1 00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:02,120 Speaker 1: The faith punt. I mean, it's just a situation, right, 2 00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:06,920 Speaker 1: just an execute. Yeah, yeah, he's over through it, man, No, 3 00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:09,800 Speaker 1: uh no, the way to explain it just over through it. 4 00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:13,120 Speaker 1: So so you know, something we practice and just an execute. 5 00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:15,320 Speaker 1: So at the end of the day, that's what it's about. 6 00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:18,640 Speaker 1: We got to execute execution under pressure. That's our jobs. 7 00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:22,200 Speaker 1: So we all got to do so we're just an execute. Riley, 8 00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:24,920 Speaker 1: I'm not talking about the past. I'm talking about punning. 9 00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:28,200 Speaker 1: He's having a hard time executing. It's he hasn't lived 10 00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:29,960 Speaker 1: up to his career numbers. It seems like when he 11 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:31,640 Speaker 1: needs to go short, he goes long. When he needs 12 00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:33,839 Speaker 1: to go long, he go short. Well, it's it's not 13 00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:36,600 Speaker 1: it's not all on Riley. I think Riley had a 14 00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:38,599 Speaker 1: really good game last Week's probably his best game he's 15 00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:41,480 Speaker 1: had in a month. So he just gotta keep working 16 00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:44,720 Speaker 1: to get better. I mean, that's our primary focus, not 17 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:47,879 Speaker 1: to focus on the negative or and just make sure 18 00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:50,800 Speaker 1: that we're doing everything we can as a unit and 19 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:53,920 Speaker 1: as individuals to get better. And that's just you know, 20 00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:57,279 Speaker 1: that's part of our process. Did something go wrong then 21 00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,280 Speaker 1: in the process that we didn't see on the eighteen 22 00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:01,600 Speaker 1: yard punt before the aft. No, it was just a 23 00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,080 Speaker 1: bad point. I mean, we ain't up here and making 24 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:07,600 Speaker 1: excuses just the next uh, you know, and I probably 25 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:09,560 Speaker 1: shouldn't let him punt it. And it was one of 26 00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:12,440 Speaker 1: those situations where we wanted to execute a certain style 27 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:14,720 Speaker 1: of punt, trying to you know, trying to create a 28 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:19,280 Speaker 1: turnover and uh, probably you've just got cute. Probably you're 29 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:21,319 Speaker 1: just putting it down there and try and get inside 30 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:23,960 Speaker 1: the tin, and you know, but we're trying to make 31 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,520 Speaker 1: a play. And that's you know, when you get down 32 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 1: like that, you start to press a little bit, and 33 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 1: anytime you press a lot of times bad things happen. 34 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:35,160 Speaker 1: How much does this COVID thing for you as far 35 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:38,559 Speaker 1: as who are you going to use this weekend? Yeah, 36 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:40,560 Speaker 1: it's just you know, it is what it comes with 37 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:44,080 Speaker 1: the job. It's it's already enough, you know what my 38 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 1: job as it it already is, you know, just not 39 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 1: knowing all the time what you're gonna have. But when 40 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:53,480 Speaker 1: you get to where you're at the the bottom end 41 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 1: and the roster, and you know, it could be a 42 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:56,920 Speaker 1: practical guy could be this guy, could be that guy, 43 00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 1: could not be this guy, could be this guy, It's 44 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 1: just it's difficult. So you just gotta make sure you 45 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 1: keep it simple and you do a good job of 46 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:05,920 Speaker 1: teaching and make sure everybody understands what they're doing, what 47 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,359 Speaker 1: their job entails, and have them prepared, all of them. 48 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 1: Graham yesterday because of an illness. Uh, what's your concern 49 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 1: level on that? If he'll be fine, he'll be fine. 50 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,840 Speaker 1: Just I think he'll be here. Uh, but you know, 51 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:20,760 Speaker 1: I think it's just it was one of those deals 52 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 1: where it wasn't feeling well and it's that time of year, 53 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,800 Speaker 1: means December. You know, you go out of town, you 54 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 1: come back, it's it's warm, now it's cold, and just 55 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 1: you know, it's just it's that time of the year. 56 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:36,079 Speaker 1: How did right Well knock block that punt? Actually he did, 57 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 1: he his knee and but