But to answer your question, that is not the case.
There's a reason why I always, when we win a game, it's my favorite thing, it's what I chase every day that I go to work, is those locker room moments where I wish I didn't have to say a word.
I wish I could stand in the corner of the room and just watch our players play.
chase that joy that they find when you win in the NFL.
It's hard to do.
Here's what I may do.
Maybe we don't do once a week together, but maybe you just come in and you take those in that moment.
Between getting ready to play the game, calling the game, dealing with those for three and a half hours, I'm like, there's some days where I walk up there and everybody's waiting for me to say this.
I bet you probably do.
Yeah, I definitely do.
But he don't like that either.
He doesn't like that either.
He just wants to coach defense, man.
Yeah, I can't really speak to his sources.
I will just say this, Dan.
It was a time and place in this organization where there was a lot of momentum from me included to draft a quarterback and to try to go get a quarterback that we felt like we can hopefully develop and build around
under the premier development of what we thought we can do with time on task and having a guy like Sam that I had a ton of confidence would go out there and have a great year and we would figure it out after that but I wanted the same thing happening now than I wanted a competitive
daily situation and jj that first training camp you know had gone out against the raiders and played well and we were going to go to those joint practices and we were going to you know i you know i don't think i would have been asked are the reps are the reps 50 50 or 55 45 or 60 40 i don't think people would have been asking that at that moment but the only difference between now and then is 10 football games
in three years so we we're really trying to do a lot of things right now and with the best interests of a the minnesota vikings and winning games and b making sure we give both these guys and really all of our team the best chance to go have success this year coaching a lot of intricate details and things that matter and we want to see these guys go out there and in that moment where
Maybe you can get complacent if a guy is capable of doing that at this level with the way we compete every day.
