1
00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:09,079
Speaker 1: Hello forhead Nickermalley Mac. Cold weather game today, saw you

2
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:11,760
Speaker 1: out there, no gloves, any special prep for today, you know,

3
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 1: just sort of getting into the cold weather part of

4
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 1: the season as you get used to New England. Um,

5
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 1: not really. We practice in similar conditions and it'll just

6
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 1: continue to get colder. So UM, I love that we

7
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 1: get to practice outside and then that'll happen a lot

8
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:33,480
Speaker 1: more and it'll be a lot colder. So yeah, Mac,

9
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 1: it seems like there was some red zone issues first half.

10
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 1: Second half. You guys got to go in UM twenty

11
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 1: zero streak there. You just talk about the second half

12
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 1: and kind of what changed for you. Yeah, I think, UM,

13
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:47,519
Speaker 1: just execution in the red zone. The goal is to

14
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,519
Speaker 1: score points, and the best teams in the league are

15
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 1: like seventy percent on touchdowns and we can be better there.

16
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 1: I'm getting up to that number. But at the end

17
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 1: of the day, when you have control of the game

18
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 1: and the goal is just to get points and obviously

19
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 1: we want to score touchdown. So that happened later, I guess,

20
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 1: and it just needs to continue to improve and we've

21
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 1: put a lot of stress on it. So there's nothing

22
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:11,839
Speaker 1: that the coaches aren't doing or anything. It just comes

23
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 1: down to us and executing Mark Daniels in the middle,

24
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,959
Speaker 1: mag you guys had completed several bigger games today. What's

25
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 1: going right with the longer passes? And you know it

26
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 1: seems like you guys are developing And why is that

27
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 1: the case? I think, first things, just offensive line playing

28
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 1: really well and we feel confident in doing that. And

29
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 1: I don't think I got hit today but maybe one time,

30
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 1: and that was a talented defensive front, So props to

31
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 1: them just to allow us to open it up a

32
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 1: little bit. But there's more opportunities to be made. And

33
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 1: like I said, it starts with the front and then

34
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 1: the guy's getting open. They've done a good job of

35
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 1: that all year and it's just getting the ball and

36
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: stride and throwing it to the right guy and we

37
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: just gotta continue to improve on that. I've been reading

38
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 1: that and Mac, can you just talk about the effort

39
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 1: from Jacoby and from Kendrick Born on that touchdown play?

40
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 1: How they both kind of made that happen. Yeah. I

41
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 1: think our receivers play with a lot of passion and

42
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 1: whether they're getting the ball or not, they're doing their

43
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: job and they've got consistently better at that, and I

44
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,239
Speaker 1: can rely on any of them, and we can rely

45
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: on any of them, and you know, you can see

46
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 1: them on the run game stuff, getting getting blocks done,

47
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:25,799
Speaker 1: and not just getting them done, but finishing people off.

48
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 1: And that's really important to the success of the offense.

49
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 1: So it's not just the Hey, when I have the ball,

50
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: look at me, it's the when I don't have the ball,

51
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,119
Speaker 1: see what I'm doing too. So they do a great

52
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 1: job with that. Right on the right, Mac, you took

53
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:41,920
Speaker 1: that hit in the back after you scramble in the

54
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: red zone and you got up on you r. It

55
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 1: seemed like you were really fired up, and it seemed

56
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 1: to fire up your teammates too. Did you feel the

57
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: emotions going stronger after that? You're talking about the one

58
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 1: I ran on and I thought I got the first down.

59
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 1: It's good. I didn't think I got the first own.

60
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: I thought they were going to call it. But I

61
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 1: slid like head first or whatever, So it doesn't count, um,

62
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 1: but it is what it is. I didn't know there

63
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 1: wasn't a flag throne, so that was just a rooky,

64
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 1: freaky error there in front. Hey Mac, this way, take

65
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:20,080
Speaker 1: a right there you go? Uh? Two part or one. Uh,

66
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 1: just a misfire on on the Hunt Henry pass. And second,

67
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:31,359
Speaker 1: how much have has gone into developing the screen screen game? Yeah, um,

68
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: the Hunter play, Yeah, I just didn't throw the right pass. Um,

69
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 1: we were on the same page in terms of what

70
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 1: he was doing and I gotta get him the ball.

