1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,240
Speaker 1: We weren't. We weren't really sure. You know, we've talked

2
00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:05,080
Speaker 1: to you for over a year. Now we're not We

3
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:07,560
Speaker 1: we have this uh this uh this, you know thought

4
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:09,720
Speaker 1: that you don't know which one is lou and which

5
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:12,840
Speaker 1: one is Christian? Like which one which guy? Which guy

6
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:16,919
Speaker 1: played baseball, and which guy played I feel like my

7
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 1: legs tight end. Now you're giving it away. I mean

8
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:23,320
Speaker 1: it is nice. I mean you guys technically didn't even

9
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:27,639
Speaker 1: know what I looked like, right, so tire, Yeah, I

10
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:29,640
Speaker 1: never know. It could have been somebody else. So she's

11
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:33,959
Speaker 1: a lacrosse player. Yeah, okay, he's the football player Bay. Yeah,

12
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:36,560
Speaker 1: all good. We all figured out. So it's good to

13
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 1: sit down here with you. So I'm curious. Now you've

14
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 1: got you know, three preseason games, you got some joint practices.

15
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:43,839
Speaker 1: Where would you or how would you assess where you

16
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:46,840
Speaker 1: guys are at right now? Offensively? Yeah, I think, Um,

17
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 1: we're still working and that's all you can do. And um,

18
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 1: there's a lot of good stuff on tape, but it's

19
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 1: just putting more consistency on it. That just comes with

20
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 1: the players and me playing better and we just have

21
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 1: to practice that way. And there's nothing we can do

22
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 1: about the past if we feel that way, and we

23
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 1: just got to keep moving forward. So today was today,

24
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:07,679
Speaker 1: and it was a better day. So that's all you

25
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:11,319
Speaker 1: can look at and obviously watch game film and understand

26
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:13,120
Speaker 1: what we're trying to do and then then attack a

27
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,119
Speaker 1: defense a certain way when we get, you know, into

28
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 1: the season. So how much stock do you put in preseason? Um?

29
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 1: I think preseason's great. I think, um like, last year

30
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 1: for me was very eye opening, just because I got

31
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 1: a chance to get a lot of reps. So I understand,

32
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 1: you know, everybody gets a chance to play and that's

33
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 1: important for them and their families. And obviously you know,

34
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 1: it's a little different in year two. But at the

35
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 1: same time, it's good to see the game from a

36
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 1: different lens and not necessarily being out there and getting

37
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 1: into a great rhythm, but just being out there and

38
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 1: watching you know, NFL football, um, seeing how it's played. Um,

39
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 1: you know, I get to see, like you said, a

40
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: bunch of my friends are out there where that's on

41
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 1: my team or a different team from Alabama or etc.

42
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: So I think it's a great time of the year,

43
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 1: and um, it just needs to build into the season.

44
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 1: And you got to learn from your mistakes if you

45
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 1: you know, have mistakes out there and just adjust to

46
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 1: you know, go back and say, hey, remember in the

47
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 1: preseason when this happened, how are we going to fix it?

48
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 1: And that happened last year plenty of times. Really a

49
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: certain look, you know, remember this during the preseason, this look,

50
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 1: this front, this is what we're gonna do like we

51
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: did then. So there's a lot of merit to things

52
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 1: that can pop back up. So you're not one of

53
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 1: those one of those guys that just like just okay

54
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 1: enough already. I just want to get to like you

55
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 1: get bored with preseason, to get bored with the with

56
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,359
Speaker 1: the looks. You just want to a better challenge, and

57
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 1: so you appreciate the preseason. Yeah, I do. I think,

58
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: like I said, there's a lot of carryover and football's football,

59
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,519
Speaker 1: and obviously it's you know, like you said, maybe not

60
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 1: as intense, but at the same time, you're getting a

61
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: lot of good whether that's mental or physical reps when

62
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 1: you're watching or playing. So it's a little different, but

63
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 1: it's definitely good to get out there and you know,

