1 00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:02,360 Speaker 1: Hey, Nick, how's it going. I'm good. How are you 2 00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:05,480 Speaker 1: doing well? Thanks? So, I mean there's been a lot 3 00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:08,080 Speaker 1: of talks about how cold it's going to be Saturday, 4 00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:12,680 Speaker 1: potentially the coldest game in Patriots franchise history. How do 5 00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:16,880 Speaker 1: you expect for yourself personally to stay loose during the game, Um, 6 00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:20,479 Speaker 1: waiting for when your name is called. I mean, they've 7 00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:23,160 Speaker 1: got as much stuff that you can imagine on the sidelines, 8 00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:26,200 Speaker 1: with the benches and the heaters, and I'll keep my 9 00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:29,440 Speaker 1: sweatpants on, I've a jacket on. So um, it's not 10 00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:31,160 Speaker 1: the first time we've kind of played in the cold. 11 00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:34,559 Speaker 1: So um, it's kind of gotta deal with it. Um, 12 00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:37,440 Speaker 1: kicking on the net kind of being ready to go. 13 00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:44,400 Speaker 1: Thanks Nick, yep, next question, Alan Segel, Right, thanks very much. 14 00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:47,440 Speaker 1: How are you doing, Nick? Good? How are you? I'm fine? Thanks? 15 00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:52,000 Speaker 1: You know, along that lines of the cold. Um, obviously 16 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:55,400 Speaker 1: every game you go out there pre game, um, you know, 17 00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:58,160 Speaker 1: with the stop watch and and go from lote yard 18 00:00:58,160 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 1: line to yard line to see what the story is 19 00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,840 Speaker 1: a turn of availability to kick and how the weather 20 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:06,160 Speaker 1: affects it. How much extra work needs to be done 21 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 1: free game this week in terms of how the cold 22 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,800 Speaker 1: may affect the actual kicking and how the ball reacts. 23 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:15,880 Speaker 1: I don't think too much. We kind of get a 24 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,360 Speaker 1: pretty good feel for what's going on. We have our 25 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,000 Speaker 1: kind of routine, our game plan going into the game 26 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,480 Speaker 1: or going into pre game to kind of figure it out. 27 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,039 Speaker 1: So I don't think it'll it'll be too much of 28 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 1: a difference. You'll kind of get a feel for it 29 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 1: pretty quickly, have a feeling, you know, a little bit 30 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,840 Speaker 1: different than the last time. Last time was a lot 31 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,560 Speaker 1: of win. There's times, you know, super cold, so a 32 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,800 Speaker 1: little bit different. But um, I'm ready to go. Does 33 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,560 Speaker 1: the cold actually affect the ball in the distance it 34 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,920 Speaker 1: can travel? Oh? Yeah, that's simple physics there science if 35 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 1: you will, Um, and just not the air molecules don't 36 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 1: move as as freely inside the ball, so you can't 37 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 1: compress it as well. So it's just kind of you know, 38 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 1: when things are cold, things don't move as well. Thanks Nick, Yeah, 39 00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:08,360 Speaker 1: next question, Alex bath Hey Nick weather aside, is there 40 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,640 Speaker 1: anything unique about that stadium? You know, maybe the wind 41 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 1: overtook it all last time, but there's not many of 42 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,799 Speaker 1: those old school bowl style stadiums left. Is there anything 43 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:21,079 Speaker 1: different about that building that historically has been a challenge. Um, 44 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 1: you know, I think a lot of it is just 45 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 1: the weather of the day really because we've played there. 46 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,079 Speaker 1: I've played there, there's a prevailing wind which you kind 47 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 1: of get, which was a little bit of what we 48 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:33,959 Speaker 1: had last time, kind of down the field ish, But 49 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,560 Speaker 1: then there can be days where it's swirling and days 50 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 1: where it's really calmed. My first game ever up there, 51 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,079 Speaker 1: it was a Monday night game in a seven and 52 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 1: it was no wind at all. So it just it 53 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 1: just depends on the day. And you know, we're getting 54 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:49,960 Speaker 1: into January football, so I kind of expect it to 55 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:56,239 Speaker 1: be cold and windy. Cool. Thank you, yep. Next question, 56 00:02:56,360 --> 00:03:01,959 Speaker 1: Mike race Nick, thanks for doing this. Thirty seven years young, 57 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,919 Speaker 1: and we've seen players at your position kick well into 58 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:07,880 Speaker 1: the forties and I just wanted to ask you just 59 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,520 Speaker 1: sort of is it sort of your intention to keep going, 60 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 1: you know after this season. Yeah, I'd love to keep playing. Um, 61 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,240 Speaker 1: you know, I feel pretty good where I'm at right