1
00:00:02,040 --> 00:00:02,160
Speaker 1: All.

2
00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:04,440
Speaker 2: I know you spent up a lot of time up there,

3
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:06,480
Speaker 2: but yeah, how grueling was that out there with those

4
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:08,360
Speaker 2: special Olympians for it.

5
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:09,560
Speaker 1: Oh, it was awesome just to.

6
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:11,960
Speaker 3: See the fun they're having out there, the fun that

7
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:15,120
Speaker 3: it brings me, and just through them playing playing football

8
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:17,160
Speaker 3: is just a game we saw started playing when we were

9
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 3: young and fell in over there at that age. You know,

10
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:20,319
Speaker 3: I remember playing flag back in the day. And for

11
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:23,279
Speaker 3: them to see them go out there running routes, throwing football,

12
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:26,240
Speaker 3: scoring touchdowns, just having fun and being into it, that's

13
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:28,479
Speaker 3: the biggest thing. You see him communicate and having the

14
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 3: risk band and caring about it and loving it. That's

15
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:33,200
Speaker 3: that's that's the coolest part for me. The officiating, Yeah,

16
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 3: the officiing. You know, there was a little bit of

17
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:37,520
Speaker 3: praises out there officiating. I thought I did a good job.

18
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 3: He was trying to help team mass out, which was cool. No,

19
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 3: But I think I think it's really you know, the

20
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 3: rules and it's it's trying to keep it kind of

21
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 3: within the rules. Really, it's just about them having fun

22
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 3: and uh, you know, I think they're still all they

23
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 3: all want to win.

24
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 1: That's the biggest thing I saw. They want to win.

25
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 3: Still, I was today for you out there. Uh oh, yeah,

26
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 3: I think it was good for us, good for us

27
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 3: to see it. Defense does a lot of things. You know,

28
00:00:57,680 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 3: they got us a few times, felt we got them.

29
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 3: So it's good for us to you know, see that

30
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 3: and you know experience, you know, do new defense and

31
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 3: kind of very different from Washington, very different from our defense.

32
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:07,399
Speaker 1: What did you see on the.

33
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:11,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think there's uh, you know, they didn't account

34
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:12,480
Speaker 3: for him and you know, just trying to give it

35
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 3: to him an easy ball to let him catch and run,

36
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 3: and I think it's hard to catch him once he's

37
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 3: you know, in the open field.

38
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:22,040
Speaker 2: Collins Matt Collins told us that he punted the ball

39
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 2: because he wanted to shift the energy of practice.

40
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:25,759
Speaker 1: The same thing as him and.

41
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 3: Did you feel Yeah, I think it's one of those

42
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,039
Speaker 3: things where it's you know, it's fans in here, and

43
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 3: you know, it's a it's a it's an environment that

44
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 3: you expect to be really hostile. And I think we've

45
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 3: got to bring our own energy. It's how way games are.

46
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 3: You got to bring your own energy. And I think

47
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:39,960
Speaker 3: the guys you know, responding well at times, but I

48
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 3: don't think we you know, as a team, can you

49
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 3: do better job of bringing energy and have them have him, uh,

50
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 3: having some energy when our guys make a play and

51
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 3: when we don't respond into that.

52
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's pretty cool.

53
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 3: You know with Josh, you know, spend spend uh, you know,

54
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 3: a lot of hours you know, in quarterback drills and

55
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 3: you know, throwing the football with him. And you know,

56
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 3: I played with you know some really both his sons

57
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 3: in high school. You know, they were my teammates. So

58
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 3: you'll still stay in touch with them. They're great dudes.

59
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 3: And it's kind of full circle scene it, you know,

60
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 3: come out here and him coach in the NFL's pretty cool.

61
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 4: Trigger on Henderson and vertical I think in seven on

62
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 4: sevens as well. So much of a mismatches he provide

63
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 4: against guys like the wind backers.

