Speaker 6: don't know what it means.

35
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 4: For some reason, I don't know. You keep saying that.

36
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 5: We're gonna figure out exactly what the thing is. That's

37
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 5: one way to look at it. This is nine to

Speaker 5: noon at f M one hundred point three k f

39
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:49,840

40
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 5: a very good start to the figuring out the people.

41
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 5: How do you spell cockles? It's uh, well, you'll like

42
00:03:56,160 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 5: the first two words. It's an edible and edible burrowing

53
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 5: knows what jam packed crowds look like, this is good.

54
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:37,159

Speaker 5: so we're scattered right now. This is tentacle related terrorism

78
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,800

79
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 5: your very eyes. Here about flow wild wings. Austin Harper,

80
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,479
Speaker 5: where are you stand up? Young man?

81
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:06,039
Speaker 4: Oh wow?

82
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:11,600
Speaker 5: Austin Harper from Apple Valley is celebrating his thirteenth birthdays

83
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:13,720
Speaker 5: and gentlemen, happy.

84
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 4: Birthday, little brother.

85
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,040
Speaker 5: At least we can do is give you a Shirton

86
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 5: RDO my comp your wings if you're really nice to him,

87
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 5: your wings are on me.

88
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 4: Birthday boy. There we go.

89
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 5: Here are some things for which we are looking with

90
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,719
Speaker 5: the Minnesota Vikings this weekend against the New York Giants.

91
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:33,040
Speaker 5: I'm going to begin it with an early Christmas gift

92
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 5: or a couple that I would like delivered to a

93
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 5: couple of Minnesota Vikings. First and foremost would be cornerback

94
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 5: Byron Murphy Junior. All right, maybe old Jackson Dart will

95
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:49,160
Speaker 5: gift him his first interception of the year. Now Byron

96
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:54,840
Speaker 5: has gone eighteen consecutive without an interception. Wow, his career

97
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 5: long is nineteen consecutive from twenty twenty one to twenty

98
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 5: twenty three Arizona and the Minnesota Vikings. I'm quite positive

99
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 5: the young man does not want to match that record.

100
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 5: So hopefully Jackson Dark can gift him an interception. Hey,

101
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 5: if he only finishes with one, it's better than zero.

102
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 5: But Alec lewis with the Athletic. Theathletic dot Com, by

103
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 5: the way, you can gift athletic subscriptions.

104
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 4: I do it every single year. I've done it twice

105
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 4: this year.

106
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 5: It's inexpensive and the knowledge knowledge is king in the

107
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 5: world of sports for those who enjoy the athletic and

108
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 5: that would be all of us. Why do you think

109
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 5: Alec Bira Murphy Jr. Went from six interceptions last year

110
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 5: to zero this year?

111
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a good question.

112
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 6: I think part of it probably is the result of

113
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 6: this team playing much fewer snaps with the lead, and

114
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 6: so when you're not leading games as much, the opposing

115
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 6: team doesn't have to throw as much, which makes it

116
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 6: much more difficult to be in situations where an interception

117
00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 6: is possible. I think Byron Murphy Junior last year he

118
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 6: had what five or six interceptions, and he would put

119
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 6: he kept all of the balls from the interceptions. He

120
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 6: put him atop his locker. It's kind of sad walking

121
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 6: by his locker this year. There's no there's no balls

122
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 6: up there. But I would say, you said it, Pa,

123
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 6: Jackson Dart this weekend. Jackson Dart plays football kind of

124
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 6: like a Red Bull mountain bike cliff jumper and watch.

125
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 4: I mean, it's fun. But if you're a Giants fan,

126
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 4: I mean you are.

127
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 6: I mean, this guy is in the concussion he's in

128
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 6: the medical tent weekly.

129
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 5: Okay, but you know, with what Nordo has crafted for

130
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,839
Speaker 5: the eleven o'clock with the Players of the Year and

131
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 5: Rookies of the Year to the stage with three to go, I.

132
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 4: May he the Rookie of the is he?

133
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 1: Well?

134
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 5: I may or may not have put Jackson Dart in

135
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 5: that offensive Rookie of the Year because the the the

136
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 5: Ohio State receiver for.

137
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,200
Speaker 4: Tampa Bay's come back to the pack. Yeah. Precipitously. Yeah.

138
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,199
Speaker 5: And I'm like looking at Offensive Player of the Year

139
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 5: and I'm like Jonathan Taylor only cow sixteen look at

140
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 5: all this last month and a half half when they're losing,

141
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 5: he's comeback. So it's a tricky talker coming up later.

142
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,319
Speaker 5: But I really haven't watched Jackson's Dart that much this year.

143
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:12,719
Speaker 5: I did watch him, see they they caught the imagination

144
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 5: of the nation for a couple of weeks with the

145
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:19,319
Speaker 5: Dart scataboo thing, and they beat the Eagles, and that's

146
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:23,199
Speaker 5: kind of where that's kind of where it stopped. But nevertheless,

147
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 5: Jackson Dart has seven rushing touchdowns. I know he's reckless,

148
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 5: but he has markedly more touchdowns than interceptions.

149
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 4: I mean, the kid has a little something to him.

150
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:34,959
Speaker 6: He's athletic for sure, and they use him in the

151
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 6: quarterback run game like they will do design quarterback counter

152
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 6: run game.

153
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 4: I mean, it's they try to tap into that.

154
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 6: The thing for me is some of his runs this

155
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 6: year are scrambles where he's missing reads over the middle

156
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 6: of the field. So it's like, man, great seven yard scramble,

157
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 6: But had you just hit the guy on the crossler

158
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 6: over the middle, you wouldn't have put yourself in a

159
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 6: position to be injured potentially because you are scrambling. So

160
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 6: I think this is a massive, massive spot for Brian

161
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 6: Flora's defense, even without Jonathan Garnard and Josh Mattelis, who

162
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:09,320
Speaker 6: are who are undergoing shoulder operations and.

163
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 4: Will be done for the year.

164
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:14,320
Speaker 6: Like Brian Flores against Jackson Dart and Mike Kafka. I mean,

165
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 6: Brian Flores is probably in the in the offices up

166
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 6: there at TCO, like rubbing his hands together like this

167
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,559
Speaker 6: could be the one a Bollacorp. Yeah, it's kind of

168
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 6: my feel in this game.

169
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 5: But with Murphy from I mean, he had six last year,

170
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 5: the most by a corner since the ninety eight Vikings

171
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:34,440
Speaker 5: and Jimmy Hitchcock, and it falls off to a zero

172
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 5: now now the I mean, you've had Van Ginkol out

173
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 5: certainly more than last year. Renard's been in and out,

174
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 5: Cashman at dramatically more sacks last year than this year.

175
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 5: I believe that that has to play into it, right.

176
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, the I mean again, I think trailing in games

177
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 6: more often than opposing teams have to throw less often

178
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 6: in less advantageous look.

179
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:55,439
Speaker 4: That's part of it.

180
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 6: But then Byron Murphy, I'd also say his best spot

181
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 6: is when he can play in the slot. The problem

182
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:05,719
Speaker 6: is this Vikings team doesn't have the cornerback depth to

183
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 6: where he can slide in there. He has to play

184
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 6: on the outside, which isn't his primary, most optimal position,

185
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 6: And so for a lot of reasons, I think that,

186
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 6: And there's also just turnover like luck. No one wants

187
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 6: to talk about tips and overthrows and kind of the

188
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 6: luck of that. So it's a combination for me, Yeah,

189
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,599
Speaker 6: it does. It's a combination for for Byer Murphy to

190
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,200
Speaker 6: go from six to zero. It's a combination of everything.

191
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 6: To me, I don't think he's been as just on

192
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 6: point this year, probably, but I also don't think he's

193
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 6: he's been a liability at all. And again, if he

194
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 6: gets an interception this weekend against Jackson Dart, the Red

195
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 6: Bull mountain biker cliff jumper, I'm not gonna be surprised

196
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 6: at all.

197
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 2: Well, there's been an interesting talker whether We had Pat

198
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 2: Leonard on New York Daily News as a Talking Ball podcast,

199
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 2: and he talked a bit about Dart. But there but

200
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 2: out in New York there's this conversation where he has

201
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,559
Speaker 2: to protect himself, yeah, because he reckless. But on the

202
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 2: other end of it, part of the reason that he

203
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 2: was drafted where he was is because of his athleticism,

204
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:10,319
Speaker 2: and that's even been kind of bandied about with Dart himself, like,

205
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know why. I mean, there's a

206
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 2: big reason that I'm here and I was drafted where

207
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:17,479
Speaker 2: I was. It's because I do these things.

208
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 4: With my legs.

209
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 2: And so the Byron Murphy getting a pit conversation as

210
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 2: if the if the team is going to protect him

211
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 2: and make him be a true in the pocket QB

212
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 2: kind of like which game?

213
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 4: Which game was it?

214
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 2: When it almost felt like JJ McCarthy had this invisible

215
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:36,319
Speaker 2: fence in the pocket. I can't remember which game that was.

216
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 2: Then was it Washington where he might have been a

217
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,559
Speaker 2: sophomore year at Michigan. No, But but the idea was

218
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:43,559
Speaker 2: he just wasn't getting out of the pocket, and he

219
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 2: took a ton of sacks in the process. And so

220
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 2: trying to figure out the responsible ways and the responsible

221
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 2: moments to run. And similarly with Dart, if you force

222
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 2: him to be in the pocket and just throw the ball.

223
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:56,440
Speaker 2: But Murphy's gonna get one this weekend.

