Speaker 1: The sweet three run double right, so he gets that yesterday.

25
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 1: Who is Tristan Gray. When did he make his MLB debut? Well,

26
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 1: he made it in September at twenty twenty three for

27
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Rays.

28
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 3: Youngster, Well not that young.

29
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: No, he's thirty. Yeah, he's thirty.

30
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:40,199
Speaker 2: That means he was languishing elsewhere in minor league programs.

31
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that may be the case. Let me give

32
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 1: you let me give you a quick Wikipedia style synopsis here. No,

33
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 1: thank you, Houston native he was with. I mentioned the

34
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: debut in Tampa in twenty twenty three, then he was

35
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: in Miami twenty four and the Athletics twenty four, back

36
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 1: with the Rays last season, and then now he has

37
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 1: joined the Minnesota Twins. We we traded Luis Guerrero to

38
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 1: the Boston Red Sox last November and received Tristan Gray.

39
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 3: Let me see here, so nobody wanted him and maybe

40
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:13,360
Speaker 3: he's found a home.

41
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 1: Excuse me. Gray was traded to the Red Sox for

42
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 1: Luis Guerrero. Then he was traded for a minor league catcher,

43
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:24,079
Speaker 1: our former guy, Nate Baiez Okay, and so now Tristan

44
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,079
Speaker 1: Gray is here. There's a lot of there's a lot

45
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 1: of cash. Considerations involved in.

46
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 2: These and he's thirty and he's thirty and I was

47
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 2: hoping he was like twenty two, and like, wow, you know,

48
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,919
Speaker 2: dedicated Twins fans who who you know, followed the lower levels.

49
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 2: But wait, waiting for Gray and waiting for Gray, and

50
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 2: here he is, and he's coming through. But it's got

51
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 2: some journeyman to him, well a little bit.

52
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 1: I mean, we're pumped for We're pumped for the power

53
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:53,359
Speaker 1: of Royce Lewis. We want to see Walker Jenkins. We

54
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 1: are getting to see lu Keishael and so just the kids.

55
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: We want the kids to grow up before our very eyes. Yeah,

56
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,799
Speaker 1: it turns out Chris Tristan Gray might actually be one

57
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 1: of the veteran now an eight veteran calm providers in

58
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:07,079
Speaker 1: the clubhouse.

59
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 3: Okay, thank you. Thirty minutes from now, by the way,

60
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 3: we are starting our first Monday mock.

61
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 2: All right, So here's the deal. Kevin O'Connell, by the way,

62
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 2: joins eight minutes from now nine to noon each Monday

63
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,359
Speaker 2: up to the draft, is going to deliver something called

64
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 2: the Monday Mock. Today we tag picks one to eight,

65
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,959
Speaker 2: one to eight. That takes place about ten thirty five

66
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 2: probably finish it near the end of the radio show.

67
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 3: And by the way, the Monday.

68
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 2: Mock is there for reproofing, rebuking, and sharing and or stealing.

69
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 2: So that's coming up today Tomorrow. Tuesdays up to the

70
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 2: draft will be two for Tuesdays, two for you say,

71
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 2: that's where we deliver two draft worthy players from any

72
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 2: part of the NFL draft we think can aid the

73
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 2: Minnesota Vikings. So it doesn't have to be eighteen centric.

74
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 2: It just has to be player centric and why we

75
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 2: think this player can help.

76
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 5: I like it.

77
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 3: I'll have one Orda, We'll have one.

78
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 2: Thus the two for in two for Talker Tuesdays, then

79
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:22,840
Speaker 2: wild Card Wednesday, wild Card Wednesday, up to the draft.

80
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 2: These will be wild card picks, theories, maybe philosophies, and

81
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 2: really for anybody in the league. So like to wit

82
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:36,159
Speaker 2: the Let's say the New York Jets need a talented

83
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 2: young quarterback, so maybe they trade up to the first round,

84
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,159
Speaker 2: not all the way up to like right behind the Raiders,

85
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 2: but get themselves in a spot into the first round

86
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 2: and draft Alabama's Ty Simpson, that quarterback who's gotten a

87
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 2: little splashy over the last seventy two hours.

88
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 3: So that would be a wild.

89
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,599
Speaker 2: Card in the draft, and if the Jets were to

90
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 2: do that with Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson, perhaps they then

91
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 2: make dan Orlofsky his position coach, given his adoration for

92
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 2: said slinger.

93
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 3: I always love that one.

94
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 2: Thursdays are Thirsty Thursdays. Thirsty Thursdays players for whom we

95
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 2: thirst and how we get them for our Minnesota Vikings.

96
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,679
Speaker 1: That doesn't sound as fun as I initially thought Thirsty

97
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: Thursday wise.

98
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:27,719
Speaker 2: But this probably will morph into something that involves the

99
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 2: eighteenth overall pick. And we also will Tyight talkbacks to

100
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:36,719
Speaker 2: this one eventually, but maybe not this Thursday.

101
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 3: Thirsty Thursday.

102
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 2: I believe the show most likely will be a tria

103
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 2: for some high end box in the box with the

104
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 2: cove in town. So Monday mock coming up twenty minutes

105
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:53,280
Speaker 2: from now two for Tuesdays Tomorrow, wild Card Wednesday. We

106
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 2: think you'll enjoy that from an NFL draft perspective, and

107
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 2: Thirsty Thursdays players for whom we thirst and how do

108
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,039
Speaker 2: we get him to the Minnesota Vikings. That's all coming

109
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 2: up this week nine to now.

110
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 1: Can I ask you a quick question going back to so,

111
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 1: whether it's Thirsty Thursday it's the Monday mock. We find

112
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 1: our way to the draft, We find our way to

113
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 1: Thursday night. You did ask Rob their last segment. You know,

114
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,719
Speaker 1: who gets the final call? Is there anything? And you

115
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 1: know there is going to be the collaborative We know

116
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 1: a lot of the same voices are in the room

117
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:25,359
Speaker 1: and those conversations. The head coach is going to have

118
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 1: a say, the defensive coordinator is going to have a say.

119
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 1: Is he truly holding the gavel in that regard? Is

120
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 1: there or is there a different perspective that you have

121
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,720
Speaker 1: in terms of maybe how draft night looks with Rob

122
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:38,280
Speaker 1: Razinski head manning the whole thing.

123
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 3: I don't know.

