  Speaker 2: I seen him do it in Walmar. It was actually
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: earlier today, and I see him doing in practice a lot,
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: so I was soper excited to see him doing in
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: the game.
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: Seven year a field goal. That's something crazy to kind
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: of be a part of, right, Yeah.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: That's the crazy. I can't even kick probably twenty So.
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: How long would that?
• 1:05
  Speaker 7: How long would that mistackle stick in your head?
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: How long would a stick?
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you're able to flush it right away.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: We could flush it right away and just get back,
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: get back to business and you know what I gotta
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: do next one.
• 1:16
  Speaker 6: You feel like you did it, You feel like you
• 1:18
  Speaker 6: did a good job of covering when the one made
• 1:20
  Speaker 6: that sad cause he looked your way and then there's
• 1:23
  Speaker 6: nothing there.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I definitely did a good job covering. I
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: feel like if you had thought it definitely would have
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: been an interception. But he seen me come down on this,
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: so he just he ate it, he ate the sad.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: How much do you guys have to clean up?
• 1:36
  Speaker 6: You think offense final it was just one drive, But
• 1:39
  Speaker 6: how much we can leave out there on that first ride?
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we just gotta go back and go to work.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: You know, stuff inflicting wounds, We just gotta clean up
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: and just we know what we can do. So we
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: just gotta continue to do that and make the projects
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: that we need to make.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: But you're used to playing so much as it tough
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: to be in a game like this one when you're
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: pretty much done after the first quarter.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: Uh No, it's not tough because I want to see
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: you know, some of my other teammates go to work
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: and you know, earn a spot and do their thing. Person.
• 2:03
  Speaker 8: Yeah, it's good to get back out there, just to
• 2:05
  Speaker 8: be live game setting. You know, it felt good, feel
• 2:08
  Speaker 8: good to be back out there. Some stuff to clean up,
• 2:11
  Speaker 8: you know, operationally, a couple of penalties, you know, especially
• 2:15
  Speaker 8: our drive to start the game, got behind the sticks
• 2:17
  Speaker 8: early first play obviously penalty and then gotten second and
• 2:20
  Speaker 8: first or second and long with the later penalty in
• 2:23
  Speaker 8: the drive. So some of that stuff to clean up
• 2:25
  Speaker 8: just setting us back a little bit of having to
• 2:26
  Speaker 8: try to get back on track. But I hope there
• 2:29
  Speaker 8: were some good stuff out there. Like always, like I said,
• 2:32
  Speaker 8: there'll be a lot of stuff to learn from the
• 2:33
  Speaker 8: tape and we'll learn from it.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Was that first drive enough to kind of get your
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: feet wet and back in the flow of things.
• 2:38
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean it's like these games. You know, you
• 2:41
  Speaker 8: know you're not gonna play much. It's kind of like
• 2:43
  Speaker 8: you want you get in a rhythm, or you want
• 2:44
  Speaker 8: to get in a rhythm, and then it's just so short,
• 2:46
  Speaker 8: like you know, sometimes it's hard to get in the flow.
• 2:47
  Speaker 8: So it'd have been nice to obviously, once you get
• 2:50
  Speaker 8: out there and get playing, you want to keep going.
• 2:51
  Speaker 8: But I think we're doing the right thing being smart,
• 2:53
  Speaker 8: eting guys healthy, and but it was good I think
• 2:55
  Speaker 8: just to see the offense go in a real game
• 2:57
  Speaker 8: setting live, you know, protect shin run game finishing, and
• 3:02
  Speaker 8: then obviously all the procedures and penalties when you get
• 3:04
  Speaker 8: out there, all that stuff is magnified, all the little
• 3:06
  Speaker 8: mistakes that sometimes are always caught in practice because you
• 3:09
  Speaker 8: don't always have you know, the full official deal. So
• 3:13
  Speaker 8: I think that was a good, you know, good thing
• 3:15
  Speaker 8: for us to see is like, hey, this stuff is
• 3:17
  Speaker 8: you know, critical, and it can set a drive back
• 3:19
  Speaker 8: if you have a big penalty and playing behind the chains.
• 3:22
  Speaker 6: Late level is to have Cam knowing that he's gotten
• 3:26
  Speaker 6: unlove range. I mean, does that does it does that
• 3:29
  Speaker 6: help you play call Lives? Does it helped situationally to
• 3:32
  Speaker 6: know that you've got three points in your pocket now.
