1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:02,360
Speaker 1: Mac for the second straight week. You guys had a

2
00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:04,800
Speaker 1: chance to win the game in the last possession or

3
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:06,880
Speaker 1: tie the game in the last possession. Do you view

4
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:09,080
Speaker 1: that as a positive in terms of coming back and

5
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:11,520
Speaker 1: getting a chance to do it, or as a negative

6
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:13,040
Speaker 1: that you didn't actually get it done.

7
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:15,960
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think ninety percent of the games in the

8
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:18,120
Speaker 2: NFL go going to the fourth quarter in the one

9
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:20,759
Speaker 2: possession game, So just trying to learn and get better

10
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:23,159
Speaker 2: from that, and just wasn't our day. Hasn't been our

11
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 2: day for the last two weeks, so we just got to,

12
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:27,800
Speaker 2: you know, learn from it and get better.

13
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 3: MAC.

14
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 1: We saw a lot of guys in the locker room

15
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:33,879
Speaker 1: obviously looking very defeated after this one, yourself included.

16
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 3: I know it's only week two, but how do you

17
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:38,600
Speaker 3: kind of make sure that this doesn't spiral into something more?

18
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:41,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think about, you know, past experience and my

19
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:44,160
Speaker 2: rookie year, and we didn't really start off too hot

20
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 2: and then went on a really good winning streak. So

21
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 2: for me, that's just all I can do is look

22
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 2: back on experiences I've already had in my life and

23
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 2: hopefully the guys on the team can respond. Definitely got

24
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 2: to play better and learn from it, and you know,

25
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 2: be here early and leave late and do it togather,

26
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 2: I think that's the biggest thing. It's if a couple

27
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 2: guys are doing it, it's not good enough, clearly, So

28
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:07,399
Speaker 2: we got to put put more into it and we'll

29
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 2: get more out of it.

30
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 4: Matt would Hunter was talking David about close. The word

31
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:15,959
Speaker 4: close kept coming up. How fast striking is it to

32
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 4: be so close but to not be able to break

33
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 4: through and get that win?

34
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think in the long run it's gonna help

35
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 2: us at some point during you know, the season, or

36
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 2: you know, when we all play together. So I think

37
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 2: obviously it sucks, but really, when when you're close, you

38
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 2: just have to do more. I think weight room film practice, like,

39
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 2: everyone just has to do more. And hopefully if you

40
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 2: do that, I mean, you know, you did everything you

41
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 2: could do right, So at that point, some of it's

42
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:44,959
Speaker 2: out of your control, some of it's luck, some of

43
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 2: its other things. But for us, just got to do more.

44
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 4: Mac what can you say about your defense giving you

45
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 4: go guys opportunities when the offense was struggling to get

46
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 4: things going.

47
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're great. Our defense is continued to do a

48
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 2: great job in the games and we saw it firsthand

49
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 2: and practice all offseason, so they just got to keep

50
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 2: doing their thing and we got to figure it out

51
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 2: on our side.

52
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 5: Back the touchdown to Henry, is that like a design

53
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 5: play for him to release on the route or was

54
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 5: that just kind of play around in football at that point.

55
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 2: Just trying to make a play and he made a

56
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 2: good play.

57
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 5: And Mac, what was your reaction to Tomrio not playing

58
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 5: any offensive snaps after the fumble.

59
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think Pop obviously young player and just trying

60
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 2: to keep them encouraged. Obviously one of my close buddies.

61
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 2: So it's gonna happen young players. You know, there's gonna

62
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 2: be mistakes, but for him it's a learning experience for

63
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 2: all of us and myself included with the interception, so

64
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 2: can't have the turnovers. Got to work on it, address

65
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,920
Speaker 2: the situation and then get better at it. So for him,

66
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 2: you know, I told them, just keep your head up

67
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 2: and you know, practice just every day, holding on to

68
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 2: the ball, people hitting at it. Things that you can

69
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:00,519
Speaker 2: do to get better.

70
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 1: Mack. You keep repeating, everyone has to do more obviously

71
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 1: result of the close losses. Was there anything during the

72
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,360
Speaker 1: week that you saw and thought, Okay, we could be

73
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 1: doing more before the game.

74
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 2: No. I mean, once you have close games like this,

75
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 2: it just keeps popping up. That's all I think about

76
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 2: is just how can we operate better in the crunch time.

77
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 2: And it takes all eleven starts with me. So gotta

78
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 2: be better on offense and we will this week.

79
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 4: Mac, what did you see on the final fourth down

80
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 4: play going to Mike on a pretty short route and

81
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 4: then following watching a coal after the pitch. How close

82
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 4: do you think he got on that play?

83
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 2: Yeah? I think the biggest thing is just go through

84
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 2: my reads and execute the play. When it's fourth down.

85
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 2: You know, everyone's trying to throw beyond the sticks, but

86
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 2: we had two option routes in that play and just

87
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 2: try to make a play. But yeah, just didn't go away.

88
00:03:57,920 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 3: Mac, I just wanted to ask you about the challenge

89
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 3: of play from behind. We focus a lot sometimes on

90
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 3: those final drives, but you played from behind early in

91
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 3: both games. Just overall, what's the challenge and is it

92
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 3: differently in the court. You know just what the challenge

93
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 3: is and how hard it is, what you guys have

94
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 3: done to yourselves.

95
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:18,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, biggest thing is just we're close we drove the

96
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,159
Speaker 2: ball pretty well. I just didn't get it in. You know.

97
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:24,599
Speaker 2: Last week we were behind and kind of scored some touchdowns,

98
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:26,600
Speaker 2: you know, And if we can combine those two things,

99
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 2: move the ball and then get it in the red zone,

100
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 2: I think everyone would be smiling right now. So that's

101
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 2: the biggest thing. Just watch the tape and see how

102
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,479
Speaker 2: we can get it in. Make it easier on the

103
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 2: defense and special teams. Your final questions, Mark Daniels and

104
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 2: Phil Mac.

105
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 4: What's the key to not letting this fester and just

106
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 4: get worse from here?

107
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 2: Really? Just stay positive and try and work together and

108
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 2: find solutions to issues or problems. That's all you can

109
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:59,839
Speaker 2: do is just come in each day, arrive early, leave late,

110
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 2: and grind with each other.

111
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 5: Question Mac, how can you guys get a little bit

112
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 5: more maybe out of your down the field passing game?

113
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 5: And how challenging has it been maybe with some of

114
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 5: the moving pieces upfront with the offensive line.

115
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought it's tough, right, you got three new

116
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 2: guys on the line, But those guys came in and

117
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 2: played really hard. Was really proud. You know. It's tough,

118
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 2: tough front to go again, So sometimes it's just part

119
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 2: of the game plan and coach O'Brien. Obviously we want

120
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 2: to throw it downfield, but you got to kind of

121
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 2: take what the defense gives or you know, and things

122
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,039
Speaker 2: like that. So tough, tough day on the yard, but

123
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,160
Speaker 2: I definitely want to find ways to get it down

124
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 2: the field more to help our defense. Thanks
