Speaker 3: his second season as head coach of the Minnesota Vikings.

12
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:43,159
Speaker 3: Any kind of a different feel for you coming up

13
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 3: to this, I mean, obviously now that you've done it

14
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 3: for a full year. I've heard you talk about the

15
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,239
Speaker 3: defense and maybe you know, should have looked at this

16
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:51,240
Speaker 3: and stuff like that.

17
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:53,159
Speaker 1: Just put that whole thing together.

18
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 3: And how you feel right now up to this Bucks

19
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 3: game compared to the Green Bay game last year?

20
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think you know, anytime you have a chance to,

21
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 4: you know, experience things in a lot of ways. I've

22
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 4: been doing this for a while but not as the

23
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,639
Speaker 4: head coach, not as the you know, truly in charge

24
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 4: of everything. And I think, uh, the comfort level I feel.

25
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 4: You're always going to have anks going into a season,

26
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 4: There's always going to be unknowns, but just the comfort

27
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 4: level I feel overall, not only within my role, but

28
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 4: with you know, bringing in flow and being able to

29
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 4: lean on his leadership Matt Daniels with the Special Teams

30
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,399
Speaker 4: group that you know did continues to do a great

31
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 4: job there bringing bringing a major, major part of our

32
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:39,399
Speaker 4: team along. And then just offensively, you know, having our

33
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,559
Speaker 4: staff together and being able to go through a full

34
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,039
Speaker 4: process of evaluating last season.

35
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:46,559
Speaker 5: You know, we did a lot of really good things.

36
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 4: There were a lot of areas we really wanted to

37
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 4: focus on, and then ultimately, you know, getting into the

38
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 4: nitty gritty of game planning and what you feel like

39
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 4: as the head coach it's going to take to win

40
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 4: the game. In all three phases, I feel very comfortable,

41
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 4: you know, not only going through that evaluation process, but

42
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 4: then when we put the plans into motion, articulate to

43
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 4: the team how we need to get that done, practice

44
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 4: the right ways to make sure we're preparing our guys,

45
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 4: and then we turn them loose twelve noon at US

46
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 4: Bank Stadium.

47
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 3: How would you describe just in totality, I know things

48
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 3: change offensively and defensively, but Brian Florez defense, yep, Like,

49
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 3: how would you describe it?

50
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 5: Well?

51
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 4: I think, you know, in a lot of ways, if

52
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 4: you really get down to the bare bones of it,

53
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 4: it's not that much different than how I would describe

54
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 4: our offense as far as trying to apply pressure with

55
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 4: the different tools that we have at our disposal, using

56
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:42,239
Speaker 4: our personnel to maximize all eleven guys that we put

57
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 4: on the field, and then ultimately being you know, a

58
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 4: situationally based team defense that allows us to try to

59
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,639
Speaker 4: take away some things that our opponents do well, make

60
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 4: them go to their off speed pitches all well, having

61
00:02:55,960 --> 00:03:00,679
Speaker 4: awareness that catastrophe could happen at any time with the

62
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,639
Speaker 4: style that we play, where we're not going to sit

63
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 4: back and just kind of play, you know, even though

64
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 4: things sometimes can look good on a chalkboard, in the end,

65
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 4: playing defensive football is about aggression. It's about tackling, it's

66
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 4: about violence at the line of scrimmage, and then it's

67
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,919
Speaker 4: about just trying to confuse the not only the quarterback

68
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 4: on the other side. But our defensive scheme will limit

69
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 4: the amount of offense that we will see just because

70
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 4: of the problems that we can cause.

71
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 3: Rookie corner Mackay Blackman, he's all business, busney.

72
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 1: He's just like straightforward business.

73
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's been great from day one.

