I mean I've obviously seen the work 100 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,599 Speaker 2: dude's been putting in and uh, I mean you see 101 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,040 Speaker 2: you see it shown on on Sundays, and I'm extremely 102 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:24,840 Speaker 2: proud of you. 103 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 3: Happy for you. 104 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 2: Man, continue balling. Give him his Pro Bowl votes, guys, 105 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 2: because for me, he's got well, he's got ninety nine tackles. 106 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 2: This crazy at least all safeties and wow, yeah, I've 107 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 2: been running the ball and then. 108 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 3: I'm gonna just not get tired of the game. 109 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 4: This off season, I was my biggest thing I wanted 110 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:44,040 Speaker 4: to focus on with my tackling. A few mistackles this 111 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 4: this past year, my second season, more than it was 112 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:48,840 Speaker 4: my standard. So I was like, that's the biggest thing 113 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 4: because my transition from corner to safety tackling is way 114 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 4: different because she was a whole life corner, my whole 115 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:57,680 Speaker 4: life until I got to the league. So for the 116 00:04:57,720 --> 00:04:59,719 Speaker 4: last year been my first year as a full time starter. 117 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 4: I all that it's it's way different than playing corner, 118 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 4: just the angles and everything. So that's what I focused 119 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 4: on this year. Now we have five games left in 120 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 4: that ninety nine tackles, Now I'm trying to get at 121 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:11,919 Speaker 4: least one thirty. 122 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,040 Speaker 3: That's to go trying to the record. I'm trying to 123 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:15,360 Speaker 3: break some type of record. 124 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 2: I think, who's got the most tackles as a safety? 125 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 1: As a safety, I'm sure Troy Polamalo was up there 126 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,680 Speaker 1: at every Jamal Adams he I mean that that year 127 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 1: that you had that year with your greats, with the greats, 128 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 1: but I mean you said you've never had one hundred 129 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:30,360 Speaker 1: tackles in your life. 130 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 3: Never. 131 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,840 Speaker 4: I think the most I had last year was eighty one. 132 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,400 Speaker 4: Still missed a lot of tackles, could have had more. 133 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 4: And I was playing corner. I was getting sixty and 134 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 4: I was the team high. I had the most tackles 135 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 4: size the linebackers.

But like now, it's 138 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:50,080 Speaker 3: it's different. 139 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:54,040 Speaker 2: So and you were twenty four, yea quick quick story, guys, 140 00:05:55,240 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 2: he's still saw So I got drafted.

Just the history of the PAC twelve. 170 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 1: Just understanding that this is the last year that we'll 171 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 1: ever see this conference, Like how crazy is that? 172 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,840 Speaker 4: Just understanding that it's weird that a whole Power five 173 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:20,240 Speaker 4: conference is getting you raised. 174 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 2: Yeah. 175 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 4: I thought from my understanding, I thought, okay, just a 176 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 4: few teams are going to move and some other teams 177 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 4: are feeling and still be the PAC twelve. I don't 178 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 4: know exactly how it's going to work in the future, 179 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 4: but that's what I thought. And now they're saying, like 180 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 4: that's the end of the PAC twelve conference. But I'm 181 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 4: glad Cal won the last Pac twelve game and existed. 182 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 4: They beat UCLA for the last game in PAC twelve history. 183 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 4: So we left off on a good mark if. 184 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 2: You think about it, like think about all the conferences, 185 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 2: you know, SEC, Big twelve, Big ten. 186 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:48,160 Speaker 3: You're like, what is PAC twelve? 187 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, with all the respect. 188 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 2: With all due respect, no disrespect, shout out to all 189 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 2: the great guys that came out of a lot of great. 190 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:56,960 Speaker 1: Great show Reggie bush Man. 191 00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 2: But I think it was time to really cancel that 192 00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 2: PAC twelve conf for instance, really just put them in 193 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:04,640 Speaker 2: a conference where they can you know, compete at and 194 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 2: fight for championships, because I mean, it's been a long 195 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 2: time since the Pack twelve team on a championship? 196 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 3: What about team? 197 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 1: What about schools said that about the Big twelve? Right, Like. 198 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:19,280 Speaker 2: I would say, Oklahoma is really like its own conference. Okay, 199 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 2: teams want to teams want to play us. But now 200 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 2: the SEC SEC and I'm super excited, Yes, compete compete 201 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 2: against these top notch SEC teams. So it's gonna be fun, 202 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,559 Speaker 2: and uh, college football is gonna be fun. I just 203 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 2: hope they change how they do the committee because what 204 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 2: happened in Florida State was actually pretty crazy. 