1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:03,120
Speaker 1: How much is Graham's knee impacting him.

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:07,160
Speaker 2: Uh, you know, I'm not gonna get into specifics about

3
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:09,559
Speaker 2: his knee. You know, he's just working through some things

4
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:12,479
Speaker 2: right now, and uh, you know, hopefully we can get

5
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 2: it ironed out, keep rolling.

6
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 1: What makes less than one better than another option?

7
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:24,520
Speaker 2: Uh, you know, Graham's pretty good and he's better than

8
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:29,320
Speaker 2: most even when he's at eighty eighty seventy percent. So

9
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:32,159
Speaker 2: you know, again, we're just gonna work through it. You know,

10
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 2: if if it's something we got our dressed later with

11
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:37,519
Speaker 2: his dressed later, But right now, he's just working through

12
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:42,239
Speaker 2: It's it has nothing to do with being fine at

13
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 2: this point in time. Kickers, punters, linemen. Everybody's banged up

14
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 2: a little bit during the course of a year. So

15
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:51,560
Speaker 2: like I said, he's just working through, you know, some

16
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 2: some tweaks and we'll we'll figure it out. I'm not

17
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 2: asking as far as like a print injury up to

18
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:00,279
Speaker 2: I need more like your decisions about when the kick

19
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 2: getting whether or not. Like I think, you know, if

20
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:05,320
Speaker 2: he goes out in the field, he's got to be

21
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 2: capables doing the job, you know what I mean. So

22
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 2: it's it's it's just one of those deals like you know,

23
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,039
Speaker 2: you sign up, you put a jersey on, here we go,

24
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 2: it's time to go to call, you know, I mean

25
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 2: you got to make the kick, you know, So that's

26
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 2: just that's part of the job.

27
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 3: When he misses, it does seem to be most of

28
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 3: the time left has been.

29
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 1: Is there something you look at and say, you know,

30
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:25,040
Speaker 1: this is the reason.

31
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean you always go back and look at

32
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 2: the tape and figure out, you know why he's doing X,

33
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 2: Y and Z. But uh, you know he had that.

34
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,680
Speaker 2: That's kind of his miss you know when he does.

35
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: Did McDonald jumping over the line on that lastkick, that

36
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 1: effect anything could.

37
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 2: Have you know, it could have you know, even though

38
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 2: it was it was an illegal play it was, but

39
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 2: you know, very easily could affect the kick. You got

40
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 2: six foot six, two hundred and sixty pounds dude jump

41
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 2: in front of you that you know, that could that

42
00:01:58,880 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 2: could affect the kid.

43
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 3: Anything wrong with the operation on that field goal?

44
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 2: No, nah, nah, everything everything was fine. You know, obviously

45
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 2: you'd like to have everything perfect, but obviously it wasn't.

46
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:16,920
Speaker 2: So it is what it is. You know, we missed

47
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 2: the kit. You just gotta move on to make the.

48
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 1: Next, because you can do it in some jump over jump.

49
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 2: Over, it's just your alignment. You can't cover the center,

50
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 2: and he was covering the center.

51
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: But you can jump over alignment. It just can't be

52
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 1: over the center.

53
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 2: No, you can't align like, for example, my shoulders. If

54
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 2: you align inside the framework of the center, that's a

55
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 2: legal formation. You can't do that, So you have to

56
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 2: be completely outside of the framework of the center. You

57
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 2: can jump over the line of scrimmage, Yeah, you can jump.

58
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 2: You just can't use anybody to leverage or gain an

59
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 2: advantage in height. But you can jump from one side

60
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:00,359
Speaker 2: line of scrimmage and not touch any but laying the

61
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 2: other side's perfectly illegal. But if you line up within

62
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 2: the framework of the shoulders of the center, it's looking for.

63
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 3: It's the person who can't that right or you can't.

64
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:16,920
Speaker 2: Know No one can line up again, what do you

65
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:20,239
Speaker 2: mean he was did the shoulder and shoulder box.

66
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 3: At the center? Know what?

67
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 2: He was inside the box?

68
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 3: That's what I mean.

69
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was inside. That's why I said it was illegal. Yeah, yeah,

70
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 2: that's when that's what I said.

71
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 3: What did.

72
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:32,519
Speaker 2: You No, he did it. He did a great job.

73
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 2: Gunner did exactly what we thought he'd do. Uh, you know,

74
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 2: he did a good job of filling the ball in

75
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 2: the elements. It was rainy and nasty, and you know,

76
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 2: Gunner's being Gunner. You know, went to school to Bemnji State.

77
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 2: You know, it kind of gets kind of nasty up

78
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 2: there sometimes. So I was messing with him last week.

79
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 2: I see you passed a whole bunch of schools from Alvin,

80
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 2: Texas to go all the way to Bemnji State. But no,

81
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 2: he did a he did a good job he did.

82
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 2: Back to that play for a second, though, is that

83
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 2: a play that you would ordinarily see flagged and it

84
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 2: just wasn't. Yeah, it wasn't. Yeah, it wasn't.

85
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 3: You should puns are tired.

86
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 2: You know that guy's been He's been punting balls since

87
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 2: he was three four years old, so I think his

88
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 2: legs kind of have an endurance for a punting.

89
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 1: How does it change the blocking when you do the

90
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: rugby punts? Obviously he's holding the ball and probably be

91
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: longer right moving, So like, how just how does that

92
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:33,160
Speaker 1: change things protection with us?

93
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,599
Speaker 2: You know, obviously we change our protection with that style

94
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 2: of punch. So it's just a couple of different rules.

95
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 2: It's nothing difficult. It's something that he feels really comfortable

96
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,160
Speaker 2: with and he's actually faster doing it that way than

97
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 2: he is conventionally. So you know, we're just trying to

98
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 2: put him in a really good position to be his

99
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 2: best use all of his skill sets, and it kind

100
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 2: of helps us coverage too.

101
00:04:58,720 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 3: He taught.

102
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 2: You know, Thomas just got here and uh, you know,

103
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 2: he's doing a good job. He's trying to figure it out.

104
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 2: But all those guys are working at it right now.

105
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 2: We got a bunch of three or four guys that

106
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 2: are working in Uh, it just depends on how shakes

107
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 2: out on game day.

108
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, with more steads punts, I mean, you don't feel

109
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 3: inside the five is his punt just like dies right there.

110
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 2: Well, you know it's wet, you know, and uh, when

111
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 2: the field gets wet, the balls is gonna hit and stick.

112
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 2: You know that it's not going to roll, you know,

113
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 2: like it is when it's dry. So Thomas had a

114
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 2: he had a great game. Uh, you know, fifteen year

115
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,599
Speaker 2: veteran punter who's been around, he's punting in this stadium,

116
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:51,719
Speaker 2: you know, obviously for you know, it was the jest

117
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 2: before and coming back and just being years being in

118
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 2: the business and he's doing a great job and handling

119
00:05:57,720 --> 00:05:58,279
Speaker 2: the old ones.

120
00:05:58,640 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 3: He just had it a game
