1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,000
Speaker 1: Sitting here in front of us is one Mac Jones,

2
00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:04,240
Speaker 1: been a couple of weeks since you've been home. Obviously

3
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:06,280
Speaker 1: a tough one last night. I guess I'm just sort

4
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:08,959
Speaker 1: of like a wellness check. Like after that game. That's

5
00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:11,600
Speaker 1: a lot of Patriot fans were sort of left silence

6
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:14,680
Speaker 1: at the end of that one. Uh, are you okay

7
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:19,080
Speaker 1: after that loss? Yeah? I think, Um, it's definitely a

8
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:21,240
Speaker 1: tough one for us, But at the end of the day,

9
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:23,759
Speaker 1: you just gotta do like you do every week and

10
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 1: evaluate yourself and evaluate for us the offense and what

11
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 1: we can do better. So, UM, it's hard to look

12
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:32,200
Speaker 1: at it like that, but this is what you gotta

13
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 1: do in that situation. And um, definitely a tough one,

14
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 1: but fought hard and um came up short. So I

15
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:41,960
Speaker 1: gotta bounce back here a short week and and have

16
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 1: a better performance. Yeah, I would say, like the wellness

17
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:46,560
Speaker 1: check is fine. The first thing he says to me,

18
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:48,879
Speaker 1: he starts ripping on my sweats. I want to say,

19
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:55,319
Speaker 1: what's wrong with these sweats? Mac? Look like they're from

20
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 1: like two thousands. Don't you have a well? I think

21
00:00:57,920 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 1: they are from two thousand and three, But don't you

22
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 1: have like a a comfy sweats that like, would you

23
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 1: put them in? It's just like that. It's like, you know,

24
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 1: the smell of like chocolate chips. Yeahs my depression. Would

25
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:13,040
Speaker 1: you like to borrow them? You know? So I guess

26
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 1: you know, well, let's check. I'm sure, like, where is that?

27
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 1: Everybody's fine? You guys are just moving on, but there's

28
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,479
Speaker 1: is there any just man, we let this one get

29
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:22,679
Speaker 1: away because I feel like that's gonna be the hardest thing.

30
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 1: How do you just bury this football and move on?

31
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 1: Is it because you you still have, like, you know,

32
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: your goals in front of you with making the playoffs? Yeah,

33
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,679
Speaker 1: I think it's a it's a mentality and it's all

34
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 1: part of your mental game is just how do you,

35
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: whether you win or lose, how do you move on

36
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 1: to the next week? And some weeks it's harder to

37
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 1: do than others, right, but this one especially just flip

38
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 1: the switch and and just got to roll through and

39
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 1: watch the film, which we've done and now we're kind

40
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 1: of onto the next week here. So um, it's the

41
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: same process every week, and different games apply differently, you

42
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: know how they end or was it close? Was it not?

43
00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 1: You know? But at the end of the day, it's

44
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 1: all about watching the film and talking, communicating and coaches, players, everybody.

45
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: So that's what we're gonna do and that's what we've

46
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,399
Speaker 1: done today. So that's all you can ask for. So

47
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 1: you said that Jacoby is one of is a good

48
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: friend of yours off the field, and Romandre obviously close

49
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 1: to you two on the offense. Have you talked to

50
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 1: them today and do you have anything any experiences kind

51
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,359
Speaker 1: of in a final play or something like that that

52
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:25,360
Speaker 1: you've had in your own football career where you've been

53
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: able to say, you know, like, hey, you'll move on

54
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:32,239
Speaker 1: from this and counsel them. I guess yeah. I think

55
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:36,079
Speaker 1: everyone has those experiences. And it's tough, right. I Mean,

56
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 1: they're both super competitive guys, me too, and it doesn't

57
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: come down to that last play. I think when we

58
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 1: watch the film, there's so many things we could have

59
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,239
Speaker 1: done to not even be in that situation. So it's

60
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: hard to even talk about and stuff. But those guys

61
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: are competitive and they're gonna just like us or just

62
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 1: like me and everybody else in the room, We're gonna

63
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 1: move on from it and learn from it, and that's

64
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: all you can do, right it's in the past and

65
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:00,919
Speaker 1: we're all out there giving it everything we got. And

66
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,359
Speaker 1: those guys especially are two of our our best players,

67
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 1: and um, I love those guys and we're gonna grow

68
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:09,799
Speaker 1: from it and move on. Talking to Mac Jones Mac

69
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 1: after that game, obviously Bill's not happy either, right, nobody's pleased.

