1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:02,920
Speaker 1: Mac, How you doing good? How are you good? I

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:05,600
Speaker 1: wish we were in person, like we said before, but yeah,

3
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:09,280
Speaker 1: great to be with you. Um. So Mac, let's let's

4
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:11,800
Speaker 1: start with this. Um. You know, with Brian ending up

5
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:15,800
Speaker 1: on the COVID reserve, Um, how does that change the

6
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 1: dynamic with the quarterbacks as you prepare for um Sunday's game? Yeah?

7
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:24,960
Speaker 1: I think, Um, you know, not to speak for him

8
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 1: or anything, but he's been helping us just like you

9
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 1: would on any other day. And UM, you know he's

10
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 1: always helped me throughout the week just getting ready and

11
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 1: you know, hopping in there and getting his reps whenever

12
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 1: you can, and doing all the things you can to

13
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 1: help us win. And UM, I know we've talked and

14
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:44,480
Speaker 1: and all that, and UM we're just gonna keep game

15
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:47,240
Speaker 1: planning and take his advice like I do every week,

16
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 1: just to follow up on that. Just the whole COVID thing, right,

17
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's crazy with everything going on. How

18
00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 1: are you sort of protecting yourself the best you can?

19
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 1: You know, knowing that some of these things are out

20
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: of all of our control. Yeah, I think it just

21
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:09,959
Speaker 1: goes back to controlling what you can control, and you know,

22
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 1: just try and follow all the rules and all that,

23
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 1: and like you said, some of it's out of your control,

24
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 1: but just follow the rules and try and keep distance

25
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: and just listen to the medical people we have on

26
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 1: our on our team that I've been telling us what

27
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 1: to do, and you know, just to make sure that

28
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 1: we're safe. So just an announcement, Devin mccordy is joining

29
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 1: Stephanie's room. Currently, we'll go to Andrew Callahan, followed by

30
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 1: everyone was ar Hey, mac Aleco, Mike's thoughts and just

31
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 1: say it's good to see you, even if it's just

32
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 1: virtually here. I know we asked you before you guys

33
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: played the Jets about if you had a relationship with

34
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 1: Zach Wilson, if you had any contact with Trevor Lawrence

35
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 1: when you guys were in the draft process or even

36
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 1: before that. Yeah, I've known Trevor, you know, just going

37
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: back to high school, just some camps and stuff like that.

38
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: And you know, he's a great quarterback, he's a great person,

39
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 1: and I know he's a great leader. And obviously we're

40
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 1: both rookies and we're learning along the way together. But

41
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 1: you know, it is fun to watch the crossover tape

42
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,919
Speaker 1: and see how well he's been doing and all that.

43
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 1: So I know you've been obviously really complimentary of just

44
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 1: the coaches and your teammates, you know, as whatever you've

45
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 1: achieved is also credit to them, right, how much would

46
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: you estimate, you know, of your success though, is ascribed

47
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 1: to them and how they've kind of helped you along

48
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 1: as you mentioned constantly learning as rookie here. Yeah, I

49
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: think learning from whoever I can, whenever I can, that's important.

50
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 1: And I think everyone that's a good player tries to

51
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 1: do that. And I'm trying to be a good player,

52
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,079
Speaker 1: So I want to learn from you know, not only

53
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 1: Josh and bow and all the coaches, but you know,

54
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 1: anyone I can who's been in the NFL for a

55
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: long time, whether that be a defensive guy or somebody

56
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,959
Speaker 1: on offense or somebody on special team. So I'm still learning,

57
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: and I try to learn every day and just have

58
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:06,799
Speaker 1: a positive mindset and come in and work and get better. Thanks. Thanks,

59
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 1: Next question Evan lasaref all myans too? Hey? Mac? How

60
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: you doing good? Good? I want to ask you just

61
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 1: what the colts in the Bills defenses, if there's any

62
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:22,519
Speaker 1: commonality is that they've thrown at you schematically or anything

63
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 1: like that that you can point to. Um, that's become

64
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 1: a little bit of a more regular blueprint against you

65
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 1: guys over the last two weeks. Yeah, I think you know,

66
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: every team has their m O and what they want

67
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: to do, just like every offense does. And um, you know,

68
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 1: some people pressure more, some people play so and some

69
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 1: people play same play man, So I think every week's

70
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 1: just different. And um, this week, I know that, you know,

71
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 1: the Jags, they have a good defense and they bring

72
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 1: a lot of different looks and a lot of different

73
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 1: pressures and spend the dial and all that. So it's

74
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: what they do and they're really good at it, and

75
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 1: they bring a lot of pressure. So we know we

76
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: have to be ready for Every week's different. So I

77
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: can't answer, you know from the past. I know what

78
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 1: we went against, but every week's different. So all right,

79
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 1: thank you. Next question Ian steel Feel, followed by Mike Greece. Hey, Matt,

80
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 1: how are you? I'm good? How are you good? Good?

