They just 157 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,839 Speaker 3: start from the good organized pressure in your own end 158 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:53,200 Speaker 3: and you know, the if you can dislodge some pucks 159 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 3: or you know, the power plays trying to keep the 160 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:56,840 Speaker 3: puck in and if you're in the right roots and 161 00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:00,960 Speaker 3: you have good, good uh pressure on the off then 162 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:02,600 Speaker 3: you can generate some offense from them. 163 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 1: Is that something coaches can see on film, Like you 164 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 1: watch an opponent's power play after power play after power play, 165 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,840 Speaker 1: and you know you see that you know, maybe something's 166 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 1: happening where maybe you can jump something. 167 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:22,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what, it's not so much jumping jumping 168 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 3: something or where they could telegraph that they're going to 169 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 3: give up shorthanded goals. I think a lot of it 170 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 3: comes from as I said, I think if they a 171 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:32,960 Speaker 3: lot of the shorthanded goals will come from your penalty 172 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:34,880 Speaker 3: killed four check where you can turn a puck over 173 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 3: at the defensive blue line and they're all coming in 174 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 3: in their breakout. So if there's a turnover, it's an 175 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:42,120 Speaker 3: automatic odd man rush. And a lot of times in pressure, 176 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:43,720 Speaker 3: when you look at a lot of power plays, usually 177 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 3: there's only one player at the top. So if you 178 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:49,000 Speaker 3: can pressure rebounds or rims or bobble puffs on the 179 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:52,160 Speaker 3: other team and get the pressure, there's only one guy left. 180 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:56,520 Speaker 1: To beat John Hines, coach of the Minnesota Wild Victoria's 181 00:09:56,559 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 1: five consecutive They're at Chicago tomorrow night on KF then 182 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 1: here on Friday at Grand Casino Arena to take on 183 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:09,000 Speaker 1: the rough and tumble Colorado Avalanche Matt Baldy and Coroll 184 00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:12,199 Speaker 1: cabrisof Baldy and cabrisof Holy Cow. I mean, they they 185 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:14,959 Speaker 1: seem to have settled into a nice little match race 186 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 1: for goal scoring supremacy. Each has thirteen. But what has 187 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:24,520 Speaker 1: been solid with their overall games during this excellent month 188 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:29,800 Speaker 1: of play. 189 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:28,840 Speaker 3: Well, I think when those I mean those three guys 190 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:32,240 Speaker 3: are highly highly skilled players and highly talented players, but 191 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 3: you know, when they play both sides of the puck, 192 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:36,840 Speaker 3: both of them care about keeping the puck ey of 193 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,720 Speaker 3: their own net, and they they're driven by you know, 194 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 3: scoring as well. But when they play a really complete 195 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 3: two way game, it allows them. When they're fully engaged 196 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:48,560 Speaker 3: on both sides of the puff, usually that's when they're 197 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,160 Speaker 3: generating a lot of offense, and you know they're doing 198 00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:53,840 Speaker 3: it in numerous ways. They're getting you know, they're shooting 199 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:56,440 Speaker 3: it right past the goalie when they have opportunities, they're 200 00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,439 Speaker 3: getting tips, they're getting rebounds, so they're they're they're creating 201 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 3: offense and scoring in multiple ways. And that's what makes 202 00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:04,240 Speaker 3: those guys hard to defend. 203 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:09,720 Speaker 1: It, I would imagine was dynamite getting Bogosian back. And 204 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,440 Speaker 1: you know, from what I did see in the Winnipeg game, 205 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 1: despite having a football game in Wisconsin, uh, Bagosian seemed 206 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,400 Speaker 1: to be a beast at Winnipeg. What what's great about 207 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 1: having him back? 208 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,239 Speaker 3: Well, he's another I mean, he's a big, strong, skating defenseman. 