1
00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:17,599
Speaker 1: My Salic, a couple of thirteen fourteen fast I'm Comedy

2
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 1: Sam were waiting the arrival of the head coach of

3
00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:24,120
Speaker 1: the soon to be Big Game World champion Minnesota Vikings.

4
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 1: It's his regularly scheduled day after the game news conference.

5
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 1: Usually it's twelve thirty, but because of the Sunday night game,

6
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 1: they got in late, so coach needed his beauty.

7
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 2: Sleep, so he probably slept in a little bit.

8
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 1: But he is a schedule to join us here any minute,

9
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:42,199
Speaker 1: not one on one with us, but just join with

10
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 1: all the media members that will be assembled at Winter Park.

11
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 2: I was just reminded of the Michael Parsons injury.

12
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 1: They're showing it on the fifty five inch Tshiba Reggsy here.

13
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 2: I'm one of those people, and I don't know.

14
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:00,959
Speaker 1: I don't know how other fans of teams react when

15
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:04,559
Speaker 1: arch rivals have the players the other team get injured.

16
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 1: If they they not that they they're glad a guy

17
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:09,960
Speaker 1: is hurt, but they go, oh man, that helps us

18
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 1: a lot.

19
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:11,319
Speaker 2: I'm not like that.

20
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 1: I'd rather beat the other team straight up now. If

21
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 1: a key player is hurt, nothing I can do about it,

22
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 1: and it would you know, with Parsons out. That benefits

23
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 1: every team they play. And I know some Packer fans

24
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:27,959
Speaker 1: are doing the woe as us and don't bring it

25
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 1: to this to this show because as a fan of

26
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 1: the Vikings and the Kiddies, both teams have.

27
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 2: Had their fair share of injuries over the years.

28
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 1: All teams have them, you know, it's some to a.

29
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 2: Greater extense than others.

30
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 1: If you remember, last year, Detroit had more defensive injuries

31
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: players lost injury than any other team I think. I

32
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 1: think it may have been in the history of the

33
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: league and won youn. Detroit lost eighteen players last year.

34
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 1: They were calling guys in the middle of the week

35
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 1: and saying, Hey, Sam, I heard you played football back

36
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 1: when you.

37
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 2: Were at Washburn.

38
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 1: You go, yeah, how long ago is that? Twenty years ago?

39
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 1: We still need David show up.

40
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:08,639
Speaker 2: So same thing.

41
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 1: A lot of the Packers just have to play. I

42
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 1: think it's an anterior cruciate ligament tear. He's out, so

43
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 1: its next man up. And the good thing for Kansas

44
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 1: City with Mahomes, he also had a I think same thing,

45
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 1: anterior cruciate knee ligament. He's out for the season, but

46
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 1: for all intents and purposes, Kansas City season's over. I

47
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 1: know they still have games to play, but they were

48
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 1: eliminated from postseason play after the lost yesterday to.

49
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:52,519
Speaker 2: The Chargers, So there you go. It was leading me

50
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,359
Speaker 2: into another NFL oh.

51
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 3: I know.

52
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 1: With the Vikings eliminated from postseason play.

53
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 2: I know for many people that's not as much. I mean,

54
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 2: the A topic now is.

55
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 1: The development of McCarthy. Is he and you'll tell me

56
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 1: when coach is ready, right? McCarthy is is the A

57
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 1: topic right now? How much better will they get?

58
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 2: Been better?

59
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 1: Last couple of weeks. Just talked about it going into

60
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,119
Speaker 1: this last break at the top of the hour.

61
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 2: It seems as though they.

62
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: Mark Craig didn't call it dumbing it down, but maybe

63
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 1: simplifying the offense a little bit, maybe not worrying so

64
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: much about mechanics anymore. Let him just play football. The

65
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: coach even said that going into the Washington game is

66
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 1: playball just you know, I think it was a running

67
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 1: backs coach is the one that's credited with the little

68
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 1: spiel to the team. Just play like your sixteen year

69
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 1: old self. You know that old thing, which is true

70
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: sometimes you know you you know it's your professional at

71
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: your livelihood. There's a lot at stake, but it's at

72
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: the same time, I'm still playing a game of kid's games, So.

73
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 2: I don't even understand.

74
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 1: This is common telling us how virtuous he is. I'm

75
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 1: not virtual. I'm not even viral. I mean, I don't

76
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 1: even know what he's talking about. No, I'm just you

77
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:21,919
Speaker 1: have to explain it to some people, because I'm assuming

78
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 1: the text messager is one of those people that he

79
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 1: roots for injuries on teams that he's against.

80
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 2: He would rather see, he'd rather go.

81
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 1: You know, it's the old marvelous Marvin Hagler when he

82
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:38,839
Speaker 1: saw he fought and stop a hamshow twice. The first

83
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 1: time they stopped the fight and Hamshow, I had to

84
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 1: have I think it was seventy three stitches in his

85
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 1: face to.

86
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 2: Close up the cuts.

87
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 1: And they asked Hagler about it, and he said, I

88
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 1: saw the meat hanging down from around his eyes, but

89
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 1: I thought better him than me, so I kept punching.

90
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 1: So I think that's what this this text messager is.

91
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:58,479
Speaker 1: I just want to separate myself from the You just

92
00:04:58,680 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 1: there are things you have to you have you have

93
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 1: to explain yourself to people, and some people know more

94
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,359
Speaker 1: about you, and you have to separate yourself from the

95
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 1: wheat from the Chaff's a the chaef. The chaef it's

96
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 1: usually used corn starts a worker any kind of talc,

97
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 1: but the telcumpowder, but separating the wheat from the chaff.

98
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 1: And I just want to let you know, I'm not

99
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 1: one of those guys that you know, God, I'm so

100
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:19,280
Speaker 1: glad he got hurt. Is in that great wish she

101
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,679
Speaker 1: would have wish she would have torn the interior cruciated

102
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: like them in both these because those people do exist.

103
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 2: And I'm assuming the text.

