Speaker 3: Lieber in the locker room shortly after this one.

25
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 2: Felt cool about it.

26
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,399
Speaker 3: It was, you know, two hundredth regular season game for

27
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 3: Harrison Smith wearing purple and gold. Would have liked the

28
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 3: w the down trodden longtime Viking safety is with liber.

29
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 4: All Right, guys, thanks a lot. I'm down here in

30
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 4: the Vikings locker room with Harrison Smith. Obviously, huge milestone

31
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:42,680
Speaker 4: game for you, two hundredth career game.

32
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 2: I mean, let's just start there.

33
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 4: I mean, I know the game didn't go the way

34
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,559
Speaker 4: that you guys wanted, but you personally, how's it feel?

35
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 2: Is it surreal?

36
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 4: Has it sunk in yet that you played two hundred

37
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 4: games as the Minnesota Viking.

38
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 5: Yes and no, it's not really like something you set

39
00:01:57,840 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 5: out to do or like, look at I didn't even

40
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 5: know that's what it was, so I was told this week.

41
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 2: So pretty cool.

42
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 5: There's not a lot of you know, guys have that

43
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 5: have done it just with the Vikings, so to.

44
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 2: Be be a part of that group means a lot

45
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 2: to me.

46
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 5: It was obviously, you know, memorable, having my my wife

47
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 5: and kids up there to to blow the horn before

48
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 5: the game. So but at the end of the day, like,

49
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 5: I'm here to play football and win games, So all

50
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 5: that stuff is nice, but trying to win well.

51
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,360
Speaker 4: Turning to the game, you guys, you guys didn't you know,

52
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 4: in my opinion, you guys played winning football on the

53
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 4: defensive side. You know, you gave up some yards on

54
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:36,920
Speaker 4: the ground a little bit in the second half, but

55
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 4: you knew that was gonna happen because they like to

56
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 4: run the football. You guys end up getting the Caleb

57
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 4: a couple of times, two sacks on the one drive.

58
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 2: But what did it take coverage wise.

59
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 4: Because we saw him multiple times where he had to

60
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:49,919
Speaker 4: sit there and bounce around in the in the back there,

61
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 4: you guys caused a bunch of confusion, went into what

62
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 4: went into kind of confusing him in the back end.

63
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 5: Really just just covering our our our assignment. You know,

64
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:03,359
Speaker 5: I thought that the corners did a great job covering

65
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,079
Speaker 5: all day, plastering, you know, because Kayleb's going to buy time.

66
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 5: He's he's one of the best at it, and he

67
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 5: makes some unbelievable plays back there to buy time. So

68
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 5: we just kept at it, and you know, really the

69
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 5: main thing I think we've seen the last few games.

70
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 5: We have to create some turnovers, and how do you

71
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 5: guys go about that?

72
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:25,359
Speaker 4: I know, it's one of those things like you you

73
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 4: talk about it, you preach it, you try to do

74
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 4: all the things during the course of the week, But

75
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 4: when it comes to the course of the game, it's

76
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 4: also one of those things you can't force as well.

77
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 5: Right, Yeah, you know, especially when they start committing to

78
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 5: run the ball, it's going to reduce some opportunities through

79
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 5: the air. But you know, a couple of balls on

80
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 5: the ground today, Just find a way to get those.

81
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,119
Speaker 5: Make something happen in the past game. But we're doing

82
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 5: a lot of good things. Just got to kind of

83
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 5: stay the course and keep grinding.

84
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 2: What is it about this team in the fourth quarter?

85
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 4: Even though I mean you go back to the to

86
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 4: the Bears game at Soldier Field Week one, you guys

87
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 4: are down similar fashion and started the fourth quarter and

88
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 4: then all of a sudden, there's another gear.

89
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 5: What do you guys find that extra gear in the

90
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 5: fourth I don't know exactly. Some teams kind of have it,

91
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 5: some don't. This this team obviously has it. What we

92
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 5: have to do is find a way to start that

93
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 5: earlier obviously, and that's you know, different formulas for different teams,

94
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:19,040
Speaker 5: But we got to find a way to start faster

95
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 5: and kind of create that fourth quarter feeling early on.

96
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 2: Is that sort of the message.

97
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 4: I know you're going to have some time to think

98
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:29,359
Speaker 4: about it in this next twenty four hours, but as

99
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 4: you guys get ready to go on the road to

100
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 4: play Green Bay another division opponent, like you as a leader,

101
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 4: what sort of things you can be talking about and

102
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 4: preaching to the rest of the team this.

103
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 5: Week basically, you know, similar to what I just said,

104
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 5: it's it's not when games are you know, you lose

105
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 5: a game at at the buzzer on the field goal there,

106
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 5: there's always going to be plays you can correct. But

107
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 5: at the same time, like there's a lot of good

108
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 5: there and focus on that and tighten up a little

109
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 5: here and there, and like I said, start start faster,

110
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 5: just the feeling of of that fourth quarter. There's obviously

111
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 5: something with this group that gets going, so find a

112
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:06,720
Speaker 5: way to harness that sooner.

113
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 4: You know, again, I know you're not about personal accolades,

114
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 4: but congratulations on the two hundredth career game. You got

115
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 4: obviously a lot more attack in here, but congrats and

116
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 4: well we'll see you in Green Bay.

117
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 2: Thanks Ben. All right, ask back to you.

118
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 3: As Ben Lieber with Harrison Smith and in studio now

119
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 3: as we kick off fan line, Ron Johnson. You heard

120
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 3: Ben Lieber speaking to Harrison there and he says, felt

121
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 3: like you guys played some winning football on defense. I

122
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 3: didn't mention the sixteen to thirty two, the buck fifty,

123
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 3: the score, and the two picks from the quarterback. So

124
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 3: let's talk about the QB here and we'll start fan

125
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 3: line with Jeff and Stillwater. Jeff, Welcome to Vikings fan line. Jeff, Bye, Jeff,

126
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 3: Sorry about that. Let's go to Jermaine and Mancato. Jermaine,

127
00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:58,840
Speaker 3: Welcome to Vikings fan line.

128
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 6: What's up, Norda, What's up? I appreciate you guys taking

129
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 6: these calls. I first just want to say, I know

130
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 6: after a loss doing this can maybe be brutal, so

131
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 6: I'll try not to pile on the negativity here too much.

132
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 6: But yeah, appreciate you guys doing this. But here's here's

133
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:17,599
Speaker 6: where I'm at with this team and kind of what

134
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:19,480
Speaker 6: I want to get your take on. I don't think

135
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 6: we're a good football team right now. And it's not

136
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 6: just about McCarthy. I mean, yes, he hasn't played well,

137
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,040
Speaker 6: and he's he deserves some of the blame for sure,

138
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,840
Speaker 6: But I think there's just something deeper going on. And

139
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 6: it feels to me like this is a you know,

140
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 6: a focus and a care issue. Like good teams make

141
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 6: routine plays in all three phases, right We're not doing that.

142
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 6: And when you've got like veteran guys like Harrison Smith

143
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 6: and Josh Mattelis missing tackles like on that crucial third

144
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,600
Speaker 6: down because they're not wrapping up, or you've got guys

145
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 6: like Jefferson and Addison and Hockinson dropping routine passes that

146
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 6: they should make. That's that's not a talent problem. That's

147
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 6: that's a guy's not being mentally locked in problem. And

148
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 6: I think when it team keeps making the same mistakes

149
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 6: like that on offense and defense and special teams, that's

150
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 6: the textbook definition to me of a bad team. Good

151
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 6: teams don't beat themselves, and right now it feels like

152
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 6: this team just we aren't focused enough or don't care

153
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 6: enough to stop doing that. So I wanted to see

154
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 6: you know what you guys thought. Do you think it's

155
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 6: a focus issue or a care issue, because that's what

156
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 6: it feels like to me. This is a much different

157
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 6: team than we were last year in the way they're playing.

158
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 6: So that's my question. I'll hang up and listen.

159
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 2: Thanks guys, Yeah, I dig it.

160
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 3: Thank you, great call and man Cato of course, I

161
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 3: mean we only get great calls from man Cato my homeland,

162
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 3: and I appreciate that.

163
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:37,119
Speaker 7: Ron.

164
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 2: You know, you fix the false starts. Yep.

165
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 3: I only had the ball for twenty three minutes, So

166
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 3: if they would have had six or seven false starts today,

167
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 3: I mean, that would have been unbelievable. But to the

168
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 3: point of Jermaine's call, the idea of a lack of

169
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 3: focus going beyond the qbright JJ McCarthy was putrid today

170
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 3: except for one drive.

171
00:07:58,680 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 2: But you did see the drops.

172
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 3: You did see, you know, Harrison Smith and and I

173
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 3: think I remember that play.

174
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 2: It was third and long.

175
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 3: I think Colston Lovelin maybe right over the middle, and

176
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 3: I mean it was just a straight olay. I think,

177
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 3: you know, I know, two hundred regular season games, that's

178
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 3: a sweet moment for Harrison Smith. And I love Harry

179
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 3: my goodness, He's got to offer more than just a

180
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 3: little feigning elbow as he falls to the ground in

181
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 3: front of him. A lot of that, and then you

182
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 3: have the Duverne kick return at the end. What do

183
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 3: you think about that?

184
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, I'm not gonna say it's because it's

185
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 8: a bad team or they don't care that, you know,

186
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 8: like those plays happening, like the Justin Jefferson you know,

187
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 8: off the fingertips, the Jordan Addison off the fingertips, the

188
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 8: JJ McCarthy, the high thrown balls, Aaron Jones dropping earlier,

189
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:41,079
Speaker 8: you know, TJ.

190
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 3: Hockinson, Adamot, the third down drop by Hawkinson.

191
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 8: Yeah, like it was in the bread basket, you know,

192
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 8: and so and those are the type of plays that

193
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 8: bad teams can't win games with, right, So if you

194
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,439
Speaker 8: want to call it a bad team, you can't win

195
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:58,679
Speaker 8: a game if you're not making a place. Yeah, I

196
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 8: don't know the answer to that one. I'm not gonna

197
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,320
Speaker 8: say it's players not being locked in. I think they are.

198
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 8: Like you don't show up for a football game knowing

199
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 8: that you could you know, you you could be hurt

200
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:10,199
Speaker 8: in your career could be over. Like, you don't go

201
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 8: out there likes of days ago. In these situations you know,

202
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 8: I just I just think there's something fundamentally off with

203
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 8: like the mindset and the move. Like the moove just

204
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:21,199
Speaker 8: seemed really off. Like the throws were high, so receivers

205
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 8: are you know, And then you know, you can see

206
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 8: Kevin o'conne kind of mouth and stuff. You can see

207
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 8: Jaj McCarthy like mad at himself. So you know, I

208
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 8: don't know if this is like hey, like cause everybody' say,

209
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 8: oh they need a players only meeting. I don't even

210
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 8: know if that's the answer. You know, it's just you

211
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 8: just gotta figure it out. Whether it's more time together

212
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 8: throwing the ball and filling the ball coming off that

213
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 8: quarterback's hands versus this quarterback. You know, it sounds simple

214
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 8: and easy, but again the lack of time together, the

215
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 8: lack of knowing when the ball's coming, is it time

216
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 8: to throw a fastball versus maybe a little change up

217
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 8: like all that little stuff like sometimes like Aaron Jones' drop,

218
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:55,839
Speaker 8: should he catch it?

219
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, but Jaj McCarthy threw the ball way too hard.

220
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,040
Speaker 8: If he times it up and knows I got to

221
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 8: go here because this throw is not here, he throws

222
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 8: it a little sooner and a little bit you know,

223
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 8: more like catchable ball to a running back.

224
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,839
Speaker 2: It just feels like his secondary read or third read.

225
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 8: It's very like last minute, like he's waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting,

226
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 8: and it's like the cover should tell you right away

227
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 8: that throw is not there, you know, like he almost

228
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 8: had a third interception, but the Bears defender killed his

229
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:22,960
Speaker 8: own teammate and hit him, hit his helmet on his elbow,

230
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 8: which is why he let go of the ball like

231
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 8: he had the ball in his hands. He got hit

232
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 8: by his own teammate.

233
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 2: So even that touchdown to Addison was late, yeah, and

234
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,199
Speaker 2: he and it was just right, just wasn't Yeah, it.

235
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 8: Was good body positioning by Addison and Wright kept kind

236
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,719
Speaker 8: of falling forward. So again a fastball there, but a

237
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 8: late throw like it's the deep. But that interception, the

238
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 8: throw should have been earlier to justin Jefferson.