64
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 1: get back into it. So Mac, I'm curious. We have

65
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,239
Speaker 1: heard always about how when Tom Brady was here, he

66
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,079
Speaker 1: would have these weekly meetings or sometimes more with Bill

67
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: Belichick when they would talk about his progress is quarterback

68
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 1: and everything on the offense outside of what we see

69
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,399
Speaker 1: in practice or what we used to get to see

70
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,079
Speaker 1: during the open parts or training camp. How much time

71
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 1: do you spend with Bill A good amount. I think

72
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:16,079
Speaker 1: he's been very hands on, and I mean even last

73
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: year's hands on, just helping me through some of the

74
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 1: defensive looks and stuff and kind of coming up with

75
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,360
Speaker 1: things that we wanted to attack in this year, he's

76
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,679
Speaker 1: done the same. And he has that knowledge of, hey,

77
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 1: this is what they're looking at when you do this,

78
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 1: or your eyes are here, they can see you know,

79
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 1: a different thing if you look them up or whatever.

80
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 1: It's just so many different examples of just him as

81
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 1: a defensive coach knowing what put stress on a defense.

82
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: And then obviously he has a great understanding of the

83
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 1: fundamentals of a quarterback. So I respect everything he says

84
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: to me because he's seen, you know, great quarterbacks played

85
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 1: for a long time. He's played against great quarterbacks coached

86
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 1: against them, and obviously that's important because you know, he

87
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: has so much knowledge and I just try to be

88
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: as sponge as best I can and learn from him

89
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 1: and just let him teach me. How different do you

90
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 1: feel that your relationship is with Bill Belichick compared to

91
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,839
Speaker 1: this time last year when you hadn't even started your

92
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 1: first regular season game in the NFL yet. Yeah, I

93
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 1: think he's you know, he's still the same coach. He's

94
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,479
Speaker 1: very knowledgeable, and you know, he sees what he sees

95
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 1: and he's gonna tell you if you did something good

96
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 1: or to tell you if you did something not so good.

97
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:24,280
Speaker 1: So that's good coaching is just the consistency. And he's

98
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 1: done that this year, he did that last year, and um,

99
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,479
Speaker 1: obviously there's a lot of learning experiences and that's what

100
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: it's all about. Whether that's your first year or second

101
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: year or your tenth year, you want to be able

102
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,040
Speaker 1: to learn from a really good coach. So I've been

103
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 1: really fortunate with that real quickly. But have you ever

104
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 1: told him that he was wrong? Have you ever been

105
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 1: in a situation where like, no, no no, No, that's that's

106
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:46,160
Speaker 1: the way it works. So if you ever, like, I

107
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 1: wonder if you would actually like you know, do it

108
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:49,599
Speaker 1: on purpose to see if you would check him or

109
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 1: not Christian. Have you used to shortstop? Yeah, I mean

110
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 1: there's definitely you know, time's out there. He sees it

111
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:00,919
Speaker 1: one way and then the or may see it another.

112
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 1: That's with any position that he's probably coached to talk

113
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 1: it out. Then obviously, hey, you just talk it out.

114
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 1: And as long as there's a why, I'm good with whatever.

115
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 1: So if he says, you know, this is why we're

116
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 1: doing it, and then I'm like, great, sounds good, let's

117
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 1: do it. Let's try it out and make it work.

118
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: So I'm sure he's had plenty of really good players

119
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 1: that maybe they did something in their past or they

120
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,239
Speaker 1: you know, think they this feels a little better or whatnot.

121
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 1: And he does a good job of just finding the

122
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 1: balance of Okay, well you're the one out there, so

123
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: you got to make the plays and we want to

124
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: be on the same page. So I do respect that

125
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 1: about him. All Right. We're talking to Mac Jones, and Mac,

126
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: you know, a lot of talk coming in year two

127
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: right quarterback, better understanding of the offense, the scheme and everything.

