1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,600
Speaker 1: Hey, Josh, I'm sure you have a fleet of Matt

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:06,440
Speaker 1: Jones questions coming at you, so I'm gonna let those

3
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:10,400
Speaker 1: come from elsewhere. I had a question specific to coaching

4
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:13,920
Speaker 1: against a former team. We've seen Brian Flores have success,

5
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:18,759
Speaker 1: Mike Vrabel have success, and Matt Patrician and yourself. What

6
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:24,200
Speaker 1: is it about coaching against a former team Patriots specifically,

7
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:27,920
Speaker 1: if you want to get into that that helps coaches

8
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 1: have success that we've seen in the past. I don't

9
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:36,879
Speaker 1: know that I could pinpoint the why on that. Um.

10
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 1: I I know that certainly there's some familiarity both ways

11
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:50,199
Speaker 1: with you know, with how things are done, you know,

12
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:54,320
Speaker 1: in a lot of areas, but I'm not really sure

13
00:00:54,360 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 1: that that you know alone is enough to determine the

14
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 1: outcome of a of a game. I mean, I think

15
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:09,400
Speaker 1: whenever we've competed against somebody who's left here, um, you know,

16
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 1: you there is some familiarity obviously, but I think in

17
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:19,199
Speaker 1: those games individually, you know, uh, you know we've coached

18
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 1: against Matt and you know they they beat us. You know,

19
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: back in eighteen coach against Mike. You know, they they

20
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 1: got us. You know, I think in nineteen and eighteen

21
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: you know, and and flows beating us a couple of

22
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 1: times too. So I mean, I you know, I think

23
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 1: how we perform in the game, and how we coach

24
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 1: and how well we we do that week and that

25
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 1: day really is the thing that determines the outcome. Um,

26
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 1: I wouldn't. I mean I was in that same position,

27
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 1: and I wouldn't say that I felt like, wow, you know, uh,

28
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 1: coming from here, I know all the answers and all

29
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 1: the rest of it, because that's not true. Um. You know,

30
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: this team always does things that you don't anticipate. Um,

31
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,639
Speaker 1: they have a weekly plan for the opponent that they're

32
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,799
Speaker 1: getting ready to play, and you know, you're never sure

33
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 1: what that's going to be. And so I can tell

34
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 1: you just from my own experience that you know, I don't.

35
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 1: I don't really think that had anything to do with

36
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 1: the outcome necessarily. I think, you know, it was a

37
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 1: close game and we competed hard and that's how it fell. So, UM,

38
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,640
Speaker 1: I don't know. There maybe there's somebody smarter than me

39
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:39,359
Speaker 1: that knows why exactly. That may have been the case

40
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,359
Speaker 1: in a handful of situations, But UM, I don't think

41
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,959
Speaker 1: that that alone gives you an advantage that is insurmountable.

42
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 1: All right, I appreciate it. Come up with something, especially Mike.

43
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: He already fall with her soul. Afternoon, Josh, Good afternoon.

44
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 1: I want to ask you a question about mac um

45
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:04,359
Speaker 1: in the post game, he took it pretty hard. He said,

46
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:05,920
Speaker 1: I think being the quarterback, I need to do a

47
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 1: better job. I'm reading the quote here demanding better in practice.

48
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 1: Sometimes I just let things slide myself included. That's not

49
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 1: good enough. So I'm gonna try and be more vocal.

50
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 1: I'm a vocal person, but it's a new situation. I

51
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 1: can be better in your four and a half months,

52
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 1: five months with with mac? Has he been vocal enough? Uh?

53
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: And is he being too hard on himself there about

54
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 1: demanding more in practice? That's how he feels, you know.

55
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 1: I don't want to speak for him, um, but I

56
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: think as a as a young player, you you know,

57
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: you earn you earn that, right, Uh, you know to

58
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 1: do that with your teammates, um, and you earn it

59
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 1: through repeated performance, preparation and production, you know, and so um.

60
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 1: You know, I think he's a very competitive guy. He

61
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: wants to win at everything that he's doing. He wants

62
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: to perform his best every single day, on every single rep.

