1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,840 Speaker 1: Mac, how are you doing this morning or this afternoon? 2 00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:07,000 Speaker 1: Happy holidays? Thanks, I'm doing good. How about you guys? 3 00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:11,320 Speaker 1: Doing great? Mac? Uh? Gotta ask you what was like 4 00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:15,320 Speaker 1: watching that film this morning when you came into the facility. Yeah, 5 00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:18,239 Speaker 1: I think it's just like every other week. We try 6 00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:21,200 Speaker 1: to learn from it and just see what we can 7 00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:24,800 Speaker 1: do better and then improve the next week. But obviously 8 00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:27,600 Speaker 1: you didn't play and I didn't play the way that 9 00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:30,880 Speaker 1: we wanted, so there's a lot of things improve on, 10 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,760 Speaker 1: and um, you know, all we can do is be 11 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:37,279 Speaker 1: ready for practice and try and make those improvements. So 12 00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:39,560 Speaker 1: I want to ask you, Mack, when when I say 13 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,160 Speaker 1: something dumb on the radio or I write a bad article, 14 00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:44,440 Speaker 1: the last thing I want to do is relive it. 15 00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:46,840 Speaker 1: I just want to bury it and move on. I 16 00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:49,159 Speaker 1: like the the you know. I want to listen to 17 00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:51,159 Speaker 1: my good comments all day, and I just if I 18 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:53,400 Speaker 1: do something bad, I don't want to relive it. How 19 00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:56,920 Speaker 1: do you handle watching film and studying after a loss 20 00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,560 Speaker 1: or some bad plays? Do you want to watch those 21 00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:01,680 Speaker 1: plays the most because you want to learn from them 22 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:03,360 Speaker 1: or do you want to just like watch it once 23 00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:05,800 Speaker 1: and get it past you. How do you handle film 24 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:10,440 Speaker 1: of bad plays and you know, days after a loss. Yeah, 25 00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:13,880 Speaker 1: I think you know, anybody that's a competitor and wants 26 00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:16,560 Speaker 1: it to be, you know, great, But at the same time, 27 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,280 Speaker 1: part of being a big competitors learning from what you 28 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 1: didn't do well. And there's a lot of guys on 29 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,680 Speaker 1: our team that do that really well, and they just 30 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,640 Speaker 1: learned and that's why they've played football, you know, for 31 00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:30,959 Speaker 1: multiple years in the NFL, and that's something that you know, 32 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:32,560 Speaker 1: I want to be able to do, is just learn 33 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 1: from any little thing that I can, even if it 34 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,120 Speaker 1: doesn't have to do with what I did or how 35 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,560 Speaker 1: I could help in any way. And I think everybody 36 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:45,200 Speaker 1: in our room at least understands that. And that's what 37 00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:47,920 Speaker 1: we're trying to do, is just learn and then move on. Obviously, 38 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,280 Speaker 1: at some point you have to shut the book and 39 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 1: get ready for the next week. Mac. I wanted to 40 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 1: ask you specifically about that taunting call that came down 41 00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 1: on David Andrews that offset a foul against a Buffalo. 42 00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 1: Did that you were in the middle of, um did 43 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 1: you happen to talk to David after the ref called 44 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 1: the offsetting thousand? What did you ultimately see in that 45 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 1: situation from your center. Yeah, I mean I think, um, 46 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,520 Speaker 1: I really appreciate him having my back along with the 47 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,520 Speaker 1: offensive line. And at the end of the day, it's 48 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 1: football and you know, we're all going to go out 49 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 1: there and compete and all that, and it was just 50 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,679 Speaker 1: one of those plays and I guess the rest made 51 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,560 Speaker 1: the call and kind of is what it is. But 52 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:31,359 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, we just got to 53 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:33,919 Speaker 1: go out there and execute the plays and try and 54 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,639 Speaker 1: do it between the whistles and all that. But I'm like, 55 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 1: can't you thank them enough for having my back in 56 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 1: every situation. So about those taunting calls us, it's something 57 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 1: that's had a lot of debate around it. We've certainly 58 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 1: engaged in the debate and the media about how these 59 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 1: taunting calls are coming down. Has that been any kind 60 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,640 Speaker 1: of discussion in the locker room, either from the coaches 61 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 1: talking to you all about that or from more veteran 62 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,360 Speaker 1: players saying, you know, this is how how they're calling 63 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 1: it and how you know, we had to compose ourselves 64 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 1: on the field to prevent unnecessary penalties. Yeah, I think, um, 65 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:11,639 Speaker 1: just you know, when they came out with the rule 66 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 1: and stuff, we definitely you know, visited it like we 67 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,400 Speaker 1: do with any rule and made sure that we understood it, 68 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,919 Speaker 1: and they are pretty strict on it, and I mean 69 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:22,920 Speaker 1: they kind of just is what it is and we 70 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,799 Speaker 1: have to try and follow the rules. But sometimes it's 71 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 1: just you know, like I said, it's football, and things 72 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,800 Speaker 1: happen and it might not be as bad as what 73 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,959 Speaker 1: happened on the field or whatever, and but yeah, that's 74 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 1: pretty much all there is to it. Does does David 75 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 1: Andrews get an extra bitcoin for having your back yesterday? 