209 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 3: He's physical. His skating as a factor whether it's offensively 210 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:32,200 Speaker 3: being able to join the rusher or break bucks out. 211 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:34,480 Speaker 3: But he's just the like, he's a hard guy to 212 00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,920 Speaker 3: play against. He's big and strong, he plays hard, and 213 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,200 Speaker 3: he contributes on both sides of the puck. You know, 214 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 3: I think he does a nice job because of his skating, 215 00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,400 Speaker 3: whether it's rush defense or closing in the defensive zone. 216 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:47,960 Speaker 3: But also he can get back for pucks on the breakout. 217 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:50,480 Speaker 3: He has the speed to be able to join the 218 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:52,600 Speaker 3: rush as a defenseman and be a factor because he's 219 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,240 Speaker 3: a good skating guy. So it's nice to see him back. 220 00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,960 Speaker 1: Time for a few more for John Hines, coach of 221 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 1: the Minutes, so wild and at Chicago tomorrow night, which 222 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:07,520 Speaker 1: means Connor Bodard, you guys have ze bullyam Uh. There's 223 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 1: let's say, Celebrini in San Jose, Matthew Schaeffer in Uh 224 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:17,239 Speaker 1: with the Islanders. I mean, some big time young stars 225 00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:20,440 Speaker 1: all around the league. Man, is is there a trend 226 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:22,120 Speaker 1: of any sort developing with that? 227 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:26,320 Speaker 3: Yeah? I think so. I mean it's I think the 228 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,680 Speaker 3: way that the game has changed and the rules have changed. 229 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,080 Speaker 3: You can you know, these kids are coming up and 230 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 3: they're they've played on big stages, whether it's college or 231 00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,960 Speaker 3: junior or the World Juniors. Some of them have gone 232 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 3: over to the World Championships, the men's Senior World Championships, 233 00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:43,720 Speaker 3: like Zee did last year, with not a lot of 234 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:47,200 Speaker 3: pro experience. So I think these kids are exposed to 235 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:51,920 Speaker 3: too high, high stakes environments, so they're used to those things. 236 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,680 Speaker 3: But also they're they're you know, they're all physically fit, 237 00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,439 Speaker 3: they're strong, they're fast, they're skilled, and I think that's 238 00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,960 Speaker 3: the way the league's trending. So it's it's been interesting 239 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,559 Speaker 3: to see how many young guys can come in and 240 00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:03,920 Speaker 3: and be impact players. 241 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 1: What what are you liking about zeb these days, I think. 242 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,640 Speaker 3: These continues to grow. You know, I think he's finding 243 00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,920 Speaker 3: opportunities when he can, when he can use his offensive 244 00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:18,400 Speaker 3: instincts and and and uh and great offense. But I 245 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,120 Speaker 3: also think that he's learning, you know, when you're coming 246 00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,559 Speaker 3: out of your own end, particularly like on breakouts or 247 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:26,560 Speaker 3: new to his own transitions, that you know, it's just 248 00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:29,080 Speaker 3: moving the puck quick and simply. And you know a 249 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,200 Speaker 3: lot of times in the NHL it's it's a much 250 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 3: more organized league. Players are in the right spots all 251 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 3: the time. So his ability, I think to be able 252 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:40,040 Speaker 3: to move pucks quick have been good. And I think 253 00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:44,640 Speaker 3: he's learning how important you know, defending is at this 254 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,600 Speaker 3: level because the talented players. So it's good to see him. 255 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:49,719 Speaker 3: He's a coachable kid, and he's willing to play both 256 00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,400 Speaker 3: sides of the puck, and we got to keep keep 257 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,120 Speaker 3: helping him grow and he's got to continue to put 258 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 3: the work in. 259 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 1: What what about Connor Bedard, who you get tomorrow night. 