<v Speaker 1>Winners ankle will not practice, Huff knee will be limited,

0:00:16.920 --> 0:00:23.480
<v Speaker 2>But in that teacher's session yesterday did not go well or.

0:00:23.840 --> 0:00:29.840
<v Speaker 1>As well as hoping could might not. It's not practicing today.

0:00:35.920 --> 0:00:39.639
<v Speaker 3>Christian is still limited and not just out. I mean,

0:00:39.680 --> 0:00:41.879
<v Speaker 3>I'm not a doctor, but I would read that as

0:00:41.920 --> 0:00:44.120
<v Speaker 3>a positive sign for how he feels.

0:00:44.800 --> 0:00:48.160
<v Speaker 1>Not doctor either, but I take that as positive. Yeah,

0:00:48.159 --> 0:00:51.440
<v Speaker 1>I agree, Yes, I do agree, but I'm not doctor.

0:00:52.720 --> 0:00:56.720
<v Speaker 2>Would there be any is way premature to suggest that

0:00:56.800 --> 0:00:58.600
<v Speaker 2>he could maybe go on I R just to make

0:00:58.600 --> 0:00:59.920
<v Speaker 2>sure he's good for the rest of the.

0:01:02.800 --> 0:01:06.520
<v Speaker 1>No, I've never considered that. Was considered him to play

0:01:06.600 --> 0:01:09.240
<v Speaker 1>last week. So definitely not thinking about four weeks off.

0:01:14.280 --> 0:01:16.280
<v Speaker 3>Sam. When you you had Sam last year for the year,

0:01:16.280 --> 0:01:18.760
<v Speaker 3>w what did you from him when you had him here?

0:01:18.800 --> 0:01:21.679
<v Speaker 1>And and just what did you see from loved having

0:01:21.720 --> 0:01:24.320
<v Speaker 1>Sam here? For he was an awesome guy. He's been

0:01:24.360 --> 0:01:27.000
<v Speaker 1>that way everywhere everywhere he's been, and we found it

0:01:27.040 --> 0:01:30.520
<v Speaker 1>out personally here, but always liked Sam before he got here,

0:01:30.560 --> 0:01:32.200
<v Speaker 1>just his talent level from college and what he had

0:01:32.200 --> 0:01:35.640
<v Speaker 1>seen in the NFL, and was exactly as good as advertised.

0:01:35.640 --> 0:01:38.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean, he's such a good athlete, so tough, can

0:01:38.160 --> 0:01:42.120
<v Speaker 1>make any throw, and really enjoyed working with him. I

0:01:42.120 --> 0:01:44.080
<v Speaker 1>thought he got better throughout the year. I know he

0:01:44.120 --> 0:01:46.319
<v Speaker 1>was always ready to get more opportunities in the games

0:01:46.319 --> 0:01:49.720
<v Speaker 1>if something bad happened, and fortunately for Brock, we didn't

0:01:49.720 --> 0:01:51.880
<v Speaker 1>have to do that til the last week. But he

0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:53.639
<v Speaker 1>was really good having here as number two.

0:01:54.360 --> 0:01:57.800
<v Speaker 3>Who you've addressed this, Do you take me back to

0:01:57.840 --> 0:02:01.920
<v Speaker 3>the running up the stairs when you thought Brandon might

0:02:01.920 --> 0:02:05.680
<v Speaker 3>get traded, Like, how was your first on that was that?

0:02:05.840 --> 0:02:08.560
<v Speaker 2>Really? Did you really have to sprint to make sure?

0:02:08.840 --> 0:02:11.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean I had to sprint because I had a

0:02:11.000 --> 0:02:13.120
<v Speaker 1>team meeting at eight thirty and I was getting ready

0:02:13.160 --> 0:02:16.240
<v Speaker 1>for my team meeting and Brandon just randomly walked in

0:02:16.320 --> 0:02:20.240
<v Speaker 1>and talked to me at eight fifteen. And it's very

0:02:20.240 --> 0:02:21.960
<v Speaker 1>Brandon liked to pick that type of time because I

0:02:22.000 --> 0:02:24.919
<v Speaker 1>was trying to get ready for something else. So about

0:02:25.480 --> 0:02:27.079
<v Speaker 1>ten minutes and I talk to him, I realized we

0:02:27.120 --> 0:02:28.480
<v Speaker 1>need to talk a little bit more when the meeting

0:02:28.520 --> 0:02:31.280
<v Speaker 1>was over, and meetings can go a while and stuff,

0:02:31.280 --> 0:02:33.360
<v Speaker 1>and I knew we were in discussions a lot with Pittsburgh,

0:02:33.400 --> 0:02:36.760
<v Speaker 1>so I actually called up to John and he didn't

0:02:36.760 --> 0:02:39.400
<v Speaker 1>answer picked up on the first ring. So I just

0:02:39.440 --> 0:02:41.800
<v Speaker 1>wanted to make sure it wasn't on another line making

0:02:41.840 --> 0:02:45.679
<v Speaker 1>any trades. So I ran up there and just said,

0:02:45.800 --> 0:02:47.240
<v Speaker 1>hold on, let's talk after this meeting.

