1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,320
Speaker 1: Hey, mac Hey, nobuddy, I'm good. How are you good?

2
00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:06,560
Speaker 1: I guess first, Bill talked about going inside the field

3
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:08,719
Speaker 1: house today and he was saying it won't be as

4
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:10,719
Speaker 1: warm as Miami, but you're trying to, I guess, simulate

5
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:13,319
Speaker 1: as much as possible. What is that light going in there?

6
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:17,319
Speaker 1: And how hot can they get inside of that field house? Yeah,

7
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:20,040
Speaker 1: I think we just practice where we're supposed to and

8
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:23,480
Speaker 1: we do a good job of trying to emulate how

9
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:26,119
Speaker 1: it's going to be in the game. So that was

10
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 1: good to get in there and all that and just

11
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 1: get ready to play and maybe a little bit different

12
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:39,839
Speaker 1: weather than what we've been playing in. Next question Mark

13
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 1: Daniels fall by Love and Read and mac Ball as well.

14
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 1: Heading into your final game of the regular season, for

15
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:50,160
Speaker 1: your first NFL season here, what would you say where's

16
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 1: the biggest area? Do you feel like you've grown, you know,

17
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 1: since this NFL journey started in September? Yeah, I think, Um,

18
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 1: every week is a new week, and it's a grind

19
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 1: and then there's a lot that goes into it. But um,

20
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 1: I'm really you know, excited about this week and the

21
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 1: opportunity that we have is a team to play against

22
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 1: a really good defense, and UM, you know, we have

23
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 1: to bring our a game and UM, that's what I've

24
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 1: learned is every week, you know, it's really hard to

25
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 1: win in the NFL, and you have to play your best, um,

26
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:19,759
Speaker 1: to give your chance a team to win, a chance

27
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 1: to win. Sorry, um, And if you do that, then

28
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:26,040
Speaker 1: that's all you can ask for. Um. And and that's

29
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: really much. It's question leven Reid, followed by Chris Ryan

30
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 1: and man has it going? No handwritten questions today, regular

31
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:43,680
Speaker 1: questions straight and foremost good. You just talked about their

32
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 1: defense and this is one of the defense that kind

33
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 1: of blitzes at a high volume. How do you have

34
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 1: to make sure that you stick to your keys and

35
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 1: stay on so you stay on service as you're going

36
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 1: against this defense? Yeah, I think, Um, they've done a

37
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 1: really good job, you know, getting after the quarterback and

38
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 1: creating negative plays and obviously with sacks and all that.

39
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 1: So they've done really good there and have given quarterbacks

40
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 1: that they play against a lot of different looks. Um.

41
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 1: So we just have to be ready and follow what

42
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 1: we know and follow our rules. So there's that's pretty

43
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 1: much all there is to it. And UM, yeah, like

44
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 1: you said, They've done a really good job, so we

45
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 1: just gotta be ready. Next question Chris Ryan, followed by

46
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 1: Mike Greece. Hey, Mac, um playing against Miami's but some

47
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 1: of some of the guys would be kind of like

48
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,920
Speaker 1: looking in the mirror, UM in terms of their defense.

49
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,799
Speaker 1: Is that something that that you've noticed as well and

50
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 1: watching the tape and is there anything you know that

51
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: you can gain from um having practiced against you know,

52
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 1: these guys and a similar scheme UM for a period

53
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:49,359
Speaker 1: of time here. Yeah, I think obviously there are some similarities,

54
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 1: but um, they are doing some some different stuff UM

55
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 1: and kind of adding their own flavor. So they've done

56
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,519
Speaker 1: a really good job all year mixing it up. But

57
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: there are similarities. But um, you know they changed a

58
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,399
Speaker 1: little bit too. And I've done a really good job,

59
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,919
Speaker 1: like I said, getting after the quarterback and being good

60
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 1: on third down and all that. So we just have

61
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 1: to be, you know, ready to go. And um, you know,

62
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: they have a good offense too that they practice against,

63
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 1: so they see a good offense just like we see

64
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:22,359
Speaker 1: a good defense. Next question Mike please fall by Nick Koit. Mac.

