1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:06,800
Speaker 1: Man, Welcome into the two Minute Warning presented by three M,

2
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:10,520
Speaker 1: the official science partner of the Minnesota Vikings. I'm your

3
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:13,119
Speaker 1: host Tatum Everett from the Vikings Entertainment Network, and it's

4
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:16,960
Speaker 1: Week fourteen. The Vikings returned to US Bank Stadium against

5
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 1: the Washington Commanders, looking to snap before game skid. Both

6
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:24,160
Speaker 1: teams come in needing that victory in Minnesota is four

7
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 1: and eight after a brutal twenty six to zero shutout

8
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 1: in Seattle, and Washington's riding a seven game losing streak

9
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 1: that includes back to back overtime heartbreakers. Now Vegas has

10
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 1: this one as a near pickum, with the Commander slightly

11
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 1: favored and the total hovering around forty one and a

12
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:43,479
Speaker 1: half points, so don't expect too many fireworks, but do

13
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 1: expect a gritty battle between two teams fighting for pride.

14
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 1: Head coach Kevin O'Connell checked in on Friday in his

15
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:53,200
Speaker 1: final presser before the game and had this to say,

16
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 1: all Right.

17
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 2: Proud of our team with the work of practice we

18
00:00:55,840 --> 00:01:00,120
Speaker 2: had this week. Got had three really good days and

19
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 2: guys are excited to play at US Bank Stadium.

20
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 3: We got to play better than we have at home.

21
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 2: We know that's a huge part of it, our fan

22
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 2: base being bringing the energy, and we got to give

23
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 2: him a reason to bring the energy. And and I

24
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 2: know our our team and and the type of work work.

25
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 3: Week that we've had.

26
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 2: I feel really good about our guys playing well this Sunday,

27
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 2: h you know, against a really well coached, really talented

28
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 2: football team.

29
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 3: So it should be a very good football game. I

30
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 3: want to highlight CJ.

31
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 4: Ham, you know, told the team a few days ago,

32
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 4: but just winning the Walter Payton Man of the Year

33
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 4: voted by his teammates not a surprise at all.

34
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 3: Everything about c J.

35
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 4: Ham is uh is what really makes my job so special.

36
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 4: Getting the coach, players like him, getting to be around

37
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 4: players like him, players like him, making me better.

38
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 3: On and off the field. It is uh. You know.

39
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 2: I can't say enough good things about what he means,

40
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 2: what he's meant to the community, both him and his

41
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 2: wife's staph. What they've done in the Twin Cities here

42
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 2: and beyond is one of one in my opinion, So

43
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,640
Speaker 2: very thankful that we get to recognize c jm what

44
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 2: he means to our team, organization and community as well.

45
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 2: Game status updates, THEO Jackson and Levi Drake will be

46
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:20,359
Speaker 2: out this week. We'll have three players with the questionable

47
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 2: tag Ty Chandler, who's you know, we just opened up

48
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 2: his window this week, and then Donovan Jackson and Christian

49
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 2: darrisaw both guys, both CD and.

50
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:32,640
Speaker 3: Donovan got some great work in today.

51
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,679
Speaker 2: See how they turn over over the next twenty four

52
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 2: hours and hopefully have both those guys for the game.

53
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,079
Speaker 5: Kevin, with the news of Jayden and Daniels playing, what

54
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 5: do you remember about the time you spent around him

55
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 5: in the draft process.

56
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, Jaden is you know, as as talented as they come.

57
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 3: We saw it on display last year.

58
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 2: You know obviously when he you know, had the year

59
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 2: he had, he's had, you know, that same impact when

60
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 2: he's been on the field.

61
00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 3: So we've kind of went about it all week like

62
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 3: we're gonna see.

63
00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 2: Him, knowing not only Jayden, but how Marcus.

64
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 3: Has played as well.