239
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 2: It's like he gets locked in on this.

240
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:46,440
Speaker 8: So again I'm not going to say, like to the

241
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 8: caller's point, I'm not going to say it's the players

242
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:50,960
Speaker 8: not paying attention or not being locked in. I think

243
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 8: they are. I just I just don't really have an

244
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,479
Speaker 8: answer for it. Like, honestly, it's just off, like something's.

245
00:10:56,120 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 3: Off Warren and Saint Paul Warren, Welcome to Vike fan line.

246
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 9: Yeah, the most obvious thing of the whole game, it

247
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 9: was right at the end, how do you kick the

248
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 9: ball to all pro kick returner and just kick it

249
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:13,679
Speaker 9: out of the end zone because there's always a chance

250
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 9: with DuVernay he could he's got big gameplay capabilities. That

251
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 9: was a huge mistake right there, because well when they

252
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 9: had that thirty five instead of where.

253
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 10: They got it.

254
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:28,200
Speaker 9: That's one thing. This is what's happening to the Vikings

255
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 9: right now. It's very similar to when we had those

256
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 9: when we had our bad quarterback play, you know, with

257
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 9: McNab and Ponder and all that. What ends up happening

258
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 9: is when you start, uh, when you're when you got

259
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,319
Speaker 9: openings and stuff, and you don't make those plays. It's

260
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:48,439
Speaker 9: a domino effect not only on your offense, it also

261
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 9: goes to the defense. And I nobody can tell me

262
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 9: that Brozner couldn't make those short throwers. I think they

263
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:58,320
Speaker 9: need to make, you know, what they what they need

264
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 9: to do is set set the rookie court back and say, okay,

265
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:03,839
Speaker 9: you're going to have a game. Just to sit and

266
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 9: relax and calmdly, calm down, and I'd put brows that

267
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 9: are in. You wouldn't have anything to lose at this

268
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 9: pointless season. They're both of the same. Well, he's all

269
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 9: actually older. He wouldn't hurt the team at all, and

270
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 9: I think it would given him uplift. And he was

271
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 9: actually telling JJ out there on the side to be

272
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 9: seeing him talking. He was trying to help him out.

273
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 9: That's the move they should make, and I think that

274
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 9: would be the most feasible thing right now.

275
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 3: Hey, appreciate it, Warren, take care to his original point,

276
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 3: I kind of wish they would have boomed it out

277
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 3: of the end zone. Yeah, So the argument is is

278
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:42,319
Speaker 3: you kill time and you cover correct right now, I'll

279
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:42,959
Speaker 3: turn it to this.

280
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 2: They just get it at the thirty five.

281
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 3: Twenty five ish yards fifty seconds, puts it into gets

282
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 3: it at gets it to the forty. So now we're

283
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 3: talking about a fifty eight yard field goal. Santos had

284
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 3: already missed one thirty five yards. Now we're talking inside

285
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 3: of fifty, right, they have that fifty seconds.

286
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 2: I think he got to kick it out of the

287
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:07,079
Speaker 2: end zone. I do too.

288
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,680
Speaker 8: I just say, like you put the pressure on Kleb

289
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,079
Speaker 8: Wobbs after drive down the field, like you have him

290
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 8: come out there. In the last couple of drives. The

291
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 8: defense had actually been playing really good. Yeah, like the

292
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 8: defense had figured it out, Jalen Redman, Tyron Ingham Dawkins,

293
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:23,960
Speaker 8: like they were getting after the quarterback. Even the sack

294
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:27,680
Speaker 8: by Van Ginkel. It was perfectly played. Like Jalen Redman

295
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 8: got in there. Gink did not lose content. Like the

296
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 8: minute he saw Caleb Williams, he like did not even

297
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 8: keep coming up the field. He went left saying, I

298
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 8: know this guy's going to keep runing to his right.

299
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:41,080
Speaker 8: He played the statistics of here's what Kayler Williams does

300
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 8: when he leaves the pocket, and I think that would

301
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 8: have you know they had him. Now you're forcing him

302
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 8: in to throw a situation because they run the ball.

303
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 8: Now they got to start using those timeouts. You know,

304
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,199
Speaker 8: give up a four or five six yard run. That's

305
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 8: that's not gonna hurt you. It's gonna make the clock running.

306
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 8: You have to call time out. So you know they're

307
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:58,319
Speaker 8: going to be in a passive situation, which that's where

308
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 8: Flores thrives. When he knows they have to pass. That's

309
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:03,439
Speaker 8: when his defense plays the best, and that's why I

310
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 8: would have kicked it.

311
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 2: Out the end zone.

312
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 3: What do you think about the clock management down the

313
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 3: stretch in terms of because it frank left too much

314
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 3: time on the clock. McCarthy's best drive was the don't think,

315
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 3: just go drive when you absolutely had to have it.

316
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 3: I wonder if there's anything to that for the kid,

317
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 3: but at any rate, it's completion, completion, completion. The one

318
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 3: out of bounds, I guess was Naylor on the catch

319
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 3: streaking across. I don't know if he could have potentially

320
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,880
Speaker 3: stayed inbounds. The Bears had two or three timeouts at

321
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 3: this point too, by the way, so not necessarily sure

322
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 3: you could have killed too much additional clock off of it.

323
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 3: But any any thoughts on the on the clock management

324
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 3: towards the end? Yeah, so earlier we need we need

325
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 3: the freaking touchdown.

326
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 8: At the start of the second half, I tweeted out

327
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 8: Jay I was going to try to find the tweet,

328
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 8: but I basically tweeted out that JJ McCarthy needs a

329
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 8: simpler offense, Like.

330
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 2: If somebody wanted to find that post.

331
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 8: Where three Ron Johnson the number three number Ron Johnson

332
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 8: on Twitter? But I tweeted out that JJ McCarthy needs

333
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 8: an up temple offense. It was like in the second half,

334
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 8: and this was before the two minute drive because I

335
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 8: didn't honestly, at that point, I'm like, I don't think

336
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 8: this game is going to come down to the end.

337
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 2: I really didn't. I was like, this, this is bad.

338
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 8: And they found like the Bears found a way to

339
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 8: still give the Vikings a chance. Like it was and

340
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 8: Courtney Cronin said, like, I talked to Courtney and she

341
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 8: said the same thing. She's like, the Bears are going

342
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 8: to find a way to lose this game, and they

343
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 8: almost did, Like they almost found a way to lose

344
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 8: the game, and the Vikings found a better way. And

345
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 8: it was just like it was looking at JAJ McCarthy

346
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 8: with no thought process. Spread the receivers out, the read

347
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 8: becomes the coverage, meaning the minute you see the matchup,

348
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 8: you like, you know they're going to play off coverage.

349
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 8: Here's the throw that was way simpler in my opinion,

350
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 8: for him versus you know you gotta dig, you gotta

351
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 8: out and up like even the again red zone, right,

352
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 8: they run the Aaron Jones little bubble deal whatever off

353
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 8: the backfield. He's running the wheel route. Jajon McCarthy throws

354
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 8: a fireball at his face. He was and just get

355
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 8: it there, like, just throw it to them, like why

356
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 8: are we running that? Why are we running that?

357
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 11: You know?

358
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 8: I think last time it happened with Justin Jefferson, same

359
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 8: type of play will right with Justin Jefferson on need

360
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 8: to pick jj McCarthy fires it in there. Justin Jeferson

361
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 8: gives it a head taken off. Should be a corner

362
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 8: throw up in the air. Let Justin Jefferson out jump

363
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 8: the guy. You know, it seems like there's too much.

364
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 8: Let's trick these guys. Let's get our guys wide open

365
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 8: for a quarterback versus I got the best receiver.

366
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 2: In the world right now in my offense.

367
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 8: If I had, if they had Randy Moss, they would

368
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 8: not be doing these plays, I would hope not. Like

369
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 8: if they had Randy Moss lined up wide to the right,

370
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 8: and if they had Coaston Lovelin, if they had Coaston

371
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 8: Lovelin lined up to the left, They're not doing a

372
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 8: trick play. They're just gonna throw the fade. Like throw

373
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 8: the fade. That's it gets Let's be throw it run

374
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 8: a slant when they are simple.

375
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 2: JJ McCarthy looks really good.

376
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 8: When they are complex, he looks like he can't figure

377
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 8: it out at times.

378
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:58,119
Speaker 3: That's Ron Johnson. I'm Eric Nord Quiz. Vikings lose nineteen seventeen.

379
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 3: A walk off field goal by Cairo santos Uh finishes

380
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 3: off the Vikings, who are now four and six, one

381
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 3: in four at home in twenty twenty five full phone lines.

382
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:11,679
Speaker 3: We're gonna go rapid fire with the calls around the corner.

383
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:15,680
Speaker 3: Vikings fan line continues, This is Minnesota Vikings football.

384
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 2: For Minnesota Sports the leader.

385
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 12: Minnesota Sports Leader is FM one hundred point three, Dan

386
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 12: A Candy rasall the fan.

387
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 13: Hey guys, Dawson from Foston, Minnesota. We're gonna get mad

388
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 13: at JJ for throwing the ball one hundred miles an

389
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:39,680
Speaker 13: hour every single time.

390
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,200
Speaker 2: We had crucial drops play.

391
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:45,920
Speaker 13: After play, Addison for a big hitter, Addison on an

392
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:48,679
Speaker 13: out route to the left side, and then Hockinson on

393
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:50,640
Speaker 13: a big second down when we're trying to go down

394
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 13: and score.

395
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 14: Come on, man, we gotta get it together.

396
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 15: Paul in Southern California, This Viking team needs an enemy.

397
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 15: It's filled with not very smart players and coaching staff.

398
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:07,200
Speaker 15: That cannot rise to the challenge.

399
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:09,679
Speaker 2: They blew it, they gave it away.

400
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 15: They've got soft defense, they've got a multiple drops of receivers.

401
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:19,200
Speaker 15: McCarthy couldn't hit the broadside of a barn. This is

402
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 15: ridiculous time for changes.

403
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 16: Hey guys, why in the hell would we kick that

404
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:29,639
Speaker 16: ball to anybody? Our kicker has the best leg in

405
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 16: the league. Kick it through the end zone doesn't make

406
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 16: any sense. Huge coaching blunder, thank you.

407
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:43,399
Speaker 17: Yep, just another poorly managed game by koc At. His

408
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:49,880
Speaker 17: offense and QB rushing in that final drive. Didn't coach

409
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 17: up as players to stay in bounds. Naylor never should

410
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 17: have ran that ball out of bounds. Should have been

411
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 17: coached up to slide there, to get down and keep

412
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 17: the clock running. Again, poor coaching from the reigning coach

413
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:03,920
Speaker 17: of the year.

414
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 3: Talkback machine Free, iHeartRadio app One more and then we'll

415
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:08,399
Speaker 3: get to the calls.

416
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:11,639
Speaker 18: The way that JJ McCarthy was sailing balls over people's

417
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 18: heads reminded me just like Josh Freeman back in twenty

418
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 18: and thirteen.

419
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 2: Good times.

420
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 18: Fortunately, tanking is going to be pretty easy. All we

421
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 18: got to do is start JJ McCarthy. The rest of

422
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 18: the way, Thanks guys.

423
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:27,359
Speaker 2: Thank you.

424
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 3: Vikings lose today. Nineteen seventeen, the Vikings two and one

425
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,199
Speaker 3: in the division split with the Bears. I suppose in

426
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:37,160
Speaker 3: twenty twenty five, if you want to look for an

427
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:41,119
Speaker 3: optimistic viewpoint to a four and sixteen, that's one in

428
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:45,119
Speaker 3: four at home. Needed this one as in a muddy West,

429
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 3: in a muddy yer NFC North. You needed West, I

430
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 3: mean NFC conference. Excuse me, a muddy North division as well.

431
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:58,680
Speaker 3: Needed a w today didn't get it to the phone lines,

432
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:02,640
Speaker 3: Let's check in with how about Chuck and Iowa? Chuck,

433
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:04,119
Speaker 3: Welcome to Vikings fan line.

434
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:10,440
Speaker 2: Hi, how are you doing good? Thank you?

435
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,160
Speaker 10: Thanks for you there.

436
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 2: Hello, hey Chuck?

437
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 10: Hello, Yes you hear me?

438
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 2: Well what do you what do you got? Chuck?

439
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 10: Can you hear me? Now?

