00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 2: A bunch of things to get into. The quarter back

19
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 2: misses the entire second half. JJ McCarthy staying on the

21
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,039

00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:13,080

00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 2: But Ben Lieber back in Met Life, he had the

30
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:34,119
Speaker 2: opportunity to chat with Justin Jefferson, who today is six

31
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:35,679
Speaker 2: catches eighty five yards.

32
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 3: It's been a while since we've seen.

33
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 2: Number eighteen impacting games the way we know he can

34
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 2: and the way we've become very accustomed to six grabs

35
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 2: eighty five yards for him. Feels like what a banner

36
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 2: day for him. Right Well, he was chatting with Ben Leeber.

37
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 2: Let's listen, I'm.

38
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 4: Standing here with the very happy and celebratory Justin Jefferson

39
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 4: with the big OL's smile. You knew what you knew

40
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 4: exactly how many stats and yards you had this time?

41
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 5: Didn't for sure?

42
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 6: You know what a couple of plays, a couple of

43
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 6: big opportunities on third down, Uh, you know, me making

44
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 6: some some big plays.

45
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 7: Uh.

46
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:09,679
Speaker 5: And then of course you know, not really having that.

47
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 6: Uh, you know, statistics for the past couple of weeks.

48
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 6: You know, I definitely was locked in today.

49
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 4: All right, I'm gonna put you on the spot here.

50
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 4: You had two incredible catches on the sidelines. You gotta

51
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 4: choose one. Which one was your favorite?

52
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 8: Yeah?

53
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:29,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, for sure, I'm gonna say the second one. Yeah.

54
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 8: Yeah, Naylor's answering for you.

55
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:32,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, great ball.

56
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 9: Uh.

57
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 6: Just the late hands uh and then toe tapping on

58
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 6: the sideline on on.

59
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 5: That big third down.

60
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 6: That's that's very big for our offense to continue those

61
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 6: dribs and continue that momentum. Uh, and of course to

62
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 6: give Max to that confidence to continue to throw the ball.

63
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 5: Uh. So yeah, that that one was definitely one of

64
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 5: my favorite ones.

65
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 8: What did he say to you in the in the

66
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 8: huddle after that?

67
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 5: Great catch? Great catch?

68
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 6: But I always say, you know, I always practice those

69
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 6: type of catches always, you know, just try to overdo

70
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 6: myself in those type of situations. So for him to

71
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 6: give me that opportunity, for Ko to call that play

72
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 6: knowing that I'm most likely going to get that ball,

73
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:12,920
Speaker 6: I mean, it's just time and time again. We just

74
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 6: got to continue to figure it out and continue to

75
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 6: connect with each other.

76
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 4: Did you guys expect that much pressure early in the

77
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 4: game any kind of throughout. They didn't seem to be

78
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 4: a heavy blitzing team, but really from the first play

79
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 4: on they were there bringing some pressure.

80
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, I would say, just you know, for further quarterbacks

81
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 6: to not hold onto the ball too long and not

82
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 6: us taking the top off of their defense. So I

83
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 6: mean them just trying to get us to quick throw

84
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 6: the ball and getting it in and out of the

85
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 6: quarterbacks hands and for us to just go make those plays.

86
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 6: So those screens and the stuff in the first half,

87
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 6: those came from the blitz and us allowing to just

88
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 6: man on and just you know, go attack and go

89
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 6: get that first down.

90
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 4: It seemed like this game, more so than others, you're

91
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 4: involved in a lot more the quick underneath stuff, the

92
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 4: quick crossing routes, especially some of the yak yards that

93
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 4: you had.

94
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 8: Was that just a product of what they were doing.

95
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 4: Was that kind of built in the game plan and

96
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 4: kind of gets you involved underneath more often?

97
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 5: A little both.

98
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 6: I mean, just with how our defenses have been playing

99
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 6: me for the past two years.

100
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 5: They're really not allowing me to go deep.

101
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 6: They're not really allowing me to you know, take the

102
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 6: top off and to have those one hundred and fifty

103
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 6: yard games. So I mean, we got to get the

104
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 6: ball in my hand some type of way. So just

105
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 6: having those screens, having those quick plays to get me

106
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 6: the ball and let me just go work and get

107
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 6: those yards after the catch.

108
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:32,599
Speaker 4: You know, I'm always curious when you're running some of

109
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 4: those plays and you're doing the yards after catch and

110
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 4: sometimes on the undesigned screenplays, are you aware of some

111
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 4: of the blocks are taking place out in front of you?

112
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:41,039
Speaker 4: Or is this one of those things that you just

113
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 4: you just see color and you just try to get past.

114
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 5: Them a little mixture of both.

115
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 6: I'm kind of aware of the leverages and you know

116
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 6: where my guys are going to be at for me

117
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 6: to really take the you know, take the lanes. But

118
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 6: it's really you know, sea color get away from me.

119
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 5: They keep going. So it's just I mean, it's just

120
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 5: all about going in at tacking.

121
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 10: Uh.

122
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 6: My mindset was just going that day and attacking every

123
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 6: play that I have, each opportunity that I have, I

124
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:06,479
Speaker 6: got to make the most of them.

125
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, I gotta tell you from just a football standpoint,

126
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,599
Speaker 4: I mean, watching you guys run the screenplays, especially today,

127
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 4: it's pretty special.

128
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 8: Because it takes everybody.

129
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,679
Speaker 4: It takes timing, it takes rhythm, and it gets guys

130
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:17,799
Speaker 4: a hat on the hat.

131
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 8: And you know, I think I don't think.

132
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 4: People really appreciate just like the team effort it takes

133
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:23,159
Speaker 4: to have a successful screen.

134
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, for sure.

135
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 6: You know, a screen that doesn't just happen from one

136
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 6: person and making everybody missing go and score. It comes

137
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 6: from the O line getting getting out of their stance

138
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 6: and getting out to that to that why side. The

139
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 6: block for the tight ends the receivers to a block

140
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 6: as well. So uh, and then we always take an

141
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,479
Speaker 6: initiative to block in a run game as well. So

142
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 6: we're always trying to fight for one another. We're always

143
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,840
Speaker 6: trying to spring open that play, uh, that big play

144
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 6: that we need for the momentum, for the for the

145
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 6: confidence of everybody else on that offense. So I'm just

146
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 6: glad that I was able to get the ball a

147
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,839
Speaker 6: little bit, get those conversions on third down, uh, and

148
00:05:57,880 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 6: for the for the office to keep moving.

149
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 8: One for me here is like I know it was

150
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 8: a little windy out there.

151
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:03,799
Speaker 4: He was cool.

152
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:05,839
Speaker 8: I wouldn't make I wouldn't necessarily say cold.

153
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,839
Speaker 4: But you guys, he had some difficulty coming down with

154
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 4: some of those balls out there early on. You know,

155
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 4: was there something to that was the weather part of

156
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 4: that at all?

157
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:14,159
Speaker 10: Oh?

158
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 6: No, I wouldn't say, uh, the weather was a problem.

159
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:21,279
Speaker 6: It's just, uh, it's just how it happens, not really

160
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,039
Speaker 6: you know, a specific thing. Of course, we gotta you know,

161
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 6: be more focused and be more and locked in, uh

162
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:28,919
Speaker 6: to you know, catching those balls and uh to be

163
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 6: on the same page with the quarterback.

164
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:30,919
Speaker 10: Uh.

165
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 6: But you know we're we're never gonna say any excuses

166
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:35,160
Speaker 6: from us catching the ball.

167
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:36,280
Speaker 5: We got to catch the ball at the end of

168
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 5: the day.

169
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 4: Okay, I promise you this is the last one I

170
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:41,919
Speaker 4: was gonna let's I do want to touch on on Brosemer.

171
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 4: I mean, it's a pretty tough spot for any backup

172
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,840
Speaker 4: quarterback to come in, especially like that. You know, he continues,

173
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,359
Speaker 4: at least from us on the outside looking in, to

174
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:51,720
Speaker 4: just be calm and collected.

175
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:53,799
Speaker 8: Is that how he feels when he's in the huddles?

176
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 6: Well, I definitely agree. You know, you don't feel that

177
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 6: nervous vibe. You don't feel like he's uh too energetic

178
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:01,840
Speaker 6: or too hyped.

179
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 5: Up for that moment.

