Uh, depending on 5 00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:15,360 Speaker 2: the formations that we use, depends on who we have up, 6 00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:19,759 Speaker 2: who's available, and uh, you know, and just being able 7 00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:22,600 Speaker 2: to get his speed on the field definitely and definitely 8 00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:26,759 Speaker 2: helps and we're we're moving in a better direction when 9 00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:27,200 Speaker 2: it comes in. 10 00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:31,320 Speaker 3: What do you because of using too or or like yeah, yeah, 11 00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:31,560 Speaker 3: just have. 12 00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:32,239 Speaker 2: A little bit more. 13 00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:36,000 Speaker 4: Speed on the field. Do you think of Uh, Paris's. 14 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:39,960 Speaker 2: Return it it wasn't bad. Uh, we could have blocked 15 00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:43,400 Speaker 2: it up better. Uh, but now it it was it 16 00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:51,360 Speaker 2: was what I expected. Even though it is it's as 17 00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:53,680 Speaker 2: clean as I wanted it to be, it wasn't. And 18 00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:55,840 Speaker 2: then for him to get to where he got to 19 00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,320 Speaker 2: without it being clean and just using natural run skills, 20 00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:02,680 Speaker 2: that's kind of what we respected from him. So we 21 00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:07,480 Speaker 2: just got to get better, just up front, just making 22 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:09,880 Speaker 2: sure that we're finishing blocks, being in the right spots, 23 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,120 Speaker 2: taking better angles, just details of our job. 24 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,759 Speaker 1: So why didn't you do James and Crowder, why didn't 25 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:18,360 Speaker 1: you get more of a look at returner here. 26 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:22,240 Speaker 2: You know it, all those guys were back there, you know, 27 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 2: returning kicks every day, returning punts every day.

You know, he's done it 30 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:33,840 Speaker 2: in the past, and we knew he had the ability 31 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 2: to do it. But you know, just trying to get 32 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 2: Eric back there comfortable doing it again. 33 00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:43,280 Speaker 4: Jamie's taking the next step this year. 34 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:47,800 Speaker 2: What do you tribute that to him? You know, yeah, 35 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:52,000 Speaker 2: he's he's definitely taking a step forward.

You 83 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 3: guys have a really good veteran here. Obviously he's been 84 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 3: doing it for a bit. How difficult is that when 85 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 3: management or whatever wants to go make a change there 86 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 3: and maybe sees a young guy they want to try 87 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 3: to get younger, longer, whatever it is, when you know 88 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,719 Speaker 3: you have something good already in hand. 89 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that that part of it, the decision 90 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 2: that's that's out of my hand. 91 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:33,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, but I just mean how difficult as he as 92 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,159 Speaker 3: a coach. You know, I'm not looking for you to 93 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 3: comment on Rochester, New England. 94 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 4: I'm worrying like that. 95 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 3: I'm just saying, how difficult is that when you you 96 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 3: a guy that wants to fight for the guy that's 97 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:43,280 Speaker 3: been been doing it for you. 98 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, you always want to have a veteran guy. I mean, 99 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,720 Speaker 2: when you have a proven guy like you don't want 100 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 2: to give away improving guy. You get a guy that's 101 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 2: that's done it for a long time, because you know, 102 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 2: I tell people it's all the time. Is like, you know, 103 00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,839 Speaker 2: once you get on the Kicker train, the destination is 104 00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 2: on known. So when you want when you're on when 105 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 2: you're on that train that's been steady and you know 106 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 2: the destination, you know exactly where you're going. You like 107 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,280 Speaker 2: to ride on that train, but when you get one, 108 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 2: you really don't know. You think you know, but you 109 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 2: really don't know until you know it could you could 110 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:17,599 Speaker 2: be anywhere. You can look up and you could be 111 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 2: halfway across the world, you know, before you find another 112 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 2: you know. So it's just that that Kicker train is dangerous. 113 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 2: It can take you anywhere, just gonna say, how much 114 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 2: are you happy that you're not on the kicker? I 115 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 2: love it. I love it, astress me, I love. 116 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:36,839 Speaker 4: It the end of the half again on the play 117 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,480 Speaker 4: at the end of the half there and situations like that, 118 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 4: how much are you involved knowing where it's a tight situation, Hey, 119 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,160 Speaker 4: we're gonna need X amount of seconds to run our 120 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,680 Speaker 4: guys out there, and do you discuss the play calling 121 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:50,800 Speaker 4: in that moment with that? 122 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean we got a lot of you know, 123 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,600 Speaker 2: we practice stuff every day, like today, we'll literally go 124 00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 2: through one of the same situations.
