1
00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:08,039
Speaker 1: Bad common man, common man, No show people solid plan

2
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:12,000
Speaker 1: so we can't scared.

3
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:16,280
Speaker 2: Approach will fail to in. It's time for common man.

4
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 1: Come man, common man, charge the houseless?

5
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:21,599
Speaker 3: A you a can?

6
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:23,920
Speaker 2: What should where we play?

7
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:25,320
Speaker 4: That's nonsense.

8
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 1: I'm dec tody to man.

9
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 2: It's time for common man.

10
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:36,199
Speaker 5: Oh boy, why should anybody aspire to be a common man?

11
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 5: An average man? Do you realize what it means to

12
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 5: be average? That means you're the best of the lousiest

13
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:45,280
Speaker 5: and the lousiest of the best. Now, if we demand

14
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 5: more and more for producing less and less while they

15
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 5: have not, nations encourage and inspire, and indeed require hard

16
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 5: work and maximum effort. If we deify the common man

17
00:00:56,360 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 5: while they encourage and reward the uncommon ones. On the

18
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 5: end result of such a lopsided braces that is too

19
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 5: obvious to require elaboration.

20
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:39,960
Speaker 4: You just have to dry your own conclusion.

21
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 6: People that that that that.

22
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:07,279
Speaker 7: The Viking Tampa They Tampa Bay.

23
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:10,959
Speaker 2: Who's wearing women's underwear? Part of your friendly?

24
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 8: Yeah?

25
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 4: Baby, you find this funny, mister grow? You're smiling? Do

26
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 4: you find this humorous? Whether or not? Do you find

27
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:25,639
Speaker 4: this humorous? Mister Grow? You're laughing and smiling. I'm just

28
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 4: wondering if you do. You don't answer my question, mister

29
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 4: grow do you find this humorous?

30
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 6: No?

31
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 4: Four years two, so wish you're not smiling and laughing. Now, hey,

32
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 4: I guess you're back at it again now.

33
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,919
Speaker 9: I'm always hesitant to believe what I read. You know

34
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,119
Speaker 9: what I mean, And I think that still it comes

35
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 9: down in society. Many times people are forced to believe

36
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 9: what they read, and many times what you read might

37
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,080
Speaker 9: or may not be true.

38
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:00,119
Speaker 8: Listen to cool.

39
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 4: You don't know nothing.

40
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 2: Ain't that the truth? Here we go instead of pumped

41
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:16,079
Speaker 2: up around here. He's the clown from Brown, He's the

42
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 2: fourth in the north. This is the common man, Dan Coles.

43
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 2: And if I if I'm not the common man, I mean,

44
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 2: why do I look like me?

45
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 8: Then?

46
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 2: All right? I am what I am, and that's all

47
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 2: that I am. And if I'm supposed to be somebody else,

48
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 2: why do I look like me? Greetings, good afternoon in

49
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 2: ac akadak and dak dak akh. Yours ak akadak dak dakak.

50
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 2: Is your password for Tom Fooler and' skullduggery will gain

51
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 2: you advincent to a meeting of the loyal order of Buffalo.

52
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 2: It would not have gotten you into flop, sweat and

53
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 2: tears the Petty Theft tour, just a couple of pickpockets

54
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 2: up in Spicer. We brought the house down. That's is

55
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 2: good a performance Mondelo, Guy Meat Sauce in Common as

56
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 2: we've ever had, and we owe so much of it

57
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 2: to the audience. I remember comics used to always tell

58
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 2: me that was a good crowd, and I'm like, well,

59
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 2: what do you mean it was a good crowd. You're

60
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 2: supposed to bring You're supposed to bring the laughter out

61
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 2: of the crowd and make them a good crowd. But

62
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 2: I understand what it means. Now we've done back to

63
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 2: back shows at Cinema Grill. We'll do a seven point

64
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 2: thirty show. They think that that instead of Larry Mondello,

65
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 2: Guy Meet Sauce in Common, they're watching Dave Chappelle, Howie Mandel,

66
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 2: and Dave Attel. Then the next nine o'clock audience comes

67
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 2: in and they don't laugh at all. Same comics, same material,

68
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 2: same energy, same vibe. It doesn't work, but there was

69
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 2: a vibe up there. I would dare say there wasn't

70
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 2: a better comedy show in the country. On Saturday night

71
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 2: what they had in Spicer. And you can laugh at

72
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 2: that all you want.

73
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,919
Speaker 10: You even say, but you know you got your Dave Chappelle,

74
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,559
Speaker 10: in your Howie Mandell's, and your day Bettels, and your

75
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 10: Dennis Miller's and your Jerry Stillers and your Phyllis Dillars.

76
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:12,039
Speaker 2: And they're better than you. They might be, But I'm

77
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,479
Speaker 2: just talking about for what we offer to what the

78
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 2: audience accepted, it was simply astonishing. I can break that

79
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 2: down and probably will. We have an NFL roundup to

80
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 2: get to the Lions melt down against Kansas City postseason

81
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 2: play has become it's the Brewers against the Dodgers. Common

82
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 2: wins a bet from Mark Rose and according to Power

83
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 2: Trip Bets, I don't think I owe Tenna an apology,

84
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 2: but I need an explanation, or maybe he needs one

85
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 2: from me. With that and so many other topics to

86
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 2: get to, where do we begin? I don't know. Let's

87
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 2: spin the wheel of topics. I don't really feel like

88
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 2: I owe you apology, but I haven't. I'm fast. I

89
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 2: gotta talked to about sometime today. Yesterday Ryan, I played

90
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,159
Speaker 2: a lot of gol what'd you shoot today? Today? I

91
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 2: shot an eighty eight zero Bloggers trail, where'd.

92
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 8: You hit it on?

93
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:08,159
Speaker 2: All right up the gut how far from the greenway?

94
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 2: I had an eight iron in my hands. I left

95
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,040
Speaker 2: it a little short, kind of tugged on a little bit.

96
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 2: Then what decelled on the wedge, barely got it on

97
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:18,599
Speaker 2: the green two putt and two puttet for bogie. Today

98
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 2: wasn't as good though I'm hitting the ball. So yesterday

99
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 2: was played a rare afternoon round twelve forty five, and

100
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 2: we played at Presswick, at Wedgewood and Woodbury and Tennebee.

