Kicker Recalibration Day | Improving Accuracy & Consistency

So, let's try that. Let's mark that with some tape. >> Welcome to my life. Yeah. On the bright side. Yeah. This music here became my only lifeline. Think I'm going crazy. I'm out in my right mind. On the bright side. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. One got that brand new way. Hometown asking in my wrist. Yeah. Repetition from my chest. That's a bench press. Seeing more behind the frame. Future bright. Feel the shake. Thinking ain't nobody feel the way I do. But someone got to feel the same. Yeah. On the bright side. Yeah. This music here became my only lifine. Think I'm going crazy. I'm not in my right mind. Yeah. Welcome to my life. Welcome to my life. Yeah. Welcome to my life. Welcome to my life. Yeah. Welcome to my life. Welcome to my BR's on a by week this week. So, we have a few days where there's no practice. So, Colin decided, hey, I want to go out and just kind of recalibrate. Maybe just recheck my step, my motion, my swing. So, we're just kind of going over some basic stuff. Just kind of recalibrate again. Over the season, maybe a few things have kind of gotten off a little bit on his steps, on his timing. So, we're going to come back out. We have our tape measure day. We're just going to kind of reme-measure, see where he is on his steps. Get a little work in. All right, Colin just walked off his normal. Now, let's measure and see where he's at. All right, hold the T. >> You're right at 115 to the corner. Where' you think you were at? >> I don't know, but I know 115's far. >> I'll have to go back and look what our original stuff was. Remeasure. He's doing his steps just naturally. Whatever he feels comfortable with. So, you're a tad bit in front of it that time. Maybe a half an inch. You're pretty much right there at that 115. All we're going to try 104. Push him a little bit closer. >> Oh, that's too close. >> He seems to pretty much go back to that 115 mark. Just naturally stepping. We're just trying to get more consistent. All right. Still kicking from the 115. That took a weird twist in the wind. All right. All right. So, we noticed Colin was going at a little bit of an angle, not exactly perpendicular, which I mean, I don't know if that matters a whole lot, but when he goes straight out, obviously he's going to be a little bit further back versus coming in. So, this puts him more at 122. So, let's try that. Let's mark that with some tape and see what that's like. Look good. >> Feel like you had to reach for it. All right, so back at 115 again. Just trying to get consistent, accurate. Yeah, it looks good. I mean, all of them have been straight yet and pulled one. All right, we backed him up to 50 yard from the hash. We're going to see if he can replicate his steps backwards again. We're trying to just get consistent. All right, let's see where you are. I'm going to guess that may be a little further back >> cuz you actually went straight to the side. You're 119 and a half >> cuz that time you actually went straight out to the side whereas a lot of times you come in a little bit. >> I guess from this it's a little different. >> Well, I guess. Yeah, because you have to go over different too, right? Let's see what that is. >> Supposed to, but I guess >> Well, your angle >> I'm starting off at an angle. It just makes me think different. >> Yeah, this is 116. So, you're off an inch. Okay. >> All right. Let's see what you got. Let's see what you got. Now, don't change your swing. 50 from the hash. hit the post. >> I was like, it's going to curve in. It's going to curve in. >> Oh, the wind's a little >> And then it just stayed. It stayed on it. >> It's a little Let's measure again. Let's see where you at. Well, that looked good. That was a That was a good stroke ball. All right, let's see where you at. What do you feel like you're at? >> Just right. >> You're 18 and a half. Guess it's not right. Well, I was going to say, you want to just go ahead and try it from there? You do look like you're going out at a 90° angle though. Now >> maybe that's why I'm missing from >> 114. So that's a difference of 4 in just how you're stepping which that's obviously going to affect your plant. You want to do that one? All right. Let's see what we got. money down the down the middle though. >> Shoot. Doesn't matter. You hitting 50 yarders. There's plenty for now. >> I tried to come more in on >> I'm going to say, yeah, you're I'm going to say you're definitely under the 115 on this one. Oh, I'm wrong. You're 119. >> What? >> You looked closer. Well, try it from 119 if that's what you're kicking at. But that is weird. Like you're kicking dead on from 115 and when you go from the hash, I wonder what you do from the other hash. I bet you go shorter from the other hash. I bet you're right. We'll have to try it and see. I shouldn't have said that. I should have kept that thought to myself. And see what happens. You're 118. So you came in an inch cuz weren't you 119? >> You said you want me to try from right here. >> Well, I mean if that's your natural step, let's see what see what it does. All right. This time he was at the 118. >> You got under that one, didn't you? >> I think you had to reach for it, which again means you're probably further back. We'll have to check our side video. It's 117 and a half. >> That was good. And honestly, I think your plant foot was even a little maybe further in front of the ball or the tea than normal. But yeah, that one looked that was one of your best ones. I think I felt like your foot was up up in here. Yeah, >> we'll have to watch the video. But yeah, that looked good. And that what did we say that one was 117 and a half? >> That's 113. 