1
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:19,640
Speaker 1: Well, at five o'clock, we have an all time great

2
00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:23,240
Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings receiver, former receiver Chris Carter on the program.

3
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:26,440
Speaker 1: Right now, we have an all time great Minnesota Vikings

4
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 1: receiver who's still with the team, Adam Thielen, kind enough

5
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 1: to join us as well. I don't even know where

6
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:35,320
Speaker 1: to begin. You know how this works. I mean, this

7
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:38,600
Speaker 1: town lives and dies with games played by the Vikings

8
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 1: more than any other team in this town. It's on

9
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 1: a plane. You've been around it long enough to know

10
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 1: that it's on a plane all of its own. So

11
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:52,160
Speaker 1: the frustration is palpable. I don't know if you hear booze,

12
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 1: if you heard them, or or wherever. There were certainly

13
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 1: some yesterday frustrated with the struggling nature of the passing game.

14
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 1: To the average roob out there who's concerned that this

15
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 1: season is kind of getting away from their favorite team,

16
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:06,959
Speaker 1: what's your message?

17
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I think, I think at the end

18
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 2: of the day, those same frustrations were right there with you.

19
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 2: Right Like, we we put a lot of work and dedication,

20
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,679
Speaker 2: and we've talked about on the show plenty of times,

21
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 2: right like all the all the you know, workouts and

22
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 2: sacrifices and all the OTAs and training camp practices that

23
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 2: are not the most fun, right, Like, you're not playing

24
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 2: a game every week at that time, you know, you

25
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 2: do that all for to have success from the season.

26
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 2: When you're not having that success, it's extremely frustrating. And

27
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,960
Speaker 2: we understand the frustrations, right, we're right there with that

28
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,119
Speaker 2: fan base. Obviously, I grew up a fan, so I'm

29
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 2: I've even got a little extra you know, extra just

30
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 2: motivation to have success in in this uniform. But yeah,

31
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 2: so we we we hear you. But at the end

32
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 2: of the day, for us, it's a week's week league.

33
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 2: You got to show up. You got to find a

34
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 2: way to get better as quickly as possible to give

35
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 2: yourself an opportunity to win the game next week. And momentum,

36
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 2: as we've talked about before, is huge, right, We're kind

37
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 2: of momentums against us right now. We've had a couple

38
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 2: of rough weeks that haven't gone our way, and we

39
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 2: got to find a way to shift that momentum and

40
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 2: start kind of bringing that momentum back on our side

41
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 2: like it was after Detroit and find a way to

42
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,959
Speaker 2: rattle a bunch off. But it starts with Wednesday's preparation

43
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 2: and then obviously the game Sunday.

44
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 1: It's there's obviously extra cruelty to you get the go

45
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 1: ahead touchdown and then they get the long kickoff return,

46
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 1: and it has to feel you know, I know, teams

47
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 1: are you know, trained to never celebrate too soon, but

48
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 1: to lose that way when you thought, probably on a

49
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 1: day where you know you didn't play as a team

50
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 1: all that great through much of it, certainly offensively, there

51
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: was still the hope to steal it. Is it even

52
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 1: tougher to swallow when it's a game that ends the

53
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:01,519
Speaker 1: way this one did.

54
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 2: I think it is. Yeah, I think I think you

55
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:09,359
Speaker 2: know it's in this league, those those wins mean so much, right,

56
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,079
Speaker 2: one win at that point the season can just give

57
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 2: you just so much more opportunity towards the end of

58
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,799
Speaker 2: the year. So yeah, when it slips out of your hand,

59
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 2: when it's right there, when we fought back and like

60
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,640
Speaker 2: you said, we didn't play great the whole game and

61
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 2: come back and take the lead with fifty seconds left, yeah,

62
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 2: it's it's definitely tough. And I think that's where we

63
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 2: all go look at that tape and we say, man

64
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 2: like we can't wait until the last drive to go

65
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 2: have success and go put ourselves in a good position,

66
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 2: Like there's no reason why we can't do that same

67
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 2: thing we did in that drive, right, you know, converting

68
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 2: third downs, fourth downs and sustaining drives, making great great

69
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 2: throws and rhythm and timing and guys getting open against

70
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 2: the same coverage of your face in the entire day.