440
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:26,119
Speaker 2: Would I calling? Because?

441
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 19: Uh?

442
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,920
Speaker 11: I'm calling because of uh, you know, Koc has been

443
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 11: numerous for the last three or four years. He's let

444
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 11: the team kind of get away from him from what

445
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:38,920
Speaker 11: I see.

446
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 10: Uh, his his calls on on the field, you know,

447
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 10: third and one, when you're running the ball you know

448
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 10: very well, and then throwing passes. He's not working to

449
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 10: you know. We talk about his time management. We talk

450
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 10: about you know, everything he's doing wrong week after week

451
00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 10: after week after week is a problem, and it's in

452
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:03,920
Speaker 10: a big issue and this team is not going to

453
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:07,359
Speaker 10: go any place with koc. He should turn the play

454
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 10: calling over to West Phillip so that he can actually

455
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 10: work with the quarterback and actually throw short slants to

456
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:19,360
Speaker 10: the quarterback, I mean to the wide receiver so that

457
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 10: he can actually make some plays and get some yards

458
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 10: after catch. This play calling down the field and no

459
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:28,399
Speaker 10: time is creating major problems for that team.

460
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 2: All right, I appreciate it, Chuck, Thank you so much.

461
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,439
Speaker 3: Ron. From a play calling perspective today, you could you

462
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 3: could almost feel where the head coach was like, you

463
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 3: guys want me to run, I'm going to run.

464
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:44,400
Speaker 2: I think Aaron.

465
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 3: Jones had like five carries on that opening drive something

466
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 3: like that. Then he kind of got away from it

467
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:52,400
Speaker 3: again as the game goes on, score line can dictate

468
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:56,119
Speaker 3: some of that. You know, the kid QB was missing

469
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:58,359
Speaker 3: so many wide open people today. I'll admit that I

470
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:04,119
Speaker 3: wasn't digging deeply into situational thought processes in terms of

471
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:06,359
Speaker 3: how the offense was was operating or wasn't.

472
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 2: There was one though.

473
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:10,679
Speaker 3: Where McCarthy the deep ball to Addison that he underthrows,

474
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:14,199
Speaker 3: and then Addison has to become a defensive back to

475
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 3: keep it from being another interception. Yeah, the next that

476
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 3: was a second and two, I believe. And then on

477
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:23,400
Speaker 3: the third and two, the Vikings had run for a

478
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 3: first down on third and two earlier in the game.

479
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 3: May have been like the first one in a McCarthy

480
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:31,879
Speaker 3: game this year. He throws it on third down and

481
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 3: we're punting, and that was I mean, that was kind

482
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 3: of the only moment for me if we're going to

483
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 3: dig into the weeds. Other than that, I think this

484
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 3: the kid needed to hit the open receivers today.

485
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:43,719
Speaker 2: Where are you at with it?

486
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:44,360
Speaker 1: Yeah?

487
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 2: He did.

488
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,359
Speaker 8: And you know, to your point though, looking at the

489
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 8: opening drive you talked about, you got Aaron Jones run,

490
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 8: you got Jajon McCarthy, Aaron Jones again, Jason McCarthy, Adam Theeling,

491
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:00,640
Speaker 8: Aaron Jones again, Jason mc arthy, TJ.

492
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:02,399
Speaker 2: Hockinson, Aaron Jones again.

493
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 8: Incomplete pass, Aaron Jones again, incomplete pass.

494
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:09,200
Speaker 2: So you know, it's just like.

495
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 8: What was the common denominator in between all those incomplete passes?

496
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 2: Productive runs? Productive runs? And you're right.

497
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:22,479
Speaker 7: It's he through the freaking fastball to Aaron Jones on

498
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 7: the fade near side end zone. Yeah, that was the Yeah,

499
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 7: any touch on that thing, and it's six freaking points.

500
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 20: Ron.

501
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:32,440
Speaker 2: Oh and here's the thing about the Bears.

502
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:36,399
Speaker 8: So talking about runs, right, So the Bears run to

503
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 8: run to run to give Caleb Williams not a lot

504
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 8: on his plate. When you look at seven to ten

505
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 8: yard plays gained runs, right, forty three of those before

506
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 8: this game were the Bears. Forty three runs for seven

507
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 8: to ten yards. That was first in the NFL twenty sorry,

508
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:56,440
Speaker 8: ten to twenty yard plays, thirty seven runs, thirty seven

509
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 8: run plays that were twenty to or ten to twenty

510
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:02,680
Speaker 8: yards bear first, you know where the vikings were normal?

511
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:05,680
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm just gonna guess, like towards the bottom, Yeah,

512
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:08,200
Speaker 3: pretty much not good.

513
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:11,439
Speaker 8: And that's that's what is the tough thing, because like

514
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 8: seven to ten yard passes for the Bears, thirty five

515
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:16,399
Speaker 8: that was thirty first, Like, they're not trying to be

516
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:18,919
Speaker 8: explosive in the past game. They're just like, look, Caleb,

517
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 8: you got legs, use them. Hey, our running backs are

518
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 8: really good. Impossible is he to sack by He's tough.

519
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 8: You got twice could have had him saxon time. I

520
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 8: think it was. Was it Tavi or Thomas or one

521
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:33,120
Speaker 8: of them had him like dead to rights, jay War,

522
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 8: Oh my god, dead to rights and just whifted.

523
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 2: He hit them with a spin.

524
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:40,920
Speaker 8: Move circle for all those you know video game kids

525
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 8: out there, hit the circle button on them and just

526
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:46,880
Speaker 8: took off and it was like what like and again

527
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 8: jay Ward did nothing wrong.

528
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 2: Was just really good.

529
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:51,960
Speaker 8: But going back to what we talked about with the

530
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 8: run game, I don't know why he went away from it,

531
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 8: Like in a low scoring game like this where just

532
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:01,359
Speaker 8: a little bit of a auction wins the game, yep,

533
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,920
Speaker 8: be patient, like just be patient, just say hey, look,

534
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 8: let's Aaron Jones is going, Jordan Mason's going. He finally

535
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 8: at the end, like I think Sandra Bullet called him

536
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 8: at the end of the game and said, just run

537
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 8: the ball. Stop it all the trick plays in the

538
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 8: red zone. Run the dang ball, because he ran it

539
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 8: with Jordan Mason, and Jordan Mason scored a touchdown and

540
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:21,879
Speaker 8: the crowd was like going wild, like they could not

541
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,680
Speaker 8: believe they ran the ball in the red zone because everybody.

542
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 2: Wasn't that only two plays on that drive.

543
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 3: By the way, both Jordan Mason has long return Mason

544
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:29,440
Speaker 3: for nine will sell.

545
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:32,160
Speaker 2: So that's a Miles price. Give Miles price that touchdown.

546
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,439
Speaker 2: It was a Miles price. There was a Miles Price drive.

547
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 8: And then again most of the time, after a big play,

548
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:42,199
Speaker 8: you know, you think, okay, we got we gotta strike here, explosive.

549
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 2: Let's let's throw it to the end zone.

550
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 8: Because that's Kevin O'Connell, right, Yeah, three straight passes and

551
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 8: everybody's like, what are we doing? No, he ran the

552
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:50,639
Speaker 8: ball and he got a touchdown out of it. But

553
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:52,879
Speaker 8: then it go like why not do that?

554
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:55,200
Speaker 2: Early on? You know, it was working, like you said

555
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 2: that first drive, it's working.

556
00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:59,440
Speaker 8: It's like playing John Madden if you if the run

557
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 8: is working and this kid whoever's on the sticks can't

558
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,480
Speaker 8: can't stop the run, why would I stop it? Why

559
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 8: would And if my quarterback is just throwing the ball

560
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:09,680
Speaker 8: all over place, my receivers aren't making the tough catches

561
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 8: for him, and the easy catches either. Yeah, maybe just

562
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 8: run the ball a little bit because then that makes

563
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 8: play the action a little more viable. Like you can't

564
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 8: run play action if you're not going to continue to

565
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:19,960
Speaker 8: run the ball, and that's that was the only strange

566
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:20,359
Speaker 8: thing for me.

567
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 3: One more call and then we paused. Dan and Austin Dan,

568
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 3: Welcome to Vikings fan line.

569
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 2: At duper Cala.

570
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 21: Fred Delicious absolutely got less.

571
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:33,880
Speaker 1: I can't sing.

572
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:39,159
Speaker 21: This team cannot play football. JJM was tough today, but

573
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 21: I helped the kid out. How many drop passes did

574
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 21: we have? The defense was okay, but almost to a man,

575
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:50,719
Speaker 21: this was an indictment of the entire organization. We have

576
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 21: to turn it around. There's too much to talk about.

577
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:54,919
Speaker 21: I'll hang up and listen.

578
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 8: Man, he was so close to a bar, like that

579
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 8: was almost a bar because it's super kinds of fragilistic

580
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:06,000
Speaker 8: xbil adocious, So he should have said something almost atrocious,

581
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 8: like its completely atrocious.

582
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:12,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, see it runs. He's close. He was so close

583
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 2: to a bar. No, I appreciate that. And there's not

584
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 2: much to argue, like make like a tree and get

585
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 2: out of here. Uh.

586
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:20,720
Speaker 3: Maybe next week we're at Lambeau, so we'll see what happens.

587
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 2: But Dan, I'm giving you a week. I'm giving you

588
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:23,440
Speaker 2: an assignment.

589
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 3: Come up a new bit for next week, because my goodness,

590
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:30,160
Speaker 3: is this thing getting hard.

591
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 8: To break down. Was Jordan Love going to be out though,

592
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:35,359
Speaker 8: as Malik William Willis went in. I don't know if

593
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:37,639
Speaker 8: he ever came back, but Malik Willis went in for him. Well,

594
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:39,120
Speaker 8: I saw Jacobs was ruled out.

595
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 2: I didn't. I didn't see the Jordan Love thing. So

596
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:41,679
Speaker 2: he's out.

597
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 8: Yeah, he was out for a little bit. I don't

598
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:44,320
Speaker 8: know if he came back. Me and Rosie saw him

599
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 8: go out.

600
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 3: I'm out of the loop on that. And we're gonna

601
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 3: catch up because we're gonna pause. Vikings fan line nineteen

602
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 3: to seventeen. Vikings fall to the Bears teams four and six.

603
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:55,399
Speaker 3: They're one and four at home. It's negative Lambeau on

604
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 3: the horizon. We're going to continue to break this thing

605
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 3: down Vikings fan line style. This is Minnesota Vikings football.

606
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 12: The audio home for the Vikings, Wild, Timberwolves, and Gophers

607
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 12: in Minnesota's home for sports is iHeartRadio and f M

608
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 12: one hundred point three.

609
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 2: Like said Minneapolis Saint Paul the.

610
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:18,679
Speaker 22: Fan Christopher Saint Paul here, I think this team is

611
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:25,520
Speaker 22: out of sync with coaching, with quarterback play, with receiver awareness,

612
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:30,119
Speaker 22: and with special teams. If we could be all in

613
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 22: sync at the same time, I think we could be

614
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:35,440
Speaker 22: a really good team, but right now they're just out

615
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:35,920
Speaker 22: of sync.

616
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 2: They need to sync up.

617
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 22: We need to catch balls when they're thrown well and

618
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:44,480
Speaker 22: throw balls when they're in the position to catch them.

619
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:49,280
Speaker 3: Think, so, everything's bad and if everything was better, the

620
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 3: team would be better.

621
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 23: Well stated, Yeah, I don't care what anyone says, guys,

622
00:28:56,320 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 23: season's over. Oh as a Viking fan, I don't know

623
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:04,720
Speaker 23: how I feel about what the next couple of years

624
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:06,720
Speaker 23: are going to look like. To me, it's just going

625
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:11,720
Speaker 23: to look like a slog. And hopefully he's something better

626
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 23: than dare I say Christian.

627
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 3: Ponder Deep Freeman references Ponder.

628
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 24: KOs coached again he needs to adjust his offense for

629
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 24: his quarterback and why didn't he kick the ball out

630
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 24: of the end zone with less than a minute to

631
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 24: go in the game and let your defense win the game?

632
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 2: Disappointing, very disappointing.

633
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 25: This might be the first time I've ever said this

634
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 25: as a Vikings fan, but I'm glad that we lost

635
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 25: that game and didn't just snatch it at the end there,

636
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 25: because it would have delayed the inevitable. Living this lie

637
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 25: with JJ McCarthy as our franchise quarterback. He's not NFL ready.

