1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:01,520
Speaker 1: Mac, how we doing this week?

2
00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:05,680
Speaker 2: So I am curious about something we asked you about

3
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:10,119
Speaker 2: last week, the end of game situations, which just at

4
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:13,800
Speaker 2: some point do I mean have to be frustrating, not

5
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 2: just to you, but to the whole team. It's two weeks,

6
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:17,439
Speaker 2: it's two comeback opportunities or at least a chance to

7
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:20,080
Speaker 2: send it to overtime last night, and two losses.

8
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 3: Why I just gotta get better at those and continue

9
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 3: to grow. I think you know, we're twenty yards or

10
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:31,160
Speaker 3: so away from being two and oh. But at the

11
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 3: same time, that's the NFL, so a lot of games.

12
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 3: Ninety percent of the games come down to one score

13
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 3: games the end of the game, So got to be

14
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 3: able to do better in those situations.

15
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 4: You guys, no secret, last two weeks you've had slow

16
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:47,560
Speaker 4: starts coming out of the gate, but something that also

17
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 4: you had a little bit of a case of the

18
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 4: second half of last season. So do you feel like

19
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 4: that is something that comes down to the script that

20
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 4: you're coming out to from your coaches. Execution some come

21
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 4: nation of those things.

22
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's just execution, just simple football for me,

23
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 3: just footwork, timing, all that stuff's important, and then trying

24
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 3: to get it to the right guy. It applies differently

25
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 3: to different guys, but definitely the execution. We go through

26
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 3: the plays and just got to be better.

27
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:18,320
Speaker 1: Mac.

28
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 5: We talked last week about the protection against Philly. You

29
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,399
Speaker 5: were very impressed with the way things sort of went there.

30
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 5: We had some guys coming back, some other guys who

31
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,399
Speaker 5: were out this past week. In general, it seemed like

32
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 5: you were moving your feet a lot. What was your

33
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 5: takeover all on the protection.

34
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 3: I thought those guys did a good job trying to play.

35
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 3: A couple of them play in their first game of

36
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 3: the year, so not easy to go go in there

37
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 3: and not have a lot of time to practice and

38
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,040
Speaker 3: things like that. So I have a lot of respect

39
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 3: for them, and we'll just continue to get better.

40
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 5: What's something that the Dolphins were doing defensively? I'd say

41
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 5: upfront that maybe the Eagles weren't do it. Were you

42
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 5: surprised by anything you saw out there?

43
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 3: No, No, that's pretty much the same.

44
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 2: Okay, So you said, and you said this last week,

45
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 2: you have faith that you guys will start coming through

46
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 2: in these spots. And I know, you know, turnovers and

47
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 2: twenty yards here and a play there. It's year three

48
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 2: and that hasn't happened. You guys are owing to now

49
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 2: we talk about, you know, expecting better play, better results.

50
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 2: David Andrews said, there's no loss of faith in the team.

51
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 2: When can we expect those results?

52
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 3: I guess we'll see. Got to just continue to work.

53
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 3: I think you look at the beginning of the seasons

54
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 3: for lots of teams and it's not as good as

55
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:33,080
Speaker 3: it is at the end. So can't lose faith. Just

56
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 3: got to work every day to get better.

57
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 4: Last week, you said something to us, and I'm paraphrasing here,

58
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 4: but something along the lines of you feel like you

59
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 4: have the answers in this offensive system in the playbook

60
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 4: that you guys are using right now. Did you feel

61
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 4: that way last night? And do you feel that way

62
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 4: about how your offense plans to go forward?

63
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, I think for us it's just the execution.

64
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 3: We know it to do almost all all the time.

65
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 3: It's just going out there and doing it.

66
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 5: Sorry Mac on the interception, Howard, I mean, that's obviously

67
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 5: one of the premier corners in the league. He had

68
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 5: a one on one match up there that was not

69
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,239
Speaker 5: a matchup that you or guys were afraid to sort

70
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 5: of attack. What did you sort of see on that play?

71
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:18,399
Speaker 5: How did it sort of look from your perspective?

72
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, just still one on one. Just wasn't a good throw?