71
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 2: So it's that little glimpse of like, man, it's not like,

72
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 2: it's not like we can't do it, and we're like

73
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 2: trying to find a way to like make it happen.

74
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 2: It's like, no, it's happened. It's happened in the Detride

75
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 2: game where we played cultromery football and did it in

76
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 2: all three phases and and won a big game on

77
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 2: the road. Like, those things are there, And I think

78
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,279
Speaker 2: that's what makes the most prussuring, is why are those

79
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 2: things not happening consistently? And I think we all individually

80
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 2: feel that, Like, you know, we all come out of

81
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,279
Speaker 2: those games and we all can't sleep at night. You know,

82
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,720
Speaker 2: we come in on Monday morning, we all talk about manage.

83
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 2: Couldn't sleep last night. I was thinking about this play.

84
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 2: I was thinking about that play like I wish I

85
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 2: would have done this. I wish I would have done

86
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 2: that better. We all, you know, it's it's not easy

87
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 2: for us as players and and it's what helps you

88
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 2: become successful in this league. But you got to find

89
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 2: a way to change that quickly and find that momentum.

90
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 1: Well, you know, people will look, you know, look back

91
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:54,599
Speaker 1: on the last scoring drive where things went so well

92
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 1: and JJ looked more settled, and say, well, wait a minute,

93
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 1: why can't we run hurry up all the time? Maybe

94
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,919
Speaker 1: in those situations the game is simplified, maybe he doesn't

95
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 1: have as many things to call, or there aren't as

96
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: many choices, or it becomes a little easier for him

97
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:16,919
Speaker 1: to succeed. Coaches are asked that all the time, about

98
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 1: well just keep going hurry up. You know, dude, do

99
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 1: that the whole game. I assume you tell us it's

100
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,839
Speaker 1: not quite that simple. But is there something to be

101
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 1: gained from that? I mean, is there something about that

102
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 1: situation that can be capitalized on, whether it is simplifying

103
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: or changing whatever reads decisions that JJ has to make

104
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: at the line of scrimmage, or does that have nothing

105
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 1: to do with it? He just made more accurate throws.

106
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 2: I think there's I think there's two sides of it, right,

107
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 2: I think there is. Yeah, there's there's truth in everything, right,

108
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 2: I think there is truth to say, Yeah, there was

109
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:51,159
Speaker 2: in all in all aspects, I think things were just

110
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 2: clicking a little faster. There was less thinking, There was

111
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 2: a little bit of pace in and out of the huddle.

112
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 2: Obviously not even getting in a huddle, so there was

113
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 2: a little just bit of pace to the energy. I

114
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 2: also believe there are side of it is but we're

115
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,600
Speaker 2: also earning first downs, which is kind of where where

116
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:12,159
Speaker 2: we've struggled really all year is just giving us more plays.

117
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 2: You know, we got to get those first first downs

118
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 2: just to give us an opportunity to get more plays,

119
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 2: to allow us to have the opportunity to get explosives.

120
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,039
Speaker 2: And so I think, yeah, I think I think we

121
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,839
Speaker 2: You always come out of games as an individual learning

122
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 2: something that you could use the next week to get better,

123
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 2: and I think as coaches they every week they kind

124
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 2: of grab stuff from the game that you do really

125
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 2: well and say, okay, we can we can build off

126
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 2: that and we can use that. Especially with a young quarterback,

127
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,279
Speaker 2: right they don't know him very well. There's not. There

128
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:49,720
Speaker 2: hasn't been a ton of games that they've been able

129
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 2: to evaluate to say Okay, he's really good at this,

130
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 2: or or he's really you know, more comfortable doing this.

131
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,599
Speaker 2: Like there, we're all kind of learning together what this

132
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five minute offense is going to be good at.

133
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:06,119
Speaker 2: And I think again, we'll we'll definitely take some things.

134
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 2: And but you also, it doesn't make an excuse for

135
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 2: you know, we also got to execute better when when

136
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 2: we're not in hurry. I mean, it's not realistic to

137
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 2: just go hurry up entire game. That's not how it works. Well,

138
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 2: I think, well, I think we'll be able to use

139
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 2: some of that to our advantage in the future.