180
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 6: He's just cool, calm and collected, going in there doing

181
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 6: his job, leading in the offense to where we need

182
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 6: to go. But I mean, we always have confidence in

183
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 6: Max for confidence and JJ confidence and anybody to go

184
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 6: in there, go out there and do what we need

185
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 6: to do, just because of the preparation that we have

186
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 6: throughout the week, and of course the playmakers that we

187
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 6: have on the offensive side of the ball. So we

188
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 6: always confident in just going out there and playing our ball.

189
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 6: But this is the type of ball we should have

190
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 6: been playing for the whole entire season. So I'm just

191
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 6: glad that we're having that finished mindset rather than just

192
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 6: laying our heads all planning our vacations in the off

193
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 6: season and just going about our business.

194
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 5: So I'm just happy that I'm with this group of guys.

195
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 8: Yeah, great job, man, great game.

196
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 5: I appreciate it.

197
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 8: All right, it's back to you.

198
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 3: It's Ben Leber with Justin Jefferson again. Six catches eighty

199
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 3: five yards as part of the victory effort this afternoon,

200
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 3: sixteen thirteen to the final.

201
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 2: We're gonna pause and come back, Drew CJ. Hal Monty.

202
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 2: Everybody on hold from the phone line perspective. I got

203
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 2: talked backs, locked and loaded. Ron Johnson's going to enter

204
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 2: the freight and I'm actually going to talk to him

205
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 2: about the passing game today. Justin Jefferson and the QB

206
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 2: where it was a hand injury. We heard it from

207
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 2: the coach. Not exactly sure how severe it is, but

208
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 2: those are going to be at least a couple of

209
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 2: the talkers as we push on.

210
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 3: It's Vikings fan line.

211
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 2: Vikings now seven and eight, sixteen to thirteen victorious over

212
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 2: the New York Giants.

213
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 3: This is Minnesota Vikings football.

214
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 11: Minnesota Sports follow the leader.

215
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:32,199
Speaker 2: Minnesota Sports Leader is FM one hundred point three, the

216
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 2: FXN Racing Paul.

217
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 3: The fan.

218
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:45,079
Speaker 12: Guys, I have a fear that J. J.

219
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,839
Speaker 7: McCarthy might be an injury pro quarter of that.

220
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:49,680
Speaker 10: Can you discuss that?

221
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:52,320
Speaker 1: Tell us what you.

222
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 3: Think we will?

223
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 13: Thank God, we have another loss season for the min

224
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 13: Soda Vikings. We can't even evaluate our quarterback long enough

225
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:06,679
Speaker 13: to know if he can make it in the NFL.

226
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 13: We can't stand on the field more than three games

227
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:13,440
Speaker 13: at a time. My buddy cou said he would lead

228
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 13: the league interceptions, but we won't even know if that's

229
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 13: possible or not. Host coaching administration has a bad year

230
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 13: every other year and flops every other year unless we

231
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 13: have a week schedule.

232
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 1: Thank you.

233
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 3: What up?

234
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 2: Coups his buddy's name said? He said said JJ McCarthy

235
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 2: would lead the league in interceptions. That's what Coup said.

236
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:36,599
Speaker 2: Welcome back to Vikings fan line. You just heard a

237
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 2: couple of talkbacks free iHeartRadio app. Whether you're at home,

238
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 2: whether you're in the club, like you heard there, we'll

239
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 2: take them thirty seconds hit that microphone. Welcome back to

240
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,560
Speaker 2: Vikings fan line, and we will indeed talk about JJ

241
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 2: McCarthy who left at halftime with a hand injury.

242
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 3: To the true extent of it, we don't know.

243
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 2: The head coach, Kevin O'Connell went addressing the media just

244
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 2: minutes ago, noted that the X rays were negative, so

245
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 2: it's probably a positive sign. He'd be evaluated back in Minnesota,

246
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,200
Speaker 2: I believe tomorrow, and then we're gonna sweat that all

247
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 2: week into a Christmas Kiddies game at US Bank Stadium.

248
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 2: Ron Johnson is with me, Nordo and Ron, you know

249
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 2: the good times.

250
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 3: You heard that interview with Justin.

251
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 2: Jefferson got the six catches today. He did set a

252
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 2: record today most catches for an NFL player through their

253
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 2: first six seasons.

254
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 3: He passed Jarvis Landry.

255
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 2: You dig that if operation one sixty eight was a thing,

256
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 2: as in the number of yards it took to get

257
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 2: him to a thousand yards, we just chopped that in

258
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 2: half eighty five today. I think that Mancato mass is

259
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 2: about eighty three yards would be still required for him

260
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:46,200
Speaker 2: to get to the century mark. Also twenty something yards,

261
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 2: I believe, from passing Randy Moss for the most receiving

262
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 2: yards in six seasons.

263
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 3: So some cool things there.

264
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 2: Kid can't stay on the field, as in JJ McCarthy,

265
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 2: and there was some speculation it sounded like during Ko's

266
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 2: presser that it even happened before the rushing touchdown correct

267
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 2: in which he hurt his hand, and that this is

268
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 2: this is the concern that.

269
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:07,960
Speaker 3: The knee a year ago.

270
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 2: We see a lot of knees occurring in the NFL

271
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 2: every single year. But then there's the ankle, then there's

272
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 2: a concussion. Now it's the hand. Very troublesome in terms

273
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 2: of reps in rhythm for a kid that really really

274
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 2: needs every freaking snap he can get on the field.

275
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 14: Yeah, and hands are tough when you're a quarterback specifically,

276
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 14: you know, quarterbacks, receiver.

277
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 3: There's some position. Yeah, I mean if it was his

278
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 3: left hand he's got to throw the ball, he'd be fine.

279
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 3: You know, his left hand he can get through. I

280
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:35,320
Speaker 3: mean even his throw hand. Though remember earlier he doesn't

281
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 3: Herbert have like a broken left hand.

282
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 5: Uh. Possibly, I don't even know that.

283
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 3: I know McCarthy.

284
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 14: Remember you had the patch for the laceration early in

285
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 14: the season, so he's had some stuff.

286
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:46,680
Speaker 3: But here's the thing, and I did tweet out the video.

287
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:48,959
Speaker 14: It looks like he when he threw on the follow

288
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 14: that he hit his hand on I think ninety five's helmet.

289
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:55,199
Speaker 3: So it did actually happen. It is true. Brian O'Neill

290
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 3: did not get the quarterback hurt.

291
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 14: For everybody thinking that Brian O'Neill also, it was a

292
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 14: turn for so Brian O'Neill was taking the most dangerous

293
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 14: knowing they were going with a backside screen. He is

294
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 14: supposed to turn the last guy on the end loose,

295
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 14: which means your quarterback has to throw the ball into

296
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 14: the dirt. It's a screen. The guy jumped, he's in

297
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 14: your lane. You just throw it. You don't pull down

298
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:17,439
Speaker 14: the screen because you have no backside protection. Because they

299
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 14: turned the last guy free. By all accounts, the quarterback

300
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 14: would know that's on.

301
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,559
Speaker 2: He's probably running free, correct, because it has to get

302
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 2: rid of the freaking ball.

303
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 3: You pre count the number of guys.

304
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,839
Speaker 14: Now, now the guy dropped that, O'Neill thought he was

305
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,200
Speaker 14: gonna have to block. So should he have turned out

306
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 14: to Burns. Yeah, but Burns he didn't have time.

307
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 3: He wasn't gonna get to it. He wasn't going to

308
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:36,719
Speaker 3: get to him in time.

309
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:38,200
Speaker 14: So it's like you have to know as a quarterback,

310
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 14: I count the number of guys at the line of scrimmage.

311
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,959
Speaker 14: I know this guy number zero is unblocked. If the

312
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 14: screen's not there, I'm eli manning the bit. I'm throwing

313
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 14: it and I'm turning and curling up like a baby

314
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 14: and laying on the ground, like just throw it into

315
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 14: the ground underneath the feet of the guy jumping in

316
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:53,559
Speaker 14: the air, and the rest are going to let it

317
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 14: go because they're going to say, oh, yeah, you had

318
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 14: a screen out there called So that's and again, even

319
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:00,680
Speaker 14: if he doesn't get hit by Burns, you got linemen

320
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 14: down the field. You can't do anything else right, you

321
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 14: can't throw the ball. So again, that's on him. That's

322
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 14: not on the line, that's not on the you know,

323
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:10,679
Speaker 14: that's that's on him one hundred percent. But again that's

324
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,559
Speaker 14: just the learning curve of a young quarterback who hasn't

325
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 14: gotten that many snaps. Aside from that, you know, you

326
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 14: were talking about the number of injuries.

