00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:34,519
Speaker 3: Enough from Mac today to alleviate any fears you may

9
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:35,199
Speaker 3: have had yesterday.

10
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 4: Or what was the situation, yesterdoor, he's not throwing? Were

11
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 4: just limited with this? Throwing today is always a lot better.

12
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:44,880
Speaker 4: Everything's walked through. So I wondered, pretty good today?

13
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:48,479
Speaker 3: Was that like trace more to the oblique or we

14
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:50,159
Speaker 3: have arm cramps from last game?

15
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 1: It was, I do know what I don't have to tell.

16
00:00:54,720 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 4: So he has to do with his knee slash obleak.

17
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 3: So when will when will you make the determination on Mac?

18
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 3: If he's able to go as a you think in

19
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 3: the next tomorrow is at a a game time.

20
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:15,040
Speaker 4: Pretty much already have, but you you gotta put it

21
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:17,119
Speaker 4: that way if there's any doubt at all, So.

22
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 1: Pretty much already have. So you have very little doubt

23
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,680
Speaker 1: that he'll be a play I mean, he was alreadycorded.

24
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: I don't have to repeat my answer. Oh third time?

25
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 1: Am I going to.

26
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 5: What's the UH plan for a Kurdish war this year?

27
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: He should?

28
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 4: We should open his windows soon. It's getting real close

29
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 4: to uh, probably a few weeks away. I mean it

30
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 4: could be anywhere from next week to a few weeks.

31
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 1: But he's close. He's moving good, and UH, it'll be soon.

32
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 5: Do you expect him to, you know, go to the

33
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 5: practice squad or h How would you kind of place

34
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 5: a a rookie who didn't have spring or training camp

35
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 5: onto the roster.

36
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's a lot. I think.

37
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 4: I mean, I think he'll look good when he's ready

38
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 4: to go in those three weeks. But someone has missed

39
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 4: all of the off season and everything that that would

40
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 4: be tough to call him next man up or any

41
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 4: situation like that. So that's why, you know, he probably

42
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 4: could have gone this week, just especially with us, you know,

43
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:20,679
Speaker 4: being down at quarterback and everything, but we'd like to

44
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 4: wait till he's fully healthy, and we're not gonna put

45
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 4: him up just for that reason.

46
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: So we'll see how it's three weeks go, and if it.

47
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 4: Makes sense on a roster and you can do it,

48
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 4: then we'll do that, and if not, we'll shut him down.

49
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 3: Goods Rams. Obviously, there are a few times where it

50
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 3: looked like Martinez would have to go in do you like,

51
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 3: do you have a idea?

52
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 5: Like?

53
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 3: These are the package your plays, these are the places

54
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,640
Speaker 3: he's comfortable with that if he knows, I mean, can

55
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 3: you plan that far in advance or are you just

56
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 3: kind of not wing it if he has to inser

57
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:52,519
Speaker 3: the game?

58
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean to agree to a degree. This week's

59
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: been nice for him.

60
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,359
Speaker 4: He's got a lot more reps with the ones this week,

61
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,359
Speaker 4: just filming for Mac and stuff, so we've been able

62
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 4: to see him on tape more instead of just running

63
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,239
Speaker 4: cards and things like that. So got a better feeling

64
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:07,919
Speaker 4: this week than I have in the past few weeks.

65
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 4: You always try to keep it as simple as you

66
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,839
Speaker 4: can for guys in that situation. Give him certain things,

67
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 4: tell him things you, he tells you things he's the

68
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 4: most comfortable with, and then you try to isolate on

69
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 4: that stuff. But when you get into a game, it's

70
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 4: it's it's about the situation. So you try to make

71
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 4: it as easy as possible. But you know you you you,

72
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 4: you do what you have to do based off how

73
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 4: the game's going.

74
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 3: Camera panned to you when Mac was grabbing that is

75
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 3: look like his knee or it is, like understand the

76
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 3: why you did not look thrilled?

77
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 5: Can you can you recall what was.

78
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 3: Going through your mind? It may look like Mac obviously

79
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 3: was it gonna be able to feurish that game?

