1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:03,680
Speaker 1: As you guys probably know, we have Greg Joseph on

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:05,960
Speaker 1: a roster now. He showed up a couple of days ago,

3
00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:08,600
Speaker 1: and we have him and Jude competing for that kicker spot.

4
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:10,760
Speaker 2: It's gonna be a good competition. Obviously.

5
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:13,360
Speaker 1: What Greg brings to the table is a veteran guy

6
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:15,640
Speaker 1: that's kicked in multiple stadiums, that has had a good

7
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:19,800
Speaker 1: percentage throughout his career. And Jude has shown a very

8
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:23,239
Speaker 1: promising preseason and has obviously done a good job in

9
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 1: the offseason and training camp and all his opportunities in practice.

10
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 1: So we'll have a better idea who becomes our kicker

11
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:32,240
Speaker 1: on Sunday as we get closer closer to that day.

12
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:35,479
Speaker 3: Going back the last Sunday, what did you see from

13
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:36,920
Speaker 3: Graham and warm ups?

14
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 1: You know, we had ultimate confidence in him to be

15
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:42,520
Speaker 1: able to kick kicks, and he did a good job.

16
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:46,559
Speaker 1: He had a fifty eight yarder in pregame and you

17
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 1: know he looked good.

18
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 3: A long bells are issue and he had to kind

19
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 3: of his workout to go.

20
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 1: Back and get confidence in himself to be able to

21
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 1: connect on kicks. We had confidence in him as well.

22
00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 1: In pregame.

23
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 2: It was status quo week anything in the warm ups.

24
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 1: Again, he kicked everything that we needed him to do

25
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 1: in pregame and he did a good job in that

26
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 1: he had confidence to start the game.

27
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,320
Speaker 2: We had confidence in him and he was excited to

28
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:12,199
Speaker 2: go out there.

29
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 3: Oh see, the worst case scenario unfolded. But just know

30
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 3: wing he came in with a lower body. Any thought

31
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,399
Speaker 3: to having Jamie handle kickoffs so wouldn't be in.

32
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 2: That huge right.

33
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 1: You know, it doesn't matter what position it is, you're

34
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: always trying to create flex at all these positions. So

35
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 1: these are all contingency plans you have throughout the week,

36
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:30,959
Speaker 1: and it doesn't necessarily matter whether you're a kick or

37
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,400
Speaker 1: a punter, the starting or five on kickoff, the left

38
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 1: center on koar. You're always training the next man up

39
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:38,399
Speaker 1: because obviously with a limited roster you have to try

40
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 1: and create some flex.

41
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,759
Speaker 4: In those situations where you guys are not kicking extra points,

42
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:45,759
Speaker 4: are not kicking if you'ld goal at the end, are

43
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 4: you consulted or are you giving your opinion on what

44
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 4: you should be doing there or is that just head

45
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 4: coaches call and you deploy what he said.

46
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 1: So throughout the game and throughout practice during the week

47
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 1: and throughout all meetings, we always have continuous discussions that

48
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 1: are always fluid and we're all trying to do our

49
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 1: best job to make sure we're trying to win the game.

50
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 5: I know we have a situation now where a kicker

51
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 5: gets hurt on kickoff, you know, regardless of what he

52
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 5: may or may not have had coming in. I think

53
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 5: back in the spring you had talked about the idea

54
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 5: that it had been floated out there with the dynamic kickoff.

55
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 5: The idea of it kind of puts your kicker at

56
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,359
Speaker 5: a disadvantage when everybody is up front, that last line

57
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 5: of defense. There's something like this almost magnify it. You

58
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:29,079
Speaker 5: think across the league, maybe teams look at who is

59
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 5: kicking off or is it just one of those isolated

60
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:33,639
Speaker 5: incidents that you know, you guys.

61
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 1: Have whenever there's an injury, there's always going to be

62
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: it's always going to be magnified. You know, the nature

63
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 1: of it is there was a holding penalty on it.

64
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 1: You still want multiple hitters on the ball carrier, and

65
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, there's you know, it's

66
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: a skill set that not many people have to be

67
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 1: able to kick off, you know, so again you have

68
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 1: contingency plans to make sure that you know certain guys

69
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 1: can do it, and you're working that throughout off season

70
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 1: and during the regular season and everything.

71
00:02:58,520 --> 00:02:59,359
Speaker 2: Why you were here.