205 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:39,840 Speaker 3: That's insane. 206 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 2: That's act undefeated, that they're wrong, undefeated. 207 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,080 Speaker 4: Nothing wrong, you get bumped out. That's insane to me. 208 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:47,600 Speaker 4: Well you know itself. 209 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 1: Didn't the committee say like it takes like they way 210 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,400 Speaker 1: they weigh the fact that if you have key players 211 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,359 Speaker 1: that aren't going to play, that goes into the selection process. 212 00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,080 Speaker 2: No matter if Jordan Travis is playing or not. That 213 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:03,640 Speaker 2: them boys play twelve games and won every single one 214 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 2: of them, and I think we kind of forget that 215 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 2: winning is the most important thing, you know, while we're 216 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 2: playing the sport. 217 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 3: Like that's true. 218 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 2: So I think those guys should have got rewarded despite 219 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 2: losing their quarterback because they definitely took advantage of going 220 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 2: out there and defeating their opponent every single week. 221 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:23,440 Speaker 1: So I look at it as I'm a little biased, right. 222 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 1: I grew up a Florida State fan and I went 223 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:27,440 Speaker 1: to Liberty. So my thing is like, all right, if 224 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 1: you put Florida State in, you gotta put Liberty in. 225 00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:35,200 Speaker 1: I'm joking. Look, I'm a big I'm a big, you know, 226 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,079 Speaker 1: just a realist. And for us to get Oregon and 227 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,319 Speaker 1: the Fiesta Bowl, it's like, look, this is probably the 228 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:42,480 Speaker 1: best we're going to get, but still Florida State. You 229 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 1: look at that and say, if your quarterback isn't playing, 230 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 1: how key is that to future games? I look at 231 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,680 Speaker 1: it and say, well, maybe the playoff committee made a 232 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 1: decision best for the fans instead of best for what's 233 00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 1: actually going on. Thirteen year old tam shall automatically get in. 234 00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:58,200 Speaker 1: But if you look at Florida State when they played 235 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 1: Louisville with their thirsteen quarterba back, I mean they were 236 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 1: running wildcat with their running back to start on the 237 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,680 Speaker 1: second half, that's not you can't. 238 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 2: Still play good. 239 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:07,720 Speaker 1: I think that's true. 240 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 2: The defense still played good in I mean, I think 241 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,680 Speaker 2: I think this, like, all right, let's talk about the 242 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 2: Oklahoma team. You know what I'm saying. Having Calin Murray, 243 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 2: god forbid, But like let's say Colin Murray would have 244 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 2: got hurt, you still would put it undefeated Oklahoma team 245 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:22,160 Speaker 2: because it's Lincoln Riley, and you would want to see 246 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,040 Speaker 2: who the backup is and how Lincoln Rody can shake 247 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 2: with that. So I think, honestly, you just give him 248 00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:29,720 Speaker 2: an opportunity, man, and they took advantage of every opportunity 249 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 2: they had this season. 250 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 3: When I give him more, it does carry weight. 251 00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 4: Beating the number one team though kind of yeah, and 252 00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:38,360 Speaker 4: Bamas to be to be Devil's advocate, it kind of 253 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 4: carries to knock them off. I thought it would go 254 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,360 Speaker 4: Who's the number one team now Michigan, Michigan. 255 00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:45,760 Speaker 3: But so Georgia got bumped out the whole. 256 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 1: Yeah Texas, I know you don't want to hear that, 257 00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:50,920 Speaker 1: but Texas is a three seed now. 258 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,280 Speaker 2: I don't think Texas, I think done. 259 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 3: Why not? 260 00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,679 Speaker 2: We had an opportunity. We didn't take advantage of all 261 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:02,480 Speaker 2: our and we could have put us we could put 262 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:04,160 Speaker 2: ourselves in the position to go out there and compete 263 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,320 Speaker 2: for a Big Toe championship, but we didn't. So I 264 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,040 Speaker 2: got nothing to say about Textas other than we beat 265 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,080 Speaker 2: them week six or amount of the most. 266 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:13,520 Speaker 1: Well, speaking of championships, this Vikings team still has an 267 00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,000 Speaker 1: opportunity to win the ultimate championship. And when we get 268 00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:17,440 Speaker 1: back from the break, we're going to talk a little 269 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,280 Speaker 1: bit of Vikings football and how we see this NFC 270 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:23,800 Speaker 1: North or NFC picture kind of playing itself out as 271 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:25,800 Speaker 1: the season goes on.