327
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's troublesome too.

328
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 14: You know the touchdown, I thought I was like, oh lord,

329
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 14: he might have got hurt there. So it's it's just

330
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:27,439
Speaker 14: one of this is how he's going to play, and

331
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 14: you got to see if this is what is worth

332
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:29,320
Speaker 14: next year.

333
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 2: Drew in Roseville, let's hit the phone lines. Drew, Welcome

334
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 2: to Vikings fan line.

335
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 3: Appreciate it, guys.

336
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 15: I just wanted to say, you know, with all the

337
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 15: two drops from Addison and Naylor, McCarthy stat line today

338
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 15: is eleven or fourteen, one hundred and thirty five yards

339
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 15: two touchdowns with the seventy eight percent completion percentage. I

340
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 15: guess my fear is that McCarthy's turning into our version

341
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:54,560
Speaker 15: of Royce Lewis and Byron Buxton just can't stay healthy,

342
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 15: but currently does not lack the athleticism or the arm strength.

343
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:01,719
Speaker 15: I think he's passed the test and hopefully he's back

344
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 15: out there for Detroit.

345
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 3: Appreciate it, guys, Yeah, thank you.

346
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 2: I'm actually glad that we started with Drew and that

347
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 2: particular talker, and then then we'll pause and then re

348
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 2: rejump the fanlight the phone lines. But he's accurate prior

349
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 2: to the hand injury, I mean, and that's the that's

350
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:21,359
Speaker 2: the frustrating, you know, putting asterisks on things and caveats

351
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 2: and his sides and yeah, butts, et cetera.

352
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 3: Before that happened, he was well on his way.

353
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 2: It appeared to offering a similar, if not even improved

354
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 2: performance to what we saw in Dallas and Washington prior

355
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 2: to that. Jordan Adison has to take a hard look

356
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 2: in the mirror after that drop in the end zone.

357
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 2: That's just ridiculous and unacceptable. The interest free the interception

358
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 2: that he did throw. Naylor's got to catch that, yeah,

359
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 2: and that's behind him a little bit though, so we have.

360
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 14: To hit him in the hands the ball, make the

361
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 14: catch behind him justin Jefferson's now there's nurse. Third down

362
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 14: play was behind him. So there's still some little things here.

363
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 14: And there that he's got to get the ball out.

364
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 14: That the outroute to Justin Jefferson. He threw a one

365
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 14: ball versus two ball. Justin Jefferson's wide open. You don't

366
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 14: need to zing it out route, like I get it.

367
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 14: You don't want a guy to break on that and

368
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 14: pick six it. But you got to see the corner.

369
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 14: The cornerback was seven yards off. Just just get it

370
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 14: out there early so you're not waiting to like he's

371
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 14: waiting to throw the ball, vers throwing it on time

372
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 14: and kind of floating it out there. You know the

373
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 14: stuff we talked about Jared Golf where they said, oh,

374
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 14: he doesn't have a strong arm, but he gets the

375
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 14: ball out on time. He doesn't have to have a

376
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 14: strong arm, correct And that's where JJ has to learn

377
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 14: that part of the game.

378
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 3: I just I was.

379
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 2: I was impressed with his decision, making his choice to run.

380
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 2: He got an eight or a nine yard scramble in

381
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 2: the game, not without its worse though you mentioned those instances.

382
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 2: How about the pick six that thankfully was called back

383
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 2: because if Duel Carter was off side, I mean, they're

384
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 2: just preposter and it was thrown too high and it's

385
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 2: off the fingertips, you're right into the hand.

386
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 14: I mean, Naylor's got to get a hops though, jumping. No,

387
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 14: I'm joking, I'm joking. I'm not gonna put that.

388
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 3: No, man.

389
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 14: Somebody tweeted a great point, though, when aren't we going

390
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 14: to start giving interceptions to receivers? Like, at what point

391
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 14: are we going to start taking them away from quarterbacks

392
00:15:57,600 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 14: if it touches.

393
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 3: His hand, Yeah, and he should have called it's.

394
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 14: Not on the quarterback stat You put that on the

395
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 14: receivers now get interceptions when it hits them in the

396
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 14: stomach and then it just like you know, incompletions, when

397
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 14: are we going to give those to receivers to just

398
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 14: drop it because that like again, it's not gonna happen.

399
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 14: It was a great It was a great tweet. I

400
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 14: was like, I didn't think about that, Like if receivers

401
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 14: had to take negatives, meaning like you caught seventy and

402
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 14: they actually put your drops in your stat line because

403
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 14: we have to look those up to the people that

404
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 14: do the next gen stuff. But imagine if that was

405
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 14: on a stat line of drops for receivers and interceptions

406
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 14: for receivers.

407
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 3: Guys would change how they thought about stuff.

408
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 2: No, they absolutely would, but it would just create a

409
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 2: new platform for arguing because, for instance, then was out

410
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 2: the quarterbacks fall the pick six called back.

411
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 3: I believe that was off in Naylor's fingertips.

412
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 2: It was then who's ye okay, but but that's but

413
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 2: that's on JJ.

414
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 3: Naylor could not have caught that. It was high.

415
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 2: But the one that was off of Naylor and the

416
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 2: pick that did count pulsing to debo maybe yeah, I

417
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 2: mean he just lucks into that thing as he's walking

418
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 2: out of bounds.

419
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 14: That's on Naylor, every bit of it. Oh yeah, that

420
00:16:57,720 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 14: is I mean that hit him in the hands. But

421
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 14: on Naylor's two again, that's that's on JAYZ because if

422
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:04,359
Speaker 14: he throws it sooner, he can throw it softer. Meaning

423
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:08,199
Speaker 14: now Naylor running across can just jump and catch a

424
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 14: soft ball that was a fastball. Again, he has to

425
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 14: learn when to throw the one ball, when to throw.

426
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 3: The two ball. But what is this game eight for him?

427
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 3: You know again we're just I mean, it's it's game nine.

428
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:19,639
Speaker 5: Nine.

429
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh lord, it was a tough game.

430
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:25,199
Speaker 2: There there were bits I was hoping that could have

431
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 2: been pulled from game number nine for McCarthy nine.

432
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:30,439
Speaker 3: But it didn't work nine didn't work out.

433
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:32,639
Speaker 2: That, Let's do this so it's it's It is a

434
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 2: bit of a truncated fan line.

435
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 3: If you're kind of rushing along, we're about to pause.

436
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 2: The reason for that is, uh, we got a big

437
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 2: one today from Minnesota Wild fans. Wild hosting the Avalanche

438
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 2: at Grand Casino Arena. Puck dropped shortly after five pm,

439
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 2: So we're going to get our segments in. We're going

440
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 2: to get calls, takes, and talkers, of course, but we

441
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 2: are going to work at a little bit faster pace

442
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:55,160
Speaker 2: today and looking forward to seeing the while just keep

443
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,880

448
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:10,159
Speaker 2: without their quarterback for the second half, you want to

449
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 2: see a little more brosmer You got them today the

455
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 17: Not that we won't have a lot of questions about

456
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:43,639
Speaker 17: the defensive secondary and even of course our quarterback, but

457
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 17: kind of want to highlight the center position. I don't

458
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:51,359
Speaker 17: see Ryan Kelly being the stable answer at center, and

459
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 17: I'm glad that they've been focusing on the offensive line

460
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:56,679
Speaker 17: of the draft and the defensive line of the draft.

461
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 17: Is that somewhere you think that we should be again

462
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 17: having a prioritize in the draft this year or should

463
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 17: we look in the free agency market.

Speaker 2: to Vikings fan Line.

473
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 9: Right, yeah, thank you you guys do a great job too.

474
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:34,919
Speaker 3: Oh thank you?

475
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:39,200
Speaker 9: How about that sadly, Yeah, on that one quarterback that

476
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 9: that the defensive talking about a Giants, they need to

477
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:43,639
Speaker 9: work on the offensive line. They need to get that

478
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 9: fig because you keep having a hit like that, they're

479
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 9: going to lose a quarter quarterback pretty so they are

480
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,160
Speaker 9: down to their backup now.

481
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 7: Also awesome.

