00:00 Coach, I wanted to just ask about some of the miscues
00:02 on special teams, some of the maybe self-inflicted wounds.
00:06 Are there common threads that you see with some
00:09 of the mistakes, perhaps with fair catches inside the 10
00:12 yard line, false starts on punts, things to that nature?
00:15 Well, I thought overall early on the whole punting operation,
00:21 other than the delay game, but there was a funky look there.
00:24 And we always tell them, hey, if you're not sure,
00:28 don't snap the ball.
00:29 And we ended up getting that one off.
00:30 So that one there was OK.
00:36 But I felt like we were punting with good hang time,
00:39 and we were covering, and we were flipping the field
00:42 at times pretty well.
00:42 So I thought that was well done.
00:45 But you're right.
00:46 I mean, we shouldn't catch the ball on the 4 yard line.
00:48 Our heels should be in the 8.
00:49 I think he felt like in that moment
00:51 they were kind of right behind him,
00:53 and they were going to pin it inside the 4.
00:55 But still, you have to stick to your rules in that situation.
00:59 And then we missed the field goal.
01:01 And that one was big at the time.
01:02 It was a little momentum swing, and they get the ball back
01:05 on the 30 yard line.
01:06 So there was some good things there, but not good enough.
