1
00:00:01,960 --> 00:00:05,200
Speaker 1: Hey back. First of all, hope everything's failing all right

2
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:10,200
Speaker 1: after yesterday. A question on the high ankle sprain, the

3
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:12,920
Speaker 1: tight rope surgery that has been done on high ekle

4
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:16,080
Speaker 1: sprains lately. It was big when you were at Alabama.

5
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:17,800
Speaker 1: I know you had mentioned it a couple of years ago.

6
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:19,880
Speaker 1: There was a quote from you today just on the

7
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 1: efficacy of it. I was wondering if that was something

8
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:25,759
Speaker 1: that's come up in your recovery process and kind of

9
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 1: your thoughts on that potentially being an avenue here. Yeah.

10
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 1: I'm just kind of taking it day to day and

11
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:37,519
Speaker 1: making sure everything's good, and honestly, any injury questions or

12
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:40,519
Speaker 1: Coach Belichick's thing, so I'm not here to answer them.

13
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:44,479
Speaker 1: I appreciate everyone kind of reaching out and looking after me,

14
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 1: but it's kind of just a day to day thing

15
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 1: and just trying to get better. Thanks. My next question

16
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 1: Mark Daniels Fallow by Chris Ryan Mack. How are you

17
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 1: feeling today and you know, at what point will you

18
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 1: learn you know when you can get back on the

19
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 1: football field. Um, yeah, I feel feel good. Obviously wish

20
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,400
Speaker 1: we played better and obviously I can play better. So

21
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 1: we just got to watch the film like we did

22
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,119
Speaker 1: and come up with ways to do things better. So

23
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: that's pretty much it. And like I said, I'm just

24
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: gonna take it day by day and get back treatment

25
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 1: and and do what I do, so, um, just see

26
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:29,759
Speaker 1: how it goes from there. Next question, Chris Ryan falled

27
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 1: by Mike Greece. Hey, Mac, just kind of along those lines.

28
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:37,040
Speaker 1: Is there an intent to be ready to play this

29
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: week because that your your goal at this point? Hey,

30
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:43,679
Speaker 1: I think, uh, like I said, just taking it day

31
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: by day and see how I feel and do my

32
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 1: treatment and kind of just go through that and um,

33
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 1: like I always do, just focus on today and then

34
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: when tomorrow comes, focus on tomorrow. But I'm definitely any updates,

35
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: like I said, you can talk to coach about and

36
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 1: just on the game for a second. A lot of

37
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: the guys were frustrated with a number of the plays

38
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,839
Speaker 1: they left out there, you know on the field. What

39
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 1: was your process in watching the game and how did

40
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 1: how did you see how things developed both in the

41
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 1: game and in watching that film. Yeah, I thought there

42
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 1: were a bunch of really good plays and some not

43
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 1: so good plays. So I'm just trying to figure out,

44
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 1: you know, how we can play better and do better

45
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: as players. So definitely on the same page there. I

46
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 1: think we did a lot of good things, but obviously

47
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: didn't win, so it doesn't doesn't count. So we want

48
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: to win and do things better. Thanks. My next question

49
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: Mike rees All by trade. Dear Mac, how confident are

50
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 1: you just that you'll play again this season? Um? Yeah,

51
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: like I said, you're seeing to take it day by

52
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 1: day and kind of get my treatment and do what

53
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: I do. So, UM, just see how I feel, and

54
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 1: if you have any more like those type questions, just

55
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,079
Speaker 1: talk to coach Belichick. I think you know he likes

56
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 1: to answer those questions, so you can ask him. And

57
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: one in the game, Mac, just um, can you take

58
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,679
Speaker 1: us back to the end zone throw to Davante that

59
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 1: that Humphrey ended up picking off? It seemed like there

60
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,639
Speaker 1: was just something you guys obviously weren't on the same page.

61
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 1: Like from your perspective, can you share us any insight

62
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: on what unfolded on that one? Yeah? I think, just

63
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: like I said earlier, a lot of good plays out there.

64
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 1: Dante had a lot of good plays and obviously we

65
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 1: had some bad ones too, so just trying to get

66
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 1: those ironed out. Um, it's like, it's the game, it's

67
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 1: early in the season, and definitely, you know, like I said,

68
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 1: we want more good plays, so try and take the

69
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 1: bad ones and eliminate them and you know, create more good,

70
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 1: positive plays and do that more consistently, and then we

71
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:56,839
Speaker 1: will have to be in that situation. Next question Trey

72
00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 1: dare Fall by Greg Badard and Mac Actually take some time.

73
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: I hope that you're feeling about it as you can,

74
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 1: and if you could, please, could you walk us through

75
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: the play and sort of what it felt like, what

76
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 1: you remember. I mean, there's some images there of you

77
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 1: being understandably and quite a bit of agony, so maybe

78
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,039
Speaker 1: even at the time mentally, how you were trying to

79
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 1: process what was going on. Yeah, I think. Um, like

80
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: I said, just you know, it is what it is,

81
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 1: and I'm just gonna focus on day by day and

82
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 1: get my treatment and do what I do. And um,

83
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,799
Speaker 1: you know, the play, it's football, it's physical, so feel

84
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 1: good about it. And like I said, if you have

85
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,159
Speaker 1: any more specifics so you can talk to good spell

86
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 1: talking about it. It was nothing specific. I just I

87
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 1: didn't have to ask Bill. I was just wondering how

88
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: it felt awesome. Thanks. Next question, Greig but Ard fall

89
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 1: by Dakota Raine, Hey, Macum related to that that Parker

90
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: interception where you know three points isn't a bad outcome there.

