1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:01,720
Speaker 1: I know you guys are still working out the game

2
00:00:01,720 --> 00:00:02,920
Speaker 1: plan for this week. And when you look at that

3
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:05,920
Speaker 1: Vikings defense, I mean, what are you preparing for? Yeah,

4
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:09,120
Speaker 1: they're good, uh a good unit. They're a good team, UM,

5
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:11,880
Speaker 1: no doubt. So, UM we'll be prepared. I think when

6
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 1: you look at them, you know, a strong uh strong

7
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:15,960
Speaker 1: front seven and they're good. They're good in the back

8
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:18,599
Speaker 1: end too. So UM, I think we'll be ready. I

9
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:20,680
Speaker 1: think we've got a good start to the week today

10
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 1: and and got a good plan uh in place. So um,

11
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 1: I'm excited. I think we're we'll be prepared, naked golden

12
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 1: Tate and to your arsenal there. So what's he gonna

13
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 1: add to the offense? Um? Well, I mean I think

14
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:33,879
Speaker 1: obviously he's the guy who's played a long time, He's

15
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:36,279
Speaker 1: caught a lot of balls and uh you know he's

16
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:38,160
Speaker 1: he's a really good players. So he gives us another

17
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 1: uh you know, another weapon and another tool on offense.

18
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 1: So UM excited to have him back out there. For sure.

19
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 1: How much you work with him at all preseason before

20
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:49,560
Speaker 1: he hand to leave the team, Um, we'll work with

21
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:51,600
Speaker 1: him a little bit. Um, you know. The week of

22
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 1: the Patriots game, especially, uh work with him a little bit,

23
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 1: but um, you know, we we all worked with everyone,

24
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 1: you know, throughout camp and throughout the preseason, so um,

25
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:03,959
Speaker 1: you know, I feel feel comfortable with him. I think

26
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,040
Speaker 1: he he feels comfortable with me. So I think we'll

27
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 1: we'll be on the same page, which some of the

28
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 1: spirits looked at. When you guys see se Quon actually

29
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: out there running around even though he may not be

30
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 1: available for the game, it's certainly an optimistic perspective, is this, Yeah,

31
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: without a doubt. Um, you know, I think he's he's

32
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:25,039
Speaker 1: doing well, and you know he's uh, he's gonna be patient.

33
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,759
Speaker 1: We're gonna make sure he's he's feeling feeling good when

34
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 1: he comes back. But um, yeah, to have him back

35
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 1: out there, he's a you know, captain, he's a leader

36
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 1: on our team. So, uh, you know, great to have

37
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,039
Speaker 1: him back out there. Daniel in there, we were asking

38
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 1: that about the particular challenge of this Vikings defense, and

39
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: then he basically named their position. So is this the

40
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 1: most complete defense you feel like you face so far

41
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 1: in the NFL, And it's not much compared to but

42
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 1: when you watch the film off complete, right, Yeah, I

43
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 1: mean I think they're uh they're a very complete team,

44
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: you know, I don't. I mean, I think compared to

45
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 1: the teams we played, they're they're definitely up there. So um,

46
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 1: you know, like said, they've got a good front seven

47
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: and they're they're really getting the back into So, UM,

48
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: I think we'll be ready. I think we've got a

49
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 1: plan to uh you know, to attack, to plan to

50
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: to handle what they do well and and uh you

51
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: know realize that it's about what we do well too,

52
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: you know. So it's about um, you know, playing our

53
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 1: strengths and and and uh you know, we will have

54
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 1: a plan to do that. So I think we're we're confident.

55
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: We're looking forward to it. Anything you're doing about the

56
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: way they playing all back in because the story and

57
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 1: the vikings, if they're good job arrassing your giant stre

58
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: backs and intercepting anything we've seen, Um well I think

59
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 1: they're physical. I think, uh you know, and it's it's

60
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 1: an experienced group back there, some guys who have played

61
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 1: together for a long time. So um as far as

62
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: giving you different looks, and um, you know, they're they're

63
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 1: good at that. So uh, like I said, like you know,

64
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: like like anything, well, we'll have a plan for it.

65
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 1: But it's about uh, it's about what we do. It's

66
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,359
Speaker 1: about you know, playing to playing our strengths, and um,

67
00:02:57,840 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: I think we'll we'll do that. When you went back

68
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 1: looked at the game and you looked at the interceptions,

69
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:06,519
Speaker 1: what did you see? Um well, I think, uh, you know,

70
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 1: like I said after the game, I think the first

71
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 1: one was, you know, a poor decision on a guy

72
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:13,679
Speaker 1: didn't see and and he made a play on the ball.