128
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 1: There's been a lot of talk about the scheme and

129
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,600
Speaker 1: the offense and and maybe learning different things. And I

130
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 1: don't when I look at the field them like, I

131
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 1: don't know what you're doing differently, So you tell how

132
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: different is it? How different is what you did last

133
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 1: year to what you're doing this year. Yeah, I think, um,

134
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: like I always say, football is football, but there are

135
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: definitely some different changes with just mentality and philosophy, and

136
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 1: I think they're a good things. So we're trying to,

137
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: you know, get the ball to our playmakers and let

138
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 1: them make explosive plays and um, I like that philosophy

139
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 1: and that's what we want to do. And we have

140
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,479
Speaker 1: really good players, so I think it's more about understanding

141
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,159
Speaker 1: what we have this year, um, with the skill guys

142
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 1: and the running backs and tight ends and being able

143
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 1: to spread the ball out and we'll get a chance

144
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:18,720
Speaker 1: to do that in this season and the preseason. It's

145
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,039
Speaker 1: a lot of you know, trying things out and seeing

146
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 1: who can make plays and stuff, and that's what it's

147
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,480
Speaker 1: all about. So um, I guess we'll find out here soon.

148
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 1: And it's all about just trying to grow as an

149
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 1: offense together and being on the same page. Regardless off

150
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: they call. You know, what looks like something compared to

151
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 1: something else, It doesn't necessarily matter. As long as we

152
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 1: were all on the same page. So um, real quick

153
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 1: sidebar questions squirrel moment question before my other questions. They

154
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 1: are they still doing like rookie shows and stuff? Guys

155
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,040
Speaker 1: still singing? Yeah a little bit? Did anyone who did?

156
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 1: Anyone who was the which rookie was the best for performer? Um?

157
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 1: I mean is it just songs what they're doing? Skits

158
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 1: or the worst? Yeah? Um, I mean I was in

159
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 1: their shoes, so it was It's definitely hard and you

160
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,279
Speaker 1: don't know when you're gonna get caught on. So I

161
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 1: mean they did a pretty good job. The jokes were okay,

162
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 1: but the skit was definitely good. So that I can't

163
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: share with us with the I'm sure Bill with somebody

164
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 1: Bill who dressed up his bill. Um, everybody dressed up

165
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 1: a bill at some point time. Then they twirled the

166
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 1: whistle and stuff. Yeah, I think. I mean, it's definitely

167
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 1: in between the walls. So I can't say. Okay, I

168
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 1: mean I thought it was good though. I give it

169
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 1: like a you know, a solid grade. Okay. So you

170
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 1: know I saw like after the game that you were

171
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 1: talking about. I'm just gonna pair phrase here because I

172
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 1: don't have the exact quote. Um, how you talked about

173
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 1: how you want to do a better job getting the

174
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 1: ball out and and stopping you know, stepping up into

175
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 1: the pocket and running around, putting the offensive line in

176
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 1: like a bad situation. I'm just curious, what do you

177
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 1: think contributing to that with you, um, not staying in

178
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 1: the pocket and not putting your offensive line in the

179
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 1: bad what do you think it's contributing to that? You know, Yeah,

180
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 1: I think just getting into my rhythm of a real

181
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 1: game and trying to just find myself and do what

182
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 1: I do best, and that's just throw the ball to

183
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 1: the open guy and step up in the pocket. So

184
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, I just need to do a better job.

185
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 1: And I always like to find the solution. And there's

186
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 1: nothing that the offensive line's not doing right. They're doing fine.

187
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 1: I just gotta give them that space where they know

188
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be and um, when I have to move,

189
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: all move. But I've always been taught to stand tall

190
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: and you know, deliver the ball. So that's what's last

191
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 1: Like when you break contain, are you like damn it

192
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 1: like I you know, or is it like the last

193
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 1: resort for you? Like you would you rather take the

194
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:32,599
Speaker 1: hit and stay in the pocket or try and extend it. Um,

195
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:34,719
Speaker 1: you know, even though it maybe you know, put you

196
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 1: at risk. I mean there's quarterbacks who do both, and um,

197
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 1: I'm not the most athletic guy, but I can you know,

198
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 1: make my way around, I feel like. So there's there's

199
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 1: advantages to both. Um, you want to play within the structure,

200
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,680
Speaker 1: but you can also make plays. Like you see great

201
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in the NFL. Some of them just you know,

202
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 1: make the throws and some of them create the throws.

