0:00:15.040 --> 0:00:17.279
<v Speaker 1>what that means for Punch or trust Way and Jeremy

0:00:17.320 --> 0:00:20.920
<v Speaker 1>Reeves Fresh So appreciate you coming back on a players

0:00:21.000 --> 0:00:23.680
<v Speaker 1>club with us. Good to be back. Season twenty twenty

0:00:23.680 --> 0:00:27.000
<v Speaker 1>two season is over. What will you remember most about

0:00:27.000 --> 0:00:31.680
<v Speaker 1>this this year? Yeah? I think, Um, Now, selfishly, I'm

0:00:31.720 --> 0:00:34.040
<v Speaker 1>gonna talk about the punt team, as you know, that's

0:00:34.080 --> 0:00:38.720
<v Speaker 1>typically what I focused on. Yeah, I think I think

0:00:38.760 --> 0:00:42.839
<v Speaker 1>that that Chicago game where we had been having a

0:00:42.880 --> 0:00:44.360
<v Speaker 1>pretty good year as a punt team, but then that

0:00:44.440 --> 0:00:47.960
<v Speaker 1>Chicago game when we had that turnover whenever the returner

0:00:48.000 --> 0:00:49.839
<v Speaker 1>muff the punt, we get the ball inside the ten,

0:00:50.000 --> 0:00:52.720
<v Speaker 1>we go on to win the game. Another muff punt.

0:00:52.840 --> 0:00:55.400
<v Speaker 1>Then the last game of the year, another muffpunt, and

0:00:55.440 --> 0:01:00.600
<v Speaker 1>then the birth of the gs NLS. Right, that bond

0:01:00.640 --> 0:01:04.280
<v Speaker 1>that I that's rights, the bond I had with the guys.

0:01:04.319 --> 0:01:07.280
<v Speaker 1>I just I just had had so much fun, and

0:01:07.319 --> 0:01:10.280
<v Speaker 1>that is that's part of the satisfaction and then also

0:01:10.400 --> 0:01:13.280
<v Speaker 1>part of just the frustration, and it feels a little

0:01:13.319 --> 0:01:15.440
<v Speaker 1>incomplete because it feels like it feels like we should

0:01:15.480 --> 0:01:17.800
<v Speaker 1>be getting ready for another game. You know, it feels

0:01:17.800 --> 0:01:19.959
<v Speaker 1>like we left something on the table. And so that

0:01:20.120 --> 0:01:22.320
<v Speaker 1>is definitely that bond that I had with our punt

0:01:22.360 --> 0:01:24.600
<v Speaker 1>team this year. Um, that was really fun to be

0:01:24.600 --> 0:01:27.880
<v Speaker 1>a part of. Speaking of those muff punts, Um, you know,

0:01:27.920 --> 0:01:30.120
<v Speaker 1>I love when I see our team take advantage of

0:01:30.120 --> 0:01:33.759
<v Speaker 1>those opportunities, and I'm I smile sometimes just knowing that

0:01:34.160 --> 0:01:36.039
<v Speaker 1>they got to give trust a little more credit because

0:01:36.040 --> 0:01:37.960
<v Speaker 1>you're doing some of that ball. It's something. It's a

0:01:38.080 --> 0:01:40.600
<v Speaker 1>spin on that ball, and and I love how they

0:01:40.640 --> 0:01:43.720
<v Speaker 1>slowed it down this past week when they showed it

0:01:43.760 --> 0:01:45.200
<v Speaker 1>and how it was coming down. I'm like to see

0:01:45.240 --> 0:01:48.480
<v Speaker 1>that's the spin. I'm telling Is that something that you

0:01:48.480 --> 0:01:51.920
<v Speaker 1>you emphasize in certain situations on the field or you're

0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:54.920
<v Speaker 1>doing that more often than we know. Yeah, So all

0:01:54.960 --> 0:01:57.280
<v Speaker 1>three of the muff punts, Um, they all took place