76 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 1: Well you said something about bitcoining, Yeah, And does you 77 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 1: get an extra bitcoin for having your back? Yeah? I 78 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 1: mean I think all those guys, like I said, it's 79 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 1: it was great that they you have my back and stuff, 80 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 1: and we just have to We already talked about it 81 00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 1: and we know what we have to do moving forward 82 00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 1: in those type of situations, so we're all on the 83 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 1: same page. So you faced a very feisty Buffalo Bills 84 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 1: team yesterday, a team that's been together now for four years. 85 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 1: Those guys, especially on defense, Mac, they do a lot 86 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 1: of moving around before the snap. Was that probably the 87 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:18,279 Speaker 1: most complicated defense you guys have faced this year? I mean, 88 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,039 Speaker 1: I think they like you said, they've been together for 89 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,039 Speaker 1: a while, and you know, they kind of do what 90 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,599 Speaker 1: they do. I don't think they did anything that we 91 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 1: weren't expecting or anything like that. But you know, at 92 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,280 Speaker 1: the end of the day, they're really good players over there, 93 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 1: and they're well coached, and they'd have a lot of 94 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 1: banks reps together. So we you know, we definitely didn't 95 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 1: do we didn't control we could control in some areas, 96 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 1: and I didn't do that very well. Just focus on 97 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 1: what I could do. I'm on each play to have 98 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 1: a positive play, and sometimes it's more about just what 99 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 1: you can do as an offense versus what you're doing, 100 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,279 Speaker 1: and so you just try and focus on, you know, 101 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 1: focus on yourself. Speaking of that focus, we just got 102 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 1: the news or it just broke about Jacksonville Jaguars having 103 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 1: a pretty long list of players currently on the COVID list. Obviously, 104 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,479 Speaker 1: it's that time of year. We're all trying to see 105 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:10,920 Speaker 1: our family members in a safe way and celebrate the 106 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 1: holiday season, and there are various illnesses going around. The 107 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 1: Patriots have been hit by it a little bit. Is 108 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,040 Speaker 1: that a source of any anxiety or discussion in the 109 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,239 Speaker 1: locker room or amongst you guys about you know, how 110 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,600 Speaker 1: we keep ourselves most available for these two games in 111 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 1: the end of the season. Yeah. I think we've been 112 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:34,160 Speaker 1: talking about it and just listening to the older guys 113 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 1: in our team, the leaders and you know, coaches and 114 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 1: medical staff. We're trying our best to stay as safe 115 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:44,120 Speaker 1: as possible, and they've given us all the resources we 116 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,840 Speaker 1: need to do that. And I think it is just 117 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,159 Speaker 1: one of those things. I mean, you just have to 118 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,359 Speaker 1: try and be safe, but you got to also just 119 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 1: live your life and understand, you know, what's at stakes. 120 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:56,600 Speaker 1: Like you said towards the end of the year, you 121 00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:58,360 Speaker 1: want to make sure you're really safe, just to make 122 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 1: sure we don't have any of those sure you know, 123 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:05,359 Speaker 1: positive tests. Talking to Mac Jones here on WI Mac, 124 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 1: when was the last time you ran a designed option run? 125 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 1: I mean I've had him a few times in college 126 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 1: and a lot in high school, So nothing nothing new 127 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 1: there that. That was an impressive play. I was a 128 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 1: really nice dialed up calling fourth down and um so 129 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,159 Speaker 1: you had a few option runs they called for you 130 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 1: back at back at Alabama. Yes, they were more so 131 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 1: in practice. We didn't never break them out in the games, 132 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:42,280 Speaker 1: but yeah, we did channeling your Josh Allen yesterday? Right, 133 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,359 Speaker 1: what's it like? I don't know how much of the 134 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 1: game you're watching when when you're on the bench, but 135 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 1: I was pretty blown away by by Josh Allen yesterday 136 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:52,719 Speaker 1: and some of the plays he was making. What's it 137 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:54,919 Speaker 1: like as a quarterback? What do you think of his 138 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 1: performance yesterday? Um? Yeah, I think, you know, for me, 139 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 1: try and just focus on the offense and you know, 140 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 1: watching the last series or looking at the pictures and 141 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,279 Speaker 1: all that. But I think, you know, obviously you played 142 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 1: a really good game, and you did a great job 143 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 1: all game long, and you know, yeah, they had a 144 