482
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 9: One other things if they ever go to an eighteen

483
00:19:55,280 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 9: game schedule, what they should do is increased the roster

484
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,680
Speaker 9: from fifty three to sixty three and then throwing a

485
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 9: fight techie squad, you know, to go with that. That way,

486
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 9: if anybody gets important, they got some of the replace with.

487
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:15,159
Speaker 16: Don't worry about that trying to.

488
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 9: Gnaggle the roster, you know, Yeah, because I could say

489
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:21,360
Speaker 9: something right now, we're over at Joe Montana and Pat

490
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:24,879
Speaker 9: Mahost said like this, they're the same way with McCarthy.

491
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:28,159
Speaker 9: They got the offensive line, Stay said, guess what happened

492
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:30,159
Speaker 9: all of fame careers.

493
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 2: Indeed, I appreciate, Yeah, I appreciate the call. Hell have

494
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:38,639
Speaker 2: an awesome day. In terms of eighteen game schedules, increasing

495
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,919
Speaker 2: the roster, the practice squad already provides some protection in

496
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,440
Speaker 2: terms of a taxi squad, is it? But but yeah,

497
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:47,680
Speaker 2: I mean at some point potentially having more bodies technically

498
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:50,359
Speaker 2: available on game day, but that's not you know that

499
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,119
Speaker 2: those are things probably that'll come up in discussions to

500
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 2: the offensive line, the house point, to the talkbacks point.

501
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:59,400
Speaker 2: It does kind of feel whether you know, Brian O'Neil's

502
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:01,720
Speaker 2: been been up in now getting nicked up, and he

503
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:02,359
Speaker 2: was back.

504
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 3: In there doing his thing today. We like that.

505
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 2: But then Ryan Kelly with another concussion potentially as he

506
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:08,919
Speaker 2: was unable to return.

507
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 3: We know Darisa's out for the year.

508
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 2: Into the season, we're thinking this addressed in free agency,

509
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 2: that this is a position group of strength ron and

510
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 2: now as we slowly pull out the string on this season,

511
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 2: here two more games to go, You're going into the

512
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 2: offseason with questions concerning maybe O'Neil's consistency of availability combined

513
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:30,440
Speaker 2: with age.

514
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 3: And I love Brian O'Neil. Ain't trying to run him

515
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 3: out of town.

516
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 2: I need to know where Christian Darisa is at right

517
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:38,119
Speaker 2: and we're all going to hope and assume that a

518
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:40,200
Speaker 2: full off season for him will lead to good health

519
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 2: and just the mentality of getting back into the mix.

520
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 2: Ryan Kelly, and this is just as a fellow human,

521
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 2: I'm like six concussions, dude, Like I got zero faith

522
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 2: in that, and if he wants to play and continue

523
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 2: to play, those are decisions that I'm not a part

524
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 2: of making.

525
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 3: But in the end, it's.

526
00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:58,879
Speaker 2: Like I kind of like our draft pick, and I

527
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:02,199
Speaker 2: think Will Fries has slowly ascended into being maybe the

528
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 2: most reliable offensive lineman in the group right now. Like

529
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:08,159
Speaker 2: I'm not super high on the Minnesota Moving Company in

530
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:08,639
Speaker 2: this moment.

531
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:11,680
Speaker 14: Yeah, And so you know, first to your point about

532
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:16,479
Speaker 14: Brian O'Neill, I think his injuries are avoidable, you know,

533
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 14: like I think those can he can move on from those,

534
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 14: the concussions with or sorry, and then let me go

535
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:22,640
Speaker 14: to darrisaw next.

536
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 3: He got hurt with that Week eight.

537
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 14: I think last year it's something like that Week nine

538
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 14: Thursday night game in the Rams. So, like I said,

539
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 14: eight or nine, he shouldn't have been back potentially the

540
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:38,160
Speaker 14: way everybody's saying it's a twelve month injury until week

541
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,439
Speaker 14: eight or nine of this season theoretically, because people are

542
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:43,160
Speaker 14: saying Mahomes won't be back even next year because it's

543
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 14: so late in the season. If you're thinking he's going

544
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:46,919
Speaker 14: to come back for Week fifteen or sixteen, he's not

545
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 14: coming back right. So that's where darris Au Darisol came

546
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 14: back sooner than expected, like Adrian Peterson, but he's not

547
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:56,159
Speaker 14: Adrian Peterson. He's carrying a lot more weight, you know,

548
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:58,919
Speaker 14: just him walking around with that three hundred plus pound body, Like,

549
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 14: that's a lot on that knee. So whether there's additional swelling,

550
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:06,480
Speaker 14: scar tissue, whatever, that's that. So we had to figure out,

551
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 14: like you said, a full off season and then come

552
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 14: back next OTAs or training.

553
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:10,640
Speaker 3: Can't where is he at?

554
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:14,919
Speaker 14: But with Kelly, yeah, like that's like that has nothing

555
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 14: to do with his ability that is one hundred percent.

556
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 14: His brain is just kind of like, dude, this might

557
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,439
Speaker 14: be it for us, you know. And I'm not gonna

558
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 14: say specific things or Guardian caps or whatever, because there's

559
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 14: all kinds of conversations out there about that. The only

560
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 14: thing I've seen is Christian Darrisaw is wearing the Vices

561
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 14: trench helmet, and that's the new one from Vices the

562
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 14: Patrick Mahomes and then where the regular Vices Aaron Jones

563
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:38,879
Speaker 14: wears the regular Devices, but then there's the Vices trench

564
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 14: that added that front protection. Okay, that's the only thing

565
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 14: I could see him jumping to next year if he

566
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:46,199
Speaker 14: decides to come back. I don't know where he's at

567
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 14: now for him and what he's doing, and I'm meant

568
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 14: to look at that. But that's crazy, you know when

569
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:52,160
Speaker 14: you think about all because a lot offensive lineman George

570
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 14: Kittle jump to it. That's the only other thing I

571
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 14: could see because the Guardian cap I don't really think.

572
00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 14: I mean Romeo dubs. It didn't really work for him

573
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 14: per se. You know, he was still getting hit.

574
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 18: Well.

575
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 2: I think the tough thing as you as you start

576
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:07,200
Speaker 2: to stack these things is it's not like highlight slow motion.

577
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, how is his head still attached to

578
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 2: his neck? No? I mean there can be just random stuff,

579
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 2: innocuous contact of what would appear to be pretty soft.

580
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 14: It's head to the ground. I mean anything head to

581
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:21,360
Speaker 14: the ground and it's going to the ground. And that's

582
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 14: when you see these guys. But like see I think

583
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:25,200
Speaker 14: they say like sixty to seventy percent of offensive line

584
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 14: and their hits are coming up front like because they're

585
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:29,920
Speaker 14: doing it every every play. So that's the only other thing.

586
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:31,879
Speaker 14: But other than that, yeah, it's like, what's what's in

587
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:34,240
Speaker 14: the draft, you know, what's in the draft or center?

588
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 14: Is there any free agent centers out there? Because yeah,

589
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,399
Speaker 14: the offensive Donovan Jackson I think played pretty well. We

590
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 14: haven't said much about him and like any poor play

591
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 14: from him, right, so they and Fries. I think when

592
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:46,959
Speaker 14: he's healthy, he's good. Darris all we know is good

593
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:50,480
Speaker 14: when he's healthy. Yeah, I think O'Neill's fine. It comes

594
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 14: down to now like center, and then is JJ McCarthy

595
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 14: what is that going to look like?

596
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 3: CJ? And Saint Paul CJ. Welcome to Vikings fan line.

597
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 7: Hi guys, thanks for taking my call. I guess my

598
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:06,200
Speaker 7: you know my overall point. And then I have another

599
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 7: question is on offense. We were we're nervous, you know,

600
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 7: and we have the ball, you know what I mean.

601
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:18,320
Speaker 7: I mean it takes you know, was it thirty five

602
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 7: seconds you know between plays or whatever the play cluck is,

603
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 7: But we like come out of the huddle at like hm,

604
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:28,119
Speaker 7: you know what I mean, and now we change the

605
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:32,199
Speaker 7: play and it doesn't matter if it's McCarthy or brosmur

606
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:36,119
Speaker 7: or whatever, but you know, and we maybe snap it

607
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 7: at like fifteen, you know, because we have the ball

608
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:43,320
Speaker 7: in the defense doesn't know what play we're going to

609
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 7: run you know what I mean. Yeah, we just we

610
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 7: seem to run it down to we run it down

611
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 7: to like a half a second, and it doesn't doesn't

612
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:56,399
Speaker 7: help our quarterback. Just we know the play, snap the

613
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 7: ball and run the play.