260 00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:00,319 Speaker 1: He's been around for a little while now and has 261 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:03,600 Speaker 1: better players around him now and then probably will get 262 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:07,600 Speaker 1: better as the years go on. What the maturation of 263 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:09,720 Speaker 1: Connor Bedard's game? What are you noticing. 264 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think he's a more he's a more mature player. 265 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:16,880 Speaker 3: You know, he's always been, I think a deadly offensive threat, 266 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,520 Speaker 3: but he's a guy now he's kind of creating offense, 267 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 3: like I talked about with Boldie and Capri Soft, creating 268 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 3: offense in multiple ways. He's you know, when he has 269 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 3: open ice and easy ice, he's going to be a 270 00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 3: deadly threat. But you know, you're see him more in 271 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:32,480 Speaker 3: the offensive zone and getting into the art areas offensively. 272 00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 3: So he's he's he's definitely taking a step this year 273 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:36,880 Speaker 3: in those areas. 274 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,800 Speaker 1: Final one for John Hines, coach of the Minnesota Wild. 275 00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:46,400 Speaker 1: Your goalies are they're responding. They seem to be responding 276 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 1: to the others quality performances and and obviously you know 277 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 1: they're going to represent on their own as well as 278 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:56,640 Speaker 1: they can. But it just seems from afar John that 279 00:14:56,680 --> 00:15:00,600 Speaker 1: they're pushing each other in a roundabout way. Is that 280 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:01,720 Speaker 1: the right way to look at it? 281 00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:05,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's a It's a great situation to 282 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 3: have both of them, both guys are playing at the 283 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 3: top of their game. Uh, they have a great relationship. 284 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:12,720 Speaker 3: I think they support each other, but they also push 285 00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:16,440 Speaker 3: each other. So I think it's a healthy competition and 286 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:18,320 Speaker 3: and I think it's nice when you're when you have 287 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:20,440 Speaker 3: a goaltending tandem and you know the guy next to you, 288 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,040 Speaker 3: when it's his turn to play, he's gonna you know, 289 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:24,760 Speaker 3: he's going to put his best foot forward and try 290 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:26,920 Speaker 3: to put the team in a position to win. And 291 00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,840 Speaker 3: I think it's it gives the other guy, you know, 292 00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,200 Speaker 3: an opportunity sometimes to take a little bit of a 293 00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:35,680 Speaker 3: mental break. Work with our goalie coach, Freddie Shabat, so 294 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:39,360 Speaker 3: they both stayed mentally and physically I think, fresh and 295 00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:41,840 Speaker 3: on top of their game. So it's been it's been 296 00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:44,120 Speaker 3: great to see them play the way they played and 297 00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:46,840 Speaker 3: also continue to push each other in a healthy competition. 298 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:50,880 Speaker 1: And and off that last late, how do you determine 299 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,880 Speaker 1: with with your goalies, how do you determine which one 300 00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:56,320 Speaker 1: to use when they both are rested? 301 00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:01,720 Speaker 3: Uh, some as it would go, We've kind of gone 302 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 3: with a little bit of a rotation lately where both guys. 303 00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:06,680 Speaker 3: We want to keep them both playing because they're they're 304 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:08,520 Speaker 3: they're competitive and like I said, I think when the 305 00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:10,800 Speaker 3: guy that doesn't play, he has the opportunity to get 306 00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,760 Speaker 3: a little bit of extra practice and work on specific 307 00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,840 Speaker 3: things to his game. Sometimes we might look at the opponent, 308 00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:20,000 Speaker 3: you know, the opponent's strengths versus you know, both the 309 00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:22,320 Speaker 3: goalies are a little bit different. So sometimes we look at, 310 00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:25,400 Speaker 3: you know, what the opponent brings to the table versus 311 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:27,720 Speaker 3: what which goaltender we would want to play that night. 312 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:32,520 Speaker 1: Fantastic, my man, Happy Thanksgiving.

