• 0:36
  Speaker 1: down to you there? I mean Blake hit a great,
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: great ball there on the sixty and then you know
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Sam and the offense they did a great job. You
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: know she'd started out with a great return and then uh,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: they just went to work. So yeah, take a couple
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: kinds of the season where we've seen this offense with
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: the time and go get you into range, Like how
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: much faith do you have if they have a little
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: bit time that they're gonna get that always for sure?
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: You know, once once we get the ball back for
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: you know, if it's end a half, end of game.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: You know, me, Stoli and Dicko just getting our routine
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: on the sideline and just went ready for opportunity. Jason,
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: you mentioned Blake's kick there. You obviously know what it's
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: like to kick in the citium, try to kick ball
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: and kicks in the stadium. What do you kind of
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: pick in for him when he's going out there trying
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: to give them the lead, knowing similar spots you've been
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: in for and how how tough that that moment is
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: for him. Yeah, I mean, like I said that, that
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: was a great ball. He's sitting the ball really well.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: You know all day today I was watching a pre game.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: He hit the ball well. So to have a kick
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: by him, for sure. You've been in this league a
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: long time, made a lot of big kicks. What kind
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: of nerves, if any, are there when you're lining up
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: for a game winner in a situation like that. I
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: mean it is cliche, but like you, you're just trying
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: to stay in your routine. I work hard on that
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: in the off season. I work weekly with a guy
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: back home, So uh, you know, you're just you're trying
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: to make every kick the same, right if it's a
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: pat in the first quarter or game winner, you're sticking
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: to the routine and just uh, you know, just trusting that,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: trusting all the work you've done in the preparation. Just
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: just attacked the ball for sure. Is it like a
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: kicking coach or a mental coach us the sports psychologist
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Sucktor fight y out. Was it was that right at
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: your limit open them today? Uh, it was kind of swirly. Uh,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: it was kind of going that way or in the game,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: and then died a little bit. You know the the
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: fifty two hit four half, I hit good and I
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: saw the kind of the distance on that, and uh
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: that was kind of into So then I you know,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: I was just like, you know, I just just put
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: a good contact on it and just you know, slowly
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: had a great snap. You know, the rhythm was perfect.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: So it was awesome. You mentioned slowly and pick out
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: to make six field a little bit, everybody's not be
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: doing their jobs. Just how much confidence do you have
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: in the mechanics of that. Trust those guys full full heartedly.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: You know. We we work hard, like we're always on
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: the third field, right, like everyone's always watching offense defense.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: You know, our our periods are short, but you know,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: doesn't mean that we're not putting the work in, uh,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: whether it's the film on our own or if it's
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: on the side field between us, like we're always we're
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: always just working. So yeah, I trust those guys full hardley,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: like I said, and you know it, Yeah for sure
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: in a scenario like that with the games on the line,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: because it even the magnitude of that moment hits your mind,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: You're just like, hey, you're just gonna make it. You know,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: it's the first quarter or a walk off. Yeah, I said,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: it's you're trying to make every kick the same. You
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: just gotta trust that, trust the work in the preparation
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: you put in, and just stick to that. You know,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: if you try and make it bigger than it is,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: then that's when things kind of speed up. So just
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: trying to stick to my routine, hit my cues and
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: just attack the ball. How much how much have the
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: kickoff rules change? It seemed like that came in to
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: play a little bit there with those last two serieses
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: and teams getting you guys got di some decent return
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: and they kind of did as well. Yeah, I mean,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: you're you're you know, the timing plays into that, right
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: with the with the yardage and stuff like that. You
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: know you don't wanna you don't want to give them
• 3:47

• 3:51
  Speaker 1: at the end. And you know we have an amazing
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: kickoff team. So my job is to place the ball