140
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 1: You've obviously been around a long time and so you've

141
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 1: you've worked with a lot of quarterbacks and a lot

142
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 1: of different personalities. Do you have any theories for when

143
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 1: the ball's going, you know, twenty yards over JJ's head.

144
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 1: Is that is that a little bit of hyperventilation?

145
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 2: Is it?

146
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 1: You know, Okay, I've just made three not so good

147
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 1: plays and now I'm trying to be too perfect and

148
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: I'm still too jacked up? Or what do you think?

149
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 1: What's your best you know, opinion. Educated opinion is a

150
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 1: guy who's around him and been around a lot of

151
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 1: quarterbacks to try to get a better handle on what's

152
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 1: happening when the ball's going wild for him.

153
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 2: Well, I think if you look at really any position

154
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 2: and you look at when guys are kind of in

155
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 2: the flow or not in the flow, I think it

156
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 2: all comes down to momentum, right, Like like you make

157
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 2: a couple of good plays and like all of a sudden,

158
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 2: like you can't miss right because you're in this like

159
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 2: flow state because there's so much confidence and like you're

160
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 2: feeling it, you're seeing it, and things are going well, right.

161
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 2: I think when you get those games and I and

162
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 2: I kind of talked to a few guys today, it's

163
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 2: like sometimes you get in these games and like nothing's

164
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 2: going right, you know, like you maybe you maybe miss

165
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 2: one here, or or maybe a guy drops one here,

166
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 2: and and there's just like just's just it's you're almost

167
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 2: like just trying to claw and dig and try to

168
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 2: get out of this hole, and you end up just

169
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 2: digging your hole even deeper. Uh. I've been there personally,

170
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 2: where you you make a couple of bad plays early

171
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 2: you maybe you drop ball, or you run a bad

172
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:56,440
Speaker 2: route and and you feel like you're just trying to

173
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 2: dig out this hole, and you press a little bit

174
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 2: and and you end up, you know, actually hurting yourself

175
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,319
Speaker 2: because you're like you're trying to do too much. Right.

176
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,559
Speaker 2: I'm not saying that necessarily the case, but from my

177
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:11,079
Speaker 2: personal experience of my own game, that definitely has been

178
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 2: the case in the past. So yeah, you just got

179
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 2: to find a way to just go back to the

180
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 2: simple things. And it's a lot easier said than done,

181
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,719
Speaker 2: but just kind of go back to, Okay, my footwork,

182
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 2: my timing, my eyes, you know what is my reed

183
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 2: on this play? You know, that's that's really where I've

184
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 2: had experiences like you just go back to like, hey,

185
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 2: like I have a five step rout here, I got

186
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 2: third outside, I gotta I gotta line up with my

187
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 2: left foot up, I gotta be a plus two splits.

188
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 2: Like you just go back to those little little details

189
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:42,200
Speaker 2: and then you make a play boom. Now you make

190
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 2: another play boom. Now you're kind of in this back

191
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 2: into this rhythm and momentum on your side.

192
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:49,559
Speaker 1: Well, I would assume, too, human nature being what it

193
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:53,439
Speaker 1: is that it is, if the quarterback is pressing because

194
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 1: he's got some accuracy issues. Then I think receivers same way,

195
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:00,960
Speaker 1: where Okay, I gotta make this catch. We got to

196
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 1: get one of those first sounds that you were talking about,

197
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 1: and it may be more likely that then, you know,

198
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 1: you don't hold onto a ball. You had one that

199
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:11,839
Speaker 1: I thought ordinarily you get. I didn't think it was

200
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 1: the easiest catch, but I thought it was a catch

201
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 1: you usually make. I know JJ had one. There were

202
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:20,319
Speaker 1: several where I thought there were several drops in addition

203
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 1: to two accuracy issues. So can one thing actually compound

204
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 1: the other where whether you're a more veteran player or not,

205
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 1: that everything seems, you know, almost magnified if an offense

206
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:34,440
Speaker 1: is just not going very good.

207
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's kind of you know, where we're

208
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 2: at in the season, where we were at in that

209
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 2: game that like there wasn't any room for air, right right.

