<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's all it's all kind of part of that,

0:00:04.480 --> 0:00:05.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's all kind of getting used to the

0:00:06.200 --> 0:00:08.559
<v Speaker 1>routine of a game and everything. And obviously I don't

0:00:08.560 --> 0:00:10.680
<v Speaker 1>know how much I'll play and how it'll all unfold,

0:00:10.760 --> 0:00:12.680
<v Speaker 1>but um, I think we're all just excited to go

0:00:12.760 --> 0:00:14.600
<v Speaker 1>up against somebody else. You see some of the young

0:00:14.640 --> 0:00:17.480
<v Speaker 1>guys finally get that the first live action Um going

0:00:17.520 --> 0:00:19.360
<v Speaker 1>to Lambo. That'll be pretty cool as well. So so

0:00:19.400 --> 0:00:22.400
<v Speaker 1>we're excited for it. Years there's somebody you're lead for

0:00:22.400 --> 0:00:25.760
<v Speaker 1>four Yeah, obviously things are a little different this year,

0:00:25.840 --> 0:00:29.360
<v Speaker 1>but yeah, you don't want to get it. We'll hit

0:00:29.400 --> 0:00:32.360
<v Speaker 1>out there, but just talk about that full speed game action.

0:00:32.400 --> 0:00:33.760
<v Speaker 1>How much that kind of helps ere for you can

0:00:33.760 --> 0:00:35.560
<v Speaker 1>do it for a couple of weeks. Yeah, I'm excited

0:00:35.600 --> 0:00:37.720
<v Speaker 1>for it, you know, I love you know, obviously out

0:00:37.760 --> 0:00:39.440
<v Speaker 1>here we're wearing red jerseys. You can't get hit. So

0:00:39.960 --> 0:00:42.400
<v Speaker 1>um to finally just get that live action, kind of

0:00:42.400 --> 0:00:44.960
<v Speaker 1>get used to it again. Um before week one comes around.

0:00:44.960 --> 0:00:49.000
<v Speaker 1>It'll be good for for me and for everybody. What's

0:00:49.000 --> 0:00:52.560
<v Speaker 1>that yourself? Just a little it was a from a snap.

0:00:52.880 --> 0:00:58.400
<v Speaker 1>We're good, Yeah, yeah, we're good persons speculating you won't

0:00:58.440 --> 0:01:01.080
<v Speaker 1>play off Thursday? Would you rather be there? Do you

0:01:01.160 --> 0:01:02.960
<v Speaker 1>think you're good? Have seen this trend out? Were more

0:01:02.960 --> 0:01:05.360
<v Speaker 1>of the top quarterbacks maybe, don't lady for Yeah, I

0:01:05.400 --> 0:01:07.840
<v Speaker 1>guess I don't really know. Obviously I'm new to this,

0:01:08.000 --> 0:01:10.600
<v Speaker 1>but um, I want to play, you know, obviously I

0:01:10.720 --> 0:01:12.760
<v Speaker 1>want to play. So that'll be the coach's decision is

0:01:12.840 --> 0:01:14.920
<v Speaker 1>how much and everything. But I'm excited just to finally

0:01:14.959 --> 0:01:17.280
<v Speaker 1>get out there, to go to Lambeau, UM and have

0:01:17.440 --> 0:01:20.120
<v Speaker 1>some live some live action. You give us the preseason

0:01:20.400 --> 0:01:22.760
<v Speaker 1>pretty much all appreciated the last year year and you

0:01:22.840 --> 0:01:24.760
<v Speaker 1>had you know, he came in. It's almost like you

0:01:24.800 --> 0:01:26.720
<v Speaker 1>didn't miss the pre season. How much of these games

0:01:26.760 --> 0:01:29.520
<v Speaker 1>drew to me? I think they're They're a big part

0:01:29.560 --> 0:01:31.679
<v Speaker 1>of just development, you know. I think obviously last year

0:01:31.920 --> 0:01:34.199
<v Speaker 1>UM as rookies, you know, to finally get that live action,

0:01:34.280 --> 0:01:37.360
<v Speaker 1>get some kind of NFL opportunities. Um, I think it's big.

