Minnesota Vikings · Saturdays With Sauce: LIVE From Vikings Training Camp! · 1 Aug 2026 podcast

But I'm proud of our guys, and now the challenge is can we be consistent

with that every single day and really establish that standard and those habits that will last us all the way through the season.

So with that, excited for today.

Appreciate you guys being here.

I think I was in college at the time and just the way, not only just the rules of the amount of work, some cases two or three times being out on the grass in one day, just working it.

in extreme temperatures and just kind of always like this is the mindset was, you know, it will all make the team stronger and better.

But over the course of a lot of, you know, research and data and things that you start learning about, you know, you can prepare your players and get them ready for the season.

I think we've done some really good things as a league and some of it collectively bargained with the ramp ups to,

You know, the training camp with the acclimation period, how we handle the spring and kind of building into how we handle that.

And then ultimately just it comes down to, you know, having the right people around you, especially as the head coach, to constantly be making the best decisions for your players and their growth and improvement and preparation.

for the season that is ahead.

And that doesn't mean it's always easy, but at the same time, you know, we've learned so much.

And, you know, I can remember, you know, what it was like, you know, even in college during that time, training camp was, you know, pushed you to your limits.

And, you know, I think some of that historically has been looked at as a good thing.

We still try to find a way to push players, and they want to be pushed.

But at the same time, the limit is the most important thing and making sure we're always aware of that.

Yeah, I think a lot of it's how the plays kind of come and what defense is scripted.

We're really just in the early stages.

Even though we're trying to move full speed ahead with our volume,

You know, I think it's still early enough that it's kind of hard to pinpoint any tendencies by the day.