Ah, 566 00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:17,680 Speaker 1: what's a block shot in football? Well, it's a Kevin o'connellism. 567 00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:22,000 Speaker 1: That is a pass defense by a defensive lineman and 568 00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:23,360 Speaker 1: those lead to turnovers. 569 00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:25,960 Speaker 2: Well, it's because he knows the power of a completion 570 00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:28,840 Speaker 2: and when you take that away from your opponent, that's 571 00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:30,400 Speaker 2: a nothing but good times. 572 00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:34,800 Speaker 1: Jalen Redman has been nothing but good news since arriving, 573 00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:38,520 Speaker 1: and he gets the Thanksgiving week stray of kindness. 574 00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:40,920 Speaker 2: Oh that's beautiful.

You can't look down 578 00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:53,880 Speaker 2: on Will Record and all those bombs from fifty plus 579 00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:58,760 Speaker 2: and him keeping him keeping his oath. Might you say, 580 00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:01,360 Speaker 2: in terms of when he's on the field, it feels 581 00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:04,560 Speaker 2: guaranteed as good as he's been in combination. 582 00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:07,840 Speaker 1: How about the punter? How about seventy seven yard punts 583 00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:08,680 Speaker 1: from Ryan Wright? 584 00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:12,120 Speaker 2: How about that almost old school coffin corner one at 585 00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:15,320 Speaker 2: Lambeau that went out at the two. Of all the things, 586 00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:17,800 Speaker 2: maybe for a four and seven team that we can nitpick, 587 00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:20,200 Speaker 2: and there's plenty to do.

Bot is incredibly valuable to a 596 00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:50,360 Speaker 1: team desperate to score. And somehow and aroundabout way, the 597 00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:52,959 Speaker 1: Vikings offense just caught astray and that's not the purpose 598 00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:55,840 Speaker 1: of the conversation.

Drake Lindsey will 607 00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:36,000 Speaker 1: give sky Yuma a chance to nab some quality playmakers 608 00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:40,760 Speaker 1: and looks the part of an improving and wonderful quarterback. 609 00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:46,720 Speaker 1: Drake Lindsey, Welcome to becoming the recipient of a nine 610 00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:49,320 Speaker 1: to Noon Thanksgiving Week stray of kindness. 611 00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:53,320 Speaker 2: I'm throwing out astraya kindness to a particular player on 612 00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:54,000 Speaker 2: the howl. 613 00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:54,800 Speaker 1: Pa Is. 614 00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:57,840 Speaker 2: We have many things to be thankful for this Thanksgiving season. 615 00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:02,080 Speaker 2: I'm giving up some praise to Julius Randall astray of kindness. 616 00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:03,680 Speaker 1: Now you know this tough timing. 617 00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:05,640 Speaker 2: I guess teams dropped two in a row that they 618 00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:08,200 Speaker 2: probably should have won. That's ugly, and okay, see on 619 00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:11,800 Speaker 2: the horizon. We'll see what happens tomorrow night. However, Julius 620 00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:13,920 Speaker 2: Randall's playing some of the best ball of his entire 621 00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:17,719 Speaker 2: career PA. The scoring is terrific, his efficiency and percentages 622 00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:21,440 Speaker 2: are terrific. The three balls falling, He's added defensive intensity, 623 00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:23,400 Speaker 2: and he's I mean, he's diving. 624 00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:23,839 Speaker 1: For balls in the court. 625 00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:29,040 Speaker 2: Julius is completely freaking locked in right now and everything 626 00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:31,600 Speaker 2: that he contributed a year ago, making him kind of, 627 00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:34,719 Speaker 2: you know, the second fiddle or the VP to to 628 00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:38,040 Speaker 2: what we need and want out of Anthony Edwards.

