1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,199
Speaker 1: Hi Mac, what do you think over here Chelsea mcdonne

2
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:05,600
Speaker 1: with seven News, What do you think contributed to the

3
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:08,480
Speaker 1: slow start to this game? And how proud are you

4
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:11,000
Speaker 1: of the way that you guys responded despite that slow start?

5
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:15,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think just working through some things. Really didn't

6
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 2: throw any good passes on the first drive, So definitely

7
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 2: a slow start and starts with me. I just got

8
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 2: to watch the tape and clean it up, but definitely

9
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:25,960
Speaker 2: felt like we fought hard. Rookies played really well, the

10
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,480
Speaker 2: offensive line played really well, the skill players played really well.

11
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 2: So definitely let the team down to night. Couldn't couldn't score,

12
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:34,920
Speaker 2: you know, early, and we just fell behind because of me,

13
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:37,160
Speaker 2: and I put it on myself.

14
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 3: Hi Mac. The defense got to the ball a couple

15
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 3: of times late in the game with the possibility of

16
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 3: you know, getting the ball in to go ahead. How

17
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 3: would you sum up those two drives that you just

18
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 3: weren't able to.

19
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:59,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not very Yeah, not good bye me, I mean,

20
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 2: and they gave me the ball twice to win the

21
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,680
Speaker 2: game and I couldn't do it. So I just got

22
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 2: to go back and watch and see what I can

23
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 2: do better. But as a quarterback, that hurts, right, you

24
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:12,119
Speaker 2: get a chance to win the game twice and can't

25
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 2: do it, So just got to learn from it. You

26
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 2: only get so many opportunities in the NFL to do that,

27
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:19,759
Speaker 2: And felt like I definitely let the team down.

28
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 4: Hey mac To, you're right starting with the offensive line,

29
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 4: played down two starters. How do you says how the

30
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 4: protection was and how those guys executed overall today?

31
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 5: Yeah?

32
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 2: Great? I think starting two rookies on the offensive line

33
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 2: is tough, and they played really really good all night.

34
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 2: Didn't really feel the pressure at all against the best

35
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 2: events line in the NFL. So felt like they did

36
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 2: an amazing job. Couldn't thank them enough for the job

37
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 2: they did tonight, and just got to grow and continue on.

38
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 2: And those would be some of the best guys will

39
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 2: go against all year. But in the NFL, everyone's good, right,

40
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 2: so they know that they're working hard. Everybody. You know,

41
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 2: David's doing a great job leading in Trent and some

42
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 2: of the older guys, And really proud of those guys,

43
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 2: And definitely felt like I let them down a little

44
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 2: bit there at the end. Didn't play my best game,

45
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 2: So definitely just got to keep working.

46
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,640
Speaker 4: But then also to be in that two score hole.

47
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 4: What did it say to you about the team the

48
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 4: way you guys responded as that whole.

49
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:17,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, I loved it. I think you know they kept

50
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 2: fighting this play play by play only the scoreboard, and

51
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 2: Coach Belichick did a great job explaining that to us,

52
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 2: just play each play for what it is. And definitely

53
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 2: had too many bad plays versus good plays for me,

54
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 2: and I just got to watch it and see how

55
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 2: I can do better. But everybody around me played a

56
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 2: great game and just got to be better.

57
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 5: Mac. We speak a lot about leadership. You yourself are

58
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 5: hard on yourself. You just talked about it, and you

59
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 5: could have come back in that fourth quarter, but down

60
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,239
Speaker 5: sixteen to nothing, that was the time that looked like

61
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 5: any team could fold. Your team did not. What does

62
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:53,920
Speaker 5: it say about you and your growth here in this

63
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 5: third year and being able to lead your team back

64
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 5: in that way?

65
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the defense obviously played great, special teams

66
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 2: had some good returns and stuff. So honestly, you just

67
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 2: have to watch it and see what I can do better.

68
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 2: From a schematic standpoint, I felt like in the most

69
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 2: critical times I played my worst, So just got to

70
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 2: go back and look and see what I can do better.

71
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 2: It's all you can do is learn. That's that's what

72
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 2: you do as a good quarterback. You you go back

73
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 2: and learn, and when when it's the hardest, that's when

74
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 2: you need to play your best. So I definitely can

75
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 2: do it. I know I can do it. I've done

76
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 2: it before. Just got to be better and definitely came

77
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 2: back and had a chance to win the game a

78
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 2: few times. So just felt like I let the defense

79
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 2: down and I'll have to live with that.

80
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 6: Mac The offense stagnant to start, and then you had

81
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 6: that that run there, the touchdown drives in the second quarter.

82
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 6: It added more of a vertical element to the to

83
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 6: the offense at that point. What really settled you guys

84
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 6: in and made you comfortable at that point?

85
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think coach O'Brien just doing this thing calling

86
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 2: the game how he knows how to call it. You

87
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 2: did a great job preparing us all week. We knew

88
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 2: what we were getting. It was just you know, slow

89
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 2: start kind of first came, but definitely wanted to have

90
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 2: a better start and felt like we did some good

91
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 2: things but it wasn't consistent enough. But definitely just him

92
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 2: just keeping calm, just talking through with the offensive line

93
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 2: and us and the quarterbacks, and everybody felt like we

94
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 2: had a good plan kind of like it declared, the

95
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 2: game declared, we knew what they were kind of doing.

96
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 2: So come up with some plays that we liked and

97
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 2: just need to execute a little better and those critical points.

