Speaker 2: as nine to Noon does, and as we introduced you

12
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:50,199
Speaker 2: as you were negotiating the hallways of Twin Cities Orthopedic

13
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 2: Performance Center, I think for the first time in the

Speaker 2: history of nine to Noon and our friendship, I referenced

15
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 2: you as Benny G. Bettyg's coming up around the corner. A.

16
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 2: When's the last time somebody called you Benny G? And

17
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 2: b Does anybody call Ben Gesline either Benny or Benjamin?

18
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:11,959
Speaker 3: My grandparents used to call me Benjamin. I actually went

19
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 3: by Benjamin as a as a little kid, more so

20
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 3: than I.

21
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:17,039
Speaker 4: I can't remember what age I switched to.

22
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 3: Ben but Benny G has not been when I've gotten

23
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 3: a ton I've heard it a few times in my life,

24
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:25,039
Speaker 3: especially in the nineties during the height of the Kenny

25
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 3: G dynasty. Shall we say I got Benji some as

26
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:31,839
Speaker 3: a kid Benji though, yeah, like, oh, it's.

27
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,319
Speaker 5: Like the dog. So yes, this is uh.

28
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,039
Speaker 3: We get to go down the run of things that

29
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 3: people said to me in fourth grade to make fun

30
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:38,960
Speaker 3: of me.

31
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 5: Whatever, you know.

32
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 3: For those of you who are making fun of me

33
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 3: in fourth grade, I appreciate you listening now because I

34
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 3: know some of you are.

35
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 4: I had nerd Quist a lot yes stuff and you know.

36
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, see, we have names like he could be ben Benji,

37
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 2: Benny or Benjamin, and his name is Benjamin. Benjamin is

38
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 2: of the regal vers variety. Benjamin is a regal name.

39
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 2: Son of my right hand. Is the really the Old

40
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 2: Testament translation of the He's Eric, So he's he's Eric,

41
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 2: or he's em Paul. I guess I could be Paulie.

42
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,920
Speaker 2: Paul Alien was what I was teased high school for

43
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 2: having one eyebrow. Then I made the mistake mistake of

44
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:21,639
Speaker 2: shaving the middle of it and.

45
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 4: Messed it up.

46
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 2: So thus, uh, I need to have it waxed every

47
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 2: so often.

48
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 4: That's a really interesting.

49
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:32,359
Speaker 2: Story, you you this morning. At one time, Nordo, by

50
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 2: a caller John for Minneapolis, was referred to as Eric

51
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,919
Speaker 2: nord Quick. Nord Quick, you're just calling him nord quick,

52
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 2: but to Paul.

53
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 6: More like a speech impediment than an actual nickname. But

54
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 6: some you know, whether it's Benjamin's, you encounter Michael's, you

55
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 6: encounter Richard's, and it's actually like a serious thing, and

56
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 6: you know, whatever, it's your name, you just call you

57
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 6: what you want to be called, certainly, but it's like, no,

58
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 6: I'm not rich No, I'm not Mike, I'm Michael, right rich.

59
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 2: Ben Gasoline is a scribe covering a football team. Benjamin

60
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 2: Gasoline writes novels. Yeah, resides in Maine on the same

61
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 2: property as Stephen King.

62
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 3: May maybe at some point in my life we'll put

63
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,799
Speaker 3: the layers back on the end if I decide to

64
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 3: get more serious with my writing career.

65
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 2: Up there in Nordo's favorite town, Banger as in Banger

66
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 2: Main McCarthy concussion, McCarthy concussion. Rosmer gets a first team

67
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 2: reps unless JJ is cleared. Playing off the press conference

68
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 2: yesterday where Benjamin Gasline was peppering the head coach with questions,

69
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 2: So Frozemer plays Sunday, doesn't he?

70
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 4: I think?

71
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 7: So?

72
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 4: Right?

73
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 2: What leads you to that conclusion? You're the scribe, I'm

74
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 2: just the three chin to announcer.

75
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 5: Yeah.

76
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 3: I think the fact that McCarthy's still in the concussion protocol.

77
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 5: We don't know how quickly he'll come out of that.

78
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 3: It will take at least a couple of days, meaning

79
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 3: tomorrow is the key to it in a lot of ways.

80
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 3: I think because if you're taking first team reps on Wednesday,

81
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 3: which is the big day of the week, especially Thursdays

82
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 3: on a little bit of a truncated schedule because of Thanksgiving.

83
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 3: I think if Brozmur is taking first team reps tomorrow,

84
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,839
Speaker 3: which I have every indication to believe he will be, Yeah,

85
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 3: then you're getting the prep work, You're getting the game

86
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,479
Speaker 3: plan built with you in mind. I think Brosmur is,

87
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 3: you know, barring some type of a quick return for

88
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 3: Jad McCarthy and and the concussion particle, I don't think

89
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 3: it would allow for him to come back that fast.

90
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 3: I think it's bros Mur that will get the reps,

91
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,279
Speaker 3: which means it's it's going to be Brosmo that starts.

92
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,799
Speaker 6: Have you done any hardcore All twenty two film watching

93
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 6: to determine exactly where the potential concussion symptoms originated.

94
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 4: I've just been going with.

95
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:43,559
Speaker 6: I assume that when he scrambled, did not slide, Yeah,

96
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 6: got smacked pretty good, sat there for about two real

97
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 6: time seconds with both of his hands, kind of just.

98
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 5: Up the fencing response as they call it.

99
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 6: And he required it appeared a little assistance, a little

100
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 6: help from a friend to get off the turf. That

101
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 6: that might be the patient zero moment for him.

102
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think that's it. There was one in the

103
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 5: third quarter.

104
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 3: I think that Michael Parsons sacked him and he was

105
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 3: down for a second where the official kind of stood

106
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:07,600
Speaker 3: over him and kind of did the hey are you

107
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 3: good check in. He came back after that, obviously with

108
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 3: the scramble it was five minutes left in the fourth quarter.

109
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,479
Speaker 3: Actually got face masked on that play. If you watch

110
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 3: it from the end zone copy his face mask got

111
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 3: twist around as he's scrambling out and then gets hit

112
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,840
Speaker 3: by Isaam McDuffie. And then yes, when you talk about

113
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 3: his hands being in the air, that is the thing

114
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 3: that I wonder about because that is the common involuntary response.

115
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 3: People call it a fencing responsor of facing pose. He

116
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,719
Speaker 3: had a little bit of that, And I'm not a doctor,

117
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,479
Speaker 3: I'm not a neurologist, so I can't say that for sure,

118
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 3: but from what I've learned from covering this and just

119
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:43,799
Speaker 3: being a coach, that you go through concussion training protocol

120
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:45,719
Speaker 3: with the state High school league every year too, so

121
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:47,599
Speaker 3: you see some of these things. That's I think he

122
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,039
Speaker 3: threw his second pick on the very next Yeah, yeah,

123
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,839
Speaker 3: that would be the one that I figured Hockkinson helped

124
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 3: him up pretty quickly too, so that would be my guess.