224
00:12:56,559 --> 00:13:00,440
Speaker 5: Hey, Buffalo Wild Wings, Apple Valley, we have a very

225
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:03,319
Speaker 5: important decision to make ladies and gentlemen, I need you

226
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:04,280

Speaker 4: Thank you Marathon, listen closely please.

00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 5: players in the history of Minnesota Vikings football.

230
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:15,439
Speaker 4: Chad Greenway?

231
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,559
Speaker 5: Now Chad Greenway on the field and off the field,

232
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 5: has not made many mistakes in his life?

233
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 4: Can I get an amen? All?

234
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 2: Right?

235
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 4: Well, he made one this morning.

236
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 5: He misread the text I said earlier this week saying

237
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 5: Buffalo Wild Wings Apple Valley today Buffalo Wild Wings, Roseville

238
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:37,080
Speaker 5: on Christmas Eve.

239
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 4: Yes, we oh, hey, you know where this is going.

240
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:43,080
Speaker 5: Don't turn this into Covenant Court, because we'll prosecute all

241
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:43,319
Speaker 5: of you.

242
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 4: It's six and eight radio, okay, and we feel it too.

243
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 4: So here's the deal.

244
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:52,959
Speaker 5: We're gonna give Chad the option here by by a

245
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:56,559
Speaker 5: round of applause, they're gonna be there's gonna be a

246
00:13:56,600 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 5: decision to make. If you would like us to all

00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 5: Chad Greenway and you hear him through the speakers at

248
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 5: about nine thirty three, make some noise. Here's the other option,

249
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:15,679
Speaker 5: if you would like Chad Greenway to drive safely on

250
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 5: the treacherous roads that caught young Alec.

251
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 4: This morning.

252
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 5: You gotta be careful if you would like him to

253
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 5: bust booty to Buffalo Wild Wings Apple Valley and be

254
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 5: here at nine thirty five. Make some noise, Chad, we

255
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 5: know you're listening. See you soon five two radio at

256
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 5: nine thirty five. Come another another another early Christmas gift.

257
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 4: What did you think to do that? It's just planned another.

258
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 5: Early Christmas gift I would like delivered for the Minnesota

259
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 5: Vikings final road game New York Giants this Sunday at

260
00:14:56,680 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 5: noon KFA m Bira Murphy with an interception and snapping

261
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 5: that long scheme. But how about making it an operation

262
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 5: eighteen Sunday. Justin Jefferson all right, Now, forget the fact

263
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 5: that he hasn't had more than one hundred yards since

264
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 5: the team was in London. Forget the fact that he

265
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 5: hasn't had a touchdown in a month and change. Justin

266
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 5: Jefferson is four catches from the most of anybody in

267
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 5: their first six years in the history of the NFL.

268
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 4: It was six, it was eight two weeks ago, and

269
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 4: it went to six.

270
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 5: Now it's gone to four, and that would pass Jarvis Landry,

271
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 5: and that would put him in the history books for

272
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 5: the most catches of anybody in the history of the

273
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 5: NFL through six seasons. Operation eighteen is in the air,

274
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 5: and he also is one hundred and twelve yards receiving

275
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 5: yard shy of passing Randy Moss for the most receiving

276
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 5: yards of anybody through the first six years of their career.

277
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 4: Operation eighteen is in the air Sunday at noon. Well,

278
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 4: y'all think of that?

279
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean I I look, this is a spot

280
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 6: too for Justin where the opportunity should be there. The

281
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 6: Giants play man coverage at the seventh highest rate in

282
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 6: the NFL. They love playing man coverage with Cordel Flott,

283
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 6: Paulson Adebo and Andrew Phillips.

284
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 4: I'm not really sure why, but that's what they do. Yeah.

285
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 6: So if that's what they do with Justin Jefferson, that's

286
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 6: what they do with Justin Jefferson. Sunday and JJ McCarthy

287
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 6: can be accurate, and those two can find a synergy

288
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 6: that I think everybody in this Buffalo Wild Wings Apple

289
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 6: Valley has been waiting for.

290
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 4: Them to find.

291
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 6: Then, you know, he could ill easily pass the full

292
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 6: reception mark and then the yardage mark is probably attainable

293
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 6: as well. I would not be surprised at Kevin O'Connell

294
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 6: in this Viking stat They know the history they want.

295
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 6: I mean, they know how how much Justin Jefferson has

296
00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 6: provided behind the scenes this year from a leadership kind

297
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 6: of level headedness standpoint, So they will do everything in

298
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 6: their power to get him the ball. I wouldn't mind

299
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 6: a little flip on the first play of the game.

300
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:09,960
Speaker 6: Just put him in motion and give him a little flip.

301
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 6: That's one catch, that's some yards.

302
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:13,680
Speaker 2: Just do it. Why about the quick out for minus two,

303
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:16,119
Speaker 2: I don't care. Just get him the ball at the

304
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 2: very beginning.

305
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:17,959
Speaker 4: I'll look out for minus two.

306
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:20,919
Speaker 5: Then he goes to one fourteen from Moss is supposed

307
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 5: to go the other way.

308
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 4: It's supposed to go the right way.

309
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:26,640
Speaker 2: The wait if you hear Alex somebody just says, well,

310
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 2: you see those slants.

311
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 4: Just do more of those.

312
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:32,880
Speaker 2: Because there is a weird there's there's a relationship here

313
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,680
Speaker 2: where Naylor has the night he does in some respects

314
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:38,880
Speaker 2: because of the attention paid to Jefferson the tight ends

315
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,119
Speaker 2: two weeks ago in the heavier personnel groups.

316
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:42,920
Speaker 4: There's a part of the reason that TJ.

317
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:47,120
Speaker 2: Hawkinson found his way in Oliver finding his way justin.

318
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:50,400
Speaker 2: Jefferson plays a role in that. So if somebody just said, well,

319
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 2: I'll come justin, Jefferson doesn't run those routes, what do

320
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:55,440
Speaker 2: you think about those? Because again, what you're seeing and

321
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:58,680
Speaker 2: it's good stuff from JJ McCarthy the last two. Yeah,

322
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 2: but we do have to remind ourselves in some ways

323
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 2: because we also see the forcing it to him. I

324
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:05,360
Speaker 2: think it was second or third down before the fake

325
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:07,680
Speaker 2: of all fakes, where he just there was no chance

326
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,879
Speaker 2: Jefferson could get it. Later on one v one Bland

327
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 2: never turns around. Could have been a penalty actually, but

328
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:16,879
Speaker 2: Jefferson had no chance. So part of Jefferson and what

329
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 2: he's doing right now kind of also opens the door

330
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 2: for the other stuff we're seeing and trying to get

331
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:24,159
Speaker 2: him the ball. I don't think it's as easy as

332
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:26,120
Speaker 2: just why don't you run that slant every time?

333
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:29,119
Speaker 6: No, And I mean I will say this offense doesn't

334
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:31,440
Speaker 6: have a ton of slants in it, like that's been

335
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,359
Speaker 6: a theme for multiple years. And part of I mean,

336
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:36,440
Speaker 6: there's to be able to run a slant. First, the

337
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 6: guy has to be physical enough to get off press.

338
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:40,399
Speaker 6: So that's part of it, and then you got to

339
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:41,879
Speaker 6: have a quarterback to be able to put it on

340
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 6: the body on the break every single time. And when

341
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 6: you run slants there there's the likelihood of tips and

342
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 6: overthrows if you're not putting the ball where it needs

343
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 6: to be.

344
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 4: So, you know, as easy as.

345
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:56,359
Speaker 6: It seems and looks, and at times I'm watching it,

346
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:58,399
Speaker 6: I'm like, why can't they just get him a slant

347
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:02,359
Speaker 6: like the Cowboys would with with George Pickens. It's definitely

348
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 6: they got a lot of those Sunday night.

349
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:04,440
Speaker 4: No they didn't.

350
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 6: It's definitely on my mind. But I would say this,

351
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 6: like I for you know, Justin Jefferson had the ball

352
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:11,680
Speaker 6: in the end zone. He dropped the ball in the

353
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 6: end zone, like that is a pass he has to catch.

354
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 6: He admitted that, yes, the ball came in a little hot,

355
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 6: but he has paid thirty five million a year for

356
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 6: balls to come in hot to.

357
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:23,399
Speaker 5: Be caught, So if it was paid twenty one million

358
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:24,639
Speaker 5: a year, it would be acceptable.

359
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 4: No, it wouldn't be acceptable.

360
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,160
Speaker 6: But I'm just saying, like that is at a pass

361
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:32,399
Speaker 6: we all expect Justin to catch, and and look, I

362
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,440
Speaker 6: just think, you know, one of the underrated aspects of

363
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 6: Justin and JJ and their connection. Justin Jefferson did not

364
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 6: really participate in training camp because.

365
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:44,440
Speaker 4: Of a hamstring injury. So that is a lot of time.

366
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,399
Speaker 6: Every day, five weeks of not being able to just

367
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:50,119
Speaker 6: throw and catch and have a feel. And so there

368
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:53,399
Speaker 6: are a lot of aspects to why the you know,

369
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 6: they haven't been as syncd up as everyone in here

370
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 6: would probably want them to be.

371
00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:59,159
Speaker 2: But I don't you think we can be beyond the

372
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 2: camp thing now? Yeah, at this stage of the season

373
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 2: you would think, yeah, I mean, there are a lot

374
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,359
Speaker 2: of reasons to think you would be shrouded. But no,

375
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 2: the other the other.