Now. 630 00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:43,600 Speaker 2: If you just play in box scores and you look 631 00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:46,680 Speaker 2: at stats technically, I think maybe his five six years 632 00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:49,640 Speaker 2: ago with the Knicks, he probably had his best career season, 633 00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:53,280 Speaker 2: like twenty four and ten and six dimes. He's about 634 00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:57,200 Speaker 2: twenty almost twenty five, I think seven boards and change 635 00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:59,839 Speaker 2: and almost six assists, so the numbers look a little 636 00:34:59,840 --> 00:35:02,759 Speaker 2: bit lower, but based off of what we got last year, 637 00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:06,759 Speaker 2: it's truly remarkable and it's in every night situation, which 638 00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:09,839 Speaker 2: I think is very visible his impact on this team. 639 00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:13,200 Speaker 1: Julius Randall is absolutely on fire right now. 640 00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:16,880 Speaker 2: Deserves certainly despite these last two l's as a team, 641 00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:19,880 Speaker 2: Julius Randall deserves a massive stray of kindness. 642 00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:22,839 Speaker 1: And Chris Finch, he's going to catch a stray right now. 643 00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:25,719 Speaker 1: I mean they've lost too in a row.

I don't know 713 00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:26,800 Speaker 2: if he said abundance of caution. I don't have the 714 00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:28,719 Speaker 2: quote in front of me. Let's just say that, out 715 00:39:28,719 --> 00:39:32,760 Speaker 2: of abundance of caution, they put him in the concussion protocol, 716 00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:35,360 Speaker 2: which now means that if he does not pass the 717 00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:38,080 Speaker 2: protocol throughout the week, he was in meetings yesterday and 718 00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:40,920 Speaker 2: such expected to be around the facility throughout the week. 719 00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:44,359 Speaker 2: But if he is unable to participate and practice at 720 00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:47,520 Speaker 2: a high enough level, satisfactory enough level get through the protocol, 721 00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:52,959 Speaker 2: it would be assumed that Max Brosmer, undrafted rookie QB 722 00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:56,000 Speaker 2: from the University of Minnesota by way of New Hampshire, 723 00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:58,600 Speaker 2: that he would be in line to make his NFL 724 00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:03,520 Speaker 2: debut Sunday afternoon at Seattle. The hits keep on coming 725 00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:08,800 Speaker 2: for JJ, but also potentially a massive opportunity for mister Brosmer. 726 00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:11,920 Speaker 1: What do you make of all of that? PA? The 727 00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:17,399 Speaker 1: neurological pathways belonging to Max Brosmer will be addressed in 728 00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:20,680 Speaker 1: depth with Ben Geslin, the scribe from the Star Tribute 729 00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:24,040 Speaker 1: about ten minutes from now, and with Kevin O'Connell, head 730 00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:26,680 Speaker 1: coach of the Minnesota Vikings an hour and ten minutes 731 00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:27,120 Speaker 1: from now. 732 00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:33,000 Speaker 2: Fikes, bites, bites, Regardless of who starts, what's our level 733 00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:37,400 Speaker 2: of concern? PA? For both Christian Darisaw and Donovan Jackson 734 00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:39,799 Speaker 2: not being able to finish the game. And at one 735 00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:42,400 Speaker 2: point I was watching it while add in appearance, so 736 00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:45,080 Speaker 2: I'll admit I did not see that Deisaw had left 737 00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:48,279 Speaker 2: and would not return. I didn't notice his absence until 738 00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:52,000 Speaker 2: Rashan Gary got around Justin's school and forced what would 739 00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:54,760 Speaker 2: be the first of two interceptions on the stat sheet 740 00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:55,560 Speaker 2: for the kid QB. 741 00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:58,399 Speaker 1: Then I look into it. Okay, Darisaw is out. That's 742 00:40:58,400 --> 00:40:58,719 Speaker 1: no good. 743 00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:02,879 Speaker 2: Oh wait, Donovan Jackson's that's not good. That's worrisome into 744 00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:05,160 Speaker 2: a game regardless of who the passer is going to 745 00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:07,000 Speaker 2: be against the Seattle Front on Sunday. 