71
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 1: I could have pointed it to the guy, so just

72
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 1: get it there somehow, And um, I wish I had

73
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: that back, but I had plenty of time in the

74
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 1: pocket with the line doing a great job. So, um,

75
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 1: that's on me and the screen stuff. Um, that's part

76
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 1: of the game of football and passing. Um, you have

77
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: three different types like short, intermediate or long and then

78
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 1: the screen game. So that's kind of good that we

79
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 1: were developing that and we just have to continue to

80
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: improve in that area. Hey, mac Jacoby just said that

81
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 1: on the deep ball he was clearing out space and

82
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: wasn't really expecting to throw, but then then he got it.

83
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:21,840
Speaker 1: I was curious what you saw on that play. Yeah,

84
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,479
Speaker 1: I mean we talked about it, actually, like Josh and

85
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 1: I talked about it, and yeah, it was just exactly

86
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 1: what we were looking for and a lot of times

87
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 1: in practice, maybe he wouldn't have gotten the ball, but

88
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 1: that time he did and he made a really good catch.

89
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 1: That was one of the better catches I've seen. Just

90
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 1: he couldn't really see the ball and he just turned

91
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 1: back and caught it and had plenty of time with

92
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 1: the line. So that was a great play and hopefully

93
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 1: we can continue to do that more. Hey, Mac, it

94
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 1: was called out there a little bit of snow. Did

95
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,720
Speaker 1: the elements ever bother you at any point? Um? No,

96
00:04:56,440 --> 00:05:00,159
Speaker 1: I think, like I said, the practice helps and that

97
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: was not as bad as it's going to be, obviously,

98
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 1: And it's a mindset thing, and Coach Belichick always tells

99
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:10,160
Speaker 1: us to get what you need on and be prepared

100
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 1: and then don't complain about it because it is what

101
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 1: it is and it's just a mindset. So obviously, like

102
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 1: I said, it'll get worse and we'll continue to figure

103
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 1: it out and work through it. On your left over,

104
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,600
Speaker 1: But hey, do you feel as as a season progresses

105
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 1: that teams are starting to bring some second level pressure

106
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 1: from meaning from the safeties, some delayed stuff to try

107
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 1: and confuse a little bit, because it seems like you've

108
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 1: seen that last couple of weeks. Um, Yeah, I think

109
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 1: teams do what they do, and that's definitely a way

110
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:42,479
Speaker 1: to heat up some quarterback, especially a younger quarterback. So

111
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: I'm sure that's something people watch and make sure we

112
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 1: have it corrected. But um, they're gonna blitz. A lot

113
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 1: of teams do that, so you just have to be

114
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: ready to go and stick to your rules. And you know,

115
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 1: they did a good job for the most part obviously

116
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: picking it up and we just need to continue to

117
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 1: get at that too. Hey mack. Four more takeaways for

118
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:06,840
Speaker 1: the defense today? Was that do for you as an

119
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 1: offense to see how often they can take the ball away?

120
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,600
Speaker 1: That was awesome. I think, Um, they played great and

121
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: they're always getting takeaways, so it's just a matter of

122
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 1: time and once that happens, it just changes the momentum

123
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: the game. Um, And they've done that all year. So

124
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 1: the goal is to not turn the ball over on

125
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 1: offense and do what they did today and get the

126
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,600
Speaker 1: four takeaways and you can see how much they play

127
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:32,159
Speaker 1: together and celebrate and all that, and it's exciting, and um,

128
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 1: we just got to capitalize and make points for them, um,

129
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:36,920
Speaker 1: and not turn the ball back over as well. So

130
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 1: it's kind of a ebbs and flow type thing and Um,

131
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 1: they've done a great job and we have a great defense.

132
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,159
Speaker 1: So it's a lot of fun to have those guys

133
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 1: with this last Mac early on you having problems running

134
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 1: the ball. I'm curious before this game today, was there

135
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 1: a discussion that you might have to go up top

136
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 1: a little bit or did that manifest itself because there

137
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:59,719
Speaker 1: were some problems early on running the football. Um, I

138
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:01,920
Speaker 1: think they try to take it away or whatever, but

139
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:04,160
Speaker 1: we run the ball good and we need to be

140
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,600
Speaker 1: able to do both at all times, throwing, running screens,

141
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 1: whatever we need to do. So it's just Josh has

142
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 1: a great game plan every week and it goes down

143
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: to executing it and you have to be able to

144
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 1: do both. It's not a you can't just pick one.

145
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 1: So thank Mac. All Right, cool, Thanks guys,