64
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:19,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, with the speed, you know, sometimes they leave the

65
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 3: backs one on one and sometimes that's your best match

66
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:23,679
Speaker 3: up on the field. You've got safeties over top of receivers,

67
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 3: you got you know, sometimes a lot of guys in

68
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:27,360
Speaker 3: the middle of the field and zone, so sometimes one

69
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 3: on one with you know, the running backs. It's great, heaving,

70
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 3: I really play all three of them, you know, Andre

71
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 3: and Gibbie and treyon can you know, make plays out

72
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 3: of the backfield and keeps the defense honest and makes

73
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 3: it hard for him.

74
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 2: So much made of this Brian Flores defense and the

75
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 2: scheme and the pressure that he brings to opposing offenses.

76
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 2: How did you feel like you guys as a unit

77
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:44,919
Speaker 2: handled that today.

78
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think the guys at times, you know, up

79
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:48,799
Speaker 3: there up front, I think I can, I can help

80
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 3: them out and be more demonstrative about where I want

81
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 3: to send them and where I want them to go.

82
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 3: But really I think, you know, we blocked it up

83
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:55,799
Speaker 3: when you know we got it right, and I think

84
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 3: there's times where you know they're gonna get us.

85
00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: You know, that's what he does.

86
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:00,639
Speaker 3: He tries to create kind of chaos, and I think

87
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 3: that's what it's good for us to see and know.

88
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,119
Speaker 3: And sometimes that the line you may not know, Hey,

89
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 3: this guy coming and there just bluffing that.

90
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 1: So it's good for us to see it. And I

91
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: think it's great for us to learn from whatever. Yeah, yeah,

92
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 1: I think it's a little with him a lot.

93
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 3: I think he uh, obviously he lived it throughout practice

94
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 3: and he knows a lot of the guys. You know personally,

95
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 3: and I think, uh, I think for him and he's

96
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 3: just it's a different system than you know, what he

97
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 3: was doing here in Minnesota, so it's a little different

98
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 3: for him. But now he said, you know the rules

99
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 3: in the offense, just follow that. And he felt like,

100
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 3: you know, I think the Mike points they try to

101
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 3: you know, move some guys around when playing safety, then

102
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 3: goes a linebacker, then he's on the edge, so they

103
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 3: do a good job of mixing up. And I think,

104
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 3: you know, we're on when we were on the same

105
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 3: page and you know, I was, you know, quicking out of.

106
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 1: Huddle, off we had a good play.

107
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 2: How much the combination of practice but also being here

108
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 2: for the joint practices in the preseason game help you

109
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 2: evolve with the Josh McDaniels offense and get you where

110
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 2: you need to be for.

111
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: That's great for me to get new looks.

112
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 3: I was, I was bummed out in two minutes in

113
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 3: in Washington, and I think, you know, I think we

114
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 3: had a good uh you know, first two minutes and

115
00:03:57,760 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 3: a touchdown.

116
00:03:58,240 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: We needed to feel gold to tie, so that's always good.

117
00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 3: And and coming back out of us, you know, the

118
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 3: second two minutes, I think we had a good first

119
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 3: play and took a sack of thing down and you

120
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 3: can't do that. So things like that you learn and

121
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 3: you know, and looks not there. I think in two minutes,

122
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 3: just to find answers and find hey and you'll learn

123
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 3: from that. And that's like, you know, we protect the ball.

124
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 3: It's like I didn't, you know, really put in harm's way.

125
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 3: And then it's good for us to see new new defenders,

126
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 3: guys that are gonna be grabbing and holding and maybe

127
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 3: you have different skill set than our guys. So it's

128
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:23,839
Speaker 3: pretty cool to be out here and get a new look.

129
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 1: It seems like, yeah, he's a beast.

130
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 3: You see a different energy out there, you know, and

131
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 3: you know joint practices and games, and I think you'll

132
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 3: just challenge him to bring it every day and when

133
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 3: we're facing our defense.

134
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:39,280
Speaker 1: You know, there's no days off in this league.

135
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 3: You win a game, you lose a game, you're right back,

136
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,280
Speaker 3: you know, and practice on Monday or or practice on Wednesday. Uh,

137
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:45,839
Speaker 3: you're back at with a new team and a new

138
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 3: you know edge rusher that's you know, just as good

139
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 3: as the one in the past. So I think challenge

140
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,039
Speaker 3: that's what I learned, you know, kind of last year.