0:02:47.600 --> 0:02:51.000
<v Speaker 3>You got to bargin No, no, I'm.

0:02:50.880 --> 0:02:54.080
<v Speaker 1>Not gonna make it more dramatic than already is. He

0:02:54.160 --> 0:02:57.200
<v Speaker 1>had randomly walked into your office, he would have been one. Well, no,

0:02:57.240 --> 0:02:59.280
<v Speaker 1>there was no trade done, but those were you just

0:02:59.320 --> 0:03:01.200
<v Speaker 1>never knowing that it's gonna happen, you know, when you're

0:03:01.280 --> 0:03:04.799
<v Speaker 1>going through negotiations, going through trades like that stuff. That's

0:03:04.840 --> 0:03:06.720
<v Speaker 1>why it's hard to keep up with all the reports

0:03:06.720 --> 0:03:09.480
<v Speaker 1>and stuff, because stuff is going on. But I mean,

0:03:09.520 --> 0:03:10.239
<v Speaker 1>nothing was intimate.

0:03:11.200 --> 0:03:14.480
<v Speaker 2>Would you assess Brandon's night on Monday in terms of conditioning?

0:03:14.680 --> 0:03:17.200
<v Speaker 1>Just I thought he did a good job. I mean,

0:03:17.240 --> 0:03:20.679
<v Speaker 1>he never felt like he wasn't conditioned. You know, we

0:03:21.160 --> 0:03:25.520
<v Speaker 1>rotated him more than usual, which definitely helped. But you know,

0:03:25.639 --> 0:03:27.480
<v Speaker 1>I haven't got to talk to him yet today. But

0:03:27.720 --> 0:03:29.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure he was sore and stuff from it, but

0:03:30.400 --> 0:03:32.079
<v Speaker 1>now the conditioning, everything was no factor.

0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:36.280
<v Speaker 2>Wendy night, I thought watching that thing over was just amazing.

0:03:36.680 --> 0:03:41.680
<v Speaker 2>The motor football IQ. He's a real special player. Didn't

0:03:41.680 --> 0:03:44.520
<v Speaker 2>really see him live until last night night.

0:03:44.720 --> 0:03:47.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, now his motor's been He's like that every day

0:03:47.720 --> 0:03:50.680
<v Speaker 1>in practice, and especially for a guy like whatever year

0:03:50.720 --> 0:03:52.480
<v Speaker 1>it is tenth or something to be able to go

0:03:52.520 --> 0:03:54.600
<v Speaker 1>that hard in practice every day, I don't care how

0:03:54.640 --> 0:03:57.400
<v Speaker 1>he can keep it up. I remember Staley, who was

0:03:57.440 --> 0:03:59.880
<v Speaker 1>with him in Chicago and the Rams, telling us he

0:03:59.920 --> 0:04:01.840
<v Speaker 1>was like that you could always see it on tape.

0:04:01.840 --> 0:04:03.440
<v Speaker 1>I mean, he's got such a good motor on tape,

0:04:03.480 --> 0:04:06.320
<v Speaker 1>but he knows no other way. He loves playing football.

0:04:06.360 --> 0:04:09.400
<v Speaker 1>He keeps it very simple. He likes to come out

0:04:09.400 --> 0:04:11.200
<v Speaker 1>there every day. He goes as hard as he can,

0:04:11.280 --> 0:04:13.400
<v Speaker 1>and on the games he would just cut him loose

0:04:13.400 --> 0:04:15.000
<v Speaker 1>and he kind of took over in that way, and

0:04:15.160 --> 0:04:16.640
<v Speaker 1>I think he's a really inspiring guy to watch.

0:04:17.360 --> 0:04:20.120
<v Speaker 3>How much have you studied the Vikings offense and what

0:04:20.279 --> 0:04:23.080
<v Speaker 3>kind of stands out to you about the way Kevin's.

0:04:22.760 --> 0:04:23.440
<v Speaker 2>Doing it over there.

0:04:24.560 --> 0:04:26.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean they have one game from this year, but

0:04:26.360 --> 0:04:28.479
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's you know, going off of last year.