104
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 1: Messenger who just well sent me a text on the

105
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 1: Bradshaw Bryan Kfe text line feels that way because he's

106
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 1: not virtuous. I am virtuous, and I don't like to

107
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 1: if if a guy gets injured, that's just the way

108
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:38,599
Speaker 1: it goes. I mean, it's not like I'm gonna I'm

109
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 1: not gonna cry or spilt milk or torn anterior or

110
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 1: interior or exterior cruciate ligaments. But I'd rather beat a

111
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: team when they're when they've got everybody there, because then

112
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 1: there's always that well, the only reason you want is

113
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 1: we're missing five guys. Well, okay, that's that certainly plays

114
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:59,119
Speaker 1: into it, but I'd rather beat him at their best.

115
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 1: That's why I don't like when is load management games.

116
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 1: You know, you're playing a team and their they're load manager,

117
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 1: and say, well, what's that all about?

118
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 4: You know?

119
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 2: But yeah, so I am virtuous. I will.

120
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:12,360
Speaker 1: I will admit to that. I was trying to tell

121
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 1: everybody out virtuous I was. That was the whole intent

122
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 1: of that long rambling dissertation.

123
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:23,720
Speaker 2: Giants, we're on the road right.

124
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 1: We have one road game left and then we have

125
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 1: the two home games, first against Detroit and then against.

126
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 2: Green Bay, and the season I think I think we

127
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 2: can go through.

128
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 1: You know, I think the way the team is playing

129
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 1: and the way they've sort of rallied around McCarthy.

130
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 2: Here's what I'll tell you too. We talked about the teams.

131
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,679
Speaker 1: That are in the desperation mode, and so when people

132
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 1: are handicapping games, you'll hear often.

133
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 2: You'll oftentimes hear team's desperate.

134
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 1: So they expect a better effort from that team because

135
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 1: they're desperate, Like Detroit is desperate, right, they need to

136
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 1: win at home against Pittsburgh. They've got to run the

137
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 1: table and then hope for a little help along the way,

138
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 1: they still have that twenty or twenty five percent chance

139
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 1: of making them play thirty whatever that number is at

140
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 1: eating some other things to go their way. I do

141
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 1: believe that teams are desperate. I don't necessarily believe that

142
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 1: because a team is desperate they have a U that

143
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 1: means they have a better chance to win, because once

144
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 1: a team becomes desperate, there's a reason they're desperate, because

145
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 1: they're not very good and they put themselves in a

146
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 1: bad situation. I do believe in the when your team

147
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 1: has got nothing to play for anymore. As far as

148
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 1: postseason play, it's easier to play Lucy goosey and take chances.

149
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 2: And have have coaches.

150
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 1: Go forward on fourth down when they might not, or

151
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 1: try a trickeration player, or don't be fearful of calling

152
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 1: a more wide open game, because what's the difference. At

153
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 1: this point, you're just trying to play out the string.

154
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 1: In the case of the Vikings, you're trying to get

155
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 1: your quarterback more experience, more situations in which he is

156
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 1: facing third and long and facing longer odds, without the games,

157
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 1: the end result of the game and the grand scheme

158
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,599
Speaker 1: of things making any difference. If the Vikings lose the

159
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 1: next three or win the next three, and it has

160
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 1: no bearing on anything except where they selected the upcoming

161
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:47,560
Speaker 1: NFL draft.

162
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 2: That's the one thing that will affect.

163
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:53,199
Speaker 1: I guess teams can feel players can feel good about

164
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 1: themselves going into the offseason if they screen together some wins.

165
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: I guess you could feel bad about yourself if you

166
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 1: lose three or four in a row at the end

167
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 1: of the season.

168
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:03,680
Speaker 2: I don't.

169
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 1: I think players are pretty resilient once that season has

170
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 1: put away. You know, if the Vikings lose three in

171
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 1: a row, I don't think it's woe as me. You know,

172
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 1: we're a terrible team in a terrible city with a terrible fan.

173
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 1: I think they go into next year. But I do

174
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 1: think I think it's unless you're if you're a team

175
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 1: that's in desperation mode, I think, as I said, there's

176
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 1: a reason you're there, and that's where the struggle becomes.

177
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 2: And the team that is like the Vikings.

178
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 1: That's why I think the Vikings will probably bode well.

179
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:32,719
Speaker 1: The Giants game is probably a coin flip because the

180
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 1: Giants have nothing going for me. The Mea is dark

181
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 1: to see still playing. I know he's been hurt. I'm

182
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 1: not sure if he's still playing or not. But they're

183
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,959
Speaker 1: breaking in their rookie quarterbacks, so they're trying to accomplish

184
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 1: some of the same things the Vikings are is they're

185
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 1: trying to give their young quarterback as much experience as

186
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 1: he can get. Once Detroit comes to town, I would

187
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 1: expect the Vikings to to beat Detroit, and whether Detroit

188
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 1: has anything to play for or not, they've already beat

189
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,320
Speaker 1: him once this year. The Vikings can play loosey goosey,

190
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 1: and then the green Bay game will all depend abou him.

191
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 1: Green Bay has anything to play for as far as

192
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:12,320
Speaker 1: playoff position, whether it be a number one seed, whether

193
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 1: it be a seventh seed, or.

194
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 2: Somewhere in between. So the head coach is not shown

195
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 2: up yet. Well let's do this.

196
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 1: Let's break because we don't want to get too far behind.

197
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:21,960
Speaker 1: We'll take a break. The coach is late, want a shock,

198
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 1: We'll break, We'll come back. And what we do we

199
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 1: should have the head coach of the Vikings live from

200
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:29,960
Speaker 1: winter Park for his day after the game news conference

201
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 1: here on the fan. One thing we missed is we

202
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 1: go to the Kevin O'Connell news conference in prose in progress.

203
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 2: Grenard was having shoulder surgeries out for the year. But

204
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 2: here's the head coach, Kevin O'Connell in progress.

