1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,360
Speaker 1: What's going on, Mack, Good, how are y'all were here?

2
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:05,640
Speaker 2: Defense is saying a lot of good things about what

3
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 2: you guys are doing on a daily basis. How it's

4
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:10,399
Speaker 2: a variety and you seem to come out and learn

5
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:12,360
Speaker 2: and then come out and do better the next You

6
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:15,200
Speaker 2: see that process growing as you go day by day here.

7
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:17,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think the biggest thing that you said it's

8
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:20,280
Speaker 1: it's a great defense and they do a lot of stuff,

9
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:22,200
Speaker 1: so it allows us to try and do a lot

10
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:24,960
Speaker 1: of stuff. So just trying to figure everything out and

11
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 1: every day you know, we're gonna go back and forth,

12
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 1: which is a good thing, right, That's what makes really

13
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 1: good teams. But their top top defense in the NFL,

14
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:34,479
Speaker 1: So it's a great way to prepare. We had great players,

15
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 1: great coaches, you know, Coach Belichick obviously it's his system,

16
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 1: but Steven coach Mayo do a great job. So it's

17
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 1: just it's really hard to go against every day. It's

18
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:45,199
Speaker 1: sometimes trading, but at the same time, you got to

19
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:47,839
Speaker 1: go out there and compete and have fun and whoever

20
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 1: you're with out there. Our job as an offense is

21
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:51,319
Speaker 1: to go out there and have the same mindset. It's

22
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:52,160
Speaker 1: to compete and win.

23
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 3: You seem like you're having fun.

24
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 2: You know, we see the celebrations that getting the crowd

25
00:00:56,120 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 2: going the gritty, how much the money you have out there,

26
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 2: the trash talk and everything else.

27
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: I think it's fun. I think that's one of the

28
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,479
Speaker 1: things this offseason I put a lot of thought into,

29
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 1: is just enjoying the game and especially practice. Right, it's practice.

30
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 1: You sorry, we got a screamer, but yeah, I think

31
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 1: it's just it's good to that fun. But at the

32
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,040
Speaker 1: end of the day, we're out here working. Putting in

33
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 1: the work is the most important part. But we got

34
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 1: to just have that juice every day. I feel like,

35
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 1: you know, it comes from the leader and the leaders

36
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 1: of the team, So you just have to go out

37
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 1: there and have fun.

38
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 4: The storyline of a position battle with Bailey, is that

39
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 4: an all distracting for you?

40
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: Locked in on the season? Yeah, I think every year

41
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 1: you have to have the mindset that you're competing not

42
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 1: only against yourself, you're competing against the teams you're about

43
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 1: to play, which is really important for me. And understanding

44
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,040
Speaker 1: that it's the NFL and every week you're gonna go

45
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 1: against a great quarterback. So that's my biggest concern, and

46
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 1: just trying to lead the team every day and bring

47
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 1: everybody along. You know, I've been fortunate to, you know,

48
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: be in a lot of quarterback rooms that are really good.

49
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: So just trying to learn from everybody. Obviously learn from

50
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 1: coach O'Brien and Evan and Coach Belichick. And at the

51
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 1: end of the day, it's all about improving each day.

52
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 1: And when you go out there on Sunday, you want

53
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 1: your guys to be confident in you, and that's what

54
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 1: I'm trying to instill in them right now.

55
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 3: Juju, yesterday, explain some of the progress that you've shown

56
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 3: this week. Is okay, last week we installed these plays.

57
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 3: Now we're reviewing and kind of reuting them. Anything else

58
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 3: you could attribute, you know, that progress to the last

59
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:21,079
Speaker 3: three practices.

60
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think Juju has done a great job being

61
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,800
Speaker 1: a great leader already on our team. I like to

62
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 1: talk about the older guys a lot because they've seen

63
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:30,639
Speaker 1: a lot of football, so they know how an installation

64
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:32,920
Speaker 1: is supposed to look. You put the play in, you

65
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,959
Speaker 1: watch it on film, maybe it's another team or something

66
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: in the past or something from college, and you got

67
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 1: to go out there and execute it. So I think

68
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 1: that's just football one oh one. It's it's learning in

69
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:44,799
Speaker 1: the classroom and then trying to apply it on the field.