65
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,799
Speaker 2: So, uh, you know, their offense doesn't change a whole

66
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,239
Speaker 2: lot schematically, but obviously Jayden Daniels is one of the

67
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 2: best young players in the NFL, and uh, you know,

68
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 2: glad he's able to you know, recover from that injury

69
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 2: and and get a chance to compete but we got

70
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,519
Speaker 2: to be ready to play a good defense, which we've

71
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 2: been playing lately. Proud of that group, and and we've

72
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 2: got to have a complimentary game with the other two

73
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 2: phases as well to win this one.

74
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:30,919
Speaker 3: In stood our most washing him coming out for the

75
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 3: most I.

76
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 4: Just think, uh, the you know, I I had done

77
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 4: quite a bit excuse me, quite a bit of work

78
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 4: on him the previous year and then uh, you know,

79
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 4: which there was a lot to like on that tape,

80
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 4: and then you take a step forward with what he did,

81
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 4: uh in in his final year at LSU. The growth

82
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 4: from one year to the other was was phenomenal. And

83
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 4: that's saying something because he was a really good player

84
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 4: of the previous year. I had, you know, the ability

85
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 4: just through some connections at the you know area, even

86
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 4: when he was at Arizona State, I knew about him

87
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 4: kind of always known about him, and then just watching

88
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 4: his growth throughout his college journey, I was not shocked

89
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 4: at all with either where he was selected and ultimately

90
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 4: the type of rookie year he had. I think he's

91
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 4: you know, above the neck, smart, cerebral, totally in complete poise.

92
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,359
Speaker 4: It seems like every snap, regardless of whether it's a

93
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 4: playoff game last year or his first start going back.

94
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 2: To the beginning of last year, and so I'm expecting,

95
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:36,040
Speaker 2: even though he's been recovering here for a few weeks,

96
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 2: I'm expecting that same guy on Sunday US Bank Stadium,

97
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 2: which means you know they're going to be at full

98
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:44,720
Speaker 2: capacity and we got to be ready to play well,

99
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 2: not only on defense, but in.

100
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 3: All three phases.

101
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 1: For the second straight season, fullback CJ. Hamm was named

102
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 1: the Vikings Walter Peyton Manned the Year club winner. It's

103
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,719
Speaker 1: truly one of the most unique NFL journeys, from being

104
00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: a rookie tryout to practice squad, to start and captain

105
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,600
Speaker 1: and now he's about to finish out his tenth year

106
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:04,719
Speaker 1: in the league. I had the chance to sit down

107
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 1: with him this week as he reflects on this incredible honor,

108
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,280
Speaker 1: which recognizes his philanthropic efforts.

109
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 6: Well, CJ, I don't have to tell you this, but

110
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 6: you're coming up on a decade mark. When you hear that,

111
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 6: what goes through your mind?

112
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 3: I'm getting old, aren't we all? But not.

113
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 7: Secondly, it's really just gratitude, just thankful that I've been

114
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,839
Speaker 7: able to do what I love for ten seasons and

115
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 7: in my home state where I grew up watching this

116
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 7: team and being close to the family and friends, like

117
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 7: truly a lot of gratitude.

118
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,799
Speaker 6: The fact that your home state team is not only

119
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:41,600
Speaker 6: the only team that you've been on, I mean, that

120
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 6: has to be so big for you. How could you

121
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 6: put that into words?

122
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 7: It's it's it's really hard to put into words. I mean,

123
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:54,479
Speaker 7: like I said, just grateful, humble. It's a it's a

124
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 7: story that I that I would have ever thought of

125
00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 7: that I can't write. You know, I believe it's really

126
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,159
Speaker 7: a blessing from God that I've been able to be

127
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 7: here as long as I have and share these moments

128
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 7: with my family and friends. So it's a story that

129
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 7: I can't even write. And you know, I'm just continuing

130
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 7: to know walk walk in the store.

131
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 6: And for the second straight season, you are the Walter

138
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:29,640

00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 7: last year, and I really still can't put them in

00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 7: their kids, you know, making sure people had something to eat,

161
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 7: you know, clothes on their back. And so they just

162
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 7: taught me to live for something bigger than.

163
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 6: Myself, blessing, to be a blessing, something that your mom

164
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 6: Tina taught you.