70
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,919
Speaker 1: They asked him about the final play and the comment

71
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: at the time was, couldn't throw it that far? You know,

72
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 1: you guys were forty five today. He came on, It's

73
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: like no, you know, he kind of jumped in. It

74
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 1: was like, no, it was just too far to try

75
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 1: a hail Mary. Do you think it was, um, fifty

76
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 1: five yards? You know, I think we, you know, obviously

77
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 1: have a plan in that situation. You have to think

78
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 1: about everything that's in that situation. And that's something that

79
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: he did and that's his job and he's he's done

80
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: that for a long time. But you know, whatever the

81
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 1: play call is, I'm going to run in and do

82
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: it the best I can. And if it was a

83
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: hill Mary, then it was a hill Mary. If it

84
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: was a run, it was a run. So that's what

85
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: I always tell myself, regardless of the situation, is what's

86
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: my job and how do I do it? And I

87
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 1: try to just keep it really simple. It's handed off,

88
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: throw it or run myself. So there's three options I

89
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 1: have and um, yeah, so I think it's one of

90
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 1: those things we got to learn from and too we

91
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 1: can do better. But there's a lot of things that

92
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 1: go into it beyond just to throw itself. Um, there's

93
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 1: there's other things that go in. Do you know how

94
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: far you can throw it? Yeah? Is there a number

95
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: in your mind? Yeah? I know. My number is in sixty.

96
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:23,600
Speaker 1: I guess we'll see under sixty. Have you ever played

97
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 1: the crossbar game? Yeah? Oh yeah, So what's the farther

98
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 1: you ever hit the crossbar from? Um, I don't know.

99
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,840
Speaker 1: I'd have to think about that. Probably sixty, yeah, right,

100
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:37,159
Speaker 1: probably so that you can measure you can measure it,

101
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 1: so like you don't even have to have a football,

102
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 1: but you can measure your arms. We don't need to

103
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 1: measure anything on this show. We do, yes, yes, so listen. Mac.

104
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 1: The other the other issue that I think a lot

105
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 1: of people are concerned with is just the overall which

106
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 1: seems to be like a clunky communication you know, uh,

107
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: you know, production, especially in the red zone. That one

108
00:04:58,080 --> 00:04:59,719
Speaker 1: series down. When you guys are down, it seems like

109
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 1: there's a lot of stuff going on. How do you

110
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 1: guys fix that? How do you how do you just

111
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,600
Speaker 1: play a clean game, especially when the circumstances are so

112
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,280
Speaker 1: you know important at that time. Yeah, I think it

113
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 1: comes down to just UM getting in the huddle and

114
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: calling the play and running it right. Um. It's really

115
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: that simple. And we just got to do that better

116
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 1: as players and come together and communicate better and UM,

117
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, it's us in the

118
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,480
Speaker 1: huddle and we got to make the decisions to um

119
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 1: get lined up and do all the right things. So

120
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 1: and as a quarterback, that definitely falls on me. Just

121
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 1: make sure we're operating quickly in practice in the game.

122
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,280
Speaker 1: And there's a lot of substitutions and things like that

123
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 1: that we were working through. So I just want to

124
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 1: clean all that stuff up. And it's just a problem

125
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:43,159
Speaker 1: every week and we just need to fix it. So

126
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 1: did you just clear something up for me because we're

127
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 1: having this debate the final play before everything went haywire,

128
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: the huddle call, handoff to remondrate, there's no there's no

129
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 1: discussion about ladderning it and you know, trying to make

130
00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 1: something crazy. It's just you're just calling the play right.

131
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 1: It's just nderstood that everyone's just going to run a play. Yeah,

132
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 1: I think it's it's a situation where everyone needs to

133
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:07,600
Speaker 1: be on the same page regardless of what you do, right.