74
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 4: And I don't know if he's been extra comfortable just

75
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 4: coming with Jordan Addison from you know, from USC but

76
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 4: those guys have both been great. But I really love

77
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 4: the way Mackay has really fit into the role of,

78
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 4: you know, kind of being a guy that can play inside,

79
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 4: he can play outside. He's shown to be a good

80
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 4: tackler in space. He's showing a lot of the things

81
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 4: that we had hoped and he's kind of taken on

82
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 4: an NFL approach, which is not always the case with

83
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 4: rookies and rightly so. But the transition for Makai has

84
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 4: been a smooth one. Now my challenge to him is,

85
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 4: can you, you know, can you replicate preparation equaling good

86
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 4: performances on Sunday and then through the grind of for

87
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 4: the first time in his life playing seventeen plus games hopefully.

88
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:23,280
Speaker 3: Well well, speaking of transitioning, and I may be you know,

89
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 3: over exemplifying this or stretching it a little bit, But

90
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 3: I might not be either. With Josh Mittellis, I mean

91
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,480
Speaker 3: that I'll never forget seeing him on the sideline of

92
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:34,840
Speaker 3: Soldier Field when he got that seat, when you gave

93
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,039
Speaker 3: him the captain he wears the c which is big

94
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 3: here in the state of hockey, and it, I mean

95
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 3: it was like life changing for him, you know, that

96
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 3: day and then some things he said in the off

97
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 3: season and watching him through the off season.

98
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: Don't you just love stories like Metellus.

99
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:54,479
Speaker 4: I love stories like Mattellis for so many reasons. Pa,

100
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,479
Speaker 4: But you know, I don't know if you can have

101
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 4: enough guys like Josh on a football team. What is

102
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:04,159
Speaker 4: he It's incredibly tough. He's in he loves playing the

103
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 4: game of football. He loves whatever role you give him,

104
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 4: whatever assignment you give him. He's going to go out

105
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,039
Speaker 4: there and he's going to do everything in his physical

106
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 4: power to to do the things that he does well.

107
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 4: And I think that's where coaching comes into play and

108
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 4: allowing Josh's versatility to come to life before our very eyes.

109
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 4: He's always been an absolute demon on special teams for

110
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,359
Speaker 4: people to deal with, and that can carry over to

111
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 4: the defensive side and that can still maintain on that special.

112
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 5: Teams phase that he's on.

113
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 4: But I think the coolest thing has just been watching

114
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 4: him feel comfortable in our environment, our culture here, really

115
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:44,839
Speaker 4: thriving as a leader. Teammates voted him pretty darn close

116
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:46,480
Speaker 4: to humanimous as a captain.

117
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 1: Wow.

118
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 4: And he spoke to the team during training camp. Just

119
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 4: all these ways that the respect level for a player

120
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,480
Speaker 4: like Josh it is what it is based upon how

121
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 4: he plays the game of football. But then when people

122
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 4: watch him work and how much he's been become a

123
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 4: mentor of some sorts to a lot of the younger

124
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 4: players on our team and really also pushing some of

125
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 4: our veterans to be at their best.

126
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 5: And I just can't say enough about Josh.

127
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 3: And you know, this is another little bit of a stretch,

128
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 3: but the offensive version of Josh is kind of CJ.

129
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 1: Ham.

130
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 3: You know, he's underrafted, He's had to work for every

131
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,279
Speaker 3: single thing. When you got here, you guys didn't roster

132
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,040
Speaker 3: a fullback on the Super Bowl champion l A. Rams,

133
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 3: So I'm kind of like, hey, you know, but then

134
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 3: he makes the team, he's sticking around. He's a captain,

135
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 3: I mean CJ Ham. Is it best to describe him

136
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 3: as the consummate teammate.

137
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, consummate teammate, consummant, pro so versatile with what he

138
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 4: brings to our offense and how we can play the

139
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 4: game a lot of different ways. I think, you know,

140
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 4: when I think of CJ, I think of some of

141
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 4: those players. I think coaching in this league, it's great

142
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 4: what you know and what you have experience with that

143
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 4: is that is a great starting point. But truly being

144
00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 4: a coach that can adapt and evolve to highlight your

145
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 4: players that you feel that give you a great chance

146
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 4: to have success and be versatile and multiple and how

147
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 4: you want to play.

148
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 5: And we've been able to do that with CJ.