746 00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:12,080 Speaker 1: Well, darra Saw had the knee, which basically is thirteen 747 00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:14,439 Speaker 1: months ago, close to it twelve and a half months ago, 748 00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:17,160 Speaker 1: So then you sweat that whole thing. You get him back, 749 00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:20,120 Speaker 1: and I think when he left it was two separate things. 750 00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:23,640 Speaker 1: It was an ankle and something else. So hopefully he's 751 00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:27,240 Speaker 1: able to practice this week and give brut give whichever 752 00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:30,360 Speaker 1: quarterback is going to play the best opportunity to execute 753 00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:34,440 Speaker 1: his toil with Brandell. He's if Brandell has to play, 754 00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:37,520 Speaker 1: then Brandell has to play. But Donovan Jackson, that's a 755 00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:40,680 Speaker 1: tough guy right there. Remember he played a game. What 756 00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:43,760 Speaker 1: game was it? It was like the Cincinnati game or something 757 00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:46,760 Speaker 1: with a broken wrist. Was he injured in the Falcons game? Played? 758 00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:48,120 Speaker 1: Thank you? Since the game? 759 00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:50,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, then missed maybe the first of the international bits. 760 00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:53,399 Speaker 1: I think he missed both, and then he came back. 761 00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:55,440 Speaker 1: But the bottom line is all you hear about in 762 00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:59,920 Speaker 1: paying tolerance is high. Read something this morning that indicated that, 763 00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:02,880 Speaker 1: or maybe O'Connell said it that he wanted to go 764 00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:06,400 Speaker 1: back into the game Sunday at Lambeau. So that doesn't 765 00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:10,359 Speaker 1: seem to be copyright Carol King. So far away when 766 00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:13,960 Speaker 1: it comes to the earth moving under his feet copyright 767 00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:17,120 Speaker 1: Carol King. I got no idea on a Tuesday whether 768 00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:20,000 Speaker 1: they're going to play on a Sunday. But the first 769 00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:24,480 Speaker 1: injury report is tomorrow. Practices begin tomorrow, and we will 770 00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:28,640 Speaker 1: have better information moving throughout the week. Bikes bites, bikes bytes, 771 00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:29,880 Speaker 1: Thank you, Thousand Hills. 772 00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:32,440 Speaker 2: I know that the border battle as bad as he 773 00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:35,040 Speaker 2: was the second half, in particular, as bad as he was, 774 00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:39,200 Speaker 2: the team ran for fifteen attempts in the first half, 775 00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:42,160 Speaker 2: and I think it was fifteen carries between the backs 776 00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:47,120 Speaker 2: eighty six rushing yards. And I'm curious from your vantage 777 00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:50,400 Speaker 2: point from the vox box at Lambeau, you know, conservative 778 00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:51,759 Speaker 2: game plan, this, that, and the other thing. 779 00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:53,920 Speaker 1: It was ten six at half. We weren't getting explosive. 