210
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:47,200
Speaker 2: You kind of set yourself up for that by the

211
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 2: way that you played in a game or the way

212
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 2: that the season has gone. You kind of set yourself

213
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 2: up for this kind of this spot where like there's

214
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 2: there's this minimal room for air. And does that mean

215
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 2: that the season's over? Absolutely? Not does that I mean

216
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 2: the game's over, No, but yeah, you're you're backed up

217
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 2: against the wall. There's not you know, one one little

218
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 2: minute thing is amplified. And that's not just in a

219
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 2: game setting, but also in a season. So yeah, I

220
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 2: think that's but that's not always a bad thing, right.

221
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 2: That that makes you have to prepare a little bit harder,

222
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 2: right because you know how every play could matter in

223
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:26,439
Speaker 2: the grand scheme of things, and that one play might

224
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 2: dig you out of that hole as an offense and

225
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:32,319
Speaker 2: might and might create the kind of spark you need

226
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 2: to have. That last drive that we had, you know,

227
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,559
Speaker 2: there was a couple I think plays in that drive

228
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 2: that you say, man, you know TJ runs a great

229
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:43,599
Speaker 2: choice route and maybe has fifteen twenty our games, like

230
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 2: maybe that play right there just like allowed us to

231
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 2: go down and score. And you never know what that

232
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:50,200
Speaker 2: play is going to be. So when you know that

233
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 2: and your backs against the wall, when you prepare, you're like,

234
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 2: you know, a little maybe a little extra communication on

235
00:11:55,520 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 2: a Wednesday to JJ or him to us as receivers

236
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 2: say hey, I'm thinking this, you know, against this coverage.

237
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 2: And I think it's those things that you don't really

238
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 2: think about until your backs up against the wall and

239
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,440
Speaker 2: can really help repel you to have success the next

240
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 2: week and hopefully continuing forward.

241
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 1: You know, to this point, it seems as if McCarthy,

242
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 1: you know, JJ is saying all the right things before

243
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:22,199
Speaker 1: games and after games, and he did take a lot

244
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 1: of accountability for his performance in this last game. But again,

245
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 1: as a veteran guy, there's always I think, got to

246
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 1: be the concern, particularly given the focus of the position

247
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:37,320
Speaker 1: of even a confident player or getting beaten down a

248
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 1: little bit, whether he's even acknowledging it publicly or not,

249
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 1: that there's a mental side to this game. Do you

250
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:44,959
Speaker 1: worry about that at all with him? Do you sense

251
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 1: any of that? And is that something you ever would

252
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 1: talk to him about?

253
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 2: You know, and even I would even take it further.

254
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:52,960
Speaker 2: I think I think us as athletes to get to

255
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:57,319
Speaker 2: this spot, you're extremely hard on yourself right without any

256
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:01,320
Speaker 2: media or fans, and and just like you said, the

257
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 2: attention on us as players, but more simply as quarterbacks,

258
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 2: we already put a lot of pressure on ourselves. You know,

259
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 2: Like I can't sleep last night because I'm thinking about

260
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 2: that player you're talking about, man, Like what could have

261
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:14,960
Speaker 2: I done to make sure I make that play to

262
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 2: help him out? You know, it's it's that that pressure

263
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 2: you put on yourself that really ultimately drives you to

264
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 2: come back Wednesday and be more prepared and detailed. But

265
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 2: I will say about jaj Is is he's he's the

266
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 2: guy that can handle it right. That's why they draft

267
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 2: him so high because of what they saw him in college.

268
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 2: To be able to handle adversity, to be able to

269
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,320
Speaker 2: play in big games, to be able to find a

270
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,439
Speaker 2: way to be as best when as best is required,

271
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 2: and we see that weekend, day in day out with him.

272
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:48,319
Speaker 2: Is he's got He's got a great mindset. He's got

273
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 2: a really unique ability to just kind of flush what's happened,

274
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 2: to be able to refocus each week, each each play,

275
00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 2: you know, Uh, if he was mentally weak, or if

276
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 2: he couldn't handle this game and how scrutinized that position,

277
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:07,439
Speaker 2: and if he couldn't handle that, he wanted to have

278
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 2: had that last drive he did uh in the game.

