00:00I think it was the penetration with the trajectory of the ball, had the ball started four inches

00:10to the right, both those guys' hands I think still goes in to the uprights and we're sitting

00:17here with two innings.

00:18So I think it's just kind of sometimes we get by, but we respond in a positive way to

00:26each other.

00:27We always make an adjustment.

00:28The kick doesn't go far away and we feel confident in how we hit the ball and the amount of kicks

00:35we make here in Chicago.

00:36There's new adjustments that we're going to have to make because they've gotten us two

00:42kicks in two games, so we'll continue to work on that.

00:46That was awesome.

00:47We worked so much throughout the week, throughout the whole season and that was a kick that

00:53gave us a lot of good results at practice and just how the ball spins and the chance

00:57that it gives to the guys to not only get 10 yards before the ball kind of spins and

01:04wraps itself past the 10-yard line, but also creates that scrum in the middle and it'll

01:11hit one of their guys, so that's kind of the flaw behind that, that spinner and the snaggletooth.

01:19I hate it that our unit hasn't been living up to the level that we have been the last

01:24three years here, the level of success that we've had, but I'm confident that we'll bounce

01:29back and sometimes there's ebbs and flows throughout the season and just get caught

01:33in the stretch of games or plays, but we'll go on and make three kicks in a row.