0:04:28.480 --> 0:04:31.279
<v Speaker 1>In this game, it's similar how the rams were. You know,

0:04:31.360 --> 0:04:33.680
<v Speaker 1>Kevin does a real good job just balancing out his

0:04:33.760 --> 0:04:36.400
<v Speaker 1>drop back game with his play action. As keepers, they

0:04:36.400 --> 0:04:38.640
<v Speaker 1>mix in tempo and hurry up at all times. You

0:04:38.640 --> 0:04:41.200
<v Speaker 1>got to constantly be ready for that. Sometimes they're just

0:04:41.200 --> 0:04:44.000
<v Speaker 1>going fast. Sometimes they're making a lot of checks with

0:04:44.040 --> 0:04:46.400
<v Speaker 1>the line of scrimmages. But it's it's a very good,

0:04:46.640 --> 0:04:49.440
<v Speaker 1>very good offense player friendly because this guy's a bunch

0:04:49.440 --> 0:04:52.320
<v Speaker 1>of chances to make plays and got a lot of

0:04:52.320 --> 0:05:00.080
<v Speaker 1>respect for what he's done there. He's I mean, the

0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:02.880
<v Speaker 1>way you can cut with his speed, Uh there's not

0:05:02.960 --> 0:05:04.600
<v Speaker 1>there's not an angle. He can't really run that at

0:05:04.600 --> 0:05:07.560
<v Speaker 1>full speed and drop his weight. He's also fearless in

0:05:07.640 --> 0:05:09.520
<v Speaker 1>how he plays. His hands are as good as anyone.

0:05:10.240 --> 0:05:12.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't know him personally, but from what I've heard

0:05:12.120 --> 0:05:14.080
<v Speaker 1>people have been with him, they say, I've heard he's

0:05:14.120 --> 0:05:16.400
<v Speaker 1>one of the smartest players that people I've not say

0:05:16.400 --> 0:05:20.120
<v Speaker 1>they've been with. He's the full package.

0:05:20.760 --> 0:05:23.799
<v Speaker 2>Did Sam last year get better every week even though.

0:05:23.600 --> 0:05:25.880
<v Speaker 1>He wasn't playing, Uh yeah, I did, you know. I

0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:27.840
<v Speaker 1>think just you know, Sam had been in a lot

0:05:27.880 --> 0:05:30.360
<v Speaker 1>of different offenses and a few different teams and stuff.

0:05:30.400 --> 0:05:33.360
<v Speaker 1>So I think just the more he always can make

0:05:33.360 --> 0:05:35.039
<v Speaker 1>plays and stuff, but the more he got used to

0:05:35.120 --> 0:05:37.200
<v Speaker 1>while we were asking. And it's hard when you ask

0:05:37.279 --> 0:05:39.159
<v Speaker 1>some people to do stuff that they haven't done before,

0:05:39.880 --> 0:05:41.840
<v Speaker 1>because sometimes you gotta get worse before you get better.

0:05:42.520 --> 0:05:44.599
<v Speaker 1>But Sam came in with such a good mindset. He

0:05:44.640 --> 0:05:46.640
<v Speaker 1>was so detailed in what he did, really never wavered

0:05:46.640 --> 0:05:48.840
<v Speaker 1>and really tried to pick stuff up. And I thought

0:05:48.839 --> 0:05:51.040
<v Speaker 1>he came in really good, and I thought he got

0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:51.839
<v Speaker 1>better throughout the year.

0:05:53.040 --> 0:05:55.880
<v Speaker 2>He signed with the Vikings and going to Kevin because

0:05:55.880 --> 0:05:58.239
<v Speaker 2>you was your first reaction, Oh, that's a good spot

0:05:58.279 --> 0:05:58.640
<v Speaker 2>for him.

0:05:58.920 --> 0:06:01.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I thought it was a real good spot for him,

0:06:01.760 --> 0:06:04.160
<v Speaker 1>and I was happy for him. I was hoping he'd

0:06:04.200 --> 0:06:07.760
<v Speaker 1>find no good spots and come back here, but I

0:06:07.800 --> 0:06:09.880
<v Speaker 1>was happy for him. He got this opportunity because Sam

0:06:09.960 --> 0:06:12.279
<v Speaker 1>more than deserves it. Sam's the starting quarterback in this

0:06:12.400 --> 0:06:17.599
<v Speaker 1>league and he should run with it. So recently and

0:06:17.600 --> 0:06:19.640
<v Speaker 1>then the short week in travel, is there anything differently

0:06:19.640 --> 0:06:20.200
<v Speaker 1>that you're gonna do.

0:06:20.200 --> 0:06:21.040
<v Speaker 3>With trend this week?

