1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,360
Speaker 1: That third drive for you to come out of here

2
00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 1: feeling in a good spot. Yeah, it was, you know,

3
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:08,840
Speaker 1: a little bit of a rocky start, but that's kind

4
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:10,119
Speaker 1: of how it goes when you haven't played for a

5
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:12,559
Speaker 1: little bit and you just gotta continue to play. And

6
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:16,239
Speaker 1: you know, the guys on our team, we came together,

7
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:19,760
Speaker 1: kind of operated, didn't freak out or anything, just carry

8
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 1: on and get our mojo back and keep everything going forward.

9
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:25,479
Speaker 1: So it was a good drive. And you know, the

10
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 1: game is sixty minutes, and right now a lot of

11
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 1: the younger guys are getting a chance to play, which

12
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:32,280
Speaker 1: is great, so we understand how long a sixty minute

13
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 1: game is. And I think that was a good learning

14
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 1: lesson of all. Right, let's keep playing here and you know,

15
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 1: when we get into the season, we'll have a lot

16
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:43,280
Speaker 1: of chances to play those games out and continue to grow.

17
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:49,160
Speaker 1: Whether it was a good first drive or not. Mac,

18
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 1: What have you noticed is the biggest difference between playing

19
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 1: as a rookie and entering a game as someone with

20
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 1: a year under their belt. Yeah, I think you know,

21
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 1: as a rookie, you're out there was trying to do

22
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 1: your job and play your role and kind of just

23
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,120
Speaker 1: do exactly what we're supposed to do, and now with

24
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:08,480
Speaker 1: a little bit of freedom and a little bit of

25
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 1: more experience, is obviously good. But at the end of

26
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: the day, it's football, and it's the same game that

27
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,039
Speaker 1: we've all been playing since we were little, and it

28
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 1: was just good to get back out there. And I

29
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 1: know it's a long season ahead, so it was good

30
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: to get the feet wet again and continue to grow

31
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 1: from that. Mac You're scoring drive one across the end

32
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:27,839
Speaker 1: of the first and so the early in the second quarter.

33
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 1: Was the original plan for you just to play the

34
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 1: first quarter and then sit out the rest of the game,

35
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,040
Speaker 1: Or did Bill and Matt talk to you and say,

36
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 1: we want you to finish this hulf, we want you

37
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 1: to score on this drive. There wasn't any like timetable

38
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 1: or anything. I just knew I was going to get

39
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,680
Speaker 1: a chance to play, so I just went out there

40
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 1: and did that. And like I said, it's it's the preseason,

41
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 1: so we want to get a lot of players looks

42
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 1: and stuff, and you know, I got a chance to

43
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: go out there and work with the offense and kind

44
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 1: of get everybody on the same page here, and that's

45
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: what it's all about. Can you take us through the

46
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: pass play with Nelson. You guys have obviously hit a

47
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 1: few of those in practice, and you know how nice

48
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 1: does it feel to hit it in the game. Yeah,

49
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:10,959
Speaker 1: it was good. I think it was a good play

50
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,679
Speaker 1: call and he went up and made a good play

51
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: and I had plenty of time to throw it, and

52
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 1: you know by that time, we're you know, moving the

53
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:19,920
Speaker 1: ball a little bit. So that was a good explosive

54
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: play for a touchdown and drive and that's important for

55
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:25,959
Speaker 1: you know, putting points on the board. So it was

56
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 1: a good catch too. Mac. Along the line of the

57
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 1: question that was just dashed about the continuing drive between

58
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 1: the first quarter and the second quarter. At the end

59
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: of the first quarter, I noticed you go buy the bench,

60
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 1: not to talk to anybody, and grab a ball start

61
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 1: working out. Was that in New York? Mind? You didn't

62
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 1: want to talk talk to anybody about coming out. You

63
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 1: wanted to stay in. You just didn't feel we wanted

64
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 1: to talk in order to make sure you stayed in. Oh,

65
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 1: I have no idea. I just I knew I was

66
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:50,959
Speaker 1: going in. You know, they didn't tell me I was

67
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: out yet, So I just always do that before any drive,

68
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: throw a couple of passes five or six, and then

69
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 1: when I feel good, I know I'm ready for the

70
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 1: next So I've done that since I was five years old,

71
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 1: and I'll continue to do that. Mac oh, I have

72
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 1: a question about the scrumbled play before the touchdown in

73
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 1: the second quarter. Was that designed play or if not,

74
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,359
Speaker 1: what did you see that you know set you off? Um,

75
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 1: it was not a designed It was just a pass

76
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 1: play and yeah there's people open, but they played very

77
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: soft off so I just kind of found my way

78
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:31,919
Speaker 1: and got positive yards and got down. Mac. It seemed

79
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 1: like last week there was a picture in your locker

80
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 1: from that Bill's playoff game at the end of last season.