• 3:34
  Speaker 8: Yeah, it's unbelievable, especially with the new you know, the
• 3:36
  Speaker 8: new kickoff deal more returns you know, quits to typically
• 3:40
  Speaker 8: a better field position and then if it goes in
• 3:41
  Speaker 8: the ends and you get out the thirty five, I
• 3:43
  Speaker 8: mean with him, you're it's an I I mean, you're
• 3:46
  Speaker 8: what is that ten yards away from a field goal?
• 3:49
  Speaker 8: I mean, I don't think we're going to be next
• 3:50
  Speaker 8: seconking seventy yarders in the first quarter or anything like that,
• 3:53
  Speaker 8: So we'd like to get him a little closer. But
• 3:54
  Speaker 8: unbelievable to see.
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: Him make that. I mean, he's he's an awesome, awesome guy, awesome.
• 3:58
  Speaker 8: Player obviously, but yeah, that's huge, especially those two minute
• 4:02
  Speaker 8: drills when you feel like if you can get it
• 4:04
  Speaker 8: near the fifty, you got.
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: A really good shot. You know, have a guy like
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: that's a weapon.
• 4:08
  Speaker 7: First time you've been hit, I think since December, since
• 4:10
  Speaker 7: the hit here, it does it feel good to get
• 4:13
  Speaker 7: that and just brush it off and go back to yeah,
• 4:16
  Speaker 7: being normal.
• 4:16
  Speaker 8: Yeah, that's like, like like I said at first, you know,
• 4:18
  Speaker 8: for me, just getting back out there where you can't
• 4:20
  Speaker 8: get hit, you don't have the red jersey on and
• 4:22
  Speaker 8: fill in the pass rush kind of settling in there,
• 4:24
  Speaker 8: and guys are a great job up front.
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 4:26
  Speaker 8: The one time I did get hit, I kind of
• 4:28
  Speaker 8: scrambled off the middle and you know, they did a
• 4:30
  Speaker 8: nice job. But yeah, it feels good to That's that's
• 4:33
  Speaker 8: real game stuff, you know, getting hit and not having
• 4:34
  Speaker 8: the red jersey on.
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: So it was nice to be back out there. Intentional
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: is up to get everybody a touch.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: I think you got them.
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: All for the ball.
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, it's it is intentional.
• 4:44
  Speaker 8: We have so many playmakers you want to get them
• 4:46
  Speaker 8: all involved and early and like guys get the rock
• 4:49
  Speaker 8: and do something with it. So I think that is
• 4:51
  Speaker 8: intentional for sure. And then there's times where the ball
• 4:54
  Speaker 8: just kind of finds finds guys more than others. I
• 4:56
  Speaker 8: think in games like this, obviously you want to see
• 4:59
  Speaker 8: you want to spread the ball, you want to get
• 5:00
  Speaker 8: guys touches, get him going, kind of see what.
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: To what we can do. But I thought the guy's
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: a nice job. Obviously we had the one drive, so
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: it's hard to really.
• 5:08
  Speaker 8: Evaluate beyond that, but yeah, I thought the guys did
• 5:11
  Speaker 8: a good job when their number was called.
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: Do you benefit at all from even watching that last
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: two minute drill and what you would do and kind
• 5:19
  Speaker 5: of simulate in your mind what you like to call
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: and all.
• 5:21
  Speaker 8: That for sure, because it's the same offense. You know,
• 5:23
  Speaker 8: obviously it's not me and it's not the ones out
• 5:26
  Speaker 8: there running it, but it's the same offense. You're hearing,
• 5:28
  Speaker 8: I'm hearing Liam call it, I'm hearing how he's calling
• 5:30
  Speaker 8: at the tempo, kind of what he's thinking. And you
• 5:33
  Speaker 8: take all those mental notes throughout the game of just
• 5:35
  Speaker 8: what we're doing. And obviously you're not game playing necessarily
• 5:37
  Speaker 8: for the preseason, but those situations are crucial to hear
• 5:41
  Speaker 8: how he's calling it and to play it, trying to
• 5:43
  Speaker 8: play it as real as I can from the sideline
• 5:45
  Speaker 8: and just bank extra reps. I think that's the biggest thing,
• 5:48
  Speaker 8: is watching every play and trying to see, you know,
• 5:49
  Speaker 8: what decision I'd make on different plays.
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: Was there ever a doubt you can't lie.
