1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,519
Speaker 1: You mentioned this offense is still at work in congress

2
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:06,080
Speaker 1: that you guys are not sign of type for the

3
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:08,360
Speaker 1: first half of the season. What areas of your game

4
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:10,959
Speaker 1: specifically did you work on during the bye league? Yeah,

5
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 1: I think, um, a lot of us are working on

6
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 1: different things every day, and the bye weeks, you know,

7
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 1: great time to do that. So for me, just making

8
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 1: sure my feet and eyes are in the right place

9
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:22,959
Speaker 1: and continue to go through my reads and continue to

10
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 1: improve in the weight room, nutrition and all that stuff.

11
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:28,319
Speaker 1: So it's a full audit of yourself. I guess you

12
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 1: can call it kind of look at yourself and see

13
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 1: what you can do better. You mentioned that it's part

14
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,520
Speaker 1: of pocket presents. It's pocket presents in terms of making

15
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:41,519
Speaker 1: the reads, holding onto the ball, running when to step up,

16
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 1: part of something that a quarterback has to have instinctively

17
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 1: or can that be taught and learned? Yeah, you can

18
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,519
Speaker 1: learn it. I think there's drills that will help anybody

19
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 1: that that needs that. And obviously every quarterback, you know,

20
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 1: you have a timer in your head, so you want

21
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: to make sure that your drop matches up on the play,

22
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 1: your eyes, all that stuff. So that's something that you're

23
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 1: constantly trying to work through and um, obviously in different

24
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,559
Speaker 1: offenses that applies in different ways, but UM, you always

25
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 1: want to have your feet kind of on that that

26
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 1: clock in your head matching up at the same time. UM,

27
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,199
Speaker 1: and then from there you kind of feel everything else.

28
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:22,039
Speaker 1: It's second nature. Hard focus on the stuff down field

29
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 1: and a soft focus on the rush. What's what's the

30
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:28,759
Speaker 1: biggest challenge of the three games in the twelve days man? Um,

31
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 1: I mean I think it's it's great. Um, it's a

32
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 1: great challenge and we obviously have a great opponent this

33
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,679
Speaker 1: week in the Jets. They're playing as best football as

34
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 1: anybody in the league right now. So UM, you excited

35
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 1: for this one and kind of go from there. And

36
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 1: like you said, there's there's a lot of games coming

37
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 1: up and this is a great time to make a

38
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 1: good push. Man. Would you say you're encouraged by some

39
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 1: of the dixes or a jastments the coaching staff made

40
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: during the bye weech? Yeah. I think, Um, every staff

41
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 1: around the league, in any league, they're working through things

42
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 1: during the bye week, and you know, you obviously have

43
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 1: your identity and what you want to be and how

44
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 1: you can get there is some things you can improve

45
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 1: during the bye week, so we want to continue to

46
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 1: improve every week and then obviously in the bye week too,

47
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 1: But now it's kind of focused on the Jets and

48
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 1: how can we get ready for this game. So I'm

49
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 1: definitely good to do that. And you know, look at

50
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 1: yourself like we talked about earlier, and then obviously as

51
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:32,079
Speaker 1: a team and as an offense defense special team, so

52
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 1: you get a chance to kind of do that audit

53
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,919
Speaker 1: is that identity changed it all for you guys, Mac.

54
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 1: You know, now we're during the bye versus before the

55
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 1: season started. You know, you guys know a lot more

56
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:46,079
Speaker 1: about yourselves. Maybe what you do well. Is the identity

57
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: piece of it changed much for you guys. Yeah, I

58
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: think it's constantly trying to find that identity, and you know,

59
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,639
Speaker 1: every offense is gonna is find that through the year.

60
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 1: You know it's gonna be defined through the year, and

61
00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 1: we got to work through that. And at the end

62
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:00,639
Speaker 1: of the day, we know we want to do we

63
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,839
Speaker 1: need to score more points and eliminate the turnovers and

64
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 1: negative plays and that's kind of where we're at. So

65
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 1: from there we just grow together and coaches, players, everybody.