149
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 4: You know, quite honestly, I wish we could have did

150
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 4: it more in year one, but CJ knows, you know,

151
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 4: we've grown and adapted together and he's had a big

152
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 4: role in that, and I'm really excited to just see

153
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:24,119
Speaker 4: the way his impact on our team fullbacks. It doesn't

154
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 4: always show up on the stat sheet, but Minnesota Vikings

155
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,239
Speaker 4: fans can be very confident knowing we've got a player

156
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 4: like CJ as part of our offense.

157
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 1: And keeping it.

158
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,200

Speaker 3: Minnesota Lottery KFA and your home for Vikings Football, the

160
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 3: Vikings Radio Network and Vikings dot Com, Vikings and Bucks

161
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 3: Noons Sunday on the fan pregame at ten, sticking with

162
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 3: the backfield, your your play action game with Madison and

163
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 3: or Chandler. What's key to making sure defenses respect the

164
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 3: play pass now that Dalvin has departed.

165
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, you got to still be able to run the football.

166
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 4: And part of marrying the run in the pass is

167
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 4: being efficient and and getting you know, moving the rock

168
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 4: forwards on all downs keeps you and manageable down in

169
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 4: distances where the whole playbook can be open and there's

170
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 4: there's no such thing as a bad play call on

171
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 4: second and five, second four. You can run it, you

172
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 4: can throw it, you can screen, you can move the

173
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 4: quarterback off the spot, whatever you need to do. But

174
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 4: the starting point is, you know, the best play passes

175
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 4: in our league come by putting defenders in conflict.

176
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 5: Hey, I'm a linebacker safety.

177
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 4: I'm responsible for this gap, that gap being threatened in

178
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 4: the run game. If I don't activate to go try

179
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:43,839
Speaker 4: to make a tackle normally ends in an efficient run,

180
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,680
Speaker 4: and then what happens off of that is the is

181
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 4: the beauty of coaching and trying to design plays to

182
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 4: fill the voids and vacancies that guys being responsible for

183
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 4: two things at once tend to struggle with on defense sometimes.

184
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,440
Speaker 4: But the key is forcing defenses to feel like they've

185
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,599
Speaker 4: got to activate front structures and coverages to defend the

186
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 4: run and then ultimately try to you know, take advantage

187
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 4: of that in the past game and what it will

188
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 4: do for our receivers and a guy like TJ Hockinson

189
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,320
Speaker 4: to have not only a run game going, but the

190
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 4: multiple looks we can provide with CJ in the game,

191
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:19,680
Speaker 4: with Josh Oliver, maybe both those guys in the game

192
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 4: with TJ, all while keeping number eighteen on the field

193
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 4: as well as a pretty good I.

194
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 1: Mean that right there.

195
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 3: I'm just you know, I have kind of a major

196
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 3: obsession until we start playing the games and seeing how

197
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 3: those things are.

198
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:30,079
Speaker 1: Going to work.

199
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:31,439
Speaker 5: No, you don't. I never noticed that.

200
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 3: Well, because there's so much new again, twelve person now,

201
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 3: which would be too tight ends in a running back

202
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 3: Hockinson and Oliver which technically can be thirteen personnel extra receiver,

203
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 3: Hackinson as a receiver, Ish tight end and Oliver. I

204
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 3: mean it's a pick your poison here, isn't it.

205
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 1: As a play caller, you have to.

206
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 4: Love that It allows us to make people defend more gaps.

207
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:55,680
Speaker 4: And what I mean by that is the more big

208
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 4: bodies you have, the more combinations and different run schemes

209
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,440
Speaker 4: you can run all well, still using the skill sets

210
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 4: of all of those players in the past game and

211
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 4: using the ebbs and flows of a game and how

212
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 4: people want to try to defend you. It makes it

213
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 4: hard to just hone in on eleven personnels. Hey there's

214
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,840
Speaker 4: three wide receivers out there. Let's play personnel like this,

215
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 4: Let's play coverage to JJ like this. We just make

216
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 4: it a little bit harder on our opponents to carry

217
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:25,840
Speaker 4: over multiple facets of the game plan. And ultimately, what

218
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 4: you hope is as your comfort level as an offense

219
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 4: continues to rise with week in and week out, how

220
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 4: you want to play the game, carrying certain things over,

221
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 4: making them start out looking the same but they end

222
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:40,319
Speaker 4: up being different. All those things tie into our overall

223
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 4: offensive philosophy. But there are no rules to say that

224
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 4: you have to have three wide receivers on the field,

225
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 4: or you're not allowed to have three tight ends or

226
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 4: two tight ends in a full back, and all of

227
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,200
Speaker 4: those things allow us to have the mentality of being physical,

228
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,719
Speaker 4: wanting to run the football with all the marriage of

229
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 4: the run in the past that we can do from there.