205
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 5: He denied, you know, when when he got his strength

206
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 5: and got you know, got what he needed to be

207
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 5: cleared to play, he was back on the field, even

208
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:00,079
Speaker 5: going a few weeks back to you know, minimal snap

209
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 5: and then building it up from there. It was something

210
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 5: he was playing through, not something that he knew. He

211
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:06,959
Speaker 5: would not be able to kind of put this behind

212
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 5: him until probably, uh, you know, he got it fixed,

213
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,439
Speaker 5: you know, at you know, whenever that was going to be,

214
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 5: and just you know, looking at the kind of coming

215
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 5: out of it and reaggravating it and just if it

216
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 5: feels like the best time to do that now, specifically

217
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 5: after all the things that that I just mentioned and

218
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 5: what he's what he's meant to us.

219
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:30,680
Speaker 6: You expect Christian Derris on being back at some point.

220
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, we're gonna you know, he had some swelling in there,

221
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:36,680
Speaker 5: you know, during the week and and just couldn't quite

222
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,200
Speaker 5: get there. I say, you know, I would just say

223
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 5: it's a it's a week to week kind of what

224
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 5: that week is going to look like right now, But

225
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 5: but yeah, I'm hoping we we we we get him

226
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:48,839
Speaker 5: back in there at some point.

227
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:52,560
Speaker 3: And that's all related to the original Yeah, No, it's

228
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:54,839
Speaker 3: just it's just part of it. You know. He he

229
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:56,320
Speaker 3: had a very significant injury.

230
00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:00,160
Speaker 5: He's absolutely worked his tail off throughout the lead up,

231
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 5: the off season, the rehab. It's it's been a it's

232
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 5: been a heck of a year for him.

233
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:07,319
Speaker 3: I've you know, been really.

234
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:10,080
Speaker 5: Proud of the way he's attacked the rehab side of

235
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 5: things and really trying to do whatever he could to

236
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 5: build up throughout the season.

237
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 3: It just was kind of something.

238
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:19,560
Speaker 5: We knew going into it could be, you know, very

239
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:24,199
Speaker 5: unpredictable really, you know, coming out of significant snaps in

240
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:27,319
Speaker 5: one game versus others, and then where he'd be at

241
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:28,080
Speaker 5: at the end of the week.

242
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 3: We've tried to create a plan to manage it.

243
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 5: As best as possible, but it's it's, you know, just

244
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:37,319
Speaker 5: part of it. For for what this season has kind

245
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 5: of been for Christian, I don't think I don't think

246
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,440
Speaker 5: this is going to be anything that uh, you know,

247
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:46,559
Speaker 5: will be a part of his future here. I think

248
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,679
Speaker 5: he's gonna be able to, you know, with time and

249
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 5: with the significant injury he had. I do think we're

250
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,200
Speaker 5: gonna be able to put this in the rearview mirror here,

251
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 5: but at this point it's kind of a day to

252
00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 5: day process for for all of us to see where

253
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 5: we can get them to for for each and every game.

254
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 6: On the tape from last night, what stood out to

255
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 6: you about kind of the passing game, what you guys.

256
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 7: Were doing well, I thought, I thought the explosive side

257
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:16,560
Speaker 7: of things, you know, I think the we might had

258
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:20,680
Speaker 7: seven plus fifteen yard games that they were kind of

259
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 7: all a little different if you're looking at it.

260
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 5: You know, there were some examples of, uh, some coverage

261
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 5: being rolled to Justin on a third down and we

262
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:29,960
Speaker 5: get we get Addison over the top for a potential

263
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 5: touchdown chance there they got them down there inside the five.

264
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 5: But then there was some you know, some unique things

265
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 5: with some bigger groupings to to try to activate, you know,

266
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:42,680
Speaker 5: some different different types of things that that we've done

267
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:45,440
Speaker 5: in the past, but just kind of seemed to, you know,

268
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:48,559
Speaker 5: kind of be a scenario where it was a balance, Right,

269
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 5: it's a really talented front. You're trying your you know,

270
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 5: you don't have your left tackle in the game. Really

271
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 5: talented interior so you're kind of play to play kind

272
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 5: of trying to navigate a world where you get those

273
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 5: plays and you have a chance to have some of

274
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:06,079
Speaker 5: those you know, chunk chunk completions to kind of stack

275
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:09,440
Speaker 5: some positives, but at the same time, see if you

276
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 5: can take some significant chunks and not have to drive

277
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:15,680
Speaker 5: it against that front, you know, twelve thirteen, fourteen plays.

278
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:17,560
Speaker 3: And that's what I thought we did well.

279
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 5: I thought we ran it just well enough to kind

280
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 5: of weather kind of the snap to snap storm and

281
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 5: not have to you know, be totally you know, off

282
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 5: balance one way or the other run or pass. And

283
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 5: then I thought there were some great, great examples of

284
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 5: just decision making from JJ you know, trying to activate

285
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 5: some play passes down the field, he checks the ball

286
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 5: down a couple of times, Aaron.

287
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 3: Jones for Game eight, Gain five.

288
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 5: Just little things like that that allowed us to continue

289
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 5: to kind of use some of those completions as extensions

290
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 5: of our run game in a lot of ways, and

291
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 5: doing it out of different groupings. And then you know,

292
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 5: finding some space you know, maybe on the edges at times,

293
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 5: either on some design kind of throws or some unique

294
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 5: run run concepts that give us a chance to find

295
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 5: some space because it was hard to come by against

296
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 5: that front with those with those three guys in there,

297
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 5: and and they got you know, Clowney. Clowney was impactful

298
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 5: on the edges. And they've got you know, Fowlor and

299
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 5: the rookie from Boston College as well.

300
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 3: So it's a really good front. Backers all run really well.

301
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 5: So we knew it was going to be a different

302
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 5: kind of game than maybe some of the other games

303
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 5: where we've been able to lean on the run game

304
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 5: a little bit, but we wanted to try to stay

305
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 5: balanced enough to allow those those explosives to come our way,

306
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 5: and we were able to do that.

307
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 8: All the analytics, are you able to look at healthy

308
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 8: offensive line, see does any correlation between JJ plays and

309
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 8: as a quarterback, what do you tell him, you know,

310
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 8: Garrisow is not in Do you say forget that, expect

311
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 8: the same performers out of whatever we're playing left tack

312
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 8: or how do you manage through that conference standpoint?

313
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 3: Well, we we we played differently, you know.

