K Jason Sanders

(Was it nice to get acknowledged, recognized as AFC Special Teams Player of the Week for a job well done?) – “Yeah. You just try and do your job one week at a time whether it’s three kicks or one kick.”

(What was your level of comfort, confidence? Your numbers weren’t great from that distance heading into the game and you nail three of them right down the middle.) – “I try not to pay attention to the numbers. I’m going to keep my same confidence going into each kick. Each game, each Sunday, I’m going to go out there no matter if it’s a 45- or a 30-yard kick, I’m going to have the same mentality, same approach as any other kick it would be.”

(Do you have any idea why the numbers for kickers would be down around the league this year collectively?) – “Like field goal percentage?”

(Yeah.) – “No.”

(I don’t know what the number are exactly, but have you noticed it first of all?) – “I have not, no. Just thinking about it, you’ve got one job and your one job is to put it through the uprights. But nobody really takes into factor field conditions or…”

(That’s why I wondered if there’s something, the ball…?) – “Yeah, that could be one of the topics people talk about might be factors. Maybe wind? Different stadiums I know are more challenging than others.”

(You haven’t noticed anything that’s making things more challenging this year than last year?) – “No.”

(In terms of what you accomplished, do you recall a more satisfying game for you than the one on Sunday?) – “I think I’ve been looking for a game like this this season where it’s kind of maybe a breakthrough to get things rolling, start getting on a little streak maybe.”

(Were you feeling good in warmups?) – “Yeah. Every kick, I like to go out there thinking it’s the same thing, whether it’s a 50-yarder or a 20-yard kick.”

(Had you made any mechanical changes at all after the couple misses that you had earlier in the year?) – “No, because I’m coming off, I’d like to say, a good year, so I’m trying to keep everything simple, the same, and I know it’s worked and it helped me out last Sunday.”

(I always wonder with kickers, I know you don’t kick in a dome a lot, is there any extra confidence when you go in a dome?) – “Depends how you look at it. It could be. There’s no wind, obviously, so if you’re kicking left to right today based on how the ball is coming off your foot, it could be a little less draw on the ball because there’s no wind.”