101
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 2: You know as well as I do. The reason I

102
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 2: like playing right away well because of my hours of

103
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 2: my job I have to be done. Yeah, I got

104
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:40,119
Speaker 2: to play in the morning, and I just afternoon golf

105
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,359
Speaker 2: on a weekend. We were on pace for about a

106
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 2: four hour, fifteen minute round me before twenty two tennis side,

107
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 2: which is about right at any golf public golf course

108
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 2: on a weekend. Right, So I shoot forty to a

109
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 2: sloppy forty two on the front. And because I have

110
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:58,719
Speaker 2: the official unofficial ambassador to Minnesota golf, I said, do

111
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,359
Speaker 2: you guys, Mitch, we just played the front again. I

112
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,840
Speaker 2: mean because there's nobody on the front. There was two

113
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 2: groups we ran into and they made a nice pad,

114
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,600
Speaker 2: so we played to ten on the front. We played

115
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 2: a buck thirty on the back. I mean, how nice

116
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 2: is that?

117
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 8: Right?

118
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 2: Just hour thirty minutes. That back's the second nine, the

119
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 2: front nine. A second time, I had an experience that

120
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 2: was not unlike that of a PGA Tour pro. And

121
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 2: you're familiar with that tennemy, you can probably relate to this.

122
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 2: I went Bertie Bogie, Birdie Birdie to start on that back.

123
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 2: I mean, I was, I was, I was lighting it up.

124
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 2: I ended up shooting a thirty five, so I went

125
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 2: forty two to thirty five. I love the way I'm playing.

126
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 2: A week ago, I would have told you I was

127
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 2: waiting for a big snowstorm because I didn't want to

128
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 2: play anymore. But I feel forced to play because I'm

129
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 2: the ambassador. It's a hell of across to bear having

130
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 2: to play golf every day. I have to. It's part

131
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 2: of the responsibilities. When a Ventura, the former governor, Jesse Ventura,

132
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 2: gave me the proclamation, it basically said, you need to

133
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 2: play every day, and so I and I did, and

134
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 2: I'm out Thursday and Friday playing golf all day long Thursday,

135
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 2: and I've got to be kidding me, ten I Fitzgerald

136
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 2: will be setting sits sale on the Wedesday. You have

137
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 2: a little teas at all, Tennabe, I mean anything you

138
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 2: want to let the audience know about Thursday and Friday.

139
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm a lot of lifeboats, I'm sure, but

140
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 2: anything in any surprises? Will you be playing program pass?

141
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 2: Where do you be playing?

142
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 7: Put zero F out into it? Up until this point?

143
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 2: Here's what I'll tell you. That sounds like you're taking

144
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 2: after the host of this show. You probably shouldn't do that.

145
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 11: Have some days ahead of us here, but I mean

146
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 11: I'm assuming rows it'll be there Thursday.

147
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 7: Are we doing spread swing? Are you out on that?

148
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 8: Oh?

149
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 7: I can do spreading calling.

150
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can do. Yeah, I'll do spread spring for sure.

151
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 2: I'll be let's see where we will be on that round.

152
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 7: Yeah, so one thirty three is already done on Thursday.

153
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:48,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, thats ez. I t off at one forty on

154
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,719
Speaker 2: the second round, so be perfect. I'll just hit a

155
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,439
Speaker 2: shots at the phone. I'll just go I'm okay, that's

156
00:08:54,520 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 2: very good. I wonder if I can outlast another boss.

157
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 2: We have another boss now today we're not allowed to

158
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 2: talk about this, aren't we.

159
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 7: I don't know why we went.

160
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I don't know why. The legendary Greg Sweabber,

161
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 2: who has been here longer than I have. He's been

162
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 2: been programming K one O two forever. He's also the

163

164
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 2: been ever since I've been here. He's been in my

165
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,840
Speaker 2: corner forever. He's been my guy. He was my guy

166
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:32,679
Speaker 2: before he was your guy. And the only reason he

167
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 2: was my guy before it was your guys because I

168
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 2: started here before you. And he's always been there for me,

169
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 2: gone to bat for me. And but he now wants

170
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 2: to spread his wings a little bit and he's become

171
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 2: he's in the Country Radio Hall of Fame.

172
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 7: Yeah, and he's.

173
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:49,719
Speaker 2: So good at programming country. He's like I think his

174
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 2: job described you were there for. I didn't even know

175
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 2: there was a meeting. All embarrassing was that when I

176
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:55,959
Speaker 2: walked in the door, I knew.

177
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 7: It was haphazardly put together today.

178
00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 2: Because I knew something was going on.

179
00:09:58,720 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 7: Yeah, because I.

180
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,079
Speaker 2: Walk in here in the not a soul anywhere, but

181
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 2: I see all the salespeople seem I could have been

182
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:06,320
Speaker 2: a detective. I could have been clumble, there's something bothering

183
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 2: me here. That one last thing, there's something bothering me here.

184
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 2: I noticed that all the salespeople they had their belongings

185
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 2: on their desk. The gals had their purses there, and

186
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 2: you know, maybe you know some of them keep a

187
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 2: sweater over their chair. The gentlemen have their backpacks there there.

188
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:25,679
Speaker 2: So I know something's up right. So I go back

189
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:27,840
Speaker 2: to the performance student and open the doors, and the.

190
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 11: Rest of us knew something else because we just received

191
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 11: an email and we were able to see it on

192
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 11: our phone.

193
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 7: Yeah apparently.

194
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, well I don't check my phone when I'm playing golf. Yeah,

195
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 2: and again it's no one. Well we didn't know about it,

196
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 2: like twenty minutes from meeting. Yeah, so that's why I

197
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 2: didn't know either. So I walked in and there they weren't.

198
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 2: Gene Romano was there. He's a big shot from her.

199
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 2: He likes me. I think, I just tell him, my,

200
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:50,680
Speaker 2: you know, you're not supposed to wing it. You know,

201
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:52,680
Speaker 2: that's the last thing you're supposed to do. You're supposed

202
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 2: to have to show all preptitus t I just wing it,

203
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:57,439
Speaker 2: and he's all right with it, because you know how

204
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 2: tall I ams tend to be. Only another nice report card,

238
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:45,000

311
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 2: in first place by a scant thirty three percentage points.