314
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 5: We we try to you know, have a plan, especially

315
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 5: when we you know, when when we determined that Christian

316
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 5: wasn't going to be able to go, you know, we

317
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 5: can we can have a plan and kind of a

318
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 5: method to how we want to play where the quarterbacks

319
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 5: shouldn't have to think about that a whole lot, whether

320
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 5: that's having some extra help over there, or where we're

321
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 5: where we're directing the slide, where we're where we're kind

322
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 5: of using our resources.

323
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 3: We do have to try to make sure.

324
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 5: We can maximize the amount of times we can give

325
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 5: him a couple of clean hitches to to hopefully find

326
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 5: some some open guys down the field. I did think

327
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 5: his pocket movement, you know, whether it was you know,

328
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 5: on some of those get back on trackdowns where they

329
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 5: made some plays early in the game in the run

330
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 5: game for some negatives and we had to try to

331
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 5: get back on track, he you know, moved up and out.

332
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 3: I think the significance of moving up.

333
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 5: And then out of the pocket was on display a

334
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 5: couple of runs he had, you know, before the fourth

335
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 5: down touchdown, he had, you know, that scramble to almost

336
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 5: score was going up going forward, and then even the

337
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 5: early in the game second and long, you know, he

338
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:07,679
Speaker 5: gets up and out and finds TJ out on the

339
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 5: boundary for a conversion on a second and long. Just

340
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 5: simple plays like that that you know, are him doing

341
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 5: his job at a high level, and but but doing

342
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 5: his job and not thinking he has to try to

343
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:24,359
Speaker 5: overcome it by you know, maybe stepping outside the realm

344
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 5: of of you know, what he's being asked to do

345
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 5: on a play. And I think he's over these last

346
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 5: two weeks, he's really just locked into that mentality, and

347
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:36,919
Speaker 5: I think he's seeing if I, you know, if I

348
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 5: do those things and I play each snap as their own,

349
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:41,960
Speaker 5: I'm gonna get some opportunities down the field, and even

350
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 5: when we don't hit them all, you know, he's he's

351
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 5: he's making some really high level throws and I thought

352
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 5: that was on full display. I was really really proud

353
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,359
Speaker 5: of the way he threw the football last night, even

354
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 5: though you know there's there's always gonna be things you

355
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 5: go back and say this throw or that throw, or

356
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 5: this connection with this guy, but as a whole played

357
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 5: at a winning, winning level, and he now has for

358
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:07,160
Speaker 5: the last eight quarters.

359
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 3: And and pair that.

360
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:11,440
Speaker 5: With you know, guys doing doing some good things around him,

361
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:13,679
Speaker 5: and we're starting to function a little bit on offense.

362
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,679
Speaker 1: The throw to Jefferson in the back of the end

363
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 1: zone that just had a little bit too much heat

364
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:19,440
Speaker 1: on it.

365
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:22,399
Speaker 5: Uh yeah, it was you know, I you know, I

366
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:24,160
Speaker 5: think Jets would probably be the first one to tell

367
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 5: you he can make that play. And and but yeah

368
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:29,359
Speaker 5: he it had it had some sauce on it for sure.

369
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:33,880
Speaker 5: And you know that's a going to the right place

370
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:37,160
Speaker 5: with the ball. You know, everything everything about it's right.

371
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:38,920
Speaker 5: We just got to find a way to pitch and catch.

372
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:43,679
Speaker 6: That one this year when you win last night, you

373
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:45,359
Speaker 6: went in Detroit, you went in Chicago.

374
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean you just you know, you just look

375
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 5: at uh you know, we're we're off to a pretty

376
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 5: good start in December. Playing December football is always an

377
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 5: important regardless.

378
00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:00,240
Speaker 3: Of what your record is. But you you do think about.

379
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:03,440
Speaker 5: Out you know, you know the curse I have is

380
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:07,679
Speaker 5: thinking about that one low red zone play. You know

381
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 5: against Atlanta we might have had a chance to score,

382
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 5: but we you know we we we don't. And or

383
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 5: play against Chicago that could have changed that game Baltimore, Phil.

384
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 5: You just start thinking about games throughout the year, and

385
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:24,440
Speaker 5: it circles back to, you know, just what this year

386
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 5: has kind of been and overcoming some things that we're

387
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:30,159
Speaker 5: outside of our control. But you know, starts with me

388
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:32,360
Speaker 5: of making sure, we're doing all the things in our

389
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:34,919
Speaker 5: control to try to give ourselves a chance and the

390
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,639
Speaker 5: best possible chance to win as many games as you

391
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 5: possibly go. The one and O thing is real because

392
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:42,680
Speaker 5: if you if you look at that one game, you're

393
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 5: really talking about going one to oh that week and

394
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:47,879
Speaker 5: what where could we have been at this point.

395
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 3: But that's why I'm so proud.

396
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 5: Of our team and just kind of where we're at

397
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 5: right now because these guys, it's in many ways you

398
00:19:57,480 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 5: play this game to get in the dance and have

399
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 5: a chance to try.

400
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 3: To compete for a championship.

401
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:05,120
Speaker 5: But also, as I've told them multiple times this year,

402
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 5: you can learn a lot about yourself and the guys

403
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:09,760
Speaker 5: you go to go to work with every day by

404
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 5: how we handle ourselves in these moments. And I think

405
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 5: there's constant demonstration right now of our team being made

406
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 5: of the right stuff.

407
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:20,879
Speaker 8: Paul mentioned Paul and he coached, he played for Paul Brown,

408
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:24,439
Speaker 8: he coaching Bud Grant, Bill Walsh, you know, and he

409
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 8: was such a cerebral guy.

410
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:28,200
Speaker 2: Did you cap into did you ask him a.

411
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 8: Lot about those guys and most people? And was there

412
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:33,680
Speaker 8: anybody in particular that you used as walking out.

413
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:34,200
Speaker 3: Yeah.

414
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 5: I just remember when I was when I was having

415
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 5: my weekly lunch lunches with Bud with Coach Grant back

416
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:46,800
Speaker 5: in twenty two, There'd be some times where Coach Grant

417
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:49,639
Speaker 5: would say some things to me and I didn't want to,

418
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 5: you know, be the young, annoying first year head coach

419
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 5: and fire a question back of him, so I would

420
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:58,440
Speaker 5: log it away and make sure I go went and found.