0:01:37.440 --> 0:01:39.160
<v Speaker 1>Obviously I missed a lot of it last year. But

0:01:39.480 --> 0:01:41.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm just for everybody to kind of get back in

0:01:41.240 --> 0:01:43.160
<v Speaker 1>the swing of things, get used to the contact, get

0:01:43.240 --> 0:01:45.880
<v Speaker 1>used to the routine, like we talked about earlier. UM,

0:01:45.959 --> 0:01:47.360
<v Speaker 1>I think it's it's just a big part of it.

0:01:47.480 --> 0:01:49.160
<v Speaker 1>Your offensive line is when you gethers the fall, the

0:01:49.160 --> 0:01:53.160
<v Speaker 1>summer out right into the games of change with random

0:01:53.200 --> 0:01:57.880
<v Speaker 1>and however, I think the good thing about what we

0:01:57.960 --> 0:01:59.840
<v Speaker 1>did this offseason we got some depth. You know, we

0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:02.840
<v Speaker 1>us some depth upfront, and so um, whoever it is

0:02:02.880 --> 0:02:05.080
<v Speaker 1>that'll step up on on Thursday nights, you know, I

0:02:05.160 --> 0:02:07.360
<v Speaker 1>know they'll be ready, and I know we're confident who

0:02:07.400 --> 0:02:09.359
<v Speaker 1>can step up. And I think we're also confident that

0:02:09.440 --> 0:02:13.720
<v Speaker 1>Brandon will be ready um in time. Up Well, Brett

0:02:13.760 --> 0:02:16.160
<v Speaker 1>far Fan, what do you anticipate a feeling up playing

0:02:16.160 --> 0:02:18.040
<v Speaker 1>a Lambo field that I'm excited for it. You know,

0:02:18.080 --> 0:02:20.920
<v Speaker 1>obviously I grew up a far Fan, followed the Vikings

0:02:20.960 --> 0:02:23.720
<v Speaker 1>a lot and never been to Lambo. So um, it'll

0:02:23.720 --> 0:02:26.160
<v Speaker 1>be cool, a cool atmosphere. Um. You know for some

0:02:26.200 --> 0:02:29.160
<v Speaker 1>of these rookies, it's we're talking to Dan Evans like, Hey,

0:02:29.200 --> 0:02:31.320
<v Speaker 1>your first ever game action you're gonna be a Lambo field.

0:02:31.320 --> 0:02:33.680
<v Speaker 1>That's pretty cool. So I'm excited to go up there

0:02:33.680 --> 0:02:36.840
<v Speaker 1>and check it out as well. The closest you're getting

0:02:36.840 --> 0:02:39.560
<v Speaker 1>the North Dakota all season or are you having family

0:02:39.600 --> 0:02:41.760
<v Speaker 1>and friends come out for these people? I don't think so.

0:02:42.000 --> 0:02:43.639
<v Speaker 1>I don't think so. Most of them full fly out

0:02:43.680 --> 0:02:46.040
<v Speaker 1>for most of these home games and stuff, and uh yeah,

0:02:46.040 --> 0:02:48.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't think we'll have many family and friends there

0:02:49.080 --> 0:02:51.680
<v Speaker 1>feeling out in process. Anytime you have a new coach,

0:02:52.240 --> 0:02:55.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm curious now that you're a year in with what

0:02:55.120 --> 0:02:58.240
<v Speaker 1>you found. Um, you know, how it's been with him,

0:02:58.280 --> 0:03:01.000
<v Speaker 1>and what you found sticks out most about It's been great.

0:03:01.080 --> 0:03:02.560
<v Speaker 1>You know. I think the biggest thing is he's a

0:03:02.560 --> 0:03:04.799
<v Speaker 1>player's coach. You know, you want to play for him. Um.

