1
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:08,200
Speaker 1: At captain. Yeah, man, it's a it's been an honor,

2
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:10,360
Speaker 1: I think, especially for me. Like I just look back

3
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:14,120
Speaker 1: at my first meeting, UM, being in there events as Mayo,

4
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:17,960
Speaker 1: as Logan, as Tom, as Slate and Slate had just

5
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,240
Speaker 1: been captain for the first time as well, And for me,

6
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 1: it was just learning from all of those guys and UM,

7
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 1: seeing how they saw the game, seeing how they saw

8
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 1: what we need to do as a team. UM. When

9
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:32,600
Speaker 1: I was a young I didn't think about that. I

10
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 1: thought about myself what I needed to do, UM, and

11
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 1: I think being in those meetings really opened my mind

12
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:40,239
Speaker 1: up to you know, specifically what we need to do

13
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:43,240
Speaker 1: as a defense in the secondary, how we needed to play.

14
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:45,199
Speaker 1: And then it was it's always been great for me

15
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 1: to hear the other side, UM, whether it was Tom

16
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 1: or Logan Mankins talk about, you know, what they needed

17
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 1: to do execution why so, UM, it's a great honor.

18
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 1: You know, anything that gets voted on by your peer

19
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 1: as your teammates, Uh, guys see leadership quality. He's in you.

20
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 1: I just try to live up to that and UM

21
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 1: be myself. I think that's been the biggest part in

22
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,039
Speaker 1: UH good. I'm still having fun and trying to lead

23
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 1: these guys. Your brother and you guys talk at all

24
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 1: that you go back and forth, any still be like, yeah, man,

25
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 1: we don't talk as much as usual. Probably, Um, we'll

26
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: probably have a lot of different stories after we play

27
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 1: each other that probably pertained to the game a little

28
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:28,040
Speaker 1: bit that we are we're not sharing, um, but I

29
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: saw he saw Mike tweeted and Jay Max already talking

30
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: trash and he tried to throw me under the bust

31
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 1: with it. So, um, it'll be a good time, and

32
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 1: I think especially for us as the season start to

33
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 1: add up anytime, you know, obviously had a lot of

34
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 1: fun playing together the last three years, but you know,

35
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 1: taking the field together, um as opponents, you know, anytime

36
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 1: just being together living out this dream. We know it's

37
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: dwindling down. So I think Sunday is gonna be a

38
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 1: lot of fun just personally, Um of you know, watching

39
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 1: him out, They're being out there together, family in the stands.

40
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a lot of fun. So we'll definitely, uh,

41
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 1: we'll say our pleasant trees in passing uh during the game,

42
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:14,519
Speaker 1: which will probably pretty funny. Yeah. I don't know what

43
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,799
Speaker 1: she plans, but they all know. Um, nobody's coming to

44
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: my house and Dolphin gear. So if you're coming to

45
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 1: my house this weekend, you're gonna have on the Patriots

46
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: gear that you've stored up over the last twelve seasons

47
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 1: and not the new Miami gear. They could take it

48
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 1: down to Miami. You've played two or last year at

49
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:33,679
Speaker 1: the end of the season, two f one hundred and

50
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 1: forty five yards five yards to her attempt. They're talking

51
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: about his growth. What have you seen from him? I

52
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 1: know it's not game playing specific, but what have you

53
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 1: seen from him in preseason that makes you believe or

54
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 1: disbelieve that? No, I think you know what we saw

55
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 1: last year. Even you know, I think in football a

56
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 1: lot of times you gotta look outside of the stats.

57
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: I think, you know, one hundred and forty five yards,

58
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 1: you're never gonna be like, man, that was a great

59
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 1: game for a quarterback. But I think over all, if

60
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 1: you just look at last year, his ability, especially when

61
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 1: you have all of the RPO type of plays, of

62
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 1: putting them in the right play, give when you're supposed

63
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 1: to give keeping and throw the RPO pass when you're

64
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 1: supposed to able to escape in the pocket down in

65
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 1: the red area. We came off the edge, made a

66
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 1: guy missed scores on a touchdown. So I think he

67
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 1: did that already last year, and I'm sure from watching

68
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: film and going over things, he's seeing things even better.

