Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Kevin, how you doing doing well?
- 0:02Speaker 2: You pretty good?
- 0:04Speaker 3: Evan did the second half against Houston, and then the
- 0:06Speaker 3: second half yesterday Mac played played pretty well and did
- 0:11Speaker 3: what he had to do.
- 0:12Speaker 4: I'm just wondering if you have noticed any particular light
- 0:16Speaker 4: bulb going off for any particular improvement you've seen in
- 0:18Speaker 4: progress you've seen in Mac to where he kind of
- 0:21Speaker 4: has risen to the occasion in these last two games.
- 0:24Speaker 5: Yeah, I think I definitely think it's just kind of
- 0:28Speaker 5: everybody kind of settling in. Obviously we'd love to start
- 0:32Speaker 5: faster and get the ball rolling faster, but that's kind
- 0:36Speaker 5: of in the story for us on offense as during
- 0:39Speaker 5: the season is we kind of get going later in
- 0:41Speaker 5: the game. So uh, just I just I think it's
- 0:44Speaker 5: just credit to him. Just continue to battle. I'm continuing,
- 0:47Speaker 5: you know, to stay in the game, can continue to
- 0:49Speaker 5: overcome adversity and obviously overcoming bad plays and then staying
- 0:54Speaker 5: composed and the good plays, and Mac has done a
- 0:57Speaker 5: great job at that these past two weeks for sure.
- 1:01Speaker 3: And then winning by any score mean a lot mentally
- 1:04Speaker 3: to you guys, regardless of.
- 1:08Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, winning in this league is hard.
- 1:12Speaker 5: This season has been tough, so a win is a
- 1:15Speaker 5: win and we need to win badly and just probably
- 1:18Speaker 5: guys probably how we uh we finished yesterday and left
- 1:23Speaker 5: there with a win.
- 1:24Speaker 6: Thank you, Evin, appreciate you doing this. You mentioned before
- 1:30Speaker 6: how hard you know you guys work weekend and week out.
- 1:33Speaker 6: Was getting that win after you know, losing streak just
- 1:36Speaker 6: vindication of what you guys, the work you guys have
- 1:37Speaker 6: been putting in.
- 1:39Speaker 5: Yeah, that's that's what's made you know, the previous week
- 1:43Speaker 5: so tough and you know, not coming out with a
- 1:45Speaker 5: win and just you know.
- 1:48Speaker 1: I said all this week.
- 1:50Speaker 5: You know, obviously this season is tough, but guys are
- 1:53Speaker 5: still committing, Guys are still buying, and guys are still
- 1:56Speaker 5: coming here every single day trying to make it right.
- 1:58Speaker 2: And you know, uh, you know, you reap a good
- 2:01Speaker 2: harvest if you don't give up.
- 2:02Speaker 5: So yesterday it was a great was a great win
- 2:05Speaker 5: for us, and we're gonna look and look to continue
- 2:08Speaker 5: to finish and see what we can do in these next.
- 2:11Speaker 6: Four And then Brian is like eleven catches fifteen yards
- 2:15Speaker 6: away from like at least owning part of every like
- 2:18Speaker 6: receiving record as a rookie. Just how good is he?
- 2:21Speaker 6: And just how much, like how high is the ceiling
- 2:23Speaker 6: for him just in your eyes as a player and
- 2:25Speaker 6: a teammate.
- 2:26Speaker 5: Yeah, man, I mean, definitely one of the most polished
- 2:28Speaker 5: rookies I've ever been around. H very locked in, focused,
- 2:34Speaker 5: very very mature to be a rookie in this league,
- 2:38Speaker 5: especially at receiver. Definitely, Scott's a limit for him. He's
- 2:43Speaker 5: a He's a playmaker for us. He you know, he
- 2:47Speaker 5: has great releases, he runs great routes. He has really
- 2:50Speaker 5: a lot of really small, really good details on his game.
- 2:53Speaker 5: I like to say polished for a rookie is is
- 2:56Speaker 5: the perfect word. And I mean we've seen how explosive
- 3:00Speaker 5: he can be.
- 3:01Speaker 2: Probably I think he's still the fastest ball carrier this year.