• 5:54
  Speaker 9: There's probably a little bit of that, But I mean,
• 5:56
  Speaker 9: read attempted a lot of long field goals in training
• 5:58
  Speaker 9: camp on the opportunity. A couple of times they had
• 6:01
  Speaker 9: some sixty sixty five plus this before, and so you know,
• 6:04
  Speaker 9: I really wanted to just go out there and see
• 6:06
  Speaker 9: what would get I mean, we you know, kind of
• 6:09
  Speaker 9: arrange I guess you could say. And so I wanted
• 6:11
  Speaker 9: to go out there and see what we could do
• 6:12
  Speaker 9: and ended up going over there, right, So it was
• 6:14
  Speaker 9: pretty cool.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: How much confidence I mean, does that give you that
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: the coach, that coach Cone even has the confidence to
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: send you out there for that a lot?
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: You know, I was kind of me and Logan were like,
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: we want to kick it.
• 6:25
  Speaker 9: We want to kick and so when he gave me
• 6:26
  Speaker 9: the opportunity was obviously, you know, you go out there
• 6:29
  Speaker 9: and you want to at least make sure you get
• 6:31
  Speaker 9: there to make sure it's like okay, well we're not
• 6:33
  Speaker 9: gonna throw them back out there for another deep field,
• 6:34
  Speaker 9: but like that.
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: But we went out there and adrenaline is a beautiful thing.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: But yeah, we went out there and executed.
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: Was this celebration like the sideline cleared for you.
• 6:43
  Speaker 9: Gosh, dude, it was like I was playing soccer again.
• 6:45
  Speaker 9: I I don't really like, I don't celebrate over cacks
• 6:48
  Speaker 9: a lot, but.
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: That one was one. I was like, okay, I got too.
• 6:50
  Speaker 6: It's like crazy that that we got that electric for preseason.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was pretty electric, which I mean credit to
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: our fans.
• 6:57
  Speaker 9: That's pretty sick that we made a good showing tonight
• 6:59
  Speaker 9: and obviously is really loud.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: So I was so sick. I felt like I was
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: a regular season game.
• 7:03
  Speaker 7: If you kicked your phone, what's it looked? What's it
• 7:04
  Speaker 7: looked like? From a blow up standpoint.
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: I didn't even check the text, honestly, I just saw
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: it and I scrolled through. I was like, oh gosh,
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: here we go.
• 7:12
  Speaker 9: So yeah, I saw him half time. Yeah, he was
• 7:16
  Speaker 9: just like, dude, I was in the bathroom when you
• 7:18
  Speaker 9: kicked it, so yeah.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: He's like, man, I didn't get to see it, but
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: he's like, dude, I heard you smash it. I was like, honestly,
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: I couldn't see that far.
• 7:26
  Speaker 9: It was flying him too tall, so I couldn't really
• 7:28
  Speaker 9: see over him. And when Logan's eyes got really big,
• 7:31
  Speaker 9: he was like, start freaking out. Yeah, look, yeah, you
• 7:33
  Speaker 9: can see that was a pudder right there. But it
• 7:35
  Speaker 9: was about the older one who thought it was gold dude.
• 7:37
  Speaker 9: And uh so I caught it really good, obviously, but
• 7:41
  Speaker 9: I don't know how much better I could kick it.
• 7:42
  Speaker 7: I don't how much further I can kick it with
• 7:43
  Speaker 7: that one so it would have been good from probably
• 7:46
  Speaker 7: seventy three to seventy four.
• 7:47
  Speaker 9: Right, Really, I haven't I haven't seen I haven't even
• 7:49
  Speaker 9: seen the kick. So I've just watched the beginning of
• 7:52
  Speaker 9: it and I went showering. Now I'm here, So but
• 7:55
  Speaker 9: take a look at it. See how long it would
• 7:56
  Speaker 9: have been good for the fifty two year order at
• 7:58
  Speaker 9: the end hard kind of yes, I feel like yes
• 8:03
  Speaker 9: and no. It's like I go out there for a
• 8:04
  Speaker 9: routine field goal. I was, you know, joking with someone
• 8:06
  Speaker 9: at hot time. I was like, now you go out
• 8:08
  Speaker 9: there in a forty six. There's a lot more pressure
• 8:09
  Speaker 9: on that forty six because I know if you can
• 8:11
  Speaker 9: make from back there, you should make it them right here.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: But no, I think that was a pretty routine kick
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: and it's good.
