00:00 >> It feels great to get the game back together, get me back out there.
00:04 I guess the main communicator to the guys in the secondary,
00:10 get KZ back, one of the best post safeties in the game.
00:16 So to have all of us back at the right time of the season is always a plus.
00:21 So we have to wait and see what the game plan will be moving forward with
00:26 trying to find a way to get us all on the field at the same time.
00:30 But as coaches, problem.
00:32 [LAUGH] >> What does it allow you to do though?
00:35 Especially since guys have experienced different positions.
00:37 >> Yeah, I think it allowed us to get back to what we
00:42 wanted our identity to be early on in the year.
00:46 Just trying to produce quarterbacks as best as we can,
00:49 having those wild card players in different positions.
00:53 And it's been working out very well for us.
00:55 We just haven't had much time to do it collectively as a unit.
00:59 So like I said, this is the perfect time for us all to be healthy and
01:04 together as a group.
01:06 Now we have to wait and see how far it takes us.
01:08 He's a guy that plays with one speed, plays super, super fast.
01:13 Not only getting guys lined up or making those slash plays for
01:19 the defense, making those plays when we need it.
01:21 I know he haven't made many interceptions this year because he's been in and
01:25 out of the lineup.
01:26 But we all know what Mika means to this team and what he brings to this team.
01:31 He's a player and I can't wait for him to show us that Sunday.
