00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,240

00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 2: pass rushing Rocko Gibralta run stopping defensive lineman precise we're

23
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 2: not just talking to normal media guy that doesn't understand

24
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 2: the game. I kind of get it, sort of not

25
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:27,960
Speaker 2: really been kind of a tough season, huh. And then

26
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 2: you know the win loss four and eight, I think

27
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 2: five loss in the last six games. But you got

28
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 2: to keep moving forward, right, I mean, it's like the

29
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 2: scheduled moves on. You know, you got to keep playing. Absolutely,

30
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 2: it's it's a tough spot.

31
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 4: To be and you know it's definitely I think from

32
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 4: you know, our team to our fans, the Vikings loyal

33
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 4: to be where we're at.

34
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 3: No one and saw coming. No one expected it.

35
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 4: But we got five games left and in this business

36
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 4: as an ultimate competitor with the guys we have in

37
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 4: that building in locker room, you know, our focus is

38
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 4: on finishing the season strong. We got a home game

39
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 4: this upcoming weekend and you know that's something we had

40
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 4: to be better as winning at home, and so you know,

41
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 4: our focus is just you know, putting out a good

42
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,799
Speaker 4: outfit every every Sunday and finishing the season out well.

43
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 2: I think a lot of it too. It's just it's

44
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:20,639
Speaker 2: just playing pride, right, you don't want to you know,

45
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 2: you beats twenty six nothing offenses and scoring. You know,

46
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 2: national media on TV, even US local shlubs are going

47
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 2: what's wrong with the club, And it's like, well else

48
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,360
Speaker 2: you want to go out there just just out of

49
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 2: just out of sheer pride right to put out a

50
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 2: good product and and win some football games.

51
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 3: Absolutely, And.

52
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,079
Speaker 4: You know I told this to the linebackers and then

53
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 4: as well as the defense even before our last game. Like,

54
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 4: you know, the circumstances situation we're in in our season is.

55
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 3: Not what we want. It's not what we were working for.

56
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:53,079
Speaker 4: It's not ideal, but uh, you have to play for pride,

57
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 4: and you know, play for the men next to you,

58
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 4: play for your family, play for the people that have

59
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,239
Speaker 4: supported you, help get you here. And at the whole

60
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 4: grand scheme of thing is, you know, the amount of

61
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 4: opportunity you get to step between the lines to play

62
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 4: this game is far from many, and for most of us,

63
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 4: we have less football to play than than we've had

64
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,360
Speaker 4: in the past. So it's like, enjoy the opportunity. Don't

65
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 4: ever take it for granted that you get to, you know,

66
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 4: put on that uniform and go put your best foot

67
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 4: forward every Sunday.

68
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 2: Does that message resonate with all guys or some guys

69
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 2: take it with a grain of salt, other guys really

70
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 2: absorb it, and then maybe in between. But does everybody

71
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,360
Speaker 2: pretty much understand the message?

72
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 4: I think so, you know Ko, he talks about it

73
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 4: and his presses all the time. Is you know, our organization,

74
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 4: our team, we got everybody made of the right stuff,

75
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 4: and as frustrating as it is, you know we are

76
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 4: still you know, putting in the necessary work where we

77
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 4: want to compete at a high level, not just for ourselves,

78
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 4: but we want to do it for our fans and

79
00:03:58,400 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 4: our family.

80
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 2: And you know.

81
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 4: That was the message that every person on our sideline

82
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 4: against Seattle last week, even when the game was going bad,

83
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 4: was like, Hey, we're going out here and we're gonna,

84
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 4: you know, send a message We're going to continue to

85
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,039
Speaker 4: play at a high level or put our best foot

86
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 4: forward no matter what the circumstances situation is.

87
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 2: Here's something I think that every player recip deal with

88
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,359
Speaker 2: it and correct me if I'm wrong. But you know,

89
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 2: we talked about of when you look at all the

90
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 2: sports across the board, football could be argue it's the

91
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,479
Speaker 2: most physical, the most punishing. By the time you get

92
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 2: from week one to week where we are now thirteen, fourteen,

93
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 2: whatever it is, guys are beat up. There's nobody that

94
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 2: doesn't have some aches or paints. How tough is it

95
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:45,039
Speaker 2: to when the season's not going well, you're four and eight,

96
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 2: your your it looks like no playoff spot yet your

97
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 2: beat up, your your your nursing ankles or hamstrings or shoulders, whatever.

98
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 2: It's got to be a tough grind every week to

99
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,359
Speaker 2: finish the game on Sunday, get yourself ready for another Sunday.

100
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, you're absolutely right. It is no secret.

101
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,840
Speaker 4: You know, when things are going well and you're winning,

102
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 4: obviously everything else is a lot easier.

103
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 3: But again, I'll just go back to the.

104
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 4: Word finishing, like I you know, if you're speaking with

105
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 4: I'm speaking with my teammates, I'm speaking with my family,

106
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 4: and you know they're saying the same things like, man,

107
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:20,599
Speaker 4: you just got.

108
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 3: To be exhausted. Your body's beat.

109
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 4: Up, everyone's you know, you know, mentally super frustrated. But

110
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 4: at the end of the day, you know, we have

111
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 4: a job and a responsibility to go out there on

112
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:35,280
Speaker 4: Sunday and win a football game. You know that that's

113
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 4: a responsibility to our team, the organization, to our fans

114
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 4: of the state of Minnesota.

115
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 3: So we're we're we've.

116
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 4: Been working hard, We've been playing football our lives. And

117
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 4: you know, you don't get to the position or the

118
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 4: level we're at by not being the ultimate competitor. And

119
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 4: it doesn't matter if you're winless or you're winning every game.

120
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 3: You're you're going out there to.

121
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,280
Speaker 4: Put the best outfit and to win the game, to

122
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 4: to play at a high level, to play a complete

123
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 4: football game.

