00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 2: Carson Wentz will undergo season ending surgery on his left

6
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:28,640
Speaker 2: shoulder that is apparently now official. He'll go on ir

7
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 2: and so his season, maybe his career as a Minnesota Viking.

8
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:37,280
Speaker 1: Is over.

9
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:43,479
Speaker 2: Kyle Fromisanti writes after the game presser, Koc thanked Wentz

10
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 2: for weathering the storm that wasn't a storm, that was

11
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 2: a five, that was a Category five hurricane he was

12
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 2: asked to weather, one could say, right, and he ain't blameless.

13
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 2: I get that he was not perfect any stretch of

14
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 2: the imagination, but it will be I think it's going

15
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:09,399
Speaker 2: to stand up as one of the great mysteries of

16
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 2: Koc's run, no matter how long that run is in Minnesota,

17
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 2: that he did not pull him from that game. Again,

18
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 2: that's the sort of thing where if Mike Zimmer doesn't

19
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 2: be like God, that's cruel.

20
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:25,319
Speaker 1: What's that I mean? Does he does he have a

21
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: heart that So there's a piece of this that's got

22
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 1: to be explained. To me.

23
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 2: Maybe Seaffert will be able to tell me. I'm not sure.

24
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:37,680
Speaker 2: Maybe liber It still doesn't make hell of a lot

25
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,959
Speaker 2: of sense. Here's my question. You can't go with two quarterbacks.

26
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 2: I know you want your guy to start, right, so

27
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 2: do we Is there a quarterback? I'm forgetting that we

28
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 2: still had on on our taxi squad that we can

29
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 2: move up or are we going to be in the

30
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 2: We got to add another body, don't we don't you

31
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 2: have to have three in the building.

32
00:01:56,480 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 1: They must already have that, because they bo my forgetting. Well,

33
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: what wasn't there? Wasn't there a Desmond Ridder? Do we

34
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 1: still have him? I don't know him. I've lost touch.

35
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna look, I'm gonna look it up here quickly.

36
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 1: But they brought in they're signing a tight end. I

37
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 1: saw that. Yeah, that roster spot is going to to

38
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 1: a tight end. You're right.

39
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 2: So, by the way, it was tight end day on Sunday.

40
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,079
Speaker 1: And how about the Packers tight end? Did he celebrate

41
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,919
Speaker 1: or what he was a beast last night? It is unbelievable.

42
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 1: We're already three games behind the Packers and the lost column.

43
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 1: By the way, Yeah, the Packers, we're three and four,

44
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,399
Speaker 1: and we got to go to avoid being three and five.

45
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 1: We got to go to Detroit and win.

46
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 2: And by the way, by the time we played Baltimore,

47
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 2: is that the next week Lamar is going to be back.

48
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 1: In fact, the rumor is Lamar will probably I think

49
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: they play Thursday this week, that he may be back then.

50
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,359
Speaker 1: And you know the other rumor, despite the.

51
00:02:58,320 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 2: Fact they went into that game, I think one in

52
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 2: five they were convinced that they could win the game

53
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 2: against the Bears without Lamar Jacks And you know what,

54
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,919
Speaker 2: they're right, thirty to sixteen Hutley, I mean, and you

55
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 2: know for all the people, oh he could, It's hard

56
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:17,639
Speaker 2: to win with a backup quarterback.

57
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 1: Huntley was the third string quarterback. They didn't even go

58
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:23,799
Speaker 1: to him originally as the backup. They went to the

59
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 1: guy who beat us. The guy used to be in

60
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 1: Dallas was their backup. Wasn't until this week that they

61
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: went with Hutley, and he was. He looked brilliant against

62
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,959
Speaker 1: the Bears. So don't tell me you can never win

63
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 1: a game with a backup quarterback. They won with a

64
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 1: third stringer.

65
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 2: So keep that in mind for the future. But now

66
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 2: it doesn't matter. And now it's JJ McCarthy's on the clock.

67
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 2: Now it's his baby, and there's gonna be a lot

68
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 2: of pressure on him from the beginning.