376
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 4: The Christmas season. I apologize no you mentioned this, Nordo,

377
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 4: but on trial.

378
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 6: Defenses defend him with multiple bodies, and so to be

379
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 6: able to beat those coverages from a passing game standpoint,

380
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:25,880
Speaker 6: you have to have a bespoke kind of game plan,

381
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 6: route structure, strategy, And to have a bespoke structure, it

382
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 6: often requires a quarterback with the wherewithal of what that

383
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 6: stuff looks like.

384
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:36,400
Speaker 4: And JJ is still young.

385
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:39,720
Speaker 6: As much as he has shown immense growth over the

386
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 6: last two weeks two weeks, he's still young, and so

387
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:45,439
Speaker 6: I just think it's part of the evolution within this thing.

388
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:46,639
Speaker 4: That which is why I.

389
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 6: Won't be surprised if we see it this weekend, because

390
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:53,440
Speaker 6: of just more time together with JJ McCarthy this weekend

391
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 6: and and correlating either correlating what we know, what we see,

392
00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 6: or what we hear with where he is in his progression.

393
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 5: There was a throw last night Matthew Stafford made to

394
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 5: Puka Nakua center of the field between the hash marks.

395
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 5: It might have been Seattle in a Tampa two with

396
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 5: the linebacker drops, hybrid floaters might have been hybrid floaters

397
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:21,680
Speaker 5: all over the place, and you had linebacker guy dropping

398
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 5: and the pass went right over him between split safeties

399
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:30,639
Speaker 5: and Nakua caught it on the run, coming left to

400
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 5: right between the hash marks. The point being here, as

401
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:39,399
Speaker 5: we all take in the maturation of this young quarterback,

402
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 5: there are steps that are taken every single week. One

403
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 5: step for which I'm looking through the final three beginning

404
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 5: this weekend is attacking the middle of the field and

405
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:57,360
Speaker 5: just having like one, maybe two passes like we referenced

406
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:00,680
Speaker 5: from last night from Stafford to Pukua Nakua the field.

407
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean there was the throw that JJ McCarthy

408
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 6: made in Arlington to TJ Hockinson kind of on a

409
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:10,960
Speaker 6: seam ball and that was I mean one of the

410
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 6: best throws of JJ McCarthy's young career without question, to

411
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:16,359
Speaker 6: kind of get the ball a little bit up and

412
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 6: down into that window deep down the field. So you

413
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 6: mentioning that PA is one hundred percent true, Like this

414
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:25,680
Speaker 6: Vikings offense, so much of what it's been built on

415
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 6: through the first three years of Kevin O'Connell being here

416
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:32,640
Speaker 6: was in breakers toward the middle of the field, crossers

417
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 6: kind of over the middle.

418
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 4: Of the field.

419
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 6: Like that's where they love to attack, and that's where

420
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 6: you can create yards after catch if you get the

421
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,880
Speaker 6: ball in stride over the middle. And so yeah, over

422
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:45,440
Speaker 6: the last three weeks, how much is JJ targeting those

423
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 6: areas and when he is targeting those areas, how accurate

424
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 6: is he being on those throws?

425
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 4: That is gonna be huge, Uh, you know, thing to watch.

426
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 6: I will say this though, just to be very clear,

427
00:22:56,520 --> 00:23:01,159
Speaker 6: JJ McCarthy's pocket presence decisiveness, that stuff has taken a

428
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 6: massive leap the last two weeks. Like in the pocket,

429
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:08,160
Speaker 6: he's not climbing violent violently, he looks comfortable, he gets

430
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:12,640
Speaker 6: small and even the pre snap operation looks very composed,

431
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 6: very under control, and so I mean it looks kind

432
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 6: of like the preseason game against the Raiders his first year,

433
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 6: and and the trajectory that I think we all probably

434
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 6: expected him to take from that. Like that's what it

435
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 6: started to feel a little bit like to me. And

436
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 6: it's not a surprise given how long it's been since

437
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 6: he's really played in games. So it's been great to

438
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 6: see and continuing it against this defense, which has two

439
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:40,920
Speaker 6: really talented guys, three really talented guys in the front

440
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:43,639
Speaker 6: Abdual Carter, Dexter Lawrence, and Brian Burns.

441
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 2: Is gonna be critical. Something's up with Dexter. He only

442
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:49,160
Speaker 2: has a half sacked. Yeah, are you kidding?

443
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:51,920
Speaker 4: It's it's weird that they started every game.

444
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, the numbers are weird, but he's getting double teamed

445
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:56,399
Speaker 6: at the highest rate of any defender in the NFL

446
00:23:57,560 --> 00:23:58,439
Speaker 6: per Next Gen.

447
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 4: Stats, and that might help Burns and Carter. It's it definitely,

448
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:03,359
Speaker 4: And Carter is.

449
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 6: Who knew when you take a first round ed rusher,

450
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:09,920
Speaker 6: you want it to look like how Carter looks like.

451
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:13,120
Speaker 2: I mean, this guy he's gotten there earlier in the year.

452
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 2: Now where's he at. It's like Sam last night. Sam

453
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:20,639
Speaker 2: got there in a pressure field moment last night.

454
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 4: Good for Sam.

455
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 5: Abdul Carter tore it up last game, but that really

456
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 5: was the coronation of a season. From what I understand,

457
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 5: that's been a little frustrating for those in the Giants covenant.

458
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 2: We got some meeting terrorism. Yeah, I got some sleeping

459
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:37,200
Speaker 2: terrorism at the facility.

460
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 6: Off the field, and it found like yeah, yeah, I

461
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:41,960
Speaker 6: mean the nap room. You've seen the Vikings nap room.

462
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:44,160
Speaker 6: I mean they got it right next to the locker room.

463
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:46,240
Speaker 6: You could take the best nap of all time in

464
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:49,879
Speaker 6: there anyway. Abdul Carter, Yeah, they'll line them up on

465
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 6: the edge, then they'll move him and go head up

466
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:54,639
Speaker 6: on the center and so, and they'll move him and

467
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:57,119
Speaker 6: go head up on the left guard and so. Like

468
00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:02,159
Speaker 6: Abdul Carter's just you know his versatile, yeah is and

469
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:04,879
Speaker 6: Brian Burns can do the same thing. So for JJ,

470
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 6: like I think this week, it is run the football

471
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 6: and early downs is the worst run The Giants have

472
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:13,120
Speaker 6: the worst run defense in the NFL, So you should

473
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 6: be able to run the football and early downs put

474
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 6: yourself in advantageous third down spots and then JJ McCarthy

475
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 6: hopefully can just you know, add and continue the progression

476
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:24,720
Speaker 6: that he's had over the last two weeks.

477
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:27,400
Speaker 4: That has been really great to see.

478
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 6: Frankly, and I think about it even from JJ mentally,

479
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 6: like I can't say enough about to be able to

480
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:36,920
Speaker 6: navigate what he's navigated this year on the field, off

481
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:41,400
Speaker 6: the field, injury wise, criticism, all of that, and he's

482
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 6: still twenty two years old. To see him this late

483
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:46,640
Speaker 6: in the year, have the two games that he's had,

484
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:50,360
Speaker 6: specifically last week on Sunday Night Football, it's it's pretty impressive.

485
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 2: Well, it's one of those things too, like I'm rooting

486
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:54,960
Speaker 2: for him because he's the tenth overall selection of my

487
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,880
Speaker 2: favorite football team. And I feel like over the course

488
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:00,119
Speaker 2: of this there was no room for sympathy or at

489
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,360
Speaker 2: the mid stream, right because we had a roster that's

490
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 2: built to win now and we're gonna go to the

491
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 2: playoffs and what the hell's up with the kid QB.

492
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 2: But this is I mean, all of those things stacked

493
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 2: against him.

494
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 4: You know.

495
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 2: It's like I wanted a different quarterback in the draft,

496
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 2: so I almost as a Vikings fan, am willing myself

497
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 2: for this kid to fail almost to validate my pre

498
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 2: draft opinion from two years ago. I feel that a

499
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:24,680
Speaker 2: bit actually with Sam Darnold as well, now that he's gone,

500
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:26,920
Speaker 2: people kind of rooting for him to fail to prove

501
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:28,159
Speaker 2: that that was the right decision.

502
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 4: Feels like that.

503
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:32,000
Speaker 2: But with McCarthy, it's almost like raising kids, where a

504
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 2: couple of weeks ago he just was saying one word

505
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 2: and now he's making a sentence out of the whole thing.

506
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 2: This growth trajectory in just two games, and there's bad defenses,

507
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 2: there's a ton of variables that play into it. But

508
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:46,920
Speaker 2: as somebody that we need this franchise QB to work out,

509
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 2: we want this to be a w We want this

510
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 2: kid to lead this offense for the next decade plus

511
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:55,639
Speaker 2: and to see not just little baby steps, but truly

512
00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:58,360
Speaker 2: in two games, almost an entirely different quarterback.

513
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:01,479
Speaker 4: He's manufactured three touchdowns in each of those games. Uh.

514
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 2: The kid making those not just steps but massive leaps

515
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 2: in some cases has been remarkable, really.

516
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:09,920
Speaker 6: And it's interesting because you see the you see the

517
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 6: growth in real time on these Sundays. But then like

518
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 6: I'm standing out there at practice yesterday and I don't

519
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,200
Speaker 6: know if this per I haven't talked to anybody, but

520
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 6: in the in kind of the warm up portion, they're

521
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 6: running special teams on the field, but JJ McCarthy's warming up.