98
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,599
Speaker 7: Matt, you're being hard on yourself a question though, in

99
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 7: terms of things that you don't like what you did. Yeah,

100
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,359
Speaker 7: was it a decision making standpoint that you didn't like

101
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 7: or just physical ability something you didn't do physically In

102
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 7: terms of not making the play, I.

103
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 2: Have to go look, I felt like there was definitely

104
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 2: a couple of times when I probably didn't throw it

105
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 2: to the right guy. Just have to watch the film,

106
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,040
Speaker 2: you know. Sometimes when you're out there it's going fast.

107
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 2: Just trying to stay neutral and don't go up and down,

108
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 2: which I try not to do tonight. But yeah, I

109
00:04:57,800 --> 00:04:59,839
Speaker 2: just got to watch it from a schematic standpoint. But

110
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 2: I do think I have the ability to make all

111
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,280
Speaker 2: the throws. It's not that it's just doing it at

112
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,039
Speaker 2: the right time. And like you said, just trying to

113
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 2: watch the film and make it work.

114
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,799
Speaker 8: Hey, Mac, how would you describe your relationship your chemistry

115
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 8: are confident in Kendrick obviously big target tonight. I had

116
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 8: the misque early on where it seemed like the past

117
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 8: went off his hands, but no hesitation to keep going

118
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,840
Speaker 8: back to him. How confident are you and Kendrick to

119
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 8: bounce back from that sort of stuff and when the

120
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 8: game is in an important situation that he's gonna make

121
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:33,480
Speaker 8: the play.

122
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, Kb's one of my closest friends, and

123
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 2: I know that he's gonna run as hard as he

124
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 2: can on every play and fight for the ball. And

125
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:44,160
Speaker 2: our receivers have been doing that very well. That one

126
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 2: I threw too high in the rain, it is gonna

127
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 2: that's gonna happen. It's a bad throw, but yeah, he

128
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 2: kept fighting, And I know that about KB. We've kind

129
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,279
Speaker 2: of been in these situations far too often or behind,

130
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 2: and I know that's my go to guy, and the

131
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,599
Speaker 2: other guys too. They're all open at some point in

132
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 2: the game and we just have to hit him and

133
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 2: sometimes we did and the line gave us a great

134
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 2: time all night, so that was never an issue.

135
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 3: Mac.

136
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 6: What was your reaction to watching Jabrill lay that head

137
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 6: on Jalen and getting the ball back for you guys,

138
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 6: another chance to go to go.

139
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was a great play. Pep, he's the man.

140
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 2: He told me to go win it, and we couldn't

141
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 2: do it, so that hurts me. But they gave me

142
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 2: the ball back to win it multiple times. And Pep

143
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 2: always brings that energy to practice and it feeds feeds

144
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 2: through the team, and he's going to continue to make

145
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 2: those plays. And we talked in the locker room and

146
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 2: I feel like we're on the same page. Just got

147
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:37,359
Speaker 2: to do better on my part. You know, when the

148
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 2: defense holds the best offense, you know, did that few

149
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 2: points and gets the ball back, just got to be better.

150
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:46,600
Speaker 9: Macfield saying, like in the NFL, you have to learn

151
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 9: how not to lose. You guys played well on offense ay,

152
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 9: but there were just a couple of mistakes kind of

153
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,280
Speaker 9: sprinkled throughout the game. Is it getting frustrating kind of

154
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:55,160
Speaker 9: learning these lessons and losses?

155
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 2: I guess, I really, I think. I mean it's hard, right,

156
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:00,919
Speaker 2: you're trying to win every game, but you have to learn.

157
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,279
Speaker 2: If you don't learn, you'll never never end up winning.

158
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 2: So I do think that losing is not fun, never

159
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 2: has been, never will be. But just trying to move

160
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 2: forward and you know, if we scored a few more

161
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 2: points on offense and I'd be a different story. So

162
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 2: we're not far off. It's just trying to just, you know,

163
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 2: do better find a question.

164
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 8: Man.

165
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 9: It seems like the offense started gaining momentum when you

166
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 9: were using bunch and stack formations to create some miscommunication.

167
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 6: Why was that something you thought would be an advantage

168
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 6: heading into this matchup.

169
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a great question. I think really with with

170
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 2: the defense and and all the coverages that they play,

171
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 2: felt like we needed to do that and spread out

172
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 2: the formations and then also bring them in tight. So

173
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 2: I'm not really picky about it. I just want, you know,

174
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 2: the play to come in fast, which it did, and

175
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 2: then get up there and execute. So I felt like

176
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 2: our tempo was good. When we use the tempo plays,

177
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 2: you got to make make the tempo plays work or

178
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 2: else there's no point in running the tempo plays. So

179
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 2: we have a few out of bunch with if you

180
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 2: had of stacks and stuff like that. But yeah, that's

181
00:07:57,880 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 2: a really good question.

182
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 1: Hi Mac, what just can you speak to what you've

183
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 1: seen from Henter Henry and what your relationship was like

184
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 1: with him.

185
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, Hunter's awesome, Him Mike Pharaoh, everybody, Matt Sokle, They

186
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 2: have a great room over there. I'm really really proud

187
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 2: of those guys in the way they had a good

188
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 2: camp and carried it over to the game. But yeah,

189
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 2: he's definitely great teammate, just always positive, and I'm just

190
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 2: disappointed that I let him down. Couldn't we couldn't score

191
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 2: that at the end. But yeah, we're gonna keep working.

192
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 2: Hunters real positive, Mike's real positive. They played a lot

193
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 2: of football in this league and I can definitely lean

194
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:38,200
Speaker 2: on them as some of the veteran leaders. Cool. Thanks,