230
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, the complimentary aspect of football is so

231
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 3: beautiful because like you signed TJ or you trade for

232
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 3: TJ last year. All right, TJ's good, but let's not

233
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 3: forget what's going to open up for Jefferson who hadn't

234
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,439
Speaker 3: had a receiving touchdown in like a month and a half.

235
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 3: Then from FedEx on he takes off same thing with Oliver,

236
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 3: complimenting the running game, the type of personnel that you

237
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 3: want to use. So, I mean, you can sign Oliver

238
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 3: and see two career touchdowns, third round San Jose State

239
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 3: tight end. There's so much more in the ultimate team game.

240
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 5: Right yeah.

241
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,440
Speaker 4: And it's just you know, one of the things that

242
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 4: I've just noticed over time is on those early downs,

243
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 4: if you can force people to have to, you know, decide,

244
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 4: you know, the pick your poison mentality, nine times out

245
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 4: of ten people in this league are not going to

246
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 4: allow justin Jefferson to just go out there and get

247
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 4: seventy snaps versus single coverage. We know that, but how

248
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 4: can we use that information to our advantage or at

249
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,680
Speaker 4: least gain subtle advantages here and there with how we

250
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 4: deploy the other ten guys on the field. That's really

251
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 4: what we've tried to focus on. And being multiple is great,

252
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:06,560
Speaker 4: but it only matters if your players can handle it

253
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 4: and handle all the different facets of our offense that way,

254
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 4: And that's what the offseason and training camp has really.

255
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 5: Been all about.

256
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 4: And I feel like our preparation to this point, both

257
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 4: from a mentality standpoint but also from a schematic standpoint

258
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 4: of guys having true ownership of what we're trying to do.

259
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 5: I feel really good about it.

260
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 4: Like I said, we're going to roll it out there

261
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 4: and see what happens at noon on Sunday. But what

262
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 4: I'm most confident about is our ability to hopefully start

263
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 4: fast and then be able to build as the season

264
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,080
Speaker 4: goes on. With a lot of things, we've got up

265
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 4: our sleep all.

266
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 3: Right last one and with the home crowded US Bank Stadium.

267
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 3: We've talked about a zillion times on third down, coal

268
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 3: red zone coal when Baker and their offense is on

269
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 3: the field. But really they can impact the totality of

270
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 3: the game by being loud longer.

271
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:55,959
Speaker 4: You know what I mean, I do, And I think

272
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 4: it's just such a huge thing for our fans to

273
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 4: know when you're running a chech defense, which a lot

274
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,680
Speaker 4: of times we're going to be doing things based upon

275
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 4: what we see the presentation of the offense is trying

276
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,959
Speaker 4: to do pre snap, and when we check, more than

277
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:12,959
Speaker 4: likely in this league, the offense is going to try

278
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:14,960
Speaker 4: to check. So that could be first and ten to

279
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 4: start a drive, that can be a second and seven

280
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 4: in the middle of a drive. But our fans understanding

281
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 4: we've got the best home environment in the National Football League.

282
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 4: That doesn't need to just be on third down, that

283
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 4: doesn't just need to be with the game on the.

284
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 5: Line in the red zone.

285
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 4: We need a meach in every snap knowing that they

286
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 4: truly can be that twelfth man type of impact for

287
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 4: our defense, especially with how we want to play schematically,

288
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,559
Speaker 4: it all works together and our fans play.

289
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:42,080
Speaker 5: A huge role in it.