I'm not gonna I'm not gonna 306 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,600 Speaker 4: mess mess up one I'm not going to mess up 307 00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:20,079 Speaker 4: one thing in my routine these next five weeks. I'm 308 00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:22,160 Speaker 4: taking it one week at a time. You realize how 309 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:24,839 Speaker 4: quick these weeks go. You may think five weeks that's 310 00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:28,480 Speaker 4: a long time. Really you only have two three real 311 00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:31,480 Speaker 4: practices in a week, so it's like you got to 312 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:35,160 Speaker 4: pour everything into those eighteen to twenty four reps. 313 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,360 Speaker 3: You get per practice and that's really all you get. 314 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 4: So I'm literally breaking it down play by play, every 315 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:43,600 Speaker 4: team segment. It's like, okay, I need to do every 316 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:45,600 Speaker 4: play perfect else that's going to affect how I play 317 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:49,000 Speaker 4: on Sunday. So really, my routine is really strict, and 318 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,600 Speaker 4: I'm making sure that these next five weeks, especially with 319 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,240 Speaker 4: the late bye, I see that as an advantage because 320 00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:56,880 Speaker 4: now we feel recharged later in the season, so now 321 00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 4: we can really start our trajectory up and make sure 322 00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:05,480 Speaker 4: that we're rolling and progressing as other teams are maybe 323 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,600 Speaker 4: kind of staying even or getting tired, and even whether 324 00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,600 Speaker 4: injuries are happening or just the late season fatigue, Like 325 00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:13,800 Speaker 4: this is when we have to rise. So that's my 326 00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 4: personal process right now. 327 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,079 Speaker 1: What about you? I mean, be Flow said earlier in 328 00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:19,800 Speaker 1: the week when he came to y'all's meeting room, he said, 329 00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:23,560 Speaker 1: we got thirty five days, thirty five guaranteed days thirty three. Now, yeah, 330 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,920 Speaker 1: thirty three record this episode, So what can. 331 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:29,800 Speaker 3: Three ski? 332 00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:33,680 Speaker 1: That means something? Now, hello, talk to me. What's your process? 333 00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,680 Speaker 2: Hey? Obviously you know this season has been kind of 334 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:38,680 Speaker 2: a long season for me. But at the end of 335 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:40,400 Speaker 2: the day, man, we got to take it one day 336 00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:42,440 Speaker 2: at a time, and for me, it's just like how 337 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,880 Speaker 2: can I get better each single day? And that's what 338 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 2: my mindset, approaching it like it's my job. I think 339 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,120 Speaker 2: that's the most important thing for me, is like changing 340 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,680 Speaker 2: my mindset, you know what I mean. And as rookie 341 00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:55,880 Speaker 2: into going into your second year, it's all about mindset 342 00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 2: because you know what's going on, but it's not like, 343 00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:01,120 Speaker 2: what's your approach to the situation, what's your approach to practice, 344 00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:04,160 Speaker 2: what's your approach to work? So that's how that's what 345 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,880 Speaker 2: I'm doing, you know, just coming in treating it like 346 00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 2: it's my job.

Man, it's gonna be fun. 356 00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:33,320 Speaker 1: What does it take to get to that point where 357 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,240 Speaker 1: you kind of get to the point of saying, look, 358 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 1: this is a job. Now, I clock in, I gotta 359 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,840 Speaker 1: be perfect. I gotta get every step perfect.

So I think that's kind of like the 367 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:02,680 Speaker 2: big thing. I think people have to go through things 368 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:04,800 Speaker 2: in order to change, and that's what growth comes in. 369 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:07,400 Speaker 2: You got to go through stuff to grow from it. 370 00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:10,000 Speaker 2: And from there, man, it's just how you're going how 371 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:11,680 Speaker 2: you're you gonna react to the situation from there. 372 00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:14,080 Speaker 3: So yeah, i'd pay you back off of that. 373 00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:15,960 Speaker 4: You figure out the things you need to grow at 374 00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:19,880 Speaker 4: bia adversity and adjust your process based off of that, 375 00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:22,120 Speaker 4: because you got to fix your routine based off of 376 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,200 Speaker 4: what goes on. So exactly, if I'm working on a 377 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,880 Speaker 4: certain thing after a game because I messed up, but 378 00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:29,000 Speaker 4: I fixed that, and I mess up on something the 379 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,080 Speaker 4: next game, I have to add that to my routine 380 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,440 Speaker 4: to fix that mistake and new things. You have to 381 00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:35,760 Speaker 4: always be like water and be able to be like 382 00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:40,200 Speaker 4: the water like that always flow, always flowing. So yeah, 383 00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,160 Speaker 4: I don't think just flow. 384 00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,440 Speaker 3: Figure out your process and your routine based off of that. 385 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:47,640 Speaker 2: That's good man.

