1
00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:08,880
Speaker 1: This is your first Thursday Thursday approaches. Um. I think

2
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:13,400
Speaker 1: just trust your training and just um focus on where

3
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 1: you can control and just have a right attitude throughout

4
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:19,120
Speaker 1: the week and then be ready to go on Thursday.

5
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:25,640
Speaker 1: You ever had a quick turnaround like this? Um? No, Um,

6
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 1: this is the first Thursday night game we've had, so

7
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:32,320
Speaker 1: it'll be a good experience just to learn how to play.

8
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:36,559
Speaker 1: You know, right after you just played on Sunday, just

9
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 1: said how you trying to assert viewership in years and

10
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:45,239
Speaker 1: development as a leader position? Um, I think that just

11
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 1: happens naturally. Um. You can't force yourself to be a leader,

12
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,559
Speaker 1: and it comes with time. And I'm obviously doing the

13
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 1: right thing um all the time. And really good leaders

14
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 1: just they're they're themselves. They don't try to be somebody else,

15
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 1: and they just do what they are supposed to do

16
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 1: when they do it to the best of their ability.

17
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 1: It's the biggest difference this week, Mack in terms of

18
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 1: getting ready for you know, the quick turnaround, everything crams

19
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 1: something like that, or what's the biggest difference. Yeah, I

20
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: think just time. The Usually we play on Sunday and

21
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 1: now we're playing on Thursday. So you just loose a

22
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 1: couple of days and you just have to get it

23
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:25,399
Speaker 1: all in while you can and then just be ready

24
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 1: to go by Thursday. How are you doing with that

25
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:32,559
Speaker 1: loss of time right now? Yeah? Um, I think today

26
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 1: was good, but definitely some stuff to clean up dontems

27
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 1: in the twenty four hour rule. It's normally the rule.

28
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 1: But did that have to get cut back maybe a

29
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 1: little bit this week? Yeah, for sure. Um with the

30
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 1: quick turnaround, just we all made an agreement to focus

31
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 1: on Thursday and nothing in the past matters and nothing

32
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 1: in the future past Thursday matters, So we're all on

33
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: the same page there. I know it's not a quick drive,

34
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 1: but jany after family maybe from Jacksonville are going to

35
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 1: be able to make this one. Um. Yeah, my family

36
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 1: will be there. They come to all the games, so

37
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 1: it's always good. Earlier, Jun told us that you don't

38
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: really talk, so he always goes on his way to

39
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: try and make you talks like, Um, they're good. I

40
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: think Matt's a funny person and he's always having fun

41
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,959
Speaker 1: with it, and like we talked about earlier with leadership,

42
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 1: he just he's just himself and um, yeah, that's just

43
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:29,919
Speaker 1: who he is. He's a fun guy and you can

44
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 1: tell on the fuel he's just out there playing the

45
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:36,239
Speaker 1: game how he knows how to play. Looking at the

46
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 1: touchdown in through the Kendrick game and just for that's

47
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: an example, you feel like you're confidence to throw into

48
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: those tire windows down the field that has grown now

49
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 1: later in the season. Um yeah, I think just just

50
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 1: nailing the opportunity when it's there. Um, and there's been

51
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 1: times I've missed that and I can definitely do a

52
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 1: better job of that consistently. And um it just goes

53
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: back to sticking to my reads and um on that play,

54
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: he was open and I threw it to him, and

55
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: we just gotta keep doing that. The Falcon's defensive coordinator

56
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 1: DMPs actually used to have a little background with Lack. Yeah,

57
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: do you know about him and their defense? Um yeah,

58
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 1: I think they're a really good defense. They play with

59
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 1: a lot of effort and um, they do some stuff

60
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 1: to confuse the quarterback and um, you know they've done

61
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: a good job of disguising and all that. So we

62
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:27,519
Speaker 1: just gotta go out there and stick to our rules

63
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:29,519
Speaker 1: and um, they're a good team. They have a really

64
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 1: good team speed and he's a great defensive coordinator who's

65
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: been around for a long time, you know here, Baltimore, Tennessee, etc.

66
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 1: So he's been a lot of different places and he's

67
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 1: done a good job every at every stop. We're about

68
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 1: to match. You don for a second through a favorite

69
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 1: funny match you don story, Um not really. Um, just

70
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 1: every day there's something new. So he just he just

71
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: likes to have fun. And um, he always has the

72
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: music in the locker room and stuff. So he's the

73
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 1: the DJ. I guess if you want to call him that, No,

74
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 1: they can, they can do that, and I just listen

75
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 1: and just like everybody else, when you come up a

76
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 1: game where you play well in the offenses is clearly

77
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:19,839
Speaker 1: is it is there a different feeling getting to the

78
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 1: week as opposed to maybe you come up a performance

79
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 1: where you know you weren't happy with yourself. Um, not really.

