1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:02,000
Speaker 1: Mac. With about six and a half minutes to go

2
00:00:02,040 --> 00:00:04,280
Speaker 1: on the third quarter, the team had a total of

3
00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:07,880
Speaker 1: about seventy yards total offense. Obviously you finished with two

4
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:10,280
Speaker 1: eighty five, which means a lot of offense in the

5
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:14,680
Speaker 1: last twenty minutes or so of the game. What clicked?

6
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 1: Was it? Different play calling, personnel groupings, what clicked in

7
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:22,320
Speaker 1: your eyes? Yeah? I think obviously tough loss for us here,

8
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 1: definitely things I want to do better and just gotta

9
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 1: keep working, Gotta watch the film and keep working together.

10
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 1: I think we didn't quit. We fought hard and at

11
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:35,279
Speaker 1: the end of the day, we got to score more

12
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 1: points and we got we got the ball moving a

13
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 1: little bit, but I just want to capitalize and score

14
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:42,960
Speaker 1: more points. So falls on me as a quarterback and

15
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,519
Speaker 1: super disappointing, but also a lot to look back on

16
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,519
Speaker 1: and realize that we have fighters on this team. And

17
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 1: that's tough to say in a loss, but we do.

18
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 1: We have fighters on this team. I thought everybody on

19
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,959
Speaker 1: our offense and defense and special teams fought to the end,

20
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 1: and um, yeah, Mac, just your interpretation or what led

21
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 1: to your at the unsports melid a penalty on you

22
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 1: at the end. Yeah, I think um, obviously there's a

23
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:12,480
Speaker 1: little bit of a you know pile there, and then

24
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 1: the ball scored it out actually into another pile. So

25
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 1: I went over there and try to grab the ball

26
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: at a you know, save the game. So at the

27
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 1: end of the day, you gotta take your chance and

28
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 1: try and get the ball. And you got to compete

29
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 1: for the ball because it's a live ball until somebody

30
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 1: holds it up in the air, so you gotta go

31
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 1: get it. And that's what I try to do. And yeah,

32
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: and Mac, we saw the impact that Kendrick had when

33
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 1: he was a focal point of the offense. Why do

34
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 1: you think those opportunities where he's been getting the ball

35
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: consistently in big situations like that have come so few

36
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 1: and far between, especially when it comes to throwne downfield. Yeah,

37
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 1: I think KB is just a he's a great teammate

38
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 1: and he's one of my closest friends. Every time I've

39
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 1: seen him, he's had a smile on his face, even

40
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 1: in a situation like that, you know, at the end

41
00:01:58,080 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: of the game where we're trying to fight back and

42
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 1: there's a lot of pressure, he's in there kind of

43
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: smiling like let's go do this. You know. So when

44
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: you see that from a guy and you know I'm

45
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: saying the same stuff in the huddle, you know, I

46
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 1: want to look for a guy like that who wants

47
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: to compete and play and play with effort. So thought,

48
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 1: he's one of those guys. And we have all those guys.

49
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 1: The receivers did a great job. Obviously had some tight

50
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 1: end injuries, and I hope those guys are okay. And

51
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 1: the running backs competed and Scotty went in there obviously

52
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,800
Speaker 1: did a great job. That's a tough situation as a

53
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 1: guy who hasn't played all year jumps in there. So

54
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 1: I thought the old line did good and just super

55
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 1: disappointed and kind of watch it. You gotta watch the

56
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 1: tape and grade yourself as an individual and then grade

57
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 1: yourself as an offense and as a team. So we're

58
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 1: gonna do that. I think we just kind of move

59
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: on from it. Mac. When you you've had a lot

60
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 1: of crazy finishes this year as a team, When you

61
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: look at this one, three time outs in the red zone,

62
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: chance to score, obviously it's frustrating, but when you look

63
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 1: back on it, it must be hard to believe you

64
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 1: guys didn't punch it in there, right. Yeah. I think

65
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 1: first of all, no one probably believed that we would

66
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 1: come back from twenty two points, but we fought and

67
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: we're right there right you score, and it's a totally

68
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 1: different game. So it's a tough situation. Just gotta execute better,

69
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,639
Speaker 1: falls on me and do things better. Um. Then when

70
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 1: we get the ball back, just at that point, you

71
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,639
Speaker 1: gotta have better execution, you know, got to know where

72
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: to go, got to know where to throw it in

73
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,639
Speaker 1: that situation, there's not a lot of time. So just

74
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:28,920
Speaker 1: the same same thing. Just got to learn from it

75
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 1: and be better at situational stuff. And starts with me,

76
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 1: Hi mac Um, how do you feel Marcus Jones has

77
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: been a spark for you guys on all sides of

78
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 1: the ball. I mean, yeah, he's just ridiculous. Um, great player,