125
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,480
Speaker 3: But yeah, there were a couple of times where he

126
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 3: got hit in the second half. Obviously got sacked five times,

127
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 3: so there were a couple of moments that may have

128
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:04,920
Speaker 3: played into it. But the scramble in the fourth quarter

129
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 3: would be the one where my mind.

130
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 2: Goes from lastly here, then we'll pause and we'll go

131
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:14,039
Speaker 2: marathon with Ben Gesling from the start rebume after a

132
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,279
Speaker 2: short pause from four and seven. From four and seven,

133
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,919
Speaker 2: that's the record. How do you think they handle the

134
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 2: final six? It is knowing what they have for twenty

135
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 2: twenty six becoming an a topic.

136
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it is. I mean, especially at the

137
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 3: quarterback position. I think that becomes the a topic because

138
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 3: you have to figure out where you're going to be at.

139
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 3: With JJ McCarthy, We'll see how long he takes to

140
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 3: come back from this concussion. You'll probably get a week

141
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 3: of Max Brosmer and then I would assume it goes

142
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 3: back to McCarthy, but they'll at least get a look

143
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 3: at Max Brosmer if in fact he's starting on Sunday.

144
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 3: You have to figure this out, though, I mean, you

145
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 3: have to have a decent sense of where can the

146
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 3: quarterback position go? How do you build around it? I

147
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 3: think it's that, and then there are a lot of

148
00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 3: players on the defensive side of the ball that you're

149
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 3: gonna have to make this on a couple of those

150
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 3: defensive tackles, I think there's going to be a lot

151
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:06,359
Speaker 3: of questions about the secondary trying to figure out what

152
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 3: that looks like in twenty twenty six. So it does

153
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 3: become about that, I think in a lot of ways,

154
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 3: because this is a team that's heading toward another very

155
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 3: pivotal offseason with a lot of draft picks and a

156
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 3: lot of salary cap decisions to make, so yes, I

157
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 3: do think that becomes a big part of what you

158
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:24,760

178
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 2: Now back to just to land the plane in the

179
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 2: quarterback situation here, if Brozmer plays in what ways do

180
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:40,559
Speaker 2: you think it will look different?

181
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:43,680
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, the thing we saw in the preseason

182
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 3: that he did really well was playing with some anticipation,

183
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 3: throwing to spots where he expected guys to be, throwing

184
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 3: guys open in a sense. And now I hedge on

185
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 3: that a little bit, because you're not seeing any game

186
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 3: plan for you in the preseason. It's very basic coverage

187
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 3: is it's backups that you're playing against. So extrapolating what

188
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 3: we see in the preseason and saying, oh, this is

189
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,959
Speaker 3: exactly what he's going to do in the regular season,

190
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 3: I think can be a little bit of a jump sometimes.

191
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 3: So expecting that he's going to look exactly like he

192
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 3: did against the Titans in August is I probably a

193
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,560
Speaker 3: little bit of a stretch. But if you get him

194
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 3: to transfer those things, that is helpful because we have

195
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 3: seen times where JJ McCarthy needs to play faster and

196
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:29,199
Speaker 3: needs to play with a little more anticipation. I think

197
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 3: if Brozmer can play fast, if you can get rid

198
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 3: of the ball, if you can make decisions quickly, especially

199
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 3: against the team that's going to throw a lot of

200
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 3: different blitzes, a lot of different looks. With Mike McDonald,

201
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 3: oh yeah, I think that would be certainly the most

202
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 3: helpful thing the Vikings could get out of him. We

203
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 3: saw enough of it in the preseason. If he can

204
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 3: do it in a more realistic setting, I think that

205
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 3: certainly could be helpful.

206
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 6: Now I've heard and i've heard him say this, I'm

207
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 6: just preparing every day like I'm.

208
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 4: Going to be the starter.

209
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, but that's not necessarily entirely accurate, at least from

210
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 6: the standpoint like he's spending a lot of time, whether

211
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 6: it's scout work and doing some other things throughout the

212
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:10,680
Speaker 6: week to help get the team ready. So really, at

213
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 6: least as far as maybe you know, how much different

214
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 6: will it be with him getting all the one reps

215
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 6: probably tomorrow and if the kid's not cleared from concussion protocol,

216
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:24,080
Speaker 6: Really he's he's kind of thrust into that spot, and

217
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 6: it feels like a different week of prep for him.

218
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 5: One hundred percent.

219
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 3: It's a lot different because now all of the resources

220
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 3: are devoted to you, the game plan is built with

221
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 3: your input. Hey, what do you like? What are you

222
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:41,439
Speaker 3: comfortable with here? How do you feel about this rock concept?

223
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 5: All of that.

224
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 3: You know, when Kevin O'Connell talks about the red pen meeting,

225
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 3: if we get to the end of the week and

226
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 3: as Max Brosmer, that's the guy. Max Brosmer is the

227
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 3: one that's helping Kevin O'Connell say, no, we're not putting

228
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:54,319
Speaker 3: this in the game on the call sheet this week,

229
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 3: the red pen goes to this play. All of those

230
00:10:56,920 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 3: things are handled differently when you're this starter than when

231
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 3: you're where he's been. Where it's you might get a

232
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:05,959
Speaker 3: rep here or there, but you're getting look team stuff.

233
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 3: You're staying after practice to work with Jordan Traylor and

234
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 3: just getting some work on your own. You have to

235
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 3: do a lot of self study. As the number two

236
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 3: or the number three. In the regular season, it works

237
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 3: differently than it does in training camp, where you're going

238
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 3: to get reps and you're going to get more coaching

239
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 3: devoted directly to you. In the season, it's about getting

240
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 3: the number one quarterback and the number one offense ready

241
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:32,200
Speaker 3: to play on Sunday. And if Max Brosmer is that guy,

242
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 3: that's getting those reps, which I have, like I say,

243
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 3: every reason to think he will. Yeah, that is going

244
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 3: to look a lot different than what he's had this season. Now,

245
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 3: Oh go ahead, Well, I was just curious. We've heard

246
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 3: it throughout the year. The coach has been challenging JJ McCarthy.

247
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 3: We've heard throughout the year, you know, challenging him to

248
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 3: such a degree really that it's all on the plate.

249
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 3: So we're making checks, we're making adjustments at the line

250
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 3: pre snap into the act, you know, getting into the

251
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,319
Speaker 3: right play. That does feel though in this instant like

252
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,199
Speaker 3: that might be a little bit different, And I wonder

253
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 3: how the coach kind of handles, you know, I hate

254
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 3: to say handholding.

255
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 4: That sounds you know, pejorative.

256
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 6: Or negative, but I don't think so in this case,

257
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:11,599
Speaker 6: just you know, trying to ease him into what is

258
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 6: a really massive spot with that defense and what lies

259
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:16,320
Speaker 6: ahead with an eight and three Seahawks team.