134
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 1: And but we're not saying, hey, if you get tackled,

135
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 1: lateral it like you know. Yeah, I think that's definitely

136
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 1: a coach Belichick question. I mean, this is you have

137
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,279
Speaker 1: a plan right for the play, you go executed, and

138
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,280
Speaker 1: then you know you got to watch the film and

139
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 1: look at it. And that's what we did. And there's

140
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 1: different things you could do in that situation. And I

141
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 1: know that we wanted to try and get it to

142
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 1: overtime and try and make it work. But at the

143
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,359
Speaker 1: end of the day, we're doing what's best for the

144
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: team and trying to win. It's hard, right, There's a

145
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 1: lot that goes into it, but there's you just have

146
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 1: to look back on it and learn from it and see,

147
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 1: all right, we could have done this or this or that,

148
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 1: and so when it comes up again, that's all you

149
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:51,159
Speaker 1: can do is just execute it right. Uh, did notice

150
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 1: you taking a few more shots down field than you

151
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:58,039
Speaker 1: had with the offense against Arizona and Buffalo. Was that

152
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,159
Speaker 1: something that you wanted to contribute to the game plan

153
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 1: during practice in the week leading up to the game. Yeah,

154
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,919
Speaker 1: I like throwing the ball down field, and um, I think,

155
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 1: as I always say, you got to be able to

156
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 1: do all three, keep the defense honest, and um, yeah,

157
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: we just want to hit those. You know, sometimes when

158
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 1: you have a long foul ball, there's some merit to it,

159
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 1: but you really want to hit the long home run, right,

160
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 1: So yeah, it was so nice. I didn't want to

161
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 1: hit another one for a long time. But you know

162
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, like you can, you can do it,

163
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 1: and you want to be able to hit those explosive plays,

164
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 1: and um, every defense is different how you attack and

165
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: things like that, so it just varies week to week.

166
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 1: But I do enjoy doing that, and um have done

167
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 1: it in the past in college and all that stuff too,

168
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 1: So it's things that I have experienced with and same

169
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 1: with the guys on our team. Um, we have great

170
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 1: receivers and running backs and tight ends and our lines

171
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 1: playing really well and doing a great job. So um,

172
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 1: we just got to attack each week. However, the game

173
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 1: plan says, so talking to mac Jones and obviously you

174
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 1: guys you know, have had some struggles in the red zone,

175
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 1: and that one trip in the red zone, I think

176
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 1: kind of encapsulated all of it. Like we just as

177
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 1: a fan watching it, it was you know, the past

178
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 1: that Johanno in the corner and then it was miscu

179
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 1: meet the time out that was called them but seemed

180
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 1: like a perfect play you know, that worked. But the

181
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 1: frustration level, I think that sort of reach an all

182
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 1: time high because you were so close and for me personally,

183
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 1: it was like, dude, you get Romandre back there, just

184
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 1: give it to him four times. Yeah, I think everyone

185
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 1: has their own opinion. Right at the end of the day,

186
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 1: it's just how do we clean up the execution. It's

187
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 1: the operation everything, and it starts with me as a quarterback,

188
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 1: right just make sure everyone's on the same page and

189
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 1: get lined up. And you know, we had the penalty

190
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 1: and stuff down there on the fourth down. It's just

191
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 1: it's just too hard to have penalties and things like

192
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:52,319
Speaker 1: that and try and score there. So however we got

193
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 1: to do it. We just want to score and we

194
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 1: just want to win. So that's what it comes down to.

195
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,199
Speaker 1: And I think if we get that there and you know,

196
00:08:58,240 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 1: I make a couple of better throws or whatever it

197
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 1: may be, then you know we're up. You know, we

198
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 1: get the touchdown there and see where it plays out

199
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 1: from there. So it's always the what f game? But um,

200
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 1: definitely want to clean it up. It's been a little

201
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 1: bit of an issue for us here and we know,

202
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 1: we know that and we've put emphasis on it. And

203
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 1: sometimes it's just the players don't go your way and

204
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,079
Speaker 1: that's just how it is. But at the end of

205
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,320
Speaker 1: the day, we got to clean up the execution and operation.

206
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 1: Oh to me, I thought it was up again. So

207
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow Cincinnati Bengals onto Cincinnati, what have you? You've

208
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,199
Speaker 1: already watched the film, so I'm assuming you've already kind

209
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 1: of have some idea what you're up against. What have

210
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:40,080
Speaker 1: you seen from them defensively, and what do you think

211
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 1: you guys have to do to get this win on Saturday. Yeah.