614
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, yea. I appreciate you calling in, CJ. I

615
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 2: would actually say, and there was a delay a game today.

616
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:05,879
Speaker 2: I don't know if maybe that was part of the

617
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:08,920
Speaker 2: reason CJ brought that up. That has been a consistent

618
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:11,440
Speaker 2: thing that we've talked about. Just clearly, it's too busy

619
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 2: in the headset and these guys are breaking the huddle

620
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 2: with ten twelve seconds left, and now I'm asking the

621
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 2: kid to do all the pre snap work in that

622
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:21,439
Speaker 2: limited time. I actually think that's been a lot better

623
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:23,920
Speaker 2: the last few weeks. I don't know what you've seen.

624
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:26,240
Speaker 2: I mean, there are always moments I saw. I did

625
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:29,679
Speaker 2: see a couple plays earlier today where I'm like, hello, like,

626
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:32,440
Speaker 2: would we like to continue running the offense here? One

627
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:34,119
Speaker 2: of them results in a delay a game. But I

628
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 2: actually think that has improved. Yeah, snapping in a.

629
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:38,719
Speaker 14: Fifteen No, I would say no, But I do understand

630
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:40,680
Speaker 14: a caller's point. But you probably do it's okay to

631
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:42,200
Speaker 14: snap it around five to seven.

632
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:46,120
Speaker 3: I think he may have meant breaking the huddle. Oh,

633
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 3: breaking the huddle of fifteen, okay, yeah, I think help.

634
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:51,439
Speaker 3: So just about I think he's about to stab it.

635
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 14: At fifteen because he said the defense doesn't know we're

636
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 14: doing we come to the line of scrimmage.

637
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:58,360
Speaker 3: I think just about every offense grinds that thing down because.

638
00:26:58,160 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 14: You want to be able to So if you heard

639
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:02,680
Speaker 14: like again, because the crowd was quiet, according to Jonathan Vilma,

640
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:06,960
Speaker 14: so you could hear you're so mad in Vilma, you

641
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 14: could hear, you know, the offensive calls.

642
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:13,119
Speaker 3: He's not a great analyst. It just some of the stuff,

643
00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 3: he says, I get it. It was a.

644
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 14: Bad like it was a slow game, so you're trying

645
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:18,680
Speaker 14: to feel dead air. But it just felt like some

646
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:23,400
Speaker 14: of the chatter was unnecessary and wrong, so.

647
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:25,680
Speaker 3: You wouldn't mind it, he said. He said he drew

648
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:26,400
Speaker 3: up a play.

649
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:28,200
Speaker 14: And said this was the play they ran when Dallas

650
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 14: Turner had a sack. And so in my mind, I'm like,

651
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 14: Dallas Turner got a sack? When did he get a sack?

652
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:35,160
Speaker 14: So you know, it's just like little stuff like that. Again,

653
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:37,120
Speaker 14: I watched the game a little too close, so maybe

654
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:38,440
Speaker 14: the fans didn't even notice that.

655
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:40,880
Speaker 3: But I was like, he didn't get a sack. When

656
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 3: did he get a sack?

657
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 14: But anyway, so going to the caller's point, though, you

658
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 14: hear the kill kill kill, you hear the can can can,

659
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:48,679
Speaker 14: and then you hear okay, go go go, which means

660
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 14: we got to hurry out.

661
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 3: I'm at three seconds. Let's just run what was.

662
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 14: Called right there. It's it's a billet chick defense. So

663
00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:58,720
Speaker 14: that's what you know de Bowl was running. That's what

664
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:00,880
Speaker 14: Floores kind of runs, which is I'm going to try

665
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:03,000
Speaker 14: to mess with you up until you snap this ball.

666
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:06,680
Speaker 14: That's where Jajon McCarthy and both Max Brosmer were trying

667
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 14: to can and switch to plays. Yeah, maybe come to

668
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 14: the line at fifteen seconds so you're not coming down

669
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:15,119
Speaker 14: to that three second deal one. But Jackson Dark had

670
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 14: a couple of delay games and false starts too because

671
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 14: of that, because he was getting down to that one

672
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 14: second mark and then the line was jumping because they

673
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:22,720
Speaker 14: thought it was snapped or it was just a delay game.

674
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:25,720
Speaker 14: So yeah, they but yeah, I think Kevin O'Connor did

675
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 14: take away from the early stuff.

676
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,600
Speaker 2: I think I think there's been great improvement there overall

677
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:33,440
Speaker 2: in terms of breaking the huddles. That's where and then

678
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 2: you know, if you're putting people in motion, we're trying

679
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 2: to see if we got manner zone and just kind

680
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 2: of all that pre snap stuff.

681
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 3: Don't hurry.

682
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 2: It's been a lot better over the last few weeks,

683
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 2: with room to grow.

684
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:45,720

00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:25,240
Speaker 11: After this year, it's going to be tough to imagine

694
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 11: keeping Addison, Naylor and Jefferson in a CAP league. I

695
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:33,720
Speaker 11: know that point you move on from Addison, we signed

696
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 11: Naylor and try to draft a Wed receiver to replace him,

697
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 11: or do you think it's Felton or you say, hey,

698
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 11: we're gonna go to wide receivers helped craft some of

699
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 11: the fifty six ground was injured and live more on

700
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 11: the defensive side.

701
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 2: And Howard in Chicago, it's up to thirty seconds.

702
00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:57,680
Speaker 3: Howard.

703
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:01,640
Speaker 2: Yes, I've received ten of your text messages as well.

704
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:03,360
Speaker 3: Welcome back. It's Vikings fan line.

705
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 2: Sixteen thirteen is the final it met life and the

706
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 2: Vikings now seven and eight winners are three straight. For

707
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 2: those talking about the draft, maybe they're frustrated that the

708
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 2: Vikings won today because the Vikings are now sitting and

709
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 2: I just go to NFL Tankathon if you ever heard

710
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:22,480
Speaker 2: of that website. Ron, Yeah, they are now currently they're

711
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:25,959
Speaker 2: currently fourteen in the draft as it sits now at

712
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 2: seven and eight, so that slowly crept down the list

713
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 2: Vikings fans from. I think at one point I saw

714
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 2: him at ten or eleven, so a few spots in

715
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 2: the draft due to these victories, probably nine and eight.

716
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 2: Do you like the victories because you get to see

717
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 2: good things from your tenth overall selection a couple of

718
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 2: years ago, JJ McCarthy or is it truly all about

719
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:49,000
Speaker 2: trying to thread that needle and get as high up

720
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:51,080
Speaker 2: the drafts chart as you possibly can. That's up to

721
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 2: you to decide. I like seeing good things from the QB.

722
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 2: I'd like to see my QB staying on the field. Yeah,

723
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 2: hand injury negative, then he'll be evaluated. Nobody's fault tomorrow,

724
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 2: Monty and Wilmer Monty, welcome to the Vikings fan line.

725
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 16: Hey, what's going on just a little bit of Carthy's development.

726
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 16: What I'm seeing is he's making throws now that he

727
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 16: did not make at the beginning of the season. They're

728
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 16: not flying ten feet over Jefferson's head, and they're not

729
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:29,120
Speaker 16: coming up short or behind too often. But what's frustrating

730
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 16: with JJ right now is there's a lot of hard

731
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 16: things to do as quarterback. To me, he's not doing

732
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:37,840
Speaker 16: the easy things like Ron you pointed out through that

733
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:40,640
Speaker 16: screen pass in the dirt. I mean, that's that's an

734
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:43,880
Speaker 16: easy one. Get the snap off before the play clock

735
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 16: runs out, that's an easy one. I want to touch

736
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:49,880
Speaker 16: on the defense a little bit. Everybody talks about Flora's

737
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 16: getting another head coaching position. I'd like to pull the

738
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:57,880
Speaker 16: Viking fans. It seems to me that Flores does more

739
00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 16: with the defense with less injuries than O'Connell does more

740
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 16: with the offense with less Your thoughts like I kind

741
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 16: of like Laura's, you know, as being a head coach,

742
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:10,920
Speaker 16: but with the vikings.

743
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 3: Thanks guys, thank you. I appreciate it.