73
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:23,079
Speaker 1: Why?

74
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,519
Speaker 2: Why in your estimation? And maybe this is random, right,

75
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 2: but throws over ten yards down the field last night

76
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 2: was a struggle for you guys.

77
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: Is that an outlier? Is that random? Was it an

78
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:34,639
Speaker 1: off night?

79
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 2: Why the struggle to throw down the field when you

80
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 2: guys had a lot of success and were very accurate

81
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 2: in the short area.

82
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think a lot of things the defense takes away,

83
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 3: so the rush et cetera.

84
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 1: Some more time and maybe you can hit some more

85
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 1: plays down the field.

86
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 3: I don't know if it's die. I think it's just

87
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 3: the coverage and the rush working together. So they had

88
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 3: a good scheme. But yeah, just trying to make those

89
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 3: whatever the play calls for, make the plays. But I mean,

90
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 3: when you look at the would you say seven of them?

91
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: Yeah? I think it was something. I think it was

92
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 1: seven throws over ten yards last night?

93
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, So I mean when you look at them

94
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 3: on film, I mean, we're close, but close isn't good enough.

95
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 4: You said something last night at the podium about some

96
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 4: guys maybe coming in earlier staying later. Is that about

97
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 4: the time that you're seeing from the team spent in

98
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 4: the building up to this point, or just that, Hey

99
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 4: we're zeroing too, it's going to take some extra time here.

100
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 3: Yeah. I think you guys keep talking about how close

101
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 3: it is, so just trying to close the gap on close, right.

102
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 3: So the only way to do that is work harder,

103
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 3: work smarterer, longer, just longer days, whatever you can do

104
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 3: to bring everybody along. And we just have to do that.

105
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,039
Speaker 2: That So when we read between the lines and this

106
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 2: is what we do, Max, so correct us if we're wrong.

107
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 2: But when we read between the lines and I hear

108
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 2: that comment last night, you know it's it's not good enough.

109
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 1: Clearly if a couple of guys are doing.

110
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 2: It, that sounds like an implication of lack of effort somewhere.

111
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 2: That's what we're reading into it. Is that a correct interpretation?

112
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 4: No?

113
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's not. I think the biggest thing

114
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 3: is like, right, I'm talking about being close. So whatever

115
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 3: you're doing, just do more. It's not like a rocket science.

116
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,159
Speaker 3: If you watch thirty minutes of film, watch an hour.

117
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 3: If you lift for forty five minutes, lift for an

118
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 3: hour and a half, like, just whatever you can do.

119
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,159
Speaker 3: So when we're in this situation, you know, for me,

120
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 3: that's how I feel better about everything. You can only

121
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 3: put in so much work, but there's twenty four hours

122
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 3: a day and you have to sleep for eight to

123
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 3: ten of them, so all the other hours need to

124
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 3: be about work.

125
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,479
Speaker 4: You keep talking about execution at the beginning, it sounds

126
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 4: like you guys felt like you were very prepared going

127
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 4: into this Miami game. Is that part of where the

128
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 4: frustration comes from, is, hey, we did this week of

129
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,719
Speaker 4: playing what we said here last week you said, we're

130
00:05:56,760 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 4: already looking at Miami and you seem pretty geared for it.

131
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: Yeah.

132
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely like you put a lot into the game plan,

133
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 3: The coaches put a lot into it. Thought special teams

134
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,480
Speaker 3: did a great job, the defense did great. We all

135
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 3: have a plan, and we got to go out there

136
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 3: and as an offense, just do it a little better

137
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 3: in the beginning of the game, really and then play

138
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 3: like we do to get back in the game.

139
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 2: It was reported a few different places after the game

140
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 2: last night you were in full uniform or you know,

141
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 2: most of your uniform or whatever at your locker, maybe

142
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,840
Speaker 2: fifteen to twenty minutes after the game. What are you

143
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 2: doing in that period of time? Are you are you

144
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 2: kind of reflecting on the game or are you going

145
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 2: back through it? Is it a bit of a cool down?

146
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,719
Speaker 2: Like what what is that process like for you after

147
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 2: last night's game?

