Speaker 1: great team. I'm just so happy and blessed I get

4
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:19,079
Speaker 1: a few more years here and get to play with

5
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:24,759
Speaker 1: guys like that, you know, Jake, can you describe the

6
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 1: moment you found out the deals? Don't? Um? Yeah, it

7
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 1: was just kind of on the phone, was my agent,

8
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,160
Speaker 1: and I was like, all right, that's it, We're good

9
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 1: with that. And it wasn't like a crazy big moment

10
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,559
Speaker 1: um but it was fine and a huge milestone in

11
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 1: my life and just thankful God put me in this position.

12
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 1: I think at the residence in you know, is this

13
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 1: something that's been fund your mind or he's waiting gonna

14
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 1: do it all anytime there's uncertainty, you know, it's just

15
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:02,319
Speaker 1: always something in the back of your head. But at

16
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: our position, you have to be able to just compartmentalize

17
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 1: and go out on the field and execute. And if

18
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 1: you're not able to do that with whatever is distracting you,

19
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,039
Speaker 1: you're not going to play for very long. Were you

20
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: pretty confident you perceive an extension or what was your expectation.

21
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 1: I don't know. I wasn't really expecting anything. I just

22
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 1: I was hoping I got to play on September eleventh,

23
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 1: That's all I was hoping for. Why is doing such

24
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 1: a good fit for you and somewhere you want to

25
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:35,479
Speaker 1: stick around? Well the guys obviously, teammates, UM, coaches, love

64
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,520

Speaker 1: rep in there, and it's it's all mental stuff. A

73
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 1: lot of teams have a lot of turnover within the

74
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 1: specialist group. Help. That's been you, Nick and Joe for

75
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:05,159
Speaker 1: what three years now, Yeah, two and a half three years. Yeah,

76
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 1: that my rookie year. We filtered in a lot of

77
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 1: different kickers, and that was weird and different. You know,

78
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:12,839
Speaker 1: I was just flying by the seat of my pants.

79
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,719
Speaker 1: And now it's been really nice having those guys and

80
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:18,839
Speaker 1: it's just nice being the young guy and still still

81
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:20,599
Speaker 1: being the young guy and get to look up to them,

82
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 1: so you enjoy not as much as Damien was. Yeah,

83
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 1: when Joe and Joe and I, yeah, it was so fun.

84
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 1: It just being able to be a part of Boston

85
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,799
Speaker 1: is an unbelievable city, unbelievable opportunity to go to games

00:05:42,800 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 1: like that. Observation three together all the time together. Yeah sure, Yeah,

87
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,359
Speaker 1: it's like the work everybody has a work wife, you know,

88
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 1: and it's it's like that with these guys. I hang

89
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 1: out with them every day NonStop for three six months

90
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: in a row, and it's there. You miss them in

91
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 1: the off season because they're your best friends during the season,

92
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 1: and then it kind of get sick of them for

93
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:17,840
Speaker 1: a few days here and there, and Joe makes too

94
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:21,719
Speaker 1: many jokes. But yeah, now it's it's good having them around.

95
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 1: You'reful family about the extension of them. They were with

96
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 1: me the whole time. I was bouncing ideas off of

97
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 1: them and you know, weighing different things. And mom and