69
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 1: By the way, his ankle looked pretty good when he

70
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: had to hop one of them teammates. Yeah, sure, everybody said,

71
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: everybody was he that was like a fifteen inch vertic

72
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 1: gold just out of nowhere. He just hopped over. You

73
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 1: think he's been playing possible. Well, he looks. I'm saying,

74
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 1: he looks pretty good. He didn't look like he landed

75
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 1: funny or he had any residuals from that jump. It

76
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: looks quick, nice explosiveness. And then he just stood there,

77
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:18,479
Speaker 1: looks pretty looks ready to go. Heard a lot about

78
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 1: his lower body base, you know, the last few weeks

79
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 1: his lower body base seemed fine. Base balance and bros.

80
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 2: That's what happens when you got to fill in the

81
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 2: you know, and you can't talk about him playing. You

82
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 2: got to make stuff up and and fill in and

83
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 2: all these other other areas.

84
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 1: Who starts tonight do we know is in place of

85
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:44,599
Speaker 1: Anthony Edwards? It's a good question. It's Denver, right, Denver

86
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:49,159
Speaker 1: is a problem. I really believe. I like their.

87
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 2: Offseason Actually, I think I think they're a better team

88
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 2: than they were here. I think they have better support

89
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 2: help for him than they did a year ago.

90
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 1: I really do. They had a hillacious game with Golden

91
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 1: State that was a fun game. Stephan went nuts, scored

92
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,720
Speaker 1: like the last thirty. I'm trying to think, do they

93
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:09,599
Speaker 1: go Do they go with Clark? Do they go with Shannon? Yeah?

94
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: One of those two, don't you think? Yeah, Well, you

95
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 1: know I ain't gonna be doing him. No, it's not

96
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: gonna be dilling Ham for sure. Am I forgetting somebody?

97
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 1: It's got to be one of the young kids, Tyland. Yeah,

98
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 1: but he's the point guard. Yeah, So if you're starting

99
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,839
Speaker 1: Dante at the point, I think it's got to be

100
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 1: Clark or Shannon. Could be Shannon, that would be my

101
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:35,039
Speaker 1: guess who are we forgetting? I mean, it's obviously they're

102
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 1: gonna sender the offense more around Randall than they have.

103
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 3: Uh.

104
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 1: And he had what he was over thirty last night?

105
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:42,159
Speaker 1: Was he was good? Yeah? He had had a nice

106
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:43,600
Speaker 1: ball game. All Right.

107
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:45,280
Speaker 2: I got to go for a question for you because

108
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 2: I think this is the biggest disappointment for me regarding

109
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 2: the Iowa game. And then we'll mix and match, and

110
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 2: as I mentioned, Ben Leeber is going to join. Later

111
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 2: we get his reaction to the Wentz news out now

112
00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 2: for the season, preparing for shoulder surgery, and then Johnny

113
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:02,679
Speaker 2: Athletic will file a live report.

114
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 1: He'll be at Target Center by then onenty five to thirty.

115
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 1: Probably it's a home game, isn't he? Yes, eight thirty tips.

116
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 1: We got the Lakers? Is it Wednesday? Wednesday? Another eight

117
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 1: thirty tip? No Lebron, no Luca, no skinny Luca. But

118
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 1: the best third option in the NBA. Austin Reeve won

119
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 1: fifty one last night, fifty one undrafted. Yeah, he's been good.

120
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 1: He was good the other night against us. He killed

121
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 1: us too. Yeah, not for I mean, Luca was the

122
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: story that night. But helps. They call him the Hillbilly Koby,

123
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,839
Speaker 1: which sounds a little bit, you know, suspicious to me,

124
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 1: but you know he can do the stereotyping if that's

125
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 1: his nicknames, yea, okay, the Hillbilly Kobe. Okay. I mean

126
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 1: I think.

127
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 2: There's like, well, that's another one, but that's kind of

128
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:43,159
Speaker 2: falling out of face.

129
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 1: Can't do that one either.

130
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 2: I think in the history of the league there have

131
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 2: been is it three or four player undrafted players to

132
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 2: ever score fifty or more.

133
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:54,039
Speaker 1: He's not one of them.

134
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 3: Yeah.

135
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 1: I think he was like twenty one for twenty two. Yeah,

136
00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: he can get going. Yeah, all right, let's stay on schedule.

