1
00:00:01,960 --> 00:00:05,560
Speaker 1: You get to discover that that you run the same cities.

2
00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:09,879
Speaker 1: Is his wife has come up with her. Her cousin

3
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:12,160
Speaker 1: played on my on my high school football team. He

4
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 1: was actually my backup running back, so we're in the

5
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:17,279
Speaker 1: same backfield. So I knew her because she'd come to

6
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:24,520
Speaker 1: games back when we're in high school. Wow. Yeah, small world, Verry.

7
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 1: How important is that? Communication? Like outside relationships are very important?

8
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 1: You know? Uh, I think relationships help you have trust,

9
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 1: you know, on and off the field. You know, there's

10
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:47,880
Speaker 1: trust that's built through repetition in plays, but there's also

11
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 1: trust and respect that's built through you know, just cammaraderie

12
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 1: and relationship. That's the way do you see from jay

13
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 1: Z Jackson? Obviously you don't have a practice now when

14
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 1: you were prepared to play for the Eagles, and then

15
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 1: last year with the Raider of what was that guy

16
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 1: like on tape and how does he compared the guys

17
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:11,040
Speaker 1: see him? Competitive? Competitive? I also has a special skill

18
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 1: set for going to go get the football. He high

19
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 1: points it like a receiver. I think one of the

20
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:20,959
Speaker 1: things that we say is he's a defensive receiver. That's

21
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 1: what myself and Jacobe were saying on the sideline last game.

22
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 1: I think he does an amazing job of finding the

23
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 1: football and going to go get it. Does he remind

24
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 1: you that school American as a wide receiver? Did you

25
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:35,319
Speaker 1: get that involved from him? No, but I could see it.

26
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:37,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I think he does an amazing job. He

27
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 1: probably was a great fifty fifty jump ball guy. That's

28
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: when it comes to the explosive having you guys have

29
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: been able to connect on a ton of those one, Um,

30
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 1: why do you think that is? Why? Why is this

31
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: offense sort of a shorter growing up? That's not really

32
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: what this offense is. That's just so far what you've seen.

33
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 1: You know, we're working, we're preparing to do whatever we

34
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 1: need to do. And I think that there are a

35
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,360
Speaker 1: lot of guys that are capable of doing multiple things,

36
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 1: and each week different opportunities to present themselves. And I

37
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: don't really think you have to force things. I think

38
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 1: you take what's there. And we have a very calculated

39
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:27,839
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator and we have a very calculated offense. So

40
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:31,239
Speaker 1: what's there is what we need to take and eventually

41
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: those big plays will be there. It takes it takes

42
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 1: some patience, but it's about just working, working the defense

43
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 1: that dictates when that explosive plays there. You know what

44
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like, if they give you it, then you

45
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 1: go take it. You don't force it because bad things

46
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:51,920
Speaker 1: happen when you try to force things in this game.

47
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,920
Speaker 1: What have you notice from Mac like as a rookie

48
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,399
Speaker 1: to take that, you know, to not try to take

49
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 1: what's not there? Do you know what I mean? I

50
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 1: think he's very coachable. He's uh, he's coming here and

51
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 1: he's learned what the coaches are telling him and what

52
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 1: they're teaching him. He's watching the game, he's being patient

53
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 1: with the football, and he's doing his job. You know.

54
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: Every day a lot has asked of him, and I

55
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: think the coaches do a good job of preparing him.

56
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:25,639
Speaker 1: And it's a lot of respect to him for being

57
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:32,639
Speaker 1: so coachable. Good here, and they don't talk one back

58
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: day system for you head again two week three? You know,

59
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 1: how was that process gone? Where do you feel like

60
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 1: you're at? You're playing you know the play, which is

61
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: how was the accolation process that you're starting. It's going well,

62
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 1: but there's more work to be done every day. You know.

63
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: I try to study very hard, like beginner's mentality. If

64
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 1: I need flash cards. I use flash cards, ask questions,

65
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 1: and just get yourself prepared to play games. You know

66
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Each week, that's the goal. Do everything

67
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 1: you can so that on Sunday, you know you're playing

68
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 1: fast in the first two games that teams are playing,

69
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: safety of your vertical rounds, and what do you do

70
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:17,160
Speaker 1: when you see the safety over the top as your

71
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,600
Speaker 1: mindset change R I have to do my job. It

72
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 1: doesn't really matter, you know. If my job is to

73
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,479
Speaker 1: run fast down the field, that's my job. My job

74
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: is to cut in, to cut in. You know, defenses

75
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 1: will do what they have to do. It's not my

76
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 1: job to try to alter what's asked of me because

77
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:39,159
Speaker 1: of the defense's coverage, you know. So that's how I

78
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,280
Speaker 1: look at it. And at the end of the day,

79
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 1: if they are doing that, like we just said earlier,

80
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 1: now we must take what they're giving us. You know,

81
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:48,919
Speaker 1: they want to play and you know, kind of a

82
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:50,600
Speaker 1: cover two shells, then we got to take with their

83
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:58,480
Speaker 1: given us. It comes to Josh's game plan, well, I

84
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,720
Speaker 1: mean to be honest with you, like that's cool and

85
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: all if he was seeking my input, but you're talking

86
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 1: about a very very special coach. You know, I think

87
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,599
Speaker 1: he watches what I why I do well, you know,

88
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: he watches me, tries to communicate with me about how

89
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 1: he sees things unraveling when he watches the tape. But hate,

90
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 1: I need to ask me. That's a very intelligent man

91
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 1: that's been doing this for a long time and he's

92
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 1: had a lot of success. So I'm just grateful that

93
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 1: even you know, puts me in position to do whatever

94
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: good before you got here before. While I will not

95
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 1: sit here and compare anybody, but just talking about Josh,

96
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 1: I think he's a very intelligent coach. He's super intelligent.

97
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 1: You know, he puts guys in position to be successful.

98
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 1: And he also understands not only protection, you know, blitz coverages.

99
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 1: He looks at the whole thing. You know, he has

100
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 1: an oct predict, not predict, but understand how the defenses

101
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 1: are attacking you at all three levels. So I definitely

102
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,040
Speaker 1: being here and watching him, that's something I have a

103
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:12,040
Speaker 1: lot of respect for. And he teaches us that, you know,

104
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 1: he teaches us how the defense planned to attack you

105
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:21,479
Speaker 1: and how offensively we will attack them. I guess what

106
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 1: is you sound just really blown away. I haven't worked

107
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 1: with Josh, how is actually working with him compared to

108
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,360
Speaker 1: your expectations when you first signed here what it would

109
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:33,160
Speaker 1: be like. I didn't have expectations. Yeah, I didn't really

110
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:38,159
Speaker 1: have any expectations. I think to have, you know, the

111
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 1: greatest coach of all time, Bill Belichick call you and

112
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:43,279
Speaker 1: tell you he want you to be a part of

113
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:47,479
Speaker 1: something special. That was enough. And then obviously I've seen

114
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 1: this offense and I've seen the way that they attack defenses.

115
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 1: So I'm super happy with just to work with him

116
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 1: because I think I learned more as a player, you know,

117
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 1: if I just not even from just former standpoint, I

118
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:02,840
Speaker 1: think as just a player that's a fan of the

119
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:07,160
Speaker 1: game of football. I learned a lot more by seeing

120
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 1: how he sees things or hearing how he thinks he

121
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: sees things. Appreciate you, guys,