421
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 3: Wiggs and asked him what exactly did he mean by that?

422
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:05,680
Speaker 5: But just even even being around you know, him in

423
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 5: draft meetings when he would talk about past rushers and

424
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 5: how he saw it and he had evaluated everybody, and

425
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 5: and you're listening to him and what you know, how

426
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 5: his eye saw the game, and just the wealth of

427
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 5: knowledge and experience. But you mentioned it, the cerebralness to him.

428
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:25,119
Speaker 3: He had an unbelievable way.

429
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 5: About him of of kind of you know, picking his spots.

430
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 5: But at the same time, you found yourself going, you know,

431
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:36,199
Speaker 5: wanting to hear more and more from him. And and uh,

432
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 5: like I said, it's it was. It's been a really

433
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 5: cool part of this job. Not all the time I

434
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:45,359
Speaker 5: got to spend with Coach Grant before before he passed away,

435
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 5: but just having Wigs in the building and being around him,

436
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:49,720
Speaker 5: I know made us all better.

437
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,119
Speaker 6: What's been the challenges You're trying to get just in

438
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 6: the ball and trying to balance like the way coverage

439
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 6: is playing him, but also just wanting to get him

440
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:03,160
Speaker 6: as involved speaking and everybody.

441
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:05,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you know, there's.

442
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:10,400
Speaker 5: I'm not sure the number fifty one maybe plays and

443
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 5: twenty seven of those are rushing attempts and you're trying

444
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 5: to activate some things and those plays just when you

445
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,879
Speaker 5: don't have the normal volume of plays. And now we

446
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:23,160
Speaker 5: had a really good yards port yards per play last

447
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 5: night and had some chunks and some explosives, but a

448
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:28,879
Speaker 5: lot of those came you know at at you know,

449
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 5: you know, with how they were playing and we can

450
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 5: I did think we had some good ops.

451
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:36,200
Speaker 3: You know, we talked about Justin and the en zone there.

452
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:38,400
Speaker 5: You know, we had him in against man and man

453
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 5: on a on a kind of a deep crossing route

454
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:43,640
Speaker 5: another time that that you know, you'd like to see.

455
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 5: Those Those have been kind of plays that when we

456
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 5: get that one chance that's that sometimes can be the

457
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:52,440
Speaker 5: chance for Justin for a sequence of twenty to twenty

458
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 5: five plays where there's not a safety leaning to them,

459
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 5: there's not a double team, there's not a cloud coverage

460
00:22:58,080 --> 00:22:58,880
Speaker 5: rolling to him.

461
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:02,400
Speaker 3: So you know, when when those when when.

462
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:05,120
Speaker 5: Those aren't when you're second and ten after those plays,

463
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 5: it does feel a little bit more significant than just

464
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 5: you know, a standard get back on track play. But

465
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 5: like I said, Justin still doing all the things required

466
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 5: for us to win. And nobody wants to make those

467
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:23,160
Speaker 5: plays more than Justin, and nobody wants to make those

468
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,359
Speaker 5: throws more than JJ and and we just got to

469
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:28,359
Speaker 5: continue to try to find ways to allow Justin to

470
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:31,239
Speaker 5: impact the game. I thought we found them, you know, uh,

471
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:34,439
Speaker 5: you know, we created four by one one time and

472
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:36,359
Speaker 5: got them, got them a look in the red zone.

473
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 5: We you know, we tried to you know, have a

474
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:40,920
Speaker 5: couple alerts to them in the process and maybe then

475
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,360
Speaker 5: throwing some screens. So we're we're just gonna always try

476
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,119
Speaker 5: to find ways where we're not going to miss an op.

477
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:47,120
Speaker 3: And I think.

478
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 5: He he got an ample amount of targets for kind

479
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:52,480
Speaker 5: of the game that it was considering the total number

480
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:56,719
Speaker 5: of past attempts we had. But but we absolutely are

481
00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:58,680
Speaker 5: are on the hunt to have our best player as

482
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 5: involved as we possibly can.

483
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:04,119
Speaker 6: The defense hasn't a lot of passage touchdown five games.

484
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 1: I guess just what's clicked in that stretch for.

485
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think they there's been a really really good

486
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 5: combination of the marriage of our pressure packages, coverages, and

487
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 5: then you know, getting the quarterback off the spot. Even

488
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 5: on plays where we're maybe not in a full send

489
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 5: it mode where we're getting the quarterback off the spot,

490
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 5: that's the interior guys, that's JG.

491
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 3: Dallas Gink.

492
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 5: You know, whether it's one of the backers going on

493
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 5: a simulated pressure where we're only bringing forward, but we're

494
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 5: bringing one of those guys and dropping somebody out. It's

495
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:41,919
Speaker 5: been a really good combination of all those things. And

496
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 5: then specifically speaking to Harrison Smith last night, it felt

497
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:49,200
Speaker 5: like it during the game, felt like it just listening

498
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:51,640
Speaker 5: to the calls and then kind of how things played out.

499
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:55,199
Speaker 5: But the game within the game that Harrison was playing

500
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 5: was was as special as you know, maybe any game

501
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:02,400
Speaker 5: since I've been here, as far as against the quarterback

502
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 5: like that and an offense and weapons that they have,

503
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 5: and he's really in total control and command of what

504
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:11,199
Speaker 5: the final call kind of is there based upon his

505
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 5: assessment of what Dak's trying to get to and there's

506
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:18,880
Speaker 5: some back and forth going on there. As a as

507
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 5: a self proclaimed football nerd, it was pretty fun to

508
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 5: watch for sure.

509
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:27,439
Speaker 2: Thank you guys, Yeah, thank you too. And there we

510
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:33,719
Speaker 2: have it. That's the uh, that's the UH.

513
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 1: game news conference.

514
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:44,159
Speaker 2: Well break, we'll come back. We'll have all the reaction

515
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 2: to all of the news conference action.

