Here in the bet MGM Casino studio, Ethan Greenberg, 3 00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:12,160 Speaker 1: Eric Allen joined by Locklin Edwards. Lock thanks for coming 4 00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:15,240 Speaker 1: up to the studio. Yeah, man, we appreciate it. So 5 00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:18,760 Speaker 1: you've got the white sweatshirt on today? Obviously the Jets 6 00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:23,480 Speaker 1: had new uniforms unveiled in the spring. Now that you've 7 00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:28,360 Speaker 1: seen the combinations throughout most of the two thousand nineteen campaign, 8 00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:31,400 Speaker 1: what's your favorite? Um? Actually, I really like the black. 9 00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:32,800 Speaker 1: I didn't think I would lock it as much as 10 00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:37,160 Speaker 1: I did. Um, my favorite was the green, and now black. 11 00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:39,400 Speaker 1: It is definitely become the favorite. But why didn't you 12 00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:41,280 Speaker 1: think you'd like it at first? Probably because it's just 13 00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:44,320 Speaker 1: so different from what we had previous. Yes, um, but 14 00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:48,159 Speaker 1: it's really great on me. And so the last two times, 15 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:50,839 Speaker 1: I know, the first time the Jets wore black a loss, 16 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:53,239 Speaker 1: but they'll finish the year with the two win one 17 00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:55,640 Speaker 1: mark in the Blacks. Maybe that's why you like Busy 18 00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:59,000 Speaker 1: beat the Giants and then of course Takedown in Miami Dolphins. 19 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:03,240 Speaker 1: So I've been meaning to ask you this for a while. 20 00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:08,399 Speaker 1: Here we go, Yeah, here we go. When you were 21 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 1: overseas back home in Australia the way you got into punting. 22 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:14,360 Speaker 1: I read this and I just want to know if 23 00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 1: this is true or not. One of your teachers happened 24 00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 1: to be driving by, like some field and you were 25 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:23,560 Speaker 1: just kicking a football, and like, this is how I 26 00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:26,480 Speaker 1: imagine this. He's literally driving by, you know, you got 27 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:30,399 Speaker 1: like some beautiful background. He's like, that's one of my students. 28 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,720 Speaker 1: It's like, wait a minute, he's kicking a football. Wait 29 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:34,960 Speaker 1: a minute, he's really good at this. Wait a minute, 30 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 1: I have to stop. Pull over, like, throw all my hazards. 31 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:40,479 Speaker 1: Tell Lachlan that he should go kick in the NFL, 32 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 1: or go kick football is overseas in college? Is that act? Like? 33 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 1: Is that essentially how it happened? Essentially happened? I? Um, 34 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,720 Speaker 1: we would just we actually started throwing the football and 35 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,560 Speaker 1: back then I was even worse thrown. Um, and we 36 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 1: just started kicking it and he drives Boston. Um, he's 37 00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 1: now one of my good buddies. A goot telpye. Um 38 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:02,919 Speaker 1: he's originally from Connecticut. Sorry, he recognized the football compared 39 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 1: to doing Australian football. Um. Yeah, he stopped and came 40 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:08,359 Speaker 1: over and uh, and had a chat and he said, 41 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:09,680 Speaker 1: do you want to try it? And I thought he 42 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,640 Speaker 1: was joking and he led me in the right direction 43 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:17,359 Speaker 1: and ended up going to college six months later in Texas. 44 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 1: In Texas, Yeah, what'd your family think about you leaving Australia. 45 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,080 Speaker 1: It's not like a kid growing up in Florida Park 46 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 1: and they're going to Georgia or something like that. You 47 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,840 Speaker 1: left Australia. Yeah. They kind of kind of scoffed at 48 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,239 Speaker 1: the start because I was like, you know, you're joking. 49 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:37,359 Speaker 1: But after a while and you know, started you know, 50 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 1: started to figure out how we could actually do it. Um. 51 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 1: You know, they caught on a bit more and they 52 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:45,240 Speaker 1: saw that people had actually done it before me. Um, 53 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 1: and we started watching some TV shows like Azzi's Abroad 54 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 1: and Stuff, which was a show on ESPN back then. 55 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 1: And that followed guys like Darren Bennett and um Ozzy's 56 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 1: met McBryan that had been in the NFL and college system. Um, 57 00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 1: and they started to, you know, to think it might 58 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 1: be a good idea And yeah, but but are you 59 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,919 Speaker 1: thinking and you and your family thinking free education or 60 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,200 Speaker 1: maybe I got a chance to do this as my 61 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 1: livelihood and make money doing it and start a career. 