0:03:05.040 --> 0:03:09.120
<v Speaker 1>He understands from our position, you know, obviously as a quarterback,

0:03:09.160 --> 0:03:10.280
<v Speaker 1>which just as a player. You know, he was a

0:03:10.360 --> 0:03:12.359
<v Speaker 1>former player, so he's been through it. Um, so he

0:03:12.480 --> 0:03:14.120
<v Speaker 1>knows when to to kind of crank it up, when

0:03:14.160 --> 0:03:16.520
<v Speaker 1>to tone it back. Um. And so he's he's definitely

0:03:16.560 --> 0:03:18.639
<v Speaker 1>a player's coach. And then him and I, Um, I

0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:20.560
<v Speaker 1>mean we meet up all the time and just talk

0:03:20.560 --> 0:03:23.679
<v Speaker 1>about plays, concepts, different things, and um, we just have

0:03:23.720 --> 0:03:25.840
<v Speaker 1>a really good relationship that's just been growing, you know

0:03:25.919 --> 0:03:30.320
<v Speaker 1>ever since last year. How import is that to you? Yeah,

0:03:30.520 --> 0:03:32.919
<v Speaker 1>definitely there's some you know, obviously there's a little give

0:03:32.919 --> 0:03:35.200
<v Speaker 1>and take with that. Um, just like with any any

0:03:35.280 --> 0:03:38.040
<v Speaker 1>quarterback any coach. So, um, that's definitely something that we're

0:03:38.040 --> 0:03:41.320
<v Speaker 1>continually working through, talking through and where where is the

0:03:41.440 --> 0:03:43.640
<v Speaker 1>right time to kind of take that freedom when when

0:03:43.760 --> 0:03:45.360
<v Speaker 1>is it all right just just run the play that's

0:03:45.360 --> 0:03:47.200
<v Speaker 1>called and no one when to when to take your

0:03:47.240 --> 0:03:49.440
<v Speaker 1>chances and stuff. So um, but it's been good. We've

0:03:49.480 --> 0:03:52.280
<v Speaker 1>been on the same page for the most part today

0:03:52.320 --> 0:03:54.520
<v Speaker 1>with el Sean on the field behind us, and also

0:03:54.600 --> 0:03:58.280
<v Speaker 1>we saw Nelson enjoying on the field to see how

0:03:58.320 --> 0:04:01.880
<v Speaker 1>about the fighters were good. Yeah, these guys look good.

0:04:02.000 --> 0:04:04.040
<v Speaker 1>You know, they look good. Um, I know we talked

0:04:04.080 --> 0:04:06.640
<v Speaker 1>about it last week with just the competition, competition that

0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:09.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, bringing in Alshan and Tory Um, coach grow

0:04:09.840 --> 0:04:12.720
<v Speaker 1>has done a great job really um igniting some competition

0:04:12.800 --> 0:04:15.480
<v Speaker 1>there as well. So um, bringing in those veteran guys

0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:18.039
<v Speaker 1>has really just ignited everybody to just compete their tails

0:04:18.080 --> 0:04:21.040
<v Speaker 1>off and and everyone realizes nothing's guaranteed. You got to

0:04:21.040 --> 0:04:22.720
<v Speaker 1>earn it. And so the competition has been great and

0:04:22.720 --> 0:04:26.839
<v Speaker 1>everybody's gotten gotten better from it. Is your warm up stretching,

0:04:27.000 --> 0:04:32.039
<v Speaker 1>stretching your team than what you previously did. Um, it's different,

0:04:32.080 --> 0:04:33.720
<v Speaker 1>but I mean I always had a warm up I

0:04:33.760 --> 0:04:36.360
<v Speaker 1>always took you know, ten fifteen minutes before I ever

0:04:36.440 --> 0:04:38.600
<v Speaker 1>threw um. It's kind of just something I've always done.

0:04:39.880 --> 0:04:42.440
<v Speaker 1>You seek more stretch, stretching so you don't have to

0:04:42.480 --> 0:04:47.840
<v Speaker 1>throw because it simulates throwing UM said um, I get.