290
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:43,360

00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 7: me to be able to uh put those type of

317
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 7: guys out there, Guys that are that can be physical,

318
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 7: guys that can be finesse, you know.

319
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 6: So it's a good mixture for my room.

320
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 3: Uh what uh what potentially is special about Jordan Aison?

321
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 7: You know, I think he's a a very very good

322
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 7: route runner for for a rookie receiver. I think he

323
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 7: understands how to set dbs.

324
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 5: Uh.

325
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 7: He has great spacial awareness uh when running routes.

326
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 3: Uh.

327
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 7: I think, uh he attacks the ball really well. So

328
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 7: I think, uh people are gonna be surprised about how

329
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 7: aggressive he is to the to the catch point, you know,

330
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 7: being f for a lot of people is talking about

331
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 7: his size, but he's a really aggressive guy with his

332
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 7: hands to the catch point.

333
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 5: Uh.

334
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 7: You know the thing about what we always work on

335
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 7: as as uh making contested catches, you know, catching through contact.

336
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 7: So you know a lot of bullets are going gonna

337
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 7: be happening on Sunday, and I I'm looking forward to

338
00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 7: seeing it.

339
00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 3: Uh.

340
00:15:57,600 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 5: Keenan.

341
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 3: They they last year really with Darren your slave, you know,

342
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 3: before you guys got Hockinson, they started jacking up JJ

343
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 3: at the line a little bit.

344
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 1: That was a legitimate transition for.

345
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 3: Him, which is gonna happen young in a great player

346
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 3: or any player's career.

347
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 1: I understand that.

348
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 3: But but just as a coach do do how do

349
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 3: you and or justin combat that knowing that it's coming

350
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:23,359
Speaker 3: again this year, First.

351
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 7: And foremost, you gotta be ready for it. Because of

352
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 7: a player of his talent, people are going to try

353
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 7: to do w take you out of the game. They

354
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 7: feel like being physical with with him is as a

355
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 7: way to take him out of his game. So first

356
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 7: and foremost, mainly you gotta be ready for it. On

357
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 7: the coaching side, we got to be able to help him,

358
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 7: move him around, you know, put him in motion, get

359
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 7: him off the ball to be able to create things.

360
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 7: Put him on the side with the tight end so

361
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 7: you know it's hard to roll, roll, roll up against him.

362
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 7: So you know, that's how we got to fix it

363
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 7: as a coaching as a coaching staff. But but justin

364
00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 7: understands that, you know, he is who he is, and

365
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 7: people are going to play him the way that way

366
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 7: to stop him, to keep him out of the passing game.

367
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:06,639
Speaker 1: Did he build up his upper body in the office.

368
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:06,920
Speaker 5: I know.

369
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:09,200
Speaker 3: I mean kJ Osborne came back with the barrel chess

370
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 3: looked like a different guy.

371
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:12,399
Speaker 1: But JJ built up too, didn't he.

372
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, he looks he looks a lot bigger.

373
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 7: You know, he's uh, he's ready for you know, I

374
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 7: think he wants to add to the season that he

375
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 7: had last year, you know, get even better than what

376
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 7: he had last year. We talked about that and uh,

377
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,200
Speaker 7: you know, it just takes one one game at a time,

378
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:28,120
Speaker 7: and uh, let's see where we go from there.

379
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 3: Keenan McCardell, Minnesota Vikings wide receivers coach, is our guest

380
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 3: on x's and o's courtesy of the Minnesota Lottery.

381
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:37,120
Speaker 1: Brandon Powell is new.

382
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 3: He has one punt return touchdown in his career, happened

383
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 3: to come against the Minnesota Vikings a couple of years ago.

384
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 3: And bringing efficiency and responsibility to the punt return game

385
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:51,400
Speaker 3: obviously is important, but he plays receiver too. With with Brandon,

386
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 3: is he like a trick in a bou Ray game

387
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 3: where you can just like drop him in and like

388
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 3: fake the jet, do the jet run out of the

389
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 3: backfield little scat plays.

390
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:04,639
Speaker 1: I mean, it seems like a lot you can do

391
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 1: with him.

