and Oh, Come back to the show for a return appearance which must mean that he liked his last

appearance or didn't remember it. Viking Special Teams coordinator Matt Daniels.

What is up man? How are you?

Man, I'm doing great. It's cooking out here right now in Minneapolis, but I mean,

where is it not cooking at right? That's all part of training camp. Beautiful greengrass, excited to get the fans out tomorrow

for our first kind of open practice, bring some good energy out here, things are going really

well. I'm excited about the roster that we put together

excited about the rookies you know really looking forward forward to the season it does

feel great to be back we were just talking about you know things we did the summer

or whatever else but this is like back to

school and it's a great feeling to be out here and when it cools off a little bit it'll be

a little more comfortable for us but there's a lot of things that came to mind to

talk with you about.

There's new kickoff rules, everything else.

We got a whole new roster, all sorts of people to work with.

But I did want to start with just you.

I mean, last year you arrived here, kind of first time being a Minnesotan and so forth and

uh... last training camp you went through some things that were difficult for you

and it was very chaotic i'm sure and very challenging

so i guess uh... when you sort of reflect on arriving here, everything you went through with your

father passing away, what was that like for you last year to kind of go through that as you were

taking a new job and a big step in your career.
