1
00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:07,040
Speaker 1: Hello, how's it going. How are you good? Let's see that?

2
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:13,040
Speaker 1: Have I seen that? Actually? Yeah? Um, that's all one

3
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:16,600
Speaker 1: in the stands. That was funny. But I don't know.

4
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 1: I guess it's just something that everyone's doing. But yeah, yeah, Mac.

5
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:25,799
Speaker 1: How would you say your progression has been over the

6
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 1: first two games as you prepare for your your third games? Um,

7
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 1: what do you mean like progression? Yeah? Um, yeah, I

8
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:41,839
Speaker 1: don't know about nerves. I said that earlier. Just obviously

9
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,840
Speaker 1: you're gonna be nervous. And as you do something, what where,

10
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 1: whatever you're doing, you know, whatever job you have, whether

11
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:50,559
Speaker 1: it's a football player or not, as you do things more,

12
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 1: you get more comfortable. It's just how life works, UM.

13
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 1: And you try to put yourself in a position to

14
00:00:56,400 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 1: be super comfortable early on. UM. And obviously NFL quarterbacking

15
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 1: is hard, UM, and you just got to find ways

16
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 1: to get better each week. And I think the guys

17
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 1: around me have done that. I think there's positive energy

18
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 1: at practice, which is something that we were trying to

19
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: work on, UM. And obviously executing the plays and fixing

20
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 1: some of the things we wanted to fix from the game,

21
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:22,680
Speaker 1: and we did that today. UM. Definitely just had the

22
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 1: right energy. I feel like obviously some of the plays

23
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,400
Speaker 1: or throws, I get it, I'm better, but um, we

24
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 1: were moving in the right direction. Is part at the

25
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 1: same time to make sure that yeah, um, yeah, I

26
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 1: think obviously you want to score touchdowns and UM, you

27
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 1: can't be too conservative or too not. Um. You kind

28
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: of just have to do what you do and read

29
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: your reads, um, and the points will come. But at

30
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: the same time, sometimes you have to know when to

31
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 1: call it quits on a play, like you know, maybe hey,

32
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,919
Speaker 1: this isn't this doesn't feel right, or something went wrong,

33
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 1: so you kind of just have to know when to

34
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 1: call it quits and throw it away and move on

35
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 1: to the next play. And sometimes the next play is

36
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: a kick, so you just have to accept that. And um,

37
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 1: it's hard when you're really competitive and um you want

38
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 1: to keep the play alive or you want to hold

39
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 1: the ball or whatever the situation may be. Um, But

40
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,239
Speaker 1: at the same time, you kind of have a clock

41
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 1: in your head of when things are supposed to happen.

42
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:30,239
Speaker 1: So and I'm interually having positive energy at practice. What

43
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 1: is that compared to Yeah, I mean I think just like, yeah,

44
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 1: I guess that's an interesting word to put with energy,

45
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:43,239
Speaker 1: but definitely just like real positive energy that you're not

46
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 1: just out there like, oh, let's go get you know,

47
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,640
Speaker 1: it's actually like we're having fun out there um and

48
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: running plays together. We're not just running plays, but we

49
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:55,119
Speaker 1: know why we're running those plays. We're trying to get

50
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: every detail right so that everyone all eleven are doing

51
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 1: their job and starts with me calling the play correctly,

52
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,959
Speaker 1: getting to the line running it, and that makes it

53
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 1: fun when we complete it or we have a big

54
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 1: run or whatever it may be, and the play works

55
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 1: how you talked about the play in meetings. So that's

56
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 1: always been the best part about football, is like when

57
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: you talk about something or you put something in and

58
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,360
Speaker 1: then it kind of goes with what you thought, or

59
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 1: it goes how you thought it was gonna go, and

60
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: you got the right look or whatever and you hit

61
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 1: it or whatever. And that's kind of like the the

62
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: great energy that you get from, you know, calling plays

63
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 1: or running plays. Really mentioned the idea within the clock

64
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 1: in your head. You can't are you still only you know,

65
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: two games into your career, still sort of testing the

66
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 1: limits a little bit in terms of you know, when

67
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: you can try and make a play seas and throw

68
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 1: in and when the right thing is to just sort

69
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 1: of make um, yeah, I think it's just trial and error. Um,

70
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 1: just trying to first of all, run the play correctly,

71
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 1: like get it to the first read if he's open

72
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: or whatever, and just stick to my reads and um,

73
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 1: you know, plays will come. You can't chase plays that

74
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 1: aren't there or you think might be there. And sometimes

75
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: in the game, you know, as a quarterback, you see

76
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: one thing, but everyone else saw it differently or whatever.