312
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 2: They are three to one and one. After yesterday's victory

313
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 2: over the Joe Flacco led Cincinnati Bengals almost pulled that

314
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 2: game out. They went for the two point conversion to

315
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 2: cut it to six. The Jordan Love guy made is

316
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 2: good at place. It was I think it was third

317
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 2: down and long and they flushed him out of the

318
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 2: pocket and running to his left and falling back.

319
00:16:59,400 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 8: It was.

320
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 2: It was a la Brett Favre he hit that. I remember

321
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 2: which you who's number eight their wide receiver whoever?

322
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 7: I's thinking of Matthew Golden. Maybe was matthe zero?

323
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:12,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe was Matthew gold Somebody caught the ball and

324
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:14,879
Speaker 2: uh and that was game, set match. But that is

325
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 2: the one thing about a veteran like Flacco. He's not

326
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:20,640
Speaker 2: in the facility until Tuesday, and it's just not that hard.

327
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 2: That's why they always try to make these you know,

328
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:25,680
Speaker 2: every sport, the people that are involved in it and

329
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 2: do it for a living, trying to.

330
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 8: Make it so complicated.

331
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 2: It's really hard. Joe just walks in and picks up

332
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 2: a playbook and he's winging it all over the field.

333
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 2: It's not as hard as people want to especially when

334
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 2: you're a veteran. I guess it comes easier. Lions lose

335
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,159
Speaker 2: last night, they're four and two, your Vikings sitting at

336
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:43,680
Speaker 2: three and the team Tennabe only one hundred percentage points

337
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:46,159
Speaker 2: out of first place. And the Bears play tonight they

338
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 2: are two and two. They could join the Vikings at

339
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 2: three and two or lose, depending obviously, to be a

340
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 2: game back of Minnesota, depending upon the outcome. I'm not

341
00:17:56,760 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 2: sure if you watch much of Detroit Kansas City, Yeah,

342
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 2: most of it. Detroit melted down. They had a couple

343
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:04,360
Speaker 2: of bad mistakes and at the end of the game,

344
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 2: the branch guy popped the bolt and he can't do that.

345
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 2: There was there were two guys that popped the bolt

346
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:12,440
Speaker 2: and they were critical plays. Well, the branch one was.

347
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 2: After the game was over. Yeah, he dissed Mahome. Holmes

348
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 2: went over to say, hey, you know, a nice game,

349
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:20,119
Speaker 2: See you next time. He dissed him. And then was

350
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 2: it Juju Juju Smith's sister. He was bitter about that.

351
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 2: Now why he's bitter, I don't know. He should just

352
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 2: roll your eyes, shrug your shoulders.

353
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 7: He explained his bitterness.

354
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:29,440
Speaker 8: Oh what was it?

355
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 11: Announcing the replay of the bitterness. Okay, So one of

356
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:36,880
Speaker 11: the last plays of the game, Juju Smith Schuster kind

357
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 11: of blocked him from behind, and he was upset that

358
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 11: he got blocked from behind.

359
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 2: I see, okay, because Juju Smith Schuster goes over there,

360
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:49,119
Speaker 2: I guess to get in Branch's face about dissing Mahomes

361
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:51,880
Speaker 2: and then Branch punches him. So now Branch will probably

362
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 2: get suspended and fine, and they're already lacking in the

363
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:57,880
Speaker 2: secondary as it is. The other one was a critical

364
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 2: play where Hutchinson and roughing the passer and it was

365
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:04,719
Speaker 2: clearly roughing the passer. He had took two steps slant.

366
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:08,240
Speaker 2: That's frustration not being able to get to Mahomes all

367
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 2: night long. You can't do it.

368
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:12,200
Speaker 7: You got any quarterback to hit late, Mahomes is not there.

369
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:16,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, he Ultimately it was just bad and then you

370
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:17,959
Speaker 2: know my guy, and I can't be mad at him

371
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 2: because a mon Ros Saint round is so good. He

372
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 2: dropped a critical pass and then golf on the trick

373
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,400
Speaker 2: play to score their first tuddy that got called back.

374
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 2: He needs to set so they they kind hisself and

375
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:30,880
Speaker 2: played in Kansas City. When Mahomes is on tennaby, I'm

376
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:33,920
Speaker 2: not an idolizer and pedestals, but when he's when when

377
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:36,160
Speaker 2: he's playing like he did last night, he's just so good.

378
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:39,119
Speaker 2: So uh yeah. So we'll see what happens tonight with

379
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 2: the Bears. The head coach of the soon to be

395
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 3: Those who brave the trip with us, it was good

396
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:32,880
Speaker 3: to be back home. And had a good, good week

397
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:35,920
Speaker 3: of work here, gave the players some much deserved time off,

398
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 3: but coaching staff wise, we were able to you know,

399
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 3: kind of use a lot of the five weeks of

400
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,479
Speaker 3: inventory that we had to assess where we're at as

401
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 3: a team and as we try to you know, come

402
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 3: out of this by getting getting some players back, getting

403
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 3: healthy at some spots, and we will continue to do

404
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,440
Speaker 3: so over these next few weeks. We're excited about the

405
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 3: opportunity we have as a team and still a lot

406
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 3: of room to continue to improve. And I think that's

407
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 3: going to be a huge thing for for this year's team,

408
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:11,719
Speaker 3: and it's really every year's team is improving throughout you know,

409
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 3: these these next few weeks to try to become the

410
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 3: best version of of what we can be towards you know, towards.

411
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:19,640
Speaker 8: The tail end of the season.

412
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 3: And but at the same time understanding that the schedule

413
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:24,399
Speaker 3: is going to be a challenge and we've got some

414
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 3: really good teams that we've got to get.

415
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:26,439
Speaker 8: Ready to play.

416
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:29,439
Speaker 3: And it starts with this with this week, you know,

417
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 3: welcoming the Eagles to town, defending champs, very very talented

418
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 3: football team, and it's it's going to be one where

419
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 3: we're very excited to be back at us Bank Stadium.

420
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 8: It does feel like it's been a little bit.

421
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:44,879
Speaker 3: Of time since we've had an opportunity to play in

422
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,359
Speaker 3: front of our fans, which we're very much excited about

423
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 3: and also excited to open up. Blake Cashman's window will

424
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:56,119
Speaker 3: open up today. We'll go out for some on field

425
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 3: work today to kind of get the week kicked off,

426
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:03,360
Speaker 3: and you will will also have Donovan Jackson, Michael Jurgens, Brown,

427
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 3: O'Neil and j J McCarthy taking part in the work

428
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:12,200
Speaker 3: today as well as throughout the week in different different capacities.