124
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 2: Well this this comes up with Tennebe and I in

125
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 2: the air. Oftentimes, I think what some people lose perspective

126
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 2: was really the day It really is entertainment. I mean

127
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 2: it's like, you sit down, you enjoy watching football. If

128
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 2: you're a football fan, you know, you get you got

129
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 2: your you got your nine to five job or whatever

130
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 2: the case may but you settle down so you want

131
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 2: to at least be entertained. Win, loser, draw, And so

132
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 2: you know, people are spending a lot of money buying gear,

133
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 2: buying tickets, you know, watching TV, watching the commercials, going

134
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:34,839
Speaker 2: out and buying the products they see. So they're investing

135
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:36,279
Speaker 2: their time and money in you, and so yeah, you

136
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 2: want it. You don't want to just like well we're

137
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 2: just going to mail it in here because it isn't working.

138
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 2: It's it's an entertainment industry. It's like people that that

139
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 2: that that are in the movie industry, the music industry, television,

140
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 2: whatever the case may be.

141
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you know the nature of our business the NFL,

142
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:53,040
Speaker 4: especially when things go bad.

143
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 3: You know, no team is the same every year.

144
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 4: So uh, you as especially as a as a player

145
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,479
Speaker 4: and as a coach, you got to continue to be

146
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:06,600
Speaker 4: a professional, show up and you know, give good work

147
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 4: ethic every day, do your best to you know, perform

148
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 4: at the highest level and show up on Sundays because

149
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 4: you know, whether I hate to admit, but whether it's

150
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 4: with the Vikings are not a team. You got to

151
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 4: continue to produce because you want to continue to do

152
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 4: what you do.

153
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 3: And to keep a job in this league.

154
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm gonna try to ask this question the best second.

155
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 5: I'm very intrigued by the defensive playbook side of things, right,

156
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 5: Like we always hear about offensive playbooks and you see

157
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 5: the coach at the Perkins menu, we never really hear

158
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 5: about the defensive plays, and every time you get into

159
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 5: like third and long, it looks like there's a different

160
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 5: look you guys are giving.

161
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 2: So like, is there just.

162
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 5: Like hundreds of play calls that B Flow has or

163
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 5: is there a certain set of play calls and then

164
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 5: players are allowed to kind of improvise and maybe fake here, fake.

165
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 2: There, and be deceiving?

166
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 5: Like how does that work from a defensive play call, Sam,

167
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 5: because it seems like you guys would have like a

168
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 5: lot to remember.

169
00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, Flow, he's a mastermind. He's all he's

170
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 4: going to blitz, bring pressure. We know that, But how

171
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 4: we get aligned all the different looks we give offenses

172
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 4: is simply just to cause stressing chaos because teams have

173
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 4: to prepare for all of our blitz packages and to

174
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 4: present one thing.

175
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 2: How many blitz packages are there? Oh?

176
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 4: I mean like you, I mean we put new ones

177
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 4: in this season. We put new ones in every every week.

178
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 4: A lot of like the early down, It's like we

179
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 4: call them hot coverages where you know, we're we have

180
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 4: a lot up on the line of scrimmage. We're sacrificing

181
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 4: you know, individuals and coverage. But it's to stop the run,

182
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,839
Speaker 4: force quick throws h and you know, once we get

183
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 4: to we call g bots second long or third down,

184
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:47,439
Speaker 4: that's when we can get more exotic. You know, have

185
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 4: a lot of moving parts. We got all both safeties down,

186
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:55,960
Speaker 4: We got linebackers mugging gaps and honestly, that's where we're

187
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 4: at our best. That's where Brian Floor is at his

188
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 4: best because of the stressing chaos it couse team. But

189
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 4: you know, we we work stuff all off season, training

190
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 4: camp and then you know, going into a game based

191
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 4: off what maybe our opponent does well or what what

192
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 4: the quarterback struggles at that will shorten our call menu

193
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 4: and that's what we'll carry to the game.

194
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 2: Got it. Our guest is Blake Cashman, linebacker for the

195
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 2: Minnesota Vikings. Let me ask you this, what quarterbacks name

196
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 2: one or two if you if you if you can

197
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 2: or offensive coordinators are the toughest to prepare for where

198
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 2: you go? Man gotta fit. You know, I think a

199
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 2: lot of people thought about any think Pat Mahomes, you know,

200
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 2: we're or you know, but what what are the names

201
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 2: of the guys that you go you know, not this

202
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 2: and any other guys, but just the ones that rise

203
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 2: to the top of you go. These are the These

204
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 2: are the quarterbacks in the in the offensive coordinators that

205
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 2: really they'll they'll, they'll, they'll, they got a bag of

206
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 2: tricks like you haven't seen. Well.

207
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 4: First name that comes mind for an offensive coordinator is

208
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 4: Ben Johnson, head coach for the Chicago Bears. Obviously he's

209
00:09:55,720 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 4: very familiar with the Minnesota Vikings, being the OC for

210
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 4: Detroit for whatever how many years it's been. But he's

211
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 4: he's done a tremendous job. And you know, he has

212
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 4: a unbelievable mind and creative scheme play calling, and he

213
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 4: just does a really good job at I think even

214
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 4: this year with the Bears, at remaining patient through the

215
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 4: game against our defense. You know, he'll he'll just you know,

216
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:28,080
Speaker 4: take three four yards, take a quick throw here for

217
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:32,239
Speaker 4: five six and just he's okay with doing a fourteen

218
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 4: play drive even if it only ends in three points

219
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 4: rather than I think a lot of coaches, offensive play callers,

220
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 4: you know, they get they get hungry, they want to get.

221
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 2: The splash play, as I like to say.

222
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 4: But from a quarterback standpoint, you know, with our defense,

223
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:54,119
Speaker 4: with how complex and exotic it can be, the quarterbacks

224
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,079
Speaker 4: that tend to do the best in my opinion are

225
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 4: the ones that have a lot of experience, so.

226
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 2: You know your veteran coart.

227
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 4: Yeah. I mean, like even this year, an easy name

228
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 4: to throw out would be Aaron Rodgers.

229
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 3: He's seen it all.