638
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 25: He's injured people with his throws on offense and defense.

639
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:06,440
Speaker 25: He's disappointing fans, teammates.

640
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 2: I see, we need to bench him. This is it.

641
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 2: I've had enough. Talkbacks are fun, talkbacks are flying.

642
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 3: This is Minnesota Vikings fan line. The Vikings lose by

643
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 3: a couple nineteen to seventeen is the final, final, second

644
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 3: field goal for Cairo Santos gives them the lead in

645
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:28,160
Speaker 3: the W and they're seven and three. That's one of

646
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 3: those like I've heard of, like a lot of out

647
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 3: of sync And are we undisciplined? Do we lack focus?

648
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 21: Hey?

649
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 3: Ten weeks into the season, what is our identity? Well,

650
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:39,640
Speaker 3: our identity is that we're undisciplined. We make mistakes, and

651
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 3: a team like the Bears who've been really good at

652
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 3: capitalizing on those mistakes. Man, they've only played teams, you know,

653
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 3: they're six victories fifteen forty one and one. The collective

654
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 3: record of the of the six teams they've beaten. Well,

655
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 3: they're now seven and three because we keep making mistakes

656
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 3: and the Bears took advantage of them. Ron Johnson's here

657
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 3: on Nordo to the phone lines Chase in Henning, Chase,

658
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 3: Welcome to Vikings fan line.

659
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:06,480
Speaker 10: Hey Ron, he Eric.

660
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 26: Thankful that we have you after it doesn't matter how

661
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:12,720
Speaker 26: deep we get put on Sunday, I'm thankful that we

662
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 26: have you guys.

663
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 14: To put some lighty cane on the wound.

664
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 26: And it's mostly been covered. But I just want to

665
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 26: see JJ start having fun. I look at him in college.

666
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 26: I've watched a lot of film, and I watch him

667
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 26: having fun. And I know that there's a lot of

668
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:30,560
Speaker 26: moving parts and everything else, but it seems like a

669
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 26: lot of the overthrows, a lot of the double clutching

670
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 26: and the mistakes he's making, he's just not I don't

671
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 26: see him having fun at all. And I think until

672
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 26: he starts having fun and he has that connection with

673
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 26: his receivers where he's just out there playing ball, I

674
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 26: don't think we're gonna win very many games at all.

675
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:51,240
Speaker 9: And yeah, I don't know what the solution is.

676
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:52,480
Speaker 26: I'll leave that up to you guys.

677
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 20: But what can we do?

678
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:55,000
Speaker 27: What can the coaches do?

679
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 26: What can the players around him do to help JJ

680
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:01,640
Speaker 26: start just playing football and just having fun and stop

681
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:03,960
Speaker 26: worrying about.

682
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:05,800
Speaker 2: All the noise, What the media the people are.

683
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:08,000
Speaker 26: Going to say and just start playing ball. Thank you,

684
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 26: all shut up and all listen, thank you.

685
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, thank you.

686
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 3: It's difficult without being in the mind of JJ McCarthy

687
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:17,120
Speaker 3: to know how much of that plays into it from

688
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:18,200
Speaker 3: a mental standpoint.

689
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:20,560
Speaker 2: Clearly, there are some functionals.

690
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 3: Some some just straight to the fundamental side of things

691
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 3: that aren't working. So whether it's processing some of the

692
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 3: decision making again, the lack of touch on the ball

693
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:33,080
Speaker 3: is creating an issue in some spots.

694
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 2: Better, I mean, he said at the podium, might just

695
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:36,640
Speaker 2: be better. He just was on the podium. He said.

696
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:39,480
Speaker 8: He also to improve his performance. He said, I gotta

697
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:42,160
Speaker 8: do better, period, Like he knows he has to do better. Absolutely,

698
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:45,280
Speaker 8: Greg and Mound. Greg, welcome to Vikings fanline.

699
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 28: Hey, hey, you guys doing doing good. Thank you, You're welcome.

700
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 28: I'm a super fan, right and you know, the main

701
00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:01,320
Speaker 28: reason I watch the games is a nice food spread,

702
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:05,320
Speaker 28: and you know, barbecue ribs and some meatballs and some

703
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:07,240
Speaker 28: cheese and crackers and all that kind of stuff.

704
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:07,760
Speaker 2: Anything else.

705
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:12,720
Speaker 29: My question is, well, you know, some bread, some crackers,

706
00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:17,240
Speaker 29: some you know, nacho cheese. You know, I got it going. Well,

707
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:20,719
Speaker 29: My question is and again I'm asking a professional football

708
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:24,840
Speaker 29: player because I have no idea is the yips a

709
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 29: real thing for quarterbacks or not?

710
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 2: Oh, I appreciate the question and the call. Greg. Yeah,

711
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:32,400
Speaker 2: I mean I can't lie.

712
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:34,240
Speaker 8: I mean i'd say, yeah, I don't think it's the yips,

713
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:36,720
Speaker 8: but yeah, I think the yips are just confidence, right.

714
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:40,120
Speaker 8: So what was the guy from a major league the catcher? Remember,

715
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:41,880
Speaker 8: he couldn't throw the ball back to the pitcher, and

716
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 8: he had to like recite Playboy, you know, the articles

717
00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:47,760
Speaker 8: in Playboy or whatever like you know, or the attributes

718
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 8: you know, like long walks. I was wondering when the

719
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 8: movie reference would count here, you know, like likes long walks,

720
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:54,640
Speaker 8: you know, and then he's throwing perfect You know, I'm

721
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:58,280
Speaker 8: not saying Jay McCarthy needs to go memorize Playboy magazine

722
00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:02,520
Speaker 8: like attributes, but he's got to come up with something

723
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:05,360
Speaker 8: to calm him down. And there could be a lot

724
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:07,200
Speaker 8: going on in his headset. You know, who knows what

725
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:10,040
Speaker 8: that looks like. Because I wonder what Hardball was saying

726
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:13,479
Speaker 8: to him, or Connor Stallions versus what you know, Kevin

727
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:15,600
Speaker 8: O'Connell's saying to him, you know, is it like, is

728
00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:18,880
Speaker 8: it too much information because at Michigan there wasn't a

729
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 8: lot of information to be given. It was basically, look,

730
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 8: we know this coverage, we know the front, we have

731
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:25,719
Speaker 8: the best running backs in the country. We're gonna run

732
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:27,839
Speaker 8: the ball, and then when you throw the ball, Hey,

733
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:32,480
Speaker 8: you got Coleson Lovelin, you got Roman Wilson, Like, just

734
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:33,319
Speaker 8: drive it in there.

735
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:35,800
Speaker 2: And he made a lot of easy throws in college.

736
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:38,520
Speaker 8: I just feel like right now he might be overthinking

737
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:40,839
Speaker 8: it because every time he throws it to the secondary route,

738
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:43,560
Speaker 8: meaning like the trick play guy, he just goes to

739
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:45,480
Speaker 8: the trick play guy, Like he doesn't look at the

740
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:47,799
Speaker 8: entire play. Like some of those throws, if you see

741
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:49,520
Speaker 8: the safety over the top, you don't make the throw.

742
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 8: So that's why I'm wonder where his head is. And

743
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:54,279
Speaker 8: the Gophers shout out to the Gophers for this not

744
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:56,880
Speaker 8: the game, but what they did in training camp with

745
00:34:56,960 --> 00:35:00,920
Speaker 8: Drake Lindsay is they put a GoPro Greg Harbot GoPro

746
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:04,480
Speaker 8: on the quarterback's helmet because he wanted to see where's

747
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:06,840
Speaker 8: the quarterback's eyes so he can go back and watch

748
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:09,879
Speaker 8: the play in practice, watch the throw and see where

749
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:12,040
Speaker 8: was he looking on this? So if he threw it late,

750
00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:13,520
Speaker 8: or if you threw an interception, or if he threw

751
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:15,839
Speaker 8: it high, Like are you looking at what I tell

752
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 8: you to look at, which is look at the safety,

753
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:18,960
Speaker 8: Come down to the flat route, Look at the flat route,

754
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:21,600
Speaker 8: go up to this. You know the choice routes said

755
00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:23,440
Speaker 8: they worked well, but there wasn't a ton of them.

756
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:25,799
Speaker 8: Run you know that used to be Kevin O'Connell's bread

757
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:27,880
Speaker 8: and butter, the choice routes off the slide. We're not

758
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:30,239
Speaker 8: seeing a lot of that. I don't know what's going

759
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:32,000
Speaker 8: on with this offense, but it needs to be more

760
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:36,120
Speaker 8: horizontal and less vertical like Oregon. If you watch the

761
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:39,600
Speaker 8: Oregon game, I don't know if you did awesome horizontal

762
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:42,359
Speaker 8: offense and then when it's time to strike, they got

763
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:45,239
Speaker 8: two gigantic tight ends. They will strike down the scene.

764
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:48,040
Speaker 2: With you gotta set up, but you got to set

765
00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:49,920
Speaker 2: up the sideline. The sideline first.

766
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:51,959
Speaker 8: Make the six yard throw, make the four yard throw,

767
00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:55,480
Speaker 8: like be okay with the short throws. It's okay to

768
00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 8: go nineteen for nineteen and not throw the ball further

769
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:01,239
Speaker 8: than ten yards like golf did that a lot last

770
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:03,280
Speaker 8: year and nobody was complaining.

771
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:08,400
Speaker 3: To the phone lines Nathan and Jan Hassen. Nathan, Welcome

00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:26,200
Speaker 19: and our guys are big and they move well. I

778
00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:28,600
Speaker 19: would have loved to see like a power oh or

779
00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:31,399
Speaker 19: some type of you know, like stretch left there, just

780
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:33,600
Speaker 19: just some type of run to chew the clock and

781
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:36,160
Speaker 19: to set up a bit of a better pitch. And

782
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:37,880
Speaker 19: I want the clock to be more of a focus

783
00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:40,120
Speaker 19: for KOC at the end of that game, especially with

784
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:42,280
Speaker 19: today's kick rules, right, you get it at the thirty

785
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 19: five they need to go twenty five yards with a

786
00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:46,319
Speaker 19: lot of weapons. I would have loved to see that

787
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:47,440
Speaker 19: fifty seconds used.

788
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:47,879
Speaker 11: A little more.

789
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:49,560
Speaker 19: And I know, you know, you never want to knock

790
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:51,719
Speaker 19: on a touchdown, but just we were running the ball

791
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:53,560
Speaker 19: well and you have already said, you know, we went

792
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:55,440
Speaker 19: away from the run. I want to see the run

793
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:57,000
Speaker 19: come back and the clock be a factor there.

794
00:36:57,040 --> 00:37:00,000
Speaker 3: Thanks guys, Yeah, thank you, I appreciate it, I will

795
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:03,200
Speaker 3: say in their victories this year. I think the Vikings

796
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 3: average twenty six twenty seven rushing attempts in their losses,

797
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:08,840
Speaker 3: it's eighteen. I think they had twenty two or twenty

798
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:11,839
Speaker 3: three totes today. There was an early emphasis and they

799
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:15,200
Speaker 3: got away with it. But yeah, to Nathan's point, earlier,

800
00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:18,120
Speaker 3: we did kind of talk about it. Just now they

801
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:21,880
Speaker 3: have timeouts. I don't know how much time the Vikings.

802
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:25,239
Speaker 3: You just can't get too cute in that spot. You

803
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:29,640
Speaker 3: need six points. I wouldn't have minded a run in

804
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:32,440
Speaker 3: that spot. But again, you're you're taking timeouts. This is

805
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:36,040
Speaker 3: also we're looking back in hindsight. We got the kick return.

806
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 3: Do we take timeouts? Do we then kick it out

807
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:41,360
Speaker 3: of the end zone? And then now they're at the

808
00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:43,719
Speaker 3: thirty five with fifty seconds and no, you can kind

809
00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:46,120
Speaker 3: of play, you know, the ripple effect of maybe a

810
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:49,279
Speaker 3: different decision in this Choose your Own Adventure novel that

811
00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:51,799
Speaker 3: has us dropping off of cliffs left and right. With

812
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:56,680
Speaker 3: this four and six record, But no, I thought there

813
00:37:56,719 --> 00:37:58,200
Speaker 3: was a better in totality.

814
00:37:58,280 --> 00:37:59,960
Speaker 2: I thought there was a better focus on the run

815
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:00,799
Speaker 2: than there had been.