- 3:04Speaker 5: Like the list can go on. The future is bright
- 3:07Speaker 5: for him. He's he's rolling right now. We got to
- 3:10Speaker 5: continue to keep getting the ball. He was a big
- 3:13Speaker 5: part of us our success in the second half as well.
- 3:15Speaker 2: Yes, say thanks a.
- 3:19Speaker 1: Go ahead, d ron.
- 3:22Speaker 7: Hey. And then it's it's no coincidences.
- 3:25Speaker 1: One that once you.
- 3:26Speaker 7: And and Brian kind of got you know, more involved
- 3:29Speaker 7: in the offense and that second half, the things started
- 3:32Speaker 7: to happen for you guys offensively and Doug mentioned something
- 3:35Speaker 7: in the post game about, you know, we've got to
- 3:37Speaker 7: get our playmakers the ball more and do it earlier.
- 3:41Speaker 1: So you know, I'm hoping that you would be.
- 3:44Speaker 7: Able to kind of expound on that and why you
- 3:46Speaker 7: know that offense needs you guys to kind of produce early.
- 3:51Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I think, uh, I mean that's that's
- 3:55Speaker 5: the I think that's the tale of football is you know,
- 3:58Speaker 5: you get and it's player it's the players and not plays.
- 4:02Speaker 5: It's you know, getting the ball to your playmakers and
- 4:05Speaker 5: getting into the rhythm.
- 4:07Speaker 2: Uh. And we got a lot we have.
- 4:09Speaker 5: We have you know Parker, Uh, we have BT, Brenton
- 4:14Speaker 5: is a weapon, you know, Lucas reliable option, myself is
- 4:18Speaker 5: in there. We got I mean, we have great we
- 4:21Speaker 5: have a great roster playmakers and obviously it's one football
- 4:25Speaker 5: so it kind of can get tough at times. But
- 4:28Speaker 5: we got to continue to build on that. And I
- 4:30Speaker 5: think as long as we continue to moving forward to
- 4:35Speaker 5: just you know, work to I guess, build off of
- 4:41Speaker 5: each other's success, I think that would be great for us.
- 4:45Speaker 5: You know, how can I how can I help b
- 4:47Speaker 5: T get opened on this concept? And then how can
- 4:49Speaker 5: how can we use bt to open up Parker? How
- 4:51Speaker 5: can I how can we use me to open up Brenton? Like,
- 4:53Speaker 5: just continue to build off of the talent we do have,
- 4:57Speaker 5: and I think once we, you know, continue to get
- 4:59Speaker 5: better at that, we'll find ourselves and more of a consistent,
- 5:01Speaker 5: better rhythm.
- 5:03Speaker 1: Thanks yep, go ahead, JP.
- 5:08Speaker 8: Hey Evin, you know, frustrating season obviously for you personally,
- 5:13Speaker 8: it's got to be. But is there anything down the
- 5:15Speaker 8: stretch here that you can do to to kind of
- 5:18Speaker 8: ease that statistically? Any other goals personally for you out
- 5:23Speaker 8: there this last month or no.
- 5:26Speaker 5: I mean, obviously I would love to continue to get
- 5:29Speaker 5: the football and make plays and put my team in
- 5:31Speaker 5: great position. But I've definitely, uh definitely found myself in
- 5:36Speaker 5: a lot of a lot of situations to help out
- 5:39Speaker 5: some of these young guys, Pour into them, uh you know,
- 5:42Speaker 5: share some of my wisdom with them, give them some
- 5:45Speaker 5: of the expedited experience to help them come along, and
- 5:51Speaker 5: at the end of the day, that's going to make
- 5:52Speaker 5: our team better. So obviously I'm going to continue to
- 5:54Speaker 5: show up what my numbers called. You know, I hope
- 5:57Speaker 5: that my number can continue to call be called a
- 5:59Speaker 5: lot for sure, But any chance I can get to
- 6:02Speaker 5: pour into these young guys and help them develop their
- 6:06Speaker 5: game and develop their craft and become more confident players.
- 6:10Speaker 2: That's that's a big that's.
- 6:11Speaker 5: A big mission for me to finish the year and
- 6:15Speaker 5: obviously continue to do that to try to win out,
- 6:19Speaker 5: try to win these next.