81
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 1: With the news of John Madden's passing, I wanted to

82
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: ask you, you know, when you think of John Madden,

83
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 1: do you think of him as the coach or the

84
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: broadcaster or the video game. Off the top of your head,

85
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 1: I think all of the above. Um, obviously that was

86
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 1: sad news to hear, just being a kid and knowing

87
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 1: who he was and knowing what he meant for the

88
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 1: game of football. Obviously that's sad news to hear. And

89
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 1: I just want to send my prayers to anyone that

90
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 1: knew him or had a relationship with him, including his family.

91
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 1: So obviously he meant a lot to football and will

92
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 1: always meet a lot to football. So whether it's the

93
00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 1: video game, the coach, the broadcaster, he did it all

94
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:02,159
Speaker 1: and he meant a lot to a lot of people.

95
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: Thank you. Next question, Mike Queens fall by Love and read.

96
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 1: So Mac, this is a little bit of a different question,

97
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: So entertain me if you will. There's different ways to

98
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 1: communicate email, text, face to face, handwritten note, And I'm

99
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: wondering to you what is the meaning of a handwritten note? Yeah,

100
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 1: I think handwritten notes are personal, you know, versus a

101
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 1: text or an email. I don't have a preference necessarily,

102
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:38,599
Speaker 1: but you know, I've always been taught that you know,

103
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 1: when you sit down and write write a note to

104
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 1: whoever you're trying to communicate with, it means a little

105
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 1: bit more so, I'm not sure where your question is going,

106
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 1: but hopefully that answered it. Yeah. Yeah, well I've heard,

107
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,479
Speaker 1: I've heard like Peyton Manning for example, used to write

108
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 1: out handwritten notes. If I'm not mistaken, Yeah, I think

109
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: Kurt Warner when the Patriot beat the Rams and the

110
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:04,279
Speaker 1: Super Bowl back in two thousand and one, way way back,

111
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 1: if I recall, he wrote a handwritten note to coach Belichick,

112
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 1: and it just struck me that, you know, you, you

113
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:16,279
Speaker 1: might be a handwritten note type of guy where I

114
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,720
Speaker 1: was coming from. So yeah, I think there. Yeah, that's

115
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: a good point, I guess. I mean just that's one

116
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 1: way to communicate, and it just depends on the person,

117
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 1: I guess. Thank thanks for taking that one. Next question

118
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,920
Speaker 1: Levin Rene, follow by Dan Roach and Mac thank you

119
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,159
Speaker 1: for doing this. I'm sorry, Mike give you a question

120
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,160
Speaker 1: about handwritten notes because nobody knew where he was going

121
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:45,600
Speaker 1: with that. Good Can you just talk about the roller

122
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 1: coaster of the season. How do you hold your emotions

123
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 1: when you're two and six and then you go seven

124
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,360
Speaker 1: in row and now in the in the month of

125
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 1: December when things are supposed to be you're getting ready

126
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,600
Speaker 1: for the postseason, and making a postseason push you've lost

127
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 1: to How have you been able to hand your emotions? Yeah?

128
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:05,600
Speaker 1: I think, UM, like I always say, just focus on

129
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: what's important to you and UM, that's coming into work

130
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 1: every day and trying to do your job. And obviously

131
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 1: there's gonna be ebbs and flows with every season that

132
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 1: you play, and UM, the only week that matters, you know,

133
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 1: if you're lucky enough to get the next week. So

134
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 1: we know that that that's this week, and UM, that's

135
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 1: all we're guaranteed. And then when next week comes, we'll

136
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 1: focus on that. But you know, our hundred percent focus

137
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 1: is on this week and how we can you know,

138
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 1: come out and come to practice and fix the issues

139
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 1: that we've had and um, trying to get better and

140
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 1: focus on our fundamentals and things like that, just so

141
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 1: that we can focus on today today and then tomorrow comes,

142
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 1: we'll be ready for tomorrow. It's like two final questions

143
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 1: with our Dan Roach and Chris Ryan. Hi, Mac, I'm

144
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 1: not sure if I should handwrite this question to you

145
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 1: in honor of Mike Restore. What we should do just

146
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 1: to take care of Mike and is an okay? Mike,

147
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 1: I understand you tell us we love Mike. Yeah, we learned,

148
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, but it kind of longlines.