65
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 1: I sort of thought I'm gonna penalize that for unnecessary roughness?

66
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 1: What that was last week? We moved on. We've moved

67
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 1: on from the I'm on, I'm on to Miami. I

68
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 1: got unnecessary roughness there. M Mac. How would you describe

69
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: what ramondre Stevenson has brought to the team. Yeah, I

70
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: think um Andre, you know, just speaking on us as

71
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: rookies coming in together, you know, we've tried to work

72
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 1: hard as a rookie class to um be able to

73
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: help the team. And he's done a great job, just

74
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: coming in working really hard, you know, lifting, running, you know,

75
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: making plays when his you know, number is called. So

76
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: he's done a great job. And you know, I love

77
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: playing with the running back group that we have with

78
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 1: some of the older guys you know, in the beginning

79
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 1: of the year with James and you know obviously Brandon

80
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 1: and Damien. Um, they've done a great job, just all

81
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 1: of them. Whenever they've got their number called to step

82
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:23,040
Speaker 1: up and do what they do. Next question Nick quite

83
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 1: follow by Dan Roach. Thank you Stacy Mac. When we

84
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 1: watch you during the games and even looking at some

85
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,279
Speaker 1: of the you know, the video after the games, particularly

86
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: the Jaguars game just came out, we see how active

87
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 1: you are on the sideline, talking to teammates, communication, all

88
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: of that. Obviously, what goes on the field is on

89
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: the field. But how important is your role of being

90
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 1: active and communicating with your teammates when you're not on

91
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 1: the field and running the offense there? Yeah, I think, Um,

92
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,600
Speaker 1: that's something that I've tried to work on and try

93
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: to just be myself. And whenever I can do that,

94
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 1: you know, I play a lot better. And then obviously

95
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 1: the guys around me are doing exactly what they're supposed

96
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,279
Speaker 1: to do, UM, And my job is just to distribute

97
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: the ball to them. So that's on the field, and

98
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 1: then obviously making the corrections you know, in between series,

99
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:13,159
Speaker 1: and obviously keeping everybody motivated, UM, and most importantly having

100
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 1: fun and trying to create you know, great plays that's

101
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:19,599
Speaker 1: string together, um, that turn into great drives and then etc.

102
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 1: So it's it's a group effort, and you know, we're

103
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 1: out there trying to communicate and talking, just talk about

104
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 1: what we've seen. Next question, Matt, but tour Fall by

105
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 1: Allen Seq. Matt, who should Alabama fans be rooting for

106
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 1: when when Mac Jones goes up against two? Um? Yeah,

107
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 1: I think it's more just the Patriots versus the Dolphins. Um,

108
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 1: you know two is a great quarterback and he's done

109
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,279
Speaker 1: great stuff throughout his whole career. He's uh, you know

110
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 1: when we were together. He's a great teammate and a

111
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 1: great player. So UM, like I always say, we get

112
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: a chance to go against their defense and then they

113
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: get to go against ours. So um, we have two

114
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,719
Speaker 1: good teams, you know, competing against each other. So it'll

115
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: be a lot of fun. How much how much should

116
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 1: he help you prepare when when you were preparing for

117
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 1: the NFL before the draft and so forth, is he

118
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,720
Speaker 1: somebody that you looked you reached out to to to uh,

119
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: to just get some idea of what to expect and

120
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 1: and and how valuable was that? Yeah? I think, Um,

121
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 1: the whole experience is a learning experience, and the more

122
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 1: information you can gain, um, when trying to play in

123
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,719
Speaker 1: the NFL, the better. So I reached out to a

124
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: lot of different people. And obviously, you know, I have

125
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 1: a lot of room to grow and that I'm still

126
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,840
Speaker 1: trying to learn. Um and UM, he's been a good

127
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:43,040
Speaker 1: resource obviously, you know, in the pre draft process. But

128
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,600
Speaker 1: now that we're in the season, we're both just kind

129
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 1: of doing our own thing. Freshman Allen Seagull probably make charity.