0:01:57.320 --> 0:02:00.360
<v Speaker 1>inside the twenty. Uh So I don't want to hit

0:02:00.360 --> 0:02:03.240
<v Speaker 1>a touchback and then you had a really dangerous returner

0:02:03.280 --> 0:02:05.920
<v Speaker 1>back there, Turpin who's going to the Pro Bowl. But

0:02:06.040 --> 0:02:09.359
<v Speaker 1>in general, when you're I call it in between clubs

0:02:09.480 --> 0:02:11.440
<v Speaker 1>so you're not quite going to hit your pooch punt

0:02:11.480 --> 0:02:14.160
<v Speaker 1>the end over in Australian style, but you also just

0:02:14.160 --> 0:02:17.360
<v Speaker 1>can't launch a bomb. So I kind of tilt the

0:02:17.440 --> 0:02:19.240
<v Speaker 1>nose up a little bit and I try and send

0:02:19.280 --> 0:02:21.240
<v Speaker 1>that thing way up into the air so it has

0:02:21.320 --> 0:02:25.120
<v Speaker 1>controlled distance while still gaining some ground. And so when

0:02:25.160 --> 0:02:27.040
<v Speaker 1>that thing goes all the way up and starts to

0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:30.440
<v Speaker 1>turn down, a lot of guys like Dax alex ericson,

0:02:30.480 --> 0:02:32.240
<v Speaker 1>a lot of the fellas have told me that at

0:02:32.280 --> 0:02:35.639
<v Speaker 1>some point it actually comes down almost backwards, and so

0:02:35.720 --> 0:02:38.600
<v Speaker 1>that i'd like to think I throw a little voodoo on. Yeah,

0:02:38.639 --> 0:02:41.600
<v Speaker 1>I appreciate it. Yeah, I was gonna ask ask you,

0:02:41.720 --> 0:02:45.079
<v Speaker 1>do you have different names for your punts like that?

0:02:45.480 --> 0:02:47.160
<v Speaker 1>You might want to call that when the voodoo, you know,

0:02:47.360 --> 0:02:49.840
<v Speaker 1>do you know? I will I'll call that when the

0:02:49.919 --> 0:02:52.400
<v Speaker 1>voodoo because I did. I don't have a nickname for

0:02:52.440 --> 0:02:54.079
<v Speaker 1>that pump. So yeah, I'm gonna call it, thank you.

0:02:54.120 --> 0:02:55.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna call that the voodoo ball. Now. So when

0:02:55.880 --> 0:02:58.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm in between clubs, it's time to bust out the voodoo.

0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:01.240
<v Speaker 1>Then I have what is called a screamer. So if

0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:03.120
<v Speaker 1>I see the returner playing me one way. I try

0:03:03.160 --> 0:03:05.959
<v Speaker 1>and hit this a low line drive like fifty sixty yard.

0:03:08.280 --> 0:03:10.320
<v Speaker 1>So I used to call the stinger, but Coach Nate

0:03:10.360 --> 0:03:12.560
<v Speaker 1>called it the screamer. I'll go with screaming. That's all right.

0:03:12.560 --> 0:03:16.000
<v Speaker 1>You got you got the screamer, you got the voodoo. Yeah, yeah, man,

0:03:16.080 --> 0:03:19.200
<v Speaker 1>we appreciate that. Yeah, appreciate you coming on the show

0:03:48.000 --> 0:03:49.840
<v Speaker 1>like I said on the first show after that Detroit

0:03:49.920 --> 0:03:53.240

<v Speaker 1>right there, the right place at the right time. Man.

