1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:04,280
Speaker 1: He's happening. Guys, how you're doing today? Good? Joey said

2
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:08,000
Speaker 1: yesterday that right, we didn't have his best day punting

3
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:12,000
Speaker 1: last week. Was there anything specific that? Uh, you know,

4
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:14,960
Speaker 1: it's a bunch of different things you can put your

5
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:18,640
Speaker 1: finger on. But to me, at the end of the day,

6
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:22,720
Speaker 1: it really doesn't matter. Uh, you just gotta you gotta execute,

7
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 1: you know. Uh, I'll say that to the cows come

8
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 1: home if he was standing right here next to me.

9
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 1: You know, he understands that. You know, when you go

10
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 1: out in the field, you cross the white lines, you

11
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 1: got a job do. You gotta do the job. And

12
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 1: you know, he just has to get out of his

13
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 1: own way sometimes. Riley is he's affectionist, you know, and

14
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 1: he wants to do really really well, and we all

15
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 1: wanted to do well. But he puts a lot of

16
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,599
Speaker 1: pressure on himself. And he just has to understand when

17
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:52,919
Speaker 1: you go out in the field, you're not out there

18
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 1: by yourself. You've got ten other guys that are out

19
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 1: there with you. And he needs to do his job

20
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 1: and and and stop taking putting so much crush on himself.

21
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 1: What it sounds like it's a mental aspect to it, right,

22
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,680
Speaker 1: So how do you as a coach, like, how do

23
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: you go over about you know, handling that, approaching that,

24
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 1: trying trying to help him fix it. Yeah, my job

25
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 1: as his coach is just to encourage him and to

26
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:20,119
Speaker 1: find solutions to the issues. You know. So every day

27
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,319
Speaker 1: we're always trying to find a way to get better,

28
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 1: you know, as coaches employers. So when we go out

29
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 1: in the field, he punch well, the practices, punch well,

30
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:31,399
Speaker 1: the pregame. It's just there's something that he has to

31
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 1: work through from the time he walks out in the

32
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 1: field of time he takes a snap, just gotta gotta execute,

33
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 1: you know, he's he's got to focus on one little

34
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 1: thing and execute that one little thing, you know. So

35
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 1: whatever it's line, where it's the target or whatever it is. Uh,

36
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 1: he knows he has to has to do that. We

37
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: just got to do a better job of doing what

38
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 1: what's the challenge there? When when he does have a

39
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 1: good pun like the one early last week and it

40
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 1: it bounces into the end zone, I don't, I don't.

41
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: That's frustrating. But yeah, it's frustrating. I mean it's just

42
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 1: you know, and and again that it's you know, sometimes

43
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 1: you just have those kinds of years. You know, you

44
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 1: guys have been here. You saw him, you know, the

45
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: eight team and the team. You know, he had freaking punts.

46
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: He was in the top five, top ten or whatever

47
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 1: it is, and punchs inside the cornning, you know, and

48
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: then you have these years where it's just not going

49
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 1: your way. And that's that's the way the ball bounces,

50
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, That's that's football. Sometimes you're

51
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: gonna you're gonna get exactly what you want, and then

52
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 1: sometimes it's it's just the ball is gonna bounce differently.

53
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 1: So you know, you just got to focus on the

54
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 1: next next snap. You can't worry about what just happened,

55
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: and you just you know, trying to execute better on

56
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: the next plot. What do you want to be done differently?

57
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:44,959
Speaker 1: Under one where he punts it down there and dark

58
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 1: quess you know, is that amounting doesn't want to touch it.

59
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 1: Everyone sitting there and looking at him, what do you

60
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 1: what do you teach differently to the the gunner there?

61
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 1: He it's a single it's a single block. He can't

62
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:58,080
Speaker 1: go out of bounce. I mean, that's that's the carbon

63
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 1: rule of plus area A for gunners. You know, when

64
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,239
Speaker 1: you're you got a single block, you can't go out

65
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:05,920
Speaker 1: of bounds. You can't get pushed out of bounds, and

66
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 1: you can't run out of bounds, so you know, and Denardi,

67
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 1: you know, to his defense, he hadn't played gunner in

68
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 1: a long time, and I got pushed out of bounds.

69
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 1: You know, But excuse me again, that's that's football. I mean,

70
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 1: it's it's not it's not an excuse. It's just it happened.

71
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 1: So you know, we gotta do a better job of

72
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 1: coaching up to the poisoned aspect of it. What I

73
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:31,919
Speaker 1: mean by that is letting the other gunners know, hey,

74
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 1: look I stepped out of bounds. I can't touch it.

75
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 1: So maybe camp can react quicker to it. But you know,

76
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 1: but that's you know, anytime you have change like that's

77
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 1: when you're changing positions constantly and you miss a guy

78
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: like Keian Crossing, you know who's who's big for us obviously,

79
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 1: uh in that part of the game. You know, you

80
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 1: just gotta as coaches, we gotta do a better job

81
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 1: of coaching it up, you know, talking to him about

82
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: it and just give them reminders as they go out

83
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: in the field and making sure they understand exactly what

84
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 1: they're supposed to do. But when you have a seven

85
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 1: seven of your vet, you know, sometimes you take for

86
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 1: granted that they know exactly what to do. It's been

87
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 1: a while since he's done it, and again that's on

88
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 1: us as coaches, and we just got to do their job. Uh, Kiana,

89
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,279
Speaker 1: big hug when he came back. I don't know about

90
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 1: the big hook stuff, but I was happy to see

91
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 1: him back, that's for sure. Get him a punch upside

92
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: his head. No, I love kid and he's a good kid.

93
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:32,280
Speaker 1: I was always good to have you. You know, when

94
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 1: you get a kid like that, that kind of speed. Yeah,

95
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 1: how's right's kicking? Kicking? Like when Graham's not here to

96
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 1: see kick? Oh yeah, well he does some kicking. Uh

97
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 1: you know it's it's really it's it's a skill he's

98
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 1: been just trying to learn over the last probably the

99
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 1: last couple of months, just working on kicking off and

100
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,599
Speaker 1: it's something that that he wants to learn how to do,

101
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 1: so he's been working at it. But now he's Riley

102
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:06,479
Speaker 1: as a talented guy. He's shocking with some of the stuff.

103
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: Extra points. I mean, you know, you had no choice,

104
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 1: like he's a backl you know so. But now even

105
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 1: did you feel comfortable? Yeah yeah, I mean to kick

106
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 1: extra point? Yeah, I mean it's it is what it is.

107
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:20,919
Speaker 1: It's an extra point, you know what I means, Like,

108
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 1: you got no choice. But if you get a situational

109
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 1: where can he lift the ball off the ground and

110
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 1: it looks like an NFL kicker? Yes he can do.

111
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 1: What is where again? Yeah? Yeah, he just had like

112
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 1: a little stomach buggers.