429
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 3: But we'll be great to get cash back on the

430
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:18,440
Speaker 3: practice field opening that window up. And he's done done

431
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 3: a heck of a job getting himself ready to go

432
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:23,680
Speaker 3: and give him the week of preparation and see where

433
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:26,400
Speaker 3: he's at towards the tail end of the week. But

434
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 3: very much looking forward to getting after it with the

435
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 3: guys today. Had a good week, but it's it's time

436
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 3: to go to work.

437
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 12: In the first five weeks, how challenging was it to

438
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:42,359
Speaker 12: have takeaways when you've been playing without so many key players, And.

439
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:44,120
Speaker 7: I guess how did you sort of work your.

440
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 8: Way through that.

441
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:47,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think, like what I what I tried to do,

442
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:51,439
Speaker 3: and especially sitting with Flow and and you know, spending

443
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 3: quite a bit of time talking through just our team

444
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 3: in general. But when you look at when you look

445
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 3: at you know where the injuries have happen in some

446
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 3: cases in game and some of the you're trying to

447
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:06,919
Speaker 3: make as many adjustments as you can to try to

448
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:10,480
Speaker 3: win that game that day. Does that fall in alignment

449
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 3: with what you want your identity of your team to

450
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,640
Speaker 3: be and you try to keep the things as close

451
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 3: together as you can. But I think the big thing

452
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 3: looking at it from a thirty thousand foot view is

453
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:25,200
Speaker 3: we've got to continue to do the simple things better.

454
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 3: And what I mean by that is fundamentals of each

455
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 3: and every call. I think the calls, whether it's a

456
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:33,680
Speaker 3: defensive call, play call on offense, or even Matt Daniels

457
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 3: in the kicking game. Can we play with great technique

458
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 3: and fundamentals and have all eleven guys doing their job

459
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 3: penalty free football. That's looked like Minnesota Vikings football, even

460
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 3: when we've had to deal with some of the adversity

461
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:52,399
Speaker 3: of injuries so far through the first five games and

462
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:54,879
Speaker 3: as we get healthy. That doesn't mean you can just

463
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:56,480
Speaker 3: look the other way on a lot of those things.

464
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:59,400
Speaker 3: We've got a coach to that standard, and then we've

465
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 3: got to try to find a way to match the

466
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:05,120
Speaker 3: plans to be in alignment with what we want our

467
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 3: identity to be as a team, how we think we

468
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 3: can win, what it's going to take to win against

469
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:12,359
Speaker 3: really good football teams. It seems like week in and

470
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 3: week out, every team you're gonna play is going to

471
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:17,440
Speaker 3: be talented, they're going to be well coached.

472
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:19,399
Speaker 8: You've got to do those little.

473
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 3: Things right, and a lot of them fall in alignment

474
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 3: with our foundational principles of how we've won a lot

475
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:28,399
Speaker 3: of games around here, whether it's the turnover battle, whether

476
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 3: it's being a fundamentally sound team, tackling some of the

477
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 3: things that allow you to get opportunities on defense to

478
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 3: force turnovers by creating more negative plays and disruption that

479
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:42,960
Speaker 3: causes the negative plays, and then you get teams into

480
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 3: these longer down and distances.

481
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 8: And we've seen it the other way with our offense.

482
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 3: You know, early down penalties or negatives got to be elite.

483
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:53,200
Speaker 8: With our ball security.

484
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 3: The rest of the way to truly play these games

485
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:57,639
Speaker 3: the way we want to play them, and then when

486
00:24:57,680 --> 00:24:59,879
Speaker 3: the ball gets kicked off, we've got to then do

487
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 3: whatever it takes to try to win. As the inevitable

488
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 3: kind of ebbs and flows of a game happened, but

489
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 3: that doesn't change the fact that we've got to prepare

490
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:10,199
Speaker 3: and it's my job to prepare the team in a

491
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:11,879
Speaker 3: way to go out and win games.

492
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:13,480
Speaker 8: The way we we know we can play.

493
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:16,680
Speaker 3: And we've got to just make sure that that standard

494
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 3: is being met. Starts with me all the way down

495
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:22,000
Speaker 3: through our roster. I see from JJ last week during

496
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 3: his time with the Buy and then where are you

497
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:25,880
Speaker 3: thinking that practicing.

498
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 8: We had some good work last week.

499
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:30,439
Speaker 3: It was it was great to get back on the

500
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 3: grass and and had uh, you know, some good sessions

501
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 3: out there, kind of getting back to a lot of

502
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 3: the principles of lower body mechanics and and things that

503
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:45,159
Speaker 3: had had, you know, been really good parts of his

504
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:48,879
Speaker 3: early journey here and and didn't even hit me un

505
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 3: till we were out there. He had practiced one time

506
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:55,399
Speaker 3: since we had left Chicago. He had practiced one time officially,

507
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:57,120
Speaker 3: So a lot of a lot of the things you're

508
00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:00,160
Speaker 3: you know, allowing him to get his health back and

509
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 3: get his feetback underneath him, but then building that foundation

510
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:07,320
Speaker 3: of fundamentals and techniques that really you can talk about

511
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:10,359
Speaker 3: routes and certain throws and certain plays and things like that,

512
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:13,720
Speaker 3: but it's the foundation of throwing mechanics from the ground

513
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:17,119
Speaker 3: up that you know, he's really taken two since he

514
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 3: since he got here, and just the consistency of it,

515
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:22,879
Speaker 3: whether it was dealing through playing through that injury, you know,

516
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 3: towards the second half of that Atlanta game, or and

517
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:29,399
Speaker 3: and really you're not talking about an incredible amount a

518
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 3: body of work when you're considering that when that injury

519
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,240
Speaker 3: happened in the week that he had leading into that game.

520
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 3: So I'm very excited to get him back officially practicing.

521
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 3: I don't necessarily want to put a percentage on where

522
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:44,720
Speaker 3: I think he's at health wise, and I think, well,

523
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:49,960
Speaker 3: you know, this week will be massive for our whole team,

524
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:52,719
Speaker 3: But just to see JJ back out there getting reps

525
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:57,200
Speaker 3: and working through the process of building that foundation back up,

526
00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:59,360
Speaker 3: and we got off to a really good start last week.