63
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: I think that's a great trait and a great quality

64
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 1: to have, not only as a football player, but as

65
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: a human being. UM. We're fortunate that he that he

66
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: feels that way. UM. I think relative to you know,

67
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 1: um pushing himself and demanding the most from himself, I

68
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 1: think that's obviously the number one way to to lead. Um.

69
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: You know, you show everybody else that you're going to

70
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 1: hold yourself to a very high standard, and then you

71
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 1: know you're you're going to try to bring others along

72
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:37,040
Speaker 1: if you if you see uh, the opportunity to do so. UM.

73
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:38,840
Speaker 1: And I think he you know, he's a young guy.

74
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 1: He's his first year, it's his first regular season game,

75
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 1: and UM, you know, I think he probably wants to

76
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 1: improve in a lot of things which he has room

77
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 1: for growth and and improvement as a not only as

78
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: a football player, but as a guy who's a leader,

79
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: you know on the offensive huddle. UM, a guy that

80
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 1: has you know, certainly a lot of say in terms of, uh,

81
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 1: you know, how we're going to play. And so UM,

82
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 1: I think each of it probably was um, you know,

83
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: speaking about motivating our our group, specifically when he's with

84
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:16,160
Speaker 1: him to just get the maximum amount out of everybody. Uh.

85
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,280
Speaker 1: And whatever we're talking about a walk through, a practice,

86
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 1: a game, a quarter, or a series, a drive, a play.

87
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 1: So um, I'm I'm eager to continue to work with him,

88
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 1: um in in every area. And I'm like I said,

89
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: I'm excited that he you know, certainly wasn't happy with

90
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 1: the outcome the other day and it's looking forward to

91
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: prepare and hard for the Jets. Thanks Josh, Thanks question

92
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:46,160
Speaker 1: Chua Sullivan, followed by Philip Parians. Thanks Stacy, Hi Josh,

93
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 1: I'll follow up with another Mac question. And in fact,

94
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,279
Speaker 1: I was going to read that exact same quote. So

95
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:52,839
Speaker 1: maybe just you know, give us a little bit of

96
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 1: your thumbnail. What you felt about Mac coming out of

97
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 1: the game, What was good, what needed the most work? Um,

98
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:00,719
Speaker 1: And I would love to know if you had any

99
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 1: thought on him not wanting or not taking that football

100
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 1: which got a lot of play, Um, the football. I

101
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: don't really know where that football is or or or

102
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 1: what have you. I know he's he's not uh, he's

103
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:20,839
Speaker 1: certainly not absorbed in um selfish things or self promotion.

104
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 1: So I think he's uh, it's more about the team,

105
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,359
Speaker 1: and and and how he can help the team and

106
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:28,359
Speaker 1: how he can play better. So I don't know what

107
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 1: happened with that, but I know that's his attitude in mindset. Um. Yeah,

108
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:36,160
Speaker 1: it's I think, Look, there's no young player that's ever

109
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: played in their first NFL game, uh, that didn't come

110
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,039
Speaker 1: out of the game and say, Okay, Wow, there's a

111
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,040
Speaker 1: lot of things that I can really learn moving forward

112
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:47,479
Speaker 1: that I hadn't experienced before. And so, um, I thought

113
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 1: that there was some positives, uh, to to his play. Um.

114
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,160
Speaker 1: But at the same time, I think he knows that

115
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 1: there's a few decisions that he you know, that he

116
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 1: made and um, you know, a couple of reads and

117
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 1: a few throws, and you know, there's you know, I

118
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 1: don't know any and there's not many quarterbacks that play

119
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 1: the game the NFL that come out and say, man,

120
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 1: I had a perfect game. So there was some there

121
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 1: was some positives in the game, for sure, some things

122
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 1: he learned, some things that he did well. Uh. And

123
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: then I think there's also some things that now he's

124
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 1: seen them, he's seen some things different in the game. Uh.

125
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 1: Certainly the speed of the game and the regular seasons

126
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 1: different than the preseason, he'll adapt to that, and then

127
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: he'll continue to improve his communication, his ability to see

128
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 1: things quickly, and the decisions that he makes hopefully will

129
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 1: improve along the way as well. And we'll try we'll

130
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 1: try to take two final questions here. I feel period

131
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 1: of Mozart Hey, Josh understanding it, It wasn't perfect for Mac.

