1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:03,400
Speaker 1: Morning, cam More and Jeff, Hey, you noticed at the

2
00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:06,720
Speaker 1: end of the first half Sunday Nick Folk kicked off

3
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:09,280
Speaker 1: instead of Jake, and just wondering what the you know,

4
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:13,119
Speaker 1: what the philosophy was behind that or the reasoning. Yeah, no,

5
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:15,360
Speaker 1: we have different packages, you know, depending on what we're

6
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:18,760
Speaker 1: going to do from a cover standpoint, schematical standpoint, you know,

7
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:21,480
Speaker 1: just creates a different thing that other team let's prepare

8
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 1: for as well. Right, so you know, now you don't

9
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:25,919
Speaker 1: know if Jake's gonna kick off, is Nick's gonna kick off?

10
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 1: You know, it just gives morse teams as well. It's

11
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 1: something to look for. And then obviously, you know for

12
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:32,879
Speaker 1: us in the kicking game, you know, Jake and Nick

13
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:35,480
Speaker 1: they both do a good job horse, but it's going

14
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 1: to more back for schematical things and coverage philosophies and

15
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 1: you know, just reasons you know, for both of those

16
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:42,879
Speaker 1: guys to kick off in the game that opponents now

17
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:44,880
Speaker 1: don't know which guy's able to go out there because

18
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 1: obviously both guys can't kick off, you know, and go

19
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 1: cover kicks. Thank you, thanks you, thanks question Chris Ryan,

20
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 1: followed by Bob Soci He can how are you good Chris,

21
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 1: how we're doing good. I want to ask you about

22
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: Marcus Jones and what has impressed you to date and

23
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,959
Speaker 1: last week in regard to his ability to return kicks

24
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 1: and what have you seen from him overall? Yeah, no, no,

25
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 1: Marcus will continue to work hard. You know, he's been

26
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 1: doing a great job at practice, you know, getting better

27
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 1: each day working. You know, reading kickers, reading punters at

28
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 1: this level is a totally different you know app you know,

29
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,400
Speaker 1: I would say competitive advantage. You know, it's a harden

30
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 1: the college. You know, guys are really good at what

31
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 1: they do. You know, there's thirty two of them you know,

32
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:30,320
Speaker 1: on each team total, So those guys are really good

33
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 1: at what they do. So just an uptick and level,

34
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:34,960
Speaker 1: you know. But he's done a great job with Justine

35
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,399
Speaker 1: getting used to the NFL, you know, working every day

36
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 1: at practice. Can't say enough about the guy. He competes

37
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 1: every day, shows up every day. He's putting in the time,

38
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 1: the effort, you know, and he's made progress, you know,

39
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 1: whether that's filling the ball, running with the ball, you

40
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 1: know vision. You know, he's doing all the things and

41
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 1: little things that we even to do well. And he's

42
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: continued to showing improvement, and obviously you know he had

43
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 1: a couple of good ones on Sundays. You mentioned the

44
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: start of the season, there's gonna be a process to

45
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 1: determine who the kicking and punt returners we're gonna be predominantly.

46
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 1: Have you landed on Marcus Jones at this point, because

47
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: obviously his usage was up and his performance is obviously

48
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 1: good on Sunday. Yeah. No, that's a thorough process for us.

49
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:14,360
Speaker 1: You know, each week we go out there, you know,

50
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,679
Speaker 1: each situation, each week's going to be different, you know,

51
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 1: and we're you know, we're gonna talk to the guys,

52
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 1: they know the situations, and you know, the most important

53
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 1: thing we're doing is practicing, so you know each week,

54
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 1: you know, you guys just show up every week and

55
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: continue to get better, and you know that's kind of

56
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 1: what goes into it. And there's a little talk you know,

57
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,679
Speaker 1: behind the scenes obviously each week and who's going to

58
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 1: get the call that week, and you know, it's just

59
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: a thorough process and those guys understand that. Thanks appreciate it.

60
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: Thanks christ Chris, Thanks Christion, Bob Socie fall by Mike Grease,

61
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 1: all right, thanks days, Good morning Camp one. Of us.

62
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 1: He came on to ask you about um some puns

63
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,959
Speaker 1: in hidden yardage a couple times in the Pittsburgh game,

64
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:54,079
Speaker 1: and then on Sunday, Jake punted the ball toward the

65
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: middle of the field and wound up, you know, the

66
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 1: ball wound up going into the end zone for touchbacks.