124
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 2: Thus that's why I asked the question, not expecting a

125
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,839
Speaker 2: direct answer. Robin a very short amount of time of

126
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,160
Speaker 2: doing more interviews during the course of the last three

127
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 2: months than he's did in twenty seven years. Yes, he's

128
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,919
Speaker 2: gotten himself quite polished when it comes to let me

129
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:58,840
Speaker 2: see things left the vikings communications directed way to answer questions.

130
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,799
Speaker 2: I mean, I hit him, but who gets the final call?

131
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 2: And then it's like, all right, so you just don't

132
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 2: ask it like that, you you, I mean, despite what

133
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 2: age of rage will tell us via the six four,

134
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 2: six eighty six about how to do jobs and ask questions. Uh,

135
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 2: you don't ask questions like that specifically if people are new. Yeah,

136
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 2: so you you close it with who gets final call?

137
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 2: And like I asked, because hey, I mean if if

138
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 2: we hit on all these picks with these rookies, then

139
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 2: you can't leave. And so he laughed and then he

140
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 2: answered it and in a very very gray area.

141
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 1: Like fashion, how about is perfect polish where when things

142
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 1: is like okay, we got to got to figure out

143
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: how to get out of here. Oh I'm gonna rip

144
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 1: Jeff Anderson's pants? Yeah yeah?

145
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,119
Speaker 2: Or or hey, do you do you find the draft

146
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 2: to be deep with defensive tackles? I mean it's uh,

147
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 2: we didn't get an answer. We don't really like to

148
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:55,119
Speaker 2: talk about where there's depth in the draft.

149
00:07:55,160 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 3: Alrighty Old Jeffrey and Sammy have working over to good

150
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 3: work with mister Brazinski who assaulted the Earth. The guy's awesome.

151
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 3: He's so good, very smart, and man we nine to

152
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 3: Noon wishes him nothing but the best.

153
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 2: Likewise, for ko Kevin O'Connell, head coach of the Minnesota

154
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:45,200
Speaker 2: Vikings is Nettles. Kevin O'Connell head coach of the Minnesota Vikings,

155
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 2: set to join nine to noon coming up here relatively soon,

156
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 2: quite quickly. That's going to be followed by the controversial

157
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 2: first portion of the Monday mock. The first eight picks

158
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:03,200
Speaker 2: predict at least predicted fashion, delivered today nine to noon

159

161
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 2: including what Nordo included about an hour ago in the

162

164
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 2: the State of Basketball Indiana, So like Minnesota is the

165
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,439
Speaker 2: state of hockey, Indiana is the state of basketball. This

166
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 2: Bryce and Mullins is a freshman who was mister Basketball

167
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 2: just last year in Indiana, so he's a true freshman.

168
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 2: And he hit what they call in the business, thanks

169
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 2: to Caitlyn Clark, a logo three pointer to eliminate Duke

170
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 2: when there was a boozer involved in a turnover.

171
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:54,080
Speaker 5: But it.

172
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 2: Wasn't Cameron, it was his brother and lo and behold,

173
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 2: Mullins nails one from about forty feet and down goes Duke.

174
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 2: Minnesota Wild will be in action later this week. Let's

175
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:15,719
Speaker 2: play hockey, but hockey conversation later. Joining us now is

176
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 2: Minnesota Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell.

177
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 3: Kevin, it's Paul Allen. Good morning, Pa.

178
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 5: How you doing pretty much on with you this morning?

179
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 3: Likewise, thank you very much for the time.

180
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 2: At eight eighteen in the morning, Scottsdale time, I would

181
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 2: imagine it's just a beautiful Arizona day for everybody involved, right.

182
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 5: I just walked out of the NFC Coaches media breakfast

183
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 5: where we sit around those those big circle tables and

184
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,200
Speaker 5: spend some good time with the folks who made the

185
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 5: trip here. But I just walked out and walked out

186
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:53,680
Speaker 5: onto a patio. It's about eighty degrees this morning. The

187
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 5: sun is shining. There's not a cloud in the sky.

188
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 5: It's gonna be a good day here.

189
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 2: All right, let's get to business. I know you got

190
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 2: ten minutes and here they are. Your first year on

191
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,960
Speaker 2: the competition committee. How's that part of the equation going

192
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 2: for you?

193
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:06,680
Speaker 3: Kevin?

194
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know what it's been.

195
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 6: It's been a really good experience so far.

196
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 5: You know, I get to be with a great group

197
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:15,560
Speaker 5: you know of some of the other coaches on the

198
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 5: committee with you know, Sean McVay, Sean Payton, Mike Vrabel,

199
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 5: you know obviously you know guys like Todd Bowles and

200
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:28,439
Speaker 5: Demico Ryans, and so there's a great mixture of offensive

201
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 5: and defensive coaches. You know, a lot of guys that

202
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 5: have some experience working together, a lot of great high

203
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 5: level football discussion.

204
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 6: And then you know, it's not just coaches, it's you.

205
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:42,080
Speaker 5: Know, getting to know somebody like Stephen Jones or you know,

206
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 5: continuing to grow my relationship with a former teammate of

207
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 5: mine in John Lynch. It's just been very unique. And

208
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 5: the one thing that hits me, pa when when I'm

209
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 5: in the room with those with those folks, is we

210
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:57,960
Speaker 5: all care so deeply about this game. We all care

211
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:01,959
Speaker 5: so deeply about player health and safety, and we all

212
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,439
Speaker 5: care so deeply about continuing to have our game be

213
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 5: you know, the greatest professional sports league on the planet,

214
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 5: and we don't take that lightly. And we've got to

215
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 5: continue to do the things to enhance our game and

216
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 5: always have player health and safety at the forefront of

217
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:21,559
Speaker 5: our discussions. And that's what that group is constantly trying

218
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 5: to do, and it's been a really really cool process

219
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 5: to be a part of and feel very fortunate to

220
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 5: have gotten the opportunity to join the group.

221
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:32,319
Speaker 2: The dynamic kickoff and altering to a five four to

222
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 2: two alignment is is this to avoid all the plays

223
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 2: that say ear hole players of thus leading to concussions

224
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 2: and into the dynamic kickoff. I'll never forget a conversation

225
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:48,079
Speaker 2: I had with you in the preseason about play players

226
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 2: away from the ball and problems that could emerge, and

227
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:53,679
Speaker 2: it looks like those problems did emerge.