it just want pass a 58 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:43,640 Speaker 1: lone of scriptic. But that's a good question. Uh, it 59 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,400 Speaker 1: was a layup. You gotta make the layups. And I 60 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:50,680 Speaker 1: literally talked to him about that scenario during the course 61 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 1: of a week because it just happens like out of 62 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 1: the thousands of reps I've seen on punt Rushes told him, 63 00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 1: I was like, don't be shocked and it's you and 64 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 1: the punter. I like when you look up and it's like, oh, 65 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:06,240 Speaker 1: there he is, and it happens. You know, they miscounted 66 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 1: he had a bee line to the punter, and again 67 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:10,959 Speaker 1: we just go, we gotta do a better job of 68 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,519 Speaker 1: coaching taking the ball off the foot because that's a 69 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 1: that's a it's a whole another deal. And you know, 70 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 1: okey in practice and you get a chance and it 71 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:21,079 Speaker 1: happens and it opens like the Red Sea and it's 72 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 1: you and him. The first time experience in the league 73 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 1: of blocking the punt, it's a little different. So you 74 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 1: gotta make sure you're you execute and you understand what 75 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 1: you're trying to do. How are you trying to do? 76 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 1: Probably off right, because he doesn't wanna hurt your guy exactly. Well, well, 77 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 1: we'll take it right off the foot. But it's it's 78 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 1: just a consistency of you know, seeing your hand, putting 79 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 1: your eyes where your hand is supposed to be. You know, 80 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 1: so again, execution, just got to do a better job extution. 81 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 1: If you have the execution on the anti skick, you 82 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 1: know what it was. The first one was not so happy, 83 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 1: but the second one it was. It was very good. 84 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:56,840 Speaker 1: You know, it gave us a chance to you know, 85 00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 1: get back in it late. So you know, time you 86 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 1: can execute those specialty kicks. You know, that's that's a 87 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 1: good thing. So we just got to continue to in 88 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 1: those moments, in those situational moments. We've got to execute 89 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,120 Speaker 1: those kinds of kicks like kick you were talking about earlier, 90 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 1: the boomerang, we gotta execute that kick. The pump down 91 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:16,920 Speaker 1: the side, the tent, we gotta execute that kick. Like 92 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 1: all those things have to be done at a high 93 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 1: level for us to have a chance. And we just 94 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 1: got to do a better job. You're you're not a raff, 95 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 1: and you know this better than that would. Why can't 96 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:29,280 Speaker 1: you advance that? Because it happened and I think it's 97 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,240 Speaker 1: a Bears Packers game, right, and then they muffed onside kicking. Yeah, 98 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 1: and you you can only advance a fumble any kind 99 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 1: of muff. All you can do is recovery. That's just 100 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:41,920 Speaker 1: the rule, you know. So that's that's first again. So 101 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:43,920 Speaker 1: he needs control first. For it to be a ball, 102 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 1: you can advance. No, No, it has to be a 103 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 1: fumble like say, for example, Yeah, the guy controls the 104 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,719 Speaker 1: ball right, takes a step with it, you knock it out, 105 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:54,680 Speaker 1: then we could pick it up and advance it. But 106 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:58,919 Speaker 1: any kind of muff like our catch has to control 107 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 1: it first. But you're he saw that play with Joejan Natson. 108 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 1: Do you know what I'm talking about? The bounds? I 109 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 1: don't think like now you ever, some people had no 110 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 1: did you? You knew that we talked about with our 111 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 1: guys all the time. Why is that? Isn't isn't it 112 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 1: kind of dumb that they're allowed to do that. I 113 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 1: don't make up the rules. I just followed. But would 114 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 1: you expect the league to close that loop bowler? It's 115 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:26,159 Speaker 1: been like that for years. You can go back thirty years. 