1 00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:03,600 Speaker 1: Can you take us through the decision with the Dory 2 00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:07,280 Speaker 1: and the idea that you're bringing it him back, you know, 3 00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:08,039 Speaker 1: this close to. 4 00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:08,959 Speaker 2: The season starting. 5 00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:12,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, Like we've always said, we'll try to improve the 6 00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:16,119 Speaker 3: team anyway we can. Obviously, we've had a relationship with 7 00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:19,320 Speaker 3: the Dory. Shane has had a relationship with the Dory. 8 00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:22,439 Speaker 3: He came in the day that he signed it a 9 00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:25,200 Speaker 3: little bit of workout. We've been in contact with his 10 00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:28,880 Speaker 3: representatives prior to that, and he looked good in the 11 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:32,000 Speaker 3: workout and got something done. So happy to have him aboard. 12 00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:35,120 Speaker 2: You wish you had done it sooner. 13 00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:36,800 Speaker 4: I mean, if you're going to bring a veteran like 14 00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:38,720 Speaker 4: that back, would would that have been helpful? 15 00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know there's there's always different times Kim that 16 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:45,720 Speaker 3: that guy's come back or release them. That was just, 17 00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:47,800 Speaker 3: you know, something that we thought would would help our 18 00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:51,879 Speaker 3: football team. Again, there's been conversations with him prior to 19 00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:55,040 Speaker 3: the day we signed him, so you know, we'll get 20 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:56,840 Speaker 3: him back in the fold here and catch him up 21 00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:58,520 Speaker 3: to speed as quick as we can and see what 22 00:00:58,560 --> 00:00:59,360 Speaker 3: happens this week. 23 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:01,960 Speaker 2: And I noticed that the third it's a quick one though. 24 00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,600 Speaker 2: To envision him starting right off the gate. 25 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:06,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'd say, I'd say we got to get him 26 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:08,560 Speaker 3: out here and you know, ramp him up and see 27 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,640 Speaker 3: where he's at, and you know, we'll take it day 28 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 3: by day, see where he's at and how much to 29 00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 3: play him, how not to play him. I think that's 30 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:25,680 Speaker 3: what we'll do. Look at this week, Hey, Brian, what's 31 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:26,520 Speaker 3: going on Jordan? 32 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 5: How much what do you say to Nick McCloud and 33 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:35,199 Speaker 5: Cordell Flodd and how much do their roles now change potentially? 34 00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:37,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'd say, you know, we again, Adri is his 35 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:39,960 Speaker 3: first day back here, so we'll see where he's at, 36 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,360 Speaker 3: and you know, by the end of the week, we'll determine, 37 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:46,280 Speaker 3: you know, what we're going to do relative to roster, playtime, 38 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,600 Speaker 3: all those type of things. Those guys are, you know, 39 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 3: competitors at the NFL, so you try to make it 40 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 3: as competitive as you can make it, and you know, 41 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 3: we'll play the guys we think give us the best chance. 42 00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 2: And then in regards to your opponent this week, it's 43 00:01:58,480 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 2: game week. 44 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,240 Speaker 5: Now, you're you know, you're focus on Minnesota, the Sam 45 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:06,160 Speaker 5: Donalds you face. Now, how different do you expect that 46 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,360 Speaker 5: or you know the same, do you expect it from 47 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:10,359 Speaker 5: the Sam Donald you know, two three years ago. 48 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, it hasn't started a ton of games since then. 49 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know when when we were doing the quarterback 50 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:20,080 Speaker 3: Tour back at Buffalo, spent a lot of time with 51 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:25,240 Speaker 3: Sam out at USC, working him out, take him to dinner, 52 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 3: meeting with him on the visits. I got a lot 53 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 3: of respect for Sam. I know he's been to you 54 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 3: four different places, but he's an athletic quarterback that has, 55 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 3: you know, good head on his shoulders, knows where to 56 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,119 Speaker 3: go with the football. He's surrounded by some really good 57 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 3: players at Minnesota and experience helps at any position. But 58 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,799 Speaker 3: always been a big fan of Sam and he's got 59 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 3: he's got a good team around him, a good play caller, 60 00:02:50,760 --> 00:03:01,519 Speaker 3: and it would be certainly a challenge. 61 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:08,959 Speaker 1: Morning Brian, Morning, as you go into this week, do 62 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 1: you have a healthy team or is Micah still a 63 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:12,800 Speaker 1: question mark or what? 64 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, everybody's getting better. We'll put the jury report on Wednesday. 65 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:17,360 Speaker 3: But everybody's getting better. 66 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 2: Is musso the option if Micah can't. 67 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 3: Go, Yeah, we'll see. I mean, we'll see how it 68 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 3: goes this week. Again, we'll put that out on Wednesday. 