279
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 2: And so those are the those are the things that

280
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:15,200
Speaker 2: give you confidence and a guy and and we, like

281
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,599
Speaker 2: I said, we feel that every single day that his mentality,

282
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 2: his attitude, his effort. He's also a young guy, right,

283
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 2: I think he's pretty old, so, uh that also is

284
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 2: to his benefit because when you're young, you kind of

285
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 2: just show up and and you find a way to

286
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 2: get better, and and you don't really think about the

287
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 2: big picture. You just you just you just live in

288
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 2: the moment. And that's a great, great trait to have.

289
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 1: You stay in the division. Uh this so another division game? Uh?

290
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 1: Do you do you like division games? I mean, do

291
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 1: you is there is there some is there a little

292
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 1: bit of extra juice? Obviously you got a lot on

293
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 1: the line. You guys got to start winning some games

294
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 1: no matter who you're playing. But generally speaking, you know

295
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 1: this division obviously very well. Is it a little is

296
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 1: there a little extra juice for for that? You do

297
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 1: you revel in these games against other teams within the division,

298
00:14:58,880 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 1: especially the Packers and Bear?

299
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 2: Absolutely? I think I think you know, first of all,

300
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 2: every game is important this league. But then when you

301
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 2: play these division opponents and how much that means for

302
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 2: your opportunity to make the playoffs. Uh, you know, you

303
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 2: know that these games are even bigger than just a

304
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 2: normal regular season game. And then when you're playing a

305
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 2: division arrival, right, like, like, no one in this state

306
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 2: likes the agreement Packers, and we feel that as players,

307
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 2: even if you're not from the state of Minnesota, you

308
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 2: still feel that from the fans and you know the

309
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 2: sense of urgency that we're at in the season, and yeah,

310
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 2: it's exciting to be able to go on the road

311
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 2: and play a divisional opponent. It's a really good football team.

312
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 2: I think when you play in this league and you

313
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 2: know you're playing a good football team, you know you're

314
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 2: playing a really good defense, it kind of gives you

315
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 2: a little extra motivation to go out there and prepare

316
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 2: it in a way that is different than than any

317
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 2: other week to that you're ready and locked in to

318
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 2: give your best effort to show show that you are

319
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 2: a team that can beat those teams and excited about

320
00:15:59,880 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 2: that opportunity to go back to work and do that.

321
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 1: Do you have a favorite road ballpark stadium that you

322
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 1: love playing in, whether it's the atmosphere or whatever that

323
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 1: you just that you love, you you think is a

324
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 1: cut above the rest of them.

325
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I think I think you know, Lambeau

326
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 2: is one of those that you just kind of the

327
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 2: history just kind of growing up and and even if

328
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 2: you're not from this rivalry, from these states around here,

329
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 2: you still know about Lambeoufield, the history and and all

330
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 2: that's talked about, the frozen frozen tundra. Like everybody knows

331
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 2: about Lambeufield. I think it's a really special place to play,

332
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 2: and never never take that opportunity for granted. For sure,

333
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 2: you know, there's a couple of other Seattle I think

334
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 2: is a really cool place to play. Just the atmosphere,

335
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 2: the the energy of that stadium, kind of that that

336
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 2: twelfth Man. You know, it's a it's a really unique

337
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 2: place to play in a unique environment. But yeah, I

338
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 2: think Green Bay is definitely one of those places that

339
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 2: that you look forward to playing every year, and this

340
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 2: week pretty cool. My family gets to enjoy it for

341
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 2: the first time. My kids have never been there, and

342
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:08,119
Speaker 2: they don't nice seek so excited about that for them.

343
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 1: That's outstanding. Well, the word seems to be the rep

344
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 1: I think the reputation that Packers fans have when they're

345
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 1: hosting Lambeau is slightly more civil than Eagles fans, right,

346
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:23,479
Speaker 1: even though there's great hatred obviously between the two fan bases.

347
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:27,640
Speaker 1: Most people I've talked to Vikings fans who go say, yeah,

348
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 1: there's some stuff that goes on, but it ain't exactly

349
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:31,639
Speaker 1: like you got to worry about maybe you know, a

350
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 1: shive in the ribs like when you go to Eagles games.

351
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:36,160
Speaker 1: So that probably is a little comforting too, even if

352
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:40,360
Speaker 1: it's an enemy territory in Green Bay, that is for sure.

