1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,520
Speaker 1: Welcome to nine to Noon on a chilli Monday. Nordo produces,

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:08,720
Speaker 1: and I'm Paul Allen with the Minnesota Vikings. Well tomorrow

3
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:13,160
Speaker 1: we're off to TCO Radio for our final Kevin O'Connell

4
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:17,239
Speaker 1: chat until probably the combine, and Nine to Noon is

5
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:20,799
Speaker 1: a bit sad saddened about that. We enjoy our Kevin

6
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:24,920
Speaker 1: O'Connell chats each and every Tuesday. Friday is our final

7
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 1: feast for the twenty twenty five Egan gets the money

8
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 1: for the finale. Nine to Noon also is moderately saddened

9
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 1: by that because the producer never has been part of

10
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 1: a postseason feast. Nine to Noon in fact, is actually

11
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:47,559
Speaker 1: bugged by and negative on that postseason feast.

12
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 2: Good morning, Nordo, Good morning.

13
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 3: I will say this as the season wraps up, one

14
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 3: thing that has really impressed me over the course of

15
00:00:56,520 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 3: this year is we are roobs. The listeners are rubs,

16
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 3: and we get the chance to join together every Friday.

17
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 2: The feasts for.

18
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 3: The most part have been jam packed, through the injuries

19
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 3: to the O line, to the injuries to the kid QB,

20
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 3: to weird interceptions, to special teams fumbles, to L after

21
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 3: L after L as part of a nasty losing streak

22
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 3: down the end of Well, what does the future look like?

23
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 3: What are the changes in the offseason? Oh wait, we

24
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 3: still have three or four games to play and people

25
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 3: are still showing up at Buffalo Wild Wings on Fridays

26
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 3: at the Feast to hang out and party with us

27
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 3: each and every week.

28
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 2: So really thankful for that, impressed by it.

29
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,119
Speaker 3: But I couldn't be more down with the fact that

30
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 3: Friday is truly at noon, the final boom of the

31
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 3: twenty twenty five campaign for the Purple and not getting

32
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 3: to feel a postseason feast, the hope, the hope and

33
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 3: the optimism of playing January football.

34
00:01:58,520 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 2: In the winter.

35
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 3: Go home, Ernie, and we're on the outside looking at

36
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 3: it sucks.

37
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 2: Where did we go wrong?

38
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 1: Seriously not bringing this defense and not bringing this kicker

39
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 1: to the postseason?

40
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 2: That ain't great, It's criminal. More on that soon.

41
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 1: Talkbacks included free iHeart Audio app and where did we

42
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 1: go wrong? Possibly could re emerge next week. That Christmas

43
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: Day game for the Minnesota Vikings was so special for

44
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 1: so many people there. For those of you who were

45
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 1: at US Bank Stadium, you know what I'm talking about.

46
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 1: There was so much joy in the crowd. It's analogous

47
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 1: to what Nordo just said about the feast. No matter

48
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 1: quarterback in quarterback out, play, don't play play, don't play play,

49
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: don't play injuries, no playoffs on the horizon, the feeling

50
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 1: of no playoffs on the horizon with three major holidays

51
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:02,239
Speaker 1: in front of you. Love that one, yet so much

52
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 1: joy in that Christmas Day in early evening crowd. The

53
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings defense is perhaps the or one of the

54
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 1: most underrated NFL wide stories. I mean, it's best in

55
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: the league at not allowing twenty yard or more hits.

56
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: Took it six times from the stingiest team in the NFL.

57
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 1: The kiddies put these guys on bad games Golf Gibbs, Jamison, Montgomery,

58
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: Dak CD, Darnold Smith and Jigbab McLaurin, Deebo Love Caleb

59
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: and Jackson Dark completed one first half pass.

60
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 2: I always love that one. Where did we go wrong?

61
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 1: The quarterback common thread with like twenty four offensive line

62
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 1: combos major factor in the Where did we go wrong?

63
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 1: The of the talkbacks free iHeart audio app start those

64
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 1: bad boys.

65
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 2: A couple of.

66
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 1: Segments from now Christmas Day night that was an Alzheimer

67
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 1: for me, Harrison Smith watching a stifling defense, rep after

68
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: rep after rep. My kids got to see some of

69
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 1: the game from the booth. Reikerd setting a record, Jefferson

70
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: getting a big one behind him despite minimal receiving yards. Again,

71
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:27,039
Speaker 1: all time great day memory. Given it was Christmas, My

72
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,039
Speaker 1: cross country kids were together and at a Vikings game,

73
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,799
Speaker 1: just like when the Boy was seven Coley was five,

74
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:38,359
Speaker 1: and the vibe was all about being perfect. The Snoop

75
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: halftime show was excellent and that they should use that

76
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 1: they should use the same crew for the super Bowl.

77
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 1: That was fantastic. Winning eight was important too for the Vikings.

78
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 1: We've mentioned this before, can't win as many or fewer

79
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,840
Speaker 1: as the Dobs here. I always love that that was

80
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:05,600
Speaker 1: seven and twenty twenty three. So there's that and yours truly,

81
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 1: quite honestly, shouldn't have approached Brozemer for a walking drive by.

82
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 1: Didn't know what to ask because of the defense dominated game.

83
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:19,279
Speaker 1: He just wanted to talk about my watch, And it's

84
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 1: really difficult after the joy of a victory like that

85
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 1: for many of them, hitting the backup quarterback with like Cole,

86
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,720
Speaker 1: you didn't turn it over, held it when getting hit

87
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 1: and did a great job with the handoffs, isn't it.

88
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 1: Cole Ty Chandler got some run end quote that just yeah, so.

89
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 2: You were rocking the Vikes brightling, weren't you? Yeah? Yeah?

90
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 2: And I had the microphone in the left hand, so

91
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 2: good look at that time. But I mean I asked

92
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 2: a question. He's like, nice watch.

93
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,840
Speaker 1: I'm like, all right, yeah, probably wasn't the most well

94
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:55,160
Speaker 1: timed walk up.

95
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 3: Drive by sound sounds like the team themselves, the players

96
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 3: themselves are feeling the the brunt of a non playoff year.

97
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 2: One to go.

98
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:08,159
Speaker 1: It's the border battle last week, nor Do and I

99
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 1: kind of fell into the dang, where did we go wrong?

100
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 1: Given bringing the defense to the postseason would be all

101
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:20,479
Speaker 1: about the bomb. It's such an underrated story in the

102
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:25,479
Speaker 1: National Football League because of the record. So that's the

103
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 1: that's like the nine thirty and beyond today talkbacks are included.

104
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 2: Where did we go wrong this year?

105
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 1: Knowing what we know now about the defense, the kicker,

106
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 1: we swept the Lions. We swept the Lions. Yeah, where

107
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 1: do we go wrong? That's the talkback question? You know

108
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:45,040
Speaker 1: what to do?

