1
00:00:01,400 --> 00:00:05,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely frustrating. But I just have to watch watch

2
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:07,400
Speaker 1: it all and learn and watch it with truth flies

3
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:10,400
Speaker 1: that's all you can do. And just wasn't clean enough

4
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:13,600
Speaker 1: across the board and there's you know, penalties and all

5
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 1: sorts of things we need to clean up. So it's hard,

6
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 1: hard to win like that, and I'm definitely frustrated for sure.

7
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:23,759
Speaker 2: Mac. How would you describe the team morale right now?

8
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously we just lost, so it's not good.

9
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:29,319
Speaker 1: But I think we have a really good group of

10
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 1: guys and if we choose to respond the right way,

11
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:34,240
Speaker 1: then it'll be really good. But if we don't, then

12
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:36,279
Speaker 1: it'll it'll go the other way. So I know I'm

13
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 1: gonna be positive always. That's my goal. Try to try

14
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 1: to work hard like I've been doing and bring people

15
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:44,159
Speaker 1: with me. And I know we've been saying that and

16
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 1: the results haven't been there, so I mean, I guess

17
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 1: maybe look at the process and see what we need

18
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 1: to change to get better because the results aren't there.

19
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 3: Mac, how'd you feel about the pace that you guys

20
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 3: worked with on the score and drive or reminder? I

21
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 3: ended up going in for the touchdown end up being

22
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 3: almost a ten minute drive. Were you guys operating fast

23
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 3: enough in your opinion there?

24
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:10,680
Speaker 1: Honestly, I just try to just get the call and

25
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,400
Speaker 1: call it in the huddle, and you know, the coaches

26
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 1: do a good job of managing all that stuff. So

27
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 1: I did want to push the tempo obviously a little

28
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:19,680
Speaker 1: bit more and just the operation and everything, but we

29
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,639
Speaker 1: were subbing a lot, and that's part of putting pressure

30
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 1: on the defense, is playing fast and getting in and

31
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:27,480
Speaker 1: out of the huddle to put the pressure on the defense.

32
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 2: Mac you had mentioned during the week that you know,

33
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 2: it's only human, it's natural. So as little self doubt

34
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 2: can creep in at this point, how confident are you

35
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 2: that you are the right person for the job in

36
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 2: terms of quarterback of this team and can turn this

37
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 2: team around, help turn this team around.

38
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm confident. I think it comes from years of

39
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 1: experience and earning respect from people, and I think I've

40
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 1: done that. But once again, I'm trying to win every

41
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 1: game that I play on playing, and I'm not doing it.

42
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 1: So I just really want to focus on how can

43
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 1: I bring these guys with me, how can we clean

44
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 1: up the little things? And it takes all eleven and

45
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 1: that's important and to be the leader of that eleven

46
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 1: is a lot of stress. But that's why I play

47
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: this game, and I really want to win. I'm doing

48
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: a lot of things to do that during the week,

49
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,079
Speaker 1: but for whatever reason, it's just not happening on Sunday.

50
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 2: Mac, I know you haven't watched the game yet.

51
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 3: Back, but the deep ball down the sideline to DeVante

52
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 3: at the end there, when you guys were backed up

53
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 3: in your own end, you have a chance to talk

54
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:20,399
Speaker 3: to him after.

55
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 2: I mean, you put the ball in a pretty good

56
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 2: spot for him to make the catch.

57
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, DP is a great deep ball thread

58
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: and you know we kind of agreed that we wanted

59
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 1: that route. So just tough, tough play. I mean, if

60
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: it goes one way and we might, you know, go

61
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 1: down there and win. If it goes the other way,

62
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: we didn't, So it's just tough. It's football. But at

63
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 1: the end of the day, I have a lot of

64
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 1: trust in the receivers and I felt like their energy

65
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 1: this week was really good, and they've been very confident.

66
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 1: You know, they can get open and catch the ball,

67
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:47,839
Speaker 1: and they've shown that at times.

68
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 4: For sure, Mac, you said during the week that you

69
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 4: wanted to bring that energy and you wanted to kind

70
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,679
Speaker 4: of get them going. It seemed like during the game

71
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 4: you were up and down the sideline, you know, with

72
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 4: your offensive line, guys coming off field encouraging. Yeah. Just

73
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 4: how much would you like to have had that Hunter

74
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 4: Henry throw that that interception back?

75
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 1: Yeah? I definitely think the communication is important. Interceptions are

76
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 1: part of the game, and I didn't make a good throw,

77
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 1: so just trying to do too much and I mean

78
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 1: they got three points from it or whatever, and you

79
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 1: know that sets on me. So I do think the

80
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 1: communication was really good and we have to continue to

81
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: build on that throughout, you know, these next games and

82
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 1: all that, because if you're not communicating, there's no way

83
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 1: you have a chance. So we got that part kind

84
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 1: of fixed.

85
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 4: Mac.

86
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 2: Do you feel like it's the same mistakes that are

87
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 2: really keeping the offense from getting rolling week after week?

88
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean what what do you mean.

89
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 2: Whether it's penalties, turnovers.

90
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think yeah. I think like for us, like

91
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 1: we work so hard and and all that stuff, and

92
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 1: we've we've put an emphasis on it and and those

93
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 1: are part of the game. But at the same time,

94
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 1: you know, I like to put them in different buckets

95
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: like was it forced? Was it a force penalty? Where

96
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 1: like you know, you were given effort or whatever, and

97
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: they just called it is what it is. But the

98
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 1: unforced ones are the ones that you want to take away,

99
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 1: and we have too many of those penalties, turnovers, all

100
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: that stuff. So I definitely need to improve, but got

101
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: to keep swinging. You know, if you don't swing, you're

102
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,719
Speaker 1: not gonna get any hits. So definitely gonna keep swinging.

103
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 3: Last question over Mac, there's a lot of talk about

104
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 3: starting over leading into this game for you guys, was

105
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 3: part of that process sort of trying to identify what

106
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 3: your identity is offensively? Do you think you know your

107
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:33,840
Speaker 3: team knows what its identity offensively is.

108
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's always a thing that you want to establish

109
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 1: in the off season and then we've talked about it,

110
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,599
Speaker 1: but it's just been been not good. And then starts

111
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 1: with me as the quarterback, and you know, as as

112
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 1: a football team, you want to be aggressive, you want

113
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: to be able to run the ball and all that stuff,

114
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 1: and we take a lot of pride in that and

115
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 1: we just haven't been able to do it as well

116
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 1: as we want. So, like I said, definitely gonna look

117
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 1: at the process and see, you know, where I can

118
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,600
Speaker 1: get better to get better results. I know we're all

119
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: working really hard, we all really care for each other,

120
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 1: and we have a good group of guys, so I

121
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: know it's frustrating for everybody, and we're the most frustrated

122
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 1: there can be. So you know, just got to watch

123
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: the film with truthful eyes. That's what I always say.

124
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 1: All right, thanks,