260
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 3: And in a building that the Vikings, not last year, notwithstanding,

261
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 3: have not had a ton of success in over the years.

262
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,679
Speaker 3: That is not an easy place to play out in Seattle.

263
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,080
Speaker 3: So it's a team that's going to be fired up.

264
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 3: It's a team that is in the mix to go

265
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 3: to the playoffs. It's a team that's enjoying its new quarterbacks,

266
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 3: Sam Darnold. So there's going to be a lot going

267
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 3: into this one for Max Brozmer. Yeah, how much does

268
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 3: he simplify things? I think you'll probably see. I mean

269
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 3: we saw I think a little bit of this on Sunday,

270
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 3: even in Green Bay. There were a lot more design runs.

271
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 3: I think some of that was saying, let's make this

272
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 3: a little easier for JJ McCarthy, let's build the run

273
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:53,960
Speaker 3: game as more of a compliment. And they were able

274
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 3: to do some of that early that. I do think

275
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 3: it simplified it. It made it more accessible for him.

276
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 3: I would I think I'd put it that way where

277
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 3: they were in better down and distant situations, he was

278
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:08,320
Speaker 3: able to work off play action. I think they'll try

279
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:10,840
Speaker 3: to do some of those same things for Max Brosmer

280
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 3: in terms of how much he's going in with canned

281
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 3: plays and you have package stuff that you can to

282
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 3: one thing if you don't like to look. I mean,

283
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:19,559
Speaker 3: I would imagine they're still going to do a fair

284
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 3: amount of that stuff. They have not wanted to pull

285
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 3: back on it. It'll be interesting to hear what Wes

286
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 3: Phillips has to say about it today as well. But

287
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 3: I think the key to it is finding enough plays

288
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 3: where it's not on the quarterback's shoulders to say I've

289
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 3: got to read things back to my third or fourth

290
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:39,560
Speaker 3: option and buy some time if the pass rush is

291
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 3: getting to me. I think the number of times you

292
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 3: can keep him from having to do that, it's helpful.

293
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,079
Speaker 3: I think they were moving in that direction in Green Bay.

294
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 3: I would expect a little bit of that to continue

295
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 3: if in fact it's Max Brosmer on Sunday.

296
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 2: What triggered you or what intrigued you so to speak

297
00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 2: with a Kurt Warner Yeah, podcast, I believe on ways

298
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:02,960
Speaker 2: McCarthy can play faster.

299
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, So Kurt Warner does these.

300
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 3: I mean there's a number of quarterbacks that do them,

301
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 3: but when Kurt Warner does one on the Vikings, I

302
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 3: typically try to watch because it's obviously a guy that

303
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 3: is an NFL Hall of Famer has a pretty remarkable

304
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 3: path from going from you like QB four to the

305
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 3: guy that kind of turned the NFL on its head

306
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 3: in nineteen ninety nine with the Rams and then goes

307
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 3: to another Super Bowl with the Cardinals and came very

308
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 3: close to winning a Super Bowl with another team with

309
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 3: a second team in the NFC, if not for the

310
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 3: n Roethelisberger is Sanntonio Holmes catch in the back of

311
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 3: the end zone. I was gonna say Hein's word, but yes,

312
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 3: it was Santonio Holmes and the James Harrison before halftimes

313
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 3: Harrison before halftime. Yes, when Larry Fitzgerald split those safeties

314
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 3: and it looked like, oh, the Cardinals are gonna win

315
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 3: this game. But so Warner is unique in the sense

316
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 3: that he's been at that level, but he takes the

317
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 3: time to do pretty detailed analysis of things, and it's

318
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 3: in with him because he's very opposed to pure progression.

319
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 3: Reads and the fightings you use a fair amount of this,

320
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 3: and he gets into a lot of this in the videos.

321
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 3: So it was interesting to watch it from that perspective

322
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 3: in terms of why he thinks pure progression is a

323
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 3: tough way to play sometimes because it does, in his view,

324
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 3: slow things down.

325
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 5: So his input on that, I thought was fascinating.

326
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 3: And then he also got into a lot of the

327
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 3: detail about protection issues and just route running details that

328
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 3: could have helped JJ McCarthy out if people are taking

329
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 3: routes a little wider to gain leverage before breaking back in.

330
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 3: It's a lot of nuancee football stuff, but it's a

331
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 3: pretty good watch.

332
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 5: It's about forty eight minutes.

333
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 4: Can you please define pure progression?

334
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, So it's basically, rather than trying to read coverages

335
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 3: from you know, pre snap, you're starting from one side

336
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 3: and saying, okay, this is one, and then I'm going

337
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 3: one to two to three, and the reads are you

338
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 3: start from one side of the field and then you're

339
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 3: kind of going through the list of what is there,

340
00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 3: and the routes are constructed in such a way that

341
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 3: it should take you from you take your eyes from

342
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 3: one to two to three relatively easily. But I think

343
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 3: his point has been if you're trying to read all

344
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 3: the way across the field, it makes it harder to

345
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 3: play fast and get rid of the ball quickly. And

346
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 3: a lot of teams do this and you'll I think

347
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 3: you'll hear Kevin O'Connell talk about, you know, voids and vacancies,

348
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 3: and I think he in his mind it's an easier

349
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 3: way to play because you're not saying, okay, what is

350
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 3: this team in I'm not having to look at Okay,

351
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 3: the safeties are Cover two versus Cover three or Cover four,

352
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 3: you know, the especially cover two versus Cover four in

353
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 3: terms of what the depths of the safeties are on

354
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 3: the wits.

355
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm not trying to do as much of that.

356
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 3: I'm I'm reading things out and saying where is their

357
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 3: space and I'm just throwing to that spot and O'Connell's

358
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 3: mind it should be a relatively easy way for quarterbacks

359
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 3: to play fast. But there's I think Warner has had

360
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 3: a little bit of a different viewpoint on this, and

361
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 3: and he wasn't raised in a pure progression world, so

362
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 3: I think there's a lot of things where he looks

363
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 3: at it and says, this is not something that worked

364
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 3: for me necessarily. It's just it's a different you point

365
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 3: on the way this offense works that I thought was fascinating.

366
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 3: I'm glad I asked, well.

367
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,119
Speaker 6: It is, but it is fascinating where and Pa and

368
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 6: I were joking about it a week or two ago.

369
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:10,440
Speaker 6: It's like, I wonder, you know, I wish someone would

370
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,399
Speaker 6: do like a D line all twenty two yeah, and

371
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 6: start a podcast channel.

372
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 4: Everyone everyone's got big opinions on.

373
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 6: The quarterbacks for the reason of course, but I've started

374
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 6: digging into some of these as well. I watched the

375
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 6: same video that you were talking about. I love Kurt's analysis.