130
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:56,360
Speaker 1: Thanks Dacy. I'm mac um interesting book hand here. Your

131
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 1: first game as a pro, you prepared for Miami. Now

132
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 1: your seventeenth game as a pro, you're preparing for Miami.

133
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 1: So once you put your thinking cap on, where were

134
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 1: you in your mindset back in September preparing for Miami

135
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 1: and the team Versus where you are now preparing for

136
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 1: Miami and how the team has grown too? Yeah, I think, Um,

137
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 1: like I said, there's a lot of stuff that happens

138
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 1: in between. But you know, we have a chance to

139
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 1: play against a really good defense, and they were a

140
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 1: really good defense in Week one. But it's gonna be

141
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 1: a new game and obviously down there at their place,

142
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 1: so we have to be ready to go, you know,

143
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 1: just like week one and try and you know, play

144
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 1: better than we did so that we can you know,

145
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 1: get more points. But where was your mindset individually preparing

146
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 1: for the first game versus where it is now? Yeah?

147
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 1: I try to just learn along the way, and you know,

148
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 1: each week, you know, starting with week one, you try

149
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: things and try to adjust them to find out what works.

150
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 1: So I just try to listen to my coaches and

151
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 1: pair every day, you know, prepare every week the same

152
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 1: as best I can, and then from there you develop

153
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 1: some consistency to where you can feel comfortable with it

154
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 1: and you kind of get into a rhythm. So I

155
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: feel pretty comfortable. Thanks, Matt, and I will take two

156
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 1: final questions here, Mike Giardi and Taylor Bickley and Mac

157
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 1: How are you? I'm good? How are you? I'm good?

158
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 1: Since Week nine, the Dolphins have blitzed more than any

159
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: team in the league by a long shot. I'm just

160
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 1: curious how you felt like you as a player have

161
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 1: handled the blitz this year. And there's a group of

162
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 1: skill position players with a communication that's necessary. Did you

163
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 1: guys have handled it? Yeah? I think it just depends

164
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,319
Speaker 1: on the team. And like you said, the Dolphins have

165
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 1: been doing that a lot more, and we just have

166
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 1: to communicate and understand, you know, our issues and all that.

167
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, we see a

168
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 1: lot of good looks from our defense and they bring

169
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 1: a lot of different looks too, so we have a

170
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 1: lot of practice at it. But like you said, they've

171
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 1: done a great job all year. The Dolphins have just

172
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 1: pressing the quarterback and getting sacks and creating negative place.

173
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 1: Thank you may last question Taylor Begley Mac. What's the

174
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 1: energy like around the team when you come in off

175
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 1: a win compared to you the past couple of weeks

176
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 1: when you come off losses. Yeah. I think the important

177
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,680
Speaker 1: thing is just listening to the message from you know,

178
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,679
Speaker 1: the older guys and our team and the leadership that

179
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,320
Speaker 1: they provide, and just coming in with the game plan

180
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 1: and try and attack the week regardless of the results,

181
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 1: and just focus on the process of getting ready to

182
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,199
Speaker 1: play in the next the next week. And that's all

183
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 1: you can ask for. You know, you can't necessarily look

184
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 1: at the past or be too focused on the future.

185
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,319
Speaker 1: You just have to be right where your feet are

186
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 1: and come in with the right mindset. And you have

187
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:53,319
Speaker 1: to try to do that every week. And it's it's

188
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 1: definitely a grind in the first year, but you just

189
00:09:56,200 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 1: got to keep pushing and figure it out. Thank smack

190
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 1: thinks Stacy, all right, Thanks