67
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:03,239
Speaker 1: And curiously, the thinking in this situation or like when

68
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,799
Speaker 1: when well you put your finger on regarding kind of

69
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 1: the reason how that you know there's been more touchbacks

70
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 1: in those situations than I guess we're accustomed to. And

71
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 1: also how kind of punting has changed over the years,

72
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: Whereas he used to see guys with the coffin corner

73
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,239
Speaker 1: kicks and all his angle to the corners, it seemed,

74
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 1: and now the nose of the football down trying to

75
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,359
Speaker 1: get the bounce back to keep the ball in play

76
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 1: using all the field, if that makes sense. Yeah, no,

77
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 1: you know, I think each time you can keep the

78
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: ball out and returner his hand, that's has to factor

79
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 1: into it, you know, especially if a guy who is

80
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 1: dynamic back there. So each game is going to be

81
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 1: different situations him, you know, and Jake's doing a good

82
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 1: job hand in those situations as they're coming up for us,

83
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 1: you know, and we talk pre game, We talked, you know,

84
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: during the outthrowout the week, how we're going to handle

85
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 1: situation in the game. And he's doing a great job

86
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 1: hand on those situations because there's sometimes you don't want

87
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: to return or touch the ball at all, whether that's time,

88
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: whether that's score, or whether it's his ability. You know,

89
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 1: if you can net forty two everything ale punt out

90
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: there and the returner never touched the ball, that means,

91
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 1: you know, you're doing a good job. You're gonna be

92
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 1: top ten probably in the league. I would say by

93
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 1: the end of the year. If you're netting forty two,

94
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know exactly the numbers, but zero

95
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: zero chance of returning balls right there. You know you

96
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 1: would take that every time you know there's there's gonna

97
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,039
Speaker 1: be no returns against you. So there's a little bit

98
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 1: of communication obviously with him throughout the week. You know, it's, hey,

99
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 1: look at this area. I know we could probably you know,

100
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 1: maybe make a shorter punt, but now you're you know,

101
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 1: it's a long gonna be a longer punt. Say it's

102
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 1: gonna be a fifty yard punt, all right, But they're

103
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: gonna get a chance for a return, or we can

104
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 1: hit a bigger ball here sixty with zero or a

105
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,040
Speaker 1: chance to return right. So there's just you know, we

106
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: talked throughout the week who the returner is. What does

107
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 1: the team that we're playing do well? Are they a

108
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 1: return team? Are they a rush team? Who do they

109
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,480
Speaker 1: have on the outside that are covering obviously Matt in

110
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 1: school right now, that are only outside edge who have

111
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 1: done a good job for so each week, I don't

112
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 1: think there's gonna be a set number to answer your question, like, hey,

113
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 1: when we get to this yard line, we're gonna hit

114
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 1: the big ball and go touchbacks anymore? Or hey this week,

115
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: you know we're gonna you know, every week we're gonna

116
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 1: hit the sky point like you're talking about calfin corner.

117
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 1: I think each week is fluid and it's gonna change

118
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 1: every week. Um, I'm not big until the whole touchback number. Um,

119
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 1: I know that's one stat that a lot of teams

120
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 1: or people look at like, hey, he's got a lot

121
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:22,039
Speaker 1: of touchbacks. Well he also you know, two touchbacks have

122
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 1: been I guess over forty yard net So it's like

123
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 1: when you look at that and the returner didn't even

124
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 1: touch the ball, right, So there's zero opportunity for a

125
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: return and you're Nett and a good jardine there. So

126
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 1: there's a little bit more in my mindset of who

127
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 1: the returners are and who you're going up against versus

128
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 1: who cares if you get a touchback or not. I mean,

129
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,600
Speaker 1: you know, didn't do one. So um, I know the

130
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:47,719
Speaker 1: stats are probably out there and like, hey, you're hitting

131
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,280
Speaker 1: a lot of touchbacks. It's like, but I don't look

132
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,239
Speaker 1: at that. It's more of who you're going up against.

133
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 1: And you know, he's had on the situations great um

134
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: and it may not look great on his stat line,

135
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 1: which is a great for him as a team player.