70
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 1: And every day the goal is to just be a

71
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: little bit better and not make the same mistake twice. Yeah,

72
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: Mario Douglas so far. Yeah, Pop Shota, that's my guy.

73
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna call him Pop Shota. So anyways, he's a

74
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 1: great kid, works really hard. I think a lot of

75
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 1: the young receivers are are really learning from the older guys,

76
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 1: which is something that I think is really cool. DP

77
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 1: and Juju and KB and Hunter and Mike and everybody.

78
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:10,640
Speaker 1: So they're they're kind of looking up to these guys

79
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: and learning the right way because those guys are, you know,

80
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 1: really good, world class players. So I think that's the

81
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 1: biggest thing. Pop just needs to keep working, you know,

82
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,359
Speaker 1: just keep his head down and work, don't listen to

83
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: any of the noise, good or bad, and he'll he'll

84
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: just keep doing his thing. Yeah, he's pretty fast, I remember, like,

85
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 1: so he's actually from my hometown. Uh so that he's

86
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: kind of a legend down in Jacksonville. But uh, he

87
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: was very good in seven on seven because you know,

88
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: he showed that quickness so often and he's always got

89
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: the separation, but he just has to realize that it's

90
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: you know, it's the NFL, and you gotta do it

91
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 1: every day and he's gonna try his best to do that.

92
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: So I'm I'm proud of him, but he's also you know,

93
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 1: it's early. We got to keep working.

94
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 4: Told me that you were a part of the reason

95
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 4: why he decided to come here. And I saw a photo,

96
00:03:55,560 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 4: you know, circulating, Yeah, and I saw a photo going

97
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 4: around of you meeting with Zeke maybe for dinner or

98
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 4: meal when he came in to visit. What's it like

99
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 4: for you to be a big part of their free

100
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 4: agency pitch here?

101
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's it's really important just to as

102
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: you know, as a leader, just try and go out

103
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: there and show them that we're all here to be

104
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,839
Speaker 1: together and to win. And they've done that here for

105
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,479
Speaker 1: forever and we're trying to get back to that more consistently.

106
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:24,479
Speaker 1: And I think the guys that we have on our

107
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 1: team are are doing a really good job. And I

108
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 1: think whenever, you know, I have a chance to kind

109
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: of explain and and try and get them on the team,

110
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:32,839
Speaker 1: it's it's a good thing. So it's it's never a

111
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:34,919
Speaker 1: bad thing, right. You want to have as much you know,

112
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 1: great players as you can, and just been really pleased

113
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 1: with the guys we have in the room because it's

114
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 1: plenty enough and we just got to come together and

115
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 1: make it work.

116
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,280
Speaker 2: Guys, we'll talk about getting the details down, lining up

117
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 2: with minimizing mental errors and things like that.

118
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 5: I'm just curious how you feel about the ofference just

119
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:50,599
Speaker 5: from that fundamental standpoint.

120
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you know you're talking about the operation right,

121
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 1: just you know the basics of football, and I think

122
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 1: it's important. I think there's still things you need to

123
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: work on, but I do think that the the rules

124
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,039
Speaker 1: and standards have been set, so we just have to

125
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 1: meet that as players. I think the coaches have done

126
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 1: a great job. Ob lays out you know, the operation times,

127
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:10,160
Speaker 1: what we're trying to get out of a play, all

128
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: that stuff, the why behind a play. So he definitely

129
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: lays it all out there, and we just got to

130
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: go out there and try and just each day clean

131
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: it up and then also get a little bit faster too, Right,

132
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 1: you want to play fast, you want to be you know,

133
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 1: precise and all that as well.

134
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 4: Do you feel like they're playing faster.

135
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: What do you say, do you feel like you're playing faster?

136
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 2: Yeah?