72
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 6: Ja mcgillan hit a like forty yard field goal last

73
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,079
Speaker 6: last year, so he obviously can kick. Did he look

74
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 6: that uncomfortable to you on the pat that he missed?

75
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 1: We had ultimate comp and still do. We always have

76
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 1: confidence in Jamie. Again, the creating flex happens at every position,

77
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 1: and you're working those situations regardless of where it's at.

78
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 1: With that being said, you know, we've definitely put the

79
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 1: tape to bed and we're excited to go against Cleveland.

80
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,959
Speaker 1: You know, I truly believe Bubba does a great job

81
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: in terms of getting his units ready. He's been one

82
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 1: of the best coordinators in terms of getting his players

83
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: to play hard. He has good scheme, He has really

84
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: good players. You have a guy like Miles Garrett on

85
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: field goal block that is certainly featured. You know, he

86
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 1: has ability to jump inside, to rush edges, to different

87
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 1: creases and you could see how they're utilizing him. J

88
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 1: Okay is another guy that they feature and he does

89
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: a really good job. So we're really excited for the

90
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 1: challenge this week.

91
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 6: A little bit of minutia question, but how come Evan

92
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 6: Neil isn't on your place kicking team. It seems like

93
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 6: a Zudu is, but Evan Neil is not, and I

94
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 6: would think any snap he gets blocking would be helpful

95
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 6: for him developmental.

96
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 1: You know it again, like we we train multiple players

97
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: at different positions. Evan is certainly a guy that can

98
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 1: play all those positions, but certainly so is a Zudu.

99
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,600
Speaker 1: So we're gonna put out, you know, what we feel

100
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: is gonna give us the best chance to be able

101
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 1: to connect on these kicks with their best eleven.

102
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 4: On the on the opening kickoff?

103
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 2: What do you think broke down on the coverage?

104
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 1: So again, you know, I know I've you know, I've

105
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,160
Speaker 1: answered a bunch of questions with then I know David

106
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:32,839
Speaker 1: has kind of hit it.

107
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,280
Speaker 2: So the biggest thing to me is we're on to Cleveland.

108
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 1: You know, we obviously want to correct it on tape,

109
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: and we've corrected everything we need to.

110
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 2: So we're gonna move forward and obviously focus on being

111
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 2: able to stop Cleveland. Just lightings back to where you started.

112
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:51,479
Speaker 2: Greg is not guaranteed he'll be kicking on Sunday, so

113
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:53,840
Speaker 2: it's gonna be a good competition between him and Jude.

114
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,160
Speaker 1: What does Jude need to show you, Betty didn't show

115
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,159
Speaker 1: you maybe last week to elevate and bring up you know,

116
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 1: I think at the end of the day, you always

117
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 1: want to have multiple specialists on your roster, and for

118
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,039
Speaker 1: the reason of having good competition throughout camp.

119
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 2: I think it doesn't matter. It's no different than.

120
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 1: A Peace Squad player at a dB position or a

121
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 1: Peace Squad player at a linebacker position. You always want

122
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: those guys to have the ability to compete, to raise

123
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 1: that level. Jude again, have ultimate confidence in him and

124
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 1: his ability to go out there and have success.

125
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 2: And then the same thing with Greg.

126
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 1: You know, the thing that Greg has is obviously the

127
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 1: experience of kicking in games and obviously the good production

128
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 1: with that. And then Jude, you know, like I said,

129
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 1: at a very promising preseason, so it's not necessarily a

130
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,720
Speaker 1: lack of what he still needs to prove or still

131
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 1: needs to show. We're we're gonna take it down to

132
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 1: the wire and figure out who gives us the best

133
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 1: chance to win.

134
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 2: In Cleveland, you.

135
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 5: Didn't get to see a mirror in the game obviously,

136
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 5: but last week, what did he show you getting here?

137
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,280
Speaker 5: And then the idea of you know, how confident are

138
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 5: you still in him as as a punt returner?

139
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: Yeah no, and honestly being here for him being here

140
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 1: for a little bit over a week now, you're you're

141
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 1: excited for.

142
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 2: Him to get those opportunities.

143
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 1: The thing I love about him is he's not going

144
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 1: to necessarily you know, he's a great teammate and you

145
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 1: could feel that already, and when he gets his opportunities,

146
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 1: he's gonna be excited to take advantage of that. So

147
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 1: the person has definitely checked all the boxes. The players

148
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 1: checked all the boxes. He approaches the game the right way.

