1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,040
Speaker 1: Injuries for today. E Tour knee will not practice. The

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:06,640
Speaker 1: Winners ankle will not practice, Huff knee will be limited,

3
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:12,240
Speaker 1: Bank's finger slash, calf will be limited, Christian McCaffrey calf slash,

4
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 1: achilles will be limited. Juwan Jennings ankle limited.

5
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:23,480
Speaker 2: But in that teacher's session yesterday did not go well or.

6
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 1: As well as hoping could might not. It's not practicing today.

7
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:39,639
Speaker 3: Christian is still limited and not just out. I mean,

8
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:41,879
Speaker 3: I'm not a doctor, but I would read that as

9
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 3: a positive sign for how he feels.

10
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:48,160
Speaker 1: Not doctor either, but I take that as positive. Yeah,

11
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 1: I agree, Yes, I do agree, but I'm not doctor.

12
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 2: Would there be any is way premature to suggest that

13
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 2: he could maybe go on I R just to make

14
00:00:58,600 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 2: sure he's good for the rest of the.

15
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 1: No, I've never considered that. Was considered him to play

16
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 1: last week. So definitely not thinking about four weeks off.

17
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 3: Sam. When you you had Sam last year for the year,

18
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 3: w what did you from him when you had him here?

19
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,679
Speaker 1: And and just what did you see from loved having

20
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,320
Speaker 1: Sam here? For he was an awesome guy. He's been

21
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 1: that way everywhere everywhere he's been, and we found it

22
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: out personally here, but always liked Sam before he got here,

23
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 1: just his talent level from college and what he had

24
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 1: seen in the NFL, and was exactly as good as advertised.

25
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 1: I mean, he's such a good athlete, so tough, can

26
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 1: make any throw, and really enjoyed working with him. I

27
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 1: thought he got better throughout the year. I know he

28
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 1: was always ready to get more opportunities in the games

29
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: if something bad happened, and fortunately for Brock, we didn't

30
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 1: have to do that til the last week. But he

31
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:53,639
Speaker 1: was really good having here as number two.

32
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 3: Who you've addressed this, Do you take me back to

33
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 3: the running up the stairs when you thought Brandon might

34
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 3: get traded, Like, how was your first on that was that?

35
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 2: Really? Did you really have to sprint to make sure?

36
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 1: I mean I had to sprint because I had a

37
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 1: team meeting at eight thirty and I was getting ready

38
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 1: for my team meeting and Brandon just randomly walked in

39
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 1: and talked to me at eight fifteen. And it's very

40
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 1: Brandon liked to pick that type of time because I

41
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,919
Speaker 1: was trying to get ready for something else. So about

42
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:27,079
Speaker 1: ten minutes and I talk to him, I realized we

43
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: need to talk a little bit more when the meeting

44
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 1: was over, and meetings can go a while and stuff,

45
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 1: and I knew we were in discussions a lot with Pittsburgh,

46
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: so I actually called up to John and he didn't

47
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 1: answer picked up on the first ring. So I just

48
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 1: wanted to make sure it wasn't on another line making

49
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:45,679
Speaker 1: any trades. So I ran up there and just said,

50
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 1: hold on, let's talk after this meeting.

51
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 3: You got to bargin No, no, I'm.

52
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 1: Not gonna make it more dramatic than already is. He

53
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 1: had randomly walked into your office, he would have been one. Well, no,

54
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 1: there was no trade done, but those were you just

55
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 1: never knowing that it's gonna happen, you know, when you're

56
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,799
Speaker 1: going through negotiations, going through trades like that stuff. That's

57
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 1: why it's hard to keep up with all the reports

58
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 1: and stuff, because stuff is going on. But I mean,

59
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:10,239
Speaker 1: nothing was intimate.

60
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 2: Would you assess Brandon's night on Monday in terms of conditioning?

61
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: Just I thought he did a good job. I mean,

62
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:20,679
Speaker 1: he never felt like he wasn't conditioned. You know, we

63
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 1: rotated him more than usual, which definitely helped. But you know,

64
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: I haven't got to talk to him yet today. But

65
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 1: I'm sure he was sore and stuff from it, but

66
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,079
Speaker 1: now the conditioning, everything was no factor.

67
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 2: Wendy night, I thought watching that thing over was just amazing.

68
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 2: The motor football IQ. He's a real special player. Didn't

69
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 2: really see him live until last night night.

70
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, now his motor's been He's like that every day

71
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 1: in practice, and especially for a guy like whatever year

72
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: it is tenth or something to be able to go

73
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: that hard in practice every day, I don't care how

74
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 1: he can keep it up. I remember Staley, who was

75
00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 1: with him in Chicago and the Rams, telling us he

76
00:03:59,920 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 1: was like that you could always see it on tape.