780 00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:56,160 Speaker 2: We can go down the road on all the QB 781 00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:58,719 Speaker 2: bits as we know and have, but in the end, 782 00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:01,359 Speaker 2: just at a base level, his commitment to the run 783 00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:04,319 Speaker 2: in the first half, finding productivity there. Do you think 784 00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:07,000 Speaker 2: there's anything the coach can take from an otherwise awful 785 00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:09,000 Speaker 2: game and an l in the border battle, I get it, 786 00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:11,680 Speaker 2: but taking from the run game what he was able 787 00:43:11,719 --> 00:43:15,320 Speaker 2: to produce with Mason and Jones working that in throughout 788 00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:16,040 Speaker 2: the first half. 789 00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:19,680 Speaker 1: In the presser yesterday when Kevin was talking about it, 790 00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:21,839 Speaker 1: the way he put it after watching back the game 791 00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:24,839 Speaker 1: was that he got a little conservative. That he went 792 00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:27,600 Speaker 1: on the conservative side in the first half, which meant 793 00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:33,200 Speaker 1: running more in different spots, and that segued into the 794 00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:37,719 Speaker 1: attack mentality that I'm going to bring this up with 795 00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:39,560 Speaker 1: Kevin and I'll get it all squared away. From a 796 00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:44,320 Speaker 1: Verviae standpoint, but the ability to attack, the desire to attack, 797 00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:49,720 Speaker 1: what attacking has meant to the Minnesota Vikings overall winning, 798 00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:54,320 Speaker 1: but specifically offensively the importance of being able to attack. 799 00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:56,719 Speaker 1: I'm going to ask him about that today and see 800 00:43:56,719 --> 00:43:58,319 Speaker 1: what he meant, and then like, you know, what are 801 00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:00,359 Speaker 1: some of the keys when it comes to that, and 802 00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:04,799 Speaker 1: we'll see how we mixes in the running equation. Well, 803 00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:07,880 Speaker 1: the running game, no matter if you're doing it thirty 804 00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:11,920 Speaker 1: nine percent like twenty twenty two or whatever percent it's 805 00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:15,000 Speaker 1: at this year, it is vital and everybody in the 806 00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:18,280 Speaker 1: world knows it, because you don't have a play action 807 00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:22,080 Speaker 1: game if you don't have some effectiveness with your running game. 808 00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:24,960 Speaker 1: That's why in twenty twenty three, after there was no 809 00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:28,080 Speaker 1: Dalvin Dalvin Cook, you know, we of course are going 810 00:44:28,120 --> 00:44:31,800 Speaker 1: to pull for Alexander Madison and poll for whatever running 811 00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:34,600 Speaker 1: backs do. Jour made up the room that year. But 812 00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:37,799 Speaker 1: the nine to noon main concern in the offseason and 813 00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:41,880 Speaker 1: up to the season was is anybody going to respect 814 00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:46,919 Speaker 1: the explosive nature or lack thereof of Alexander Madison and 815 00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:51,880 Speaker 1: how will that impact safeties and linebackers taking bites bites 816 00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:54,040 Speaker 1: of that cheese because they think you're going to run 817 00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:57,600 Speaker 1: well with Mason and Jones. It's different where they do 818 00:44:57,840 --> 00:44:59,680 Speaker 1: have to respect that, and we did see that to 819 00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:01,919 Speaker 1: a c an extent on Sunday, even though things didn't 820 00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:05,279 Speaker 1: work out the right way. Good question. The ability and 821 00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:09,160 Speaker 1: desire to attack is something that resonated with yours, Shurly 822 00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:12,520 Speaker 1: from a KOs press conference yesterday. We'll hit him with 823 00:45:12,560 --> 00:45:13,879 Speaker 1: that about an hour from now. 824 00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:16,760 Speaker 2: Back to the O line for a second. Ryan Kelly 825 00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:19,960 Speaker 2: returning to the field on Sunday. Now, I do remember 826 00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:22,120 Speaker 2: a particular play. I think it was a sack by 827 00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:25,480 Speaker 2: Devonte Wyatt in the end, but it was started with 828 00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:31,640 Speaker 2: Micah Parsons inside working opposite Ryan Kelly and sent Ryan 829 00:45:31,719 --> 00:45:35,760 Speaker 2: Kelly flying. Other than that, bad moment, tough moment resulted 830 00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:38,400 Speaker 2: in a sack. Did anything else stand out to you 831 00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:40,920 Speaker 2: in terms of Ryan Kelly getting back on. 832 00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:44,800 Speaker 1: The field for the Purple at Lambeau. Excellent question. The 833 00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:47,480 Speaker 1: early stages of the game, you could tell he was 834 00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:51,600 Speaker 1: making an impact, picking up picking off guys in certain situations. 