165
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 9: To live by.

166
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 6: What do you think she would say to you about

167
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 6: winning this award for the second straight year.

168
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 7: I think she would be proud, but I really think

169
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 7: she would just say, keep you know, keep on, keep on,

170
00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 7: keeping off. You know, this is this is this is

171
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 7: what she has taught me, you know, through through our faith,

172
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 7: through you know, what she believes is that we are

173
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 7: blessed to be a blessing. There's always something that anyone

174
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 7: has in the world to give toody to somebody else.

175
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 7: You know, even our successes, our failures, they are all

176
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 7: to help somebody else. So you know, take it that

177
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 7: way and just continue to continue to be a blessing other.

178
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 1: After missing last week's game in Seattle while in concussion protocol,

179
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 1: quarterback JJ McCarthy's cleared all steps in return as a

180
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 1: full participant in practice this week. Head coach Kevin O'Connell

181
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 1: confirmed he's symptom free and on track to start Sunday

182
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 1: against Washington. This is a big moment for the second

183
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 1: year QB, who's endured a roller coaster season six starts,

184
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 1: six touchdowns, ten interceptions, and two separate injuries that have

185
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 1: kept him off the field. He spoke to the media

186
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 1: on Thursday about his outlook for Sunday and battling through adversity.

187
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 5: A lot of the mentality has changed, for sure. You know,

188
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 5: I was just so focused on doing every rep perfect

189
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 5: and making sure, you know, every little detail was crossed

190
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 5: and checked off. And you know, I feel like coach

191
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 5: O'Connell and coach McCown them talking to me about Hey, like,

192
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 5: let's worry about that stuff in the offseason. Go out there,

193
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 5: play your ball, just you know, execute the play at

194
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 5: the end of the day. And you know that just

195
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:15,959
Speaker 5: frees up a lot of space mentally to be in

196
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 5: sinctual react and you know, respond to what the defense

197
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:19,560
Speaker 5: has given me.

198
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,199
Speaker 3: And yeah, very excited to play well. Thinking is that

199
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 3: you're seeing sometimes? Is that what happens.

200
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 5: I'm definitely a natural overthinker, So you know the way,

201
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 5: and it's not against them. I need to do a

202
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 5: better job of compartmentalizing those coaching points and realizing when

203
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 5: it's game time it's time to let it loose and

204
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 5: not focus.

205
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 3: On that couch. Justin Jefferson, be like with you this week.

206
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 3: In the last couple of weeks, now.

207
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 5: I can't say enough about you know, him and the

208
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 5: entire team in general, but specifically him. You know, you

209
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 5: see so many receivers around the league just kind of

210
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:51,960
Speaker 5: be a me guy, and he's not a me guy. Obviously,

211
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,559
Speaker 5: it's frustrating, obviously he's the greatest in the world and.

212
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 3: Going through tough times.

213
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 5: But the way he's responded, the way he's acted towards me,

214
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:01,680
Speaker 5: and just the how he wears that seat on his chest,

215
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 5: it's something amazing and that just you know, amplifies his

216
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 5: ability as a player.

217
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 3: For sure.

218
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 5: What extent do you think you need to show these

219
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:12,080
Speaker 5: guys that you know or prove anything to these guys

220
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 5: as they kind of go into the offseason and make

221
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 5: decisions about next year.

222
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 3: Of these last five games.

223
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:20,719
Speaker 5: I feel like the number one quality for a quarterback,

224
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 5: for a franchise quarterback is you know, protecting the football

225
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 5: and making sure we win football games. So that's what

226
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 5: it comes down to, you know, just trying to simplify

227
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 5: things and understand that it's about executing players, but it's

228
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 5: also about the main thing winning games, and doing that

229
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 5: is protecting football.

230
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 3: For surely, like.

231
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 5: A libality aspect of its coaching Sunday where.

232
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 3: It's just like we'll do what I've done mys for sure.

233
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, And it's not like I'm totally disregarding all the

234
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 5: coaching points and all that and definitely not. But it's

235
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 5: just you know, picking and choosing which ones you carry

236
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 5: into you into game day with and you know what's

237
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 5: going to be the most effective way of completing that

238
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 5: player working on a.