109
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 2: Where did we go wrong?

110
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 1: So I rolled with some Christmas Day drive bys, and

111
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 1: there was lots of Harry the hit Man talk, including

112
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 1: some one on one time with the game changer. But yes, sir, sir,

113
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: we started with Ira Murphy Junior and I was like,

114
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 1: two picks in two games, my man.

115
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:06,600
Speaker 2: Now you're just showing off.

116
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 4: Definitely obviously, me and you we talked about this coming

117
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 4: up short throughout the whole season, not having any just

118
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 4: you know, once I got my first one, like I

119
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 4: gotta keep stacking him, obviously making place for the defense.

120
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 4: But today was a great day and it was just

121
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 4: amazing family.

122
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 1: That's phenomenal. The guy who are left, You're right, my left,

123
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 1: Harrison Smith. I mean, I'm gonna wait for the media

124
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 1: to leave and I'm going to walk up to him

125
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 1: with the drive by. Say, bro, you just can't stop. Honestly,

126
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 1: you can't. I know it's fourteen years. Might be tired

127
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 1: and stuff like that, but holy cow, is he playing

128
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: good man?

129
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 2: Probably, Like I say, he's a goat.

130
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 4: He's a Hall of Femer for a reason, one of

131
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 4: the best, and obviously still playing at a high level.

132
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 4: And like you said, I don't want him to go nowhere.

133
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 4: That's the leader of our room. But yeah, definitely been

134
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 4: playing at a high level and I just love I

135
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 4: love being around it.

136
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 2: Love everybody.

137
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 1: Merry Christmas and thanks for always being so Kindy Sarah,

138
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 1: Merry Christmas. Ira Murphy Junior one of my very favorite

139
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 1: tier Man drive bys after a twenty three to ten

140
00:07:55,720 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 1: victory Redford, Michigan native Real quick. Eric Wilson, Eric Wilson,

141
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 1: I want to begin with Harrison Smith, but I mean,

142
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 1: he just can't be done.

143
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 2: Honestly.

144
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I know it's fourteen years and everything, but

145
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 1: I mean he picking an interception today, three passes, defense

146
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 1: block shots, as Kevin O'Connell calls them. He joined Ronde

147
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 1: Barber as the only two players in the history of

148
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 1: the NFL with at least thirty eight picks and twenty

149
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 1: one and a half sacks.

150
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 2: So he might be done, but he just can't be done.

151
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 5: Man.

152
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 2: He's playing so good. He's playing great.

153
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 5: Man.

154
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 6: He's a leader out there, man. We count on him.

155
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 6: He's the heart of this defense. So it's awesome to

156
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,960
Speaker 6: see him go out there and make plays on a

157
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 6: big day, Christmas Day, tight game division.

158
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 1: It's huge, man, Hey, Eric hempany with this, The Lions

159
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 1: came into the game with only eight Gibs fewest in

160
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 1: the NFL. Wasn't even close. You guys went out there

161
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 1: and took it six times from them. I mean b flowed.

162
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 1: The whole defense is just on fire right now with

163
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 1: the unpredictability at the line.

164
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 2: What do you think about all that?

165
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 7: I think it's a testament playing together. Man.

166
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 6: Everybody's got to be on the same page with the

167
00:08:58,840 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 6: type of stuff that we do.

168
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 2: You know, we rely on one another.

169
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 6: We gotta trust one another, and it's awesome for it

170
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 6: to be on display.

171
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 2: Well, be buddy, Mary Christmas, Marry Christmas with Eric Wilson.

172
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 1: Eric Wilson leads all linebackers in the NFL with tackles

173
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:13,559
Speaker 1: for a lost And we'll come.

174
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 2: Over here real quick. Jay Ward.

175
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:18,960
Speaker 1: It's you had one of those games today, man, where

176
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:20,559
Speaker 1: if you like look at the box score and stuff,

177
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 1: you'd be like, all right, you know we got this

178
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 1: and we got that. You're playing with your hair on

179
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 1: fire right now, man. I mean you are playing so good,

180
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:30,079
Speaker 1: jay Ward. We're gonna get to that momentarily because you've

181
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 1: been a safety in a corner this year. The guy

182
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 1: over to our right, you're left, Harrison Smith. The common

183
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,199
Speaker 1: thread is he just can't be done. I mean, seriously,

184
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 1: the way he's playing right now, wouldn't you agree?

185
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, ain't need to go and come back one will year,

186
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:44,679
Speaker 2: which is uh.

187
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 1: I just talked to Eric Wilson about this. But Lions

188
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 1: came into the game. Man, they only gave it away

189
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 1: eight times the whole year. You guys took it six

190
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 1: times from them today or some of the keys did.

191
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 2: Doing your job, you're one and eleven. The players will

192
00:09:57,920 --> 00:09:59,559
Speaker 2: come to you. Stop, don't chase them.

193
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:00,200
Speaker 6: Oh.

194
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,599
Speaker 1: By the way, something we've talked about for about a

195
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 1: month and a half, you never having a sack in

196
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 1: your life. You actually had one in a preseason game.

197
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 1: I think it might have been against Houston or Arizona

198
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 1: a few years ago. Remember that my rookie year against

199
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 1: a Z But no, don't count those though. All right, well,

200
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 1: you got one more game to get ones to go

201
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 1: out there a THEO. Theo Jackson got the first sack

202
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 1: of his career today.

203
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:20,559
Speaker 2: You got to be next, right.

204
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 8: It felt like I had got it when I seen

205
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 8: Theo get it.

206
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:24,560
Speaker 2: But I'm doing a cluelessen.

207
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 1: You're playing so good right now. Man, God bless you,

208
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 1: and congratulations Mary Chris, thank you Mary Chris. It's Jay

209
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:33,680
Speaker 1: Ward safety slash corner for the Minnesota Vikings. Some drive

210
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 1: bys after a rather convincing victory over the Detroit Lions.

211
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 1: Here here's Andrew Van Ginkel that that fumble recovery when

212
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 1: they tried to quick snap and get all sneaky and

213
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 1: everything early kind of turned the whole thing around. Aaron

214
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 1: Jones got into the end zone, took the lead. But

215
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 1: you know, kind of the common thread with this, Andrew,

216
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 1: has been Lions came into the game with eight giveaways

217
00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:00,680
Speaker 1: the entire season through fifteen games, eighty far number one

218
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 1: in the NFL. You guys took it six times from

219
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:04,200
Speaker 1: them today. How about that?

220
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 9: Uh yeah, it's you know, something that we struggle with

221
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:09,560
Speaker 9: at times this season, and we knew when they came

222
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 9: they were gonna come in bunches. So we're a resilient bunch.

