1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,200 Speaker 1: It definitely was a statement for the for the offense, 2 00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:04,240 Speaker 1: and I know for him as well, just come back, 3 00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:06,200 Speaker 1: come back off last week. I know he was motivated 4 00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:08,039 Speaker 1: to get back out there and to have a run 5 00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:10,119 Speaker 1: like that and to finish it in the end zone. 6 00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:12,840 Speaker 1: I think it was great for him. And obviously there's 7 00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:14,120 Speaker 1: a lot of stuff we can correct out there, but 8 00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:16,120 Speaker 1: I think that play was huge. And you talk about 9 00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:17,840 Speaker 1: finishing drops, you were able to finish that drip for 10 00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:21,200 Speaker 1: you're a touchdown one. How important wasn't put these long drives, 11 00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:23,079 Speaker 1: especially when you were getting the turnovers to kind of 12 00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:25,520 Speaker 1: getting the endol at the time. I think it's very important. 13 00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:27,760 Speaker 1: We got to do a better job playing complimentary football 14 00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:30,800 Speaker 1: and turn the defensive turnovers and the touchdowns, not just 15 00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:33,159 Speaker 1: field goals. Obviously, you know field goals are great, but 16 00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:35,479 Speaker 1: it's an offense. We definitely want to score. Um just 17 00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:37,479 Speaker 1: have a lot of stuff we're gonna work on. Definitely 18 00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:39,160 Speaker 1: good to get out with a win. Better to correct 19 00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:40,720 Speaker 1: it with a win than a loss, for sure, so 20 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:43,519 Speaker 1: we just can continue to get better. What was your 21 00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:45,880 Speaker 1: impression of Mac and what were the best things that 22 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,680 Speaker 1: you feel like you did today. I mean, he's gonna 23 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:50,960 Speaker 1: compete for four quarters. Like I said, no matter what's 24 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,360 Speaker 1: going on, good plays, bad plays, he stays motivated. I 25 00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:56,360 Speaker 1: mean it's tough, like I said, being a rookie quarterback, 26 00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:58,600 Speaker 1: there's a lot of things being thrown at you. That's 27 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:00,880 Speaker 1: a tough defense. We played there well, coach, then they're 28 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:02,600 Speaker 1: gonna get after you for four quarters. But I think 29 00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,440 Speaker 1: he stayed locked in mentally throughout the entire game and 30 00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,319 Speaker 1: stay motivating no matter what was going on. James, I mean, 31 00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 1: this is no disrespect to Zack Wilson, who has a 32 00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:12,800 Speaker 1: great future too. But do you feel you know, it 33 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 1: was a battle of rookie quarterbacks, you feel pretty good 34 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,240 Speaker 1: about the rookie quarterback you guys have. We have confidence 35 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:20,960 Speaker 1: in mac Um, like I said, ever since him coming 36 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,600 Speaker 1: in here, working hard, studying, getting better each and every day. See, 37 00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:26,680 Speaker 1: you just build a confidence in him and as a 38 00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:29,560 Speaker 1: confidence in the offense overall. And I said, we're still 39 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,080 Speaker 1: building chemistry obviously, like I said, that wasn't our best 40 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 1: performance out there. Then we left a lot of plays 41 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,600 Speaker 1: out there for all of us. There's things to correct 42 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:38,720 Speaker 1: and said we'll continue to get better. He'll continue to 43 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:40,960 Speaker 1: get better, and like I said, this room for improvement 44 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:42,800 Speaker 1: for all of us. James, will you hear Mac and 45 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:46,880 Speaker 1: the huddle called the double pass? You had there, thought 46 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:51,640 Speaker 1: just better get it to him. That's the only thing 47 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 1: about to make sure nobody's over there so I don't 48 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 1: throw an interception and just get it to him so 49 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 1: he can make the play. And you guys have to 50 00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 1: run from shock on a whole lot to start the game. 51 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 1: Poor boss, weak ins Fiament, you get too right there 52 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:03,960 Speaker 1: against the goal lines for your touchdown. What did you 53 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 1: see from them when you're in the gun, No one 54 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,160 Speaker 1: you're gonna get the handoff at these increase or anything Preseleng. 55 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,080 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, there's man based off the way they were aligned, 56 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,400 Speaker 1: there's a good run. Look office a line did a 57 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 1: great job blocking receivers, and I just want to do 58 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:17,519 Speaker 1: my job, read it out and try and find a 59 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,120 Speaker 1: way into the end zone. Change. They came out pretty 60 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,639 Speaker 1: aggressive in the game, and you were the focal point 61 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,240 Speaker 1: out on the touchdown drive with the throwback and then 62 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:27,400 Speaker 1: finish it off. Do you feel like they really settled 63 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:28,919 Speaker 1: things in for you guys at the time. I think 64 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 1: that drive that food was big for us to actually 65 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 1: drive the ball down the field and actually score. I said, 66 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,080 Speaker 1: we've had the past two weeks, You've had some long drives, 67 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 1: but we haven't actually scored touchdowns. You just got to 68 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,080 Speaker 1: do a better job of finish it in the red zone. 69 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 1: Eliminated some of the penalties as well. So, like I said, 70 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 1: there's a lot of stuff we can improve on, but 71 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 1: we'll continue to get better. And how impress throwing you 72 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 1: with him afoiding the turnovers? Obviously that was the kind 73 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 1: of the difference with the you know, the Jets, you 74 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 1: know on the on the other side today, that defense 75 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 1: is really good at turning the football over. And I said, 76 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 1: I think we have confidence in Macke tries to make 77 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 1: the right decisions and tries not to make bad football plays, 78 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 1: as well as all the rest of us on the offense. 