239
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 9: New coach, how long does that typically take them to

240
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 9: learn about you in terms of that you are a

241
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:03,560
Speaker 9: thinker in the right ways to kind of coach you

242
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 9: and say things that are going to help you.

243
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:07,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's tough because I feel like, you know, my

244
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 5: fiance and I we've been together for seven years and.

245
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 3: We're still learning things about each other.

246
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,200
Speaker 5: And uh, you know, it's just amazing to you know,

247
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 5: be with such an open minded group, such an empathetic

248

Speaker 5: group that's always trying to get, you know, the best

249
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 5: out of what you can bring to the table instead

250
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 5: of trying to mold you into what they want. So,

276
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,440
Speaker 1: make sure it stays that way. Despite coming off a

277
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 1: career low four yard outing in Seattle, Jefferson leads the

278
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 1: team with sixty two catches for seven hundred and ninety

279
00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 1: nine yards, yet he scored just two touchdowns. I'll see,

280
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 1: he's been vocal about wanting to win, and head coach

281
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 1: Kevin O'Connell and really every player on the team maintains

282
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 1: Jefferson's energy and leadership remain intact despite the struggles. He

283
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 1: spoke this week about this frustrating time and how they

284
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:15,559
Speaker 1: plan on turning the page Sunday.

285
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 4: I mean it's tough, you know, obviously it's frustrating to

286
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 4: have the losses and to go through what we feel

287
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 4: is the same same, you know, difficulties that we're facing.

288
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,319
Speaker 4: So I mean, it's just the energy has still got

289
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 4: to be there, Uh, the focus still got to be there.

290
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:36,560
Speaker 4: You know, all of those things that we've been doing

291
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 4: the whole entire season still has to be there.

292
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 3: You know, the season isn't over.

293
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 4: The you know, we still have five games left and

294
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 4: I will never you know, sit there and give up

295
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 4: on this team and just quit, So, uh, the preparation

296
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 4: still has to be the same throughout the entire season.

297
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 10: We didn't get a chance to talk to Sunday. Just

298
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 10: where was your head up coming out of that line?

299
00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:00,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, just frustrating on the on the game, coming out

300
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 4: with zero points is never something that I'm satisfied with.

301
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,680
Speaker 4: We lost, you know, and obviously I just feel like

302
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 4: it's the same thing.

303
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:12,160

Speaker 4: There telling y'all guys the same exact you know thing

305
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,959
Speaker 4: that that I've said for the past couple of weeks. Uh,

306
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 4: you know, the offense needs to get better, and you know,

307
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 4: we need to focus up and execute and all of

308
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 4: the things that we've been saying the whole season. So

309

315
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 10: what have you found is the value in that side

316
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 10: of leadership in addition to like leading by action.

317
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 4: Uh, yeah, you know, just over the years, you know,

318
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 4: doing what I have done. I feel like a lot

319
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 4: of people look at me as you know, one of

320
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 4: the faces of this franchise and one of the you

321
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 4: know leaders of this team.

322
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 3: So uh, you know, leading.

323
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 4: By example this one thing, but going out there and

324
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 4: being vocal and you know, telling the guys what's on

325
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 4: my mind and telling the guys what I expect from

326
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 4: from the offense, from the team. It goes even longer

327
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 4: than you know, just you know, staying quiet and just

328
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 4: doing what I'm supposed to do. So it's just you know,

329
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 4: a long time coming from you know, being a shy

330
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 4: kid into now turning around being a vocal leader and

331
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 4: being one of the faces of this of this team.

332
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 1: Tight End TJ. Hockinson is coming off his best stat

333
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 1: line of the season. His six catch fifty nine yard

334
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 1: performance was one of the few bright spots against the Seahawks.

335
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 1: As a seven year NFL veteran, Hawkinson understands what it

336
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 1: takes to get through times of adversity. He spoke with

337
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 1: a podium on Wednesday about the team's commitment to improving

338
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 1: and how leaders have been stepping up this week to

339
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 1: write the ship.

