1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:07,600
Speaker 1: It's up, thil good are you It's better? Um? Once again,

2
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:10,520
Speaker 1: we're trying to just focus on the process and M

3
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:12,960
Speaker 1: definitely it was a better day for us, but we

4
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:15,560
Speaker 1: gotta just watch the tape and clean it up and UM,

5
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:17,920
Speaker 1: good day in the heat again. Once again. It's good

6
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:21,279
Speaker 1: always to train out here and use these facilities and

7
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:24,080
Speaker 1: all that, so it's good clean practice. Can you tell

8
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:26,640
Speaker 1: us what happened on that last throw to Hunter? And

9
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 1: just looked like a big celebration for it was just

10
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 1: the end of a two minute drive and UM to

11
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:35,159
Speaker 1: finish the game. So we had a last play call

12
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:36,559
Speaker 1: and he made a good catch and I had time

13
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:39,520
Speaker 1: to throw it. So good practice to get that situation.

14
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,839
Speaker 1: Both teams got the situation. So that'll come up for

15
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:45,240
Speaker 1: both of our seasons. You know, you never know what's

16
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 1: gonna happen, but you gotta be ready for it. It

17
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 1: seems like you went to Kobe Hum you know, I

18
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 1: mean you find them all over the field. What is

19
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:53,239
Speaker 1: it about him and that you know you have a

20
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 1: lot of comfort with m. Yeah, he's just a really

21
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 1: smart football player. He's been one of my close friends

22
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 1: since I've gotten here, and I trust him. We see

23
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 1: the game in the same way, sometimes without even talking

24
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:07,119
Speaker 1: about it. So we're just working on, you know, growing

25
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: together and kind of making our repertoire a little better.

26
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:11,959
Speaker 1: Just with what he sees. How can he help me?

27
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 1: How can I help him? And hopefully we can grow

28
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,960
Speaker 1: together here. And he's just a tough, smart football player

29
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:20,400
Speaker 1: and I'll take him on my team forever, hopefully. It's

30
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 1: the feeling like a bouncing back, you know, if not

31
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 1: just a day or anything, but play to play and

32
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 1: see to read the series. It seemed like you guys

33
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 1: had that a little bit today. Yeah, I think that

34
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 1: just play each play, one play at a time, and

35
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 1: don't worry about the last play, don't worry about really

36
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: the next players, focus on the player on and sometimes

37
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:39,839
Speaker 1: it's hard to do that when there's a lot going.

38
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: It's faster than a game in practice, in my opinion,

39
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,559
Speaker 1: we're just trying to make it harder. So just trying

40
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 1: to get to that one play mentality and then continuing

41
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 1: to do that obviously during the games and during every practice.

42
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 1: I think that's a good point. Do you like the

43
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: joint practices. I love the joint practices. I think it's

44
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 1: really good work, you know, especially here, Like I said,

45
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 1: get in the heat, go against the team with a

46
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 1: lot of familiar players and really good coaches, and um,

47
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 1: just compete and play football and not worry about anything

48
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 1: else and just come out. And you know, it was fun.

49
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:14,359
Speaker 1: You know they're always fun, but this one was a

50
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 1: lot of fun, just having some familiar faces out there too.

51
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 1: Speaking of Bad, how much did you enjoy the opportunity

52
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:21,919
Speaker 1: to interact with a little bit now you're focused, don't

53
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 1: have to do with Josh, both your former teammates and

54
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 1: so forth. Yeah, I think. Um, like I said, whether

55
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 1: that's between Alabama or the Patriots, I have very fortunate

56
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,359
Speaker 1: everywhere we go, I have at least a teammate or

57
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 1: two or coach or somebody. And obviously they have a

58
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,919
Speaker 1: great coaching staff. And you can tell our coaching staffs

59
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,079
Speaker 1: respect one another and the players do too. So it

60
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 1: was just good, healthy competition and we just got to

61
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 1: carry that over to the game and see how that goes. Mack,

62
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: between the stuff today and then yesterday, the last drive,

63
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 1: it seems like when you guys get in like the

64
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,679
Speaker 1: two minute prey up mode, Yeah, you seem to be

65
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 1: able to move the football. What about Bad makes you

66
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 1: guys kind of work a little bit better. Um, I mean, yeah,

67
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 1: it's just you got to throw it, and you know,

68
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 1: with throws come bigger plays. So it's always good to

69
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 1: know that you're throwing it and you can feel comfortable

70
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: and know what you're trying to get, whether that's a

71
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 1: field goal or a touchdown. So you get to play

72
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 1: a little bit of the game within the game. Do

73
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: I need this many yards or that many yards? And

74
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 1: obviously you know you're throwing it, So that's a lot

75
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 1: of a lot of it. But like you said, you

76
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: know the two minute. You can have the worst day

77
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 1: ever and you could be down by a lot of

78
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:26,639
Speaker 1: points in a real game. But if it's ten ten

79
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 1: at the end of the game and you get down

80
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 1: and score kick a fool goal to win, then nothing

81
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 1: matters before that. So that was one thing that we took,

82
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 1: you know, give or take out of yesterday's you know,

83
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: in practice, it's kind of not really like the real thing,

84
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 1: but you know it's good practice. Back on the radio

85
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: yesterday about how you guys are still kind of trying

86
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: to figure out what your m is offensively with your

87
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 1: identity is how quickly do you need to find that

88
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 1: with the first meaningful game, you know, a couple of

89
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: weeks away here. Yeah, I think, um, we have, we've

90
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: We've done it in multiple ways. It's just finding it

91
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: in a game and ying our rhythm and um, that's

92
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: gonna just happen over time. And it's a long season

93
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 1: and we're not really worried about the future. I think

94
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: Coach Belichick's laid it out for us that we're gonna

95
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 1: focus on, all right, how can we just play better?

96
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: How can we just fundamentally be better? Like for me,

97
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 1: just throw to the open guy whatever wherever that may be.

98
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:19,719
Speaker 1: It could be deep, short in the middle, it doesn't

99
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 1: really matter. And for the offensive line, pad level and

100
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: things like that. So it's a lot of fundamental stuff

101
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 1: that if you just fix those, it really doesn't matter

102
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 1: what you do XS and oath wise, you should be

103
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 1: able to compete with the players that we have and

104
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 1: all the talent that we have back and those gotta

105
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: have a plays when you're in the huddle, what's it

106
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: like you do you just call to play or do

107
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 1: you have to deliver a kind of an extra message

108
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 1: for yeah situation. That's the cool thing about the NFL

109
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,279
Speaker 1: is the huddle and for me, that's one of my

110
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 1: favorite parts. I'm pretty laid back guy, but I can

111
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 1: always give that message like hey, I need some time here,

112
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 1: and they always respond really well, which I appreciate. And

113
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 1: offensive line did a great job today specifically just keep

114
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,600
Speaker 1: in the pocket clean and obviously it's practice, but it's

115
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 1: still really good there. And you know, it could be

116
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:04,919
Speaker 1: a short message like hey, make sure you catch it

117
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:06,720
Speaker 1: and get down. We're gonna call it time out. It's

118
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,159
Speaker 1: all sorts of things. So it's a constant game within

119
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 1: the game, um that we have to keep working on.

120
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,039
Speaker 1: And that's what I love about being here is I

121
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 1: feel so prepared when they come up in the game,

122
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,159
Speaker 1: just based off of my experiences. Just I'm always prepared

123
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 1: for what's coming. Thanks are you
