In context
KapadiaIt is, I don't know if it's unfair or not. It doesn't feel unfair that when you're paying a kicker a lot of money and they got two jobs here. One job is the field goals and extra points. And the other job is the kickoff that if we expect Jalen Hurts and Cooper DeGene and whoever else that in a critical moment, when the game's on the line, do your job at a high level.
KapadiaI don't think it's unfair to expect the kicker to be able to do their job at a high level. And you're absolutely right. That was a bad kick. that was it wasn't worst case scenario you know worst case scenario would be you kick it out of bounds out of bounds or you like you kick it even shorter but you're right for like the outcomes that were um not worst case scenario it was pretty bad that it was a bad
Kapadiakick you let them get a running start the positioning of the kick it made it it made it set up for a better return and then at the same time you got to have better coverage on your return unit i mean that everything's on the line in that moment you know what you need to do and it's like they didn't even touch him i mean I mean, I forget who it was who made like one diving tackle attempt while
Kapadiathey were still in their own territory. And then he was gone. And Jake Elliott had a chance to slow him down and did not come close. I think we can say from those two kickoff returns that Jake Elliott's not going to be slowing these guys down. There's no David
HofmannAkers, man.
KapadiaYeah, yeah, right. And it's like good hustle by Jonathan Jones where, I mean, it's wild.
KapadiaYou're right. If he would have swung him around, like one more 360 there. Keep him up. Yeah. We're saying Jonathan Jones, man, saved the season. Honestly, it's like, what hustle? He brought him down.