228
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, Pa, you know, first and foremost, To

229
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:02,080
Speaker 5: answer your first question, I do believe that there is

230
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 5: some strong data that you know, will lead.

231
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 6: To hopefully some of you know, some of.

232
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:12,680
Speaker 5: The players health and safety concerns. Anytime you add eleven

233
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 5: hundred more action plays back into the game, which is

234
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 5: what we were able to do with the dynamic kickoff, there.

235
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 6: Were going to be some, you know, some things from

236
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 6: an injury.

237
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 5: Standpoint that went up. And obviously we're always trying to

238
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 5: monitor whether it's concussion data, shoulder, lower body extremities, you know,

239
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 5: whatever it is, we want to make sure we're constantly

240
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 5: evaluating that data to make recommendations with player health and

241
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 5: safety at the forefront, especially with an action play that

242
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 5: came back into our game at a rate of eleven

243
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:50,719
Speaker 5: hundred extra plays. So with that being said, that that

244
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:54,319
Speaker 5: adjustment of the alignment of adding another player in that

245
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:58,839
Speaker 5: setup zone where you might be able to help with

246
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 5: some of those you know, some of those secondary level

247
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 5: blocks where players were able to make some pretty high impact,

248
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:09,079
Speaker 5: high speed hits. Even though you've taken out.

249
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 6: The distance of the old school formatic.

250
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 5: Kickoff PA, there's still is a lot of really big, strong,

251
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 5: fast players.

252
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 6: That uh, you know, the schematics are trying.

253
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 5: To account for. But given the flexibility and the creativity

254
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 5: of having another player back off of that back off

255
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 5: of that set up line, the idea from a lot

256
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 5: of our special teams, coaches and committees that talk through those.

257
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 6: Things are, you know, basically as we.

258
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 5: Should be able to hopefully avoid some of some of

259
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 5: those hits that we saw.

260
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 2: Hey, Kevin with with Kyler Murray when you went deep

261
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 2: diving his runs, what did you.

262
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 7: Say, Well, you know, I can tell you this, pay

263
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 7: you know, there's you know, just in the last two

264
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 7: years alone, there's five or six or seven times where.

265
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 6: These aren't design runs.

266
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 5: You know, their their drop back pass, maybe.

267
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 6: You know, off of a play action occasionally, or maybe it's.

268
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 5: A weighty third down and a team decides to play

269
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 5: some man coverage to take away some of those eligibles

270
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 5: and you know, get connected on you know, people's bodies

271
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 5: running routes.

272
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 6: Well, there's a lot of space for Kyler and.

273
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 5: When he gets out there, he's proven to be able

274
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 5: to turn the corner and then turn a fifteen to

275
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 5: twenty yard run into a.

276
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 6: Forty yard touchdown run that's.

277
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 5: On the tape that's visible to watch, and you know,

278
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 5: he's clearly capable of handling some design runs as well,

279
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 5: and it's been a part of his game and and

280
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 5: and ultimately what we're going to attempt to do is

281
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 5: just put Kyler in a you know, in an offense

282
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 5: that he can be comfortable with.

283
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 6: There's a lot of really think, really good things Pa that.

284
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 5: Carry over from some of the some of the tape

285
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 5: and some of the offenses he's been in in Arizona

286
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 5: as far as the rhythm and drop back pass game

287
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 5: and some of the things that he's done at a

288
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 5: really high level. And then anytime Kyler.

289
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 6: Murray drops back with the ball.

290
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 5: You know, defenses really have to think twice about the

291
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 5: double teams on Justin Jefferson and the you know how

292
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 5: they want to deploy their pass rush because with his

293
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 5: type of you know, explosive athleticism, if he does break

294
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 5: container get out of that pocket, Pa, it could be

295
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 5: a huge play that changes the dynamic of a game.

296
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 5: And he's proven to be that throughout his NFL career

297
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 5: and even going back beyond that.

298
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 3: Well, obviously he needs to win the job.

299
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 2: But I'm you know, I'm really happy you went down

300
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 2: that road, Kevin, because, like, correct me if I'm wrong here.

301
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 2: You guys don't see a lot of man demand defense.

302
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 2: You know, with Jefferson and Addison specifically, correct me if

303
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 2: I'm wrong there. And with Kyler, how well do you

304
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 2: think he deciphers between zone and man, because I mean

305
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 2: that could just be a killer for the opponent if he's.

306
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 3: Good at that.

307
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 6: Yeah, Well, what we tend to see, PA is I

308
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:56,359
Speaker 6: call it the Justin Jefferson program.

309
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 5: If they are playing man coverage, they're absolutely not playing

310
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 5: justin one on one. There's a player probably pressed up,

311
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:07,440
Speaker 5: pressed up on the line of scrimmage, and then there's

312
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:11,359
Speaker 5: a safety somewhere, whether it's in the DP path, whether

313
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 5: it's dropping down to truly double team him at the

314
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 5: line of scrimmage. And we've seen some of those coverages

315
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 5: to Justin as or sorry to Jordan as well. But

316
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 5: what that means, PA, if you're going to still try

317
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:27,439
Speaker 5: to play some of those coverages and still have a

318
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 5: spy or somebody responsible for Kyler Murray, you know, or

319
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 5: to that matter, any of our other quarterbacks, you're really

320
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,399
Speaker 5: leaving yourself a three man rush because you only have

321
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 5: so many defenders. You can't play with twelve or thirteen

322
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:41,399
Speaker 5: out there.

323
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:43,680
Speaker 6: So you really have to ask yourself the question of.

324
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 5: What do you have to take away? And if the

325
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 5: answer is Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison, there's going to

326
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:53,400
Speaker 5: be some opportunity to maybe, you know, have a little

327
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 5: bit more time in the pocket to let those guys

328
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:59,159
Speaker 5: go win, let other eligibles like tj or one of

329
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:03,360
Speaker 5: our runners or Ty Felton to go win down the field, or.

330
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:05,359
Speaker 6: You're gonna say, hey, we're gonna play single coverage on

331
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 6: those guys because we can't let the quarterback hurt us

332
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 6: with his legs. And then when those guys are singled up.

333
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:13,920
Speaker 6: That becomes a very good thing for the Minnesota Viking.

334
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 5: So that's Manda man.

335
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:17,400
Speaker 6: We do play some even within zone coverages.