62 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 1: It didn't really start it as I think I could 63 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:20,080 Speaker 1: do it in the NFL. It just sort of started as, um, 64 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 1: you know, I want to go see how colleges in America. 65 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 1: I want to see the world, you know. And I 66 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 1: hadn't been out of Australia at that stage, um, and 67 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:28,920 Speaker 1: it just looked like a load of fun. Um you 68 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 1: know you see Texas in in the movies and stuff. 69 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 1: It was just a great, you know, a chance for 70 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 1: me to try something new. And uh, you know, luckily enough, 71 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 1: I I did all right and was able to make it. 72 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 1: What was your NFL consumption growing up? And what is 73 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 1: the general NFL consumption like in Australia, Because I imagine 74 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,760 Speaker 1: it's decent. But not only that, the the time zones 75 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 1: are just so different. So if you're watching a one 76 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 1: o'clock game here, like, I have no idea what time 77 00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 1: it is in Australia, but I imagine you have to 78 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 1: be up pretty late to watch some NFL game. Yeah, 79 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 1: so depending on daylight savings and stuff. Mom, mom and 80 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 1: dad is set in the alarm at about four four 81 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 1: o'clock in the morning, um, just to watch them play football. 82 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:12,120 Speaker 1: So and they've never missed a game, which is great. Um. 83 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 1: But before, you know, growing up, I didn't really see 84 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 1: much NFL. Um you'd see the movies like remember the Titans. 85 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 1: That's a good soundtrack, Yeah, fright, and allarts stuff like that, 86 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 1: so you know, I had a little understanding of it. 87 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:29,040 Speaker 1: And you know, it was like a small town, small 88 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,279 Speaker 1: Texas towns that were like everything was football, and I 89 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,599 Speaker 1: was like, that's not true. But you know, long behold, 90 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:38,360 Speaker 1: it is pretty true. Um. It's growing on in Australia now, 91 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 1: especially with the more guys we get in um, you know, 92 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 1: and every time we get a professional sports player like 93 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 1: you know Valentine, like how it spurs you know, more 94 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 1: interest from the republic And yeah, they they like to 95 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 1: see people other than punners, you know in the NFL. 96 00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 1: So for folks who don't have the roster in front 97 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,280 Speaker 1: of them. What what college did you do in Texas? 98 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 1: Sam Houston State, Sam Houston State, So how much culture 99 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 1: shock when you went there? And did you even go 100 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 1: on a visit before actually pecking your bags and leaving Australia. 101 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 1: Obviously didn't go on a boat, but imagine you flew 102 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:19,840 Speaker 1: over but I probably would rather to vote. Actually, the 103 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,479 Speaker 1: flight over it was terrible, was it? Really? Remember the flight? Well, 104 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 1: they know it's long. It was only because I got 105 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,040 Speaker 1: on the plane. In my whole road the power wasn't working, 106 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 1: so I couldn't watch a movie. I couldn't even turn 107 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,840 Speaker 1: my heart on like the overhead light. Yeah, so I 108 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,480 Speaker 1: put and it's you know, sixteen hours from Sydney to 109 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,359 Speaker 1: l A or fourteen your take. So you were in 110 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:44,120 Speaker 1: the three across. I was in the economy Yeah, definitely, um, 111 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 1: and I luckily had a seat between me, so you know, 112 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 1: I had a little bit of room, but still pretty brutal. 113 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 1: You know, I've been six ft five ish back there. 