137
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: If somebody else and two men and a junk truck

138
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 1: want to give you a shot to win Bonus Bucks,

139
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 1: it is our national cast contest. Second keyword of the

140
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 1: afternoon is check. Go to cafe and dot com and

141
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 1: enter the keyword check.

142
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 3: Play.

143
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 1: Ryan wants to know whether the Wolves game will be

144
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 1: exclusively on Peacock tonight or also on FanDuel Sports Network.

145
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 2: Do you know the answer to that question? I don't

146
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 2: think I do. I don't, but I'll double check it.

147
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 2: We'll find out check.

148
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: But I'm pretty sure it's just on Peacock, but you

149
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 1: might be right as well. Was Fridays just on Amazon

150
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 1: or was that on FanDuel as well? Because I watched

151
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 1: the question. I watched it on Amazon, so I don't know.

152
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 2: I did, And it's it's so much harder to go

153
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 2: back and forth between you know, dish stuff and that.

154
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 2: So I don't have the answer to that question either,

155
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 2: But we'll try to get to the bottom.

156
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 1: Of exactly that. Yeah, it's hard to keep up, right,

157
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 1: you got it. You do have to pay attention these days.

158
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 1: You have a lot of options, There's no question about that.

159
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 1: Here's my but this is Jack ad Jason from Egan.

160
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 1: Caleb got ripped for the same behavior last Year's what

161
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 1: Herb Street. I don't share Gg's affection for that guy

162
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 1: ripped Wentz for. Well in this case, you were not

163
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: agreeing with herb Street. That was your point. R right, Yeah,

164
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 1: you were saying I thought ridiculous, Yeah, yeah, yeah Caleb, Well, yeah,

165
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:40,320
Speaker 1: Caleb did get ripped for some of that. With Caleb,

166
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 1: it it seemed like it happened whether he was injured

167
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: or not, or whether he was just frustrated and then

168
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 1: was on the bench, you know, like laying down things

169
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,200
Speaker 1: like that, which is never a helpful. Look.

170
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 2: I don't know that's the difference between being good and bad,

171
00:08:55,120 --> 00:09:00,199
Speaker 2: but I don't know that it's necessarily helpful. But again

172
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 2: to your point, I don't want to be labored. But

173
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 2: it almost feels to me like the Vikings agreed with

174
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 2: Herbstreet because I otherwise it doesn't make any sense that

175
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 2: you don't pull a guy who's in that much agony

176
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 2: unless you're convinced that it's not that he's just he's

177
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 2: kind of milking a little bit. But it's hard to

178
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 2: accuse a man of milking it when this he's now

179
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 2: going to undergo surgery on said shoulder. That would indicate

180
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 2: some structural issues, would it not?

181
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 1: It would? I know people want to hammer him, and

182
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 1: I'm not here to.

183
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 2: Tell you he's looked like an MVP candidate, but I

184
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 2: I lawed his ability to hang in man, I do,

185
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 2: and I still think he's not. He wasn't as bad

186
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:48,079
Speaker 2: as the mc bobos want to believe, given the position

187
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 2: he walked into.

188
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 1: He came in was it three days before the season? Yeah,

189
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: I have nothing but respect. So Carson, he is who

190
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 1: he is, and he is who he is. Yeah, it's

191
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 1: exactly you shouldn't be expecting for good that's been on.

192
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 1: He's he's got a record for starting six games for

193
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 1: six different teams in six straight seasons, right, or a

194
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 1: game for six different teams in six seasons. Yes, like

195
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 1: there's a reason because he's not great. No, he's not,

196
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 1: but he's functional and he's he answered the call and

197
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 1: he played and well, he was obviously very tough I've

198
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 1: got There's no Wentz slander for me.

199
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 2: There is so much else going on with this team

200
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 2: beyond the quarterback position, and if you can't figure that

201
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 2: out after that last.

202
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 1: Game, then you're delusional. I mean we laid out some

203
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 1: of it.

204
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 2: I mean we we've given up over twenty of yards

205
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:41,440
Speaker 2: rushing twice. We give up major rushing to good runners,

206
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:45,679
Speaker 2: great runners and third and fourth string runners.

207
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 1: Doesn't seem to matter.

208
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:52,959
Speaker 2: We're getting gashed on pass defense whenever the quarterback is

209
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 2: pretty good or very good. We've still got these bizar

210
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,679
Speaker 2: well I say bizarre are just untimely penalties in the

211
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 2: special teams game and a couple other places that hurt.