336
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:19,160
Speaker 5: We tend to see a lot of principles to try

337
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 5: to take away Justin and make his life difficult. And

338
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:26,440
Speaker 5: those things tend to also give you some conducive opportunities

339
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 5: to run the football or have some you know, quarterback

340
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:30,440
Speaker 5: run involved.

341
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 2: All right, potentially the last one here, because I know

342
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 2: you're in a time grunch. Did do you expect Jurgens

343
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 2: or Brandle to man the center spot or is that undecided?

344
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:43,200
Speaker 5: Well, I think we want to have a competitive situation there,

345
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:45,879
Speaker 5: you know, with Blake specifically. You know, I know I

346
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 5: can remember talking to you about him last year and

347
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 5: just his willingness to you know, step in there without

348
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:54,399
Speaker 5: a lot of time on task and play the center position,

349
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 5: and how he handled it.

350
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:57,119
Speaker 6: Was really impressive.

351
00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:01,680
Speaker 5: And I wasn't surprised by that, just knowing how Blake

352
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:06,160
Speaker 5: then had really culminated, you know, playing all five spots

353
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 5: across the offensive line during his time as a Viking,

354
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:12,640
Speaker 5: and we just feel like it's time to allow him

355
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,919
Speaker 5: to uh, you know, really focus on that center position.

356
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:18,119
Speaker 5: We think He's got a ton of upside with his

357
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 5: with his smarts and athleticism and his ability to get

358
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:25,880
Speaker 5: to the second level on certain defenders. So we want

359
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 5: to allow Blake to get comfortable in that spot, compete

360
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 5: a little bit with Jurgens as well, Mike. You know,

361
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 5: Michael Jurgens has continue to grow and as send as

362
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,640
Speaker 5: a young player. And then Pa, i'd you know, I'd

363
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 5: be remiss to if I didn't mention some of the

364
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 5: depths there at that position in the draft. So we're

365
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 5: you know, I would say, we're we We feel really

366
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 5: good about, you know, the guys we have in that

367
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 5: in that position right now, with the opportunity potentially maybe

368
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:52,120
Speaker 5: to add a player as well in the draft where

369
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:54,639
Speaker 5: we see a talented group of guys that could be available.

370
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:57,160
Speaker 2: Okay, last one ninety seconds, you get it all. I've

371
00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 2: been excited to ask you this since you're Kyler Murray

372
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 2: Zoom that you did. Frank Smith is your new assistant

373
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 2: head coach, come from Miami. He was Ben Roethlisberger center

374
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,679
Speaker 2: for three years at Miami Ohio. What what do you

375
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:13,360
Speaker 2: envision Frank's role looking like when you start playing games?

376
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, Frank's role really you know, in this day and age, PA,

377
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 5: you know, you know, sometimes you've got to be creative

378
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:25,440
Speaker 5: with titles and responsibilities.

379
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,440
Speaker 6: To try to really, you know, enhance some opportunities for guys,

380
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 6: and Trank with certainly that he was a guy the

381
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:33,440
Speaker 6: second that you know, there was a change made down

382
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 6: there in Miami, I was going to find a way

383
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 6: to get Frank Smith on our staff and that's that's to.

384
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:43,400
Speaker 5: Be part of our offensive think tank. That's to continue

385
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 5: the evolution and the constant need to you know, continue

386
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:51,879
Speaker 5: to be an attacking offensive group. But you know, I

387
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:54,879
Speaker 5: think I'm always trying to grow and learn, and a

388
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 5: guy like Frank Smith coming with the unique ways that

389
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:02,399
Speaker 5: they did things schematic and you know in Miami, and

390
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:04,879
Speaker 5: we're able to, you know, apply so many principles to

391
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:08,480
Speaker 5: whether it's wide zone, mid zone, gap trap runs. But

392
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:09,960
Speaker 5: they did it from the gun, they did it from

393
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 5: the pistol, they did it from the offset gun. So

394
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 5: you know, so there may have been some.

395
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 6: Foreshadowing there of a necessity to provide.

396
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 5: Some expertise to our offensive staff room in that regard,

397
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:24,680
Speaker 5: He's going to be heavily involved in building our run

398
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 5: game plan throughout the offseason and weekly and then also

399
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 5: has a really good feel as a former coordinator of

400
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 5: how to tie it all together, you know, marrying that

401
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:36,119
Speaker 5: running pass no matter how you're running the football with

402
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 5: play action and keep her game and screen game. We

403
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 5: are super fortunate to have Frank Smith working alongside West

404
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:46,399
Speaker 5: and the rest of our offensive staff. And it's always

405
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 5: something that I need you know about how much I

406
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 5: value those offensive staff guys to help put together something special.

407
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:55,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, wait to watch it, can't wait to call it.

408
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 2: And we hit that twenty nine. We're playing fast. Ko

409
00:21:58,200 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 2: and March. Have a good day.

410
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:02,719
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, Pa, mission man.

411
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 5: Hope you're doing well and look forward to seeing me soon.

412
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 2: Likewise, see you, coach Kevin O'Connell, head coach of the

413
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:23,639
Speaker 2: Minnesota Vikings, joining nine to noon, let's play hockey, all right,

414
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 2: let's get after it now, something new nine to noon.

415
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:31,360
Speaker 2: It's called the Monday Mock, and we have four Mondays

416
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:34,879
Speaker 2: up to the National Football League Draft. So yours truly

417
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:40,679
Speaker 2: has decided, in very very loose fashion, not trying to

418
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 2: be Dani Orlowski here or anything, to put together a

419
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:48,880
Speaker 2: Monday Mock which is available each and every Monday for

420
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:55,400
Speaker 2: reproof rebuking, stealing, sharing, and eventually, you know, we'll get

421
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:57,679
Speaker 2: some talkbacks and stuff like that involved, but that's not

422
00:22:57,760 --> 00:22:58,480
Speaker 2: the case today.

423
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 3: So picks one through eight.

424
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:05,159
Speaker 2: The Las Vegas Raiders have the first pick in the draft,

425
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 2: and uh, let's let's land the plane on the obvious

426
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 2: to begin festivities. It's about a ninety eight percent chance

427
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:16,200
Speaker 2: it'll be this guy.

428
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:21,520
Speaker 4: It's the Monday Mock nine to Now gotta.

429
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:22,960
Speaker 5: Get to the eighth.

430
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:27,800
Speaker 8: You got tight talk on your Mendoza, Please just my Thursday.

431
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:30,640
Speaker 4: Go diving cad the ensign touchdown.