149
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 1: In practice, he's always asking questions on exactly you know,

150
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 1: where we.

151
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 2: Want things to to unfold.

152
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,600
Speaker 1: And you know, obviously we're excited for him when he

153
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 1: gets his opportunity to go out there and have success

154
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,479
Speaker 1: as Patrick Johnson signed to.

155
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 4: Help fill the gap or the void left by Carter

156
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,479
Speaker 4: Kofflin not being there on kick return and what do

157
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 4: you need from that spot?

158
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 1: So I don't necessarily get into the roster acquisitions on

159
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:48,679
Speaker 1: you know why they happen. I could say this about

160
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 1: Pat though he has played a lot of football in

161
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 1: this league and primarily on special teams, and when you

162
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 1: watch his tape in Philly, you see a guy that

163
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,039
Speaker 1: plays the game the right way. He plays with his

164
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,159
Speaker 1: hair on fire, and that that's pretty cool to see.

165
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 1: You know, when you get a guy on your roster,

166
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 1: you know, obviously during the season, and then you see

167
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 1: a guy that has physical traits that isn't afraid to

168
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 1: put hands on people when they're disengaging off blocks. And

169
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 1: then again, the experience of having over three hundred and

170
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 1: fifty plus snaps last year on teams, you know, he's

171
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 1: been in those situations that you know, make it a

172
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 1: little bit easier for him to basically acquire the knowledge

173
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 1: it takes to have success in a in a quicker manner.

174
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 2: And it's the decision to have Timan Foughts in that

175
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 2: spot last week.

176
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 1: You know, Timon is a guy that you know, he's

177
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 1: he's a chess piece. He has he has shown with

178
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 1: limited reps to be able to go into multiple different

179
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 1: spots on her on her special teams units and be

180
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:52,559
Speaker 1: able to have success. So his intelligence, his physical traits

181
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 1: that he has as an outside backer, you know, those

182
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 1: things whenever there's an opportunity to you know, get a

183
00:07:59,240 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 1: guy up to help.

184
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 2: You know, Timon certainly is a guy that comes to

185
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 2: mind just.

186
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 1: Because of his ability to play in multiple different roles

187
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 1: without many reps.

188
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 3: O Jamie's like the emergency plays kicker, kickoff guy. Does

189
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 3: he practice that during the week or is that just

190
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 3: a on game that if you need him, he's gotta

191
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 3: go switch over to that.

192
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 1: Again, with any position, you're always practicing it, and that's

193
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 1: a weekly thing to me.

194
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 2: You're practicing the flex of you're starting gunner.

195
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:27,239
Speaker 1: You're practicing the flex of your snapper, your punter, your kicker,

196
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 1: your holder.

197
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 2: Those things always have to be a constant, you know.

198
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 1: Obviously with situations that arose, so uh, you know, the

199
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 1: biggest thing will continue to hammer down on making sure

200
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 1: that you know, our guys are ready and if their

201
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 1: opportunity comes about, they got We have to have the

202
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:43,199
Speaker 1: ultimate success in him to have.

203
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 2: Success is great.

204
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 4: Joseph's experience kicking for a season in Cleveland important to you?

205
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 4: Is that stadium different for a kicker?

206
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, obviously with it being a weathered stadium,

207
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 1: I think the experience is always very helpful. And you know,

208
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 1: his knowledge of different stadiums and how the wind plays

209
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 1: in each of them is really really cool. Uh, so

210
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 1: you get to start I started talking to him a

211
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 1: little bit more about it, and you understand kind of

212
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 1: the way his mind works depending on which way we're kicking. Uh,

213
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,559
Speaker 1: you know, what are the tendencies of that? So that experience, certainly,

214
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 1: you know helps.

215
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 6: Is smith mare set not an option as a kick returner?

216
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 2: Certainly he has a skill set to do both, you know.

217
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 1: Ultimately, I think Eric Ray has done a great job

218
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 1: back there, and and so as Tracy. So not to

219
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 1: say that a mirror doesn't have a skill set to

220
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 1: do it. He potentially could get an opportunity. You know,

221
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 1: I think we have, you know, at least three really

222
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 1: good ones that you know, have the ability to take it,

223
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 1: take it all the way