0:04:05.280 --> 0:04:06.960
<v Speaker 1>How big is that for him? Man? I think he's

0:04:06.960 --> 0:04:09.400
<v Speaker 1>been flashing all year long and for him to end

0:04:09.440 --> 0:04:11.680
<v Speaker 1>his season, you know, having a big play like that

0:04:11.800 --> 0:04:13.600
<v Speaker 1>that you know that changed a lot of things things

0:04:13.640 --> 0:04:15.440
<v Speaker 1>in the game. You know how big you think that

0:04:15.560 --> 0:04:17.600
<v Speaker 1>was from confidence building? Man? When you when you can

0:04:17.640 --> 0:04:20.000
<v Speaker 1>do something like that to fake the game, Um, not

0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:22.240
<v Speaker 1>for the first time, but for the second time. Yeah,

0:04:22.480 --> 0:04:25.760
<v Speaker 1>um and uh on the stage like that end of

0:04:25.760 --> 0:04:27.760
<v Speaker 1>the season. You know, that's something that you can carry

0:04:27.760 --> 0:04:30.200
<v Speaker 1>into the next year. You know that that confidence booster

0:04:30.240 --> 0:04:32.840
<v Speaker 1>of like yeah, man on that dude and the guys

0:04:32.880 --> 0:04:35.240
<v Speaker 1>from the opposite team, you know Vet like, you know,

0:04:35.320 --> 0:04:39.560
<v Speaker 1>going's over there, Vett, dude established, you know, telling them

0:04:39.560 --> 0:04:41.960
<v Speaker 1>like hey man, you do like I respect that. You know,

0:04:42.040 --> 0:04:44.400
<v Speaker 1>like that's something that he can carry into the next

0:04:44.480 --> 0:04:47.560
<v Speaker 1>year and then every year. Speaking the Pro Bowl, you'll

0:04:47.560 --> 0:04:49.320
<v Speaker 1>be playing that in a couple of weeks. You kind

0:04:49.320 --> 0:04:51.200
<v Speaker 1>of got your list together. Who's going to come out

0:04:51.200 --> 0:04:54.359
<v Speaker 1>there and be with you the Pro Bowl. I ain't

0:04:54.360 --> 0:04:56.760
<v Speaker 1>gonna lie to you. Uh, it really ain't hit me.

0:04:56.800 --> 0:05:00.800
<v Speaker 1>I still even feeled out all the information so locked in. Yeah, man,

0:05:00.920 --> 0:05:04.839
<v Speaker 1>but uh, you know when that when that time comes,

0:05:04.960 --> 0:05:06.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, I figure i'd probably just be my dad

0:05:06.720 --> 0:05:11.320
<v Speaker 1>in all honesty, because um, I don't know how to

0:05:11.400 --> 0:05:13.520
<v Speaker 1>dinamic to know this stuff. It's the first for me,

0:05:13.640 --> 0:05:15.960
<v Speaker 1>So I don't know what's going on out there. But uh,

0:05:16.120 --> 0:05:18.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm just gonna right now the folks just go home

0:05:18.200 --> 0:05:23.000
<v Speaker 1>and you know, talk my family, um and go, you know,

0:05:23.080 --> 0:05:25.800
<v Speaker 1>talk to these kids and tell them like, man, um,

0:05:26.360 --> 0:05:29.880
<v Speaker 1>yeah I walked it, I did it. I'm here. Yeah,

0:05:29.960 --> 0:05:33.040
<v Speaker 1>Like you just show him, like you know, it's possible.

0:05:33.560 --> 0:05:35.960
<v Speaker 1>Now that's a good take, head. I mean, I'm sure

0:05:36.040 --> 0:05:38.719
<v Speaker 1>by time it's time you feel those forms out, it'd

0:05:38.760 --> 0:05:40.240
<v Speaker 1>be a two or three people you add to you

0:05:40.240 --> 0:05:42.200
<v Speaker 1>got to bring a friend or two with you. What

0:05:42.279 --> 0:05:45.400
<v Speaker 1>the guy what what the guys? The DVS cam and

0:05:45.520 --> 0:05:48.040
<v Speaker 1>uh you know Corn and Bobby and all that we're

0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:52.440
<v Speaker 1>talking about coming out there. You gotta have its Vegas too.