132
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 1: How did you feel about his communication, specifically just right

133
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 1: at the line of scrimmage before the snap, because, um,

134
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 1: it seemed like, you know, in the in the Dolphins

135
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 1: under floors have been pretty aggressive. It seemed like they

136
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 1: were pretty aggressive in terms of the number of guys

137
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 1: they brought at times, you know, bringing guys from different places.

138
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 1: How did you feel like he handled that aspect of it?

139
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 1: Just understanding what he was seeing and it seemed like

140
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 1: he was getting the ball out relatively quickly. Yeah, I

141
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 1: thought he uh, yeah, they did. Uh. They certainly challenged

142
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 1: us with a lot of different looks and pressures. Um,

143
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 1: you know, and and that's to be expected. Um, And

144
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: I thought Mac handled most of that very well. Um.

145
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 1: His communication I thought was clear, it was consistent. He

146
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 1: was loud. Um. You know, I always tell rookies or

147
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 1: young players, you know, if you're not one hundred percent sure.

148
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 1: It's not okay to be quiet. You know, I'd rather

149
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 1: than be loud and wrong than than silent, and you know,

150
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 1: and and then nobody knows what's going on. So um,

151
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:01,719
Speaker 1: he's he's always done a good job regard and I

152
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 1: would expect that he continued to do so. But yeah,

153
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 1: it's Look, you know, it's no secret that our quarterback

154
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 1: there's a significant amount of communicating along with our center

155
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 1: and the rest of our skill players. So that's part

156
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 1: of his job. He's embraced that since he got here,

157
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 1: and I thought he'd tried to handle that, you know,

158
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 1: as well as he could on Sunday, with obviously room

159
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,319
Speaker 1: to grow, room to improve, and we're looking forward to

160
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 1: doing that this week on the road. Thanks John, yep.

161
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 1: Last question everyone was are Hey, Josh, I also wanted

162
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 1: to ask you a question about Mac and just at

163
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 1: this stage, how much would you say freedom he has

164
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 1: at the line of scrimmage to get you guys into

165
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,679
Speaker 1: the right play. You know, maybe the defense coverage or

166
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:50,839
Speaker 1: front or whatever is showing you one thing and you

167
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 1: got something else called Does he have that freedom now

168
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:56,680
Speaker 1: to be able to check it out of something and

169
00:09:56,679 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 1: get into something better. Yeah, I mean we you know,

170
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 1: our system has really been pretty much the same for

171
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:10,680
Speaker 1: a long time in terms of trying to provide let's

172
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 1: just say quality uh answers or or give our offense

173
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 1: an opportunity to run a play that has a chance

174
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 1: to succeed. Hopefully we do a good job of that

175
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 1: and the planning process so that the quarterback doesn't have

176
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 1: to do that as much. UM. We've always tried to

177
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 1: do that. It doesn't always work that way, and obviously

178
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,680
Speaker 1: there's exceptional coaches and players on the other side that

179
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:40,319
Speaker 1: make that difficult sometimes. But you know, he's uh, he

180
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 1: can you know, he's a he's a young guy that's

181
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 1: learning and hopefully will continue to improve and has a

182
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 1: lot of room to grow. Um. And we'll just try

183
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 1: to make sure that we um, you know, he's doing

184
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 1: things that he is comfortable doing and that he knows

185
00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:00,680
Speaker 1: how to do well. And so UM that is an

186
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 1: ongoing process for young players. I would say it's an

187
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 1: ongoing process for most every player, but especially the young players.

188
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:10,679
Speaker 1: You know, what do they do well, what do they

189
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 1: have confidence in? And then hopefully you make the decisions

190
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 1: based on your plan that give them an opportunity to

191
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 1: run the most of those that they can in a

192
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 1: single Sunday. So there's certain things that he could do

193
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 1: and certain things that he's not ready to do, and

194
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 1: hopefully we make the right choices each week based on

195
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 1: what you know, the opponent does, how they play, and

196
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 1: what we need to be able to do with the

197
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 1: lone of scrimmage as well. But he'll continue to learn

198
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 1: and grow in that area. Also, Thanks Josh, Yep, thank

199