77
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 1: I mean, he's got such a good motor on tape,

78
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 1: but he knows no other way. He loves playing football.

79
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 1: He keeps it very simple. He likes to come out

80
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 1: there every day. He goes as hard as he can,

81
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 1: and on the games he would just cut him loose

82
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: and he kind of took over in that way, and

83
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: I think he's a really inspiring guy to watch.

84
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 3: How much have you studied the Vikings offense and what

85
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 3: kind of stands out to you about the way Kevin's.

86
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 2: Doing it over there.

87
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 1: I mean they have one game from this year, but

88
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,479
Speaker 1: you know, it's you know, going off of last year.

89
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,279
Speaker 1: In this game, it's similar how the rams were. You know,

90
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 1: Kevin does a real good job just balancing out his

91
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: drop back game with his play action. As keepers, they

92
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 1: mix in tempo and hurry up at all times. You

93
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: got to constantly be ready for that. Sometimes they're just

94
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 1: going fast. Sometimes they're making a lot of checks with

95
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmages. But it's it's a very good,

96
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 1: very good offense player friendly because this guy's a bunch

97
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: of chances to make plays and got a lot of

98
00:04:52,320 --> 00:05:00,080
Speaker 1: respect for what he's done there. He's I mean, the

99
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 1: way you can cut with his speed, Uh there's not

100
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:04,600
Speaker 1: there's not an angle. He can't really run that at

101
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 1: full speed and drop his weight. He's also fearless in

102
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 1: how he plays. His hands are as good as anyone.

103
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 1: I don't know him personally, but from what I've heard

104
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: people have been with him, they say, I've heard he's

105
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: one of the smartest players that people I've not say

106
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 1: they've been with. He's the full package.

107
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,799
Speaker 2: Did Sam last year get better every week even though.

108
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 1: He wasn't playing, Uh yeah, I did, you know. I

109
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:27,840
Speaker 1: think just you know, Sam had been in a lot

110
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 1: of different offenses and a few different teams and stuff.

111
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 1: So I think just the more he always can make

112
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:35,039
Speaker 1: plays and stuff, but the more he got used to

113
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 1: while we were asking. And it's hard when you ask

114
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,159
Speaker 1: some people to do stuff that they haven't done before,

115
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:41,840
Speaker 1: because sometimes you gotta get worse before you get better.

116
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:44,599
Speaker 1: But Sam came in with such a good mindset. He

117
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: was so detailed in what he did, really never wavered

118
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:48,840
Speaker 1: and really tried to pick stuff up. And I thought

119
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:51,040
Speaker 1: he came in really good, and I thought he got

120
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:51,839
Speaker 1: better throughout the year.

121
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 2: He signed with the Vikings and going to Kevin because

122
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,239
Speaker 2: you was your first reaction, Oh, that's a good spot

123
00:05:58,279 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 2: for him.

124
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought it was a real good spot for him,

125
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,160
Speaker 1: and I was happy for him. I was hoping he'd

126
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 1: find no good spots and come back here, but I

127
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 1: was happy for him. He got this opportunity because Sam

128
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,279
Speaker 1: more than deserves it. Sam's the starting quarterback in this

129
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:17,599
Speaker 1: league and he should run with it. So recently and

130
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: then the short week in travel, is there anything differently

131
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 1: that you're gonna do.

132
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:21,040
Speaker 3: With trend this week?

133
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 1: Nothing different the whole team. We don't do a full

134
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,279
Speaker 1: speed practice today, so that's unusual for a Wednesday this

135
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 1: early in the year, but just two games removed from

136
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 1: the from Monday. We'll go half speed today and we'll

137
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 1: just have one full speed practice tomorrow.

138
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:40,599
Speaker 2: Number showed that Mason a lot of yards before contact.

139
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,159
Speaker 2: What did your offensive line look like when you watched

140
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 2: it again?

141
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 1: They did a real good job. I mean they cleaned

142
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 1: up lanes. There are a lot of good holes for him.

143
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,839
Speaker 1: And then Mason always got more than there was blocked

144
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:52,840
Speaker 1: four So it was a good combination of all eleven

145
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,919
Speaker 1: doing a really good job and Mason always do an

146
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 1: extra on each play too.

147
00:06:58,920 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 2: Four yard catch?

148
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 1: What do you call that a rail? Would you ask?

149
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:06,599
Speaker 2: Well?

150
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 1: Did you say a red rot? Oh? Yeah, it's wheelish, Yeah,

151
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: wheel with an R.

152
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 2: Okay, you're good.

153
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 1: Probably play or like haven't you been here?

154
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 3: Man?

155
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 1: No, we've had ju sat on a bunch. It's look

156
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 1: at like play three. I think of Philadelphia and COVID year.

157
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 1: We just missed it down the sidelines with Nick Mullins.