744
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 2: First of all, you can tell there's part of me

745
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:21,080
Speaker 2: that says he'll be interviewed and they'll go through the process.

746
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:24,400
Speaker 2: I just wonder how much this lawsuit and the and

747
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:26,080
Speaker 2: the that actually.

748
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 3: Going to go through now.

749
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:29,720
Speaker 2: But but I think that as part of that, I

750
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 2: wonder how much that factors in into not ultimately being

751
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 2: a final candidate for another team.

752
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 3: Oh huge, These owners are friends, Like, you're suing.

753
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:42,800
Speaker 14: My buddy that I'm golfing with next week, Like like.

754
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:45,880
Speaker 2: I would have to, and it will potentially require change

755
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 2: that I'm not even interested in dealing with.

756
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:49,520
Speaker 14: So when you saw a lot of the owners push

757
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 14: Snyder out right for the commanders, and they were sick

758
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 14: of him, Like whatever he was doing, they were sick

759
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 14: of it. They were sick of the culture, the womanizing,

760
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:57,600
Speaker 14: all the stuff they heard about. They're like, all right,

761
00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:00,320
Speaker 14: let's get rid of them. They pulled that one, the

762
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 14: Carolina guy. Remember he did some weird Yeah, he did

763
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:04,160
Speaker 14: some weird stuff in his office.

764
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:05,880
Speaker 3: He threw a drink on a fan. I think too.

765
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 3: He threw a drink on a fan.

766
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:10,160
Speaker 14: He also like he liked massages on his feet or

767
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:12,560
Speaker 14: something like, you know, all kinds of weird stuff like that.

768
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:15,160
Speaker 14: So the Panthers owner, Yeah, just look at out one

769
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 14: of the stuff he has some he has some stuff

770
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:19,720
Speaker 14: in his office where he liked to get massages from like.

771
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 3: Red Ring but fetish.

772
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:27,360
Speaker 14: But so if the owners don't turn on the Dolphins owner,

773
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:31,160
Speaker 14: there's not a chance that one of these owners are

774
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 14: gonna take that chance before unless there's an issue, Like

775
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:35,320
Speaker 14: if there is an issue with the Dolphins, they'll be like,

776
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 14: who cares if you're suing the Dolphins, come be my

777
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 14: head coach, you know.

778
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 3: And I think that's what's gonna take.

779
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 14: I think the Giants would have been a great landing

780
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 14: place if Belichick hadn't texted.

781
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 3: The wrong Brian, like that created some drama.

782
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:50,040
Speaker 14: You know, like if if Belichick never texts Brian floor

783
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 14: as congratulations, He's like, is this wait, who is this?

784
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:56,480
Speaker 3: This black Brian and white Brian?

785
00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 14: This is black Brian, coach. Oh my bad, it's white

786
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:01,360
Speaker 14: Brian that got the job. But if you had not

787
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 14: have done that, then the Giants probably would have bought

788
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:06,800
Speaker 14: him in because he would be a great fit for

789
00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:08,839
Speaker 14: New York. When you talk about the big lights out there,

790
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:12,279
Speaker 14: this defense that he has, it's another Belichick extension of

791
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:12,880
Speaker 14: the defense.

792
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:15,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's just gonna be. It has to be a.

793
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:18,239
Speaker 14: Team that doesn't care about the Dolphins to pull the

794
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:19,560
Speaker 14: trigger because these guys are friends.

795
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:21,799
Speaker 2: On the other side of that, though he was, it

796
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 2: sounded like there was an insinuation that Flores would become

797
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 2: the head coach here.

798
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:28,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think that that's not that's not gonna happen.

799
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:31,480
Speaker 2: Uh to the text line, if you're the head coach,

800
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:33,520
Speaker 2: what is the goal in these last few games?

801
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:33,919
Speaker 5: Now?

802
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:36,880
Speaker 2: Two of course Christmas Day and then a week from Sunday,

803
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:40,040
Speaker 2: two weeks from today border battle? Is the focus just

804
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:43,080
Speaker 2: on getting McCarthy more snaps? Are you trying to play

805
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:45,680
Speaker 2: some backups to see what they are made of? Are

806
00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 2: you already shopping for future vikings in the trade pool?

807
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:50,160
Speaker 2: What do you do if you're if you're the head

808
00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 2: coach ron, what is the what is what is the

809
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:54,279
Speaker 2: massive a topic for you?

810
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:59,359
Speaker 14: A L l U m all up everything? You're trying

811
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 14: to do all of that, like you want to see

812
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:03,400
Speaker 14: your quarterback. You want to see who's going to make

813
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:07,319
Speaker 14: this roster, no T because it's just like b O

814
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:09,919
Speaker 14: F f U M both of them. It's it's both

815
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:12,880
Speaker 14: all of them, both of them. When you when you

816
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:16,120
Speaker 14: think about that, yeah, Max knows when you think about that, right,

817
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:18,400
Speaker 14: it's it's it's the ability.

818
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 11: To be.

819
00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 3: We are laughing, all right, I didn't know that.

820
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:31,279
Speaker 14: Yeah, both of them for people at home, just and

821
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:35,080
Speaker 14: I think, but all of them for those it at home.

822
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:38,680
Speaker 14: It's you want to do it all, but you have

823
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:42,040
Speaker 14: to see because again, this season's over, right, we know that.

824
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:46,680
Speaker 14: So it's signing guys the minute this season ends, you

825
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:50,560
Speaker 14: gotta start scouring the earth for free agents of who

826
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:52,520
Speaker 14: you want to bring you in for the off season.

827
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:56,480
Speaker 14: You're looking at who you have. Is Isaiah Rodgers coming back?

828
00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:58,719
Speaker 14: You know, you know, can you afford to keep him?

829
00:35:58,719 --> 00:35:58,960
Speaker 3: It does?

830
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:01,160
Speaker 14: He He did a great out today, you know, playing

831
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:03,600
Speaker 14: that that deep third and broke up that pass on

832
00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:06,360
Speaker 14: what's his name the dude from uh it was no

833
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:10,359
Speaker 14: Wandale Moore or Wandale Robindale Robinson. You know, that's that's

834
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:11,799
Speaker 14: what you do. So you have to do it all.

835
00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:13,680
Speaker 14: But you only have two games left to do it.

836
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:16,480
Speaker 14: I think the a topic is JJ McCarthy. If he

837
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 14: can go, you gotta let him keep going because you

838
00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:23,400
Speaker 14: gotta build on this shoulder head toes, pure progression stuff

839
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:24,319
Speaker 14: that you're trying to get out of the.

840
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:26,919
Speaker 2: Last two and a half games have given me a

841
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:29,920
Speaker 2: ton of optimism. Yeah oh yeah, but now the hand

842
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:32,600
Speaker 2: is the anvil that crushes all of that.

843
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:35,760
Speaker 14: It's like chasing o is at the Wiley coyote, chasing

844
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:38,320
Speaker 14: the road runner, like yeah, you eventually are there and then.

845
00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:42,200
Speaker 3: Boom, there's it's it's you're done. All right, let's let's

00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:09,560
Speaker 2: as well, but the defense just tee and off at

890
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:13,280
Speaker 2: times on Jackson dart All part of the victory calls,

Speaker 2: text talkbacks, few truncated segments leading you up to Wild

892
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:20,799
Speaker 2: Hockey Wild hosting the AVS massive Central Division collision on

894
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:25,440
Speaker 2: after five pm. I let's jump to the phone lines.

895
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:28,879
Speaker 2: Hammy in Rochester, Hammy, welcome to Vikings fan Line.

896
00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:35,400
Speaker 10: Hey, how are you guys? Happy holidays? But anyway, what

897
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:38,640
Speaker 10: I want to get to it's not the game. It's

898
00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:43,480
Speaker 10: about the roster and what is going on. We have

899
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:49,279
Speaker 10: three years of failed drafts. We have no you know,

900
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:55,040
Speaker 10: talented depth at all. I mean it, you can't. The

901
00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:59,600
Speaker 10: equation is to build a team through free agency with

902
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:04,799
Speaker 10: the other end a failure. You can't sustain it. I mean,

903
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:08,520
Speaker 10: I've been watching this team and I cried after Super

904
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:12,520
Speaker 10: Bowl four. I mean, I'm that old. I'll be sixty

905
00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:16,200
Speaker 10: five in May. And you know what, I hope you

906
00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:21,840
Speaker 10: guys have heard of a man called Jim Finks. Jim

907
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:28,480
Speaker 10: Finks built the nineteen seventy Vikings drafted foreman I mean

908
00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:33,040
Speaker 10: Ed White Ron here, I mean Gene Washington, Clint Jones,

909
00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:37,040
Speaker 10: Allan Page, etc. You know where he went from. Then

910
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:42,920
Speaker 10: he went to Chicago and he built the eighty five Bears.