230
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,679
Speaker 4: He's a very he's a he's a mastermind back there

231
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 4: in the pocket, and you know he has an idea

232
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 4: of how to identify pressure or if he does get pressure,

233
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 4: he has a hot throw right away just to get

234
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 4: the ball out quick. And it may not be pretty,

235
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 4: it may not be a highlight play, but it gets

236
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 4: the ball out. They avoid negativity and they you know,

237
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:31,320
Speaker 4: can try to stay ahead.

238
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 2: Of the chains that way. Well, well you get him back

239
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 2: to Ben Johnson? Is he is?

240
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 5: He? Is?

241
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:38,959
Speaker 2: He play calling different with the Bears, and he did

242
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 2: the Lions because the Lions seemed to be so expelled.

243
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 2: They were putting up thirty thirty five points a game,

244
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 2: maybe the highest scoring offense, and it seemed like they

245
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:49,559
Speaker 2: did do bigger splash plays. So is it my personnel

246
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:51,680
Speaker 2: and who I'm is that part of it tour or

247
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 2: is it is he the same coach?

248
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 4: You know, I will say some of it's different obviously

249
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,440
Speaker 4: because you have a different roster, have an offense with

250
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:05,320
Speaker 4: you know, a group of individuals with different skill sets.

251
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 3: So any good.

252
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:10,320
Speaker 4: Coach, any good play caller, has to you know, do

253
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 4: his play calling, build his scheme around the players he has.

254
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 4: And Ben Johnson does a really good job at that.

255
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 4: He you know, identifies you know, good play calls or

256
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:28,320
Speaker 4: schemes that put his players in winning situations. But you know,

257
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 4: if you do cut on the tape, there is a

258
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 4: little carryover obviously from when he was in Detroit, because

259
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 4: you know, he has his system he runs, but it's different.

260
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 2: I guess when teams play us, because.

261
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 6: We we we we're seeing you know, offense of play

262
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 6: calling where it's very conservative for the most part, and

263
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 6: a lot of that has to do with teams aren't

264
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 6: wanting to absorb any risk against.

265
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,440
Speaker 2: Us because when when when I would watch, you know,

266
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 2: Detroit hasn't been as good this year offensively, they just haven't.

267
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 2: But I wonder if some of that's it seems like

268
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 2: their offensive line is more beat up. You know, Glasgow retires,

269
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:09,439
Speaker 2: Zeitler leaves, and so is it more the offensive line

270
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 2: or is it you know, they you know, John Morton

271
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 2: was the play caller for Detroit. He got the playbook

272
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 2: Yang from him and Campbell started doing it first game

273
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 2: work well hasn't since then. So I sometimes I to me,

274
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 2: it's more than just the court. Obviously more in the court,

275
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 2: it's the personality have, especially that offensive line. If you

276
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 2: give guys times we say this all the time, there's

277
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 2: not a guy in the league that can't throw the

278
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 2: ball all over the place. You give him time to throw.

279
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, when you watch Love against Green Bay,

280
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:38,320
Speaker 2: on Love against Detroit and on Thanksgiving, he had all

281
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 2: day back there and he throws four touchdowns, barely throws

282
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 2: an incompletion. You give him time to throw. They're gonna

283
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 2: carve up any.

284
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 4: Defense, absolutely, you know. I think whenever a team loses

285
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 4: good coordinators, good coaches, good play callers, like it's going

286
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 4: to hurt your football team. I think Detroit, you know,

287
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:58,679
Speaker 4: they've had a lot of injuries this year. That always,

288
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 4: you know, is gonna stress a football team. You have guys,

289
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 4: you know, having to take on different roles or doing

290
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 4: roles they're not used to, or just even more of

291
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 4: a workload than there than that player is used to.

292
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 4: But you know, aside from the injuries, like you know,

293
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 4: I think, like with losing rag Now Frank Ragnow and

294
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 4: he retired, and then you know they got a young

295
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 4: guy up there.

296
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 3: Like there, Jared Goff.

297
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 4: Is somebody that he wants a clean pocket, he wants

298
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 4: to keep his feet clean. He's not the most mobile quarterback,

299
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 4: so if teams can get that interior pressure or just

300
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 4: knock back and get guys in his face, it's gonna

301
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 4: cause him to be a less accurate.

302
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 2: Well, well, you guys know about all injuries on the

303
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 2: offensive line. Darisa hasn't played every game. Your center's been

304
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 2: in and out, Jackson hasn't played, O'Neill missed a few games.

305
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 2: There are no consistency there. And if you can't give

306
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 2: quarterbacks time, I don't care how young or how veteran

307
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 2: they are. It's tough when you got a guy in

308
00:14:57,960 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 2: your face and you don't know where it's coming from.

309
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 4: I agree, you know, I think the game of football

310
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 4: is won in the trenches. You know, if you have

311
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 4: a solid offensive line, you have you know, a monster

312
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 4: front on your defensive line, like you're gonna make everybody

313
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 4: else better, You're gonna make everyone else's job easier. I mean,

314
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 4: if you're a defensive back and your defensive line is

315
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 4: causing quick throws or getting pressure. You don't have to

316
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 4: cover guys, So it's gonna make your job easier, but

317
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 4: it's it's very hard when you have guys in and

318
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 4: out of the rotation, Guys are getting injured, you know,

319
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 4: guys are having to play with minimum reps.

320
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 3: It It stresses a football team for sure.

321
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 2: No doubt about it. You guys got Washington this week.

322
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 5: Marcus Mariota has been playing the last couple of games

323
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 5: of Jaden Daniels out with that elbow injury, and then

324
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 5: there's kind of not a lot of clarity on when

325
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 5: his return will be. If it's possible he could play

326
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 5: this week. How does that How does that change your

327
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 5: preparation when you don't really one hundred percent know which

328
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 5: quarterback is going to start.

329
00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's doesn't make it easier, but you know, we'll

330
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 4: we'll look at what the play calling is for who's

331
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 4: under center, and you know, we'll have a plan.

332
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 3: For for both.