203
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 1: So to be able to do both is important. But um,

204
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 1: it just depend on the play. It could be one

205
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 1: play could differ from the other base off of one

206
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:05,960
Speaker 1: little look that you get. So we're designed too, so

207
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 1: you never know. Mac you said something that I thought

208
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 1: was interesting after the preseason game. You alluded to Joe

209
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 1: Judge the rapport that you had with him, saying, you know,

210
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 1: he respects what you say you see on the field

211
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 1: as the guy with the ball in your hands. Is

212
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 1: you've had a lot of different coaches. Is that something

213
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:28,719
Speaker 1: that you feel is very unique to your relationship with Joe. Yeah,

214
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 1: I do. I've been coached by a lot of people

215
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 1: and had really good quarterback coaches, and the ones that

216
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 1: I've you know, meshed with the best were the ones

217
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 1: that understand that, you know, I'm out there playing, but

218
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:43,079
Speaker 1: at the same time, I want to be coached. So

219
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 1: I feel like we're getting that chemistry down, and you know,

220
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 1: they see things sometimes I just want to save it

221
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 1: for the game film, and a lot of quarterbacks do

222
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: that is just hey, I'm going to save this for

223
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 1: the film and let's talk about it later. So he

224
00:09:56,200 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 1: definitely sees the game similar in that regard, and he

225
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 1: has a good respect And that's not just me, that's

226
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 1: all the assistant coaches. I feel like they do a

227
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,199
Speaker 1: great job of, Hey, this is what we're trying to do,

228
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 1: but if you see it this way, you know that's fine,

229
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 1: and that's how you can play free and play fast.

230
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 1: So I do respect that about him and all of

231
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 1: our coaches. So we just got to just execute better

232
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 1: on the field for them and make the plays when

233
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 1: they're there and don't chase plays and let the plays

234
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 1: come to you, is what I'm kind of saying. So

235
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 1: we obviously we've been a discussion, as you know, because

236
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:28,599
Speaker 1: you've been answering these questions left and right about the

237
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 1: offensive coordinate situation. To coaches, and it's been a big

238
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 1: theme around here talking you know, who's seen your ear?

239
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 1: Are there too many people messages coming? Because last year

240
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 1: it was just Josh McDaniels rookie year, he coaches you up.

241
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 1: So what is it like having different voices this year

242
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 1: or more messages may be coming from different people it's

243
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 1: opposed to maybe just one last year. Yeah, I think,

244
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 1: like I say, we have people with plenty of knowledge

245
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 1: and great coaches who've seen offensive football, special teams, defense,

246
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 1: so they've seen everything. And I guess really is just

247
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 1: making sure that we all see it in the same lens,

248
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 1: and we're doing a good job of that. It doesn't

249
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,320
Speaker 1: matter for me if it's one people or five people,

250
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 1: you know, I really don't. You know, I don't mind

251
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 1: either or. And for me, it's about what can I

252
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 1: do better? And like I said, there's certain things I

253
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: want to work on, you know, this week, especially in practice,

254
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,839
Speaker 1: and a lot of it's just simple fundamentals and once

255
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 1: that happens and we'll play better. And everyone around him

256
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 1: he is doing the same thing. We're all trying to

257
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 1: just work on one thing each day and get better

258
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 1: and from there, you know, we'll execute the plays better.