137
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's practice, right, so it's not really

138
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 1: a real game or anything. But I do think that,

139
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 1: you know, this system allows the quarterback, you know, puts

140
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 1: a lot on their plate, but it also allows us

141
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 1: to when you know what to do, to play really fast.

142
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: So I think it's a great system.

143
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 5: Just to follow up on Henry's question about maybe making

144
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 5: a pitch to some of these guys that have choices

145
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 5: to make.

146
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 3: Free agency, what would your pitch be to have somebody

147
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:48,279
Speaker 3: come and join this team?

148
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you know. I always say like we

149
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,599
Speaker 1: have a great group of guys already, so coming together

150
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: as an offense is really important for us and anybody

151
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 1: that we can talk to and if they have questions,

152
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:00,159
Speaker 1: answer the questions, right, That's all you can do, the

153
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,919
Speaker 1: player just try and explain everything to them and the

154
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 1: rest is not up to us, right. But like I said,

155
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 1: I'm happy with the guys we have in the room,

156
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 1: so it's it is hard to answer these questions, you know,

157
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 1: because I really do think we have enough and I

158
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 1: think we have plenty enough and offensive line looks really good.

159
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: Right now, the skilled players are doing great, and like

160
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: I said, the older guys are really setting the standard.

161
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 1: Uh it's still early, but they just need to continue

162
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 1: to do that because I have a lot of trust

163
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 1: in those guys, and then it goes down to the

164
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 1: younger guys as well.

165
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 5: There were three periods today where you were up there

166
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 5: against way probably some of the backup receivers. Yeah, it

167
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 5: seemed like they were trying to make it more difficult

168
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 5: on You just want what's what's the coaching point, you know,

169
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:36,920
Speaker 5: point like that.

170
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,720
Speaker 1: Oh, I think it's great. I think I actually had

171
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 1: to do that a lot of Alabama. I was on

172
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 1: the scout team and we would go against eleven NFL starters.

173
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: So nothing new there. I think the important thing is

174
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 1: to accept the challenge. He's trying to make it hard

175
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,840
Speaker 1: on us, and that's that's a good thing, right, So

176
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,159
Speaker 1: when you get to the game, it's it's it's always

177
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 1: harder whether it's a wet ball or the clock is

178
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 1: running down fast, and regardless of who's in there. I

179
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: think those guys did a great job today, and I

180
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:03,479
Speaker 1: try to tell them to go out there and play

181
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,480
Speaker 1: and have fun because it doesn't really matter where you

182
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,840
Speaker 1: are on the depth chart, right, It really doesn't. I

183
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 1: think everything's important to go out there and play and

184
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 1: line up, execute your assignment, and then from there just

185
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 1: be free and go play.

186
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 4: A moment this offseason where it hits you, You're like,

187
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 4: I got to get back to having fun. When did

188
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 4: that happen? How did that manifest itself for you? That

189
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 4: that became a thought in your mind this offseason?

190
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you know, it always stems from winning, right,

191
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 1: and to win you have to do a lot of

192
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 1: really good things consistently all the time. I feel like

193
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 1: I need to do that better and just try and

194
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 1: lead the team, you know, more so from the mental

195
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 1: side and all that stuff. Obviously the plays and the

196
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 1: physical stuff is there. Like I just have to go

197
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 1: out there and try and lead and and really, for me,

198
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 1: I've always kind of been, you know, a fun person

199
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 1: in my opinion. Hopefully people will agree, but like that's

200
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 1: that's why people like to play with me, you know,

201
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 1: because we like to go out there and have fun

202
00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 1: and compete. So I just have to be consistent there.

203
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 1: I feel like sometimes if I'm not consistent, you can tell,

204
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 1: and that's something that I'm trying to work on, So

205
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 1: just trying to stay the course but at the same

206
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 1: time have fun and then when bad things happen, just

207
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 1: accept it and kind of move on mad at me,

208
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 1: But Julian.

209
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 3: Was out there.

210
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 1: Oh yes, though.

211
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 2: What's it like to have a patriot the next patriot

212
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 2: back here, to have a voice to hear?