340
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 5: How tough is it on a player to go from

341
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 5: where you guys were last year in a playoff position

342
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 5: to just trying to stay afloat this season.

343
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 9: I think that's the nature of the NFL. Every year

344
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 9: is different, every team is different. You know, every game

345
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 9: is you know, every everybody can beat anybody on any

346
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 9: given moment and maybe any given Sunday, and I unfortunately

347
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 9: the ball hasn't bounced our way in a few games

348
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 9: that we've needed. And you know, but that's the nature

349
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 9: of this league. It will humble you fast, and you

350
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 9: know you gotta continue working. You've got to continue to push.

351
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 3: On and move forward.

352
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 9: But yeah, this this league is is not for the weary.

353
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 9: You know, you've gotta you got to stay in it

354
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 9: every single day.

355
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 3: You know, you can't.

356
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 9: You can't get complacent in this league. And you know

357
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 9: it just you know it. It reminds you of that

358
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 9: a lot.

359
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 11: So just when it comes to the you guys talk

360
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 11: lomb up culture that you guys have created, I mean,

361
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 11: I guess how much do you lean on that when

362
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 11: things get as difficult as.

363
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 3: They are right now. You have to lean on it.

364
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 3: You got to lean on these guys in the huddle.

365
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 9: You got to lean on these guys in the locker room.

366
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 9: You know, we we've got the ultimate group of competitors here.

367
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 9: And nobody likes what has happened. No, I mean, I'm

368
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 9: not gonna sit here and say it's been rosy or

369
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 9: anything like that. It's not fun to lose games in

370
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 9: this league. And but you know, we have built a

371
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:19,440
Speaker 9: culture here that we think is the lasting culture.

372
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 3: And that's what.

373
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:24,680
Speaker 9: We're going to continue to build and continue to lean

374
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:28,440
Speaker 9: on when things get tough and and just move forward.

375
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:31,120
Speaker 9: And that's that's what we're doing. We came out here,

376
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 9: we had a great practice, Guys were flying around, and

377
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 9: you know, you don't always see that on teams like

378
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 9: this where you know you're not winning games, been on

379
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:42,640
Speaker 9: teams where you don't win games, and guys come out

380
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 9: here and they run half speed. But that's not this team,

381
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 9: that's not this culture, and and that's that's all we're

382
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 9: That's all we can control at the end of the day,

383
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:55,399
Speaker 9: is how hard we work and how you know, how

384
00:17:55,800 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 9: you take your mental to practice every single day, so

385
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:01,200
Speaker 9: you can control.

386
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:03,959
Speaker 12: Yeah, when you talk about guys coming out here and

387
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 12: still giving it, they're all not going half speed.

388
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:08,879
Speaker 11: Is that something that is discussed by leadership or is

389
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 11: that disinherent by the culture you do.

390
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:15,679
Speaker 9: I think that's a lot of the guys here, you know.

391
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 9: I mean, I think that's the locker room that we build.

392
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:22,439
Speaker 9: I think obviously you preach it from from KO to

393
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 9: everybody the top like the top of our building. But

394
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 9: you know that that doesn't always trickle down to the players.

395
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 3: And that's the culture that you build.

396
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 9: Is Hey, it doesn't matter what what's going on outside

397
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 9: of here. It matters what we do today and what

398
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 9: we do on this crash. And it's a blessing to

399
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 9: be able to be in between these white lines every

400
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 9: single day.

401
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 3: And you can't take that for granted. And you know.

402
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,880
Speaker 9: We all have goals, we all have things that we

403
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:55,440
Speaker 9: want to do, and it starts with a the culture

404
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 9: that you build. But then the hard work that you

405
00:18:57,600 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 9: put in in between these white lines. I think that's

406
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 9: what everybody is trying to do. She'll see you guys

407
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 9: out here working their craft and doing everything no matter

408
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:06,679
Speaker 9: what's going on.