527
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:01,200
Speaker 3: I was very forte to get that time with him.

528
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 3: Do him as a possibility for Sunday team or is

529
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 3: this more of a long term thing like you're talking

530
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 3: about with the fundamentals. Yeah, I think you know, we've

531
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 3: got to prepare to to try to win a game

532
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:15,880
Speaker 3: on Sunday, and Carson you know as well, working with

533
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:16,360
Speaker 3: you know.

534
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:18,200
Speaker 8: His left shoulder, he'll practice as well.

535
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 3: But we really want to get our team ready to go,

536
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 3: and in the process of doing that, JJ is you know,

537
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:28,399
Speaker 3: has his his plan of attack that we want to

538
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 3: try to make sure we maximize every single day and

539
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:33,439
Speaker 3: prepare all of our guys to be ready to go

540
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:35,879
Speaker 3: and and make the best decision for our team and

541
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:39,680
Speaker 3: then also for for individually for each one of those

542
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 3: guys as we get closer to it, but not ready

543
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 3: to say yet exactly where he'll be at towards the

544
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:46,960
Speaker 3: end of the week. Want to see how this week

545
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:47,720
Speaker 3: plays out first.

546
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 8: I mean you've talked about footwork with JJ a few times.

547
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:53,359
Speaker 5: What specifically do you want to see him kind of

548
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,399
Speaker 5: refine here sharpen up as he gets back at it.

549
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:57,119
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think.

550
00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:01,959
Speaker 3: You you quarterback plays about you know, the foundation of

551
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:06,639
Speaker 3: getting to that premier base and body position at the

552
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:08,920
Speaker 3: top of your drop, whatever that drop is. That could

553
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 3: be quick game, that could be a five seven step

554
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 3: drop that can be you know, a play action pass

555
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:17,399
Speaker 3: where you turn your back to the defense, whatever it is,

556
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 3: you're still getting to that optimal position at the top

557
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 3: of your drop, so then you can read, you know,

558
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:26,119
Speaker 3: with your feet and eyes tied together and play in rhythm,

559
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:29,679
Speaker 3: and the time clock can naturally be something that if

560
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 3: you're just listening to you know what, you're listening to

561
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:35,640
Speaker 3: your feet and seeing what your eyes see as far

562
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 3: as our guys open or not, and then progressing. Because

563
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 3: I think one of the things he's he's you know,

564
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:44,479
Speaker 3: took away from these two or three weeks of watching

565
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:48,120
Speaker 3: Carson play was just the power of completions that maybe

566
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 3: don't necessarily always go to the first or second progression.

567
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 3: It might be TJ you know, helping out on a

568
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 3: protection and it's it's a critical twelve yard game when

569
00:28:57,280 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 3: all we did was really check the ball down, or

570
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 3: it's you know, being surgical with your accuracy when number

571
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 3: one is open and you do that by getting to

572
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 3: that foundation and then playing with great balance and rhythm

573
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 3: from that point, and it's it's something that seems like, hey,

574
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:16,760
Speaker 3: you know, that seems like just quarterback play one oh one,

575
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:19,080
Speaker 3: But I watched a lot of football yesterday and didn't

576
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:21,680
Speaker 3: see it as much as you would think you should

577
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 3: see it. And that's just the nature of playing a

578
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 3: really difficult position with a lot of variables in front

579
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 3: of you down the field, different coverages and techniques and leverages,

580
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 3: and we're trying to give the best plays we possibly can.

581
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 3: But within those plays you have five eligibles for a reason,

582
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 3: and finding that open eligible and putting the ball and

583
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 3: play and the power of preserving not only yourself but

584
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:51,120
Speaker 3: the integrity of staying efficient as an offense is ends

585
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 3: up being the quarterback's job a lot of the time

586
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:56,440
Speaker 3: when it's not always fair based upon how things are

587
00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 3: around them or the adversity around them from a st

588
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:01,680
Speaker 3: in point of some of the injuries that have hit us,

589
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 3: and and that's just part of why the position is

590
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:08,680
Speaker 3: so difficult. But the beauty of the work last week was,

591
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 3: you know, this is purely just about let's just work

592
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 3: on the technique and fundamentals and break it down to

593
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 3: a place where we can really take tangible Wow, that

594
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 3: felt different, that felt great, or that's how you know,

595
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 3: that's why we coach it like that, And you know

596
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:27,520
Speaker 3: pretty soon he's he's throwing the ball great, and he's

597
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 3: got a smile on his face, and you're stacking reps

598
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 3: upon reps that that will matter as now he gets

599
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 3: to transition to actual, real reps on the practice field

600
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 3: and and having the extra day here to get a

601
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:41,480
Speaker 3: little head start will be great and then we'll work

602
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 3: through it from there.

603
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:45,320
Speaker 8: Where is Carsons with his shoulder just coming down the

604
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 8: last week, Yeah, he was, he was sore coming out

605
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:47,840
Speaker 8: of the game.

606
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 3: He's he's he's gotten a good place where he can,

607
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 3: you know, participate as well and take part in the preparation.

608
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 8: And the biggest thing for him is it's.

609
00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:01,360
Speaker 3: A non throwing shoulder, so it's it's a matter of

610
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 3: working through that soreness as it as it comes to them,

611
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 3: and you know, then it's going to be about for Carson,

612
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 3: you know, the same types of things that we talk

613
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 3: about with JJ, albeit different because they're totally two different

614
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 3: body types, different types of throwers from a standpoint of

615
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 3: their lower body mechanics, but at the same time, the

616
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 3: principles remain the same. And I think Carson's done a

617
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:26,080
Speaker 3: really good job of without a bunch of time on

618
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:30,480
Speaker 3: task in the offense, understanding, you know, that completion mindset,

619
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 3: and I think even some of the times where he's

620
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 3: maybe tried to hold onto the ball or create a play,

621
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 3: you know, that's led to maybe taking some more hits

622
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 3: than he needs to. So I think it's.

623
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 8: You're playing against a really good front this week.

624
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 3: You know, one of the best interiors probably in the

625
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:49,240
Speaker 3: whole NFL, and the integrity of the interior of the

626
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:50,480
Speaker 3: pocket is going to be critical.

627
00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 8: But at the same.

628
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 3: Time, playing in rhythm and finding that completion in the quickest,

629
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 3: most efficient way possible will hold true for both those guys.