223
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:15,960
Speaker 9: We keep fighting, we keep pushing. Obviously, the season hasn't

224
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 9: gone the way we wanted it to, but you know,

225
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,079
Speaker 9: we we keep getting after it and we play every

226
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 9: game hard. We play physical, and we play to the

227
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 9: best of our ability. And when you do that, good

228
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 9: things happen.

229
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:27,959
Speaker 2: What what's the season been like for you?

230
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,439
Speaker 1: I mean, you miss some time and maybe coming back

231
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:31,839
Speaker 1: from that, it took a little while to get going.

232
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 2: But it seems like you're completely full throttle right now.

233
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 9: Yeah, obviously, you know it was tough being out those games.

234
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 9: You know, you sit there and you watch and you

235
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:42,319
Speaker 9: know it's hard, you know, because you want to be

236
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 9: out there helping the team win. You want to be

237
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 9: you doing everything you can to you know, help the

238
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 9: guys in this locker room. You know, that's what it's

239
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 9: all about. And when you can't be out there, it

240
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 9: can it can cause some you know, stress on you.

241
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 9: But I'm happy with Yeah, you're right, you know, it

242
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 9: kind of took my footing to get going again, but

243
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,319
Speaker 9: I feel like myself again and I feel confident, comfortable

244
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,839
Speaker 9: and just trying to make plays, all right.

245
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 1: The lastly, the guy to your right my left, Harrison Smith,

246
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 1: fourteenth year from Notre Dame. Today was this two hundred

247
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,840
Speaker 1: and second start, third most in the history of Vikings football.

248
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 1: I think it was this two hundred and six game overall.

249
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,200
Speaker 1: After the game, he told Ben Leeber. In all of

250
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 1: the games he's played here, all two six, today was

251
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 1: was one of the if not the best defensive performances

252
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 1: he's ever been a part of.

253
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm gonna go over and chat with Harrison momentarily.

254
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 2: I mean, he just can't be done, Kenny. I mean,

255
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 2: maybe he's tired and everything. Old people get tired. Just

256
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 2: ask me.

257
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be sixty in two weeks. But still he's

258
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 1: playing so good.

259
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 2: He played. You know, he's so smart. He's he's knowledgeable

260
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 2: of the game.

261
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 9: He you know, he might not have the step that

262
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 9: he used to have, but he's you know, he plays

263
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 9: with instincts. He plays smart. He knows exactly where to be,

264
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 9: which allows him to play fast.

265
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 2: And you know, he's.

266
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 9: The leader of our team.

267
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:53,560
Speaker 2: He deserves to be in the Hall of Fame.

268
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 9: He has, He's had a great career and who knows

269
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 9: what he do does at the end of this year.

275
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 1: much as you can without oversharing obviously, but I mean,

276
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 1: the role this defense is on right now with with

277
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,240

308
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 10: I'm pretty like honestly, I've been emotional since I was

309
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 10: like since I was a kid playing football. I used

310
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 10: to my dad told me, I need to find a

311
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 10: way to get it under control. So I know that's

312
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 10: not my reputation because I'm pretty quiet, but the game

313
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 10: of football is it's emotional, So it just it just happens.

314
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 11: Sometimes you feel like that, just getting later in your

315
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 11: career that that comes to be a bigger part of it.

316
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 11: Just understanding the context of I only have so many

317
00:14:57,680 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 11: of these days left, whether it's this year, next year, whatever.

318
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's definitely a.

319
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:08,119
Speaker 10: You know, I'm maturity and you realize your own football mortality.

320
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 10: It's when you're young, you're just there's there's no end

321
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 10: in sight and you know the past couple of years.

322
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 10: It's I know it's there. It's like it's not a

323
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 10: it's not a motion out of sadness. It's just because

324
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 10: it's it's it's more heightened, I would say, so you

325
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 10: just feel a little more.

326
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm just gonna sneak in a quick drive by here.

327
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 1: I'm never gonna forget today. And you had a lot

328
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 1: to do with that, and you know, you and I've

329
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 1: been around for a long time, man. And after the game,

330
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 1: you told Ben Leeber today was your two hundred and

331
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 1: second start, third most in the history of the Vikings,

332
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 1: passing hof Carleler. I think you've played two six or

333
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 1: two oh seven. You told Ben this is one of

334
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 1: the greatest defensive performances.

335
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 2: You've ever been part of.

336
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 1: That is such a big statement to make, and you're

337
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 1: absolutely right. But like what was going through your mind

338
00:15:57,880 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 1: when you said that? What led to like one of

339
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 1: the best over the last fourteen years.

340
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 10: I mean, I think it's the it's probably the reality

341
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 10: to start with, but just like the amount of plays

342
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 10: getting made by everybody, the way, the way that we

343
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 10: decided to play, I think, I think is what I

344
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 10: was speaking to the most and I was on. I've

345
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 10: been on a lot of defenses that did have that style,

346
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 10: and I will never forget those ones either, and those

347
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 10: from some phenomenal defenses. You know, it's just it's just

348
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 10: how it went today, and we're feeding off each other.

349
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 2: I'm gonna let you go here.

350
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 1: Man, You've had a lot of media stuff and it's

351
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 1: been a tree watching you and waiting for you.

352
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 2: My common thread here has been that the Lions.

353
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 1: Came into the game with a Gibbs Okay, absolutely best

354
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 1: in the NFL.

355
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 2: You guys took it from him six times.

356
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 1: Today, So as the team goes, it's the most underrated

357
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 1: story in the NFL because of the record.

358
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 2: I mean, you got the Bears.

359
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 1: Doing what they're doing, Denver finally loses, but I mean

360
00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 1: this defense is absolutely one of the best in the NFL.

361
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 1: I think people will start talking about it now. Not

362
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 1: that you care about that, but this defense. Man, When

363
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 1: when O'Connell says the cat and mouse like you have

364
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 1: with smart quarterbacks like Dak and Jared Goff, how do

365
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 1: you get ready for that?

366
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 12: Like?

367
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 2: What are some keys?

368
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:17,159
Speaker 10: Realistically, It's just it starts with just the amount of

369
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 10: experience I have in the game like and.

370
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:24,119
Speaker 2: I was fortunate to play previously.

371
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:27,199
Speaker 10: For you know, Mike Zimmer who was very aggressive as

372
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:30,640
Speaker 10: a play caller as well, so I had I had

373
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:34,960
Speaker 10: some experience. And then when Flow got here, you know,

374
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,199
Speaker 10: it's it's it's not the same, it's it's different.

375
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:38,440
Speaker 2: It's his own thing.

376
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 10: But he's he's kind of expanded some things we can

377
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:49,359
Speaker 10: do and given a little bit of I think I've

378
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:52,160
Speaker 10: said this before, like a little bit of autonomic autonomy

379
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:55,920
Speaker 10: to the players, because he builds the system and has

380
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 10: trust that we can execute all the things within it.