432
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:37,639
Speaker 2: What do we all think about Fernando Mendoza with Ashton

433
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 2: Genty and Rock Bowers assumably having Max Crosby as as

434
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:45,919
Speaker 2: a ferocious edgresser rusher.

435
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:47,640
Speaker 3: What's everybody think of that?

436
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 2: Fernando Mendoza with the Las Vegas Raiders, play action off Genty,

437
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 2: find yourself some receivers that'll think would be good enough

438
00:23:54,960 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 2: to eat the second pick. As Monday mock rolls alongs

439
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 2: to the New York Football Jets. Now with the Monday

440
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:06,639
Speaker 2: Mock that there are going to be trades, but we

441
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:10,120
Speaker 2: ain't making eight trades. Too complicated, too hard to figure out,

442
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 2: too hard to explain in Radio Audio Audio Radio World.

443
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:17,880
Speaker 2: So therefore second overall pick in the twenty twenty six

444
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 2: National Football League Draft, yours truly is feeling and vibing.

445
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:28,360
Speaker 2: The New York Jets may go this way.

446
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 4: It's the Monday mock nine to new fake to love.

447
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 5: They thought, I why.

448
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:38,639
Speaker 4: Sup dead?

449
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 8: Rubin Banks swire the defensive end wound up on a

450
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,920
Speaker 8: section and a fifteen yard return. When you chase the ball,

451
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 8: good things happen. And that's exactly what happened for Ruben

452
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 8: Bayn gets tipped up in the air A couple times

453
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 8: into the awaiting arms of the All American deepense have been.

454
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:59,439
Speaker 2: So here's the double edged sword I have putting together mocks.

455
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:02,160
Speaker 2: This this is really the first time. I can't remember

456
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 2: if if I nine to noon, ten to one, just

457
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 2: for fon Da and scoobay style, if we ever have

458
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 2: done mox, I don't. I don't. I purposely don't. Look

459
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:14,440
Speaker 2: at a lot of mock drafts online.

460
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:17,720
Speaker 1: I can tell you with almost complete certainty that other

461
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,520
Speaker 1: than the Power Trip mock draft, you and I have

462
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:22,119
Speaker 1: never done a mock draft.

463
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 3: Right, we may do.

464
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 2: Pickle at the nickel or offensive lineman of the day

465
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:31,639
Speaker 2: or whatever you know, and then go through it that way.

466
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:35,199
Speaker 2: But it's we're living on the edge, yeah, living on

467
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:39,679
Speaker 2: the edge. I purposely don't look at mocks because I

468
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:44,199
Speaker 2: don't want them to influence my opinion, because for for

469
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 2: better or for worse, and for quite some time now,

470
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 2: I like to make my opinion my opinion. And if

471
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:52,640
Speaker 2: it happens to be ten of ten wrong, well that's

472
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:55,199
Speaker 2: a that's a win for kfa N. If it happens

473
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 2: to be ten of ten right, well, if it's ten

474
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:00,440
Speaker 2: of ten wrong, that's a win for k f AN.

475
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:03,360
Speaker 2: And that gives six four, six, eighty six and talk

476
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 2: back opportunities and listenership for people to await the next

477
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 2: Monday mock to see how errant said selections are so.

478
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 2: But but see here's the problem that to do this,

479
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:19,159
Speaker 2: I got to look at mocks.

480
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:22,720
Speaker 3: So I have found one that I like.

481
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:25,880
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna say which one it is, and it's

482
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 2: not low hanging fruit.

483
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:30,399
Speaker 3: But I do it for the names and then.

484
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:35,200
Speaker 2: The the theory and philosophy of what I believe can

485
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:39,159
Speaker 2: help these teams we're mocking. Now this ruben Bain Junior.

486
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:41,400
Speaker 2: For somebody who doesn't watch a lot of college football

487
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:44,680
Speaker 2: nine to Noon has learned. The Miami Hurricanes were quite

488
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 2: good this year. And Ruben Bain Junior, this guy's a stud,

489
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 2: holy callous. He a nice player. So hey, you know

490
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:55,680
Speaker 2: the Jets go ahead and look at their edge rushers.

491
00:26:56,359 --> 00:27:00,200
Speaker 2: I mean they need something everywhere they could do. There's

492
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:02,159
Speaker 2: a left tackle. I almost put the cane there, but

493
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go Reuben Bain Junior to the New York Jets.

494
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 2: Now we get to number three, it's.

495
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:19,919
Speaker 4: The Monday mock nine to new Jeremiah Love it he spin.

496
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:31,479
Speaker 2: Here he goes Sarah mile Love fifty six yard touchdown.

497
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:32,920
Speaker 4: Run with a spin move.

498
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:36,720
Speaker 2: By the way, uh nordo mock the mock with different takes.

499
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 2: If you want reproof, reproof, rebuke, share steel, whatever you need,

500
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:46,160
Speaker 2: given you got a microphone in front of you. Arizona Cardinals. Yeah,

501
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 2: Jeremiah Love, Yeah, I almost put him on the Jets.

502
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:51,720
Speaker 2: All right, that's how much I like Jeremiah Love. I'm

503
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:55,479
Speaker 2: putting him third to the Cardinals because I'm quite certain

504
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 2: from some there's just a lot that goes into this

505
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 2: controversial Monday mock, so than the sneaky mock that I

506
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:03,840
Speaker 2: found so we got some calls and things like that,

507
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:07,359
Speaker 2: but a little time into it, why wouldn't we. I

508
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 2: don't think Jeremiah Love gets past the Tennessee Titans. I

509
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 2: ain't kidding you. I mean he may, and maybe the

510
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 2: intel's wrong because it's B minus intel. But Jeremiah Love

511
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 2: not only would help any team that drafts him. The

512
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 2: Arizona Cardinals have James Connors all right now, my man,

513
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:29,480
Speaker 2: the former Steeler missed a majority of the season last year,

514
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 2: and he's getting himself dinged up a little bit. Love

515
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:36,880
Speaker 2: is the future. New coach Mike Lafleur needs a running

516
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 2: back to pair with Connor exactly and just start there. Okay,

517
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 2: so what about the offensive line? Yeah, I understand that

518
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 2: their offensive line is substandard, so the Caine might go there.

519
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:52,719
Speaker 2: But I think there's so many possibilities Jeremiah Love can

520
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:55,240
Speaker 2: present for teams. Taking a running back third overall doesn't

521
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:58,400
Speaker 2: make sense, so again, reproof, but if he's.