376
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 6: I've watched J. T. O'Sullivan and the QB School, I

377
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 6: see Orlovsky on ESPN, and there's fifty other that we

378
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 6: could We could run down the list and name. What

379
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 6: makes it fascinating to me, though, is that I've seen

380
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:42,719
Speaker 6: multiple very different opinions either on what is wrong with

381
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 6: JJ McCarthy, what's potentially right. Sean Salisbury joins Barrero yesterday

382
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,359
Speaker 6: and he thinks that there's too much focus on the

383
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 6: mechanics and actually let the kid just sling it, yeah,

384
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 6: and let them loose and just kind of simplify some things.

385
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 6: It sounded like, Yeah, and then that can work on

386
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:02,359
Speaker 6: the other side of it. If you let them loose

387
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 6: with the wide bass and the weird arm angle and

388
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:06,639
Speaker 6: the shoulders, it's going to be nothing but a dumpster fire,

389
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 6: you know. And then in the end you just have

390
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 6: Ko and his pure progression system that some guys like

391
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:15,199
Speaker 6: or don't like. It's just kind of fascinating now that

392
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:16,960
Speaker 6: there is a massive spotlight.

393
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 2: Yeah.

394
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 6: JJ McCarthy and Kevin O'Connell inherently that there's still it's

395
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 6: fifty different voices, thirty different opinions, and in the end,

396
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 6: six games that.

397
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:27,640
Speaker 4: Have not looked good.

398
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, and the thing we should add to this discussion

399
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:33,359
Speaker 3: is that all of those voices, and I think a

400
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:35,680
Speaker 3: lot of them, I mean, Warner says this a lot. J. T.

401
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 3: Sullivan will say this. You'll hear Peyton Manning say this.

402
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:41,640
Speaker 3: They're not in the room. They're not privy to what

403
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:44,159
Speaker 3: JJ McCarthy is being coached to do or has to

404
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:47,200
Speaker 3: do directly. So all of this stuff we have to

405
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:50,159
Speaker 3: take with a grain of salt. Nobody that is putting

406
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 3: an opinion out online has the final say on this,

407
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 3: because none of us have all of the information we'd

408
00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:00,920
Speaker 3: need to make a definitive ruling on the this happened

409
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,399
Speaker 3: and this should have happened instead. So all of this

410
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 3: we need to take it with a little bit of

411
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 3: a granted's all. I had somebody last night that responded

412
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 3: to me on Twitter. It's saying, hey, so what's the

413
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 3: summary of the day. I tweeted out a tease to

414
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 3: the video and said, somebody goes well, so that must

415
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 3: mean it's O'Connell's fault, like, No, I'm not going there

416
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:20,359
Speaker 3: because I said we should watch the video. Yeah, because

417
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 3: there's a lot more nuance, there's a lot more context.

418
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:24,159
Speaker 3: There's a lot of times where I think the answer

419
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 3: to these things is well, it depends depends on the

420
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,359
Speaker 3: coverage you get, It depends on the leverage that a

421
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:33,200
Speaker 3: receiver has. You have to figure out what the right

422
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:36,479
Speaker 3: answer is in that particular situation on a down and distance,

423
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 3: what you need to do on a play. It's hard

424
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 3: to just paint with a broad brush and say, well,

425
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:43,120
Speaker 3: this is the one problem or this is the one

426
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 3: thing he needs to do different Sometimes the solution is

427
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:48,639
Speaker 3: different on different plays. And I think that's what makes

428
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 3: this job hard is you have to get to the

429
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 3: point where I've seen everything and I know how to

430
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 3: answer all of these different problems I'm going to face.

431
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 3: And when you're twenty two, it's hard to have all

432
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 3: of these answers right away.

433
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:05,200
Speaker 2: Special Teams Coordinator Matt Daniels, as we mentioned earlier, speaks today,

434
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:09,880
Speaker 2: what was your read on the punt return gaff down

435
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 2: by the five? Well, I mean we've seen that happen

436
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:17,399
Speaker 2: before where a guy is trying to keep the gunner

437
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 2: from getting to the ball, and that was I think

438
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 2: what Miles Price was trying to do. Obviously, he gets

439
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 2: blocked into the ball and then it's a live ball

440
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 2: and they get it recovered. So again it's a judgment

441
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 2: call thing where you're trying to keep it from getting

442
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 2: pinned back on your one yard line, but then the

443
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:36,879
Speaker 2: worst possible thing happens and you run. You end up

444
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 2: paying the price pardon the punt because of the turnovers.

445
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,719
Speaker 2: So it's one of those where he probably should get

446
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 2: away from the ball and try to just say, hey,

447
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:47,679
Speaker 2: don't get anywhere near it.

448
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:48,639
Speaker 4: It's a live ball. You know.

449
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:50,360
Speaker 3: People have different code words they use for that. They'll

450
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 3: yell them. He could have done that. I think he

451
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:56,920
Speaker 3: was trying to make a play that helped them out,

452
00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,440
Speaker 3: But in the end, the cost of what he tried

453
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 3: to do out wait any benefit that there might have

454
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 3: been from it.

455
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:05,119
Speaker 2: Ben Gasoline's Star Tribune, Star Tribune dot Com. All of

456
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:08,160
Speaker 2: this is courtesy of standard heating and air.

457
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 6: So if Max Brosmer goes out and performs well, doesn't

458
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 6: that just make things kind of weirder?

459
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 4: Post Sunday Sunday afternoon. In terms of how you you

460
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:20,720
Speaker 4: sum all this up?

461
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 6: I mean, you know, special teams he was mentioned it

462
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:25,199
Speaker 6: just you know, there are so many things that we

463
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 6: could probably dig into.

464
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:27,960
Speaker 4: As part of a four win team.

465
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, but I but I just now for me, it's

466
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 6: it's it's always been about, for better or worse. If

467
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 6: the twenty two year old is healthy to play, Yeah,

468
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 6: he needs to get all these rests. I agree missed

469
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 6: too much time. A year ago, we got the ankle bit.

470
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 6: Now this concussion thing that sucks. I want to see

471
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:45,160
Speaker 6: the kids so that the team can know. As you mentioned,

472
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:47,880
Speaker 6: but now this undrafted cat rolls in. There's a little

473
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 6: local love because he was wearing maroon and.

474
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:51,159
Speaker 5: Gold before purple and gold.

475
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 6: He just goes out there and goes toe to toe

476
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 6: with Sammy.

477
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:56,680
Speaker 4: D out West on Sunday.

478
00:21:56,800 --> 00:22:00,600
Speaker 6: That's gonna make for very interesting talkers posts Thanksgiving.

479
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:02,480
Speaker 3: It's gonna be fun if that happened, If he were

480
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:06,400
Speaker 3: to go out and beat Sam Darnold, the discussion on

481
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:09,719
Speaker 3: all of this is gonna get so tangled up that

482
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 3: it's just it's gonna be It's gonna be fun if it's.

483
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:18,440
Speaker 2: If you know, because O'Connell yesterday talked about I'm gonna

484
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 2: bring it up with him when he when he joins

485
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:20,920
Speaker 2: here within a half hour.