381
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 10: And I think it's you know, we started out three

382
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 10: years ago doing it and it was it was okay,

383
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 10: and built last year and I think you're kind of

384
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,400
Speaker 10: seeing it gets to a pretty high level right now.

385
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 1: He's diabolical. That's the only way to put it. I

386
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 1: know you're not going to commit. You can't be done.

387
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? I mean, honestly, I've called all

388
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 1: your games, man, and and you know, all the way

389
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:23,920
Speaker 1: back to twenty fifteen, to the College Stadium when you

390
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:27,200
Speaker 1: picked off Eli Manning for your fourth interception touchdown, and

391
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 1: we go all the way back, Man, it's.

392
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:32,639
Speaker 2: You're not conclusively done right fourteen into it.

393
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 10: I'm I'm not thinking about it right now. And I've

394
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 10: said that like the last three or four years, so

395
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 10: you're probably sick of that answer.

396
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 2: But that's great.

397
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 10: It's I'm having fun right now and I don't want

398
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 10: to take anything away from love you very much bout it.

399
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:52,919
Speaker 1: You're fantastic at what you do. Merry Christmas, and congratulations

400
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:56,440
Speaker 1: on the win. Merry Christmas, pa Arison Smith, He's the bomb.

401
00:18:56,520 --> 00:19:00,119
Speaker 1: Holy col I mean, what a what a memorable memorable day.

402
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 1: Guy died by Harrison Smith. As we do some post

403
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 1: game drive bys, walk over here, jail and Redmond, Jail

404
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:11,239
Speaker 1: and Redmond, all over the field again the the the

405
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 1: Lions came into the game, Man, with eight giveaways the

406
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 1: whole year. All right, now, I understand it's the giving season,

407
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:18,119
Speaker 1: but I don't think they thought to come in here

408
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 1: and give it away six times. You took it from

409
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 1: them six times and they only had eight into the game.

410
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:24,199
Speaker 2: What do you think some of the keys were?

411
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 8: Yeah, man, that's I have to get out to the

412
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 8: to the defense and the back, getting that pressure up

413
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:32,359
Speaker 8: on them real quick, and you know, just trying to

414
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 8: get them get the ball out quick and the guys

415
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 8: in the back and did what they were supposed to do.

416
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:38,879
Speaker 1: How do you define like what you do as a

417
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 1: defensive tackle defensive lineman?

418
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,360
Speaker 2: I mean you got really good wiggle, You're you're defined

419
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:44,640
Speaker 2: as a defensive tackle.

420
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 1: But like with Grenard or Van Ginkle were down at

421
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:48,879
Speaker 1: one point, you were standing up on the edge and

422
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 1: stuff like that for a little bit. But like, what

423
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 1: are some keys to playing as well as you've played

424
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 1: this year, jailing man?

425
00:19:55,760 --> 00:20:00,880
Speaker 8: Just just to practice just doing it. Honestly, there's really

426
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 8: no just no real formula to you know, let.

427
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:06,200
Speaker 2: Me rephrase it. I mean you're a hear and change

428
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 2: removed from being.

429
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,199
Speaker 1: In Arlington or Dallas renegade okay, And I know we

430
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 1: had a blood cloud issue earlier in your life, you know, and.

431
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:14,399
Speaker 2: Clearly you've worked your way through that.

432
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 1: So like, like, what what do you think people missed,

433
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:20,239
Speaker 1: you know when you came out of Oklahoma? You know,

434
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 1: because clearly with all these tackles for loss and these

435
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 1: sacks and everything, you belonged as a starter in the NFL.

436
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 8: Uh. Yeah, man, I say this all the time. I

437
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:32,920
Speaker 8: wouldn't change everything that happened in my past or anything. Yeah,

438
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 8: it happened when it was supposed to happen. I probably wouldn't,

439
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:39,239
Speaker 8: you know, I probably couldn't handle what I'm doing right

440
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:41,679
Speaker 8: now at that age coming out, So I say that

441
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:42,200
Speaker 8: all the time.

442
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 1: Man, it happened when it was supposed to. It was

443
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 1: a hard road, but we got the congratulations. Have a

444
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 1: very merry Christmas. Merry Christmas to Youtubeankim God, bless you man,

445
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 1: Jael and Redman part of the Vikings defensive line that

446
00:20:56,000 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 1: had a really really good time today against a makeshift

447
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 1: Lions offensive line. But you know what, the Minnesota Vikings

448
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:06,359
Speaker 1: had a makeshift moving company too. They came into it

449
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 1: with Justin's school making his eighth start at left tackle,

450
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 1: Michael Jurgens making a second start at center replacing Ryan Kelly,

451
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:17,239
Speaker 1: and Brian O'Neill tried to give it a go, but

452
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 1: it was a late scratch. So therefore Blake brandle I

453
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 1: had to step in and start at right tackle, and

454
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:26,440
Speaker 1: they all played part of it. As Max Brosmer walks

455
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 1: to his press conference, We're going to drive by walk

456
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:28,560

Speaker 2: PA liked that watch.

460
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's pretty sweet.

461
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:36,359
Speaker 2: Do what can I watch that.

462
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 1: That's a bright wing from Continental Diamond. And since we

463
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:40,719
Speaker 1: just gave him that nice little pope, we can save

464
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:42,439
Speaker 1: some money on it. You've got a press conference to do.

465
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 1: I want to congratulate you on the victory. Oh you

00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,359
Speaker 1: got that victory like you did last week filling in

467
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 1: for McCarthy and you got one to go against the

468
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:50,960

Speaker 1: you're tough, man, You're tough. Merry Christmas, God bless you.

484
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 1: You're a veteran. You played against Harris and Smith. I

485
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 1: just got done chatting with him and I'm like, you

486
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 1: just I mean, you can't be done?

487
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:40,480
Speaker 2: Are you kidding me? It's I've called all of his games.

488
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:42,439
Speaker 2: He's playing as well right now as he's ever played.

489
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:44,399
Speaker 13: Yeah, And after the game he came in here and

490
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:45,719
Speaker 13: he's like, I don't know if I've ever had as

491
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 13: much fun. He was like talking addressing the team, and

492
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 13: then I shouted out, Oh, so that means you got

493
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 13: to come back next year if you're having this much fun.

494
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 13: So just honored to be able to play with him

495
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,119
Speaker 13: now after playing against him, and I've got to have

496
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:03,639
Speaker 13: conversations with him and tell him how he's made me

497
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 13: a better player and kind of gave me the confidence

498
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 13: that I've arrived playing against him as well, So he's

499
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 13: done a lot for my confidence. And then just being

500
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 13: able to pick his brain as a veteran, Hey, what

501
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 13: is the safety see on this? Are they looking at

502
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 13: the backsize? If you have a if you have a

503
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 13: back and man, what are you thinking? And I know

504
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 13: all dv's played different because they rely on their their

505
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 13: technique or their skill what makes them them. But you

506
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 13: can get a good gauge of what guys are thinking,

507
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 13: and he's he's.