522
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 3: The best player, doesn't make sense. Right.

523
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 2: That's a very very good point. You got a new

524
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 2: coach there, and he's of the offensive mindset. So I'm

525
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:09,479
Speaker 2: putting Jeremiah Love at number three. The Tennessee Titans are next.

526
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 2: It's the Monday Mock nine to now here. Mandy step

527
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 2: it up and he's taken down behind.

528
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 4: The line of scribbage. R Bell.

529
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:32,240
Speaker 2: Rvel Reese is the name and TfL's are the game.

530
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:37,160
Speaker 2: So with the Monday Mock and we're delivering eight today.

531
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 2: The final three or four will be in the final

532
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:43,280
Speaker 2: segment after Greg Coleman. We've gone Fernando Mendoza to the

533
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 2: Las Vegas Raiders, Ruben Bain Junior to the New York

534
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 2: Football Jets, running back Jeremiah Love to the Arizona Cardinals,

535
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 2: and we put Rvel Reese, Ohio state linebacker on the

536
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 2: Tennessee Titans, basically because I couldn't figure else.

537
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 3: I couldn't figure out who to put there. I always

538
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 3: loved that.

539
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:04,480
Speaker 2: I mean, honestly, I think they want Love, but I

540
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 2: think if I just have a feeling that the Cardinals

541
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 2: may take him and it's a longer shot that Love

542
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:11,960
Speaker 2: goes third.

543
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 1: Rvel kind of jumped out of it. I shouldn't say obscurity.

544
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:17,120
Speaker 1: I mean he plays for ohiose freaking stay right. But

545
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:21,480
Speaker 1: you see a guy that in three seasons no action,

546
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 1: plays in six games, title winning year two years ago,

547
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 1: he gets three and a half TfL's half a sack.

548
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:28,720
Speaker 1: Then he jumps through his skin six and a half

549
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 1: sacks this year ten TFLs Here you go, So it's

550
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:35,520
Speaker 1: if he goes fourth. Overall, that's one hell of an

551
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:38,959
Speaker 1: uprising for mister Reese emerging from obscurity.

552
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 2: Okay, now, the one of the people with whom I chatted,

553
00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:43,960
Speaker 2: I mean, I am l Kuiper over here with the

554
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 2: widow's peak.

555
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 1: It's just he kind of jumps out this singular.

556
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 2: Season for Arvel again. This is nine to noon Fena

557
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 2: Fairness and nine to noon Act. The last time I

558
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 2: watched Ohio's Date play a full football game, Art Schleister

559
00:30:57,680 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 2: was their quarterback.

560
00:30:58,640 --> 00:30:59,680
Speaker 3: I always loved that one.

561
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 2: Past Clarett may have been the running back running play

562
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 2: action to Joey Galloway.

563
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 3: I always love that one.

564
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 2: So I had no idea who Urvel race was until Saturday,

565
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:13,320
Speaker 2: and something you just said was one of the first

566
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 2: things that I was told is how he quickly has

567
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 2: jumped out of his skin. The combine reportedly was unbelievable.

568
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:22,680
Speaker 2: You got to be careful with players like that, see

569
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 2: Troy Williamson. But what would be surprising here is if indeed,

570
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 2: rvel Reese goes forth to the Tennessee Titans. That means

571
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 2: he would be drafted ahead of a teammate who is

572
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 2: markedly more accomplished.

573
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:50,200
Speaker 4: It's the Monday Mock nine to now Simmons over.

574
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:52,720
Speaker 3: The intercepted.

575
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 4: Picked up by Sunny Styles.

576
00:31:56,160 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 2: Sunny Styles, Sunny Styles linebacker Ohio's day buck guys might

577
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 2: have Ohio State players going boom boom, So why not

578
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 2: put him with the New York Giants? Why not put

579
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:10,720
Speaker 2: him with the New York Giants. Sunny Styles is a baller,

580
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:14,240
Speaker 2: but it would be a paramutual puzzler if Arvel Reese

581
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 2: is drafted ahead of him. But that's why we call

582
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:20,560
Speaker 2: it the controversial Monday Mock. The final three Cleveland, Washington

583
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 2: and New Orleans about an hour from now. Meanwhile, at

584
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:29,240
Speaker 2: ten forty five, let's head to Newsdnord.

Speaker 2: I'm us see big boy Parker Fox roll in while

592
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 2: I had my head down on Sunny Styles, Intel Peatbox

593
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:56,600
Speaker 2: Top of the Hour.

594
00:32:57,080 --> 00:33:00,160
Speaker 1: Didn't see half the team for the Howl on Saturday.

595
00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 9: No, the Wolves have the rebound. Copley right side three ball.

596
00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:06,480
Speaker 9: That's way off lock An Epistols have the rebound.

597
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 3: That's why offline.

598
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:13,240
Speaker 9: Servant leaves the Briton sets up. John take Rebo tickles

599
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:15,680
Speaker 9: the twine on a three tickle the twine.

600
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 4: Boy, that might do it.

601
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:19,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I might do. Eleanorton on the call. It didn't

602
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:24,720
Speaker 1: do it. No Ant, no Io Desumu, no Jaden, McDaniels,

603
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:27,640
Speaker 1: and I've already checked and maybe I can be corrected here.

604
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 1: I think Jaden's also been ruled out of tonight's game

605
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 1: against Dallas as well. Questionable would remain Ant and mister Desumu.

606
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:41,000
Speaker 1: But it was it was a bludgeting on Saturday. There's

607
00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:42,959
Speaker 1: no other way to get get after it with this

608
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 1: and next segment, maybe when when Parker's in studio other

609
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:49,880
Speaker 1: than college hoops, maybe we'll talk about how the matchups

610
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:52,160
Speaker 1: moving forward. With eight games to go, six of them

611
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:54,440
Speaker 1: are on the road trying to maintain a spot in

612
00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:57,320
Speaker 1: which they faced the Nuggets versus the Lakers, and maybe

613
00:33:57,360 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 1: the differences between how those two things shape up.

614
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 3: A couple of things here.

615
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:05,360
Speaker 2: One, Kate Cunningham did not play for the Detroit Pistons.

616
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 2: Why is that important because not only is he their

617
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:10,440
Speaker 2: best player, he's one of the best players in the NBA.