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 1: better day and they were the better team that day, 145 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 1: and we kind of can't really look back on it now. 146 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 1: We stuck to, you know, keep moving forward, and we 147 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 1: already watched the tape, so we're all, you know, ready 148 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 1: to turn the page. Mac. This is kind of a 149 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,800 Speaker 1: tough question, but I have to ask it. I noticed 150 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 1: your girlfriend Sophie posted a photo on Instagram of you 151 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 1: and your lovely dog and some pajamas that look like 152 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 1: they were personalized off of your dog. Was that a 153 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 1: surprise Christmas gift? Did you know that was coming down 154 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 1: the line? Yeah? My brother's wife just got him for 155 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 1: our whole family. So it was just a Christmas gift 156 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 1: and nothing more than that. You're not wearing those around 157 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 1: the facility, no, but they definitely were comfortable. So mac 158 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 1: Nikkila Harry had a little bit of a tough game yesterday. Um, 159 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 1: you know, he had a drop and then interestingly, you 160 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 1: went right back to him on the next play. Unfortunately 161 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 1: it was an interception. I'm curious, do you say anything 162 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 1: to Nikil after the game or anything about to drop 163 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 1: about you know, you're you're trusting him, and did you 164 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:24,680 Speaker 1: guys make it a point to go back to him 165 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:26,679 Speaker 1: on the next play to try to prove that maybe 166 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:30,240 Speaker 1: you do have some trust in him. M Yeah, I 167 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 1: think that type of stuff happens. I think when you 168 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 1: look at the route and all that, he ran a 169 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:38,000 Speaker 1: great route and he's made that catch a lot of times, 170 00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,560 Speaker 1: and you know, he dropped as far as sports and 171 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 1: I just told him to play the next play, and 172 00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 1: you know, we went back to him in that situation 173 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:48,200 Speaker 1: with who they had in the game and all that. 174 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,360 Speaker 1: So I don't think it was anything we did we 175 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 1: want to do differently. It's just you know, the guy 176 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 1: I tipped it and they made a good play. So 177 00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:00,120 Speaker 1: mkil has been working hard, and um, I think he 178 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,320 Speaker 1: just has to continue to work hard, and he's been 179 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,079 Speaker 1: practicing really hard and doing all the things he can. 180 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,640 Speaker 1: So I don't think it's an effort issue. But he's 181 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,000 Speaker 1: definitely trying to get better, just like all of us are. 182 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,880 Speaker 1: Mac mego mentioned it before. You guys have the Jaguars 183 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,520 Speaker 1: growing up this week. You, of course, are from the 184 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 1: great city of Jacksonville, a place where I once spent 185 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:24,560 Speaker 1: some time. What was your level of Jaguar's fandom while 186 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:29,680 Speaker 1: you were growing up? Um? Yeah, I mean obviously from 187 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:34,559 Speaker 1: Jacksonville and watched the Jags growing up and went to 188 00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:36,840 Speaker 1: games and all that, But I mean I wouldn't say 189 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 1: it was anything crazy. David Garrard, guy, who who is your? Who? 190 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:45,240 Speaker 1: Your favorite players from that era? Um yeah, I mean 191 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 1: I just watched, you know, all football, and obviously being 192 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:52,760 Speaker 1: in Jacksonville, we'd watched the games on Sunday and m 193 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:56,040 Speaker 1: I mean I watched everybody play all the way through, 194 00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,080 Speaker 1: so it was whoever was out there I was watching 195 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,000 Speaker 1: either way. All right, Well, this is the quarterback question 196 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 1: of the week. So Mac, looking at the way that 197 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:08,800 Speaker 1: the last week went with Kendrick Bourne being out with 198 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 1: that illness on the COVID list. Is there any conversation 199 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 1: that you guys have engaged in with coaches about how 200 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:20,840 Speaker 1: you may tackle weeks coming up if players are unavailable 201 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 1: in practice? Does that change anything the way that you approach, 202 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 1: you know, playing those players on game day and how 203 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:31,240 Speaker 1: they might be put into plays and other schemes. Yeah. 204 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:35,920 Speaker 1: I think that's a great question for Josh and fair 205 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 1: enough the Josh question of the week. Yeah, there you go. 206 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:41,240 Speaker 1: You can ask Josh. But I mean, at the end 207 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,600 Speaker 1: of the day, you know those guys if they're ready 208 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:45,240 Speaker 1: to play that. I know they all want to play 209 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:48,200 Speaker 1: and sometimes it's just out of your control. But that's 210 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:51,720 Speaker 1: definitely a coach to its question. All right, Mac, thanks 211 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:54,959 Speaker 1: for joining us today. Good luck with your preparation this 212 00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:57,400 Speaker 1: Sunday against Jacksonville. I'm sure you know how much is 213 00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:59,280 Speaker 1: at stakes, So good luck this week and thanks for 214 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,880 Speaker 1: joining us today. Awesome, thanks to right. Thanks Mac.