816
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:03,399
Speaker 8: There's some quarterbacks though, that you play against that you're

817
00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:05,960
Speaker 8: thinking as an offensive coordinator. I can't leave too much

818
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:09,360
Speaker 8: time on the clock, right Tom Brady, Drew brees Kechrick

819
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:12,120
Speaker 8: mahomes See. I don't think Kayla Williams is. I mean, now,

820
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:14,640
Speaker 8: he has had some cardiac moments this year, like they've

821
00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:16,520
Speaker 8: they've come from behind a lot this year. He won,

822
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:19,759
Speaker 8: But I don't think Caleb Williams has earned that where

823
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:23,480
Speaker 8: offensive coordinators or head coaches are thinking, oh, he's just

824
00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:25,280
Speaker 8: left too much time on the clock for Kayler Williams.

825
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 2: By the way, how no Chicago.

826
00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:30,160
Speaker 3: Though, and it's going to be obnoxious because they are

827
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:32,799
Speaker 3: the Bears in their arrival, but they did get that

828
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:36,080
Speaker 3: Colston Lovelin bouncing off of safety against the Browns for

829
00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:36,759
Speaker 3: the long TD.

830
00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 2: Yep, he almost got again today.

831
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:41,400
Speaker 3: And then you had him running for the late TD

832
00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:44,200
Speaker 3: after the Giants punter. I mean they had to put

833
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:46,319
Speaker 3: Russell Wilson in the game. I mean the Giants are

834
00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:49,480
Speaker 3: just cooked. But they get the ball at midfield and

835
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:52,120
Speaker 3: like a minute fifty or something and Caleb runs in

836
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:53,960
Speaker 3: the late TD to take the lead. Now they get

837
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:57,560
Speaker 3: the walk off field goal today. You know, obnoxious to

838
00:38:57,719 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 3: clutch related conversations. Oh yeah, goodness, Well, let's pause and

839
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:05,480
Speaker 3: let's let's regroup.

840
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:07,919
Speaker 2: Because fan line continues. The team's four and six.

841
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:10,919
Speaker 3: They can't win at home, which is frustrating to say

842
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:11,320
Speaker 3: the least.

843
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:12,560
Speaker 2: Next up for them is Lambeau.

844
00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:15,560
Speaker 3: But the Vikings at four and six, one and four

845
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:18,880
Speaker 3: at home, they lose to the Bears today nineteen to seventeen.

846
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:20,839
Speaker 3: I got full phone lines. I got a bunch more

847
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:24,080
Speaker 3: talkbacks to play as we continue Vikings fan Line. This

848
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 3: is Kfan and the Minnesota Vikings Audio Network.

849
00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:34,959
Speaker 12: Your home for all things Purple M one hundred point

850
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:37,480
Speaker 12: three ks AN the fan.

851
00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:46,799
Speaker 30: Than today you guys calling in from Washington, DC. To

852
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:50,440
Speaker 30: be completely honest, my take on this game is JJ

853
00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:53,439
Speaker 30: McCarthy just needs to make throws. I think everyone calling

854
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:57,080
Speaker 30: in here's overcomplicating it. If we make those first few

855
00:39:57,160 --> 00:39:58,280
Speaker 30: throws on the first drive.

856
00:39:58,120 --> 00:39:59,359
Speaker 2: It's a completely different game.

857
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:05,440
Speaker 31: No one to blame but JJ on this one.

858
00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:08,759
Speaker 3: A couple of double digit scoring drives allowed by the defense,

859
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:11,600
Speaker 3: special teams, gaffes and penalties.

860
00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:12,880
Speaker 2: Et cetera. Well, actually just too today.

861
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:14,640
Speaker 3: I don't know if we can put it all on

862
00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 3: number nine, but I get where you're going with that

863
00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:22,719
Speaker 3: awful performance in totality. Sands that final drive by the quarterback.

864
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:25,520
Speaker 2: Afternoon Gentlemen Jr. And Portland, Oregon.

865
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:28,840
Speaker 32: Hey, I realized it's a loss, and we knew that

866
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:30,200
Speaker 32: we were going to go through a lot of this

867
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:33,680
Speaker 32: with JJ this year. But you know, my beef isn't

868
00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:35,040
Speaker 32: with what's going on in the offense.

869
00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:38,040
Speaker 2: Is not going on with the defense. It's our special teams.

870
00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:40,839
Speaker 2: They have consistently underperformed this year.

871
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:44,440
Speaker 32: And while I've seen definite improvements in the offensive line

872
00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:47,000
Speaker 32: and tells me the coach is going well, I think

873
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:49,000
Speaker 32: it's time for us to seriously consider.

874
00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:53,319
Speaker 2: Finding a new special teams coach. Thanks, you're rid of

875
00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:54,359
Speaker 2: mister Daniels.

876
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:59,319
Speaker 33: The rest of this season is for Cardio, but there's

877
00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:02,320
Speaker 33: hope for next year. We'll have a last play schedule,

878
00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:07,319
Speaker 33: nine home games, hopefully not a West Coast Thursday night game.

879
00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:13,560
Speaker 33: Hopefully JJ is significantly better in year two. We still

880
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:17,319
Speaker 33: have a lot of good players. Hopefully Quakey can nail

881
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:18,279
Speaker 33: a draft.

882
00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:25,480
Speaker 2: And away we go. Hey, guys, Jake from Mapleton.

883
00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:27,000
Speaker 34: The biggest problem.

884
00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:29,520
Speaker 26: Is Quazy the drafting ability.

885
00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:34,040
Speaker 33: We haven't brought anyone in that can replace some of

886
00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:37,440
Speaker 33: these older guys, and that's gonna be an issue.

887
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:40,239
Speaker 2: Going forward, sorry, rearing and something ahead right now.

888
00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:44,040
Speaker 6: Injuries early in the season hasn't helped much, but the

889
00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:45,680
Speaker 6: depth is really.

890
00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:48,960
Speaker 2: Starting to show itself and lack thereof. So thanks a.

891
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:54,640
Speaker 3: Lot, Thank you all talkbackers, Free iHeartRadio app Devin and

892
00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:58,120
Speaker 3: Indie Devin, Welcome to Vikings fan line.

893
00:41:58,840 --> 00:41:59,839
Speaker 27: Hey, thanks to breaking my call.

894
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:00,520
Speaker 1: Appreciate it.

895
00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:02,000
Speaker 2: Thank you.

896
00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:07,840
Speaker 27: Yeah, lifelong Minnesota Vikings fans sat and watched Super Bowls eight, nine,

897
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:11,600
Speaker 27: and eleven as a young fellaw and don't claim to

898
00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:16,120
Speaker 27: be an expert, but this is my team, and you know,

899
00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:18,840
Speaker 27: as far as I see, as far as KOC is concerned,

900
00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:23,200
Speaker 27: it's Kirk Cousins coaching my beloved Minnesota Vikings, and hopefully

901
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:25,960
Speaker 27: it doesn't take six years to figure out that the

902
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:28,640
Speaker 27: Vikings are not going to go anywhere the KOC as

903
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:32,239
Speaker 27: a coach. Jay Mackin is who the football people said

904
00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:35,840
Speaker 27: he was. He throws those those fireballs all over the place.

905
00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:39,880
Speaker 27: He wasn't worth the first round pick, and the Vikings

906
00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:42,719
Speaker 27: did an extreme disservice not getting hardball.

907
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:44,280
Speaker 2: That's the head coach.

908
00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:45,840
Speaker 27: That's all I got.

909
00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:47,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I appreciate it, Devin.

910
00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:50,680
Speaker 3: Thank you, Mark and Breezy Point Mark, Welcome to Vikings

911
00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:51,160
Speaker 3: fan line.

912
00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:53,680
Speaker 29: How you doing.

913
00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:58,240
Speaker 35: Thank you for the call. I'm Mark from Breezy Point.

914
00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:00,839
Speaker 35: I just want to say that we need to stick

915
00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:02,080
Speaker 35: with JJ McCarthy.

916
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:05,200
Speaker 29: Kaos is a great coach and it's going to take

917
00:43:05,239 --> 00:43:05,720
Speaker 29: some time.

918
00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:10,319
Speaker 35: And I've lived in Colorado for twenty years and John

919
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:13,480
Speaker 35: Elway was coming up the same way that this young

920
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:16,839
Speaker 35: man is. This young man has a lot of winning attitude.

921
00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:20,319
Speaker 35: We need to keep him and goal with this. This

922
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:20,960
Speaker 35: is our team.

923
00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:24,400
Speaker 29: We need to go with him. He will succeed.

924
00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:27,279
Speaker 35: I guarantee you that, That's all I got to say.

925
00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:28,880
Speaker 2: I appreciate him.

926
00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:29,120
Speaker 1: Mark.

927
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:32,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, one guy get rid of Ko should add Arba.

928
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:35,000
Speaker 3: Next guy's like Chao's terrific.

929
00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:40,160
Speaker 2: I love it. Mike and Orlando. Mike, Welcome to Vikings

930
00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:40,640
Speaker 2: fan Line.

931
00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:45,800
Speaker 36: Hey, I'm kind of going in between those two last calls.

932
00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:47,600
Speaker 36: I mean I think that I think the.

933
00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:48,359
Speaker 27: Season is over.

934
00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:49,560
Speaker 29: I think with two games.

935
00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:51,920
Speaker 36: Against Green Bay, you've got a game against Detroit, a

936
00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:54,239
Speaker 36: game at Seattle, a game at New York, a game

937
00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:57,680
Speaker 36: in Dallas, you do play the Commanders at home. I mean,

938
00:43:57,800 --> 00:44:00,480
Speaker 36: the one or two losses are absolutely there, and that

939
00:44:00,520 --> 00:44:02,839
Speaker 36: gets you, you know, the seven to eight losses. But well,

940
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:04,960
Speaker 36: I don't want to scare any fans, and I was

941
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:07,359
Speaker 36: actually a big proponent of this guy. He wasn't given

942
00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:11,319
Speaker 36: a fair shot. I want to give you some statistics

943
00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:14,879
Speaker 36: on Tim Tebow through his first eighty two attempt threw

944
00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:18,759
Speaker 36: for six hundred and fifty four yards, five touchdowns, three interceptions,

945
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:21,920
Speaker 36: with a quarterback rating of eighty two point one. Prior

946
00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:25,040
Speaker 36: to today's performance, one hundred and eight attempts for JJ

947
00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:29,960
Speaker 36: McCarthy six hundred and ninety three yards, five touchdowns, six interceptions,

948
00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:33,280
Speaker 36: quarterback rating of sixty five point eight with an average

949
00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:37,520
Speaker 36: attempt or an average completion yardage of six point four compared.

950
00:44:37,200 --> 00:44:38,160
Speaker 10: To Chiebo's eight.

951
00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:42,799
Speaker 36: Now, I'm just saying that we do need to give

952
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:44,000
Speaker 36: McCarthy a fair shot.

953
00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:45,840
Speaker 27: Tibo was never given a fair shot.

954
00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:50,160
Speaker 36: So I'm glad that this season does look like it's

955
00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:53,520
Speaker 36: offer because JJ. There's no reason to make any other

956
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:56,040
Speaker 36: move but to stick with JJ at quarterback and let's

957
00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:59,440
Speaker 36: see what happens. As far as KOs is concerned, I'm

958
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:02,320
Speaker 36: quite amb erevalent. I'm a little bit frustrated with this season,

959
00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:05,480
Speaker 36: and you know, he's not going anywhere in the offseason.

960
00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:09,799
Speaker 36: We lost every game from here on out. But I'm

961
00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:12,880
Speaker 36: ambivalent right now. I'm a little bit numb after today's performance.

962
00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:16,040
Speaker 36: To be honest, I take a t bow comparison. Obviously

963
00:45:16,080 --> 00:45:18,919
Speaker 36: different quarterbacks, but just want to remind somebody of where

964
00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:19,239
Speaker 36: we are.

965
00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:23,240
Speaker 3: No, I appreciate, I appreciate the call and the perspective. Yes,

966
00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:26,360
Speaker 3: very different qbs, but all in the same in the

967
00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:28,600
Speaker 3: same vein. And I'm not disagreeing with this and this

968
00:45:29,239 --> 00:45:31,759
Speaker 3: even today, sixteen to thirty two, a buck fifty two

969
00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:36,560
Speaker 3: picks and he's late, he's getting hit on the Bayered interception.

970
00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:39,560
Speaker 3: I just think it's a putrid throw on the pick

971
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:41,000
Speaker 3: was Nashaun Wright?