136
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,279
Speaker 1: He's not worried about that stuff. You know. Jake handles

137
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 1: every situation great for us, and he does a great

138
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:06,920
Speaker 1: job there. I mean he's made great decisions for us,

139
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 1: like he did in the Pittsburgh game. Um, so he

140
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: understands situation and we're all here to win and he

141
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 1: knows that and we're not so much worried about that

142
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: part of it, right right. The broadcasters like to use

143
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 1: that term release this one as well. It's a I

144
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: think it's a good stat like when you and there's

145
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,280
Speaker 1: some merit to it depending on the situation, right, Um,

146
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,160
Speaker 1: but you have to look at every single situation and

147
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: I don't think you can ever look at a stat line.

148
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 1: That's why I'm gonna use stat got to be honest

149
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:33,599
Speaker 1: with you, Like, all right, this guy, this number is

150
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 1: no number. Well, what was the situation in the game

151
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 1: where they win, in where they lose? In did they

152
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,280
Speaker 1: have a dynamic person back deep that you didn't want

153
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,479
Speaker 1: to touch the ball. So that's where stats for me

154
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 1: get fuzzy, and you know it's like, uh, yes, no,

155
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 1: So it's more of a game by game basis, and

156
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: I think it's, hey, you had a good game or

157
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,040
Speaker 1: you didn't have a good game, based off of who

158
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 1: your opponent and what you were trying to take away from.

159
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 1: All right, cal, I'm appreciate it, Thank you, Thanks Bob Our.

160
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 1: Next question, Mike, Hey, Cam, how's my connection here? No,

161
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 1: you're good, You're good, excellent, excellent. Had two quick ones

162
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 1: Marcus Marcus Jones on that last punt return that that

163
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 1: bounced inside that he was lying. I think his feet

164
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 1: were at the ten or right in that range. Bounces

165
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 1: down at the two. Um what's the coaching point there

166
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 1: for him? Obviously not a return situation. You could see

167
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 1: the gunners bearing down on him. Um, you want him

168
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 1: to catch that ball if he can or what you know,

169
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 1: what's the judgment there, I guess from the coaching standpoint

170
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 1: for him in that situation. Yeah, you know, you don't

171
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 1: want to make any unnecessary risk at that point, you know,

172
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 1: so you obviously he was lined up at the ten

173
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 1: yard line. He's been lined up well, you know, we

174
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 1: talked a couple of weeks ago, like the eight yard

175
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 1: line different and that changes. Like I said, just about

176
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 1: situational ball. So you know, I was definitely harpening on

177
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: him before going out there, and that's just wish. Hey, look,

178
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 1: do not make any situation. We don't want to misshand

179
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 1: on this football or anything like that. So he made

180
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 1: the correct decision for what I'd communicate to it with

181
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 1: him right there. I told him, unless it's just really

182
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 1: really short, we're gonna just get away from the ball

183
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 1: here in this situation. Um, you know, you know, not

184
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 1: worry about let the bounce, you know, let him try

185
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 1: to play the bounce right there. So he made a

186
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 1: good decision for what I'm telling him to do um

187
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: in that situation for us, you know, and then maybe

188
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:16,679
Speaker 1: next week it changes. This week he may field that ball,

189
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 1: you know, you know and hold on to the ball

190
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 1: and then Kim just going on like what Coach Belichick

191
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 1: always says, like, we got to understand the rules so

192
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 1: we can coach it right. Like we can't. We can't

193
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 1: um judge the calls. Whatever the calls are, the calls,

194
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 1: but we can and on that horse caller, I just

195
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:35,839
Speaker 1: wanted to see what what did you was it the

196
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 1: left hand or the right hand, and what what was

197
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,320
Speaker 1: your view of you know, what he needs to do

198
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 1: differently there. Yeah, you know I've told schools after and everything,

199
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 1: We've got to just wrap lower. Well, we can't get

200
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: our hand up. I believe it was the left hand

201
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 1: um for him, but you know, we gotta wrap lower.

202
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 1: We can't you know, anything around the neck area, the

203
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,440
Speaker 1: back of the short bright wherever it is. Um. You know,

204
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 1: it's the action, the guy going back. We just gotta

205
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 1: wrap lower. We have to be aggressive to wrap. We

206
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:04,320
Speaker 1: have to wrap the guys up. You know, Rogers is

207
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 1: a very strong runner. Um. He's a tough guy to

208
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 1: bring down. It's not like We're out there tackling me

209
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 1: at one hundred and sixty five pounds, you know, so

210
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 1: you got to wrap the guy up and we got

211
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 1: to grab some cloth. We just have to grab it

212
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 1: lower right there for sure. Thank you Cam. Thanks, everyone's
