coaches coverage frustrated help kick matters might night spent stop sunday time
I'm not going to stop being aggressive, ... I was very frustrated with our kick coverage Sunday night. That was a big play. I spent time with the coaches to see how we can be better and part of it is being down there to help out. If I'm back there on the 50, I don't see how that's going to help us get better. It might make matters worse.
extra figure gives kick prepare time visualize
I like it, because it gives you a little extra time to focus, to visualize and figure out the things you want to do and prepare to kick the ball.
bad ball gave lead start
That was a bad kick. I gave him the ball on the run, and he got through there with a lead blocker. That's a bad way to start a half.
kick tackle
I told him he should come down here, put on some pads, let me kick off to him and let me try to tackle him,
accept kids man mistake sit sorry
This is what being a man is all about. Being able to accept when you don't come through. When I make a mistake with my kids at home, I sit them down and say I am sorry I made a mistake and I am going to be a better dad. And you do the same thing with your job.

biggest dreaded focus time worry
For a young kicker, time can be a dreaded commodity. They don't want that time to think and worry about the implications. The biggest thing is just to focus on the present.
figured music needed playing tried visualize
The music was eerie, so I figured they were playing something like that. I tried to visualize what I needed to do.
kick paid third
The first kick and the third kick, you have just got to make those kicks. That's what I get paid to do.
And I'm not like that. I'm a very cut-and-dried, no-excuses, get-the-job-done kind of guy.
affects definitely expecting field goals hit prepared until wait
You definitely have to wait until you get out there and see how it is, but I'm not expecting anything great. It affects how you hit field goals and kickoffs. You can't use it as an excuse; you just have to be prepared for anything.