522
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:26,360
Speaker 6: He's throwing these deep balls down the left side line

523
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:28,680
Speaker 6: to Justin Jefferson as part of the warm up, which

524
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 6: I would have to think is a bit of a

525
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:33,119
Speaker 6: you know, we're trying to get the synergy right between

526
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 6: these two.

527
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:36,119
Speaker 4: Kevin O'Connor may see that.

528
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:39,119
Speaker 6: Maybe they did, but Kevin O'Connell was over there talking

529
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 6: to Justin, but like in front of Justin and and

530
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 6: Jad's having to throw the ball up and over Kevin

531
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:48,400
Speaker 6: to Justin, and I'm thinking, like, is this a coaching

532
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 6: like strategy to get the ball to get him to

533
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 6: throw the ball up and over?

534
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:57,640
Speaker 4: But he was talking to Justin probably like about schemes.

535
00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 6: But I was like, Kevin is purposeful enough to want

536
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:03,960
Speaker 6: the coaching point or to enhance JJ having to throw

537
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:06,920
Speaker 6: the ball up and over even on a Thursday afternoon

538
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 6: in the winter, snowstorm, whatever the heck was going on

539
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:12,399
Speaker 6: yesterday with the weather, that's just kind of how it is.

540
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 6: But no, it's been You're right, Nordo, it's been cool.

541
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:17,440
Speaker 6: To see and Pa said it attacking over the mill

542
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 6: of field. If JJ McCarthy can do that over these

543
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:22,600
Speaker 6: last three games, next step that would go even further

544
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 6: to cementing just the growth arc that we've obviously seen

545
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 6: the last two week.

Speaker 5: should be here shortly, can just quickly and closing here?

584
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 5: Can you imagine what Chad felt like when when he

585
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 5: like pulled off Snelling and he gets by the mall, like, hey,

586
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 5: a lot of cars at the mall, Christmas Seas and

587
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:40,360
Speaker 5: stuff like that, rolls up to Buffalo Wild Wings and

588
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 5: it's crickets and nobody's there. He called me three times

589
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 5: and I'm trying to figure out why there's nobody back

590
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 5: at the radio station.

591
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 4: I got him calling me, text me.

592
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 2: He said he went to Roseville, and I'd say we

593
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 2: handled it well, even all the moguls in the opening.

594
00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 4: Segment, nobody's sitting here.

595
00:30:57,280 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 6: When I've had any idea of the level of stress

596
00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 6: going on, found I was.

597
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 4: I mean to watch you guys navigate that within the

598
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 4: come up out.

599
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 5: Nordo has professional pride with the sound of KFA N

600
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 5: and nine to No. Sure so, given he's the producer

601
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:16,320
Speaker 5: and he operates everything behind the scenes on the weekdays,

602
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:20,040
Speaker 5: even if he's here on a Friday and something happens,

603
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:23,560
Speaker 5: somebody messes up or something happens. He's gonna take, you know,

604
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:26,920
Speaker 5: kind of take that personally because he cares about the sound.

605
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:27,400
Speaker 4: Of nine to nowers.

606
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 2: Now that the problem is, though, is that the program

607
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 2: director is back at the station on the board right now,

608
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:34,360
Speaker 2: so I can't say right everything that I wanted to

609
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:36,360
Speaker 2: say about about how the open went.

610
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:40,200

699
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:41,960

00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:45,839
Speaker 5: when he went on that seven step drop and just fell.

701
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:47,560

707
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:01,759
Speaker 4: Did line over for Phil? No, it wasn't. And he

708

Speaker 4: came back and he was game.

709
00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 7: You know what though it makes everybody thinks like, yeah,

710
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:07,480
Speaker 7: I could probably give you five to ten, right, I

711
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:08,959
Speaker 7: mean it's been eight years.

712
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:11,200
Speaker 4: No, I'm definitely out. I don't want to hit anybody.

713
00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:13,520
Speaker 7: You go on the sidelines these days and you see

714
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:15,200
Speaker 7: these old linemen, I'm like, how did I even do

715
00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:17,640
Speaker 7: that for so long? And get off of these blocks,

716
00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:19,120
Speaker 7: especially when they hold all the time, you know, the

717
00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:19,600
Speaker 7: old lineman.

718
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:22,880
Speaker 4: It's uh, but it was fun to see his approach

719
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:24,160
Speaker 4: was his approach was great.

720
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:27,440
Speaker 7: Yeah, and he played well against the team, you know,

721
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:29,080
Speaker 7: best team at the end of seed right now by

722
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:29,319
Speaker 7: the way.

723
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:31,000
Speaker 4: So yeah, it was a big time playing.

724
00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:33,719
Speaker 7: And again, keep it simple, play simple, give him easy throws,

725
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:35,719
Speaker 7: let him get his feet set underneath him.

726
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:37,759
Speaker 4: He's always had the arm talent. You took Phil to

727
00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:38,480
Speaker 4: the house, didn't you.

728
00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:42,440

733
00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:57,680
Speaker 5: probably will get into the Hall of Fame. Yes, well,

734
00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:00,239
Speaker 5: when we return, you want to talk about somebody who

735
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:04,320
Speaker 5: owned Eli Manning. Chad Greenway had a lot of success

736
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:06,759
Speaker 5: against Eli and the New York Giants. We'll get into

737

00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:57,480
Speaker 5: With the exception of radio relationships, but I'm beginning to

744
00:38:57,560 --> 00:39:01,200

00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:12,120
Speaker 5: the one with three chins.

749
00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:15,360
Speaker 2: Well maybe you know, if green if Greenway hadn't showed up,

750
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:17,239
Speaker 2: we could have just started a line and everyone gets

751
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:20,440
Speaker 2: a shout out, yeahh for just a little holiday shout.

752

Speaker 4: Not that a little different, all right.

756
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:32,120
Speaker 5: Chad Greenway finished his National Football League career five and

757
00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:33,800
Speaker 5: two against the New York Giants.

758
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:36,280
Speaker 4: Man you played the Giants a lot during your career.

759
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:39,319
Speaker 5: NFC East team started out three and zero against them,

760
00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:44,200
Speaker 5: and in fact, Chad Greenway's first defensive touchdown came from

761
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:48,680
Speaker 5: the arm of Eli Manning in two thousand and seven

762
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:50,120
Speaker 5: at what used.

763
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:52,040
Speaker 4: To be known as the Meadowlands.

764
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:55,680
Speaker 5: It was the second interception for Chad in as many

765
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:58,759
Speaker 5: weeks in what kind of like JJ McCarthy was his

766
00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:01,640
Speaker 5: rookie year, but it really was the second year, and

767
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:05,600
Speaker 5: fifty two radio was was brilliant back then. Thirty seven

768
00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:09,520
Speaker 5: yards to the house, by the way, The Vikings crushed

769
00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:11,799
Speaker 5: the Giants that day, at the metal lens. They had

770
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:17,160
Speaker 5: three defensive touchdowns Eli Manning through five interceptions. The same

771
00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:19,839
Speaker 5: Giants team that went out won the Super Bowl that year.

772
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:20,640
Speaker 5: Are you kidding, man?

773
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:22,320
Speaker 7: Yeah, that was one of those games where you just

774
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:24,239
Speaker 7: things were going your way, the balls bouncing your way.

775
00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:25,520
Speaker 4: I'm not sure what Eli was doing.

776
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:27,799
Speaker 7: I think at one point he threw back to back

777
00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:30,880
Speaker 7: pick six, as I believe, And it was one of

778
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:33,040
Speaker 7: those games where the things were going your way and

779
00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:35,120
Speaker 7: it was great, and all of a sudden, you know,

780
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:39,160
Speaker 7: you you have your season end. You then watch the

781
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:42,360
Speaker 7: playoffs and you watch a team that you demolish go

782
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:44,120
Speaker 7: win the Super Bowl and get a ring, and you're

783
00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:46,240
Speaker 7: just like how and he just shows you. A quarterback

784
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:48,319
Speaker 7: gets hot, they get on the road, they get their

785
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:50,480
Speaker 7: running game going. At that time, they had a defensive

786
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:54,040
Speaker 7: was playing well and things. It's just the same idea

787
00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:55,960
Speaker 7: you want for your own team is just get in

788
00:40:56,080 --> 00:40:59,040
Speaker 7: the game every year and give yourself a chance. Right

789
00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:01,040
Speaker 7: And that's a frustration part from me with this team

790
00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:02,800
Speaker 7: this season is because if you get right at the

791
00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:05,799
Speaker 7: right time, this is a team that clearly can play

792
00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:08,759
Speaker 7: against and beat anybody. Based off what we saw going

793
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:10,080
Speaker 7: into the season at times this year.

794
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:13,840
Speaker 5: Okay, well what you just said, just get in and

795
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:18,440
Speaker 5: see what happens with Kansas City or Philadelphia or certain

796
00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:21,080
Speaker 5: teams certain years New England back in the day, that

797
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:24,000
Speaker 5: ain't the case, that's the case this year. I mean

798
00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:26,759
Speaker 5: it props to Sam Darnold for handling the game and

799
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:28,439
Speaker 5: the end of the game the way he did last

800
00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:32,120
Speaker 5: night after the interception by the goal line nearly a

801
00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:35,600
Speaker 5: pick six. I mean it was typical Sam in pressure

802
00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:40,880
Speaker 5: related situations, absolutely crumbly, But props to Sam. He pushed

803
00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:43,840
Speaker 5: through it and and and he had a throw to

804
00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:45,880
Speaker 5: and I'm glad Alec tweeted about it too, And I

805
00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:46,840
Speaker 5: agree with Alan.