141
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 3: You know, it's a new week rolled over, and if

142
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 3: you will play a good game, you got to come

143
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 3: back and do it again. If you don't have a

144
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 3: good game, you get a chance to answer the next week.

145
00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 3: And I think he's him and Jared especially up front

146
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:01,839
Speaker 3: or learning here's gonna be bad place for out practice,

147
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:02,720
Speaker 3: So just bounce back from it.

148
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 4: Only a few weeks off before the regular season starts.

149
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 4: What do you hope to really work on in the

150
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 4: next three or four weeks here?

151
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:12,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think, yeah, I think just continuing to build

152
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 3: them what we got, you know, build them the wayships

153
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 3: with the guys, you know, I think just kind of

154
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 3: secreting a unity within the offense and you were within

155
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 3: the team to fight for each other, to grab tuning

156
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 3: out here in the joint practice to you know, play

157
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 3: against somebody else and come together the team instead of

158
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 3: kind of being offense firsus defense, and really just that

159
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 3: then just kind of me just kind of getting used

160
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 3: to game planning and and how your coach likes to

161
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 3: do it, you know, on offense, and just kind of

162
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 3: studying the plan and how we're execute it.

163
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,160
Speaker 2: When we get the week one it seems like Mike

164
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 2: is trying to draw more out of you as a leader,

165
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 2: and he had some comments about it this morning, so

166
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:44,479
Speaker 2: you know, it's not that you're lacking in that area,

167
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 2: but he wants more, like he wants more from everybody

168
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 2: in the area. Does it get annoying when he's on

169
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:51,359
Speaker 2: you about that sort of stuff or do you like

170
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 2: being pushed in that way?

171
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 1: Is that as that stood out to you as something

172
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 1: that he's focused.

173
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:56,039
Speaker 3: No, I think I think I want that, you know,

174
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 3: I want somebody to you know, push me to you know,

175
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 3: do more for the team, have more of an impact

176
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 3: with the guys around me. You know, I feel like

177
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 3: if I have that, and I feel like I'm not

178
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 3: showing it myself, and I need somebody to push me along.

179
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 3: And I think, you know, us guys on offense, you know,

180
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,359
Speaker 3: the big veterans and and Michael Winhu and and Morgan

181
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,839
Speaker 3: and Hunter and Madre and those guys and Steph Diggs

182
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 3: are gonna challenge ourselves to hey, you know Garret Braba

183
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 3: in there, to push ourselves to lead. And you know,

184
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 3: really I think it it starts with me, you know,

185
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 3: building those guys, and then from there, I think guys

186
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:24,600
Speaker 3: can kind of bounce off and and really told those

187
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 3: guys to push me, because you know, once I feel

188
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:27,600
Speaker 3: like they're pushing me, I feel like I can, you know,

189
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 3: give back questions.

190
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 1: Guy, do you want to be a captain?

191
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:32,359
Speaker 4: Does that matter to you?

192
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: Yeah? I think it's a great honor.

193
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 3: I think it's something that you know, you don't take

194
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 3: lightly around here, especially with you know this this this

195
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,279
Speaker 3: Patriot teams in the past, with the captains they had

196
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 3: you always, you know, it's it's an aspiration to be

197
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 3: a captain. But you know there's a lot of guys

198
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 3: on this team that deserve that. And I've played a

199
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 3: long time in this league.

200
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 2: The coaches mentioned that second long situations were big empasis today,

201
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:53,719
Speaker 2: I'm curious, how does that valuable for you as the quarterback?

202
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 3: And also, yeah, just find a managable third down.

203
00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 1: That's huge.

204
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 3: There's times we've got to incomplete pass on first down

205
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:01,839
Speaker 3: or maybe a run they didn't go as well, and

206
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,679
Speaker 3: there was times where you gotta be back in second

207
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 3: and ten and get half or try to get half,

208
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:08,040
Speaker 3: or try to make it manage with third and down.

209
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 3: That's huge in this league.

210
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: So thank you God, Yeah, thank you thanks for appreciate