212
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 2: We do not have solid defensive line play. We do

213
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 2: not have solid offensive line play. Not all of that

214
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 2: can be about injury because the defensive line isn't that

215
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:20,440
Speaker 2: hurt offensive line. Yeah, that's certainly part of it. And

216
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 2: I also think that the head coach is not stuck

217
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 2: to what who had the stat today? Was it your

218
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 2: guy alec Lewis? See if I can find it here

219
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 2: on the fly? I think I saved it.

220
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 1: Because I thought it was It's not at the top

221
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,319
Speaker 1: of the list of problems, But it does I think

222
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 1: reflect one vikings in second and two or fewer, or

223
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:51,959
Speaker 1: third and two or fewer since twenty twenty two. You

224
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 1: want to guess our pass rate since twenty twenty two,

225
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 1: pass rate on second and two or fewer, third and

226
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,079
Speaker 1: two or few I'm gonna say seventy. No, No, it's

227
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 1: not quite that bad. It's fifty one point two, but

228
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,079
Speaker 1: that is the highest in the league in that period.

229
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 1: Run rate forty eight point eight lowest in the NFL.

230
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:14,559
Speaker 2: Did you see the game success rate fifty five point

231
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 2: seven percent, also lowest in the National Football League.

232
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:22,960
Speaker 1: So we're not making this stuff up. And I added

233
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 1: to the list.

234
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 2: It's I think what I said Friday, and I think

235
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 2: I heard you use the same term with the Gophers

236
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 2: because they both apply. Both those games were total It's

237
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 2: the poll ad quote. Both those games were total system

238
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 2: failures completely. I mean, it wasn't about any one thing.

239
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:40,560
Speaker 2: That's what made it so disturbing. You can't micro manage

240
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 2: that one.

241
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 1: No, everything just peacock tonight, by the way, it is

242
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 1: the peack Okay, exactly.

243
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 2: Here's what disappointed me about the Iowa game. We've talked

244
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 2: about this before. The Gophers are never going to be

245
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 2: the Vikings in this town, right, It's just not going

246
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 2: to work that way. That's not there. That's not about results.

247
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:06,560
Speaker 2: That's just about the pecking order. But there have been

248
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 2: in several seasons opportunities to say, for maybe the casual

249
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:13,440
Speaker 2: football fan of.

250
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 1: Going, huh, wait a minute, this feels a little different.

251
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 2: It feels like something difference going on right now. You

252
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,840
Speaker 2: could say, to a certain extent, the Govers already blew

253
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 2: that by losing to cal and even the way they

254
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 2: played against Purdue, even though they came back and won.

255
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 2: But then you have such a total system success against Nebraska.

256
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 2: I think it opened the door to huh, this season

257
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 2: has you gotta You've opened the door a little bit

258
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 2: to what might be something really worth paying attention to.

259
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 2: And by the way, at the same time, the Vikings

260
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 2: seem to be going in the wrong direction, so you

261
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:52,679
Speaker 2: even have a chance to maybe gain a little leverage

262
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 2: there too. And then you play as poorly as they

263
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 2: did in that game, as non competitively as they did

264
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 2: in that game, You played it. Every stereotype about the

265
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:07,560
Speaker 2: Iowa Gopher rivalry going back forever, right, thirty years, forty years,

266
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 2: fifty years, whatever the case may be. And to me,

267
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 2: it's at that point you go, again, this is gonna

268
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 2: be another cute season. They're gonna win more games than

269
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,439
Speaker 2: they lose. They could still win eight, right, they still

270
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 2: have a chance to win eight games. But the window,

271
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 2: the opportunity that you created by a really good performance

272
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 2: against Nebraska, I don't even think it called for the

273
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 2: that you had to win the Iowa game, but obviously

274
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 2: that would have been the home run. But you had

275
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 2: to at least make it a ball game, right, you

276
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 2: had to make it.

277
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 1: A ball game.

278
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 2: And now that you haven't, now, I just I think

279
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 2: people are done. They're gonna tune out. The casual fan

280
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 2: is out again. A yeah, I'll see what. I'll give

281
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 2: it this Saturday.