91
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,159
Speaker 1: You know, I know you're competitive and you're trying to

92
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,599
Speaker 1: make a play. How do you how do you balance that,

93
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,159
Speaker 1: you know, managing the game for the team also you know,

94
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 1: trying to make a big play and how do you

95
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:11,600
Speaker 1: do how do you think you're doing three games into

96
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:16,039
Speaker 1: the season as far as managing those types of situations. Yeah,

97
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 1: I think that's a great question. Greg. Definitely, like you said,

98
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 1: super competitive, So just knowing when to call it quits

99
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,920
Speaker 1: and you know, put the good plays out there. And

100
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,719
Speaker 1: I did that a lot yesterday. But we did that

101
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 1: a lot. It's just the more consistent we can do it,

102
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 1: the more opportunity that we won't even be in that situation. So, Um,

103
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 1: just trying to get more good plays out there and

104
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 1: trying to do it right every time. Next question to

105
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 1: cot Rondall follow by Michael Harley and Mac. You know,

106
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:53,840
Speaker 1: regardless of whether you're getting surgery or playing this weekend,

107
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 1: I'm just wondering. Had two and Jalen Hurts both had

108
00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,600
Speaker 1: high echel springs at Alabama and came back quickly, and

109
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:01,720
Speaker 1: just one if you've reached out to them or if

110
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:03,479
Speaker 1: you plan to reach out to them for any sort

111
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 1: of advice or information on treatment of any kind. Yeah,

112
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 1: I think everyone's different, And like I said, I'm just

113
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 1: gonna take a day to day and kind of get

114
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 1: my treatment and see how I feel. And everyone's different,

115
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:22,159
Speaker 1: so I can't really speak for other people. Next question,

116
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 1: and we'll try to just do single questions here so

117
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 1: we can through this. We'll do Phil Perry and Doug Kite. Hey, Mac,

118
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 1: you took off running yesterday five times thirty one yards,

119
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 1: scored your first rushing touchdown. What is it when you're

120
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: back there? What are you seeing? What is it that

121
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 1: leads you to decide to scramble? Um? Yeah? I think

122
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,160
Speaker 1: we have really good skill players in the great offensive line,

123
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 1: So just trying to get them the ball. Like always say,

124
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 1: they get more yards than I will ever get. So

125
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 1: whatever I can do to get them the ball better,

126
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna try and do. But you know, it's always

127
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 1: good to get positive plays and put them in the

128
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 1: good play category whenever you make positive plays, So definitely

129
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 1: want more of those and try and do it. Right

130
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 1: and get the ball to the open guys and do

131
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: your three final questions. Phil Perry, Doug Kite, and Andrew Kellyan.

132
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 1: Thanks Stacy, Hey Mac, I want to ask you how

133
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: much of an emphasis there has been for you guys

134
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 1: to throw the ball down the field this year. I

135
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 1: know it's three games, but I think through three games

136
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 1: here you're you're near the top of the league in

137
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 1: terms of average distance on your throws. So how much

138
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 1: of an emphasis has that been for you guys? Yeah,

139
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 1: I think, um, explosive plays are always good, and I

140
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 1: think a lot of the really good teams in the

141
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 1: NFL make eposive explosive plays. And just being able to

142
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 1: do that and then also, you know, hold on to

143
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 1: the ball and have a fine line between the two

144
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 1: I think is really important. So, um, explosive plays are

145
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 1: good plays and we want more of those. So they're

146
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 1: doing a good job giving me time, and the offensive

147
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 1: line has done a great job all year, so obviously

148
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 1: they're a big part of it. They might not show

149
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 1: up on the statue for the explosive play, but there's

150
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 1: a lot of you know, things that they're doing to

151
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 1: create those as well. So shout out to those guys.

152
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: The last two questions that kinde and Andrew Kellyan Hey, Man,

153
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 1: I hope you're feeling better today. I know you keep

154
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 1: saying your your day by day. Is there any significance

155
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 1: to you saying day by day rather than week by

156
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 1: week or any other timeframe. Um? Yeah, I think, like

157
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 1: I said, just day by day and just get my

158
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 1: treatment and see how I feel. And a lot of

159
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 1: times you don't really know what exactly what happens, and

160
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 1: you just gotta take it and get your treatment and

161
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:37,439
Speaker 1: you know, hopefully you feel better the next day and

162
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 1: you just grow from there. So UM, definitely want to

163
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 1: do that and just try and you know, get better.

164
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 1: And last question, Andrew Kellyan hey, Mac. Today it was

165
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 1: reported that you decided today to get a second opinion.

166
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 1: Is that true? Um? Yeah, like I said, just trying

167
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,719
Speaker 1: to take it day by day and you know, make

168
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 1: sure I get my help back and that that's just

169
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 1: getting my treatment and kind of going through the process

170
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 1: of what can I do to be better. So I'm

171
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 1: always gonna do that regardless of the week, and this

172
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 1: week is no different. Was that a part of your

173
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:22,319
Speaker 1: process seeking your second opinion? Um? Like I said, just

174
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:25,319
Speaker 1: I'm just waiting on the time here and just kind

175
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 1: of letting it play out and see how I feel.

176
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 1: I don't really have a lot of information on that,

177
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 1: and honestly just trying to make it to tomorrow and

178
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 1: get my rehab going there too. Thank you Mac, Thanks everyone,

179
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 1: all right. Thanks