333
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 4: We'll we'll we'll work that throughout the week and then

334
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 4: normally by the time, uh, you get to Thursday or Friday,

335
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 4: as you're looking at the injury report, you know you

336
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 4: kind of get a better idea. But from what you

337
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 4: know we've seen as a defense this year, what the

338
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 4: play calling has been against us, it doesn't really It

339
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 4: hasn't really mattered who we've played or who's on the

340
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 4: opposing side from us. We're we're kind of seeing the

341
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 4: same thing every week now, you know. I was actually

342
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 4: surprised at what Seattle was was doing to us a

343
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 4: little bit because, in my opinion, almost was playing into

344
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 4: our hand. But you know, we're gonna we're gonna do

345
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 4: what what we've been but we've been doing, and we're

346
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 4: just it just comes down to execution.

347
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:05,160
Speaker 2: From a player's standpoint, we're the best luck to us year.

348
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:07,959
Speaker 2: I know you you'll play hard. We know that whatever

349
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 2: the results are, well off to see. But tough season

383
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 2: I brought up those numbers to Blake Cashman about a

384
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:06,400
Speaker 2: mon ros Saint, right. I had no idea he has

385
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 2: through five years, he's second all time for yards gain

386
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:13,959
Speaker 2: by a wide receiver. And you know I and I

387
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:15,879
Speaker 2: you know I follow lines. You know I'm my lines route.

388
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:17,399
Speaker 2: I watch and I know people are thinking, you know,

389
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:19,199
Speaker 2: why is a Lions guy working on the phanom? Why

390
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:23,239
Speaker 2: are we talking Lions? But you and I you've liked

391
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:25,919
Speaker 2: him for a long time too. He just he he

392
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 2: doesn't have why the curve on him? Uh yeah, curve

393
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:30,679
Speaker 2: on him? Yeah? I think he was part of your

394
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 2: purple prey. Even if he wasn't, let's go with it.

395
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:36,639
Speaker 2: But that's a guy. That's I mean, when you're on

396
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 2: the field and your team is number one in yards

397
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 2: per play and then when you're on the sideline you

398
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:45,639
Speaker 2: drop the twenty six, you're making an impact. It's not

399
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:48,400
Speaker 2: just because of him catching the ball. It's because well,

400
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 2: now we got to we have to put so many

401
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 2: resources towards him that we open up for other guys

402
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 2: in love. They have a lot of other game breaking

403
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 2: players too, And you know, you you got Williams, You've

404
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 2: got we played pretty well when Sam Brown went out

405
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 2: against Green Bay there exactly, and so you got a

406
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 2: lot of players. But those are those are astonishing numbers.

407
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 2: And I like, what what what what? When I asked

408
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 2: Cashman and he absolutely agreed. So I got a great

409
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 2: football mind. You're actually it's a lot of pride now

410
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:18,200
Speaker 2: because you're out there. You know, these guys when when

411
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 2: when you're getting well, the Steelers, you saw the Steelers

412
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 2: got booed at home, you know, and and they were

413
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 2: booming Tomlin and calling for his head and Tomlin had

414
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 2: to quot and goes, yeah, I understand, we're just as frustrated.

415
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:31,680
Speaker 2: Tomlin takes it and Straw. But these guys don't like this,

416
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:34,239
Speaker 2: you know. It's like, god, we we we were we

417
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:37,200
Speaker 2: lost another game with laughing Stocks. So it's more than

418
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 2: just you know, people just think, well, you know, because

419
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 2: to me, it's human nature. When the season goes when

420
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:47,639
Speaker 2: it unwinds like this just kind of well, you know,

421
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:49,399
Speaker 2: it just kind of mail it in here a little bit.

422
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:51,400
Speaker 2: Just can't wait till the end of the season. But man,

423
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:54,920
Speaker 2: you don't you don't want people. You guys are terrible,

424
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,720
Speaker 2: you know, so and and I you know, he talked

425
00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 2: about the message that you know, he gave other linebackers

426
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:03,360
Speaker 2: in the locker room, and I think they all understand

427
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 2: where he's coming from, and I would hope it resonates

428
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 2: with him.

429
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 6: You know.

430
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 2: It's like, well, we can't mainland in at this point.

431
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 2: So but it's going to be tough now because as

432
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 2: we know, injury riddled. We think McCarthy's coming back, right,

433
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 2: it sounds like he'll play this week. I'm we're pretty

434
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:22,200
Speaker 2: convincere to go. Yeah, yeah, and if he practices tomorrow,

435
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 2: I think Brozmer earned taking away the job from him. No,

436
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:31,399
Speaker 2: And it's but I mean, if you don't have.

437
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 5: Those offensive linemen back, you know, is not playing well,

438
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 5: and that's why you're not going to give JJ much

439
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 5: of an opportunity.

440
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:41,919
Speaker 2: Sunday feels more like I'm going to awake and then

441
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 2: I am going to watch a football game, right, I mean, really,

442
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 2: it's because it's the most wonnerable game the rest of

443
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 2: the year. Well it is, and this has been is

444
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 2: somebody had a note. It might have been Mark Craig,

445
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 2: steam football writer, Fish Rep Factory West Side. Then again,

446
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 2: it might have been in the Athletic I can't remember.

447
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:58,359
Speaker 2: I read. I read so many different articles. But somebody

448
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 2: is talking about, you know, the Bikings are always considered

449
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:02,879
Speaker 2: one of the more consistent teams in Pro football, and

450
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 2: you know, wins and losses, they might be. But it

451
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 2: was talking about over like the last sixteen years, eight

452
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 2: years we've made the playoffs. Eight years we haven't made

453
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:12,440
Speaker 2: the playoffs. So it's like we're not a it seems

454
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:14,119
Speaker 2: like we're going every other year. Yeah, it seems like

455
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 2: it's going every other year. So last year and you

456
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,719
Speaker 2: heard what Cashman said, he said, it hasn't gone how

457
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 2: we expected it too, because I think everybody, including you

458
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 2: and I were both you thought Vikings were going to

459
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:26,400
Speaker 2: the big game. A lot of people did. I thought

460
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 2: they would be a playoff contender. And then McCarthy probably

461
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:35,959
Speaker 2: wasn't as far along as the team thought, especially you know,

462
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:38,680
Speaker 2: the head coach and the coaching staff. The offensive line

463
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 2: had for the staff thought they could coach him up,

464
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:43,880
Speaker 2: or they could coach them up exactly. And the offensive line,

465
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:45,959
Speaker 2: it certainly hasn't he because we talked about it with Cashman.

