1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm a table fit. They're getting you ready to

2
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:05,720
Speaker 1: kick this week, so how ready to get you out there?

3
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:07,760
Speaker 1: All the time here on the practice but very ready.

4
00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:08,360
Speaker 2: I'm ready to go.

5
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:12,520
Speaker 1: What table made it seem like Fordobe, So it made

6
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:15,120
Speaker 1: it seem like you took some time for you to

7
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:17,319
Speaker 1: get comfortable with the operation. Made it seem like you

8
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:23,480
Speaker 1: have a very specific way of I guess, of getting

9
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 1: your operation down that maybe it's a little different than

10
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 1: everybody else is. Can you talk about that a little bit.

11
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 2: I think every kicker has a different saying, So it's

12
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:32,279
Speaker 2: not really like you know I'm coming in You're like, oh,

13
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 2: I want it this way. You know, everybody has a

14
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 2: different way of doing things. And you know I had

15
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:40,880
Speaker 2: enough time to get it ready with the with the guys,

16
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 2: so I feel ready to go find up.

17
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 3: What's what's it been like for you to be here?

18
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 3: You came here for an opportunity and now you've been here,

19
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 3: I mean first time really on a practice squad to

20
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 3: deal with it. What's it been like, what the challenge

21
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 3: has been? What it has it been good for you

22
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 3: in since to be able to focus on yourself a

23
00:00:58,640 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 3: little bit? What's it been like?

24
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, It's been great. I'm how I feel. I'm grateful

25
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 2: for the opportunity, and I'll be making account every week,

26
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,960
Speaker 2: weekend and week out and just saying ready for an opportunity.

27
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 3: Is it strange to have kicked in this league for

28
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 3: as long as you have? I mean, guys talk about

29
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,479
Speaker 3: veterans when they're on the practice squad. It's a different

30
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 3: world for a kicker. I would imagine it's even you know,

31
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:25,040
Speaker 3: more challenging because you're not kicking every day. What has

32
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 3: that been like and what is that adjustment money?

33
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 2: At the end of the day, I'll get an opportunity

34
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 2: to be on a team and just work on my craft.

35
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:33,040
Speaker 2: So I'm grateful for that opportunity to be here.

36
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 1: Did you I don't think we talked to you when

37
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 1: it happened, Like the last time Graham got hurt, they

38
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 1: went with you. Did you feel slighted by that at all,

39
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 1: like giving your resume and all. Did you feel like

40
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:44,320
Speaker 1: that should have been you?

41
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 2: No? I mean as a competitor, sure you want to

42
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 2: see the field, but at the same time, just been here.

43
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 2: He was kicking well in practice. That's not my decision.

44
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 2: But all I can do is come in and just

45
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 2: you know, kick well week in and week out, day

46
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 2: in and day out, and just see where that takes me.

47
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 1: Anything you've kicked in this league for a long time,

48
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: but will be if you get the chance, it will

49
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 1: be a little different kicking for the team that's you know,

50
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 1: ten minutes from where you grew up.

51
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:08,919
Speaker 2: Sure, I mean it's you know, I grew up right

52
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 2: by and it is. But at the same time, you know,

53
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 2: field and football Uprice, none of that changes, right, So

54
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 2: you just got to get the job done.

55
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 4: What's it like with the environment for kickers? Obviously in

56
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,920
Speaker 4: Atlanta or endorsed mainly, but when you're kicking outside, what

57
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,079
Speaker 4: is that challenge like for you as a kicker?

58
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean kicking indoors, sure, sure, But in Atlanta too,

59
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 2: we practice outside, We had outdoor games, and we played

60
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 2: in Chicago. We played in different places, so you know,

61
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:33,239
Speaker 2: how to deal with the elements. You just got to

62
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 2: see what the win win then stuff is like on

63
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:37,919
Speaker 2: game day and then just adjust from there.

64
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 4: You're playing in Chicago, What's what is it like when

65
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:42,359
Speaker 4: the wind's going up there? What's that like for you

66
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 4: as a kicker to try to you know, prepare for that.

67
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 2: The good thing is out here you get the same wins,

68
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 2: the different kind of wind patterns out here. You got

69
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 2: all kind of elements. So you get to work on that.

70
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 2: So trusting in debt preparation and then free game you

71
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 2: kind of go through what the wind is doing and

72
00:02:57,840 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 2: make adjustments from there.

73
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 1: You're to like reprove yourself or whatever. After whatever, Like

74
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: I have a chip on your shoulder at all, after

75
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:08,679
Speaker 1: you know, getting cut by Atlanta. Now you get a

76
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 1: chance to you know, show that like, hey I can

77
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:12,000

80
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 2: I know I can do and just show what I

81
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 2: can do.

86
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:32,359

87
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 2: I'll just go back to the routine, just the process