0:05:53.080 --> 0:06:05.680
<v Speaker 1>I never been to Vegas time. Yeah, I heard you're

0:06:05.680 --> 0:06:08.880
<v Speaker 1>looking forward to the flag football game or just kind

0:06:08.880 --> 0:06:10.919
<v Speaker 1>of just being in the pro bo with having that

0:06:10.960 --> 0:06:14.040
<v Speaker 1>experience in general, just the experience honestly, I mean, like

0:06:14.360 --> 0:06:17.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't know my story, like most guys don't get that.

0:06:17.440 --> 0:06:19.920
<v Speaker 1>You know, even guys that don't have my story that

0:06:19.960 --> 0:06:21.800
<v Speaker 1>get dropped you though, they still don't get that, don't

0:06:21.839 --> 0:06:24.479
<v Speaker 1>get them. So just the whole experience of that man

0:06:24.600 --> 0:06:27.680
<v Speaker 1>and being one of the you know, the best guys

0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:29.039
<v Speaker 1>in the league this year. Man, I'm just gonna so

0:06:29.160 --> 0:06:31.440
<v Speaker 1>call that in and use that for next year. That's

0:06:31.600 --> 0:06:34.159
<v Speaker 1>that's gonna be motivation in itself, man, And see those guys,

0:06:34.720 --> 0:06:38.080
<v Speaker 1>and it's gonna already make a person like you who's humble,

0:06:38.560 --> 0:06:40.440
<v Speaker 1>it's hungry to just go out there and want to

0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:42.479
<v Speaker 1>get out of it again. Honestly, That's what I saw

0:06:42.520 --> 0:06:45.000
<v Speaker 1>when I was out there, and I remember making packs

0:06:45.000 --> 0:06:47.280
<v Speaker 1>for myself, just mentally saying, Okay, I want to do

0:06:47.320 --> 0:06:49.680
<v Speaker 1>this and I want to see it again. Unfortunately, and

0:06:49.760 --> 0:06:51.919
<v Speaker 1>then paying out that way. I was an alternate I

0:06:51.960 --> 0:06:54.120
<v Speaker 1>think three or four times after that, but you know,

0:06:54.160 --> 0:06:56.280
<v Speaker 1>it happens, you know what I mean. But just being

0:06:56.320 --> 0:06:59.080
<v Speaker 1>around those guys, I still had a chance to embrace

0:06:59.120 --> 0:07:01.400
<v Speaker 1>the moment. So that's what you're gonna probably do it.

0:07:01.440 --> 0:07:03.280
<v Speaker 1>And it's a little different from our time and we

0:07:03.360 --> 0:07:06.000
<v Speaker 1>played in the game, and you know, probably gonna have

0:07:06.040 --> 0:07:08.159
<v Speaker 1>more activities for you guys to do that that we

0:07:08.160 --> 0:07:10.760
<v Speaker 1>didn't have to do. But you're definitely, you know, you're

0:07:10.760 --> 0:07:12.920
<v Speaker 1>gonna enjoy the experience. One of one of the coolest

0:07:12.920 --> 0:07:15.560
<v Speaker 1>things they did. Did I'm sure they probably still do it.

0:07:16.200 --> 0:07:19.400
<v Speaker 1>We used to visit one of the military basis, and

0:07:19.560 --> 0:07:22.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure they have basis out of and in Vegas.

0:07:22.120 --> 0:07:25.400
<v Speaker 1>So that's that's a cool experience. Just going able to

0:07:25.480 --> 0:07:28.560
<v Speaker 1>do that, I think we do. Oh really, yeah, yeah,

0:07:28.640 --> 0:07:32.720
<v Speaker 1>that's that's a pretty pretty cool experience. Man. I'm super Yeah,

0:07:32.720 --> 0:07:35.280
<v Speaker 1>I gotta go. I'll be going to our base back

0:07:35.320 --> 0:07:39.560