486
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 4: So I'm gonna frame it up the right way.

487
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 7: Uh.

488
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:28,640
Speaker 2: You mentioned getting getting to attack mode yesterday, and clearly

489
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:31,399
Speaker 2: that's been a calling card of O'Connell since he arrived.

490
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:33,960
Speaker 4: Yep, I'm asking him about some keys to returning to that.

491
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 2: So say, say Brosemer play Sunday and it's just a

492
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 2: tack mode out of the gate with Jefferson, and like,

493
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:46,119
Speaker 2: here's Jefferson for twenty six. Here's Addison, you know, with

494
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 2: some middle zone attacking thing that he just loved that

495
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 2: he brought from from Los Angeles. And here's Addison for

496
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 2: twenty four and attack mode is just the date.

497
00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:58,480
Speaker 4: I mean, what's that gonna be? Like?

498
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, I would think it would be very

499
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 3: interesting to see what they would do. I would assume I.

500
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:07,400
Speaker 2: Attack mode you think means the downfield passage, Yes, yeah,

501
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:09,439
Speaker 2: And they like to play that way. They like to

502
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:10,159
Speaker 2: look for chunks.

503
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:13,679
Speaker 3: That is different than some West Coast iterations of this

504
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:16,920
Speaker 3: where they are thinking, let's chase the big play. I mean,

505
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 3: they want to push the ball downfield, which is not

506
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 3: always the way you see this offense run. So yeah,

507
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 3: if they get some of that, it would be I

508
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 3: think a shot in the arm. But yeah, then this

509
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:30,199
Speaker 3: question of what do you do after that is going

510
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 3: to come up and we're all going to talk about it.

511
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:36,680
Speaker 3: I still think the final rendering on JJ McCarthy has

512
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:39,880
Speaker 3: to be the most important thing they think about. If

513
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 3: Max Brosmer goes and plays that, well, it becomes a

514
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:46,479
Speaker 3: much more complicated discussion. And I'm sure the local angle

515
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 3: has obviously influenced a lot of the discussion on Max

516
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 3: Brosmer to this point, and it will continue to do

517
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 3: so if he goes out and does that.

518
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:57,359
Speaker 2: I don't I've seen Max Brosmer behind the scenes, either

519
00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:00,639
Speaker 2: here or a team hotels on the road. We ride

520
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 2: the same bus to the stadium since a few rows

521
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:07,439
Speaker 2: behind me, I can't remember. It's it's I've seen this

522
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:11,919
Speaker 2: more times than I have not. Him walking around. He's

523
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:13,680
Speaker 2: not going to play, yeah, but he might play. He's

524
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 2: the backup right, walking around with like a laptop or

525
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 2: some type of surface pro or whatever. They look at

526
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 2: and and he's like always has it with him and

527
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 2: always is looking at He's always looking at plays. And

528
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:32,959
Speaker 2: I think he's the kind that can take on a

529
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 2: lot of that and not and I'm not saying remember

530
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 2: exactly everything, but not become overwhelmed with it.

531
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:40,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think that's right.

532
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:42,960
Speaker 3: I mean we heard him say that in the preseason

533
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 3: and the conversations I've had with him, and he's very sharp,

534
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 3: there's no doubt about that in terms of the understanding

535
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 3: of football and just understanding of the situation and the

536
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:53,199
Speaker 3: context of what he's in. I don't think he'll be

537
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 3: overwhelmed by the complexities of the game plan, so that

538
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,159
Speaker 3: probably will influence how much they feel like they can

539
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:01,479
Speaker 3: put on him. Yeah, but yeah, he is not, and

540
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 3: I think he's understood that when I come in as

541
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:07,120
Speaker 3: an undrafted free agent, I come in as the developmental guy.

542
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 3: I have to do a lot of this pull myself

543
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:12,879
Speaker 3: up by the boots drafts stuff because I'm not getting

544
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 3: the same investment that I would.

545
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:16,920
Speaker 5: If I was the tenth overall pick in the draft,

546
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:17,879
Speaker 5: and that's just what it is.

547
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 3: I think he understands that if you're going to survive

548
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:23,160
Speaker 3: in the NFL in the way that he came into it,

549
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:25,399
Speaker 3: because there are I mean everybody talks about Okay, it's

550
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:29,480
Speaker 3: a meritocracy, Yes, but if you're a draft pick, you

551
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 3: get more resources and more benefit of the.

552
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:35,159
Speaker 5: Doubt than you do where he came in.

553
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, and guaranteed money plays a lot into this too,

554
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:41,200
Speaker 3: So I think he's understood the context of it very

555
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 3: well and he's done everything he can.

556
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 5: To put himself in the best possible situation.

557
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 6: Kind Of a weird or dumb question, how much do

558
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:50,200
Speaker 6: you think it means for the rest of the team

559
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 6: just to feel some semblance of success. I mean, you

560
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:56,440
Speaker 6: think about, you know, fresh off of fourteen, changing expectations,

561
00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:59,200
Speaker 6: raising the kid. You know, maybe at this stage of

562
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:01,199
Speaker 6: the year there's biting the tongues and people that are

563
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 6: just happy to get big paychecks and not you know,

564
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 6: putting anything on anybody at this stage.

565
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 4: But how important it would it be just.

566
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 6: To feel like, Okay, yeah, that slammed across the middle.

567
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 4: That does work.

568
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:15,639
Speaker 6: The tunnel screen it works, you know, just have some

569
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:19,439
Speaker 6: moments of success, whether it's a win or a loss

570
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 6: on Sunday at Seattle, just to kind of feel like, oh, yeah,

571
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:24,879
Speaker 6: that's right, you know, we're still pretty damn good at.

572
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:27,200
Speaker 4: This despite the negativity of the season.

573
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:28,200
Speaker 5: I think it would help a lot.

574
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:29,720
Speaker 3: I mean, I think if you're able to put drives

575
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 3: together and string plays together. We have not seen them

576
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:34,959
Speaker 3: do a lot of that in the last three weeks,

577
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 3: and just that consistent level of success of hey it's

578
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 3: a first down here, oh we just got another one. Okay,

579
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 3: now it's second and three. Oh, now the first down,

580
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 3: and hey, we put a big play together, and we've

581
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 3: got a drive rolling, and now we're in the red zone,

582
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 3: and now we have a chance to finish this thing.

583
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 3: That can kind of revive a team. It's not going

584
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 3: to mean six game win streak that gets them into

585
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 3: the playoffs necessarily, but I think just having that taste

586
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:03,679
Speaker 3: of six that's that taste of something that's building momentum.

587
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:06,919
Speaker 3: I mean, Kevin O'Connell talk momentum all the time. Momentum

588
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:10,520
Speaker 3: matters in the terms of how fifty three guys think

589
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:12,679
Speaker 3: about their prospects for a season and what they're going

590
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 3: to put into it and.

