 What was the key? Trust in the process, buying into what Mike Rable wants us to be and the style of football he wants to have on the team. What did you get out of today? Good competition, going against guys that we don't see that much. Being able to go against good offense and we had good competes today. I mean, is that really important to go play other players just to see different things and have to react? Yeah, definitely. Different looks, different competition, different personnel as well. So that's something that we want to work on. It was a little bit windy, but you can probably look at this a cool day compared to the day we see you. Now, this is a nice day. It's beautiful. It's like golfing weather right now, for sure. How's your defense evolving right now? You like what you're seeing. What do you got for him? I love what we're seeing. We got guys up front that are getting after it. We got a good linebacker crew that communicate in the back end. You know, we're all on the same page. Guys are just competing and we're just playing ball right now. Good to see you. Thank you so much. My family was here to watch me play. My nephew and nieces were here. So it's awesome. I can't beat it. You know, something like this. I know it's a business trip, but does it give perspective on how far you've come and you can be at the professional ranks and your hometown? Yeah, definitely. I mean, for me, it's coming back here. I'm on a different team, but this is the dream that I've always wanted since I was little and being able to come back and when I was younger, I used to go to Vikings camps every once in a while. So being able to have my family come watch me practice is pretty sweet. Down in Mankato. Yeah, down in Mankato, actually. What do you remember about those days? I just remember seeing it was, I forgot. I think it was Darren Sharpe was on the team at the time. But yeah, he was a safety. But I just remember just being there in a similar field, but guys looked much bigger back then than they do now. How do you get down and get ready to go, and sometimes not all offenses run like that so you can't get, you know, low to sleep or play at their speed? So we just got to be ready to start out faster and not wait a period or two to really get going, you know? I know Aziz had one early and then you had your pick and Roger, I mean, how good to get the three turnovers and how much fun is that when you're making plays out here? I mean, turnovers is what wins the ball games in the league and especially we can get them in two minutes. That's what seals the game and allows you to get the win. So anytime we can get the, whether it's a hammer, getting the ball out or an interception, you see the sideline go crazy and that's our goal on defense. You know, the only thing better than a three and out or a four down stop is a pick to get the ball, pick or turn over to the offense and go score points for us or in the game. How good of a test are they for you guys to work with a couple of days? One more time? How good of a test are they for you guys to work against? I mean, everybody knows what their offense has, some weapons over there. Anytime you get to go against somebody fresh for camp, it's always fun and gives you another boost of energy and it allows you to really see where you're at halfway through camp so you can know what your weaknesses are and what your strengths are heading into the last two weeks of camp to clean them up before we get into the real thing. What's it like throwing in the wind? That's cool, it's strong, you know. Not difficult, more difficult at all? I mean, when you're in the wind, you gotta throw it a little bit harder. When you're not with the wind, you can take a little bit off of it just understanding that it's the same. Thank you, man. You're welcome. How was it going against those? Opposite defense, it's hot and real today. Oh, it was fun. Yeah. Is that it? Yeah. Just how have you kind of taken the stage step this off season? From afar it seemed like, you know, you had a really different quarterback from I imagine day to day. I mean, I know the plays now. That's the biggest difference, literally. I mean, but they think he's just trash. Like, no, I just needed to learn the offense and now we got new offense. I'm speaking the same language and it's just gonna be reps at this point. I think it was cool. Yeah, it was cool.