806
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:48,600
Speaker 2: One of the most one of the most impressive throws

807
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:51,720
Speaker 2: right well, I mean a al Michaels and Herb Street.

808
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:53,840
Speaker 5: You know, they they you know, they got things that

809
00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:55,759
Speaker 5: they got to get to and stuff like that. But

810
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:57,840
Speaker 5: I think that was the throw where you're like, it

811
00:41:57,920 --> 00:42:00,480
Speaker 5: didn't get due credit. Yeah, oh, I agree. I mean

812
00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:04,239
Speaker 5: it was left Cooper right right, sideline leading Cooper uwain't

813
00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:05,680
Speaker 5: as fast as he used to be, So I mean

814
00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:07,879
Speaker 5: that's a whole adventure in its own right.

815
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:09,000
Speaker 4: All the sideline play.

816
00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:13,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, Hooper Cup, Jordy Nelson, Chris Carter esk on the

817
00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:17,200
Speaker 5: sideline when you give him the opportunity, so like Sam

818
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:21,040
Speaker 5: pushing through that. They may be the one seed, but

819
00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:22,920
Speaker 5: they get the Niners the last game of the year,

820
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:24,960
Speaker 5: and if the forty nine Ers keep winning and they

821
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:27,040
Speaker 5: beat them the last week, I think the Niners get

822
00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:30,719
Speaker 5: the one seed. Stafford is still a complete handful. The

823
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:34,560
Speaker 5: Eagles Man, the Philadelphia Eagles, I mean, pity the fool

824
00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:36,600
Speaker 5: that says they have no chance when they get to

825
00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:39,080
Speaker 5: the postseason and then they all start liking each other.

826
00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:40,680
Speaker 4: Then you get to the AFC.

827
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:45,480
Speaker 5: If a second year quarterback who sixty five seventy percent

828
00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:48,320
Speaker 5: of games has you scratching your head, and then the

829
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:51,360
Speaker 5: final thirty five to thirty percent with Bo Nicks, it's like,

830
00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:54,880
Speaker 5: holy cal John Elway, who this guy's unbelievable in the

831
00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:57,520
Speaker 5: fourth quarter. That's probably going to be your one seed.

832
00:42:58,239 --> 00:43:00,759
Speaker 5: This sucker is why open this year.

833
00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:02,160
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think it's gonna be one of the better

834
00:43:02,239 --> 00:43:05,160
Speaker 7: playoffs just scenarios we've seen in this new system with

835
00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:08,040
Speaker 7: having seven and only one getting to buy because I

836
00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:10,239
Speaker 7: just think you can have so many good matchups we'm

837
00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:11,480
Speaker 7: talking about good football weekends.

838
00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:13,000
Speaker 4: This is a good football weekend with your.

839
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:15,439
Speaker 7: College and pro a lot of good matchups that matter

840
00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:19,520
Speaker 7: to affect teams in playoffs. Wild Card weekend first round

841
00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:21,359
Speaker 7: was a call what'll we call it now, divisional round

842
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:21,960
Speaker 7: or whatever it is?

843
00:43:22,040 --> 00:43:24,480
Speaker 4: Off car week Still still welcome weekend.

844
00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:29,200
Speaker 2: Super wid Yeah, the extra team because of the night.

845
00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:32,280
Speaker 7: But to me, that's going to be the best weekend

846
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:35,600
Speaker 7: in football, maybe potentially in history, based off the matchups,

847
00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:37,719
Speaker 7: because I think every game. I love to see what

848
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:39,360
Speaker 7: Vegas is gonna do, because it's gonna be to me,

849
00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:40,759
Speaker 7: there's gonna be a lot of coin toss games, a

850
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:42,400
Speaker 7: lot of one and a half pointers, last few pointers.

851
00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:44,600
Speaker 5: And after my sixtieth birthday, I think we should bring

852
00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:46,280
Speaker 5: the feast without the radio show.

853
00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:48,879
Speaker 4: To the Las Vegas. That's a great plan. US four.

854
00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:51,520
Speaker 5: You pay for it, you don't pay for it. Banker

855
00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:53,359
Speaker 5: Tim pays for it. Will be popping tax.

856
00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:55,640
Speaker 7: Yeah, absolutely, Baker, Hey, Banker Tim and I can just

857
00:43:55,680 --> 00:43:57,600
Speaker 7: split it, you know, we can get something.

858
00:43:57,760 --> 00:43:59,920
Speaker 4: We can get something off striple cheaper. Hey. Yeah, yeah,

859
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:02,480
Speaker 4: Vegas is it's expensive. You going to your room from

860
00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:04,120
Speaker 4: the outside. You have a lot of deals get a

861
00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:04,600
Speaker 4: lot of deals.

862
00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:08,239
Speaker 2: See when you own seven banks, you have two women,

863
00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:10,680
Speaker 2: you have one two women, one in each arm.

864
00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:12,600
Speaker 4: It's just the way it goes.

865
00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:15,880
Speaker 7: Yeah, I get to my dad was a farmer, Like

866
00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:17,279
Speaker 7: why can we be a bank or dad like this,

867
00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:19,480
Speaker 7: think about this on the day. But he was elite

868
00:44:19,560 --> 00:44:23,400
Speaker 7: with the teams. He was completely different level. Yips starts

869
00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:25,120
Speaker 7: a top little loose to squeeze that thing through.

870
00:44:26,239 --> 00:44:28,960
Speaker 2: It is a it is a chip chair and chance postseason,

871
00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:31,120
Speaker 2: it's it's it's adding up to be that. What have

872
00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:34,200
Speaker 2: you thought about the Bears from Afar? I mean, what

873
00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:36,279
Speaker 2: an odd year this is going to be where you're

874
00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:39,280
Speaker 2: effectively flipping this whole operation on its head. The Kiddies,

875
00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:41,520
Speaker 2: I'm talking to Kitties fan guy that shows up here

876
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:44,480
Speaker 2: feeling his pain with the old line and all the injuries.

877
00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:48,279
Speaker 4: And Michael Parsons that Michael Parsons a great point.

878
00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:50,040
Speaker 7: I think the Lions things bit is the funniest to

879
00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:51,759
Speaker 7: me because they were they were in the bottom for

880
00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:52,279
Speaker 7: so long.

881
00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:54,160
Speaker 4: Now they've had these years of like, hey, this is

882
00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:56,560
Speaker 4: a lot of fun. Look at us now and.

883
00:44:56,640 --> 00:44:59,160
Speaker 7: Again like this is just a situation where the NFL

884
00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:01,520
Speaker 7: is the ultimate I mean, these teams are gonna come

885
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:03,279
Speaker 7: back around and be good again, and then all of

886
00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:06,480
Speaker 7: a sudden, like get yourself in the tournament and give

887
00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:08,840
Speaker 7: yourself a chance, Eli Manning O seven. You get a

888
00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:10,480
Speaker 7: quarterback that gets hot at the right time, a play

889
00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:11,319
Speaker 7: call that gets hot.

890
00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:11,839
Speaker 4: At the right time.

891
00:45:12,239 --> 00:45:13,960
Speaker 7: It's just like a goalie in the NHL, Like you

892
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:17,200
Speaker 7: want those guys in the playoffs now the bears to me,

893
00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:19,120
Speaker 7: like when you started the season and we go there

894
00:45:19,160 --> 00:45:21,640
Speaker 7: and win that game the way we did, looking like

895
00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:23,719
Speaker 7: a really good win by the way, right now, what

896
00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:26,640
Speaker 7: you see though as a coach, that truly changed an

897
00:45:26,719 --> 00:45:29,600
Speaker 7: organization in my opinion. You have a quarterback. Yeah, I

898
00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:31,279
Speaker 7: think he just stops the radio show when he wants to.

899
00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:33,600
Speaker 4: To, He walks up. He just does what he wants.

900
00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:36,560
Speaker 5: The banker does. What's gonna leave early? It's five hundred

901
00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:37,680
Speaker 5: dollars per person.

902
00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:40,680
Speaker 4: Yea, or just just lowder the mortgag, just lord of

903
00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:42,319
Speaker 4: the interest rate, just like a week, you know, let

904
00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:43,680
Speaker 4: us come in and get a couple of loans, get

905
00:45:43,719 --> 00:45:44,239
Speaker 4: some free money.

906
00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:46,440
Speaker 2: I feel you're working some side that I'm not going

907
00:45:46,520 --> 00:45:48,960
Speaker 2: to be included in. Oh my lord the best. But

908
00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:50,360
Speaker 2: I think you see you see it.

909
00:45:50,560 --> 00:45:53,160
Speaker 7: You see a head coach and how he impacted the

910
00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:56,520
Speaker 7: Lions and his that organization. It mattered when he left.

911
00:45:57,160 --> 00:45:58,600
Speaker 7: Now all of a sudden, he goes to Chicago with

912
00:45:58,680 --> 00:46:01,080
Speaker 7: this new toy at quarterback. Who's a who's a Who's

913
00:46:01,080 --> 00:46:01,520
Speaker 7: a creature.

914
00:46:01,640 --> 00:46:03,399
Speaker 4: He'd be hard Williams.