508
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:33,400
Speaker 7: A true leader.

509
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:34,680
Speaker 13: And you see the I don't know if he was

510
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:36,399
Speaker 13: in here after the game, but you see the true

511
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 13: reception that.

512
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 7: He got, and I hope he comes back next year.

513
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 7: I'm gonna stand his ear.

514
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 13: His lockers are right next to mine at TCO, so

515
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 13: I'm gonna stand his ear and C J.

516
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:49,200
Speaker 2: Ham So all.

517
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:51,680
Speaker 1: Right, And when I say, I mean, there's so many

518
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 1: things I appreciate you about Aaron. When you played for

519
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:55,680
Speaker 1: Green Bay, man, I just heard a bunch of things

520
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:58,479
Speaker 1: from packers, packer media and stuff on how much they

521
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:00,720
Speaker 1: loved you there and the fans loved you, and now

522
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 1: we're living it and seeing it here. You got your

523
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:04,359
Speaker 1: first touchdown in a month and a half. That was

524
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 1: great to start festivities. But when you left that Giants

525
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:10,399
Speaker 1: game early, man, you know watching you on the sideline

526
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 1: work your way to get back in the game for yourself, sure,

527
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 1: but for your team too, because.

528
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 2: Jordan got hurt too and you knew they needed you.

529
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 1: But you also know this is a non playoff here,

530
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 1: yet you still bust your butt to get out there

531
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 1: and be with your teammates. Not everybody's like that, man,

532
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:28,359
Speaker 1: I've seen a lot like you. Not everybody's like that.

533
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:31,400
Speaker 1: Why is it so important for you to play through

534
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 1: these injuries to help your brothers?

535
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:38,440
Speaker 13: So's football character one. We're building. We're building and we're

536
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:42,120
Speaker 13: forging for next year, and I want this. I want

537
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 13: them to see, especially the young guys. Hey, if it's

538
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:49,159
Speaker 13: not broke, if is, if I'm not out for the season,

539
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:50,639
Speaker 13: I can get out there, I can tape it up

540
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:53,200
Speaker 13: and I can find a way. And like you said,

541
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 13: I know my teammates are depending on me and relying

542
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 13: on me, and I feel like, truly I can't let

543
00:24:57,680 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 13: them down.

544
00:24:58,160 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 7: So that's just on my heart.

545
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,680
Speaker 13: And then also if I'm sitting on the sideline and

546
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:05,920
Speaker 13: warnering if I can play and don't, it's gonna bother

547
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:06,320
Speaker 13: me more.

548
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:09,200
Speaker 7: And just even when I am, like against.

549
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 13: Detroit the first time we played him in I got

550
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 13: hurt and didn't couldn't come back in the game, and

551
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 13: it hurt me more to be on the sideline watching

552
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:18,240
Speaker 13: than to be out there with those guys.

553
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 1: Lastly, I want to give some love to one of

554
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 1: your running back room brothers. I'm a huge ty Chandler guy. Man,

555
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 1: He's one of the sweetest people and he's fast and

556
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:29,439
Speaker 1: he's good and it's bug to bleep out of him

557
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 1: all year that he had to battle that injury, got

558
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 1: himself back, was an active when active today with Mason down,

559
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 1: ended up being your backup.

560
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 2: Ty gave you a little pop. I mean, that's so

561
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 2: great for Ty Chandler.

562
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:43,960
Speaker 7: He gave us a huge, a huge pick me up.

563
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:44,960
Speaker 7: When he came in the game.

564
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:49,399
Speaker 13: I told him was probably today's Thursday, So I probably

565
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 13: told him Wednesday, no Tuesday.

566
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:54,439
Speaker 7: Walking out of the facility, Hey, I'm proud of you.

567
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:57,480
Speaker 13: I know at the beginning of the year, or even

568
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 13: before that, during ot as, when you're back at home

569
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:03,159
Speaker 13: and all season on your own and your training, you're

570
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 13: putting in that work. You never envisioned your season going

571
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 13: like this, and you didn't complain about it one time.

572
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 7: You kept your head down. You showed up to work

573
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 7: every day.

574
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:15,640
Speaker 13: You was still a joy to be around in light,

575
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 13: giving your feedback on what you see and helping everybody.

576
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:22,199
Speaker 13: And he showed up, like I said, he showed up

577
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:23,919
Speaker 13: every day. He could have been feeling bad, sad for

578
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:26,719
Speaker 13: himself or bad. He never did that, and I told

579
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 13: him it always works out the way. As opposed to,

580
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 13: and I'm happy he's getting his opportunity. And then when

581
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 13: it was his time to go in the game, I

582
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 13: told him, hey, make the most of every opportunity you get.

583
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:37,640
Speaker 2: My man. Merry Christmas.

584
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:41,399
Speaker 1: Please tell your mom thank you for loving, respecting and

585

00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:49,199
Speaker 1: And likewise for you, God bless you. Merry Christmas. You

587
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,439
Speaker 1: are the consummate teammate, one of the toughest guys I've

588
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:51,960
Speaker 1: ever seen.

589
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:54,440
Speaker 13: Thank you very much, Thank you, and like you said,

590
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:56,359

591
00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 13: possible in today's especially his.

Speaker 1: this chilly Monday at FN one hundred point three kfa

601
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:27,639
Speaker 1: N good morning.

602
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:37,119
Speaker 2: You know, with the.

603
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 1: The Devin du Vernet kick return that led to the

604
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:43,719
Speaker 1: Bears walk off win. Vikings were about a ninety two

605
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:46,359
Speaker 1: and a half percent winner in that game against the

606
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:49,640
Speaker 1: Bears at US Bank Stadium. Feels like five years ago.

607
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 1: It was probably like five weeks ago. And the nine

608
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 1: to noon is not your lamenting leader. I mean, our

609
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 1: lots in life are what our life and life arm

610
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:04,919
Speaker 1: and there's no sense in going back to a situation

611
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 1: like that and being like, I mean, if they just

612
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 1: had thwarted the Bears on that kick return and stopped them,

613
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 1: things could be so different right now from a postseason

614
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 1: standpoint and getting.

615
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:22,679
Speaker 5: Nordo to his first Friday football feast postseason style.

616
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:24,919
Speaker 2: Dang it man, that kick returned to Vernay.

617
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 3: I mean, it's tough to do things on a week

618
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:31,360
Speaker 3: by week and the butterfly effect of various things happening

619
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 3: over the course of the season. But you know, if

620
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 3: we beat the Bears and it's a winning in yeah,

621
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 3: it's a winning in feast in Egan and you are

622
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 3: playing your chief rivals, the Packers and Malik Willis on

623
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 3: Sunday at US Bank Stadium. Maybe Clayton tune, maybe Clayton

624
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 3: tune for that seventh spot in the postseason. That is

625
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 3: where the Vikings currently are at. How close things feel

626
00:28:57,400 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 3: at eight and eight? Now, where did things go wrong?