282
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 1: What they do.

283
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 2: They got Michigan State this week. Michigan State, I think

284
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 2: is winless in the Big Ten. So that's obviously a

285
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 2: game they can win, they probably should win. But what

286
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 2: do we got left? We got to go to Oregon? Right,

287
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 2: we got Wisconsin, which obviously is very winnable. Whom I forgetting Northwestern?

288
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 1: So I just think that's and in several years there

289
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 1: have been that those games where it looks encouraging, but

290
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 1: it doesn't get sustained to a place where you go, oh,

291
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 1: they're moving up one level. The one level is gone

292
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 1: again this year as far as screensory, that to me

293
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 1: was that it had to be. The disappointing part for

294
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 1: them is we didn't They didn't show. They did not show.

295
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 2: They showed less even than the Viking showed up against

296
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 2: the Chargers in LA.

297
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 1: Two days before. About sixty percent of what you just

298
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 1: said is essentially what I said in the car ride

299
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 1: home from Iowa with my family, because I thought the

300
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 1: same thing after Thursday night. If the Gophers go and

301
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 1: beat Iowa, people are going to pay attention because you know,

302
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 1: they always have their fans, right, Yeah, they always have

303
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 1: their students, and they always have the people that go correct.

304
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 1: But there is We've talked about it with all the

305
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:01,119
Speaker 1: sports in this town. If the Vikan give you an opportunity,

306
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 1: people will flock and go and go check some things out.

307
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 1: And I think the Nebraska game got some people's attentions

308
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 1: more than more than they had been paying attention to

309
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 1: so far this season, and so it was completely deflating

310
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 1: when within so I was excited about the game, so

311
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 1: excited to see how they were going to play against

312
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 1: Iowa Iowa. As good as they played the other day

313
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 1: and as well as they played last week against Penn State,

314
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 1: there were still I think some questions about them. Now

315
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 1: people are talking about them being in the playoffs potentially

316
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 1: if they beat Oregon in two weeks and that games

317
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 1: in Iowa City. It is correct, they have a bye

318
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 1: and then Oregon comes to town, so that that's going

319
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 1: to be probably the game of the week that week

320
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 1: in the Big Ten. I'll watch that game. That game

321
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 1: will interest me, it'll interest most of the country. It should.

322
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 1: We kind of curious to see can they can they

323
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 1: carry it through? And so that's where I was fired

324
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 1: up about what that game was going to look like

325
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 1: and what it could potentially mean. Again, not that you

326
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 1: have to win that is the home run, but let's

327
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 1: see it. Let's go down there and see what happens.

328
00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 1: I was excited to see how Drake Lindsay was going

329
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 1: to play it, because he's good now. It was his

330
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:04,119
Speaker 1: worst game obviously by far, and that's the that's the

331
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 1: disappointing part is because there is the reality that you

332
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 1: have these little moments as the years go on to

333
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 1: really kind of get other people's attention and show that

334
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 1: it's going to be something different. And they within fifteen

335
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:21,920
Speaker 1: minutes of the game, it was over in every every

336
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 1: way possible. And now it's we've talked about this before,

337
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:29,360
Speaker 1: you got to go beat Oregon, which is obviously, you know, unlikely, difficult.

338
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:34,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, and so that's the tough part. So I don't

339
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 2: think I hallucinated this. Did I not see in the

340
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 2: goer Iowa game? Iowa throw the ball downfield on a

341
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 2: second and two. Speaking of second and two's you know

342
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 2: we're talking about Ben, we're talking about with the with

343
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 2: the Vikings, it's we we we we refuse to run

344
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 2: on second and two. Iowa, you look as the exact

345
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 2: opposite extreme. They refuse to pass the ball on second

346
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 2: and two. And to me, that's the other thing. Where

347
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:01,159
Speaker 2: as much as I thought PG and Company looked like

348
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:04,679
Speaker 2: they'd out coached Rule and company, they looked out coached

349
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:07,399
Speaker 2: against Iowa. They looked like they had a better plan.

350
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:11,879
Speaker 2: Their plan wasn't just at the quarterback run all of

351
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 2: the time. He obviously ran some, but it was also

352
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 2: we're gonna, we're gonna, we got a few throws. We

353
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:20,160
Speaker 2: think we can make at least early in the game

354
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:23,399
Speaker 2: that they did, and that was the stunner to me.