113. >> Did you Did you scoot yourself up after you marked off or is that where you marked off? No, I just scooted back from when I was I was right here 113. I just scooted back a little bit >> just then. Yeah, >> boy. Why do you tell me we need to kick 113? >> Well, let's just redo my steps. >> I was about to say we need to measure cuz we need to know where you are. Like if it's good, we want to know. Okay, that was perfect. That was 115. 112. You want to try that? >> No. I mean, 115, 114. It's working pretty good. So, >> why would I not stick with it? >> I think it all has to do with where you're stepping sideways cuz those steps back are consistent. It's going to be That's 114. Uh, we just spent a little bit of time just making sure we're walking exactly straight back. Exactly straight over cuz kept getting off a little bit. So now I think he's walking exactly straight back into the side and hitting that 115 distance consistently. He's going to measure off from the other hash and let's see how consistent he is. >> Looks a little closer. >> It does look a little closer. >> Ashley go. No way. >> What? >> Like you're way out there. >> What? >> It's 126. >> 126. >> Like you look like you're way over there. You're not measuring it properly. >> Quite a tape measure. Don't lie. You still look like you're way over there here. That's better. 116. Good gosh. That's 10 in. That was 10 in difference. Yeah. I think your kick's going to be a little different. 10 in. All right. We're back to the 116 was where you walked back that time again. 50 yard from the left hash this time. Now the money. You know what? I can I really can tell a difference in the slope. I mean, you really are going >> I know >> the the hill is really going uphill. >> Ankle over there every time I kick. >> So yeah, you are kind of going downhill over there on this mound. So we know I guess you like going uphill more. >> Well, you were looking down at the tape. I think that's affecting your step. What? >> Do it blind. Do it blind. >> Well, then there's no point of using my hand. >> No, I meant like close your eyes once you once you start stepping. Like once you Yeah, that's perfect. >> There's no point of this. >> Okay. Well, just don't want to cheat. Yep. All right. There you are. Oh no. Over the top. Line it up. Line it up. Right there at the tape from 70. It's good. You killed that one. Measuring the kickoff, which is kickoffs have been great. Few times he gets under it a little bit. Leaves it a little bit high. Hang timing. Lands around the one or two. Oh, that's the name of my tape measure, man. >> I need the longer one. This is 25 foot. Well, I guess we're not measuring that. I guess we'll just look at yardage to this line. >> You are 11 ft to the very front of the line. >> 11 ft. >> Yeah. >> So, measure from the very back of the line. >> Well, you could just keep it to the front of the line and we should be fine. Yeah, I did the very front. Yeah, that way. And then you're another 16 ft and then 3 in. So yeah, 27 and 3 in. >> Oh toe. That's what happened. >> That was really high. All right. So he walked back consistent there. Same spot which is nine yards back and over a couple yards. probably what this Yeah, we busting them cleats up. That's not good. All right. Well, three for three walking back in the same spot. We've got to get that consistent on our field goals now. >> Well, we could tell that they weren't real clean kickoffs. He was getting under it a little bit. And after I went back and watched the video, yeah, all three is kicking the dirt before he gets the ball and his plant foot's kind of getting back here. So, we're scooting him up a little bit. Going to see if he can get that plant foot a little further up, which should allow him to strike the ball better. >> All right, so we scooted up about 3 in, which that would put him right at that 27 ft. That time his plant foot looked a little better, but he just kind of miskicked it with part of his foot. That looked good. >> I hit it cleaner, but >> finished up that little kicking session. Very productive. Kind of getting out there again, recalibrating a little bit. You know, things kind of get off get a little out of line, get a little off timing. So we kind of went out there and again measured and as you saw kind of just figuring out what's the best measurements, what's the best steps as he kind of grows and gets a little taller and stronger and bigger. You know, all those kind of get adjusted a little bit. So very beneficial. I think it was good, huh? Felt good kicking. >> Yeah, >> the kickoffs were still a little bit, you know, not perfect, but getting a little tired and so, you know, we'll go rest up and enjoy the rest of this by week for him to kind of heal up and continue to rest up and let's finish off the season strong. So we'll catch you in the next video. Subscribe my man Mer Squad. Let's go. >> Let's go. Let's go. >> Shout out to the boys. >> Welcome to my life.