now. Um, 62 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,639 Speaker 1: have a good you know, kicking well with Jake and Joe, 63 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 1: So um, I'd love to keep playing. But I think 64 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 1: the biggest focus is just on Buffalo. Um, It's I 65 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 1: haven't really given it too much thought. I know I'd 66 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 1: love to keep playing, but I've really been trying to 67 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 1: really focus on this game and then then kind of 68 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 1: go from there. The next question, Matt Fatal, you still 69 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 1: uh do you still day dream about making a big 70 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 1: game winning field going to playoff? Is it something still 71 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 1: goes through your mind and kind of excite you as 72 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 1: you go through your process. Always, UM, lucky enough to 73 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 1: have one of those under my belt twenty ten. I 74 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 1: think it was UM, But I think UM, it's kind 75 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 1: of any any kicker's dream to have a big kick 76 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 1: in UM in a big game. So any anytime you 77 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 1: get a chance to go out there and make a 78 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 1: kick is a big one. Doesn't really matter the time 79 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 1: of the game and of the game. You just kind 80 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 1: of get to put a cherry on top. So UM, 81 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 1: I'm just excited to get out there and play with 82 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,920 Speaker 1: these guys. When you first what were you watching the 83 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 1: Chargers Raiders the other the other day? And when you 84 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:22,960 Speaker 1: watch a kick like that at the end of the 85 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 1: game with all those things on the line, are you 86 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 1: picturing yourself in that situation when you watch other other kickers? 87 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:30,920 Speaker 1: Is that kind of what's going through your mind. Yeah, 88 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,040 Speaker 1: a little bit. I mean you kind of you don't 89 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 1: know the exact whether what's going on, so you can't 90 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 1: really tell what line they're taking. I think they played 91 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 1: in the dome, so you can kind of figure it out. 92 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,719 Speaker 1: But um, kind of as a kicker, I kind of 93 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,360 Speaker 1: go through where I would be aiming, what i'd be doing. Um, 94 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 1: So yeah, you kind of put yourself in that situation 95 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 1: anytime you you kind of see it happening on TV 96 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 1: and kind of try to get yourself mentally right for 97 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:58,160 Speaker 1: when those situations come up. When you were younger, your kid, 98 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 1: first daydreaming about doing this. Who who were you pretending 99 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 1: to be? Who? What stadium were you in when when 100 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 1: you were doing this and at home or what was it? 101 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 1: That's a good question. Um. I mean I didn't really 102 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 1: start kicking until I was in high school, so it 103 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 1: was a late nineties there. Um, when I was in heish. Yeah, 104 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:22,920 Speaker 1: I was a senior high school and Vinny kicked the 105 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 1: game winner and then had the the snow kick the 106 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 1: tuck rule kick as well, so I was I guess 107 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:31,440 Speaker 1: I would say it was then because that's when kicking 108 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 1: kind of came to the forefront. For me. Um, I 109 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 1: was a soccer kid growing up. That was what we 110 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,159 Speaker 1: watched all the time. We were up late watching soccer games, 111 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,600 Speaker 1: up early watching soccer games. So um, I didn't really 112 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 1: kind of paid too much attention until it was really 113 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 1: Vinny and um, you know he had a bunch in 114 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,280 Speaker 1: a row there where you know, I made some big kicks, 115 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,159 Speaker 1: So I guess who'd have to be Adam in the dairy. 116 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 1: So those Patriots games, those Patriots kicks were were something 117 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,800 Speaker 1: particularly special for for you, even growing up where you 118 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 1: grew up. Yeah, I mean, I mean the super Bowl obviously, 119 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,279 Speaker 1: those are the big ones. You're a national TV games. 120 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:11,160 Speaker 1: I mean all the playoff games are as well. Um, 121 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,279 Speaker 1: so you just kind of you see them and you 122 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 1: know the magnitude of the game, the magnitude of the situation, 123 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,080 Speaker 1: what's going on. So um, you're you're always kind of 124 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,480 Speaker 1: in that. You see that all the time, being out 125 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,560 Speaker 1: on the West Coast, So um, those were fun to 126 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:29,840 Speaker 1: kind of grow up seeing what's going on. Thank you. Yep.