355
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 2: And now I'm not expecting them to become air Coriel obviously,

356
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 2: but no. And then but then, let's face the second half,

357
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 2: they weren't going to throw it all because they're just

358
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:32,440
Speaker 2: they want to end the game, right, they just they

359
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 2: want to get out of Dodge.

360
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 1: With the victory. Well, it was frustrating is they actually

361
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 1: did throw it a little bit and the quarterback couldn't

362
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 1: complete the passes. That's where it was also annoying because

363
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 1: he obviously made some passes in their first dyes. And

364
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 1: then you watch him because he hasn't been a good

365
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:48,399
Speaker 1: passer all season, and you go, that's the guy you

366
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:51,119
Speaker 1: were kind of expecting to see, right, and for whatever

367
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,679
Speaker 1: the reason, they didn't see him. And the stat I

368
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:56,879
Speaker 1: used on the Sunday Show yesterday was since Kirk Ferns

369
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 1: kind of got it going in his third season, he's

370
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 1: twenty in five against Minnesota, He's twenty seven all time.

371
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:04,639
Speaker 1: He lost his first two to Mace. Think about that,

372
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,680
Speaker 1: twenty and five and he's just owned them no matter

373
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,360
Speaker 1: who the coach was. And that and sometimes you think

374
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:12,159
Speaker 1: I've been down there when you think the Gophers are

375
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:14,360
Speaker 1: gonna win twenty nineteen. I've been down when they hate

376
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 1: their coordinator. That's like every other year when they want

377
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 1: a fire Kirk and like none of it has mattered

378
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:21,119
Speaker 1: in this matchup. He's because we spent all that time

379
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 1: about Wisconsin. Yeah, and now they've kind of flipped that one,

380
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 1: but the Iowa one for twenty five years has been

381
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 1: extremely one sided. Time Now for the Vikings Report on

Speaker 1: would love to see a Sunday Gray's Food Hall in

391
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 1: Minnie Less.

392
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:11,959
Speaker 2: Christian darisaw today, I came back way earlier than anyone

393
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 2: had projected for me. I played in more games than

394
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:17,159
Speaker 2: I thought I would be at already, So it's just

395
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,400
Speaker 2: a part of the rehab. Twelve months is what they

396
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 2: told me, crushed the rehab process and was able to

397
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 2: play week three. Regarding this week, he says his knee

398
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:31,920
Speaker 2: is feeling pretty good. See how it progresses as the

399
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:38,120
Speaker 2: week goes on. I'm not here to debate and disagree

400
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:41,959
Speaker 2: with Christian Darisaw about being ahead of schedule and crushing it.

401
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:45,159
Speaker 2: But then I'll go back to what I've said at

402
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:49,400
Speaker 2: least once before. The Vikings then have done a very

403
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:55,239
Speaker 2: bad job of managing expectations in this case, right, And

404
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,680
Speaker 2: I you know, it's it's not an it's a challenge

405
00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:00,120
Speaker 2: to know how to publicly.

406
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 1: Shape this, I guess.

407
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 2: But we've talked to several of the reporters who are

408
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 2: around this team, and there was never really I mean,

409
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 2: we just kept being told he's right on schedule and

410
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 2: everything's going good, and the implication was he'll pretty much

411
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:21,960
Speaker 2: be ready for the start of the regular season.

412
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:22,440
Speaker 1: Right.

413
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:24,399
Speaker 2: I don't know if those words were ever used, But

414
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:28,920
Speaker 2: being the you know, the league being set up the

415
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:34,360
Speaker 2: way it is, attention being what it isn't isn't there

416
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 2: a way an artful way for whether it's O'Connell, whether

417
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 2: it's a general manager or the position whatever. Somebody say Hey, look,

418
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 2: we're very, very pleased with where Christian is here, but

419
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 2: let's remember when this injury took place and how long

420
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:54,239
Speaker 2: these injuries are supposed to take. So we're going in

421
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 2: with our eyes open. The more Christian we get, the better,

422
00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:00,879
Speaker 2: that's our hope. But there may be stretches early in

423
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 2: this season where we don't see him. I just think

424
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:06,880
Speaker 2: there that that would have served his purpose better because

425
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:10,440
Speaker 2: I think what he's he's finding himself more on the defensive.

