1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:02,080
Speaker 1: That sounds like you guys should all three of you

2
00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 1: guys should clap. How are you? I mean, first, I

3
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:07,840
Speaker 1: want to say thank you guys that that stayed. Okay,

4
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:10,320
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. So you guys are gonna get turn

5
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:12,600
Speaker 1: their cameras on. Let's just give him one on ones.

6
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:17,960
Speaker 1: Go ahead, Nicole, okay, good? Are you? Are you going

7
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:23,639
Speaker 1: with Karen's you know what? We'll let you ask the

8
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:25,640
Speaker 1: first question and then Karen will get the second one

9
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 1: via text. Since you guys were the only couple. So

10
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 1: we saw the stamps center, what have you seen them

11
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 1: compleat that left hands usage. We're just trying to get

12
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 1: everybody the spots that they may end up in and

13
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 1: have still have a competition at that left guard and

14
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 1: making sure that he's where he needs to be. And

15
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:53,519
Speaker 1: then I give him credit. I wasn't able to practice

16
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 1: on Thursday, worked hard to get back, worked him out

17
00:00:56,720 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 1: before the game, and we all decided that he was

18
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: would be able to play, and and he played and

19
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 1: and probably had some good snaps and probably he was

20
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 1: gonna have some snaps that you know, we'll need to

21
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 1: improve on. So that's the plan, is just trying to

22
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 1: get him all the work that you know he may

23
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:16,680
Speaker 1: need and continue to compete. Is there a point in

24
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 1: every season? And well, I think just when it's when

25
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 1: it's clear. You know, when it's clear. There's not a timeline,

26
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 1: but I think that when it becomes clear and it

27
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 1: and it didn't before and and I don't think it

28
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 1: has yet now, So we'll we'll still keep working and

29
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 1: trying to get the best group in there and then

30
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 1: get guys that are versatile and can help us behind them,

31
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,399
Speaker 1: because very rarely are you gonna play the same five

32
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 1: throughout a seventeen game season and and hopefully whatever comes

33
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 1: after that. Uh, just trying to get a good, good

34
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 1: solid group of offensive linemen, establish the the first unit,

35
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 1: but then also have some really good pieces behind. Um.

36
00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 1: What's Karen got revia? How gratifying is it in terms

37
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 1: of the culture you're trying to u build and seeing

38
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 1: the chisholm an unbout the free agent could be second

39
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:08,639
Speaker 1: and third epists to make plays to get it. In

40
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:10,799
Speaker 1: the end, it doesn't matter how you get here. The

41
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 1: only thing that matters is what you do when you're here.

42
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 1: And I think that's another great example of that. And

43
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: you know, chis when given opportunities, has taken advantage of him,

44
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 1: and we talked about his play strength last week, and

45
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: I would say that that continued to be true this

46
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:37,919
Speaker 1: week follow up via text. I think that that's exactly

47
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 1: what we talked about, like this has to be a

48
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 1: work day, this has to be an identity day, but

49
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: us also has to be in and earn a role

50
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,640
Speaker 1: day and making sure that we showed up with that

51
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 1: mentality making plays and second down file a lot. I've

52
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 1: seen a competitiveness and Anthony has been around and and

53
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 1: again we've had really good conversations, and you try to

54
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 1: draft some guys and there's some young guys in here,

55
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 1: and it's a fine balance. And to his credit, he's

56
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: done nothing but but compete in practice, earn reps, earn

57
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: opportunities in the game, and take advantage of everyone that

58
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:23,239
Speaker 1: he's gotten and in the factor today and even last week,

59
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 1: the most play Indeed, well, we have to you know,

60
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 1: I mean, we only have so many guys. There's guys,

61
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,679
Speaker 1: guys that didn't travel, there's guys that didn't play, and

62
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: and we have to have eleven out there every play,

63
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 1: and so this isn't this is the third week of

64
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: our first training camp as as a coaching staff and

65
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 1: as a team, Like that's what I want everybody to realize.