353
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're they're they're a great fan base, obviously, very

354
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 2: passionate and very competitive. My my father in law is

355
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 2: a die hard Packer fan, so so I get I

356
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:55,040
Speaker 2: understand a little bit more of what those Packer fans

357
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 2: are really like watching him watch games on Sundays every

358
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:00,440
Speaker 2: once in a while. And but yeah, I know it's

359
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:04,360
Speaker 2: it's they're a great fan base obviously Midwest, Midwest people. Uh,

360
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:06,679
Speaker 2: for the most part, they're they're they're they're really uh

361
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 2: considerate fan bases, and I think they really enjoy kind

362
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:12,679
Speaker 2: of showing off their stadium and their atmosphere and then

363
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 2: welcoming the away fans. But it is fun to be

364
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:18,880
Speaker 2: able to quiet them down a little bit when when

365
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 2: when things are going well and you're able to have

366
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,159
Speaker 2: successive success of that place that not a lot of

367
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 2: teams have. So that's a that's a great challenge.

368
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 1: Thanks Adam, good luck against the Packers. We'll check next week.

369
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 2: Appreciate you all right, Thanks good talking to you.

370
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 1: Adam Feeling Vikings wide receiver, very clearly disappointed with the

371
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:41,680
Speaker 1: result again yesterday is the Vikings fall. Now a couple

372
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 1: games under the five hundred mark. Johnny Athletics going to

373
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 1: join at the top of the hour. Chris Carter, speaking

374
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 1: of Vikings receivers, is scheduled for five oh two today.

375
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:55,200
Speaker 1: Will have Nacho shortened version of Nacho probably about all

376
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:59,160
Speaker 1: for forty five for forty seven or so. We got

377
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 1: a lot of Vikings talk points that will include into

378
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 1: the mix as well. The Bradshawn Brian kfe In text

379
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:09,879
Speaker 1: line you'll not be surprised to learn is hot today

380
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,880
Speaker 1: at six four six eighty six. It tends to work

381
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 1: that way, more so after losses than after victories, because

382
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:20,119
Speaker 1: everybody has the answer. I will say, I got to

383
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:23,199
Speaker 1: get your reaction to this. Uh texture guy, This is

384
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 1: from Alan Plymouth. See what he believes that feeling has

385
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 1: boxed us up unwittingly. Okay, I'm listening, Damn. Felan just

386
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 1: nailed it. Listen to him speak about fundamentals and that's

387
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 1: what thelan was talking about in terms of receivers, the

388
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 1: little you know, the little things you have to do

389
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:47,880
Speaker 1: that you do have to Even if you're the technique,

390
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 1: a magnificent professional with a great career at wide receiver,

391
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:55,640
Speaker 1: you still have to pay attention to techniques. So maybe

392
00:19:55,680 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 1: we're boxed. I don't know. I would say the frequency

393
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 1: with which we've had to listen to that sort of

394
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:09,920
Speaker 1: word salad is not helpful, especially I think when it's

395
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:15,119
Speaker 1: coupled with well, he's, you know, the toughest guy in

396
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 1: the world, and and he's a great leader. And as

397
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 1: I said, that all may end up being true, but

398
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:24,880
Speaker 1: you got to have more in the plate. You gotta

399
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 1: have more in the resume before you anoint yourself nine

400
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:31,880
Speaker 1: or you go down several of those roads. I would say,

401
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 1: I will add quickly, by the way, do we have

402
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:38,480
Speaker 1: I forgot my talking points list? Do we have a

403
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 1: talking point on the kickoff return that ultimately turned the game?

404
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 1: Did you do kind of that was the inn in

405
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 1: the angle, the ecstasy in the agony, the ecstasy in

406
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 1: the agony? How long is it?

407
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:53,160
Speaker 2: Four?

408
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:55,199
Speaker 1: All right? Then maybe we'll hold on to it. Well,

409
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 1: what I was going to say is you can put

410
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 1: me firmly in the categorylory of a snarky one who

411
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:07,439
Speaker 1: does not believe the Vikings screwed up not kicking the

412
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:11,679
Speaker 1: ball deep. I had no problem with the decision. It

413
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 1: was a very good kickoff. It was to the far side,

414
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:17,920
Speaker 1: in the corner, to the one or two yard line,

415
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 1: and given the circumstances, it's easy to say, now, well, yeah,

416
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 1: well they're going to get a sixty five yard return.