911
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:48,240
Speaker 10: Now that is a general manager. And I'm just saying,

912
00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:52,080
Speaker 10: you know, I know I'm old, but you know what

913
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:55,359
Speaker 10: it is? What it is?

914
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:00,560
Speaker 3: All right? Early birthday.

915
00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:01,759
Speaker 2: By the way, I don't know if I'll talk to

916
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:06,879
Speaker 2: you before next May. Happy sixty fifth Finks or anybody else.

917
00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:09,320
Speaker 2: All the way through Spielman and now quasidol Fa mensa

918
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:12,399
Speaker 2: Ron depth is is a part of the conversation, not

919
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:15,640
Speaker 2: necessarily you know, one hundred percent in the draft season yet.

920
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:18,520
Speaker 2: But that goes whether it's into the O line conversation

921
00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:23,160
Speaker 2: that we're talking about Harrison Smith about, it's it's it's

922
00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:24,520
Speaker 2: incidental contact to the.

923
00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:26,799
Speaker 3: Helmet, it's the world we live in now. Disappointed.

924
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:28,640
Speaker 2: I think that would have been his twenty first and

925
00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:31,160
Speaker 2: a half sack of his career that was taken away

926
00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:33,160
Speaker 2: because of the Russian roughing the passer.

927
00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:34,279
Speaker 3: Dumbest thing ever.

928
00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:38,840
Speaker 2: Safety is a spot that lacks depth at this particular point.

929
00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:41,760
Speaker 2: Depth at the corner spot could be discussed as well.

930
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:45,719
Speaker 2: I got to give it to Hammy in Rochester. He's

931
00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:48,120
Speaker 2: dead on from from a depth standpoint. We talked about

932
00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:50,439
Speaker 2: it with the old line just a couple segments ago. It's,

933
00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:53,960
Speaker 2: you know, places that we may have felt confident in

934
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:56,680
Speaker 2: into the season or even recently. But as this thing

935
00:41:56,719 --> 00:41:59,040
Speaker 2: winds down, there are a ton of things on the

936
00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:01,200
Speaker 2: to do list for the general manager at this point.

937
00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:02,640
Speaker 2: Depth is a massive part of that.

938
00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:07,719
Speaker 14: Yeah, and so when you talk about the I forgot

939
00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:09,480
Speaker 14: was the first caller. Maybe they said we should have

940
00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:12,440
Speaker 14: an additional group of people they go eighteen games.

941
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:13,400
Speaker 3: I think that's part of it.

942
00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:13,760
Speaker 5: Right.

943
00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:17,600
Speaker 14: Some people have said eighty players, eighty players, eighteen weeks.

944
00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:19,920
Speaker 3: If that's the route you go.

945
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:25,239
Speaker 2: Well, but that doesn't address the talent issue to say, oh,

946
00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:27,440
Speaker 2: if you get eighty players, you can have ninety.

947
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:33,120
Speaker 3: So if you get eighty players, where are these additional.

948
00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:35,040
Speaker 14: Like where's the cause is there? Because that's my question

949
00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:38,960
Speaker 14: right now. Either one is it a dollars thing? So

950
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:43,120
Speaker 14: then let's go to eighty and also increase these billionaires

951
00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:46,719
Speaker 14: to be able to pay more because you're saying, oh,

952
00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:49,560
Speaker 14: I can't afford this guy because I don't have this cap.

953
00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:52,040
Speaker 14: Baseball doesn't have a cap. I'm not saying football should

954
00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:54,520
Speaker 14: not have a cap, but maybe it's just so low

955
00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:57,960
Speaker 14: that you're having to pay for these younger, inexperienced players,

956
00:42:58,000 --> 00:42:59,200
Speaker 14: or you're having because like if we look at the

957
00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:00,480
Speaker 14: free agent list right now.

958
00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:03,319
Speaker 3: Well, no, that's it's because we haven't drafted effectively. That

959
00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:03,839
Speaker 3: could be part.

960
00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:07,479
Speaker 2: You're focused on the dollars, I am, but the team

961
00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:09,759
Speaker 2: has to spend. There's been some guns, and everyone has

962
00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:11,279
Speaker 2: to spend the same amount of dollars. They have the

963
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:12,920
Speaker 2: same amount of money to spend and they get to

964
00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:16,880
Speaker 2: allocated however they see fit. Our particular team has to

965
00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:21,239
Speaker 2: spend more via free agency because we are not effective

966
00:43:21,239 --> 00:43:21,800
Speaker 2: in the draft.

967
00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:24,440
Speaker 14: True, but if we were the Cardinals, if we were

968
00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:27,520
Speaker 14: the I can go down the list of teams right now, Saints,

969
00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:29,480
Speaker 14: Like if we were doing the Saints fan line, Cardinals

970
00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:30,400
Speaker 14: fan I guarantee I.

971
00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:31,520
Speaker 3: Think they've won three or four straight.

972
00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:35,360
Speaker 2: It might be fun Tyler Tyler shuck, Tyler Shuck, but

973
00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:36,000
Speaker 2: I think they would be.

974
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:37,560
Speaker 14: Saying the same thing about some of their draft picks,

975
00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:40,120
Speaker 14: you know, like how many have worked out for those teams,

976
00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:43,320
Speaker 14: you know, and where they're drafting, Like I get Will Johnson,

977
00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:47,040
Speaker 14: Marvin Harrison all this stuff in their three win team,

978
00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:49,640
Speaker 14: you know, like it's it's it's more to it with

979
00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:51,600
Speaker 14: the chemistry and end guys and bringing them in. I

980
00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:53,680
Speaker 14: do agree you have to draft better because I think

981
00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:56,080
Speaker 14: somebody I forgot which draft class it was, but Spilman

982
00:43:56,520 --> 00:43:58,480
Speaker 14: has some tankers too, Like if you go back to

983
00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:01,160
Speaker 14: the was a Keller Kellen Mond?

984
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:04,719
Speaker 3: Is anybody from that draft all the round? Like I

985
00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:07,640
Speaker 3: think maybe one guy, one or two guys like, oh okay,

986
00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:10,239
Speaker 3: so let me see Kellen Mond it was?

987
00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:16,440
Speaker 2: That was a big ten offensive line Die Wyatt, Uh Wyatt, what.

988
00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:18,680
Speaker 3: You're talking about? It was Troy Die though I think

989
00:44:18,680 --> 00:44:20,040
Speaker 3: he was in that group.

990
00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:22,480
Speaker 2: But there was an Ohio. There was a big ten

991
00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:24,719
Speaker 2: offensive lineman of the year. As part of that, we

992
00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:28,160
Speaker 2: drafted four guys. Chaz Surrat may have been in that

993
00:44:28,239 --> 00:44:31,319
Speaker 2: mix as well. It was the four greatest third round

994
00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:34,160
Speaker 2: picks in the history of the NFL draft.

995
00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:36,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, twenty twenty one, that was the one.

996
00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:36,719
Speaker 5: Yep.

997
00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:38,719
Speaker 3: And do you have those names in front of you?

998
00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:43,359
Speaker 3: I think so, Minnesota Vikes, Kellen Mont third round picks. Okay,

999
00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:45,040
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go to I'm gonna go to Q and

1009
00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:05,560
Speaker 19: times of my day.

1010
00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:07,440
Speaker 10: I'm on the road so much it's crazy.

1011
00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:11,720
Speaker 19: Shout out to you guys. This fanline stuff is tough.

1012
00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:16,480
Speaker 19: And the last one shout out to Rex Ryan. Don't

1013
00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:19,719
Speaker 19: fetishes or what it's about. Don't kink shame. Now I'm

1014
00:45:19,719 --> 00:45:23,640
Speaker 19: gona get to my point. I don't know. Some people's

1015
00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:28,200
Speaker 19: love language are words of affirmation, and I got some

1016
00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:33,600
Speaker 19: for you about our young quarterback. I'm not really worried

1017
00:45:33,600 --> 00:45:36,440
Speaker 19: about anything that I've been seeing because I know that playing.