0:04:47.880 --> 0:04:49.360
<v Speaker 1>The biggest thing is just a lot of people think

0:04:49.440 --> 0:04:51.159
<v Speaker 1>you you warm up by throwing. You know, you got

0:04:51.279 --> 0:04:54.080
<v Speaker 1>to warm up your your shoulder, your elbow, everything before

0:04:54.160 --> 0:04:57.680
<v Speaker 1>you throw. UM. You know, hopefully be playing this game

0:04:57.680 --> 0:04:58.920
<v Speaker 1>for a long time, so I'm gonna do everything I

0:04:58.960 --> 0:05:01.120
<v Speaker 1>can do to keep my arm um in good shape

0:05:01.120 --> 0:05:02.320
<v Speaker 1>all the time. It seems like a lot of the

0:05:02.400 --> 0:05:05.360
<v Speaker 1>quarterbacks that haven't taken that approach, it's like when they're

0:05:05.400 --> 0:05:08.000
<v Speaker 1>a little older. Do you think there'll be an added

0:05:08.040 --> 0:05:09.760
<v Speaker 1>benefit the fact that you're doing it now at the

0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:12.840
<v Speaker 1>age of twelve twenty four? I hope, so hopefully that's

0:05:12.920 --> 0:05:15.680
<v Speaker 1>kind of the goal for sure. Every season last year

0:05:15.800 --> 0:05:19.040
<v Speaker 1>before the injury had a different context for you than

0:05:19.279 --> 0:05:22.159
<v Speaker 1>it does this year. So so in in these three

0:05:22.200 --> 0:05:23.800
<v Speaker 1>games you'll play, what do you hope to get out

0:05:23.800 --> 0:05:25.800
<v Speaker 1>of a little bit? I think just get out there

0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:28.119
<v Speaker 1>with with the kind of new faces in the huddle,

0:05:28.160 --> 0:05:30.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, some different guys and UM just get used

0:05:30.480 --> 0:05:32.680
<v Speaker 1>to each other and get us to these game game situations.

0:05:32.839 --> 0:05:35.360
<v Speaker 1>I think situational football is a big part of UM

0:05:35.480 --> 0:05:37.000
<v Speaker 1>just a big part of the NFL, you know, and

0:05:37.200 --> 0:05:39.880
<v Speaker 1>being smart and in those situations. So I think that'll

0:05:39.880 --> 0:05:42.039
<v Speaker 1>be big for us to get those game like situations,

0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:45.040
<v Speaker 1>UM and kind of just get ready for for Week one.

0:05:48.680 --> 0:05:52.280
<v Speaker 1>La Garrett had its back. Getting used to something as

0:05:52.279 --> 0:05:54.320
<v Speaker 1>simple as to handle it's been good, you know, it's

0:05:54.360 --> 0:05:56.160
<v Speaker 1>been good obviously sometimes turn around and handing it to

0:05:56.279 --> 0:05:58.200
<v Speaker 1>La Garrett and then handing it to Darren UM a

0:05:58.200 --> 0:06:01.160
<v Speaker 1>little different sizes and everything there. But UM, I love

0:06:01.240 --> 0:06:03.440
<v Speaker 1>both those guys and getting La Garrett back obviously when

0:06:03.520 --> 0:06:05.840
<v Speaker 1>when he was away, I'm getting him back. It's been

0:06:05.920 --> 0:06:07.480
<v Speaker 1>good to just kind of get back on the same

0:06:07.520 --> 0:06:10.719
<v Speaker 1>page with him. Top this quarterback and you've been up

0:06:11.000 --> 0:06:13.000
<v Speaker 1>against the gamp so far. You know, I don't really

0:06:13.160 --> 0:06:15.960
<v Speaker 1>pay a ton of attention to those guys, UM specifically.

0:06:16.000 --> 0:06:18.120
<v Speaker 1>You know, I'm just really focused on our receivers and everything.