73
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:15,919
Speaker 1: And the second one was it was a poor throw,

74
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 1: just a misthrow. So um yeah, certainly two mistakes you

75
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: can't have and and uh I'll learn from him. Um.

76
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: But that's what I saw Daniel coach talks about. And

77
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:29,519
Speaker 1: I guess everybody has their own process and how to

78
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 1: learn to win. How you kind of learn to win

79
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 1: at this level. Um well, I think it starts. Uh,

80
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 1: it starts during the week I think with with uh,

81
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: you know practice, you know, I think coach talks about

82
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: every day, uh kind of just focusing on on Wednesday

83
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 1: when it's Wednesday and making sure we're having the best

84
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 1: Wednesday we can have, and then we'll do the same

85
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 1: thing tomorrow the next day and after I think, I

86
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 1: mean I think that's a big part of it, is

87
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 1: using the week too to prepare and and uh, you know,

88
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: trusting that you're gonna play the best when you're prepared

89
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: the best. So, um, I think that's been big for Dane.

90
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 1: Is it. Is it tough to keep your eyes downfield

91
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: if you've thrown a couple of interceptions on passes further

92
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 1: than ten yards? I mean, what does it take to

93
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 1: kind of just come right back out and try and

94
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 1: make that play again an attack? Um? I mean I think, Uh,

95
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 1: I think if you're gonna be a successful quarterback, you're

96
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,600
Speaker 1: gonna be have You're gonna have to be willing to uh,

97
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 1: you know, move on to the next play. And I

98
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 1: think if um, you know, if you're making decisions based

99
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 1: on um, based on the mistakes or the last place,

100
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 1: you're gonna get yourself into trouble. So UM, you know,

101
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: it's about it's about making the right read. It's about

102
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 1: putting the ball where it's supposed to be, considering the

103
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 1: coverage and the look. So I don't think you can

104
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 1: change that, um, regardless of the result a post see

105
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 1: if he's tried to mess read your head a little bit,

106
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 1: just in terms of front of it, make you go

107
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 1: one way or the other that you noticed that. Um,

108
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: I don't not, uh not any different than uh than

109
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 1: what we've seen on tape or they've done to other people.

110
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,839
Speaker 1: I think, um, you know, when you get veteran guys,

111
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 1: veteran safeties back there, they're gonna, um you know, they're

112
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: gonna do that because that's that's the job, and that's

113
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: part of disguising the looks a lot of times. So UM,

114
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,040
Speaker 1: I think it's just about uh, you know, preparing during

115
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 1: the week and knowing what to expect, uh during the game.

116
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 1: I couldn't help but notice as we were about to

117
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 1: come into the locker room, you were out there signing

118
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 1: Jones jerseys and footfalls. Is the change in the last

119
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 1: couple of weeks? Uh yeah, maybe a little bit, But UM,

120
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm not sure that changes a whole lot.

121
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:39,479
Speaker 1: Besides those uh thirty seconds. He's been doing that coming

122
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 1: in from practice, So I don't I mean, it's not

123
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 1: a big change in uh, in my routine or my day.

124
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 1: People are you walking down the street? I some people

125
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 1: are saying you are you Are you getting noticed more?

126
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, maybe a little bit, And um you know

127
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: that's uh, that's part of the job, and that's uh

128
00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 1: you know, certainly uh part of it. So I mean

129
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,239
Speaker 1: a little bit, but it's all all good. In Tampa,

130
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 1: you you took a pretty good shot from Carl Macid.

131
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 1: I think it was while you were moving around. But

132
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,479
Speaker 1: then still the next game you play, you're able to dance,

133
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,159
Speaker 1: avoid pressure and kind of avoid that kind of hit

134
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 1: while making a play with your legs. I'm just curious

135
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 1: when you studied that, you know, how do you how

136
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,599
Speaker 1: do you process it and kind of improve and avoid

137
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 1: those hits while still moving around with your feet. Yeah,

138
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 1: I mean I think that's tough to um, tough to

139
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 1: necessarily uh, you know, change what you're doing. I think

140
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 1: a lot of that is is just a feel of

141
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 1: the pressure and feel of who's coming and and uh

142
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,599
Speaker 1: finding the quickest way to escape. So um, I don't

143
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 1: you know, I think when you're in those situations, it's

144
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 1: hard to know exactly where everyone is, but um, it's

145
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,280
Speaker 1: more just a feel for the space and a feel for,

146
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 1: uh where the pressure is coming from. Daniel, just piggy

147
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,359
Speaker 1: backing off of that. When you were in high school,

148
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 1: I think you took a shot from Viking center Bradbury,

149
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 1: who was a defensive end at the time. Do you

150
00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:00,080
Speaker 1: remember that play and how did that kind of that

151
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 1: like an eye opener to the Wow, you know, I

152
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:06,240