116 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 1: I mean, it happens all the time. Tyrone Montgomery had 117 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:32,680 Speaker 1: one when he was with the Packers, really good. We 118 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,560 Speaker 1: used as a teaching clip, um, guys stepping out of 119 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 1: bounds and and and conversely, uh Adrian Peterson when he 120 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 1: was young as a rookie his first or second year 121 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,599 Speaker 1: in the league, he was trying to execute the rule 122 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 1: as far as being out of bounds, and he did 123 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 1: it in reverse and they got the ball at the 124 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 1: two yard lines. So so we used that. You know, 125 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,480 Speaker 1: guys are the guys in our room understanding the rule 126 00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,160 Speaker 1: and they know exactly what it is. So that ball 127 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,279 Speaker 1: gets close downe of bounds. You know, as long as 128 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 1: you step out first and touch the ball, it's a 129 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,479 Speaker 1: rule kick out of bound. Whitey Graham. Whitey Graham put 130 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:08,359 Speaker 1: that one kick out abound. We've meant to do that 131 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 1: on purpose. Yeah, we're trying to kick it out of bounds. 132 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:19,160 Speaker 1: We were trying to kick and he did it. Uh. 133 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 1: We were trying to go left, and you know that's 134 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,480 Speaker 1: it's always a hard kick for right foot the kicker 135 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,360 Speaker 1: to go left, the easiest kickers to go right, but 136 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:30,280 Speaker 1: a lot of times the average kicker, we'll kick it 137 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,920 Speaker 1: out of bounds. And we just didn't execute again. Came 138 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 1: out execution and Graham has hit that ball a hundred 139 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 1: times in his career. I mean, it's just it's just 140 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 1: it was one of those deals where it's out. Anytime 141 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 1: the ball goes outside of the numbers um with the 142 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,120 Speaker 1: right foot the kicker going left, that's not a good thing, 143 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 1: you know. So it's I want to say it's not 144 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 1: a good thing. I'll say that it's it's in danger 145 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,040 Speaker 1: of going out of bounds because of the power right 146 00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:01,480 Speaker 1: you know, there their power zone, so to speak, you know, 147 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:03,719 Speaker 1: going in that direction to have a tendency to pullets 148 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 1: like playing golf, same thing, you know, you you know 149 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 1: about that a little bit. You're you've mentioned already, you know, 150 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 1: a boomerang, kicking on side, the fake punt, uh, the 151 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 1: kickoff you just mentioned. What's the line between trying to 152 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,240 Speaker 1: get too cute and just you know, going and booming 153 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 1: and ball and and these these these things are routing 154 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 1: things for us as far as kickers are concerned, because 155 00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 1: that's their job. Like the boomerang for Riley, that's that's 156 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 1: part of his job. The onside kick part of his job, 157 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,040 Speaker 1: like all those things, that's something that those guys get 158 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 1: paid to do, you know. So it's it's no different 159 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 1: than asking a WHY receiver to run a double move 160 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 1: route with a little extra on top of it, you know, 161 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:47,480 Speaker 1: as far as being able to set up a dB 162 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:49,360 Speaker 1: and that's their job, you know what I mean. It 163 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 1: might not be the easiest thing to do, but they're 164 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 1: paid to do it, you know. So those types of kicks, 165 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 1: those are things that we have to execute in those moments. 166 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:00,640 Speaker 1: You know, we get paid to perform a pressure. That's 167 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:04,280 Speaker 1: our job coaches, players. It's execution under pressure, so we 168 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:09,119 Speaker 1: have to be able to do that. You see guys 169 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 1: locked into this even though the results aren't coming. Yeah, 170 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 1: I haven't seen any signs of any uh I made. 171 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 1: Look at the end of the game the other day, 172 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 1: you know, it could have been very easily could have 173 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,400 Speaker 1: gone in another direction. You know, you you're quite frankly 174 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 1: getting your on the road and guys are fighting to 175 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 1: the end to try and win the game. You know, 176 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 1: so that that you know, I haven't.