627
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 3: Where did we go wrong? I think that was the bottom.

628
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:07,240
Speaker 1: The Duvernet kick return, that that right there, leading to

629
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 1: losing that game.

630
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 2: That was it? You think that was it? That was it?

631
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 2: That was the whole thing right there. What about Seattle?

632
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 2: I mean the bottom.

633
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 3: Maybe there are different bottoms, different levels of bottom.

634
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 1: Winning at Seattle, even with the way the Vikings defense

635
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 1: finished the season, is dramatically more difficult than stopping somebody

636
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:30,040
Speaker 1: on a kick return and keeping him out of field

637
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 1: goal range. To win a game against a division foe. Yeah,

638
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 1: sweeping a team that now has eleven wins and is

639
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:38,240
Speaker 1: going to win the division.

640
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 3: Oh man, Well, I just the bottom for me with

641
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 3: with that particular game is I felt like my soul,

642
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 3: my Vikings loving soul, was being taken from me in

643
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:52,240
Speaker 3: that moment as I watched Ernest Jones. Did you say

644
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 3: he's the fourth Well, he's the fourth rendition of the

645
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 3: of the Ernest Jones family tree and he gets to

646
00:29:59,880 --> 00:30:03,880
Speaker 3: the house. That that one for me was maybe the

647
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 3: mental bottom. But you're right, I mean if we stopped Tuberney,

648
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 3: here's what we would have teams ninety win night and

649
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:12,320
Speaker 3: in that.

650
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 2: Ain't it. We got this.

651
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 1: We got this crowd thing in there somewhere with the

652
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 1: Friday football feast. I think it was twenty twelve. It

653
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 1: was before Vikings and Packers, and it was a win

654
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 1: and in and the crowd.

655
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 2: Was just win and in when and in, when and in.

656
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 3: I think we had that twenty eighteen against the Bears too. Yeah,

657
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 3: and it was it? What the hell was it was?

658
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 2: Jordan? Oh?

659
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 3: What the hell was that running backs name? That just

660
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 3: got loose on us? Let me see here talkback machine,

661
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 3: Jordan Howard. Jordan Howard. Yeah, that was that was fun? Uh,

662
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 3: talkback machine? Very common thread here the what did go wrong?

663
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:54,320
Speaker 3: What went wrong? Where did we go wrong?

664
00:30:54,880 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 14: Let's listen, Hey, Pa Jonesy from Pine City love the show.

665
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:04,120
Speaker 14: Where I think we would wrong this season is not

666
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 14: having a better backup quarterback. Hopefully the Vikings can get

667
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,080
Speaker 14: that address going into next season.

668
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 1: Appreciate you, Appreciate you. I didn't mind Wentz. I mean

669
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 1: if you could have kept Carson in one piece, yeah, yeah, yeah,

670
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:29,560
Speaker 1: next one you I agree with you. I didn't mind

671
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 1: Wentz as a backup. As a backup here is where

672
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:36,080
Speaker 1: I think this talkbacker kind of hits it in terms

673
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:38,080
Speaker 1: of where the starting QB was.

674
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 2: Hey, Paul Nordo.

675
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:43,920
Speaker 15: In my opinion, what went wrong this season the main

676
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 15: thing that went wrong that is, and don't get me wrong,

677
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:51,959
Speaker 15: I'm a huge McCarthy supporter, but the coaching staff overestimating

678
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:55,120
Speaker 15: how ready he was to start and stay healthy is

679
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 15: what ultimately did this team in this year. That plus

680
00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:00,760
Speaker 15: not having a solid backup on him.

681
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 1: This defense, the kicker, Jefferson and Addison for all they

682
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:12,960
Speaker 1: were available, swept the Lions split with the Bears about

683
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:18,080
Speaker 1: a ninety two and a half percenter to sweep the Bears. Yeah,

684
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 1: and some of Quaysy's keys to this historically good defense

685
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:27,240
Speaker 1: Eric Wilson, Isaiah Rodgers, Blake Cashman, Andrew van Ginkel, Jalen Redman.

686
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:30,000
Speaker 1: They didn't let Bira Murphy Junior leave and gave him

687
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 1: a new deal drafted Will reikerd. I mean the Quasi

688
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 1: train did his part with this defense here.

689
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 2: Bernard went healthy.

690
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:40,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, Gernard went healthy, certainly a game changer, tough battle

691
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 3: battle tested here for mister Gernard.

692
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 2: Where did we go wrong. Talk back.

693
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:49,320
Speaker 12: Hey guys, it's Marshall in Minetaka. Here's where we went wrong.

694
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 12: We tried to thread the needle of developing a young

695
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 12: quarterback and winning at the same time. Very hard to do,

696
00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:00,640
Speaker 12: especially when that quarterback did not even get to practice

697
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 12: last year and didn't throw a lot of passes. At Michigan,

698
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:07,720
Speaker 12: Aaron Rodgers was holding out to come here. McCarthy could

699
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:11,120
Speaker 12: have learned behind top five quarterback all time and we

700
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:13,080
Speaker 12: would have been rolling into the playoffs.

701
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:18,479
Speaker 1: Well there's that one with ol A Roger, who I

702
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:22,480
Speaker 1: don't believe. I don't like Pittsburgh to make the playoffs.

703
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 1: I like Baltimore in Sunday Night football. And DK Metcalf

704
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 1: suspended for this final game, right.

705
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:33,479
Speaker 3: He'll be out for that final game, And I wonder

706
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:36,040
Speaker 3: what Lamar's health status was, right, I think that was

707
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:36,880
Speaker 3: a back or something.

708
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 2: A couple of weeks ago.

709
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:42,160
Speaker 1: Right at the end of the game against the Cleveland Browns,

710
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:47,960
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, I'm telling you, I just for an in

711
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:51,680
Speaker 1: a roundabout way, know the guy well enough to say this,

712
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:56,080
Speaker 1: and I'm probably wrong. He was making a point when

713
00:33:56,080 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 1: he threw three consecutive fades to markus Valdez scantling to

714
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:05,680
Speaker 1: tie the game, and Feeling was opened twice. All right,

715
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:08,640
Speaker 1: Feelan beat his guy on like first or second down

716
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:11,600
Speaker 1: slot right, got himself open to the goal line. That's

717
00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:17,360
Speaker 1: going to tie the game. But Aaron it Markquez Valdez

718
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 1: Scantling was running the DK metcalf routes and Rogers kept

719
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:26,120
Speaker 1: fading to him back right to the end zone with

720
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:31,000
Speaker 1: Denzel Ward the best corner for the Browns covering NBS,

721
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:35,479
Speaker 1: and he wouldn't stop. So in other words, it was DK,

722
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:39,080
Speaker 1: look what you've done to us? DK, look what you've

723
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:43,719
Speaker 1: done to us? Or Arthur Smith slash Mike Tomlin. Why

724
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:47,160
Speaker 1: are we putting this guy in the DK metcalf spot? Yeah,

725
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:50,680
Speaker 1: he did it three consecutive times against the best defense,

726
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:54,280
Speaker 1: second best defensive player maybe third, second or third.