516
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 1: Next, common Man bro Rum, you're on the fan all.

517
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,920
Speaker 1: What's more fun than a barrel of monkeys? It's flop,

518
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 1: sweat and tears. Petty Theft Tour Episode number two will

Speaker 1: We thank the folks on the Legion for at the

526
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 1: Eagles Club for opening their doors for us.

527
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 2: If you remember earlier in the gram, I don't know.

528
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:37,159
Speaker 1: It was a couple of segments ago I mentioned that

529
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 1: when Michael Parsons was injured. I know there are there

530
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 1: are there's a group of fans out there that have

531
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:47,440
Speaker 1: issues that if you're a and look at my favorite

532
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:49,920
Speaker 1: teams are the Vikings, the Lions and whoever is playing

533
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:54,640
Speaker 1: the Packers, right, But I don't like seeing players get injured.

534
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 1: It's it's it's they're laying on the line. Guys are

535
00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 1: laying on the line, they're in the trenches, they're in

536
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 1: a training room. It's bandway, it really is. So I

537
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:05,880
Speaker 1: had one text messager say, there goes common telling us

538
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:06,960
Speaker 1: how virtuous he is.

539
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:09,360
Speaker 3: So then.

540
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:13,480
Speaker 1: I mentioned on the air he's one of those guys

541
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:19,200
Speaker 1: that probably was cheering the injury of Mike Parsons and

542
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 1: probably roots for players to get hurt if his team

543
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:24,960
Speaker 1: a better chance to win. He writes, wrong, of course,

544
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:27,199
Speaker 1: and I text back, of course, thanks for letting us

545
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:29,120
Speaker 1: know how virtuous you are, because that's what he just did.

546
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 1: He said he doesn't, so he's telling me how virtuous

547
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 1: he is. He did exactly what he accused me of.

548
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 1: Then he says, I'm not virtuous. I just want the

549
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:41,080
Speaker 1: Vikings to win so bad. I don't care how it happens.

550
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:43,879
Speaker 1: So in other words, he's guilty of exactly what I

551
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 1: accused him of, of being a person that actually roots

552
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:52,359
Speaker 1: for physical and bodily harm other to opponent players, which

553
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:59,160
Speaker 1: my only response would be sad. Really, it was mentioned

554
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:01,120
Speaker 1: we missed it in the news conference because our timing

555
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 1: wasn't exactly right to get to the head coach after

556
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:06,439
Speaker 1: we took a break. He started shortly thereafter. But the

557
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:08,879
Speaker 1: one thing we missed in the news conference was that

558
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:13,920
Speaker 1: Jonathan Grenard is out for the season at shoal. Remember

559
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 1: he came up with the shoulder injury yesterday. He's going

560
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 1: to have shoulder surgery. So Jonathan Garnard out for the

561
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:21,160
Speaker 1: rest of the season for the soon to be Big

562
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:23,720
Speaker 1: Game World champion Minnesota Vikings say, I don't know if.

563
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:27,120
Speaker 2: You're a big individual awards guy.

564
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 1: You know you have most valuable player awards, and for instance,

565
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 1: our new defenseman, the Quinn Hughes character won the Norris Trophy.

566
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 1: I think that's for best defenseman in the league.

567
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:37,640
Speaker 2: He won it last year.

568
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 1: You know, I'm not against them, but I don't put

569
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 1: a lot of stock into them because I don't even

570
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 1: know what it really proves or what it even means.

571
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 2: I mean who is very subjective.

572
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:55,920
Speaker 1: First of all, I mean you have, like I think

573
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 1: in most of the Major League Baseball, right, I think

574
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 1: in all of the awards the MVPs. Isn't it generally

575
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 1: the media that makes those selections. I don't think it's

576
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 1: like general managers or coaches or players. I think all

577
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:13,120
Speaker 1: of these are determined by members of the media. And

578
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:19,480
Speaker 1: over the weekend, one of the pre eminent individual awards

579
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 1: was handed out, the Heisman Trophy. Yes, and the winner

580
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,240
Speaker 1: was the kid from is it Mendoza?

581
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 9: Yeah, Fernando Mendoza.

582
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:32,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, Mendoza wins it. Quarterback for Indiana. They're undefeated, eleven

583
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:33,680
Speaker 1: o number one team in the country. They won the

584
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 1: Big Ten. Maybe they're twelve to no. Now they won

585
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 1: the Big Ten championship by beating previously number one. Right,

586
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 1: it was number one, agains number two. Ohio State was

587
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 1: number one. The Ohio State was number one, Indiana was

588
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 1: number two. And really good football game I enjoyed. I

589
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 1: watched us start to finish. Indiana won the game and

590
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 1: they became number one. Mendoza's their quarterback, hands up winning

591
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 1: the Heisman Trophy. Does he deserve it? I guess it

592
00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:00,080
Speaker 1: could have gone to I think there's five fine the

593
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:01,960
Speaker 1: list for the Heisman. If I'm not mistaken in any

594
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:07,720
Speaker 1: of the five were probably deserving. Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavilla

595
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 1: wasn't real happy that he wasn't selected, and he's now

596
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 1: since apologized for his reaction. This is an Associated Press

597
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 1: story that says Vandy quarterback Diego Pavilla has apologized for

598
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 1: his comments. After finishing second in the Heisman. Mendoza earned

599
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 1: two three hundred and sixty two points, including six hundred

600
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 1: and forty three first place votes. Pavilla was was next

601
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 1: in line at one four hundred and thirty five.

602
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 2: I guess there were four finalists, not five or four.

603
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 1: After the ceremony, Diego reposted an Instagram story of himself

604
00:30:56,320 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 1: in his offensive line captioned f all the voters, but

605
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 1: family for life. He also reposted comments from Skip Bayless

606
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:10,800
Speaker 1: on social media, stating that the Van Dey signal callers

607
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 1: should have won the award and seemingly throwing a jab

608
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:18,320
Speaker 1: Atmandoza six minutes acceptance speech. Diego was photographed at a

609
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 1: club later that night with a sign reading f Indiana

610
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 1: in his section. Then he apologized, I think his handlers,

611
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 1: family members, coaches, teammates, friends told him, dude, this is

612
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:29,480
Speaker 1: a bad look.