915
00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:06,759
Speaker 7: Yeah, and you now and you now see how a

916
00:46:06,880 --> 00:46:09,960
Speaker 7: quarter how a coach can impact an organization. And I

917
00:46:10,040 --> 00:46:12,200
Speaker 7: think what he's done is impressive and and and they're

918
00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:14,480
Speaker 7: a team to be to deal with, quite honestly, and

919
00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:18,080
Speaker 7: I'm it's gonna be nope. I mean, the only thing

920
00:46:18,120 --> 00:46:19,520
Speaker 7: worse than a Packer fan is a Bear fan. I

921
00:46:19,600 --> 00:46:22,959
Speaker 7: miss be honest right, My my in laws are Eagles fans.

922
00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:25,839
Speaker 4: They're the top. I mean, they're we don't even talk

923
00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:28,160
Speaker 4: about them. But my in laws are Bears fans.

924
00:46:28,239 --> 00:46:28,360
Speaker 2: You know.

925
00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:30,600
Speaker 7: The whole crew from back in the Jenny's Way is

926
00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:32,040
Speaker 7: they're Bears fans that capist the clan.

927
00:46:32,239 --> 00:46:34,319
Speaker 4: We don't want them to have anything nice. We want

928
00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:36,000
Speaker 4: to keep them down as long as we can. Amen,

929
00:46:36,680 --> 00:46:38,520
Speaker 4: what have you thought of watching JJ in the last

930
00:46:38,560 --> 00:46:38,959
Speaker 4: two weeks?

931
00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:42,000
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, I mean it's you know, I was thinking

932
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:44,840
Speaker 7: about this because it was games in Dallas, and you

933
00:46:44,960 --> 00:46:47,080
Speaker 7: tell the story all the time about me, about young

934
00:46:47,160 --> 00:46:49,520
Speaker 7: Chad two thousand and seven, and you're out there, you're

935
00:46:49,520 --> 00:46:51,479
Speaker 7: warming up, You're going crazy. Your mind's going a million

936
00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:54,719
Speaker 7: miles an hour. He did next one ten. I'm warming

937
00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:56,319
Speaker 7: up before the game. I'm going a million miles an

938
00:46:56,320 --> 00:46:58,880
Speaker 7: hour because that's how my brain operates. And JJ to

939
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:01,120
Speaker 7: me is very similar to to just the mindset that

940
00:47:01,200 --> 00:47:02,920
Speaker 7: I had. I think he has a linebacker type of

941
00:47:02,960 --> 00:47:07,040
Speaker 7: mindset playing quarterback, and I also think he's playing fast,

942
00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:09,759
Speaker 7: constantly up in his break. So to go down to

943
00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:13,200
Speaker 7: Dallas in that environment and go win that football game,

944
00:47:13,239 --> 00:47:14,959
Speaker 7: no matter how it looked. He didn't put up these crazy,

945
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:16,480
Speaker 7: gaudy numbers, but he went down there and won the

946
00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:19,000
Speaker 7: football game says a lot. You can talk about the defenses,

947
00:47:19,040 --> 00:47:20,720
Speaker 7: you can talk about all that crap. It's the NFL.

948
00:47:20,760 --> 00:47:22,920
Speaker 7: You're winning games. You're two and zero. Can you put

949
00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:25,439
Speaker 7: three of those together? Can the game start to slow

950
00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:27,200
Speaker 7: down for him at the end of the day, That's

951
00:47:27,239 --> 00:47:29,160
Speaker 7: all that's gonna matter. The game can start to slow down,

952
00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:30,920
Speaker 7: he can start to make that put air put air

953
00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:33,400
Speaker 7: out of the ball, you know, to JJ, in practice,

954
00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:34,560
Speaker 7: Can we do that now in a game?

955
00:47:35,080 --> 00:47:36,080
Speaker 4: You know, like can we miss?

956
00:47:36,160 --> 00:47:38,600
Speaker 7: Can we can we hit those that were just missing

957
00:47:38,719 --> 00:47:41,840
Speaker 7: by you know, six inches eight inches the one that

958
00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:43,399
Speaker 7: JJ has to catch the ends and you talked about,

959
00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:45,080
Speaker 7: but a couple of crossing rocks that were just missed

960
00:47:45,160 --> 00:47:47,319
Speaker 7: just high like just settle down, take a breath, Yeah,

961
00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:48,200
Speaker 7: make the play.

962
00:47:48,080 --> 00:47:49,399
Speaker 4: But think about the game. Slow down.

963
00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:51,440
Speaker 5: No, I haven't thought about that. I mean honestly, And

964
00:47:51,520 --> 00:47:53,920
Speaker 5: this is gonna sound like a wise cracking one liner.

965
00:47:54,640 --> 00:47:57,239
Speaker 5: We're a month removed with JJ McCarthy from doing a

966
00:47:57,320 --> 00:47:59,400
Speaker 5: Josh Freeman impression on Monday Night football.

967
00:47:59,480 --> 00:47:59,640
Speaker 4: Yep.

968
00:48:00,200 --> 00:48:03,839
Speaker 5: Now we're saying, hey, eighty ninety percent of them are

969
00:48:03,880 --> 00:48:04,719
Speaker 5: where they should be.

970
00:48:04,920 --> 00:48:07,799
Speaker 2: They're on the run. Just tighten up with a couple

971
00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:10,040
Speaker 2: more that that actually is a big ten yards is

972
00:48:10,120 --> 00:48:12,600
Speaker 2: now one yard. The fact that you went Josh Freeman

973
00:48:12,680 --> 00:48:14,600
Speaker 2: this morning, like I was having a really good day.

974
00:48:15,160 --> 00:48:18,080
Speaker 2: I made the drive from Roseville to Apple Valley. Still

975
00:48:18,120 --> 00:48:19,280
Speaker 2: have a good positive mindset.

976
00:48:19,320 --> 00:48:22,120
Speaker 5: There's a lady in Row one at US Bank Stadium

977
00:48:22,160 --> 00:48:25,080
Speaker 5: who had her nose broken by a football flying end

978
00:48:25,120 --> 00:48:25,640
Speaker 5: of the stand.

979
00:48:25,719 --> 00:48:29,400
Speaker 2: Well, wasn't wasn't there a Freeman Primetime game against the Giants,

980
00:48:29,480 --> 00:48:30,799
Speaker 2: and we're both in New York.

981
00:48:30,840 --> 00:48:33,840
Speaker 4: We're zero and six or one teams or whatever it is.

982
00:48:33,920 --> 00:48:35,920
Speaker 4: Broke my wrist in that game, and I'm doing with

983
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:37,920
Speaker 4: the risk for ten weeks the rest of that season.

984
00:48:39,120 --> 00:48:42,680
Speaker 2: Ten weeks Josh Freeman practice. Josh Freeman tried to bring

985
00:48:42,719 --> 00:48:45,160
Speaker 2: a python on the team flights. Yes, he because he

986
00:48:45,200 --> 00:48:47,040
Speaker 2: had a snake collection. He had the first off. He

987
00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:49,480
Speaker 2: couldn't bring his python. How do you play rap? Broke

988
00:48:49,680 --> 00:48:50,120
Speaker 2: his neck?

989
00:48:50,440 --> 00:48:52,520
Speaker 4: How do you play at the broken risk? For ten weeks?

990
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:54,759
Speaker 7: So I broke the end of my radius off and

991
00:48:54,800 --> 00:48:56,680
Speaker 7: it broke another bone in my wrist. So at practice

992
00:48:56,719 --> 00:48:58,319
Speaker 7: I would wear a splint and tape it. In the games,

993
00:48:58,320 --> 00:49:00,640
Speaker 7: I would just tape it really tight. And when I

994
00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:02,719
Speaker 7: break it off, do you I mean it's just gone?

995
00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:05,080
Speaker 7: Then it No, it floats until you stop, and then

996
00:49:05,360 --> 00:49:08,799
Speaker 7: it grows back together. But the fun part about that season,

997
00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:10,480
Speaker 7: we'll talk about that season is we end up firing

998
00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:14,040
Speaker 7: Leslie Frasier. Great human being, right, great mobo coach.

999
00:49:14,120 --> 00:49:14,520
Speaker 4: That sucked.

1000
00:49:15,160 --> 00:49:16,880
Speaker 7: The next call I get from the Vikings after you

1001
00:49:16,920 --> 00:49:19,640
Speaker 7: play through you know, ten weeks of broken wrist is hey,

1002
00:49:19,719 --> 00:49:21,640
Speaker 7: we think we should take some of your money the

1003
00:49:21,719 --> 00:49:22,160
Speaker 7: off season.

1004
00:49:22,200 --> 00:49:22,799
Speaker 4: Oh that's great.

1005
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:25,719
Speaker 7: I love this was a lot of fun. I just

00:49:25,760 --> 00:49:30,200
Speaker 7: played through all this stuff. Rick unbelievable, unbelievable. I'm sure

1007
00:49:30,200 --> 00:49:30,959
Speaker 7: he's listening today.

1008
00:49:32,480 --> 00:49:35,960
Speaker 4: He's in New York. Fourteen. Oh yeah, thirteen thirteen, Right,

1009
00:49:36,320 --> 00:49:38,080
Speaker 4: did you hit him with a spree? Well, just trying

1010
00:49:38,120 --> 00:49:38,880
Speaker 4: to feed my family.

1011
00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:43,000
Speaker 2: Just trying to feed my family. Hey, all right, burn

1012
00:49:43,080 --> 00:49:46,640
Speaker 2: rates up here. Let's let's let's close with these final two.