66
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 1: It's the third week of our first year and we

67
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 1: have to just you know, we we we have to

68
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 1: get this right and everybody, you know, we just be

69
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: prepared to play and forever long that you're in there,

70
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 1: or whenever you're asked and help on special teams. Somebody's

71
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 1: got to protect the punter, somebody's got to go on

72
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 1: the field goal unit, somebody has to be on the

73
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 1: kickoff return right that our obligation is we have to

74
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: protect the guys that have the ball, and then you know,

75
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: we have to be able to play and get stops

76
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 1: just like we did and that builds confidence and trust

77
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 1: throughout everybody on the team. I feel you guys now

78
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 1: are just gonna tag team the hell out of me.

79
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:30,280
Speaker 1: I didn't player and going up what you said that

80
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 1: to describe your off you well described our philosophy today

81
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 1: is that we just want to go out and go

82
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:42,040
Speaker 1: work through a pregame warm up and work through openers

83
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: and making adjustments and you know, things to coach on.

84
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:49,479
Speaker 1: You know, if you don't do anything today, you know

85
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 1: it's Friday, Saturday Sunday and now you work again on Monday,

86
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 1: like we today had to be at work day. And

87
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,479
Speaker 1: for some it wasn't that much and for others it

88
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 1: was more. And you know what other teams games do

89
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: can't affect us. You know, we'll try to play the

90
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,280
Speaker 1: situation and score when we're in the red zone. And

91
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: you know, I think a great reminder of you know,

92
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,919
Speaker 1: talked about Chisholm and Jordan Polp like saving a touchdown

93
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 1: and defending every blade of grass and we forced him

94
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,720
Speaker 1: to kick a field goal, and you know that's a

95
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 1: difference sometimes in these games, is an extra effort play

96
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 1: that allows the defense to defend every inch and blade

97
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 1: of grass and an offense to to fight for every inch.

98
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:36,480
Speaker 1: My helpers with your defense against well, yeah, we were

99
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 1: two for two last week in the red zone and

100
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 1: so that improved today. Not letting them run it in

101
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: was was critical. And then also you know, getting those

102
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,039
Speaker 1: stop there at the end and being able to play

103
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 1: it situationally, and you know we'll be able to coach

104
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 1: on the offensive the five minute drive and you know,

105
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 1: have have you know, a better plan. But I think

106
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 1: we were close today and certainly we had some two

107
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 1: minute situations and you know, offensively, we had a bunch

108
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,720
Speaker 1: of first and second down work. What did you first

109
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: time that he that he runs hard and you know,

110
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 1: protects the ball and guys were finishing and gave him

111
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:14,159
Speaker 1: a little bit of crease and doesn't that you don't

112
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 1: need much. I know he finds it and it was

113
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 1: it was a big good run early in the game.

114
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: You guy, even guys get all of that. But what

115
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 1: if the general, the guys in the locker we need

116
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: thee well, I mean, I'll save that for the guys

117
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: in the locker room. I mean before I tell them, certainly,

118
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 1: don't feel like I could tell you. But it's really

119
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 1: gonna stay consistent that we have to work and we

120
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,279
Speaker 1: have to continue to prove we don't have a ton

121
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:47,840
Speaker 1: of time left and there's things that we have to

122
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 1: continue to get better at and you know, preparing to win.

123
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 1: You know, we have to really start preparing to win.

124
00:06:55,000 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 1: If you feel you know that first drive, yeah, and

125
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 1: I think that he settled down and it was good

126
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: to see, you know, a lot of positives uh after that,

127
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: and that's why I decided to go back out with

128
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: that unit. And so I felt like there was a

129
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 1: rhythm and a flow and an execution. I'll be able

130
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 1: to give you a little bit more tomorrow when I'm

131
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: able to talk to to the medical staff and then

132
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 1: try to update you guys tomorrow with everything that I

133
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 1: can as it relates to some of the injuries. Did

134
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 1: you get your caricade? That's what I did. I did.

135
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 1: I get plenty of cake. There's no shortage of cake.

136
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:39,240

137
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 1: Appreciate the Vikings and what they were able to do,

138
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 1: their organization and the ease and comfort in which we

139
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 1: were able to work here, the facilities, that just the

140
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 1: energy at practice. Uh. You know, it's a good football team.

141
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 1: It's a talented roster. They do a lot defensively, and

142
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 1: so we think them and appreciated what they were able

143
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 1: to do for us. And we'll go back home and

144
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: get back to work. Thanks guys,