630
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:02,960
Speaker 12: Ever, be comfortable to taking a decision on a quarterback

631
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 12: status like up to game time or is because of

632
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 12: that position you kind of need to know by end

633
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 12: of the week, just for continuity's sake.

634
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think yeah, I think there's I think there's

635
00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 3: the decision that is the public one, and I think

636
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:20,080
Speaker 3: there's the decision one with what we're going to do

637
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:23,960
Speaker 3: for the game, and those two things can be on

638
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:27,320
Speaker 3: different timelines. Although I know that's not the most comforting

639
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 3: thing to share with you guys, but there is a

640
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 3: there is a feel of, uh, you know, making sure

641
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 3: that we're preparing the quarterback position for the game. Knowing

642
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 3: that we've we've won games with two different guys this year,

643
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:46,800
Speaker 3: and we've we've found a rhythm at times on offense

644
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 3: that as much as that quarterback plays a huge role

645
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 3: in it, we've got to make sure our offense is

646
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 3: prepared to play with that true all eleven mindset, because

647
00:32:56,200 --> 00:33:00,080
Speaker 3: when we've moved the ball pretty consistently without some of

648
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 3: those you know, early down inefficiencies that have caused us

649
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:07,000
Speaker 3: either to be in third and longs and not be

650
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:09,360
Speaker 3: able to stay on the field, or you know, the

651
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 3: early down put the ball on the ground turnover with

652
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:14,320
Speaker 3: you know, you look back at the last game, we

653
00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:17,600
Speaker 3: had two fumbles, both of which I believe took place

654
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:22,440
Speaker 3: on first and ten in a pretty optimal position on

655
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 3: the field. One when we had been driving the first

656
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 3: drive of the game, and then later on when the

657
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 3: defense was able to get a stop backed up, we

658
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 3: get a good point return by Miles Price, and then

659
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:33,920
Speaker 3: we put the ball on the ground there. And every

660
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:36,120
Speaker 3: single one of those has their own stories, for sure.

661
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:39,840
Speaker 3: Our ball carriers they've heard it from me already today,

662
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:42,800
Speaker 3: they'll hear it every single day from here on out.

663
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:45,680
Speaker 3: But ball security has to be a premium for the

664
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:48,040
Speaker 3: way we're going to win games. And we were able

665
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 3: to overcome losing the turnover battle, we lost the field

666
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 3: position battle, we lost a lot of the metrics that

667
00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:56,680
Speaker 3: say you should when you lose those things, you should

668
00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 3: lose those games. But we won the football game because

669
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 3: we did what was required to win that game. But

670
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:05,600
Speaker 3: that does not mean that there's still not a lot

671
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:07,120
Speaker 3: of things we need to improve on to be a

672
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:10,880
Speaker 3: little bit more consistent as a team. And the quarterback

673
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:13,680
Speaker 3: position is obviously a part of that, Dave. But at

674
00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:16,520
Speaker 3: the same time, we've got to prepare that position just

675
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 3: like the rest of our team, where it's principles of

676
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:23,719
Speaker 3: playing good football that I think can be our separator.

677
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:24,839
Speaker 8: And and and.

678
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:27,440
Speaker 3: Then we allow the health and kind of the readiness

679
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:30,279
Speaker 3: factor to help drive that decision later on.

680
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:34,279
Speaker 8: In the week. Yeah, he's doing better.

681
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:37,520
Speaker 3: He's he's uh, he's going to be working on a

682
00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:40,160
Speaker 3: side field, you know, early on this week. And then

683
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:43,840
Speaker 3: what I see is, you know, you know, his workload

684
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:47,040
Speaker 3: hopefully picking up as we go. I don't really have

685
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:49,719
Speaker 3: an update on his availability for Sunday yet, want to

686
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:52,080
Speaker 3: see kind of how he how he does with some

687
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:54,640
Speaker 3: of that side field work, and uh, he'll be a

688
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:57,000
Speaker 3: critical guy to get back in there when we can

689
00:34:57,160 --> 00:34:59,920
Speaker 3: just from a you know, the nucleus of our core

690
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:03,239
Speaker 3: defensive group. He does so many things that you know,

691
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:05,640
Speaker 3: help make a lot of the calls go. Is versatility

692
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 3: allowing other guys to be kind of back back in

693
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:13,680
Speaker 3: kind of their sweet spot for their role within the defense.

694
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:16,480
Speaker 3: And then I think a guy like Blake Cashman coming

695
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:19,840
Speaker 3: back is critical as well because you know, he assumes

696
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:23,399
Speaker 3: that green dot position and we have just seen since

697
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:26,840
Speaker 3: we got Blake when he's out there and we're playing

698
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 3: the type of defense that we've been accustomed to see

699
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:31,520
Speaker 3: and Blake's got a lot to do with it.

700
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:33,800
Speaker 8: So very very excited to get him back.

701
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 3: And Gink's going to be on you know, a timeline

702
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:39,759
Speaker 3: here that I don't necessarily have at this time, but

703
00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:42,160
Speaker 3: I do feel positive about where he's at today and

704
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 3: moving forward.

705
00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 13: Having you spoke earlier about the identity you guys kind

706
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:49,360
Speaker 13: of had to be in survival mode injury wise, also traveling.

707
00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:52,160
Speaker 13: What is the identity you think of the team now

708
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:53,799
Speaker 13: and what do you want it to be or is

709
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:54,839
Speaker 13: it the same right now?