417
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 1: Whatever it was. Yeah, just kicking the end zone. But

418
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:31,439
Speaker 1: obviously we don't know that's what's going to happen. And

419
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 1: I would say, again, if the Vike, if the Bears

420
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:38,200
Speaker 1: needed a touchdown, I might accept that premise. The fact

421
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 1: is they needed a field goal to win, not just

422
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 1: to tie the game, to win the game. I don't

423
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,119
Speaker 1: put them at the thirty five. So ten out of

424
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 1: ten times I do exactly what the Vikings did. Now,

425
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:50,200
Speaker 1: obviously it's got to be, you know, defended better, that's

426
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 1: the problem. Yeah, but I was not in the group

427
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 1: that said we screwed up kick the ball deep, played

428
00:21:56,920 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 1: defense because your defense had played better. It looked like

429
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 1: the Bears were reeling a little bit. Looked like Caleb

430
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:06,360
Speaker 1: was frustrated a little bit, but I would still ten

431
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:08,440
Speaker 1: out of ten times I'm kicking the ball in that situation.

432
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:13,640
Speaker 3: I liked what KOs said. I think today that our

433
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 3: kickoff coverage unit has been very good. Yes, they've been

434
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 3: very good, and honestly, they deserved an opportunity to go

435
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 3: make that play. And he said, a couple of they're

436
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:25,399
Speaker 3: always young guys, A couple of young guys got out

437
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 3: of their lanes a little bit, got over their skis. Well,

438
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,120
Speaker 3: probably wanted to blow somebody up at the fifteen right

439
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 3: and have US Bank Stadium go crazy, and that's what

440
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 3: allowed him to just sneak out the right side and

441
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:38,200
Speaker 3: basically take it sixty five yards. So that one didn't

442
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 3: bother me either, because, like you said, it's fifty seconds,

443
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 3: which is an eternity.

444
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 1: Three timeouts, three timeouts.

445
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 3: And we have another talking point by Federated talking about

446
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:48,200
Speaker 3: Caleb Williams. You haven't gotten him on the ground. You

447
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 3: got him on the ground once all day, Like he

448
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 3: can eat up fifteen yards in three seconds, right if

449
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:56,359
Speaker 3: he just drops back and runs. So and even though

450
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:58,680
Speaker 3: their kicker had missed one from I think forty four,

451
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 3: it's really hard to count on that again that we

452
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 3: saw it.

453
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:07,359
Speaker 1: He almost missed it. I almost there that there was

454
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:11,639
Speaker 1: something religious because that ball was heading left and it

455
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,360
Speaker 1: almost felt like Augusta Wynn pushed it back right.

456
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:15,960
Speaker 3: I thought it was going to be no good again

457
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 3: or was it the skycam? Did it hit the skycamp

458
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:18,400
Speaker 3: this time?

459
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:23,920
Speaker 1: It got sent checked the video get in by much.

460
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:26,199
Speaker 1: It did not get in by much. And it was

461
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 1: like the the other one was wide left and it

462
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:31,920
Speaker 1: was headed in that direction as well. But all's well,

463
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 1: that ends poorly. Uh, we'll make this the top of

464
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,639
Speaker 1: the hour break. We'll get Johnny Athletic on the Purple.

465
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:39,119
Speaker 1: We'll get Johnny Athletic on the Wolves, who are indeed

466
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:41,719
Speaker 1: back in action tonight on the fan correct against Dallas

467
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:45,399
Speaker 1: against the Dallas Mavericks who've got a new general manager. Well,

468
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 1: actually I don't know if they have an acting one.

469
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:52,480
Speaker 1: They got about seven players I'm not exaggerating in street clothes,

470
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 1: including street clothes himself, Anthony Davis. Anthony Davis as Charles Barkley,

471
00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:01,800
Speaker 1: has anointed him. Kyrie's out, Kyrie. It's Cooper Flag's playing.

472
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 1: Apparently Cooper Flag is playing point guard, or at least

473
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:05,439
Speaker 1: they were trying to play them at point guard as well,

474
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:07,200
Speaker 1: So we'll get into all of that and who knows

475
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 1: what else with our guy Johnny Chris Carter in about

476
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:11,439
Speaker 1: an hour. Stay tuned,