114 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 1: It's not great. But I pulled out the laptop and 115 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 1: I unfortunately I hadn't seen the movie before I put 116 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 1: on with Marshall. Really Matthew mcguy, I want a plane 117 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 1: And you know the whole movie is about a plane crash, 118 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 1: which is you know, it's a horrible thing. You're going 119 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 1: to college, yes, but right, but you're watching We are 120 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 1: Marshall on a plane international flight. This is your first 121 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 1: international flight time. Yeah. Yeah, but the culture shock was 122 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,600 Speaker 1: it was huge. When I got there. They had had 123 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,120 Speaker 1: an Australian there before me, so they sort of knew 124 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 1: what to expect. But he was a bit older. I 125 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 1: think he was like twenty seven when he got there, 126 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 1: and I was I just turned twenty one, and you know, 127 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,600 Speaker 1: people couldn't really understand me. I couldn't really understand them, 128 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 1: and it it was kind of like, you know, you just 129 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:44,600 Speaker 1: give each other a not and just go about your way. 130 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:49,480 Speaker 1: You know. Did you initially have a full ride there? Um? 131 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 1: So I was. I was told I could, I would 132 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 1: have a full ride. And when I got there, I 133 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 1: was informed i'ld get a half scholarship. Oh no, yeah, 134 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 1: so it wasn't It wasn't great. Um we had to 135 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,359 Speaker 1: figure out whether I could even in the first place. Um, 136 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,800 Speaker 1: and you know, Mom and Dad thankfully made it, made 137 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:06,920 Speaker 1: it work for me. Um, Huntsville is a pretty cheap 138 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 1: place and we're able to find some cheap accommodation for 139 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 1: the for the year, and um, so we made it work. 140 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 1: I didn't get on full scholarship until my last year. Wow, 141 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 1: do you consider yourself an adventurous guy a courageous guy? 142 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 1: Because I know myself at eighteen, nineteen, twenty years old, 143 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 1: there's no way in hell I'll be like, oh, I 144 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 1: tried to support for six months. Maybe you know it 145 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 1: was a rugby league or something like that, and people 146 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 1: are like, hey, give it a try over here. I 147 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,080 Speaker 1: couldn't do it. No. I mean it's probably sort of 148 00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 1: more of I guess Australian culture. I guess it's more 149 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 1: just you know, give it a shot. What's the worse 150 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:43,640 Speaker 1: it can happen? You know, I'll just stand up back 151 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 1: home where I am. Sorry. Um, I was at university 152 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 1: back there, and I thought, why not give it a shot, 153 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 1: and you know, if it all goes, you know, in 154 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:54,880 Speaker 1: pair shape, I'll come back.

Um? 216 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:09,960 Speaker 1: Yeah it was. And it was in my pocket all weekend, 217 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 1: you know, a week and I couldn't find the right 218 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:16,200 Speaker 1: time to do it because it's pretty. You can't really 219 00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:18,679 Speaker 1: wear nice clothes and get a good photo because it's 220 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,720 Speaker 1: so hot. It was about forty degrees celsius every day, 221 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:26,199 Speaker 1: which is a hundred and tennish thousands of flyes. So 222 00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 1: we're in a fly net. Not ideal for a girl 223 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,120 Speaker 1: to put up on Instagram of a photo you know, 224 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:36,960 Speaker 1: we're going to fly. So I did the best I could, um, 225 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:38,440 Speaker 1: and it got to the stage where I was like, 226 00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:39,559 Speaker 1: all right, if I don't do it now I'm not 227 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 1: going to do it on this trip. So um, yeah, 228 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:43,560 Speaker 1: I just got down on the knee said will you 229 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 1: marry me? And she said absolutely? And it worked out well. 230 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,400 Speaker 1: But you wanted to do it at home as I 231 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,200 Speaker 1: wanted to do it in Australia. Yeah, brought the ring 232 00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 1: over here and then we did it over there. So 233 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,719 Speaker 1: it's probably too expensive over there, probably, you know. Just 234 00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:57,960 Speaker 1: so what are what are the plants where you guys 235 00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:01,000 Speaker 1: getting married? Getting married in Hawaii?

You know, 300 00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:27,720 Speaker 1: we didn't know what we're gonna do with time out 301 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:29,520 Speaker 1: its whether it was a Harry Harry field goal or 302 00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,800 Speaker 1: was a um a milk it And we just went 303 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:34,560 Speaker 1: down there.