466
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:48,600
Speaker 2: When your offensive line is ravaged, I don't care who

467
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:50,119
Speaker 2: you are, you're gonna have a trouble back there. And

468
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:54,359
Speaker 2: so compound maybe not being quite ready for prime time,

469
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:56,680
Speaker 2: and then when you put an offensive line in front

470
00:22:56,680 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 2: that's having trouble giving you time to throw. Man, it's

471
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 2: just it. That's that's a recipe for disaster.

472
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 5: I thought Sunday was a day in which we had

473
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:07,680
Speaker 5: some things come to its end.

474
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:09,119
Speaker 2: They rest in peace.

475
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 5: One would be seeing the Vikings name on the Fox

476
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:15,440
Speaker 5: graphic for in the Hunt when they showed the practice

477
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:16,640
Speaker 5: that we're not gonna.

478
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:17,479
Speaker 2: Be in the Hunt anymore. No.

479
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:21,399
Speaker 5: And the second would be I don't call him quarterback

480
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:24,479
Speaker 5: whisper anymore. Yeah, because you know, he got a lot

481
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:26,399
Speaker 5: of credit for Dobbs coming in. He was working them

482
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 5: through one game. Now, JJ McCarthy has not played well.

483
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:33,159
Speaker 5: Max Grosber had a game he didn't play well. Wentz

484
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 5: was just okay well, And.

485
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 2: The coach said it, he said he said it back

486
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 2: in September. He said, he feels I had a paraphrase,

487
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:44,639
Speaker 2: and I don't know the exact quote in front of me,

488
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 2: but that that franchises fail young quarterbacks more than young

489
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:54,120
Speaker 2: quarterbacks fail franchises, and you know, and then we both

490
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 2: ended up reading lately and recently. It is hard for

491
00:23:56,840 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 2: these kids, you learn little chunks unless you're you know,

492
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 2: some guys are well advanced. It just comes naturally to them,

493
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:06,199
Speaker 2: I think, quicker than others. They were doing the comparisons

494
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:08,200
Speaker 2: between McCarthy and all the other guys that have come

495
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,920
Speaker 2: before him. There's a stat we'll look at it later,

496
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:13,199
Speaker 2: maybe not today, maybe tomorrow where if you look at

497
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:15,639
Speaker 2: over the since like twenty fifteen or twenty sixteen, you

498
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 2: look at all the different quarterbacks that were drafted in

499
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 2: the first rounds, and the one that had the worst statistics,

500
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 2: Jarrett Goff, was blow McCarthy. They have a list of

501
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 2: thirty quarterbacks. He was below him. But look where golf

502
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:27,879
Speaker 2: is now. Goff's been to a big game. They were

503
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 2: they were one half away from going to another big

504
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 2: game until they've lued against San Francisco. So it is

505
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:35,719
Speaker 2: a learning process. I guess everybody has to stay patient.

506
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,680
Speaker 2: But you wonder. The big question becomes how patient can

507
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 2: you stay? I think you really have to see some

508
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 2: you have to see some strides here in the last

509
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:44,399
Speaker 2: five and if you decide to go next year, my

510
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 2: guess is they will bring them back, but they'll bring

511
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 2: a veteran quarterback and not just a backup type veteran

512
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:54,399
Speaker 2: quarterbacks somebody. They think that you're going to compete with you,

513
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 2: and you know, if we want it to be you,

514
00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 2: but if you're not there, we got to go with

515
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 2: a veteran because you can't continue to put off this

516
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 2: kind of a product for the fans, because you'll turn

517
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 2: them off in a real hurry, and then the coaching

518
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 2: staff becomes liable for that, and then their jobs are jeopardy.

519
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 2: So we'll break, We'll come back. We'll do five to

520
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:14,639
Speaker 2: three four, a belated five to three four. What you got, Tenna?

521
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:21,720

Speaker 2: more than four. Question Number one programming predicament.

554
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 5: Tough one on the tube tonight, the Timberwolves are at

Speaker 5: to it on the Wolves channel on the IHET radio.

559
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 5: I would just set that as one of your presets

560
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:26,439
Speaker 5: if I were you. The Minnesota Frost are at Ottawa tonight.

Speaker 5: That's at six pm on Fox nine plus and Prime.

562
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 2: Do those two teams like each other or not? They

563
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:32,880
Speaker 2: don't like each other very much, don't.

564
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:37,240
Speaker 5: And the Wild aren't Edmonton to take on Connor McDavid

Speaker 5: Weekly at seven o'clock to night.

570
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:52,119
Speaker 2: Oh, suddenly on the bandwagon after edding you up to

571
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 2: that game eleven one and one November, and suddenly they're

572
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 2: doing extra work for the while before it was like,

573
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 2: don't let the door penalty stoor hits you on the

574
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:03,120
Speaker 2: way out? Common, what are you gonna do about tonight's

575
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 2: What are you to do about tonight nights? Blakemore blakeborm

576
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:17,200
Speaker 2: programming predicament. Well, first of all, there's no reason to

577
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 2: watch the Wall. They're gonna win. I mean, right if

578
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:21,399
Speaker 2: you already know the outcome of that game. So I

579
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:26,399
Speaker 2: don't know why i'd watch that. Boy, New Orleans team's

580
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:30,920
Speaker 2: pretty good. Have they won a game this year? He's

581
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 2: an NBA expert. Yeah, I don't think the maybe three games.

582
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:36,840
Speaker 2: So you know that's one of those where the Wolves

583
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 2: we only have to play at half speed and they'll

584
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 2: win by twenty or twenty five. They'll make it close,

585
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 2: saying yeah, the Frost game might be the best choice

586
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:49,520
Speaker 2: of all of them. But then deuce on game time Minnesota,

587
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 2: Well that's the predicament, right. Well, he's calling a Lakeville North.

