K Jason Sanders

(Preseason or not, how significant was it to start off the preseason the way you did with a big night and two 50-yarders?) – “It was good. I take every preseason (game) the same as practice. Getting those game reps is completely different than getting the practice reps though. I take it as a privilege to play all three games, so I get all of those field goal reps and all of the kickoff reps. I’ve got to get better and improve my game.”

(How much of a difference can a holder make?) – “I mean a pretty big difference. It depends on who it is. There are certain things that people have tendencies but any holder we’ve had, they’ve always done a great job for me. I’ve been incredibly thankful for the last five years, four seasons, I’ve had with a good holder.”

(On what he does in the offseason) – “Just work out. In some free time, you play some golf. That’s about it. I spent a lot of time in the pool, in the sun.”

(Have you pinpointed anything that you can go back to doing to get back to 2020?) – “Just doing the same things I’ve always been doing. Yeah, I missed a couple of kicks last year but if I keep showing up here and doing what I can to get better, everything is going to work out for itself and I’ll make a kick.”

(Have you seen a non-kicker try anything out here? Is there an DT Ndamukong Suh?) – “Are you talking like a field goal tryout?”

(Yeah, like an emergency. Like LB Porter Gustin or somebody.) – “I’ve seen Brandon Jones kick a few. I’ve also seen him kick a few bad ones. (laughter) I encourage it because it makes me look better. (laughter)”

(In even seasons, you have a great field goal percentage and in odd seasons, it’s in the 70s. Do you think about that at all?) – “No. I mean it sounds like I’m on the right season right now. (laughter) Like I’ve always said, I always show up to practice and it’s one practice, get better. That’s all it is.”

(Is there anything different for you this year?) – “Nope. Doing the same thing that I’ve done since my rookie year. Just learning a few things extra and every year, I feel like I’m getting better and better.”

(Have you picked anything up from P Thomas Morstead and just the experience he has in the league?) – “He’s very similar to me. He’s very analytical. We like talking kicking. Having an older guy like that, it takes me back to John Denney. John Denney was great here. I love having those guys around because they’re so smart and they know exactly what they want to do when they show up.”

(You like the way P Thomas Morstead holds a football?) – “I love it.”