1013
00:49:46,719 --> 00:49:49,799
Speaker 2: Nordo first. Yeah, we were talking about this yesterday during

1014
00:49:49,880 --> 00:49:52,320
Speaker 2: bikes fight, speaking of money. This time of year, team's

1015
00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:54,959
Speaker 2: not going to playoffs. People are playing for pride, people

1016
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:57,440
Speaker 2: are playing for the next year, maybe the next contract,

1017
00:49:57,480 --> 00:49:59,520
Speaker 2: et cetera. We get all that, but I mean, if

1018
00:49:59,560 --> 00:50:02,520
Speaker 2: Josh I'll Oliver gets two touchdowns the final three, he

1019
00:50:02,600 --> 00:50:04,680
Speaker 2: gets a two hundred and fifty thousand dollars incentive.

1020
00:50:04,719 --> 00:50:07,439
Speaker 4: Do players in the locker room know that these things

1021
00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:09,560
Speaker 4: are where they are incentive wise?

1022
00:50:09,640 --> 00:50:11,799
Speaker 7: Yeah, you don't keep that thing quiet, that's at all,

1023
00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:13,520
Speaker 7: not at all. I mean those things are talked about.

1024
00:50:13,560 --> 00:50:15,920
Speaker 7: I mean hopefully those all these players know the incentives

1025
00:50:15,920 --> 00:50:17,520
Speaker 7: they are baked into their contract, and you understand what

1026
00:50:17,520 --> 00:50:20,279
Speaker 7: they're dealing with. The ones that always got me was

1027
00:50:20,360 --> 00:50:23,359
Speaker 7: the playtime percentages, which I'm not sure if there's still

1028
00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:24,960
Speaker 7: that still a deal in the NFL contracts I was

1029
00:50:25,160 --> 00:50:27,279
Speaker 7: back in the day, Yeah, and that was always one

1030
00:50:27,480 --> 00:50:29,160
Speaker 7: was like, why are you stubbing that dude out right

1031
00:50:29,200 --> 00:50:31,120
Speaker 7: now when you know he needs like sixty five percent

1032
00:50:31,160 --> 00:50:32,560
Speaker 7: of snaps and he's ron sixty four.

1033
00:50:32,719 --> 00:50:35,040
Speaker 5: Wait, in your last game against the Giants, when I

1034
00:50:35,120 --> 00:50:37,600
Speaker 5: was going through these game logs, you had.

1035
00:50:37,719 --> 00:50:40,640
Speaker 4: Like thirty five. You're near the end, so it was caught.

1036
00:50:40,680 --> 00:50:43,520
Speaker 4: We've talked about that, but it was like thirty five,

1037
00:50:43,719 --> 00:50:48,440
Speaker 4: forty two, twenty seven, thirty five to two. Yeah, I'm like,

1038
00:50:49,840 --> 00:50:51,759
Speaker 4: were you sitting on something? They put you on a two.

1039
00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:54,040
Speaker 7: But when your back starts to hurt right now you're

1040
00:50:54,080 --> 00:50:56,040
Speaker 7: thirty two, that's because you're carrying the way to the

1041
00:50:56,120 --> 00:50:58,560
Speaker 7: world and the team unbelievable. Got four kids at home

1042
00:50:58,600 --> 00:50:59,960
Speaker 7: just trying to feed my family wreck and you get

1043
00:51:00,160 --> 00:51:02,840
Speaker 7: two snaps. But the nice part was I had no

1044
00:51:02,960 --> 00:51:07,040
Speaker 7: playtime minimum, no playtime for minimum, so you get you get.

1045
00:51:07,120 --> 00:51:10,160
Speaker 5: Tell me, yeah, this new wrestling bit you've assumed this year,

00:51:16,400 --> 00:51:19,520
Speaker 7: gonna play two snaps and maybe seven the next week.

1050
00:51:19,840 --> 00:51:21,360
Speaker 7: Why Anthony bar and Eric can just go out there

Speaker 7: and run around. I'm like, yeah, I can get in

1052
00:51:22,719 --> 00:51:24,400
Speaker 7: my head around that one. I'll align with that.

1093
00:53:26,160 --> 00:53:27,560
Speaker 4: I don't know. I can't remember if you did.

1094
00:53:28,239 --> 00:53:30,400
Speaker 5: Like, what kind of a deal is he sitting on

1095
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:34,160
Speaker 5: at age thirty one into his tenth year? Is he

1096
00:53:34,280 --> 00:53:36,800
Speaker 5: going to take a one year deal from somebody for

1097
00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:39,880
Speaker 5: like five six, seven million something like that.

1098
00:53:40,640 --> 00:53:41,960
Speaker 7: I don't know what the number is because I'm not

1099
00:53:42,000 --> 00:53:44,560
Speaker 7: following the NFL contracts. I just know that he deserves

1100
00:53:44,600 --> 00:53:46,640
Speaker 7: whatever he gets. Yeah, And I love a guy who

1101
00:53:46,760 --> 00:53:48,719
Speaker 7: just goes through there. I can't remember the guy's name

1102
00:53:48,719 --> 00:53:51,480
Speaker 7: when you started talking about this Buffalo Bills and have

1103
00:53:51,600 --> 00:53:53,960
Speaker 7: been a really good rush end for the Bills, was

1104
00:53:54,040 --> 00:53:56,480
Speaker 7: a special team or his whole career and being an

1105
00:53:56,520 --> 00:54:00,399
Speaker 7: All Pro and Harry Hull or Lorenzo Alexander Lorenzo al Yeah,

1106
00:54:00,440 --> 00:54:03,440
Speaker 7: and he played for Washington seven and you guys Sunday

1107
00:54:03,480 --> 00:54:07,160
Speaker 7: Night football, played both ways and slew me away because

1108
00:54:07,200 --> 00:54:09,320
Speaker 7: he was the h back in a defensive lineman and

1109
00:54:09,480 --> 00:54:11,080
Speaker 7: led him in special teams tackles.

1110
00:54:11,320 --> 00:54:14,000
Speaker 4: The year Sean Taylor died and Greg Williams, I'm all

1111
00:54:14,040 --> 00:54:16,359
Speaker 4: over wound up. Yeah, good, good, memory, good poll.

1112
00:54:16,719 --> 00:54:18,720
Speaker 7: And but you take a guy who is a special

1113
00:54:18,760 --> 00:54:21,839
Speaker 7: teams player his whole career basically, and you give him

1114
00:54:21,840 --> 00:54:22,400
Speaker 7: an opportunity.

1115
00:54:22,440 --> 00:54:23,760
Speaker 4: He's always been a probably a great player.

1116
00:54:23,840 --> 00:54:27,000
Speaker 7: Right now he gets an opportunity and matches his preparation

1117
00:54:27,120 --> 00:54:28,719
Speaker 7: and he goes out there and just makes these plays.

1118
00:54:28,760 --> 00:54:30,320
Speaker 7: He's always are on the ball, and he's he's getting

1119
00:54:30,400 --> 00:54:32,640
Speaker 7: sacks and we're loving him, right and now you're you're

1120
00:54:32,640 --> 00:54:34,200
Speaker 7: sitting on a I mean, what do you pay that guy?

1121
00:54:34,640 --> 00:54:36,080
Speaker 4: Well, you want to you want him to be here

1122
00:54:36,160 --> 00:54:37,799
Speaker 4: because you don't want another you don't want another gap

1123
00:54:37,880 --> 00:54:40,279
Speaker 4: to have to full. That's all next year. And I

1124
00:54:40,320 --> 00:54:42,239
Speaker 4: think if you can, you go like, is he a

1125
00:54:42,360 --> 00:54:45,000
Speaker 4: five million a year guy? That's six? Yea and I

1126
00:54:45,080 --> 00:54:45,960
Speaker 4: were talking about it is it?

1127
00:54:46,120 --> 00:54:46,279
Speaker 6: Is it?

1128
00:54:46,360 --> 00:54:47,960
Speaker 4: I bet one closer to eight or nine.

1129
00:54:48,239 --> 00:54:50,919
Speaker 7: Pay that man two years, fourteen million, let's walk away

1130
00:54:50,920 --> 00:54:51,719
Speaker 7: and give him high five.

1131
00:54:51,800 --> 00:54:53,879
Speaker 2: It's that type of deal, similar to what Mittellis got

1132
00:54:53,960 --> 00:54:55,600
Speaker 2: what three and three and thirty six?

1133
00:54:55,920 --> 00:54:57,440
Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, but he's five years.

1134
00:54:57,560 --> 00:54:59,600
Speaker 7: Yeah no, no, no, no, no, I'm not saying I

1135
00:54:59,640 --> 00:55:01,640
Speaker 7: kid play against what you say three thirty six.

1136
00:55:02,440 --> 00:55:03,920
Speaker 4: I could give him one more year be it.

1137
00:55:04,160 --> 00:55:06,439
Speaker 2: That kind of jump up, though, is what we're gonna see.

1138
00:55:06,480 --> 00:55:08,400
Speaker 2: To the extent that I think he's gonna make eightish

1139
00:55:08,440 --> 00:55:09,440
Speaker 2: million dollars a year, I.

1140
00:55:09,440 --> 00:55:11,600
Speaker 7: Think like that he should the two fok at his

1141
00:55:11,680 --> 00:55:14,040
Speaker 7: production based off of where he's aligned and paid.

1142
00:55:14,120 --> 00:55:16,040
Speaker 2: And there's part of this with leverage. I mean, you

1143
00:55:16,080 --> 00:55:18,759
Speaker 2: can appreciate the fact that Ivan Pace. It's not like

1144
00:55:18,920 --> 00:55:21,040
Speaker 2: Ivan Pace doesn't deserve to be in the league anymore.