591
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:15,119
Speaker 4: Maybe momentum into the next season.

592
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:17,399
Speaker 5: And so I think that stuff is useful.

593
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:20,359
Speaker 3: I mean, you know it the momentum from season to season,

594
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 3: you see different examples of this. Does it apply or not?

595
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:27,200
Speaker 3: I mean I can remember the Lions, well yeah, sure,

596
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:29,360
Speaker 3: but I let that win at Lambeau at the end exactly.

597
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 3: That's a great point, and you can see times where

598
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:34,199
Speaker 3: if you get hot and people start to buy in

599
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 3: a little bit, it can make a difference. Now there's

600
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 3: going to be enough changes to this roster that the

601
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:41,640
Speaker 3: continuity of one thing to the next is a little

602
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:43,639
Speaker 3: harder to apply than our young Lions team what it

603
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:46,639
Speaker 3: was full of draft picks. But I do think there's

604
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 3: value in trying to stir up some of those things

605
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:51,920
Speaker 3: at this point, even if the playoffs are not going

606
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 3: to necessarily be where it goes.

607
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:59,439
Speaker 2: Lastly from me, Seattle Seattle and the potential cat and

608
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:04,720
Speaker 2: mouse game who knows more about whom and why Sam

609
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 2: with Flores defense or Flores with how Donald wants to play.

610
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:10,439
Speaker 4: When you think of.

611
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 3: All that, well, I mean, I think there's going to

612
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 3: be quite a bit of that for both because they

613
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 3: saw each other a lot in training camp throughout the season.

614
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:20,360
Speaker 5: Obviously they have.

615
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:25,200
Speaker 3: You know, in the preseason in training camp especially, there's

616
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 3: a lot of this We're trying to go at each

617
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 3: other and you're also trying to get your offense installed

618
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:32,399
Speaker 3: and get your defense installed. But there are moments of

619
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 3: genuine competitions, so they have seen enough of those things.

620
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 3: I think Flores is going to have a good handle

621
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 3: on what Donald doesn't like. Certainly O'Connell is going to

622
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 3: have a good handle on what Donald doesn't like because

623
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 3: he's coached him to try to beat it. So I

624
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 3: think all of that stuff plays into it. I it's

625
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 3: always this is always the question of who knows more

626
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 3: about whom. I think it's harder for one person to

627
00:28:56,600 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 3: have an entire summation of what a defense is going

628
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 3: to do then a group of coaches and a group

629
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 3: of people to have a summation of one person and

630
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 3: what he likes or what he doesn't like. So I

631
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 3: think it probably plays in the Vikings advantage a little more,

632
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 3: especially probably having studied that Lions game and that Rams

633
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 3: game a million times throughout the course of the offseason,

634
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 3: they probably know the blitzes that got them beat, and

635
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:21,600
Speaker 3: I wouldn't be surprised if we see some of those

636
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 3: same things coming at him on Sunday. So yeah, I

637
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 3: think it probably plays in the Vikings favor a little

638
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 3: bit more. But yeah, certainly, always a fascinating thing when

639
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:34,120
Speaker 3: we come up to those moments we saw it with

640
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 3: Kirk Cousins last year too. And when you've practiced against

641
00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:39,960
Speaker 3: the team this much and this defense is as unique

642
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 3: is what the Vikings run, Darnald will have quite a

643
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 3: bit to go off of, and they'll have plenty to

644
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 3: go off of on him as well.

645
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:51,480
Speaker 2: Now Donald has fourteen gibs all right, ten interceptions, He's

646
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 2: lost four fumbles. The Seattle Seahawks have given the ball

647
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 2: away twenty times, second most in the NFL behind the

648
00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 2: Minnesota Vikings. So with the uh with with Donald, I

649
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 2: like how you laid that out about you know, things

650
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 2: that they know have given problems, but see it it

651
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:11,360
Speaker 2: can be even like like.

652
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:12,960
Speaker 4: Well forget Donald for a second.

653
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 2: Just in closing, would you say Seattle's offense with Jackson

654
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:19,800
Speaker 2: Smith and jigba Aj Barner is getting better. Their lines

655
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 2: big and pretty good walker into charbonnay and so on.

656
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 4: Pretty good offense, right.

657
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 2: Well it what what plays into this is kind of

658
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 2: like with McCarthy and and Patients required young hasn't seen

659
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 2: it working. Everything we've all talked about a million times.

660
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 2: I think it proves with Clint Kubiak, the offensive coordinator

661
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:43,600
Speaker 2: for the Seattle Seahawks. Patients also was required with that,

662
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:47,600
Speaker 2: you know he now, like Grant Yudinsky, who was here,

663
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:50,960
Speaker 2: he's the offensive coordinator for the Jacksonville Jaguars and he

664
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:53,240
Speaker 2: got that job at a very young age. He's super

665
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 2: well respected and his work with quarterbacks is well recognized.

666
00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 2: Liam Cohen calls the plays. So that's cool for Yudinsky

667
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:02,760
Speaker 2: and Jacksonville to.

668
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 4: Be raised that way.

669
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 2: With Clint Kubiak in his truncated offensive coordinator stint here yes,

670
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:10,720
Speaker 2: I think he did it with the Saints yep. And

671
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 2: now you know the Seahawks offense with ample skill position

672
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 2: guys and stuff like that. Yeah, Kubiak's calling good games. Yeah,

673
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 2: because he's doing a really good job up there. But

674
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 2: I mean a lot listening right now. A half decade ago,

675
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:27,800
Speaker 2: I don't think that ever would have felt that would

676
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:31,960
Speaker 2: be the case. But you have to be patient sometimes

677
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:33,960
Speaker 2: in super hard jobs, whether you.

678
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 4: Want you or not.

679
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:37,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, And I think the context probably matters. They're

680
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:39,719
Speaker 3: a little bit too where. I think that last year

681
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 3: because he was the coordinator here in twenty one, which

682
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:44,160
Speaker 3: was the last year of the old regime, and there

683
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 3: was a certain priority placed on one particular way of

684
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 3: going about things on offense.

685
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:51,959
Speaker 5: Namely running the ball right.

686
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:54,720
Speaker 3: And I do think, and having talked to play callers

687
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 3: about this over the years, I think when that was

688
00:31:57,360 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 3: the case and you knew that you needed to run

689
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:02,720
Speaker 3: the ball regularly, it does change the way you call games.

690
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 3: So I think that probably played into a little bit

691
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 3: for him here. But yeah, he was young when he

692
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:09,200
Speaker 3: got that job. People were very high on him. I

693
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 3: mean Kevin Stefanski used to talk about Clint Kubiak in

694
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 3: as high as terms as you could. I mean, this

695
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:17,400
Speaker 3: is back to when Kubiak was applying for like his

696
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 3: first job in the NFL. Stefanski was going to Leslie

697
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 3: Fraser saying, we have to hire this guy. He's he's

698
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 3: that sharp. And this was for like a wow, I'm

699
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:28,240
Speaker 3: like a quality control job or he's talking like twelve

700
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:31,960
Speaker 3: thirteen years ago, I mean very low level, like entry

701
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:35,480
Speaker 3: level NFL job. Stefanski said, this has to be the

702
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 3: guy for this spot, and they had developed a relationship.