835 00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:54,840 Speaker 1: But I would imagine as the game went on, having 836 00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:57,960 Speaker 1: not played in quite some time, at least as this 837 00:45:58,040 --> 00:46:02,279 Speaker 1: season goes that, you know the fatigue and the wear 838 00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:04,400 Speaker 1: and tear is going to set in, so he needed 839 00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:06,719 Speaker 1: that race. It seems like he came out of that 840 00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:10,399 Speaker 1: race okay, and now he'll be heading into a race 841 00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:13,560 Speaker 1: in the Cappuccino Capitol, going against the likes of crafty 842 00:46:13,680 --> 00:46:18,200 Speaker 1: veteran Leonard Williams, eleventh year from USC, Byron Murphy the second, 843 00:46:18,280 --> 00:46:21,120 Speaker 1: second year from Texas first round pick in twenty twenty four, 844 00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:26,719 Speaker 1: sixteenth overall beefeaters Behind them include Brandon Peely, third year 845 00:46:26,840 --> 00:46:31,240 Speaker 1: USC and something called Mike Morris, third year from Michigan. 846 00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:36,600 Speaker 1: Then on the outside they have Uchenna Nwosu and DeMarcus 847 00:46:36,680 --> 00:46:40,400 Speaker 1: Lawrence who knew the former cowboy DeMarcus Lawrence. With Boye 848 00:46:40,560 --> 00:46:44,520 Speaker 1: Mafe behind him, they all could be a gap muggers. 849 00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:49,000 Speaker 1: But Murphy the second and Leonard Williams and Peeley, they're 850 00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:51,560 Speaker 1: going to be right up in Kelly's mix and they're 851 00:46:51,600 --> 00:46:55,200 Speaker 1: all big and he bet'll be ready to go last 852 00:46:55,239 --> 00:46:57,680 Speaker 1: wikebite for you. Yeah, this is kind of in the 853 00:46:57,680 --> 00:47:00,319 Speaker 1: realm of strays of kindness. It's a four win team 854 00:47:00,520 --> 00:47:03,480 Speaker 1: and what we expected versus what we've gotten a lot 855 00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:06,799 Speaker 1: of it hasn't worked out. Only two penalties a game 856 00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:11,080 Speaker 1: the last two PA only two flags, with Chicago only 857 00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:15,440 Speaker 1: two flags at Lambeau, What do you think was it? 858 00:47:15,480 --> 00:47:18,759 Speaker 1: Was it the eight false starts against the Ravens that 859 00:47:18,880 --> 00:47:22,920 Speaker 1: just had everybody looking in the mirror trying to figure 860 00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:25,839 Speaker 1: out how to operate differently, because that is a very 861 00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:30,080 Speaker 1: stark statistical change versus what we saw through the first 862 00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:33,440 Speaker 1: nine after the eight fall starts at home, I mean, 863 00:47:33,520 --> 00:47:36,759 Speaker 1: it's clear there was a flogging, and there was a 864 00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:40,160 Speaker 1: flogging potentially of many, and why wouldn't there be, I mean, 865 00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:42,680 Speaker 1: the fan base would come to expect you, right because 866 00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:46,400 Speaker 1: the head coach during and after the Chargers game was 867 00:47:46,600 --> 00:47:51,600 Speaker 1: made out to be some barbarian, some barbarians sacrificing man 868 00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:55,840 Speaker 1: on national television. So I don't exactly know what turned 869 00:47:55,840 --> 00:47:59,600 Speaker 1: around with the attention to detail being first and foremost, 870 00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:04,359 Speaker 1: playing responsibly and just paying better attention, but that undoubtedly 871 00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:08,000 Speaker 1: is something that has taken a positive term. We head 872 00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:12,160 Speaker 1: into the second part of the radio program from TCOPC 873 00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:16,120 Speaker 1: Twin City's Orthopedics Performance Center, home to your Minnesota Vikings 874 00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:20,320 Speaker 1: with a Ben Gesling beloved scribe courtesy of Standard Heating 875 00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:23,400 Speaker 1: and Air.