79 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 1: And I said, we have confidence and trusted him. It's tough, 80 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 1: but the rookie quarterbacks, as you know. So I'll tell 81 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:13,520 Speaker 1: it what has mac done over the past two weeks 82 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,519 Speaker 1: just to build you know, your confidence, I said, he's 83 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 1: willing to work each and every day. Um, Like I said, 84 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,679 Speaker 1: quarterbacks probably the toughest position to play out. There's a 85 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 1: lot of stuff being thrown at you. But I said, 86 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 1: he's attacking each and every day trying to get better, 87 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 1: you know, being vocal, and like I said, he's protecting 88 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:30,919 Speaker 1: the football for us as well too, so which is important. 89 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,920 Speaker 1: James obviously a tough year last year, obvious see personally, 90 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 1: um and professionally. But if you juvenated this year, you 91 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 1: see me off a really consistent, steady start again. You 92 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 1: convigorate the offense. Not much going on, catch that twenty 93 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 1: eight yard past, a couple of runs, score a touchdown. 94 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 1: I mean, can you talk about how you feel this year? 95 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 1: I feel good, Like I said, I know last year 96 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 1: wasn't my best year for many different reasons. And I said, 97 00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 1: I'm excited to be back out here, have an opportunity 98 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,120 Speaker 1: to play this game aiming. I said, I want to 99 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 1: do whatever I can to help my team win. And 100 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 1: whether it's getting the ball or not they're just blocking. 101 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 1: I just want to be the best knee out there. 102 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 1: Is a typical this is six Russias, six receptions, five 103 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 1: Russias backwards pass? Is this a typical James White game? 104 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 1: And we'll see as the year comes on. Do you 105 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 1: feel in this offense? Let everybody gets seems the more 106 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:24,480 Speaker 1: we have a lot of different guys that can do 107 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:26,240 Speaker 1: a lot of different things. Like I said, we all 108 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,039 Speaker 1: know we're not going to touch the ball every single play. 109 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,840 Speaker 1: Just gotta capitalize on the opportunity that you get. So 110 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,719 Speaker 1: I said, there's a lot of different weapons. Um. I said, 111 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 1: we still got to do a better job and improve 112 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 1: helping macout, creating more separation, being in the right spots. 113 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 1: It's good communication. There's a lot of things we can 114 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 1: get better at. And James, I know we already asked 115 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 1: about Damian Harris's long touchdown running. Um, Well, because I 116 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,280 Speaker 1: feel the US, I gotta ask you, what was just 117 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 1: your impression. Did you think he was down at any 118 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 1: point when that PieP going? Like? What was just your 119 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 1: processes that kept going? Me personally, I knew he's gonna 120 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 1: find a way to get him the end zone. Like 121 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 1: I said, I know he was extremely mo the baby 122 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 1: to get out there, and for him to have a 123 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 1: run like that where they're ripping at the ball and 124 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 1: him running through tackles, it's just really impressive. Like I said, 125 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:09,240 Speaker 1: if they're gonna go after the ball, the means are 126 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 1: not really focused on tackle league, so just protected him 127 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,480 Speaker 1: run through the tackles. I told you that at eight 128 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 1: when the tackles, Yeah, I believe. What does it tell 129 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,840 Speaker 1: you about back when he has a moment at the 130 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 1: end of that round, or he's down there pushing the pile, 131 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,760 Speaker 1: or he's throwing a block for Kendrick calling around the end. 132 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,159 Speaker 1: What's it? What's it say to you? I mean he's 133 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:32,600 Speaker 1: I said, he's locked in it, does whatever he has 134 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:34,920 Speaker 1: to do to help the team. Who the football score 135 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:36,880 Speaker 1: touchdown is gonna do whatever it takes. So I mean, 136 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,880 Speaker 1: we preferably not have him down there when Damien's in 137 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,480 Speaker 1: the pile of everything, But I say, he's excited to 138 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:43,840 Speaker 1: be out there. Do whatever you can to help the 139 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 1: team off. Next time, yeah, for sure, I'll get that 140 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:47,360 Speaker 1: to
