00:00 >> Yeah, just trying to carry that into this week.
00:04 Obviously, we put a lot of stuff on film last week.
00:07 Like I said, just trying to build off that and prepare for the Seahawks this week and
00:12 get ready for that defense.
00:14 >> What did you learn from that film that you've been able to watch a bit more?
00:16 What was working really well now that you've had a few extra days?
00:20 >> Really just the Florida game and the Florida offense really,
00:23 for sure, specifically.
00:24 So from the quarterback to the line, to the receivers,
00:29 everybody was just playing sad on that part of the football.
00:32 You know what I'm saying?
00:32 When you play in front of the sticks, good things happen to you.
00:36 That's what I have to say.
00:37 We did a great job on that part.
00:39 >> Johnson, when you was watching, it didn't seem like it was anything spectacular.
00:45 Does it seem sustainable to you guys, like you can keep doing that kind of thing?
00:49 >> It was just more so everybody playing with more effort, grit,
00:54 strength, whatever it is.
00:56 Everybody just wanted to work and wanted to make a statement.
00:59 So I feel like Mason came on and did his job.
01:03 Everybody's right.
01:04 That's what kept the offense going.
01:07 >> What are you rallying around this year?
01:09 >> Mason, I think Mason.
01:11 >> What are you guessing, Mason's starting?
01:13 >> Do that again?
01:14 >> Yeah, we're gonna do the same thing, prepare, come in with a great mindset each
01:17 and every day, take it one day at a time.
01:20 >> You've talked a lot about getting off the fast start.
01:23 Can't be much better example than what you guys put on tape.
01:26 >> Like I said, start up front, and then move on to the next tournament.
01:30 And the running back's gonna do what they have to do outside, get our job.
01:33 And the defense did that, so once everybody's doing that,
01:36 we just gonna move it on.
01:38 >> What does Mason's presence do for you guys in the huddle?
01:41 Mason's presence as a quarterback, and his experience with this team.
01:44 What does that do for you guys?
01:45 >> That presence, he's been around a little while, so
01:49 I've been here with him since I came to New York.
01:51 So me and him got a great little bond going.
01:54 So I'm familiar with him.
01:56 It's not like the rest of the guys don't know his game and whatnot.
02:00 Like I said, you see how he came in, and everybody just,
02:03 you know what I'm saying, play how they normally play.
02:06 Mason came in and did his job, the moment wasn't too big.
02:09 Like I said, he prepared real great this week, last week.
02:13 So he's doing the same steps, right in front of us Saturday.