618
00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:15,160
Speaker 2: They had the collapse long thing right right. Secondly, Jaron Duran,

619
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:18,520
Speaker 2: a big for Detroit. Hadn't watched him much this year.

620
00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:22,640
Speaker 2: He really really has gotten good. Holy cow, he's got

621
00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:25,680
Speaker 2: some team leader to him too. Thirdly, oh, just another

622
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:28,600
Speaker 2: weekend game at Target Center. The Timberwolves get blown out

623
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:33,080
Speaker 2: with or without Ant seriously, Orlando, Philadelphia, La Clippers, and

624
00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:36,400
Speaker 2: now Detroit. When we are at home on the weekend,

625
00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:38,920
Speaker 2: we are getting blown out and it's just the weirdest

626
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:42,040
Speaker 2: thing in the world. So they're at Dallas tonight and

627
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:45,520
Speaker 2: they're at the Motor City Davy later this week feels

628
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:48,160
Speaker 2: like Thursday, so they get a chance to get back

629
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:50,320
Speaker 2: at these hated Detroit Pistons.

630
00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:51,120
Speaker 4: To the wild.

631
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:53,920
Speaker 1: Mister Hartman made it close. Pre software return pass for

632
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:56,719
Speaker 1: Zucarel escaped his grasp used for the left.

633
00:34:56,719 --> 00:35:00,120
Speaker 8: We've worked through it at front Harbin Stores. Great, we're

634
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:02,400
Speaker 8: in a couple of whacks, the second one out of.

635
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:04,000
Speaker 3: Mid air and he drills it home.

636
00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:05,640
Speaker 4: We've got a one goal game.

637
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:07,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was four to three at that point, six

638
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:09,239
Speaker 1: and a half ish minutes to go in the game

639
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:12,359
Speaker 1: against Boston. Well, and there was another goal for the

640
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:15,680
Speaker 1: Bees shortly after, an empty netter made it six to three.

641
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 4: Wild.

642
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:18,359
Speaker 1: They've only gotten points in three of their last eight.

643
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:21,719
Speaker 1: As I mentioned during the weekend ramp Weekend Rap, which

644
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:25,160
Speaker 1: is not exactly ramping up to the postseason. They're on

645
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:28,560
Speaker 1: the chill until Thursday, Vancouver in town and hopefully it's.

646
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:29,280
Speaker 3: A box in the box.

647
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:32,080
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, that would be nice if that's the case.

648
00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:35,440
Speaker 2: Don't have many opportunities left as regular season. But as

649
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:38,719
Speaker 2: we mentioned during the controversial Weekend Rap ninety minutes ago

650
00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:44,600
Speaker 2: copyright old school R and B singer Boss gags, why

651
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:46,040
Speaker 2: can't you just get it through your head?

652
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:46,439
Speaker 3: It's over.

653
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:50,640
Speaker 2: It's over now, that being the playoff situation for the Wild.

654
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:54,040
Speaker 2: But maybe we get a chance to do radio shows

655
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:56,920
Speaker 2: from the mile get High City with the Wild and

656
00:35:57,000 --> 00:36:00,879
Speaker 2: Avalanche Plane each other. I mean there's a puncher's chance.

657
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 2: I guess a puncher's chance the Wild can run down Dallas,

658
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:06,960
Speaker 2: but it's a long shot.

659
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 3: So Dallas Wild Round.

660
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 2: One beginning like April eighteenth, somewhere around there, Dallas will

661
00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:16,520
Speaker 2: have homeice advantage and there they are.

662
00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:19,439
Speaker 1: Well, we're your home for Vikings football. Where your home

663
00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:23,239
Speaker 1: for Gophers athletics? Where your home for Wolves basketball? Home

664
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:24,120
Speaker 1: for Wild hockey?

665
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:25,160
Speaker 3: Where are you going?

666
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:28,440
Speaker 2: Well, I'm just thinking about it. I have a masochistic wish.

667
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:31,920
Speaker 1: I'm just thinking about this and it's very very low percentage.

668
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:34,040
Speaker 1: But if it was to happen, and we would require,

669
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:37,360
Speaker 1: whether it's Lonnie, mister Rabbit and all the leadership involved,

670
00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:38,719
Speaker 1: to keep it go and go ahead.

671
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:40,880
Speaker 3: Keep going Round one? Yeah, keep going.

672
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:41,600
Speaker 1: Wolves and Nuggets.

673
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:41,839
Speaker 5: Yeah.

674
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:45,520
Speaker 1: Okay, So that means potentially mile high chilling out and

675
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:48,560
Speaker 1: doing shows out there. We're your home for Wolves basketball.

676
00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:51,680
Speaker 1: The fan we want to support that team. We're bringing

677
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:53,560
Speaker 1: the cheerleading operation on the road.

678
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:53,879
Speaker 5: Yeah.

679
00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:58,160
Speaker 1: The Minnesota Wild Round one they're in Dallas, So unfortunately

680
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:01,279
Speaker 1: we're watching from Afar, but routing we're not going to

681
00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:03,799
Speaker 1: Dallas because we're gonna be in Denver for Round one.

682
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 1: Wolves and Nuggets. The Wild are gonna beat the Dallas

683
00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:10,759
Speaker 1: Stars in six and we love Attinger, Minnesota's own. We

684
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:13,160
Speaker 1: love Ranton and all those guys. We're gonna handle Dallas

685
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:13,799
Speaker 1: in round one.

686
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:14,440
Speaker 3: Be sweet.

00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:19,560
Speaker 1: Round two yeah at the Avalanche. Yeah, nither Newton remains

688

689
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:27,280
Speaker 1: shows at KOA for round two. As we supported the Wolves,

690
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:30,280
Speaker 1: we would support the Wild. Basically, it's three weeks in Denver.

691
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:33,160
Speaker 2: Your thoughts, well, my thoughts are that wasn't where I

692
00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:35,560
Speaker 2: thought you were going. Oh but I do have a

693
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:40,120
Speaker 2: I do have an anxiety laden masochistic wish that I'll

694
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:44,240
Speaker 2: off for here momentarily. Okay, but Las Vegas Golden Knights,

695

Speaker 2: Network, high high up with the Las Vegas Golden Knights.

698
00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:01,280
Speaker 2: You know I'm talking about interested, Yes, initials bh, Yes, indeed,

699
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 2: let's just take this dream scenario and somehow find our

700
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:07,360
Speaker 2: way to a series against the Golden Knights.