212
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 1: I think they they're a great defense. They're playing really

213
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 1: well right now, obviously played really well last year all

214
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,560
Speaker 1: the way through, and they have a high powered offense,

215
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:55,559
Speaker 1: so you have to understand the whole picture here, and

216
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 1: they do a lot of similar things that we do

217
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 1: on defense, but also have their own flavor, so another

218
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 1: good defense. At this point, it's just a really good

219
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 1: team that we're going against, and we got to play

220
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 1: our best sixty minutes here. You know, special teams offense,

221
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,200
Speaker 1: especially in the defense, and if we can put together

222
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:16,440
Speaker 1: our best sixty then we'll see where we're at. But

223
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:18,439
Speaker 1: it's a really good football team that we're about to

224
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:23,319
Speaker 1: go against. Matthew Slater, obviously super veteran of the team

225
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 1: after the games, said that it was really important that

226
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,440
Speaker 1: you guys not turn on each other after a loss

227
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 1: like yesterday's. How do you go about preventing that? I mean,

228
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:36,080
Speaker 1: there's obviously frustration coming off the field. How do you

229
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 1: leave it on the field and not have that kind

230
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 1: of bubble over? Yeah? I think, like you said, you

231
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 1: leave it all on the field and play your heart

232
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 1: out and do everything you can to win the game.

233
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 1: And sometimes you fall short even when you give your

234
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:51,079
Speaker 1: best effort or play your best game. So sometimes the

235
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,840
Speaker 1: result doesn't go your way. But it's all about you

236
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 1: know the process of how do you get there and

237
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 1: throughout the week and all that stuff. So I feel

238
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:01,320
Speaker 1: like we have a very mature group of people that

239
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 1: we're all playing for each other, which is the most

240
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 1: important part and obviously to win, but it's hard. You

241
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:09,679
Speaker 1: want to look at the winning and the winning part

242
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 1: of it, but you also have to look at the

243
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 1: process part of it too. So you got to stick

244
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 1: to the process and the wins and everything will come.

245
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:21,080
Speaker 1: And that's a great advice from Slaters. Just come together.

246
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 1: You know, there's a lot of things that we could

247
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 1: pull apart from but we're not going to do that.

248
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 1: We're gonna come together and finish as strong as we

249
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,320
Speaker 1: can and that starts with this week and then see

250
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 1: where we're at and play the next week for the

251
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,840
Speaker 1: next week. But all we can focus on is is

252
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 1: this week and playing a really good football team. We're

253
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,559
Speaker 1: talking to Mac, I can only imagine, you know, frustration.

254
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:42,560
Speaker 1: I know you always talk about your perfectionists and you

255
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:44,560
Speaker 1: want things down. You want to be winning more football games,

256
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:46,719
Speaker 1: and I think Patriot fans feel the same way. It's

257
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,439
Speaker 1: like every week you hear from you are the players

258
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:50,560
Speaker 1: that are like, you know, we just got to be

259
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 1: more consistent, We just got to be better, stick with

260
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,439
Speaker 1: the process. But you know, it's week sixteen, so I

261
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 1: can imagine how we're fans. This is your job. Yeah,

262
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 1: this is your life. This is what you do. I

263
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:05,359
Speaker 1: can only imagine the frustration that after fifteen weeks OTAs

264
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 1: and training camp it's still some of the same mistakes

265
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 1: that that's got to be extremely frustrating for a guy

266
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 1: that wants everything perfect. Yeah, I think, Um, it's just

267
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 1: a big test to your mental your mental game, and

268
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,440
Speaker 1: that's you know, there's a physical game and there's a

269
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 1: game of football, but you also have to work through

270
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 1: all those things and and don't quit. Just keep working

271
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 1: and eventually things will go your way through work. And

272
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 1: that's all you can ask for um as a team,

273
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 1: as an individual player, just come together. It's it's all

274
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 1: about the guys in the locker room. And we have

275
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 1: a good group and we're not gonna, you know, turn

276
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:41,080
Speaker 1: on each other anything like that. We're gonna fight for

277
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 1: each other and lay play the game as if it's

278
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 1: a child's game and that's what it is, and come

279
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 1: together and play the game that we love, regardless of

280
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 1: if we're in the NFL or in Pop Warner. So, Um,

281
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 1: that's kind of the mindset you have to have and

282
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 1: just keep fighting and keep working through the problems. There's

283
00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 1: always a solution to every problem and or whatever you

284
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 1: want to call it. But it's just it's just working

285
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 1: through all those things. So we're definitely you know where

286
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 1: it's it is later on the season, but that never stops.

287
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 1: Whether you're having a really really good year or really

288
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 1: not so good year. You're trying to work through all

289
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,200
Speaker 1: the things that you can to do better. All right,

290
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 1: So it's time for the quarterback question in the week

291
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,440
Speaker 1: before I ask you my last question of the year

292
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 1: for us. Um, you know, you're ripping my sweats, and

293
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:27,480

Speaker 1: here with no bull sweats, right, you think we'd get
