\nGreat to see you guys, good week of practice, had a good camp, been really appreciative to how attentive these young men have been. I think the head coach has done a very good job with how we\u2019ve gone about having the meetings, being as distanced as we can. Practices have been real good, now it\u2019s time to play for real, so it\u2019s going to be fun, and going to be a good season, we\u2019ll see. It\u2019s always going to be, each year\u2019s a different year but this is even going to be more different as we saw some of the stuff from last night on how the game was, but anxious to get started.<\/p>\n
\nI\u2019ve admired his play for a long time you know, and I love those guys that have had to prove themselves, the guys that nobody else counted on. And so I\u2019ve watched him from afar for quite a while and then used some of the plays that he has been in on other places before, I\u2019ve used them on some examples of some good teach tape on guys that I had at the time. But until you have a chance to experience them day in, day out on the field under stress, talking in and out that way, he\u2019s a smart guy and so that part of it makes me feel even better. There\u2019s a reason why he can maximize his ability because he\u2019s a smart young man, and again he\u2019s another guy that\u2019s got the respect of the team here in a short amount of time.<\/p>\n
\nWe anticipate them going out and playing well, that\u2019s the expectation. I think that\u2019s their expectation that they\u2019re working hard right now, learning a game plan, getting used to going against our first opponent with no preseason games. So, it\u2019s been an exciting week, but we expect to be able to go out and execute.<\/p>\n
\nThat\u2019s a great question. He\u2019s a guy that can control the middle of the field. He\u2019s a guy that the quarterback has a lot of faith in. The year before we got here, he and Sam had a lot of good chemistry together and someone Sam believes in, he\u2019s a game plan player. We missed him last year, even though we had some guys fill in and do a nice job, but Chris is definitely a different player and we\u2019re excited to have him.<\/p>\n
\nIt\u2019s going to be a challenge. This is a good unit and they do a really good job running three- and four-man games, which tests the chemistry of your offensive line. We\u2019ve we need to be able to pass those things, but we also see it in practice from our defense. And everyone has the same number of practices, same number of reps, so we\u2019ve got to go out and execute and do it. We\u2019ve been practicing it, we give them all the looks that they\u2019re going to see in the games, and we have to go do it.<\/p>\n
\nI don\u2019t know if Coach Gase will let me reveal that secret right now, that is definitely a question for him. That is something I am definitely going to get some throws in just in case I need it. (joking) I had too many critics last year, you guys were hard on me I heard.<\/p>\n
\nWell, I think that Sam has had a great camp. He\u2019s been really consistent. He\u2019s hit a consistent ball this entire camp. I believe he was like 90 percent on all recorded kicks and all through team drills. He had an over 90% percent on over 50-yard kicks. I like the way he\u2019s wired and everything like that, and I think as an organization we sat down and figured that he was our best guy and I think that that he learned a lot from last year. I have all the confidence in the world that he\u2019ll come out and do a great job.<\/p>\n
\nI think it messes with your swing a little bit. I\u2019m not saying that he\u2019s not going to do that. He may do that at some point. We have had him do that in practice. So, it\u2019s just a matter of who we want to tee up for the day and everything like that to be honest with you. He does have a strong leg and can do it though.<\/p>\n
\nHe\u2019s done a great job. He\u2019s a really taken a leadership role this offseason. I think he did a great job for us last year. He runs the punt team, and kind of the quarterback of that unit and that\u2019s a unit that we work all the time. I think he\u2019s done a really good job in all the phases, and the phases that he wasn\u2019t so good in last year I had a talk with him, and he was working heavily on them. Not to say he was bad in any phase, but he was doing really good in a lot of phases and could have done better in one, and I think we can get that fixed and he\u2019s come along and really excelled I think since he\u2019s been here, really got comfortable with the system, really got comfortable the guys and I think he\u2019s doing a nice job.<\/p>\n