259
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 1: That's really all it comes down to. I know that's

260
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 1: like a super basic answer, but I think it's just

261
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 1: individual effort and just execution needs to improve, and then

262
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 1: once we do that, we're good to go. I think

263
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 1: the coaches have laid out what they want us to do,

264
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,200
Speaker 1: and they've done a good job explaining everything does. So

265
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 1: we just have to do better, yea real quick So

266
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 1: you even like in last game on Friday, there's and

267
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:54,439
Speaker 1: we've seen it in a passing preseason. I think a

268
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 1: lot of people talking about practices seeing frustration from you.

269
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 1: Is that just common this time of year or is

270
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 1: it you specifical or is it just because your perfectionists, Like,

271
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:05,679
Speaker 1: it seems like a lot of frustration from you from

272
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 1: what we've been hearing. Yeah, I think, um, like, I

273
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:12,079
Speaker 1: care a lot about football and sometimes maybe I shouldn't

274
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 1: show as much as I do. But it's also a

275
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 1: way to just to get things out, and it's not

276
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 1: always something someone else doing. A lot of time, it's

277
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 1: I'm frustrated with myself because I'm a perfectionist and I

278
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 1: want things to be perfect. But you know, once I

279
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 1: get into the kind of game mode, it's more about

280
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 1: all right, let me just move on from it and

281
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:33,079
Speaker 1: wash it, and I might get frustrated for a little bit,

282
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 1: but for me, it's more about trying to move on

283
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 1: and that's something that I've always, you know, tried to

284
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:39,680
Speaker 1: do and try to get better at. So I definitely

285
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 1: can do better at that. And like I said, it's

286
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 1: more individual than anything. And if I'm going to get

287
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 1: frustrated other people, it's only to bring the best out

288
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 1: in them, and I would hope that they hold me

289
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 1: to the same standard, which they are, so we're all

290
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 1: on the same page there. So that's so just back

291
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 1: to lose original question. So that transition from Josh to

292
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:03,679
Speaker 1: whoever is would you describe it as seamless easy? I mean,

293
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:06,199
Speaker 1: I think change is hard for no matter what you do.

294
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 1: I think I learned that Alabama is just you get

295
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 1: a new offensive coordinator and you want it to be

296
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 1: as smooth as it can be. But sometimes there's a

297
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 1: little bit of bumps in the beginning and you work

298
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 1: through them and all that. So any change and anything,

299
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 1: whether that's you get a new job and you have

300
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 1: a new boss, whatever, I think there's gonna be. At

301
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 1: first there's change and then you're kind of like, all right,

302
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 1: you know, how can we work this through? And I

303
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:31,079
Speaker 1: think that's the biggest thing. And at this point we're

304
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 1: already past that. We know exactly what we have in

305
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 1: our room, and I trust the guys in our room,

306
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:38,200
Speaker 1: and I trust the coaches. It's just like I said,

307
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:41,560
Speaker 1: putting a better performance out there from our standpoint, and

308
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 1: really just coming together as a unit and playing for

309
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 1: each other more and showing more effort for each other

310
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:51,080
Speaker 1: than you can call any plays you want. As long

311
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 1: as we're on the same page, we'll be locked in

312
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 1: and ready to go. How many coordinators did you have

313
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:58,319
Speaker 1: in college? Was it? Was it? Three? Yeah? It was three? Right?

314
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:03,560
Speaker 1: Had I had, you know, Dayball, Locksley and Sark, So

315
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 1: I had three different guys and what all this? But

316
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 1: did they obviously put their own tweaks? Was it the

317
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:12,960
Speaker 1: same offense? What was it like in that situation? Yeah?

318
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 1: I think I mean, like I say, it's it's offensive football,

319
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 1: and that's in the past. But they all do their

320
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 1: own thing. I think every coach has their own They

321
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 1: have their own flavor to an offense, and that's what

322
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 1: makes them a good coach. So I was very fortunate

323
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 1: to learn from them and now learn from you know,

324
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 1: people here last year and then now the people we

325
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 1: have now. So it's been a good learning experience. And

326
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 1: like I said, I'm just trying to be a sponge

327
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 1: and soak it all up. All right, mac um, it's

328
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 1: been it's been great. Haven't you been here since? Person?