710
00:35:55,239 --> 00:36:00,239
Speaker 3: I think the characteristics of our team need to be

711
00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:04,120
Speaker 3: a consistent regardless of who's on the field. That's been

712
00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:08,680
Speaker 3: one of the things that I haven't liked about, you know,

713
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:12,440
Speaker 3: some of the turnovers or you know, we've got to

714
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 3: force some more. You know, we've we've forced a good

715
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:18,360
Speaker 3: chunk of our turnovers in one game, and that was

716
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:22,440
Speaker 3: a great performance by our team that day, and I

717
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:25,280
Speaker 3: think the score was indicative of a lot of things

718
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:27,600
Speaker 3: looking like they were in alignment with how we want

719
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:32,560
Speaker 3: to play. I think the defensive opportunities for turnovers will come,

720
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:37,440
Speaker 3: and they'll come with us being efficient on offense and

721
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:40,120
Speaker 3: maintaining possessions and scoring some points and trying to let

722
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 3: those guys play with a lead at times and making

723
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:46,600
Speaker 3: people a little bit more one dimensional than being in

724
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:48,680
Speaker 3: these kind of back and forth kind of games, which

725
00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:51,560
Speaker 3: is the NFL, such as life in the NFL. But

726
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:55,160
Speaker 3: I think as we get guys back, hopefully you're seeing

727
00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:59,920
Speaker 3: that standard in that line elevate with the initial en

728
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:03,160
Speaker 3: tensions of our roster coming to life. And that'll be

729
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:05,759
Speaker 3: this week with Blake and some of those other guys

730
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:08,520
Speaker 3: coming back, eron coming back at you know, at some

731
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:10,759
Speaker 3: point in the near future, and and and then just

732
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 3: continuing to you know, build on the original intent of

733
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:16,080
Speaker 3: how the team was put together, but at the same time,

734
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:21,400
Speaker 3: you know, manufacturing clear path to winning each week is

735
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:23,719
Speaker 3: it's a week to week thing in the NFL. It's

736
00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:26,160
Speaker 3: a matchups and opponents and all those things. What they

737
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:28,480
Speaker 3: do well, what you have to make sure that you

738
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:31,240
Speaker 3: do your best to try to mitigate from a standpoint

739
00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:35,040
Speaker 3: of their their strengths to try to win. You know,

740
00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:37,120
Speaker 3: at the risk of a word, salad, that's the best

741
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:40,600
Speaker 3: I could give you, But I'm sure that still can

742
00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:42,000
Speaker 3: be interpreted as a salad.

743
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:42,960
Speaker 8: So I'll stop there.

744
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:45,640
Speaker 7: What's turned out as you watched a lot of football yesterday?

745
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:47,959
Speaker 8: And how do you analyze the landscape of the NFC?

746
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:52,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you know, there's so many games where

747
00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:55,000
Speaker 3: I'm sure fans watching them like I was watching yesterday.

748
00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:57,920
Speaker 8: It is very very there there.

749
00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:01,720
Speaker 3: It's razor thin, the difference between a game looking certain

750
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:05,600
Speaker 3: ways and not and being down to the wire back

751
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:08,640
Speaker 3: and forth thing and just the ebbs and flows of

752
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:11,600
Speaker 3: games and with the way you know, it seems like

753
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:13,920
Speaker 3: the one thing that always hits me is just you

754
00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:16,239
Speaker 3: watch college games on Saturday and then you watch pro

755
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:17,160
Speaker 3: games on Sunday.

756
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:20,400
Speaker 8: The games fly by sequences of games.

757
00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:23,239
Speaker 3: Teams can hold the ball for nine, eight, nine, ten

758
00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:28,480
Speaker 3: minutes on a drive and just totally capture just the

759
00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:32,440
Speaker 3: momentum of having the ball in many ways in the NFL,

760
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:35,279
Speaker 3: And then you start looking at your Yeah, you could

761
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:37,359
Speaker 3: be averaging over six yards of play, and you can

762
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:39,600
Speaker 3: be efficient and all these things, and then you look

763
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:41,120
Speaker 3: up and it's the middle of the third quarter and

764
00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:45,279
Speaker 3: you've run thirty plus place as opposed to trying to

765
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:48,239
Speaker 3: get to that sixty plus number. And there's a lot

766
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:50,919
Speaker 3: of ways to get to though that number. But nine

767
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:53,080
Speaker 3: times out of ten it comes back to are you

768
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:56,600
Speaker 3: not doing the things that stunt your ability to have

769
00:38:56,640 --> 00:39:01,240
Speaker 3: a drive? Penalties, turnovers, short fields, especially team's one play phase,

770
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:03,399
Speaker 3: being able to flip the field like Ryan Wright did

771
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:06,680
Speaker 3: against the Browns last week and put them backed up,

772
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:09,840
Speaker 3: which should inevitably turn hopefully into a good field position

773
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:14,400
Speaker 3: for the next sequence of possessions. But to answer your question,

774
00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:17,120
Speaker 3: it just seems like every play matters.

775
00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:18,799
Speaker 8: It seems like whether if.

776
00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:20,200
Speaker 3: You're going to try to say, hey, this is a

777
00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:22,480
Speaker 3: weighty down, I don't even know how you say that anymore.

778
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:24,839
Speaker 8: Because they all feel weighty throughout a game.

779
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:27,600
Speaker 3: That second and seven explosive that you get in the

780
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:31,040
Speaker 3: playpass game, or that third and three conversion where you

781
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:33,680
Speaker 3: get three and a half, they all seem to be

782
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:36,400
Speaker 3: massively important. And if you're going to try to pinpoint

783
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:39,440
Speaker 3: going into the game, oh, this play right here is

784
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:41,320
Speaker 3: going to be the one, then you're probably going to

785
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:45,239
Speaker 3: be looking back on the game at many, many other

786
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:48,000
Speaker 3: plays in the game. So I think it's the consistency factor.

787
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:52,960
Speaker 3: Playing good football with good principles of tackling guys, communicating guys,

788
00:39:53,000 --> 00:40:00,600
Speaker 3: all fundamentals, and then trying to manufacture momentum by stacking

789
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:03,719
Speaker 3: plays throughout your team. Then in the NFL game isn't

790
00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:06,759
Speaker 3: just one phase, it's all three phases. Having to put

791
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:09,719
Speaker 3: those things together to play against good teams and win.

792
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:13,480
Speaker 2: And there you go. That's the head coach of the

793
00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:15,920
Speaker 2: soon to be a big game world champion Minnesota Vikings,

794
00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:19,319
Speaker 2: the rain NFL coach of the Year. It's not really

795
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:21,719
Speaker 2: good at dodging The QB question tend to be why

796
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:23,920
Speaker 2: is he just a minute? Max bros. And we're starting

797
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:29,680
Speaker 2: Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagle. It's gonna be uh Carson Wentz, right, Yeah,

798
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:30,719
Speaker 2: I mean that's I.

799
00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:32,360
Speaker 7: Mean, he's going along with my playbook.

800
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:36,479
Speaker 2: Yeah exactly, I mean, if he's fully right, Yeah, it's

801
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:42,440
Speaker 2: they're going with Wentz. Because if McCarthy wouldn't have been

802
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:45,600
Speaker 2: so bad for those seven quarters, it'd be a different thing.