Absolutely, I'll leave 316 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:15,680 Speaker 1: him alone. Um. The worst thing you ever say, you know, 317 00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:17,760 Speaker 1: he's say it in college all the time is the 318 00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:20,360 Speaker 1: same position players go up and start talking to the kicker, 319 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:22,120 Speaker 1: and this is leave him alone. You know this is 320 00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,600 Speaker 1: this is his moment um.

Um, isn't that a learned 326 00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:41,920 Speaker 1: trait from you? Like when you came in the league. 327 00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:44,320 Speaker 1: Have you did you hold up to that date? I 328 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:47,640 Speaker 1: hadn't held in a game. Um, but I how to practice. 329 00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,320 Speaker 1: I got through throughout college. But you know, having to 330 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:53,280 Speaker 1: learn to hold to for Nick Faulkes he's pretty picky 331 00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:56,239 Speaker 1: with these holds, so he helped me a lot. Um 332 00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:58,360 Speaker 1: him and Tanna went my first year. They took me 333 00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:00,400 Speaker 1: on the wing and show me the ripes and not 334 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,000 Speaker 1: now Tom. Tom's out. He's a great snapper. Sorry, he 335 00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:04,920 Speaker 1: makes it makes it easy. But you're one of the 336 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,400 Speaker 1: few guys in the stadium. Am I correct on? This 337 00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,160 Speaker 1: is that you got to keep your head down. So 338 00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:14,000 Speaker 1: when he's kicking a ball, are you just waiting to 339 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,120 Speaker 1: hear the reaction or to stay up? And you can 340 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,639 Speaker 1: time it perfectly where you finally see the ball. So 341 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:22,000 Speaker 1: I usually don't see the bowl until it's through the 342 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,360 Speaker 1: three projects in my spot. Um, and then because you've 343 00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:26,600 Speaker 1: got the line in front of nice while stand up. Sorry, 344 00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,439 Speaker 1: I can usually tell from how Sam is if we 345 00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:33,680 Speaker 1: make it or not. Ah, do you remember what you 346 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:39,080 Speaker 1: said to me yesterday? I mean after you, I don't know. 347 00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:44,960 Speaker 1: I got my hug and I want to know. This 348 00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,800 Speaker 1: time of year, obviously it gets chilly up here in 349 00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:53,440 Speaker 1: New Jersey and in the Northeast. As a specialist, sometimes 350 00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:55,600 Speaker 1: you have a little extra time on your hands up practice. 351 00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:59,520 Speaker 1: Are you freezing during practice? Um? Well, you know if 352 00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:01,760 Speaker 1: we're indos we'll go outside and we'll actually get some 353 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,359 Speaker 1: work in the cold, and um, you know, try to 354 00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:06,560 Speaker 1: get used to it as much as you can. It's 355 00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:09,240 Speaker 1: kind of hard to get used to the weather because 356 00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:12,000 Speaker 1: it's so different every game. Um, but we'll get out 357 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,400 Speaker 1: there and get some snaps and stuff. But we'll try 358 00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:16,199 Speaker 1: to get we'll try to keep warm, and we'll just 359 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:18,320 Speaker 1: bundle up once we're done without part of the practice. 360 00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:20,520 Speaker 1: But for the most part, we actually stay pretty active 361 00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:24,120 Speaker 1: throughout the day. How close are you dudes? You went Hennessey, 362 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:25,800 Speaker 1: You've been together for a while and then you had 363 00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,240 Speaker 1: to bring the new guy in. You guys have really 364 00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:30,520 Speaker 1: been through a lot this year. Talking about adversity on 365 00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:32,880 Speaker 1: the team, adversity on the field goal team, I mean 366 00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:36,959 Speaker 1: you work with every kicker, uh, this side of the Mississippi. 