66
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,800
Speaker 1: So I feel like we we have good effort and

67
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 1: energy and all that stuff. So we're kind of controlling

68
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: those things and then the results are going to come

69
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:24,239
Speaker 1: here soon. You're good. It seems like the Jets last

70
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,079
Speaker 1: time out in kind of their system is kind of

71
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 1: starting that too high samet and then either stay in

72
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 1: it or rotate, and that seems to be getting more

73
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: popular in the league wide, just as a quarterback. But

74
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,839
Speaker 1: what's sort of challenging about that sort of system. Yeah,

75
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: I think it's a great system. There's not a lot

76
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: of flaws. They know exactly, you know, where their weaknesses

77
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 1: are and things like that, and you know, there's not

78
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 1: many weaknesses with this defense, so they're obviously doing like

79
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 1: you said, different twists to it, I guess. But yeah,

80
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 1: they got a good, good front and they rotate those

81
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: guys and everything starts with the front, and they got

82
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: good players all around. So, um, we just have to

83
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 1: and they can do whatever they want to do, you know,

84
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: just just because we played them, they can still come

85
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: out and do different things and we can too. So

86
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 1: that's football, And that's a cool part about the NFL.

87
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 1: When you play somebody twice, it's just a chance to

88
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: go out there and compete and Um, just follow your

89
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 1: rules and stick to your training. How often do you

90
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,359
Speaker 1: guys come off the field and while you're playing good teams,

91
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,039
Speaker 1: we have good plans. If things don't go your way,

92
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 1: you're saying, well, it's kind of more us, whether it

93
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 1: be penalties or shots, Yeah, something is it more than

94
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: you've seen that? That's us. Yeah. I don't know if

95
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: I have like a percentage, but definitely like that feel,

96
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 1: you know where it's like, all right, we're really gonna

97
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 1: you know, have the penalties and the negative plays and

98
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 1: the turnovers. Again, so definitely trying to control those things.

99
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: And um, that starts in practice. It's just habit and

100
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 1: UM we're working through that, getting better. Definitely seeing progress there,

101
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 1: which is great. Um. And then we just got applied

102
00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 1: in a game. And every game is different, right, So

103
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 1: it's sometimes the smooth sale and sometimes it's you got

104
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 1: to battle it out and figure out how to win.

105
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,159
Speaker 1: So that's kind of the NFL. When you watch games

106
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 1: around the league, Um, you know the teams that just

107
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,599
Speaker 1: figure out how to win, you know, whether it's the turnovers, penalties,

108
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 1: they just find a way. Um, and that's the important part,

109
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: is just winning. So I am because you already give

110
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 1: a team to play on the other side. I mean, yeah,

111
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: I think that's you know, everybody's you know, mo or whatever.

112
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 1: You want to be able to compete against herself. Um

113
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: and obviously competing against another team is hard too, but

114
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 1: you want to be able to you know, do well

115
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: in those situations. So it's kind of a full full

116
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 1: picture at every quarterback would want to live in a

117
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 1: world without pressure. But when those plays happen, I kind

118
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,280
Speaker 1: of interfere with the clock that you mentioned, and they

119
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:47,039
Speaker 1: given play, How would you assess your reaction or your

120
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 1: play within pressure So far this year? Um, yeah, I think, um,

121
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,239
Speaker 1: you know, we've done a good job in the offensive line.

122
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 1: I think we have a good group of guys. They're

123
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 1: kind of molding together here and Um, for me, it's

124
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,600
Speaker 1: just keep my eyes down field and then step up

125
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 1: in the pocket and do all that stuff. So it's

126
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:05,720
Speaker 1: like I said, it depends on the play. You know,

127
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 1: what I'm looking at and things like that, and the

128
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:10,720
Speaker 1: offense line's doing a good job and I just need

129
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 1: to continue to work on that and get the ball

130
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 1: to everybody else because that's when we start getting yards.