148
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:46,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, mostly just reflection, just trying to view where your

149
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 3: feed are. Realize it's a great game we get to play,

150
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 3: but at the same time, you want to win because

151
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 3: it's not as fun when you don't win. So just

152
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 3: trying to just gather my thoughts before I go on

153
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 3: the podium or something like that. Really, just how can

154
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 3: I lead the team throughout the week? Really the next

155
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 3: week is what I'm thinking about. What can I do better?

156
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 3: What can I do better? So it starts with me

157
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 3: as a quarterback, and I know we have a great

158
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 3: group of guys. It's not it's not about that. It's

159
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 3: just you know, a couple unlucky breaks and you know

160
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 3: here or there and we're two and oh so got

161
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 3: to got to just keep pushing.

162
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 5: Mac on the touchdown. There was a play that you

163
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 5: were sort of running on the on the move there

164
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 5: and uh, Hunter kind of broke free off a block.

165
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 5: Was that something that you guys had talked out. Was

166
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 5: that sort of just all improvised? What was the what

167
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 5: was the deal there?

168
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 3: A little bit of both.

169
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 4: It seemed like you're just as complete outsider. It looked

170
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 4: like a last night that you were very comfortable in

171
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 4: some of the up tempo situations. Is that something that

172
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 4: you guys have found as an offense for whatever reason,

173
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 4: that your rhythm is better in that situation? And is

174
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 4: there something that you feel like you're already taking away

175
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 4: from that?

176
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, tempo is good. I think as long as you

177
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 3: can gain yards with it, it's always good. You see it

178
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 3: throughout the league and college and everything. So definitely have

179
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 3: a lot of experience with that. And I enjoy tempo,

180
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 3: and so do the guys on our team. So definitely

181
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 3: something want to, you know, continue to grow in you.

182
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 1: Want more of it?

183
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 3: Yeah?

184
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 2: Sure, Okay, I'm watching the Dolphins last night and they

185
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 2: just look at their personnel. It is explosive. There's explosive plays,

186
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 2: and you guys have struggled with that. I know you're

187
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 2: you're a couple of plays away from it, and maybe

188
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:34,559
Speaker 2: tempo's part of the answer on this. How do you

189
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:36,599
Speaker 2: how do you get more explosive.

190
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 3: Plays, just execute better.

191
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 2: Okay, time now for our quarterback question of the week

192
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 2: for Mac Jones. We asked a similar question here Mac

193
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 2: to Matt's later when he was in here. He's a

194
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 2: guy who's seen pretty much everything.

195
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 1: You know.

196
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 2: He's been to Super Bowls, he's been in big games,

197
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:56,599
Speaker 2: he's been in big spots. He's never been oing to

198
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 2: And since nineteen ninety, I think it's eleven percent of

199
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 2: teams thirty one out of two hundred and seventy have

200
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 2: started oh and two and made the playoffs. I guess

201
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 2: number one had you feel about those numbers? That stat

202
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 2: and number two, how do you overcome it?

203
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 3: Had definitely a lot of football left to play, and

204
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 3: Slater is definitely a good person to lean on. He's

205
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 3: he's seen a lot, been on a lot of good teams,

206
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 3: really just been on really good teams. So just trying

207
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,839
Speaker 3: to learn from him, David, all the older guys, and

208
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 3: for me, just try and think back to even twenty

209
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 3: twenty one when we didn't have a great start and

210
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 3: just kept pushing and that's really all you can do.

211
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:36,719
Speaker 3: So just looking forward to the challenge. Definitely got a

212
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 3: big one this week and just got to go out

213
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,200
Speaker 3: there and focus on us. Really, that's what it starts with.

214
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 2: Its gonna be weird to pack bags for the first

215
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 2: time this year. I guess you did in the preseason,

216
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 2: but not not in the regular season yet.

217
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, we get to go on the road.

218
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 1: Get to go on the road.

219
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 4: Nice quick trip though.

220
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 3: Yeah it's true.

221
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:55,319
Speaker 2: You get the Jets on Sunday, big game for the Patriots.

222
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 2: Mac Jones joins us every week here on Patriots Monday. Mac,