588
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 2: I think boys, it could be girls, but he's called

589
00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:00,320
Speaker 2: a Lakeville North hockey game, so I think I'm got

590
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:05,640
Speaker 2: what's that? Oh, they've got a team that they don't

591
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 2: like very much. I can't remember who it is now,

592
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:09,760
Speaker 2: but that's a hell of whoever it is. That's why

593
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:11,960
Speaker 2: I might listen to my son do hockey on gametime

594
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:15,400
Speaker 2: Minnesota dot com, so that's that's my choice on programming predicament,

595
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:23,840
Speaker 2: either of that. At Gilligan's Island, Rockford Tals, question number

596
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:25,760
Speaker 2: two never gets told, does it?

597
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 4: Ten?

598
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 3: We're it's now time to Dela.

599
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 2: Who am I shouting out to? Who am I shouting

600
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 2: out to? Joe? And Fridley? Annie was here and says,

601
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 2: you're just so jealous you're not here. Friendly Fridley, Friendly Fridley.

602
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:50,240
Speaker 2: Joe wishes he was here. Joe loves me. Annie likes

603
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 2: me too. I don't know she loves me, but she

604
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 2: likes me, and so it's cool, Hey Joe, what are

605
00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:58,480
Speaker 2: you doing in Fridley? Instead of she.

606
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 5: Used ESPN dot Com Today had a column titled twenty

607
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 5: twenty five twenty twenty six offseason ranking players who could

608
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:12,720
Speaker 5: be traded Your Minnesota Twins had three players in the

609
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:14,479
Speaker 5: top eight of these rankings.

610
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:17,479
Speaker 2: Let me guess, Pablo Lopez, Joe Ryan, Byron Bucksmian.

611
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, they had Byron Buckson ranked five with a thirty

612
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:23,719
Speaker 5: five percent chance of getting traded, Joe Ryan ranked sixth

613
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 5: fifty percent chance of getting traded, Pablo Lopez ranked eighth,

614
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 5: fifty percent chance of getting traded. Common What is most

615
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:35,960
Speaker 5: likely to happen The Twins trade nine, one, two or

616
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 5: all three of those players?

617
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 2: Oh, well, I wish I could get in Joe Polad's head.

618
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 2: I'm not sure how much is there, but I'd like

619
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 2: to get inside that head because I don't know what

620
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 2: the team do. They intend on even trying a little bit.

621
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:54,320
Speaker 2: If they do, you can't get rid of pitching because

622
00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:56,600
Speaker 2: that is I mean, I know, we talk about it

623
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:58,800
Speaker 2: all the time. Tommy Kelly said it, and he's right,

624
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 2: and he's not the first to say it. If you

625
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 2: pick some play defense, you give yourself a chance to

626
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:08,240
Speaker 2: win the ball again. So trading pitching would mean you

627
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 2: are saying it's over. We don't care, We're just trying

628
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:13,040
Speaker 2: to Well, they just care about the pocket boo. Yeah,

629
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:15,480
Speaker 2: don't know about pocketbook, and we'll worry about that later.

630
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:19,360
Speaker 2: We're in a long term, five ten year rebuild, so

631
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 2: I would I would hope they. I mean, I could

632
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 2: see Buxton for a couple of reasons. Apparently, has he

633
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 2: publicly said he'd be willing to waive that or has

634
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 2: just speculation. I think it's speculation.

635
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 5: I think it was reported by a respectable reporter. So basically,

636
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:35,960
Speaker 5: if if they're selling others, then he'd be willing to

637
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:36,760
Speaker 5: wave a straight right.

638
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:38,080
Speaker 2: So then you look at a guy like that and

639
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:41,360
Speaker 2: you say, well, he just had his very best year ever.

640
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 2: Last year happened to coincide with his healthiest year he's

641
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 2: ever had. Well, what are the chances he's going to

642
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:49,880
Speaker 2: continue to have that really good health, right, because every

643
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:52,760
Speaker 2: other year's pretty much been injury riddled save one, So

644
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 2: I would think that would be one where he's had

645
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 2: his high as value now, right, played well in the outfield.

646
00:31:57,440 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 2: We know he's five to two kind of a guy,

647
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:01,160
Speaker 2: and he played like a five to guy. I would

648
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 2: think there's a pretty good chop. I would say one.

649
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 2: And then Lopez isn't he had a couple of injuries

650
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:08,280
Speaker 2: last year, DEN'TI he had won like in the middle

651
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:09,760
Speaker 2: of the season. I think he was out late to

652
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:14,240
Speaker 2: But of course Ryan, you know, Ryan doesn't make a

653
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:17,200
Speaker 2: lot right now, but well you do. And I don't

654
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:20,960
Speaker 2: think he's particularly pleased with the organization. I don't think

655
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 2: I'm just guessing. I'm talking about what having yeah, right,

656
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 2: because what he said in the story, you know, there

657
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 2: was a story and I still have it saved on

658
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:33,080
Speaker 2: a handheld was doubles ass. He said, well, there's a

659
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 2: lot of things I don't like, but I really think

660
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 2: we made a big mistake getting rid of Sonny.

661
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:36,080
Speaker 4: Great.

662
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:38,200
Speaker 2: He was not happy, he was He's still bringing that

663
00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:40,480
Speaker 2: up last year, you know what, a year year and

664
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:42,920
Speaker 2: a half after it happened. So I don't think he

665
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 2: has any love loss for the organization. He's probably appreciative

666
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 2: of him having a chance to establish himself as a

667
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:50,720
Speaker 2: big time pitcher. But I think he would be more

668
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 2: than happy to go. So I don't think all three,

669
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 2: but I wouldn't be surprised. But I would think Buxton

670
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:58,480
Speaker 2: would be the most likely if he waves.

671
00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:00,480
Speaker 5: His if two or three of them go just shut

672
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:03,000
Speaker 5: it down. Yeah, nobody's nobody's showing up the target hill

673
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 5: the summer because you.

