00:00Just saw this tweet from Kaitlyn Koehler who does an incredible job of covering the NFL. She was at the game today

00:06She she tweeted out just talked to several players on the Packers field goal block unit and all of them said they noticed that Cairo

00:13Santos kicked with a low trajectory and when doing film study and they expected the Bears to run another play which in their opinion

00:20Would have made it more difficult to block Patrick when you hear that. What do you what? What do you think about it?

00:26Yeah, it all makes sense

00:27But let me let me tell you this if you get two more yards that play it's still getting blocked that that's the thing

00:32So, okay, if you get ten, maybe not

00:33maybe you can get a little more height on him because he has to drive it when he when he's farther back, but I

00:39Still just you have to do your job up front as well

00:41So listen, if you know, your kicker is a low ball kicker like a more of a driving kicker

00:46You as a coach have to tell your guys up front when we back up

00:49We got a 46 to 52 yard field goal

00:52You have to be more stout up front and then especially in this situation where they're coming harder

00:57It just feels a whole lot different than there. It's like a whole different level

01:00It's like when you get to playoff football compared to like just regular season football where everything's faster

01:05Everybody hits hard or whatever on a game-winning kick. It's a different level intensity

01:08You've got to match that and you've got to also understand your kicker will drive the ball a little bit

01:12So you can argue it either way. It's a 46 yard field goal. You should make that

01:16Can you explain when you're not locked during the break where you're saying that on a play like that

01:22Instead of like just kind of being the wall that maybe you fire off the ball a little bit

01:27It's like you've got a flinch forward a little bit if that makes sense

01:30You can't fire off because they can swim you and pull you to the ground

01:33It's just you have to have that little more intensity and in that block

01:37You're yours. I call it a spike step your little spike step has to be a little stronger in the ground

01:41You just have to stay stronger and understand that the force from them is coming a little harder and it is it is like

01:46You just kind of lean a little bit more forward than you usually do because you know, they're just trying to run you over

01:51That's what they're gonna do unless you've scouted a look where you know

01:54They're a swim team and this one you saw them the whole game

01:56Like I told all when I go watch the left side

01:58They were just running them over every time and that's just that's that this it's little details going back to details in the special

02:04Team details that needed to be coached and need to be executed as well. I can't say that it wasn't coached

02:08They just didn't execute it