131
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 1: Look for your identity, you continue to do that and

132
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,039
Speaker 1: find it. Do you feel like this was a good time.

133
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 1: You talked about it a little bit, going into kind

134
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 1: of reset yourself physically and mentally and your offense. Um, Yeah,

135
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 1: I think, um, you know, in the bye week, like

136
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,919
Speaker 1: I said, just working through those things. Everybody is working

137
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 1: on individual stuff and then as a team as an offense,

138
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 1: special teams, defense. So we're kind of you know, on

139
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,039
Speaker 1: the jets here and and kind of applying those things

140
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 1: as best we can. But at the end of the day,

141
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 1: it's it's all about Sunday and how you apply that

142
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 1: product under the field. So we want to be able

143
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 1: to do that, and we understand that this is, you know,

144
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 1: a team that's playing the best in the NFL right now,

145
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 1: so it starts with us, but we also have to

146
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: respect our opponent and they're a really good team. David back,

147
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 1: Outside of the things that we see, what are some

148
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 1: of the other things that David brings to the table,

149
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 1: especially for you as a quarterback. Yeah, I think David's

150
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 1: a great leader on our team. He's played against a

151
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,559
Speaker 1: lot of different defenses, played on some really good teams,

152
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 1: so he provides that positive energy and obviously he's a

153
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 1: great football player, but it's a lot of the other

154
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: things too, and just he's kind of the bell cow

155
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 1: of that whole deal. So he does a great job.

156
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 1: Really happy with him and everybody else too. They're doing

157
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 1: a really good job just trying to work together and

158
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 1: get better at individual techniques. That's what I even noticed today,

159
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 1: is just the little things that guys are trying to

160
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 1: work through and all that is really important. Much better

161
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 1: does the ankle field that he didn't have to play

162
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 1: a game last week? Yeah, I think, Um, it was

163
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 1: good for everybody, I think in the NFL obviously, when

164
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 1: you get your bye week, you get a chance to, um,

165
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 1: you know, rest your body, your mind, whatever it is. Um.

166
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 1: So yeah, for me, that definitely helped. Other guys are

167
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 1: dealing with other stuff, so you know, they got the

168
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 1: rest they needed. So we're excited for this one. Now

169
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 1: we'll see. You mentioned the self audit a few times.

170
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 1: Is there anything that you found over the by that

171
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 1: kind of stood out to you? Yeah? I think a

172
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 1: lot of things are personal to me and things that

173
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 1: I want to keep to myself, but a lot of

174
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 1: things that I can improve, just like I said, footwork, timing, eyes,

175
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 1: all that stuff, which I'm trying to improve that every

176
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 1: week regardless and definitely put an extra emphasis on it

177
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 1: and trying to match up everything. So felt good about,

178
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,679
Speaker 1: you know, the progress we made and just got to

179
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 1: apply it. Like I said on Sunday, is there a

180
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 1: big difference in the timing and the footwork and how

181
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,959
Speaker 1: the routes developed for you guys this year versus last

182
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: year at Maclick has been a big change this year. Um,

183
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 1: I wouldn't make comparisons, just two different offenses and different coaches,

184
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 1: different players, so everything's we're doing some similar things, which

185
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 1: is really good. And every offense is different, right, So

186
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:02,839
Speaker 1: you watch another team, their quarterbacks fee might be a

187
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 1: little different than you know where it matches up with us,

188
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:08,560
Speaker 1: So it's just specific to us and I think we're

189
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 1: really doing a good job there. For the most part.

190
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,680
Speaker 1: In practice is where it starts. Like I said, the

191
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 1: only way you can tell is through full speed reps.

192
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 1: So we've gotten a lot of those obviously in training

193
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 1: camp and you know in the spring too, So just

194
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 1: going back on those those reps that we've had and

195
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 1: making sure that everything times up. Cool. Thank you for