0:06:21.760 --> 0:06:23.640
<v Speaker 1>Nothing different the whole team. We don't do a full

0:06:23.680 --> 0:06:26.279
<v Speaker 1>speed practice today, so that's unusual for a Wednesday this

0:06:26.320 --> 0:06:28.960
<v Speaker 1>early in the year, but just two games removed from

0:06:28.960 --> 0:06:32.320
<v Speaker 1>the from Monday. We'll go half speed today and we'll

0:06:32.360 --> 0:06:34.880
<v Speaker 1>just have one full speed practice tomorrow.

0:06:36.560 --> 0:06:40.599
<v Speaker 2>Number showed that Mason a lot of yards before contact.

0:06:40.960 --> 0:06:43.159
<v Speaker 2>What did your offensive line look like when you watched

0:06:43.160 --> 0:06:43.520
<v Speaker 2>it again?

0:06:44.040 --> 0:06:45.640
<v Speaker 1>They did a real good job. I mean they cleaned

0:06:45.720 --> 0:06:47.920
<v Speaker 1>up lanes. There are a lot of good holes for him.

0:06:48.240 --> 0:06:50.839
<v Speaker 1>And then Mason always got more than there was blocked

0:06:50.839 --> 0:06:52.840
<v Speaker 1>four So it was a good combination of all eleven

0:06:53.200 --> 0:06:55.919
<v Speaker 1>doing a really good job and Mason always do an

0:06:55.920 --> 0:06:56.960
<v Speaker 1>extra on each play too.

0:06:58.920 --> 0:06:59.880
<v Speaker 2>Four yard catch?

0:07:00.200 --> 0:07:05.360
<v Speaker 1>What do you call that a rail? Would you ask?

0:07:06.400 --> 0:07:06.599
<v Speaker 2>Well?

0:07:08.920 --> 0:07:15.080
<v Speaker 1>Did you say a red rot? Oh? Yeah, it's wheelish, Yeah,

0:07:15.560 --> 0:07:16.320
<v Speaker 1>wheel with an R.

0:07:18.400 --> 0:07:19.760
<v Speaker 2>Okay, you're good.

0:07:20.880 --> 0:07:26.960
<v Speaker 1>Probably play or like haven't you been here?

0:07:27.040 --> 0:07:27.240
<v Speaker 3>Man?

0:07:28.920 --> 0:07:33.080
<v Speaker 1>No, we've had ju sat on a bunch. It's look

0:07:33.080 --> 0:07:36.960
<v Speaker 1>at like play three. I think of Philadelphia and COVID year.

0:07:37.000 --> 0:07:39.640
<v Speaker 1>We just missed it down the sidelines with Nick Mullins.

0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:42.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean we've I don't know if we hit a Yeah,

0:07:42.640 --> 0:07:49.320
<v Speaker 1>Pittsburgh twenty nineteen. Yeah, it's been around. I mean, don't

0:07:49.320 --> 0:07:51.840
<v Speaker 1>you guys have something to just type in the answers

0:07:51.880 --> 0:07:58.840
<v Speaker 1>that for you, Yeah, Google, exactly my I mean, when

0:07:58.840 --> 0:08:00.680
<v Speaker 1>I've seen him, he hasn't mentioned it thing, The trainers

0:08:00.680 --> 0:08:03.600
<v Speaker 1>haven't mentioned anything. That's what I was kind of explaining

0:08:03.640 --> 0:08:05.560
<v Speaker 1>on training camp that I thought was so impressive having

0:08:05.600 --> 0:08:07.240
<v Speaker 1>so many guys out and how hard he went each

0:08:07.320 --> 0:08:10.280
<v Speaker 1>day and the way he has his body really never changed.

0:08:10.320 --> 0:08:13.320
<v Speaker 1>So uh, he ran so hard in that game and

0:08:13.360 --> 0:08:14.160
<v Speaker 1>it seems good to go.

0:08:15.160 --> 0:08:17.040
<v Speaker 2>Was it for you to see Moody half the night

0:08:17.080 --> 0:08:19.040
<v Speaker 2>that he did after some short last year.

0:08:19.560 --> 0:08:21.000
<v Speaker 1>I thought it was great. You know, I didn't even

0:08:21.040 --> 0:08:24.560
<v Speaker 1>realize how many he hit till after the game. And

0:08:24.640 --> 0:08:26.120
<v Speaker 1>I think he got Player of the Week so he

0:08:26.360 --> 0:08:28.640
<v Speaker 1>which was more than deserved. Probably should have gave him

0:08:28.640 --> 0:08:32.959
<v Speaker 1>a game ball, but one hit the crossbar. But no,