674
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 2: Know me, if towards this side, no I don't. I

675
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:09,280
Speaker 2: don't go to games anymore, but for me, a good

676
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:11,880
Speaker 2: pitching matchup will intrigue me to turn it on on TV,

677
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:13,360
Speaker 2: and I would even go to. If you're gonna have

678
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 2: a game where it's two pitchers that aren't very good,

679
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 2: I have no interest. I don't want to watch a

680
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:22,080
Speaker 2: six seven non pitching game, But if you have two

681
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:23,760
Speaker 2: really good pitches, I go, hey, I'd like to watch this.

682
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 2: It might be kind of fun because the games go

683
00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 2: faster that way too. But yeah, if if you get

684
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 2: rid of all guys, shut her down. Now correct me

685
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:30,400
Speaker 2: if I'm wrong.

686
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:34,200
Speaker 5: We haven't heard about the minority owners yet, right, I

687
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:37,080
Speaker 5: don't think they've officially set it on, which might be

688
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:38,920
Speaker 5: another reason why they're just trying to.

689
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 2: Purge Yeah, finances.

690
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, and then is it also possible they could sell

691
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:49,960
Speaker 5: the team to a majority owner and that majority owner

692
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 5: wants the team to strip down first the.

693
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:56,400
Speaker 2: Last scenario, I still think they want to keep it,

694
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 2: so I don't. I don't know if that one's it

695
00:33:57,800 --> 00:33:59,960
Speaker 2: could happen. I'm not saying it wouldn't the other one though,

696
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,480
Speaker 2: I don't. Yeah, I thought we would find out much

697
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:05,800
Speaker 2: sooner who these minority partners are, But we have no idea.

698
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:08,799
Speaker 2: Maybe there was a Glenn Taylor, a Lorie type hang up?

699
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:13,560
Speaker 2: Or is do they need to be approved first before

700
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:15,279
Speaker 2: they make an announcement. Maybe they haven't been as how

701
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:17,000
Speaker 2: long as that take? I don't know. I have no idea.

702
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna worried about question number three. Lavelle was

703
00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:27,319
Speaker 2: here earlier, by the way, you can hill here we go,

704
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:29,040
Speaker 2: all right? Common?

705
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:32,880
Speaker 5: If the playoffs started today, the Chicago Bears would be

706
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:35,040
Speaker 5: the number one seed in the NFC. Common Are the

707
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:37,440
Speaker 5: Bears a fraud or for real.

708
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:43,799
Speaker 2: Fraud? Really? And number two? I'm not sure yet. I mean,

709
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:46,719
Speaker 2: I like teams a fine ways to win, and I

710
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:49,200
Speaker 2: know all the things you can say about their quarterback

711
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:51,239
Speaker 2: still hasn't been brilliant. They've been doing it mostly on

712
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:55,600
Speaker 2: a running game right in timely defense. They most of

713
00:34:55,640 --> 00:35:00,120
Speaker 2: the teams they've beaten. I don't Philadelphia, of course, my Philidel.

714
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:03,239
Speaker 2: He had struggled the last week before too, but still

715
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:04,840
Speaker 2: a good one. It's still good one, yeah, But I

716
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:07,040
Speaker 2: think most of the other ones against teams that haven't

717
00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 2: particularly played very well, and that's not their fault. You

718
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:13,839
Speaker 2: hear me say it all the time. They don't put

719
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:16,240
Speaker 2: the schedule together. They don't put the other team's rosters together.

720
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:21,120
Speaker 2: But I you know, and I wasn't joking yesterday. Once

721
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:23,399
Speaker 2: the team's Detroit and the Vikings are out of it,

722
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:25,359
Speaker 2: I like picking another team. I mean, I don't live

723
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:27,080
Speaker 2: or die by it, but it's fun to have. And

724
00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:29,239
Speaker 2: I don't mind picking teams in the division other than

725
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:31,480
Speaker 2: the Packers. I can't root Packers, but I could root

726
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:33,160
Speaker 2: for the Bears because they're fun to watch because they

727
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:34,759
Speaker 2: are seem to be doing it with a lot of

728
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:37,359
Speaker 2: smoke and mirrors. They don't have a lot of They're

729
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:40,200
Speaker 2: not star studded. I mean, we think Williams has a

730
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:43,600
Speaker 2: chance to be generational. Have a couple of wide receivers

731
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 2: they think are good. But I like them, so I

732
00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:48,439
Speaker 2: don't know if they're for real, but I'll say yeah,

733
00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:50,120
Speaker 2: I'll say they they'll.

734
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 5: U I'm in trouble because when the Biking has get

735
00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:55,320
Speaker 5: knocked out, my teams are Lions and Chiefs.

736
00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 2: Those are two teams they like. Well, all three of

737
00:35:57,080 --> 00:35:59,719
Speaker 2: them might not make it. I can't be a Jaguars fan.

738
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:03,319
Speaker 2: I can't be a Broncos fan. No, though I do

739
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:06,360
Speaker 2: like the bon Nicks kise. I can't cheer then Bonnicks

740
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:10,560
Speaker 2: is fun to watch. Now I can't cheer regals either. Yeah, uh,

741
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:15,000
Speaker 2: there we go. Should we stick with fraud or for real?

742
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:17,880
Speaker 5: The New England Patriots they defeated the New York Giants

743
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:20,279
Speaker 5: thirty three fifteen last eight and improved to eleven and two.

744
00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:23,399
Speaker 5: They are the top seed in the AFC. Common are

745
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:25,359
Speaker 5: the Patriots of fraud or for real?

746
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:26,799
Speaker 2: I think I think they're for real. I don't have

747
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 2: their schedule in front of me. I don't know if

748
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:31,280
Speaker 2: they've just beaten losing teams as well. The Knicks quarterback,

749
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:34,960
Speaker 2: he's real good. Have they said that Drake May? They

750
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:38,239
Speaker 2: said the difference from last year to this year. They

751
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:40,239
Speaker 2: I watched some of it with kind of half an year,

752
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:42,600
Speaker 2: half an eye because it was it was a blowout.