367 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:40,040 Speaker 1: I fell like, well, yeah, this is um if you 368 00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:41,600 Speaker 1: look at it, this a fifth kicker I've had in 369 00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:45,800 Speaker 1: four years. Um, second this season. Or if you don't 370 00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:49,679 Speaker 1: even want to like in the active see you know, yeah, Um, 371 00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:51,399 Speaker 1: first year was Nick Fogg, then we went Channel and 372 00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:54,239 Speaker 1: Jason and then now we've got Sam as well as 373 00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:57,760 Speaker 1: the Vic earlier in the year. Sorry, Um, it's really 374 00:18:57,840 --> 00:18:59,600 Speaker 1: me and me and Tom we've got a pretty good 375 00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:02,120 Speaker 1: sink and um, you know, I'm pretty confident we can 376 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:05,840 Speaker 1: we can help any any kicker that comes in here. Um. 377 00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:07,520 Speaker 1: And you know, as soon as I come out the door, 378 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:09,439 Speaker 1: it's like, how mane, what kind of holds you like? 379 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:11,200 Speaker 1: How do you like it? And they'll tell me what 380 00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:12,640 Speaker 1: they want. I'm like, all right, well, what's this work 381 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,280 Speaker 1: on it? How many different kinds of holds are there? 382 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:19,720 Speaker 1: Because I feel like, to e as point, fans focus 383 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:22,280 Speaker 1: on two things, very black and white. Is it in 384 00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,520 Speaker 1: or is it out? And they don't think about the operation, 385 00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:29,120 Speaker 1: the snap, the hold, but even within that, like how 386 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 1: many different kinds of holds are there? So it comes 387 00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:34,520 Speaker 1: down to the preference of the kicker obviously. So a 388 00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:36,400 Speaker 1: lot of guys will want a bit of a lean 389 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:40,359 Speaker 1: on it towards me, not towards them. Um. And some 390 00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:42,320 Speaker 1: guys I want to straight up and down. Nick Folk 391 00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:44,920 Speaker 1: was was interesting. He had he didn't want to give 392 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,520 Speaker 1: up the uprights, so he had me lean the ball 393 00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:49,680 Speaker 1: according to the wind. So you tell me I want 394 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:51,879 Speaker 1: a large lean here or a small lean or a 395 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:55,280 Speaker 1: medium lean, um, you know, and then you've got to 396 00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:57,040 Speaker 1: find the spot with that lean because you don't want 397 00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:59,480 Speaker 1: to put it down and then lean it. So you're 398 00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:01,400 Speaker 1: just trying to make your the kicker's job as easy 399 00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:04,240 Speaker 1: it is, because it is. It is a tough job. 400 00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:06,800 Speaker 1: I know, I you know, I don't. I'm not jealous 401 00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:08,880 Speaker 1: of his job at all. You know, it's a touch job. 402 00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:11,920 Speaker 1: What about the weight program for a guy was constantly 403 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:17,800 Speaker 1: booting throughout the year, not yet given any away trade 404 00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:21,800 Speaker 1: secrets from justice or anybody, but how much legs do 405 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:23,760 Speaker 1: you deal in the off season and then how much 406 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,200 Speaker 1: do you have to do? You'll scale back a little 407 00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:30,280 Speaker 1: bit during the season. Majority of our leg strength work 408 00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:31,960 Speaker 1: comes in the off season. You're trying to put on 409 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:34,640 Speaker 1: some weight because as the season goes on, you're not 410 00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:37,159 Speaker 1: you're kind of maintaining, but you're still losing a bit 411 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:40,080 Speaker 1: of it. Um, So you're trying to put on as 412 00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:41,840 Speaker 1: much strength as you can in the off season without 413 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:44,919 Speaker 1: losing flexibility and you know, leg speed and stuff. So 414 00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:48,760 Speaker 1: it's a pretty fine balance. Um, there's not really too 415 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,240 Speaker 1: much science to it. Oh that might be I don't 416 00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:53,840 Speaker 1: really