Defensively 428 00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:34,800 Speaker 1: is going to be the biggest question mark fast forward. 429 00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:36,800 Speaker 1: I know it's the team sport, but defense has been 430 00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:40,560 Speaker 1: the saving grace or the bread and butter of what this. 431 00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:42,240 Speaker 2: Is. 432 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:47,320 Speaker 1: Right now that is a good song, but yeah, talk 433 00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:50,919 Speaker 1: to me about what change in the mindset of Okay, 434 00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:52,959 Speaker 1: we go from last place in the NFL a year 435 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:56,399 Speaker 1: ago to a top fifteen defense now with you know, 436 00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:59,920 Speaker 1: arguably a lot of new guys, but not the premiere 437 00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:01,960 Speaker 1: names that you see on paper. 438 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,040 Speaker 2: I think it was our mindset. We had to go 439 00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,600 Speaker 2: through something, and it was that zero and three stretch 440 00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:09,400 Speaker 2: from there. I think that's when we started to find ourselves, 441 00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:13,560 Speaker 2: find our identity. The defense was still the defense. It 442 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,320 Speaker 2: was simple, and you know, guys are doing their job 443 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:19,520 Speaker 2: to the best our ability, playing fast, playing physical. Edge 444 00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:22,159 Speaker 2: players are sending edge. Cutback players are playing cutback, and 445 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:25,399 Speaker 2: we're defeating blocks and doing our jobs. So that's the 446 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:28,040 Speaker 2: most important thing, you know, on defense for us, And 447 00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:30,920 Speaker 2: I think guys kind of honed into their responsibilities and 448 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:34,080 Speaker 2: just went out there and just attacked, you know, attacked 449 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:36,320 Speaker 2: with their brothers. And it's kind of cool to see 450 00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:39,600 Speaker 2: the camaraderie we have as a as a unit. With 451 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:43,199 Speaker 2: the celebrations. They like, it looks like we're having a lot, 452 00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:44,720 Speaker 2: and I think that's kind of what was missing in 453 00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 2: the beginning, Like we weren't having fun, and we checked 454 00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:50,800 Speaker 2: it and now we have a celebration coordinator. We got 455 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,240 Speaker 2: everything playned now, and it's it's pretty cool to go 456 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:55,439 Speaker 2: out there and see the guys compete, you know, together 457 00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 2: and have fun. 458 00:19:56,560 --> 00:20:00,159 Speaker 1: When I think of celebration coordinator, I think of someone 459 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:03,200 Speaker 1: who looks at upcoming matchups and say, okay, we should 460 00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:05,160 Speaker 1: be able to pick this guy offer for some fumbles. 461 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 1: We got another rookie quarterback we're facing this weekend, Aid 462 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 1: and O'Connell. When it comes to preparation, what changes when 463 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:13,520 Speaker 1: preparing for a rookie versus a VET at quarterback. 464 00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:17,720 Speaker 4: It's a weird, weird thing to prepare for because there's 465 00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:19,920 Speaker 4: not a lot of film on him and just new 466 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:23,800 Speaker 4: guys overall, so it's almost I wouldn't say tougher, it's 467 00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 4: just you have to realize, Okay, he's going to do 468 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:28,040 Speaker 4: what he does and they're going to keep it simple 469 00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:30,119 Speaker 4: for him. So we need to make these simple plays 470 00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:31,800 Speaker 4: and we need to mix it up on the back 471 00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:34,399 Speaker 4: end to really show that confusion with the VET quarterback. 472 00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:35,080 Speaker 3: They've seen it all. 473 00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:37,920 Speaker 4: They can call out your blitzes with the rookie somebody 474 00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:39,800 Speaker 4: that hasn't been in the NFL, especially with this type 475 00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:42,119 Speaker 4: of defense that we run, it's going to be a 476 00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 4: lot of moving parts for a younger guys. 477 00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:45,440 Speaker 3: So that's what we have to know that. 478 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:48,119 Speaker 4: We have to continue to do that all game and 479 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,879 Speaker 4: show different looks so we can get those opportunities so 480 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:51,760 Speaker 4: we can turn up I. 481 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:56,760 Speaker 2: Think, honestly, just to do the routine things routinely. Like 482 00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:59,920 Speaker 2: I said, edge players are setting the edge players play, cut, 483 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:04,040 Speaker 2: defeat blocks, and go get the ball. That's it. That's 484 00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:04,600 Speaker 2: what we got to do. 485 00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:05,000 Speaker 3: Simple. 486 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:07,760 Speaker 2: It's simple. And you know, once we make the simple 487 00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,520 Speaker 2: things simple out there, you'll see guys, you know, fine 488 00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:14,080 Speaker 2: on with their head cut off, making tagles and making players. 489 00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:17,360 Speaker 2: So it's gonna be fun. I'm excited for this matchup 490 00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:19,840 Speaker 2: Vegas Vegas. It's gonna be cool. 491 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 1: Well, look we'll end that show in today's show with that. 492 00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:24,840 Speaker 1: I mean, having you guys here is always a pleasure. 493 00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:27,520 Speaker 1: BA you know, whenever you want to come back the 494 00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:30,159 Speaker 1: floor or so, Vikings fans, I hope you guys enjoyed 495 00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:33,040 Speaker 1: today's edition of the Minnesota Vikings podcast.