80
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 4: I can't, but I think the camera hands to me

81
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 4: during the game, I'd say ninety five percent of the time,

82
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 4: I don't look that thrilled. Just game time, we're focused

83
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 4: on stuff and I was trying to figure out what

84
00:03:58,400 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 4: happened to him. I'm I didn't see it, so look

85
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 4: down the field, so it looked pretty bad, so don't

86
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 4: have the best feelings at all for sure, And was

87
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 4: waiting to see it on the board and couldn't see

88
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 4: anything bad on the board. And then when he ran

89
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 4: up the field, I felt a lot better and moved

90
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 4: on with my life. So I can't remember exactly I

91
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 4: fell at that moment, but it wasn't good.

92
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: Do you ever have football nightmares that wake up in

93
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: the middle of the night. I?

94
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, who who doesn't? Oh, it's I don't know. I'm

95
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,280
Speaker 4: usually too tired. I fall back asleep pretty fast, but

96
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 4: now I don't have any in particular. It's more about

97
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 4: all the stuff you went over that day, all the

98
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 4: stuff you feel like you are thinking about because you

99
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 4: can't go to sleep, and then all the stuff that

100
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 4: you feel you got to do about four hours later,

101
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 4: and so you just it's like that during the season.

102
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 4: That's why the three days off for nice. You catch

103
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 4: up and see how long can take you.

104
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 5: Katie, you've used used check in a lot of different ways.

105
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 5: What would you say evaluating his whole game? What's his

106
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 5: greatest scale?

107
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,679
Speaker 4: You think, Uh, his greatest is how good a fullback

108
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 4: he is. I mean just how good he is at

109
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 4: moving full speed through traffic and being able to fill

110
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,359
Speaker 4: out space and get to his assignments and get to

111
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 4: the right people.

112
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 1: Just his feeling space and when he gets there, he's got.

113
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 4: The power to block people. He's got the technique. He's

114
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 4: extremely smart, not just because he went to Harvard. It's

115
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 4: actually real. He can handle anything we give him. When

116
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,359
Speaker 4: you play fullback at that level, people have to honor

117
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 4: what a fullback does compared to a third receiver, which

118
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:33,720
Speaker 4: changes personnel, and then when it comes to putting him

119
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 4: in other spots, it doesn't matter really what it is.

120
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 4: He's got as good as hands as anyone I've seen

121
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 4: on the team, and he's not scared of the moment.

122
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 4: He makes big plays and he is fearless full time

123
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,720
Speaker 4: slow receiver if you wanted to be Uh, yeah, definitely,

124
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,280
Speaker 4: And he might not be the best in the league

125
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 4: at it like he is a running back, but he

126
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,159
Speaker 4: definitely can make it as a slow receiver without a doubt.

127
00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 4: Jake giving you the confidence that he can tribute even

128
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:05,839
Speaker 4: when George comes back and takes the line share of reps. Yeah, definitely.

129
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 4: Jake's given us a lot of confidence. I mean him

130
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 4: just coming into this role out of nowhere versus Seattle.

131
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 4: I'm finishing the game that way. And then just each week,

132
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 4: he's been thrown in a lot of situations he hasn't

133
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 4: been in before, and I think he's roast to thecation.

134
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 1: On all of them. Some of the catches you guys

135
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 1: seen him.

136
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:24,599
Speaker 4: Made make how much better I think he's getting in

137
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:26,919
Speaker 4: the run game. Some of the hits he's taken in

138
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 4: a couple of these games where I thought we've lost him.

139
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,799
Speaker 4: It happened early, I think, on the first drive vers Jacksonville,

140
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 4: and then happened later in the game versus the Rams,

141
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,480
Speaker 4: and for him to get back right out there, and

142
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 4: I think only missed a couple of plays, and it

143
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 4: keep going.

144
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:41,360
Speaker 1: I've been really impressed with.

145
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,720
Speaker 4: Jake, and that's why he's learning a role in a

146
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 4: lot of ways.

147
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 1: All Right, thanks guys.

148
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:48,600
Speaker 5: Good
