1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,320 Speaker 1: Mac, are you doing lowing? Christian? Here, I'm doing good. 2 00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:04,440 Speaker 1: How are you guys? Good? Good? We're doing good. Listen 3 00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:07,080 Speaker 1: to another another tough loss at home, but you feel 4 00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:09,760 Speaker 1: like offensively, it's it's kind of you guys are getting close, 5 00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:13,720 Speaker 1: getting close to finishing these games. Yeah, I think, Um, 6 00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:16,360 Speaker 1: when you watch the film and just look at it, 7 00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:19,680 Speaker 1: it just comes down to doing the hard things right. 8 00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:23,400 Speaker 1: And it's two or three plays that we just need 9 00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:26,320 Speaker 1: to whether it's me or whoever, I think we just 10 00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:28,880 Speaker 1: need to kind of flip the switch and realize that 11 00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:33,400 Speaker 1: we're close. But um, you know, close is never good enough. 12 00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:37,800 Speaker 1: But at the same time, we can't be distracted by results. 13 00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:40,800 Speaker 1: We just have to focus on the process and what's 14 00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:43,880 Speaker 1: worked for us. And I think we're starting to make 15 00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:47,480 Speaker 1: strides and um, you know, it's tough because you lose, 16 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:49,839 Speaker 1: but at the same time, you just kind of focus 17 00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:53,120 Speaker 1: on what we can do better. So Mac, just um, 18 00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:55,520 Speaker 1: because we all want to do a health check on you. 19 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:57,959 Speaker 1: That hit that you took. Have you ever been hit 20 00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 1: that hard before? Like career scene? Yeah, I have, you know. 21 00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:04,679 Speaker 1: I just turned around and looked at my reads and 22 00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:07,120 Speaker 1: he just he had to jump on the snap count 23 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:10,240 Speaker 1: and it kind of just was unfortunate because it almost 24 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,480 Speaker 1: like he timed up my cadence. So, UM, I think 25 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,240 Speaker 1: that's something that I can address and work on and 26 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:18,280 Speaker 1: um just so we have a little bit of a 27 00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 1: changeup and m Yeah, he was there and I wish 28 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:24,280 Speaker 1: I held under the ball, and you know, it's just 29 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,520 Speaker 1: one of those bang bang plays and those happened all 30 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:28,760 Speaker 1: the time, and I think go off into line did 31 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,679 Speaker 1: a good job protecting me. It wasn't maybe that one 32 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,200 Speaker 1: play one time when the guy just made a good play, 33 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,560 Speaker 1: you know, mac is it? Um, there's an obvious physical 34 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 1: tool that you know players go through, but for first 35 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,919 Speaker 1: year players, there's a mental fatigue. I think that takes 36 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,840 Speaker 1: place just you know, the length of the season, the 37 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 1: demands on during the day, and for a guy like 38 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,880 Speaker 1: you that's been used to winning like and everywhere everywhere 39 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 1: he's been, it's the losing Like is that kind of 40 00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:58,120 Speaker 1: is that kind of getting to you just you know, 41 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 1: just you know, preparing, putting everything into it and then 42 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 1: not getting the w. Yeah. I think just any competitor 43 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,399 Speaker 1: in any sport, they want to the goal is to win, 44 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,679 Speaker 1: but a lot of competitors they just love the process 45 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,240 Speaker 1: of trying to get the win, whether that's throughout the 46 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 1: week or in the offseason, and the best competitors in 47 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 1: the world, like the Michael Jordan's, etc. They just love 48 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:27,960 Speaker 1: the process of working out and studying and preparing. And 49 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,080 Speaker 1: I don't think they ever really think about the wins 50 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 1: until they win and they realize, you know, it's worked, 51 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,240 Speaker 1: and when they lose, they just continue to do what 52 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,120 Speaker 1: they've done to put themselves in a good position to win. 53 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 1: So I think it's more about the process and figuring 54 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,680 Speaker 1: out what works for me works for our team. We 55 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,240 Speaker 1: don't want to look back, but I think the games 56 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 1: we've lost, they're just super close. One play here or 57 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,639 Speaker 1: there and our record would say something completely different. But 58 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 1: it's just the National Football League and the margin for 59 00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,920 Speaker 1: air is so slim that you just have to be 60 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 1: on the a game. You know. I'm young and I'm 61 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 1: starting to realize that. So their sense of urgency just 62 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 1: needs to improve by me and whatever way I can 63 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:12,079 Speaker 1: help the team, just improve in that area. And Mac 64 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 1: take me through that Born seventy five yard touchdown. Did 65 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:16,919 Speaker 1: you guys feel like you kind of had Trayvon dig 66 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 1: set up for that double move? Yeah? I think we 67 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:22,920 Speaker 1: just called that play and we needed a big play 68 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,360 Speaker 1: and KB ran a good route and I had plenty 69 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 1: of time with the offensive line to maybe get throw 70 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 1: and stuff, and he made the play. And I think, 71 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 1: you know, the other important thing was we finished that 72 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 1: drive the two point and we just had to keep playing. 