1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:05,400
Speaker 1: I was your first game in the first game is Patriot. Um.

2
00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:08,920
Speaker 1: Obviously it wasn't the result that I wanted, but it

3
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:10,399
Speaker 1: was it was good to get out there and fly

4
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:13,800
Speaker 1: around a little bit. Um. Good to see the fans back, um,

5
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:15,239
Speaker 1: and you know, there was a lot of things to

6
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:18,759
Speaker 1: improve on, to learn from and you know, excited for

7
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:20,799
Speaker 1: the next week ahead just learning from those things and

8
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:23,400
Speaker 1: trying to apply this. What was the fan recession that

9
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:25,480
Speaker 1: you felt maybe pre game, end up during the game

10
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 1: year in the moment, but being pre game, yeah, pregame

11
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 1: it was sweet U. I mean even in the game, um,

12
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 1: you know, sitting over there listening to them get on

13
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 1: their feet for the defense, it was pretty pretty special.

14
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 1: So um, obviously we missed them last year and then

15
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:42,639
Speaker 1: you know, my first experience in Gillette kind of being

16
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 1: on the other side of things, So it was it

17
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 1: was really really cool to be able to see the

18
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:49,559
Speaker 1: fans and you know, see their excitement. I under what

19
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 1: was Bill's message. I guess that the coaching setment just

20
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 1: the last couple of days about cleaning things out. That

21
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 1: game was just uncharacteristic of normal pages with the palties

22
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 1: to turnovers, the bubbles. I guess plus the best last

23
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 1: couple of things. Obviously, what you just said is we've

24
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: got to clean up what we did. I mean, we can't.

25
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:07,759
Speaker 1: You can't win football games in the Nation Football League

26
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 1: playing like we did the other day. Um. You know,

27
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: we we played, We played a great game. Besides the

28
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 1: turnovers and sides of penalties. Um, you know that that's

29
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 1: gonna beat you every single week. So we got to

30
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:21,400
Speaker 1: clean those things up and really take pride in them. Um.

31
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 1: And that that starts with everybody. It's not just the

32
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 1: guys that are handling the ball every time. It's you know,

33
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 1: finishing blocks so that those guys won't get in on

34
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 1: the scrum. It's um, you know, just doing the extra

35
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: things so that guys don't have to worry about Maybe

36
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 1: some of those guys, but you gotta take pride in it. Um.

37
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 1: And you know, definitely some things we got to correct

38
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 1: and we can't do those things again any with. Let's

39
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: see the quarterback on the field, meaning like I felt

40
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 1: like we didn't find you felt the second half, but

41
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 1: in the first half they're playing for maybe you were open,

42
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: but it maybe we need to see um, you know it.

43
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: It's it's always funny when you know when people ask

44
00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 1: that kind of thing. Um, it's just kind of how

45
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 1: the game and go. Sometimes it's not always, Um, you know,

46
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: he missed this. I missed this. You know, we didn't

47
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: see me. It's just, you know, sometimes it's kind of

48
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 1: how the game goes and you gotta let it come

49
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 1: to you. You can't like press the issue. I'm never

50
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 1: gonna like, you know, tell like push the ball or

51
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 1: anything like that. You know, he he did a tremendous

52
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,799
Speaker 1: job out there. Um. You know, they threw some different

53
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,239
Speaker 1: things that we unseen, um early on in the game

54
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 1: that we had an adjust to, so um that kind

55
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: of came with it a little bit, and I felt

56
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: like we adjusted well. Mac handled it really well, and

57
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 1: I felt like as an offensive we handled it pretty

58
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: well for seeing different looks. At the same time, when

59
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 1: you looked at the I don't know if there was

60
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 1: as pass scatchers, there was a lot of people who

61
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 1: called the ball. So how important was that that the

62
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 1: ball was being spread around everyone? Oh yeah, it's uh.

63
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 1: I mean we're all every time we run arounte, every

64
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 1: time we're out in the you know, in a route.

65
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:50,959
Speaker 1: I think everybody's got to know that the balls, think

66
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 1: the balls coming to them. You know, there's only one

67
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 1: ball at the end of the day. But everybody runs

68
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,359
Speaker 1: a route to win and expects to get the ball.

69
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 1: And we have a ton of tremendous pass scatch guys

70
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 1: that can run, guys that do different things. Um, so

71
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 1: you know, everybody's a little bit different, and so it's

72
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 1: always you know, we're going to use everybody out there.