701
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:11,440
Speaker 1: Okay, So Wolves Nuggets Round one, We're in Denver, Wild

702
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:14,799
Speaker 1: Avalanche Round two we remain in Denver.

703
00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:15,640
Speaker 3: Western Conference Final.

704
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:17,160
Speaker 1: Western Conference Final.

705
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:19,560
Speaker 3: Wow, I'd be great.

706
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:22,359
Speaker 1: Seven oh two. We got Bruce Cusick all over us.

707
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:24,800
Speaker 3: We got the whole thing, an absolute party.

708
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:27,440
Speaker 2: So here here is the I mean, just think about

709
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:30,759
Speaker 2: the level of anxiety that will cause you not to

710
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 2: go to.

711
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:33,000
Speaker 3: A corner office for about a week and a half.

712
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:33,839
Speaker 1: Yeah.

713
00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:39,200
Speaker 2: April twenty third, I do need us ay more. April

714
00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:42,720
Speaker 2: twenty third, the NFL Draft. Day one of the NFL Draft.

715
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:45,560
Speaker 2: We're your home from the Minnesota Vikings. But you know

716
00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:49,399
Speaker 2: what to whom much is given? Much as expected. If

717
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:51,840
Speaker 2: you want all these teams on your air waves, on

718
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:54,959
Speaker 2: your audio waves, on your radio waves, why you gotta

719
00:38:55,000 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 2: be ready for conflict. Here's the masochistic wish. NFL Draft

720
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:04,440
Speaker 2: Round one, April twenty third, Wild and Wolves both with

721
00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:07,640
Speaker 2: playoff games that day.

722
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:14,520
Speaker 1: That would be so juicy. Well, the only way to

723
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:18,080
Speaker 1: get out of that what if the Vikings trade out

724
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:19,400
Speaker 1: of the first round in advance.

725
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:22,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, that happens a lot. They'd be more have to

726
00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:25,279
Speaker 2: miss their pick than do that. I mean, that's the

727
00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:27,880
Speaker 2: thing they actually did do at one point, Yeah, twice

728
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:30,759
Speaker 2: back to back years. That was the origin of Mike

729
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:34,600
Speaker 2: Tye's okay, calm down when they missed their pick, and

730
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:38,319
Speaker 2: then he he Tye went so down memory lane. We

731
00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:42,960
Speaker 2: got Tye went so overboard at the field house at

732
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:46,879
Speaker 2: Winter Park and Eden Prairie to let people know our

733
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:49,040
Speaker 2: next pick is is going to be a kicker.

734
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:49,480
Speaker 3: Now.

735
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:52,360
Speaker 2: He went to Ohio State. Oh man, I can't remember

736
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:52,920
Speaker 2: the guy's name.

737
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:54,759
Speaker 3: Three to four.

738
00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:58,000
Speaker 2: I mean he was he was like, I mean, he's

739
00:39:58,000 --> 00:39:59,360
Speaker 2: supposed to be the bomb. I think he had a

740
00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:01,719
Speaker 2: good career but didn't live up to the hype. So

741
00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:06,040
Speaker 2: like the crowd was booing, and this old lady was it,

742
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:09,480
Speaker 2: Mike Nugent, thank you. This older lady was walking in

743
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:13,000
Speaker 2: front of Tice just cussing up a storm for missing

744
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:16,720
Speaker 2: the pick. Okay, calm down. That's when Tye said, okay,

745
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:19,080
Speaker 2: calm down. And then he gets done with the interview

746
00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:21,839
Speaker 2: with me and the superstar Mike Morris, and then he

747
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:25,319
Speaker 2: looks at like five thousand people not thinking, you know,

748
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:28,240
Speaker 2: this is o Forrest, so you know, got no social media.

749
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:32,000
Speaker 2: But nevertheless, there were cameras in facilities where they were like,

750
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:34,920
Speaker 2: let's go to Edon Prairie, Minnesota and see what the

751
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:38,280
Speaker 2: reaction is for the drafting of Bryant McKinney or Kevin Williams.

752
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:42,359
Speaker 2: Sure well, the camera was always running, so we go. Okay,

753
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:44,000
Speaker 2: thank you, coach, you have best of luck with the

754
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:46,560
Speaker 2: rest of picks and a round of applause. Looks at

755
00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:48,719
Speaker 2: the crowd like puts a finger over his lips like

756
00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:52,600
Speaker 2: sh and then gives a kicking motion like Nugent was

757
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:55,840
Speaker 2: going to be next. Okay, and the crowd applauded. The

758
00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:58,760
Speaker 2: problem is New York Jets may have seen it. Nugent

759
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:00,560
Speaker 2: went two picks ahead of where the kings we're going

760
00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:01,240
Speaker 2: to take Nudgen.

761
00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:03,560
Speaker 3: I always loved that Gilmtory lane.

762
00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:06,920
Speaker 2: We go because he was he was just trying to

763
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:10,520
Speaker 2: win the approval of Rupe nation that was cussing him

764
00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:14,240
Speaker 2: and booing him. And how come we keep missing our picks? Okay,

765
00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:18,200
Speaker 2: calm down, gives the kicking motion, not thinking the cameras

766
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:21,719
Speaker 2: in there Jets may have caught wind of it, sniped us.

767
00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:25,640
Speaker 1: How by the seat of his pants? Did Tys operate

768
00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:28,160
Speaker 1: once in a while, just as forward as he was

769
00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:33,759
Speaker 1: in interviews, opening of veins, in conversations bits like that.

770
00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:37,879
Speaker 2: I mean, Tys was a character. Dude, Well you've heard

771
00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:41,800
Speaker 2: me say this before. Generally speaking, when they're coaches, coaching

772
00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:44,880
Speaker 2: changes the whole thing completely flips.

773
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:45,280
Speaker 5: Yeah.

774
00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:50,520
Speaker 2: So, like Tye was a player's coach and the media

775
00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:55,000
Speaker 2: and fan base's best friend at times, Incomes Childress couldn't

776
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:57,319
Speaker 2: care less what anybody thought. I waited thirty years for

777
00:41:57,400 --> 00:41:59,520
Speaker 2: this job and exactly how I want to do it.

778
00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:03,600
Speaker 2: Out Here comes Leslie. I was loving human being ever

779
00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:06,600
Speaker 2: to coach the National Football League team period. He's out.
