00:00 I guess you just gotta go and make kicks and try to win the job.
00:03 I'm assuming that's your mindset.
00:05 >> Yeah, just go out there and make some kicks.
00:07 Not much to it, just go out there and do my job.
00:10 >> What do you remember from your stay here a couple years ago?
00:12 >> [LAUGH] I knew Morgan just from that one stint, but that's not really about it.
00:19 I mean, a lot of the same coaches too, so
00:21 still just gotta go back around the building and feel it.
00:26 >> How much different- >> I think you met maybe first time out,
00:28 and you're- >> All right, I mean, still,
00:32 it's just practice, figuring some stuff out, and
00:35 then just get ready to play against the real and make some kicks.
00:38 >> How much maybe misses today connected to getting the rhythm down with the,
00:43 you know the snapper, but getting with the holder and everything?
00:46 >> Nah, no excuses, just gotta make the kicks, but
00:49 I'm not really gonna sweat it over practice.
00:52 >> [INAUDIBLE] >> You know,
00:57 it's part of the job, so you get a call, come into Tennessee, do a physical, and
01:03 here we are practicing.
01:04 So yeah, I mean, it's been a crazy summer, but it's not really gonna get to be all right.
01:11 >> How much different of a kicker are you since last time you were here?
01:15 >> I'm older, I guess, is the only way to put it.
01:18 That was back in 2021, so stats, I guess, are out there for whatever, yeah.
01:25 >> You've probably already been asked this, so I apologize for that.
01:27 >> All anybody in this league wants is an opportunity.
01:30 >> Sure. >> And here you go.
01:31 >> Yeah, just make the most of it.
01:33 Part of the gig, start there, make some kicks.
01:36 >> What was all the logistics for you in regards to them getting the call and
01:39 getting here from all that?
01:40 How was all that?
01:42 >> I got a call after I got released from Washington and
01:45 then got in last night and here we are.
01:49 >> What did you kind of know, anything about this organization or
01:52 anybody here that you were familiar with?
01:54 >> Yeah, so I mean, I was here for a game in 2021, opened up the season.
01:58 So there's just, I guess, maybe a few guys, but I mean,
02:02 I literally just got into the locker room this morning and we were out of practice.
02:06 >> Does it change anything that you're the only guy?
02:08 >> I gotta do my job.
02:12 It doesn't really matter who's where or what, just go out there and keep it simple.
02:17 >> How quickly did this happen?
02:19 Sorry, I just got here.
02:20 >> Yeah, no, I got the call after I got released from Washington.
02:26 I think it was on Thursday night, no, Friday night.
02:30 And then, not Friday night, whatever yesterday was.
02:34 Yeah.
02:34 >> Monday? >> Yeah, something like that.
02:36 >> That time of year.
02:37 >> Yeah.
02:37 >> How wild is that?
02:38 Just not this time of year, stuff like this happens and
02:41 how do you have to be prepared for everything?
02:43 >> Just always stay ready.
02:46 Just be confident in your abilities and know what you can do and
02:49 go out there and show up.
02:51 >> When they come in here and bring you here to do that, is every kick,
02:54 how much pressure is on every single kick to perform?
02:56 >> Not a lot of pressure, I mean, it's still practice.
02:59 You wanna do well and perform, but you wanna just prepare yourself and
03:04 get ready for game day.
03:05 I just got here this morning.
03:06 >> Go Joe.
03:07 >> But feel good.
03:08 >> Michael.