727
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:54,680
Speaker 2: The Browns have.

728
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:56,799
Speaker 3: You know, you don't think that he would have the

729
00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 3: autonomy at the line to put to make that change

730
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:02,960
Speaker 3: himself versus having MVS there.

731
00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:05,279
Speaker 1: I don't think Arthur Smith called a place in week

732
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 1: two now, I certainly don't. Aaron gave him all the

733
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:10,719
Speaker 1: week one. Aaron's about himself and he's like, no, we're

734
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:11,440
Speaker 1: gonna do it like this.

735
00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:17,279
Speaker 3: Aaron's not above making a point in a super important game, right, yeah,

736
00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:19,760
Speaker 3: exactly two fingerwagt.

737
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:22,879
Speaker 1: I just couldn't believe that he kept doing the same thing.

738
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:26,600
Speaker 1: And Mark wes valdezk Gantlin had no chance. He wasn't

739
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:28,479
Speaker 1: close to any of them, and he ran the wrong

740
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:29,800
Speaker 1: route on one of them.

741
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 3: This is partially tongue in cheek but also partially serious

742
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:37,319
Speaker 3: learning behind the top five all time, that would be

743
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:41,319
Speaker 3: an unbelievable experience, except it would only be for the

744
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:44,040
Speaker 3: first two weeks. Based on what I watched from the

745
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:47,359
Speaker 3: offensive line those first two weeks, I don't know how

746
00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:52,280
Speaker 3: Rogers walks away unscathed. And it's potentially instead of Wentz

747
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 3: who was making his debut against those Bengals week three,

748
00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:58,799
Speaker 3: it would have been McCarthy making his debut week three

749
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:00,120
Speaker 3: against those Bengals.

750
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:03,080
Speaker 2: Well, decision that was made was made, that is correct.

751
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:07,120
Speaker 1: And Kevin O'Connell tomorrow at eleven o'clock for the final

752
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:11,320
Speaker 1: lexis and o's of the twenty twenty five myriad topics

753
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:13,839
Speaker 1: for the head coach tomorrow, looking forward to it.

754
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:15,960
Speaker 2: One more talkback than we pause.

755
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:21,959
Speaker 16: Let me see here, hey, guys, feel for Maple Grove.

756
00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 6: Quick question.

757
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:24,839
Speaker 16: Do you think if Carson Wentz stayed healthy our record

758
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:28,040
Speaker 16: would have been different? You can't have Max Brosmer as

759
00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:30,480
Speaker 16: a QB two. Maybe that was something they really needed

760
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:32,520
Speaker 16: to look at over the season and bring in a

761
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:34,920
Speaker 16: more of a veteran quarterback. But do you think Carson

762
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:37,319
Speaker 16: went staying healthy would have changed our record and we'd

763
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 16: be in the playoff?

764
00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:38,640
Speaker 2: Just curious.

765
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 16: Thanks guys, have a great day, Happy New Year.

766
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:45,760
Speaker 2: Happy New year. Rosmer caught astray. Yeah, I think the answer.

767
00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:49,400
Speaker 2: I think the answer is almost clearly yes. Yeah.

768
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:51,920
Speaker 1: But I mean that means he would have won in Seattle,

769
00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 1: so and he did win against Detroit, and he did

770
00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:01,440
Speaker 1: fill in and went against the Giants.

771
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 2: Do do we believe if he was fully healthy?

772
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:08,239
Speaker 3: He's not Uh, he's not basically being carted off and

773
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:10,400
Speaker 3: wondering if the coroner is going to show up in

774
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:12,680
Speaker 3: the tunnel with the shoulder bit at the Chargers game.

775
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:16,880
Speaker 3: Always he O'Connell was always going to go to McCarthy

776
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:18,319
Speaker 3: when he was fully healthy, no matter what.

777
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:20,080
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, yeah, So I think it's a push. I

778
00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:22,560

Speaker 5: Dallas Turner was in the mix too.

811
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:57,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, and he wasn't done on Christmas Day paying off

Speaker 1: Thousand Hills. So that's forty six hundred dollars going to

826
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:41,000
Speaker 1: feed my starving children.

827
00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:43,760
Speaker 2: That is antithetical to al.

828
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:46,600
Speaker 3: No, that's true. But I'm watching the night game last night.

829
00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:48,839
Speaker 3: At some point we'll talk about it. What I mean,

830
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:51,520
Speaker 3: unbelievable in the bay last night with Perdy and the

831
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:53,640
Speaker 3: three passing touchdowns. Runs in a couple.

832
00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:54,239
Speaker 5: Uh.

833
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:58,560
Speaker 3: One of those three passing touchdowns though, Tanjas, Tonjas, the

834
00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:01,080
Speaker 3: guy who was playing for you can replace a kittle

835
00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:04,320
Speaker 3: I wanted to use, but I was worried about the ankle.

836
00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:07,920
Speaker 3: I should have just pivoted to tons. Nobody uses tong

837
00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:11,600
Speaker 3: just for feed my starving children. That's okay, now.

838
00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:13,680
Speaker 2: I don't think you should. Juan Johnson was high on

839
00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:14,120
Speaker 2: the list.

840
00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:18,000
Speaker 5: Forty six hundred dollars for feed my starving children?

841
00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:20,480
Speaker 2: All right, all right? Ten thousand foot view.

842
00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:22,800
Speaker 1: Hold on twenty three hundred. Then we got the Thousand

843
00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:26,440
Speaker 1: Hills match. Ten thousand foot view.

844
00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:29,320
Speaker 3: Though, thank you, thank you, Matt and everybody at Thousand Hills.

845
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:32,120
Speaker 3: Harrison Smith. You heard those highlights there, a sack and

846
00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:34,879
Speaker 3: a pick. He can't be done. In the Christmas Day game,

847
00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:37,000
Speaker 3: and I'm not even gonna you know, is he done?

848
00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:37,760
Speaker 2: Is he not? Whatever?

849
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:40,040
Speaker 3: You even kind of alluded to that he talks about

850
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:42,600
Speaker 3: living in the moment. I remember a similar conversation a

851
00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:45,279
Speaker 3: year ago at this time, by the way, or towards

852
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:48,120
Speaker 3: the end of the season, I should say, as the

853
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:50,640
Speaker 3: team played in the playoffs last year. But at any rate,

854
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:54,800
Speaker 3: that brings him to twenty one and a half career sacks.