0:06:18.200 --> 0:06:20.040
<v Speaker 1>So I'm not going to really go in depth on

0:06:20.120 --> 0:06:33.400
<v Speaker 1>that obviously breath that I haven't followed it too much, honestly, UM,

0:06:33.480 --> 0:06:35.560
<v Speaker 1>I know there's a lot out there and um, I

0:06:35.680 --> 0:06:37.480
<v Speaker 1>try to not think about it too much and just

0:06:37.680 --> 0:06:40.200
<v Speaker 1>just play this game. And UM, yeah, I don't. I

0:06:40.240 --> 0:06:43.159
<v Speaker 1>don't have a ton to comment on that. He's he's

0:06:43.200 --> 0:06:45.760
<v Speaker 1>a live pass rush And is that beneficial for you

0:06:45.960 --> 0:06:48.560
<v Speaker 1>after after two weeks in the right jersey or is

0:06:48.600 --> 0:06:51.440
<v Speaker 1>it a concern because of fat risk? No, I don't

0:06:51.480 --> 0:06:53.560
<v Speaker 1>think it's a concern. You know, if you're scared to

0:06:53.560 --> 0:06:55.640
<v Speaker 1>get hurt, you wouldn't play this game, you know, ultimately,

0:06:55.720 --> 0:06:57.800
<v Speaker 1>But I think the live pass rush will be good, Um,

0:06:57.880 --> 0:06:59.920
<v Speaker 1>to go out there and start feeling some things. You know. Obviously,

0:07:00.040 --> 0:07:02.080
<v Speaker 1>in practice you try and make a game like you

0:07:02.200 --> 0:07:04.440
<v Speaker 1>try and react in the way you would, but um,

0:07:04.520 --> 0:07:06.320
<v Speaker 1>when when your live things are a little different. So

0:07:06.520 --> 0:07:08.280
<v Speaker 1>I think it'll be good for me. How would you

0:07:08.440 --> 0:07:11.280
<v Speaker 1>valuate we're kind of done the training camp, or at

0:07:11.360 --> 0:07:13.760
<v Speaker 1>least up to the three prec how would you valuate

0:07:13.800 --> 0:07:16.000
<v Speaker 1>how you performed over the last time. I thought it

0:07:16.040 --> 0:07:18.280
<v Speaker 1>was okay, you know, I thought, um, just as an

0:07:18.280 --> 0:07:20.920
<v Speaker 1>offense as a whole. I thought we'd you know, every day,

0:07:21.120 --> 0:07:22.680
<v Speaker 1>one day we were up here, next day we're kind

0:07:22.680 --> 0:07:24.680
<v Speaker 1>of down here. Um, that's kind of training camp, that's

0:07:24.760 --> 0:07:26.280
<v Speaker 1>kind of how it is, and I would say myself

0:07:26.320 --> 0:07:28.320
<v Speaker 1>personally was I was kind of similar, you know, and

0:07:28.520 --> 0:07:30.360
<v Speaker 1>you want to be consistent, but that's training camp to

0:07:30.440 --> 0:07:32.920
<v Speaker 1>some extent. So um, overall, I thought we we got

0:07:33.000 --> 0:07:35.200
<v Speaker 1>better throughout camp. And obviously we're not done yet either.

0:07:35.240 --> 0:07:37.720
<v Speaker 1>We still got a couple more weeks. Um, but you know,

0:07:37.800 --> 0:07:39.920
<v Speaker 1>I think I think we've done some good things. I

0:07:40.880 --> 0:07:42.560
<v Speaker 1>think it's going to call out of vand today one

0:07:42.600 --> 0:07:45.240
<v Speaker 1>on one coverages to test the cornerbacks is the equivalent

0:07:45.480 --> 0:07:47.600
<v Speaker 1>for for the offense where you can kind of book

0:07:47.640 --> 0:07:50.800
<v Speaker 1>outs in situations to test that. Um, I guess I

0:07:50.840 --> 0:07:52.760
<v Speaker 1>don't know. You might have to ask coach Peterson that one,

0:07:52.840 --> 0:07:56.240
<v Speaker 1>but um, maybe to some extent, but um, yeah, I

0:07:56.280 --> 0:08:00.960
<v Speaker 1>don't know. We thought able to focus on professional football

0:08:01.000 --> 0:08:04.080
<v Speaker 1>expose of what you're going through last year. Did you adjust, um,

0:08:04.440 --> 0:08:06.720
<v Speaker 1>the way that you trained at all? And haven't found

0:08:06.760 --> 0:08:08.920
<v Speaker 1>any benefits as a result A little bit, you know,

0:08:08.960 --> 0:08:11.320
<v Speaker 1>a little bit. UM just kind of did some different

0:08:11.320 --> 0:08:13.880
<v Speaker 1>things in the weight rooms, some different things um out

0:08:13.920 --> 0:08:16.320
<v Speaker 1>on the field, and I've definitely seen some some benefit

0:08:16.440 --> 0:08:18.440
<v Speaker 1>from that. I feel I feel more refreshed, you know.