- 6:20Speaker 8: Four year eight for you in the league, At what
- 6:22Speaker 8: point did you start to feel that as a as
- 6:25Speaker 8: a veteran, wait a minute, I've got to teach some
- 6:27Speaker 8: younger guys now.
- 6:28Speaker 5: Yeah, honestly, man is Honestly, this season this year was
- 6:33Speaker 5: just I've you know, I just felt how eager these
- 6:37Speaker 5: guys are to learn. And this year I could just
- 6:41Speaker 5: tell I could just kind of tell they're they're honestly
- 6:43Speaker 5: genuinely listening.
- 6:46Speaker 2: And uh, and really when I was hurt.
- 6:47Speaker 5: Those those those four weeks, Uh, there was many many
- 6:52Speaker 5: instances I helped Brenton with a lot of things and
- 6:54Speaker 5: gave him some tips and then he'd go out and
- 6:56Speaker 5: do it in the game and work and just you know,
- 6:58Speaker 5: that feeling very addicting as a as.
- 7:02Speaker 2: A veteran player helping young guys be successful.
- 7:06Speaker 5: So just kind of, you know, kept it rolling from there,
- 7:09Speaker 5: and uh, and honestly, I'm learning from them as well.
- 7:11Speaker 5: I've been running game. It's like I've been really a
- 7:14Speaker 5: lot better this year in the run game. And it's
- 7:17Speaker 5: because of Brentin, It's because of Louke. Just you know,
- 7:19Speaker 5: the example they set in the detail they set in
- 7:21Speaker 5: the run game has helped a lot. So it's a
- 7:25Speaker 5: universal thing. Definitely blessed to.
- 7:27Speaker 2: Be in that position.
- 7:31Speaker 1: All Right, We're gonna go ahead and end with.
- 7:32Speaker 9: Mark No a little off topic, but ole mess coming
- 7:36Speaker 9: to the Gator bawl do you? I mean, how many
- 7:39Speaker 9: times you've seen them play since your days? And I
- 7:42Speaker 9: don't know that you have you seen him on the
- 7:44Speaker 9: road at all? And well you get excited for them
- 7:46Speaker 9: playing in your stadium on was it January second? I
- 7:49Speaker 9: guess that's a Thursday.
- 7:50Speaker 1: You might be able to sneak away. Yeah, I mean
- 7:53Speaker 1: I've I've been.
- 7:54Speaker 2: I've been back to Oxford a couple of times since
- 7:57Speaker 2: I left.
- 7:58Speaker 5: It's been it's been the kind of tough because normally
- 8:01Speaker 5: they're they're either on the road and when I'm on
- 8:04Speaker 5: the bye week, and you know, if I ever go
- 8:07Speaker 5: watch and plays normally just back in Oxford. But yeah,
- 8:10Speaker 5: it'd be cool. I definitely stopped by and uh and
- 8:12Speaker 5: supporting them. Definitely wish we were in the big dance
- 8:18Speaker 5: that everybody is excited about this year, but it's the SEC.
- 8:22Speaker 5: It's a gauntlet and you know, stuff happens. So definitely
- 8:26Speaker 5: excited for them to get in Jacksonville and be able
- 8:28Speaker 5: to stop by and support them and uh and maybe
- 8:31Speaker 5: watch a good football game.
- 8:32Speaker 3: Hey Buster, what are you doing?
- 8:33Speaker 1: Hey, I'm doing good.
- 8:35Speaker 3: Wester graveson field. For the defense to have come through
- 8:38Speaker 3: the way you did yesterday where the offense absolutely had
- 8:42Speaker 3: to have you make stops and the way you did
- 8:45Speaker 3: on fourth down situations and everything, is that a feeling
- 8:48Speaker 3: you guys, you think and capture and carry all through
- 8:51Speaker 3: the end of the year.
- 8:52Speaker 10: Yeah, we definitely, you definitely can You know, we had
- 8:55Speaker 10: a great week of practice and you know they carried over.
- 8:58Speaker 10: You know, we had a good game plan for this
- 8:59Speaker 10: game and it worked out.
- 9:03Speaker 1: And then what do you think in the past.