• 8:15
  Speaker 9: I'm glad I got the opportunity to kick those because
• 8:17
  Speaker 9: when you get those opportunities lay in the fourth quarter,
• 8:21
  Speaker 9: even when you know you need it to you know,
• 8:23
  Speaker 9: get a chance to win a game. I like, you know,
• 8:26
  Speaker 9: because those obviously situations are gonna come up regular season
• 8:29
  Speaker 9: a lot. So good opportunity to go out there. Needed
• 8:32
  Speaker 9: a deep field goal to get us in a touchdown
• 8:33
  Speaker 9: range and you know, we made.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: It, so it was good pressure. There's a routine now
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: we knew. Yeah, I mean for if you really look
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: at it like that.
• 8:40
  Speaker 9: Yeah, in the NFL, it is now you see like
• 8:42
  Speaker 9: guys like obviously no Boswell then kicked tonight for Pittsburgh,
• 8:45
  Speaker 9: but you.
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: See how many I mean He's going out there in first.
• 8:47
  Speaker 9: Quarter hitting fifty eight orders. Brandon Aubrey for the Cowboys
• 8:50
  Speaker 9: going out there kicking sixty three orders in the first quarter.
• 8:53
  Speaker 9: So yeah, I think it's you know, it's expected. I
• 8:55
  Speaker 9: was now, which is a good thing and a bad thing.
• 8:57
  Speaker 9: It takes your talent still lot so, but.
• 8:59
  Speaker 7: Yeah, like pressure now like you got to make a
• 9:01
  Speaker 7: seventy yarder in the real season.
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, one hundred percent.
• 9:04
  Speaker 9: And I feel like it's it's not really a pressure,
• 9:06
  Speaker 9: it's more of just you got to expect. I mean,
• 9:09
  Speaker 9: the bar is just getting set so much higher for
• 9:10
  Speaker 9: kickers from high school to college and now for college
• 9:13
  Speaker 9: is the NFL. So I think it's just evolving and
• 9:16
  Speaker 9: guys are just being able to hit the ball so
• 9:18
  Speaker 9: much further, Like you'd be surprised. There's a lot of
• 9:20
  Speaker 9: guys around the league that could hit at that distance.
• 9:23
  Speaker 9: It's all about, you know, keeping it straight. So yeah,
• 9:26
  Speaker 9: the bar is definitely set higher. And you know there's
• 9:29
  Speaker 9: probably gonna be a guy this season that's gonna go
• 9:31
  Speaker 9: out there and kick a seventy plus order if I
• 9:33
  Speaker 9: would have bring one money on it.
• 9:35
  Speaker 8: Well, you said you haven't.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: Looked at the video yet, but have you looked at
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: your phone to see.
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: How many mess texts you have? Yeah? I was just
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: telling them. It's just like it was like, oh gosh,
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: here we go.
• 9:43
  Speaker 9: No, no, I'm not gonna be able to get all
• 9:44
  Speaker 9: of them, but I felt them feel bad for some
• 9:46
  Speaker 9: guys because I'm.
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: Not gonna be able to scroll all the way down there.
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: I don't want to. We were wanted to text all night, so.
• 9:51
  Speaker 5: I can't said you were feel You did soccer high
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: school and it's so much harder now for a lot
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: of kids to go from the high school level because
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: they're really kickers. But what once is playing soccer a
• 10:05
  Speaker 5: big factor in the growth to go to the college
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: level and then maybe to the pros one day.
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think.
• 10:12
  Speaker 9: Even when I was younger playing soccer, I liked penalty
• 10:14
  Speaker 9: kicks a lot. I liked being like there in the
• 10:18
  Speaker 9: moment I had to make an opportunity, like I had
• 10:19
  Speaker 9: to make a play.
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: I feel like I liked those moments sometimes, and so
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: I think that.
• 10:23
  Speaker 9: Probably gave me some confidence going into high school and college.
• 10:26
  Speaker 9: But I've always had big faith, even when I was
• 10:29
  Speaker 9: you know, I can't even remember this back because I
• 10:32
  Speaker 9: was growing up going to church my whole life. So
• 10:34
  Speaker 9: as kind of like I started, you know, getting more
• 10:37
  Speaker 9: precious situations where I had, you know, sixty seventy thousand
• 10:39
  Speaker 9: people watching me. I knew that whether I made the
• 10:42
  Speaker 9: kick or missed the kick, like I knew God's will
• 10:44
  Speaker 9: was gonna you know, prevail. I knew that I was
• 10:46
  Speaker 9: gonna be okay, He's already been decided if I made
• 10:48
  Speaker 9: it or missed the kick.
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: And so when I go.
• 10:51