80
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 1: I think just that's a lot of outcome thinking and um,

81
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 1: you can't really focus on that. It's hard too, but um,

82
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 1: you shouldn't have you shouldn't have to let something bad

83
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,839
Speaker 1: happen to you to be good, if that makes sense,

84
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 1: Like you should just demand yourself to be good all

85
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: the time, regardless of if your last play. Your last

86
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 1: game was good or bad, So, um, that's something that

87
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 1: you just have to take for a great assault and

88
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:54,040
Speaker 1: just keep moving forward. And um, don't focus on the

89
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 1: past and don't focus on the future. I know it

90
00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 1: won't be an issue this week since you guys home,

91
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 1: but how have you prepared yourself for these cold games

92
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 1: that are going to be coming up in a couple

93
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 1: of weeks. Um, Yeah, this game will be inside, so

94
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 1: we don't have to worry about any of that, and

95
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,720
Speaker 1: when the other stuff happens, it will happen. And um,

96
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: we always practice outside, so it's always good to get

97
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:23,919
Speaker 1: the reps there outside. How would you say your relationship

98
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 1: with Daniels has evolved by facts and straining camp to

99
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,840
Speaker 1: now like you guys, how often would you communicate you're

100
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 1: running some bible all the time, Like, Um, yeah, Josh,

101
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,159
Speaker 1: he's a great coach and he's been close with me

102
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 1: ever since I got here, and he knows that, Um,

103
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 1: he wants me to be the best player I can be,

104
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 1: just like everybody else on the offense. So communication is

105
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 1: definitely important and we've done a good job of that

106
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 1: all year, and obviously he's done a great job putting

107
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 1: me in a position to lead the offense and for

108
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 1: the other guys to make the play. So he does

109
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,280
Speaker 1: a great job of that and hopefully we can just

110
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: continue to do that. And Sunday, once again we saw

111
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 1: the modest screamach with some hands something you change, you

112
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,919
Speaker 1: check some players. It seemed maybe more than once you

113
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 1: checked a couple of times, much more comfortable confident are

114
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 1: you in that aspect? Um? Yeah, I think just goes

115
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:16,039
Speaker 1: back to applying the coaching to the game and when

116
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 1: you're out there and they give you the look that

117
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 1: you want and then keep it and they don't give

118
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 1: you the look you want and change it. But we

119
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:25,840
Speaker 1: practice those and at this point we've had a lot

120
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 1: of experience throughout the past couple of months. So it's

121
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 1: just a lot of the ins and outs of the

122
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 1: offense and doing what you're supposed to do based on

123
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:37,919
Speaker 1: the knowledge that you already have and like the baseline

124
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,840
Speaker 1: rules that you already have, So just trying to get

125
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,359
Speaker 1: the right play calls at the right time. Are you

126
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 1: free to check to whatever route or protection or run

127
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 1: you want? Um? Yeah, that's top secret information. You'll have

128
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 1: to ask Josh or coach Belichick about that one. Ever

129
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:05,160
Speaker 1: since Yakov got the Crimson hair. Have you noticed that? Yeah? Yeah,

130
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 1: maybe he should become a Bama fan or keep it,

131
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 1: I guess, oh good anybody else setting professionally but experience, Yeah,

132
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 1: I mean I always say, just the field is one

133
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 1: hundred yards long and fifty three and a third wide,

134
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 1: so just focus on that and everything else is will

135
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 1: change every week. Um, So that's all you can really

136
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 1: focus on. And a lot of people have played here

137
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 1: and I think it's a great stadium, but it's not

138
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 1: the most important thing, you know, so you have to

139
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 1: make sure you're aware of the fans in Yeah. Yeah,

140
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 1: I think there's familiarity there, but um, you know, I

141
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 1: always do that. And the quarterback's job is to find

142
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 1: the play clocks whenever they whatever stadium you're get, get

143
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 1: there and find him and then just kind of play

144
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 1: the game on the field that you've always played it on.

145
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 1: So has David been tripping you about his undefeated dogs

146
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 1: as of late? Does he get deeper in all? Um? Yeah,

147
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 1: a little bit, um, but yeah, we talk about it

148
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 1: every once in a while, but nothing crazy. Yeah, all right, cool,

149
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 1: thanks h