69
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,800
Speaker 1: And like you said, it's it's not as easy to

70
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 1: see some of that stuff in the preseason because a

71
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: lot of the stuff so vanilla. So he hey, obviously

72
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 1: sees that stuff. But I think you can definitely anticipate

73
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: as a player that he's gonna be better this year,

74
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: not only throwing the ball and knowing where you want

75
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 1: to go, but just getting them in all of the

76
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 1: right things depend on what we do defensively, so I

77
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: think that's something that we have to be ready for.

78
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: We gotta we talk about all the time. We can't

79
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 1: and we can't let it be easy for him. We

80
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: gotta try to make it as tough as possible as

81
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 1: a defense, and that's something that we try to do

82
00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: a weekend and week out of trying to figure out

83
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: what that is. Will be the challenge, but I'm sure

84
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 1: he'll be ready to go. Um, you know, anytime you're

85
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 1: playing the team open a week, you know you're preparing

86
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:12,119
Speaker 1: for him in some capacity. Since training camp started, so

87
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: I'm sure they'll be ready, no doubt about it. You know,

88
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 1: he's not you know, it's not it's not we're not

89
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 1: playing Lamar Jackson to that extent. But he's a guy

90
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 1: that you know, you watch him, he's able to buy

91
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:31,359
Speaker 1: time either take off and running or buy enough time,

92
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 1: get somewhere else in the pocket, get his eyes back

93
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 1: down field. Um. And he has really good arm talent

94
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 1: to be able to throw the ball across his body

95
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 1: and do different things like that. So um, keeping him

96
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: in the pocket and keeping him contained and not letting

97
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,720
Speaker 1: him extend plays, especially because of the type of skill

98
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: guys they have, you know, at any given moment, you know,

99
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 1: whether it's waddling there jachem grant part, like they just

100
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,479
Speaker 1: have so many weapons, um that you don't want to

101
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: be chasing guys for a seven or eight second play

102
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,039
Speaker 1: Like that's that's gonna be tough on us. Mac Jones

103
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,039
Speaker 1: gets ready to make his first stop. We all understand

104
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:06,719
Speaker 1: the history of that position here. Can he be a

105
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:10,839
Speaker 1: blessing to have that standard and also cursive the expectations.

106
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,040
Speaker 1: So you, as a teammate and as a football feem

107
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: curious to see how he responds. Yeah, I mean, I

108
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,239
Speaker 1: think that one good thing about Mac is he comes

109
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 1: from that. You know, he was, He's a guy, He's

110
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 1: at Alabama. I'm sure there's a lot of expectations and

111
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 1: different challenges. I mean, every year, those guys are expected

112
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 1: to be the number one team in the country to

113
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 1: win a national championship. So I think the best thing

114
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,279
Speaker 1: about him is he's coming here and he's just put

115
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 1: his head down and worked and he's earned a respect

116
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:38,919
Speaker 1: from all of his teammates with his work ethic and

117
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 1: its preparation. And that's all we're asking of them. To

118
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 1: go out there, have fun, play his game. We're working

119
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 1: on different things in practice, you know, I'm sure Dave

120
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 1: and Trent will know more about the offensive side, but

121
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:52,839
Speaker 1: just to go do do what we expect him to

122
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 1: do as a player, nothing more, nothing less. And I

123
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: think that's how veterans approached me when I was a rookie.

124
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,719
Speaker 1: And I know, like you said, you know, quarterback position,

125
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,719
Speaker 1: Tom Pire twenty, Like there's so much hype outside of

126
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 1: this building. Um, but I think he's done a good

127
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 1: job so far just focusing on, you know, what's going

128
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 1: on in here day to day, what we need to do.

129
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: To be a good football team and try to win games.

130
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 1: And he just has to stick to that to Sunday.

131
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 1: Not just him, you know, us as a team has

132
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 1: to stick to that him if this juncture isn't just

133
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:28,559
Speaker 1: just if it comes up in conversation, but I won't

134
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 1: like go up to him and be like, hey, you

135
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 1: know Tom Brady used to play here, Like I think

136
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,839
Speaker 1: he knows