79
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 1: great teammate, explosive, lines up, runs full speed on offense,

80
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: lines up goes full speed on defense, same thing on

81
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: special teams. So um, love the guy. You know, Bummed

82
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: when you have a great performance like that, we can't

83
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 1: pull out the win. So he's a great, great person,

84
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: great player, and got a lot of good dudes like

85
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 1: that on our team. So it's tough when you lose,

86
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: but falls on me as a quarterback and got to

87
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 1: do things better. So I know you're running and rolling

88
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 1: out there. Did you actually see the tip on the

89
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: Jacoby wires touchdown? Yeah, it's just a great play, so

90
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 1: it was. It was good to see. That's an example

91
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 1: of competing, right, Scottie jumps up there, tries to make

92
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 1: a play, then Jacobe's right there waiting for it. So

93
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,600
Speaker 1: and the offensive line on that play when you watch it,

94
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 1: did a great job of just competing. Right, I roll

95
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 1: this way, I rolled that way. They're throwing blocks left

96
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 1: and right. So love that for those guys. And at

97
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:42,599
Speaker 1: the end of the day, just came up short and

98
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 1: other situations and got to get off to a faster

99
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 1: start and and maybe the game's a little bit different.

100
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 1: So definitely disappointing. You know, hey, macul looked like you

101
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 1: guys are rolling with a lot of tall personnel. Initially,

102
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 1: Hunter obviously goes down. Did his injury almost kind of

103
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:00,160
Speaker 1: put you in a pickle there, knowing that I have

104
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 1: been a big part of the game plane, Yeah, I

105
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 1: think Hunter is one of our best players. Same with

106
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,679
Speaker 1: John U and um when they're on the field together.

107
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:11,040
Speaker 1: It puts matchup issues on the defense, and um, once again,

108
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:15,239
Speaker 1: Scottie steps in there, hasn't played all year, probably didn't

109
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,839
Speaker 1: expect to be in that situation, but he planed for

110
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 1: it and did the best he could. So, UM, just

111
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:22,799
Speaker 1: proud of those guys. It shows you that that group

112
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 1: is really well coached and and all of our guys

113
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,719
Speaker 1: are So we just gotta do better and execute the

114
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: plays better and all that stuff. Back on the on

115
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 1: the forty eight yard touchdown pass, just how much pride

116
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,159
Speaker 1: do you put, you know, in yourself to be able

117
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: to make a throw like that in cold conditions. I

118
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,160
Speaker 1: mean it's like third and twenty nine R eight or whatever.

119
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 1: So at that point, you know, I did a lot

120
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 1: of things to put us in that situation, which isn't good.

121
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 1: And I gotta watched the tape to see what I

122
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 1: could do better, um to not be in that situation.

123
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:56,719
Speaker 1: But at some point you just gotta let it rip.

124
00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: And um, he just made a good play. So hey, Mac,

125
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 1: after the game, we saw you have a big wrap

126
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,359
Speaker 1: around your your shoulder, maybe like an ice pack. Is

127
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 1: that something that happened today? And how are you just

128
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 1: feeling health wise overall? Yeah, I always do that. It's precautionary,

129
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,719
Speaker 1: so try and keep everything and stick to my routine.

130
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 1: So um, like everybody else, just get your treatment and

131
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: carry on. So I gotta put this one in the bed.

132
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:26,280
Speaker 1: And this wasn't our day. Super disappointed, but I feel like,

133
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 1: you know, there's a lot of things we can build

134
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 1: off of Mac Jacoby. Jacoby Myers was asked about you

135
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: and there were some chance for Zappy early in the game,

136
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,479
Speaker 1: and he said, I'll roll with Mac anytime he's tough,

137
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,160
Speaker 1: he gets up, he's mentally tough. I guess what does

138
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 1: it mean to have the support of some of those

139
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 1: guys were Kendrick in the locker room as well, talking

140
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 1: about you and your toughness. Yeah, I think we got

141
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:48,599
Speaker 1: a lot of tough players on this team, and I

142
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:50,720
Speaker 1: look up to a lot of guys like Jacoby and

143
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 1: KB and Slater and Devin and everybody. So I've been

144
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 1: able to watch my first two years here, and the

145
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:00,719
Speaker 1: best players on our team are the tough as players,

146
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,159
Speaker 1: and there's times, you know when I need to be

147
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: more tough and standing there and rip it and and

148
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,600
Speaker 1: all that stuff. So we're all out there competing, and

149
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 1: that's what it's all about is just not quitting and

150
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 1: keep competing. And we'll do that as an offense, we'll

151
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 1: do that as a defense, we'll do that as special team.

152
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 1: So I think the guys themselves that we're all going

153
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: to compete, so that'll never change, all right, Thanks,