- 9:06Speaker 11: You know, let's say the Houston game a couple of
- 9:08Speaker 11: weeks ago, where you guys had to make a stop
- 9:10Speaker 11: and you know, you didn't. Was there any anything he
- 9:14Speaker 11: did in particular that was different other than the fact
- 9:17Speaker 11: that you executed things worked out.
- 9:21Speaker 10: It wasn't really different. You know, they ended up executing
- 9:23Speaker 10: and making plays.
- 9:25Speaker 1: Okay, thanks go ahead, John Shipley, Hey, well sir, thanks
- 9:32Speaker 1: for doing this.
- 9:33Speaker 6: Just you know, can you talk about what Jarian's kind
- 9:36Speaker 6: of his development's been like this year from your perspective
- 9:39Speaker 6: and just the kind of impact he had on the
- 9:40Speaker 6: game yesterday?
- 9:42Speaker 1: Man, Jarian, Man, he's a great dude.
- 9:44Speaker 10: Man, he steadied growing and he always willing to learn,
- 9:47Speaker 10: you know, Easton every day, and man, his his growth
- 9:50Speaker 10: is just it's incredible. You know, he's a great play
- 9:53Speaker 10: making great plays. And man, he's being consistent and he's
- 9:56Speaker 10: just doing the right things.
- 9:57Speaker 1: So all his hard work is paying.
- 10:01Speaker 6: And then you know, I know you had the best
- 10:02Speaker 6: big you know past breakup on Calvin when you were
- 10:05Speaker 6: going against him in the game yesterday. Did all those
- 10:07Speaker 6: reps against him in practice and training camp last year,
- 10:10Speaker 6: did all that kind of helped translate onto the game
- 10:12Speaker 6: field or was it just you know, like another opponent?
- 10:15Speaker 1: Yeah, it definitely translated.
- 10:17Speaker 10: You know, I feel like practice last year is going
- 10:19Speaker 10: against him in the game, I felt like I was
- 10:20Speaker 10: just calm and just it just felt like last year
- 10:23Speaker 10: in practice, like it wasn't into it for me. But man,
- 10:27Speaker 10: I felt comfortable out there and it was I had
- 10:31Speaker 10: a great time competing against him.
- 10:33Speaker 9: Thanks Bencer, go ahead, Mark, yeah buster in year three?
- 10:41Speaker 9: How much more comfortable are you feeling now than maybe
- 10:44Speaker 9: the love vers two years? And how hard is it
- 10:46Speaker 9: to really maybe make a name for yourself as a
- 10:48Speaker 9: seventh round draft pick? And you know, having the team's
- 10:51Speaker 9: gotta have patience a little bit, right.
- 10:54Speaker 10: I say, this year is the most comfortable I've been,
- 10:56Speaker 10: you know, my past two years. You know it really
- 11:00Speaker 10: helped me. My second year definitely helped me. You know,
- 11:02Speaker 10: I got the most experienced that year last year, so
- 11:04Speaker 10: that carried over to this year. And I just feel
- 11:07Speaker 10: comfortable out there. And you know, the game is saw
- 11:09Speaker 10: down obviously, and you know I gained more of a
- 11:12Speaker 10: football knowledge and I just know what's coming in.
- 11:15Speaker 1: I feel more comfortable.
- 11:16Speaker 9: So what are you more proud of? I mean, the
- 11:18Speaker 9: seven pass breaks up breakups our career high, But so
- 11:21Speaker 9: are the sixty three tackles? Which one you you feel
- 11:24Speaker 9: like you know you've made the most strides at.
- 11:27Speaker 1: I say the past breakups.
- 11:30Speaker 10: You know, I look, I like when I get past
- 11:34Speaker 10: breakers and you know, I'm just looking forward to get
- 11:35Speaker 10: inter sessions, you know, that's the main thing. Just need
- 11:38Speaker 10: more interceptions. You know the past breakers are cool, but
- 11:40Speaker 10: need more intercessions.
- 11:41Speaker 6: So you come close, right, yeah.
- 11:46Speaker 1: Thank you.
- 11:49Speaker 6: All right, we have time for one more if anybody
- 11:51Speaker 6: else has a question.
- 11:56Speaker 1: All right, thanks Buster, thank you,