1145
00:55:21,440 --> 00:55:24,520
Speaker 2: But Ivan Pace is not showing you that we could

1146
00:55:24,600 --> 00:55:27,000
Speaker 2: just simply move on from Eric Wilson and it's just

1147
00:55:27,080 --> 00:55:29,280
Speaker 2: good times with with number zero again.

1148
00:55:29,360 --> 00:55:33,160
Speaker 5: But what an elite call that was, because Lorenzo Alexander

1149
00:55:33,440 --> 00:55:37,920
Speaker 5: is is commissarate to to Eric Wilson. It's less it's

1150
00:55:38,040 --> 00:55:41,040
Speaker 5: less money because the less money was available then. But

1151
00:55:41,440 --> 00:55:45,120
Speaker 5: like he started in two thousand and five, Lorenzo Alexander

1152
00:55:45,239 --> 00:55:47,680
Speaker 5: and his first deal was for nine hundred and forty

1153
00:55:47,719 --> 00:55:51,200
Speaker 5: thousand dollars, all right, and then it basically stayed around there.

1154
00:55:51,280 --> 00:55:53,480
Speaker 5: Then he went to a series of one year, one

1155
00:55:53,640 --> 00:55:56,719
Speaker 5: two millions. Then he got to Buffalo Man and the

1156
00:55:56,840 --> 00:55:59,560
Speaker 5: whole thing came together. Like you said, his final two

1157
00:55:59,640 --> 00:56:02,880
Speaker 5: years he made six million and three point seven million dollars.

1158
00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:06,000
Speaker 7: Yes, that's a good comparion. Yeah, I think And you

1159
00:56:06,080 --> 00:56:08,360
Speaker 7: think back to that that first year of a million dollars.

1160
00:56:08,400 --> 00:56:10,400
Speaker 7: Basically you're talking, you know, you're you're making a league minimum,

1161
00:56:10,400 --> 00:56:12,120
Speaker 7: which at that point was three thirty five or three

1162
00:56:12,200 --> 00:56:13,920
Speaker 7: fifty or something whatever the math works out to be.

1163
00:56:14,520 --> 00:56:17,879
Speaker 7: So that's what That's what Wilson was on his first deal.

1164
00:56:18,239 --> 00:56:20,800
Speaker 7: You go and get an opportunity with a coach that

1165
00:56:20,880 --> 00:56:23,120
Speaker 7: has seen you work and see you grind and say hey.

1166
00:56:23,280 --> 00:56:24,080
Speaker 4: This kid can play.

1167
00:56:24,920 --> 00:56:26,839
Speaker 7: And and I think that you know what you talk

1168
00:56:26,880 --> 00:56:28,520
Speaker 7: about like and we talked about this dive and pace

1169
00:56:28,920 --> 00:56:32,000
Speaker 7: is that ivid. Pace was around the football making a

1170
00:56:32,040 --> 00:56:34,840
Speaker 7: lot of plays. Now, his start of the season was

1171
00:56:34,920 --> 00:56:37,400
Speaker 7: not maybe what we thought it could be. An opportunity

1172
00:56:37,520 --> 00:56:37,839
Speaker 7: was given.

1173
00:56:37,960 --> 00:56:41,200
Speaker 4: He never played on defense anymore. Wilson was given opportunity.

1174
00:56:41,320 --> 00:56:42,840
Speaker 4: And that's just the game. And all of a sudden,

1175
00:56:42,840 --> 00:56:44,200
Speaker 4: Wilson comes in has earned it.

1176
00:56:44,640 --> 00:56:46,800
Speaker 7: And like I always thought about this from a contract standpoint,

1177
00:56:46,880 --> 00:56:49,600
Speaker 7: is is you get paid based on what you've done,

1178
00:56:49,680 --> 00:56:52,040
Speaker 7: not to me, what you're projected to do.

1179
00:56:52,480 --> 00:56:54,080
Speaker 4: Right now, you can look at that both ways.

1180
00:56:54,239 --> 00:56:56,560
Speaker 7: Right, we're gonna pay you fourteen million dollars over two

1181
00:56:56,560 --> 00:56:57,560
Speaker 7: because we know you're gonna do this.

1182
00:56:57,719 --> 00:56:59,400
Speaker 4: Well, no, you're paying me that because of what I

1183
00:56:59,520 --> 00:57:02,359
Speaker 4: just did. Yeah, so like he's earned it. Pay him.

1184
00:57:02,760 --> 00:57:03,799
Speaker 4: You have so many guys out.

1185
00:57:03,719 --> 00:57:05,320
Speaker 7: There that are getting money that don't earn it and

1186
00:57:05,400 --> 00:57:07,960
Speaker 7: deserve it. He's a great locker room guy, he's a

1187
00:57:08,000 --> 00:57:10,040
Speaker 7: great person. He's a guy you want. He's a guy

1188
00:57:10,040 --> 00:57:12,279
Speaker 7: you want your organization, and you appreciate.

1189
00:57:11,840 --> 00:57:13,720
Speaker 4: His job him too. Yeah, I mean good lord.

1190
00:57:13,960 --> 00:57:18,040
Speaker 5: And and like Jalen Naylor is going to be unrestricted, Uh,

1191
00:57:18,280 --> 00:57:21,280
Speaker 5: Jalen Redman helped me with this e ERFA what.

1192
00:57:21,400 --> 00:57:23,960
Speaker 4: What's that mean? What's theation? But what's it mean?

1193
00:57:24,040 --> 00:57:24,200
Speaker 1: Though?

1194
00:57:24,720 --> 00:57:28,840
Speaker 6: Exclusive restriction, exclusive rights, free agency? Oh, the Vikings could

1195
00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:31,880
Speaker 6: hypothetically offer him a one year minimum deal, which does

1196
00:57:31,960 --> 00:57:34,520
Speaker 6: not seem fair with what Jalen Deudman has done this year,

1197
00:57:34,600 --> 00:57:37,480
Speaker 6: and it makes nine under grand. So it's I that's

1198
00:57:37,520 --> 00:57:39,520
Speaker 6: a tough situation. Been trying to work on it a

1199
00:57:39,560 --> 00:57:42,640
Speaker 6: little bit. It's a it's an interesting one, right, but

1200
00:57:42,680 --> 00:57:44,240
Speaker 6: they got those guys as free agents.

1201
00:57:44,360 --> 00:57:44,520
Speaker 4: Yep.

1202
00:57:44,640 --> 00:57:47,160
Speaker 5: So therefore now you're thinking about Wilson, that's actually one

1203
00:57:47,240 --> 00:57:49,400
Speaker 5: that that I was just a huge one after the season,

1204
00:57:49,480 --> 00:57:51,720
Speaker 5: here's the deal bro one and seven. Yeah, okay, and

1205
00:57:51,800 --> 00:57:53,520
Speaker 5: if you can go find two and twelve and a

1206
00:57:53,520 --> 00:57:54,440
Speaker 5: half two and fourteen?

1207
00:57:54,560 --> 00:57:57,240
Speaker 7: What just but with this now with the Redmond deal, though,

1208
00:57:57,240 --> 00:57:59,240
Speaker 7: I think this is a good will opportunity for the

1209
00:57:59,320 --> 00:58:01,760
Speaker 7: Vikings a step and say hey, we're gonna do this.

1210
00:58:01,920 --> 00:58:04,720
Speaker 4: We want you to sign it because we're working towards this. Yeah.

1211
00:58:04,760 --> 00:58:07,320
Speaker 7: And an agent understands when you're working with different organizations

1212
00:58:07,400 --> 00:58:09,840
Speaker 7: of who's who's full of it and who's not. And

1213
00:58:09,920 --> 00:58:12,600
Speaker 7: I think in this situation, how the Vikings have operated

1214
00:58:12,600 --> 00:58:14,640
Speaker 7: their business is they know if they say something, they're

1215
00:58:14,640 --> 00:58:17,400
Speaker 7: gonna most likely do it and or at least try

1216
00:58:17,480 --> 00:58:18,520
Speaker 7: to do it or work to do it.

1217
00:58:18,720 --> 00:58:18,919
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1218
00:58:19,080 --> 00:58:20,920
Speaker 7: And I think that's something where you say, listen, we

1219
00:58:20,960 --> 00:58:23,000
Speaker 7: don't we know what this kid's doing and has done

1220
00:58:23,080 --> 00:58:25,320
Speaker 7: and is going to do. Let's build that goodwill for

1221
00:58:25,360 --> 00:58:27,240
Speaker 7: a deal that's gonna come during the season next year

1222
00:58:27,320 --> 00:58:29,120
Speaker 7: or the year after going into free agency.

1223
00:58:29,200 --> 00:58:31,920
Speaker 4: You're playing fast. Yeah, thank you very much for there

1224
00:58:32,000 --> 00:58:33,280
Speaker 4: is that car time. You know I had time to

1225
00:58:33,320 --> 00:58:34,080
Speaker 4: think about it, do you?

1226
00:58:34,480 --> 00:58:34,520
Speaker 2: So?

Speaker 4: trying to come up with the Eric Wilson contrac rob.

1239

1240
00:59:04,880 --> 00:59:05,040
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1241
00:59:05,400 --> 00:59:08,040
Speaker 7: What I'm most excited about is these last three is

1242
00:59:08,120 --> 00:59:09,960
Speaker 7: this momentum we're building with the two. We just had

1243
00:59:10,120 --> 00:59:13,720
Speaker 7: best ever with the feast or the team both all right,

1244
00:59:13,800 --> 00:59:16,080