613
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:31,720
Speaker 2: You're gonna get drafted in the NFL.

614
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:35,960
Speaker 1: These are the things that can prevent you from being

615
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:39,360
Speaker 1: at number one overall pick and sliding to the fifth round.

616
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:44,040
Speaker 1: Don't be acting like an idiot, so he said. He

617
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 1: he said, being a part of the Heisman ceremony last

618
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:49,040
Speaker 1: night as a finalist was such an honor as a competitor,

619
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:51,040
Speaker 1: just like in everything I do, I wanted to win,

620
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 1: to be so close to my dream and come up.

621
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 2: Sure, it was painful.

622
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:58,240
Speaker 1: I didn't handle those emotions well at all and did

623
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 1: not represent myself the way I wanted to. I have

624
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:03,520
Speaker 1: much love and respect for the Heisman voters, of course

625
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 1: you do, and selection process, and I apologize for being disrespectful.

626
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:14,560
Speaker 1: It was a mistake and I am sorry. Well you're

627
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 1: sorry after yourself. What the reaction was when everybody said, dude,

628
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:19,720
Speaker 1: what are you doing? It's that old Southwest Airlines commercial.

629
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 1: Wanted to get away. He wanted to get away.

630
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:25,960
Speaker 2: It's just like dude, And again, it's a it's it's

631
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 2: I know, it's not meaningless. It's a cool award, it's

632
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 2: the best player in college football that year.

633
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:34,160
Speaker 1: It's it's as a matter of fact, when you say

634
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:36,479
Speaker 1: Heisman Trophy, you're supposed to say it in hush tones.

635
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 2: You're supposed to say Mendoza won the Heisman Trophy because

636
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 2: it's such a big deal and it means money too.

637
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:46,760
Speaker 2: I get that.

638
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 1: And you win the Heisman Trophy, endorsement deals, you're always

639
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 1: a Heisman Trophy winning.

640
00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:55,840
Speaker 2: Blah blah blah. But you got to calm him down.

641
00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:56,680
Speaker 3: It's just it's.

642
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 1: It's like what the kids said when he won an

643
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:03,240
Speaker 1: MVP Award. He said, they're handing them out at home depot.

644
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 1: It's not that big of a Deal's the opinion of

645
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:06,960
Speaker 1: a bunch of writers who don't play the game.

646
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 2: I think it is writers that vote. Do you know,

647
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 2: can you look at it and look it up?

648
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 1: Who votes for the Heisman? I think it's media people.

649
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:18,480
Speaker 1: How many voters do they have? I mean, the Indiana

650
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:21,520
Speaker 1: quarterback earned three hundred and sixty two points, including six

651
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 1: hundred and forty three first place votes.

652
00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 2: Why are that many people voting?

653
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:28,680
Speaker 9: So it says here the Heisman Trophy is voted on

654
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 9: by three groups eight hundred and seventy college football media

655
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:35,680
Speaker 9: members vite into six regions, all living former Heisman winners,

656
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 9: and a single aggregated fan vote, creating about nine hundred

657
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:39,880
Speaker 9: and thirty twle of votes.

658
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 2: Oh okay, so the fans get a piece of it too.

659
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:46,200
Speaker 9: Would you say that the Heisman is the most of

660
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 9: all the individual awards, the most prestigious. I think you

661
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:52,320
Speaker 9: can make a case that it is.

662
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 1: I would think City Pages Gadfly of the Year was

663
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 1: the most prestigious, and I won that in nineteen ninety eight.

664
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:04,400
Speaker 2: You know what a gadfly is, I'm very familiar. You're

665
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 2: looking at it. That's right. I can tell you exactly

666
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:08,000
Speaker 2: I can.

667
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 1: I want you to look up gadfly the definition, and

668
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what it.

669
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:13,560
Speaker 2: Says before you even before you read it.

670
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:17,000
Speaker 1: Gadfly somebody who is persistently annoying.

671
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:20,040
Speaker 2: It's what does it say?

672
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 9: A gadfly is literally a biting fly that annoys livestock.

673
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:25,799
Speaker 1: And then does it have a second one that says

674
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:27,320
Speaker 1: somebody who is persistently annoying?

675
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:30,920
Speaker 9: Oh yeah, I gotta go to the other definitions. Yes,

676
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:33,400
Speaker 9: as a person who interferes with the status quo of

677
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:34,480
Speaker 9: society of your community.

678
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:35,799
Speaker 2: Oh blah blah blah.

679
00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:37,279
Speaker 9: Yeah, an irritating person.

680
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:39,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm irritating and I'm proud of it.

681
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:41,560
Speaker 1: And I do fight the status quo just because somebody

682
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:43,319
Speaker 1: tells me something, I don't just follow in line.

683
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 2: Well, yes, that's what it is, what it's supposed to be.

684
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:49,200
Speaker 1: In other words, well, desperate team means they're gonna win,

685
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:51,200
Speaker 1: they're gonna play better. No, it doesn't. There's a reason

686
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:53,480
Speaker 1: they're desperate. So you've got to think that the esoteric

687
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:56,399
Speaker 1: approach and say, well, why are they desperate because they've

688
00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 1: put themselves in a terrible situation.

689
00:34:58,200 --> 00:34:59,240
Speaker 2: How did they get in that situation?

690
00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:02,040
Speaker 1: Because they're not very good and they should probably started

691
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:04,880
Speaker 1: playing with desperation week one rather than waiting two week sixteen.

692
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:11,800
Speaker 2: So that's what my response to that would be. So, yeah,

693
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 2: I the the heisman thing is. I mean, for instance,

694
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:24,640
Speaker 2: I'll give you another.

695
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:27,200
Speaker 1: I don't like to talk about myself, and I don't

696
00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:30,200
Speaker 1: like to use myself as an example.

697
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:30,200
Speaker 7: Or a.

698
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:38,480
Speaker 1: Or a comparison. You know, I just generally don't earn

699
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:40,400
Speaker 1: an analogy. But I'm gonna I'm gonna make an exception

700
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:46,080
Speaker 1: right here. Recently, a website called the sixty four dot Com.