972
00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:43,000
Speaker 2: I mean, Nashaun Wright.

973
00:45:43,239 --> 00:45:46,680
Speaker 3: Is only playing because fifty members of the secondary it

974
00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:48,440
Speaker 3: feels like in Chicago are injured.

975
00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:49,600
Speaker 2: And he's got a pick.

976
00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:51,520
Speaker 3: He's got two interceptions, and one of them he took

977
00:45:51,560 --> 00:45:54,759
Speaker 3: back to the house on JJ McCarthy. It's insane, but

978
00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:56,719
Speaker 3: I appreciate the calls. Here's what we're going to do

979
00:45:57,160 --> 00:46:00,759
Speaker 3: is we are working your way towards wild hockey. It's

980
00:46:00,840 --> 00:46:04,200
Speaker 3: kind of a two topics Sunday in fact, so five

981
00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:07,239
Speaker 3: o'clock we're going to jump in the Minnesota Wild who

982
00:46:07,560 --> 00:46:11,120
Speaker 3: got a shutout with mister Valstead. They are hosting the

983
00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:13,880
Speaker 3: Golden Knights. That's at five PM. So we still have

984
00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:16,120
Speaker 3: several segments of fan line to go before we get

985
00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:18,280
Speaker 3: you to hockey, but we are going to say goodbye

986
00:46:18,320 --> 00:46:21,080

Speaker 3: division game, but this time it's on the road. The

989
00:46:26,440 --> 00:46:30,000
Speaker 3: four and six Vikings are traveling to lambeau Field. That

990
00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:32,680
Speaker 3: is right from battering the Bears. We didn't get it

991
00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:36,959
Speaker 3: done today, so hopefully winning the border battle against green Bay.

992
00:46:37,239 --> 00:46:39,920
Speaker 3: We're going to cover this with sad Montaging at nine,

Speaker 2: Welcome to Vikings fan Line.

1014
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:03,800
Speaker 3: A half hour of Vikings conversation before puck drop. Minnesota Wild

1015
00:48:03,920 --> 00:48:08,840
Speaker 3: hosting the Vegas Golden Nights and Vikings lose today, hoping

1016
00:48:09,080 --> 00:48:11,799
Speaker 3: the hockey team gets two points and maybe that we

1017
00:48:11,840 --> 00:48:13,680
Speaker 3: can end the day on a positive note because the

1018
00:48:13,800 --> 00:48:16,359
Speaker 3: Vikings are now four and six. The Vikings are now

1019
00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:18,960
Speaker 3: one and four at us Bank Stadium this season, so

1020
00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:20,360
Speaker 3: they're not defending home turf.

1021
00:48:20,840 --> 00:48:23,880
Speaker 2: They just lost the division game. That hurts you make.

1022
00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:30,120
Speaker 3: The drive to go ahead late after I mean dismal, irritating,

1023
00:48:31,400 --> 00:48:34,279
Speaker 3: You can insert your own adjectives. I think in terms

1024
00:48:34,320 --> 00:48:36,680
Speaker 3: of the performance of the offense for the three and

1025
00:48:36,760 --> 00:48:39,080
Speaker 3: a half quarters leading up to that go ahead drive,

1026
00:48:39,840 --> 00:48:43,399
Speaker 3: But nineteen seventeen is the final after a long kick

1027
00:48:43,400 --> 00:48:46,360
Speaker 3: return and then a field goal by Cairo Santos.

1028
00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:48,200
Speaker 2: Ron Johnson's here on Nordo.

1029
00:48:48,760 --> 00:48:53,000
Speaker 3: Free iHeartRadio app talkback feature Let's hammer out a few

1030
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:56,279
Speaker 3: here talkbacks via the iHeartRadio app Let's go.

1031
00:48:57,600 --> 00:49:01,520
Speaker 34: All right, Vikings fans, All right, it's Jeff and Saint Paul.

1032
00:49:01,680 --> 00:49:06,000
Speaker 2: Hey, Jeff Bears fan here. Oh but I live in

1033
00:49:06,040 --> 00:49:06,560
Speaker 2: Saint Paul.

1034
00:49:06,680 --> 00:49:08,719
Speaker 34: Now I like that, so I listened to a lot

1035
00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:11,960
Speaker 34: of k fan and pull for the Vikings when they're

1036
00:49:11,960 --> 00:49:16,320
Speaker 34: not playing the Bears. First of all, Okay, shouldn't have

1037
00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:19,640
Speaker 34: kicked us a ball? Yeah, fifty seconds, way too much

1038
00:49:19,719 --> 00:49:22,759
Speaker 34: time left. Bears have been finding a way to not

1039
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:26,840
Speaker 34: Bears things up this year. I know you, Vikings fan.

1040
00:49:28,719 --> 00:49:31,560
Speaker 3: Up two thirty seconds, Jeff appreciate. By the way, I

1041
00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:34,720
Speaker 3: just have to be honest. For instance, if I lived

1042
00:49:34,719 --> 00:49:39,080
Speaker 3: in Chicago, Jeff, you are much more mature and even

1043
00:49:39,160 --> 00:49:40,840
Speaker 3: handed than I am. Because if I lived in the

1044
00:49:40,920 --> 00:49:43,520
Speaker 3: Chicago Land area and I had to listen to the

1045
00:49:43,520 --> 00:49:47,399
Speaker 3: score or listen to WBBM or whatever, I wouldn't root

1046
00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:50,279
Speaker 3: for the Bears when they didn't play the Vikings. I

1047
00:49:50,280 --> 00:49:52,720
Speaker 3: would root for the Bears to lose every single game.

1048
00:49:53,360 --> 00:49:56,000
Speaker 3: That is the child in me, and I'm glad you've

1049
00:49:56,080 --> 00:49:59,400
Speaker 3: risen beyond that to the talkback machine period.

1050
00:50:00,200 --> 00:50:06,279
Speaker 37: JJ first year, really his first year, and he's going

1051
00:50:06,360 --> 00:50:09,320
Speaker 37: to grow into the position. I have all the confidence

1052
00:50:09,640 --> 00:50:12,640
Speaker 37: that the team will jel and within a few years

1053
00:50:12,680 --> 00:50:17,160
Speaker 37: we'll have success. My only worry is if our talent

1054
00:50:17,200 --> 00:50:19,160
Speaker 37: will stay around long enough to find out.

1055
00:50:20,239 --> 00:50:25,400
Speaker 2: Thanks enjoying the show, Thank you talkbacks.

1056
00:50:25,440 --> 00:50:29,719
Speaker 38: Hey Ron Nordo your ps guy here. I'm gonna go

1057
00:50:29,760 --> 00:50:34,880
Speaker 38: full dad mode on you. I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed.

1058
00:50:35,600 --> 00:50:36,880
Speaker 38: I'm gonna hang up and listen.

1059
00:50:38,920 --> 00:50:40,800
Speaker 2: Thanks you bs guy. Well put.

1060
00:50:41,960 --> 00:50:46,880
Speaker 14: After watching today's game and seeing where this team is currently,

1061
00:50:47,560 --> 00:50:51,279
Speaker 14: I think the great Scott staff sums it up the

1062
00:50:51,320 --> 00:50:52,920
Speaker 14: best home.

1063
00:50:53,200 --> 00:50:58,640
Speaker 39: Now I'm six feet from the end and I'm thinking, Hell,

1064
00:50:59,520 --> 00:51:03,840
Speaker 39: maybe six speed ain't so fall down.

1065
00:51:07,760 --> 00:51:11,040
Speaker 3: I love it and I think you're right. Thank you

1066
00:51:11,080 --> 00:51:13,520
Speaker 3: for the talkbacks. Keep them coming. Hey, Ron, can I

1067
00:51:13,520 --> 00:51:16,480
Speaker 3: ask you this team loses today, They're six and four,

1068
00:51:16,560 --> 00:51:21,960
Speaker 3: that's all negative. How how real do you believe? Because

1069
00:51:22,239 --> 00:51:27,040
Speaker 3: last week Jefferson Addison seven catches twenty three targets, and

1070
00:51:27,840 --> 00:51:31,000
Speaker 3: we're trying to read body language and to the to

1071
00:51:31,040 --> 00:51:34,759
Speaker 3: the point, by the way, where Jefferson is even addressing

1072
00:51:34,880 --> 00:51:37,879
Speaker 3: like attitude, level of frustration and such like. Those types

1073
00:51:37,920 --> 00:51:40,839
Speaker 3: of questions were dominating his press conferences throughout the week,

1074
00:51:41,680 --> 00:51:45,680
Speaker 3: and fans kind of fans are asking, did did Jefferson

1075
00:51:45,800 --> 00:51:48,439
Speaker 3: like mail it in? You remember because he the two

1076
00:51:48,480 --> 00:51:52,160
Speaker 3: picks and he didn't chase Malachi Starks across the field,

1077
00:51:52,200 --> 00:51:55,839
Speaker 3: et cetera, and then he falls down on the one

1078
00:51:55,840 --> 00:51:58,200
Speaker 3: that Humphrey grabbed later in the game. And talking about

1079
00:51:58,200 --> 00:52:00,600
Speaker 3: the Ravens, of course, yep, step was see the kid

1080
00:52:00,640 --> 00:52:03,480
Speaker 3: QBS throwing so many multi He's got so many multi

1081
00:52:03,560 --> 00:52:04,640
Speaker 3: interception games.

1082
00:52:04,680 --> 00:52:08,480
Speaker 2: I have to specify the game in which the kid.

1083
00:52:08,280 --> 00:52:10,839
Speaker 3: Throws two picks so that you understand exactly which one

1084
00:52:10,840 --> 00:52:13,360
Speaker 3: I'm talking about. I'm talking about the Ravens game. My

1085
00:52:13,640 --> 00:52:17,160
Speaker 3: point is, then fast forward to today. There were some

1086
00:52:17,280 --> 00:52:20,480
Speaker 3: drops and some other things, kids missing wide open receivers

1087
00:52:20,480 --> 00:52:24,920
Speaker 3: and such. How how difficult is it as a receiver

1088
00:52:25,040 --> 00:52:26,399
Speaker 3: to avoid just I.

1089
00:52:26,320 --> 00:52:27,040
Speaker 2: Mean, you're in it.

1090
00:52:27,400 --> 00:52:28,759
Speaker 3: You want to make that money, you want to make

1091
00:52:28,800 --> 00:52:30,520
Speaker 3: the plays you want to score the points, you want

1092
00:52:30,560 --> 00:52:32,600
Speaker 3: to win the game. No one's questioning that, or at

1093
00:52:32,680 --> 00:52:36,480
Speaker 3: least I'm not, but man, i'd be irritated.

1094
00:52:37,360 --> 00:52:39,200
Speaker 8: Yeah, so you have to one, you have to draw

1095
00:52:39,320 --> 00:52:41,719
Speaker 8: the outside noise because you know the people around them

1096
00:52:41,920 --> 00:52:45,000
Speaker 8: are like, yo, you got to go, or Yo, this

1097
00:52:45,080 --> 00:52:45,960
Speaker 8: is not good, bro.

1098
00:52:46,120 --> 00:52:47,920
Speaker 2: Like what you know, Like.

1099
00:52:47,880 --> 00:52:51,200
Speaker 3: Could you potentially, like have a buddy who you're you're

1100
00:52:51,239 --> 00:52:53,160
Speaker 3: just hanging out with during the week you're playing video

1101
00:52:53,200 --> 00:52:55,799
Speaker 3: games or something like your buddies are going to even

1102
00:52:55,800 --> 00:52:56,839
Speaker 3: be hitting you with are.

1103
00:52:56,800 --> 00:52:59,480
Speaker 8: You kidding with even if he likes if he's playing

1104
00:52:59,520 --> 00:53:02,120
Speaker 8: like if you two k online and people know they're

1105
00:53:02,160 --> 00:53:04,560
Speaker 8: playing with or against Justin Jefferson because we've seen now

1106
00:53:04,719 --> 00:53:06,880
Speaker 8: NBA players playing with NFL players and so on, and

1107
00:53:06,960 --> 00:53:09,800
Speaker 8: so even those guys are in a headset making comments.

1108
00:53:09,920 --> 00:53:12,799
Speaker 8: You know, I think Justin Jefferson's team and him, they're

1109
00:53:12,880 --> 00:53:15,440
Speaker 8: very smart to not allow that stuff to hit the internet.