426
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:13,640
Speaker 2: It's clearly that I think he thinks he should be

427
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:16,359
Speaker 2: and I believe they could have done something about that.

428
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:19,119
Speaker 2: We've gotten texts on that on this for weeks. It's like,

429
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:20,479
Speaker 2: what was he pulling? Sof what do you mean he's

430
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 2: pulling stuff? What's going on here?

431
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 1: He's soft? What's the deal?

432
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:28,200
Speaker 2: Obviously he's not soft, But because all along it was, hey,

433
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:31,200
Speaker 2: everything's great with Christian, well they and literally they might

434
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:33,159
Speaker 2: have meant that, but there should have. They should have

435
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,880
Speaker 2: found a way training staff somewhere in there to say

436
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:36,920
Speaker 2: what I just said that.

437
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,639
Speaker 1: Don't expect that. We know that everybody knows we're.

438
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:45,439
Speaker 2: Gonna he's gonna be able to play every down of

439
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:48,680
Speaker 2: every every offensive snap. Of every game from the start

440
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 2: of the season. It may be a little bit more complicated,

441
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:52,199
Speaker 2: It may be a little bit we may have to

442
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:54,920
Speaker 2: go sideways a little bit, because all of this is

443
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 2: in the name of caution, because what's the objective the

444
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,440
Speaker 2: long term viability and health of one of our most

445
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:03,119
Speaker 2: important players.

446
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 1: Good friend of mine used to be a host at

447
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:09,200
Speaker 1: a restaurant somewhere, and one thing they were always told,

448
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 1: when a guest comes in and says, we'd like a

449
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:15,720
Speaker 1: table for four, is no problem. That'll be twenty minutes,

450
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:18,920
Speaker 1: you know, Okay, when they know it's going to be tense,

451
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 1: when they pull up and all of a sudden, they're

452
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:24,199
Speaker 1: little buzzer rings ten minutes earlier than they thought. Everybody's excited. Right,

453
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 1: When do the customers get pissed? Yeah, we're told our

454
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 1: table is gonna be ready fifteen minutes. We've been here

455
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 1: for twenty five. We've been here for thirty Any update

456
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:35,439
Speaker 1: on the on the guard table for four? The point is,

457
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 1: if you just manage things the right way on the

458
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:41,119
Speaker 1: front end, people I think are fairly reasonable, correct. I

459
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 1: don't know if you talked about this on Friday, but

460
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 1: I also thought it was interesting when They were asking

461
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 1: Koc about JJ after the game on Thursday, and he

462
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:53,399
Speaker 1: said something like he'll be the starter when he's healthy,

463
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:56,399
Speaker 1: as has always been the case. Yes, like, well that

464
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:59,399
Speaker 1: hasn't been what you've told us for three weeks, right

465
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 1: and again. And we don't expect you to name a

466
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 1: starter every single time you go to the podium. But

467
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:07,119
Speaker 1: that's not what we heard right after Carson in London,

468
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 1: And will just answer your question. That's why I didn't

469
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 1: say it, because at that point Carson was in a

470
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:15,359
Speaker 1: different place and he had to keep the option open,

471
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:18,439
Speaker 1: didn't he. So to your point, he is trying to

472
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:21,119
Speaker 1: have it both ways. He is saying something different and

473
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:22,680
Speaker 1: I don't even blame for saying it, but he can't

474
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:24,880
Speaker 1: be upset with the question. Right.

475
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 2: The defensiveness regarding this whole thing. Thankfully, that's about to

476
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:33,440
Speaker 2: go away, right because there's no mystery left now. Right,

477
00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:36,359
Speaker 2: McCarthy is going to be the quarterback the rest of

478
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:40,359
Speaker 2: this season unless he can't stay healthy, right period, end

479
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 2: of story.

480
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 1: All right, let's break.

481
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:44,720
Speaker 2: Let's get Nacho Lieber's reaction to the Carson Wentz news,

482
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 2: maybe what he sees regarding the National Football Conference North

483
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:52,240
Speaker 2: Bears came back to reality last yesterday, but the packers

484
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 2: keep kind of rolling along