409
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 1: That defense has been stout despite the losing streak. Brian

410
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:15,919
Speaker 1: Flores's group enters week fourteen ranked tenth overall, fifth against

411
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:19,399
Speaker 1: the pass and eighteenth in scoring defense, even while dealing

412
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 1: with short fields and constant pressure from turnovers. They've been aggressive,

413
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:27,880
Speaker 1: blitz heavy, and resilient. The Commanders bring the NFL's third

414
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 1: ranked rushing attack, averaging nearly one hundred and thirty nine

415
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:34,880
Speaker 1: yards per game, so this matchup will test Minnesota's run defense.

416
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:38,439
Speaker 1: Expect names like Dallas Turner, who leaves the team with

417
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 1: five and a half sacks, and Jonathan Gernard back from injury,

418
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:43,679
Speaker 1: to play a huge role in setting the edge and

419
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 1: creating that chaos. Safety Josh Mattelis and veteran Harrison Smith

420
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:51,440
Speaker 1: will be key in disguising coverages against Marcus Mariota or

421
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 1: Jaden Daniels if he returns. Speaking of Mattellus, he spoke

422
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 1: on Wednesday during open locker room about staying the course,

423
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:00,199
Speaker 1: remembering the why behind playing the game.

424
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:04,160
Speaker 3: Yeah. Every every week, you know, we're gonna do our part.

425
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 12: We're gonna control we can control, and that's given this

426
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:10,160
Speaker 12: football football team a chance to win. We don't really,

427
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 12: you know, care too much of what's going on anywhere else.

428
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 12: You know, all we can control is what we put

429
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,360
Speaker 12: out on tape. And that's been a mindset all year.

430
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 12: And it's gonna be a mindset moving forward as well.

431
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 3: That's time as if prepared maybe for two quarterbacks.

432
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:23,160
Speaker 8: Are saying that JUNI games, you guys with the team

433
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:26,200
Speaker 8: of Marcus definitely for quarterbacks, how do you kind of

434
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 8: spend your practice time between now and then?

435
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:29,120
Speaker 3: They're bringing from maybe both.

436
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean when you look at the way their

437
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 12: team was built, they kind of knew, you know, Jayden

438
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 12: Daniels obviously the year he had rookie year, and coming

439
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:37,840
Speaker 12: into the off season bringing into Mariota, trying to like,

440
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:39,720
Speaker 12: you have a guy in that the offense can.

441
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 3: Still flow away. It's supposed to flow.

442
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,880
Speaker 12: When Jayden isn't in there, I mean, obviously you don't

443
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,399
Speaker 12: want anybody to get hurt, and uh, he had an injury.

444
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 12: So when Mariota's been there, it's been pretty much the

445
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:53,359
Speaker 12: same offense. I'm obviously different kind of players different points

446
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 12: in their careers, but it's pretty much the same thing.

447
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 3: We're gonna prepare the same way regardless. You know, we

448
00:20:58,440 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 3: play a specific kind of defense.

449
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 12: We see a lot of the same things throughout the

450
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:05,200
Speaker 12: week to week basis anyway, So I don't think it's

451
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 12: really that hard.

452
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 3: We thinks standing right now.

453
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 8: How much do you have to lean on pride and

454
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,119
Speaker 8: professionalism to get out there and try to get their

455
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 8: way on Sunday?

456
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 12: I mean I think, uh, when you just you just

457
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 12: talk about the reason we play and the why, man,

458
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:21,400
Speaker 12: it's not hard. And you know you go out there

459
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 12: for reasons bigger than the money, the fame, the you know,

460
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 12: I can I can speak for myself, you know, I

461
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 12: can't speak for too many other people, but I know

462
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:31,680
Speaker 12: we got a lot of the same guys through the

463
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 12: same mindset on the scene, and uh, we're playing for

464
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 12: pride every week we go out there. You know, anytime

465
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 12: you get a chance to go out there with your

466
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:40,359
Speaker 12: last name on your jersey, you're gonna play with some pride. So, uh,

467
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 12: you know that that's what we're banking on right now.

468
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:44,639
Speaker 12: You know, for everybody to go out there and just
