1
00:00:01,720 --> 00:00:03,920
Speaker 1: Hey Mac, despite the loss, Well, what are your just

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:06,960
Speaker 1: overall thoughts on your first NFL game with the Neola Patriots.

3
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:10,120
Speaker 1: Um yeah, I think we just we can get better.

4
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:12,280
Speaker 1: That's just how we have to look at it. Definitely

5
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:15,960
Speaker 1: wasn't good enough starting with me. Um yeah, so we

6
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 1: just we gotta watch the film and we lost, so

7
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:24,800
Speaker 1: it's not good enough. Hey Mac, can the mac right here? Yeah?

8
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 1: Can you take us through the first drop back? Um?

9
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 1: The it was ruled a sack and I'll fumble that

10
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 1: John U um recover? Just what did you see and

11
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 1: what happened on that play? Um? Yeah, we're just running

12
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:40,159
Speaker 1: a play in the red zone or high red zone. Um.

13
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 1: And I should have just thrown it away. It was

14
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,839
Speaker 1: that simple. But um yeah, just throw it away and

15
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 1: move on to the next down. Hey Mac, Um, I'm

16
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 1: just wondering. Did the Dolphins surprise you at all with

17
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 1: anything they threw at you defensively? Um? No, I just

18
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 1: tried to stick to what I was taught and we

19
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: can do a better job. I can do a better

20
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:07,040
Speaker 1: job just going through my reads and communicating. So I'll

21
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:10,039
Speaker 1: improve on my communication and we'll make sure that we're better.

22
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:15,679
Speaker 1: It wasn't good enough Mac. How you feeling. It seemed

23
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 1: like you took a lot of big shots during the game.

24
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,479
Speaker 1: Not really. I mean I just I feel good, but

25
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 1: my body feels good. But it wasn't good enough, and

26
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 1: we gotta just come back tomorrow and get ready to work.

27
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 1: Like the shots I took someone were my fault. I

28
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: need to get the ball out quicker, and that's part

29
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 1: of football, So you have to expect to get hit.

30
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: And our offensive line play good and they're gonna get better,

31
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 1: and we're gonna work together because it takes all of us.

32
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 1: They're a great group of guys. But I think we

33
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 1: can definitely improve on our communication, and that's what we're

34
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 1: gonna do. After that first play, it seemed like you

35
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 1: really settled into it. Feel that way to you, it's

36
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 1: not really about me. My job is to be the

37
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 1: quarterback and that's to either hand the ball off or

38
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 1: throw it. And I can do a better job and

39
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 1: everyone else. I thought they played hard, but we can

40
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 1: play even harder and we're just gonna go up from here.

41
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,919
Speaker 1: After that first touchdown, your teammates were trying to give

42
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 1: you the ball. Why why wouldn't you take it? Because

43
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,080
Speaker 1: I mean that doesn't really matter. It was, you know,

44
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,239
Speaker 1: one touchdown. We got to score more, but it's not

45
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 1: like the game was over right there. But I mean

46
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: we got to do better in the red zone and

47
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 1: get more touchdowns and we will. Sorry to your right, Macum,

48
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,359
Speaker 1: I know you're so disappointed, But are you able for

49
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 1: a minute to reflect on making your NFL debut as

50
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 1: a rookie and were you able to enjoy any parts

51
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 1: of it? If so? What? Yeah, I mean that's something

52
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:45,239
Speaker 1: Josh told me, just enjoy the day. He'll never play

53
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 1: a rookie year opening game again. But that's not how

54
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 1: I wanted to go. So yeah, hey, Mac, can you

55
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 1: just walk us through the third and eleven? I think

56
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: the completion to James White? How much does that go

57
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 1: back to what you guys did during OTAs and also

58
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 1: training camp. Yeah, James is an awesome guy. He always

59
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 1: knows what to do. And we have a lot of

60
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 1: guys like that on our team, and I need to

61
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 1: get better at knowing what to do so I can

62
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:14,679
Speaker 1: get them in the ball because they're all good playmakers.

63
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 1: And we have a really good offensive line and you know,

64
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: a good play caller, a great play caller, and we

65
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 1: got to execute what he calls quickly, efficiently and perfectly.

66
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 1: Mac after Damien's fumble, we saw you on the sideline

67
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 1: kind of you know, getting in the defense and getting

68
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 1: everyone in the sideline going. Is that something that you're

69
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: comfortable with right away? I mean, is that something that

70
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 1: you've you've over the past month or two developed here?

71
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, being the quarterback, I need to do

72
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 1: a better job demanding better in practice, Like sometimes I

73
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: just let things slide myself included. It's not good enough.

74
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna try and be more vocal. And I

75
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 1: am a vocal person, but it's kind of a new

76
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: situation and I can be better, but it starts with

77
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 1: me defense. I can, you know, try and hype them

78
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: up and stuff, and they played great and we got

79
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: to do better on offense. So we'll do that kill

80
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: And you're right. Have you had a chance to talk

81
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 1: to Damien after his fumble and n IF so what

82
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 1: was your message to him? Yeah? I mean, Damian's obviously

83
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 1: very disappointed, but it doesn't go all in. Damian. There's

84
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 1: a lot of things that I could have done to

85
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 1: do better to not even be in that situation. Take

86
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 1: some bigger chunk plays and um, he played his his

87
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 1: hard out is what it is. He's gonna be better

88
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 1: from it. And you know, I mean, he's a great

89
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 1: dude and he's gonna work hard, um, and that's what

90
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,720
Speaker 1: he does, and that's what we're all gonna do, all right,