know it, but um, we'll lift, we'll lift legs 417 00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:58,439 Speaker 1: heavy basically once a week or not we'll do some 418 00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:01,200 Speaker 1: accessory lifts as well as your main like squat or 419 00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:04,000 Speaker 1: or box jump or something like that. But for the 420 00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:07,119 Speaker 1: most part, you're trying to to stay in you you're kicking, 421 00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,280 Speaker 1: just trying to keep your legs fresh and keep kicking 422 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:13,600 Speaker 1: well over the strength wise of it. You much of 423 00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:15,919 Speaker 1: Valentine Holmes before. He was on the praise of squad 424 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,240 Speaker 1: for a while. Now he's gone back. He's gonna play 425 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:22,680 Speaker 1: in the Rugby League again, I believe. Um, what about 426 00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,520 Speaker 1: the legend of him? Is that real? Like? How big 427 00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,600 Speaker 1: is he in Australia? I mean, he's a superstar. He 428 00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:30,439 Speaker 1: went he went back and he signed a what a 429 00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:33,679 Speaker 1: six year contract within two days? So um, he was 430 00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:35,879 Speaker 1: he was snapped up pretty quickly when he got back. Um. 431 00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:39,479 Speaker 1: I unfortunately I didn't see his career because I had 432 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:42,520 Speaker 1: got to America when he started. So, I mean's basically 433 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:44,199 Speaker 1: all of his career. But until he got here, did 434 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:46,439 Speaker 1: you have friends back home tell you that he was 435 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:48,800 Speaker 1: coming here? Like how did you hear of it? And 436 00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:51,840 Speaker 1: had you heard of him prior to him walking through 437 00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,159 Speaker 1: the doors? I had it so my parents, Um I 438 00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:57,080 Speaker 1: skyped them once a week. Um, and you know they 439 00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:59,320 Speaker 1: told they basically tell me everything that's going on, because 440 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:00,960 Speaker 1: I try to shout out most of this stuff m 441 00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:05,280 Speaker 1: that doesn't really pertain to me or you know. Um, 442 00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:08,440 Speaker 1: they told me that he was coming over and and 443 00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:11,000 Speaker 1: then I did some radio shows in Australia that they 444 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:14,919 Speaker 1: you know, they they were going crazy every Yeah. Sorry. 445 00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:18,359 Speaker 1: They did a couple of um, a couple of crews 446 00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,120 Speaker 1: follow him throughout the preseason. I feel like, who came 447 00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:25,159 Speaker 1: from Australia and to follow him? And he got that sense. 448 00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:28,200 Speaker 1: Did he reach out to you when he came over 449 00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,159 Speaker 1: and said hey luck? He did? Yeah, So I gave 450 00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 1: him a ride to to practice for um a couple 451 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,160 Speaker 1: of weeks until he you know, he figured out he's 452 00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:36,080 Speaker 1: traveling stuff and we were living in the same building. 453 00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:40,639 Speaker 1: So um, great guy. Yeah great. Uh, his wife's cool, 454 00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 1: him and her and all. He got on really well. 455 00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:44,919 Speaker 1: So it was a good little mix. And you know, 456 00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,159 Speaker 1: I hope he hoping, you know, all the best for 457 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:50,199 Speaker 1: the future. Yeah. He always seemed like a very very 458 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:52,479 Speaker 1: humble guy, like what was the story. He didn't tell 459 00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:54,240 Speaker 1: any of the running backs or anyone on the team 460 00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:56,480 Speaker 1: like who he was, so you could you could have 461 00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:59,160 Speaker 1: spoiled a lot for him. You could have been like, hey, 462 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,719 Speaker 1: I know you guys are cool. You know this is 463 00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:06,120 Speaker 1: and he he just didn't want any of that. So yeah, 464 00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:09,840 Speaker 1: he's a great guy.