753
00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:47,560
Speaker 2: But he's made the adjustments that he's needed to make

754
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:50,480
Speaker 2: on on whatever his weaknesses were, and I don't remember

755
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:53,600
Speaker 2: which ones they brought up. He's he's They may not

756
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:56,200
Speaker 2: be strengths now, but they're not hurt him. He's learned quickly.

757
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:58,640
Speaker 2: He gets the ball or rid of the ball right away,

758
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 2: he throws on target. He's everything we'd like to see

759
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:05,640
Speaker 2: in in JJ McCarthy. He really is. He's that good.

760
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:08,920
Speaker 2: So I think quarterbacks Vikings reportedly wanted, yes, give up

761
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:11,120
Speaker 2: below get them. I think a lot of teams did,

762
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:14,240
Speaker 2: and so I think just with the with the quarterback

763
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:17,359
Speaker 2: play alone and the is it Brabyle he's our coach. Yeah,

764
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:19,200
Speaker 2: he's a good coach. He knows what he's doing, he's

765
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:22,120
Speaker 2: and he's played for world champions. So I think they're

766
00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:24,640
Speaker 2: for real for sure. All Right, one more.

767
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:31,080
Speaker 5: The Jacksonville Jaguars now living as a Jaguars or Jaguars.

768
00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:32,200
Speaker 2: Let's go with Jaguars.

769
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:35,000
Speaker 5: They now lead the AFC South after winning their past

770
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:35,520
Speaker 5: three games.

771
00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:36,359
Speaker 2: They are eight and four.

772
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:38,600
Speaker 5: Of course, so are the Colts, but they currently have

773
00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:42,520
Speaker 5: the tiebreaker. Common Are the Jaguars a fraud or for real?

774
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 2: Let me ask you a question, Yeah, would you rather

775
00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:46,839
Speaker 2: become a fan of the Jaguars or would you rather

776
00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:49,040
Speaker 2: get a jaguar from your local Jaguars? I'd rather get

777
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 2: a jaguar. Yeah, I think I am too. First, I

778
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:54,280
Speaker 2: get it for free, free, free. I I think they're frauds.

779
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:56,480
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, you never know, you know, it's

780
00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:59,160
Speaker 2: the old chip chair chance once you get in the tournament,

781
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:02,080
Speaker 2: the beauty of football, it's one game in that state.

782
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:06,320
Speaker 2: It's not like NBA, NHL, Major League Baseball. It's a series.

783
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:08,319
Speaker 2: So you can have you canna have a clunker, still

784
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:10,600
Speaker 2: come back and win, So anything can happen. But I

785
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:12,839
Speaker 2: don't know. They're starting to look a little more on

786
00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:15,080
Speaker 2: that DIBs. Well, they got the Danny Dimes is going

787
00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:17,880
Speaker 2: to play with a broken fibula, Danny, don't. They have

788
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:20,680
Speaker 2: been running the ball as well lately. Jones been turned

789
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:22,279
Speaker 2: the ball up. Maybe Jaguars are for real.

790
00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:24,480
Speaker 5: Houston in that division still might have a chance. They're

791
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:27,319
Speaker 5: one game back. Their defenses. I was reading some.

792
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:28,879
Speaker 2: Numbers and oh, by the way, one of the best

793
00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:30,600
Speaker 2: defensive players is the guy that used to play for US,

794
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:33,080
Speaker 2: the Meal Hunter. He's I think he is. He double

795
00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:37,040
Speaker 2: digit sacks. I think he's double digit sacks this year.

796
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:40,319
Speaker 2: So that's uh yeah, that's a really good defensive view

797
00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:42,120
Speaker 2: that they're good at. Defense wins championships.

798
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:42,239
Speaker 4: Man.

00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:33,520
Speaker 5: Tiger Woods?

816
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:35,640
Speaker 2: You know, I know he loves the game. It's been

817
00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:37,840
Speaker 2: his life and you never want to give it up.

818
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:41,759
Speaker 2: But it seems like, dude, you're like Frankenstein's Monster. You

819
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:45,160
Speaker 2: have different body parts, they've all been busted up. I

820
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:48,640
Speaker 2: buddy wants to play. I read a story. I want

821
00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 2: to get your response to this. There was a story

822
00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:53,560
Speaker 2: and I only read the first paragraph because I kind

823
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:57,160
Speaker 2: of thought it was preposterous. If he goes to play,

824
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:01,719
Speaker 2: you know, Legends Tour, Senior Tour, there's talk that the

825
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:06,920
Speaker 2: PGA Tour might they're concerned that he might take attention away.

826
00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:09,840
Speaker 2: Of course you will, yeah, but to that degree, I

827
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:14,000
Speaker 2: mean especially, I'm just telling you. I like me some tiger,

828
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:16,239
Speaker 2: I really do. I've always enjoyed watching him play, and

829
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:18,640
Speaker 2: I'm I got some RUBI and mean when it comes

830
00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:21,839
Speaker 2: to woods. But if I'm gonna watch, if it comes

831
00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:25,080
Speaker 2: around and it's it's it's a jant, it's a good

832
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:28,360
Speaker 2: leader board in the PGA, or it's tiger battling Hale Irwin,

833
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:31,600
Speaker 2: I'm out, man, I'm watching the PGA Tour, I am.

834
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:34,319
Speaker 2: But but that's one of the concerns is that he

835
00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:35,960
Speaker 2: might draw eyes away.

836
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:39,000
Speaker 5: I agree like it. That's only going to go so far.

837
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:40,919
Speaker 5: I think the first time or two. Yes, he's gonna

838
00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:43,560
Speaker 5: draw some attention, but he's not playing against the highest

839
00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:45,440
Speaker 5: level players, so people are gonna stop caring about Yeah.

840
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:49,799
Speaker 2: I think you're probably right. That's it, And that's it

841
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:55,280
Speaker 2: for today's edition of five questions. Well, actually three questions,

842
00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:57,920
Speaker 2: but five sounds like more than four. I've been flying

843
00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:00,319
Speaker 2: for a false start because about forty minutes I said,

Speaker 2: the legendary Mark Rosen is about to join us. I

845
00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:06,000

Speaker 2: it was like almost two o'clock. It was one seventeen.