73 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 1: And you know, sometimes things on get your way, but 74 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 1: at least we put ourselves in a position to play 75 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 1: well and put ourselves in the lead. And yeah, I mean, 76 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 1: that's all you can ask yourself to do is just 77 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 1: focus on my reads and get the ball out of 78 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,320 Speaker 1: the playmakers and let them do what they do. How 79 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 1: about that the pick six? It looked like you wanted 80 00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 1: to get rid of the ball quick, and maybe did 81 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:00,840 Speaker 1: you not have a rip on it looks like you 82 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 1: just wanted to get rid of it quick. I definitely 83 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 1: could have made a better throw, but it was the 84 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 1: exact look we wanted. So I don't know, I just 85 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 1: need to calm my feet down and step into my 86 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 1: throw and deliver a good throw and allow the guys 87 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 1: to run with the ball. So just some of my 88 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,680 Speaker 1: shorter throws were just a little off, And I'll definitely 89 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,799 Speaker 1: make that a point of emphasis this week. My drops 90 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,279 Speaker 1: and stuff have been better on the deep stuff, but 91 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 1: I need to improve on the short, quick game stuff. 92 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,479 Speaker 1: So something I can work on and focus on and 93 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 1: go back to what I've been taught and trust my 94 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 1: training and just step into the throw and make it. 95 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 1: So I saw right after that, I think everybody saw 96 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 1: kind of build go over there and talk to you 97 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 1: a little bit. What was that message? I think, just 98 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:48,159 Speaker 1: keep playing and head up, and I mean, you know, 99 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,480 Speaker 1: it's just part of the game. Of course, you don't 100 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,919 Speaker 1: want to throw a pick six, but you know, you 101 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 1: got to bounce back. And of course I was pissed 102 00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:00,799 Speaker 1: at first, but I kind of just clean my my brain, 103 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 1: just hit the reset button and that's what I'll always do. 104 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,360 Speaker 1: And I've worked really hard at that, and everyone of 105 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:10,359 Speaker 1: our team had my back, so that's important. They're they're 106 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,600 Speaker 1: excited to get back out there and try and get 107 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,160 Speaker 1: a game running drive and stuff. So yeah, so just 108 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 1: back to that last play and let it go. But 109 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 1: how important was it for you to after that play 110 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 1: after Trayvon Diggs runs it back for a touchdown, the 111 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,280 Speaker 1: game completely seems that, you know, the momentum is totally switched, 112 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:31,800 Speaker 1: has changed and Josh calls a pass play to the 113 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 1: towards the same guy that just picked it off, Like, 114 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,360 Speaker 1: is there any apprehensions of any anxiety with you at 115 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 1: all with that or are you how are you feeling well? 116 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:44,600 Speaker 1: I felt good. Um we had called that and um 117 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 1: throughout the week we worked it and it just happened 118 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 1: to hit the right way and I actually could have 119 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,839 Speaker 1: held the safety a little more, but um, it was fine. 120 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 1: And KB made a good playing and said and we 121 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 1: had plenty of time and there was just a perfect 122 00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 1: call at the time for what we were looking for. 123 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 1: And I try not to, you know, focus on a 124 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,840 Speaker 1: play that just happened. So I think I was open 125 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 1: and he slipped them, then I'm going to throw him 126 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,679 Speaker 1: the ball, regardless of who's covering him. And Tray Vaughn's 127 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 1: a great player, and he made the play him the 128 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 1: play before, and then we got him on the next ones, 129 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 1: so there was UM, there was a there was a 130 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 1: certain time in the in the game where you had 131 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,279 Speaker 1: I think that Josh or somebody called time out and 132 00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 1: he seemed really frustrated. I think you mouthed something like 133 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 1: I got it. Um was that because of the of 134 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 1: they didn't think you knew what was going on, and 135 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 1: you wanted to make sure they knew that you understood 136 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:39,599 Speaker 1: what needed to happen. What was what was that sequence? Like, Yeah, 137 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 1: I just had a little alarm go off in my 138 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 1: head that you know, I didn't like what I was seeing. 