1018
00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:37,440
Speaker 10: Quarterback is hard to do.

1019
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:40,480
Speaker 19: We've been seeing improvements. The one thing that I am

1020
00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:44,480
Speaker 19: concerned about is how he kind of is paper machine man. Yeah,

1021
00:45:44,600 --> 00:45:48,600
Speaker 19: Joe Burrow is sick. Right, He's super nice, but he's

1022
00:45:48,960 --> 00:45:53,120
Speaker 19: injured so much so if JJ were able to just

1023
00:45:53,120 --> 00:45:56,239
Speaker 19: play good every time he's in and put up like

1024
00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:59,800
Speaker 19: all Star numbers but only play put up pro bow numbers,

1025
00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:03,040
Speaker 19: but only play six games a year, does that make

1026
00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:03,880
Speaker 19: everybody happy?

1027
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:04,080
Speaker 5: No?

1028
00:46:04,640 --> 00:46:07,239
Speaker 19: I don't think that it would. I like what I've

1029
00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:11,200
Speaker 19: been seeing. I'm not upset we can't win fourteen games

1030
00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:13,680
Speaker 19: every year. I feel good goal fights.

1031
00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:18,919
Speaker 2: Let's go appreciate it. Que Merry Christmas to you. Uh yes,

1032
00:46:19,040 --> 00:46:21,279
Speaker 2: that that is that. That's where my head's at, as

1033
00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:24,440
Speaker 2: well as is maybe many Vikings fans is. In addition

1034
00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:27,600
Speaker 2: is okay. I'm worried about the growth. I'm starting to

1035
00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:29,480
Speaker 2: see the growth. I just saw two and a half

1036
00:46:29,600 --> 00:46:32,480
Speaker 2: games worth of tape. That tells me I think the

1037
00:46:32,560 --> 00:46:34,319
Speaker 2: kids starting to get it. Things are starting to slow

1038
00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:37,319
Speaker 2: down for him. That's super cool. The hand injury, his

1039
00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:42,600
Speaker 2: availability is becoming, maybe at this stage, more problematic than

1040
00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:46,160
Speaker 2: even his base ability. Yeah so I uh so, so

1041
00:46:46,239 --> 00:46:48,239
Speaker 2: I'm with you, q man. There are things to be

1042
00:46:48,280 --> 00:46:51,600
Speaker 2: positive and optimistic about. When it comes to McCarthy, I.

1043
00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:54,279
Speaker 14: Will give you the quick draft you you're right, Wyatt Davis, Why,

1044
00:46:55,480 --> 00:46:56,560
Speaker 14: Patrick Jones.

1045
00:46:56,360 --> 00:47:02,200
Speaker 3: Patrick Jones, Kelen mon Knawan cambine him, but he's not here.

1046

1050
00:47:15,880 --> 00:47:18,960
Speaker 2: Pitt from Pitt. Yeah, and he honestly looked like he

1051
00:47:19,080 --> 00:47:22,520
Speaker 2: was seven years old, built like a bowling ball. Didn't

1052
00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:24,879
Speaker 2: work out for him, the sixth round draft pick. We're

1053
00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:28,800
Speaker 2: gonna pause truncated segments. As I mentioned when we returned,

Speaker 10: Listen.

1080
00:48:41,080 --> 00:48:43,680
Speaker 12: I don't understand how we're saying we're seeing growth from

1081
00:48:43,680 --> 00:48:46,480
Speaker 12: the kid. We're playing some of the worst defenses in

1082
00:48:46,520 --> 00:48:50,120
Speaker 12: the league and we're giving it like he's playing the

1083
00:48:50,160 --> 00:48:53,360
Speaker 12: Eagles of the Patriots or these crazy defenses.

1084
00:48:53,360 --> 00:48:53,680
Speaker 6: He's not.

1085
00:48:54,200 --> 00:48:57,319
Speaker 12: He's playing trust defenses and he's playing good, great, Well,

1086
00:48:57,320 --> 00:48:59,120
Speaker 12: what happens when he can't stay in the field? What

1087
00:48:59,200 --> 00:49:01,719
Speaker 12: happens when he can't play a good defense? Like we

1088
00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:04,640
Speaker 12: need a new quarterback first? Can't win a super Bowl

1089
00:49:04,800 --> 00:49:07,480
Speaker 12: with a crappy quarterback? Only the Ravens kind of no one.

1090
00:49:07,640 --> 00:49:08,440
Speaker 12: I'm ridiculous.

1091
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:16,480
Speaker 2: Talkback machine free, iHeart radio app. You acknowledge he's playing good?

1092
00:49:16,560 --> 00:49:18,960
Speaker 2: What can't what happens when he can't stay on the field.

1093
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:21,840
Speaker 2: That's the point via the talkback, and I appreciate the

1094
00:49:21,840 --> 00:49:25,480
Speaker 2: talk back and the perspective. I don't see, as you said,

1095
00:49:25,520 --> 00:49:28,120
Speaker 2: I don't understand how we're seeing growth from the kid.

1096
00:49:28,200 --> 00:49:31,239
Speaker 2: I don't see how you can pragmatically look at the

1097
00:49:31,320 --> 00:49:34,040
Speaker 2: last games, the last three games, and say that you're

1098
00:49:34,080 --> 00:49:34,960
Speaker 2: not seeing growth.

1099
00:49:35,680 --> 00:49:39,400
Speaker 3: So is it just is it Stubborn didn't want the kid?

1100
00:49:39,480 --> 00:49:42,640
Speaker 2: You wanted Donald and so you're almost willing yourself into

1101
00:49:42,640 --> 00:49:45,000
Speaker 2: this idea. You're rooting for him to fail in some

1102
00:49:45,040 --> 00:49:47,759
Speaker 2: ways so that you can be validated or vindicated in

1103
00:49:47,800 --> 00:49:51,840
Speaker 2: your idea. I don't know, he isn't good enough to

1104
00:49:51,880 --> 00:49:54,880
Speaker 2: win a Super Bowl right now. Absolutely not, and that

1105
00:49:55,320 --> 00:49:57,960
Speaker 2: I will agree with you. That needs to improve. He

1106
00:49:58,040 --> 00:50:02,040
Speaker 2: needs to stay on the field to and so that's

1107
00:50:02,040 --> 00:50:03,960
Speaker 2: where I'm at, not trying to pretend he's playing the

1108
00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:06,719
Speaker 2: eighty five Bears every week. He has looked markedly better

1109
00:50:06,760 --> 00:50:10,160
Speaker 2: the last three games. There is measurable improvement to what

1110
00:50:10,200 --> 00:50:13,080
Speaker 2: you're seeing from JJ McCarthy. So but you're right, we

1111
00:50:13,080 --> 00:50:15,399
Speaker 2: can't win a Super Bowl with what we're seeing out

1112
00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:18,040
Speaker 2: there on the field right now, no doubt about that.

1113
00:50:18,120 --> 00:50:21,400
Speaker 2: You and I are in lockstep part of the process

1114
00:50:21,840 --> 00:50:24,840
Speaker 2: drafting a kid, raising him needs to be better and

1115
00:50:24,920 --> 00:50:26,759
Speaker 2: needs to be on the field to get better his

1116
00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:29,360
Speaker 2: hand injury. It's troublesome. This is now, I believe is

1117
00:50:29,680 --> 00:50:31,200
Speaker 2: what have we got here? I saw I a text.

1118
00:50:32,800 --> 00:50:33,399
Speaker 8: What is it?

1119
00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:36,160
Speaker 2: Name the McCarthy injuries in order and win a fifty

1120
00:50:36,160 --> 00:50:40,440
Speaker 2: dollars gift card to o'connellcare dot org. Thanks for the texts.

1121
00:50:40,800 --> 00:50:43,480
Speaker 2: The fact of the matter is he needs to stay

1122
00:50:43,480 --> 00:50:45,040
Speaker 2: on the field. He needs to get better from the

1123
00:50:45,120 --> 00:50:47,240
Speaker 2: knee a year ago to now, the ankle, the concussion

1124
00:50:47,600 --> 00:50:50,439
Speaker 2: and the hand today. That is a problem that needs

1125
00:50:50,480 --> 00:50:52,680
Speaker 2: to be rectified. But if we get to see him

1126
00:50:52,680 --> 00:50:54,800
Speaker 2: on Christmas. Ron, that's gonna be cool, right.