1110
00:53:15,719 --> 00:53:18,200
Speaker 8: You know, could you imagine Anthony Edwards if he had

1111
00:53:18,239 --> 00:53:20,520
Speaker 8: to catch passes like this or deal with this like

1112
00:53:20,600 --> 00:53:23,520
Speaker 8: he wouldn't you could not keep his mouth shut like

1113
00:53:23,560 --> 00:53:26,040
Speaker 8: he would be talking non sty anything. Edwards doesn't care,

1114
00:53:26,280 --> 00:53:27,640
Speaker 8: you know, what I mean, Like he'll call people out,

1115
00:53:27,719 --> 00:53:31,000
Speaker 8: He'll he'll show frustration, he'll like he'll tell you exactly

1116
00:53:30,880 --> 00:53:33,880
Speaker 8: like Justin Jefferson is kind of contained. But like in

1117
00:53:33,920 --> 00:53:35,600
Speaker 8: the heat of the moment during the game and JJ

1118
00:53:35,719 --> 00:53:38,759
Speaker 8: McCarthy said it, everybody's pissed off its stuff. You know,

1119
00:53:38,840 --> 00:53:41,560
Speaker 8: even the kick return Kevin O'Connell got caught on camera

1120
00:53:41,680 --> 00:53:45,680
Speaker 8: with the F bomb, you know, like, yeah, like it's

1121
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:50,200
Speaker 8: just it's it's just emotional. It's it's tough. But you

1122
00:53:50,239 --> 00:53:52,759
Speaker 8: don't want to end up like AJ Brown and Jalen Hurts.

1123
00:53:52,800 --> 00:53:54,279
Speaker 8: But but here's our I go with this, Norda. We

1124
00:53:54,320 --> 00:53:56,319
Speaker 8: can put all the blame we want on some of

1125
00:53:56,360 --> 00:53:59,680
Speaker 8: this stuff, but the simple stuff that makes all the

1126
00:53:59,719 --> 00:54:01,879
Speaker 8: sense in the world, that doesn't make sense. And here's

1127
00:54:01,880 --> 00:54:05,080
Speaker 8: why I go with this. On third down and one

1128
00:54:05,120 --> 00:54:07,200
Speaker 8: to two yards to go, third down, one to two

1129
00:54:07,239 --> 00:54:10,600
Speaker 8: yards to go. Who do you think is the worst

1130
00:54:10,600 --> 00:54:12,160
Speaker 8: team in the NFL for conversion rate?

1131
00:54:12,520 --> 00:54:15,040
Speaker 2: Well, of course the Vikings are, because they throw it

1132
00:54:15,080 --> 00:54:15,560
Speaker 2: all the time.

1133
00:54:15,680 --> 00:54:21,360
Speaker 8: Ten first downs, ten ten And the crazy part is

1134
00:54:21,920 --> 00:54:23,480
Speaker 8: it's not like they haven't been there.

1135
00:54:23,760 --> 00:54:27,480
Speaker 2: What's that convert? So they're at thirty eight? Yeah, they're

1136
00:54:27,480 --> 00:54:28,920
Speaker 2: at thirty eight percent, you know.

1137
00:54:29,200 --> 00:54:32,520
Speaker 8: But again it's it's how are you like twenty six

1138
00:54:32,600 --> 00:54:36,000
Speaker 8: times down there and you're telling me you're only getting

1139
00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:39,040
Speaker 8: ten first downs on third and one to two. Yeah,

1140
00:54:39,120 --> 00:54:41,359
Speaker 8: you know, when you go look at another team, like

1141
00:54:41,560 --> 00:54:44,080
Speaker 8: let's just say the LA Chargers because we're tricky though,

1142
00:54:44,880 --> 00:54:47,080
Speaker 8: sixty five percent of the time they convert.

1143
00:54:47,560 --> 00:54:50,600
Speaker 2: The LA Chargers interesting because they run the ball, you know,

1144
00:54:50,680 --> 00:54:51,560
Speaker 2: And that's not the top.

1145
00:54:51,680 --> 00:54:54,160
Speaker 8: The top, of course is you know, you got Miami

1146
00:54:54,560 --> 00:54:55,480
Speaker 8: and Miami sucks.

1147
00:54:55,760 --> 00:54:59,080
Speaker 2: Phillies should be up there, aren't they Phillies.

1148
00:54:59,120 --> 00:55:02,000
Speaker 8: Yeah, sixty eight percent for Philly the Dolphins on yet.

1149
00:55:02,040 --> 00:55:04,560
Speaker 8: But here's the Dolphins only been in that situation fourteen times,

1150
00:55:04,640 --> 00:55:06,359
Speaker 8: So it's kind of easy to have a high number

1151
00:55:06,360 --> 00:55:10,480
Speaker 8: when you don't get there that much. But like the

1152
00:55:10,560 --> 00:55:12,680
Speaker 8: Kamyne should be, like, you gotta have twenty or more

1153
00:55:12,800 --> 00:55:14,879
Speaker 8: times in this situation to even comfort You're not big

1154
00:55:14,960 --> 00:55:16,360
Speaker 8: enough to be on this ride Miami.

1155
00:55:16,680 --> 00:55:18,640
Speaker 2: But that's that's what I just.

1156
00:55:18,600 --> 00:55:20,480
Speaker 8: Wonder, is like when you have a powerback like Mason,

1157
00:55:20,520 --> 00:55:22,160
Speaker 8: you have a fullback like CJ. Ham, you have a

1158
00:55:22,160 --> 00:55:24,240
Speaker 8: tight end like Josh Oliver, you have an offensive Lineman,

1159
00:55:24,239 --> 00:55:26,960
Speaker 8: like Christian Derris saw you have another one in Jackson.

1160
00:55:27,040 --> 00:55:29,879
Speaker 2: You have fries. Why are you not just running the ball?

1161
00:55:30,320 --> 00:55:30,520
Speaker 1: Yeah?

1162
00:55:30,600 --> 00:55:33,439
Speaker 8: Well, like Kayleb Williams did those single quarter he didn't

1163
00:55:33,440 --> 00:55:36,080
Speaker 8: even do the push push. He just did the quarterback

1164
00:55:36,120 --> 00:55:39,799
Speaker 8: sneak old school with the way it was created back

1165
00:55:39,800 --> 00:55:43,280
Speaker 8: when our grandfather's played football. Like, that's what the quarterback

1166
00:55:43,280 --> 00:55:45,560
Speaker 8: sneak is supposed to look like, not a frigging dude

1167
00:55:45,560 --> 00:55:49,000
Speaker 8: touching your button pushing you forward. That's that's created by

1168
00:55:49,040 --> 00:55:50,960
Speaker 8: Philly because they're like, oh, we got an advantage, let's

1169
00:55:51,120 --> 00:55:53,600
Speaker 8: let's push him forward, which is illegal, but whatever.

1170
00:55:54,040 --> 00:55:57,960
Speaker 3: I think it actually started when Sirianni was in Indy,

1171
00:55:58,080 --> 00:55:58,480
Speaker 3: h I can.

1172
00:55:58,320 --> 00:56:00,879
Speaker 8: O c Yeah, well, Anthony when he saw the video

1173
00:56:00,880 --> 00:56:03,120
Speaker 8: from Anthony Barr where he came up with that idea.

1174
00:56:03,320 --> 00:56:05,439
Speaker 2: Nobody, I mean, Zim probably never would listen to him anyway,

1175
00:56:05,480 --> 00:56:05,960
Speaker 2: but did you see that?

1176
00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:07,640
Speaker 8: He was like, what if he's just put a tight

1177
00:56:07,719 --> 00:56:10,040
Speaker 8: end right behind a quarterback? Like there's a video of

1178
00:56:10,080 --> 00:56:12,160
Speaker 8: him miked up on the sideline saying that there is. Yeah,

1179
00:56:12,160 --> 00:56:14,279
Speaker 8: oh yeah, I tweeted it out. Hey, Mike's a smart guy.

1180
00:56:14,320 --> 00:56:14,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he.

1181
00:56:14,960 --> 00:56:17,920
Speaker 8: Said, hey, what if you put a tight end behind

1182
00:56:18,200 --> 00:56:20,720
Speaker 8: the quarterback is just pushing forward. And I think Harrison

1183
00:56:20,760 --> 00:56:22,640
Speaker 8: Smith or er kids are sitting next to him and

1184
00:56:22,640 --> 00:56:24,440
Speaker 8: they're like, they kind of do the like maybe, but

1185
00:56:24,480 --> 00:56:26,360
Speaker 8: they're also like, dude, shut up, stop talking to me,

1186
00:56:26,640 --> 00:56:30,000
Speaker 8: you know, but look here we are touch push. Anthony

1187
00:56:30,080 --> 00:56:32,560
Speaker 8: Barr had created the toush push before it even happened,

1188
00:56:32,800 --> 00:56:34,279
Speaker 8: and Mike Zimmer didn't listen to him.

1189
00:56:34,600 --> 00:56:36,120
Speaker 2: That's Ron Johnson. I'm Nordo.

1190
00:56:36,239 --> 00:56:39,359
Speaker 3: Max Fuller is producing a couple more segments to go here.

1191
00:56:39,480 --> 00:56:42,319
Speaker 3: As we get we transitioned from a four and six

1192
00:56:42,360 --> 00:56:44,600
Speaker 3: football team to a hockey team trying to make it

1193
00:56:44,640 --> 00:56:46,399
Speaker 3: two in a row two days and ago. We dig

1194
00:56:46,440 --> 00:56:49,680
Speaker 3: that with the Wild hosting the Vegas Golden Knights. Phone

1195
00:56:49,680 --> 00:56:52,840
Speaker 3: calls and talkbacks continuing on plus your local Chevy Dealers

1196
00:56:52,920 --> 00:56:55,239
Speaker 3: drive of the game as the Vikings lose nineteen to

1197
00:56:55,360 --> 00:56:56,880
Speaker 3: seventeen to the Chicago Bears.

1198
00:56:56,920 --> 00:56:58,960
Speaker 2: Today it's Vikings fan line on the fan.

1199
00:56:59,080 --> 00:57:11,040
Speaker 20: Ar Seriously, hey guys, it's Marshall and minnetaka. Not signing

1200
00:57:11,080 --> 00:57:16,520
Speaker 20: Aaron Rodgers was organizational about practice. JJ McCarthy may turn

1201
00:57:16,560 --> 00:57:18,920
Speaker 20: out to be the guy, but he didn't even practice

1202
00:57:18,960 --> 00:57:21,720
Speaker 20: all year last year. He's twenty two years old. He

1203
00:57:21,760 --> 00:57:24,320
Speaker 20: could have been practicing all year this year. Aaron Rodgers

1204
00:57:24,360 --> 00:57:27,080
Speaker 20: was holding out to be on this team, a top

1205
00:57:27,200 --> 00:57:29,760
Speaker 20: five quarterback of all time. No, he's not what he

1206
00:57:29,840 --> 00:57:32,960
Speaker 20: used to be. But you can't tell me we wouldn't

1207
00:57:32,960 --> 00:57:38,840
Speaker 20: have had three or four more wins with Rogers.

1208
00:57:37,280 --> 00:57:40,120
Speaker 3: Behind that old line to start the season. Marshall, who

1209
00:57:41,200 --> 00:57:44,640
Speaker 3: could have been trouble. But I get the sentiment here podcasts.

1210
00:57:45,440 --> 00:57:47,560
Speaker 40: This is Eric from Highland Park, just going to be

1211
00:57:47,600 --> 00:57:50,240
Speaker 40: a hot take here, real quick, first.

1212
00:57:49,920 --> 00:57:51,560
Speaker 35: Time listener, longtime caller.

1213
00:57:53,080 --> 00:57:56,560
Speaker 15: Vikings going to sweep the rest of the season, playoff,

1214
00:57:56,680 --> 00:57:58,479
Speaker 15: super Bowl, Let's go home boys.

1215
00:58:00,120 --> 00:58:00,720
Speaker 2: I like it.

1216
00:58:00,840 --> 00:58:04,400
Speaker 40: Okay, Hey guys, I've noticed that on the odd years

1217
00:58:04,480 --> 00:58:08,040
Speaker 40: KOC and the Vikings have poor records and something happens,

1218
00:58:08,040 --> 00:58:11,160
Speaker 40: either there's injuries or something and there's just a poor record.