77
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 1: So whatever you're doing. If you're a receiver and you

78
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 1: tried this stem or this route and it didn't really

79
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 1: work or whatever, but they thought it was gonna work

80
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,039
Speaker 1: based on what they saw at that moment, you kind

81
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 1: of just have the you know, end momentum instinct kind

82
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:33,279
Speaker 1: of just to react and play. So that's that's important

83
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 1: because when you're overthinking stuff, you might not play as

84
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:39,600
Speaker 1: fast or um, you know, as good as you can.

85
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:41,359
Speaker 1: So you just gotta go out there and play football

86
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: like you're playing in the backyard. But at the same time,

87
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 1: you gotta do it the right way and how the

88
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,719
Speaker 1: coaches are teaching us, and that's gonna be great because

89
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 1: they've put us in a position to have really good plays,

90
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 1: and I know exactly what I'm supposed to do on

91
00:04:54,400 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 1: each play, Rock Paper scissor Here you come back, Okay, good.

92
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 1: What's what's the line between taking what the defense gives

93
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:18,280
Speaker 1: you and better the defense take? Take what you take? Um,

94
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:22,280
Speaker 1: I think it's offenses, you have control of that situation.

95
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 1: Defense you're reacting to everything. And I've never played Actually

96
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,279
Speaker 1: I have played defense. I played cornerback like when I

97
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 1: was in Little league. But you're reacting to what someone's doing,

98
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 1: you not all the time you have you know what

99
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 1: they're doing. So I think that's part of it is

100
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 1: just we have to figure out what we're doing first

101
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 1: and then react to what they're doing, and they also

102
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 1: have to react, so it kind of just all goes

103
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 1: hand in hand and you can't over complicate it. And

104
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:48,919
Speaker 1: I think there's definitely times when I watched the film

105
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 1: and I wish I threw threw the ball down the

106
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,119
Speaker 1: field more. But at the same time, I'm just gonna

107
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 1: continue to do what I do and UM take what

108
00:05:55,839 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 1: they give me. Yes, with all you said, obviously only

109
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 1: two games in your provement, you know, I mean, as

110
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:07,359
Speaker 1: hard as you as you are on yourself. Have you

111
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 1: seen progress for week one to week two and how

112
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 1: much you looking forward to that progress continually get you

113
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,919
Speaker 1: go about here? Yeah, I think, um, a lot of

114
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 1: the guys have. We've definitely gotten better as a unit.

115
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 1: Just you know, at first in the preseason games, you

116
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,159
Speaker 1: might get this many reps with the ones or whatever.

117
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 1: So now we're all together and we understand like who's

118
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 1: going to be out there together and kind of what

119
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 1: we expect. So I think just getting the extra reps.

120
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 1: And obviously there's times I'm always gonna say that I

121
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 1: wish I could have done differently in the game or whatever.

122
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:41,239
Speaker 1: But you can't focus too much unless you're just looking

123
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 1: back to see how far you've improved. And I think

124
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: we've definitely improved and we just have to continue to

125
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,159
Speaker 1: do that. So we will. And um, it just goes

126
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,839
Speaker 1: back to practice and fixing what we can fix and

127
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 1: then keeping everything that we know and that we're good

128
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 1: at in our back pocket and when it comes up,

129
00:06:56,600 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 1: we know how to do it. But playing against you

130
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 1: and defense against practice, you said the value of it, Um, yeah,

131
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: I think it's great. I think our defense is just

132
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: very multiple, and um, there's a lot of veteran players

133
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 1: on our defense, and um, when we get a chance

134
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 1: to go against them, it's still eleven on eleven, and

135
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 1: um they do a good job. You know. Sometimes we're

136
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 1: scheming for a team, but we still have to play

137
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 1: against our defense, and um, they do a good job

138
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 1: with just playing what they play and obviously they make

139
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 1: plays too, and job on offense is a score and

140
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 1: try and make plays as well. So whenever we get

141
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 1: a chance to go against them, it's, you know, a

142
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: good battle. So thanks cool