149
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 1: What's Levin just asked you about what's the been the

150
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 1: message this week? In the locker room. The players talked

151
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 1: after the game, a lot of the leaders saying it's time,

152
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 1: you know, no more talk, it's time to just even

153
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 1: work harder and focus in on what we need to do.

154
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 1: Over your course of your career, have you found that,

155
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 1: you know, that's the best method to do things when

156
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 1: it comes to any type of loss and trying to

157
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 1: bounce back and get better and better. Yeah, Dan, I think, um,

158
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 1: you know, just football is is definitely an emotional sport,

159
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 1: and um, it comes down to just execution. And UM,

160
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 1: I think that's a good message, is just try and

161
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 1: focus on where you can control. And um, that's this

162
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 1: week and that's today's practice. And the energy was there,

163
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 1: the you know, positivity, the whatever you want to call it.

164
00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 1: We were all ready to work and um, that's how

165
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 1: it has to be every day and it's a group

166
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,719
Speaker 1: effort and we're trying to be able to do that consistently.

167
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 1: And that's the other thing is just being consistent, Um,

168
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,320
Speaker 1: just knowing what you're going to get every day coming

169
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 1: in at this point in the year, that's all we're

170
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 1: guaranteed is today, and um, that's what we can focus on.

171
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 1: So I think it's just xs and os and execution

172
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 1: that it comes down to. Thank you. Yep. Last question,

173
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 1: Chris Bryan, Hey, Mac are you I'm good? How are

174
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: you good? A lot of times, you know, some of

175
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 1: the greats will focus on how they respond to adversity,

176
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 1: and for you, I'm interested in what you're find out

177
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 1: about yourself, you know, in these moments over the last

178
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, and how you plan to kind of

179
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 1: evolve moving forward and develop based upon challenges you're facing. Um. Yeah,

180
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 1: I think sports in general are just um, it's a

181
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,959
Speaker 1: learning experience. You know, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose,

182
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 1: and the goal is obviously to have fun and to win. Um.

183
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 1: And that's when you can do both, obviously, it makes

184
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 1: it a lot more enjoyable and um, you know, I

185
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 1: mean it's not to look at the big picture or

186
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 1: anything like that. We're just getting a chance to play

187
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 1: each week. Is really important to know that we have

188
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 1: one game every week. We can't control what happened, you

189
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 1: know two weeks ago. We can't control what happened eight

190
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 1: weeks ago, and we can't control what happens, you know

191
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 1: however many weeks down the line. So I think it's

192
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:30,440
Speaker 1: just to be where your feet are and understand that

193
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 1: we're guaranteed today and that we have to come to work.

194
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 1: I'm ready to go regardless of how things win or

195
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 1: how things might go. And for you, and obviously a

196
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 1: lot of rookies, execution and consistency is always you know,

197
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 1: talked about trying to strive to get there really anybody,

198
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: but for you, I mean, what what have you noticed

199
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,960
Speaker 1: about yourself that kind of you need to evolve in

200
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 1: and kind of to get to the point where you

201
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 1: want to be where you're executing throws the way that

202
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 1: you want on a consistent basis. Yeah, I think it's

203
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 1: just experience and you can really teach that. You just

204
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:05,440
Speaker 1: you know, go through it with time. And sometimes it's

205
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 1: hard because you want everything to be great right away

206
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 1: and all that, but um, you know, you just got

207
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,559
Speaker 1: to keep working on your fundamentals. When you talk about throws,

208
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 1: you know, you got to hit him over and over

209
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,719
Speaker 1: again until you feel comfortable, and you need to get

210
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 1: the ball to the you know, the guys who are

211
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 1: open and um, that comes with preparation, you know, practice, execution,

212
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 1: and then obviously turning that into the game. So thanks, awesome,

213
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:31,439
Speaker 1: Thanks guys,