69 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:28,080 Speaker 3: We'll have a walk through today we'll start it up 70 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:33,360 Speaker 3: tomorrow and everybody that's available be ready to play. 71 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 1: Thank you. 72 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 2: Yep, I got about Darnold again. 73 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 1: It reminded me of that scene in Hard Knocks where 74 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 1: you guys were going through all the quarterbacks and how 75 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 1: many different ones have been coached by different guys and 76 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 1: the lack of stability different teams. How much of a 77 00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 1: factor do you think that is for guys like obviously 78 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 1: Sam's career has gone differently than you would have expected. 79 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 2: In twenty eighteen. 80 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 1: How much of developing quarterback is stability. 81 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 3: I think it's important again not to revisit twenty eighteen, 82 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:20,480 Speaker 3: but Lamar and Josh are in the same systems, and 83 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:24,039 Speaker 3: you know Sam and Josh, you know, they're in different systems. 84 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,720 Speaker 3: Baker's been in a different system. So again, I think 85 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 3: in every circumstance, Ryan, every situation is a little bit different. 86 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:33,720 Speaker 3: But I think, you know, and I thought Sam was 87 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 3: a good player coming out of USC and you know, 88 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:40,280 Speaker 3: he's certainly been a few different spots here, but has 89 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 3: all the talent in the world, good young man, good 90 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 3: head on his shoulders. And again it's it's each situation 91 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 3: is different. So again you take a look at just 92 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 3: that class the five it was five right, taken in 93 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,920 Speaker 3: the first round. Two of them are on the same 94 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 3: team and three of them aren't or on multiple teams. 95 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:05,360 Speaker 1: And then to switch gears offensive line, what specifically, now 96 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 1: that you've had them here and it's game week and whatnot, 97 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 1: has have illumin or and run and added to your 98 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 1: offensive line? 99 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 2: And what is the expectation here for that group, knowing 100 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:16,160 Speaker 2: that they just. 101 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 1: Started practicing together, is it fair to expect them, you know, 102 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 1: to be game ready already? 103 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:22,599 Speaker 2: Yeah. 104 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 3: Well, first of all, I'd say that the players that 105 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,279 Speaker 3: we've had, and I've said this too Stinny included, have 106 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 3: brought veteran presence, leadership, communication, They've played the game. They 107 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 3: know how the game needs to be played. In terms 108 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:41,919 Speaker 3: of the five players playing, you're always a work in progress. 109 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:46,719 Speaker 3: So those players have when they've practiced, you know, they've 110 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:50,080 Speaker 3: all practiced well, albeit not all together, but you know, 111 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 3: they've all practiced well. They've come in, they've worked hard, 112 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 3: they're smart, they communicate with one another well. And you know, 113 00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,120 Speaker 3: the last couple of practices we had here, but for 114 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,920 Speaker 3: the break, you know, it was good to good to 115 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 3: get them all out there. So you know, do everything 116 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 3: you can do. You know, that's just not them. That's 117 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 3: everybody to be as ready as you can go for 118 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 3: week one. 119 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 2: Welcome. 120 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,480 Speaker 6: Hey, it's trying to push back to the dory real quick. 121 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 6: You spoke, I think it was last Wednesday you said 122 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:23,359 Speaker 6: you have an idea of what direction things are headed 123 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:24,240 Speaker 6: at c B two. 124 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 2: Was that with a Dory. 125 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:27,840 Speaker 6: Coming back in mind when you made that statement. 126 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, we had. We've had conversations, like I said, about 127 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,840 Speaker 3: a dory for you know, I don't know how many 128 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:38,559 Speaker 3: days or weeks before this, but we've had conversations. So again, 129 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 3: until until it happens, Dan, you don't know if it's 130 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:45,919 Speaker 3: going to happen. Uh deals if you will. But i'd say, 131 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,039 Speaker 3: you know now we're you know, we're healthy now at 132 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,800 Speaker 3: that spot with with Flop being back and McLoud has 133 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 3: been a dependable player for us a dory. So we'll see, well, 134 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 3: we'll see where we're at here. But you know it's 135 00:06:58,000 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 3: good have doory board. 