703
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 3: But he was as high on Clint Kubiak as you

704
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 3: could be, to the point where he was going to

705
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 3: Fraser and saying, I want to put my neck on

706
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 3: the line for this guy and I want him here.

707
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 3: So he's had a lot of people that are fans

708
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 3: of the way he goes about it. Certainly he learned

709
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 3: from his dad, who's one of the best to ever

710
00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 3: do it, and this offense that has kind of grown

711
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 3: around the NFL. His dad is one of the big

712
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 3: architects of why that's the way it is. The Kubiak

713
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 3: Shanahan type offense that you see everywhere. Gary Kubiak certainly

714
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 3: is a big part of the reason. It's a big

715
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:11,080
Speaker 3: part of the reason it came here because Kevin Stefanski

716
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:13,360
Speaker 3: wanted to bring all that stuff to Minnesota when he

717
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:16,120
Speaker 3: became the coordinator. But yeah, so Clint Kubiak has had

718
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 3: a lot of people that are high on the way

719
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:21,480
Speaker 3: he does it, high on the way he thinks about offense,

720
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:23,720
Speaker 3: and I think that's continued to give him more chances.

721
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:27,160
Speaker 3: But yes, it certainly has paid off for them. Andrew Genoko,

722
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 3: the former quarterbacks coach here, is out there doing the

723
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 3: same thing and they've had a lot of success early.

724
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:35,600
Speaker 6: You know, they got Rick Dennison there too, the coordinator here.

725
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 4: Really, Yeah, he's the run game guy out in Seattle.

726
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 2: Now. He's won multiple Super Bowls with the Denver Roncos.

727
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 3: YEP yeah, that he was one of those guys that

728
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:46,200
Speaker 3: Gary Kubiak brought in here, and then, yeah, that makes

729
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 3: sense all of those connections. People kind of hire the

730
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:50,960
Speaker 3: people that they've connected with and worked with in the past,

731
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:53,840
Speaker 3: so that makes sense. Well, we give thanks for being

732
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:56,959
Speaker 3: able to connect with you each and every Tuesday, and

Speaker 4: It's two in a row. And this is not a

753
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:18,560
Speaker 4: good trend to see here.

754
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 6: Whether it was losing at the brink against Phoenix last week,

755
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:27,840
Speaker 6: last Friday, and then yesterday, you know, staking it was

756
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 6: maybe a little more competitive than you would have liked

757
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:32,680
Speaker 6: to see it, but still kind of the Wolves fending

758
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:35,120
Speaker 6: them off and you get forty three or forty something

759
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:38,400
Speaker 6: out of ant you dig that. But the Sacramento Kinks

760
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:42,760
Speaker 6: forcing ot and finding their way into the winners circle

761
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:46,840
Speaker 6: last night, this would be and you've chronicled it well, Pa,

762
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:52,239
Speaker 6: just team winless against teams with winning records. Team is

763
00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:57,320
Speaker 6: dominating and undefeated against teams with losing records, while the five,

764
00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:01,200
Speaker 6: while the four and thirteen sacrament Kings are now five

765
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 6: and thirteen after winning last night, And it's it's just

766
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:05,080
Speaker 6: a couple.

767
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:05,560
Speaker 4: In a row now.

768
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:07,520
Speaker 6: And you know I've mentioned it earlier. It's like you

769
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 6: got to just beat on the bad teams. Every win's

770
00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:13,200
Speaker 6: gonna matter in a weird West, and you'll find your

771
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:16,719
Speaker 6: way through things against the OKCS. But now tomorrow night,

772
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 6: six thirty pm OKCE Minnesota Timberwolves need to need to

773
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 6: wipe this bad taste out of their mouths hopefully find

774
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:27,440
Speaker 6: a way to beat the seventeen and one the thunder.

775
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:31,279
Speaker 2: Fib top fairness and being tired act, I didn't see

776
00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:34,520
Speaker 2: last night's game. I was absolutely cooked at about nine

777
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:37,439
Speaker 2: to fifteen, and that's when that's what I went to bed.

778
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:40,640
Speaker 2: So I don't I'm not going to pretend I looked

779
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:43,640
Speaker 2: at the box scorer, I read read a recapah, and

780
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:44,800
Speaker 2: I know something.

781
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:46,040
Speaker 4: You know, some things win to miss.

782
00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:49,680
Speaker 2: At the end, Malik Monk and DeMar Derozen had crackiced

783
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:50,359
Speaker 2: to win the game.

784
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:51,040
Speaker 5: They missed it.

785
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:53,480
Speaker 2: Anthony had a crack to win the game, he missed it,

786
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:56,799
Speaker 2: and then they lost in overtime. But I did watch

787
00:36:56,840 --> 00:37:00,880
Speaker 2: Friday and the loss of the Phoenix Sun. Yes, uh

788
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:03,799
Speaker 2: that you know as early season losses go. That one

789
00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:06,880
Speaker 2: as a fan of the how that one frustrated me

790
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 2: greatly because the Timberwolves did what I've seen them do

791
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:13,719
Speaker 2: a lot this year. They played in a way like

792
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:17,239
Speaker 2: we know we're gonna beat you whenever we put the

793
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:19,279
Speaker 2: pedal to the medal and we want to beat you,

794
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:21,719
Speaker 2: and they did it, and they look like, hey boy,

795
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:23,680
Speaker 2: you guys, time nothing up nicely. I think they were

796
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:26,960
Speaker 2: up eight points with a minute one or like a

797
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:30,080
Speaker 2: minute to go up eight, and then they start throwing

798
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:32,680
Speaker 2: the ball. You know, if the games in Phoenix, one

799
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:35,640
Speaker 2: pass went to Scottsdale, the other pass went to Masa.

800
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:38,600
Speaker 2: Then we got passes going to Glendale and they got

801
00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:41,440
Speaker 2: so sloppy at the end of the game. It just

802
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:43,920
Speaker 2: it just proves that if you let up an ech

803
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:46,480
Speaker 2: in this thing, Devin, when you have a team like

804
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:49,279
Speaker 2: that is Devin Booker, that you better be careful. Even

805
00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:52,359
Speaker 2: though he fouled out. But nevertheless, the Suns have a

806
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 2: winning record, So I don't really know what went into

807
00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:57,280
Speaker 2: last night. Sacramento is kind of ratty, but they're gonna

808
00:37:57,280 --> 00:37:59,640
Speaker 2: they're gonna get better. They were without some bonus, I

809
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:04,000
Speaker 2: know that, but they're getting better with Doug Christie as

810
00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:06,120
Speaker 2: the coach. But it's frustrating now.