139 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,919 Speaker 1: So Josh just always tells me, you know, it's not 140 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,279 Speaker 1: a big deal to take a time out, and UM 141 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,480 Speaker 1: just went over there and talks it out with him, 142 00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:55,039 Speaker 1: and then I went back out there and played the 143 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 1: next play. But I think that's something that you know, 144 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,240 Speaker 1: maybe in college, you know how the authority to do 145 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:02,720 Speaker 1: that all the time, just call it time out. But 146 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 1: if we have them, you know, maybe not in the 147 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 1: second half, but in the first half, just take them, 148 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 1: especially when we're in the second quarter, and if it's 149 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,120 Speaker 1: not the lucky one, then to take time out and 150 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 1: talk it through. And you shouldn't feel bad about it, 151 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 1: you know that feeling. I don't know how it applies 152 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 1: to y'all, but when you just feel like something's not right, 153 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 1: you just want to call the time out and just 154 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 1: gather yourself and figure everything out. So Matt could take 155 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 1: me through that in overtime that third and three. I 156 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 1: believe it's a back shoulder maybe to adgmore do you 157 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,000 Speaker 1: have you know, fourth and three, you're at the point 158 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 1: where you can sit there and say no, no, no, 159 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 1: let's go for this. Is there any discussion at all, 160 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 1: like did you want to go for it? I always 161 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,600 Speaker 1: leave that and the offense just leads it up to 162 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 1: the coaches. I mean, if they put us out there, 163 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 1: we of course we're going to do our best to convert. 164 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 1: But I think at that point in the game, obviously 165 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 1: coach has had a tons of experience and he's been 166 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 1: in that situation probably thousands of times, and you could 167 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 1: have converted that and then no one would even be 168 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 1: talking about it. And I definitely could have done a 169 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:02,920 Speaker 1: better job with that. I mean, there's other guys open 170 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 1: and I could have just made a better throw and 171 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 1: a lot of things can happen. But that just goes 172 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,560 Speaker 1: back to do mean the tough things right and just 173 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 1: every play you gotta hold yourself accountable. What is the 174 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:22,880 Speaker 1: entry into mac Jones's improvement diary this week? Yeah, I 175 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 1: think just improving my feet and my communication with the 176 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 1: offensive line, just making sure we're on the same play, um, 177 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 1: same page, rather um, you know, I think my feet 178 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 1: were a little out of whack, and I can definitely 179 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:39,720 Speaker 1: improve that, and I will with drills and all that stuff, 180 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,880 Speaker 1: and every week there's things I do to improve on that. 181 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,960 Speaker 1: And in terms of communication, just talking with the offensive 182 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,560 Speaker 1: line and making sure that we're on the same page. 183 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:51,440 Speaker 1: And I think we did a good job of that, 184 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,559 Speaker 1: but that's something that needs to improve every week. And 185 00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,840 Speaker 1: I think we'll do that in practice. And they've done 186 00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 1: a good job all year protecting me and we're getting 187 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,240 Speaker 1: better and better. So I think once we really have 188 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,839 Speaker 1: that full, full game, the results will come, like I said, 189 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,600 Speaker 1: and we just gotta keep working, you know, mac real quick. 190 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:11,840 Speaker 1: Earlier we were talking about that hit from Gregory. You 191 00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 1: said that you know you've you've been hit like that before. 192 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 1: Do you do you remember the hardest hit? Do you 193 00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 1: remember who hit you the hardest? Yeah? Who was it? 194 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 1: I can't remember specifics, But I think getting hit it's 195 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:26,720 Speaker 1: always fun, um because you know, it makes it more fun. 196 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:28,960 Speaker 1: That's part of the game and fun you're kind of nuts. 197 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:34,440 Speaker 1: That didn't looked like fun, man. The best part is 198 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,120 Speaker 1: getting back up and you know, being knowing that you're 199 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 1: fine and you can just go out there and keep playing, 200 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,199 Speaker 1: and sometimes you don't get hit all the time in 201 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:44,440 Speaker 1: practice obviously, so it's okay to get hit a little 202 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:46,720 Speaker 1: bit and and top back up and it kind of 203 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,080 Speaker 1: just adds a little bit of competitive juices to the 204 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:52,520 Speaker 1: whole situation. So um, the end of the day, it's 205 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:54,560 Speaker 1: part of the game, like I said, and the best 206 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 1: quarterbacks in the world, and I'll pop up quick and 207 00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:01,720 Speaker 1: play the next play. So damn Mac Jones, the Texas 208 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 1: SOB I think we've seen here in a long time. 209 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 1: All right, so it's it's time for the quarterback question 210 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,040 Speaker 1: of the week.
