1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:04,040
Speaker 1: How those two huge vehicles in the fourth quarter over

2
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:07,560
Speaker 1: fifty yards? Like, how does it feel helping propel the

3
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:10,240
Speaker 1: team to win? It feels good, you know. Um, it

4
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 1: takes a lot more than you know, just me kicking,

5
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 1: and obviously it takes the whole unit, the guy's getting

6
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:17,400
Speaker 1: down there, getting in range. Um, I don't see a

7
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:19,640
Speaker 1: whole lot that happens before the fourth down is I'm

8
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:21,479
Speaker 1: just you know, warming up in the net. But I

9
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:23,079
Speaker 1: heard there was some good effort to get us in

10
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 1: range on both those places. So you know, I'm just

11
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 1: thankful for the opportunities and and thankful coach trusting me

12
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 1: to to kick into the wind like that. What is

13
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:33,199
Speaker 1: going through your mind in a moment like that? I mean,

14
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:35,600
Speaker 1: kicker is such a unique position where you know, it

15
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 1: kind of doesn't get recognized until us the biggest point

16
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 1: in the game. What is it for you? What is

17
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 1: kind of going through your mind in that situation? Um,

18
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 1: I just try to think the same thoughts. You know,

19
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 1: I've got a couple of things that I'll think every week.

20
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 1: You know, it could change, but there's two things I'll

21
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 1: have in my mind just to focus on that will

22
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 1: help give me success. And uh, I don't really get nervous.

23
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 1: Actually in the moment, I kind of don't remember what happens.

24
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 1: It's you know, one point three seconds real fast, and

25
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 1: and um, you don't even think, you know, just all

26
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 1: the practice and preparation that you put into it just

27
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 1: kind of takes over and and you rely on that.

28
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 1: You say, you didn't get nervous, but do you have

29
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 1: a second of pause? And he said, Okay, it's fifty

30
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 1: six yards, a little bit on the longer range. Um,

31
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 1: I knew it going out there. Dave's looked at me

32
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 1: and he kind of just pointed and said go out

33
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 1: And then he was like, hey, can you make this.

34
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 1: I looked over and say yeah. I laughed, and then

35
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 1: I got out there. I was like, man, there's a

36
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:26,040
Speaker 1: long one. The wind is is, you know, blowing our way. Um,

37
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 1: but yeah, I mean you just try to hit it

38
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 1: the same and make sure you hit it pure. Um.

39
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 1: Those guys did a great job, you know, Like I

40
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 1: was saying earlier, takes a lot more, you know, it

41
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:38,319
Speaker 1: takes a good blocking, good snap, good hold and uh yeah.

42
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:41,399
Speaker 1: So obviously last year was last year. Many of the

43
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 1: fans didn't have a lot to root for, but just

44
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,040
Speaker 1: the environment today. What was that like for you coming

45
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 1: into this issue? That was awesome? Uh, you know from

46
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 1: the first quarter quarter on, UM, we noticed that it

47
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: looked around the sidelines to other guys. I was like,

48
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: this is awesome seeing this. The fans were waving the towels,

49
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: bringing the juice and that's special. So hopefully you know

50
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: as well keep coming doing that. And I don't think

51
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,639
Speaker 1: they realized how much it really means to us as players, um,

52
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 1: having them there and having their support, so you know,

53
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 1: we couldn't play this game without him. In terms of

54
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:11,639
Speaker 1: the coaching staff, what does it mean to you that

55
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 1: they do have that level of trusting you, Uh, it

56
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:15,920
Speaker 1: means a lot. You know. It's it's a new staff

57
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 1: and and I have to build that trust in them.

58
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: So that's what I've been working on, you know, keeping

59
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 1: my head down and working every day and and uh,

60
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 1: you know, just trying to build that trust. So it's

61
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 1: kicked by kick and you know, um, we got a

62
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 1: new game coming up, and I gotta earn that trust

63
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: every week. Was that the longest kid you've had in

64
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: your career? What was it? Uh? No, Uh, I don't

65
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: think I should talk about that and with the Giants fans.

66
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 1: But uh, the um yeah, those those fifty plus yarders

67
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:44,920
Speaker 1: are are special. You know. It's everything has to go

68
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: right on them. It's uh, it's a lot different than

69
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 1: you know, hitting a thirty arder. Even though that thirty

70
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 1: arder earlier in the game, my heart was pounding because

71
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,519
Speaker 1: we got the fumbal recovery and I ran down and

72
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 1: then realized, hey, we're in field goal range, so I

73
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:00,639
Speaker 1: gotta calm my heart rate. But um yeah, those fifty

74
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:02,919
Speaker 1: yards are fun, you know, but everything's got to go right.

75
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: So it's a it's a lot I guess you could

76
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 1: say a lot more fun when you make those coming off.

77
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 1: He thought we could have we should have gone shorter.

78
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I think it was the right line.

79
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: Um yeah, he he sent me out there and the

80
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 1: wind felt a little different. I almost told them to

81
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 1: hold the snap a little bit because I felt the

82
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 1: gusts coming, but just said, hey, let's roll with it.

83
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 1: It was this way. It was. It was into our face,

84
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 1: so that was I had to get all of it.

85
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 1: Is that weird being on the athlete having those two

86
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: game winning kicks. One of the Giants, one of the pictures,

87
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 1: and um, I don't I don't know if i'd call

88
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: it a game winner. I don't know if uh at

89
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 1: the end to put us ahead. Um, that's what I

90
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: dreamed of, you know. It's it's it's what I look

91
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 1: forward to. Um, those moments, you know, before I think

92
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: it was entering the fourth quarter, I looked at the guys,

93
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: I said, I hope we get this opportunity to put

94
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: us ahead. So um, after we made that, I was like,

95
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: hopefully defense stops him and you know, we run the

96
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 1: clock out, which happened. So it's it was an exciting

97
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: wind for us. I was just going to ask, up,

98
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: what's more difficult kicking into the wind or the sixty

99
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: three yard or you had a few years ago. Um,

100
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,599
Speaker 1: both were into the wind. So yeah, Um, that's just

101
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 1: part of the game though. They that's just you know,

102
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 1: the wind, that's part of playing in MetLife. So uh yeah,

103
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,119
Speaker 1: it's it's just what you've got to deal with and

104
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 1: and try to hit good balls.