73
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 1: You just found out what you saw from mac d

74
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 1: in the game. You played with a betteran quarterback, You

75
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 1: played with a rookie and situation where the last route

76
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 1: starter and had a good year. What did you see

77
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 1: from Matt on Sunday in terms of how he handled

78
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,639
Speaker 1: a huddle, how he handled a line of scrimmage as

79
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:26,920
Speaker 1: the game went along, when more was put on his player,

80
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 1: he did a great job. You know, I was. I

81
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 1: was really proud of him and how he handled it.

82
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 1: M He had a lot of poise and obviously delivered

83
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 1: the ball really well, sat in there in the pocket

84
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 1: even when the pocket was coming down. I mean, he

85
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 1: made some big time throws that. Um, you know, sometimes

86
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: a lot of other guys aren't gonna make just standing

87
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: in the pocket and taking hits and different things. That's

88
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 1: like that. It shows a lot of pro like to

89
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: us as guys, like a guy that's gonna stand in

90
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: there no matter what and deliver the ball. It was

91
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 1: it was big to see. So he's only going to

92
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: get better and continue to get better. And the more

93
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 1: game reps and more practicecraps and all the reps that

94
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 1: we take. I don't know how much you've seen him

95
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 1: since then, but I mean, you guys know the drills better.

96
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 1: It's like Monday, Tuesday, watched it off. Move on. How

97
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 1: what's even like the last two days? Oh, it's been great. Um.

98
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: I think he's just, you know, on the same thing

99
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 1: as what we're all trying to do. It's trying to

100
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,280
Speaker 1: get better and trying to you know, we learn from

101
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,040
Speaker 1: what we just did in that last game and then

102
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 1: we got to move on. And I mean that's how

103
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:24,599
Speaker 1: it is every single week in this league. I mean,

104
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 1: you got to be ready because if you carry what

105
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: we just did this past game into this next game,

106
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 1: we're gonna you know, it's going to carry over. So

107
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 1: I think he's moving on well, and I mean he's

108
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 1: going to continue to learn kind of that process and

109
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 1: how each week goes from back on zero. It's just

110
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 1: he was screaming your name, I think before the snap,

111
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 1: and we can hear it on the broadcast. I was

112
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 1: just wondering he could tell us anything about what that

113
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 1: communication was. I mean, there were some checks in the

114
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 1: game that you know, came up. Obviously, they did some

115
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 1: different looks, some different things to different formations and different

116
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: things like that, and you know, it was just communication,

117
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 1: and you know he did a great job of recognizing

118
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: it and making a play on a big down. You

119
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 1: after not playing in the pre seasons, your first game

120
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: action in quite a while, did it you feel like

121
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 1: it took a little while for you to get your

122
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,040
Speaker 1: feet under yourself or where you do you feel good

123
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 1: to go recom the start. I felt pretty good right

124
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:22,479
Speaker 1: from the start. I mean obviously just the anxiousness maybe

125
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: not even generous, because I mean I've done it. I

126
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,720
Speaker 1: mean I've played, you know, a few downs in this league,

127
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 1: so I kind of know what's to come. But um,

128
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: definitely kind of getting going a little bit. That first hit,

129
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 1: you know, that first drive. Once once I kind of

130
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: got in the flow of the game. It was you know,

131
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 1: just like just like in the past, just playing some

132
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,600
Speaker 1: ball after you know, Max's first touchdown and he didn't

133
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: want to really take the ball. He said afterwards that

134
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 1: it's just going hopefully the first of many. Yesterday, Josh

135
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,280
Speaker 1: Duo was stort of talking about how selfless he is.

136
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:51,919
Speaker 1: What have you seen from Mac and sort of that

137
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 1: department of just sort of being a team first guy

138
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:57,279
Speaker 1: and selfless in nature. Yeah, he's he's done a tremendous job.

139
00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: I mean, being a young guy, being a rookie, um,

140
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,679
Speaker 1: you know, and you know, being the starter the first

141
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 1: game that he's live, game he's played, Um, he's handled

142
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 1: its tremendously. Um. I mean nothing but good words to

143
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:10,840
Speaker 1: say about him, good things to say, and the only

144
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 1: things that he's going to continue to get better. Um.

145
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 1: I mean he's super selfless, like standing in those pockets

146
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 1: like I said earlier and taking taking those shots and

147
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,359
Speaker 1: throwing the ball. That shows a lot to the lineman

148
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 1: us receivers. Um, I mean that's a big time and uh,

149
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 1: you know he's he's I mean going to continue to

150
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 1: have to do that. And you know we're not to

151
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:30,919
Speaker 1: protect him better, you know, we're not to do different

152
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,719
Speaker 1: things for him, but um, yeah, he's a selfless player

153
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 1: and you know, I'm excited to continue to work with him.

154
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:39,840
Speaker 1: You came in and you were like excited to see us.