811
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:08,440
Speaker 4: I don't know. Was it a look ahead to OKCE?

812
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:10,880
Speaker 2: Was it in any way a look ahead to OKC

813
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:13,719
Speaker 2: because that's the team that bounced us last year?

814
00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:14,319
Speaker 4: Did it?

815
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:17,560
Speaker 2: Did it with a plumb? I mean they were absolutely

816
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:20,160
Speaker 2: the right side in that series, and they got pushed

817
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:23,120
Speaker 2: more by the Indiana Pacers in the NBA Finals than

818
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:25,440
Speaker 2: the Wolves push him in the Western Conference Finals. So

819
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 2: that was frustrating. I'm excited for tomorrow's game just to

820
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:31,560
Speaker 2: kind of see where things stand. No, I'm with you there. Oh,

821
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:34,040
Speaker 2: by the way, Finchy starts tomorrow's show at nine o'clock.

822
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:37,919
Speaker 2: Chris Finch, coach of the Minnesota Timberwolves. Nine to noon

823
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:39,160
Speaker 2: tomorrow at nine.

824
00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:43,160
Speaker 6: Catching holiday strays of thanks as we entered the Thanksgiving season.

825
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:45,560
Speaker 4: Monday night football, Niners beat the Panthers.

826
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:48,040
Speaker 6: Panthers just can't they can't get offense going on a

827
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:52,399
Speaker 6: regular enough basis with the defense that provided turnovers last night.

828
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:56,279
Speaker 4: Brock Purty three three picks but still found his way

829
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:58,520
Speaker 4: into the end zone. Christian McCaffrey got a score.

830
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:01,840
Speaker 6: Kittle's hot right now on Jennings gets punched in the

831
00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:03,560
Speaker 6: swimsuit area as we would call it.

832
00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:05,879
Speaker 4: Is that what he did? Yeah, he got the Merrig thing.

833
00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:09,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, Merrig I think just absolutely straight up like kind

834
00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:11,480
Speaker 6: of look look like an again in the game uppercut,

835
00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:14,040
Speaker 6: Yeah wow, as a play was ending, and then that's

836
00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:15,520
Speaker 6: why he went after him after the game.

837
00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:18,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, Dwan Jennings, from what I've heard from from people

838
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:21,200
Speaker 2: who either have played with him or know him quite well,

839
00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:23,520
Speaker 2: one of the last guys in the NFL that you

840
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 2: want to mess with because he's bigger and stronger than

841
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:30,879
Speaker 2: people think as a wide receiver and he just hey,

842
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:33,440
Speaker 2: he has the anchor jing and he's just a tough,

843
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:34,160
Speaker 2: tough guy.

844
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:34,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, don't.

845
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:38,600
Speaker 6: Uh, well, frankly, just a general courtesy in the battle

846
00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:39,240
Speaker 6: or otherwise.

847
00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:41,160
Speaker 4: How but you just not jab people in the in

848
00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:41,879
Speaker 4: the sack.

849
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:44,839
Speaker 6: I mean, that's that's probably just a right, a good

850
00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:47,439
Speaker 6: rule to live by in general, game or no game.

851
00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:52,080
Speaker 6: The Niners, though, are eight and four, and as they

852
00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:54,640
Speaker 6: they didn't look great, but they're finding their way to victory.

853
00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:56,200
Speaker 6: And that's kind of where I was going, I mean

854
00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:58,680
Speaker 6: down the stretch here. They're eight and four and in

855
00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:01,920
Speaker 6: the playoffs as of now, but they're at Cleveland. They

856
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:06,000
Speaker 6: get a bye, then they get the Titans, Bears, and Seahawks.

857
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:07,920
Speaker 6: The finale at home. They do go to Indy. That's

858
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:09,719
Speaker 6: gonna be a tough one. That's prime time as well.

859
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:13,839
Speaker 6: But this schedule is laying out for an injured Niners team. Yeah,

860
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:16,600
Speaker 6: that is strapping mac Jones out there and now perty's

861
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:19,040
Speaker 6: throwing three picks, but they're getting by the bad Panthers.

862
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:22,920
Speaker 6: Like this is a team that with Shanahan and company

863
00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:25,720
Speaker 6: maybe by nature of the schedule, but also getting healthy

864
00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:28,280
Speaker 6: at the right time. Like there, once again, you cannot

865
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:32,000
Speaker 6: talk about the NFC playoffs and Rams and Eagles without

866
00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:33,839
Speaker 6: talking about Shanahan's Niners, Right.

867
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:38,080
Speaker 2: It just further person adviz why, like nine to Noon

868
00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:41,320
Speaker 2: started eight years ago, we call him next level Shanning.

869
00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:44,440
Speaker 2: He's just next level with a lot of different things.

870
00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:46,520
Speaker 2: With the way I mean, they don't you know, they

871
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:48,759
Speaker 2: don't always get to where they thought they were going

872
00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:52,600
Speaker 2: to go injuries or not. But to not have Brandon Aiyuk, okay,

873
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:55,840
Speaker 2: you can work around that. Then they lose George Kittle

874
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:58,919
Speaker 2: for a large patch of games. Fred Warner is out

875
00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:01,279
Speaker 2: for the year. One of the best middle linebackers in

876
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:04,759
Speaker 2: the NFL. Nick Bosa is out for the year, one

877
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:07,560
Speaker 2: of the best pass rushers in the NFL. They let

878
00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:10,839
Speaker 2: Hufonga walk in the off season. He's helping some team

879
00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:13,960
Speaker 2: I can't remember which one might be Broncos. Yeah, the Broncos,

880
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:16,680
Speaker 2: thank you. And he's really playing out of his mind

881
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:20,759
Speaker 2: for that good Broncos defense. Whufonga though, But through it all,

882
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:24,880
Speaker 2: they keep doing this and it personifies the age old cliche.

883
00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:26,760
Speaker 4: It doesn't.

884
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:28,759
Speaker 2: It's either it doesn't matter how you get to the

885
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:31,440
Speaker 2: winner circle. As long as you get there, we're all

886
00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:34,440
Speaker 2: getting our pictures taken. Or the mark of a good

887
00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:36,120
Speaker 2: team is one of the plays poorly and finds a

888
00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:38,480
Speaker 2: way to win. And it doesn't matter what the margin

889
00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:40,800
Speaker 2: of victory it is is it matters what goes in

890
00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:44,200
Speaker 2: the left column you start worrying about or thinking about

891
00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:47,560
Speaker 2: more style points or margin of victory or how you're

892
00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:53,160
Speaker 2: putting things together for the postseason after this upcoming Sunday.

893
00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:55,560
Speaker 2: That's why I said the best of the best ever

894
00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:59,440
Speaker 2: the best. They start taking off right now, either this

895
00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:03,000
Speaker 2: week or the next week after the Sunday games.

896
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:04,280
Speaker 4: It'd be interesting to watch.