136 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:01,159 Speaker 2: When you look back. 137 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 6: At a Door's tape last year, I mean, I think 138 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,040 Speaker 6: the tackling I would say probably lest some to be 139 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 6: desired time and if you're agree with that on the zoom, 140 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 6: but is that something that is a focus when you 141 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 6: talk to him, or something you think needs to be better. 142 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,920 Speaker 3: Well, I think that's part of playing defensive football is 143 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 3: regardless of any position you play, you have to get 144 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 3: the ball, get the man down with the ball in 145 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 3: his hands. So that's that's something we stress for every player. 146 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 3: But you know, again, he's been here now for just 147 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 3: this is his first day after we saw him when 148 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:32,680 Speaker 3: he signed. We'll get a maccliamate in the system. You know, 149 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:34,880 Speaker 3: it's one thing working out and doing all those things. 150 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:38,400 Speaker 3: It's another thing of, you know, playing football. So we'll 151 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 3: see where he's at. I'm sure he'll give everything he 152 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 3: can give to try to be as ready as he 153 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:43,120 Speaker 3: could be. 154 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 4: Yep, Brian, are you just to go back to Sam 155 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 4: a little bit. Are you surprised at how quickly teams 156 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 4: these days seem to wash their hands of young quarterbacks 157 00:07:57,600 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 4: that they draft. 158 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'd say every every play place, every organization is different. 159 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 3: I don't want to speak for other teams. Again, it's 160 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 3: a hard position to play. You prepare as hard as 161 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 3: you can play, and there's a lot of things that 162 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 3: go into you know, the success of a player, not 163 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 3: just quarterback. But I understand the question because it is 164 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 3: the quarterback. Again, every team is different. I don't want 165 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 3: to speak for other teams. 166 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 4: Well, let's let's talk about your experiences then you you 167 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 4: know the last last too, at least you've had quarterbacks 168 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 4: that you've stuck with and developed. 169 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,680 Speaker 2: You know why, what made what made those decisions for you? 170 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,439 Speaker 3: Well, that you can develop the player. So if they've 171 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 3: got a skill set that you think you can develop, 172 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 3: you continue to work with them and you do everything 173 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:45,200 Speaker 3: you can do, whether it's you know, design, whether it's 174 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 3: personnel groups, whether it's different types of plays that they 175 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 3: feel good about, it's consistent communication, understanding the system. There's 176 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 3: a lot that goes into this position. It's not an 177 00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:02,520 Speaker 3: easy position to play or coach. So again, each each 178 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,360 Speaker 3: player is different. You know again I was around a 179 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 3: few of them here the last few years that have 180 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,440 Speaker 3: that have stuck and that have played good football. But 181 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:15,599 Speaker 3: you know, my focus is one, our quarterback, Daniel and 182 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:17,840 Speaker 3: helping him be the best player he can be, and 183 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 3: I know that's where his focus is. And then two 184 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 3: getting ready to defend. You know the quarterback of the 185 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,720 Speaker 3: opposing team, which in this case it's it's Sam so 186 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 3: but in terms of situations tom of why people are 187 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:33,640 Speaker 3: successful why not. That's that's a long conversation, and you know, 188 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 3: probably information when you're not part of that organization that 189 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 3: you don't have. 190 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:47,079 Speaker 2: Yep, I tend to use a doory as a punt returner. 191 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:49,199 Speaker 3: And potentially. 192 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 2: Do you think he's in game shape? You said he 193 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:54,679 Speaker 2: had to go work out. Is he in game shape 194 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:56,960 Speaker 2: football shape from your judgment at the moment. Yeah. 195 00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,679 Speaker 3: What I also said though, was that again there's a 196 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:03,600 Speaker 3: different between working out in the offseason and then actually 197 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 3: getting here and doing it. So he's got you know, 198 00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 3: today's a walkthrough. Tomorrow will be like at Wednesday, practice, 199 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 3: the next day will be a Thursday. So again it's 200 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,439 Speaker 3: it's definitely not the same as you know, going through 201 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:16,439 Speaker 3: a training camp and all those things. But this happens, 202 00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 3: you know, this happens quite a bit in this league. 203 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 3: So I know he's worked out. He looked good in 204 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:24,200 Speaker 3: the workout, in shape. So now it's getting into football 205 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 3: shape as quick as we can get him into it.