855
00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:58,480
Speaker 3: You were able to believe, officially cross off that little

856
00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:00,640
Speaker 3: stat that you had on the game call depth chart,

857
00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:02,960
Speaker 3: which was probably the highlight of your day one to

858
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:05,319
Speaker 3: meet you, as you spoke of on Kirs Day for

859
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:08,280
Speaker 3: over a year. It was off there, seeing your kids

860
00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:11,400
Speaker 3: and just everything that went into the day, and getting

861
00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:14,760
Speaker 3: to cross that stat off made for the perfect Christmas.

862
00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:18,520
Speaker 2: He also recorded his thirty ninth career interception. Yeah.

863
00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:21,880
Speaker 3: The reason I bring this up hallowed ground, hallowed territory.

864
00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:25,080
Speaker 3: He is potentially entering here if he picks off Malik

865
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:28,280
Speaker 3: Willis or Clayton Tune on Sunday in the Border Battle,

866
00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:31,279
Speaker 3: that is good for nothing in terms of seeding, as

867
00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:34,080
Speaker 3: the Packers have locked themselves into the seventh seed for

868
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:37,480
Speaker 3: the third consecutive year. He would enter what is referred

869
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:41,080
Speaker 3: to as the forty twenty club. Now, of all clubs,

870
00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:43,279
Speaker 3: there are probably a few that are maybe even more

871
00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:46,640
Speaker 3: exclusive than this. There are only two players in NFL

872
00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:49,520
Speaker 3: history to enter the forty twenty club, which is forty

873
00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:53,399
Speaker 3: or more interceptions and twenty or more sacks. That would

874
00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:58,319
Speaker 3: be Rendez Barber and then Charles Woodson. Ho F, I

875
00:41:58,320 --> 00:41:59,919
Speaker 3: know we're tell you, I don't know what the yard.

876
00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:02,160
Speaker 3: I don't have it in front of me except I

877
00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:05,560
Speaker 3: do he is. Yeah, Operation fifty three would be justin

878
00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:09,279
Speaker 3: Jefferson getting fifty three yards and eclipsing one thousand. But

879
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:12,480
Speaker 3: even more important than that, can we get a pick?

880
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:17,080
Speaker 3: Can we do Operation forty on Sunday in the Border

881
00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:20,759
Speaker 3: Battle boom and noon and get Harrison Smith into the

882
00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:25,560
Speaker 3: I mean as exclusive as you can ask for forty

883
00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:28,240
Speaker 3: twenty club historically in the NFL.

884
00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:31,840
Speaker 2: Bring on Clayton too, Let's go. Let's padd some stats

885
00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:34,200
Speaker 2: in a week eighteen, no one's gonna remember come off.

886
00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:37,160
Speaker 2: Will green Bay give him a chance? Yeah?

887
00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:43,360
Speaker 1: I mean green Bay, the Bears. What I think the

888
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:45,759
Speaker 1: Bears are going to do? The Lions this weekend should

889
00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:49,040
Speaker 1: be felonious and forty eight states. I mean they might

890
00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:51,920
Speaker 1: try to score seventy, all right now, Dan Campbell put

891
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:54,839
Speaker 1: up fifty two on Ben Johnson week two before Ben

892
00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:59,120
Speaker 1: had that thing going in Chicago. You know, with a

893
00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:03,000
Speaker 1: win or a loss gets the two seed. Emphasis on

894
00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:06,399
Speaker 1: the with a win, which means they get that home

895
00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:10,279
Speaker 1: game against green Bay. So I'm counting on Chicago to win.

896
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:14,000
Speaker 1: Green Bay has nothing for which to play. It could

897
00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:18,520
Speaker 1: be Emmanuel Wilson here, Yeah, third running back there, so

898
00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:21,160
Speaker 1: don't I don't think they're going to give Harrison Smith

899
00:43:21,239 --> 00:43:23,120
Speaker 1: much of a chance to get that, but maybe he

900
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:24,320
Speaker 1: doesn't need much of a chance.

901
00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:27,279
Speaker 3: My goodness, Vikes bits, one more mini bte for you,

902
00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:30,440
Speaker 3: and then we'll pivot to the analyst. The analyst Pete Bursich,

903
00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:32,560
Speaker 3: as soon as he responds to my text and tells

904
00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:33,799
Speaker 3: me whether he's at the.

905
00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:35,919
Speaker 2: Facility, Guy I in the sky.

906
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:40,480
Speaker 3: Though, at Pete Bursch's five to six via YouTube level

907
00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:44,120
Speaker 3: of thought, you have given to the thrill of winning

908
00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:47,560
Speaker 3: four in a row four KO, potentially five in a

909
00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:51,120
Speaker 3: row four KO to end this season, nine and a

910
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:55,879
Speaker 3: record that would be versus the idea of playing a

911
00:43:56,040 --> 00:44:00,239
Speaker 3: third or fourth place schedule in twenty twenty six to

912
00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:04,080
Speaker 3: this end, Passing the Lions in the standings and staying

913
00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:08,160
Speaker 3: there would mean that the Vikings play the Colts instead

914
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:10,960
Speaker 3: of the Titans. It would mean they play the Commanders

915
00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:13,840
Speaker 3: instead of the Giants. I don't see a huge difference

916
00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:16,520
Speaker 3: there at this stage, but all the same, you'd play

917
00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:23,720
Speaker 3: the Rams, Niners or Seahawks instead of the Cardinals. Level

918
00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:28,120
Speaker 3: of thought. You've given the third place schedule or the.

919
00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:29,160
Speaker 2: Fourth place schedule.

920
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:31,800
Speaker 1: Well, when I thought for sure we were going to

921
00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:34,480
Speaker 1: finish in last I hadn't given any thought to the

922
00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:38,320
Speaker 1: third place schedule. And then we get the third place schedule.

923
00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:42,080
Speaker 1: But it's Christmas, yeah, and no feast on Friday, chill

924
00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:44,080
Speaker 1: weekend back on Monday.

925
00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:51,560
Speaker 5: That I don't think it's that precipitous. But nevertheless, it's

926
00:44:51,640 --> 00:44:55,000
Speaker 5: just bad for business. Finishing last Yeah, it's just bad

927
00:44:55,040 --> 00:44:55,680
Speaker 5: for business.

928
00:44:55,680 --> 00:44:57,960
Speaker 2: Man. So I want them to win five in a row.

929
00:44:57,840 --> 00:45:00,600
Speaker 1: Four KO five in a row, four KO five in

930
00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:03,120
Speaker 1: a row, four be flow five in a row or

931
00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:03,720
Speaker 1: B flow?

932
00:45:04,239 --> 00:45:05,480
Speaker 2: Can we do five years?

933
00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:05,680
Speaker 11: Though?

934
00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:09,319
Speaker 2: For B Flow day it's not time. I'm out of bits,
