Graham Gano

What I would personally do, there are three kickers available right now.

I would either bring in Graham Gano, Brandon McManus, or Matt Prater on the practice squad, and have that guy as a competition.

Evaluate every week, and if somebody stands out to you, go with that guy.

Yeah.

Uh, do well at my workout and get signed.

I was at the s- same time Graham Gano was, uh, battling through a knee injury and ended up having to sit out that whole year on IR, so I ended up winning a job from that workout.

But it's like, that's, that's my intro into the NFL, like the chaos of all that, and that's not even the craziest story that I've heard, you know? And so those are just the things that, um, the hope that I had to get an opportunity was like just so distant, but the work that I was putting in during that whole timeframe was knowing that if I'm just diligent in what I do and continue to, to get better at my craft, that when an opportunity presents itself in whatever facet comes, I'll be ready for it.

I gotta perform, and then that performance can change my life.

He got MVP from his performance where every punt was inside the five or 10.

The only other kicker or punter to win a bowl game MVP? Graham Gano in the 2008 Champs Sports Bowl.

Let's go.

Uh, New Jersey, New York adds, "The fact that I know this concerns me, too, I promise."

I once, uh-

Did you know the Anderson .Paak song was based on the Israeli national anthem? Curious if that's come up on the show yet.

I once had a few beers in me, uh, uh, at Florida State University and, uh, shagged some punts from Gra- Graham Gano.

Did you?

... for so long, right? Games are about to start.

"Oh, by the way, Graham Gano, he can't kick today, so you either have the punter, you gotta go for two every time, or, uh, uh, uh..." How many...

Have you ever seen-

Yeah, no

But, you know, it had become too big of a talking point, I mean, you guys know this better than anything, where over the last...

The, the health of Graham Gano, and I understand when he was right, he was a really good kicker in the National Football League, not just for the Giants.

But it became too big of a talking point here over the last couple years, and that's the thing that you want to...

You need all three phases, offense, defense, and special teams.

A- and other kickers have also weighed in when people were pearl clutching saying this was cheating.

Uh, Graham Gano said that teams would zoom in on his face.

There would be other teams that did things that were all...

This was gamesmanship across the NFL.

Yeah.

Graham Gano's out there.

Matt Prater.

How old is Matt by the way? Is he in his forties?