0:08:18.520 --> 0:08:20.680
<v Speaker 1>I was I was smart with taking the time off,

0:08:20.880 --> 0:08:24.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, doing extra recovery things and those types of things. Um,

0:08:24.440 --> 0:08:26.920
<v Speaker 1>and so just taking some different approaches. You know, I

0:08:27.320 --> 0:08:29.680
<v Speaker 1>sought out a lot of guidance from from older guys,

0:08:29.720 --> 0:08:31.520
<v Speaker 1>from kind of everybody in the business, from my agents,

0:08:31.600 --> 0:08:33.600
<v Speaker 1>from people in my agency to kind of just find

0:08:33.640 --> 0:08:35.880
<v Speaker 1>the best thing that would be best for me. Um

0:08:36.080 --> 0:08:38.520
<v Speaker 1>individualized for me as far as workouts and everything. So

0:08:39.080 --> 0:08:46.880
<v Speaker 1>I definitely feel like it helped them as receiver kind

0:08:46.920 --> 0:08:53.240
<v Speaker 1>of think. Yeah. I mean having a guy like Darren

0:08:53.679 --> 0:08:55.599
<v Speaker 1>Um just creates a lot of mismatches. You know, we

0:08:55.640 --> 0:08:58.000
<v Speaker 1>saw it last year over and over again. We'd flex

0:08:58.120 --> 0:08:59.760
<v Speaker 1>him out in an empty set and he'd be on

0:08:59.800 --> 0:09:01.640
<v Speaker 1>a I'm backer. You know, that's a mismatch. Will take

0:09:01.679 --> 0:09:03.560
<v Speaker 1>that all day long. And I think pump Frey can

0:09:03.640 --> 0:09:05.760
<v Speaker 1>do very similar things. You know, he's a very natural

0:09:05.760 --> 0:09:08.840
<v Speaker 1>pass catcher can Um. Obviously he's been hurting a little

0:09:08.840 --> 0:09:12.000
<v Speaker 1>bit so unfortunately he's missed some reps. But um, yeah,

0:09:12.040 --> 0:09:14.640
<v Speaker 1>I think he can create some mismatches similar to Darren

0:09:17.000 --> 0:09:20.160
<v Speaker 1>just you want him getting before last year, but him

0:09:20.240 --> 0:09:23.000
<v Speaker 1>preting getting the other receivers. Guy walking toward Yeah, Jame

0:09:23.040 --> 0:09:25.920
<v Speaker 1>has been great, you know, obviously missing some time in

0:09:26.000 --> 0:09:28.720
<v Speaker 1>the spring a little bit. Um was tough tough on him.

0:09:28.760 --> 0:09:30.200
<v Speaker 1>You know, he wanted to be out there competing, because

0:09:30.240 --> 0:09:32.000
<v Speaker 1>that's the kind of guy he is. But he's been great.

0:09:32.040 --> 0:09:34.839
<v Speaker 1>You know, I love that guy, and UM, he's definitely

0:09:34.880 --> 0:09:37.400
<v Speaker 1>back out here competing his tail off. And UM, I

0:09:37.440 --> 0:09:38.880
<v Speaker 1>don't want to say he's a leader in there, because

0:09:38.920 --> 0:09:41.199
<v Speaker 1>there's a bunch of leaders in that room, but he's

0:09:41.200 --> 0:09:42.920
<v Speaker 1>a guy that a lot of the younger guys look

0:09:43.000 --> 0:09:45.280
<v Speaker 1>up to and respect, and UM, you know, I just

0:09:45.360 --> 0:09:49.280
<v Speaker 1>love playing with that guy. Right cool, Thanks guys,