392
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's a lot you can do with him because

393
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 7: he's a former running back that's playing receiver, so he

394
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 7: has that toughness that you like about him where you

395
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 7: can put him in and do a lot of jet

396
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 7: sweeps bubbles to him. But what I love about Brandon

397
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,199
Speaker 7: is that he's he's brought into being a receiver. You know,

398
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 7: I'm just not the trick as everybody would say, the

399
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:26,879
Speaker 7: gadget player. I mean, he's brought into being a receiver.

400
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,359
Speaker 7: He brings a lot of toughness to our room, which

401
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:32,439
Speaker 7: I love, especially in the run game. And then you

402
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 7: see him get open with his with his quickness and

403
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:37,920
Speaker 7: ability to separate. So you know, he's a guy that

404
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 7: people have to look look for and know he's probably

405
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 7: gonna surprise a lot of people early because they're not

406
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:46,880
Speaker 7: looking for that. But he plays fast and he plays physical.

407
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, and and and then closing here, you with the

408
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 3: Buccaneers oh two and oh three. You know, you were

409
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 3: with Cleveland longer, and it's always going to be special

410
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 3: the team that brings you in. You were with Jacksonville

411
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 3: longer than the two with Tampa Bay, and you were

412
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:04,640
Speaker 3: with San Diego longer before you finished in Washington, Yet

413
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 3: the two years in Tampa Bay because of winning the

414
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:12,119
Speaker 3: Super Bowl, that probably left the most lasting impression.

415
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 7: Right, I did, because I had You know, when you

416
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,640
Speaker 7: put together a team like we put together, that those

417
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 7: friendships never leave. I mean, we're always a part of

418
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:25,360
Speaker 7: something and we'll always be the World champions of two

419
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 7: thousand and two, you know. And that's the thing that

420
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 7: that a lot of people are striving to get. We

421
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:33,360
Speaker 7: got it in Tampa. Things that you know, I talk

422
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:36,959
Speaker 7: about to our group about that. You know, when you

423
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 7: win a championship, those friendships, those bonds stayed there forever,

424
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 7: and they will always stay there forever.

425
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 3: Do you ever bring your ring into the wide receiver's room,

426
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 3: because now with Brandon, you got competition.

427
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:50,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess he has a ring.

428
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 6: He got a ring.

429
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 7: I got competition. But uh, and I don't bring it in.

430
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:56,680
Speaker 7: I mean we talk about it. You know, we get

431
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 7: to that that week, I might bring it in, you know,

432
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:00,919
Speaker 7: get if we get to Super Week, I'll bring it

433
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:02,400
Speaker 7: in and say this is what we're planning for.

434
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 2: You know.

435
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 7: I always tell him the Lombardi trophies. We always have

436
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 7: that in a in a in a PowerPoint that's what

437
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 7: we that's what we're playing for. So if we get

438
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:14,360
Speaker 7: there the week before, you know that ring, that ring

439
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:14,880
Speaker 7: will be there.

440
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 5: What job?

441
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,880
Speaker 3: Lastly, because he played here and he's such a nice man,

442
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:22,360
Speaker 3: Brad Johnson, what what was it like playing with Brad?

443
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, going right hash left boundary might

444
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:27,439
Speaker 3: not happen, might not have been the greatest outside of

445
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 3: the numbers guy ever, but he was a winner, and

446
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:30,920
Speaker 3: he was calm.

447
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 6: Yes, he was a great leader. He was calm.

448
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 7: He kept everybody composed, and he was a composer back

449
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 7: there where he keeps everybody calm. You know, if he

450
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:43,440
Speaker 7: if he was throwing it outside the numbers, he would

451
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 7: tell you about where he's going to throw it, and you,

452
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:48,639
Speaker 7: as a receiver had to make that adjustment. And me

453
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 7: and him had it, had it had it working out

454
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:54,159
Speaker 7: perfectly because he would say, Hey, I'm throwing it about

455
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 7: fifteen yards.

456
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:57,200
Speaker 6: Two yards on the sideline.

457
00:20:57,600 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 7: Just just cut that, cut that route down a little

458
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:02,359