1219
00:58:11,240 --> 00:58:12,840
Speaker 31: So take a look at it. Maybe I'm right or wrong,

1220
00:58:12,880 --> 00:58:17,200
Speaker 31: who knows. The other thing is JJ is also a

1221
00:58:17,240 --> 00:58:20,040
Speaker 31: new quarterback. And if you look at Bryce Young today,

1222
00:58:20,480 --> 00:58:22,720
Speaker 31: like we've been laughing at him and here he had

1223
00:58:22,720 --> 00:58:24,600
Speaker 31: three touchdowns and three hundred yards.

1224
00:58:24,640 --> 00:58:27,200
Speaker 2: So we just have to be patient as well. So

1225
00:58:27,560 --> 00:58:29,400
Speaker 2: let's be patient. Yeah.

1226
00:58:29,440 --> 00:58:32,560
Speaker 3: Impressive work by the Carolina Panthers, establishing one of the

1227
00:58:32,600 --> 00:58:36,960
Speaker 3: better running attacks in the NFL while assisting mister Young,

1228
00:58:37,120 --> 00:58:37,760
Speaker 3: No doubt about it.

1229
00:58:37,880 --> 00:58:43,479
Speaker 41: Talkback machine, Hey guys, this is TJ from Bargo, North Dakota. Hey,

1230
00:58:43,560 --> 00:58:46,640
Speaker 41: I'd like to talk about the special teams coach Ope.

1231
00:58:47,200 --> 00:58:51,400
Speaker 41: This team notoriously has holding calls on kick returns and

1232
00:58:51,400 --> 00:58:54,480
Speaker 41: then happened again today on a long return by Price,

1233
00:58:55,000 --> 00:58:57,360
Speaker 41: plus the terrible kickoff that's set up the game winning

1234
00:58:57,440 --> 00:59:00,640
Speaker 41: field goal. Maybe it's just me, but I think this

1235
00:59:00,760 --> 00:59:01,640
Speaker 41: is part of the problem.

1236
00:59:01,680 --> 00:59:05,320
Speaker 3: Also, thank you, Yeah, thank you, Yes, But I mean

1237
00:59:05,320 --> 00:59:09,800
Speaker 3: they're just that cannot happen, TJ. That can happen special

1238
00:59:09,800 --> 00:59:13,840
Speaker 3: teams gap, specifically the penalties that have taken some yards

1239
00:59:13,880 --> 00:59:16,520
Speaker 3: off the table from Miles Price, who sand you know,

1240
00:59:16,560 --> 00:59:19,760
Speaker 3: save for those two fumbles that he had, has been

1241
00:59:19,960 --> 00:59:21,560
Speaker 3: I mean, just a revelation.

1242
00:59:21,480 --> 00:59:24,560
Speaker 2: In the return game for this team. One more talkback

1243
00:59:24,600 --> 00:59:27,840
Speaker 2: and then we'll pause. Hey guys, Mike from Sales Saint

1244
00:59:27,840 --> 00:59:30,320
Speaker 2: Paul here checking in. Thanks for having me.

1245
00:59:30,960 --> 00:59:34,000
Speaker 26: Uh yeah, I hate to rip on the kid quarterback.

1246
00:59:33,560 --> 00:59:36,800
Speaker 21: But I haven't seen a game like that since PA's

1247
00:59:36,840 --> 00:59:39,720
Speaker 21: guy Donovan McNabb throwing grounders.

1248
00:59:40,920 --> 00:59:42,120
Speaker 10: It was bad, it was ugly.

1249
00:59:42,120 --> 00:59:45,120
Speaker 2: You hide the women and children, get them out of there.

1250
00:59:47,520 --> 00:59:49,800
Speaker 3: Thank you for all the talkbacks today. We are going

1251
00:59:49,880 --> 00:59:52,040
Speaker 3: to pause one more time. I'll give you the local

1252
00:59:52,160 --> 00:59:55,360
Speaker 3: Chevy Dealers drive of the game, and then I guess

1253
00:59:55,400 --> 00:59:57,360
Speaker 3: we're going to try and spin this thing in terms

1254
00:59:57,400 --> 00:59:59,480
Speaker 3: of turning the page and looking ahead to Lambeau and

1255
00:59:59,520 --> 01:00:02,480
Speaker 3: the Packers. There's another division matchup, it's the Border Battle

1256
01:00:02,480 --> 01:00:04,640
Speaker 3: at Lambeau a week from now. But the team's four

1257
01:00:04,680 --> 01:00:08,680
Speaker 3: and six. Are you starting to change your perspective to

1258
01:00:09,960 --> 01:00:11,680
Speaker 3: just see how the QB does the rest of the

1259
01:00:11,760 --> 01:00:14,160
Speaker 3: year and start thinking about the draft, Like I wonder

1260
01:00:14,200 --> 01:00:16,360
Speaker 3: where heads are at in this moment. We'll chat a

1261
01:00:16,360 --> 01:00:18,240
Speaker 3: bit about that as we put a wrap on Vikings

1262
01:00:18,240 --> 01:00:20,400
Speaker 3: fan Line around the corner right here on the fan yea.

1263
01:00:21,760 --> 01:00:25,160
Speaker 3: The final segment Vikings fan Line features the local Chevy

1264
01:00:25,200 --> 01:00:27,720
Speaker 3: Dealers drive of the game. Thank you as always to

1265
01:00:27,800 --> 01:00:31,320
Speaker 3: our local Chevy Dealers. And this one is going to

1266
01:00:31,400 --> 01:00:34,400
Speaker 3: be well, I mean it's pretty obvious, right ten plays

1267
01:00:34,440 --> 01:00:37,200
Speaker 3: eighty five yards. Team absolutely had to have it down

1268
01:00:37,280 --> 01:00:39,640
Speaker 3: ten to six in the fourth quarter, and it culminated

1269
01:00:39,680 --> 01:00:40,040
Speaker 3: with this.

1270
01:00:40,160 --> 01:00:43,600
Speaker 42: Macarthy shotgun first intent from the Bear's fifteen. Addison in

1271
01:00:43,640 --> 01:00:46,560
Speaker 42: motion to the left, takes the snap. Now a four

1272
01:00:46,680 --> 01:00:51,280
Speaker 42: man rush McCarthy to the end zone.

1273
01:00:51,480 --> 01:00:58,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, Jo, listen, just in the nick of time. How

1274
01:00:58,120 --> 01:00:59,080
Speaker 2: we're tied.

1275
01:00:59,240 --> 01:01:05,400
Speaker 42: Pets six Jane, JJ McCarthy, well done.

1276
01:01:06,440 --> 01:01:09,760
Speaker 3: Mat made the score after reikerd hit the extra points

1277
01:01:09,760 --> 01:01:14,160
Speaker 3: seventeen sixteen. That is your local Chevy Dealers drive of

1278
01:01:14,240 --> 01:01:17,440
Speaker 3: the game. Thank you to the local Chevy Dealers. Sadly

1279
01:01:18,320 --> 01:01:22,520
Speaker 3: they left too much clock for Caleb as it was

1280
01:01:22,560 --> 01:01:26,760
Speaker 3: Cairo Santos with a walk off forty eight yard field

1281
01:01:26,800 --> 01:01:31,480
Speaker 3: goal on fourth down and the Vikings lose nineteen seventeen.

1282
01:01:31,520 --> 01:01:34,480
Speaker 2: They're now four and six. Where's your head at?

1283
01:01:34,760 --> 01:01:37,360
Speaker 3: Just a couple of minutes left here and then Minnesota

1284
01:01:37,400 --> 01:01:39,160
Speaker 3: Wild hosting the Vegas Golden Knights.

1285
01:01:39,240 --> 01:01:40,840
Speaker 2: Let's get two points tonight. That'd be sweet.

1286
01:01:40,880 --> 01:01:43,240
Speaker 3: Volstead I think two shutouts in a row in net.

1287
01:01:43,280 --> 01:01:45,160
Speaker 3: I assume if he went last night it'd be gus

1288
01:01:45,160 --> 01:01:47,880
Speaker 3: bust tonight. We shall see. But back to the Vikings

1289
01:01:47,960 --> 01:01:49,600
Speaker 3: Ron just kind of final thoughts. This is a four

1290
01:01:49,640 --> 01:01:52,800
Speaker 3: and sixteen where we got to be patient with the

1291
01:01:52,880 --> 01:01:57,680
Speaker 3: QB who save for that final drive was dreadful today,

1292
01:01:57,880 --> 01:02:01,480
Speaker 3: there's no other getting just JJ mccarth. Theat was dreadful

1293
01:02:01,760 --> 01:02:05,919
Speaker 3: except for one drive. How do you change or maybe

1294
01:02:05,920 --> 01:02:08,560
Speaker 3: you don't change your expectations. It's a border battle week,

1295
01:02:08,640 --> 01:02:11,400
Speaker 3: Let's go beat the Packers. These ones always matter. You're

1296
01:02:11,440 --> 01:02:13,600
Speaker 3: gonna find, you know, the get up level and the

1297
01:02:13,680 --> 01:02:16,120
Speaker 3: compete high in these types of games always, but just

1298
01:02:16,120 --> 01:02:19,120
Speaker 3: from you as as on the outset you're not playing

1299
01:02:19,120 --> 01:02:22,680
Speaker 3: this weekend. How do you change or not change your

1300
01:02:22,720 --> 01:02:25,720
Speaker 3: expectations for a team that needed that one today, didn't

1301
01:02:25,720 --> 01:02:28,240
Speaker 3: get it, needed one last week against the Ravens, didn't

1302
01:02:28,280 --> 01:02:30,600
Speaker 3: get it. Now they're staring at four and six, and

1303
01:02:30,640 --> 01:02:33,800
Speaker 3: the idea of this muddy NFC finding your way into

1304
01:02:33,840 --> 01:02:37,280
Speaker 3: a playoff spot just only continues to get smaller and

1305
01:02:37,360 --> 01:02:38,440
Speaker 3: smaller in that mirror.

1306
01:02:38,720 --> 01:02:40,520
Speaker 8: Yeah, I don't know if you change your expectations at

1307
01:02:40,560 --> 01:02:44,400
Speaker 8: this point, Like ten games in, JAJ McCarthy is probably

1308
01:02:44,400 --> 01:02:47,720
Speaker 8: who they're gonna go with, right the Max Brosmer conversation,

1309
01:02:47,880 --> 01:02:49,920
Speaker 8: I'm guessing you're gonna hear more of it depending on

1310
01:02:49,960 --> 01:02:50,800
Speaker 8: how this game goes.

1311
01:02:50,840 --> 01:02:52,080
Speaker 2: I'm just kind of ignoring that.

1312
01:02:52,000 --> 01:02:53,960
Speaker 8: And Twitter is gonna blow up about it. You know

1313
01:02:54,040 --> 01:02:56,520
Speaker 8: people were booing during the game by the end of

1314
01:02:56,560 --> 01:02:58,960
Speaker 8: the day. Jase McCarthy needs a simpler offense. I just

1315
01:02:58,960 --> 01:03:00,480
Speaker 8: think like the up temples off at the end of

1316
01:03:00,520 --> 01:03:02,600
Speaker 8: the game was perfect for him, Like he did not

1317
01:03:02,680 --> 01:03:06,520
Speaker 8: have to think the defense backed up pretty much because

1318
01:03:06,520 --> 01:03:08,720
Speaker 8: when you go up tempo, you can't really blitz.

1319
01:03:09,120 --> 01:03:10,880
Speaker 2: So I think that's the expectation for this week.

1320
01:03:11,000 --> 01:03:13,800
Speaker 8: You know, you just have to make it simple and

1321
01:03:14,000 --> 01:03:16,000
Speaker 8: go out there against a Packers team who's a little

1322
01:03:16,040 --> 01:03:18,200
Speaker 8: bit wounded, but you know they got to win as well,

1323
01:03:18,280 --> 01:03:20,320
Speaker 8: so or sorry, they got to win and Vikings didn't.

1324
01:03:20,680 --> 01:03:22,160
Speaker 8: So now you just got to kind of play for

1325
01:03:22,240 --> 01:03:24,280
Speaker 8: pride at this point and hope you can back your

1326
01:03:24,280 --> 01:03:25,160
Speaker 8: way into a playoffs.

1327
01:03:25,280 --> 01:03:27,480
Speaker 3: Thanks as always, man, good to see you, know you too.

1328
01:03:27,600 --> 01:03:29,840
Speaker 3: I wish we had better news for you. Vikings lose

1329
01:03:29,960 --> 01:03:33,400
Speaker 3: nineteen to seventeen. They are four and six. Next up