Now. Sorry, you gotta try and find 526 00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:12,200 Speaker 1: a spot where it's not too crazy. Um has a 527 00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:13,480 Speaker 1: lot going on there. It's kind of like the tech 528 00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:16,840 Speaker 1: capital of Texas. I think. Sorry, Yeah, I went to 529 00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:18,879 Speaker 1: Austin a couple of months ago. I didn't know that 530 00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:23,480 Speaker 1: quickly you quickly realized. I also didn't know there was homeless, 531 00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:28,760 Speaker 1: large homeless um contingency in Austin too. Yeah, I'll start 532 00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:31,760 Speaker 1: to see that a lot around the whole country. It's 533 00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:36,160 Speaker 1: to see the discarpency and no doubt about that. Well 534 00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:38,879 Speaker 1: you got anything else, No, you're gonna end it up 535 00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:41,679 Speaker 1: talking about the homeless. We gotta get we gotta get, 536 00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:44,040 Speaker 1: we gotta we gotta get back, and we gotta help people. 537 00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:49,359 Speaker 1: What give us something that that you missed from Australia 538 00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:54,800 Speaker 1: that you think America should adopt. Oh and don't say 539 00:26:54,840 --> 00:27:00,000 Speaker 1: meat pies? No what? Um? That is a good quite 540 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:02,320 Speaker 1: and I wish I had the time to think about it. 541 00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:07,080 Speaker 1: Um probably just be a little more easy going, I 542 00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:10,800 Speaker 1: guess relaxed. I think that's uh. I don't know that 543 00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:17,399 Speaker 1: typically you think, but typically, um, you would say that 544 00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:24,119 Speaker 1: that that people appear a little bit more uptight maybe aggressive? 545 00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:28,280 Speaker 1: Is that because do you say easy going? I'm thinking 546 00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:31,920 Speaker 1: about the opposite though, Yeah, yeah, I would say that 547 00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:34,960 Speaker 1: with that saying that, you know, yeah, I'll just I'll 548 00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:36,960 Speaker 1: try to be more relaxed. I think in terms of 549 00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:38,639 Speaker 1: you know, walking down the street, if you know someone's 550 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:40,760 Speaker 1: in your height, it's like, oh you know, you're sorry mate? 551 00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:44,160 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, oh yeah, no that doesn't happen. Yeah, it happen. 552 00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:46,159 Speaker 1: I think that's more of a Northeast thing though, that 553 00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:48,960 Speaker 1: in America. Do you well, he lives in Texas. Yeah, 554 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:50,560 Speaker 1: I know, but don't you think in Texas is at 555 00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:54,960 Speaker 1: least a little easier to you? I guess, um, speed 556 00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:56,359 Speaker 1: limits are a bit higher out there too. You. I 557 00:27:56,400 --> 00:28:00,280 Speaker 1: guess where's a good spot? I mean, this is a 558 00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:02,320 Speaker 1: beautiful country. But if people are going to go travel 559 00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:06,119 Speaker 1: to Australia, um, where do you suggest they stuff? Well, 560 00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:08,200 Speaker 1: I'm from I'm from a little bit south of Melbourne. 561 00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:12,159 Speaker 1: So Melbourne's great for like sporting capital of Australia basically, Um, 562 00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:14,600 Speaker 1: but you got to hit Sydney, of course, got to 563 00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,720 Speaker 1: hit Melbourne, and then I would say the whole East 564 00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:20,720 Speaker 1: Coast is great? Is that the Gold Coast? Gold Coast 565 00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:23,679 Speaker 1: is a bit north of Sydney. Um, and then above 566 00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:27,200 Speaker 1: that is like Cape Tribulation and um, the Great Batteref 567 00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:30,679 Speaker 1: and stuff up there, so awesome spots. Um, you can 568 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:32,879 Speaker 1: see a lot as you know, you've got tropics, you've 569 00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:36,119 Speaker 1: got deserts. You know, you've got mountain ranges if you 570 00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:40,600 Speaker 1: want kangaroos. Um. How often do you flow back to Australia? 571 00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:43,240 Speaker 1: Hopefully once a year, once a year, and then you 572 00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:46,520 Speaker 1: typically stay for a long a couple of weeks, um, 573 00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:49,960 Speaker 1: you know, hopefully three. But she kind of depends on 574 00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:52,800 Speaker 1: training and what else is going on over here? What 575 00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:56,880 Speaker 1: Ireland are getting married on?

Al 578 00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:05,000 Speaker 1: kind of had hands off planning for the probably been 579 00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:06,440 Speaker 1: trying to focus on do you know how a job? 580 00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:10,280 Speaker 1: And that's that's a smart Yeah, that's a smart move.