803
00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:47,080
Speaker 2: I think if you've been here, if he'd shown a

804
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:49,320
Speaker 2: we played pretty well, played Okay, you know, I made mistakes,

805
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:51,040
Speaker 2: rookie mistakes that you're gonna see from a guy. But

806
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:54,200
Speaker 2: it was so bad as we talked about earlier. And

807
00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:58,040
Speaker 2: I get the frustration of the hardcore fans that feel

808
00:40:58,120 --> 00:41:03,000
Speaker 2: like this team's going nowhere that regardless if it's Whence

809
00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:05,400
Speaker 2: or Bros. When McCarthy, the team adn't gett into the

810
00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:10,160
Speaker 2: big game, And I you know, what odds are there,

811
00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:13,160
Speaker 2: not right, just because that's only only two teams get there,

812
00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:14,840
Speaker 2: one out of the NFC, one out of the AFC.

813
00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:17,640
Speaker 2: We haven't been there since nineteen seventy nine or seventy seven,

814
00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:20,399
Speaker 2: whatever it was. But the organization ain't going to play

815
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:23,120
Speaker 2: it like that. The coaching staff, the players, the organization,

816
00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:23,960
Speaker 2: they don't play it like that.

817
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:24,799
Speaker 7: They play like.

818
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:27,799
Speaker 2: We're a game out of first and so guess what

819
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:34,560
Speaker 2: we're we're We're we're going hard and so breaking news

820
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:36,160
Speaker 2: the NFL related.

821
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:40,000
Speaker 11: Yes, we already have a coach fired in the National

822
00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:40,760
Speaker 11: Football League.

823
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:47,880
Speaker 2: Let me guess who Saints.

824
00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:53,680
Speaker 11: No, Tennessee Titans have fired their head coach, Brian Callahan.

825
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:55,479
Speaker 2: Callahan done, so he's out.

826
00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:56,440
Speaker 7: Didn't last very long?

827
00:41:56,560 --> 00:42:01,879
Speaker 2: No, sure certainly didn't last very long. Yeah, I think

828
00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:07,759
Speaker 2: Wentz is the guy at Tendabe and I I'm on

829
00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:09,800
Speaker 2: board of it. I mean, I understand the counter argument

830
00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:11,399
Speaker 2: when we've talked about it for two weeks now, two

831
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:13,320
Speaker 2: or three weeks. However long Wentz has been quarterback in

832
00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:16,560
Speaker 2: particularly during this bye week, last week's bye week, where

833
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:21,880
Speaker 2: it's like you want to see what you got. But

834
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:23,520
Speaker 2: in the in the two games he's played, he hasn't

835
00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:23,920
Speaker 2: been any good.

836
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:26,759
Speaker 7: He's been you have seen meet to a certain extent, and.

837
00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:29,440
Speaker 2: He's been awful. He had the one great quarter. You

838
00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:32,680
Speaker 2: see other guys like how good has Jackson Dart been?

839
00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:37,759
Speaker 2: Really good moments miss Smith, especially last week, you know,

840
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:40,720
Speaker 2: even better than the first week. You see young quarterbacks

841
00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:45,239
Speaker 2: Jayden Daniels, uh the May character. Now May is how

842
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:47,080
Speaker 2: many years has he been here? A second year but

843
00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:51,120
Speaker 2: May has been great, so you know I and so

844
00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:52,839
Speaker 2: I know people want to see it. Those guys are

845
00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:54,439
Speaker 2: a little ahead of the game because they played last

846
00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:55,920
Speaker 2: year and they want to see it. But it's like,

847
00:42:56,719 --> 00:42:59,000
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, but just because you want, just because you

848
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:00,640
Speaker 2: want to give up on the seat and see what

849
00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:03,320
Speaker 2: you got with with with with and you know what, Tenneby,

850
00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:08,799
Speaker 2: I could be completely backpedaling here. On Friday, if it's

851
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:12,000
Speaker 2: announced JJ McCarthy will be starting for the Vikings against

852
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:15,560
Speaker 2: against the Philadelphia Eagles, but it just doesn't seem like

853
00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:16,319
Speaker 2: that's gonnapp And.

854
00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:17,000
Speaker 7: I'll say it again.

855
00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:20,480
Speaker 11: We are what week seven coming up, There's plenty of

856
00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:23,560
Speaker 11: time to see JJ McCarthy if at that point the

857
00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:25,440
Speaker 11: season is going nowhere, because that's the argument right now,

858
00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:27,160
Speaker 11: well this season is not going to go anywhere. Well,

859
00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:29,400
Speaker 11: at some point then it won't go anywhere, right, and

860
00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:30,920
Speaker 11: you'll get to that point where like, all right, well

861
00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:32,560
Speaker 11: we know we're out, let's let's take a look at it.

862
00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:34,160
Speaker 2: That's exactly right if we but.

863
00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:36,480
Speaker 11: As of right now, the season still could go somewhere.

864
00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:38,759
Speaker 11: So you give yourself your best chance to get winn

865
00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:39,560
Speaker 11: against Philadelphia.

866
00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:42,839
Speaker 2: It's Philadelphia, and then San Diego. Right, so you lose

867
00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:44,480
Speaker 2: to let's say you lose to Philly and loose to

868
00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:46,960
Speaker 2: the Chargers and Wentz's average at best, well, then you

869
00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:48,799
Speaker 2: can say, all right, we're three games out of first

870
00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:50,799
Speaker 2: and you really got the feel, and maybe a couple

871
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:54,080
Speaker 2: more injuries, so then you do say, okay, let's go

872
00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:55,919
Speaker 2: ahead and give it to them and give them the ball.

873
00:43:56,040 --> 00:43:59,640
Speaker 2: So we'll see how it pans out. But that seemed

874
00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:02,200
Speaker 2: to be they are getting some guys back. Jackson will

875
00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:04,960
Speaker 2: play it sounds like Cashman will play, cash in, cash in,

876
00:44:05,840 --> 00:44:10,759
Speaker 2: and so some players are coming back. So that's it's

877
00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:15,279
Speaker 2: all good. When we returned Timmy five, three four, what

878
00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:16,040
Speaker 2: you got for us?

879
00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:18,160
Speaker 7: Yeah, one local team came back to Earth.