701
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:47,000
Speaker 2: They're there there.

702
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's one person, two people, a

703
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:51,200
Speaker 1: bunch of people together, a website.

704
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:51,920
Speaker 2: Have you heard about it?

705
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:55,680
Speaker 1: I'm not. It's well, you don't need I'll explain what

706
00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:57,680
Speaker 1: it is. It's the sixty four dot com. And what

707
00:35:57,719 --> 00:36:00,840
Speaker 1: they do is they have they makes sort of like

708
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:03,640
Speaker 1: with a preposter statement tournament. We created a bracket like

709
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:06,400
Speaker 1: the NCAA tournament where we have sixty four proposter statements

710
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:08,560
Speaker 1: and the listeners vote on it right, and we've done it,

711
00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:15,239
Speaker 1: I don't know, six seven times, and so some some

712
00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 1: some dude dodebt bro Sis came up with the idea

713
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:21,680
Speaker 1: to do it for all sorts of things.

714
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 2: They do it for, like I read the example that they.

715
00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:28,960
Speaker 1: That they had on a web that their website something

716
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:30,920
Speaker 1: they said, you know, some of the ones they've done before,

717
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:33,200
Speaker 1: like the best sandwich in Philadelphia, you know, I mean

718
00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 1: they I mean, think of all the things you could

719
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:38,839
Speaker 1: put into a sixty four team or item I guess

720
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:42,919
Speaker 1: would be item item bracket, whether it's teams, whether it's sandwiches, restaurants,

721
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:44,000
Speaker 1: whatever the case may be.

722
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:48,600
Speaker 2: So they did one recently, the sixty.

723
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:55,080
Speaker 1: Four bracket for pot sports talk shows slash podcasts and

724
00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 1: where they how they decided on the sixty four if

725
00:36:57,520 --> 00:37:01,320
Speaker 1: they had if they had one person and two people,

726
00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:06,680
Speaker 1: six seven people, thirteen fourteen. Select three shows from the

727
00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:10,880
Speaker 1: fan were selected nationwide to be participate in this. It

728
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:15,160
Speaker 1: was The Common Man Program, the Paul Allen Project, in

729
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:16,279
Speaker 1: the Power Trip Morning Show.

730
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:21,440
Speaker 2: And amongst the other sixty one were.

731
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 1: Colin Coward right, he's heard he's national, right, Pat McAfee

732
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:31,319
Speaker 1: another national one, Mike and the mad Dog all you know,

733
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:35,360
Speaker 1: Mike Rue I think his name is Michael Russo, And

734
00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 1: all of these people were in national and locals. There

735
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:44,720
Speaker 1: was a lot of locals too well. Lo and behold,

736
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:47,360
Speaker 1: I get to the Sweet sixteen and who do I

737
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:50,239
Speaker 1: square off against the Power Trip Morning Show? We were

738
00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:52,280
Speaker 1: in the same bracket. We were in the metropolitan division.

739
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:59,040
Speaker 1: This probably come as a surprise to you. It should

740
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:02,680
Speaker 1: the Power Trip. Now, when you listen to the two

741
00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 1: shows and compare them for content, preparate, positivet.

742
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:16,000
Speaker 2: Professionalist.

743
00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:20,680
Speaker 1: If you put those two, there's nobody in the right

744
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:22,640
Speaker 1: mind who would say the Power Trip is a better

745
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:28,680
Speaker 1: show slash podcast than the Common Man Program?

746
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:30,600
Speaker 2: Is there not?

747
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:31,239
Speaker 9: That I'm aware of?

748
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 2: Should I tweeted out and fall the voters. I mean,

749
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:42,160
Speaker 2: that's childish.

750
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:42,960
Speaker 3: Now.

751
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:44,640
Speaker 1: If I knew who some of those voters were, I'd

752
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:47,600
Speaker 1: slash the tires on their car. But I'm not gonna it,

753
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 1: says I took it in stride when we all know

754
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:54,240
Speaker 1: I should have won. How I didn't. I mean, certainly

755
00:38:54,239 --> 00:39:04,400
Speaker 1: that matchup I should win. I'm I'm actually embarrassed I

756
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:06,160
Speaker 1: lost to the Portrait Morning Show.

757
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:07,520
Speaker 2: You know, no offense to the guys.

758
00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:10,640
Speaker 1: I love him, right, Maestro of the Morning, Corey Cove,

759
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:12,080
Speaker 1: the Milton Bradley of the.

760
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:17,600
Speaker 2: Fan, Chris Hockey, Rock Stark Straordinaire and Lucky Meat Sauce.

761
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:18,040
Speaker 4: You know.

762
00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:22,920
Speaker 1: But again I didn't complain about it, he said. Okay,

763
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:27,040
Speaker 1: that's where it goes. Congratulations of the Portrait Morning Show.

764
00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:29,680
Speaker 1: I was just happy to be considered. I took the

765
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:31,879
Speaker 1: high road. If you're looking for the common man, whether

766
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 1: it's Los Angeles to New York, you'll find me on

767
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:36,960
Speaker 1: the high road. And that's where I was. On the

768
00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:40,560
Speaker 1: high road, unlike Diego, who took the low road until

769
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:41,840
Speaker 1: he was told he needed to take.

770
00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:47,600
Speaker 2: The high road. Are we at the end of the

771
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:51,080
Speaker 2: show yet, Yeah, a few more seconds, I'm.

772
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:52,080
Speaker 3: Just a few more.

773
00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:01,000
Speaker 1: No someone says, here's what i'd it Wasn't that just

774
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:03,720
Speaker 1: for morning shows? No, it was for all because PA's

775
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:07,040
Speaker 1: PA's morning show, but not morning morning. Morning show means

776
00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:11,040
Speaker 1: that morning drive. But I'm happy for the Boucher. I'm

777
00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:14,040
Speaker 1: just thrilled for, and I'm thrilled for Diego, and I'm

778
00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:14,600
Speaker 1: thrilled for.

779
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:19,520
Speaker 2: And I'm thrilled for you. Thanks for having me, great time.

780
00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:20,960
