23,520 Speaker 1: Ryan Wright, Andrew Dapaula.