81
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 1: When you see that, when you see that photo every

82
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: day coming into the facility, what does that do for you? Yeah,

83
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: I've always been a big fan of like having motivation

84
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 1: stuff in your locker, and my dad actually, the two

85
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: things that he's always showed me is the poem Man

86
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 1: in the Arena and if by Roger Kipling. So those

87
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: are the two that are more important to me. But

88
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 1: I've always done that, and you know that's last year,

89
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 1: but I think it's motivation to just come in here

90
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 1: and work every day. And I do love the two

91
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 1: poems a lot, so that that that's a big shot

92
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: out to my dad because he he kind of gave

93
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 1: me those when I was probably like six years old

94
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 1: and kind of explained everything to me, and as I grew,

95
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:27,279
Speaker 1: I continue to just enjoy that. Actually, the IF poem

96
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,840
Speaker 1: is in Wimbledon, so that's where he learned about it,

97
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 1: in the locker room in Wimbledon, So it's pretty cool. Mac.

98
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,159
Speaker 1: It seems like the offense has made progress in terms

99
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,840
Speaker 1: of just communication with each other on the field. How

100
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:43,039
Speaker 1: would you characterize the press the communication tonight in the

101
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,479
Speaker 1: game set? Yeah, it was good. I think, just kind

102
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 1: of a different perspective in the preseason. Obviously not playing

103
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 1: every snap, so it's cool to see the game from

104
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 1: a different perspective and listen to the coaches and help

105
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:57,840
Speaker 1: the young guys. You know. I like to let them

106
00:04:57,839 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 1: play and do their thing, because that's how I kind

107
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 1: of to be too, is just go out there and

108
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 1: play and then save the tape for the game film,

109
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:07,280
Speaker 1: you know, the next day or whatever. But I can

110
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 1: always give tips. And the communication between the coaches and

111
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,479
Speaker 1: assistant coaches was great. I think that is something that

112
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 1: we made a lot of progress in just positive next

113
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 1: play mentality, you know, versus maybe dwelling a little bit

114
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:26,720
Speaker 1: mac first game where you have Matt Patricia and your

115
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 1: year cong plays Joe Judge helping out an offense with

116
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:33,159
Speaker 1: in game action. How is that having them kind of

117
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,040
Speaker 1: coach you up and how excited did that just get

118
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 1: you for the regular season? Yeah, I think Mattie's done

119
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:41,479
Speaker 1: a great job. He's one of the most brilliant people

120
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 1: I've ever been around in terms of football knowledge. So

121
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 1: you know, between all the coaches we have, they've done

122
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 1: a great job preparing us and he's really starting it

123
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: a feel forward and that's the thing, is just growing

124
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:56,039
Speaker 1: each week and making sure that we can stack, you know,

125
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 1: good days together. And he's very easy to talk to

126
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 1: you on the sideline. I'm very easy, laid back kind

127
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 1: of type coach, but demands a lot and I respect

128
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,839
Speaker 1: that about him, and hopefully we can grow for a

129
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: long time working with a little Jordan Huntrees since he

130
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 1: came over a couple months ago. Yeah, I think Lj's

131
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 1: a beast. And when he got signed here, I remember

132
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 1: I texted him and asked him if he wanted to

133
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:28,160
Speaker 1: come catch and he immediately responded and found a way

134
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 1: to make it out to where we were and came

135
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 1: to our throwing sessions. So he's a grinder, he's a

136
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 1: big dude. He's great on special teams too. So we

137
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 1: have great receivers and it's great to see them all

138
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:40,480
Speaker 1: get a chance to catch the ball and run. And

139
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 1: he's a big body type receiver and that's a good

140
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:46,160
Speaker 1: addition for us. Cool. Thanks, see guys,
